This Guy Fieri-approved restaurant has been voted New York’s best

When it comes to the category of the best restaurants in the United States, few are more accomplished than Guy Fieri.

The Food Network’s larger-than-life chef has hosted the half-hour TV series Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives for a whopping 42 seasons, during which he’s traveled the country to sample some of the best eats in each of the 50 states.

With such an extensive culinary resume, it’s almost impossible to keep track of all the restaurants Fieri has visited. A website not only did that, but also identified the best Restaurant in every state from all of Fieri’s favorites.

Mashed also shared that the restaurant has won a number of awards for its culinary creations. They’ve won awards for the best donuts and cookies in New York, as well as some of the best apple pie and fried chicken in the country.
