The episode is titled "And The Kicker Is...." and features a variety of restaurants that specialize in adding their own unique twist to classic menu items.

The first stop on Guy's journey is a diner in Nevada that's been serving up classic American fare since 1957. Despite its age, the restaurant has managed to stay relevant by adding their own unique twist to classic dishes. Guy tries their famous ham and egg sandwich, which comes topped with a spicy jalapeño jelly that gives it an extra kick.

Next, Guy heads to a barbecue joint in Minneapolis that's known for its mouth-watering slow-smoked meats. The restaurant prides itself on using traditional pit-smoking techniques to give their meats a smoky flavor that can't be beat. Guy tries their famous burnt ends, which come smothered in a spicy BBQ sauce that packs a punch.

After that, Guy heads to a New Mexico eatery that's been serving up authentic Mexican cuisine for over 70 years. The restaurant is famous for its green chili, a spicy sauce made from roasted green chilis that's a staple in New Mexican cuisine. Guy tries it on everything from tacos to enchiladas, and declares it his new favorite condiment.

Next, Guy visits a pizza joint in California that's known for pushing the boundaries of traditional pizza toppings. The restaurant is famous for its "carne asada pizza," a pie that comes topped with grilled steak and fresh cilantro. The pizza is finished with a dollop of spicy salsa that makes it impossible to resist.

Finally, Guy heads to a Louisiana restaurant that's famous for its Cajun-style seafood. The restaurant is located right on the bayou, and sources its seafood fresh daily. Guy tries the crawfish etouffee, a spicy and flavorful dish that's a staple of Cajun cuisine.

Throughout the episode, Guy is on the hunt for dishes that pack a punch. Whether it's a spicy jalapeño jelly or a tangy green chili sauce, these restaurants are all about adding a little extra flavor to their dishes.
