Following his pizza feast, Richman heads to Jim-Denny's, a diner that has been serving classic American comfort food since 1934. Richman tries the "Ultimate BLT," a sandwich with eight slices of bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Richman then competes in the "Ultimate Pancake Challenge," where he must eat a huge stack of pancakes topped with eggs, bacon, and sausage in just thirty minutes.

For his final stop, Richman visits the Firestone Public House, a gastropub known for its unique and eclectic menu.
