we’re done but no we wanted to do something special uh this episode and you know just kind of go over our 100 foods to eat before we die to celebrate our 100th episode spectacular i think this is a great concept if i do say so myself as the podcast hosts who wants to start um well the way that our list is formatted is you did your 51st so i think it’s only fair for you to start with your 50. no we gotta we gotta alternate we gotta alternate okay we gotta alternate okay there’s a hundred foods that we gotta get there through there’s a hundred foods that we gotta get to in about 30 minutes so let’s go number one banh cuon vietnamese steamed rice rolls number one food all-time favorite spot bon koon lulian in fountain valley never had it before oh you got it nicole if you’re gonna die soon my god eat some bun can you tell me what the texture’s like uh yeah it’s like um a giant rice noodle so it’s almost like an extra soft ravioli it’s all the ground pork and fried shallots you dip it in the fish sauce oh yeah oh best thing in the world wow that sounds delicious uh my first one is a baked dynamite roll which is literally well the one that i have is a california roll with like scallops and then you put spicy mayonnaise yeah and then you broil it hot broiled mayonnaise is always a killer absolutely all right number two san diego style carne asada burrito it is a large lard-filled tortilla that you can see through with guac pico cheese greasy griddle cooked carne asada french fries no no french fries that’s calibrated this is a san diego style cutting it’s not a burrito and that’s my number one that sounds like the perfect burrito uh number number two taddy uh crunchy rice on the bottom of of a cooked rice pop dude i accidentally made teddy the other day accidentally tell you about this well not accidentally i was kind of like reheating leftover rice and then i was like screw it let’s just keep this party train going and then i got like a perfect teddy crest on it because i pants beautiful oh wait wait what’s your what’s your quest going on top of the table um well that’s my next one okay okay i’ll go i’ll go uh just a plain ass french omelet no cheese yeah eggs salt chives one of the true pleasures in life that the center that’s oozing out that texture is like unmatched so good love it and uh number three is gourmet sabzi which goes on top of the tadi which is actually the national dish of iran it is a green stew with kidney beans and meat and it is one of the most delicious flavors ever it’s like every herb you ever thought of just thrown in there cooked down stewed down gorgeous stunning love it you have to try my mom’s though i don’t know if i i’ve had her mom’s i’ve had her mom she made it for me once oh we made it on the show it is a giant hold on it is a giant belgian baguette stuffed sandwich with french fries sauce on the loose which is like a kind of tomato pasty mayo and then like fried dutch sausage inside this belgian it means submachine gun in french it is one of the best junk foods i’ve ever had in my life uh my next one is bagels with cream cheese and lox now everybody needs to try a good bagel with cream cheese unlocks before they die i think it’s a flavor combination that you must try but the most important thing is assembling it the way you want it you know there’s no right way there’s no wrong way you just got to have those three things and whatever else you want to add on it go for it but if you could recommend one topping combo to people before they die nicole they are on their deathbed throws the grim reaper onion is knocking peppers red onion salted pepper no tomato no i don’t really [ ] with tomato i like it i like a nice well salted tomato okay all right tacos chicharron and salsa roja my favorite tacos they chicharron one burritos la palma makes probably my favorite but that’s a burrito but you go down to san juan capistrano in in orange county and you go to el campayon and it is just soft it is fried crispy pork skin and then stew down until it’s soft and gelatinous put it in just a warm corn tortilla salsa uh onion cilantro unbelievable soggy pork skin’s great i haven’t had a chicharron taco in a really long time but you got me feeding for one right now next up is a drink matcha lattes flavor combination it’s earthy it’s dusky it’s delicious it’s sweet it’s green green foods beautiful and then you get that little foam on the top i think a matcha latte is like the quintessential drink that every person needs to try at least once before they die i made myself a matcha latte while i was watching lord of the rings how did you feel actually it was essential latte it was like green but it was a green tea last day and it was just nice i had