This trip, Guy's headed coast to coast, from north to south. In Atlantic City, the local legend dishin' out righteous crab-stuffed flounder and a legit spin on cannelloni. In Phoenix, the mom and pop pizza shop firing up pies topped with everything from baked ziti to chicken marsala. And in Bakersfield, Calif., some sunshine and down-home specialties, like tri tip and grilled chicken, worthy of a road trip.

This trip, Guy's gettin' a far out taste of both coasts. In Bakersfield, Calif., the 75-year-old steakhouse firing up savory stuffed pork chops and legit lobster mac 'n cheese. Across town, the Latin-American fusion joint cranking out chicken and tri-tip with a south-of-the-border spin. And in Somers Point, N.J., the sandwich spot serving up all kinds of crazy combos, like a killer crab melt and the bomb pork belly reuben.

"GLOBE TASTING"

Airs -- 10 p.m. March 13; 1 a.m. March 14

Synopsis from "Triple-D" show page:

This trip, Guy's getting an authentic taste of all ends of the earth. In Bakersfield, Calif., the firehouse-turned-restaurant firing up Latin-fusion favorites like basque lamb tacos and popcorn pork with a side of zing. In Northfield, N.J., a Sicilian spot servin' all kinds of authentic specialties like grandma's pizza and homemade pappardelle pasta. And in Phoenix, the funky Thai joint dishing out off-the-hook dumplings and coconut Asian pork.

Fieri is also nearing the opening of his own restaurant, Johnny Garlic's, at The Marketplace in Bakersfield.

Have you been to those places? Thoughts?

I was disappointed that they left the "g" on that final "dishing" at the end.

I've been to Muertos (excellent burgers, fried mushrooms and garlic fries) about 3-5 times. Saltys is directly across the street from me and I've been there about 12-15 times. Excellent sandwich called The Pig. Pulled pork and tri tip topped with coleslaw. I've been Moo Creamery once about a month ago and had a burger, it was very good. I won't go to KC Steakhouse, I've heard a lot of bad things about it. Never been to the other two.
