Episode Details: Season 11 Episode 3

Episode Name: Supersized Food

Preview:

The US has become the culture of BIG–just look at the importance of size and how it has been infused into the lifestyle we choose to live, whether it’s our homes, our appliances such as large screen TVs or even eccentric stretch limos. But big has also affected what we eat. This episode explores America’s growing obsession with plus-sized meals and how we cook them! Discover the largest everyday offerings of gargantuan portions–from the biggest stacked burger in the world (at almost 250 pounds), a plus-sized Sicilian pizza that feeds almost 75 people, a 72-ounce steak no real cowboy can resist, and the seven-pound hot dog that’s too big for a bun. Top it all off with a giant cupcake, humongous cinnamon roll or a five pound gummy bear… and chase it down with a monster bottle of beer that holds over 101 ounces of brew.

Channel: HISTORY Channel

Episode Details: Season 11 Episode 1

Episode Name: Eggs

Preview:

Each year in the U.S., 280 million hens lay 80 billion eggs, one of the world’s most affordable sources of protein. We’ll chart the “journey of the egg” from henhouse to breakfast table…from massive traditional Iowa farms, where millions of eggs move from hens to delivery trucks without being touched by human hands…to “cage-free” and “pasture raised” farms where chickens have more room to roam but consumers pay the price. Find out what labels like “Grade A, Organic” and “Omega-3 Enhanced” really mean. See how powdered eggs get made and what happens to the billions of whites and yolks that go their separate ways. Try the world’s largest omelet, made from an ostrich egg, the equivalent of 24 chicken eggs. How about some pickled eggs or “century” duck eggs? And prepare to be awed by the “Michelangelo” of the egg-shell world as he sculpts egg shells less than 1/32 inch thick into jaw-dropping works of art.
