You may be wondering what we are talking about in today’s comic. Well, it’s about a guy who takes on food challenges (for example eat x amount of foodstuff y within z minutes, or eat x amount of ultra spicy y foodstuffs without drinking any liquids). This guy, a one Adam Richman is the subject of our Zing today.
My television stops on Travel Channel once in a while, mostly to watch Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, as he is endlessly entertaining to me. I don’t watch Man v. Food as watching someone stuff food into their piehole is not engrossing television to me.
On a semi-related side note, the same company that owns Travel Channel also owns Food Network. My friend and artist of this webcomic Steve once told me about the “cooking” or lack thereof on Food Network. From his story, someone took a cake, sliced it in half and added some sort of filling between the two halves. I was dumbfounded by his explanation, especially since what he described wasn’t really cooking, it was more along the lines of masonry.
A couple of weeks later, I saw it for myself with someone taking two pre-packaged cookies and adding whipped cream between the two, making a cookie sandwich. I’m pretty sure that’s not really cooking, but then again what do I know?
See you all next week!
