Man vs Food

Lately I have been watching the travel channel ALOT! One of my favorite shows airing on this channel is Man vs Food. It's pretty similar to Dinners, Drive Ins and Dives on the Food Network, another great show. In M v F Adam goes to a different city each episode and visits three popular restaurants. One of the restaurants has a food challenge on the menu. In one of the episodes they visited Atlanta. The first two spots were two Atlanta Favorites.....The Vortex (Little 5) and Gladys Knights Chicken and Waffles. The 3rd spot, challenge location, was Big Pie In The Sky in Kennesaw which is home to the Carnivore Pizza. Adam had to team up with a partner to eat this massive 11 Pound Pizza. Yes...11 pounds. I couldn't believe how big it was. the results...they couldn't tame the beast. Some other challenges on the show were a 72 oz Steak and a 4 lb Cheeseburger. Below was the best pic I could find of the Pizza Challenge. Since the pic is more centered on Adam and the M v F Cheerleaders you cant really see the full size of it, but you get the idea.

Best Shows Ever

Im pretty convinced that the Discovery Channel has two of the best shows on TV currently. Jonathon and I watched these shows a couple of weeks back and I cant get enough of them now. These shows are Man vs Wild and Fight Quest.

Man vs Wild - This show is about this insane F*&^ named Bear who tries to teach viewers how to survive the outdoors. The kicker is that unless you are completely crazy and / or insane his advice will not be useful what so ever. Check out the video below about things to eat while caught out in the wild. Look out for the fish 48 seconds in....F'n CRAZY!!!



Fight Quest - This show is about two fighters named Doug and Jimmy. Doug and Jimmy travel the world to learn various fighting styles from around the globe. But Im not sure if it is more of a learning experience or simply two guys to get the S^&* kicked out of them. Any case Doug and Jimmy are two bad A$$ fighters that are getting a chance to experience something most fighters do not. Check out the video below for a look at the last episode in Israel and a couple of clips from other episodes. Look out for the Mortal Kombat Liu Kang kick 12 seconds in. Again F'n CRAZY!!!
