I absolutely love Carnival Eats. The show airs on the Cooking Channel with host Noah Cappe, who is absolutely hilarious. I can’t think of a better, funnier person to have travel around from fair to fair, sampling the craziest foods you’ve ever heard of. I always end up laughing at Noah’s antics, and I always end up hungry after seeing the food!
I’ve never missed an episode of Carnival Eats. I like it so much that I decided to make a post of the funniest lines from the show. Some funnies are from Noah, some from guests, and all are hilarious! Enjoy!
Guest’s comments are in quotes, everything else is pure Noah! There are some real gems in here so you gotta read them all!
