Man VS Food

Have you ever seen the Travel Channel show Man V Food? The Host, Adam Richman, visits restaurants all over the country and test out their best, largest, or scariest menu item. This could range anywhere from giant burritos, pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, hobenero hot wings, etc.

I honestly don't know who the host can devour some of the food because of it's massive size. I can do some pretty good eatin but I don't think I could hang. If it were my job I could do a little better. But besides the big time pig out sessions there are regular sized dishes that are amazing looking.

Me and Kayla's first glimpse of this show was live. We were visiting my wonderful friend Valorie Lott who lives in Memphis. She said we had to go to this chicken place called Gus's Chicken. So the 3 of us, hungover, went to eat some good ass chicken and the Travel Channel was filmin the intro of the show.

We didn't think much about it but long story short, they filmed Kayla eating some chicken. So blah blah we watched when it came on and it was fun to see us on the telly. But now i really love to watch the show and see what cool little place they visit next.

I was checkin it out about a few days ago and watched as they visited a little Mexican food place in East L.A. called El Tepeyac Cafe. It's home of the Manuel Special. This is a 5 lb burrito that is totally ridiculously large. But it's damn good. The owner is a nice old man who sometimes greets guest with a shot of tequila. Adam, the host of the show, finished the burrito like it was nothing. We wanted to check it out and see what the place was all about.

We ordered this big ass and when it was set on the table it was almost unbelievable. The picture above does it no justice. It looks 10 times bigger in person than picture. Amazing. We split it and did a nice job of tearing into the burrito. If we weren't headed to the beach and trying to not be a big fat ass I could have eatin a bit more. Oh yeah, it tasted awesome. It was soooo freakin good. It was pork with cheese, rice, guacamole, chile verde, and prolly some other good stuff.

We were waiting for our mammoth and I saw the owner behind me in the mirror. I noticed he looked at Kayla and she caught his eye. Sure enough he came over and sat dawn. He kissed her hand just like on the TV episode. He was so kind. He told her she looked like she was 16. I took my hat off and asked what about me. With no hesitation he said I looked like I was 80 just like him. We all giggled and before he left he asked us if we wanted a beer. Hell yeah!! So we got two beers at 11:30am for free. Yep. He is just a nice feller.


So, we left and went to the dog beach with Callie. Check the previous post. Damn. Now I I want to do is eat.
