Adam Percussion
Price Was Surprised When He Got Word That He Was Chosen For The Show, He Quickly Expounded Yes, Despite Without Knowing What The Challenge Would Be.
Price, a morning radio personality and news 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 said likely will air in the following 6-8 weeks, occurred Fri. 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 best thing I've ever done," Price announced.
Price heard earlier this month that the programme, hosted by Adam Richman, was looking for someone to take part in one of its challenges that was going to be filmed in Omaha.
Price had won a corned beef 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 concentrated on Nebraska foods such as Fairbury hot dogs and Dorothy Lynch salad dressing.
Price was stunned when he got word that he was chosen for the show. He quickly recounted yes, notwithstanding without knowing what the challenge would be.
"I was pumped," he revealed. "It was a really good feeling. It was sort of a shock and a 'What did I am getting myself into? ' kind of thing or 'Am I going to shame myself?'"
Price prepared for his battle with the pig wings by not eating for 30 hours prior to the challenge.
"I drank plenty of water that morning, as much as I could, until I could not drink any more because it's intended to stretch your stomach out," Price recounted.
On Fri., Price spent 5 hours filming material for the show at radio stations in Omaha, where he's employed part time and is a station imaging voice.
The "Man v. Food Country" crew shot footage 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 asserted. "Being in radio for 10 years I've had an opportunity to meet a number of stars. Considering he had a hurricane going over his home, he was by far the nicest celebrity I've ever met."
On Sat., Price showed up at Starsky's to start filming at 6 p.m. He also received advice on how to tackle the challenge from Richman, who did nearly 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 - eight pounds of smoked pork on a mini bone and sweet corn nuggets. Just one person had managed to accomplish the food feat at Starsky's.
"The toughest part is attempting to size up the plate," Price said. "When we first looked at it, everyone said, 'Oh, that is no great deal. You can do it. ' But as soon as we broke it down we knew it was a real food challenge."
Price had an hour to complete the challenge, and - while he won't exhibit whether he succeeded - he enjoyed the proven fact that he was surrounded by friends and family, including his wife, Stephanie, and 5-year-old child Jay.
Between 125-150 folks were at Starsky's during the taping, including some Fremonters who went to support Cost.
"I'm going to remember my family being there for five hours standing next to me and cheering all the time, buddies being there and some of the really nice stuff that Adam said to me across the show," Price expounded.
Even Richman was impressed by the support Price got from the group.
"The one thing that Adam announced to me during the show was it's amazing how well Nebraskans stick behind each other," Price announced. "They really cheer for folk and what they're doing irrespective of what it is."
Price claimed he possibly won't be in the mood for pig wings again in the near future. It is also a sure thing that you will not see Price in a hot dog eating contest or anything of that nature, either.
"I think I've retired from food challenges," he claimed, writes tagza.com.
