'The internet wasn\'t thrilled when Casey Webb took over as the new host of Man Versus Food, but in all fairness, this is just one of those times when there was no way to make the internet happy — Adam Richman just isn\'t coming back. So, here are some things you should know about Man v. Food\'s new host. Webb has some serious food cred, and he actually started in the same place many other people do: washing dishes. According to the Travel Channel, he\'s held down almost all the non-traditional jobs that crop up in the food industry. He was working as a bartender when he got the call confirming he was going to be the next \"Man\" in Man v. Food, and it was a phone call that completely changed his life. Webb grew up in Little Silver, New Jersey, so it\'s not entirely surprising that a lot of his restaurant experience comes from New York City. He has said the New York restaurant and food world are at the very heart of all he holds near and dear, making the Man v. Food gig his dream job. Anyone who suspects Webb went out looking for the hosting gig he eventually got is sorely mistaken, and when he talked to Stars and Celebs, he shared the epically accidental way he ended up as Man v. Food\'s new host. After making a few appearances as an actor in small roles, he decided to pitch his agent a food show where he would basically go to different cities and try food at different places. Instead, his agent asked him to audition for a then-unnamed hosting gig. He explained, \"I was like \'Yeah, let\'s do it.\' As an actor, I feel like you\'re never in a position to give up an audition because you might not ever get another one.\" So, he auditioned, and had no idea what he was actually auditioning for. Even after he was told he got the job, he still didn\'t know what he was going to be doing. He added, \"Physically, I turned the page on the contract, and the second page said Man v. Food.\" When he auditioned and signed, he didn\'t even know they were looking for a new host — or that the show was even off the air. #ManVFood #CaseyWebb Bartender Webb | 0:15 Surprise job reveal | 0:49 First food challenge | 1:39 Super diet-conscious | 2:21 Hoping for celebs | 3:08 Role models | 3:43 Bucket list | 4:30 Being himself | 5:12 He\'ll eat anything | 5:53 First to try | 6:44 Community over food | 7:45'