sunchat nice okay uh bacon avocado burger this is a very i i picked a lot of foods that you can get in southern california but you can find them where you are because for me like that’s home i love the sense of place that you get in a lot of these i’m thinking of howard’s bacon and avocado burgers it is just a char girl the water the the burgers are perfectly fine they’re not great but it’s like holds a special place in my heart that’s a very california combination bacon avocado yeah great uh next up is cuban braised lemon garlic mojo chicken with the onions with about five exclamation points that is extra specific do you know what i’m talking about oh yeah the cuban i don’t know what that they what are they called pio i don’t know i don’t know the name of it i don’t i don’t know i just go to versailles which is a cuban restaurant and i say give me the chicken the one and they say okay they they marinate it in a sour orange right yeah what is it called naranja agria is it uh agri i don’t know it’s delicious and garlicky and fresh onions and it’s just gorgeous i want that’s so bad oh i’m feeling all swampy pants right now uh raw easter’s with mignonette raw oysters with mignonette oh that’s a choice one of my favorite food memories of all time is just sitting on uh the tomales bay up in northern california a place called the marshall store and you can see the dudes with the little like waiters walking in just buckets of oysters from the sea and they just crack them open fresh in front of you a little bit of minionette the shallots and vinegar on there a beer in the sunshine utterly beautiful experience eat raw oysters if you’ve never eaten raw oysters i love raw oysters next one it’s a dollar slice every human needs to have a dollar size uh i did it recently in new york and i felt accomplished as a person it truly was like i checked it off my list i’m like okay that’s done and i’m glad i did it wasn’t the best pizza in the world but by god it was a dollar slice and i spent a dollar on it and i walked in new york and i felt important doing it yeah you know what i mean i feel that i’m i’m going to pull an audible because i don’t have this listed but dollar taco write it down i think it’s dollar tacos in the list because it’s the same thing it was like when you’re in new york you get a dollar slice when you’re in l.a you go get a dollar check out it’s not gonna be the best taco you’ve ever had but it’s a dollar it’s a dollar and yeah the best taco shouldn’t cost you a dollar the best taco should certainly cost you more yes but you like eat it it’s late at night they got the trompo out there shaving off the al pastor i’m talking about leo’s and el super gaito and el chatto they’re mostly likely a dollar 25 or a dollar fifty percent now thanks joe biden that was a joke if anyone thinks it’s a real political statement i just you know thanks obama i don’t know okay you’re next oh is it was that you go okay next uh prosciutto straight out of the fridge now if you know me as a person you know that i love lunch meats you just know that i love cured meats i love a good sharkuchi board but there’s something about shoulder to the to the fridge facing the fridge and just eating prosciutto out of the fridge that i really enjoy this is the beverly hills bad [ ] version of tony soprano eating gaba ghoul in his bathroom and that’s what you are i do wear my bathrobe when i do it that’s the funny part i do wear my bathrobe you would wear a bathrobe to eat prosciutto the fridge all right i have cori karby jim so this is spicy short rib and oxtail stew korean there’s a spot in la that serves it for 24 hours and once after i was banned for life from the karaoke bar right across the street uh we went and we waited an hour in line at two in the morning uh smoking camel crushes uh it was a different time we didn’t know the science back then we didn’t know they were bad for you no we knew we just and and it’s still just a packed parking lot getting there at three in the morning eating a giant bowl of toast you know toast a little bit of butter when you’re toasting it a sprinkle of salt one of the greatest pleasures in life hot bread i will always pay seven dollars for the toasted bread with butter at a restaurant oh don’t care yeah yeah yeah bubs and grandmas are whatever yeah yeah yeah yeah all about that agua chile agua chile raw shrimp we got bangers today nicole talking about connie’s seafood especially the number one but agua chile it is raw shrimp that’s marinated in like cilantro jalapeno lime puree onions cucumbers on there just dangling the raw shrimp in your mouth and going and sucking sucking the juice out of the head one of my favorite experiences in the world one thing