Guy Fieri to showcase two more Mobile restaurants in November
Guy Fieri’s assault on Mobile will continue in November, according to information freshly released by the Food Network.
Area viewers have reason to think Fieri hit as many as six local venues for segments of “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” when he was in the area this summer. That comes from none other than “Panini Pete” Blohme, a Mobile-area restaurateur who’s been collaborating with Fieri for years. An episode featuring a segment on The Noble South in Mobile was to premiere on Friday, Oct. 20. The Food Network also has confirmed that the following episode, to debut on Oct. 27, will feature a segment shot at Southwood Kitchen in Daphne.
The latest news, via Food Network press release, is that fans can expect two more servings of Lower Alabama goodness on Nov. 10 and Nov. 17. The blurbs released so far don’t name the restaurants, but do give us some hints about what part of the flavor spectrum Fieri will explore.
On Friday, Nov. 10, we get an episode titled “Meaty to Meatless:” “This trip, Guy Fieri’s digging into dishes both with and without meat. In Mobile, Alabama, there’s righteous rabbit and an off-the-hook whole fried fish. In Omaha, Nebraska, a vegan joint is bringing a meatless spin to fried chicken and nachos. And in Stamford, Connecticut, Guy and sportscasting legend, Dan Patrick, chow down on some gangster Greek.”
Then on Nov. 17 we get “Wrapped, Pied & Fried.” The summary: “This trip, Guy Fieri’s having it wrapped, pied, and fried. In Mobile, Alabama, a funky Latin joint is serving craveable carnitas and a surf-and-turf burrito. In Cody, Wyoming, a pizza cart is firing up elevated Margherita and Thai Chicken pies. And in Omaha, Nebraska, it’s the bomb brisket sandwich and duck confit fries.”
We think we’ve gotten fatter just reading about it. And there’s more to come, if Panini Pete’s tip bears out.
