Steve’s Gyros – Cleveland, OH

      I made the 30 minute drive up to Steve’s Gyros, located inside Cleveland’s iconic West Side Market, after taking an exam – a great way to start a Saturday, might I add.  Snarf, snarf.      For those have never been to or heard of West Side Market, it is a massive marketplace with dozens…

Triple Atomic Wings Challenge – Pittsburgh, PA Challenge

    I would like to start this off by saying that I have attempted this challenge multiple times, and I have passed it multiple times.  I even have some Atomic Sauce in my fridge at home.  However, I can’t recall taking many photos of the challenge itself, so you’ll just have to take my word…

Hot Sauce Williams – Cleveland, OH

   First off, I’d like to say that I’m not a fan of the state many areas of Cleveland are in.  I am kinda shocked that Adam Richman would visit someplace in such a run-down neighborhood for his show.  This looked like it should not be a place where a popular restaurant is anchored. Hot…

Voodoo Doughnut – Portland, OR

     Talk about an interesting doughnut shop.  I saw this place on Man v. Food, and it seemed like the greatest place ever.  Since I was in Portland – one of my all-time favorite cities – , I decided to check it out.      It was roughly 5:30 pm on June 30, 2010 when I…

The Melt Challenge – Cleveland, OH Challenge

     Let me be clear: I LOVE Melt Bar and Grilled.  I visited their restaurant in Lakewood – their original – the day Man v. Food aired their Cleveland episode.  It was packed, and I was plastered (for whatever reason, I remembered Adam’s speech at the end of the episode).  It also helped that the…

Could Akron Be Featured on Man v. Food Nation?

     After one failed YouTube upload and one awesome trip to Primo’s Deli for lunch, I finally uploaded my casting call video from Man v. Food Nation (the name for the 4th season of Man v. Food, perhaps?).      I ad libbed the whole thing, so I was unable to really say everything I wanted…

Primanti Bros. – Pittsburgh, PA

     I was driving on my way from Akron to the DC area to visit my friend, who lives near a college I’m checking out for graduate school.  A city along the way is Pittsburgh, so I decided to make a stop at one of the two places I’ve yet to eat at:  Primanti Bros.…

Akron Blimp Burger – Akron, OH Challenge (Non-MVF Division)

     So I went to Pints today, since they are a bar right on the main bar strip next to the University of Akron (Marc had work).  This actually goes back to a drinking binge I had here Friday night, where I found that they had a challenge hidden in their menu.  Their challenge was…

Introduction

     In case you haven’t figured it out yet, this is a blog dedicated to the show Man v. Food – well, somewhat. We are actually two people from the Akron, OH area on a quest to visit every place Adam Richman from the aforementioned show visits. It would be weak and pointless if we…
