[Guy] So I'm here at Juneau, Alaska,
Philadelphia, Boston, Kansas City, Missouri.
Through the years, Triple-D has been the ultimate food road trip.
On the road to Flavortown...
...where I've tasted thousands of amazing dishes.
That's legit.
...in over 300 cities...
You're going to love this place.
...across the United States
And if there's one thing I can count on,
it's my ride to get around i
The '68 Camaro is the cornerstone of Triple
and probably one of the mos recognized cars in the country.
Whew!
And now, she's about to get a twin sister.
It's one of my favorite cars but she's always on the road
With an identical twin, I'll always have one
I can cruise around town in
I want to not be able to tell which one was built first.
And while the work cracks on the restoration,
we're going to go under the hood, both on the show...
Out of bounds.
...and the car...
This is outrageous.
...that keeps Flavortown's motor running.
It's pretty obvious that foo is my number one passion.
Mm-hmm.
But you might not know that cars,
hot rods in particular, run a really close second.
Especially this one.
The Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives car
is near and dear to my heart.
It's the ride that gets me where I need to be.
America's funkiest mom and pop joints
serving the most out-of-bounds food
around the country and the world.
It's rich, variety of textures...
Great flavor, a lot of depth.
But it took a little while to land
on the '68 Camaro Super Spor
Come on.
At first, I was driving a whole fleet of classic car
...on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
I built the car about the second season of the show.
It's a '68 convertible Chevy...
And it's been my sidekick ever since.
It's basically a brand-new car
with an old body on top of it.
Man, 1968.
It's got a big block.
It's got a five-speed.
We just need to bump the timing up a little bit.
I've been through the whole thing. We rotisseried the car.
I mean, everything down to the frame.
But the problem is, is the car is always on the road,
and I never get to drive it.
All right, this is the place.
That's one problem.
Second problem is I have two sons,
Hunter and Ryder.
And if you could sit at the dinner table and listen
to the arguments of who is going to get that car when I'm gone...
So I want to build
another Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives '68 Camaro
so identical that nobody could tell the difference
between the two, most importantly, my sons.
I have a buddy of mine that's got a hot rod shop,
that's called VP Speed Shop
And when I tell them what I'm going to try...
Actually, I'm hoping that they're gonna be willing
to take on this project because this is going to be a project.
-What's up? Hey, guys. -What's up, brother?
All right, so, um, I want to make another Triple-D car.
So I found a '68.
It's convertible.
I think it's in good shape.
I can see how excited you are about it.
No, I'm excited.
I think this is gonna be a fun project.
All right, let's go look.
You ready?
Ladies and gentlemen.
Okay.
Well, I just broke the antenna off.
-[Dustin] We don't need that. -[Rory] That's okay.
-[Dustin] Okay, yeah. -[Rory] That looks nice.
[Guy] This car that we're working with,
it's a 327 car, but it's a small block
and it's an automatic.
[Rory] It looks pretty good.
[Dustin] It's like Grandma fresh, this thing.
-[Rory] Yeah. -[Guy] Grandma fresh.
It's like one owner, super nice car.
It looks like she took care of it.
Yeah.
[Dustin] What do we got here?
Ooh. Little dirty.
This thing is all original, huh?
[Rory] Yeah.
-This would be a good car for this, I think. -[Dustin] Yeah.
-[Guy] You think so? -[Dustin] Yeah.
[Guy] Why don't you guys take it to the shop
and then I'll come down there after you guys
have had a chance to dig into it.
Whew!
I want this to be so identic
that when we roll this off the floor
and I put this in front of Hunter and Ryder
I want them to not be able to tell
which one was built first.
How about we do it where you can't tell?
There we go. There we go.
That's the attitude.
It's awesome because it is such an important part of my life.
I'm a huge car guy. Always have been.
But when there is something inside of the body of the show
that is so iconic like the Camaro...
How fast can I go though?
-Don't drive it fast. -Why not?
Oh, we've had stories.
Get in, will you? Come on, get in here.
We had a chef drive the Camaro one time in New York City,
and he didn't bring it back.
Hey. Hey. Hey.
He really took the car.
He really took it.
He didn't bring it back because it ran out of gas.
First Avenue and 12th, he stalled.
We put multiple, multiple people in the trunk of the car.
-Hey, we're here. -Hi, Dad.
Hey, Joe. What?
We had a story about the car one time
when I just had a brand-new motor,
the brand new 502 put in that
and I let my buddy, Clint Bowyer, NASCAR driver,
drive it around the track.
You're up.
Well, he drove around the track one time
and thought he won the race and started
doing donuts and doing burnouts in the center.
[Clint] Put your seat belt on, you might need it.
[Guy] And since he showed me donuts, well,
I showed him burgers at Pinky's in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Asian pork burger up.
The Asian pork burger is sweet, tangy.
[man 1] That is delicious.
