Travel Channel's Food Paradise, which focuses on a thematic American dish or discipline with each episode, is filming at two locations in Philly this weekend, and you can get your grill on TV if you time it right.

On Friday, May 18 from noon to 2, the crew will be at Jake's Sandwich Board (122 S. 12th St.) to shoot the shop's Garlic Bomb (pictured), a vamp-repellent cheesesteak hooked up with roasted garlic spread, sautéed garlic and deep-fried garlic cloves. They're actually looking for a few garlic freaks to participate in their "5-Pound Philly Challenge," featuring the Garlic Bomb, on camera. If you've got a voracious appetite and are OK with smelling like an Italian nonna's kitchen on Christmas Eve for two weeks after, email info@jakessandwichboard.com with three reasons why you should be picked.

On Saturday, May 19, from about 11 a.m. to 2, Food Paradise will shoot at Hot Diggity! (630 South St.). Owner Keith Garabedian is looking to pack the joint for the filming and says the show plans on interviewing customers about their fave dogs and so forth. Saturday will also see the debut of HD!'s housemade sodas — they'll offer a house root beer, a maple lemonade and a cilantro/lime/jalapeno soda, with other flavors rotating in and out in the future.