i’m realizing is you have dishes and i have more like uh [ ] [ ] things yeah you’re usually like little like [ ] which is good no i i almost wish that i would have gotten the wrap cause like i was thinking the other day i was like a nice ripe banana that’s one of my favorite things in the world my next one is half an avocado tahini eaten with your favorite spoon which is very real but like that’s that’s one of the finest pleasures it’s just a beautiful avocado and you open it and you see how green it is and then you just sprinkle the tahini on it if you want a squeeze of lime i don’t always need that and then you just pick out your favorite spoon because everyone has a favorite spoon right i got an avocado spoon yeah and you just and you just sit on the couch you put your feet up and you just scoop it and you enjoy your life i put a dab of white wine vinegar on my finger and i rub that on the avocado flesh the tahini sticks better that’s really smart i like that uh uttapam you’re right i went with just my favorite international dishes that i can’t make myself that’s great though yeah so uttapam is a fermented rice pancake flatbread uh from like south india like we’re talking like kerala chennai area um and it’s one of my favorite things i’ve ever had uh spot myera in uh west l.a i love my own yeah my favorite i use that to soak up the fish curry oh i cannot beat it and i don’t know a lot of these things are literally things that like i couldn’t make myself a perfect french omelette couldn’t make myself like tacos de chicharron i could make myself but that would take hours and hours and hours and i wouldn’t these are generally experiences i’ve had coming from elsewhere that’s beautiful though that’s what i’m going to do before i die that’s good free me from the binds of cooking mine is next for me is a medium rare rib eye cooked with salt and pepper based with butter garlic and thyme i just love meat i’m a steak person always have been always will be and there’s something just so carnal about just like cutting into steak and just seeing the red i love it it’s not an experience that i love oh i could go the rest of my life without eating uh like a classic you know no butter basted rib eye really i’d rather have like pecan which i’m sure that’s coming up into this oh hold on is that literally next do you have pecan no i i didn’t put because i knew you’d have a lot of brazilian barbecue okay keep going okay okay uh uh a croquema dam like a perfect pokemon dam which i didn’t have until i went to france the one time that i’d been there uh at a shop in nice and like everyone thinks of crooked madam is just like a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with an egg on top but no dude it’s the layer of fudgy bechamel that they broil on there and it’s just like this flavor paste absolutely incredible experience um next up for me massimo curry just a beautiful melange of peanut spice it’s like it’s like soft but it’s also intense and it’s just a go it’s just the most gorgeous flavor in your mouth and actually it’s from i found out recently when i was doing some research that it’s from muslim uh iranian muslims that traveled through thailand and through like the silk road and stuff like that and they’re like hey what’s up so it’s kind of persian you’re totally just the dad from my big fat great wedding it’s like winter kimono is from the muslim merchants from iran google it i’m not lying all right i got carne asada fries i had the cronies out of burrito fries there’s meat okay those are different they are i mean that was a huge part of my childhood growing up we’d scrape together like you know five dollars and go down to some place called albertos or albatros or there’s just a spot called toes robertos rigobertos dagobertos okay okay uh go to a place like that and just five dollar carne soda fries is just covered in salsa oh pure pleasure yeah next up is matzo ball soup slash gondi so gundi is the persian version of matzo ball soup it’s made with chickpeas and turkey but there’s it’s like a comforting bowl of chicken soup with a ball it’s just good man it’s just so it’s literally chicken soup for the soul it’s like real chicken soup is good the softness and like the explosiveness of a matzo ball in your mouth yeah and then it’s like it’s like it’s like salted well you know and it’s like a deep dark chickeny flavor yeah it’s gorgeous it’s a roasted chicken stocking super special uh-huh um i have just a good shrimp cocktail that’s something i didn’t appreciate until later in life food on it if i’m about to die all right and i’m not worried about when it says market price on the menu nicole i’m getting this i run away from mp but okay we’re gonna die i