Ep 13. Jersey Shore

In Man v. Food season 3 episode 13, host Adam Richman travels to the Jersey Shore to tackle some of the biggest and tastiest food challenges the area has to offer. He starts off at the Asbury Park boardwalk, where he checks out the offerings at the Jersey Shore BBQ. Adam meets co-owner Matt Gibbons, who introduces him to the five-pound Johnny Cash brisket sandwich. This behemoth of a sandwich is piled high with smoked brisket, coleslaw, barbecue sauce, and jalapenos, and is served on a giant roll. Adam takes on the challenge of finishing the entire sandwich in under an hour, but will he be able to conquer this massive meat mountain?

Next up, Adam heads to the Turning Point restaurant in Brick Township to try their famous pancake stack challenge. This challenge involves eating an entire stack of pancakes, which is made up of six giant pancakes layered with bananas, strawberries, and whipped cream. The stack is so big that it comes with its own support system, and Adam struggles to finish it off in time. But will his dedication and determination be enough to come out victorious?

Later in the episode, Adam visits La Rosa's Pizzaria in Toms River to take on their 24-inch pizza challenge. This enormous pizza is loaded with toppings, including pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, and black olives. Adam has just one hour to finish the entire pizza, and he knows that he'll have to dig deep to conquer this carb-heavy challenge.

Finally, Adam heads to Rutt's Hut in Clifton to try their world-famous deep-fried hot dogs. These hot dogs are so popular that they've been featured on the Travel Channel and the Food Network, and Adam can't wait to try them for himself. He discovers that the secret to their crispy, crunchy exterior is the deep-frying process, where the hot dogs are cooked twice before being served with homemade relish. Adam takes on the challenge of eating five of these famous hot dogs in under an hour, but will he emerge victorious from this greasy gastronomic battle?

Throughout the episode, Adam also meets some of the locals and learns more about the Jersey Shore culture and cuisine. He discovers that the Jersey Shore is home to some of the most delicious and challenging food challenges in the country, and he rises to the occasion with his trademark enthusiasm and humor. With his insatiable appetite and his love of all things food-related, Adam proves that he's the ultimate food warrior in Man v. Food season 3 episode 13.
