‘MAN FINDS FOOD’ POSTPONED

Travel Channel’s new original series “American Grilled” will move to a new time slot: Wednesday, July 2 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. In “American Grilled,” hardcore grilling enthusiasts from across the country go head-to-head for a chance to compete for a $10,000 cash prize and bragging rights when they are crowned the ultimate “grill master.” In this outdoor cooking challenge, host and renowned chef/restaurateur David Guas turns up the heat on four highly-motivated contestants who must use locally sourced ingredients – blue crab in Maryland, quail in Georgia and T-bone steaks in Texas, to name a few – to create delicious and original plates that test their epic backyard skills.

Series Premiere: “You Hear That Sizzle?” – 9:00 p.m. ET/PT

In the premiere episode, host David Guas travels to Asheville, N.C. – a scenic arts community tucked between the Blue Ridge and Smokey mountains. Here, it’s all about homegrown foods, the great outdoors and beer. Four killer grillers – Jeff, Dillon, Will and Tiny – battle it out to take home the $10,000 prize in Asheville’s Pack Square Park – a favorite local spot for concerts, festivals and art. They must use unique local ingredients – like scuppernongs, stinky goat cheese and liver mush – and some of the juiciest cuts of meat to win over the judges in each round. Guas is joined by guest judges Elizabeth Karmel (owner of Hill Country BBQ restaurants) and Jason Sandford (a food writer and journalist from Asheville). It’s a high-heat, high-intensity rush to the finish.

Travel Channel is postponing the July 2nd series premiere of “Man Finds Food.”

TRAVEL CHANNEL’S ADAM RICHMAN GIVES AN INSIDER’S PEEK INTO

OFF-THE-GRID EATERIES AND OFF-THE-MENU DISHES

IN PLACES YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT IN ‘MAN FINDS FOOD’

New Original Series Premieres with Back-To-Back Episodes

On Wednesday, July 2 at 9:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. ET/PT

CHEVY CHASE, MD (May 20, 2014) – Shhh…Adam Richman has a secret! In his new original Travel Channel series, “Man Finds Food,” the foodie and in-the-know host crisscrosses the country on the ultimate quest to uncover unique, surprising, and delicious hidden food treasures. Having spent years on the road introducing viewers to America’s most interesting eating establishments, Richman has tasted nearly every dish imaginable, and learned of many cuisine secrets lurking around the American food scene. In each of the 13 half-hour episodes, premiering with two back-to-back episodes on Wednesday, July 2 at 9:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. ET/PT, he unveils a combination of off-the-menu items and off-the-grid restaurants – some that are even hidden to locals!

“Every city has culinary gems that are held sacred by the locals and sought out by tourists,” said Richman. “But right below the surface – all across the country – is an awesome, delicious, secret dining-world of hidden restaurants and off-the-menu dishes only available to those in-the-know. In ‘Man Finds Food,’ my crew and I seek out the tasty treasures of this secret dining universe, and share how and where to get some of these magnificent mystery meals. And we do so while meeting, greeting and eating with some of the coolest, most interesting people across the nation.”

In the premiere episode at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, Richman reveals the following Los Angeles hidden gems:

The Escondite, which lies behind a hidden door, is a dive bar located on the edge of Skid Row and Little Tokyo (Skidrokio). Amongst the many burger creations is the off-menu breakfast sandwich known as Godzilla Destroys Skidrokio. Richman heads to the kitchen to watch Chef Brian Traynam in action and see if he will share the secret to his amazing dish.

Greenspan’s Grilled Cheese is Melrose’s cheesiest gem. Chef Eric Greenspan dishes out only the best in grilled cheese including The Champ. While this sandwich might be a local legend, Richman has inside knowledge about a new off-menu challenger: The Inside Out.

Cha Cha Chili is an Asian/Mexican fusion restaurant eight miles north of Los Angeles in the Chinese business district of Alhambra. Here, Richman uncovers a secret burrito known as the Lomo Burrito, which is a Peruvian-Korean-Mexican experiment chock full of secrets that the foodie host tries to uncover from Chef Gavin Cha.

Jitlada is an unassuming Thai eatery in East Hollywood. While its strip mall exterior may deter some, this local-favorite’s menu boasts 348 traditional Thai items. Richman, however, is looking for the one dish that is missing from the menu: the Jazz Burger. Chef Jazz Singsanong takes him through the makings of this spicy burger.

In the second episode premiering at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT, Richman heads to Chicago to share these Chi-Town secrets:

Scofflaw is a prohibition-era-inspired hideout known for its rather unique menu. While any dish is a winning pick, there is one so secret you not only need to order it by name, but you must also be one of the first five to say it! After learning that only five Guapichosa sandwiches are offered each day, the foodie host hustles to the kitchen to reserve one from Chef Mickey Neely.

Phil’s Last Stand is a hot dog joint in the Ukrainian Village. Richman gets an inside look from Chef Bob Corbett on an off-menu Fried Shrimp Po-Boy, learning about this secret NOLA staple with its Midwestern twist.

A Tavola is an Italian restaurant with the appearance of a residential house in West Town. After finally locating this unassuming dining establishment, Chef Dan Bocik lets Richman in on an off-menu dish known as the Italian Meat & Potatoes – a three-pound rib eye served alongside a generous portion of house-made gnocchi.

La Sirena Clandestina is a South American dive in the Fulton Market District. While there, Richman gets a taste of the off-menu Size Me Up – a hodgepodge of meats specially selected by Chef John Manion. Richman’s personal platter consists of short rib, skirt steak, sweetbreads, linguica sausage and chicken hearts – all grilled to perfection.

Other cities featured this season include (alphabetically): Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Boston; Honolulu; Las Vegas; Milwaukee; Nashville, Tenn.; New Orleans; New York; Portland, Ore. and San Francisco.
