'Man v. Food' Visits Westchester

I got to write a little something about the Travel Channel series, Man v. Food, and some trips the show, and its new host, Casey Webb, were making to Westchester County's River Towns for the new season. That was for Westchester's own Journal News. 

Webb visited Dobbs Dawg House in Dobbs Ferry, The Oath Craft Beer Sanctuary in Tarrytown and J.P. Doyle’s in Sleepy Hollow, and tried some funky foods at each joint.


“What a beautiful spot that was,” says Webb, a Jersey Shore native who said he’d had little exposure to Westchester before this trip.

Man v. Food  sees a restaurateur lay down a challenge to host Webb each episode; it may involve spicy food, such as the habanero ghost chili wings he had at the Lunchbox on Staten Island, or an enormous portion, such as the four-and-a-half-pound Reuben sandwich he encountered in Milwaukee, and a dozen hot dogs at Dobbs Dawg House.
