Wednesday, Jan. 28: Food Fanatics

Jeremy Selwyn and Keith Shaw are on a mission. It doesn't involve dragons, or damsels in distress. Their quest: taste every snack food known to humankind, from Chinese turkey flavored chips to Japanese hot chocolate cheetos. They are among the area's food fanatics featured tonight, people whose obsessive appetites lead them to unusual tastes.

We'll also meet a New Hampshire chocoholic who's taken the fat out of brownies, watch competitive eater Jason "Crazy Legs" Conti in action, and see how the fine art of pickling continues in a Worcester factory.
