Ep 5. Extreme

Man's Greatest Food is a television show that features the best dishes from all over the United States. The show is hosted by Roger Mooking, who takes viewers on a culinary journey to try some of the most delicious and unique dishes that each state has to offer. In season 3, episode 5, titled "Extreme", the focus is on the most extreme dishes in America.

Roger Mooking begins his journey by traveling to Missouri to try a dish called the "Big Fat Fatty". This dish consists of a sausage that is wrapped in bacon, covered in chili, and topped with cheese sauce. This dish is not for the faint of heart, as it is incredibly rich and decadent. Roger tries the Big Fat Fatty at a local diner and is blown away by the intense flavors. He even calls the dish "outrageous" and "ridiculous".

Next, Roger heads to Las Vegas to try a dish that is even more extreme: a 24-layer chocolate cake. This cake is made with layers of chocolate ganache, fudge, and brownies. It is so tall that it requires a special device to cut it. Roger visits a famous bakery in Las Vegas to try the cake and is amazed by its sheer size and decadence. He says that it is "one of the most extreme desserts" he has ever had.

The next stop on Roger's journey takes him to New York City to try a dish that is both extreme and terrifying: a ghost pepper burger. Ghost peppers are one of the hottest peppers in the world, and this burger is made with a patty that is infused with ghost pepper paste. Roger visits a local restaurant to try the burger and is challenged to finish it without any milk or water. The ghost pepper burger proves to be too spicy for Roger, and he ends up needing to cool off with a glass of milk.

In California, Roger tries a dish that is more extreme in its presentation than its flavors: the seafood tower. This dish consists of a tower of seafood, including oysters, clams, shrimp, and lobster. Roger visits a famous restaurant to try the seafood tower and is impressed by its grandeur. He says that it is "one of the most visually stunning dishes" he has ever seen.

Finally, Roger travels to Louisiana to try a dish that is extreme in its preparation: alligator sausage. Alligator sausage is made by grinding alligator meat and then stuffing it into a casing. Roger visits a local butcher shop to see how alligator sausage is made and is fascinated by the process. He then visits a local restaurant to try the alligator sausage and is impressed by its smoky and spicy flavors.

Overall, season 3 episode 5 of Man's Greatest Food is a celebration of extreme dishes from all over the United States. From the Big Fat Fatty in Missouri to the ghost pepper burger in New York City, these dishes are not for the faint of heart. However, for those who love bold and intense flavors, this episode is sure to satisfy.
