Wednesday's Challenge (Austin, TX): 8 huge breakfast tacos at Juan in a Million

[WakingTheMisery]

For some reason I saw the title and knew you made the thread.

[AP_Punk]

i wonder if he gets his stomach pumped after each competition.

[slickwataris]

What happened. He only finished 4 and a quarter tacos. For those counting, he's 3 for 5 this season.

He's going to Chicago next episode :-)

[Miss Heartcore]

I worked on this show for a bit :-)

[IcedOpethBlind]

I love this show..and adam is adorable.

[slickwataris]

I worked on this show for a bit :-)
Awesome! What did you do?

[Miss Heartcore]

Awesome! What did you do?
Well the company I used to work for produces this show. One of the main producers is a guy named Dan who I was closest with at the company so I went with him to create the video to pitch the show. We shot for almost 10 hours at various restuarants.

While I was finishing up another show, I would help with wardrobe selections and travel options. Also, I created this thread for ideas:
http://absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=547871

I love Adam and miss him so much. He was great to hang out with.

[slickwataris]

Adam won again tonight! Three 1.5 pound overstuffed sandwiches in 25 minutes! I really want to go to Lucky's now. Maybe I can get my picture on the wall next to Adam ;-)

Sounds like my dream job, traveling the country eating food. Adam's hilarious.

[ESundy36]

I watched a few episodes of it this evening and this show is great. I would love to get a job where I go around eating food.

[djUbilla]

I'm going to have to start TiVoing this. Looks highly enjoyable.

[eraserhead]

Hahaha. Sounds gross and entertaining.

[AP_Punk]

Hahaha. Sounds gross and entertaining.

[slickwataris]

Chalk up another win for...FOOD!?!

I can't believe "Man Too" spewed all over the wall :lol:

haha, he's totally going to lose

[slickwataris]

mQfv1Bh05Ks

at least he's trying something different

[popdisaster00]

Decent show but I have to speculate that it was merely created to battle with Triple D

[slickwataris]

And the winner is MAN! I like how the chef used a gas mask when preparing the curry, lol.

Guy is an insanely huge DOUCHE bag but I love him anyway.

[Chemical Love]

I'm sorry but I can't stand Adam. He's such a tool. The show would be much better with a different host.

[lindZ629]

I just caught this for the first time yesterday, and that breakfast taco looked so good. Today it's being aired from 6 on, so I'm definitely going to catch up. It seems pretty entertaining.

[batmannj]

i find this show to be pretty entertaining. i wanna go that eagle place and try that 12 pound burger lol

thanks dude!

[cakecontroller]

I have never seen one where he finishes the food.

[Machu505]

Makes me hungry.

[slickwataris]

I have never seen one where he finishes the food.
Amarillo (72oz steak plus extras), Pittsburgh (atomic wings), Columbus (Dagwood and fries), Chicago (3 sandwiches and fries), New York (curry)...

more than half of the episodes that aired :-)

[cakecontroller]

I saw a pizza one, a hamburger one and a sandwich one that he didn't finish. I guess I'll have to keep watching, ha.

[Teesy]

my roomate and I will be attempting the Dagwood challenge at some point in the next couple weeks.. I'm not optimistic at my chances but should be a good time.i

[Dirty Ernie]

Love this show. And there are about 50 things he could have done in Philly, surprised he didn't come here.

[Teesy]

I waannnaaaaa.


jeff's doing it for this documentary we have to make in english, so im gonna do it with him, not sure when tho jabroni. we could set it up for a weekend if u really wanna join

[slickwataris]

xA1nAwwwAHE

[AtlanticRadio]

What the fuck is that hand signal he does all the time? It's fucking lame. Aside from that, the show really entertains me.

[lindZ629]

Yeah he only had about 2 bites left, I don't get why he just gave up like that. Yeah he reached his wall, but I don't think those last bites would've been that painful.

[slickwataris]

Adam went so long without spewing, who would've guessed milkshakes would do him in.

[TK]

This show always make me so fucking hungry...

