Ep 6. Planet of the Funnel Cakes

In the 6th episode of season 5 of Carnival Eats, viewers are taken on a journey to the "Planet of the Funnel Cakes". Host Noah Cappe travels to the Coastal Carolina fair in Wilmington, North Carolina and samples some of the most creative and delicious variations of funnel cakes.

The episode begins with Noah checking out the "deep-fried madness" at the carnival, showing viewers the different stalls selling fried foods such as deep-fried candy bars, fried mac and cheese, and fried pickles. He then heads towards the funnel cake stall and meets with the owner, who boasts about the variety of flavors they offer.

The first funnel cake Noah tries is a bacon and chocolate-flavored one. He describes it as "savory and sweet", with the bacon adding a salty crunch to the dish. The next funnel cake he tastes is a Nutella-flavored funnel cake, topped with strawberries and whipped cream. Noah is in awe of the combination of flavors and describes the dish as "rich and decadent". He then tries a funnel cake that is shaped like a pizza, with tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings. He describes it as a "fun twist on a classic dish".

Noah then moves on to other stalls in the fair, trying out dishes such as a "Fry-rito", which is a deep-fried burrito filled with rice, beans, and meat. He also tastes a "Fully Loaded Cheesesteak", which he describes as "juicy and flavorful".

After trying out various dishes, Noah makes his way back to the funnel cake stall to taste their most unique creation yet - the "Krispy Kreme Funnel Cake". This dish is essentially a funnel cake made using Krispy Kreme donuts, topped with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar. Noah is blown away by the dish and declares it as "the sweetest thing he has ever eaten".

The episode ends with Noah reflecting on the delicious food he has tried at the Coastal Carolina fair and urging viewers to try out funnel cakes in their own cities. He adds that while the flavors may differ, the carnival experience is always one-of-a-kind.
