Travel Channel's "Man vs. Food"

3peet · Jan 25, 2009

Mother of God!!! This dude is a beast! He's this guy from NY who travels the country trying to tackle every restaurant challenge around the country. This show has been airing back to back since 5pm. So far I've watched him.

-Finish a 72oz steak in Texas in under an hour.
-Eat 8 breakfast burritos in Texas throughout a whole day. He made it to 5.
-Devour a 12 stack, 5lb bacon cheeseburger from Boston. I don't think he ate half of it.
-He FINISHED this curry dish called "Fole" (i think). Apparently its the hottest curry dish in the country consisting of 10 of the hottest chili's. ABOSLUTELY INSANE. When the cook made it, it was so hot he had to wear a gas mask

This show has to be one of the funniest, if not inspiring (even tho i couldn't do it). Man, I pray this guy makes it passed 45 years of age. :missingte

Great personality. He should get good attention in the cardiac ward.

I want to try that Boston challenge. But dude was saying that at least a 1000 people have attempted it and not got it. Eagle's Deli , the Eagle Challenge . Called Eagle's because it's near Boston college.

The problem is the fries. That is just too many damn fries. If it was just the burger it would have been beat by now.

If anything I should run into some BC hottie girls at the least.

I tried to eat 3 "big ed's" from the green buritto in 45 minutes for $300....ate the first one in 20minutes and was ruined for two days, they were like 5lbs as big as a thanksgiving turkey.

I just checked out the eagles challenge. It's 50$ !

It has : 5 Lbs. of beef, 20 slices of cheese , 20 lbs. of bacon , 5 lbs. of fries.

Dude, that is enough food for a week. Thing is though if you beat it you can name it anything you want and it will be called that on the menu.

Yea, don't they rename the burgers after the name of the winner? First n last name?

I watched it, not much else on, at that time.

Some of the food looked really good, A BBQ in Texas ( I think it was).

The boston burger was funny with the 400+ lb looking guy eating against him, the TV guy did well, barely lost, Youkillus there too.

5 lbs of fries is insane. I can't see anybody eating that, except maybe Andre the giant, but he's dead.

Some of the food looked disgusting.

I can't eat like that, I have trouble finishing a typical restaurant meal, usually bring some home for later, in fact.
