There's a show on the Travel Channel called Man Vs. Food. Basically, a guy who looks like a Jewish version of me (and who is shaped like me) travels the US and stops in towns to try unique/challenging/famous entrees at renowned places. For example, he'll try to eat a 12 egg omelette, or attack the hottest curry entree in the US. He's a freelance competitive eater who pigs out and talks like a smartass to a camera.
