How Did He Do?


The first season of Travel Channel's Man v. Food is complete. The host Adam Richman went to 18 cities (the map shows them. Here's a Google Map). He did 18 food challenges. His record: 11 and 7. He handles heat really well: he was 5 for 5 on heat challenges (Pittsburgh, New York, Portland, LA, San Jose). But at the other end of the spectrum, he did just one cold challenge (milkshakes at Crown Candy Kitchen in St. Louis) and he did not complete it. Mexican food challenges (Austin and Denver) he was 0 for 2. The oyster challenge he completed. Steak and tube steaks, yes. Burgers, no. Sandwiches, yes. Pizza, no. Of the 18 he tried, I've tried two. I am 0-2, he was 1-1.

I have uploaded the first part of Man v. Food in Denver.

Featured here is Duffy's Cherry Cricket in Cherry Creek. For years it is always rated near the top of any best burger in Denver ratings. I do not know why. I base that on our lone visit to the place in 1996 or 1997. Maybe that was due to all the cigarette smoke. With the smoking ban in most public places in Colorado, we'll go back soon and try it again...
