Have you seen this? No wonder our American freinds are, ahem, obese. On tonights episode they are at a BBQ that a local fellow puts on for the police and firefighters in the area.

Each service man gets a whole chicken, a rack of beef, a huge turkey leg, 6 sausages and more! I think the idea is whatever they don't eat they give to people more needy, not quite sure of the logistics of that.

Then next the host, who appears to be quite large but not what i'd call huge, is about to get stuck into a burger. Not just any old burger, but a quadruple 'hub cap' burger as the place thar sells it has named it. The size of the burgers are huge, hence the term 'hub cap'.

Amazing, and as i said, i'm really not suprised that the US has a high obesity rate.

for your own sanity, don't go on the 'dirty takeaway' thread!

man v food is great and i'd love a crack at some of the challenges. the good thing about the show is the showcase of some of the food on offer there. proper bbq food is a big weakness of mine, and episodes like the one showing the open wood burning bbq pit have me drooling.

should be more stuff like the shut up challenge in the uk.

Some of the places he goes to do some very good looking (as in the quality of the ingredients) food. Portions too big but I'd try most.

The only downside is the use of "American" cheese, the plastic processed type. The cheddar ones are better.

This program makes me hungry every time I watch it. Soooooo many good and tasty things to try. I want to try some of the hot food challenges, just too find out how hot they really are.

Watching this makes me think what are the odds of him being alive five years down the line.

I thought that but then he's not huge so maybe he eats very healthily other times?

What about that champion eater he met, Joey Chestnut he's not big either, he prepares for 3 days before. Maybe Adam fasts too before recording?

Here he is (later) on the Burritozilla challenge episode - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ib_2-qdFhk

I guessed he probably does a lot of exercise, Wikipedia says; To maintain his health while indulging for his show on Travel Channel's Man v. Food (which he began hosting in 2008) Richman exercises twice a day while he is on the road. When the schedule permits, he does not eat the day before a challenge and he tries to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water or club soda and forgoing coffee or soft drinks.

I would like to know how far apart each episode is filmed, if they were going to one place a month and then he was doing 3 weeks eating normally/less then I don't think it'd do him too much harm surely?

This show annoys me for the simple fact that there's so much food on a single fking burger/plate/trough that it spills half its contents out.

I just get pissed off eating messy st like that.

As much crammed on to the one thing does not equal better.