A little bit of the glaze, the cilantro honey slaw.
[Guy] Okay.
Look how good it is.
I just want to show you guys something.
My first bite and Bowyer's first bite.
Look at his fuel tank versus mine.
[Guy] Oh, what's this back here?
Guy coming to the shop, uh, he's a car guy.
If you don't know that, you do now,
you're going to learn that real quickly.
This is the problem that I have.
Oh, gosh.
This is dope.
It looks clean.
I mean, is there... did you find any rust?
[Rory] No, so the deal is this car has leaked enough oil
over its years and it's protected it from rusting.
-Is that what it is? -[Rory] Yeah.
The fact that there was a bunch of oil,
it was actually soaking it up and protecting it from drying out, rusting.
Huh. No floorboard rusted out.
All the floor pans are nice.
[Rory] Yeah. It saved the car.
So it's gonna save us time and it's gonna save him money.
I didn't know what I was getting
and I was really worried.
But to know that it's a really good core foundation
to start from, it just makes me feel great,
because I want it to be as authentic as possible.
He wants this car to be identical
to the Triple-D car, and it's gonna be a lot of work.
[Guy] First, the car needs to be stripped down to the bare metal.
Then they'll replace anythin damaged on the frame
and paint it righteous rojo my signature color
that I designed with the fol at House of Kolor.
After that, the whole thing will get put back together
with a new engine and transmission,
suspension, gearshift, gauge electrical, you name it.
And then the final assembly
That's seats, upholstery, steering wheel,
rims, tires, down to the nitty-gritty details
The recipe for this Triple-D Camaro
is if you want to make great food,
you've got to use really great ingredients.
Same thing goes with the car build.
This thing is going to be... it's gonna be a monster.
We'll get the car tore down
and get it assessed for parts ordering and things like that.
Excellent. I'm excited.
-[Dustin] Yeah? -Okay.
-Four months. -[Dustin] All right.
I guess we've got to get started like now.
-[Rory] Right. -[Guy] Coming up.
We redid the dash completely.
It's all brand new.
Well, that Camaro is in media blasting for about two weeks.
This Camaro is taking me to some new Triple-D
joints in Nashville.
Come on, Guy. We're here.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
[Guy] Triple-D is the ultima American road trip
looking for the funkiest, coolest,
most outstanding places to eat.
Now we're gonna take this bad boy for a test drive.
Mmm. Mmm.
And I decided early on, I had to have an iconic rid
to get around.
We're rolling out.
The red '68 Camaro became so synonymous
with Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives
that when I go to places, I mean,
people look at me and go, "Hey, where's the Camaro?"
[laughs]
I didn't design it to be as integral to the show as it is.
I've loaded the majority of my trunk with ingredients
It looks like it's hooked up to my Camaro.
I'm gonna take the floorboard out of the Camaro
and just yabba-dabba-doo at home.
But it is a major part.
It is the co-host of co-host
It's not very good and you should probably put it
all in the trunk of my car
and I'll get rid of it for you.
Hey, hey.
I'm not gonna get towed, am I?
And now, she's getting a stunt double
because I'm taking this '68 Camaro convertible that I found
and making it the spitting image of the OG
with the help of my buddies at VP Speed Shop.
[Rory] We need to get this thing stripped today,
get it all blown apart and get it to the blaster on Monday.
[Dustin] The first piece of interior.
There we go.
We already found some...
[Rory] Money. Oh! Whoa.
There's a house key, too.
[man 2] We're out.
[Rory] The teardown process is one of the most vital things
in the beginning of this deal.
That way, we can tell what kind of condition the car is in...
[man 2] Did you see this?
...and, you know, assess what we need to do.
Oh, there's one.
So the car's gonna go out to get media blasted.
That will really paint the picture
of what we have to work with
It'll show rust a little bi more if there's some.
They use plastic media or they also use
walnut shell or garnet.
So when it comes back to us it'll be in bare metal.
It'll be nice new looking metal.
[Guy] But the road trip has got to continue.
So while that Camaro is in media blasting
for about two weeks.
This Camaro is taking me to some new
Triple-D joints in Nashville.
Come on, Guy. We're here.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
I am never letting you drive again.
This is homegrown tap room and kitchen.
[woman 1] We put some of the cheese sauce
and we're just wanting the macaroni to get hot
-because the sauce is already hot. -[Guy] Got it.
-So we'll put it on here. -Is that a little dance you just did?
-Yes, I did. It is. -Is that macaroni and cheese sauce dance?
[woman 1] Macaroni in the bowl, housemade pork.
[Guy] Sitting in there in some of that jus.
Barbecue sauce on top.
I'm not hanging out with you anymore
if you bring me to places like this.
Top it with smoked cheddar.
I won't fit in the car.
[Maneet] Delicious.
[Dustin] All right.
So there's definitely some rust,
some patch panels that you could see right here already.
[Rory] Oh, yeah.