[AP_Punk]

my stomach didn't feel good while watching him drink all those shakes last night.

Special guest appearance by Andrew Zimmern this is going to be awesome!!!

[Montauk1222]

oh geez are him and Zimmern going to battle?

[slickwataris]

Man vs. Bizarre Foods!

Nothing too weird. Just pig cheek, ears, and lutefisk.

I'm pretty sure this was the season finale. The Jucy Lucy looked so good!

[slickwataris]

Adam's on Jay Leno tomorrow.

[slickwataris]

Season 2 starts in August.

[slickwataris]

[Miss Heartcore]

It's entertaining, but what was the pitch for this show? "There's this big guy, right, and he goes around and eats a lot of food."

[whoaisame]

This show rules. I'm on a bit a of a diet lately so watching this show is hell but amazing nonetheless.

New season starts Wednesday!

[deadkidsean]

omgomgomgom WEDNESDAY!

[deadkidsean]

[anthonydarko]

I watched a marathon of this over the weekend and I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to see what challenges he does this season.

[deadkidsean]

9 MlNUTES!

[IcedOpethBlind]

this is like the 3rd or 4th episode in Texas, haha

[deadkidsean]

I honestly can't believe he did it. That was the most I've ever seen him struggle, especially on the first bite!

[IcedOpethBlind]

i think some of it was show, he did loook like he was about to die after that first bite lol

[deadkidsean]

Well yeah, that's just Adam, haha. Good episode, though. That pizza = do f'n waaaant.

[lindZ629]

I'll split that pizza with you Sean! We each get a half, I think we could do it.

[deadkidsean]

Haha, okay!

I've said this before, but I I honestly think I could do the carnivore challenge from last season. Idk, maybe I'm crazy, but I think I could.

[slickwataris]

I need to skip work on Wednesdays. Watching now...

[Until The Bombs]

You can just jump in. Not sure of where you can find it though. I've recently started watching it by streaming my netflix to my 360.

[IcedOpethBlind]

watching this pancake challenge, crazy

gonna be amazed if he does it

[slickwataris]

MANCAKES!

x

[IcedOpethBlind]

he didnt beat it though :(

[deadkidsean]

haha i was skyping my girlfriend and we were watching it together and for like 60% of the episode i was chanting MANCAKES MANCAKES and her roommates were getting mad at me. it was awesome.

[slickwataris]

Another ghost chili challenge?


And he was down after 2 wings. hahaha. Shortest challenge ever.

[IcedOpethBlind]

probably a "mystery" since he's already done that similar challenge... oh well. what a letdown haha.

[IcedOpethBlind]

Adam talks about the hardest challenge he's ever faced, the Mystery Challenge at Munchies 420 Cafe, in this vlog entry: http://bit.ly/1JF5Cw


surprising this was a tough one for him considering he did a similiar challenge with ease (if i remember correctly)...

[slickwataris]

I didn't expect an actual challenge tonight. This is the first huge burger he's finished.

Can't wait for Springfield next week (third time in Illinois!)

[CellarGhosts]

Love this show.

[fluke182]

He was in Alaska last night and I high fived him as went to attempt eating 7 crab cakes, 1 foot of reindeer sausage, 3 lb of crab, sides and dessert in 90 min. I couldn't stay to watch the challenge and no word as to whether or not he finished. I can confirm that I went to the bathroom right next to him and he did not wash his hands! Heyoooo!

[slickwataris]

Just got Season 1 in the mail. The listing on amazon is wrong, it includes all 18 episodes. Bonus features include TV spots, deleted scenes and the awesome World's Best Places To Pig Out special.

Springfield episode was epic. I'll have to check out the horseshoe the next time I'm in the state's capital.

bump

been watching this the last few days. never had so much fun watching someone eat like a disgusting pig.

[deadkidsean]

There's nothing disgusting about what Adam does. It is simply art.

[CellarGhosts]

Word. That episode I saw last week where he had like, six of those hot wings and he could only eat two of them looked intense, haha. Especially the way he was reacting even long after finishing them.

