Man V. Food- Anyone watch it?

[DanielSweeney]

I just caught a few episodes this past week. The show's host takes "food challenges" in different cities. The first one I saw took place in San Antonio and he had to eat a 72 oz. steak plus all the sides in one hour. I just saw the one in New Orleans where he had to eat 15 dozen oysters in one hour.

It's disgusting. Seriously.

Yeah, I watched half of one...It was really boring. I see someone eat everyday, why watch it on TV?

This is a good show IMO. There's more to it than seeing if he can eat a food establishments respective "challenge". I would say about 1/3 of the time he doesn't even complete the challenge. This guy is not a competetive eater also, from my understanding.

Across the USA, they/he visit cool little places that alot of people have never heard of and discuss the tradition of the city/food.

I think he's pretty funny as well, just my opinion though.

I enjoy it too and for the same reasons bcus said. I like most of the shows combining travel and food, they're two of my favorite things. I don't really care for the actually food challenge, but I don't mind it at all either. Lately I've been watching a lot of Man v. Food and No Reservations w/Anthony Bourdain

True. The first couple segments where he visits some of the local restuarants is actually pretty interesting.

Yea it does get a little gross though when he tries to eat 7lbs of a sandwhich filled with cole slaw and french fries- along with the normal monstrous portions of meat/cheese or whatnot :)

lol- It's not exactly the same thing. That would be like saying that you won't watch NASCAR because you see cars driving everyday.

Hey Dan,Yeah I've caught a few episodes.Really not sure how a human can consume that much in one sitting but he looks to be the person for the challenge...

Did you see the "heart attack" burger (or whatever it was called)? A hamburger, 3 fried eggs, 4 slices of cheese and 6 strips of bacon. Here's the kicker- it isn't served on a bun, it's served between two grilled cheese sandwiches. Uggg!
