Adam Richman's most important meal of the day is a long-forgotten Domino's delicacy from 1985, delivered fresh with a wake-up call, coffee and a newspaper; he visits the first mall location of food court staple Auntie Anne's pretzels.

Adam is in search of candy that could only have been created in the '80s; he tracks down the inventor of Big League Chew to sample the never-released first test flavor; he visits a collector with over 20,000 pieces of candy.

In the '80s, everything happens at the mall; Adam discovers the very first location of Panda Express, learns the secret to Cinnabon's famous cinnamon, and takes one of the most successful kitchen appliances of the decade for a test drive.

Adam visits Roy Rogers to sample some of their long lost recipes; he enlists the help of a top food lab to put a french fry theory to the test once and for all; he digs up some packaging history from one of the biggest burger chains ever.

Adam visits Pizza Hut and uncovers its notorious double-decker Priazzo and an Italian turnover designed to be made in five minutes or less; he re-creates some magic cookies, originally made by elves.
