The 10-pound stuffed pizza at Randy's Wooster Street
Adam Richman of ‘Man v. Food’ is having himself some real Fun With Carbs on his Hartford episode tonight, taking on a stuffed-pizza challenge at Randy’s Wooster Street Pizza Shop in Manchester.
We are live-blogging this gut-busting episode tonight…read on!
10:34: What did you think of the episode? Are you dying for a two-foot long hot dog and a steamed cheeseburger with a “pillow of cheese”? Comment!!
10:30: That was a fun episode! Except I think the two hot-dog restaurant visits took away airtime that other episodes have used to give a little historical background of the city and its culture. No Hartford landmarks. No insurance jokes. No UConn mentions…
10:29: Talk about down to the wire. With one second left, Adam and Moomsie took down the entire 10-pound pizza. AMAZING
10:28: GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GOOOOOOOO
10:28: Moomsie is a team player all the way. (He’s so getting his pick of chicks this weekend)
10:27: EAT ADAM’S CRUSTS, MOOMSIE
10:26: Who’s the screaming guy with the UConn hat?
10:25: KILL IT, MOOMSIE
10:24: ‘Man v. Food LIVE?’ I smell live-blog numero dos
10:23: This pizza looks so damn delicious
10:22: The ‘Hartford Inhalers’ T-shirts are killer.
10:21: HERE WE GO.
10:20: The bottom crust ALONE is 3 lbs.? FUN. WITH. CARBS.
10:19: The Great Moomsie is almost as great of a nickname as Snooki
10:18: “It’s not going to happen,” says a Wooster Street customer of Adam’s challenge.
10:17: Is it “Woooo-ster” Street or “Wuss-tah” Street? Am I just conditioned to bristle at mispronunciations of Worcester?
10:14: Adam after his second bite of burger, “Oh. Come to Connecticut!” Suck on that, Facebook haters that compared Hartford to Omaha.
10:14: This is a hell of a way for Ted’s to celebrate 50 years in business.
10:13: Adam about the Ted’s burger: “Oh my god, is that sexy”
10:11: That’s a full-sized brick of cheese.
10:10: Meriden is like 20 minutes from Hartford. Just sayin’.
10:07: Rob: “OHHH, BACON.” Me: “You realize you’re on the record.”
10:06: Adam likes the frighteningly long two-footer. Though the way he held it to his mouth was questionable.
10:06: Adam about the 2-foot Doogie’s dog: “That’s so freakin’ awesome, I need to see it.” “America, make this guy a 2-foot bun.”
10:05: Adam: “If this [Woody's] hot dog tastes as good as it looks, I may never leave Hartford.” I wish Adam would stay in Hartford. I would love to hang with that guy.
10:04: Husband is drooling over the Deputy Dog at Woody’s, topped with pulled pork and sharp cheddar cheese.
10:03: I can’t say I’ve ever eaten a hot dog in Hartford.
10:02: Jim Welch is going to love Adam’s Whalers jersey.
10:00: Oh my god, this pizza is out of control. Only two teams have succeeded in this challenge? of 442?
9:58: Rob: ‘Oh sure. NOW you want to watch it in HD.”