No, man. The tail light panel's murdered.
It's... it's pretty bad.
[Rory] So we're better off replacing this.
Basically, we found it had been hit in the back at some point in its life.
So the tail light panel was a little bit tortured over the years.
This is East Side Banh Mi.
That's a different level right there.
[Dustin] We're gonna have to do something with the floor, right here, too.
[Rory] Ooh, man, look at this dash, too.
[Dustin] Yeah, that's another problem.
We're gonna wind up having to put a dash panel top in it,
a complete tailpipe panel and probably,
at least half of the lower quarter panels in the rear.
I'll bet it's gonna add at least
two or three weeks to the timeline.
Here's your al pastor tacos.
Ridiculous.
This is a locals kind of joint?
-Yeah, absolutely. -Absolutely, and very sharable.
I'm usually just about taking and not so much of the sharing.
Like, you see what she's having right there?
-You want that? -Oh, no.
No, I was talking about what she was having.
Oh, wait.
Oh, chicken nachos up.
[Dustin] So there's all these little dots.
All along this panel,
there's an under structure under here.
So I want to keep that under structure, it's solid.
We're gonna start drilling out all those spot welds,
cutting things off, removing the taillight panel,
fixing those bottom quarters,
moving on to the dash top, got to fix that front floor piece.
Then we'll put the front fenders on, see how those fit.
See what we've got to do with the gaps.
Stuff like that. You know, fit the hood.
Just fit all the sheet metal, make it all fit
before we take it to the body shop.
[Guy] Come on, Cash.
Go get 'em. Find the car.
I've been gone for a few weeks shooting Triple-D.
I've been dying to see the car.
[Rory] So after we got this back from blasting,
there was a lot more damage and a lot more rust
and metal work than we thought there was gonna be.
Paint mondo hides a lot of stuff.
It's like makeup for some people.
[Rory] This whole tail light panel, it was ruined.
We redid the dash completely.
It's all brand new.
The firewall, we fixed that.
This was what pushed the timeline back.
[Guy] All right.
They have done a lot of hard work.
They jumped right into this.
They bit off a lot and they've got a lot to chew.
And coming up...
Look at that.
I wanted to bring them lunch.
Can you put together a little something-something for me and bring it over?
[Guy] I hope Rory is ready.
It's gonna be a good day.
It's been a few months sinc I left the '68
with my buddies at VP Speed Shop.
No, not that Camaro.
This one.
They're working around the clock to build me an exact
twin to the famous Triple-D Camaro.
[Dustin] There it is.
[Guy] So the least I can do is return the favor.
Hey, chef. Guy Fieri.
Hey, listen, I'm at my buddy's hot rod shop.
He's building a new Camaro for me,
and he's got a bunch of guys that are really knocking it out for me,
and I wanted to bring them lunch.
Can you put together a little something-something for me and bring it over?
Coming out.
It's prime New York, salted butter.
[Guy] We got about 15 guys. You're the best, brother.
All right. I'll see you in a bit. VP Speed shop.
The goal is to make two identical cars
so they can share the Triple duties around the country.
Mmm.
But from the looks of it, this one's not taking me anywhere anytime soon.
Literally, every single thing
is out of the car.
-[Rory] Everything. -The windows, the seats... I mean, the only thing
that's left in the car is just what's metal.
[Rory] The shell, that's it.
So every gasket has to be put back in.
[Rory] Every wire, every...
-[Guy] Every wire, every nut, every bolt, every... -Every screw, molding...
-...every single thing. -Everything.
[Guy] When I dropped this off to Rory and the tea
I said, we're gonna work on a timeline, right?
To show up today and to see the car
completely broken down, media blasted, repaired,
um, they're on time and that is fantastic.
Just so you know, the boys, particularly Hunter,
are not convinced that you're gonna
be able to build the... he... Hunter says,
"Dad, I've been around that car since he was a little kid."
I mean, Hunter's been doing
-Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with me forever. -Yeah.
Did you guys already start without me?
No, no, no, no.
-Genoa salami. -Got Genoa.
[man 3] Spicy sausage.
[Guy] You want to try some?
Grab us a table and don't start without me.
Where do you start?
[Guy] You just dig in. Look at that.
[Hunter] This is ridiculous. I'm getting that in on this.
That's about as real deal as it gets right there, probably.
[Hunter] Nice job, Dad.
[Guy] He's been in that car and I can't even think
about how many shows.
So Hunter and I are cruising the main drag here
at Santa Barbara, California, called State Street.
I'm trying to park the car, you take over my show.
So we're here in Cambridge, Mass.
[Guy whistles] What? Hold up now, son.
This is a place that Hunter and I have been rolling to for years.
[both] Mmm.
You know, that'll be a little bit of a challenge.
But there's cheaters and there's losers when it comes to that.
Oh, you win, I'm not... listen,
you... you... you mystify me in so many ways.
