This show leads us toward devilish treats suited only to the guilt-immune. Every once in a while, why not?

I taped a couple episodes this week when I saw that host Noah Cappe was heading to Florida, the state to which I'm thinking of relocating.

Noah stops first at the Pensacola Interstate Fair -- still hopping in the age of COVID, and ready for action Oct. 21. Here we sample "Crabby Tots" (yeah, gimme some), "Love Me Tender Pizza" (if I want pizza, I DON'T crave chipotle sauce and ranch), and crazy-colored "Cotton Candy Funnel Cakes" (now these, I'd gobble in a heartbeat).

Next, Noah's off to Lake Worth, which a quick check of Wikipedia tells me is in Palm Beach County. (Oh, how I miss you, Rush Limbaugh!)

Noah's here to sample the South Florida Garlic Fest, where we try Floribian "Mojo Garlic Pockets" (they do look scrumptious), the "Claw Cake Burger" (the stone crab-claw garnish rocks), "Toasted Garlic Donuts" (they look tastier than they sound), and "Chicken Fried Nachos" (one heaping order, please!).

In contrast to a previous reviewer, I'm OK with Noah's manic presentation. Clearly, he loves his job. It's cool he brings a food reviewer's sensibility to these crazy concoctions.

I enjoyed this tasty trip to the Sunshine State!
