00:00:01,068 --> 00:00:03,002
[chanting] Man versus Food!
Man versus Food!
2
00:00:03,004 --> 00:00:07,239
I'm at Orlando's Cheers Sports
Bar to take on the Team
"Chow Down" challenge.
3
00:00:07,341 --> 00:00:08,907
How many people have
taken this thing on?
4
00:00:08,909 --> 00:00:10,809
Many have tried,
not many have finished.
5
00:00:10,811 --> 00:00:12,511
If the hometown hero and I
6
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:16,849
finish this 8.5 pound
pub grub feast in under
30 minutes...
7
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:19,318
It's a lot of food.
I can't even eat
a quarter of that.
8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,220
...we each win
a free T-shirt.
9
00:00:21,222 --> 00:00:22,654
Chow down the challenge!
10
00:00:22,656 --> 00:00:26,025
-[all cheering]
-Who's gonna help me
take on this challenge?
11
00:00:26,027 --> 00:00:30,062
-[all cheering]
-That would be me!
12
00:00:30,164 --> 00:00:32,798
[all chanting] Joey!
Joey! Joey!
13
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,900
-Joey, are you ready?
-I am ready.
14
00:00:34,902 --> 00:00:37,803
-Let's do this, Orlando!
-[all cheer]
15
00:00:37,805 --> 00:00:41,907
-[dramatic music playing]
-[Casey] For years, food's
army has grown unchecked.
16
00:00:41,909 --> 00:00:43,208
Oh, my God!
17
00:00:44,045 --> 00:00:44,810
Bigger...
18
00:00:44,812 --> 00:00:45,844
Wow.
19
00:00:45,913 --> 00:00:46,912
...spicier...
20
00:00:46,914 --> 00:00:47,713
Whoo!
21
00:00:47,715 --> 00:00:48,614
...bolder.
22
00:00:48,616 --> 00:00:49,314
What is that?
23
00:00:50,117 --> 00:00:51,450
But a hero rises...
24
00:00:51,519 --> 00:00:52,784
That's tremendous.
25
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:54,820
...ready to taste
the nation's most
epic eats.
26
00:00:56,590 --> 00:00:57,723
Uh...
27
00:00:57,725 --> 00:00:59,458
-[crowd cheering]
-I'm Casey Webb...
28
00:00:59,527 --> 00:01:00,359
Yes!
29
00:01:00,427 --> 00:01:02,061
...holding the banner of ma
30
00:01:02,063 --> 00:01:05,230
and armed with years
of experience in
the restaurant industry...
31
00:01:05,966 --> 00:01:07,399
[chanting] Casey! Casey!
32
00:01:07,401 --> 00:01:08,600
...I go into battle.
33
00:01:09,637 --> 00:01:12,404
-Bring out the steak!
-[all cheering]
34
00:01:12,406 --> 00:01:14,940
Food, your days
are numbered.
35
00:01:14,942 --> 00:01:16,208
It's gonna be
a wild ride!
36
00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:19,111
The mighty Casey
has a taste for victory.
37
00:01:19,113 --> 00:01:20,612
[whooping triumphantly]
38
00:01:22,016 --> 00:01:24,716
-This is Man Versus Food.
-[bell dings]
39
00:01:24,718 --> 00:01:26,018
[bell dings]
40
00:01:26,620 --> 00:01:29,054
[upbeat music playing]
41
00:01:29,056 --> 00:01:31,156
My palette-expanding
pilgrimage
42
00:01:31,258 --> 00:01:32,925
takes me to Orlando, Florida
43
00:01:32,927 --> 00:01:34,827
for a hunger-slaying sandwic
44
00:01:34,829 --> 00:01:36,528
A seriously famous foot-lon
45
00:01:36,530 --> 00:01:39,598
and a challenge so big
I need to call in back-up.
46
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,234
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
This is my part, man.
What's going on?
47
00:01:42,336 --> 00:01:43,735
Oh, this is your...
I'm sorry.
48
00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:44,703
Do you mind
if I do it with you?
49
00:01:44,705 --> 00:01:46,472
-No, no, yeah, yeah.
-All right.
50
00:01:46,507 --> 00:01:49,641
[together] Welcome
to Man versus Food, Orlan
51
00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:54,046
[Casey] I'll catch up
with Joey later, but first,
I'm exploring Orlando!
52
00:01:54,115 --> 00:01:58,150
This sun-soaked city is hom
to over a dozen theme parks
53
00:01:58,218 --> 00:02:01,220
And, as great
as the rides are,
54
00:02:01,222 --> 00:02:04,123
equally thrilling
is the food.
55
00:02:04,125 --> 00:02:05,724
When it comes
to Florida barbecue,
56
00:02:05,726 --> 00:02:08,660
no spot has bigger fans
than Pig Floyd's.
57
00:02:08,762 --> 00:02:10,229
This star of the smoked
meat scene
58
00:02:10,231 --> 00:02:12,631
is grillin' up a fusion
of fun flavors
59
00:02:12,633 --> 00:02:14,600
that truly rock.
