In Chicago, the new Italian restaurant Mano a Mano has received positive early reviews for its inviting atmosphere and standout dishes like Focaccia di Recco and zucchini flowers, though some pasta dishes were hit or miss. Meanwhile, Tommy's Diner in Columbus, a local staple, will be featured on Guy Fieri's 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,' celebrating its 25-year legacy. Josiah Citrin's Mélisse in Santa Monica continues to be a beacon of California-French fine dining, showcasing local produce and a unique culinary style for its 25th anniversary. Additionally, San Antonio's Fat Tummy Empanadas was revisited by Fieri for its Argentinian fare, including choripan sandwiches and alfajores. Finally, Petra, a Central California restaurant known for its tri-tip shawarma and pizza, also garnered Fieri's attention for its unique fusion of Mediterranean and American cuisine.
