Title: Man vs. food
Post by: The Showstoppa on August 03, 2009, 02:08:45 PM
Do any of you guys watch it?  I caught a marathon on yesterday, had never watched it, but actually liked the show.

Great job.  Travel around and eat as much great food as you can.  Where do I apply?  Although I got a new concept show....Man vs. Beer !!!!!

I caught the marathon yesterday too.  It was so good I almost didn't flip over to catch the new episode of Ice Road Truckers.

The show is good, but made me hungry as hell while watching it.   ;D  The new season starts Wednesday.

haha, I know.  I was prowling the kitchen.....should have just fired up the grill and made a burger!  On the show, the 12 egg omellete no go disappointed me.  He could have choked down the last 2 bites!  C'mon !

Ya i've watched that show for a while.  That guy can be pretty funny, like after "the hottest wings" eating contest during his fake press conference he says "it tasted great going in, but i'm not looking forward to when it comes out"

No shit.  Dude couldn't eat a twelve egg omlette? He is a funny cat.  Must have burnt a hole in his gut eating some of that spicy shit. Dream fucking job for sure.

That one BBQ joint with those burnt bits of Brisket.  Damn that fucking looked good.

The one in St. Louis?  I have always heard they have great BBQ....  The BBQ here in eastern NC is very good too.

I also thought the deli sandwich from the place in NY looked awesome too.

He has the coolest job I've seen in awhile.  Fly around the country, sample/gorge on great food and just hang out, and probably gets paid very good to do it......sign me up!
