Man Vs. Food

If you have ever passed by the Travel Channel during a channel surfing session while Man Vs. Food is on, there is no way to deny that you haven’t stopped to watch. Adam Richman, who claims to have held every job in the restaurant industry, premiered his exploration of food on December 3, 2008. In each episode, Richman explores the food a different American city before facing off against a pre-existing eating challenges at that local restaurant while regulars or people of the town cheer him on.
While on the road, Adam and crew remain in contact with viewers through social networking options. http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Man_V_Food provides discussion boards, areas where viewers can recommended sites for future episodes, live videos from filming, and so much more.

I am a very big fan of this show. I think Adam is one of the best host of a food show if not the very best ever. He does some amazing things and I can't wait to see more. Maybe a new season idea would be to got to overseas and do some challanges. Again big fan Adam and if you read this you are the MAN! Hopefully I will get a chance to see a challange next time you are in Michigan!

For those of you who have watched Adam pack down food such as a SIX POUND BURRITO, you might wonder why the host, who is "a bit on the husky side", is not obese. Turns out that Richman spends an hour or so on a treadmill, telling the Las Vegas Review-Journal, "Being sedentary is incredibly uncomfortable. [...] [D]espite the fact that the first 10 minutes or 15 minutes on the treadmill might suck, it actually does alleviate a lot of pressure, and you feel better."
