Line 34:
** On ''Man v. Food Nation'', whenever that episode's challenger fails his/her attempt: "We salute the victorious food."
* [[Consolation World Record]]: When Adam failed to break the Men's world record in the "Don Juan Taco" challenge, Juan created a new Celebrity record category with Adam as the first record holder.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: You wouldn't know it by looking, but the show has documented quite a few people who ''look'' like they could simply not be able to pull off any of these challenges, yet they do.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Adam's first encounter with the "Suicide Wings." He took ''one bite'', and had to stop. He later came back and won though. Keep in mind that the first attempt was performed before the series started.
** Also the "Fire in Your Hole" wing challenge (which featured the Ghost Chili as one of its ingredients) in Sarasota, FL gave Adam his only loss in spicy challenges.
Line 54:
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: One recurring piece of background music sounds suspiciously like "Life in the Fast Lane" by The Eagles.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Adam tends to shout at times whenever doing his voiceovers.
* [[Precision F -Strike]]: The "Kitchen Sink" Challenge

Adam (Narrating): "I forgot about the F'-- tray!" }}
Line 84:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Every chance he gets, Adam gets a burger with bacon and bleu cheese.
** He also tends to like chili a lot.
* [[The Un -Reveal]]: In some of Adam's visits, before he takes the challenge, he participates in city-famous food debates such as the 'Ju(i)cy Lucy' in the Twin Cities. After trying both foods, he stands in front of one of the restaurants, and says that his favorite is (cue the noisy truck). He pulls off a similar stunt with regards to the Coney Island hot dog between American and Lafayette.
* [[Up to Eleven]]: How insane can the ''non-challenge'' foods get? Let's see: the "Fried Chicken Eggs-Benedict"? Everything at the California State Fair (including a potato spiral with a hot dog in the middle, and a deep-fried ''three''-Twinkie-on-a-stick)? Cinnamon rolls with their own gravitational pull?
** Blimpie's in Ann Arbor, Michigan has burger menu consisting of over a dozen different ingredients, of which three are used per burger. The local university calculated that there are over 2.1 '''BILLION''' possible burger combinations.
Line 94:
* [[Waxing Lyrical]]: One episode of Man v. Food Nation featured a pizza filled to the brim with four different chilis (with the habenero being the spiciest). Adam sampled the pizza, then turns to the chef and started quoting rapper DMX.

* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]]: For the 190 pound burger challenge (no that's not a typo) in Detroit, Adam recruited help from an entire local football and hockey team's lineups, a local firefighter precinct, a roller derby squad, Mexican lucha libre wrestlers, and a [[Kiss]] cover band in full makeup
