This morning, Adam Richman scared his fans when he posted that he was going in for his second surgery in six weeks. It was not as much the surgery that worried them as what he wrote.
“And because nobody knows the future, I just wanted to once again tell all those who have been so kind and supportive of me & the shows I make and have made, I am forever grateful & love you all so much,” the Man v. Food man wrote. “If I’m granted the opportunity to come out of this, I promise I’ll continue to work my tail off to give you my all. Blessed to live the life I have & yes, blessed to live long enough to see my beloved @spursofficial lift a European Trophy.” Then he asked for prayers.
After a few hours, he returned to social media and gave an update on how his operation went. “I’m home from the surgery and so grateful for all of the messages of care and concern,” he wrote on this post. “Two operations in six weeks is pretty gnarly, but fortunately I’m on the other side of it. It’s gonna be a long road to recovery, but I get to wake up at home and that is a miracle and a blessing.”
Richman has not disclosed what the surgery is for. Hopefully, he will recover quickly and back eating more delicious foods in a restaurant and not at home. Then, he can share reviews and facts about those meals and so much more again..
Before Adam Richman was downing large amounts of meats on Man v. Food, he was serving meats on Joan of Arcadia. He looks the same now as he did when he was 29 in that 2004 episode. Well, the same minus a beard.
Adam Richman is one of the most prominent foodies on television thanks to his shows on Travel Channel and History Channel. And in this photo, where he is concussed, he is looking as yummy as the food we have seen him eat on Man v. Food.
Tell me, I am not the only one who wants him to serve me breakfast in bed. We know he knows what makes the perfect breakfast thanks to hosting series like The Food That Built America.
Tonight at 10p on History, Adam Richman gets into his time travel machine and travels back 40 years for Adam Eats the ’80a. The food enthusiast is going to try foods that have not been around since that era, learn the history of iconic foods, and introduce us to some of the people who made these foods from yesteryear.
In the first episode, he takes us to Domino’s Pizza. There we learn that they made a pizza that never left the decade. In fact, they made two, and I wish they would bring them back. Not only do we get to watch them make these failed pizzas, we learn how they went from a few stores in Michigan to become the pizza giant they are today.
Richman then travels to Pennsylvania to learn the origin story of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels. While he is there, he is taught how to twist one of their pretzels.
The second episode that airs tonight is really sweet! As in it about Big League Chew and a man who has an impressive collection of over 20,000 candies worth around $150,000 from the Me Generation.
Did you know Big League Chew was the idea of a baseball player? You get to meet him and see how they made the first batch of the shredded gum in someone’s home kitchen. Richman gets to sample the first flavor they came up with and learns why the candy company rejected it.
The thing I love most about Richman’s style is that he always goes into every location like a kid in a candy store. So what happens when walks to Russel Vandever’s like totally tubular candy collection from the ’80s? He becomes a kid again as he plays with his food. The ’80s had the best candy, and I dare you to prove me wrong after watching this episode.
No matter what Richman takes on, he always makes everything interesting and fun. This show is no different. Therefore, I can’t wait to see what other foods he brings back from my childhood!
Whenever I watch someone take part in a challenge where they eat really spicy food, I want to see the day after. As in, burns going in, burns a hell lot more coming out. However, when the cameras stop rolling, so does our knowledge of their aftermath.
That was then. Now Adam Richman shows us what happened when he ate scorching wings. As they say, “First you say it. Then you do it.” However, in this case, we add, “Then you keep saying it,” with tears in your eyes and pain like you wish you didn’t know in your ass!
So in short, someone needs to give Richman a new show called Richman, Poo-man! Who would watch? I would DVR it so I could watch it over and over and over again. I am a sadist who loves to eat spicy peppers!
