Four MKE Places Featured on Travel Channel Food Show

“Man Finds Food” at Ardent, the Safe House (home of the Spyburger) and two other establishments.

BY Ann Christenson

TV personality Adam Richman was in MKE to film an episode of his Travel Channel show, “Man Finds Food” – where the former actor is on the “ultimate quest to uncover unique, surprising, delicious and hidden food treasures.” If you tune in on Wednesday, May 27 (8 p.m.), you’ll see the fruits of his labor. The episode features visits to the Safe House, Wisconsin Cheese Mart, Shah Jee Pakistani restaurant and Ardent, where he talks about the East Side restaurant’s transformation into a late-night ramen joint on Friday and Saturday nights.
