    Reality TV fans : You're going to go bananas when you find out who visited Greater Cincinnati this week.

    Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio, an MTV reality star-turned-television host, is on a tour of the Queen City, according to several videos he posted to his Instagram Story Wednesday. According to his posts, Devenanzio took a trip to King City Gardens, a medical and recreational marijuana dispensary in Forest Park, to do a "terpene profile testing."

    "This is where babies are made," he said in one video.

    While at King City Gardens, Devenanzio smelled several types of marijuana to identify the notes and flavors of each strain, per his video, and let's just say he was quite impressed with the local dispensary's collection.

    "Look at this guy, it's a God damn Christmas tree. You can hang ornaments from this thing, dude," he joked.

    Then, the seven-time "Challenge" champ attended the Taste of the Bengals , an annual event that allows attendees to participate in live auctions and raffles, including prizes featuring experiences with Bengals players. According to the Bengals website , each ticket sold helps the Freestore Foodbank provide hundreds of meals to families in the region.

    During the event, Devenanzio received an official Bengals football signed by several notable players, including the team's star quarterback, Joe Burrow. He even captured a photo of Burrow sitting behind his autographed ball.

    Bananas then finally ended his night with a visit to The Precinct by Jeff Ruby in East End. Per his IG Story, Devenanzio ordered the colossal shrimp cocktail, red king crab and the iconic "Air Ruby," which is a shoe-shape chocolate cake consisting of chocolate mousse, salted caramel crispy pearls, chambord creme and a cognac-caramel sauce.

    "Oh wow, that's actually sick," he said about the famous dessert.

    Devenanzio is currently starring on season 40 of "The Challenge," airing on MTV Wednesdays at 8 p.m.
