Pizzeria Baci
Dave rolls into Pizzeria Baci in Montrose and walks out with an 8.1. The crust is so crispy he nearly hurts himself, and the owner's story might beat the pie. Now I'm hungry!

Black's Barbecue
Bad Beast Barbecue headed to Lockhart, Texas, to check out the legendary Black's Barbecue. They sampled brisket, ribs, and sausage to see if the hype was real. Now I'm hungry!
Solar Slice Pizza
Dave hits Solar Slice Pizza in Marietta, GA, and gets a thin, crispy slice with sweet sauce and heavy oregano. He tries The Portnoy, a cheese pie named after him, and scores the shop a 7.9 out of 10. Now I'm hungry!
Dave's Diner
John says Dave's Diner is 'above average' and hands it a 7 and a half, mostly for the retro 50s vibe and speedy service. Dirty menus and board-hard seats aside, the biscuits and gravy won him over. Now I'm hungry!
Babbo
James finally gets to Babbo and the new version delivers. The Beef Cheek Ravioli is his dish of the night, the Blueberry Budino scores a 10 out of 10, and the bill lands at one cent. Now I'm hungry!
Giordano's
Jessica digs into Giordano's new tavern-style, traditional thin, and deep dish with owner Ryan. The tavern is thin and crispy, the deep dish takes 40 to 45 minutes, and the Save and Wait deal gets you $5 off two pizzas. Now I'm hungry!
Red's Hot Chicken
David says Red's is his favorite hot chicken in Nashville, a notch or two above Hattie B's. He went medium with a low spice tolerance and it still had a nice kick. Now I'm hungry.
Luigi's Pizza
UA drove from Jersey chasing the slice everyone calls the best in NYC, and the grandma slice almost delivered. The cheese slice? Welded cheese, cracker crust, no thanks. Still, $3.50 a slice is hard to argue with.
Ceres
James lines up 25 minutes before Ceres even opens, book in hand, and yeah, it's worth it. That $40 cheese pie is huge, gorgeous and seriously tasty, but the crust hogs way too much real estate. He'd still go back tomorrow.
Goldee's
Babish rolls into Goldee's before the doors open and calls the brisket the best he's ever had. The pork belly is basically a condiment, and that bananaless banana pudding is a prank he fully fell for. No line, no wait, all meat.
Franklin Barbecue
Tulio rolled up at 6:30am, waited over four hours, and says Franklin's brisket is still the best barbecue of his life. The jalapeno cheddar sausage and that dinosaur-sized beef rib are right behind it. Worth the line.
Pizz'amici
Sean and Corey grab a pepperoni and sausage tavern-style pizza at Pizz'amici. Sean loves it, Corey says the crust is not his thing but still ranks it second best. They throw out 94% and 83%. Now I want a cold middle slice.
Rao's
James finally lands the hardest reservation in NYC and it totally lives up to the hype. Baseball-sized meatballs, a party atmosphere, and a $600 bill he barely blinks at. Now I'm hungry!
Nuovo York Pizza
Dave's a cheese guy, so the spinach-mushroom white slice was never happening for him. The plain slice gets a 7.6, and one of the MDFoodieBoyz throws out an 8.1 that Dave calls crazy town. Football pizza, apparently.
Cuts & Slices
James hits Cuts & Slices on the Lower East Side and drops $35.36 on oxtail and lobster slices. The sweet chili oxtail blew him away, but the music was club-level loud. Expensive? He says no, just pricey.
Art's Cafe
Nicole hits Art's Cafe, a tiny family-run diner with a Korean twist. The bulgogi hash brown sandwich sounds unreal: crispy, juicy, cheesy, and she says it might be one of the juiciest breakfasts ever. Now I'm hungry!
Orphan Andy's
Nicole steps into Orphan Andy's, a proper old-school San Francisco diner that has been around 47 years. She gets the chicken fried steak and the two-two-and-two, and the sourdough French toast sounds dangerously easy to eat. I could have ten.
Carbone
Kristin and Will checked out Carbone to see if it was worth the hype. They loved the vibe and the service, but the prices were definitely a shock. Now I'm hungry!
Tatiana
James queued an hour in the cold for one of six walk-in bar seats, and yeah, it was worth it. The hardest reservation in NYC actually lives up to the hype. His wallet, though? Not so much.
A Slice of New York
Dave rolls into A Slice of New York in Murrysville, and the owner is sweating because a six means shutdown. Dave takes one bite and lands a 8.2. He may cry, but happy tears.
