Milwaukeeans are proud of our ability to polish off a plate of sausages, eat a multi-meat sandwich topped with sauerkraut, and knock it all back with a fully-garnished Bloody Mary.
And now, we can watch someone else do it on national television.
One of the Travel Channelโs most popular series, Man vs. Food, will feature the Brew City.
On the show, which will air on Aug. 7, host Casey Webbโs first stop in town will be at Sobelmanโs Pub & Grill in the Menomonee Valley, where he will have the restaurantโs famous pitcher-sized Bloody Mary that includes an entire fried chicken.

Owner Dave Sobelman is used to the television cameras. In 2010, he and AJ Bombers owner Joe Sorge battled it out on the Travel Channelโs โFood Warsโ for best cheeseburger.
Sobelmanโs will be featured on both Man vs. Food and Travel Channelโs โFood Paradise,โ although Sobelman has not yet been told when that episode will run.
โWhen we first put the Bloody Mary with the chicken on Facebook, I was just trying to be ridiculous,โ Sobelman said. โBut everyone seemed to be thrilled with it. Now I sell 15 or 20 a weekend at our original location.โ
Sobelman said the national exposure has been a lot of fun and he doesnโt get nervous when the television cameras begin to roll.
โItโs really cool,โ he said. โI just get pumped up and ready to go.โ
After Sobelmanโs, Webb will head to downtown Milwaukee and dine at one of the cityโs oldest restaurants, Maderโs where he will be served German beer in a boot, a huge tray of traditional German sausages and one of the chefโs specialties, a pork shank cooked for hours.
Webb will then head to Miller Park, where he will get a pep talk from the Milwaukee Brewers and former Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig.
Heโll need it.
Webbโs last stop will be Jakeโs Deli.

Jakeโs employees have created a special challenge for Webb: the Commish Challenge. Made with two-and-a-half pounds of homemade pastrami and corned beef and topped with sauerkraut, jalapenos and Swiss cheese and then loaded onto an entire loaf of rye bread, the sandwich is nearly five pounds.
Webb will have to eat it in 45 minutes.
The Travel Channel was filming in Milwaukee for four days at the end of March and in early April.
Tyler Barnes, spokesman for the Milwaukee Brewers, said the players enjoyed hanging out with the television crew.
โWe enjoyed hosting the show very much and had an opportunity to involve several of our players,โ Barnes said. โWeโre all looking forward to seeing the finished show.โ
Sean Wille, director of marketing and public relations for StandEatDrink Hospitality Group, which owns Jakeโs Deli, said the Travel Channel spent one day at Jakeโs and the staff came up with the Commish Challenge beforehand.
โWe reinvented a sandwich challenge that had previously existed, but we were able to update it with a twist,โ Wille said.
Jakeโs staff members have attempted to eat the sandwich in 45 minutes and only a few people have been able to do it.
โItโs right at five pounds, so it is no small feat,โ Wille said.
If you want to see if a non-Milwaukeean is able to eat an entire chicken while drinking a Bloody Mary, can stomach a plate full of sausages or is able to eat five pounds of meat, tune in to the Travel Channel at 8 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 7.
