    This show is awesome i watch it with my family a lot. But it's not a 10 because the middle when he's just talking is pretty boring and when they're making the food is pretty boring. OK the reason why this show is beast is because the end. THE CHALLENGES! The challenges are awesome and hard pounding and my mouths waters all the time just watching it. Overall 8.5/10.

    Great and fun show unless your an uptight negative Nancy like some people in the world..... This show was a nice comedic and juvenile in a good way jolt to the Travel Channels nice but serious tone. Adam elevated the food challenge genera to more than a bunch of fat guys gorging and puking themselves. Adam playing the matured frat boy showed eager excitement for the locale and the challenge each episode. The show was fun and hip and unlike a scripted show Adam didn't win every challenge. If you want something fun and of great quality like most Travel Channel shows are check it out on dvd it'll be like hanging out with a friend and cheering him on each week.moreless

  • The show that single handedly destroyed everything that was good about the Travel Channel.

    I know that a ton of people are going to disagree with me, but I don't care. If you like this show, good for you! Watch it as much as you want, there are plenty of chances.believe me. I, however find this show to be, well.stupid. The show consists of You following this guy who thinks he's funny(but really isn't) and likes to eat around the country as he engorges himself on those food challenges you hear about sometimes. Oh yeah, sometimes you see some local specialties. WOOHOO!! Now that's what I call some fine television! The show is disgusting. You're watching this goofball stuff his face as fast as he can with as much as he can. Along the way, you get to see stuff fall out of his mouth; the saliva, the mucus, the sweat(if it's spicy) and other unknown things. Ironically, this show is more disgusting than Bizarre Foods. At least in that show you have a tolerable host and get to experience some culture. Man V. Food is just.a huge waste of time! Did I mention that this show is on constantly?! The greatest damage that this show has done to a once good network has been the fact that it has opened the gates to even more pointless, food based shows. This is the Travel Channel dang it! I want to see stuff about other places! If I wanted to see stuff about food, I would watch the Food Network. Though I enjoy Bizarre Foods, all of the food shows are beginning to seem like overkill.

    I find Anthony Bourdain, in all of his arrogant, annoying glory, to be a much more tolerable host than Adam Richman and would gladly take an episode of No Reservations any day over this train wreck of a show. Bourdain and Zimmern are quite enough food for the Travel Channel thank you.moreless

    This show as earned its spot on one of my favorite shows out right now. The show follows around very down to earth and likeable host Richman as he tests his stomach against our countrys top food challenges. It can be anywhere from a 72 oz steak to a 12lb Eagles deli challenge. The show doesnt just focus on the challenges at the end of each episode it also shows us two other great pig out spots in each city also. This show will always have you saying there is no way he can eat that which just adds to the suspense. Who will win next time on Man vs. Foodmoreless

  • Man v. Food combines a great host with great creativity in presenting the city of the week. This show deserves a look, even from those not interested in Food Challenges

    Adam Richman is the perfect host for this show. Each week they visit a different city and cover 2 or 3 restaurants that present a unique food-eating challenge, or just "can't miss" food in that city.

    Throughout the show, they smartly weave little tidbits and video shots of the city visited. Adam presents a "behind-the-kitchen door" look of how each dish is prepared, while interacting with the chef/cooks, as well as patrons. Whenever a food challenge is portrayed, Adam usually takes it on, mano al plato, with a other diners sitting nearby. At the end of each show, he does a mock news conference, with other patrons acting as news media, asking questions regarding his performance. The show has the perfect host and is very creative. It deserves a look from everyone, based on the travel aspect, food interests, tourist options, etc.

    The only bad thing I can see with the show? - It's only 30 min long! I could watch the show with a new episode every night for an hour. Here's hoping that the Travel Channel invests in this show long-term.moreless
