* At one point in Detroit, Michigan, Adam tackles a burger that's literally as big as a ''truck tire''. After he realizes he can't do it alone, who comes to his aid? A team of 40 people, consisting of policemen, firemen, hockey teams, semi-pro wrestlers and a Music/{{KISS}} tribute band. [[spoiler: In a CMOA for the restaurant, they still don't finish it in time.]]

* The San Jose episode of Season 1 had Adam find a student burrito bar which had the 'Burritozilla' challenge. Since he was in preparations for a different challenge that episode, he challenged the bar to complete it in his stead. Enter Joey, a professional competitive eater who ate the burrito in 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Note that this burrito was ''seventeen inches'' long and over '''5 pounds'''!

* Anchorage, Alaska. Adam faces the undefeated Kodiak Arrest challenge, a 6 pound platter of giant king crab claws, crab cakes, a foot-long reindeer sausage, mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables, and a mixed berry crisp with ice cream for dessert, with a time limit of 90 minutes. He spends ''15 minutes'' at the start not even eating, but shelling all of the crab. After that, he goes into overdrive, gets to the dessert, and hands the challenge its first ever defeat in 47 minutes, just over HALF of the time allowed.

* The ending of the Harlem episode where the three members of the [[UsefulNotes/{{Basketball}} Harlem Globetrotters]] that participated in the "Squealer Challenge" ended up giving Adam a one-of-a-kind #1 Harlem Globetrotters jersey after Adam presented them the usual Man V. Food Nation belt that's given out to the participant, win or lose. Also counts as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming when considering that Adam's late dad [[AscendedFanboy used to take him to Harlem Globetrotters games whenever they came to New York.]]
