Season Eleven, Episode Five
A Little Twisted - Original Airdate 1/31/11
This trip Guy Fieri's checking out the unexpected. In Merrick, New York, Italian family recipes -- in an old fast food joint. In Sacramento, California, a former Japanese grill turned diner where they're doing vegetarian beet sliders along with European classics like old school Rouladen. And in Superior, Wisconsin, a bunch of Triple D fans take us to their favorite burger place, that even they call a dive.

Pretty sure the Merrick NY place is The Pit Stop, they are in Merrick and have a sign up inside saying Guy was Here.
I thought so too. But are they known for Italian family recipes? And is it in an old fast food joint?
Well they are known for cooking a little of everything and I believe on the show they cook a pasta dish!?
While the place itself isn't old it has an old-time drive-in type of look to it, so I would say it fits the description pretty well.
What a rip...the anchor was featured for all of about a minute and a half, while they feature the duluth grill in another epiode for 6 or 7??? Come on triple D, you can do a better job than that.
Please post the recipe for the Rouladen from Gatsby's Diner. It reminds me of my grandmother's recipe and I would love to remember Grandma with a delicious German meal!!!
Whitney, we saw that. These "unhosted" segments are relatively new for the show. I'm not sure the production crew has a handle on 'em yet. :(
Anon, if Food Network ever posts the recipe, we'll have it here too! Keep an eye out for it. :)
Please post the recipe for the beet sliders. They look wonderful.
I want that recipe for spaghetti squash. I LOVE THE PIT STOP!
Pretty please post the spaghetti squash recipe.... It looked totally delicious.....
Please post the recipe for the Beet Sliders!
Another vote for the beet sliders recipe please :)
Did they ever post the recipe for the beet sliders? Where can I find it?
Those beet sliders looked awesome! I'd love to try them but Sacramento is a bit far from Chicago...please post the recipe!!

Ingredients
5 quarts water
1/2 cup sea salt, plus a pinch
1 tablespoon dried dill
6 dried arbol chiles
1/4 cup coriander seeds
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 large carrot, coarsely chopped
2 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
1/2 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons seasoning sauce (recommended: Maggi)
6 to 8 whole beets (depending on size)
Olive oil
Green Goddess Dressing, recipe follows
Sliced red onions, for serving
16 to 18 slider buns, toasted
Directions
In a large stock pot, combine and the water, 1/2 cup sea salt, dill, chiles, coriander, caraway, carrots, celery, onions, seasoning sauce, and beets and bring to a boil. Boil on medium heat for about 1 hour.
Remove the beets and let cool, discarding the liquid. Once cooled, remove the skin from the beets with a vegetable peeler. (Remember to wear gloves, as the beets will stain your hands as well as other surfaces.) Cut the beets into 1/4 to 3/8-inch slices. Place the beet slices, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt into a skillet over high heat and saute until glossy and tender, about 2 1/2 minutes on each side.
Remove the beets from the skillet and serve with shaved red onion and Green Goddess Dressing on a toasted slider bun.

Steffi! You're amazing. :)
The recipe for the Spaghetti Squash can be found: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lowcarb-recipe-help-suggestions/709808-diners-drive-ins-dives.html
I followed that recipe basically when I made it. This is what I did
Sauce:
One whole onion (chopped, medium dice)
4-5 cloves of minced garlic
canned crushed italian tomatoes (32oz. can I believe)
little bit of salt and pepper
about an ounce parm cheese
5-6 leaves of fresh basil
2-3 tbs of red wine (I didn't have any chianti)
Saute the onion until tender, add the garlic. after a few minutes, add the sauce and everything else. simmer for about 10-15 minutes to bring out the flavors.
Filling:
cut the squash in half and boil for about 17 minutes. clean out the seeds, and shred the flesh with a fork.
2 tbs of olive oil
3 cloves minced garliv
1/2 red onion
1 carrots, chipped
1 stalks of celery, chopped
1/2 a yellow and red bell pepper chopped
yellow squash, chopped
zucchini, chopped
about 5 broccoli florets
3 asparagus stalks
salt and pepper
about 2 cups of marinara sauce
Fry it all up, add the spaghetti squash and the sauce, cook it for another minute. spoon it back into the squash skin, and top with 2-3 slices of thick mozzarella cheese. bake for 10m at 350 to melt it. Top with lots of sauce!
It's really a great recipe. I really enjoyed it.
Please post the Rouladen recipe - thanks!
