Man vs. Food

I don't watch many shows on the travel channel. Actually, I only watch one show on the travel channel. MAN VERSUS FOOD. The premise of the show is simple: The host travels around the country finding all those "hole-in-the-wall", "mom-and-pop", local restaurants that serve over- sized meals and chows them down. It's like a leisurely version of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

Tonight, the host (Adam) went to Seattle and Boston, in two different episodes respectively. In Seattle he tried to tackle a 12 egg omelet packed with chili, salsa, sour creme and cheddar cheese. Here's a pic of the omelet in the making:


Then in the next episode he tried to eat a hamburger with 5 lbs. of meat, 20 slices of cheese, and 20 slices of bacon. And it comes with 5 lbs. of fries.

I can't believe that some of these places actually serve meals this huge. It's funny and sad. BTW, he didn't succeed in either challenge (but i've seen him best other meals). Check it out sometime (but not when you are eating).

Have any of you succeed in an eating challenge?
