5.1 Not sure why the gap, but anyway, he rocked up in Long Island, to try the chicken parm pizza (no dough, basically a big flat piece of chicken), a brisket knish panini (w/gouda & onions), before the Kitchen Sink challenge being 5.5 lbs of ice cream, toppings, bananas, cherries and a waffle. Even with one hour, the 99% fail rate was too ominous, and usage of hot water didn't help him from losing.

5.2 Billed as the Delaware beaches, but two from Bethany Beach and one from Rehoboth Beach. First, a "joint" which uses frozen custard instead of ice cream, then a dish combining buffalo wings with mac & cheese and an IPA. Finally, a 3.5 lb challenge of crab cakes, fries and a spare rib, which nobody has ever managed in the 30 minute time limit - until this day when he becomes the first.

5.3 Still on the Eastern side, he was in Richmond to try a pork chili verde burger, then a version of Eggs Benedict that used latkes, before taking the Ladder challenge, which involved three burgers, fries, chips and tots, all in 15 minutes, though 90% fail and so did he.
