Adam Richman is a food fanatic who travels around the country discovering the biggest and best meals our nation has to offer. As a young boy growing up in New York City, he had a desire to taste.it.all. Though he's had no professional culinary training, he's held numerous jobs in the food and restaurant industry. Adam's ultimate hunger quest finds him on an incredible nationwide journey where he headfirst, no regrets, takes on extreme food challenges. For example: In season 1 Adam visited Boston and took part in the infamous Eagles Deli Challenge: Challenge Burger 5lbs of beef, 20 slices of cheese, 20 slices of bacon and of course what’s a burger without fries, our challenge burger comes with 5lbs of em! 
I assume this photo was taken in the midst of the chow-down. Holy mother of god. I'm no stranger to Eagle's Deli, and in fact I can barely finish a regular burger and fries. (They cured many a hangover back in the days when I lived right down the street in Brookline. Love their food!)
What's super cool about the Season 3 premiere is the fact that it takes place in Boulder, Colorado. What's so special about Boulder you ask?
a) My good friends (and faithful III followers) Laura and Craig live there.b) I traveled to Boulder back in April and went to two (out of three) of the places Adam will be visiting in this episode!!
Man v. Mountain Pie. First up Adam visits Beau Jo's where he attempts to conquer one of Colorado's legendary 14 lb. Sicilain pizzas with a mile high crust and an avalanche of toppings. [Since I love Sicilian pizza, and missed Beau Jo's the first time around, looks like I need to make a trip back!]
Man v. Saddlebags. Up next he heads to local breakfast joint The Buff where there is no doubt in my mind he will succeed at finishing the Saddlebags Pancakes. Pancakes filled with your choice of diced bacon, sliced sausage, or diced ham, topped with two eggs.
I am not sure if he will have that exact dish, but either way, the girls and I wish him the best of luck. Ashley happened to order this meal when we brunched there one glorious morning.
She was able to finish half which is a commendable effort.
The fact that we chowed down on Pecan Caramel Quesadillas before our brunch entrees arrived might have had something to do with her not being able to finish. Moving right along....

Man v. Wings. Finally, Adam takes on the Wing King Challenge at The West End Tavern. This challenge apparently involves a bucket full of more wings than all of Adam's previous chicken wing challenges combined. Umm what?! How in the heck does one eat 50 wings in 30 minutes?!
In case you missed it, my first night out in Boulder included sipping Bourbon cocktails at this very bar! No wings were consumed, but you can read all about my night on Pearl St. and how impressed I was with The West End Tavern here.
Clearly, I can't wait to see Adam take on the food, especially at some of my favorite Boulder restaurants.
