Man V. Food: 2nd Season - Page 6

The Baltimore visit was better than DC. O'Brycki's is a Bal'mer institution. I've only been there once. Never had the crab cakes - odd that they don't use any mayo or mustard in it. I also prefer broiled to fried. My favorite places for crab cakes are: 1) G&M Restaurant (near BWI airport) and 2) Faidley's (in Lexington Market).

But it's good that he ate steamed crabs - that's quintessential Maryland.

Baltimore has a lot of good pit beef joints, although I had never heard of that particular place. Looked really good though.

Never heard of the steak place but that's because it's well outside of Baltimore - near the Delaware border. I was surprised he failed the challenge - that one looked easier than the Texas steak challenge he conquered.

I liked the gal in the red top. She was just about falling out of her shirt when she gave Adam the kiss

I was also surprised that he failed the challenge. He tore through the Big Texan one in about 1/2 an hour, and this was only 2 more ounces. Maybe different cuts of meat made it harder. I think he should have saved the filet for last, since it was the most tender cut.

Yeah, the lady in red was nice. You know Adam gets a lot of action on the road, although, he probably never feels like going out after his challenge nights.

Yes, as I was watching, I was very surprised he went for that first rather than last. I figured these cuts for the most part (such as the filet, ribeye and prime rib) would be more tender than that hunk of meat he ate in Texas.

Chap's is the best in B-more!... located right next to a strip club. Anyone else notice the Carcetti for Mayor t-shirt Adam was wearing at Chap's? You would have had to watch The Wire to know the reference.

I'm looking forward to the Detroit episode but even though I was born and raised there I've never even heard of any of these places save for the coneys.

Oh come on they can't print that.

I don't know. Was a big fan of the show early on but some of these challenges are eye rollin'. I'm more interested in the local cuisine and restaurants than his challenges. As the show goes on, more and more of the challenges looks like something Adam has already done before.

Red Dog · 11-05-09, 08:45 AM

That massive burger was disgusting. Why would anyone want to eat that (I guess to get on tv)? This was a lame episode. Wasn't impressed by that pork sandwich. The Chili dog war was mildly interesting.

NiCK Crush · 11-05-09, 01:14 PM

I thought the pork sandwich looked good.

Bluelitespecial · 11-05-09, 02:47 PM

The one challenge I tought was gross was in Hawaii, and those four pounds of Pancakes.

Deftones · 11-05-09, 08:59 PM

yeah, that challenge was retarded. 2 of the 4 restaurants featured in this episode were opened less than 4 years ago.
