Chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torissi want a classic Italian Sausage for their new restaurant Parm. Pat Jr. is thrilled for the chance to re-create his grandfather's sausage recipe, which they haven't made in years. The only problem? There's no written recipe! Meanwhile, the family business is growing and it's time to hire a new butcher, so Pat Jr. and Pat Sr. put the candidates to the test. Later, Pat Sr. takes on City Hall over the shop's costly parking tickets.
Chef Franklin Becker from Abe and Arthur's runs out of Porterhouse steaks in the middle of service and calls Pat Jr. with a meat emergency. It's a big order on any night but even harder to fill with dull knives. On top of that, Chef Alex Guarnaschelli calls in a last-minute order for 60 Tomahawk steaks. 80,000 pounds of meat needs to go out the doors tonight and the butchers have no knives. This is Pat Jr.'s worst nightmare!
