Description

As a lifelong foodie, Mark Bee offers more than just the standard diner fare at his joint. Guy was left impressed by menu items such as duck confit spring rolls and pulled pork empanadas. “That is an orchestra right there; that's a medley of just great flavor,” Guy said of the empanadas. They start with fresh ham, which is cooked down with a mix of chili powders and spices, then shredded and layered with sweet potatoes; they're finished in a fried dough pocket slicked with a chipotle-honey glaze.

Episode Description

Guy Fieri searches for great joints where they re frying up a storm: A classic half-century old diner in Philadelphia, where a French trained chef is frying international specialties like spring rolls with duck confit; A classic drive-in where Californians line up for deep fried falafel; And a small town cafe where even the French classic, Chicken Cordon Bleu, is deep fried.
