Bobby Flay gives his culinary assistants from Throwdown a day off to go head-to-head for a grilled sandwich showdown. Stephanie Banyas builds a colossal Pittsburgh Cheesesteak, an homage to a hometown favorite, while Miriam puts together a Greek-inspired Grilled Patty Melt with Kasseri Cheese and Muhammara. On Bobby's menu is a Grilled Eggplant and Mozzarella on Ciabatta with Warmed Potato Chips dipped in a homemade Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce. And for dessert, the showdown continues with two tasty versions of a campfire classic -- S'mores!
Big Daddy dedicates this menu to his mentors and the dishes that started it all!

Aaron even shows his brother, Donovan, a few tricks of the trade when they work side by side in the kitchen and try recreating Big Mamma's Sweet Potato Pie. This is one meal Aaron?s mentors are sure to be proud of!
We're honoring the all-time favorite sandwiches in the Sandwich Hall of Fame because it's all about the bread and what's in between! If you've never had a BL"G"T, Eddie Jackson will tell you where to go. Fanny Slater hasn't missed a week without her "Friday Special," and Katie Lee heads to a small shop in New York to get the best Italian hoagie she's ever eaten.

Young squire Noah Cappe tries his hand at making the King's Court Conch Fritters, decadent Deep Fried Peanut Butter and Jelly Brownie Bites, a picquant Fried Green Tomato BLT and the Cookies and Cream Sandwich. Biding adieu to his new friends, Noah heads west to Mercedes, Texas where the rough and ready cowboys and girls at the Livestock Show rustle up some western grub like Deep Fried Cheesesteak, Outlaw Fries and the enormous Suicide Taco that's so huge you need two plates and four hands to hold it.
Michael Symon heads to Charleston, S.C., where he smokes a whole hog on a supersized indoor smoke pit and devours a slow-smoked rib-eye steak sandwich complete with melted cheddar and caramelized onions. Then, in Houston, Texas, he tries a double beef patty burger that gets the royal treatment with two bacon grilled cheese sandwiches for buns. And finally, in Phoenix, Michael finds that a coffee-braised beef taco with mango relish and a duck taco with fried brie and fire-roasted apricot compote are the perfect pairing with a crisp and refreshing local brew.
