AHDIAS 125: Breakfast Tacos vs. Breakfast Burritos – Live at Mythicon

[Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Texas speaking of Austin Nicole did you know that we have been lied to our entire lives in the breakfast taco was not invented in Austin Texas well I said it that’s bold of you to say considering we’re inside Austin Texas this is a hot dog it’s a sandwich live from mythical ketchup is a smoothie yeah I put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich all right enough chit chat we gotta get down to business here because we have a very serious topic we are talking about breakfast burritos versus breakfast tacos I know what you’re saying you didn’t think we’d get political up here no we’re doing it baby it’s happening no and the reason I want to talk about this we are in Austin Texas a lot of people associate Austin with breakfast exactly no totally reasonably but but there is a I was gonna say famous incident but I realized that the things that are famous to me are famous to exactly zero people out there yes I’m calling this a famous incident someone for eater.com wrote an article about how the breakfast taco was invented in Austin then the city of San Antonio the city itself issued issued a uh uh there was a petition that was signed by over 2 000 people to quote Exile the author of the article out of the state of Texas this actually happened uh because San Antonio claims to have invented it and so that strike one unclear Origins breakfast burritos strike one against what breakfast tacos I am in favor of breakfast burritos that is right come down thank you oh right side of History what if I told you that’s such an odd coincidence because I freaking love breakfast tacos okay we’ll get more into it but breakfast tacos all I got that’s all I gotta say okay keep going what was that what was that you know what this means this is the Italian hand gesture for taco for taco uh what’s your next strike okay so my next strike against breakfast tacos is that I believe food is incredibly personal incredibly Regional and I think you should root for the food from your home state and so I am saying that the breakfast burrito which I believe to be invented in Pasadena California does history actually verify this fact probably not was it probably in New Mexico sometime in the 1960s yes however I believe lucky boy in Pasadena which was a part of my childhood which is Delicious By the way oh my God lucky boy breakfast burritos are the business oh my God so good we used to drive up to UCLA games in Pasadena at the Rose while I’m eight years old I’m there you hear the Roar of the fans you know you believe in something greater than yourself that is both the power of sports and food and then afterwards after we saw the Bruins just get wiped out by some better football team because they kind of suck back then but we’d go to Lucky Boy and get breakfast burritos any time of day because they’re open 24 hours ago at 7 p.m you know or we might even be there it might have been a night game I’ve been 10 p.m up there past my bedtime eating a lucky boy breakfast burrito and to me that is one of my greatest food experiences of all time and that’s what I try to recapture but not only that that is the experience that I want to share with other people when I talk about breakfast burritos does that mean I’m incredibly biased and there’s no actual answer to this no I just I just like breakfast tacos more they’re easier to eat they’re easier to construct and they go down quicker if you eat a breakfast burrito your whole entire like hour is dedicated to that burrito on that burrito only and that’s beautiful that’s beautiful no no don’t applaud her let me just say I’m a busy girl I got a lot of things on my plate I can’t have a breakfast burrito be them I love going out and getting a breakfast burrito don’t get me wrong but I’m just home I just slapped three corn tortillas in the microwave do a little toast on the end with my you know I turn on the the gas burner and then I just kind of flick it on the Flames to get a little bit charred I scramble some eggs I put on some salsa I put on some avocado I go Chomp Chomp Chomp and I’m done okay minor in architecture to be able to make a good breakfast burrito I I don’t have that kind of education and I’m not willing to go to any sort of online like uh college degree to get that you know University of Phoenix online for burrito architecture I paid 900 for that class and I’m gonna use it it’s just the ease of it’s not the ease of eating it you know and that’s that’s where I’m coming from you know easy fast get it done eggs in my body tortilla peace out all right hold on I respect that I respect that breakfast tacos might be more democratic and who am I to sit here in gatekeep the egg and tortilla eating experience that is not so good what my intention is is to preach to all of you out there to take more time with your food you said it’s easier to eat breakfast tacos it’s faster exactly better does that mean better you like to you literally take fistfuls of lunch meat and shove it in your toilet because you don’t sit down to take a lunch break and you mean to tell me take your time with your food you’re lying so also as the person who ate three pounds three ounces of baby food in one minute I’m proud not one day ago I know something about eating food quickly I’m proud of you that was that was quite a feat can we address the elephant in the room did you try it all yesterday look to your can of baby food and it was 99.9 full I was you that’s like pie eating contest nah son free pie oh yeah yeah me but with apple baby yeah but that Meme is successful because people universally love eating pie you’re just down to Nosh on some baby food you’re like I’m feeling peckish let’s have some prune it’s a mythicon boo like what else are we gonna do I think that breakfast tacos and breakfast burritos to me they’re not like a staple of my day today right my day-to-day well that’s you you see me in my day today yeah in what I eat yeah and like you said it’s fistfuls of lunch meat yeah it’s a lot of protein shakes so much mustard recently yeah what’s on a mustard Kick let me explain what she’s talking about so often you know uh we’re both busy gals on the go we were you know our job we’re always producing a lot of food we’re filming a lot of stuff recording a lot of podcasts there’s not a lot of time in the day so sometimes for a quick and healthy lunch I’ll put a pound of ham on a plate but I spread it out so there’s a lot of service area and then you make like a spider web of mustard and then you shove that in your face over the trash can um and to me clap if you relate [Applause] life is hard