Travel Channel's Man vs. Food

[Colossal Spoons]

Easily one of my new fav shows. Always makes me crazy hungry though :D

[Metamorpho1977]

I like it too. I've been to the Vortex Bar and Grill in Atlanta and had the Double Bypass Burger. Never finished it, but what I could eat of it was really good.

[MX25]

That Burger in Boston Episode was EPIC!

[Colossal Spoons]

I need some of this "Juan in a Million" business

[Red Cherry Lips]

I love the shows on The Travel Channel and this is definitely one of my favorites because the eateries host, Adam Richmond, frequents are fantastically outrageous! Those food challenges! OMG!!! :wow:

I always wondered how Adam maintains an "okay" on his health and found a good interview he did with Bizarre Food's Adam Zimmern that explains it here (http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Man_v_Food/ci.Interview_With_Adam_Richman.show?vgnextfmt=show ).

I just love Adam. He's so cool and fun. There's no way I could eat those portions or even some of the food but some look fresh and I could go for a sample portion fer sure. :up::cool:

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, Adam's the coolest food-related host since Alton Brown :o:up:

[Red Cherry Lips]

Yeah, Adam's the coolest food-related host since Alton Brown :o:up:

My cable is so bare bones I don't get Food Network. :csad: But I do catch Alton's show at my folk's place very now and then.

Were you watching the Man vs. Food marathon last night? Can't wait to see the new epi with the oysters. :wow::woot:

[Colossal Spoons]

I DVR'd the whole marathon. About 2/3 done :D

[Red Cherry Lips]

I DVR'd the whole marathon. About 2/3 done :D

Sweet! :up:


Oh dude, I would so love to visit Salt Lick BBQ (http://www.saltlickbbq.com/) in Driftwood, TX. So quality. Besides the brisket, I'd love to sink my teeth into that fresh wood-grilled sausage. So hard to find fresh sausage now-a-days. Bet it does "melt in the mouth" like Adam said about the brisket.

[Colossal Spoons]

I've never had brisket, but after that episode I need to try it.

[chaseter]

You have never had brisket:dry: You carpet baggers.

[Colossal Spoons]

To be honest, I'm pretty much a novice beef eater in general. Steak and hamburgers and all the typical cuts of beef are all I have experience w/.

[chaseter]

Come to Texas...I will cook you some brisket.

[Red Cherry Lips]

You have never had brisket:dry: You carpet baggers.

I've had brisket. Just not from Salt Lick. :oldrazz:

I was craving it so bad I went to a good Chinese restaurant and ate some delicious noodle soup with brisket in it. It was extra good because it's been so damn cold today. *brrrr*

Come to Texas...I will cook you some brisket.

You cook brisket! *does happy dance* Thanks man. :up:

Now if Air Force One could give me a lift to Texas...

[AndThePickles]

This show sounds amazing. I love brisket!

[AndThePickles]

Yay, the curry one is on now!

[Colossal Spoons]

^Nice, that phaal looked like death.

The best parts of the show are the chicks that sometimes come and give him support mid-challenge and the "press conference" during the end credits :D

[AndThePickles]

Haha, I can't believe he has to meditate in a heated room first!

[Superark]

I've just seen this show today. It was great! The host is very funny and makes the show very entertaining. But man this show makes me so hungry.

The only two shows I've seen are The Indian Curry one and the Don Juan taco episodes.

I thought he's be able finish the don juan

[chaseter]

He did the Amarillo 72 ounce steak challenge...in well Amarillo and I live near Amarillo:up: Never tried that though...too much food for me:o

[Colossal Spoons]

I thought he's be able finish the don juan

He could've. You have all day, just no bathroom breaks.

[Red Cherry Lips]

Someday I'll get to Chicago and eat a slice of deep dish pizza. Meaty Legend at Gino's East looks like heaven. :oldrazz:

[Eklypze]

HHAHAHAHA so damn funny when he wiped his face with that towel and got that phall stuff all in his eyes!! I love this show though its funny as hell I bloved the ep where he did the atomic hot wings challenge and made him look like he was crying.

[Colossal Spoons]

Some of those wing sauces looked effing delicious

[Metamorpho1977]

I had some hot wings like that one time. They made me sign a waiver that I wouldn't sue them if something happened. I sat down, said to myself, "how hot can they be?" So, I just started chowing, went through like 4 of them real fast. Then I stood up. And all of a sudden, it felt like Mike Tyson, bare knuckle fist punched me right square in the chest and had me doubled over.

[Colossal Spoons]

I can't even imagine what heat like that feels like. If the goal is to eat 6, I'd imagine speed would be the key to completing it.

[Metamorpho1977]

I had to stop at 4. I was in serious pain. I drank a gallon and a half of milk before it stopped hurting.

[Red Cherry Lips]

Epi with Adam in New Orleans is on. There is no way he's going to finish those oysters!


EDIT: Holy crap! He actually did it. :wow::up:

[Metamorpho1977]

I'm not a big fan of oysters.

[Red Cherry Lips]

I'm not a big fan of oysters.

Me too. Maybe if it's in a seafood soup I'll eat it but not raw like that.

[DarbyD53]

Watched about episodes and I really love the show. Adam is very fun, good host and the food looks great.

I was in amazement that he ate 95% of the 12 egg omelet and just couldn't eat the last 3 bites. The pizza and burger challenges are my favorite. I'm not much of a crazy eater so most of the other stuff I wouldn't try.

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, he was sooo close w/ the omelet lol.

