Minnesota restaurants often appear on Food Network shows, and you might recognize places like Matt's Bar or Pizza Luce. However, Guy Fieri recently visited one restaurant that I hadn’t heard of before, but I'm excited to try.

Guy Fieri is a well-known host on the Food Network, famous for shows like Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and Guy's Grocery Games, and he’s been to Minnesota several times. During his latest visit in August, he filmed an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, which will air later this week.

StepChld's chef and owner Kamal Mohamed joins Fieri in the kitchen to showcase dishes like Sinful Bone Marrow and Lavender Nori Shrimp in the episode that airs on Friday, October 18.

This trip, Guy Fieri's grabbing burgers, marrow and big-deal Bangladeshi eats! First, an East Boston whisky joint is taking pub grub to the next level with a smokin' smash burger and prime-time pesto mozzarella sammie. Then, a Minneapolis spot is servin' up Ethiopian-inspired creative plates like flavor-bursting bone marrow and lip-smacking lavender nori shrimp. And in Columbus, Ohio, a Top Chef and GGG alumnus is dishing out the-bomb Bengali-American fare with spice-forward fried rice and chicken, plus legit lamb on craveable crunch bread.

 

You can catch the StepChld episode on October 18 at 8 p.m. on the Food Network, with a rerun on October 19 at 11 a.m.
