Premiering Wednesday, August 12th at 10pm ET/PT - "Sweet Carolina Cravings" Anthony Anderson heads to the Got to Be NC Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina for some southern fried carnival goodness.

Premiering Wednesday, August 26th at 10pm ET/PT - "Deep Fried Rockies" Anthony heads to the heart of the Rockies for some mountain-sized carnival fun at Parker Days in Parker, Colorado.
