Adam Takes On The Spiciest Curry In America | Man v Food 

You should increase the volume of the music a bit. I can almost hear the narrator talk.

Editor: How loud would you like the music? Producer: Yes.

Bro whoever mixed the sound on this needs a hearing test.

0:26 Whoever made the jump cut from the woman saying "comes out of the oven" to a curry being made in a pan, give that editor a fat raise

Adam:- Takes first bite and starts sweating Indian dads:- it's still bland.

Adam : Eats curry alone Naan and Rice : Are we a joke to you?

Only feels like yesterday when Man Vs Food and Storage Hunters on Dave ruled prime time TV

My auntie is famous at our local Indian restaurant for being the only person to ever ask for extra chillis when ordering a phal 🤪

A curry invented in Birmingham in a restaurant named after a street in London cooked by men from India. Hottest curry in the US. Nice.

When an Indian chef tells you that’s the hottest food he’s ever seen, you know it’s hot. 😂

Haha, remember me and my friends eating one about 2001, that was sweaty and bloody hilarious 🤣 I managed about 4-5 mouthfuls and 3 of my mates threw in the towel early, but a friend who kept mentioning his Dad was in the SAS so he was tough too cleaned the dish 🤣 he ate the lot without breaking a sweat, incredible effort. Next day when all had hair of the dog, he said he was fine, but his bum wasn’t 😵🤣

Person who knows next to nothing about Indian food: "Indian food is all about the spice, because it's based on a stew-like sauce called curry!" Indian person: "Sigh. Whatever."

Imagine just trynna enjoy a meal but this guy comes out and doesn’t let you

This is not the end of the challenge, the real challenge will start the next morning. Take some ice cubes with you in the toilet

As a native of Bethnal Green, East London, Brick Lane was at the end of my street. I have eaten 1000s of Rubys (curries) and have got to know the owners of a few restaurant's very well. All have said the Indian, Pakistani and Bengali people very rarely eat dishes of madras, vindaloo and Phall heat. It's more about the flavour. 1/2 tsp of Kashmiri chilli powder and a couple of green chilies usually suffices.

You can get this curry in most UK curry houses. When we did the phall challenge in Birmingham (1999), the waiter spent 5 minutes talking to us about it, then the chefs came out to make sure he wasn't taking the mickey. When it was served, the chefs came out again to watch us. In our group of 8, four finished and my insane friend licked others plates clear.....just to prove a point. The morning was not fun. Also, for the point of accuracy, vindaloo is a highly spiced curry which is also a little sweet and tangy and often somewhat dry, rather than saucy. Spiced doesn't mean spicy as such. It's a Goan dish, which is marinated in wine and because it's Goan, a place which enjoys spicy food, it is often deemed the spiciest of the traditional curries. However, it's a flavourful dish, so if you want spice heat, get a Naga.

For those interested, the original Brick Lane is a road in East London in the UK which is famous for its Indian cuisine. Man, I need a curry right now!

This is the most "used to be an Italian restaurant" Indian restaurant I've ever seen.

I live in the U.K. and Indian food is our main go too eat out food.... the hottest I have had is a vindaloo, the one below a Phal. I could never eat a Phal. My buddy from New Mexico came over who grew up on hot food and green chilliest and ate a Phal with out breaking into a sweat ..... he thought is was nice flavour and medium spice.... crazy kid.

I used to watch this when I was like 7-10 and always thought it looked so easy, you don’t realise how hard these eating challenges actually are until you get old enough to appreciate it

“It’s getting spicier” Chef: I only added salt

The person who did the audio for this video needs to be fired

I used to always order Vindaloo extra hot but now moved onto Phaal as my regular choice, to be honest it's not that bad. The heat is balanced to some extent against other flavours. The trick is to drink piping hot tea with the meal. If you do cold drinks or yoghurt you'll be there all day, because as soon as you swallow it the relief is gone, so you have to drink litres of milk or other cold stuff. Hot drinks reset the temperature pain receptors very very quickly. 2 cups of tea will neutralize a vindaloo, maybe 3 cups for a phaal.

I have ate 2 phaals in my lifetime so far and to be honest they are absolutely brutal. If you manage to finish this dish you will feel the after effects the day afterwards and its almost a spiritual journey, although it is mostly an endurance of pain

Customer in restaurant: *enjoying their meal* Adam: not on my watch

Owner: this is the most spiciest curry in America. Indian kid enters restaurant: hold my milk bottle..😂

I love how they have to dumb everything down for the americans and explain what a curry is

I love how exotic our American friends find Curry. I live in a very small rural town way out in the countryside here in England. We have a curry house. The next village along, which is smaller, has a curry house. You cant throw a stone more than 6 miles in this country and not hit a curry house. And they're all decent. "This is called a vindaloo". Yeah. We know. 😅

You know you're truly Asian when your mouth start watering after you see, hear, or think about spicy food.

The first time I've heard an American call it Coriander and not Cilantro

Isn’t “spice” in India about the spices used, e.g. cumin, mustard seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, coriander etc? Obviously they use chillies, but aren’t most dishes about flavour rather than heat?

The Hot Chilli located in Bolton has officially been awarded the UK's best place to enjoy a curry. They are officially the 'National Champion of Champions. '

Bruh he didn't even eat a single piece of naan. Of course it's spicy.

When he gets home he’s putting his toilet paper in the fridge

When he says my face is on fiya looool Caribbean here. We love you

I had a chicken Naga phaal on Saturday 9-5-21 (9th of may if you're American) with chicken tikka Rica and a keema cheese nan, 2 poppadoms each and chutney tray. I scoffed the lot, usually I manage about half but I did the whole lot and bloody tasty it was too

The enthusiasm of the entire crowd for just a beer is what I need in my life.

