10 Restaurants in California Featured on the Show ‘Man v. Food’
Watching an episode of The Travel Channel’s Man v. Food will make you hungry for sure. If you live in California or are planning a trip there, wouldn’t you just love to eat at one of the restaurants featured on the TV show? Man v. Food’s hosts, Adam Richman and Casey Webb, didn’t eat in restaurants on this popular foodie show unless there were giant portions of food to try.
Whether you’re in the mood for massive burritos, baby back ribs, huge burgers, dumplings, Michelin-star worthy Vietnamese food, a 2-gallon ice cream sundae, French Dips, chicken sandwiches, 5 rounds of homemade sushi rolls, or a 6-pound breakfast, be sure to bring your appetite. We’re headed to L.A., San Jose, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Sacramento, and Costa Mesa for large portions of some larger-than-life California restaurants!