guess i’m not leaving anything to my kids i’m spending all that money on shrimp cocktails you suck i’m not even looking at the prices on menus like 54 look i got eight years left after 54 just crunching the numbers from my family history of health i’m getting the shrimp cocktail uh next up for me uh lengua tacos with onion cilantro lime and salsa i love tong i’ve always been a beef tongue person but the way that it’s done at the taqueros man i don’t know they’re like the way that it’s just cubed up and it’s so luscious yeah and it’s just it just costs tender it works so well with the lime and the sharp onion and the cilantro and the salsa it’s just an incredible experience the way lime cuts through that like gaminess of the language is so freaking good girl i got sea seed okay explain to the people it’s easy so cc is a filipino dish where you take uh effectively like all the meat from a pig’s head okay and some pork belly and you like chop it up and then you sizzle it and cook it in its own fat so it’s super crispy with aromatics and then you squeeze fresh calamansi which is like a lime tangerine kind of hybrid yeah one of the most beautiful fruits uh and to me it’s my top filipino dish out there again great drinking food a lot of these are going to be great drinking foods yeah it sounds like it uh next up is uh kebab sultani with half rice half shirazi salad so sultani kabob it’s it’s a type of kebab it’s once one sikh which is a stick a stick yeah yeah a stick of a bag which is filet mignon that is uh i don’t even know how to explain it that’s like kind of like skewered through and then it’s another stick with uh ground meat called koopida that’s like it’s the mix plate right like that’s kind of yeah i’d call it a mixture and then it’s like rice like white rice with a little bit of saffron and then a side of salad which is necessary to cut through all that richness and then you put a pot of butter on the on the rice you put some sumac on the rice and then you put a little bit of that tomato on there too you know they have like hawaiian plate lunches like in hawaii to me this is my plate this is my plate lunch for l.a so good 100 that’s incredible i got sabich is uh great drunk food it’s especially on hot days it’s cold uh so it’ll be hard-boiled eggs fried eggplant sometimes fried potatoes tahini chromos all that stuff wrapped up vegetarian delight fried as hell so much cold oil soaked up uh next uh a good slice of cheesecake yeah yolo cheesecake’s gray if you don’t like cheesecake if you don’t like cheesecake if you’re gonna die you’re a cheesecake what are you doing yeah get a sliced cheesecake uh boombah boombah hey is my single favorite bowl of soup i’ve ever had single favorite i’ve ever had was in oklahoma city nice i cannot remember the name of the restaurant but it was an old long john silvers that had converted to a vietnamese restaurant because you can see the shape of the roof of course um it’s just spicy there’s a nice congealed blood cube in there it’s like taking where is it from uh it’s from the hue province of vietnam which is the the royal province so this is like the most luxurious of all the soups nice speaking of vietnam i have vietnamese spring rolls as my next one uh handheld salad wrapped in a beautiful like uh texture of rice paper what do you got what’s inside um well vermicelli noodles shrimp uh all the veggies in the world uh some mint some cilantro and i dip it in hoisting so you’re talking about goykun tom i wrote i wrote goycon here but i just didn’t know how to say it i got a little stuff i can’t pronounce that i said okay uh mafi mafi west african peanut sue uh my shout out to my aunt out there technically she’s like my cousin you know whatever uh it makes the best peanut sauce i’ve ever had in my life and it’s just like use peanut butter and more savory applications is so freaky so good so good all the red palm oil okay i have my churrasco and pecans right here uh this is if i were ever to be on the show that josh does that what is it

that’s like such a labor day but i’m worth it it’s so good i love brazilian barbecue fried oyster po-boy do i really do i love seafood that much yeah yeah you have a lot of food i have a lot of red meat though so i very no i guess i do prefer seafood but yeah po boy is just simple like crusty roll lettuce tomato some sort of like mayonnaise or remoulade whatever and then a nice spicy piece of fried seafood in there yeah easter is just gushy coming out damn i got pastrami on marble ride with a side of mustard oh crap wait i got pastrami reuben what get out of here although no i’d go rub i go reuben over pastrami yeah well reuben yeah is sauerkraut russian dressing swiss cheese on rye but sometimes just a pastrami on rye with mustard it’s really it’s a spot it’s important it depends on the quality of pastrami of course but it’s good quality with mustard [Music] my turn or your turn uh your turn oh my god you go you go okay a warm chocolate chip cookie oh barbecued chicken pizza most likely from california pizza’s kitchen you didn’t write the salad no i didn’t write the salad i have no i probably have a wedge salad somewhere in here yeah but yeah barbecue chicken uh expand your

