Outrageous Food
In Outrageous Food, “Big Chef” Tom Pizzica, season six finalist from The Next Food Network Star, is on a quest to unearth the most jaw-dropping, eye-popping, occasionally heart-stopping foods in the country – dishes that give “outrageous” a whole new meaning. From the oversized (60-inch pizzas carried by crane to the table) and absurdly spicy (“Ninja” sushi rolls made with fresh habaneros, cayenne peppers and wasabi oil) to the ridiculously pricey (the $175 burger made with Kobe beef, black truffles and foie gras) and the blatantly bizarre (corn-on-the-cob flavored ice cream), Tom learns the secrets of these out-of-this-world eats from the chefs at all the locales. Years of experience working in kitchens coupled with his every-guy likeability, sharp wit, and appetite for bold food, Tom Pizzica takes Outrageous Food to new heights.

“Rattlesnake Pierogies”
At Fat Sandwich Company in Champaign, Ill., Tom chows down on “The Big Fat Ugly,” a house-special sandwich loaded with chicken nuggets, burger patties, pizza bites and hash browns. Then, at Church Brew Works in Pittsburgh, Penn., Tom learns an up,raditional recipe for stuffing pierogies with rattlesnake and he tries some of the dishes they make with beer brewed on site. On his last stop, Tom finds Randy’s Premier Pizza in St. Paul, Minn., which challenges patrons to eat a four-foot pizza.