60
00:02:17,805 --> 00:02:19,738
Opened in 2014,
61
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,341
Pig Floyd's has rocked
the barbecue world
62
00:02:22,409 --> 00:02:24,243
by inventing
what it calls
63
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:26,044
Urban Barbakoa.
64
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:27,813
Think about someone
doing barbecue
65
00:02:27,815 --> 00:02:29,214
with like
the barbecue meats...
66
00:02:29,216 --> 00:02:30,716
-Yeah.
-...but then putting
a spin on it.
67
00:02:30,718 --> 00:02:33,452
Cause it has just such
a mix of flavors.
68
00:02:33,521 --> 00:02:36,021
Orlando is
a multi-cultural arena.
69
00:02:36,023 --> 00:02:37,856
That's what this is.
This is an infusion...
70
00:02:37,925 --> 00:02:39,725
-That's what we should expect
from our food, too.
-Correct.
71
00:02:39,727 --> 00:02:42,127
[Casey] Latin and Asian
flavors infuse many favorite
72
00:02:42,129 --> 00:02:44,363
like the honey sriracha rib
73
00:02:44,431 --> 00:02:46,298
and a Big Floyd...
74
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:49,101
with smoked sausage,
pulled pork, brisket,
75
00:02:49,103 --> 00:02:52,237
citrus peanut slaw
and spicy fries.
76
00:02:53,407 --> 00:02:56,808
And no dish illustrates
this delicious evolution
77
00:02:56,810 --> 00:02:58,443
like the Matahambre.
78
00:02:58,545 --> 00:03:00,646
Heaps of juicy smoked briske
79
00:03:00,714 --> 00:03:02,948
topped with fried
queso fresco,
80
00:03:02,950 --> 00:03:05,117
fancy sauce,
crispy potato sticks
81
00:03:05,119 --> 00:03:08,086
and a perfect
sunny side up egg.
82
00:03:08,088 --> 00:03:11,423
There's a reason
they call it
the Hunger Killer.
83
00:03:11,425 --> 00:03:12,824
The cheese with the brisket,
84
00:03:12,826 --> 00:03:14,960
it's like something
you've never had before.
85
00:03:14,962 --> 00:03:17,329
You get that, like,
nice umami from the meat.
86
00:03:17,331 --> 00:03:19,398
But then like the tangy
sweetness from the sauce.
87
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,600
'Cause usually brisket
kind of stands
on its own, right?
88
00:03:21,602 --> 00:03:22,701
-Right.
-It's like, brisket by itself.
89
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,203
-Maybe a little bread.
-It's super good.
90
00:03:24,205 --> 00:03:26,305
The egg is perfect on top.
91
00:03:26,307 --> 00:03:27,739
Hunger's gone.
92
00:03:27,741 --> 00:03:30,409
[Casey] I head to the kitche
hungry for a taste of my own
93
00:03:30,411 --> 00:03:31,710
Whoa.
94
00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:32,711
Hey, Gavin.
95
00:03:32,713 --> 00:03:34,213
Hey, what's going on, man?
How are you?
96
00:03:34,215 --> 00:03:35,214
-How are you, man?
-I'm well.
97
00:03:35,216 --> 00:03:36,114
This place is busy.
98
00:03:36,116 --> 00:03:37,249
-[laughs]
-Yeah.
99
00:03:37,318 --> 00:03:38,350
So, what are we making?
100
00:03:38,452 --> 00:03:40,085
We're gonna be making
the Matahambre today.
101
00:03:40,087 --> 00:03:42,354
It's gonna be also known
as our Hunger Killer.
102
00:03:42,456 --> 00:03:44,122
It's one of our most massive
sandwiches that we have.
103
00:03:44,124 --> 00:03:46,658
[Casey] Sandwich prep start
with a whole trimmed briske
104
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,528
doused in a unique blend
of yellow mustard
105
00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:50,929
and pickle juice.
106
00:03:50,931 --> 00:03:53,498
So pickle juice is a great
marinade because it's acidic.
107
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:55,300
It's gonna not only
flavor the meat,
108
00:03:55,302 --> 00:03:56,868
it's also gonna tenderize
at the same time.
109
00:03:56,870 --> 00:04:00,639
After a generous coat
of super-secret spice rub..
110
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:02,541
-That's a thing
of beauty, brother.
-Yeah, that's great.
111
00:04:02,643 --> 00:04:04,109
[Casey] . ..the tangy,
spiced brisket
112
00:04:04,111 --> 00:04:06,311
gets the traditional
low and slow treatment
113
00:04:06,313 --> 00:04:07,246
for 12 hours.
114
00:04:09,049 --> 00:04:10,816
The color is nuts.
115
00:04:10,818 --> 00:04:12,317
Look at the bark
on this thing.
116
00:04:13,721 --> 00:04:14,853
Wow.