Uh, what else you got?
[Rory] Okay. So, yeah, this is the real deal right here.
[Guy] All right, boys.
-[Dustin] Check that thing out. -[Guy exclaims]
[Guy] And what's the horsepower in that?
650 horse.
GM performance, LT4.
[Guy] Look at that.
[Dustin] It's so special, they put the guy's name
on it who built it.
-[Guy] Seriously? -[Dustin] Yeah.
[Rory] Yeah, these are hand-assembled.
-[Guy] Seriously? -[Rory] Yeah.
[Dustin] Yeah, thank you, Steve Stinson.
Old Steve Stinson, you animal, you.
[Guy] All right, so what happens from here?
How many components and how does this, I mean,
this just doesn't drop right in.
The new suspension pieces that we ordered
comes with a whole new subframe that's already has LT motor mounts,
so it will bolt right into the subframe.
So the subframe bolts into the bottom of the car...
-Right. -...which creates the front of the car.
-[Rory] Correct. -We're all ready for that.
That's already ready to accept this LT motor on to that.
Correct. And then it's mating to the transmission.
[Guy] Five speed or six?
-[Rory] Six. -Amen.
When you have a muscle car, you got to bang through the gears.
-You gotta. You can't-- -You can't just put in drive and go away.
-You can't. -You've got to... you got to bang through the gears.
[Guy] Looking at these car parts, it's kind of lik looking at a mise en place.
All the ingredients, but nothing put together yet
Thankfully, that's not the case with lunch,
which chef Dustin Valette brought from his place,
Roof 106, in nearby Healdsburg.
[Dustin Valette] Come on, Cash. [smooches]
He's just wandering around?
He's hungry. He's happy.
-[Guy] Look at this set up, buddy. -Oh, what do you think?
I asked for some delivery.
[laughs]
[Dustin] I got to say, Guy,
this is better than my paper sack lunch.
[Guy] Right?
I wanted to do something nice for you guys.
I didn't know that he was gonna go
to this level with it, but this is how Dustin does everything.
[Dustin Valette] This is a butter-roasted New York.
We did it bone in.
So it's really big, beautiful, delicious flavors.
We're gonna finish off a little bit of black Paraguayan truffles.
We have a little seared ahi tataki.
Next, we have some blistered shishito peppers.
We got a duck confit pizza.
This is broccolini pizza, a little bit of feta cheese on top of there.
Then we got a pork belly, onions, gruyere,
a little smoked salmon with crispy capers, preserved lemons.
Dustin, chef, thank you very much.
-Cheers. -Cheers, brother.
-[Guy] Cheers. Cheers. -[Frank] Cheers, all.
-[Guy] Well done, you guys. -[Frank] Yeah.
[Guy] Okay, let's get after it.
-Duck pizza is the bomb. -[all chuckling]
All of these pizzas, they all have different sauces to them.
[Ray] I mean, the ingredients on pizza, I never even thought of putting on pizza.
My new favorite, for sure.
I don't even know what I'm eating, but it's really good.
[Guy] What do you guys think?
[indistinct chatter]
[Guy] Isn't that real deal?
[Dustin] Whether it's like cars or food, you can feel the passion no matter what.
You know, when you eat it, you can feel the passion.
When you drive the car, you can feel it.
[Guy] There's such a difference... this is the funny thing about it,
and I'll compare this to building cars and making food.
You can find pizzas for 5.99 and you can get your car painted for $99, right?
Yes.
[Guy] And the reality of it is, from 20 feet away,
it looks like a regular pizza and it looks like a regular paint job.
But once you really get up close and intimate with it,
you realize that there are so much more to it than just what's on the surface.
[Frank] Good from far and far from good.
Done.
Do I say... Do I say...
-I'm writing that one down, Frank. -Okay.
The steak, it's really good and really moist.
Black truffles on top of it was delicious.
-[Guy] You got to try shishito, they're the bomb. -[Dustin] Ah, wow.
I had a little bit of everything.
My favorite was those peppers.
Super sweet.
It's not what I expected. Something different.
Definitely the best lunch we've ever had at our shop.
It's a job well done.
Thank you, guys. Really appreciate it.
-[Rory] Thank you. This was awesome. -[Frank] Thank you.
[Dustin] Thank you.
[Guy] But unlike this meal, the car is far from finished
[Rory] The next step will be this car
will get completely prepped.
-We'll mock it up first. -Yes.
And we'll come back, completely paint it underneath,
everywhere on top, and then it'll start getting assembled.
This is great. Thank you.
-[Rory] How's it going? -[Dustin] Good.
[Rory] So next step, you just got to fit the hood.
[Dustin] Yeah.
We should be able to roll it off to the body shop today.
[Rory] Good deal.
[Guy] But coming up...
It's called righteous rojo.
Tons of flavor, tons of textures.
[man 4] Tons of flavor. Big flavors, too.
