Career
Adam is a trained sushi chef as well as a self-educated food expert, and since 1995, he has kept track of all the restaurants he visits in a travel journal. "Man v.

He left the show after he decided to retire from competitive eating in early 2012. During the show's third season, Adam was hired as a paid spokesman for Zantac. In 2011, he hosted "The Traveler's Guide to Life" and "Man v.

Personal Life
Adam Richman is a sports fan and supports the New York Yankees, Miami Dolphins, and the soccer teams Grimsby Town and Tottenham Hotspur; he has been a shareholder in Grimsby Town since June 2020. In June 2014, he participated in the Soccer Aid charity match, playing on the "Rest of the World" team against England. Adam has said that being asked to play in the game motivated him to lose more than 60 pounds.
In June 2014, Richman earned criticism when he showed off his weight loss on Instagram, using the hashtag #thinspiration, which has earned a reputation for encouraging eating disorders. He responded to the backlash, "Maybe you'll acknowledge that just because someone is on TV, they are no less worthy of human kindness, respect, forgiveness or patience…Give me a [expletive] break…if my use of the hashtag offended you, it was unintentional & for that I'm sorry." He also told one of his Instagram critics to "grab a razor blade and draw a bath." The incident resulted in the Travel Channel postponing the premiere of "Man Finds Food."
