The Elegant Farmer (Memphis, Tenn.); Italian Corner (East Providence, R.I.).

This trip, Guy’s checkin’ in on tasty joints run by food fanatics. In Memphis, the chef-slash-farmer’s market guru running a farm-to-table spot serving up a whole lot of classic comfort from meatloaf to sloppy joes to catfish. And in Providence, the real deal family-run Italian deli scratch-making meat tortellini in the dedicated “pasta room” and curing their own bresaola meats.