[Guy] The new '68 is rollin out, looking for its signatu
righteous rojo paint job.
[Rory] The color of this car is called righteous rojo.
It's a color that was made for Guy for the original car from House of Kolors.
There's only one car in the world painted that color.
That's all right here,
right now on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
It's pretty amazing that we're working on this
iconic part of television as far as cars go.
[cheering]
I think the Triple-D Camaro is probably the crown jewel
because of how iconic it is
[crowd cheering]
-There's funky joints all over this country. -How are you?
[man] It's been to every state in the United States.
-How about that one? -Top notch.
I'm here in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
I'm here in the Montrose area of Houston, Texas.
I'm here in New York City.
-Here at Key West, Florida. -Mmm.
You can't call something banging
unless it tastes like that.
-Thank you. -That's legit.
Look at that...
Mmm!
It's outstanding.
That pizza is fantastic.
-Mm-hmm. -And to Canada.
So I'm here in the Hintonburg area of Ottawa, Canada.
I'm here in Vancouver, Canada.
We just got done shooting Triple-D.
Coriander, ginger.
-Sharp. -Yeah.
Yeah, it's sharp.
[whispering] Put this in the car, he won't know...
[woman] There it is.
You don't see beef ribs enough.
They're dynamite.
You want to talk about tender and delicious?
These are good ribs.
And I don't think we took it to Hawaii.
[Guy] We're rolling through the Hawaiian Islands.
But that's still a lot of road it's covered.
That's why I asked Rory's team at VP Speed Sho
to build me a Camaro doppelganger.
And it's getting closer with every coat
of my signature "Righteous Rojo" paint.
[man] Here it is in all its glory.
All shined up.
[Dustin] Yeah. Looks really good.
[man] You want to steer or push, Dustin?
[Dustin] Uh, I'll steer.
Is that his color?
-Righteous Rojo? -[man] Yeah.
The Righteous Rojo is a really cool color.
[man] I got it.
When you get it in the sun, there's actually metallic in it.
Now there's only two cars painted that color
in the whole world, so it's pretty cool.
We're excited.
I mean, we're running out of time,
so we're ready to get this thing
looking like a car again.
[man] You're good.
[Guy] Next step, getting the front end assembled.
The engine transmission, brakes, wiring, plumbing,
everything is already done and we've made it as a unit
And now that they've got the car back,
we're gonna roll that one i and it'll start taking shape
[Dustin] It's like buried against the floor.
[Rory] That helped it.
[Dustin] You good?
There you go.
Okay, that's that.
So now we can keep going on this thing.
I just want to take big swings at it.
So if he pops in at some point,
he can really see some major stuff.
[Dustin] We're gonna get bus We're gonna keep going.
[Guy] But while they've bee putting the car back togethe
I've been breaking down dish on Triple-D's from coast to coast.
All right, Hunter, where are we?
We're in Palm...
-[Hunter] Uh... Springs. -Nope.
Desert, but it was a 50-50 try.
-You almost got it. -[Hunter] All right.
[Guy] So I'm here in South Bound Brook, New Jersey,
which is about 45 minutes from New York City.
-[man] Turkey, the roast beef. -Dead man.
[man] So she has toothpicks.
That's not toothpicks.
That right there is like a saber.
[man] And Russian on top.
It's a little messy.
[Guy] Thank you, Captain Obvious.
[laughs] Obvious...
-It should come with a beach towel. -Yeah.
The Russian is delicious.
Slaw has got good crunch.
Doesn't overpower it.
Corned beef is out to lunch.
Roast beef cooked perfectly.
Turkey, delicious.
When a cold sandwich can taste that good,
it's because you're using quality ingredients and doing it the right way.
-Yes. Thank you. Thank you. -Impressed me.
Had to show up at the shop today.
Rory called and said that the Camaro has had some big advancements.
I know they've got it back from paint.
What has happened past that, I don't know.
So they're excited. They called me.
I called one of my favorite Thai restaurants
here in Northern California, a place called Tomi Thai.
So I'm gonna serve them lunch and they're gonna feed me the Camaro.
It's gonna be good.
All right, give me an update. Where are we?
-[Rory] Are you ready for this? -Tada!
[whistles]
[Rory] That is the Righteous Rojo.
There's two cars in the world painted this color
and this is one of them.
[Guy] Wow!
[Rory] And these guys did amazing on the paint.
[Guy] Wow, wow, wow.
It is beautiful!
[Rory] Front suspension is done.
Brakes are done. Brake lines are done. Motor is done.
-Trans is done. -It's got enough caliper and enough
crossfield rotors to be a race car.
[Rory] Took it upon myself to kind of do.
[Guy] Oh, my God. Look how sexy that is.
This is outrageous.
Is it farther along than you thought it was gonna be?
Without question.
Especially having the motor in
and having the front suspension done.
What's our timeline?
