Food fanatic Adam Richman has told Digital Spy that he is desperate to film a new show in the UK.
"I would do a show in the UK in a heartbeat - it's something that I truly pray will happen," revealed Richman, who is the host of two new series beginning on Food Network UK this weekend.
Man Finds Food will see Richman try "some of the absolute best food" he's ever eaten as he uncovers obscure eating joints and 'hidden' items on menus across America.
Food Fighters is a competitive cooking show in which amateur cooks take on professional chefs - or as Richman puts it, "the great culinary minds of our time".
Man Finds Food launches in the UK on Saturday (April 4) at 5pm, with the first episode of Food Fighters following on Sunday (April 5) at 5pm.
Food Fighters has been renewed for a second season by Us broadcaster NBC.

Alamos® Wines and popular TV personality Adam Richman, host of NBC’s “Food Fighters,” have teamed up to create a series of five new Daring Pairing recipes designed to pair with Alamos’ high-quality wines from Argentina. Richman became inspired by the versatile wines during a trip to Mendoza, Argentina earlier in the year on behalf of the brand. “After my trip to Argentina, I couldn’t wait to get in the kitchen to experiment,” said Richman. “I tossed traditional food and wine pairing ‘rules’ out the window and simply created dishes that I would enjoy eating with friends. I think you’ll find that the recipes I came up with prove that you really can dare to pair Alamos wines with just about any type of food, whether it comes from my kitchen in Brooklyn or the streets of Argentina.” The high...

For 10 months, they've been pictures on the side of milk cartons, but... "Crossbones" lives! "Undateable" lives! "The Night Shift" lives! NBC announced six scripted additions to its already busy summer slate on Wednesday (March 26) and if you were looking for premiere dates for all of the mysteriously vanished shows the network unveiled last May, we've found them! In all, NBC will be airing six original scripted shows this summer, the most for any broadcast network in more than 20 years, so NBC says. [By my count, ABC's summer schedule will include five original scripted shows.] Once again: Never say that there's nothing to watch on TV in the summer. On to those premieres... [Note that NBC previously announced premiere dates for "Last Comic Standing" (Thursday, May 22), "American Ninja Warrior" (Monday, May 26) and "America's Got Talent" (Tuesday, May 27).] Up first on the scripted front is "The Night Shift," airing Tuesdays at 10 p.m. starting on May 27, when it'll likely get a solid bump from the "Agt" premiere.
