Tom Pizzica visits B and B Grocery in Des Moines for their "killossal sandwich" that includes a pile of deli meat, a huge pork tenderloin, and a quad burger stack; Taste of A Gyro in Sonoma, CA, where traditional gyros are served up not with tzatziki, but with mind-blowing homemade hot sauce; and The Sticky Pig in southern California for all kinds of candy made with bacon.
Michael Symon heads to Providence, where a traditional Rhode Island hot wiener in a crepe topped with chili is the ultimate local comfort food. In Indianapolis, a steak patty topped with Chinese char siu slaw and nestled inside a soft steamed bao bun is a delicious burger fusion. Finally, a smokehouse in Columbus, Ohio, serves their cold-smoked baby back ribs on a bed of flaming hay for total smoke saturation, and their 18-ounce bacon steak is pork belly perfection.
