Globally inspired: Triple D samples
a world of flavors stateside
By Michelle Rose

S
ummertime is travel time,
but you don’t need to leave
home to get a taste of the
world.
We’re living in an era when
food blurs borders and interna-
tional flavors are within easy
reach. And in this week’s epi-
sode of “Diners, Drive-Ins and
Dives,” airing Friday, July 12,
on Food Network, the Mayor of
Flavortown is chowing down
on global-inspired grub served
stateside.
In Wilmington, Delaware,
Guy Fieri stops by a deli for a
Cuban sandwich and sausages
that offer a taste of Thailand.
He then heads to a celebrity-
owned Tiki joint in Kauai before
heading back to the mainland,
to San Diego, where a Leba-
nese eatery cooks up authentic
dishes that are anything but
standard.
With more people traveling
and regional cuisines go-
ing global, dishes that once
seemed exotic are now familiar.
The same goes for ingredients
such as kimchi, sriracha, ha-
rissa and za’atar — every new
or new-to-some pantry staple
opens up more flavor possibili-
ties to satisfy our increasingly
international paletes.
And that’s a good thing, be-
cause after all, changing tastes
once propelled sushi and tacos
into the mainstream.
Of course, Fieri’s fans are no
strangers to new flavors and
different takes on the classics.
Now in its 30th season (or the
equivalent of 12 human years),
Triple D has crisscrossed the
country to uncover unique eats
at more than 1,200 restaurants.
That might seem like a lot
of mileage, but Fieri shows no
signs of slowing down.
He has his culinary empire
to manage and grow, plus he’s
launching a new tequila with
rocker Sammy Hagar. Fieri also
plans to turn his Chicken Guy
restaurant concept, with all 22
dipping sauces (including his
Donkey Sauce), into a nation-
wide chain.
In May, Fieri became the
third food personality to get a
star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame, with celebrity pal Mat-
thew McConaughey on hand
to give a speech.
It’s a testament to the popu-
larity of Food Network’s stand-
out star, whose drop-ins tend
to help boost business at many
of the eateries featured in
“Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”
Tune in on Friday to discover
three more.