arachida on a men you get it dude you do love red meat you’re like carnivores i do that carnivore diet which is red meat salt i like pasta a lot too not fair enough i don’t think i have a single pasta in here uh here’s here’s here’s a here’s a curve all uh crunchy peanut butter banana and mayonnaise sandwich that’s oh that is a good guy the saltiness and the acidity of the mayonnaise cuts through the sweetness of the bananas you get the crunchy peanuts in there oh i’m just some squishy wonder bread if you say it’s good i i’m gonna try it that’s the sailing kentucky delight right there nicole okay next i can purge a dog up a bone tree i’ll tell you what i got jiro style ramen with a jammy egg i remember when you were googling giro style robins josh what’s that ramen i like now there’s a lot of ramen styles out there yeah there’s you got your sukumen you’ve got your i don’t know tony paitan whatever you got all those stuff jiro style ramen is like the most intense ramen you’ve ever had in your life it’s like porky it’s salty it’s intense it’s like it’s almost like sucking down parmesan broth yeah and the noodles are chewy and the pork is tender and it has just a mountain of green onions and what are the things bean sprouts uh chili beans probably yeah bean sprouts i don’t know i i like refuse to eat bean sprouts but in this application i will always always always eat bean sprouts and a good jammy egg it can like change your like personality the first time you have a jammy egg it changes you i firmly believe that i i i don’t feel the same necessarily i feel that way about like boom bah way but it’s like uh tonkotsu ramen it’s a little too rich for my blood a little too rich in my blood um all right i got one word chimac what’s that chimac is the art of uh eating korean fried chicken while drinking copious amounts of beer and if it were truly my last meal i might just want to spend time at my favorite uh korean cheamax spot and just have three pitchers of height or cass or tara and then just a bunch of spicy crispy gochujang covered chicken wings so you have a practice in there yeah there’s practice there’s ritual yeah nice ritual in there cool i got in and out cheeseburger extra pickles extra sauce bun well done that is my order please try it if you are in the california area or whatever las vegas wherever you got it try it it is the best way to enjoy it like two spots in texas now good did you look like a popcorn water burger never had it well what a burger i mean truly poor quality this is me trying to take regional fights but like quality-wise it’s not even like a original thing like it’s just it’s the quality is not not not very good georgian dish it is uh they call it gondola pizza at some places in l.a or breakfast pizza that’s a knee slapper i want it right now oh you take that enriched dough you put a giant divot in it you crack in an egg as much as salty cheese fresh butter on top get it with a cider ranch oh well

like right it’s called like supreme chicken but they have kata pudding because it’s owned by an armenian dude they probably call it a jarski or a jarion yeah damn that’s good saffron pistachio ice cream gotta do i gotta represent persian culture wherever i go but saffron pistachio ice cream it’s it has this beautiful texture it’s almost stretchy and has little nubbins of cream it’s like these cream nuggets inside with these crunchy pistachios and it’s beautiful like blonde yellow color and you just eat it and you’re like this is an incredible situation that i put myself in persian ice cream is one of the wonders of the world wow oh oh ho did you go mash these or saffron roses i love both i recently had saffron and rose and i realized how good it was yeah they’re better saffron rose all day uh tantan men this this is my japanese noodle face okay okay uh so it’s like it’s the the japanese version of chinese dun dun mion um or dun dun min i guess it’s more pronounced uh anywho it’s just like all the things you love about ramen except like spicy and peanutty broth and to me it’s just like oh and you got a little bit of that like sichuan peppercorn spice going through it just numbs your mouth you’re on fire you’re sweating into the bowl beautiful kill me