July 8 - 14, 2018 WHATS UP! T7 BY ANDREW WARREN TV Media L et's be honest: summer carnivals have a ton of attractions and reasons to spend a day enjoying them. There are thrilling rides, catchy live music, prize-laden games and fun-filled shows at any carnival worth its salt, and they're all very well and good. For some of us, though, they're just the icing on the proverbial cake: the real attraction at a sum- mer carnival is the over-the-top food. "Carnival Kings" is a new se- ries that premieres Thursday, July 12, on Cooking Channel, and it's all about the wild and outra- geous eats that can only be found at a carnival. Similar to "Carnival Eats," another Cook- ing Channel favorite, each epi- sode of the new series follows Michelin-starred chef Richie Fa- rina ("Top Chef") as he visits some of the biggest fairs he can find, where he immediately ze- ros in on the most outrageous food item that he can find. He isn't there just to taste the deca- dent dish, though — he's there to improve on it. It's a format that evokes mem- ories of the defunct Food Net- work series "Throwdown! with Bobby Flay": the super-creative chef Farina challenges carnival chefs on their own turf and tries to make an over-the-top dish somehow even more mouthwa- tering and extreme. In the premiere, the host is at the Pima County Fair in Tucson, Arizona, where he encounters a bacon-wrapped duck slider with flaming hot cheese puffs and caramel apple slaw that's served with a side of bacon fat tater tots. It's decadent, it's wildly deli- cious and oh-so wild, and the host has just 24 hours to break it down, figure out what makes it tick, and then create his own take on it that not only tastes just as good, but that also somehow exceeds its creativity.
