Adam Richman: Man vs. Fleetwood Mac
Posted on August 15th 2009 by Jillian Madison

I’m a huge Fleetwood Mac fan, so I recently ordered one of their concert DVDs from 1987, called Tango In The Night. My friends and I watched it tonight, and within the first five minutes, we were all pointing at the TV and screaming, “Sweet baby Jesus! What the hell is Adam Richman doing on stage playing guitar next to Stevie Nicks?”

The moral of the story? There really isn’t one, other than Adam Richman from the Travel Channel’s Man vs Food totally looks like Billy Burnette, Fleetwood Mac guitarist/singer from 19987-1995.

    Yep. Looks like Adam Richman if he stopped eating all those food challenges. Meow.

  2. Kevin says:

    What this site needs is a special section on that douchebag Jeffrey Steingarten.

  3. britt says:

    oh my god that’s funny. I love Adam he reminds me of the pudgy punk kid that you just wanna squeeze.

  4. SJ says:

    I wonder how many bottles of antacids he downs before going to bed.

  5. CherryRose says:

    In the early days of FN – when it was still watchable! – DH and I enjoyed “Dining Around” that was hosted by long-time food critic Alan Richman and fashion writer Nina Griscom. I have Googled tirelessly but cannot find info about whether or not Adam Richman of “Man vs. Food” might be the son of the famous food writer. Anyone here know? TIA

    MAN VS 80s MULLET!

  7. rea-mma says:

    LOL. Man Vs. Hairspray

  8. epic says:

    I knew there was no way the man would be able to eat that hamburger on last week’s episode. It was “dolly parton’s breasts” huge.

  9. sasha says:

    Man vs eyebrows.

    And by the way, HOLYSHIT, that resemblance is frightening.

  10. Patrick says:

    After wikipedia-ing Adam Richman, it’s interesting to know that he has a Bachelor’s in International Politics and a Masters in Dramatic Arts.

    At least the Travel Channel doesn’t pretend that he anything he’s not. He’s just a guy that loves to eat food doing what he does best…EATING FOOD!

    I heart FoodNetworkHumor.com. Please tell me one day there will be a TravelChannelHumor.com, a BravoTVHumor.com, an HGTVHumor.com .. .. ..

  12. JCrown says:

    @Kevin — HATE HATE HATE that guy. Have you ever really watched him eat the food on Iron Chef? First he squishes everything around in his mouth and then inevitably it is horrible, or if it chances to be good, he attacks a fellow judge instead. Every time I see he is a judge I consider not watching. When its him and the short haired asian woman who thinks everything is either salty or oily the whole program is shot to hell.

  13. erin says:

    You can tell that Adam has a half a brain in his head. He makes random comments that show he’s knowledgeable about history, science, etc. Like the show.

  14. BartenderJay says:

    I like Man VS. Food I think its because I really enjoy the man punching the turkey leg….but I’m easy to please. I think Adam is funny. I wanna eat wings and chug some beers with him.

  15. Princess Crazypants says:

    Holy shit.

  16. Princess Crazypants says:

    “When its him and the short haired asian woman who thinks everything is either salty or oily the whole program is shot to hell.”

    @JCrown — we ALWAYS make fun of the “oily” judge on IC! Battle Hamburger would make a great drinking game.

  17. Princess Crazypants says:

    “Please tell me one day there will be a TravelChannelHumor.com, a BravoTVHumor.com, an HGTVHumor.com”

    I’d make them but I don’t watch those channels enough. :( They need some spoofing. Travel Channel is scaring me lately with the beach bimbo stuff and extreme eats where they go find bikini babe waitresses. Just like Comedy Central went from Comedy to the Frat Boy Channel. I hate when channels try to ape other channels (Sorry Comedy Central, you’re not Spike and never will be.)

  18. Kittykitty says:

    Holy lookalikes, Batman! Are we sure Adam Richman isn’t Billy Burnette’s secret love child?

