Man v. Food: "I'm basically eating for entire neighborhoods in Philadelphia"

Man v. Food: "I'm basically eating for entire neighborhoods in Philadelphia"
So here's a bit of pre-challenge footage from last night's episode of Man v. Food, where host Adam Richman was challenged to eat a King Kong-sized cheesesteak by Tony Luke Jr. Our attempt to get a "provolone or Whiz" answer from Richman fell on deaf Twitter ears yesterday, but maybe that's because the answer was neither � boy went for American. If you want to know if Richman was able to finish eating this behemoth, head over to watch the post-eating press conference on Travel Channel's Web site.
So what do you think, Meal Ticketers? Was Philly eatin' represented well on Man v. Food?
I stopped into Jim's at 62nd and Noble yesterday while running errands in Overbrook. I prefer american & whiz, with hots on half, and a Budweiser 22. The Travel Channel's viewership should see both the incoming and return fire bullet holes at this classic Philly jawn. The all female staff are a bunch of sweethearts. They are what Philly eatin' is all about. Their attytoods and service are refreshing compared to the elitist mentality of South Philly.
It was a funny little mini slice of Philly, but I suppose that's the limitation of a half-hour program. It was certainly better than Samantha Brown's coverage ;-)
I can't believe he finished that beefy behemoth. That was a combination of awesome and disgusting. I would have to agree with ron w when I say that the attitudes of the staffs at Pat's and Genos are a little over the top sometimes. Showing a little friendly attitude never killed anyone. I mean we all know that you are cheesesteak badasses but when it comes down to it you are also working in the food and hospitality business which means you should be hospitable and not an asshole. Because when you leave work and remove your honorable apron which makes you a cheesesteak artist, you are just a sweaty dude stinking of onions whose hands are caked with old whiz. So next time I come down for my whiz fix and act politely, return the favor, I don't buy into the S.P. bullshit.
