That was an excellent one.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

You can watch your grandparents and parents die of "food-born" illnesses, like cardio-vascular disease and common cancers, twenty and forty years before they are due. You can see close relatives, friends and co-workers get heavier, sicker, less-capable, less productive -- less happy -- year by year. You can understand that upwards of 80% of the agricultural production in the western world goes to feed animals to produce the foods consumed as shown so wastefully in the behavior glorified in these shows. Know that those animals live as in Auschwitz every day of their lives and that the same plant food, calorie by calorie as is fed to them would be enough to adequately feed the rest of the human world maybe several times over. Understand that morbid obesity and type-2 diabetes are now problems for young children. I have no problem with say, nudity or vulgar language in art, it harms no one and depending on presentation, you like it or you don't, no problem. I cannot understand the rational disconnect and hypocrisy that allows the conduct and mindset of this show to be anything less than shockingly obscene. I understand this program's average rating is 7.8 on IMDb and that it has been running for at least five seasons. Take care people.

All those overly dramatic reviews just have to be written by health freaks. My God, get over it, it's a TV show, nobody is ever invited to follow him, or try it at home. people watch it over here in Ireland & the UK too, and we don't have such massive obesity problems. if your kids are so easily influenced by what they see on TV, switch it off! I love watching the mounds of crap that these restaurants conjure up. BUT, it is true that he kisses ass a little, I've never once seen him say something was terrible or even just not great. Everything he eats is "Awesome" and it is the over Americanised exaggerating (like every challenge has a crowd of overly eager - possibly actors - behind him) that ruins it in the end. Watch it on a full tum and you won't go hitting the fridge ;)

Food fanatic Adam Richman, is the star of the show. Adam travels the country, in search of eateries, with some of the most mouth-watering cuisine. Adam has a lot of boyish charm, and an engaging sense of fun. Which no-doubt help fuel the amazing popularity, of this show.The premise of this show, is that Adam accepts 'challenges' to see if he can finish either enormous portions of food, or food that is unbelievably spicy-hot. The catch is, Adam has to finish the food placed before him, within certain time limits-and he does. At least 90% of the time, anyhow.For example, I've seen Adam put-away some incredibly daunting meals, such as a 72-ounce steak, complete with two side dishes And this was within one hour. Adam has always wolfed-down three dozen oysters, in under 30 minutes, devoured 16 hot dogs in 30 minutes, and blindingly-fiery-hot chicken wings, in 20 minutes.When Adam says that he's 'just a guy with a serious appetite', he most definitely wasn't kidding! Adam is a big, burly got, but not morbidly obese, as you'd expect of somebody, who eats like Adam does for a living. He also seems to be in surprisingly good physical shape, when he runs around acting exuberant, before each food challenge.I don't know how Adam can eat so much often greasy, fat-laden food, in one sitting. My guess, is that he starves himself, hours before each challenge. My only beef (no pun intended) with this show, is that the Travel Channnel shows too many re-runs of each episode. It would be nice, if they broadcast new episodes more often.To me the chief appeal of this program, is that the public can pig-out vicariously, through watching Adam Richman devour so many huge, calorie-laden meals. Once, when he was gorging on a huge hot-fudge Sunday, he said'I know those of you who are watching, are jealous right now'. Most likely, he was right. Especially viewers who have to stick to their boring, taste-less, low-fat diets.

So this is something that people really watch? How did the guy who is the star of this show get this gig? What do we have here? Some disgusting man stuffing food in his mouth as fast as he can at any restaurant he can find. But it is not just that...he has to eat food that is made in such in way that normal people would not risk their health or stomach lining to eat. Meaning the food is normally really hot and as he stuffs it down the rest of the patrons cheer him on. He is shown sweating as he eats curry so hot you almost expect him to burst into flames and he normally cleans his plate everyplace he goes.I don't know about you but I really don't enjoy watching people eat and with bad table manners at that. This is not an informative program in any way but just some gross man who pretty much proves what is wrong with America these days. Which is bad diets and mass excess. If this guy stays on this program eating like he does he will be appearing on The Biggest Loser so as to burn off his bloated gut from all the crap he has put in his mouth. Really gross and an insult to watch...
