Adam Richman, host of the Travel Channel’s “Man vs. Food” program, yesterday visited Fanning 66 Outpost on Route 66 in Fanning, Mo., including the complex’s World’s Largest Rocker.
Sure enough, Fanning Outpost has posted on its Facebook page several photos of Richman, including having a seat on the rocker.
Richman wasn’t there to take on an eating challenge, like he usually does on the show. According to Jane Reed of nearby Cuba, Mo., he was passing through, and visited with the folks in the store.
Richman likely was going to film a segment at the Cookin’ With Scratch restaurant down the road Newburg, Mo., with its 66-ounce burger challenge, Reed said. The challenge is to eat all this in 66 minutes or less — the 66-ounce hamburger patty loaded with cheese and other toppings, a 1.25-pound homemade bun, and 1.5 pounds of fries.
Earlier in the week Richman was in downtown Tulsa to film a segment at Elote Cafe. If you eat 25 of Elote’s puffy tacos in one sitting, they’re free.
Elote sits just a few blocks from Tulsa’s downtown Route alignment.
