Whether it is a 14-pound bagel leviathan overflowing with smoked salmon and white fish salad, a stack of hot chicken tenders layered between a tower of four fried cheese sandwiches all topped with baked apples, or a heaping stack of pancakes that clocks in at 30 pounds, Josh's ultimate goal - to find the intersection of huge and delicious, while taking down every Ginormous Food America has to offer.

THE HUNT for a nine-pound super-hero sandwich that's a massive pile-up of bacon, pork and cheese. In Nashville, Josh cruises through the heart of country music as he visits a diner that serves a chicken gyro sandwich that is 17 pounds, along with a cheesesteak that is made with six pounds of steak, one pound of cheese and three pounds of homemade coleslaw and hand-cut fries. While in Louisville, Josh gets his hands on a carnivore's delight consisting of more than a pound of roast beef with fried vegetables and smothered in au jus and homemade marinara sauce served on a 12-inch roll. There is no such thing as too big, as Josh continues his travels through the country tasting all the unique dishes and learning the amazing stories behind them.
