The show that makes McDonalds looks like a gym is of course Man Vs. Food. It's presented by Adam Richman, a food fanatic who travels around America to find restaurants which have odd meals and tough challenges.
There's something very addictive about this show, you can sit back, relax and watch a guy talk about food for 30 minutes, what's not to love? As a self-confessed foodie myself, I love the fact that the show is more than just people scoffing mammoth amounts of food, if anything it praises good food made by independent restaurants and gives them much needed publicity.
Now, you do get people saying shows like this are disgusting as eating contests are a bit gross and food should be enjoyed, not force fed for glory, these people have never watched this show. It's so much more than an eating contest for half a hour, the contest is the last five minutes, it looks at incredible food and praises not only the quantity, but the quality too, most of the big foods have either won awards or are locally famous, Richman also meets people who travel miles just for the food, that's commitment!
Sadly, the show has finished, but it still gets played on TV and is developing a loyal fanbase both in the US and UK and has made a star of Adam Richman, who is perfect for the job, he knows how to talk to people and can get people laughing, even if his mouth's on fire or his stomach is close to bursting. So, tasty food and a loveable host makes this show almost perfect and I recommend it to food fans across the globe!
