Just caught up with this series and it has the power to make me both really hungry and at the same time not want to eat for a good 24 hours. The premise of the show is basically the show's host goes to a city and takes on some insane eating challenge such as eating a 30 inch pizza, 180 oysters, a 72 oz. steak or a 7 pound breakfast burrito. I'm not even sure if I like the show or not but it is fascinating in a train wreck kind of way......

My friends watch this show when they're stoned. The episode with the GIGANTIC hamburger was amazing.

The 11-pound all-meat pizza in Atlanta was both exciting and terrifying.

Sometimes, I'll watch this along with "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives" as part of a "Let's get high and stare at food" doubleheader.

I watched a bit of a marathon of this a few months ago. The hot wings episode was awesome. He took a huge block of ice out of the ice machine and held it on his face because of how bad the wing sauce was burning his cheeks. I also saw the oysters episode, but I missed if he could finish them or not. I think it was 10 dozen he had to eat.

The omelet episode literally made me sick. I despise omelets and seeing him eat one larger than my kids was just sickening. The worst thing about all these challenges...the side items. Its bad enough you have to eat a 40 inch sausage but here's 2 lbs of sauerkraut as well!

Great show. The one where he eats that bowl of hot ramen-- my mouth burned in sympathy.

The best thing about this show is a shot in the opening sequence. They hold up a giant slice of pizza next to a baby.

Even better than that, the baby seems to be looking at the pizza as if he wants a piece. It's awesome.

I like the logo, too. Something about a luchador punching a drumstick cracks me up. I love this show. I liked the one where he visited the donut shop that had a maple bar the size of a cafeteria tray.

Such a fun show. Yes, it's like XXX food porn, but it's so damn enjoyable and the host has bags of charisma. It might've helped that the first episode I watched was in a place about 30 miles from where I live...

When does the new season start?

This is my thing with the show. It's fun but there's something disturbing about how orgasmic the host gets with food. XXX Food Porn is about right.
