It’s weird because people think the biggest guys are the biggest eaters, but fat doesn’t expand as much as muscle, so you want someone with a big frame who can expand. Adam Richman Read Quote
I remember my late father, who was the biggest football fan I have ever known, used to stress when I was younger that, win or lose, you always have to compete with honor. Adam Richman Read Quote
My most memorable food challenge was probably the Big Texan in Amarillo. All the big executives called me because it was such an iconic challenge, and a victory in that would be a legitimizing device for myself as much as for the show. Adam Richman Read Quote
The Travel Channel had success with their ‘Food Paradise’ series, ’10 Best Places to Pig Out’ and those types of specials, so they knew there was a market for comfort food and wanted to develop a show around it. Adam Richman Read Quote
I love that you can pick up your phone at a hotel and have something to eat in your bed. I love home, but there are amenities at a hotel that you simply don’t have at home. Adam Richman Read Quote
These $40 burgers with foie gras and truffles and all of that flies in the face of one of the most proletarian foods around. It’s overpriced, overdone and just not worth it. Adam Richman Read Quote
There’s no way that I could have known about a 72-oz. steak challenge in Amarillo unless thousands upon thousands of locals and travellers alike had attempted it. I guess if ‘Man V Food’ is me paying homage to these legends, then I suppose ‘Man V Food Nation’ is the legacy. Adam Richman Read Quote
If you do a quantity challenge, the problem you’d face would be a starchy challenge. If it has a lot of potatoes, a lot of bread or fried elements, that’s difficult. With heat challenges, challenges that use the whole pepper are much, much easier than ones that use pepper extract. That’s concentrated, and also devoid of flavour. It’s just heat.

There is no right way to go on an edible journey. You can never tell what is going to be great, so you have to try everything. If you become doctrinaire about sticking to lowbrow foods or epicurean delights, your just being an extremist, and it won’t do you any good. Adam Richman Read Quote
