POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (August 21, 2015) – Adam Richman, author, actor and television personality, will be the featured national celebrity guest at the sixth annual “John Offerdahl’s Broward Health® Gridiron Grill-Off Food & Wine Festival,” set for Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater, 1806 NE 6 Street.

Adam Richman grew up in New York and began his love affair with food early on, sampling all of the diverse culinary specialties the Big Apple has to offer. After years of travel and invaluable on-the-job experience in the various restaurants, Adam began hosting “Man v Food” for Travel Channel, which quickly became their highest rated show. Richman has returned to television to host Travel Channel’s “Man Finds Food” and NBC’s food competition show “Food Fighters.” Adam’s first book, “America the Edible” (Rodale Publishing), hit stands in 2010 and his second book, “Straight-Up Tasty” (Clarkson Potter), came out in June 2015.

Gridiron Grill-Off VIP ticket-holders will receive signed copies of “Straight-Up Tasty” and the opportunity to meet Adam. In addition, Adam will be cooking a recipe from his new book with John Offerdahl at 4 p.m. in the Toyota Cornhole Stadium and Festival Stage.
