“I’m not kidding you, to utter these words aloud is so surreal to me – but to say, “I had to give up my Super Bowl tickets for my all-expense paid research trip to Argentina’s wine country,””

People follow me on social media, and they can tell I have varied interests.

One of my great personal triumphs is, because I stay vigilant about my health

The first one that I went to with my friends was with my buddy Michael – and we actually cut class to get tickets – was INXS at the Garden.

Actually, I am loathe to admit, but I also remember freshman year of Emory – and I’m so sorry to have to admit this – but there was a Domino’s Pizza in Emory Village, where I went to college, and I was ordering a pizza.

Man V. Food is the highest-rated show in the Travel Channel’s history, so clearly there’s going to be a correlation.

So obviously I want to be in the limelight in some capacity, or I want to be in entertainment in some capacity.

There are so many chefs out there, and so if you were to say, “The dude who used to host Man V. Food is doing pairing for Jim Beam,” you’d say,

My mom always says, “Pack your smile,” but [the sound guy] articulated it beautifully, because he saw me go from Joe Schmo who had been on food stamps to Adam Richman from Man V. Food.

I sponsor two soccer teams in England, one of which is called Broadley F.C.

That was another incredible thing: the opportunity to be in Greenland, a place I had read about in NatGeo a decade before.

There are soccer athletes that are known the world over except in the U.S. Thierry Henry, for example.

I lived in San Jose for a little bit, and one of my neighbors was Vietnamese and was teasing me.

It’s the true story of a man stalking and plotting to kill the man who raped him when he was seven.

I have a master’s from Yale drama, and I auditioned for this.

If I ever took the spare tire off of my car and was on a survival show, and Bear Grylls was like, “What you need to do in a survival situation is eat your tire,” I’d be like, “That’s moose nose!”

I thought maybe I would be everyone’s favorite dude-food friend.

I would call them, whether it’s a playoff game, a bowl game, or one of these kickoff classic type things, which I think is helpful to, you know, our players in terms of playing some place that’s not really a home game for them.

If you don’t win a Super Bowl, you’re not considered successful in the National Football League. I can remember, when we finally won that first one, feeling so good for the players and fans.

The greatest thing is to win your first Super Bowl.

I believe that a bad Super Bowl halftime show is still better than a soccer game.

Life is just a bowl of pits.

It’s funny, but when there are dominant teams, there are a number of people who rail about the fact that they’re always seeing the Dallas Cowboys or the San Francisco 49ers or the Green Bay either in the playoffs or in the Super Bowl.

Never break another man’s rice bowl.

You have to win and you have to win with a vision for the Super Bowl. That’s our passion here.
