She's been watching it for a while now, whilst I quietly go about my 'business' in the corner on the PC. Of late i'm getting more into it, only to see the fat g*y tart fail! Would like to think one day this will happen.
I'd love to know who he was working with there. He's managed to combine sexy, playful, sensitive and modern, with a sprinkling of attitude and a hint of the adventurer's spirit.
The closest i had in this country to any of the burgers/very greasy typical American stuff he has on there (Or i've had in america) is at Bill Wymann's Sticky Fingers in Kensington, TGI fridays or the like comes nowhere closer.
The best thing i can remember seeing on there was a sandwich which was filled full of thinly sliced beef then stuffed with what were like McCoys crisps, then wrapped in foil and cooked. It looked unreal.
Although some of the challenges look pretty rank the show itself is pretty entertaining. I've travelled to some of the less well known bits of the States and the people you meet tend to be far more welcoming than those in big cities, that really comes across on MVF. Think it also shows that while Britain invented the sandwich the Yanks have perfected it, Reubens especially

Aye, they look a tad more appetizing than subway.
Thing is, some people i presume actually think thats what an American Sub is all about ?
The smell of that place is so synthetic. I had one the once because it was the only place open, the best thing about it was 100% the fact you could have gherkins on your sandwich, The cheese is that square plastic shit you can buy.
Nothing in this country i have tried has pushed the boundaries when it comes to sandwiches, it would seem that in america they put anything you could have as a hot meal on bread, here its the same old same old, although i once had a sweet and sour chicken baguette in a small welsh town, the best sandwich i've ever had.
Love a food discussion. Best time of year for it too.
Food is generally cheaper over there, particularly in the way that you get a fuck of a lot more for your money. People's appetites and expectations are bigger too. What would you want in a sandwich? I find anything more than two or three strong-tasting main ingredients tends to be a sensory overload anyway. You can't knock a good cured ham and mature cheddar sandwich.

There is one in Walsall, a monster burger, its 30 quid though and only one person has eaten it, Randy Santell did it a few weeks back, but no one else and he's a speed eating champion
If you have a "flaming grill pub" near you and you like average but good value food, go and try the flaming challenge,
2x 12 ounce burgers 2x chicken burgers Bacon, cheese, A ladel of chilli, Loads of onion rings and a pile of chips
Its only a tenner, i was considering it when i went the other week but i only had a 12oz three cheese and mushroom burger and i struggled to eat that fucker !!
