Season Eight, Episode Nine

Twists and Traditions - Original Airdate 3/22/10

Guy Fieri rolls in for old school classics and something a little different. In Chaffee, New York, a 42-year-old restaurant next to a farm field, where they're still doing chicken a la king from scratch. In Santa Cruz, California, a bait and tackle shop turned sit-down restaurant that's been serving home made Italian favorites and fresh calamari for more than 30 years. And in Cleveland, Ohio, the Mod Mex joint making tuna tacos with blood orange marmalade and guacamole with house smoked trout.
