Man Finds Food Season 1 Episode 2 Chi-Town Franken-Sandwich

In the second episode of Man Finds Food season 1, host Adam Richman travels to Chicago, also known as "Chi-Town," in search of the ultimate sandwich. This isn't just any sandwich, but rather the "Franken-sandwich," a monstrous creation made up of various meats and other ingredients.

Richman starts his search at a local deli that has been serving up sandwiches for over 50 years. Here, he tries the "Atomic Bomb," a sandwich filled with pastrami, corned beef, roast beef, and Swiss cheese. However, this sandwich isn't quite what Richman is looking for in terms of the true "Franken-sandwich."

Next, Richman heads to a restaurant called Johnny's, which claims to have invented the "Franken-sandwich" over 20 years ago. This sandwich is filled with Italian beef, gyro meat, corned beef, pastrami, and hot peppers, all served on a French roll. Richman is impressed with the size and flavor of the sandwich, but still feels there's something missing.

Continuing his quest, Richman stops at another deli that claims to have the true "Franken-sandwich." Here, he tries a sandwich made with giardiniera (a pickled vegetable mix), corned beef, pastrami, ham, salami, and provolone cheese. While Richman enjoys the sandwich, he still doesn't think it quite meets the criteria for the ultimate "Franken-sandwich."

Finally, Richman heads to a sandwich shop that has a reputation for being one of the best in Chicago. Here, he tries the "All-In-One," a sandwich filled with gyro meat, Italian beef, corned beef, pastrami, and hot peppers, all served on a pretzel roll. Richman is blown away by the flavor and size of the sandwich, and declares it to be the ultimate "Franken-sandwich."

Throughout the episode, Richman also indulges in other Chicago favorites such as deep dish pizza, Chicago-style hot dogs, and Italian beef sandwiches. He also explores the city's culture and history, making stops at places such as Al Capone's old hangout and the birthplace of the electric guitar.

Overall, the Chi-Town Franken-Sandwich episode of Man Finds Food season 1 is a mouth-watering journey through the Windy City's culinary scene. Richman's search for the ultimate sandwich will leave viewers hungry and eager to explore all that Chicago has to offer.
