What book are you currently reading? "Well, I've gotten into audio books. ... This book called 'Red Notice,' which is the story of Bill Browder and the world of high finance ... . What a crazy story, like murder and treason, I mean all of this stuff that unfolds. A very cool story. ... I'm reading that and I'm also reading Tina Fey's 'Bossypants' – and by reading I mean listening to my audio book." What did you have for dinner last night? "Last night, my wife and I made Tunisian freekeh stew. ... You know it's fancy food when you can't even pronounce what you made. But a Tunisian freekeh stew with roasted chick peas in the oven and then a dollop of yogurt on top. It was supertasty. I think we nailed it." What is your next project? "Well, we start filming 'The Bachelor Canada,' which I am the host of ... in just over a month." When was your last vacation, where and why? "We actually did an unbelievable trip over the December holidays to Patagonia, which is a region that runs through Argentina and Chile ... . Really, it's one of the most unbelievable trips I've ever been on. There was one place in particular when I was standing there, I consciously thought to myself, 'This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in real life with my own eyes.' It was just like an amazing trip. Super awesome." Carnival food has long been famous – or infamous – for its three basic food groups: carbs, sugar and fat. But that hasn't stopped Noah Cappe from forging ahead. As host of "Carnival Eats," which opens its fourth season Thursday, March 9, on Cooking Channel, the Toronto native regularly puts himself in harm's way to sample outsized burgers, heart attack-inducing fried foods and confections guaranteed to put you in sugar shock, all so you don't have to. Or maybe you want to. Hey, nobody ever said the stuff isn't delicious. "It's like my stomach was just destined to do this," Cappe says of his apparent internal fortitude. "The craziest part of the four seasons and approaching 400 foods that I've put into my body, the only time I've gotten any food-related sickness over my four years of filming was on my day off in Toronto last season. So it didn't even have anything to do with the fair. Unreal, maybe it's just my destiny." The new season once again takes Cappe across the country to sample the imaginative, decadent and downright weird dishes being prepared at American carnivals, ranging from the bacon peanut butter and jelly quesadilla in Indiana, to the deep-fried chili dog in Oregon and the rib pop in California. In Thursday's season opener, Cappe touches down at the Big Butler Fair in Prospect, Pa., where he takes on "the Conevore," essentially a big ice cream cone filled with smoked meat. "A huge part of what these guys and girls have to come up with is transportability, a way to get this food around the fairgrounds," Cappe explains. "So getting things on a stick is always a big one. You see corndogs and whatever, it's always on a stick. "But this guy," he continues, "has found a way to actually put your full meat-based lunch inside a cone so you can one-hand it and just walk around and play games with the other hand. It's really the best of both worlds. We haven't run all the official tests yet but I think these cooks are geniuses."
