Blast From the Past (DV0709H)

Season Seven, Episode Nine

Blast From the Past - Original Airdate 10/19/09

Guy Fieri checks out some joints where things are still done the old-fashioned way. In Oklahoma City, a steak house that's been serving the same steaks, desserts and even salad dressing for more than 80 years; In Los Angeles, a 1940s diner brought back to life by a chef doing mac and cheese, fried catfish, and donuts ... her way; And in Boston, three brothers carry on 40-year-old family tradition - making clam chowder like Dad - and chipotle/pastrami sandwiches.

Guy Fieri finds three local joints doing scratch cooking their way. In Boise, Idaho, a family restaurant doing this trifecta: brick oven pizza, remarkable salads, and roasted chicken; In Cleveland, Ohio, a coffee shop turned restaurant where the bread's from scratch, the corned beef is house-brined, and veggies are grown out back; And in Chicago, a barbeque joint doing Memphis style dry rub for everything from brisket to beef tips and ribs.