117
00:04:14,922 --> 00:04:16,822
-It's charged with smoke.
-Yeah.
118
00:04:16,824 --> 00:04:18,423
-So tender and juicy.
-Yeah.
119
00:04:18,425 --> 00:04:19,458
It melts.
120
00:04:19,460 --> 00:04:21,793
[Casey] Next we slice some
queso fresco,
121
00:04:21,795 --> 00:04:23,662
a creamy, unaged
Mexican cheese,
122
00:04:23,731 --> 00:04:25,664
and toss it in cornstarch
123
00:04:25,732 --> 00:04:27,299
before it goes
into the fryer.
124
00:04:27,301 --> 00:04:30,235
Queso fresco itself
kind of stays together
when it's firm.
125
00:04:30,304 --> 00:04:33,038
-Yeah. Yeah.
-But when you melt it,
it's like the gooiest cheese.
126
00:04:33,107 --> 00:04:34,806
[Casey] Now,
we're ready to build.
127
00:04:34,808 --> 00:04:36,141
[Gavin] This is our
fancy sauce.
128
00:04:36,243 --> 00:04:38,810
Ketchup, mayo, garlic
and olive oil,
all mixed together.
129
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:40,545
[Casey] Lots of flavor.
130
00:04:40,647 --> 00:04:41,613
-Holy crap.
-Some brisket going on.
131
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:43,148
[Casey] Look at all
that brisket. [chuckles]
132
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:44,950
Oh, yeah.
133
00:04:44,952 --> 00:04:46,518
-[Casey] We got our
fried cheese.
-You have to. You have to.
134
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,587
This... and more
special sauce.
135
00:04:48,589 --> 00:04:50,155
-More sauce.
-[laughs]
136
00:04:50,223 --> 00:04:54,259
[Casey] And crispy potato
sticks and a perfect
sunny side up egg
137
00:04:54,295 --> 00:04:58,530
and the Matahambre is ready
for this hungry hombre.
138
00:05:05,706 --> 00:05:07,406
The brisket is so tender,
139
00:05:07,408 --> 00:05:09,041
it just, basically
it melts in your mouth.
140
00:05:09,343 --> 00:05:10,909
Nice.
141
00:05:10,911 --> 00:05:15,447
A rich rub, that briny flavor
just like seeped
right into our brisket.
142
00:05:15,516 --> 00:05:18,517
-[Gavin] Yeah.
-And the fried cheese
is just exploding...
143
00:05:19,053 --> 00:05:20,519
within the sandwich.
144
00:05:20,521 --> 00:05:23,088
And our fancy sauce is so go
and it marries with the egg
145
00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:25,624
It's like two different
sauces, it's delicious.
146
00:05:25,626 --> 00:05:26,825
You'd order that next time?
147
00:05:27,294 --> 00:05:28,192
Yes.
148
00:05:29,463 --> 00:05:31,697
This sando assassinated
my hunger
149
00:05:31,699 --> 00:05:33,665
but it's time to rise
from the ashes.
150
00:05:33,734 --> 00:05:35,801
[crowd cheering]
151
00:05:35,803 --> 00:05:38,036
They're attacking the biggest
plate of food I've ever seen.
152
00:05:38,038 --> 00:05:39,671
[in sing-song voice]
Oh, my God!
153
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:42,808
Team "Chow Down" challenge,
you're getting buried!
154
00:05:44,545 --> 00:05:46,645
-Sounds real tough, huh?
-[both laugh]
155
00:05:48,215 --> 00:05:51,216
-[crowd cheering]
-[bell dinging]
156
00:05:51,218 --> 00:05:53,418
[upbeat music playing]
157
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:57,723
[Casey] I'm in Orlando,
Florida to take on the Team
"Chow Down" challenge.
158
00:05:57,725 --> 00:06:02,494
And if there's anyone
who knows how to be in sync
with his team,
159
00:06:02,496 --> 00:06:05,564
it's my partner
Joey Fatone.
160
00:06:05,665 --> 00:06:09,501
But before we tackle
over 8 pounds of bar food,
161
00:06:09,503 --> 00:06:12,804
Joey's gonna show me
how Orlando does hot dogs.
162
00:06:12,806 --> 00:06:15,574
When you're craving dogs,
no normal frank will do.
163
00:06:15,576 --> 00:06:17,242
That's why
I'm singing the praises
164
00:06:17,311 --> 00:06:18,944
of Orlando's Fat One's,
165
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:20,712
where they're serving
extra-long dogs
166
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:23,715
topped with the most
heavenly of pile-ons.
167
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:26,118
-Hey! Can I get
one Fat One please?
-[server] Absolutely.
168
00:06:28,155 --> 00:06:29,921
Whoa, you weren't kidding.
169
00:06:29,923 --> 00:06:35,260
In 2018, New York native
turned Orlando boy band
superstar Joey Fatone
170
00:06:35,329 --> 00:06:37,629
realized a lifelong
foodie dream
171
00:06:37,631 --> 00:06:39,131
and opened Fat One's.
