Guy then heads to Chicago, Illinois to visit Jim's Original, a hot dog stand that has been in the same family for over 75 years.

Along with the hot dogs, Guy tries their Italian beef sandwich, which is smothered in peppers and gravy.

Finally, Guy travels to Columbus, Ohio to visit Schmidt's Sausage Haus, a German restaurant that has been around for over 130 years. Guy meets the current owner, who is a fourth-generation family member, and tries some of their classic German dishes, including the sausage sampler platter, sauerkraut, and potato salad. To top off the meal, Guy tries their famous cream puff, which is filled with vanilla cream and topped with chocolate sauce.

Throughout the episode, Guy celebrates the diverse and delicious family legacies that have been passed down through generations.