[DarbyD53]

I got a question for someone who might've watched this more than me. have they aired the show where he goes to Memphis? I been wanting to go there to try to eat that Burger we see on the previews. I know I have 0 chance but I'm going to be very happy to pay $20 just to see a burger that size.

[Colossal Spoons]

Nah, no Memphis episode. I have to get the burger he has in Atlanta though :D

[Metamorpho1977]

The double bypass? I've had one. It's good. It took me three days to eat it, but it's good.

[Red Cherry Lips]

Gads, that 15 shake challenge! :wow:

[DarbyD53]

I couldn't get 5 of those down in 30 minutes. Not a chance.

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, I'm surprised Adam drank as many as he did

[DarbyD53]

I have trouble drinking a 32oz one from McD's. I can't imagine 120oz.


Also on a side note, here is a picture of the BigFoot Burger that Adam is going to try to eat in one episode coming up. I looked for a better picture but this was about the best.

I wish him luck :(

[Red Cherry Lips]

^^Good idea to post the food!

On a slightly off topic note, Travel Channel's best ice cream places.... Oh man. I almost caved in to go to the nearest diner that makes sundaes.

[Red Cherry Lips]

This show is killing me!!! Voodoo Donut Shop! Big time Homer salivating. :wow::oldrazz:

Can't beat sweet and meat. :oldrazz:

I'm dying for a good ol' fashioned glazed donut, now..

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm curious about their glazed donuts b/c the glaze is an orange-based one. Interesting.

[Red Cherry Lips]

I'm big on breakfast places and the "mancakes' at Stepping Stone Cafe looks so heavenly. Huge and stacked. Just a couple of bites and I'll be all good. :oldrazz:

The bread and potatoes is what kills that challenge.

I need those mancakes!!!

[DarbyD53]

I must've missed these Mancakes, but I can tell you right now I want some.

[Red Cherry Lips]

Here you go. (http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/02/mancakes-giant-pancakes-at-the-stepping-stone-cafe-in-portland-oregon-video/) Although it's not quite the same if one isn't there is it? *cries*

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q188/Anya7/mancakes.jpg

Damn, that's beautiful. I'm so jealous of Adam! :cmad::woot:

[DarbyD53]

I would destroy them!

Ok here is why I couldnt do good on this show. I have a terrible habbit of having to read when I eat. Now I do not do this out at resturants but if you ever told me I had to eat a lot of food in a short amount of time, then I need some good NBA, or Wrestling stories to read. Other wise I pay attention to what I am eating and see to get full very fast.

On a side note, I keep wanting to say that is bacon on the plate but that is the biggest bacon my eyes have ever got see

[DarbyD53]

Ok I showed the wife and told her I wanted her to make me some Mancakes Sunday. If she does I'll take pics of the before and after. She said I must include the bacon too. Wish me luck

[Red Cherry Lips]

^Yes, please post pix Darby! Whoo-hoo can't wait to see how your wife's mancakes come out. Bet they'll be yummy! :)

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm still salivating over Gladys Knight's chicken and waffles :O

[Metamorpho1977]

I'm still salivating over Gladys Knight's chicken and waffles :O

It's definitely a must-visit if you're ever in Atlanta. I've been there several times. Out of this world is a good description.

[Red Cherry Lips]

Whoever thought of that combo is pure genius. Yeah Gladys! :up:

In the early 80s, my dad was a body guard for her and he got to have dinner at her house and took us to have them at her home. I was ecstatic when she opened the restaurant.

[Metamorpho1977]

I started eating this thing today for lunch...
http://i545.photobucket.com/albums/hh365/Markjr1977/dad2d8f1.jpg
Behold the Double Bypass from the Vortex. It's made with three fried eggs, four slices of American cheese, and five slices of bacon, with two grilled cheese sandwiches replacing the buns.

[DarbyD53]

I noticed you said you "started" no finish? lol

I still am working on doing the mancakes challenge. I was a little sick Sunday and monday so I passed on it.

I just read about tonight's shows and can not wait for them. I've not seen the first 3 on tonight

[Colossal Spoons]

I need it!

[Metamorpho1977]

I noticed you said you "started" no finish? lol


In reality, it takes about 3 days to finish eating.

[Colossal Spoons]

Bump. The live episode from Miami was pretty good a few weeks ago.

[GhostPoet]

man....I really need to get my butt to Red Mill burger. It's only an hour away. :/

[AndThePickles]

I've been avoiding this show lately because I'm trying so hard to eat cleaner. It always makes me crave cheeseburgers :csad:

[Raiden]

My brother is a big fan of this show, and he wanted me to check it out. I must say it's extremely entertaining to see Adam tackle each challenges with gusto and humor, and while some food made me extremely hungry, others (like that 182 oysters challenge) made me feel sick in my stomach. Adam went to a Japanese ramen noodle resturant here in LA, and took on their hottest ramen and won. I wish I can catch that episode.

[El_Citrus]

I love this show, but everytime I see a cheeseburger, I want to run to the kitchen. Especially those in Minnesota, I think, with the cheese inside the burger. *Fatkid!gasm*

[Doctor Jones]

How the hell doesn't this guy gain so much weight?

[El_Citrus]

He said on ESPN that he eats extremely healthy foods the rest of the time so that when he splurges on these foods, he doesn't gain so much weight.

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, I bet his diet is super clean when he's not filming

[Raiden]

Yeah, I bet his diet is super clean when he's not filming

He also have a good exercise regime, and I bet he has great metapolism as well.

[Morg]

Bump. The live episode from Miami was pretty good a few weeks ago.

Sucked IMO, liked the other episodes. Still waiting for the return of Vegas one where he tries again eating that 5 pound burrito. My friend was there when he did it again
