Sunday Afternoon Diversion: Man v. Chicago Food

By Prescott Carlson in Miscellaneous on Dec 28, 2008 7:49PM

Adam Richman, host of the Travel Channel's Man v. Food show where he travels to various cities to tackle feats of gluttonous eating made his way to Chicago. Richman visited Al's #1 Italian Beef, Gino's East, and for the "chow down challenge", three overstuffed sandwiches in an hour at Lucky's Sandwich Company in Wrigleyville. While the choices are pretty uninspired (as well as a quibble that Lucky's gimmick is decidedly Pittsburgh-esque), since the show focuses on "pig out food" instead of gourmet, we'll let it slide. First part is below, second part after the jump.
