Tom Pizzica may have not won season six of The Next Food Network Star – but don’t go throwing a pity party. He received a pretty sweet consolation prize out of the ordeal - namely his own show.

When Outrageous Food premieres on the Food Network tomorrow night (10 p.m. ET), it's sure to deliver all sorts of unhinged, gravity-defying, exorbitant eats.

But first, a few ground rules on outrageousness from Mr. Pizzica:

In order for something to be considered outrageous, it doesn't necessarily need to be the biggest, spiciest or the priciest. Sometimes we have memories about a particular story of culinary mayhem,or the first time you eat something that becomes a lifelong favorite, and I consider those to be outrageous as well. Here are five of those memories.

Spoiler alert all you TiVo devotees: Aarti Sequeira is the "Next Food Network Star."

The CNN producer (Editors' Note: woot!) turned culinary school graduate turned blogger was crowned the winner of season six on last night's finale. Born in Bombay, India and raised in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Aarti's recipes spruce up American classics with unique Indian influences. No time to dilly-dally on the victory though: Aarti's new show, "Aarti Party," is set to premiere Sunday, August 22 on the Food Network.

With the NFNS title now under her belt, Aarti is sharing her menu to celebrate. Don't be tardy to the Aarti Paarti!
