To millions of professional wrestling fans around the world, Braun Strowman is the 6’8″ behemoth who defeated 13 men to win the “Greatest Royal Rumble” in 2018 and knocked out Bill Goldberg for the WWE Universal Championship in 2020. But after leaving the squared circle in 2025, the giant ate a meal enjoying a US restaurant. local. improve his skills.

Also, when his television show was called Everything on the Menu, it’s not a matter of style you might expect. Instead, each episode takes the time to taste each new dish. “The whole idea of ​​the show, it’s not like an eating contest,” Strowman said M&F. “You go out to eat, and you see all this beautiful food, and you say, ‘I can’t decide what I want to eat!’ Well, neither can I, but I am blessed enough to be able to order everything on the menu!”

Why ‘Everything’s On The Menu’ Is More Than Just Another Food Show

There is no doubt that as a successful strongman turned WWE Superstar, Strowman was able to use his passion to further his ambitions. At 42 years old, Braun appreciates the fruits of his labor, and showed his emotional side during our interview, shedding a few tears as he reflected on the luck that led him to share his passion for food. “I was uneducated in the culinary arts,” he recalls. “I didn’t go to school for that. I was just blessed, you know, during my time with WWE and being bigger than nature intended.”

Strowman says that as much as he is a WWE star, the act of sharing this love of food is about putting smiles on people’s faces. “You get one shot at life, and I get it, because I always eat early,” explained the mountain man. “I eat things measured in grams, six, seven times a day and it’s normal, but that’s my way of life, and that’s what I like, so this is the ultimate cheating show.”

While the first season of Everything on the Menu ranked as the No. 1 show among all cable entertainment shows in the 18-49 demographic, Season 2 promises growth, pairing Strowman with celebrities like Bert Kreischer and athletes like NFL Super Bowl champion Landon Dickerson. But Strowman tells M&F why he has a deep appreciation for the hospitality industry. “I had a job when I was 12 years old,” the WWE icon explained. “I was washing dishes and frying fish in a restaurant, because I didn’t have luxury things like many people do. It’s amazing that I can talk about this story now.”

Strowman is determined to set young people on the right path as they navigate their challenges, noting that he went down the wrong path himself, at a young age. “I did a lot of dumb things,” he explained of getting on the wrong side of the law. Thankfully, there were important people in his life, and they introduced him to the gym. “You know, weights will never lie to you, they’ll tell you when you’re having a good day, because they’ll let you pick them up. They’ll tell you when you’re having a bad day, because they won’t let you pick them up. But they’re always true,” said the friendly Monster Among Men. It’s probably the only constant I’ve had in my entire life.

Having lost his best friend to suicide, the giant says he has no time for those who say men shouldn’t show emotions. “People need to hear these things and write them down,” said the gifted singer. “It’s something people don’t talk about enough. I’m the softest person on Earth…I don’t mind sharing it with the world, because maybe my message will take one person’s mind off what’s going on and stop them from doing something crazy.”

Strowman shared that, going around the table together is about more than the food you eat. An opportunity to network and share information. The former WWE Champ says his formative years in pro wrestling were spent around the food hall, backstage. “Dinner with the Undertaker, Kane, Big Show, Mark Henry, all my parental figures in wrestling. Those were my wrestling grandfathers and fathers and uncles and all those things, and they taught me a lot,” he reveals.

About his current fitness journey, Strowman tells M&F that he is in a “cutting phase” while eating a staggering 7,300 calories a day. This daily diet includes five pounds of chicken, ground beef, rice, a full bag of spinach, two bowls of cottage cheese, twelve eggs, Greek yogurt, six teaspoons of olive oil and two protein shakes. “I know there are other things in there too, but there’s a lot,” she explained, revealing that she’s bursting at the seams mentally and physically by “embracing breastfeeding.”

Of course, it doesn’t make you Braun Strowman. The sample teaser reveals that he is still toying with the idea of ​​entering a bodybuilding competition and does not say that he will return to the wrestling ring. “I’m in good shape, if not better than before,” he says, “wise, I’m wrestling wise. “I’ve been focusing a lot on the nerve damage in my left leg. I still have 15% atrophy in that leg, but I’m trying to fix that, I’m trying to strengthen some of these other muscles.”

Strowman says his love of food helped him recover. “I thought deli meat was good protein when I was 20,” she shares. “But what you put in is what you get out,” he now realizes, sharing that he now chooses organic meat and feels less bloated as a result. “I’ll use the perfect example,” Strowman said. “There’s a restaurant here in Orlando that’s been near and dear to me since I moved here to start wrestling. It’s called Beefy King. They use homemade bread. They use the same beef, from the same farm in Nebraska, 40 years ago. The only thing they put in it is salt. And it’s the best roast beef sandwich I’ve ever had!

“Everything on the Menu” returns for Season 2 on USA Network starting June 5, 2026.
