Valley's Hush Public House and The Fry Bread House to Star in Guy Fieri's 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives'Source: Knife and Fork Media Group

Two more establishments from the Valley are about to savor their share of the national spotlight, thanks to the Food Network's Guy Fieri and his hit series 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.' Slated to grace television screens this February in the show's 38th season, Hush Public House and The Fry Bread House, both Arizona locals, are set to show off their culinary chops amidst the flurry of flavor profiles that Fieri is known for spotlighting. ABC15 reports that viewers can expect to see The Fry Bread House on an episode titled "Flavor World" airing February 16, with Hush Public House following suit in the episode "Bird, Belly and Beef" on February 23.

These Arizona eateries join the ranks of numerous others from the state that have been previously featured by Fieri, who's no stranger to exploring the diverse restaurant landscape on a quest for standout dishes inherently deserving of the 'Triple D' treatment. His palate has traversed well beyond the bounds of the Valley, taking him to the neon-lit oasis of Las Vegas, where he has frequented a formidable list of 17 eateries still serving customers to this day, and his show has put Las Vegas's off-strip joints in the spotlight, claiming them to be goldmines for food aficionados seeking pizza, pub fare, barbecue, burgers, and more outside the typical glitzy Strip spots, as per the insights from a report by 8 News Now.

In addition to the traditional culinary delights, Fieri's adventures have also included pit stops that push the culinary envelope, a visit to No Butcher in Las Vegas saw the exploration of a vegan palette; the establishment is a vegan butcher shop that eschews animal products for plant-based twists on deli staples. While over in Arizona, The Fry Bread House at 4545 N. 7th Ave. Phoenix beckons a more conventional bite – a mouthful of history and culture trimmed with scrumptious, buttery fry bread that's rooted in the fabric of Native American cuisine. Hush Public House in Scottsdale at 14202 N. Scottsdale Rd., #167, throws down the gastronomic gauntlet with inventive dishes likely to please the discerning palates of both locals and 'Triple D' viewers alike.

The culinary journey doesn't end with biscuits and barbecue, however, as Fieri has been known to venture into eclectic dining experiences that span the range of both geography and taste, from an encounter with the 'best cheeseburger in Las Vegas' sourced not from a burger joint but according to Yelp, to the steak-stuffed strombolis of Four Kegs Sports Pub, a reminiscence of Fieri's college days as a UNLV student, as highlighted in the long list of Las Vegas eateries visited by Guy Fieri on 'Triple D.' Such excursions off the beaten path serve to remind viewers and eaters alike that the heart of American dining beats as much in the unexpected crevices of flavor towns across the nation as it does amidst the swanky eateries often synonymous with the glitz of the Vegas Strip.
