Is adam richman off of man vs. Food really dead?

We're pleased to tell you that Adam Richman (born on May 16, 1974 in Brooklyn NY) is very much alive! In fact he makes posts from his twitter account almost every day, and usually several times on the days that he does post.

As the host of Man v. Food Nation (2008-2011), Adam traveled the U.S. taking on food challenges such as eating very spicy food, eating huge meals, and other daunting tasks.

His most recent TV series is called Adam Richman's Best Sandwich in America. Richman plays referee in the show as various regions vie for the title of, as you've probably guessed, Best Sandwich.

The finale just aired on August 15, 2012 with the selection of the Best Sandwich in America, and if you'd like to try it yourself, it's DiNic's Roast Pork from the Reading Market in Philadelphia, Pa., located at:

• 1136 Arch St
  Philadelphia, PA 19147
  Phone: (215) 923-6175
  

Right now Richman is gearing up to host the World Food Championships from Nov. 1-4 in Las Vegas with such famous chefs as Nadia G., Marc Murphy, Barbara Fairchild, and Colman Andrews. The total prize purse has reached an impressive $300,000!
