Man vs Food

Adam Richman is my hero!

I tend to actually prefer the bits he does before the challenge where he looks as famous or popular or unique foods. Some of it is of course fatty and greasey for the sake of it, but some is actually really interesting. That pizza place that did toppings inspired by sandwitches was great, and the Krispy Kreme cheeseburger looked interesting (I need to try that some time).

Just checked Wiki, its all over :(

On January 27, 2012 on his Facebook page, Richman announced his retirement from competitive eating. [23]

No exact reason was given as to why Richman retired, other than moving on and wishing his audience farewell.

I also prefer the bits before the challenges you get to see some good food, id say the best bits!
 
Love it. Seen 'em all!

Adam Richman fasts the day before the challenge and runs for about three hours after. He also has a rigorous training routine to make sure he's not killing himself. He's a seriously good presenter, and has a great sense of humour. Love him!
 
I love this program as there are some really interesting foods and diners that he visits, especially like seeing the barbeque shows. Some of it you look at and go 'thats way over the top'.
 
No matter what exercise he's doing, he's not doing enough!

Has anyone else noticed how much fatter he's become since when Man Vs Food first started?

I've also noticed he seems to fail A LOT more of the challenges he's set in more recent episodes - I'm not suprised at this though, some are just obscene.

I've not seen anything on there I'd go wild to try, though sampling a bit of everything would be my idea of fun :)

The more I watch it, the more I think how easy it would be to open a successful restaurant in America - just apply silly portions of any dish smothered in cheese, whilst claiming the random spice mix you quarry-tip on at the start is 'Momma's secret recipe' :p
 
i saw a few episodes recently and came across this while googling it... :D

But what I'd really like to see is what happens the next morning, when the show presumably turns into Man V Poo, as Richman empties the dauntingly substantial, hopelessly compacted contents of his engorged colon, clenching the bathroom doorhandle between his teeth as he attempts to give birth to a leg-sized hunk of fecal sod without killing himself. Cue footage of him sweating, shaking and sobbing like a man impaled on a clay tree, before eventually squeezing out a log with the dimensions and weight of a dead gazelle in a greased sleeping bag. As he mops his brow (and backside), he smiles weakly with exhausted triumph, whispers farewell, and the credits roll. And we've all learned something about the price of excess.

Been to 3 restaurants that have been featured on the program

Hash house a go go in Vegas

Tommy Denics in Philadelphia

Rendevous in Memphis

none of them were particularly spectacular, all were ok but nothing more
 
We can all see that Adam is going to die of an heart attack some time soon with all the grease he eats but other wise good programme would love to try some of the resturants.
 
love the program, but makes me so tempted to jump in the car and find one of the local BBQ places and attempt half a cow. had a 36oz sirloin steak the other day, pretty much the limit of comfort.
 
maybe we should do a ocuk vs food :D

ocukers film there epic food battles :p maybe have a challenge each week and as many as people like take part with entries.

so week one could be eat certain hot curry and so on.
