Adam Rice is a world renowned food critic who has made a living by traveling all over Equestria, seeking out the finest places to eat, while attempting to compete in some of the worlds greatest eating challenges as he documents his entire journey on flim for the world to see.
He's battled the Angry Joenut in Canterlot, conquered the Pancake Tower in Baltimare, and now his journey has brought him to Ponyville, home of obsessive fan girl Bon-Bon, a zap apple muffin obsessed Derpy, and The Pinkie Promise Challenge. A seven pound cupcake that only one pony has ever been able to finish in one sitting.
A special thanks to Bad_Seed_72 and a Dark Reminder, two wonderful friends who went out of the way to make this story presentable, go check out their own works when you're done here.
Will he pull it off, or will he regret ever stepping hoof in Ponyville?

Nice. You've really captured the show perfectly
4053522 thanks quill :), means a lot to me, now go tell your friends ;)
4053527 tell your friends to read and like it, and I'll get it ASAP
This felt like i was watching a ponified verison of MVF. Excellent job, i look forward to more
4053726
Yeah, looking forward to his visit to Sweet Apple Acres!
If there was ever an animation that needed to be made, it would be for this!
4054221 would you?
4054242
I would, but I don't know how to draw...
...or animate.
I don't know what made you make this, but congratulation, you managed to capture the atmosphere of the show perfectly.
I could hear the voices of Adam and the other characters in my head, but maybe that's just because I watched too much MVF on youtube.
Keep at it.!
Nice. Can't wait for more.
On a side note, is it bad that I did't know about Man vs Food before I read this?
4057349 no, helps, but just like it any you'll be fine
Damn... For the first time ever I want to eat Pony food, and I'm the carnivore in my family. I can't wait to see Adam's future eating in Ponyville.
Awesome, especially the funny Hooves family moments. I can totally see Adam having to take a few extra days to recover from over indulging in Zap apple treats.
is this going to go on after the pinkie promise challenge?
EDIT: whats this a crossover with?
4074505 man vs. food
Acers (should be Acres)
monologes (monologue)
Ponyvile (Ponyville)
I’m more than eager to hear what the ponies here have to say about these golden apple.” (should be an s at the end of apples)
“Yeah,” Sorain digs deeper into his pie while (his) teammates try to act like they don’t know him. (Sorain should be Soarin)
Cajin (Cajun)
“where in public!” (We're in public)
Adam doges another trail of drool. (doges should be dodges)
Lyra’s and Notewrothy’s cake slices. (Noteworthy)
“Just fine Adam.” Applejack replies with a hoof bump. “How’s y’all’s stay in Ponyville?” (Applejack does not need an s at the end, and how's should be how is)
“Great, thanks for asking." Adam starts rubbing his hooves together, "but how about we get going, what we makeing?” (making)
“where gona be on the Silver Screen!” (gonna, and silver screen does not need to be capitalized)
no, we gota sing to the water?” (gotta)
"Yeah, it smell's that good. The best way I can explain it is as if the sweetest apples you have smell were amplified by a trillion." (smell should be extended to ever smelled)
After that flavorful experience, I head out to the benches with the Apple family for a smorgasbord of pretty much every zap apple item availed. (available)
4074740 thanks for the help, and by not disliking because of it
DAMN YOU COMMERCIAL BREAK!!! I can totally see Adam being a big hit with Pound and Pumpkin and both of them cheering him on. I suggest he order some milk to help wash the giant cup cake down.
Ugh...stupid commercials.
I’m in Ponyville, where I’m about to take on sugary foe of monstrous proportions. (there should be an a before sugary)
Chesses (I think was meant to be Cheese)
"Welcome to Ponyville Adam Rice (Rich)
“Yes sir!” Pinkie Pie chirps. "I hope you're ready Adam, because nopony other than me has been able to finish this cupcake in one sitting other than me." (other than me is said twice. Seems like there should be just one instance)
Pinkie lets go with a sheepish grin. “Opps, sorry.” (Oops)
“A whole bottle of villain.” (Should be vanilla, but I still like this one. A bottle of villain gives the cupcake a little extra kick)
*A micro-sized Sombra and Chrysalis hammer on the glass, cussing up a storm in Breezie-like voices*
With the massive cupcake finished, I head out to the dinning area to get ready. (dining)
Adam raises his hoof's in the air. “Let’s get it on everypony!” The crowd goes wild as Adam takes his first bit. (hooves and bite)
ive just been laughing through this whole thing mostly at bon -bon and derpy's anitics
OMFG!!!! BON BON!!!
Good chapter.
Yay, he finished it!
I wouldn't mind seeing more of these with other food places around Equestria.
yaaaaay he won and more bon bon antics
GIVE ME MOAR this was so goodcand funny
4228658 I may not do more, but feel free to check out my other stories.
4228679
awww i have to wait till june for more of lyras and bon bons antics?
4229399 eh, no, but there's a big story involving Silver Spoon, and I have a sad Bon-Bon fall in love in a sad story right now.
Epic crossover bro!
Hey! So I finished reading this and I really enjoyed it. I feel that you captured Adam's personality and that of the show very well. The running gags were great, and I was pleased by the ending.
That being said, there's a lot of grammar mistakes here. if you want, I can point these out to you. With your permission, I'd like to promote this story as well. I think this is the only Man vs. Food crossover, so it deserves some more love!
4291396 You would really do that? Also, do you know where I can find a good artist to do a proper picture for this story?
4291469
Indeed I would and will!
As for an artist, the one I go to for my commissions is Lulubell, but if you want something for free or especially cheap, try the draw request threads on /mlp/.
4296837 you got a link for the free as well? Trouble is I can't draw.
4296837 oh, and how long a wait should I be in for. I mean, I'd wait mouths for you, but I have a slight (slight!) abound meant issues, as well as several projects on my own plate, so some idea of a timeline would hurt :)
4296847
I don't really go on /mlp/ much, but I know someone who gets free art there all the time. boards.4chan.org/mlp/, but proceed with caution. It's 4chan.

For when you'll see the blogpost? Eh, a few weeks? You don't need to do anything for it though. When I do story promotions, I just include the coverart, description, and link to the story, then talk about why I liked it and why it should be read.
Alright, going to be reviewed. This definitely deserves it!
previous chapter: a scene with the whole shop singing a bar song (beer being replaced with sugar). i'm more partial to milk
Homie? Now that's gangsta!
This is excellent. You captured the essence of Man Vs Food perfectly.
Definitely a like and a favorite.
4930660 why thank you
4931239 Think you could make a bonus chapter where the main six are doing something similar to this. With spicy hot food. And they are trying to outdo each other?
Let me guess. Dash was the annoying customer.
Oh my! Looks like somepony has a crush.
There's that Pinkie Pie party that we've been waiting for.
Yeah, that Avatar finale music that you used is more calming that dramatic, but this was an oddly satisfying ending. Yeah, Bon Bon does realize that she gave Adam video evidence that could get her put away for sexual harassment, right? I'm just saying.
I actually like the idea of Bon Bon and Lyra being straight with different borderline obsessive hobbies. It adds to the weird craziness that is their friendship.