172
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:41,500
I come for Joey Fatone,
173
00:06:41,502 --> 00:06:44,002
but I stay
for the biggest hot dogs
in Florida.
174
00:06:45,205 --> 00:06:46,138
I'm here for the hot dogs.
175
00:06:47,207 --> 00:06:49,508
Each Fat One
is a half-pound,
176
00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:51,309
100% Angus beef hot dog
177
00:06:51,311 --> 00:06:53,745
that stretches over
a foot long,
178
00:06:53,847 --> 00:06:56,648
topped with an array
of unique flavor combination
179
00:06:56,717 --> 00:07:00,018
inspired by Joey's
life and travels.
180
00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:01,453
They're kind of creating
new things,
181
00:07:01,522 --> 00:07:03,822
and things you wouldn't think
typically go on a hot dog.
182
00:07:03,824 --> 00:07:05,123
[Casey] That's not
your mum's relish.
183
00:07:05,125 --> 00:07:07,726
No, no. Not at all.
So I mean, this is...
184
00:07:07,728 --> 00:07:08,693
a game-changer right here.
185
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:10,328
Like The Angelo,
186
00:07:10,330 --> 00:07:12,631
topped with whiskey infused
bacon jam,
187
00:07:12,633 --> 00:07:15,100
house-made aioli
and jalapeno.
188
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:16,802
And the Kimchi dog,
189
00:07:16,804 --> 00:07:19,704
topped with spicy kimchi,
crunchy ramen noodles
190
00:07:19,706 --> 00:07:21,173
and sriracha mayo.
191
00:07:21,175 --> 00:07:23,842
Combination of flavor,
the heat, the spice,
192
00:07:23,911 --> 00:07:27,012
and the crushed ramen
has the crunch
you're looking for.
193
00:07:27,014 --> 00:07:28,213
It's definitely
worth the drive.
194
00:07:28,215 --> 00:07:29,781
And it's phenomenal.
195
00:07:29,783 --> 00:07:33,118
[Casey] But nothing is
tearing up the hearts
of hot dogs fans
196
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,619
like The Bensonhurst.
197
00:07:34,621 --> 00:07:36,822
Named for Joey's
Brooklyn birthplace,
198
00:07:36,824 --> 00:07:39,324
it's loaded with creamy
pimento cheese,
199
00:07:39,326 --> 00:07:41,960
crispy bacon
and chopped onion.
200
00:07:41,962 --> 00:07:44,629
Think you'll find a dog
like this anywhere else?
201
00:07:45,098 --> 00:07:47,065
Forget about it!
202
00:07:47,133 --> 00:07:49,100
[woman] One of the best
hot dogs I think I've ever,
ever had.
203
00:07:49,102 --> 00:07:51,536
It's hardy, there's a good
creaminess,
204
00:07:51,638 --> 00:07:53,672
-with that pimento cheese
that comes in on there.
-[man] Yeah.
205
00:07:53,674 --> 00:07:55,607
And it just compliments
everything so well.
206
00:07:55,609 --> 00:07:57,709
Everybody knows
I'm a Joey Fatone fan.
207
00:07:57,711 --> 00:08:00,712
And I'm definitely
a Fat One's fan for life.
208
00:08:00,714 --> 00:08:02,346
I love it.
209
00:08:02,348 --> 00:08:05,050
[Casey] I head to the cart
to make a Fat One
with Fatone himself.
210
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:07,118
-Hey, Joey.
-Hey! How's it going, buddy?
211
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,054
-Casey, good to see you, man.
You doin' all right?
-Good to see you.
212
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:11,456
-What are we making today?
-Oh, we're making
The Bensonhurst.
213
00:08:11,558 --> 00:08:12,357
-Bensonhurst.
-Yes.
214
00:08:12,459 --> 00:08:13,558
You know,
growing up in Brooklyn,
215
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,026
you know, you either get
a slice of pizza or a hotdog
216
00:08:15,028 --> 00:08:15,960
-on the street corner.
-Right.
217
00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:17,529
Not everybody's been
to Bensonhurst.
218
00:08:17,531 --> 00:08:19,397
-No.
-So I'm trying to bring
Bensonhurst to them.
219
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,199
I love it. So yeah,
let's make this thing.
220
00:08:21,201 --> 00:08:25,003
[Casey] Joey's pimento chees
starts with a big block
of cream cheese.
221
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:26,605
The South loves
their pimento cheese.
222
00:08:26,607 --> 00:08:29,407
But it was actually invented
in New York.
223
00:08:29,409 --> 00:08:31,009
-We just love cheese on dogs.
-Exactly.
224
00:08:31,111 --> 00:08:33,645
So this is another way
to put cheese on a hot dog
right there. Right?
225
00:08:33,714 --> 00:08:35,947
Joey adds mayo
and cheddar cheese
226
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:37,649
and slowly blends it togethe
227
00:08:37,718 --> 00:08:39,184
We're throwing
the pimentos now.
