What happens

Man v. Food is an American food reality television series that premiered on December 3, 2008 on the Travel Channel. The original program ran for four seasons, until April 11, 2012, and was hosted by actor and food enthusiast Adam Richman. In each episode, Richman explores the "big food" offerings of a different American city before facing off against a pre-existing eating challenge at a local restaurant. The program airs in syndication at various times during the week. Travel Channel revived the series on August 7, 2017, with Casey Webb replacing Richman as host, starting with the fifth season on August 7. The show moved to the Cooking Channel for season eight, which premiered on July 2, 2019. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
