“Ginormous Food,” a national television show that seeks out “the biggest and tastiest foods in America,” will film at several restaurants in Tucson this weekend, according to its website.
The program, which debuted on The Food Network in January, is slated to be at Lindy’s on 4th, 431 N. Fourth Ave., on Friday, April 7, Boca Tacos, 828 E. Speedway, on Saturday, April 8, and Stray Dogs, 78 W. River Road, on Sunday, April 9, according to host Josh Denny’s official Facebook page.
Denny’s Facebook page also indicates that they have been filming at restaurants in Phoenix since Monday.
Tucson has long been a destination for basic cable food programs, even before its designation as UNESCO City of Gastronomy in December of 2015.
Other shows that have filmed in town include the Travel Channel's “Bizarre Foods” with Andrew Zimmern and “Man v. Food,” also on the Travel Channel, with Adam Richman.