228
00:08:39,186 --> 00:08:41,520
We wanna keep blending
till they get really, really
really in there.
229
00:08:41,522 --> 00:08:44,356
Pimentos are tiny red peppers
that are a little sweet,
230
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:48,059
not too spicy, which is why
they're also called
cherry peppers.
231
00:08:48,128 --> 00:08:50,128
-I love-- look how creamy
that is.
-Look at that!
232
00:08:50,731 --> 00:08:52,330
Joey's not messin' around.
233
00:08:52,332 --> 00:08:54,933
-[Joey] Get it all in there.
-[laughs]
234
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:56,735
[Casey] For an extra
flavor boost,
235
00:08:56,803 --> 00:08:58,236
Joey adds hot sauce,
236
00:08:58,305 --> 00:09:01,106
onion powder, black pepper
and fresh garlic.
237
00:09:01,108 --> 00:09:03,375
And I think that's,
that's pretty much it.
238
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:05,844
Get a little taste.
Let's get that right there.
239
00:09:05,913 --> 00:09:07,045
-Whoo!
-[Casey] Whoa.
240
00:09:07,114 --> 00:09:08,813
Go in there. Get it.
Get it.
241
00:09:11,151 --> 00:09:12,717
It's so creamy.
242
00:09:12,719 --> 00:09:15,220
And tangy.
Got a little bit of a bite.
243
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:17,956
A little bit of a bite,
you taste in that
cream cheese as well.
244
00:09:18,025 --> 00:09:20,559
-It's got that little kick.
Not too crazy.
-No.
245
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:21,927
And we didn't even
put it on the hot dog.
246
00:09:21,929 --> 00:09:23,795
-I know.
-We didn't put on
the hot dog yet.
247
00:09:23,797 --> 00:09:27,832
[Casey] Every Fat One
gets a traditional
New York City water bath.
248
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:29,634
-So we like to boil it
in water first...
-Yeah.
249
00:09:29,736 --> 00:09:31,403
just so we can start cooking.
And then we put it out
on the grill,
250
00:09:31,405 --> 00:09:33,204
on the flat-top here.
251
00:09:33,206 --> 00:09:36,374
'Cause we want that little,
you know, that little,
that char and that snap.
252
00:09:36,376 --> 00:09:38,109
And as we're doing that,
if you wanna grab that bacon,
253
00:09:38,111 --> 00:09:39,477
-we'll throw that
in the pan right now.
-Bacon.
254
00:09:39,479 --> 00:09:41,346
-I'm a pretty good help, Joey.
-Casey, thank you.
255
00:09:41,415 --> 00:09:42,580
-[Joey] I appreciate
that, brother.
-You're welcome.
256
00:09:42,616 --> 00:09:44,616
[Casey] With the massive
dog grilled up...
257
00:09:44,618 --> 00:09:45,617
It's bigger than my face.
258
00:09:45,619 --> 00:09:47,118
It's bigger than his face.
259
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,054
[Casey] ...we can build
the Bensonhurst.
260
00:09:49,122 --> 00:09:51,122
Our creamy pimento cheese,
261
00:09:51,124 --> 00:09:52,591
-half-pound dog...
- [Joey] Like that.
262
00:09:52,593 --> 00:09:54,526
...crispy bacon
263
00:09:54,528 --> 00:09:56,861
and fresh white onion.
264
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,230
We give you
the Bensonhurst!
265
00:10:03,337 --> 00:10:05,704
-[Casey] God.
-[Joey] Good Lord.
266
00:10:05,706 --> 00:10:08,039
The dog itself,
it's massive.
267
00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:11,610
But the flavor is just,
it's got the bite to it
that we like.
268
00:10:11,612 --> 00:10:13,745
-The snap. And it's
all-beef hot dog.
-Mm.
269
00:10:13,814 --> 00:10:17,415
So you're getting that,
that rich beef hot dog flavor.
270
00:10:17,417 --> 00:10:19,250
The pimento cheese
is creamy.
271
00:10:19,319 --> 00:10:20,552
It's a little bit spicy.
272
00:10:20,621 --> 00:10:22,153
It just adds a whole
other layer.
273
00:10:22,222 --> 00:10:23,955
And then we have
the bacon on top of that.
274
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:26,725
It's crispy, it's crunchy,
it's a little bit more fatty
275
00:10:26,727 --> 00:10:29,294
And then we have the onion,
which almost like refreshes
the whole thing.
276
00:10:29,296 --> 00:10:30,962
-Mm-hmm. Little brightness
to you.
-Right?
277
00:10:31,031 --> 00:10:32,530
Total--
Brightens up everything.
278
00:10:32,532 --> 00:10:34,399
-We've taken the all classic
American stuff...
-Right.
279
00:10:34,401 --> 00:10:35,866
and ingredients
that you use
280
00:10:35,868 --> 00:10:37,736
or put on top of a hot dog,
but combine them
in different ways.