now uh tacos dorados camarones now when we talk about hot and cold yeah this is the perfect application of hot beautiful shrimp with cheese and the tortillas crispy and then they put this what is it like like a red salsa on top yeah it’s a salsa jito mate this is a tomato cold tomato sauce it is incredible the the way the heat and the cold just meld in your mouth it’s one of those experience food experiences that i always recall because i’m like this was an incredible thing that i tried and everyone on planet earth needs to try this before they’re they’re dead yo i gotta say like i’m just looking directly into the camera even though it’s gonna be like one person watching this on whatever tick tock turn on uh let us nerd out about food for this is our hundred tips exactly let us nerd out about all the insane esoteric stuff because taco storato is the cameronis it reminds me of an indian like chat okay you know like like honey poodle you’re right yeah like little crispy dumplings yeah because there’s that interplay of hot cold crispy sour spicy it’s perfect oh god what a perfect dish what a dish what a perfect dish mapo tofu okay got the ground pork the sichuan chili the fermented bean threads and then silken tofu is not silken but like soft tofu is just one of my favorite things in the world yeah put that on rice and then just ride that sichuan peppercorn lightning do you put soy sauce on it because i feel like it’s perfectly salted you don’t need to purchase on no no no condiments i agree it’s a perfectly salted dish which is hard to do like a gravy it’s just goddamn vodka pasta with rigatoni regatta now if you listen to the podcast you know rigatoni regate is bae and there’s something about vodka you know the pink sauce you know i know it’s trendy i know it’s cool but i love it so much and it and it feeds a part of my heart where i’m like i’m 15 years old i’m making my first pasta this is it i don’t i’m not gonna put vodka in it because i can’t reach the top of the water the shelf has a vodka on it but like vodka pasta with rigatoni or gate is a gorgeous pasta dish probably my favorite that probably would be my favorite if i had any italian pastas on here which i don’t think i do that would be my number yeah uh this is an obscure one jerusalem mixed grill had it in a spot in jerusalem you take like chicken thigh uh heart liver kidney and then i had spleen in the one that i had which is not legal in the united states um but it’s fan freaking tastic you grill all that up you mix it with like zatar inside of pita you put the what’s it called amba pickled mango on it and like just give me all of the chicken innards oh what a good time really good speaking of vineyards

bowl of new especially if you go on a new spot always get the duck yet that’s the best absolutely agree uh orange chicken ah i had orange chicken on my list but i took it off because i saw yours uh the panda express literally invented it um it’s like a response to the general shows chicken of the east coast and to me it is so hard to beat that combination of spicy sweet sour fried crispy it’s just perfect uh i’d be happy with that being my last bite of food before i die good job panda expression good job panda i got toboki as my next dish i love toboki it is a korean rice cake dish with

spicy gochujang and the sesame seeds and the green onions ah dudes korean gefilte fish it is all it is it is so good i agree right uh chopped chicken liver speaking of jews uh a good jewish chopped

sauteed with shrimp and then basically put inside of like a quesadilla situation okay okay uh but they griddle the corn tortilla is crispy and then you just submerge that in habanero salsa tacos i got robuchon potatoes yeah robuchon potatoes are one of the greatest potato applications of all time it’s pretty much equal parts butter and potato he uses a special potato joel roberton was one of the greatest chefs of all time r.i.p he used a special rat potato and then he just basically cooked it with cooked it until it was soft and then he put a bunch of butter in it and then he did this beautiful scalloping on the top and i was lucky enough to try it and it was one of the greatest potato experiences of my existence yeah he scienced the [ ] out of mashed potatoes i don’t i don’t know

