3 Angels Diner (Memphis, Tenn.); Opal Thai Food (Hale'iwa, Oahu, Hawaii); Anthonino's Taverna (St. Louis, Mo.).

This trip, Guy's headed to places where families rule. In Memphis, the kid-inspired joint serving up serious fried chicken. On the North Shore of Oahu, the Thai spot where mom and pop spice up the island with pad Thai, pork larb, and their big seller: garlic fried chicken wings. And on The Hill in St. Louis, the Italian-Greek joint run by two brothers, serving up a town staple in fried ravioli and mom's recipe for dolmathes.