281
00:10:37,837 --> 00:10:40,438
-You just did it your way.
You did it the Fat One way.
-Yeah.
282
00:10:40,507 --> 00:10:43,408
-And it just knocks it
out of the park.
-Bam.
283
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:46,511
So Casey, I know you came here
to see my hot dogs,
you ate everything.
284
00:10:46,513 --> 00:10:48,113
But you have a challenge,
do you not?
285
00:10:48,115 --> 00:10:50,348
I do. I have the Team
"Chow Down" challenge
286
00:10:50,417 --> 00:10:52,617
and I'm actually looking
for someone to take it on
with me.
287
00:10:52,619 --> 00:10:54,653
-Wait, you have
a Team challenge?
-Team... team challenge.
288
00:10:54,754 --> 00:10:56,921
So... can I help you
with this?
289
00:10:56,923 --> 00:10:58,456
I didn't... Yeah, you can!
290
00:10:58,458 --> 00:11:00,425
I already assumed that
you'd wanna be
in the challenge.
291
00:11:00,427 --> 00:11:02,360
-Do you wanna be
in the challenge?
-[Joey] Oh, you can assume.
292
00:11:02,396 --> 00:11:04,729
-Count me in.
-It'd be a freakin' honor.
293
00:11:04,731 --> 00:11:05,664
-No, no. I'm in.
-You're in?
294
00:11:05,732 --> 00:11:06,798
-Yeah.
-Yes!
295
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,932
Challenge accepted!
296
00:11:07,934 --> 00:11:10,602
"Chow Down" challenge,
you're going down town!
297
00:11:10,604 --> 00:11:12,003
I hope so.
298
00:11:12,005 --> 00:11:13,938
-What's the challenge?
-Oh!
299
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:15,006
[Casey laughs]
300
00:11:16,543 --> 00:11:18,943
-[crowd cheering]
-[bell dinging]
301
00:11:19,579 --> 00:11:22,347
[trombone music playing]
302
00:11:22,416 --> 00:11:24,616
Hey, so,
I had a quick question.
303
00:11:24,618 --> 00:11:27,052
You ever take on
a large amount of food?
304
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,553
Let's say like,
eight pounds.
305
00:11:29,923 --> 00:11:31,222
What would be
your strategy?
306
00:11:31,224 --> 00:11:33,124
-[squeaky voice]
Bring a hungry friend.
-[Casey] Yeah?
307
00:11:35,262 --> 00:11:36,161
Pretty good advice.
308
00:11:37,764 --> 00:11:39,764
I'm in Orlando,
at Cheers Sports Bar
309
00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:41,933
for the Team "Chow Down"
challenge.
310
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:45,537
If Joey and I can take down
this 8.5 pound feast
in 30 minutes,
311
00:11:45,638 --> 00:11:47,505
we get matching T-shirts.
312
00:11:47,507 --> 00:11:49,207
"Chow Down" challenge,
313
00:11:49,209 --> 00:11:50,742
you can't touch
this Dream Team.
314
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:54,145
[upbeat instrumental
rock music playing]
315
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:56,414
[Casey] In a city
full of tourists,
316
00:11:56,416 --> 00:11:59,050
Cheers is a locals' haven.
317
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:01,920
It's one of the little
best kept secrets
in Orlando.
318
00:12:01,922 --> 00:12:04,989
It's everything that somebody
wants to find that local place
319
00:12:04,991 --> 00:12:07,358
where there's friendly peopl
awesome food,
320
00:12:07,427 --> 00:12:09,561
reasonable prices
and it's everything
321
00:12:09,662 --> 00:12:10,729
a guy like me
could ask for.
322
00:12:10,731 --> 00:12:13,698
I'm just gonna walk away.
You guys just crushed it.
323
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:17,802
[Casey] From flame broiled
burgers to quesadillas
and Philly cheesesteaks,
324
00:12:17,804 --> 00:12:21,106
Cheers dishes out
some of the best
pub grub in town.
325
00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:27,112
But nothing compares
to the Team "Chow Down"
challenge.
326
00:12:27,114 --> 00:12:30,115
An absurd array
of bar food favorites
327
00:12:30,117 --> 00:12:33,418
featuring onion rings,
tater tots, loaded fries,
328
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:36,121
mac and cheese bites,
double cheeseburger,
329
00:12:36,123 --> 00:12:39,624
super spicy wings,
French fries, loaded nachos
330
00:12:39,626 --> 00:12:41,059
mini corn dogs,
331
00:12:41,127 --> 00:12:44,662
another double cheese burge
and pretzel bites.
332
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:48,199
It tips the scales
at 8.5 pounds.
333
00:12:49,035 --> 00:12:51,302
Today, it's Men versus Food
334
00:12:51,304 --> 00:12:53,705
And hometown hero
Joey Fatone
335
00:12:53,707 --> 00:12:55,406
is joining my team.
336
00:12:55,408 --> 00:12:59,244
But first, we need some intel
from a former challenger.
