I LOVE this program! Just watching the Baltimore episode where he is attempting to eat 5 steaks.....what a loon!

Any other MvF fans in CL land?

    Yep, love it. Always makes me hungry though!

    Though I know from it I must never move to America, or I'd be one of those people they need to take the roof off for and airlift out their house to have their jaw wired shut.

    Think it helps Adam Richman is very likeable, or you'd possibly sit there going "Oh my God, you fat git! Errrrrr!"

    If anyone is interested, some bloke has started to list UK challenges:

    Or I noticed that German pub someone said they went to after Fulham did one:

    I would love an English version of this although I don't think it would be as good as the places don't seem to be as wacky. Always makes me incredibly hungry even though I know I would never be able to finish any of the challenges.

    I absolutely love it

    He's not even that big bearing in mind how much he can eat.

    Without fail, it makes me hungry

    Me and my girlfriend absolutely love it and are actually planning to visit some of the places in California that are on the show when we go there in the summer!

    Apparently he starves himself for 24 hours prior to a challenge and when he's not filming he follows a strict exercise regime!

    I really like the show, think he only did 2 seasons anyway due to the health risks. The latest ones he challenges members of the public to complete the challenges

    Proud member of the Brick Lane Curry House winners wall (new york city season two). also enjoyed a cheese steak at tony lukes tho I didn't have the guts (literally) to attempt the 5lb challenge.

    Man v food nation is also now on uk tv, think its food network or summat. will check. its a fourth season with the twist that adam coaches a local to try the challenge.

    It's a good job nobody else is hungry in the world.

    Agree.

    I'm far from a socialist but find the whole concept grotesque when there are people dying of starvation on a daily basis around the globe.

    Im a fan, some of the sandwiches look fantastic, and the ribs! Dont mind admitting to watching it, its only TV and good value for half an hour, some of the chilli things look a little rough, makes me want to visit Brooklyn and have a slice of pie...

    Why do some on here have to try to put a downer on everything?

    It's a TV programme, as in entertainment, that wouldn't make the slightest difference to world hunger.

    I suppose you have never had to throw food away that you can't eat.

    How do you know if Adam Richman does or dosen't give money to the starving around the world.

    It's a TV programme, enjoy it for what it is or don't watch it.

    By the way I think it's brilliant.

    I did watch it - and I didn't enjoy it.
    Personally, I found it a bit nauseating.

    But that's just my opinion.
    Each to their own - so I'm pleased for you that you thought it brilliant.

    Sorry, Southampton .....just read my post again, the final line is a bit caustic.
    Wasn't meant to seem so personal.

    But it wasn't my cup of tea.
  • I love the programme and I love Adam Richman. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness !!

    i watch this on HD, when you see his sweat rolling down his cheeks you feel his pain. what a great job though, reckon he would die if he did any more shows though.
