Adam Atomic
Price Heard Earlier In The Month The Program, Hosted By Adam Richman, Was Searching For Someone To Play A Role In One Of Its Challenges That Was Going To Be Filmed In Omaha.
Price, a morning radio character and stories director for Fremont stations KHUB and KFMT, took part in the Pig Wing Challenge at Starsky's Bar and Grill in south Omaha.
Filming for the episode, which Price claimed likely will air in the next 6-8 weeks, took place Friday and Saturday.
"I would say, and I've told this to my family, this is up there behind being married and having a son as the nicest thing I have ever done," Price said.
Price heard earlier this month that the program, hosted by Adam Richman, was searching for somebody to take a role in one of its challenges that was going to be filmed in Omaha.
Price had won a corned meat eating contest back in 2006 when he worked in Arkansas, and was told by producers to submit an audition video.
He recorded a 2-minute video that targeted on Nebraska foods such as Fairbury hot dogs and Dorothy Lynch salad dressing.
Price was stunned when he got word that he was selected for the show. He quickly asserted yes, in spite of not knowing what the challenge would be.
"I was pumped," he said. "It was a really good feeling. It was sort of a shock and a 'What did I get myself into? ' kind of thing or 'Am I going to embarrass myself?'"
Price prepared for his battle with the pig wings by not eating for thirty hours prior to the challenge.
"I drank a lot of water that morning, as much as I could, till I could not drink any more because it's supposed to stretch your gut out," Price claimed.
On Fri., Price spent 5 hours filming material for the show at radio stations in Omaha, where he works part-time and is a station imaging voice.
The "Man v. Food Country" crew shot pictures of Price at work in the studio. Price then had the opportunity to interact with Richman and came away impressed.
"The guy's awesome," Price said. "Being in radio for 10 years I've had an opportunity to meet numerous celebrities. Considering he had a hurricane going over his home, he was by miles the nicest celebrity I have ever met."
On Sat., Price showed up at Starsky's to begin filming at six p.m. He also received guidance concerning how to tackle the challenge from Richman, who did virtually 60 food challenges as host of "Man v. Food."
A little after 10 p.m, Price sat down to take on the Pig Wing Challenge - 8 pounds of smoked pork on a mini bone and sweet corn nuggets. Only 1 person had been able to accomplish the food feat at Starsky's.
"The toughest part is trying to size up the plate," Price said. "When we first looked at it, everybody said, 'Oh, that is no big deal. You can do it. ' But as quickly as we broke it down we knew that it was a real food challenge."
Price had one hour to complete the challenge, and - while he won't show whether he succeeded - he enjoyed the undeniable fact that he was trapped by acquaintances and family, including his other half, Stephanie, and 5-year-old child Jay.
Between 125-150 folks were at Starsky's in the taping, including some Fremonters who went to support Price .
"I'm going to recollect my family being there for five hours standing next to me and cheering all the time, friends being there and some of the truly nice stuff that Adam said to me throughout the show," Price recounted.
Even Richman was struck by the support Price got from the group.
"The one thing that Adam said to me during the show was it's amazing how well Nebraskans stick behind each other," Price announced. "They really cheer for people and what they are doing regardless of what it is."
Price stated that he likely will not be in the mood for pig wings again in the near future. It is also a sure thing that you won't see Price in a hot dog eating contest or anything of that nature, either.
"I think I've retired from food challenges," he announced, writes tagza.com.
