Man V Food Season 1 Episode 7 takes us to Atlanta, Georgia, where host Adam Richman takes on some of the city's most iconic and delicious dishes. He starts off at the Varsity, a fast food joint that has been serving Atlanta since 1928. Here, Adam takes on the challenge of eating five chili dogs and a large serving of onion rings in under 30 minutes. Next, Adam visits the Colonnade, a classic Southern-style restaurant that has been around since 1927. He tries his hand at finishing their famous "Chicken Fried Steak" - a giant piece of steak that is crusted with bread and deep-fried.
Up next, Adam heads over to The Vortex, a unique burger joint that offers up a creatively named menu of burgers, including the "Double Coronary Bypass" burger that features two beef patties, cheese, bacon, and a fried egg - all sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches. Adam takes on the challenge of finishing this mammoth burger in under 30 minutes - a feat that has only been accomplished by a handful of people.
After the intense burger challenge, Adam heads to the Highland Bakery to try their famous "Red Velvet Pancakes" - a stack of fluffy pancakes that are dyed red and topped with cream cheese icing and fresh strawberries. This sweet dish proves to be a welcome break from the previous savory challenges.
Finally, Adam travels to Mary Mac's Tea Room, a restaurant that embodies Southern charm and hospitality. Here, he tries their classic "Fried Chicken" - a dish that has been on their menu for over 60 years. The chicken is crispy and delicious, and Adam samples a variety of sides including collard greens, mac n' cheese, and sweet potato soufflé.
Overall, Man V Food Season 1 Episode 7 in Atlanta showcases the city's rich culinary history and iconic dishes. Adam Richman takes on some of Atlanta's biggest food challenges and gives viewers a taste of the diverse flavors in this Southern city.
