Man versus Food

I'd have a crack at some of the burgers and the bbq'd meats..

But the really hot chilli ones etc - no way Jose.

Sheer gluttony if you can do the burger or pizza challenges; totally agree about the chilli ones

it's a way of life and all the practice he gets

No way. I feel full now and I've only had a McD's Chicago supreme and lattice fries.

He has a naturally large appetite and the day before a challenge, he eats nothing and drinks milk which stretches the stomach. The day after a challenge, he does a massive jog and workout to burn it off.

If I attempted some of the challenges the day after i would have a cardiac arrest

my auntie went over to the states some years ago to see my grandad, he said it wasn't worth taking them to a diner for breakfast as they would only eat one steak

He had a crack at a 12 egg omelette with tons of fixins etc, he hit 'the wall' and had to stop with two forkfuls left.
He tried taking a break but was literally full, I'd always think you could fit at least one more forkful in somewhere but he was actually full to the brim.

New series Man V Food Nation is on Food Network channel. Think it just started tonight

He will die young.

(like the bloke though, a natural presenter)

Why will he die young?

He does this for a TV show. His ratio of giant junk meals compared to much healthier meals is actually quite small.

Besides, he's given them up now. He just eats normally.

Because he is a fat binge eater.

he did throw up during one challenge,i think it was drinking so many milkshakes

I'd be the same. I couldn't do any of the challenges but the sick inducing ones would worry me the most.
He had to eat a bucket of gelloto? the once and succeeded. How could you hold something that sweet in that volume down?

Is it morally right when so many children are starving in the world?

I have a massive appetite but he's another level.  Would happily have a go at most of the challenges but the hot wings or chilli ones are out of the question

have they repeated the episode where the chef has to cook a curry in a gas mask because of the heat?

gambling?

I'd give em a good go.  I can eat like a proper American if I'm in the mood.  Once smashed a large Chips + battered sausage from the local chippy and 15 mins after dealt with a chicken vindaloo, pilau rice and Keema Naan.  Hit the spot rather nicely.  Also ate a 1kg bar of galaxy in under 15 minutes once :/

I can eats loads. I`m not overly big and carry my weight well. I would fancy myself on most of his challenges . Perhaps we could organise a forum challenge.

love this program

the guy is a beast.  i can eat up to about 3-4k calories after working out but the hot stuff i would struggle with

im indian and would love to try the hot stuff,i dont think i would have any problem with it

the indian stuff tends to repeat on you tho.

i would do any of the hot ones nothing is to hot for me

1.01 i could do the salt beef reuben sarnie

the rest...no chance

24 dozen oysters and a pizza the size of a fecking table

anyone seen the fish sandwich one?

Did anyone see the one where he failed to eat an absolutely gigantic burrito, and then Joey Chestnut came in and done it in about 3 mins?

Here it is if you haven't seen it. Chestnut is even crazier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVlvQMXQQAw

That is feckin unbelievable ^^

On the other hand, how many days without any food before they're crying for mummie like babies?


Man vs NO food. domain of the real hard cases.

the size of the portions that he tries before the challenge would be enough for me

How the fK ????!!!

This guy has some insane videos http://www.youtube.com/user/furiouspete123

anyone seen the fish sandwich one?

Yes Redbag and probably one which i would never be able to manage. It looked very starchy and dry bread would be a killer. No fun in that one.

No fun in that one ; as much as i love my food i honestly don't think there would be much fun in any of his challenges

'the indian stuff tends to repeat on you tho.'

Quite like it when he goes to the restaurants/cafes and looks at the food they serve and the people behind it but not really keen on watching the challenges.  A bit too 'American' for my liking.

i love the one where he wipes the sweat from his brow with the same napkin he used to wipe the chilli concoction from his chin

I could easily survive for two days on that burito, the thing weighed 5 kilos

I spent three weeks on an all inclusive in Mexico during Summer break, obviously the place was mobbed with Americans. Never have I seen appetites like it, they were eating non stop. They queue for the midnight beach bbq had all of them out in force and the same people were there at 7.00 am for the breakfast buffet, incredible scenes.

To be fair the Brits, Dutch and Germans took over the bars, they couldn't match the Europeans in the drinking department not by a long shot.

the carnegie deli in the mirage vegas has the most monstrous sarnies ive ever seen...they are like tower blocks

tuna chilli one on now

why does he never take his coat off?

because he is a fat fat fatty

he isn't going to make it past 40

his arteries must be fecked

Just pinged the 5 pound cheese melt, may have found out why the aussies call cheese bung-hole
