2/3/2009 2:54:18 PM

^^ when were you there that day?

i went around 2:45-3:00 and the film crew were all semi-baffled by TRG

2/3/2009 3:24:09 PM

It's a good show, but I don't get the travel channel, so I don't get to watch it (or No Reservations) regularly.

2/3/2009 3:56:27 PM

^^ yep, we were there while the film crew was doing all the prep work

i think we got there around 2:30

I just watched 4 episodes in a row on my DVR and decided I was going to come make this thread.

Damn you for beating me to it.


I am pretty much in love with this show. Adam's pretty good at delivering the lol's.

2/3/2009 6:11:17 PM

yeah, he's a pretty funny guy. He's a ridiculous glutton though. I get that it's for the show...but sometimes...

overall I like the show. he can be a little smarmy sometimes.

2/3/2009 6:16:59 PM

This show is actually pretty fun to watch

2/4/2009 8:37:44 AM

i love this show, the episode with the huge burger was ridiculous, i think it was called the Sasquatch, rightfully so

2/4/2009 3:15:05 PM

i watch this all the time, but that raleigh line up sucks.

2/4/2009 5:38:49 PM

3/19/2009 10:27:27 AM

I have never even heard of either of those "NCSU" places

3/19/2009 10:28:46 AM

all i can think about when i watch this show is how bad he must feel the next day after doing one of those challenges.

especially the one where he ate that super spicy rice noodle dish. i would've been crying on the toilet.

3/19/2009 10:43:29 AM

I <3 this program

3/19/2009 11:24:10 AM

"A hot dogger proves he can still kick buns Gabe Gigliotti returns to Raleigh to reclaim his title as champ By Andrea Weigl - Staff Writer Adam Richman's Roast Grill hot dog eating record did not last long. Last night, if you tuned in, you saw Richman, star of the Travel Channel's "Man v. Food" show, eat 17 hot dogs in about 30 minutes, breaking the previous record set by Gabe Gigliotti on Aug. 14, 2008. On that day, Gigliotti, 23, ate 16 hot dogs in 50 minutes. In early February, Richman and a film crew spent about a week in the Triangle shooting at The Roast Grill and The Pit in Raleigh and Time Out in Chapel Hill. Two weeks ago, Gigliotti returned to reclaim his title. He didn't think some actor paid to perform food stunts on television should be able to lay claim to that record. To Gigliotti, it should be held by a regular who knows the owner, George Poniros. His grandparents opened the hole-in-the-wall hot dog shop in 1940. The Roast Grill is a Raleigh institution known for its burnt dogs and refusal to serve ketchup. Mustard, chili, slaw and onions are the only toppings. Plus, they serve some of the best homemade baklava in the Triangle. Gigliotti discovered The Roast Grill while interning last year at N.C. State University's ticket office. His boss took him there for lunch. He returned almost every Friday during his stay. "It's the best place to get a hot dog," Gigliotti said. And so, on March 6, Gigliotti drove down from his home in Wilmington, Del., to beat Richman's record. To prepare, he went to a hot dog place the week before and ate six hot dogs in four minutes. Surrounded by nine guys in their 20s, Gigliotti sat at the Roast Grill's Formica counter, devouring hot dogs. He ate at a fairly fast clip, consuming the first 15 in about 15 minutes. With No. 16, he started to slow down. He stood and rubbed his belly between bites. He took long sips from a bottle of Le Bleu water. The crowd cheered him on, shouting "Expand that gut!" and "Here we go!" Two bites into No. 17, Gigliotti quipped, "Can I get my own TV show after this?" With the last bite of No. 17, Gigliotti slapped the counter and shouted: "Tie game!" No. 18 went down one laborious bite at a time. In the end, Gigliotti regained the record by eating 18 hot dogs in 23 minutes. So how did this compare to last time? "I don't feel nearly as sick," Gigliotti said. "

the bbq place i can understand (it's new and relatively out of the way)

but you haven't heart of roast grill?! you should be ashamed.

4/6/2009 8:51:04 AM

I would imagine that most people would know the Roast Grill as "Hot Weiners"

4/6/2009 11:01:54 AM

^^ we tried the pit after the raleigh episode and the place is legit

horrible service, but the food made up for it

lolol...when I'm trying to explain where it is to people, I just say "the place across the street from the gay bar Flex with the "Hot Weiners" sign outside"

I went there for lunch last Wednesday. 2 hot dogs with chili and onions and a glass bottle coke for $5.50

I've been to The Pit like 6 or 7 times since it opened and haven't had anything that I didn't like. the banana pudding is

but any place that "refuses" me ketchup ain't getting my biznass

8/7/2009 2:05:55 PM

i think they're doing just "fine" without you.

8/7/2009 2:49:05 PM

I just ate at Roast Grill for the first time

(it wasn't any better than Snoopy's imo. and more expensive)

8/7/2009 3:01:09 PM

Yeah I saw the episode where he ate fifteen dozen oysters. Respect man!

Check out Sept 2nd. you might see my ugly mug at the doughman

8/7/2009 8:28:53 PM

I watched 2 episodes last night. In the first he ate a really hot burger that contained the hottest peppers in the world, the bhut jolokia. Only 4 other people had completed that one. He gets mad respect for that.
In the second I watched, he ate a 72 oz. steak... in 29 minutes.

8/7/2009 10:19:16 PM

girl from States dance team will be on in Sept.

Adam's new show got "suspended indefinitely" because somebody accused him of fat shaming on Instagram for using #thinspiration and he told them to get fucked and commit suicide. He's lost 70 pounds. He apologized and all, but yea.

Met the guy when he came through and did a shooting at The Pit. Seemed pretty cool, sat and chatted with me and my buddy in between takes.

7/2/2014 8:09:24 AM

^^LOL

Being happy about losing 70 pounds is apparently fat shaming.

7/2/2014 8:56:31 AM

kind of funny that I made this thread

completely turned on this show not long after making it.

7/2/2014 12:05:51 PM

Silly reality tv.

Pretty soon they'll have a tv show like this where the finale of the show will be the host taking a giant painful shit, from multiple camera angles. possibly in a disgusting restaurant bathroom.

7/2/2014 12:12:57 PM

^^always such the trend setter.