sometimes you just gotta shove lunch meat in your gullet but for me something as special as a breakfast burrito it is special it is ice cream it’s special and it’s an event that’s what I’m that’s what I’m saying I’m saying eventize your food more right like almost treat it as a meditative experience eat breakfast burrito it’s just meditating just for you 100 100 it is it is you can find God in a good breakfast burrito Nicole when you get to that last bite when you hold a burrito vertically talking about architecture this is where a burrito really shines to me because the last bite all of the juices from the bacon they’ve now trickled downward like a Babbling Brook into the potatoes at the bottom and the bottom it is barely Holding On by a thread because you can literally go and slurp up the breakfast juices from the butt of the tortilla and to me that is a religious experience I think thank you I think every time you mindlessly shove these breakfast tacos that you’re making into your mouth I think you’re spitting in the face of burrito God up there okay I think you are a burrito carrotic and you need to at home because being a weird burrito Zealot right now okay but all this anger what is your favorite breakfast burrito like or taco like what is your ideal situation like tell me okay so there are a lot of like fancy new school breakfast burritos out there and a lot of them are really fun I’ve had there’s one from a spot in Los Angeles that does like some of the best pastrami you’ve ever had and they’re smoking this Texas style you know it’s like a Texas style brisket but with pastrami spices they smoke their potatoes and they do like poached eggs in there so you get the runny yolk and uh peppers and onions and it’s really beautiful and great but to me the glory of a breakfast burrito is in its Simplicity she’ll get some sort of crispy fried potato and I think maybe the best potato for a breakfast burrito is the tater tot the tater tot and more okay no it’s Homestyle potatoes no no that’s where you’re wrong which I don’t understand can you okay no no explain to the people take a break tell the people breathe out yeah I’m just not a big Tater Tot person what do you mean you’re just not a big tanker they’re always too dry they’re too they’re too crispy and they’re not okay soft creamy inside that you get with a home style or a french fry Todd crunch I don’t need that too much crisps too much crunch no no the point of a potato is that it was a food of austerity right it was literally who wants to hear about potato history [Applause] do you have it it doesn’t matter because I’m gonna talk about it yeah so okay so a lot of people um somebody sent me a meme that was like mashed potatoes or just Irish guacamole I could set this way um but potatoes did not come to Europe until the Colombian Exchange so until 1492 potatoes are native to Peru correct specifically and so they were growing in South America so literally you think of Ireland and potatoes they literally weren’t even there until the mid 1500s and a lot of dishes recipes the tortilla for instance dates back probably around 10 000 years which is incredible so I Ireland in potatoes only you know maybe 500 and so uh literally the government was like we’ve had a lot of wheat crops failing we need a new plant to be able to like feed the masses especially as there was a little bit more industrialization urbanization people move into cities stuff like that yeah so they literally just you know started planting potato crops yeah and you’ll see a lot of philosophers actually write about potatoes there was one I can’t remember the name of the philosopher but he was talking about how he thought the Irish were the most beautiful people because they ate the most potatoes um and yeah so it’s a really new uh crop but it was also a crop specifically for the peasants you’ve heard the Irish Potato Famine of course it was all because of like uh really predatory British taxation policy that basically there was one potato blight suddenly the Irish had nothing to eat so potatoes have always been a food of necessity and austerity I love them however I think a lot of the best recipes try and get the most potato out so to me you grind the potato you grind it with MSG with salt with oil you mash it into a taut shape you deep fry it and then to me that is the best because it removes the austerity from the potato and transforms it via industrialization Nicole I just don’t like thank you okay so you like tater tots what else wait real quick do y’all want some dinner time history I’m sorry I couldn’t turn this off if I tried it’s okay go for it tater tot is actually one of the most uh protected pieces of intellectual property by or Ida right yeah the or Ida company which y’all have seen that brand in the freezer and stuff it’s literally a poor manteau of Oregon and Idaho because that’s where all the potatoes are grown to go up and nobody else can use the phrase tater tot legally yes that’s why you’ll see uh Burger King will have like potato nuggets or it’ll be like Tater crowns Tater pups tater tot they are so protective of it and I think that’s hilarious yeah yeah because it’s such a stupid name and they’re saying they have like lawyers in suits in New York filing injunctions against you know a diamond but anyway so I love tater tots okay um give me like a good hard scrambled egg hard scratch hard scramble okay I don’t need a sauce I agree I agree on the hard screen give me a Denny’s style hard scrambled yeah yeah for sure and then I don’t I love chorizo and eggs as a thing but in a breakfast burrito I’m probably going bacon yes and then something bacon crispy bacon yeah yeah not it’s separate from the eggs not scrambled in no no tater tots yes yes a ton of just the most processed yellow cheese possible it needs to be yellow needs to be yellow yeah and then here is the kicker that a lot of people have started doing today I think that in the past five years we’ve found out that people love mayonnaise a lot more than they thought they did can we get a shout out for mayonnaise in the crowd he’s right he’s right yeah uh watching a giant crowd chant for mayonnaise is kind of weird looking on it now but no uh people will they’ll mix anything red or orange with mayonnaise and then they’ll call it something else and people like I love this and it’s like that’s 98 mayonnaise you just love the mayonnaise and that’s 98 to me I really am I come from a long line I grew up eating it out of the jar oh no but no you put some sort of like spicy Chipotle aioli in there you’re fancy and then to me that’s a perfect breakfast burrito you have a great salsa Roja on the side and then you wrap it up you griddle it off you