Secret Super Bowl Snacks Summary

Adam is in New York City for crazy NFL-inspired Super Bowl grub, scoping out everything from a Philadelphia Eagles joint serving off menu cheesesteaks to a Denver Broncos bar with a secret funnel cake dessert, a Cleveland Browns dive with in-the-know tater-tot-nachos, and a Chicago Bears haunt with off the menu Chicago beef sandwiches. Adam's first stop is a Greenwich Village bar known as Wogie's. This joint is known for pairing fans' love for the Eagles with regional Philadelphia food favorites like cheesesteaks and soft pretzels. However, one off-menu game day treat combines them both: the pretzel roll Philly cheesesteak. Co-owner Erin Tedesco shows Adam that to get a great cheesesteak started, all you need is thinly-sliced steak, salt, pepper, and a good sear on the flattop; followed by a double-dose mountain of cheese whiz, griddled onions and peppers.

Down & Dirty in Atlanta Summary

Adam's southern stakeout begins in Southeast Atlanta, an area not usually visited by tourists. In this oft forgotten neighborhood is a hidden gem featuring some of the best BBQ Atlanta has to offer: Daddy D'z BBQ. Daddy D'z owner, Ron Newman, takes Adam through the making of his specialty, the Que Wrap. Ron starts with his legendary pulled pork - a delicacy that has been smoked for 18 hours. Next, he wraps the pulled pork in a wonton wrapper and dips them in the deep fryer until crisp. Once complete, Ron pairs them with his homemade barbecue sauce for dipping and it's time to dig in. Next, Adam heads to Emory Village to visit a taco hotspot frequented by locals and college students alike: Bad Dog Taqueria. Alongside its lineup of Mexican/Asian fusion-style menu items is a secret taco that satisfies every comfort food craving: the Mac Daddy Taco.
