Philly episode of Man v. Food airs tonight

Tonight, check out the Philly episode of The Travel Channel's Man v. Food, which filmed at the Franklin Fountain, among other spots, over the summer. Host Adam Richman will attempt to eat a five-pound cheesesteak from Tony Luke's as his extreme eating challenge.

The episode won't air till 10 p.m., but for now you can check out this Web clip of Richman goofing on South Street. It's not embeddable but it's worth the clickthrough, if only for the triumphant shot of the host single-swoop high-fiving a large group of dudes from a traditionally black fraternity.

I haven't seen this show in a while, but I am aware of Adam's eating prowess; I am hopeful but I doubt that he can conquer 5 lbs. of cheesesteak. My only question is provolone or whiz?
