Richie Farina hits the road to Southern California where he may have met his match at the San Bernardino County Fair. Jessica and Daniel Lopez of Orale Taco Grille created a Deep-Fried Quesadilla they call the "Queso Loco" and it's the food sensation of the fair. Now, Richie only has 24 hours to come up with his own version of their crazy concoction before battling it out in a head-to-head cook-off judged by fairgoers.

Richie Farina has found a dessert titan near the San Francisco Bay! Matt Holguin of Fabe's Churros and Gelato has taken over the Alameda County Fair with his Bacon Caramel Gelato Milkshake and now Richie has just 24 hours to come up with his own spin on that refreshing concoction. He'll then face a head-to-head cook-off where actual fairgoers will determine whose dessert is the best.

Richie Farina has found an over-the-top burger battle at the Sacramento County Fair in Northern California!

Richie now has just 24 hours to make his own version of their burger before going to a competition judged by fairgoers.

Chef Richie Farina hits the Alameda County Fair near the San Francisco Bay for a cutting-edge culinary competition.

Once he's perfected his own version, Richie will go head-to-head with the "Captain" to see whose food the fairgoers love the most.
