The Eclectic Owl: mark. Giveaway!

Food Nerd

ok, so i'm going to share a secret with you. i. can. not. cook. i have no desire to learn to cook. if it were up to me, i would eat out every single night of the week. but it just so happens that i married a man that loves to cook. so not only does this save us money, but it saves me from eating hot dogs and/or french toast (more like Chick-fil-a or wendy's) most nights.

so while i do not cook, i do enjoy a good food show. and this is where adam richman comes in.

i live vicariously through this gorgeous human being. if you know me, you know that i pick personality over physical appearance, so the fact that he may have a few extra around the middle means nothing to me. i love the fact that he can go anywhere and fit in. i love the fact that the man can eat 6 dozen oysters. he has taught me what a ghost pepper is (1000 times hotter than a jalapeno...umm, count me out), and that there is a place in atlanta where you can get a pizza as big as a baby.

in case you live in a hole and haven't heard of man vs. food this is what show he is on. it comes on travel channel. he pretty much goes everywhere around the country and the premise for each show is the same. he visits a few local places, and then goes to a place where they have a challenge, where you can get your name on a board or win a t-shirt of some sort.

i wish he would come to birmingham. so adam, if you're listening, and i'm sure you are, come to bham. i'll show you a thing or two about the south.
