Does anyone remember an old Travel Channel show called "Man v Wild"? It starred British adventurer, mountaineer and survival expert Bear Grylls. Each week he was stranded in some popular wilderness destination and had to find his way back to civilization, dishing out survival tips as he went.
Well tonight I watched another Travel Channel show called "Man v Food" which is nothing like it. Instead, host Adam Richman travels the country taking on eating challenges. There's something grossly fascinating about watching people gorge themselves past all normal limits. From the hottest curry on the planet (the chefs wear gasmasks when preparing it) to a 30" pizza to a hideously greasy 12lb combo of burgers and fries to Austin's own Juan in a Million breakfast taco challenge (see below). It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry, it may make you want to puke. I enjoyed it.

Sounds like a show I could be interested in watching. Right now my favorite show is "Top Chef" on Bravo. I guess I like to cook and eat!!
I love "Top Chef" too and have followed it since season 1.
Man vs Food is one of my favorites, that scene where he challenges the humungous guy to eating the 5 lb burger and 5 lbs of fries is disgusting though.
Oh yeah, but the look on his face when the humungous guy walked in was priceless.
