In his new show, Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman, the WWE legend ventures outside of the mat and into American restaurants, showcasing a side of himself that is rarely seen: one that is motivated by true connection, curiosity, and storytelling.

As the former "Monster Among Men" travels the nation to diners, family restaurants, and emerging hotspots, the show premieres on USA Network. The chapters of life that Strowman shares, recovering from a neck ailment that threatened his career, finding meaning outside of the ring, and deciding to spotlight meaningful locations, are what really make this stand out, not just the stack of plates.

Viewers will witness thriving towns, seasoned diners, and the incredibly human tales that underlie each meal in every episode. Strowman connects his wrestling history with his current food tour through this culinary road show, moving from body slams to bread talks and demonstrating that often the simplest dish may disclose the greatest change.


WWE legend's food journey unpacked on Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman

Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman transports fans to eight American cities, including Las Vegas, Chicago, and New Orleans, to explore everything from greasy spoons to upscale dining establishments. In every episode, classic local treasures that have endured for decades are contrasted with new restaurants that are currently making headlines. Strowman explores specialties, speaks with proprietors who have established traditions, and demonstrates the connection between food and community.


Discovering the man behind the "Monster"

Brawls, title victories, and spectacular entrances have long characterized Strowman's career. He examines a more intimate story in this program, though, one of a person who suffered from a fused neck, struggled with what to do next, and came to the realization that something as basic as a café stool may provide a sense of connection.

“The whole world knows Braun Strowman… They know what I’ve done in WWE,” he said, “This is the first time … I get to be Adam Scherr, unscripted … and really showcase my passion for life, food, and everything in between.”

Strowman's enormous size blends in with the modest surroundings with equal ease, whether he is eating a specialty sandwich or sitting opposite a diner proprietor. Through these exchanges, viewers can see that the Monster's hunger for life is still there, but that it is now satiated by human connection, tales, and flavors rather than just titles.


Restaurants, routes & resilience on display

The two goals of Strowman's visitation are to honor a community and showcase a dish. He went to both newer eateries with new life and established ones where the locals frequent every week.

"The first restaurant is more the signature dish of the city… Then you take an opportunity … you’re eating something that is a piece of American history,” Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman star explained.

Inquiring about recipes, the restaurant's history, and the reasons patrons return, he makes strategic maneuvers.

In between stops, he weaves this into his larger narrative about embracing change rather than giving up and finding meaning after wrestling losses. The show skillfully blends celebration and recuperation, whether he is enjoying prime rib or a regional sandwich that helped him get through his early career setbacks. It demonstrates how one wrestler's hunger can be transformed into a feast of tales, elevating Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman above the level of food television.