wrap it in foil for at least five minutes to steam that is the ideal breakfast burrito it’s just so involved it’s exhausting yes but it’s nobody has time for that in this in this world right now Josh I don’t maybe on a Sunday well I’m not talking about making breakfast burritos I I do that sometimes that’s like a special occasion and which is to say only when I’m deeply hungover oh yeah because there’s only one yeah very good to me it’s a breakfast burrito a quart of black coffee and a 16 ounce green juice that is not medical advice by the way don’t I’m a quarter black communities probably like 450 but and how much is a human supposed to drink the FDA says anything over 400 per day is toxic yeah but but but Jeremiah no it’s Daniel okay all right Miriam I had a moment my thought is I’m 30 larger than the average human I can drink 30 more caffeine I don’t know I don’t know okay thank you I’m built different okay tell me tell me about your ideal breakfast taco okay like I said you put you put the corn tortillas on the paper for 13 seconds you’re talking about the cheap paper plate too right you gotta use three of them so it doesn’t fall over and then and then you take it while it’s still piping piping hot and then you slap it on the grip like uh it’s not on the grill what’s it called when the fire comes a burner thank you you say laughs and then and then you sing it ever so gently so it gets like a little bit of color you know what I mean and then hard scramble and then some delicious salsa like that’s just hanging out in your cupboard wait do you all have covered salsa because that’s yeah as much as I wish I could make my own salsa some Jarred stuff is just better it’s good it’s good I’m not gonna pretend I’m not gonna fry and once you find a brand that you trust yeah I’ve been obsessed with that it’s called Uh Casa Martinez they do this like Chipotle salsa and then they call it like salsa Tate oh nice oh man I just I will literally it’s actually shocking how fast I’ll eat a jar of salsa it’s good especially when Julie’s out of town and I’m left to eat for myself Fistful of meat in the sausage oh no whole rotisserie chicken and if you break it apart just right you can fit each piece inside the jar of salsa and pull it out and then it’s like you’re a class thank you I am very dignified man um but I have literally eaten a full jar it’s like a 16 ounce jar in a day and a half a tomato yeah yeah it’s good reflux um no but now that I’ve turned 30 give it up for 30 year olds 30 year olds we’re trying our best um now that I’ve turned 30 I can like feel all the the gears unraveling in my body and things are just starting to go south so give me a year and a half and I’ll be there nice yeah yeah the massive reflex until it was like 11. [Music] thanks for listening to our special mythicon episode yeah and we also wanted to tell you about the episode of Trevor talks too much that’s out right freaking now that’s right Trevor had special guests Shane top and Courtney Miller from Smosh and things got wild they talked about the strange rabbit holes we all fall into when Trevor and Shane finally settled their long bean battle on stage once and for all I won sure you did Buddy be sure to follow Trevor talks too much to listen right now and don’t miss out on any of the other live mythcon episodes coming out this week we got ear biscuits dispatchers from Myrtle Beach and best friends back all right follow all mythical podcasts wherever you get your podcast so you don’t miss out [Music] um where was I oh talking about what I like to put in my breakfast goggles okay salsa from the cupboard and then just a very light slice of avocado and then a single cilantro please that’s it that’s it that’s it I don’t that’s it you keep Salon cilantro it goes pretty quick like that wilts in the fridge fast you’re keeping cilantro on hand yeah just for the single piece of cilantro and parsley in my in my fridge that’s actually small always I actually do too and I do I do switch it out whenever it starts to look a little bit funky but yeah that’s my ideal breakfast taco and I think it’s delicious and I think it’s easy it’s for The Working Girl and it’s you just you just put it in and let me tell you sometimes people are so talented their breakfast taco game is incredible like here I’ve had a chorizo I was chorizo egg and Monterey Jack and it was just perfect you don’t need anything you don’t need all the bells and whistles you don’t need to put it in what foil and griddle it no just eat it it’s delicious go away I have to I’m legally obligated to be here [Laughter] no I I do think one thing one thing about food that I generally believe in I’ll never forget I went to a restaurant with my great uncle and my brother and it was called like House of cheesesteaks somewhere near Allentown Pennsylvania am I right let’s see go Birds baby we’re coming to balance but my brother orders a plate of spaghetti and my great uncle like stops him and he goes It’s called The House of cheesesteaks you get a cheese steak yeah and so my brother uh still ate the spaghetti um he’s kind of a schmuck he’s really picky about stuff uh but anyways if you’re in a place like Austin Texas for instance you should be eating the things one eat whatever the heck you actually want but to eat the things that Austin is known for right that’s why yesterday before the baby food competition we ate like two pounds of brisket it was so much fun actually not brisket smoked beef cheeks beef cheeks oh my God dang yeah shout out for cabeza and cacheta wow the Barbacoa we had was fantastic incredible we had a smoked cheeseburger I mean what kind of timeline is this but that’s something we can’t get that anywhere in L.A yeah we can’t you can’t get stuff like that in a majority of America that’s one of the beautiful things about food right because it’s rooted to time it’s rooted to place it’s rooted to tradition and so if I’m in Austin Texas which I am now and I have not had a breakfast taco yet on our trip you haven’t tomorrow everyone’s screaming the best place to get a breakfast taco right now Taco Deli Taco Deli okay Taco Deli uh Tamale House East Tamale House East yeah the Vasquez family Diana Vazquez and tamale houses what all right I’ll just stop I’ll go already jeez calm down I like it when they scream but look that’s kind of my point though is like if you’re in Austin get the breakfast tacos yeah but the only ones that we’re exposed to in LA are the ones that are transplants from Austin so we’re getting like a facsimile on a facsimile you know what I mean which isn’t like an argument for my deeper thing though is that I I generally love variety right and that’s what you can get with a taco that’s