Adam Richman travels to Manchester, New Hampshire, for the season 6 finale of Man v. Food. Known for its rich history and strong sense of community, Manchester is a city that takes pride in its local cuisine. Adam sets out to explore the best food the city has to offer, starting with a visit to Red Arrow Diner, a classic New England diner that's been serving up hearty breakfast dishes for over 100 years. Here, Adam takes on the famous Triple D Challenge, a massive plate of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage that weighs in at over six pounds. Will Adam be able to conquer this legendary meal?

Next up, Adam heads to The Wild Rover, a cozy Irish pub that's been a local favorite for over 20 years. Here, Adam is introduced to the world of boxty, a traditional Irish potato dish that's fried to perfection. The Wild Rover's boxty is stuffed with tender corned beef and cabbage, making for a hearty and satisfying meal. Adam also tries his hand at making his own boxty, with help from the pub's expert chefs.

Adam's next stop is Bonfire, a contemporary restaurant that's known for its wood-fired pizzas and creative cocktails. Here, Adam tries out their signature lobster mac & cheese pizza, a decadent dish that combines the best of both worlds. Made with fresh lobster, creamy mac & cheese, and a crispy crust, this pizza is a feast for the senses. Adam also samples some of the restaurant's unique cocktails, like the Smoked Old Fashioned, which is infused with the flavors of hickory smoke.

No trip to Manchester would be complete without a visit to the infamous Red Sox vs. Yankees Sports Bar, where fans of both teams can come together and enjoy a cold beer and some classic pub grub. Adam takes on the pub's famous Double Header Challenge, which consists of a pound of wings and a massive burger with all the fixings. Will Adam be able to handle the heat, or will he strike out in defeat?

Finally, Adam wraps up his visit to Manchester with a stop at The Puritan Backroom, a local institution that's been serving up classic New England fare for over 100 years. Here, Adam samples some of their signature chicken tenders, which are coated in a special blend of flour and spices and fried to a golden perfection.
