Joel Gamoran visits the Pacific Coast to team up with Brooke Williamson. They set out to reinvent the iconic Southern Cal fish taco using ingredients usually tossed in the trash, and convince L.A. natives to permanently join the Scraps movement.
Joel arrives in Chicago, Illinois, and meets up with Beverly Kim to create a dinner menu featuring ingredients that usually wind up in the trash. The chefs' mission to find scraps sends them all over town, from a steak processing facility to a northside Polish deli. Joel and Beverly then give a scrappy makeover to classic recipes that have been featured in restaurants across the country for more than hundred years.
Joel is back in the Bay Area where he honed his culinary chops and learned to respect ingredients as a rookie chef, teaming up with Andy Baraghani.

After scouring the Bay Area for the most imperfect produce they can find, Joel and Andy attempt to transform the rejected fruits and veggies into a gourmet meal.
Joel invites a bunch of friends to a Thanksgiving weekend in Vermont, where they will show how to cook for the entire weekend once the fridge is packed with leftovers, and how to avoid any food waste from hitting the trash.

Joel strums his way into to Music City U.S.A--Nashville, Tennessee--and teams up with recent James Beard Best Chef Southwest winner, Tandy Wilson, to create a menu with food usually tossed in the trash. Our chefs venture outside the city to the lush pastures and rolling hills of the nearby farmland to try their hands as a chicken farmers, and source some slimy chicken hearts, livers, and gizzards--ingredients most home cooks throw away. With giblets in hand, Joel and Tandy tread on Southern holy ground--retooling the legendary Meat & Three in a scrappy way. Can they win over the heart and soul of Nashville--up-and-coming musicians--and get Music City to sing a different tune about food waste?
Joel gallops into the Derby City--Louisville, Kentucky--and pairs up with three-time James Beard semi-finalist, Anthony Lamas, to create a menu with food usually tossed in the trash. Their search for scrappy ingredients takes them to a watermelon farm to learn the untold secrets of melon harvesting, and behind the counter in a classic ice cream scoop shop. With rinds and peels in hand, Joel and Anthony create a new version of southern BBQ. But can they convince the most sophisticated and discriminating taste buds in the Bluegrass State--local bourbon experts and sommeliers--that their scrappy dinner is the winning bet?
