Guy Fieri's 'Triple D' episode featuring Evelyn's to debut. Find out when you can watch.
TIVERTON - This past fall, Food Network crews craving a seafood feast were back in Tiverton.
Now, celebrity host and restaurateur Guy Fieri's latest stop at Evelyn's Drive In will make its small screen debut next week.
The Mayor of Flavortown first journeyed to the Tiverton seafood spot over 15 years ago, spotlighting Evelyn's in a Season 2 episode of his popular TV series "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."
Fare at the waterfront summer destination was deemed so memorable, it warranted the Food Network star's return visit this past September for his spinoff series "Triple D Nation," in which Fieri circles back to some of his favorite restaurants previously featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."

Fieri and his crew filmed the upcoming Evelyn's segment Sept. 15 during a mini tour of Rhode Island, which also included stops at Crazy Burger Cafe & Juice Bar in Narragansett and Italian Corner in East Providence.
That footage will be included in Season 5, Episode 12 of "Triple D Nation" titled "From Steak to Seafood," slated to air Friday, Feb. 9, at 9 p.m. on the Food Network.
"We are humbled to be in front of the cameras, once again, showcasing our hollywood-worthy menu!! Cheers to our best year yet!" read a post Monday on Evelyn's Facebook page announcing the episode's premiere date.
Fieri's Ocean State faves won't all be highlighted in the same episode, however.
According to the "Triple D" description, "Guy Fieri's having a turf-and-surf soiree" on the show Feb. 9, hitting places down through Florida and Tennessee.
"First, a Brazilian-American fusion place in Orlando, Fla., is serving traditional shrimp stew and savory steak. Then, a soul-food spot in Memphis, Tenn., is dishing out a fierce fried sandwich," the website reads.
And last but not least, Evelyn's will be "bringing some killer flavor to next-level seafood platters and chowders."

The "Triple D" website includes links to recipes featured in this episode, among them Evelyn's Two-Pound Seafood Platter and Buddha's Chocolate, a milk chocolate almond toffee made in house.
According to owners Jane Bitto and her husband, Domenic, who were present for the 10-hour day of filming along with a group of a dozen customers, some other Evelyn's classics that took center stage were lobster BLT, sea scallops, chowder and clam cakes.
