In fact, it was the restaurant&#8217;s first appearance on the show, back in 2011, that catapulted what was then a small mom-and-pop called Chef Point Cafe, located in a gas station in Watauga, that was instrumental to the restaurant&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>According to a release from the Food Network, the show is called &#8220;Triple D Nation: Pickin\u2019 Up Flavor,&#8221; and represents a trio of revisits to restaurants that Fieri has visited in the past.<\/p>\n<p>The episode is described as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This trip, Guy Fieri&#8217;s pickin&#8217; up where he left off at some Flavortown hot spots!

Then, a Boston pizza joint now has two locations slingin&#8217; their signature pies and more, like the mac cheesy pizza and a toothsome turkey sub. <strong>And in Colleyville, Texas, African-inspired cuisine is goin&#8217; strong with out-of-bounds oxtails and their sexy fried chicken<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Food Network does not reveal the names of the restaurants that appear on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives in advance.