[MyNameIsRoss]

I didn't mean disgusting in a derogatory way.

[deadkidsean]

I didn't mean disgusting in a derogatory way.
Just bustin' your balls dude, haha. It's such an awesome show.

[MyNameIsRoss]

it's pretty incredible.

[Genuma]

he must take the most amazing shits after these challenges.

[alboneceleste]

Totally want to head to Annapolis, MD to Chick & Ruth's and have a collossal (sp?) milkshake. Would need to split it with like 3 other people tho, possibly more. 6 lbs!

[slickwataris]

he can't be serious

[IcedOpethBlind]

lol that doesnt even look real

[CellarGhosts]

lol that doesnt even look real
Haha, seriously.

("I'm Alright Today" = :thumbup:)

[FueledByRock]

It is not possible for one person to eat that. It's that simple.

[MyNameIsRoss]

haha RIP Adam

[slickwataris]

If you slow down the video around 0:21 , you'll notice 2 other people at the table. Take that as you will.

[IcedOpethBlind]

190 lb. burger tonight, will be tits

[deadkidsean]

It is not possible for one person to eat that. It's that simple.
duh...............

[anthonydarko]

Adam cannot beat that unless he truely is the king of fatties.

[argg_xo]

Huge burger is from a bar 5 minutes from my house!


/not too swt brag

[MyNameIsRoss]

Missed the giant burger episode, damn

[slickwataris]

Well, obviously he lost, but at least he competed with 39 other people.

[sweetforever]

I've recently fallen in love with this show.

[MyNameIsRoss]

I figured there would be a lot more people haha. Still...190/40 = 4.75 pounds per person..

[songydarko]

Fucking love this show. Makes me love food even more than I did before. My boyfriend and I always end up watching this together. It's on 24/7, not complaining about that one.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

I love this show, definately wanna go try some of the places he eats at...the food always looks so good (minus some of the challenges)

I don't get how this dude isn't a whale though.. he should definately be bigger then he is!

[MyNameIsRoss]

That's what I was thinking, he probably doesn't eat like that on a regular basis though.

[slickwataris]

Back in Brooklyn:

I honestly don't remember watching the original challenge...

[CellarGhosts]

The chili dogs he tried last night looked great. Made me so hungry for one, haha.

[Miss Heartcore]

Back in Brooklyn:

7nsE6gpegeQ


I honestly don't remember watching the original challenge...
Did they even air that episode?? Pretty sure that's what we taped for the original pitch of the show.

[IcedOpethBlind]

hmm, it wasnt in Season 1...they did visit New York for the hot curry dishes or whatever..

[Miss Heartcore]

We shot at around 6 locations in Brooklyn and that wing place was one of them. However, that "episode" was just used to be edited into a montage/pilot that would be used to pitch the show. It came out really good, I would I could get a hold of it...

[slickwataris]

Did they even air that episode?? Pretty sure that's what we taped for the original pitch of the show.
It probably was. I double checked the episode guide and he never went to Brooklyn. He did win a 6 wing challenge in Pittsburgh though. Hopefully they'll put the pilot on the Season 2 DVD as an extra.

[slickwataris]

Nice to see him demolish the suicide 6 wing challenge. Crab challenge in Anchorage next week:

Came in here to say this. Between the spicy challenges and the massive quantity challenges...holy shit. No pun intended.

[Genuma]

Came in here to say this. Between the spicy challenges and the massive quantity challenges...holy shit. No pun intended.
totally agreed, he puts some weird stuff and a lot of stuff into his body and he's not that big so the shits must be.

[wall e]

I watched a marathon on TV once, and I was starving by the end of it. Then I went downstairs and all we had was fucking peanut butter and jelly. Worst meal of my life.

[fightinirish217]

[showmethefever]

Went to one of the places he visited in Seattle, The Crab Pot, today for lunch. There was also a lady who looked liked Sweet Dee being Martina Martinez at the table next to us.

[Bryant]

Gonna checkout 2 places he went to in Cleveland. I can't wait for the Indy episode cuz I dunno what the hell there is to eat around here.
