About Man v. Food

Man v. Food aired on Travel Channel (2008–2019) / Cooking Channel (2019–2022) (2008–2022) in a showcase format. We list it here in plain text only: no logos, no title-card artwork, no episode stills. The show name is used to identify which episodes featured which restaurants — nothing on this site is affiliated with or endorsed by any network or production company.

Season and episode facts on this hub were compiled from public sources including the show's Wikipedia article . Facts only — never its wording.

Frequently asked questions

How many Man v. Food restaurants are still open?

Of the 507 locations we track, 349 are recorded open and 118 are recorded closed as of the dates shown on each page. Another 31 changed name, address or ownership rather than simply closing.

Which states does this show cover?

California, New York, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Arizona, Minnesota, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Michigan, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Indiana, Oklahoma, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Utah, Alabama, District of Columbia, Delaware, North Dakota, PR, South Dakota, Vermont, and Kansas.

How current are these statuses?

Every record shows the date it was last checked and the source it rests on. If you find one that's out of date, tell us — we aim to resolve corrections within about a week and downgrade a page's confidence label rather than leave a disputed claim standing.