the beauty of it I love variety but sometimes you need a little bit of structure a little bit of you got to know what you’re doing in life sometimes you know when you wake up you brush your teeth you just it’s natural you eat a breakfast burrito and then and then you just don’t know what you’re gonna do for the rest of the day I can’t live like that that is fair it’s too much stress and anxiety with eating a big ass burrito like that if I eat a burrito like in the first the first two hours of the day I’m kind of done for at least six hours I know that it’s like don’t talk which is kind of how I plan out all of my days now though is that I’m just because we don’t mess around we don’t make little dinky ones we make like Hefty big I’m kind of burping a baby sometimes I like to think they are they’re big they’re huge we don’t we don’t mess around and make these little baby ones we go I don’t know we go hard sometimes I like to weigh them just to see if I can hit a personal record and right now we’re like in but it’s it’s got to be one Standard 12 inch tortilla so far the record for me is like 2.3 pounds uh thank you I’m sorry I’m all so impressed you know what you know what it was there was a day on set where we had a bunch of leftover some sort of like ground chuck some sort of like heavy fatty beef and we made like birria oh was that out of it you made the Roll-Ups and we just made burritos that were just straight filled with two pounds of beef and we just housed them like all of us individually ate two pounds of just the fattiest cut of beef wrapped in tortillas braised in spicy sauce and we were dead to the world sorry to Rhett and Link we lost the company money that day because we did no work Josh stared at me and he’s like wow you ate that quick and I’m like yeah it was good I remember that very vividly I remember you stood the burrito up because that’s how thick it was and you weren’t using your hands you were literally just like a bird eating seed just like it was really impressive it was a feat of athleticism [Laughter] weren’t you gonna be an English Professor yeah this is better it’s way better it’s better much more exciting um could you imagine if this is like a symposium on Charles Dickens instead no it’s not even a little two cities what Dickens was how do you feel okay we were talking about breakfast we’re using breakfast tacos how do you feel about chili Kelis because I really like those oh wait no no hold up that’s that’s the best that’s the best breakfast dish in the history of breakfast dishes right okay I think chilakile is over migas me too me too the way that I view this as a Californian at least is that chilaquiles you take the tortilla chips and they are sauteed in some sort of a salsa which as the lover of wet Foods I just think it’s the most beautiful invention yeah and then most of the time they’ll be top to the Friday you can get it with scrambled eggs sometimes there’s no egg at all but then Migos um our Jewish people call it or matzo Bree where you break up the monster and the eggs but Migos is like tortillas scrambled with the eggs right yeah see I go to like he lays over migas I want this separate experience of the egg breaking into the spicy yeah we should debate that but there’s no debate have you ever had a chilaquiles breakfast burrito where they take the chilaquiles the soft wet tortilla chips and they just shove it into side of a tortilla with eggs and more bacon and to me Nicole to me to me to me this is the promise of the breakfast burrito you can take anything in the world that you treasure and you want and you can shove that inside of a tortilla and you can eat it in your car you know what podcasts actually influenced the way that I think about food more than ever it which I didn’t think this man no I’m saying the one I’m saying the one that we no it’s an episode of our show is what I was saying oh okay okay and I didn’t think this man would ever influence the way that I thought about food this is Charles Lincoln Neil oh oh I know that guy I don’t know if y’all listen to the episode with link called why do picky eaters exist but we wanted to have him on to talk about it because we’ve been cooking for him but I’ve been here for five years so I really wanted to pick huh and find out what that means yeah and I thought we were gonna go away from that episode imploring him to eat more adventurous like not in the show at least because he’ll eat anything but I’m talking about in his real life I was like oh he’s gonna come out of this eating tomatoes you know that’s not gonna Inspire him to try new things but that didn’t happen the opposite happened where he inspired me to be more picky yeah straight up sure because he was like he was like I forgive me if links listen forgive me for paraphrasing here or uh misrepresenting but he was like I’m not picky I’m preferential yeah he’s like I’m a 44 year old man is he 44 sorry how old he is but he looks great but he’s like I’m a 44 year old man I have spent my entire life figuring out what gives me pleasure what gives me pain what I want to do what I don’t want to do yeah and these are simply things that I don’t want to do so for me my allegiance to breakfast burritos at this point I don’t know if it’s because I’m a 30 year old man now and he can’t teach an old dog new tricks my bones feel so old somebody shout out to the person at the meet and greet who was like hey can we do a jumping picture and I was like physically I don’t know that I came I couldn’t do it we all immediately started like warming up our knees we’re like well I will do it let’s see if it’s possible I got two inches off the ground and crumbled I got zero inches but you know what I mean I’m at this point where it’s like I don’t know that I want to change do you picture yourself spending the rest of your life in California yes of course really 100 you’re like you wouldn’t I have no I’ve never lived anywhere else I never went away for college I never did that study abroad stuff that all cool kids did like I never did that stuff I never studied abroad in Barcelona no I did it but um I’ve always wanted to but I’m just so rooted and connected in California my parents are here my in-laws are here my life is here and I don’t know if I can necessarily reroute angota I don’t know Idaho no no Trevor wait hold on no no there’s families there I can’t go there we do have a loose plan to all move to a commune outside of Boise Idaho not true wait no I’m saying it’s a loose plan right now this is the first time I’m ever hearing about oh no me and Trevor talk about it all the time you do well mostly me and Trevor’s dad yeah we talk his name’s also Josh cool guy good question no I imagine