Food

I am anal ...

That sounds a bit shite to me.

Nice spread on kippers.

There are msny things that I'll happily spread, but no that.

I'll just leave this here

Man vs. Food never fails to make me hungry no matter how disgusting some of the things he eats are

Only a matter of time. It annoys me that he's kind of a known celebrity in the states when he's actually just a fat guy eating for a living

All this sous-vide crap is boring as shit now. I don't consider it to be proper cooking at all.

man, i love man vs food. i have the entire output recorded.

i generally turn off or skim though the eating challenges which just make me feel queasy but the first half of every episode where he visits independant eateries and sandwhich shops is usually pretty awesome.

yeah sometimes it's just a pile of grease and "american cheese" but mainy the type of places he visits i'd give my right arm to have access to. Here's a couple that I remember being particularly jealous of:

Black Sheep in richmond VA: http://www.theblacksheeprva.com/downloads/ToGo_July2011.pdf

Dinic's in Phillidelphia: http://www.readingterminalmarket.org/merchants/view/56

Strouds in KC: http://www.stroudsrestaurant.com/menu_north.html

Loads more i can't remember right now. No one does barbeque like Americans and theres' been some cracking looking places on there. And the seafood in Maine looked amazing.

I like the big pig out part of the episode where they show all the stupidly American portions of burgers and shit. Some of it looks hideous but some of it makes me drool.
But have to agree with Tiswas the challenge part of the show ruins the enjoyment of eating food, but I guess that's the American way bigger is better. I love the fact that he stops whilst stuffing his face to comment on the texture of the super mega pile of shit on his plate

ha! yeah this ^. you can tell he's hating most of these challenges. i guess because most of them ar eat the disgusting piles of grease end of things.

the long island seafood one looked great though. and i still dig the first part of each ep. he doen't annoy me at all.

The huge challenges are pretty gross, but the ones where he has to eat the 5 hot wings, or the ten tuna and wraps with the increasingly hot sauces, are pretty good

It's all about the big fucking meaty burgers or the one breakfast place in Vegas. I personally think all the challenges are stupid. It ruins the food because they're all excessively big or spicy etc. Like the 5 wings with the ghost chilli syrup was dumb. Each to their own

Only a matter of time. It annoys me that he's kind of a known celebrity in the states when he's actually just a fat guy eating for a living

fat head from masterchef?

Anyone?

All this sous-vide crap is boring as shit now. I don't consider it to be proper cooking at all.

Have you done it? what was it like?

No, and I'm not certain I've ever eaten it anywhere. May well have done though. All I mean is I'm fed up of seeing it - it's become routine. There's more technique in precisely using proper heat to correctly cook a product than using a water-bath. Now it's a novelty trick. Nothing beats searing/roasting anyway.

I've eaten veg and a few other things (a few pieces of fish as well I think) cooked that way and it's all been delicious, it's just a different technique of cooking while keeping all the original goodness in.

He calls himself a food fanatic.

No, you're not.

A food fan would not treat eating like a competition.

What you are is a glutton, with a serious eating disorder.

And you're a twat.

And after everything I said about Man vs. Food I'm actually tempted

6lb of bun? Bun dat.

Ok. Black turtle beans.
Other than black bean sauce anyone got any awesome recipe tips? They're into soak now.

Ask Murtle.

The first time I ever saw that show it was about ice cream. He was banging on about the 'ultimate ice cream' while watching some guy add food colouring and artificial flavouring to a massive vat.

Absolute crock of shit.

I would fuck him in a game of food.

well i think it's fun so balls to you lot.

mrs is making dark chocolate and cherry cookies tonight. oh my.
