OT - Man v. Food Ann Arbor
http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Man_V_Food/Special_Features/Man_V_Food_Episode_Guide
Apparently, Man v. Food has either stopped or will be stopping in Ann Arbor for an episode this upcoming season, which starts tonight at 9. Anyone hear anything about where they will be filming around town?
I'll bet my life they're going to visit Blimpy, but where else? Bagel Fragel? Zingermans? Where could the food challenge possibly be?
Hell yea! Adam is the shiznit! Good exposure for A2 too, can't go wrong!
This is the same guy who went to Columbus in season 1 and sold out HARD for the buckeyes?
Guy is a douche. If I were in AA and saw him I'd give him mad shit about the Columbus love.
This guy is a complete fraud. I know tons of ppl who could eat more than that fool.
cool?
And yet he has a tv show and your friends don't.

I get negged because this guy is a douche.
Seriously? O-H...I-O indeed Adam....
He's a douche because while filming his TV show in Columbus he tried to enculturate himself? This is one of the most narrow-minded, ignorant perspectives I've seen here in quite a while. Do you understand what it means to work for a living? Do you understand what it means to be an entertainer?
Regardless of what any of us would like to believe, the world doesn't revolve around Ann Arbor.
"Enculturate?" Where's my dictionary?
No, he is a douche because of how he acts on the show.
This has been blown out of proportion as is, anyway. My initial response was to the following:
Hell yea! Adam is the shiznit! Good exposure for A2 too, can't go wrong!
How anyone in our Michigan-based culture could think someone is the "shiznit" after selling out hard to Columbus is beyond me. And if you want to argue the fact that he sold out by saying he is just "working for a living", you are selling out as well.
Did he do his job by going to Columbus and doing the show? Yes. Did he also sport scarlet and grey, meander about an OSU tailgate, and act like a jackass (as he normally does), whenever there was no food challenge / focus based on the OSU tailgate? Yes. Yes he did.
I don't know man, I guess we can just agree to disagree. He comes across on TV as a guy I would not have hung out with in high school, college, or post-college. He might be a good dude who is just trying to put on a good show. I could be way off. I just don't know and can only base an opinion of him on what I see. If you disagree, that's fine with me. Just don't doubt the facts (sold out in Columbus already + behaves like a child = the shiznit? please...)
Adam has to eat his weight in chicken broccoli bake.
I just spit coke everywhere laughing. As a former dining hall employee during my school years, I thank you for that comment. +1 to you sir.
So that's what that was!
This may surprise some of you, but I agree.
I loved that stuff so much that the woman who used to run South Quad would send me an email for the days when it wasn't on the menu, but they were going to throw in a single pan.
She also gave me the recipe.
I made it, but it wasn't nearly as good as at SQuad. I think because I didn't put in 2 lbs. of butter.

I've wanted to try it out a few times but it just seemed too complicated for the level of drunkenness that sparked the idea to make it in the first place.
I love you. Making this tonight...
Too Bad Red Hot Lovers is not still in its prime, then he could feast on some chili cheese fries to fill up the belly....
Even the quints with egg are dwarfed by what he noramlly consumes.
I can't think of anything served up in Ann Arbor that is abnormally large.......
Not necessarily for the food challenge: just for one of the two warm-ups.
I can't think of anything large enough for a food challenge either.
that he will try to set the record for the most burger consumed in one sitting at Blimpy's.
BTW, who is that girl in your avatar?
The girl is the face of utter disappointment and disbelief after Tate threw to Matthews for a TD.
Anyone who has that game and can watch the broadcast over and over again knows the face of that girl. She looks so depressed...
I think that might be a negbang if one doesn't know that. How can one call themselves a Michigan fan?!
I love that she was picking her zits during that shot. Congrats. Forever immortalized as the girl who was nervously picking her zits in dazed disbelief. Now, everyone who watches this classic game from here to eternity will remember her at that moment.
EDIT: My apologies for a wasted post. Njia commented on the infamous zit-picking before I did.
record... and I ate there at least once a week when I lived on Division just north of Hill (back in '94-'95).
The girl is the ND fan that the camera man was fixated on after Michigan scored the winning TD last season.
It's a more recent development, and I think it started around 2000 or 2002. Even so, I hadn't heard about it either until my junior year, and I graduated in 2009. Must be a fairly well-kept secret. Maybe the owners don't want word to get out and things to get out of control. That may change when MvF comes to AA.
The "record" has been an ongoing for quite some time. I remember a guy breaking the longstanding one in 1996, and now the current record is something like ten patties higher. Locals seem to be more aware of it than students....that will probably change in the future.
Was she ever identified, courtesy of the Internet or FB? Seems to me we need for her to do a guest commentary before, during and after Sept 11.
I can't think of anything served up in Ann Arbor that is abnormally large......
Except some of the coeds on the engineering campus....... but since you opened that door.......
*evil eye*
I didn't wanna say the guys on north campus definitely aren't, but since you opened that door....
(and if anything the unattractive engineering girls are on the underfed-looking side, I think you're thinking of the chubby art music or theatre kids)
I was careful to say "some." I don't recall too many large guys in Civil. They seemed to be confined to EECS... or the NCC...
zing!
So... just how big of a sample size are you basing this on, quantitatively speaking?
At least one of each: Aero, ChemE, EECS, IOE, MatSci, MechE, and at least one other major (not NERS).
...I went on a wild streak fall semester. My roommate and I were keeping a checklist.
What kind of engineer you are. Only that you're a bow hunter. A wise man (it may have been Ted Nugent) said, "Bow hunters do it better: they go deeper into the bush, shoot off more, and eat their game."
...but my dad's a bowhunter. Excuse me as I wipe the vomit off my keyboard.
*still dry heaving... ughhhhh*
But no Civil.
Just texted the roommate, who confirms civil, naval, and NERS were neglected. I then wondered who I got with in AOSS, and she said we didn't count them as engineers.
That leaves BME I guess? I knew I'd regret throwing out that list.
EDIT: roommate confirms, BME happened at some point. This concludes my overshare of the year.
As a proud AOSS alum, just how many things in orbit does it take for a department to count as an engineering department?
Idk, she works there and it has 'science' in the name so that's probably why.
It's a Master of Engineering degree. Do you need to draw her a map?
i noted on Google Analytics this page just got bookmarked by 190 users
a single structure, but A: It seems in poor taste. B: Though I'm not an engineer, I know I shouldn't make comments on a structure's stability till examining it personally, and C: I don't think my wife would like it if I did that.
Hey, my sister has an engineering degree from U of M.
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You insulted my sister. Prepare to die."

I do quints with a fried egg regularly at Blimpy. He has to do something much bigger than that.
There is a patty record at Blimpy Burger (the record, last I heard, stood at a whopping 43 patties in one sitting!!!), so he could try to top that.
There is also a pizza challenge at Bella Italia Pizza where someone has to consume a 30-inch pizza in a set amount of time, and I've heard that there's an alternative to this challenge that involves a meat lovers 30-inch pizza that can be tackled by you and a friend.
Regardless, great show, and great exposure to local restaurants and eateries in the area. I hope I get the chance to see the filming. Great find!
