In an interview for LoHud.com, Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain says that Man vs. Food is one of his favorite TV shows (along with Fresh Prince of Bel Air reruns).
The Man vs. Food home page has been updated to say “Catch an all-new season of “Man v. Food” this summer”, which would be an earlier starting date for season 2 than the fourth quarter of 2009 the previous press release announced.
“Furious” Pete Czerwinski’s appearance on Fox Sport Science has been uploaded to youtube. Pete bit through a pig’s ear to determine the amount of force required for Mike Tyson to bite off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear.
(from Paul Barlow) The The Daily Mail reports that Anandita Dutta Tamuly ate 51 bhut jolokia peppers, considered the spiciest peppers in the world, in 2 minutes in Jorhut, India. Chef Gordon Ramsay of Hell’s Kitchen observed the feat, which will appear on a program he is producing for the British network Channel 4. She also rubbed the seeds from some peppers in her eyes.
AFP reports that Gordon Ramsey served as the official monitor for the Guinness Book of World Records, which requested that Ms. Tamuly’s pepper prowess be observed by “someone responsible”. She had hoped to receive a Guinness record for eating 60 bhut jolokias in 2 minutes in 2007, but no such recognition was apparently bestowed. The current official Guinness pepper eating record is 8 jalapenos in a minute.
