These are the good challenges. They actually use real flavour and heat, not just flavourless extract that anybody can do.

[@Peenurpool]

Dude, I really do miss this show with Adam hosting it!!!... I have spent many nights eating dinner and watching this show.... Also many nights watching reruns cuddled on the couch and eating leftovers... Always made a challenge out of whatever it was I was eating to kind of compete with Adam haha... He was the best host and personally for this by far... Actually Adam is the O.G. of this type of thing... seems like after he retired that’s when all the you tubers started to come out because there was a huge hole in that thriving market... would be awesome to see him come back!!! I would bet he would have even more success today if he did 👍👍

[@PowerGlove79]

Habaneros are delicious! Ah the simpler days when Habaneros and Ghost Peppers were considered the pinnacle of spicy

[@Frankybroadcast]

Recently had my first ghost pepper. Yikes. 🥵 lol 7 minutes of insanity.

[@phoebedorsai7145]

@@Frankybroadcast then don't try a Carolina Reaper bc that beat out the Ghost Pepper

[@BleakCosmicVoid]

Don’t try a Primotalii either

[@joshlasky8138]

dude I had ghost chilli extract and I literally don't even like hot sauce anymore...

[@joshlasky8138]

just kidding but seriously fuck

[@carminesilano2345]

[@DOPExPIRATE]

LMFAO homeboy clapped and splashed some salsa in his eye don't you see him flinch. Ahahaha

[@fabiank485]

Looked quite easy. He had enough experience😎

[@SherwoodTaz]

I had them years ago, not really that hot for a pepper head. I have heard they made them spicier a few years ago.

[@billymack4925]

Dude did you guys hear the guy making it said 10lbs habenero there's no way that's all ten pounds

[@andyt2k]

@@billymack4925 for a full batch, don't think for one portion, i mean that would make the fritters like a pound and a half and the salsa 2.5lbs

[@SFNDMK]

Man said he got habenero poisoning from this 💀

[@ga8rielsMsg]

I bet that chef increased the heat after putting that on TV. Made it look simple.

[@aznanimegob]

This is an average level of spice of certain Asian countries' cuisine haha

[@jacksonrelaxin3425]

@@aznanimegob the level of spice yes, but not this amount. One of those puff balls would have the average person tap out.

[@bjkarana]

and an hour later, Adam developed a condition known as "habanero poisoning", no lie, Adam's _own words_ !

[@kevinwoodring]

This challenge is one of the hardest I have done. It isn't so much the spice, it is the horrible taste and the dryness of the fritters.

[@puppethound]

haha, I have been there. Took a wings challenge once and the wings were burnt from the spice, so they weren't good at all.

[@nerptheepic]

Maybe you got a bad batch. I did it and the fritters themselves were pretty good

Now imagine if they replaced the peppers with Reapers... That would be a challenge.. Or even Pepper X...

[@bendominish4642]

That would be interesting to see but then again as Johnny cash would say my ring is on fire pun intended

[@rasvanstanciu4368]

Goo Adam...go!!!The most interesting show on the food network,Man vs Food...is awesome!!!

[@themangledangle1760]

Its crazy seeing modern challenges compared to these. The amount of food has increased 100x lol

[@beardedbatman822]

They have updated the challenge now..they have the Reaper challenge now. I have done the great balls of fire challenge 6 times now. Next up is the Reaper Challenge. But I hear it's intense 😳

[@briangleason5597]

Best wishes to you. Carolina reaper and I are not friends. Lol

[@MORiverFishing]

Why would you do the same miserable challenge 6 times?!

[@SilentDanDisney]

Let me guess he still uses same amount of Reaper in both salsa and fritter.

[@elusivegamergirl]

lol I liked the "Pirates be fireproof" on the top of one guy's picture on the wall of flame

[@DarkEagle-vx9hd]

Actually, the 5 minute rule on this seems rigged and here's why: deep-fried anything is always too hot for about 2 minutes but not chemical heat, thermal heat.

[@glassesthepuppet]

I’ve done this challenge too! Glad to see it’s so popular on KZbin!

[@RollerCoasteraddict]

Adam left the Chef hanging ... @6:56

One of the best... A TRUE LEGEND!

[@cindyjones8336]

He's Crazy!! Gotta' Love the Man!

[@spot_of_tea53]

The producers had Adam wear a tight coat to make him look thinner. It's done in all his episodes.

[@kelefane6233]

He got Habenero poisoning this episode

[@nathaniellopez4610]

Habanero is breakfast for me literally..

[@elisabetrouge]

"Oh, me in my arrogance!"

[@badongo328]

He felt that in the morning

[@Frankybroadcast]

Those plates they serve look delicious.

[@RelentlessOhiox]

Habaneros are not spicy at all. But I've eaten spicy food and been an alcoholic all my life so my taste buds are probably fried.

[@RustinRoark]

Adam's jackets are one size too small in every episode

[@markeichaswayne9468]

Lmao..,, smokkkkeeeennnnn

[@Toppshotta4]

P A R T, Why? Because I gotta 😬

[@davidkraft314]

My strategy, get the solids down first, and then spoon the salsa so it'll slide down.

[@jdubisbest6204]

Adam is a total flamer now... 😆

[@foodskewed9197]

You can tell he was putting on a show. In other episodes he was sweating and barely eating

[@xuna7866]

That's too easy especially after a couple of drinks lol!

[@michaelclayton1827]

I know these challenges would never happen if this was the case! But! It would be nice if there were a few of the people that make these challenges could actually eat them themselves

[@johncasa2488]

Been there, the fire fritters are not that bad. Well when I went anyhow

[@krissaberhagen]

these culinary masters r just sadistic. chef: im gonna give u hell

@@albertawheat6832 yep, I think you have successfully refined the clarification of the misspelling further....douche with letter "o" sounds right.

[@hanj31]

If I see habaneros something on a menu I am inclined to order it 9/10. I say 9/10 because you never know when you're stomach might be having trouble. On most days though Habaneros are nothing. Also I have experienced habanero bur in my eyes like Adam here... no fun.

[@Ann-xv1it]

He should try them with the Carolina Reaper, instead of the other pepper. BECAUSE, the Carolina Reaper is THE SPECIEST PEPPER of them all!!?

[@jackiemurria3966]

Adam kind of reminds me of Fred Savage a little. The Hair, eyebrows and eyes lol

[@TheMike31b]

So I wasn't paying attention and i thought he said "and for this fucker here" lol

Thats a spicy mario meatballs if you asked me😂

[@Gansalf64]

I used to have fireballs falafels made with Carolina reaper sauce at 60%. 1 would make most sweat, bet they're hotter than these habanero fritters. Friend from vebezuala tried 1 said they weren't hot. Next day got a burnt ring of fire...never again.

[@goalscorerlajon]

I'm still amazed that people ALWAYS use HOT and SPICY interchangably; when in fact, they're different. I have had COLD food that was really SPICY. Kind of like how people INCORRECTLY use NATIONALTIY wrong when they actually mean ETHNICITY.
