Man vs. Food marathon

[Az]

Been watching this all night.

Pretty amusing to watch a guy eat 6 full pound steaks, a pound of fries, and a pound of gravy.

I always end up half-heartedly changing the channel during the first 20 minutes though, because it's just Diners, Drive Ins and Dives without quite as big a tool hosting.

I used to love Man v Food but then his mannerism and terrible recycled jokes really leads me to believe the guy has no personality and is just a total slob. I love food shows though. Andrew Zimmerman, Anthony Bordaine, and the ultimate: Alton Brown are the best in the business.

Dude I love that show. He ate the hottest pepper in the world called the ghost pepper on a hamburger the size of his head. That thing has been known to kill people. I can only imagine what he went through that night when he went to "drop off the cosby kids" and nearly spontaniously combusted lol. I'm telling ya, those peppers are over twice as hotter than the habanero. It's insane.

That guy kind of makes me ill.

Yeah I hear ya. It's like he doesn't even enjoy the food when he eats 15 pounds of it.

Which is why I have the utmost respect for Anthony Bourdain. He's a complete bastard, but his appetite and attitude remind me so much of me. He's snarky, incredibly honest, and best of all, really enjoys the experience a great meal provides.

Ha ha ha, Brawndo. Yep, that is what the world will be like in a matter of time (hell, every damn thing nowadays is an advertisement).

This guy is sometimes entertaining to watch, but I agree with you all that he has gotten very bland and repetitive. I used to watch the show all the time (allbeit when nothing else is on), but now I don't.

No Reservations is a way better show, Anthony is very blunt and doesn't lie if the food is horrible. That is something that a lot of people need to be able to take, constructive critisism, and this guy has it. He is a total ass and most of the time gets plastered on camera, which is usually quite entertaining. Another thing about him is that he makes fun of Andrew Zimmern eating bugs all the time. Anyway, all of the shows are pretty good but Anthony is top of my list IMO.

I agree with most of what he's said about fellow reality chefs/travel tasters. He said the Man vs Food guy is going to eat himself to death, Sandra Lee is a hack, and Top Chef (Tom, Gale) is exceptional. The only area in which we disagree is when it comes to Rachel Ray. I really don't mind her that much. Sure, she's incredibly loud and cooks stuff that just about everyone has on hand and can easily master, but I think that's part of her charm. She isn't trying to to win a James Beard award, shes just trying to show the average ****ty cook how to not kill anyone.

It's got electrolytes.

My food show is definitely Iron Chef (original).

AHHH, CUISINE!!!!!!!!

[Jack Straw]

You ever watch Three Sheets? Great show as well

[Aluster]

The foods going to win when his stomach explodes and food enters his body cavity.

[Trystan]

This guy probably takes some massive ****s.

I was thinking that but i wasent about to say it....


****ing LOL

I can't remember the name of the show but I used to watch this show where a chef from the U.S went to different places around the world and had to earn enough money from doing random jobs in a weekend to buy himself a ticket home otherwise he would have to eat some bad messed up local delecacy. That show was awesome.

[Aluster]

Lol that dose sound like a US show haha...

IN ANOTHER COUNTRY EWW cook food to get the **** out of there or your going to have to eat that crap!

[Jay]

Lol... Nah he actually took a very non American approach to it I thought. His whole idea behind it was to learn different foods from around the world to bring back and use in his restaurants in the states... One of the episodes came down to this last place he was working at... He got a job for some really high class guy who was having a party down on a beach with really important rich ass guests and long story short he was about $100 short at the end of it so they put up a challenge... They had some dude there who was the ****tail making champion in whatever country it was (I think it was Sweden) So he had to go against him in a ****tail making contest with a bunch of random stuff to throw in and the guests chose which ****tail tasted best...

He failed.

[Aluster]

Certainly dose sound interesting to bad ya don't remember the name O.o
