In this episode of Meat & Potatoes Rahm Fama is up early, searching the country for delicious meats for breakfast. His first stop is Elizabeth's in New Orleans, a Big Easy breakfast institution where there's no better way to recover from an all night party, than indulging in local favorites like praline bacon or pork loin smothered with homemade sausage gravy. Then it's on to Miami where our host digs into meaty pork Dim Sum, a Chinese breakfast tradition popular in that city. Finally, Rahm touches down on the west coast where savory brisket hash and maple bacon biscuits keep diners at Santa Monica's Huckleberry Café and Bakery lining up every morning.
The chefs hope that their breakfast sausage appetizer will awaken the judges' senses. And as he explains why he loves to cook, one competitor breaks down. Then in the second round, a frozen dessert puts a chill in the chefs' plans to create delicious fish entrees. And the finalists must make sweet fruit work with sour beer in their desserts.
Bobby Flay's grill guest Andrea Scala loves the Mexican flair for brunch in her new hometown San Diego, California.

Bobby gets his egg inspiration from further south, grilling up a full Argentine breakfast with chimichurri, garlic toast, sausage and even dessert.
