Ep. 276 - [United States] The History of Man vs Food with Adam Richman, TV Host of Food That Built America
Description
Today we’re interviewing Adam Richman food author, expert, and culinary entrepreneur of The HISTORY Channel’s popular non-fiction series “The Food That Built America”. I first saw Adam Richman on the show, Man vs Food! So we had to start with that journey first
What I find amazing about this interview is how Adam takes all of these very interesting cultural touchstones from art, to culture, to food and accumulates these experiences over time. Of course, this is why he’s such a good host and commentator in his career in food.
The road to his first big break as the Host of Man vs Food is full of these brick-by-brick experiences that cumulated into his continuing success as a TV show host for a variety of super cool food-specific series. Currently, Adam is doing shows for the History channel including “The Food that Built America!” Which is debuting it’s 4th season. This season started on Feburary 9th and there’s 16 jam-packed episodes including episodes where brands face off against each other such as: Chick-Fil-A vs. Popeyes, Starbucks vs. Dunkin Donuts Hot Pockets vs. Totinos.
But I’m interested in the host, someone I’ve been watching since I was a kid. I remember Man vs Food quite well and I was so honored to be asked to interview Adam.
So Adam goes through his whole life. From his childhood to his college, to his lowest point, to his killer audition for Man vs Food. It’s an inspiring story that all comes together.
Very important, Adam talks about a lot of things, and you will notice his specific detail on a variety of things throughout his life. All of the examples and the opportunities he took accumulate beautifully when he applies to Man vs Food. Adam crushed it. The role was meant for him.