[Rory] We were shooting for three weeks from now.
Three weeks from now? This will fire and drive?
-[Rory] Yeah. -[Dustin] Well, look at it now.
[Guy] Walk me through this.
What happens in the next three weeks?
[Dustin] Put the carpet in there, and put the door panels on.
Get the power window, you know, regulators,
all that kind of stuff in.
Fuel lines, brake lines, gas tank, stuff like that.
[Guy] I can't wait guys.
I can't wait.
Well, I brought lunch.
That's the only thing I can offer.
I can't, you know, can't help you with anything like,
Hey, that bolt is loose.
Um... All I can do is bring food.
-So... -[Dustin] Hey, that works.
There you go.
I mean, this isn't polite to do,
but I'm just gonna make sure it's not poison.
That's what they used to do for the queen.
-All right. Walk me through it, brother. -[Kevin] All right.
So we have our chicken spring rolls here
with our house made peanut sauce.
Nahm Tok Moo is our grilled pork salad.
Unbelievable!
[Kevin] And then we also have our Larb.
Larb is a traditional Laotian Thai.
-L-A-R-B, not P. -Yeah. Yeah.
This is our red curry with chicken.
And this is the Pad Kra Pow.
This is a stir fried pork with fresh chilies, garlic.
[Guy] Pad Kra Pow is one of my all-time favorites.
Don't feel that you have to overeat
because I'll take the leftovers.
-[laughs] -And...
And here we have our drunken noodles.
And this is our pineapple fried rice.
[Guy] These are the two heavy hitters, right?
These are the two heavy hitters.
Brother, you bringing this down is awesome.
I know they're gonna appreciate it.
You're a legend.
[Rory] I have a confession to make.
-I've never had Thai food... -Ever?
-[Rory] Ever. -[Guy] Okay.
This is the goods, the pineapple fried rice.
They are known for that.
[Rory] What are the rolls?
[Kevin] The roles are chicken, iceberg lettuce,
cilantro, mint, cucumbers.
So I recommend if you do get some of the pineapple fried rice
and get some of that curry on top of it.
[Guy] Unbelievable.
What do you think, guys?
Drunken noodles is one of my favorites here.
-[Rory] I love those rolls. -Delicious.
It's a little spicy. Just enough kick.
Very good.
This is the first time I've had Thai food,
which sounds crazy.
Everyone's like, shocked, but that was really good.
I was like, surprised, like whoa, flavor, dude.
Just tons of flavor, tons of textures.
[Dustin] There's tons of flavor. Big flavors, too.
It's awesome.
The best Thai food I've ever had.
Oh, thank you very much. Thank you.
[Guy] Up next...
[Dustin] Busy day today.
-[engine revs] -[exclaims]
Kick start in oven.
-[Guy] Outstanding. -Thank you.
[Guy] It's been five months since work started on the sister '68.
It's been stripped down to bare metal.
Patched up, paint it and put back together,
and it's looking brand new.
[Rory] Better than new, actually.
[Guy] Rory thinks it's too easy to tell the ol
and new Camaros apart, so there's only one thing to do.
So we got both of the Triple-D cars now,
the OG car and the new car we're building.
This is the original Triple-D car.
It's been on the road for almost 13 years,
so it's had its wear and tea
It's starting to show its age a little bit.
[Rory] The paint on that car is just not up to the standards
that we've got this new car at.
And, you know, the whole hook of this deal was to make sure
that he doesn't know which car is which.
So the old car is gonna have to get repainted.
That's just all there is to it.
When we get the original car from the body shop,
we're basically just gonna be playing catch up
and trying to get it up to where this car is.
[Guy] But now I've got two Camaros out of commission...
[tire screeching]
[Guy] ...and a full plate in front of me.
So while I'm out trying new dishes,
I'm also test driving new rides.
All right, son, we're here in Taos, New Mexico,
about three and a half miles from downtown.
So I'm here in Morehead City, North Carolina.
He was just born when I started on the Food Network.
And now he's making his driving debut here
on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives,
the one and only Ryder Fieri.
Hey, Hunter. Come on. We ready?
I'm here in a little beach town called New Smyrna Beach.
This is Panheads Pizzeria.
Kickstart in the oven.
My new favorite thing is the Seek & Destroy flatbread pizza,
the brisket, onions, horseradish,
all the flavors together go really well.
Horseradish cream, fresh basil.
Seek and Destroy.
This is so mindful and so chef'd.
The brisket is delicious. Not too much smoke.
Not too much horseradish, Alfredo.
Nice, creamy, delicious.
-Outstanding! -Thank you.
We're gonna keep going with windows and the wiring.
We're gonna do all the fuel lines, brake lines, stuff like that
We're here in Emerald Isle, North Carolina,
on a family reunion.
By the way mom has called me like four times now,
and they want us at the beach.
I know, but we have to take the Corvette for a spin.
This is Sheppard Barbecue.
