Carnival Kings: Season 1, Episode 1

1 - 1: Deep-Fried Burger Battle

Fearlessly innovative artist and Michelin-starred chef Richie Farina is hitting the road in search of cutting-edge culinary competition, and he's found two worthy adversaries at the biggest "carnival" in the country -- the State Fair of Texas. Brothers Brent and Juan Reaves have created a Texas-sized sensation with their "Deep-Fried Bacon Burger Dog Slider on a Stick" and now Richie has 24 hours to come up with his own version of their famous dish. A head-to-head cook-off is judged by real fairgoers and they decide whose burger is really better.
