Ann Arbor episode of Travel Channel's 'Man v. Food' scheduled to air October 20
By Jenn McKee
Just a reminder that the Ann Arbor episode of The Travel Channel's "Man v. Food" is scheduled to air on Wednesday, October 20 at 9 p.m.
The show's host, Adam Richman, and his crew caused a stir in early September when they filmed segments at the Maize and Blue Deli, Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, and Tios.
Richman stared down a "food challenge" at Tios and tried to eat Mount Nacheesmo — a five-pound plate of nachos.
And to —Â um —Â whet your appetite, here's a trailer for the episode:

Ann Arbor has so many good restaurant's it's ashame they all couldn't be highlighted! But I did see that the Ann Arbor Visitor and Conventions Bureau is sponsoring a sweepstakes to win an all expenses-paid weekend in Ann Arbor. Enter the sweepstakes at <a href="http://www.visitannarbor.org/different?id=UB6pMrmc97a115p9131522y0s0c62477" rel='nofollow'>http://www.visitannarbor.org/different?id=UB6pMrmc97a115p9131522y0s0c62477</a> to experience all Ann Arbor has to offer!

Saw this show yesterday. I understand the concept, which is to eat incredible amounts of food but wish he would have chosen better restaurants to display A2's wealth of good food.

Thanks Jenn, I didn't mean to sound upset, but I watch the show a lot and the whole lead-up is to the challenge at the end and I thought it was phrased in the past-tense. Thanks for clearing that up!

@KathrynHahn - Honestly, I have no idea whether Richman won the food challenge at Tios or not - so no spoilers here. All I know is that he tried to eat Mt. Nacheesmo, so that's how I phrased it in the story...

"Tried to eat Mt. Nacheesmo?" did you just give away the ending of the show? It's suppose to be a challenge to see if he can do it. Dang!
