Ep 2. The 72 Inch Burrito

In Outrageous Food Season 1 Episode 2, titled "The 72 Inch Burrito," the host Tom Pizzica explores the city of Las Vegas to find the biggest and most outrageous burrito. The quest leads him to Diego's Mexican Food, a popular restaurant known for their massive burritos.

Tom meets with the owner, Diego, who shows him the ingredients they use to make their burritos. The tortillas alone are six feet long, which is the size of the burrito. Tom is amazed at the amount of meat, beans, rice, and cheese that is used to fill up the burrito.

The challenge for Tom is not only to eat the 72-inch burrito in one sitting but to finish it all in under an hour to get his picture on the restaurant's Wall of Fame. Tom takes on the challenge, and with a timer set, he starts eating the enormous burrito. He struggles to take the first few bites, but once he finds a rhythm, he makes good progress.

Meanwhile, Diego shows how they make their famous salsa for the burritos, which includes using a unique blend of ingredients such as roasted tomatoes, garlic, and jalapenos. Tom takes a break from eating and joins Diego in the kitchen to learn how to make the delicious salsa.

After a little over half an hour, Tom hits a wall and starts to feel the weight of the burrito. He takes a break and drinks some water to help his digestion. With only fifteen minutes left, he gets back to eating, determined to finish the burrito within the hour.

As Tom reaches the last few bites, he struggles to keep it down, and his face shows the pain and discomfort. However, he continues and finally finishes the giant burrito in just under an hour. The whole restaurant cheers as Tom's picture is added to the Wall of Fame.

In the second half of the episode, Tom travels to another restaurant to try another outrageous food – the Bacon-Wrapped Meatball, which is a meatball made with ground beef, pork, and bacon wrapped around it and deep-fried. The meatball is then served on top of a bed of garlic mashed potatoes with gravy on top.

Tom meets with the creator of the dish, Chef Kevin of Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill. The dish was created as a spin-off of a dish served at the restaurant, which includes meat wrapped in bacon. The addition of meatballs made it more accessible to a wider audience.

Tom tries the Bacon-Wrapped Meatball and is blown away by the flavor and texture. The combination of the crispy bacon and the juicy meatball, along with the creamy mashed potatoes and the savory gravy, is a burst of flavor.

In conclusion, Outrageous Food Season 1 Episode 2, "The 72 Inch Burrito," is a fun and entertaining episode where Tom Pizzica takes on the challenge of eating a massive burrito and learns how to make a delicious salsa.
