For the dinner-and-dessert takeout episode, Guy Fieri ordered from Momocho, chef-owner Eric Williams' modern Mexican restaurant in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood, which Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives has visited four times, more than any other Ohio restaurant, according to Tasting Table. The segment revisited Momocho's build-your-own guacamole flights and its machaca, a coffee-and-chile-braised beef brisket. Momocho, which Williams opened in 2006, is known for reworking traditional Mexican dishes with inventive, seasonal presentations.
