Man v. Food

Man v. Food is the coolest show ever! He tried to eat a 6 lbs burrito in Las Vegas and couldn't do it. This show rocks!

 

Yeah, I've seen a few episodes.
He hits some pretty fun places, but there's no way I could eat like he does.

 

I'd like to challenge him in a wing eating contest.

It's an interesting show, but I'm not too crazy about the host, though. He claimed he was a chef on one episode but flipping channels the other day, he was acting in a B movie on the Syfy channel...and doing a poor job at that, too.

 

Never watched that show but now Im intrigued...

 

Not a fan. I prefer Andrew Zimmern Bizarre Foods.

 

I also prefer Andrew Zimmern. Anyone can eat large quantities of good food but Andrew kicks it up to a whole new level. I had to laugh after several seasons of watching him consume all manner of ghastly things when he said he couldn't eat Spam

 

Did you guys ever see the Bizzare Foods "Texas" Episode?

He went to Tim Love's resturant Lonesome Dove in Forth Worth and ate rattlesnake and rabbit sausage and New Zealand red deer meat.

My Dad is taking my wife and I to that place on my birthday (Aug 31st) and I am super excited to try both the rattlesnake/rabbit sausage and red deer!

I also like to watch No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain

 

I've never understood the appeal of eating contests. But that's prolly just me...

 

Nope, not just you.

 

I like Man vs Food and No Reservations. I can give or take Andrew Zimmern. There's only so many times that I can hear about how something tastes gamey or nutty or earthy. Please expand your vocabulary to include other descriptive words.

 

I love that show, especially when he was on with the bizzare foods guy in Minnesota. I always wanted to see one of those food guys taste something and make a face and say "this tastes like&^$%^&" well he did it when he ate the Lutefisk. It was so funny.happy102happy102

 

Both good shows watch them all the time.:happy102

 

Once ate Lutefisk in Norway. It's...well...rather pungent, not an experience I'm anxious to repeat. Whale blubber made Lutefisk look like steak and lobster. I have however eaten and enjoyed balut (the duck egg with baby duck inside)

 

I saw Alton Brown and his road crew examine the making of lutefisk and try to sample some in one segment of his series 'Feasting on Asphalt'.
The description of the process by which it is made is enough to make me question if it's even technically 'food' anymore. :sick007

 

Love that show too and No Reservations.

Zimmern was on MvF once, pretty go episode.

 

I hear it's a big hit in Haiti.

*hangs head in shame and disgust*

 

Pure gluttony is not entertaining to me. The show can be fun but I just dont get it.

 

I can't remember the name. But do you ever watch the guy that travels abroad and eats all the exotic foods? That's crazy.

 

Write me down on the "just don't get it" list. Over here there's this TV personality named "Gal So-Ne" who is this young, kinda-cute girl who eats absolutely astounding amounts of food. She has some kind of disorder where she can't properly digest or somethingg, and she's eaten so much since she was a kid that her stomach takes up 2/3 of her torso--she can literally eat 10 pounds of food at a sitting. It's disgusting--that's her ONLY talent, and she's famous for it.

For your nausea, a video:

Man, that's creepy... I bet she sloshes when she walks after eating that much.