my whole life will be in California this is your food a lot right I get all the things that you make if that were the case then I would be a team breakfast burrito well no but I’m wondering where this is coming from then you know is it Nicole is this you rebelling against your do you wish that you would have studied abroad in Barcelona do you know that your parents never let you out of the house in the morning I’m just asking I’m trying to learn Nicole we we’re best friends right yeah yeah of course we spend more time together than you know any I just got two kittens and they’re in the running honestly I thought you were about to say two kids and I was like what dude no not yet no I just got two kittens how am I not The Godfather um they’re pretty sweet so they’re like in the running like it’s like Josh kittens you know oh thank God um my cat the other day speaking of breakfast burritos I was literally eating a breakfast burrito it was from a place called surfaceka you ever had that one no I’ve never wait somebody has had survey Tech a breakfast burrito in here yeah wait let’s who wants to hear more about Los Angeles cross streets and breakfast burritos when I was eating breakfast burrito and it was standing up and my cat comes up and literally claw he like the way somebody would like open a manhole cover he like clawed off the top of my burrito and it was incredible and I was I couldn’t even be mad at him because I was just impressed that’s cute but I don’t know why I like I don’t know why I like breakfast tacos so much they’re just more compact they’re easier to eat like I said I’m I’m I’m on the run you know I don’t have time to you know roll up a breakfast burrito and like put stuff in it and make sure all the stuff is good like I don’t have that time I just gotta scramble some eggs and just you’re talking about breakfast tacos and breakfast burritos that you yourself make right yeah that’s where I’m coming from because you this is no but that sounds like you know what part of it is that you want to have that control over what you’re putting in it you know you can have if you want to architecture each of those things differently you’re not then stuck with a thing Nicole you’re afraid of commitment I just don’t control the heft of a burrito scares me at times it’s a commitment yeah maybe I’m commitment that’s what I’m saying you’re afraid of commitment I have commitment open your heart I was at your wedding can I open this damn thing I ate so many skewers of meat at your wedding I was like literally that was what I was doing 90 if you didn’t see me on the Dance Floor I was eating skewered meat thank you and for anybody wondering it wasn’t just Kebab I mean you had like nine different kinds of skewered meat at the wedding and to me that’s the height of luxury I had a lot of me at the wedding yes that’s her thank you shout out to my mother-in-law for making that menu um no but I don’t know I just I just can’t commit to like eating all of this in the morning I’m I can’t I can’t I’m I can’t do it okay so this is a thing I like to do with breakfast burritos especially if I’m a little bit uh they call it in Spanish I’m a little hungover right then I’ll take like one bite every three minutes it’s like Power Hour where you you know take a shot of beer every minute for 60 minutes I’ve never done that before well that was a college thing nobody did that in college Power Hour yeah come on wait wait you take a shot of beer once every minute for 60 straight minutes so it’s like it’s ultimately five beers in an hour which is a lot oh it is a lot and again this is not medical advice uh yeah quart of coffee five beers in an hour normal um but I’ll do that with a breakfast burrito and I will graze on it also last time I got food poisoning was from a breakfast burrito that had been sitting at room temperature for like six hours so maybe don’t do that no you did I think if I’ve learned anything today it’s that I do a lot of dumb things related to food yeah yeah does that track yeah I’d say so okay but yeah maybe you’re right maybe just tacos are just easier and they’re just my comfort maybe that’s what it is maybe just scrambled eggs in a little tortillas my comfort food and I don’t want to change that just like how you don’t want to change your love of breakfast burritos and that’s fine right you know what we can’t agree I no I I do I I fully agree with that again link Tommy that food is food is really personal yeah people I’m not trying to change you of anything I’m trying to change myself I’m trying to convince myself to open my heart to the City of Austin Texas and let me inside their breakfast taco culture okay because I I want to believe honestly like I I probably spent more time in Austin Texas than any city outside of La uh in college we used to come here every spring break for the Texas relays I take my little like per diem money and I would just go find the best barbecue I mean I was waiting in line for Franklin Barbecue before or I would the day I was supposed to thank you the day I was supposed to compete in the hammer throw shout out track and field throwers out there oh my goodness I was waiting in line for Franklin Barbecue and ate brisket before I competed in an athletic event and so like I have a deep deep love for the city but there’s always been the one thing and that’s breakfast tacos that I’ve never been able to fully Embrace but I want to open my heart Nicole teach me to open my heart I have the solution what’s that let’s go to breakfast tomorrow and just eat both of them I’m in and let’s just do that I’m in let’s just do we don’t always need to agree but we need to be open-minded I agree and that’s what this whole podcast is about honestly people out there especially locals like on Twitter Instagram send us all of your breakfast taco Rex because we actually are going to do that tomorrow because I I wanna I wanna you know I want to give it a chance to give it a chance let’s do it if there’s one thing we can agree on it’s that Gordon Ramsay sucks and I’ll tell you why really quick really quick [Applause] we both mentioned specifically hard scrambled eggs I love hard scrambled eggs scrambled eggs you know who hates hard scrambled eggs is Gordon Ramsay because I have had breakfast tacos and breakfast burritos have you ever seen scrambles have you all seen his video of the eggs where he makes like a hot salty pudding and he’s like yeah it’s like a custard it’s like I don’t know a little bit of cream fresh take it off that he put on the heat take it off yeah give me a hard scramble man and I’ve had breakfast tacos and they’ve tried those Gordon Ramsay eggs and you take one bite and just goes it just spurts out