    Rocco's Cafe (San Francisco, Calif.) ● The Wienery (Minneapolis, Minn.) ● The Dining Car (Philadelphia, Penn.)

Then it's back to the downtown Minneapolis dive that's added even more Chicago-style staples to their menu, including a hot dog topped with giardiniera. And finally, on to Philly, where an old-school, family-run diner is still offerin' up scrapple, crèpes and apple walnut French toast any hour of the day.