Rib plate in the window.
[Guy] Where does this stack up in the world of barbecue?
It's the number one place for me.
[Guy] And the collard greens. Give me the rundown on this?
[man] A inspiration of my grandmother.
[exclaims]
[man] We call these Helen's colors.
[Guy] Those are great greens.
-Dynamite sandwich. -Mm-hmm.
The pork is tender, but doesn't have a ton of smoke.
Sausage has got a great bite
Yeah, that's a great textural difference between the full pork and the sausage.
I mean, it's nice to have that.
Coming for your job.
-[Hunter] And, you know... -"Textural difference."
[Hunter] That's kind of gold, money.
[Guy] We could put that on a flip flop.
Legit.
You know, this is looking like a complete car.
Got the bumper on there for the final time.
Nice SS gas caps fit.
We even have the gas tank in there.
All the fuel lines are hooked up.
All the wiring is going to it.
It's feeling good for sure.
I know the deadline's coming in,
you know, pretty fast,
but I feel like we're doing good.
[Dustin] As you get some of the pretty like jewelry on here,
like some of the chrome parts and trim and stuff like that,
it really starts to pop and makes you feel a lot better.
[laughs]
So I'm here in North Conway, New Hampshire.
Now, this area is known for a lot.
You know, in the winter it's all about the skiing
and well, in the summer it's the kayak and rafting down the river.
I'm here to check out a join where they came up here
for the skiing, to brew bee and to smoke meats.
And well, they've been doing it for 22 years.
So I got to check it out.
This is Moat Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery.
[man] Firing Thai chicken pizza.
After a long day of skiing or hiking,
it's just real good comfort food.
Pick it out, brisket. Slicing now.
The smoked meats are excellent.
Just can't speak highly enough about it.
-[Guy] Everything is scratch made here. -Yeah.
It's our home away from home.
[Guy] I dig it.
Wham bam!
So about ready to get going here?
-Yeah. Let's do it. -All right.
Taylor Schultz, he's the one that actually painted the whole car.
And we're here to have him do the stripe today
on the front.
[Dustin] This is gonna be seen by a lot of people.
So it's gotta be perfect.
[Rory] We're definitely not skimping on the details,
even though there's a lot of big things left to do.
All the little things are really what's gonna matter.
It'll be perfect.
[Guy] They've got about 15 days
before I really need the cars back.
It may look like there's still a ton to do,
and that would be correct.
But they're cranking along.
[Dustin] Definitely a busy day today.
There's like a million things going on.
All the wiring is done in one car and almost done in this car.
[Dustin] We're looking pretty good,
if you want to check it out.
All the brakes are done.
[Dustin] We'll be here till ten like we are every night.
-[Rory] Yeah. That's good. -[Dustin] So...
[engine starting]
-[engine revs] -[exclaims]
There we go.
It's a little louder.
-Sounds better. -What?
[Dustin] Nothing else matters except for just starting it up.
Hearing it.
We have seven days left, and this is kind of crazy,
like how these things look.
-We have seven days left. -Yeah.
[Dustin] Whoo.
Okay.
We've been working every night, every day, weekends.
I've even contemplated just bringing my pillow here,
a couple of blankets, you know, just staying here.
I mean, it's go home. Go to sleep.
Wake up, come back.
I mean, that's pretty much all it is.
You'll spend all this time building one of them
and you're like, "Ah, finally I'm done with this thing."
But then you got to make another one.
We have 18 hours and 24 minutes left,
according to our countdown clock.
[Guy] The countdown is on.
Those cars are supposed to be done tomorro
and it's definitely down to the wire.
[Rory] There's a lot of detail stuff left there,
a little bit of trim work.
They're polishing the paint and just doing
all the final detail stuff.
[Guy] But just like any good dish,
you don't want to skimp on the presentation.
All those finishing touches can really make the meal.
And coming up...
[Guy] This is the big unveiling.
Chef Cesar, baking pizza and serving everybody something to eat.
Which is the original Triple-D car?
[Guy] The Triple-D car has seen its fair share of meals in San Diego,
Phoenix, Albuquerque, Cambridge, Mass.
East Side and South Side of just about every state in the country.
But there's only so much she can do alone.
Is this for two?
-[man] That's a monster. -What?
-That's one serving. -[Guy] Yeah.
We'll give you a handcart to get you to your car.
It's time for her to share the road with sister Camaro
I take that back.
It's almost time.
It looks like we got about 2 hours and 40 minutes
on the old clock up there left.
[Dustin] We'll get there. We'll get there.
It's looking pretty good.
[Guy] When I put them in the challenge to do
is to give me an identical car to the original Triple-D car.
What it's gonna offer us is two things.
One, it gives us the opportunity to have one of the Camaros
on the road all the time
doing Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,
which is a non-stop job.
Hey, guys.
And the other thing is...
it's one of my favorite cars and I never get to drive it.
