I'd love to see Man vs Food in Lynchburg but wow that video was annoying. Great concept, just couldn't take the guy in it. Way too over the top.

And it is NOT an act at all!

Yea, cole slaw on a hot dog is HUGE in WV; but the yellow relish made out of cabbage is strictly a VA dog/Texas Inn dog.

A WV hot dog has coleslaw, chili (no beans of course), mustard, and onions. If you're ever traveling through WV I suggest checking out http://wvhotdogblog.blogspot.com/ and finding a place to get a true West Virginia hot dog.

Chicago is known for their variety of dogs & Cincinnati is the cheese coney capital of the world.

I really like the idea pitching the over-the-top hot dogs ... haven't seen that angle on the show.

[Hold My Own]

A Moore's hotdog with the Chili might work....they do have a tree growing inside the building which is odd...near Appo and the Chili is some of the hottest stuff you'll ever have.

how did you spend anytime whatsoever at Liberty and not at least heard Patrick yelling about something?? haha

[Hold My Own]

Cant believe he wasnt wearing Blaze Orange....has he given up on that?

[thepostman]

it probably wasn't wednesday, haha

[LUconn]

that's the orange guy!?

[Hold My Own]

Yup...you should remember him...he's been around about as long as #1 Fan....Scottie B.....and BJ

[From the class of 09]

that's the orange guy!?

Somebody told me this guy was all about the fluorescent orange becuase he was hit by a car when he first started as a student at LU...I don't know if it's true

[LUconn]

I don't know all of the specifics but yeah, it's because he got hit by a car.

[Hold My Own]

I dont think it was b/c he was afraid of being seen by future drivers or anything though. I'm pretty sure it was b/c he wanted to "stand out for God" because he was so thankful for living. I believe he almost died.

Go to You Tube and search Patrick Andrew story and you can watch a 7 minute video about his story.

Didn't know Patrick before this project, he was suggested by our client. Was a little leery when I first met him - HE IS OVER THE TOP!! Kind of like Joe, if there are any old folks on here like me. In the video he's much more mellow than his true personality too - believe it or not. But, he worked out perfect. Everyone can have someone talk about food and try and show excitement, which normally comes across fake, but Patrick's real emotion is what makes him great. People are entertained by over the top personalities. Maybe not to the point where they want to hang out, but watching on a video and making you laugh - that works.

Disagree.

[LUconn]

I thought he was entertaining. Not like I was clapping over his performance but it kept my attention. Over the top, but not annoying. At least not in 2 minutes. I even cracked a grin when he pointed out that he wasn't dying (along with the text that indicates "our tomatoes won't kill you"). You guys need to lighten up. It's not like he was hosting a full length episode.

Research would prove different - check out a few of the highest viewed video personalities on You Tube - Here's a start for you -

he was annoying and overly enthusiastic about a cheeseburger and french fries. if he was in a commercial i would probably not buy the product he was selling because of it. kind of like jared.

its not my fault the rest of society is generally stupid.

[RubberMallet]

also, who in the heck still wears those long sleeve white collared striped polo shirts anymore?

also, i hate the lady from the progressive commercials too just to create a baseline understanding of what i find annoying.

[Schfourteenteen]

Obviously not because he's overly enthusiastic. Jared might be the perfect synonym to "cold fish"

he was annoying on a few levels. but you are correct in your observation that he wasn't overly enthusiastic.

I got one for Christmas last year from L.L. Bean, but it is so 2009 that I seldom wear it outside anymore.

Lynchburg, VA - Lynchburg's looking to promote itself as a tourist destination on cable TV and it's using the Cavalier restaurant to do it.

The Travel Channel cable show Man Versus Food has a competition going. They want to showcase tourist destinations with great history and tasty food. Discover Lynchburg thought the iconic restaurant The Cavalier fit the bill.

They made a video about the Cav's food and Lynchburg's history and put it on YouTube to enter the Man versus Food competition. Employees say Lynchburg and the Cavalier should win.

"We are kind of an icon of Lynchburg, so we feel like, yeah, we deserve it, we've been here long enough," said Mel Hartsough, The Cavalier bar manager.
