Price Heard Earlier In The Month That The Program, Hosted By Adam Richman, Was Looking For Somebody To Take A Role 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 said likely will air in the next 6-8 weeks, happened Fri. and Saturday.
"I would say, and I have told this to my family, this is up there behind being married and having a child as the nicest thing I've ever done," Price announced.
Price heard earlier this month that the program, hosted by Adam Richman, was looking for somebody to take part 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 shocked when he got word that he was chosen for the show. He quickly asserted yes, notwithstanding without knowing what the challenge would be.
"I was pumped," he announced. "It was a really good feeling. It was somewhat 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 30 hours before the challenge.
"I drank a lot of water that morning, as much as I could, until I couldn't drink any more because it's intended to stretch your belly 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 footage of Price at work in the studio. Price then had the chance to interact with Richman and came away impressed.
"The guy's awesome," Price asserted. "Being in radio for 10 years I have had a chance to meet a number of celebrities. Considering he had a hurricane going over his home, he was by far the nicest celebrity I've ever met."
On Saturday, Price showed up at Starsky's to start filming at six p.m. He also received advice on how to tackle the challenge from Richman, who did almost sixty 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 one person had managed to do the food accomplishment at Starsky's.
"The toughest part is attempting to size up the plate," Price asserted. "When we first looked at it, everybody recounted, 'Oh, that is no real deal. You can do it. ' But as fast as we broke it down we knew it was a genuine food challenge."
Price had one hour to complete the challenge, and - while he won't reveal whether he succeeded - he enjoyed the proven fact that he was surrounded by friends and family, including his spouse, 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 Cost.
"I'm going to remember my family being there for 5 hours standing next to me and cheering all the time, friends being there and some of the really nice stuff that Adam declared to me across the show," Price recounted.
Even Richman was impressed by the support Price got from the bunch.
"The one thing that Adam announced to me during the show was it is wonderful how well Nebraskans stick behind each other," Price said. "They really cheer for people and what they are doing irrespective of what it is."
Price claimed he possibly will not be in the mood for pig wings again in the 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 have retired from food challenges," he claimed, writes tagza.com.
