Man vs. Food Is Coming to My Town!

Our local rag is reporting that Man vs. Food host Adam Richman will be in town for three days this weekend to film an episode about Springfield cuisine.

First stop will be the famed Route 66 landmark The Cozy Dog Drive-in, where one presumes he’ll eat a hot dog on a stick. Next stop will be D’Arcy’s Pint, where he’ll be introduced to the feast that is the Horseshoe. His final stop will be where he does his food challenge: Joe Rogers Original Chili Parlor, where he’ll attempt to down five bowls of Firebrand chili (apparently no one’s been able to do more than four).

I’m glad to see that my little corner of the world is getting some recognition on the Travel Channel!

Hmm… I think it’s roadtrip time!

i tell you, that horseshoe sandwich looks tasty, i think I’d go for the breakfasty one

LUCKY! I wish my town was cool enough for that. We’re just a bunch of (American) football hooligans… at least, that’s how the outside world sees us, and there are very few people in my town that don’t live and breathe green and gold. (I’m marrying one of them.) There’s a lot of great food here… but, alas, the world will never know…
