Richie Ferrara’s twitter reports that Man vs. Food will be filming in Brooklyn today at his uncle’s restaurant. The restaurant was not named, the Buffalo Cantina is reportedly one of the Brooklyn sites.

update Beautiful Brian comments that the Buffalo Cantina is the site and recording will start at 5. The Buffalo Cantina was the site of a Man vs. Food hot wing video, so the challenge tonight will probably be hot wings.

update #2 John Reinhardt reports that Man vs. Food is at Brennan & Carr today.
