12. Funky Fresh

Guy Fieri's fillin' up on fresh-and-funky flavors. It's a passport to Italy in Chicago, with scratch-made pasta in the front window and serving out-of-bounds burrata tortelli and indulgent duck pappardelle. Then, a Missoula, Mont., husband-and-wife team is getting creative between the bread with the-bomb banh mi smash burger and buttermilk-brined fried chicken with sweet-and-spicy smoke. Plus, a pair of brothers is going farm-to-table in Tallahassee, Fla., platin' up Southern classics like craveable crab cakes, corn fritters, catfish and collards.
