I think I would watch this guy drive around to tailgate with guys before a college football game and eat the local delicacies of the college town. He could do a new school every week during football season and then a pro team when college teams are off. I think that would be a fun show to watch.

Pretty sure Mashed has done some videos on it as well.

I loved his show. Whenever I traveled around the country, I would look up if Adam had done a show in the city I was in and find the restaurants he visited to try their food. It’s been great. I loved every place I went to because of MvF. Adam, you are the best.

I remember visiting my brother in Atlanta and remembered Adam visiting this spot known for hot foods…tho I didn’t get a chance to go..Just seeing it made me jump with excitement. So for the time it was on it was a great show despite how our food snobs may have felt. It wasn’t always about just the food but you just wanted to see Adam win. Tho I’m sad to have seen the show end..I often wondered about his health..I’m just glad he decided to step down and do what was best for him in the long term for his health. Either way it was fun while it lasted.

[@burgcarli929]

Bourdain and Alton Brown were food purists .... two guys who seem to have taken themselves too seriously. MvF was harmless entertainment that introduced us to new places and new food. Adam received a lot of attention, but was not a trained chef. Bourdain and Brown probably felt he didn't pay his dues.

[@WintersMinion]

You do know that Adam is a trained sushi chef and has been working in restaurants since he was 15. While Alton didn't train as a chef until he decided he was going to create cooking shows and even then unlike Adam has never actually worked in a restaurant.

Adam made us smile. His personality is what sold that show. I had always figured that this isn't healthy and I'm glad he ended it. Best to you Adam

[@Raiden6277]

What made him different from other competitive eaters is that he takes the time to talk about how good the food is. It’s not just about eating those portions. It’s also about enjoying the experience too. His new show is great though, but I’d say limit the airing to late nights because those places he goes to are supposed to be hush hush. Secret Eats makes me want to check out those places in my area, but I just hope that it wouldn’t end up being crowded because of the show.

You know what's ironic? We all thought Bourdain had the best gig out of all food show hosts, turns out he was a miserable man. Hats off to Richman and Guy for not letting criticism from someone like that drag them down.