the back so Gordon Ramsay for ruining the couple breakfast tacos that I’ve tried to love screw you man still if he’s out there listening come on the show we we really would like that that’d be that’d be really big for the squad that’d be really big for the squad very good [Music] ready oh we’re doing the next part of it holy smokes there’s two parts to the pot oh yeah exactly and we say something yeah do you want me to say it no no do you want to say it no you say it all right Nicole we’ve heard me you and I have to say now it’s time to find out what other wacky ideas are rattling out there in the crowd we’re doing a special live version of opinions on like casseroles [Music] circular breathing wait well we didn’t do the full song okay one two one two three opinions are like casserole everyone’s got one and they smell like onions that’s the only thing we’ve written so far [Laughter] but if somebody wants to like really what rhymes with onions what’s the other one bunions bunions uh and if you don’t have comfortable shoes you’ll get it we need to we need to get sponsored by like a bunion cream company first this is a business folks this is a business because Dr scholes Dr Scholl’s a real doctor uh anyways we got we got people out in the crowd forming their opinions we got okay where are we at we got people with microphones all right yeah if anybody has oh please raise your hand Annelise will find you in the Crowd Oh wow Josh will find you and then okay okay I’ll think all right we got right up front he gave me a great Taco Deli Taco recommendation annalize sorry to make it run around also can everybody give a hand to Annelise who is literally literally the MVP of mythical kitchen and most of mythical entertainment mashed potatoes are Savory pudding wait wait mashed potatoes what’s your name hold on Savory pudding my name is Clifford mashed potatoes are Savory pudding and my name’s Clifford huh mashed potatoes are Savory pudding hold on hold on now are they okay so so so oh no no gravy gravy have you ever put like chocolate sauce or whipped cream on like pudding yeah yeah that’s fair I will say okay so it’s just gravy so pudding yeah yeah I think he’s right I think he’s right because pudding is something that it’s like a sweetened cream that’s thickened by starch right because if you look at like French custards that’s thickened with egg yeah American puddings and we’re not talking about British pudding because when British people say the word pudding it means cake I have no idea but like sometimes it means an actual pudding and then sometimes it means just something I’m eating for dessert and then sometimes it just I what’s like what’s a Yorkshire pudding I have no idea do we have any British people in the crowd oh my God wait hold on microphone’s going to you to explain pudding please okay so you couldn’t the accent’s legit sorry that was you you can use the word pudding for like any dessert but mainly it’s like sponges like hot sponges with like sauce like sticky toffee pudding pudding and like um yeah Yorkshire puddings are great they’re amazing yeah I’m a fan I’m a fan also the way you say sponge is sponge right to Great British Bake Off for me it’s just right it’s real it’s very lovely Spoons the room on it is beautiful um Paul Hollywood’s eyes haunt me in my sleep uh I I would agree that mashed potatoes are Savory pudding it is I think you’re right and the gravy is the whipped cream slash syrup you put on top so very astute do I still think mashed potatoes are the worst form of potato preparation yes that’s shady thank you so shady oh yeah keep booing me yeah booing [Applause] you’re gonna do a mashed potato eating contest just because of this yeah yeah all potatoes do turn into mashed potatoes within five seconds of entering your mouth do we have another opinion raise your hand I’ve been booed in this tent so much now I love it right over there Tim um yeah yes it’s kind of a not that strong of a flavor I mean it is good don’t get me wrong but you put it in something like say a grilled cheese with like some nice strong cheeses you just completely lose the avocado yeah preach wow preach be more discretionary with your avocado usage this is true this is true I love avocados I put them on just about everything but whenever I go to a restaurant and it says a dollar 75 to add an avocado I want a rage the price of the avocados are too damn High I get so like bagel with that like what are you talking about so I love avocado and I understand why it’s so delicious and anxious and beautiful it’s like it’s like fat from a tree you know it’s beautiful but I just can’t I can’t justify constantly getting it on my food for that kind of price I also love that you didn’t just come in with a flavor argument but you were like this is an issue of supply and demand economics if you see the elastic curve on the avocado demand scale but no it’s true the fact that people love avocados so much that you will throw it on if I see avocado and a fried egg on a burger I immediately don’t trust whoever made that because I’m like either or it’s either or the Egg and the avocado function as the same thing unless it’s a breakfast breakfast Burger I’ll let that slide thank you but but if it’s a breakfast Burger it probably has bacon to cut through that because avocado like you said it’s it’s tree fat little fat Thing That Grew From a tree and so for me if you view cooking like algebra who wants to hear a metaphor about algebra sorry nope but I’m saying I’m saying is having different variables you can plug in different values for right you already have fat with the avocado sure kind of like plugging up that hole for a variable and if you put egg in there it’s like well that’s already been if you have fat taken care of you need to add in if it’s a runny egg yeah you need to add acid you need to add salt you need to add something else so I totally agree with you we need to be more discretionary in a grilled cheese with avocado is the perfect example of a bad use of avocado agreed and amen great opinion great opinion Nicole that’s why we do this we also have a mic with Logan on this house oh yeah who else is who else has a terrible opinion uh right there glasses sorry I called you glasses like an 80s pulley hey you glasses stop me don’t worry I’m very self-conscious about my glasses they look good thank you anyway I don’t know how you classify uh cereal but I classify cereal as a soup cereal is a soup yeah I I think I’d agree with that right so uh we talked about this on the Pod this was maybe episode two or something like that I think it’s the episode it was episode three thank you so much you know thank you thank you um and you like kind of like