Man v. Food does sweets at Franklin Fountain
Franklin Fountain's Eric Berley, whose brother Ryan talked to Felicia D. for an interview earlier today, tells Meal Ticket that Man v. Food just wrapped up two days of shooting at their Old City scoop shop. Host Adam Richman dropped by the old-school ice cream parlor (116 Market St.) to sample their banana split and their "Mt. Vesuvius," the gigantic hot fudge sundae bulked up with brownie pieces, malt powder and whipped cream. Berley says that the Philly episode of the Travel Channel show � it will also feature Richman attempting to eat a five-pound cheesesteak from Tony Luke's � should air in late September.

Nice, looking forward to a Philly episode. We were out there last year and got some cheese steaks and they were delicious, but in the meantime I think I'm going to follow in Adam's foodsteps and get some food challenges under my belt. http://www.ibetyouwont.com has an on-going list of some really ridiculous challenges.
