Adam Richman (born May 16, 1974) is an American actor, television personality and culinary expert who is perhaps best known as the host of the Travel Channel's program Man v. Food.
Early life and education
Richman was born into a Jewish family, grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and graduated from Midwood High School. He completed his undergraduate degree in International Studies at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and earned a master's degree from the Yale School of Drama.[1][2]
Career
His acting career has included guest roles on Guiding Light, All My Children, Law & Order: Trial by Jury, and in 2004 he portrayed God as a butcher on Joan of Arcadia.
A self-educated food expert and trained sushi chef,[3] since 1995 he has kept a travel journal including each of the restaurants he visited and what he learned from the trip. Although described as "a bit on the husky side", to maintain his health while indulging for his show on The Travel Channel's Man v. Food (which he began hosting in 2008), Richman exercises twice a day while he is on the road.[1][4] When the schedule permits, he does not eat the day before a challenge and he tries to stay "crazy hydrated" by drinking lots of water or club soda and forgoing coffee or soft drinks.[5]
