Nico visits Chengdu for a day focused on noodles, which the description says lasts 24 hours. He starts with breakfast noodles recommended by a friend, including a spicy bowl that he tries at 10 a.m. He then visits a popular noodle shop that had sold out on earlier visits. He says the shop sells noodles by weight and serves small bowls that make it easier to sample several styles. The hosts try dan dan noodles with pickles, a pork-and-bean-sauce noodle dish, sweet water noodles with sweetened soy sauce, and cold noodles with garlic and chili. For dinner, they visit a restaurant serving a rare local style with wide, blanket-like noodle sheets in broth, with beef and chicken giblets. The hosts discuss the dishes' spice, numbing pepper, sauces and textures, and invite viewers to suggest other noodles to try.
