Price Heard Earlier This Month That The Program, Hosted By Adam Richman, Was Hunting For Someone To Take Part In One Of Its Challenges That Was Going To Be Filmed In Omaha.

Price, a morning radio character 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 claimed likely will air in the following 6-8 weeks, happened Friday and Sat..

“I would say, and I’ve told this to my family, this is up there behind being married and having a boy as the best thing I’ve ever done,” Price said.

Price heard earlier this month that the programme, hosted by Adam Richman, was hunting for someone to take a role 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 surprised when he got word that he was chosen for the show. He quickly said yes, notwithstanding without knowing what the challenge would be.

“I was pumped,” he revealed. “It was a very good feeling. It was kind of a shock and a ‘What did I am getting myself into? ‘ sort 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 large amount of water that morning, as much as I could, till I couldn’t drink any more because it’s meant to stretch your belly out,” Price said.

On Friday, Price spent five 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 footage of Price at work in the studio. Price then had the opportunity to have interaction with Richman and came away impressed.

“The guy’s awesome,” Price asserted. “Being in radio for 10 years I’ve had a chance to meet numerous celebrities. Considering he had a hurricane going over his house, he was by miles the nicest celebrity I’ve ever met.”

On Saturday, Price showed up at Starsky’s to start filming at 6 p.m. He also received guidance concerning how to tackle the challenge from Richman, who did almost 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 do the food achievement at Starsky’s.

“The hardest part is attempting to size up the plate,” Price declared. “When we first looked at it, everyone claimed, ‘Oh, that’s no great deal. You can do it. ‘ But as fast as we broke it down we knew that it was a genuine food challenge.”

Price had 1 hour to complete the challenge, and – while he won’t reveal whether he succeeded – he enjoyed the proven fact that he was trapped by friends and family, including his other half, Stephanie, and 5-year-old son Jay.

Between 125-150 folk were at Starsky’s in 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 entertaining all of the time, buddies being there and some of the really nice stuff that Adam claimed to me throughout the show,” Price recounted.

Even Richman was floored by the support Price got from the bunch.

“The one thing that Adam announced to me in the show was it is superb how well Nebraskans stick behind each other,” Price related. “They truly cheer for folk and what they’re doing no matter what it is.”

Price claimed he probably won’t be in the mood for pig wings again in the future. It’s also a safe bet 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 said, writes tagza.com.
