In Portland, Guy gets a taste of traditional German food at a restaurant that's been run by the same family for over 50 years. He tries a bratwurst sandwich that's piled with sauerkraut, onions, and mustard, as well as a side of savory spaetzle.
Finally, Guy heads to a restaurant in Tucson that serves up authentic Mexican food. He tries a chimichanga that's deep-fried to perfection, as well as a spicy green chile stew that packs a serious punch. Guy washes it all down with a pineapple and habanero margarita that's both sweet and spicy.
