“There's no way that I could have known about a 72-oz. steak challenge in Amarillo unless thousands upon thousands of locals and travellers alike had attempted it. I guess if 'Man V Food' is me paying homage to these legends, then I suppose 'Man V Food Nation' is the legacy.”

“These $40 burgers with foie gras and truffles and all of that flies in the face of one of the most proletarian foods around. It's overpriced, overdone and just not worth it.”

“Back in the day, I used to watch 'The Cajun Chef' with Justin Wilson. His mixing would go one way, and his stomach would go the other.”

“I like being the people's champion when it comes to dining.”

“'Man v. Food' was the biggest career-defining opportunity. I went from anonymity to someone of note with access to amazing eateries.”

I cut out white flour and starches and worked with my doctor and a nutritionist to develop a plan.”

“If you do a quantity challenge, the problem you'd face would be a starchy challenge. If it has a lot of potatoes, a lot of bread or fried elements, that's difficult.
