Next, Fieri heads to a classic diner in Salt Lake City, Utah that serves up a mix of land and sea fare. He samples the seafood chowder, which features clams, shrimp, and salmon, as well as the steak and eggs breakfast plate. The restaurant's owner takes Fieri on a tour of the kitchen, showing off the smoker where they cook up their delicious pulled pork.

Fieri then heads to a Cajun joint in Fort Collins, Colorado, where he tries out classic Creole dishes like jambalaya and gumbo. The restaurant's signature dish is its crawfish etouffee, which features tender crawfish tails smothered in a rich, savory sauce. Fieri also checks out their unique spin on chef's salad, which features a fried alligator tail on top.

In Austin, Texas, Fieri visits a family-owned restaurant that specializes in BBQ and Tex-Mex cuisine. He tries out their famous "Frito pie," which features a bed of Fritos topped with brisket, baked beans, and melted cheese. The owner also takes Fieri on a tour of the smokehouse, where they smoke their meats for up to 18 hours.

Finally, Fieri heads to a seafood shack in Gresham, Oregon, where he samples some of their unique seafood concoctions. He tries out their fried seafood platter, which includes fish, oysters, and shrimp, as well as their famous "crabwich" sandwich. The restaurant's owner also takes Fieri out on his boat to catch some of the crab used in their dishes.

Throughout the episode, Fieri showcases the creativity and expertise of these chefs as they combine land and sea ingredients in their dishes. From classic Cajun cuisine to fusion Tex-Mex BBQ, each restaurant offers a unique and delicious take on surf and turf.
