At least one of Adam Richman’s challengers does not merit the description “hairy-chested mouthbreather” 😉 Jessicca Hart made the following announcement on the Man vs. Food facebook page:

“Oh Adam. Pretty soon you will be seeing Woman V Food on Youtube. And I will out eat you any day of the week. 6lb burrito is breakfast for me.”

In a QCTimes interview promoting his appearance in Iowa City today, Adam Richman has the following comments about fans who challenge him to eating contests:

“The show is ‘Man v. Food,’ not ‘Man v. Man,’ yet I get every hairy-chested mouthbreather popping off at the top of their neck. I don’t care if you can eat more than me,” he said. “All I’m trying to do is give you my best shot and know these challenges are out there. I get a lot of aggressive, loud dudes trying to challenge me.”
