We here at Bites were surprised with
the fervor that you guys tracked Adam Richman around town in Marchwhen he was filming segments for his new show Man v. Food Nation. We won't specifically use the word stalker, but you know what you did. ...
The episode airs at 8 p.m. Wednesday. We haven't seen it yet, but based on the synopsis, the show's "Nashville travel guide" and two slideshows posted here and here on the Travel Channel site, it looks like it includes visits to Prince's Hot Chicken Shack and Rooster's Texas-Style BBQ and Steakhouse. The "Funny Moments in Nashville" clip reel also features Nashville's venerable Pancake Pantry.
The concept of the new show is that rather than just taking on the ridiculously huge portions or insanely spicy foods himself, Richman now uses his 59 episodes of experience to coach amateurs as they attempt to tackle these gastronomic challenges.
At Rooster's, he served as adviser to country duo LoCash Cowboys as they tackled "The Roost Challenge": That's a 72-ounce sirloin, a large baked potato, two slices of Texas toast and a big salad, and it's not like they shared the plate. As Dana pointed out in her recap of the event, that's nine pounds of meat between the two of them!
