On the good food channel. I'm bored of every other programme on tv being about food but this show is a little different so bad it's good!

How does that guy stay in any shape that isn't round?

Ok, he isn't slim but considering what he eats he should be mahooosive.

We were having the same dabate, I think he probably doesn't eat for several days after one of these episodes!

It's fascinating but disgusting at the same time. I have to wonder if the food is actually appreciated. Still found myself watching it back to back on Dave New Years Day though!!

Think I've seen that interview somewhere, it's fairly understandable after the amount of calories he has.

I think at a lot of the places though he only tries a small bit of the food, it's only the challenges that he actually does/does not finish properly.

I remember reading/seeing somewhere that he has a personal trainer and a couple of hours after the challenge hes back to the gym ! The amount of weight he understandably gains throughout the series is crazy !

That show more often then not makes me drool quite badly. I know the quality is not going to be the best, but damn the food looks tasty. Now off to plan a round the US roadtrip lick

LOVE IT!!!!

Every now and then I make a MvF burger, either just for me or for my kids as well.









That one was between the 4 of us (1.2kg of mince)


This one was just for me (1kg of mince) + bacon and cheese smile

First one was done on the hob for a bit, then in the oven for about 30-40 mins to cook it through

Second one was done just on the hob as it wasn't too thick.

On my recent road trip across America,we started in Miami,and went to the Don Schula's restauraunt, from Man Vs Food live, then to some place in Baton Rouge, then to the 72oz steak place in Amarillo.

There was one more, which I forget.

Anyway. Steak at Don schulas was not worth the money, but that Amarillo Steak was was un-fecking beleivable.

I didn't attempt it, two people were in meat coma's when we arrived. I did try mountain oysters though biggrin

Love the show. I am nearly dribbling looking at some of the food. I made a big burger too. Not as big as other poster I used 850g mince 4 rashers of bacon a load of cheese and a big bun. Did anyone else see the one where he had the competitive eater on there who ate something like a 5lb burrito in 3 mins! He was a machine.

Charlie Brooker wrote a great review of this programme, including a line about the sequel would be more interesting - Man vs Poo

Still after every episode I feel like having a similar, but much smaller, meal. Those burritos always look fantastic...

At some point there should be a Man vs Epic Meal Time battle.
