KAMR-TV of Amarillo reports that Adam Richman, host of the Travel Channel’s “Man v. Food,” was in Amarillo recently for a taping of a tour of the city’s most notable restaurants.
Richman’s chow-down schedule included \such Route 66 stalwarts as the Golden Light Cafe and the Big Texan Steak Ranch, the latter at which he took the 72-ounce steak dinner challenge. He was also guided by members of the Route 66 Roller Derby League.
Here’s a photo gallery of Richman’s stop in Amarillo.

After hunting down the can’t-miss flavors that make up each region’s unique culinary history, Adam will take on the city’s toughest food challenge. Whether he’s devouring the Sasquatch Burger in Memphis, the Atomic Hot Wings platter in Pittsburgh, or a 13-pound pizza in Atlanta, Adam digs in with zeal becoming our ambassador to all things delicious.
“Man v. Food” is also coming to Chicago. So restaurateurs had better hide their “all you can eat” signs.