337
00:12:59,312 --> 00:13:01,379
Me and my buddy Pat
took it on. He's a bigger guy.
338
00:13:01,381 --> 00:13:02,714
-It went terribly.
-[Casey] Oh.
339
00:13:02,716 --> 00:13:04,716
So what would you say
to eat exactly first?
340
00:13:04,718 --> 00:13:05,850
We split the burgers.
341
00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:06,851
Leave those wings...
342
00:13:07,554 --> 00:13:09,120
way... way down the line.
343
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:10,354
Wings last?
344
00:13:10,356 --> 00:13:12,624
Wings either last
or second to last.
Maybe celery last
345
00:13:12,626 --> 00:13:14,726
to sort of calm yourself
down there.
346
00:13:14,728 --> 00:13:16,961
-Top spot.
-...mentally, I see it.
347
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:18,363
I'm already
at the finish line.
348
00:13:18,398 --> 00:13:20,298
I don't know why,
but I'm already there.
349
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:22,300
[Casey] Riding high
on Joey's confidence...
350
00:13:22,302 --> 00:13:24,002
All right, let's split up.
Meet back here?
351
00:13:24,004 --> 00:13:25,603
-Yep.
-All right, go.
352
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:28,239
[Casey] ...I enter the kitch
while he gears up
for the challenge.
353
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:31,509
[inspirational music playing]
354
00:13:34,915 --> 00:13:36,247
Hey, Joel!
355
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:37,849
-What's up, man? Good.
-How you doing, man?
356
00:13:37,918 --> 00:13:39,818
How many people
have taken this thing on?
357
00:13:39,820 --> 00:13:42,220
Many have tried,
not many have finished.
358
00:13:42,222 --> 00:13:43,421
Have you ever taken it on?
359
00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:45,423
No. Not at all.
I'm not crazy.
360
00:13:45,425 --> 00:13:47,192
[laughs] All right.
So, where do we start, man?
361
00:13:47,194 --> 00:13:48,626
-We're gonna make...
-Burgers.
362
00:13:48,628 --> 00:13:50,528
[Casey] For the two
double cheese burgers,
363
00:13:50,530 --> 00:13:53,798
Joel throws down
four four-ounce beef patties
364
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,433
mushrooms, two eggs
365
00:13:55,502 --> 00:13:58,436
and melts on Pepper Jack
and Swiss cheese.
366
00:13:58,538 --> 00:14:00,405
And we stack 'em.
367
00:14:00,407 --> 00:14:02,407
Oh, that's
a good looking burger, man.
368
00:14:02,409 --> 00:14:03,942
I could just eat that.
369
00:14:04,043 --> 00:14:05,543
Now we go to the fryer
and start the wings.
370
00:14:05,645 --> 00:14:07,245
Oh, right, there's more.
371
00:14:07,313 --> 00:14:09,614
-Those go down for about
15 minutes.
-Okay.
372
00:14:09,616 --> 00:14:11,049
-'Cause they're some
big wings, so...
-Yeah, sure.
373
00:14:11,117 --> 00:14:12,417
We're gonna get
a nice crunch on 'em.
374
00:14:12,419 --> 00:14:13,618
[Casey] While the wings cook
375
00:14:13,620 --> 00:14:15,420
we add fries, tater tots
376
00:14:15,422 --> 00:14:17,222
and onion rings
to the fryer.
377
00:14:17,224 --> 00:14:22,060
These are gonna be GBD.
That's Golden Brown
& Delicious.
378
00:14:22,161 --> 00:14:23,661
Next, we fry pretzel bites,
379
00:14:23,730 --> 00:14:26,130
many corn dogs
and mac and cheese bites,
380
00:14:26,132 --> 00:14:27,632
and start to plate.
381
00:14:27,701 --> 00:14:29,934
-[Joel] We have our fries.
-Okay.
382
00:14:29,936 --> 00:14:32,604
-Now we need to make
those wings spicy.
-Okay.
383
00:14:32,606 --> 00:14:34,205
[Casey] Why's it in
a weird little jar?
384
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:35,440
[Joel] 'Cause
it melts plastic.
385
00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:37,342
What's in there?
Okay, I don't wanna know.
386
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:38,443
I don't wanna know.
387
00:14:38,511 --> 00:14:40,378
Item by delicious item,
388
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:43,414
Joel loads all 8.5 pounds
onto the tray.
389
00:14:43,416 --> 00:14:45,149
I mean,
it's a good looking platter.
390
00:14:45,251 --> 00:14:46,417
[groaning] Oh, my...
391
00:14:48,321 --> 00:14:51,055
You really didn't leave
anything off of it, did you?
392
00:14:51,157 --> 00:14:53,524
-Do you serve
anything else here?
-No.
393
00:14:55,128 --> 00:14:56,794

[Steve] Okay, guys.
402
00:15:18,118 --> 00:15:20,818
You're gonna have
30 minutes
403
00:15:20,820 --> 00:15:22,720
for both of you
to complete this.