uh brainwashed me into this video and I did it not because I believed it but because I could I hate to say it but yeah cereal is the soup and I hate that that’s true yeah it’s a cold soup gazpacho is a cold soup this is oatmeal a cold now oatmeal is a porridge which is distinctly different from soup it’s a gruel it’s a gruel it is a gruel and gruel is I love gruel we right it’s gorilla Pudding we gotta ask the Britain back there I don’t know [Laughter] um but no I have sensitive I’ve evolved my stance on this to now believe that soup does not exist and I refuse to recognize it as a term so thank you for your time exactly uh you can listen to the podcast episode soup does not exist all right let’s see let’s go over there thanks Logan everyone clap it up for Logan too hi Logan cutie okay the best snack to have with a glass of red wine is jalapeno goldfish dipped in Honey someone run that back okay the best snack to have with a glass of red wine is jalapeno fish and honey okay all right good yeah are you tasting the notes because like they’re only those like Mega goldfish the big blast goldfish big black goldfish yeah I’ve had those before okay but I hate them I do too but the jalapeno but the jalapeno ones okay okay okay yeah honey jalapeno uh fake cheddar soft nice red wine what what’s what what varietal what kind of red wine the whatever Trader Joe’s has for 6.99 that’s right man that is the only correct answer that was the only correct answer that’s the way to do it yeah yeah I love Savory sweet combos like blue cheese and honey is one of my favorite flavors in the whole entire world um so jalapeno and honey makes a lot of sense to me and red wine always makes sense to me I can’t wait to try this I’m gonna preface this with all wine pairings or a scam it’s literally all of them it’s a magic trick if somebody sells you a good story I know I know and that’s fine but what I’m saying is if it tastes good to you that’s the only thing that matters I will say most spicy food people tend to pair with the Young Harvest rieslings um uh my brother is a sommelier and he’s really annoying and so I was trying to channel him on that um but no I I’ll come eat goldfish which you drink some red wine let’s do it what else we got big man in the orange sweater in the back I like your glasses thank you um peanut butter and jelly on toasted bread with the um with hot tea is the best company his name with hot tea yes dude wait okay okay let’s break this down my dad no not your but that sounds like something my daddy he’s got big dad energy too toasted bread oh cause the hot tea just calms him down after a heart no I get it I get it it is that is something my father would consume wait can I ask a follow-up question yes do you build the PB J on the bread while it’s hot or do you let the toast cool down no you have to do what’s hot it melts the peanut butter and makes it very creamy and also helps melt the jelly as well it sounds ethically opposed to this of all the things okay no no I I like I asked that question specifically because for me I like that but I let the bread cool down strictly because of the runniness so what if you like the meltiness of the peanut butter but to me the peanut butter when it melts right so peanut butter is uh I believe it’s like what partially hydrogenated oil a lot of the time and so the oil is going to be at room temperature very solid when it’s hot very liquid right and so the liquid starts to seep into the bread which to Me loses the essence of peanut butter which is that creamy mouth feel and then I call it peanut butter and then again it’s a matter of pressure yeah de Gustavus known as dispute I’m speaking in tongues there’s no disputing in matter of tastes so this is pure did I bring up ethics sure but um other than that and then the jelly the same thing it melts the sugars run sometimes you bite into it it spills over I like it yum thank you that was wonderful you should host the podcast yeah yeah another opinion right over there Mr she EK yeah you there’s no no back there right there right there you’re next you’re next you got next you’re next you’re next hey it’s better to share vegan food with people and not tell them it’s vegan first oh yes yes yes yes yes big time brother yeah like come over for pizza It’s Just Pizza and then it’s vegan pizza and they don’t know how do you feel about that I am a huge I am a huge robot I thought he was about to say it’s better to feed vegan’s non-vegan food and not tell them I was like no no no don’t do that everybody should [ __ ] he’s in your body yeah and I we so we we recently did an episode where uh we called it like catch the Imposter cook with Damian from Smosh but I made um what I was calling like a sort of vegan Carnitas which I know Carnitas means little meat so you can’t have vegan Carnitas yeah whatever uh but we like corn feed mushrooms and made them super crispy and they tasted like meat and we made just this super spicy salsa on it and if like you ate a bite of it you probably wouldn’t think it was made from animal product but you would think this is freaking delicious and I think one of the problems with like you said if you tell people it’s vegan food they think healthy that does not I assure you if I’m cooking vegan food it probably won’t be vegan does not equal healthy you can deep fry something and still make it cauliflower That’s not healthy Falafel is vegan and it’s just deep fried beans maybe it’s delicious and so I totally agree I think I agree it needs a bit it needs a Rebrand yeah you know feet drop the V word feed your non-vegan friends vegan food but don’t tell them it’s vegan all right I’d say put that on a t-shirt that’s a lot of that’s a big paragraph [Applause] Michelle say oh yeah Michelle it’s me Michelle um I believe that the best topping for popcorn is not butter but hot sauce that is an opinion I hate soggy popcorn oh so much I make popcorn at home to watch shows with my very loving husband and if it is wet I do not like I just can’t I can’t how often is it wet yeah sometimes I don’t know water spills and it Coke you know accident whatever whatever so if it’s too saturated in butter or oil it’s just you know it’s not fun what I like to do is a light Spritz of some sort of like spray oil and then I put like a like are you talking about Pam non-stick spray yeah are you just pamming down your popcorn I pan my popcorn one of it yeah and then and then I put like some sort of see sometimes I put tahin on it sometimes I put chipotle peppers sometimes I put like truffle dust if I want to be fancy but yeah that’s how I do it but I love the idea of a hot popcorn like spicy popcorn is just the wetness just turns me off like immediately