In season one, Jeff hits Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City and Philadelphia.
Some stops include a hearty Cuban breakfast sandwich at Porto’s Bakery in LA, fresh Chicken Verde Chili from Palookaville’s Chili for lunch in Cleveland , and an authentic Italian Beef Sandwich with Homemade Giardiniera for dinner at Scatchell’s Beef & Pizza in Chicago.
Jeff’s mission to find local, high-quality cuisine on the cheap delivers some fantastic finds.
