No, that's Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman, which is also pretty entertaining.

Man vs. Food is a show made for a dude like you. I think you could take on some of the challenges.

Yeah, a lot of restaurants are known for their stupid "big" meal. I was at a BBQ place in Atlanta that had a $40 sandwich that was free if you could eat all of it. Something like 3 lbs of pulled pork, also ribs, brisket and a bunch of other stuff. It was pretty much a sampler of all their BBQ stuff in the form of a giant sandwich. I only know this because when we got there, the table across from us had a guy that tried the challenge.

Well, he wasn't successful.
There's actually about 50% of the meat left over. He just shoveled it around a lot so it "looked" like more was gone, not that it helped him.

To put things in perspective, because I believe a few of you are opining under a false assumption - fatty mc fat and her friend (who actually started the back and forth) didn't give the dude shit because they were fat and offended. The thinspiration hashtag is heavily associated with pro-anorexics. When he was informed of this, he replied something like "I don't give a fuck" and the back and forth started.
My friend has (had? does it ever really go away?) anorexia. She's half white, half Japanese, and on a scale of 1-10 she's pushing a 14 easily. Fine with a capital F. Yet still she ended up locked up in a recovery center because she thought she was ugly as fuck and was starving herself to death, literally. Her 22 year old room mate at the center died from a fucking heart attack/heart failure - at 22 - because of this shit. It's serious shit. The dude just shoulda said "hey my bad, I won't use that" but decided to be a dick about it and got what he deserved when the troll brigade went after him.

I think it's pretty clear when he said "thinspiration", he wasn't referring to anorexic people in any way. Just because a small segment of the population now associates the phrase with that doesn't mean everyone does or has to. I think that's why he started the tirade with the "Do I look like I give a fuck?".

This. If the Travel Channel thought they had a hit on their hands there would have been a hasty apology and we never would have heard about it again. Since he had put out a couple of dogs in a row it was easy to fire him. Just like Alec Baldwin and Paula Deen Bad ratings + excuse to fire you without paying out your contract = goodbye. I think firing people over tweets is dumb pussy shit, but I would bet that in the TV world there is some pretty quick math done that involves the amount of money they think that you are going to make them vs. how much shit they are going to eat apologizing for your big mouth.

Wish he would contest this in court as far as he can go. It's a pretty major employment law issue (just like the Duck Dynasty thing) that should probably get resolved with a major precedent.
Sure tv celebrities can defend themselves, but how many Amazon warehouse pickers can protect themselves when all some jealous coworker needs to do to get rid of them is dig through their facebook/twitter feeds for something offensive---how many burger flippers read their contracts or have agents that look out for gag clauses?

For real, I just looked up a lot of the challenges he faced during the show's run and a ton of them look like my typical Saturday binge eating feasts. I wish I'd had the bright idea of coming up with the show, and I wouldn't have turned into a fat, raging alcoholic.

what the hell is this disparity? i have no idea about this thinspiration thing, that is supported by anorexic skellies, and then he gets trolled on by the mother of whales and her kin. he probably had that suit hanging near his mirror everyday for months, b4 he fit in it and was proud and put two words together.
