Premiering Wednesday, August 12th at 10pm ET/PT - "Sweet Carolina Cravings" Anthony Anderson heads to the Got to Be NC Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina for some southern fried carnival goodness.

Premiering Wednesday, August 19th at 10pm ET/PT - "Ooey-Gooey Golden State" In Sacramento, California for the country fair, Anthony finds cowboys aplenty and enough carnival treats to feed the whole Golden state. He dives into the deep end of carnival food with a burger with a "cheese skirt" and a bacon-topped cinnamon roll sundae.

Premiering Wednesday, August 26th at 10pm ET/PT - "Deep Fried Rockies" Anthony heads to the heart of the Rockies for some mountain-sized carnival fun at Parker Days in Parker, Colorado. The carnival eats he finds at this fest are no small feat - massive 24 pound beef ribs and a deep-fried root beer float.

Premiering Wednesday, September 2nd at 10pm ET/PT - "Bacon-Wrapped Heartland" At the Prairie Fest in Oswego, Illinois, Anthony eats his way through the heartland, gobbling up everything from bacon-wrapped roasted corn to a twist on a local specialty - a Chicago crab dog.

Premiering Wednesday, September 9th at 10pm ET/PT - "San Diego on a Stick" Anthony Anderson soaks up some So-Cal fun at the San Diego County Fair, where every carnival treat is straight out of the melting pot, such as Thai chicken fry bread and a chile relleno cheeseburger.

Premiering Wednesday, September 16th at 10pm ET/PT - "Lobster dogs and So-Cal Sundaes" At the Alameda County Fair, Anthony meets up with 500,000 of his friends to chow down on crazy carnival eats like a mac and cheese stuffed burger and a lobster dog.
