The episode, titled “Parmageddon,” will air at 8 p.m. on Sunday.

A news release states viewers can experience San Antonio’s culture and culinary scene, including a variety of dishes from the festival. The show is hosted by Noah Cappe.

The Cooking Channel’s website states Cappe tried a loaded Oaxacan tamale, an “Elote Dog,” a “Smash Burger Taco,” and “Breakfast de Muertos,” a breakfast sandwich on a Pan de Muerto bun.

“The strength of Muertos Fest comes from the people who come together to make it happen, from family altar builders to national and local performers,” Jim Mendiola, Muertos Fest artistic director, said in the release. “Our wonderful and diverse food vendors are no exception. We are excited that Carnival Eats decided to shine this national light on the local food scene including El Weinecero, La Panaderia, and NACO Mexican Eatery.”