404
00:15:22,722 --> 00:15:24,222
Should you complete it,
405
00:15:24,224 --> 00:15:27,659
we're gonna offer up some nice
fine little T-shirts for you.
406
00:15:27,727 --> 00:15:30,128
-Five! Four!
-[Casey] You ready, man?
407
00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:32,397
-[Steve and crowd] Three!
Two! One!
-Good luck.
408
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,332
-Good luck!
-[crowd cheering]
409
00:15:34,334 --> 00:15:38,636
[Casey] Our team strategy
is to knock out the densest
part of the challenge first
410
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:41,406
[muffled] That is amazing.
411
00:15:41,408 --> 00:15:42,941
The burger's really good
with the egg.
412
00:15:42,943 --> 00:15:44,309
So good!
413
00:15:44,311 --> 00:15:47,845
Don't back down on those
burgers, boys! Let's do it!
414
00:15:47,914 --> 00:15:53,051
[Casey] Joey sets the Fa-ton
and finishes his burger
in two minutes flat.
415
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:54,919
And I'm right behind him.
416
00:15:54,921 --> 00:15:56,821
Team work makes
the dream work, guys!
417
00:15:56,823 --> 00:15:59,257
-[crowd cheering]
-[Casey] We go
for the wings next.
418
00:15:59,359 --> 00:16:01,092
It's risky at this stage,
419
00:16:01,094 --> 00:16:05,563
given how hot they are,
but we need to make
a dent in the 20-wing pile.
420
00:16:06,633 --> 00:16:08,099
Whoo!
421
00:16:08,101 --> 00:16:11,936
The challenge is messy,
it's huge. I think it takes
big appetite,
422
00:16:12,038 --> 00:16:13,304
bigger stomach to win.
423
00:16:13,306 --> 00:16:15,606
Clock is ticking,
so they gotta just
keep up with the pace.
424
00:16:15,608 --> 00:16:18,943
[Casey] Using team work,
we start to divide
and conquer.
425
00:16:18,945 --> 00:16:20,611
I'll get the tater tots.
426
00:16:20,613 --> 00:16:21,946
I got some onion rings.
427
00:16:21,948 --> 00:16:25,316
Five minutes in,
we are perfectly in sync.
428
00:16:25,318 --> 00:16:27,418
And as we move
around the plate,
429
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:29,253
this is actually pretty fun
430
00:16:29,355 --> 00:16:32,256
[chanting] Casey! Joey!
Casey! Joey!
431
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:35,159
It's a lot of food.
I can't believe how much food
they've eaten.
432
00:16:35,261 --> 00:16:37,328
I've seen Joey
eat a lot more than that.
433
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,998
He's doing okay right now.
He needs to be speeding up
a little bit more.
434
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,033
They got 20 minutes left.
435
00:16:42,102 --> 00:16:44,435
Come on, Joey.
Keep it going, man.
Come on, you got more time.
436
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:45,503
I got this, Ed!
437
00:16:45,505 --> 00:16:47,305
Come on, Joey!
438
00:16:48,141 --> 00:16:49,941
[Casey] We're tearing up
the nachos
439
00:16:49,943 --> 00:16:52,944
and nearly half the platter
is put away.
440
00:16:53,013 --> 00:16:55,079
[crowd chanting]
Go Casey! Joey!
441
00:16:55,081 --> 00:16:57,849
Tell that platter,
"Bye! Bye! Bye!"
442
00:16:57,950 --> 00:17:01,719
[Casey] We're feeling
pretty confident as we near
the 15-minute mark.
443
00:17:01,721 --> 00:17:05,223
But we still got
18 hellish hot wings
444
00:17:05,225 --> 00:17:07,058
waiting for us
on the other side.
445

Florida, taking on
the 8.5 pound

450
00:17:22,642 --> 00:17:26,044
with my pal and local legen
Joey Fatone.
451
00:17:26,046 --> 00:17:28,813
Get into
the Fatone zone, Joey!
452
00:17:28,815 --> 00:17:30,581
I'm in it!
453
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:33,985
[Casey] We tore through
the first half of this
pub grub challenge.
454
00:17:33,987 --> 00:17:39,057
But, 15 minutes in,
carbs are starting
to catch up with us.

[chanting] Smash those chips!
Smash those chips!
456
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:43,928

is keep moving.

Let's get moving.

It seems like they're
attacking the biggest plate
of food I've ever seen.
461
00:17:53,807 --> 00:17:56,941
They keep going.
They're handling it so well.
462
00:17:56,943 --> 00:18:00,545

Casey, let's do this!

we've been avoiding
the super spicy wings.
466
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:10,621
But, we've gotta get back
to them eventually.
467
00:18:10,623 --> 00:18:13,124

Back to the fried food.

-That'll kill you.

They should have saved
the chicken wings
for the end.

I know that they're trying
to make room for other food
that's still left to go.
