Hosting ‘Man vs Food’ is the Best Job in America

Adam Richman, a Brooklyn native, is the current host of the Travel Channel show Man vs Food, and if they ever need a replacement host I will be the first person in line to audition. The show consists of Adam visiting cities across America and finding the best & most extreme pig-out food places. At the end of each show, he usually ends up in a restaurant with some demented food challenge that he takes on. In one episode, he attempted to eat a 7 1/2 pound ha’mburger. Hes also taken shots at a 2 1/2 pound Dagwood Sandwich, five 24-ounce malt milkshakes, and a 7-pound monster breakfast burrito – just to name a few challenges. It doesn’t matter if Adam wins or loses; just watching him attempt to win is incredibly entertaining and ridiculously appetizing. In another episode, the show featured a burger that instead of a bun used two grilled cheese sandwiches. It’s enough to make anybody’s heart melt (or explode). Plus, learning about all these insane places to eat at is a great companion to any travel guide. I know it’s wrong and a major health concern to be promoting such irresponsible eating habits, but it’s just so much fun to watch and I could not be more jealous of what this man gets paid to do.
