El Tepeyac Cafe

Mexican restaurant · Boyle Heights

Adam can't be in Los Angeles without sampling some of the country's best Mexican food. At El Tepeyac, he'll attempt to stomach the five-pound Manuel's Special, designed to feed two to four people.

Henry's World Famous Hi-Life

Steak house · Little Italy

Adam visits the historic San Jose landmark for the beloved finger-licking baby back ribs.

Philippe The Original

Sandwich shop · Chinatown

Adam digs into the signature French dipped sandwich, which Philippe's is said to have created during a very happy culinary accident.

Iguanas- Home of the Burritozilla

Permanently Closed

Adam stops in to attack the Burritozilla -- a monster 17-inch burrito weighing in at 5 pounds.

SmokeEaters

Permanently Closed

Adam braves the Hellfire Challenge -- a dozen wings drenched in a sauce so lethal, it isn’t even on the menu.

Zankou Chicken

Armenian restaurant · East Hollywood

So Amazing. Middle Eastern fare: the chicken shawarma platter is just perfect. Get extra garlic sauce and extra meat. Perfectly made pita, hummus and tahini. Flavorful, moist roasted chicken straight from the rotisserie.

Orochon Ramen

Ramen restaurant · Historic Core

Adam stops in for Los Angeles' most authentic Japanese fare, and faces the Spicy Ramen challenge.

Mayflower Seafood Restaurant

Seafood restaurant · North San Jose

Hidden at the back of the Milpitas Mall, delicious dim sum served from carts and times finished up right at your table. Gets crowded, so come early -- and hungry. Get the banana-leaf-wrapped chicken and any of the har gow and fried dumplings.
