Adam’s first stop in Springfield is to Cozy Dog Drive-In, which is a historical diner on iconic Route 66. This place is literally the “home of the corn dog” as rumor has it they invented this tasty batter-covered hot dog. Adam gets to see the homemade invention the restaurant still uses to fry ‘em up. The diner serves up over 500 cozy dogs every day!

Next up Adam visits D’Arcy’s Pint for a Springfield specialty: the horseshoe. What the heck is a horseshoe? Only one of the best hangover foods around! It’s an open-faced sandwich made with Texas toast, your favorite meat (hamburger is the most popular), a mound of crinkle fries, and homemade cheese sauce. D’Arcy’s makes over 700 horseshoes a day in over 500 variations!

For the main challenge, Adam hits up Joe Rogers Chili Parlor to try the Firebrand Chili Challenge. This extra hot chili is 9x hotter than the normal chili they serve. Tens of thousands have tried to eat it, but only 2,000 have succeeded in finishing one bowl. Adam is upping the ante by trying to beat the current record of 5 bowls of this fire-hot food. Will he do it?
