Since everyone loves our local restaurants, let us help you visit Flavortown.

Guy Fieri is known for his signature hair and Food Network TV shows like “Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives.” The show has visited our city a number of times over the years. We’ve since added a few more eateries to our original list of stops they have made around Boston.

Mike’s City Diner
Visit this classic ‘50s-style diner for the all-day breakfast or the hearty dinner plates. The pricing for these large portions will leave you and your wallet feeling full.

Lone Star Taco Bar
When you visit the Allston or Cambridge stop, try the Mexican grilled street corn, Crunch-wrap, jalapeno corn cakes + flan, then wash it all down with a couple of Mug-arita drinks.

Sam Lagrassa’s
The two most popular items on the menu have been around for nearly five decades: chipotle pastrami sandwiches + clam chowder. This counter service sandwich spot is only open for lunch during the week.

Visit this pizza shop on Newbury for dine-in or take out.

Dirty Water Dough
Drawing inspiration from the classic Boston song “Dirty Water,” this pizza shop features fresh pies made with a signature beer dough. Grab a pie and get cozy with a fireplace and great seating in the Back Bay.

Pauli’s
This family-owned spot serves up delicious sandwiches, including lobster rolls, burgers, pastas, wraps, and breakfast items from the North End.

Angela’s Cafe
This Mexican-inspired eatery has two popular locations in Eastie, specializing in breakfast and lunch choices. Don’t skip the signature Chilaquiles Verdes.

Cafe Polonia
Featuring classic Polish cuisine like pierogi, stuffed cabbage, and meat-filled potato dumplings, this eatery has been around since 2002.

Casa Razdora
An abundance of scratch-made Italian fare awaits you, including antipasti, pasta, and salad. Check out the large collection of daily lunch specials like chicken parmigiana on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Boston Burger Company
As the name states, this Boylston Street spot has plenty of burgers with a list of over 20 combinations. Check out the Mac Attack featuring a patty topped with bacon + homemade macaroni and cheese.

Saus
Combining several cuisine types, you can indulge in comfort foods with a twist, like the Messy Chili-Cheese burger or the Kimchi-Ranch chicken sandwich. Plus, you can customize your own poutine with assorted toppings, including fried eggs and truffled mushrooms.

Yankee Lobster Company
This Northern Avenue joint features plenty of seafood platters and sandwiches, plus multiple lobster dishes and a raw bar. If you’re not in the mood for traditional seafood, choose from the Ahi tuna, fish or shrimp tacos, as well as rice bowls + macaroni and cheese.

Blunch
Pressed sandwiches are on the menu at this South End eatery. Sample the Bird on Fire with sliced chicken breast, spicy aioli, smoked bacon, and cheddar cheese or the Giving Tree stuffed with smoked turkey, cheddar, honey dijon, green apple, and baby greens. Check out the Whim of the Day for special sandwich selections.

Bonus: Guy also has one restaurant in Boston: Guy’s Kitchen is next to Boston Common at 186 Tremont St.