  19. Princess Crazypants says:

    Oh yeah I decided to actually click those ads over thar —>
    because I can’t afford to give you an actual money donation. So I hope those ads over thar (can you tell I like saying “thar”?) are linked up to some kind of hugely profitable moneymaking ad campaign because I’m gonna click them when I visit. Because that’s what they are there for. I mean thar for.

  20. Sandra says:

    Holy Crap he looks just like him! The mullet works and kinda looks like George Clooney when he was on the Facts of Life.

  21. Cat Chow says:

    @BartenderJay – don’t for the the Lucha Libre mask the “man” is wearing as he punches the turkey leg, lol!

    @kittykitty – ha ha ha I thought the same thing! (the love child aspect). You never know!

    The other day Adam ate some apocalyptic hamburger with some chilies that should have killed him. I knew he would be able to do it because earlier in the season he ate some curry that the chef who made it wore a hazmat suit.

  22. Cat Chow says:

    @Kevin – I agree…that curmudgeon J.Steingarten needs a special section here at FNH. That guy would complain about Julia Child if he could.

  23. Jess says:

    Hee. I love it when mocking FN meets my favorite band. It goes without saying, but Lindsey Buckingham >>>> Billy Burnette…even if I do really love Tango in the night. And Lindsey’s 70s ‘fro > Billy’s 80s mullet any day.

  24. Amy says:

    @ Kevin

    TOTALLLLY AGREE!! He’s such a food snob, is impolite, and sometimes down-right nasty to his co-hosts. God, if I have to hear his speech-impediment one more time I’m going to die!

  25. Sandra says:

    I’ve always thought J. Steingarten was disgusting. It always seems like the food is going to dribble out of his mouth, too much saliva action going on.

  26. Sarah says:

    Jeffery Steingarten. Has anyone ever read his “so called NYTimes bestseller” ? I think they made that shit up. I’ve never seen it in a bookstore.

    That short haired pointer, Akiko who thinks everything is oily is almost as annoying as Alex ( do you like my large Bum) Guarnaschelli and totally detracts from the process of judging.

    More Food Network creations drunk on so called fame.

  27. TheOtherErin says:

    #1? Abso-floggin-lutely, Adam looks like Billy. I saw that pic and it was my first thought. Awesome.

    #2. @CatChow re: the “apocalyptic hamburger:” OMG YES. That was just on recently and, believe it or not, that was my introduction to Man vs. Food, which I had previously dismissed as a stupid concept more suited for the Travel Channel or something. I am now hooked. Adam is very likable. I’d throw down a beer with the guy.

    #3. @ everyone who loathes Steingarten. Please allow me to join your club. He is a snob in the worst way, in that I can’t even appreciate his snobbiness. There’s just no reason to be that curmudgeonly. Bah!

  28. JCrown says:

    @theothererin: Curmudgeon is the PERFECT description!!

  29. Joley H. says:

    This picture made me think of George Clooney when he was on the Facts of Life a million trillion years ago..anyone else?

  30. BartenderJay says:

    @ Cat Chow- Lucha Libra masks, FTW!

  31. Ferd says:

    I like Man v. Food. Adam seems like a lot of fun and good humor. Somehow, when he goes into the kitchen to see how the dish is prepared, he doesn’t act like Douchebag Fieri.

  32. BurgeoningFoodAddict says:

    What I want to know is when the hell is 19987?

  33. Amanda says:

    what you are doing is wrong ( man vs food ) there are starving people in the world and you are stuffing your face until you hurt when starving kids would give an arm or a leg to have just one bite ! why dont you take all that pointless food you stuff your face with and donate it to the starving people of the world !

    • KEN says:

      well then it wouldnt be called Man vs Food, it would be called something like CCF, or maybe even better, Call Bob Geldolf, maybe they can do another benefit for starving kids !!

  34. yanna says:

    i love adam richman idc he is so cool because he doesnt care wat peole think

  35. Sadman says:

    This guys looks like the offspring of Adam Richman and George Clooney (facts of life years)

  36. joe mauro says:
