The Next Host of Man v. Food?

Man v. Food is one of our favorite shows. He came to Indiana one day and went to three locations: (1) Edwards (2) Gray Brothers, and (3) Bub's Burgers. This show happens to be one of Dad's favorite shows too. Mom and Dad came into town and we decided to have dinner at Bub's since we had all already eaten at the other two restaurants that Man v. Food went to.

As soon as we went there, Dad knew that he had to do the "Big Ugly Challenge". What is the Big Ugly Challenge you ask? Well, it's a burger with a weight of 1 pound AFTER being cooked. That's a 22oz pre-cooked weight. If you eat one Big Ugly you get your picture on the wall. You eat 2 you get a bigger picture on the wall. You eat 3 and you get a poster on the wall. You eat 4 and you get a life size cut out of your picture. Out of the thousands of attempts, only 4 people have eaten 3, and no one has made it to 4.

The burger is enormous - check on the Man v. Food challenge below:

Dad ordered the Big Ugly Buger - it was huge.

He cut it into 4 sections to make is psychologically easier. Here is is, almost 3/4 of the way done.
If you can't tell, he was struggling... actually sweating.
But he's SO close!
And the last bite of success!
Ok, he only made it through one burger so I guess he won't be the next host of Man v. Food, but he said it gave him a greater appreciation for what the guy actually did! Next time you are in Bub's look for Dad's picture on the wall. I have a feeling that Kevin is now going to try it - he can't be shown up!
