Man v. Food is Travel Channel’s new series where the host travels the country in search of big, bad food challenges, and it comes to Austin tonight at 10pm on ET.
From the channel:
In this week’s episode host Adam Richman is about to find out just how “big” food can be in Austin. His first stop is Round Rock Donuts, home of the 2 pound Texas Donut. Next it’s brisket, ribs, and sausage over an open pit at The Salt Lick BBQ.The main event is the Don Juan Taco Eating Challenge at Austin’s own Juan in a Million. Adam must finish eight tacos to beat the record, which is currently held by the Hong Kong Hero since 2004. Can he do it?
Holy cow I couldn’t even finish one Don Juan, how is it even possible for a man to consume 8–much less MORE than 8?!
“DON JUAN” – El Taco Grande
A secret combination of potato, egg, bacon and cheese in a deliciously hot tortilla. $3.60

That description cannot possibly convey the magnitude of the plate set before you when you order the Don Juan. It’s a PILE of that stuff almost as tall as your head, served with two tortillas. Like TWO tortillas is enough for that junk! It is ridiculous. And an incredibly hangover cure.
Other stops include: Fran’s Hamburgers, Big Top Candy Shop for chocolate-covered bacon, Hey Cupcake for a closer look at the giant cupcake that sits on top of the trailer, and Amy’s Ice Cream for the most original ice cream on the menu – the Rusted Shut, featuring coffee ice cream, kahlua, biscotti and toffee.
Sneak a peak here, tune in at 10pm for the full show:
