“Man v. Food” will air an episode featuring Maine Wednesday night on the Travel Channel.
Host Adam Richman filmed the Maine episode in July, making stops at the Tradewinds Cafe in Arundel, Nosh Kitchen Bar in Portland and the Lobster Shack in Cape Elizabeth. He also visited the Portland Museum of Art for the online segment of his show, “A Side of City.”
Richman is known for downing outrageous amounts of food in a single sitting. He likes to take on “eating challenges,” such as eating 50 chicken wings in 30 minutes in Boulder, Colo.
In Maine, Richman took the “Manimal Challenge” at the Tradewinds Cafe. The challenge calls for scarfing down, in 20 minutes or less, two dogs, an order of fries, an eight-patty cheeseburger with grilled onions, a can of Moxie and a one-pound butter pecan milkshake that contains coffeecake.
At Nosh Kitchen Bar, Richman ate the “Apocalypse Now” burger made with American cheese, seared pork belly, cured bacon, foie gras, mayo and macerated oranges and cherries.
The Maine episode will air at 9 p.m. Eastern.
