Today we're back stateside at Doogie's in Newington, Connecticut having a crack at their infamous hot dog challenge...
Diners get twenty minutes in which to finish two 2ft hot dogs with four toppings, a portion of fries and a drink. If successful, you don't get the $40 meal free, but you do get a t-shirt, a spot on their wall of fame, a $20 gift card and a frequent diner's discount card.

Hope the food's good on this plane. I'm starving now.
You're starving. Do you want to ask?
I could never. I could never.
I was like, we've yet to see what you're going to eat.
I don't know how those big YouTube folks get to use their proper cameras in airports.
Always tell me to put mine away, so we're on iPhone.
Hiya. 5A?
Lovely. First life clean.
Thank you.
By the time once we get going today, we'll be 6 hours and 40 minutes in Iceland.
And we're crossing over the ocean this afternoon.
Caramelised roast cobbler flower.
I'll give that a miss.
Successful takeoff. Just need to get the food on now.
I'm famished.
Not sure vodka chilli prawns are going to hit the spot.
Thank you very much.
Can't wait to get stuck into this.
I'm going to enjoy this now. See you when we land.
Right. Time for the last North American adventure of the year.
That actually went pretty smooth.
Largely thanks to the thrifty guy that watched my videos.
The beard is here.
Right. Enough dilly-dallying. On to episode number one.
And yes, I did bring a cap.
I'm not going to subject you to this five head of mine much longer, I promise.
I'm 37 now. Give me a break.
All right. Bring on the free t-shirts.
Let's get inside.
I was just wondering if I could do your hot dog challenge thing.
Absolutely. Is that okay? Yeah.
This is what we're doing today. Doogies challenge.
Doogies? Duggies? Probably doogies, right?
Two pretty giant looking hot dogs.
Think you get some chips too.
Most importantly, you get a shirt.
Yeah, you know me. Love a good winner's t-shirt.
How many toppings? Four toppings. Four hot toppings.
Cheese, bacon, onions.
Cooked onions, they're caramelized, so they're sweet.
Yeah, that's perfect. I love sweet.
Can I choose a second cheese or no? Yes, you can.
I'll go with the Swiss. Sounds good.
As long as the business has been going for about 23 years.
23 years it's been going. Wow.
Adam, your challenge awaits. You get 20 minutes to eat this?
You got 20 minutes to eat this.
You're welcome to cut this up and prepare however you would like.
I will get the timer ready in the meantime, get your drink ready,
go to the bathroom, wash your hands.
When you are ready to begin, let me know
and I will start the timer as soon as you take your first bite.
All right, I will. Thank you.
It's kind of annoying bringing my own challenge to the table.
Don't normally do that.
Got to make sure it's full. No cheating now.
Doesn't include head.
Beer head, foam.
As long as you finish your fries and all of the hot dogs and the toppings
and the drinks in 20 minutes, you're good.
All right. Okay. Is it doogies or doogies?
It is doogies and it's in, don't tell me, don't tell me, Newington, Connecticut.
I got it right first time and I'm taking on the doogies challenge,
doogies challenge, which is two, two foot long hot dogs with four,
was it four toppings?
Four premium toppings and a side of crust.
Would you reckon you think I can do it?
You can do it. Yeah.
Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.
Three, two, one, begin.
It's really hot today. I've got dry mouth, you know.
Oh.
You got this. Come on, come on. Let's go.
It feels like an episode of that show.
Yeah, no such luck. Just me again, folks.
Welcome back to another episode, the first in yet another journey of conquest
throughout the United States of very excited people.
We're kicking off today at Doogies in Connecticut,
which was apparently featured on that show, Man V Food, like 15 years ago or something.
And we're having a pop at this four foot hot dog challenge.
Also comes with fries and a drink,
which you do incidentally have to finish.
Good luck, man. Oh, thank you.
You did tell me. You did tell me it'd be the bread.
He did. He also told me to avoid the jalapenos when picking the toppings.
So I think he's got my health and well-being in mind, which is always nice.
You have to pick four toppings from the menu.
I went with two types of cheese, American and Swiss, caramelized onions and bacon.
And I grabbed a root beer as my mandatory beverage.
Yeah, the lady filming on the phone there is clearly today's cheer master.
She did a great job as well.
I'm sure I like I picked some up. I'm sure I did.
Gotta clean the beard if I've got an audience. Thank you.
Gotta clean the beard if I've got an audience here.
Yeah, I don't know why I said that twice. I think I might be stuck on repeat.
Need somebody to turn me off and back on again.
One down. The onions was a perfect choice.
I think I think that was my idea, right? Or was that your idea?
That was my idea. I could take credit for that. No way.
Yeah, you know me. It's not often that I get the tactics right,
but I nailed the toppings here. The caramelized onions were a fine accompaniment.
I love sweet and salty, so it worked a treat.
Just past 14 minutes. Yeah, I think the mild look of panic in my eyes there
was because I thought momentarily that 14 minutes had elapsed.
What she was actually saying is there are 14 minutes remaining.
He's got this though. He's got this. He's still got the fries though.
You sound like you don't believe I'm going to do it.
I believe you're going to do it.
Surprise.
This is really delicious, by the way.
Yeah, not off. I've never really been a huge fan of hot dogs, truth be told,
but I really enjoyed this one. Or two, to be more accurate.
Got to clean up a little bit. If you're filming me,
I've got to be nice and clean. You say that the fries are going to get me?
Don't slow down.
Yeah, plenty of time remaining. Just the fries to go now.
I got some ranch dip to aid their passage down the old food pipe.
Hope you enjoyed it. And as always, I'll catch you in the next one.
I don't know if I can do it. I don't know.
Thank you. Thank you very much. That was delicious.
That was really, really nice. Thank you.
Do you have small or is that like wishful thinking? Medium is good.
I'll be medium at the end of the trip. I like the t-shirt.
Nice. I don't know if I could use this. I think I might frame it.
Look at that. It looks like a high school diploma or something.
Thank you very much. I don't even get cards and envelopes from Mrs.
Babe for my birthday. Anyway, thank you very much for having me.
I really appreciate it. You are so welcome. I can't wait to see the video.
And go check your channel out. Thank you very much.
It's nice to meet you too as well. Thanks. Have a nice day.
You're not going to leave that food are you? Is he really going to leave it?
You want it? Yeah, if you're going to leave it.
It might be a little chilly, but you can take it. I'll take it with me for the road.
I can't see good food go to waste. See you later folks.
Mmm, yummy.
This probably looks really weird to you. You ate all that?
Yeah, yeah. Believe it or not, it's right here.
How you feel? I feel pretty good actually. I feel all right.
Okay, good.
