Reviews

Gigi White I'm a Food Network junkie, so I'll try any food-related show once. So, when I saw the Travel Channels Man v. Food promos, I was dubious but knew I had to give it it's day in court.First of all, I was prepared to hate the show and it's pudgy host. There's something so sadly pathetic about trying to present an over-weight man who gorges himself at food eating challenges as macho.However, I like the host. Adam Richman is a very personable, charming individual. Which makes me dislike the show even more because it's all about this guy slowly killing himself by gorging on pounds and pounds of the most craptastic food America has to offer. Frankly, I think he's better than this and I hope his agent can swing a better deal for him fairly soon.As for the type of food culture this show glorifies, is this really what the 2nd fattest country (Go Mexico!) in the world needs to be watching? Worse yet, MvF is shown in other countries. Yet another reason for the world to poke us in our flabby sides and laugh at us. Judging by this show, gone are the days when Americans used to have pride in themselves and a bit of self-discipline.Man v. Food, much like Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and that Paula Dean "cooking" show, is just food porn. How many different ways can meat, cheese, fries and bread be prepared? And why do people care after the first 2 episodes?
lazzerflyer First of all, if you are a vegan, vegetarian, politically driven, gluttonous, and/or easily impressionable, this show is not for you, so don't watch it and most importantly, DON'T REVIEW IT! This show follows Adam Richman as he travels throughout America and gorges himself at some the best locally known eateries which culminates into the viewers and locals watching Adam take on some ridiculous food challenges. While it may seem grotesque. The one thing I find interesting, is that Adam never seems to gain any weight during the shows airing. I do not see it as America's fascination with gluttony, but rather America's obsession with making good wholesome foods for the everyday customer and if someone wants to come in and pig out, they can! In moderation it won't kill you anymore than the everyday pollution we are exposed to. Adam has great energy and keeps this show very entertaining all the way to the very end.
Ben Trovato You can watch your grandparents and parents die of "food-born" illnesses, like cardio-vascular disease and common cancers, twenty and forty years before they are due. You can see close relatives, friends and co-workers get heavier, sicker, less-capable, less productive -- less happy -- year by year. You can understand that upwards of 80% of the agricultural production in the western world goes to feed animals to produce the foods consumed as shown so wastefully in the behavior glorified in these shows. Know that those animals live as in Auschwitz every day of their lives and that the same plant food, calorie by calorie as is fed to them would be enough to adequately feed the rest of the human world maybe several times over. Understand that morbid obesity and type-2 diabetes are now problems for young children. I have no problem with say, nudity or vulgar language in art, it harms no one and depending on presentation, you like it or you don't, no problem. I cannot understand the rational disconnect and hypocrisy that allows the conduct and mindset of this show to be anything less than shockingly obscene. I understand this program's average rating is 7.8 on IMDb and that it has been running for at least five seasons. Take care people.
bhoselton88 There are a lot of shows on television that travel to a variety of locations to show off the different foods that we can eat, but Man V. Food is far and away the best of the bunch. Host Adam Richman travels the country to find the great pig-out places all over our great land. He also tackles a food challenge in every city he visits, ranging from 15 dozen oysters in New Orleans, to a giant burger challenge in Boston, to the Don Juan Taco Challenge in Austin, Texas(You have to watch the reruns on the Travel Channel to view the winner). Sometimes the winner is man, sometimes the winner is food. No matter who reigns victorious it is still an extremely entertaining half hour, even if you are not a big fan of these types of show. What sets it apart from other shows in this category and other shows period, is the host, Adam Richman. First of all, I can say, Adam can eat. You can clearly see after watching a few episodes that he is also having a lot of fun in what I would classify as one of the top twenty jobs in the United States. He gets to travel, he gets to eat. What else can I say. Beyond that he is intelligent about food, he is extremely funny for someone who has just downed seven pounds of burger and fries, and the viewer even gets to learn a little food history. Beyond that, its just fun to sit on the couch and say "I can do that" or "There is no @#$*& way I could eat that." So if you want to watch the best show on TV right now, turn to the travel channel. And Adam, if you ever want to try the Carnivore Pizza Challenge again, Give me a call. Great show.
