I've seen this a few times,and while I've nothing against what he eats,or the amount he eats,it's the wayhe eats that makes me want to hurl.

And don't you think he looks like an older,chunkier Kevin from the Wonder Years??:D

Noffles

It's a great show and shows you parts of the US you would not normally see... and the food is hunger inducing all the time!!

And yes, he does look like the Wonder Years fella... he's also a natural for TV.

Back on 249 at 9:00 this week.

Would make you want to go to the States and eat I find?

great show

Venom

I watched MvF when it first came out and while the first season was interesting the way the food of the week is the "best thing ever" kinda wears off after a while. Watch any episode from the first season and then jump to the latest season to see how much weight the host has put on

Yeah it's good - a bit ott at times - definately makes you want to make a trip over to some of these places.

Old thread, I know, but I'm late to the table on this one (pun intended). I've been to the USA a few times, different parts, and good food can be found if you can find a good place. The best meals I had there were in places I could never have found on my own e.g. on a business trip to Microsoft in Redmond (Seattle), we went out a restaurant on Lake Washington, where the fish was spectacular. Another highlight was a excellent burger & beer at a downtown bar in Colorado Springs, after a frustrating day at a company office.

It's a vicarious thrill, like Top Gear. Would I enjoy a pizza topped with 18 habanero peppers, as Adam had in Boise? Probably not ... :eek:

Charlie Brooker sums up my opinion on this show

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.

Don't know why they're bothered continuing this show if Richman isn't doing food challenges anymore..

Skinfull

Its fun viewing for a while but does tire quickly. There has to be major health issues with the format which is maybe why he isn't doing the challenges anymore.

I cant imagine how he tastes or savours any of the food he is shoving into his gob though!

Oh, good - that means it'll hopefully be more about quality than quantity in the future. I can live with that.

PS: I have a friend who's really in to hot sauces - so I might get him a bottle of Shut Up Juice, the stuff Adam went up against in Little Rock AR ...

Anthony Bourdain "No Reservations" covers quite a bit of America and the food is more quality than Quantity. His visit to the North West Pacific shows that America can do quality over quantity when they want to.

yeah i watch it religiously, i think its a brilliant show, very entertaining and i do envy that man for most of the food he eats

I prefer Diners, Drive-ins & Dives tbh.

Although I hear your man exaggerates the quality sometimes.

MvF is a great show - your man Adam is a bit ott but just the sheer quantity of food they offer in these places amazes me! Does get a bit repetitive though...
Meant & Potatos on Food Network is similar but a little less annoying - carnivores heaven!!!

Less annoying?

Seriously, have you seen / heard that host?! :eek:

If "irritation" was a person, it would be this man!
