BBQ encore: Richman revisits ‘Man v. Food’ hot spots in ‘Amazing Eats’ TV Media

Food,” which debuted in December 2008 on Travel Channel, followed Richman as he travelled across the country to find the best meals to be had. And while the host’s engaging personality made it entertaining, there’s no denying that a lot of the popularity stemmed from some of the epic eating challenges featured on the show, including a 72-ounce steak in Amarillo and a fiery, ghost pepper-laden burger in San Antonio.
