For Globetrottin', Guy Fieri joined the communal long tables at Louis' Basque Corner, a downtown Reno institution serving Basque classics like rabbit stew, poulet basquaise and the restaurant's signature Picon Punch cocktail. Louis' Basque Corner has served Fourth Street since 1967, a tradition rooted in the area's historic Basque-American sheepherding community. Louis' Basque Corner remains open at 301 East 4th Street, according to its own website (louisbasquecorner.com), which describes itself as the home of the world famous Picon Punch. A Yelp listing updated 2026-08 shows more than 600 reviews at the same address, indicating the restaurant is still active despite periodic customer questions online about its hours.
