A one-hour preview special, Super Bowl Tailgate Takeover, will air on Jan. 30 at 9 p.m.
"Travel Channel fan-favorite and food expert Adam
Richman has crisscrossed the country sampling the most delicious and iconic
food our nation has to offer. Now he's back, to takeover tailgating like
never before," said Lauren Ong, president, Travel Channel. "In
the new greenlit series, Tailgate Takeover, Adam will lead the network's
quest in introducing the latest genre of travel entertainment. He'll take
this national pastime to another dimension as he travels coast-to-coast from
one outrageous build after another."
Both the series and its special are produced by Sharp