soft uh sweet starchy good compliment to whatever you’re eating uh plateaus man i i we should eat more platinum yes uh spaghetti with a quarter cup of water at the bottom of the bowl so this is last one yeah the last one because this is the mr irrelevant pick what i’m talking about is the type of like italian american restaurant that you go and they have a sign outside it’s like guidos or cheetos or yeah it’s called little tonys and no one asks what happened to the big tony you won’t like the answer what happened the big tony but they have a sign that says like spaghetti eight dollars out on a marquee and you go in there and get the eight dollar spaghetti yeah yeah buy it oh and then they just pull the spaghetti right out of the water just throw it on a plate don’t drain it put a scoop of sauce on top they got liters of wine for twenty dollars and they just put the like maybe like three pieces of parmesan yeah yeah yeah they’re trying to skim margins but that said some of like my

die i don’t know what just fell out of my field now that we said like both of us like the hundred foods that that people need to eat how do you feel right i’m very proud of my i feel like it was an emotionally purging i feel like reaching 100 episodes on this podcast is a huge accomplishment i’m glad that i’ve shared this with you over the last like two years or whatever we’ve been doing this before and now i feel like i know more about you that uh you just you know eat prosciutto with the bathrobe on yeah and you basically are vietnamese yeah i usually love vietnam you love vietnam you love vietnamese food and you love mexican food those are probably my top two favorite foods in the entire world with like korean persian and indian coming in like the tears not the not that any country is better that but i just you know i grew up in like the area where there’s a lot of but everybody is equal but in their own special ways but also special i felt really good doing this i just want every i hope someone goes through this list one by one yeah tries all these things because that’s what the point of this is man we want you to feel our experiences through the podcast yeah these are things that mean so so so much to us like if you know uh i mean just start googling around your area yeah it might be a korean market that you didn’t know about where you can get topokey yeah exactly you never know go try these things uh let us know how you feel after trying all 100 of them expand your horizons and keep listening to the puck well 101 because josh added the chex mix but who’s counting [Music] all right nicole we’ve heard what you and i have to say now it’s time to find out what other wacky ideas are rattling out there in the twitterverse it’s time for a segment we call opinions are like [Music] got a little spooky on that one yeah and here before we get to our controversial opinions uh nicole you have hands correct two of them and some who who’s she and sometimes you take hot things out of an oven well nicole what if i told you that you could get the official mythical kitchen oven mitts now at mythical.com they’re like oven mitts except we sell them which is pretty cool no they they they work really well we actually went through a lot of rounds of design and we tested we would heat our cast irons up to like the heavy ones too on the burner for like 10 minutes and then throw them in a 500 degree oven and then put the oven mitts on my hand and she like josh go and i’d run in and i’d grab them good qc yeah so we actually they they work really well they’re really cool design our design team here is excellent if you want medical kitchen yeah they got the pasta on it i think we called him lenny at some point well his name’s lonnie short for capilani like cappellini oh i don’t even love capolini though it’s my least favorite favorite yeah it’s a controversial opinion look at us segway go ahead and start with the first one all right first up we got at taco millionaire sabritas turbos flamas are superior to takis they have a more nuanced spice you can actually taste the lime and corn i cannot the turbo slamas like after takis came out people started like doritos came out dina meet us uh people just started really trying to those are good i mean they’re all good um the takis are good but i could not place the difference but now you’ve influenced me to go get some sabrito starbucks flamas i just love all spicy chips yes i love you know my favorite is as of right now the chili limone lace oh dank i tend to not like spice with potatoes as much as like corn i think corn just holds it better oh i love it i was in the chip aisle the grocery store the other day and like damn near every new chip flavor is just like flaming hot yeah like that flaming hot lemon they got flamin hot cool ranch which is what a hell of an octopus oh not very good that’s they really just took both powders and threw it on yeah have fun i think they’re good still uh just somatic 25 gochujang on egg mcmuffin with nomi is next level good gochujang makes everything savory better i disagree i disagree i’ve had a go i’ve tried to add gochujang to a lot of things because i