A self-educated food expert and trained sushi chef, since 1995 he has kept a travel journal including each of the restaurants he visited and what he learned from the trip. To maintain his health while indulging for his show on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food (which aired from 2008 to 2011) Richman would exercise twice a day while on the road. When the schedule permitted, he would not eat the day before a challenge and he tried to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water or club soda and forgoing coffee or soft drinks. Richman retired from competitive eating in January of 2012; as such, Man v. Food Nation was the final season of Man v. Food.
Found myself getting strangley addicted to watching that crap but mainly to laugh at fat Amercians cheering on another fat Amercian eating to bursting point.

You wouldn’t turn a challenge down though, would you? Admit it you’re just a little bit envious, aren’t you?
Idieters, this is not the thread for you….I absolutely love it, so much so I’m in training for eating a 72oz steak challenge a local steak house offers (cattlemens in harrogate) then if I do that I’m going for a 5lb burger challenge that damn yankee (sister restaurant) does!
Once I win the lottery, I’m going to all the restaurants he’s been to! Might have to avoid some of the challenges though!
Trash TV at its worst, an epitome of the American cultural theme of excess, doing enormous harm to the alleviation of the obesitiy crisis, blah blah blah…
Series linked,enjoy watching in horror somtimes,the super hot chicken wings looked finger lickin good,the over the top crowds are only let down,its like a t.g.i ‘s full of birthday partys
I enjoy this, It gives me some great ideas when I finally get off my backside and cook something. The challenges are fun but I’m more interested in the eateries and it’s nice to see a programme that isn’t all about poncy food or ingredients that can only be found by scaling the north side of K2.
Family viewing in the oldgrump household 🙂 Bad tv, bad diet but nom nom nom.
Wish we had proper diners, rib shacks etc in the UK. I know there are a few, but….
I watched about 2 hours of it this morning ands was seriously disappointed with my tiny boiled egg I ate for my lunch. I would hate to think of the fall out from some of those spicy challenges!!
