Man V Food’s Adam Richman sets sights on Gordon Ramsay and Jon Richardson for new TV show
MAN V Food legend Adam Richman has set his sights on Gordon Ramsay and Jon Richardson for a new TV show.
Adam, 50, usually flies solo on his foodie TV programmes, with UK fans most recently seeing him present Adam Richman Eats Britain.
He is also going it alone on his new series for the Food Network, Adam Richman Eats Football.
But in an exclusive interview with The Sun Online, Adam revealed his admiration for a number of British chefs and TV stars, particularly Gordon.
Gordon, 58, has had TV fame on both side of the pond thanks to his Kitchen Nightmares show, and ITV series with fellow chef Gino D'ACampo and First Dates' Fred Sirieix.
However, the trio went their separate ways last year, and now Adam is hoping Gordon would be up for teaming up with another foodie.

He said: "I played in Soccer Aid with Gordon and we're yet to film any kind of content together, so I'd love to do some stuff with him.
"I'm so jealous of what him, Gino and Fred have done with their road trip."
He added: "I think Nick Frost, he's been a very good friend for years but he is also quite a talented cook and deeply savvy about food.
"I've been begging him to do a food show with me, I say 'listen, let's do a show where it's about things that are indulgent but we could focus on smaller markets, smaller cities whatever, and call it Rich and Frosted', but he didn't respond to that text."

Adam also mentioned his friendship with comedian Jon Richardson, saying he "cares for him deeply" and would love to work with him too.
While fans can only hope Adam is able to get one of his celeb pals on board for a new show, they have his new series to look forward to.
Adam Richman Eats Football sees him combining his two great passions; food and football.
Adam, who is part owner of Grimsby Town Football Club, is eating his way around the homes of world famous British football teams.
He’ll discover the very best eats close to some of the Premier League’s 20 clubs, including West Ham and Chelsea, along with a few non-Premier League clubs.
From Stratford to Newcastle and Stanford Bridge to Everton, Adam’s seeking out the best butty’s to pre match ritual meals and other bits of footie’s finest food in and near the grounds.
There are wonderful places that deserve their chance in the spotlight

Adam loved getting to explore the different locations, traditions and delicacies around the country, and hopes it will inspire football and non-football fans to embrace what's on their doorstep.
He said: "I always say the secret to a good football show is making a football show for non-football fans.
"The secret to a great food show is to make a food show that's not just for foodies and not just for like snooty foodies in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Manchester.
"There's great foods to be had in all of those cities, don't get me wrong.