Nobody: The music over Adam talking: 150%

Thank you for this video 🙏

First time I had Naga Phall here in my town in Ireland - They thought i was insane and made me sign a waiver. The chef hates having to cook it for me every Saturday. And the waitress was so impressed with my prowess, she sat with me and had a pint afterwards the first time. No remedies - Only Beer for me

American : "this is the spiciest curry hooh" Asian : "hold my tongue"

America: *hottest in the world* India: this is hot?

I like how the heat was made using fresh chillis and spices and not just relying on some chilli extract where a drop of it in anything makes it spicy

I've had a few of these, quite a while ago though. I'm tempted to grab one tonight as I'm back in England on holiday.

All I can think of is Russell Peters: “Somebody gonna get huut real bad” 😂

Damn never knew New York has a knock off version of the London Brick Lane. 😂😂😂(brick lane is a street in London full of Bengali and Indian restaurants for the last 60 years)

Phall is basically a thick, tomato based curry made with Habanero or Scotch Bonnet peppers (10 to 12 of them). It originated in Indian Restaurants in the UK so it's not the most “authentic” dish and shouldn't be mixed up with Phaal from Bangalore which is char-grilled without sauce and eaten as finger-food.

I wish I could cook my curries like these guys do..wow!

I was in the restaurant having a breakup conversation with my then wife. Then this dude starts dancing around getting everyone to yell. I'm going postal

This is an English dish originated In Birmingham.

I've got heartburn just watching 🥺

I'm salivating just by watching this

A certificate of completion. Ladies and gentlemen india in a nutshell.

In fairness, in the UK, most Indian restaurants do phal. Also, from what I am aware, the curries from Indian communities in South Africa and within that region have even hotter curries.

The day after must have been pretty spectacular and much more of a challenge.

Back in England we used to enjoy extremely hot and tasty vindaloo. Here in Canada however we've yet to experience even a half decent vindaloo.

As an Indian who loves flaming hot extra spicy stuff I wanna try this so much now

Who eats curry without either roti or rice? Even mild curries They're too rich to eat on their own man, come on

Adam the food warrior...yeyyyy !

You should try Caribbean currys from trinidad and tobago. Very similar and often eaten with roti but the heat comes from scotch bonnet peppers more than the mild curry powder which has extra cayenne pepper usually.

Indian is the only one I can get thats actually spicy. Every yime I tell a takeout place" As hot as you can make it, then make it way hotter...WEAK" I want to try this.

Brick lane actually a place in London were we have loads of curry houses its situated in shorditch

Let’s Friggin Go Adam 👏

Now Adam will have fun next day in the morning the chilli will show its real color 😀😀😉😉

I love how 60% of people in the poll said they could take this curry. Yeah, sure 😂

chef who's been eating spicy food all his life: You absolutely need to wear a mask to protect you from the smoke Adam: *Takes off mask while cooking to narrate*

My favourite show...

"Let's go for a nice quiet relaxed indian meal tonight to celebrate" Adam : Evening

His toilet must have been begging for mercy

Bring back Adam man vs food please!!!

I used to have a Phaal every friday. It's a hard thing to eat. It's very hot, then it gets hotter, but then after a while you get numb to it.

regular meal in asia...where this guy's expression is entertaining...good effort mate !!👍

Would have been exponentially easier if he ate the curry with naan...

Lol he’s eating it directly from the bowl my Asian mom would flipp

Your video's alway's make me hungry🙂

Having lived in the USA and UK I'm kinda sceptical about the strength of currys in the USA compared to the UK. My experience is that UK currys are way way way way hotter

Can we all have a moment of silence for the toilet this man visited in the morning. Rest well 🚽 you won’t be forgotten.

Brick Lane is a place in London famous for its curry houses, I used to live about 5 minutes away from it

His hotel sheets must’ve look pretty bad for the cleaner the next morning 😂🇬🇧

Someone PLZZ call the firefighters 😂😂

"My job to today is to take down a bowl of this fiery fare" Adams toilet : not again.....

When you realize, that this dish can't be found anywhere in India. "P'haal"

Good to see Fred Savage is still getting gigs after the Wonder Years.

Looks delicious and inedible

One time we went to an Indian restaurant called Chennai Cafe and my dad tried Chicken Vindaloo and it burned the heck out of his mouth! I think he requested hot but the waiter actually suggested he actually get the medium. He sure dodged a bad day!

And he did not even touch the bread or the milkshakes, very impressive! 👏

Brick Lane is a long road in London with hundreds of Curry houses on it . Its the go-to road in London for top curry

Why is he talking about how hot and spicy curries are, This is such a generalisation of asian food. We are all about flavours, not just spices.

3:37 I legitimately thought he's about to do a Genkidama 😂😂

Man V. Food ain't the same without Adam...

My mouth is watering right now

Mmm, this makes me want my old favourite. Meat (mutton) Madras with rice, peshwari naan and poppadoms for dipping in the curry. Perfect. I like them quite spicy, but I wouldn't attempt this under any circumstances.

Through 2019 I lived in India for 3 months, I do not handle spicy food that well, but now when my friends say it's spicy, I don't feel a thing from our own foods, just a bit of spice...

"I salute you, I salute you, and I eat you." -Adam 2019

Adam after one bite:"My mouth is burning". Le Indian dad's after the whole meal:"There was no spice at all".

I swear if I ever see this guy walk into a restaurant i’m eating at I’m climbing out the bathroom window...

Phall curry: how spicy are u gonna make me today chef Chef: Yes

"The Ring of Fire" Baby Wipes Are Essential 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Well Done!

I've never tried a phaal but I've been absolutely leveled by particularly spicy vindaloos. This stuff is terrifying.
