After a week of shooting back in April, Food Network’s Ginormous Food Phoenix episode is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. tonight.

This unabashed celebration of gluttony and the bizarre will be featuring a 28-inch burrito from El Palacio’s in Chandler; the ground bacon and beef Big-Mouth Brady Bacon Burger, which is served over coleslaw and bacon strips and topped with pulled pork, pepper jack cheese, and barbecue aioli from the Scottsdale location of Porkopolis BBQ; and the 10-pound “Bubbie’s Belly Buster” Jewish Slider from Chompie’s in Tempe.

The show will feature Tucson restaurants Boca Tacos y Tequila, Lindy’s on 4th, and Stray Dogs next Friday, June 9.