So now having the mirrored car that can be available
whenever I want to drive it is gonna be great.
[Guy] How are you?
These things are crazy fast.
They've got close to 700 horsepower
and they really get after it
So I'm hoping Guy is really gonna be jacked up about this deal.
-[alarm bleeping] -Whoo!
They told me some of the recipe,
but until you actually taste the dish
or see the dish, it's just a bunch of hype.
You ready for this?
[Dustin] I honestly don't even know what the date is.
It's like I've lost track of days, weeks...
It's D-Day. That's what it is.
[Dustin] There you go. Triple-D Day.
Triple... Okay.
This is something we've been waiting for a long time.
I've invited a bunch of our friends and family,
a bunch of hot rod friends.
We thought it'd be nice.
We had Chef Ceasar come dow with the pizza trailer
and making pizza and serving everybody something to eat.
Okay, I have a barbecue pizza ready to go now.
Thank you.
-Are they done? -They're done.
That didn't sound very confident.
-[laughs] -Are they done or are they not done?
-They're done. -Oh, they're done.
Even my parents are showing up for this.
-This is the big unveiling. -[Rory] Nice.
-[Guy] I feel like this is Christmas. -[man] Yeah.
-[Dustin] The family event. -This is Christmas birthday.
This is all the anniversary.
There's all these things coming together.
I mean, this is my baby.
This is the car that is, you know,
been the cornerstone to Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives
-Your co-host. -Everybody-- it is.
Thank you, guys. All right, go grab 'em.
-Let's see this. -All right, all right.
[engine revving]
Can you hear it?
Dude.
[laughs]
-Which one's the original? -I don't know.
So that's gonna be the big question.
Look at that.
[crowd cheering and applauds]
-[Rory] Let's pop the hood. -[Guy] Yeah.
[Dustin] All kinds of little details,
everything's super clean, all the wiring's hidden.
You know, all the fuel lines, brake lines...
It looks as simplistic and as well-done as it--
Because the '68 Camaro didn't have a lot going on,
maybe some vacuum hoses and this and that.
But it's so simplistic.
I mean, even down to the battery...
You guys are insane.
[Guy] I mean, it really is unbelievable.
I mean, you look at it and it looks...
-Oh, look at the LT4. -[Dustin] How do you like it?
[Guy] I'm-- I'm kind of-- I'm, I'm not kind of speechless.
-I am speechless. -That's good.
That's what we were going for.
[Guy] I mean, the body work's amazing.
The attention to detail, the way the tire sits in the wheel well,
the way the motor tucks under the hood.
[Dustin] Can you guys figure it our or not?
-Can you figure out which one's which? -No, I can't figure it out.
These things are insane.
-They're like, identical. -Let's take a closer look then, yeah?
Here is what we got, every single thing possible.
[woman] Every little thing.
God, those are amazing.
Out of bounds. Off the hook.
-[Dustin] Thank you. -Way over the top.
I can't wait to hear 'em.
[engine starting]
[engine roaring]
This sound so sick.
Everybody, here's what I'd like to do.
Please come and take a look.
Make your vote. Is it car A or car B that was the original Triple-D car?
Because I don't think I can tell.
Everyone here is gonna vote.
Which one's the original?
I'm really excited about tha
because I love the little details.
I love all the little small stuff
and there's a lot of secret that we put in there
that'll throw people off.
[man] I don't know.
[Dustin] I'm really curious to see who's gonna get it,
and I feel like it's just gonna be a lucky guess.
I feel the same way.
[Hunter] I really don't know.
There is no way.
Oh, I'm tripping.
When they're both side by side,
you can't tell them apart.
Okay, let's find out the original.
Where's my kids?
Where's Hunter and Ryder, which is the original Triple-D car?
One finger is A, two fingers is B, okay?
You're gonna put them behind your back.
Three, two, one.
Wow.
The audience thinks that 11 people pick A.
23 pick B.
-[Hunter] Wow, wow. -Wow.
[Ryder] Yikes.
[Rory] And you guys all picked A?
-Yeah. -We all picked A.
[Guy] Can we get a drum roll, please? Mr. Rory,
which is the original Triple-D car?
-It's B. -[crowd cheering]
[Guy] It's B.
No...
-[man 1] Come on. -[man 2] Yeah.
Oh, great job.
All right, everybody. Thank you very much.
Pizza and lunch being served
You guys, great job.
-Let's go for a ride. -[engine starting]
[engine revving]
There's not gonna be any more rolling out
of Triple-D, it's gonna be burning out.
[engine roaring]
[Guy] With two Camaros to take me,
Flavortown just got a whole lot bigger.
Mmm. Mmm.
Get your hand out of there.
-Thank you. -Fantastic!
Oh! Oh, my gosh that's good.
[engine revving]
[Guy exclaims]
[Hunter laughs] Hell, yeah.
[Guy laughs]
