PROVIDENCE – Man v. Food Nation came to Providence and will air its adventures at local eateries at 9 p.m. on Wednesday on the Travel Channel.

Host Adam Richman visited Bob & Timmy’s, the Haven Brothers, and Olneyville NY System to film an episode for the show’s fourth season, which puts a twist on previous episodes by recruiting “local talent to take on their beloved hometown challenges.”

A behind-the-scenes photo gallery shows Richman discovering the Haven Brothers, the “oldest restaurant on wheels” for a Triple Murder burger and sharing a pizza with a customer at Bob & Timmy’s.

Richman then teams up with the Rhode Island Rebellion rugby team, coaching a player through the 15 fully-loaded (mustard, onions, and meat sauce) hot wieners in 45 minutes challenge at Olneyville NY System.