you know what a food memory that I try and recapture in my life all the time is because it’s so strong is being in a public pool as a kid and you get out and you reach your hand into the bag of the communal Doritos communal Doritos yeah like everyone is reaching the bag might have even been next to the pool you might be reaching out in the pool yeah yeah yeah and there is at least a quarter because some of you look disgusted and I feel judged and attacked but there’s like a quarter cup of just pure chlorine in these Doritos and they’re the best Doritos you will ever taste of I love wet popcorn I will take hot sauce I do it with bags of chips I’ll just pour hot sauce in there and then shake it I like it lime juice yeah something like that I’m down with the wet popcorn did you choose to like dip it in like pickle juice or something oh no you’ll flick some jalapeno juice oh yeah you just flick it nice just a flick just to play all right who wants to go let’s go to this side let’s go to this side uh uh I have analysis paralysis Nicole you pick blue hat up in the air oh yeah that’s good dude knows how to get noticed at an auction [Music] hello hi howdy hi so I think bacon at its best is a crumbly thin slice of meat that’s like 50 fat if you’re gonna get bacon you might as well get a real meat to get the best bang for your cholesterol buck and dressing a proponent of thin crumbly bacon we call this condiment Theory yeah this is this is the theory that certain meats are only meant to act as condiments facts which bacon I think would be part of that and that’s something that I generally agree with I think thick cut bacon is was that a baby crying or somebody yelling no I think I think thick cut bacon is more often worse than thin cut bacon and people advertise like it’s a good thing like we’re Denny’s and we got the thickest bacon in our new bacon ape bacon copia brought to you by minions 3D dinner okay breakfast time I like the shattery crispy bacon in the morning but if I’m having bacon in the evening oh a little a little under the cover of night a little juicy I like it a little anxious I like it sexy time I like sexy floppy a little bit like bacon you know more than sexy bacon morning time hard as a rock Nicole and I had everybody uh um it’s like the snippy Snappy in the morning and then a little a little softer like throughout the day no matter what you say it’s gonna be hilarious after that sorry all right who else we got who else we got uh dude in the Hat up front yeah you can just get sick excited so I don’t think it’s a bad thing if I mix everything on my plate oh you’re a play mixer can we can we get can we give a brief example take a picture so let’s say I have maybe a salisbury steak some mashed potatoes and green beans with some gravy I’ll chop up my Salisbury steak put it in my mashed potatoes along with the green beans oh talk about efficiency okay I did shudder a little bit but I kind of I kind of like it that’s that you’ve seen me eat yeah I’ve been more than have you seen me eat more than anybody else on the planet yes wait no actually crunch the numbers in your head you have right I don’t know like a parent maybe I’ve seen you eat more not to get into my childhood but I think you’ve been around me more than my parents healthy I I he’s talking about treating every plate like a burrito bowl I was gonna say which I love do you okay so did you know that at Chipotle you can ask them to mix the stuff inside and then close up your burrito do you do that though no I don’t I don’t either I don’t either but you can ask them and they’ll do it but because for me a burrito or something like Chipotle it gets mixed up incidentally enough sure right what like you can violently wrap it even by yeah I mean honestly and then to throw it in a bag it’s like you know it’s going into your car you know you’re getting like a little fender bender you know and then like you said and then you’re like you know your license got suspended so you make a run for it and you got the burrito in your back pocket and that’s really hypothetically somebody’s what is the term active warrant mean I don’t know me neither I probably won’t worry are you raising your hand because you know where do you have an opinion or do you have an active warrant out um but no I’m saying incidentally it gets mixed up to the perfect degree and I think probably the degree that this young man’s talking about with his Salisbury steak you know good because I don’t think I don’t think you’re advocating like pureeing it you know no no no no no but yeah reasonable I want everything on the plate touching loving you know I know a lot of people have food sensitivities yeah some people like it I don’t like it and I get that but sure if you don’t have that sensitivity go for it mash it all up yeah and then you just take a piece of bread and you just go well the last one it’s got to be good yes yeah he’s been he’s been here from the beginning man we gotta get him go Logan go last opinion let’s see wow hello so my opinion is that so when I was a little kid my favorite snack after school was Trix yogurt and a stick of string cheese and I would dip the string cheese into the tricks yeah let him speak let them speak and I tried it recently and it was still as good I know for a fact was it a mozzarella cheese string cheese the mozzarella yeah okay I’m trying to find like a weigh-in you know what I mean okay first things first tricks yogurt yum uh Trixie yogurt is it’s like please the splitsies with the yes and the blue yes exactly except most of the time it just gets mixed and it’s like a weird gray yeah yeah it’s a perfectly mix it it turns like like Indigo gray if you could call it Indigo and then uh and then wait are you biting are you biting we have so many questions are you biting the string cheese or peeling it yeah I’m biting it okay so the perfect 30 minutes your string cheese biter yeah okay I’m also a KitKat biter as well what what happens how can one man turn a crowd against him he bites Kit Kats the goal in a world of the world the edges are perfectly light to be bitten you bite it yeah look at you being the biggest badass in the world that’s what I do I can see this being good I can see the string cheese and tricks yogurt being good you’ve had like goat cheese with cranberries on the outside this is the same flavor combination he’s working within an Epicurean framework yeah and also he’s a badass okay can I suggest something of course can you just peel okay do this peel all of the string cheese like spaghetti in the tricks yes yes and tell me how it is okay here she goes all right y’all that wraps up our first ever mythicon edition of a hot dog sandwich thank you for
