Man vs Food

Has anyone ever seen the program Man vs Food? This guy goes to a different American city every episode and eats some of their signature dishes before taking on a local food challenge at the end of every episode. The stuff he eats is ridiculous, the challenge always involves eating a mountain of food, or eating something insanely spicy. The strangest thing is he's not even that fat! Here is a video of him taking on the 'Big Texan Challenge'. Crazy Americans...

This looks incredible! I'd love to win an eating competition.

Not sure about incredible, it's gruesome. There really is no need for it.

The steak is also quite rare, but that's another subject... eurgh!!

Hmm I'm not so sure about this... it makes me feel a bit sick? I feel a bit uneasy watching people scoff to this extent when there are people starving in the world. Kill joy!

Why do people do this????

Kill the joy or scoff their faces?

The latter... this is beyond eating, it's just a ridiculous form of self abuse. I suppose it's the logical conclusion of the typical attitude towards food in the States, or at least what I encountered. 

It is self abuse, you're right! That must be so harmful to your body having to digest all that meat! We're not cave men any more!

Just had a bit more of a read about him, apparently this is how he isn't extremely fat:

That is nothing compared to Epic Meal Time, who put bacon and Jack Daniels with everything. It's pretty nasty.

Now, I love both those things, but not to that extent!

Jack Daniels goes well with anything!

Best show on TV, makes me feel hungry! I have my own Man vs. Food challenege tonight. 32oz steak, going to be epic.

Really?! It does the complete opposite for me- makes me feel sick!

my employees think i should go on man v's food!!! they think there is no match for my monster appetite!!

What kind of things do you eat in a normal day?

I'd love to enter a food eating competition, always reminds of Monica on Friends when she talks about winning that pie eating comp.

running on a stuffed tummy is the sport I'm mostly trained for...unluckily it seems I can't avoid binging the day before a marathon, it's a misstep I keep on reiterating

i work in a bakery, even worse im the manager so everything is fair game!!! gotta try it all to make sure it is ok. lol if it stays still then i eat it................

Perks of the job, nice Do you think you could manage this pancake challenge?
