Ep 10. Shepherd's Pie and Sunday Dinner Sundaes

The third season of Carnival Eats comes to a close with its tenth and final episode titled "Shepherd's Pie and Sunday Dinner Sundaes." This episode features some of the most mouth-watering, carnival-inspired dishes yet, all prepared with a creative twist.

Host Noah Cappe begins his culinary journey at the Indiana State Fair, where he samples "The Hot Beef Sundae." As the name suggests, this delicious creation consists of mashed potatoes, gravy, and roast beef piled high in a cup, served with a cherry tomato on top to complete the sundae illusion. The toppings vary from cheese sauce to sour cream, and each bite is a perfect balance of savory and sweet.

Next, Noah heads to the Maryland State Fair to try the "Crab-Stuffed Waffle." This dish proves that waffles aren't just for breakfast, as it contains a crab cake that's cooked inside the waffle. To top it off, it's served with a homemade Old Bay sauce that gives it a unique, tangy flavor.

The following stop is at the Eastern Idaho State Fair, where Noah indulges in "Carnival Carbonara." This fusion dish takes the classic Italian pasta dish and puts a carnival twist on it, adding a meatball on top and a deep-fried breast strip for an extra crispy crunch. To make it even more decadent, it's topped off with a creamy Alfredo sauce.

In addition to these three dishes, Noah also samples "Beef Shepherd's Pie on a Stick" at the Arizona State Fair. This dish puts a unique, portable spin on the traditional Shepherd's Pie by serving it on a stick, making it easy to take on the go.

After sampling the savory dishes, Noah moves onto the sweet courses. He heads back to the Indiana State Fair to try "Sunday Dinner Sundaes," a dessert that features all the classic Sunday dinner components, including mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, and a fried chicken strip, served in a sundae cup with caramel sauce and whipped cream on top. It's a sweet and salty treat that's as unique as it is delicious.

At the final stop at the Eastern Idaho State Fair, Noah discovers the "Churro S'mores." This dessert takes the classic campfire s'more and adds a twist of carnival flavor by using churros instead of graham crackers. The churros are cooked fresh on the spot, and then filled with melted chocolate and marshmallows.

All in all, the "Shepherd's Pie and Sunday Dinner Sundaes" episode of Carnival Eats is a sweet and savory showcase of the most creative and inventive dishes from carnivals and fairs across the United States. It's a perfect finale for an already delicious season of the show, and it's sure to leave viewers hungry for more!
