This week, we get in the car and go on a field trip with the field producers of Diners, Drive-In's and Dives as they scout restaurants for Guy Fieri.
The panel introduces themselves as the unsung field producers for Guy Fieri, responsible for finding the diners, drive-ins, and dives before the cameras roll.
"Today, we take a little field trip to Flavortown."
"This is why we call you Mousey."
Johnny Pastrami reveals he was once a simple 'John Smith' working for Giada De Laurentiis until Guy Fieri rebranded him based on the meat hanging out of his mouth.
Clam Chowder explains his high-stakes role as Guy Fieri's official taster, checking every meal for poison and palatability before the star takes a bite.
"Sometimes poisoned, always palatable, baby."
The crew introduces themselves as the unsung heroes behind Guy Fieri, including Kendra the scheduler, Johnny the transpo lead, and Mousy, the small-stomached assistant who is constantly bullied by the others.
"I started working for Giada and Guy swooped me up and I've been on the road with these motherfuckers ever since."
"How do they let a mouse get a driver's license, huh?"
Clam Chowder explains his role as Guy's official taster, responsible for checking if food is poisoned or palatable while giving small business owners terrifyingly mean looks.
"It's one to check if it's poisoned and two to check if it's palatable."
"Sometimes poisoned, always palatable, baby."
The crew reflects on their worst production decision: filming a celebratory episode in Michigan the day after 9/11, featuring Guy Fieri dedicating a cheeseburger smoothie to the victims.
"It just felt wrong for Guy to be having a cheeseburger smoothie the day after 9/11."
"He did have to dedicate the cheeseburger smoothie to the victims, which was an insult."
The field producers explain why Guy Fieri and Clam Chowder cannot travel in the same vehicle, comparing it to the 'Designated Survivor' protocol for the State of the Union to prevent a total Flavortown collapse.
"Guy and Clam can't travel in the same thing. It's like the Queen and her Prince."
"You keep one guy sit out of every State of the Union address."
The producers immediately turn on Cedric (Mousy), mocking his small stomach and high-pitched voice after he complains about being stuffed from their recent scouting meal.
"This is why we call you Mousey."
"Why? 'Cause I have a small stomach?"
"Yeah, and you talk like that."
Johnny Pastrami reveals his former name was John Smith until Guy Fieri 'swooped' him from Giada and renamed him based on the deli meat hanging out of his mouth.
"I was John Smith at the time."
"I think it was 'cause I had a piece of pastrami hanging out of my mouth."
