What you may not know is that Adam spent a significant amount of time in New Haven, Connecticut. That's right, Richman is a Yale Graduate. Adam joined us on the Friday (2/23/24) edition of the I-95 Morning Show and we had to ask him about his New Haven pizza loyalty. This is what he had to say.

Dave: Adam we have to ask you since you are such an expert on the New Haven area, from the Big-3 of the pizzas, what is your choice?

Adam: "Modern!"

Adam went on to tell a story about bringing his family to eat at Modern.

He even ended the discussion with a Modern shout-out.

The reason Adam came on our show is to promote Season 5 of "The Food That Built America" which premiered on Sunday, February 25th on the History Channel.

Season five of The HISTORY Channel’s popular nonfiction series “The Food That Built America” returns on Sunday, February 25 at 9PM ET/PT and will satisfy viewer’s appetites with all-new origin stories about America’s most iconic food empires and the pioneers who created them. Featuring well-known brand names such as Olive Garden, Ben & Jerry’s, Charms, Tootsie Roll, Duncan Hines, Betty Crocker and many more, this season will educate viewers about the surprising stories of the sometimes-ruthless visionaries and entrepreneurs who launched some of the biggest, most lucrative food brands in American history.

You can listen to our entire interview with Adam Richman below, there were some sound issues on their end but his answer about his days with Anthony Bourdain at the Travel Channel was quite moving.