always keep a you know bottle um in in my fridge yeah me too and like a lot of times to me it doesn’t work it’s like a very heavy fermented sweet flavor it’s intense it’s a very intense sticky product to work with yeah it’s like people say sriracha makes everything better it’s like no it doesn’t no sriracha makes a lot of things better gochujang makes a lot of things better yeah but like sriracha is a heavy like garlic sweet funky chili flavor um that’s not gonna work on everything breakfast sandwich i’d go sriracha over over gochujang breakfast sandwich tabasco or something yeah actually yeah now that i think about it i won’t tap to you on that all right at brook mary mdm jalapeno cheetos and satsiki is the ultimate combo hell yeah man yeah wait that sounds dank i love the representation of jalapeno cheetos not a lot of people talk about jalapeno cheetos but damn i love them jalapeno cheetos didn’t get far enough away from original cheeto flavor to me to be like that much better they have that little jalapeno powder spice a little bit a little bit that said i’m imagining getting like a cucumber chunk from the tzatziki yeah wow what a delight good call brook maddie underscore abby says the best way to eat pancakes is covered in both maple syrup and over easy eggs ew yeah this is not i have long railed against like my grandma is like oh americans are so disgusting they put sit up on the whole breakfast plate cause that’s how i talk i’m josh’s grandmother grandma but i don’t know there’s something about syrup and eggs to me that like really don’t go well together just the image of of a yolk falling on a stack of pancakes and imagine if some of that white isn’t set too and you have some of the liquid white running down the pancake why are you doing that no see that is something that i just can’t wrap my i can’t do that i can’t do that you’re next all right at space king bobby a banana wrapped in a slice of american cheese is a delicious snack sure yeah i get it i believe you i absolutely get this mm-hmm you’re missing a ham i was gonna say ham and hollandaise well i’m not ham holly’s banana no everyone no no everyone craps on that it’s so good there’s no way hollandaise stays good with that you’re lying bananas and mayonnaise good hollandaise is just better mayonnaise um tristan briggs va i wanted mythical chef you to know he wasn’t alone i grew up drinking milk mixed with orange or juice or grape soda not quite pepsi milk but close enough yeah shout out to pilk shout out to either warm or cold milk out there hate the word pill also shout out to the reddit thread uh on the mythical kitchen subreddit where people were making pilk and talking about it and confirming that i’m not crazy pilk is real pilk exists representation for pilk poke is nasty just the concept of milk makes me sick well it curdles after five minutes you gotta drink oh okay well there you go i had jfilbert uh i know you all have debated this before but i believe that the best noodle shape for mac and cheese is wagon wheels wow underrated i have not had wagon wheel pasta well there’s a name for it and i’m not gonna remember it wagon wheel no i listen maybe dude i don’t know i haven’t had it in long enough to really tell but like when you said hotel rotel yeah it just like immediately uh a nostalgia flood hit me um i’ve had it recently because i have nieces and nephews and it’s a damn good pasta shape underrated pasta shape love it crispy underscore man says cool whip is neutral enough flavor to dip practically anything in it including salami slices and cheese uh i’ve done i’ve dipped a lot of things in cool whip honey have you ever done salami i’m crazy like that you don’t know me you would dip salami and cool what did everything in cool with i don’t care i think i agree i guess i agree that it’s a neutral enough flavor but like do you what but who benefits who benefits from dipping people are you enjoying it if you’re looking for a neutral flavor to dip something in sure if that’s all you’re out for but what is what is even a neutral flavor well i mean there’s not i mean cool neutral flavor is an oxymoron it’s like no i think like you know a lack of flavor is still flavor insofar as darkness is an absence of light you gotta be following this we follow cool whip to me is a little bit offensive because the the texture the hydrogenated oil gets like stuck to the roof of your mouth i like it i used to when i was a kid i would freeze cool up and eat like ice cream yeah i know that’s the best way to eat it that’s good stuff uh i wait i love this next one this is pita broke oysters are an aphrodisiac woke chilled seafood towers are a powerful aphrodisiac shout out to uh me and julia spending 300 on
