Man v. Food is a television series that is all about exploring different locations in America to find the best food challenges that the land has to offer. In season 10 episode 2, the show's host, Casey Webb, makes his way to Wilmington, North Carolina, to take on some of the city's biggest and most flavorful food challenges.

In this episode, Casey starts his journey at the Dixie Grill, which is known for its famous "Cheese Pork" sandwich. This sandwich is made up of slow-cooked pulled pork, covered in melted cheese, and served on a bun with a side of fries. This challenge requires Casey to eat as many of these sandwiches as he can in under an hour. Casey quickly learns that the pork is tender and the cheese is rich, leaving him feeling stuffed after just a few bites.

Next up on Casey's food journey is a stop at the Fry Shack, where he meets up with owner Kirsten Mitchell to try her famous crab cakes. These crab cakes are made with fresh, local crab meat and served with a side of hush puppies. Casey's challenge is to eat ten of these crab cakes in under 30 minutes. Although he starts off strong, Casey finds himself struggling to finish the challenge in time, leaving him feeling defeated.

After a brief stop at the Trolly Stop, where Casey tries one of the city's famous hot dogs, Casey makes his way to the Surf House Oyster Bar and Surf Camp. Here, Casey takes on the "Seafood Surf and Turf" challenge, which requires him to eat a massive plate of steamed clams, shrimp, and sausage, along with a side of steak and fries. This challenge is not for the faint of heart, as it requires a hearty appetite and a lot of determination.

Casey's final stop in Wilmington is at the Copper Penny, where he tries the "Penny Burger," which is a massive burger that features two beef patties, cheese, bacon, and an onion ring. Casey's challenge is to eat the entire burger, along with a side of fries, in under 45 minutes. This challenge proves to be extremely difficult for Casey, as the burger is incredibly filling and packed with flavor.

Throughout this episode, viewers get to see Casey push his limits and take on some of the most challenging food challenges that Wilmington has to offer. Along the way, he meets locals and learns about the history of the city, making for a well-rounded and entertaining episode. Be sure to tune in to season 10 episode 2 of Man v.
