In the season premiere host Adam Richman starts his culinary journey by sampling pork prepared in five different dishes at eateries in five different states. Stops include: Slows Bar-B-Q in Detroit, Michigan for the "Triple Threat Pork", a packed sandwich filled with pulled pork, grilled ham and bacon; Nosh Kitchen Bar in Portland, Maine to try their "Apocalypse Now Burger", 4 bacon cheeseburgers topped with pork belly and foie gras; Iron Barley in St. Louis, Missouri with their oak-roasted pork loin; Tommy DiNic's in Philadelphia for a roast-pork sandwich that rivals the cheesesteak; and The Pit in Raleigh, North Carolina for an authentic "whole-hog" barbecue.
