Momocho's modern Mexican cuisine is fresh-to-order, meaning they've ditched the walk-in freezers and heat lamps. Guy paid a visit for the guacamole served six different ways (think goat cheese, crab and pineapple). But regulars love the machaca, a tender coffee and chile braised beef brisket.
This trip Guys rolls in for old school classics and something a little different. In Chaffee, N.Y., a 54-year-old restaurant next to a farm field, where they're still doing chicken a la king from scratch. In Santa Cruz, Calif., a bait and tackle shop turned sit-down restaurant that's been serving homemade Italian favorites and fresh calamari for more than 30 years. And in Cleveland, the Mod Mex joint making tuna tacos with blood orange marmalade and guacamole with house smoked trout.
