Bludso's BBQ

Guy Fieri visited Bludso's original location in Crompton, Los Angeles, for some Texas-style barbecue and featured its pork ribs and house-made spicy BBQ sauce.
Chef and pitmaster Kevin Bludso learned the art of Texas barbecue while spending his childhood summers in Texas. While here, the dinosaur
beef rib is an item you shouldn't miss.

Gott's Roadside

Gott's Roadside is a chain with multiple locations in Northern California. It started as a diner in Napa Valley's St. Helena, which is the location Fieri featured.
The location has received a James Beard award as one of America's Classics. While the show featured the Wisconsin burger, all of Gott's locations now offer a pretty large menu.

Jitlada

One of the best Thai restaurants in Los Angeles, Jitlada is a family-owned place known for its large menu. Its chef Sarintip Singsanong was a James Beard finalist in 2022.
It's popular among the Hollywood crowd. Taepo curry with morning glory is its iconic dish for lovers of spicy food, but there are also options for those who can't handle the heat.

Grand Harbor

Grand Harbor is a dim sum restaurant in Burlingame offers guests a view of the San Francisco Bay and planes landing at the San Francisco International Airport.
Other than the usual dim sum items, Grand Harbor also offers other traditional Chinese dishes. You can find lobster with noodles, kung pao chicken, and more.

Rutt's Hawaiian Cafe

Rutt's Hawaiian Cafe has been serving Hawaiian food like kalua pork since 1976. It's popular among locals for both its breakfast offerings and plate lunches.
Fieri visited the Washington Boulevard location, featuring the Original Hawaiian Royale — an open-faced egg scramble over rice topped with Portuguese sausage and Chinese BBQ pork.
