Man V. Food: 2nd Season

[collven]

So who watched the premiere last night? I'm so glad the show is back.

I've never seen him take a bite of something and sit for 6 minutes before taking a 2nd bite. I've also never seen him say something was terrible, although, I know he was just talking about how bad the pain was. I really didn't think he was going to finish that burger, so I was impressed when he did.

The cinnamon roll and pizza looked good too. I prefer my pizza without all the veggies though, so I would have to try it with the meat only.

I was impressed that Adam was able to down that spicy pepper burger in the season premiere last night. After that first bite, I didn't think he could do another.

Those cinnamon rolls were insane. I can't imagine ordering that, even with 3 other people.

[Tsar Chasm]

I figure that was probably his hardest success, he was certainly runnning out of time.

Last weekend, Mrs. Tsar Chasm and I went to Salvador Mollys for lunch, some guy was trying the habenero fritter challenge from last year. He didn't make it. Said it was the hottest thing he'd ever eaten. On the wall was the picture of some guy that ate 33 of them. I bet he was crapping pure fire the next morning.

I like a little spice in my food, but I truly think such people are truly insane. The volume challenges aren't as big a deal, since you can always hurl afterwards and be done with it. Like you said, it's not only the pain going in, but the pain going out.

At least Adam gets paid to do it so he's not quite as insane.

My wife and I want to go get one of the those Cinnamon Rolls and the next time we get downtown we will.

... but if I go to Bucky's, I'm just going to get a normal burger. Those looked good too.

[starseed1981]

That burger looked absolutley brutal!

[Bluelitespecial]

Adam really needs to bring MvF to Kansas City.

[CaptStormy]

I love this show.

That's the part that always worries me. It's not the eating that would make me afraid, it's what happens once you leave the table that would make me hesitate with most of these challenges. But that's when the show ends. I once ate some insanely hot salsa in Mexico and had no trouble eating it at all, but hours later during that night rolled over in my sleep and it woke me up like a gunshot to the stomach.

Well, the show is Man V. Food, Not Man V. Crapper.

Though that might not be a bad idea for a new show...

[Blu Man]

I DVR'd it but for some reason it stopped recording after 8 minutes.

[collven]

I think, especially for the spicy challenges, he loads up on Pepto and or milk before he eats to try and coat his stomach, at least a little bit.

I wonder about his mouth as well. Anything that requires gloves to even handle would probably cause burns in his mouth.

[Original Desmond]

i love this show too

Man there are some places with ridiculous helpings of food

Those giant cinamon buns were insane ! they would only be edible fresh though

[RobLutter]

When I worked in downtown San Antonio we used to go to Lulu's at least once a week for their incredible chicken fried steak.

It's like $7 on weekdays for a steak as big as your head with mashed potatoes, green beans, and a roll. They also have some killer burgers including a double decker with fresh avocado and bacon, yuuuum.

That said, the place should be shut down because the dining room is sickeningly dirty and I would never enter their bathroom. But the food makes up for that, lol.

Never tried one of their cinnamon buns but I always stared at them in shock. Supposedly they have a "nugget" of cinnamon and butter in the very middle that afficionados pull out and eat first, at least according to the menu.

Any Austinites ever notice the frequency he wears his Amy's Ice Creams t-shirt? (it's the black one with red writing) Mainly because it's awesome, lol. I swear with the amount of shows he dedicates to Texas (3 shows now?) it's hard to imagine he's a New Yorker.

[Lurker Gal]

I'm really surprised that Adam even made it through the challenge. You could tell when he paused after the first bite he was in a lot of pain. I can't even imagine the damage that's been inflicted on his insides from those chili peppers. And btw, what the hell is a ghost chili? I never even heard of it before, well besides the one other time in the Boston episode of MvF at that restaurant that had Hell Week.

[cliffzig]

We decided to go to Chunky's last night. The place was a lot smaller than I had pictured, a bit of a dive. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing!

Anyway, I had the avocado burger which was delicious. No way would I have the stones to try that horseman. Anyway, these 2 dudes came in and each ordered the four horseman burgers. ($15.99 per order mind you.)

Poor guys got thru one bite each! I could feel their pain as I watched as sweat was pouring down their faces! I asked them how it was, and they just said, "This burger is just unedible."

Wait, that burger costs $16???? Is that the regular price for their burgers? Ive never been but Im not paying that retarded ass price!

Was the place packed? I hate when these damn shows come to town. Than they get packed with morons who think these places are 'special' It ruined a place I liked to go to. It wasnt the best food, but not worth standing in lines for now.

[CKMorpheus]

Most of the burgers are in the $4-$6 range. I asked the owner why the Horseman was so much, he said it's the Ghost Chile. Says those run $75/pound.

The place wasn't packed, and there were only about 12 tables inside. We went on a Tuesday at 6pm and there were 2 open tables.

I almost thought he was going to pull off eating that burrito. When I saw how big it was, I figured there was no chance, but he put up a good fight.

How big was the burrito from the first season that Joey Chestnut ate?

Just watched that one the other day - 17 inches long and 5 1/4 pounds.

[dgmayor]

Supposedly my wife's friend will be in the Durham NC one. She's a bellydancer, so if there's a brunette belly dancer in it, that's her (Andy).

[Original Desmond]
