The hosts of a food show embark on a journey to determine which bacon is the most worth its price. They visit three different restaurants: Chi-Chi's in Palm Springs, Manuela in Los Angeles, and Belly at the Gansevoort Market in New York City. Each restaurant offers a unique bacon experience, ranging from a bacon flight with five different flavors to a multi-course bacon menu. The hosts sample various bacon dishes, including bacon sushi, bacon carpaccio, and carbonara, and discuss their experiences and preferences. Ultimately, they each choose a "worth it" winner, with two hosts selecting Chi-Chi's and Manuela, respectively.
