Today we determine the best breakfast biscuit. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) Good mythical morning. – Today we’ve got a brand new music video from a little show called Buddy System season two. Maybe you’ve heard of it. And, after that, we’re going to play a game based off a little show called the Bachelor. You probably never heard of it. – Right, but first we got a very important task at hand, ranking the ultimate fast-food breakfast biscuit. It’s time for Which Gluten is Most Highfalutin? – Okay, a couple of weeks ago the Washington Post did their own fast-food biscuit taste test to determine what they thought was the best biscuit. And, out of the six that they tasted, Bojangles, I’m glad they tasted it, but they only gave it a ranking of 2.25 out of a total of potentially five points. – Okay, and this is, we are personally offended by this, Washington Post. We don’t care about you and your bake news. – I just, that can’t be right. – Listen, we think that you should leave the tasting up to the tasting professionals. We’re not really professionals, but we have eaten a lot of biscuits and I had a lot of biscuits over the break. – Yeah, so what we’re gonna do is two things today. We are going to determine, while tasting six different biscuits of our own, what is the best biscuit. We’re gonna each rank ’em on a scale of one to 10, and then we’re gonna average that, and then rank them. But, we’re also gonna be competing against each other to see who can determine what biscuit we are tasting, what restaurant it came from, while blindfolded. The winner gets to eat the ultimate fast-food biscuit that has been created for the first time here on Good Mythical More. – Okay, we’re gonna be tasting biscuits from the following fast-food restaurants, Popeyes, KFC, Chick-fil-A, Mcdonalds, Carl’s Jr., aka Hardee’s, and Bojangles. – Now, we’re not saying that Bojangles is gonna win. That’s why we’re doing this thing. But, we’re gonna be unbiased, and we’re gonna decide. Let’s go. (blues music) As you can see, we can’t. – Every biscuit will be brought in on the patent pending Chicken Finger Hand. Let’s bring it in the first one. Let’s bring it in (stammering). – Let’s bring in the first one. – Bringing in the first one. – Biscuit, biscuit. Oh, I’m smelling biscuit, y’all. It’s a good day. – Man, I’ve never thought about how much I would want a biscuit served to me out of chicken finger hands. – First of all, I already know where this biscuit is from. I’m just gonna keep that to myself though. – It’s a good biscuit. – Crunchy on the outside, flaky on the inside. – It’s a solid biscuit. Now, I gotta say, the thing I’m trying to keep in mind is the fact that the Bojangles biscuit was shipped from North Carolina. – But they re-prepped it, hopefully. – They did, they did reheat it and everything, but as a slight disadvantage. But I’m trying to see if I can discern the shipping time in my taste buds. – I will say that this one is very buttery. It tastes very good. It’s missing something to make it the best biscuit ever. – This is not approaching a 10 for me. – To me, this feels like we’re doing something that pleases a lot of people. You know what I’m saying? A lot of people are pleased by this. – I’m in like the six area. – You know what, I was between five, six, and seven, I’m gonna land on a six as well. It’s a good, solid biscuit. – We agree on a six. Do you have your guess as to where this is from? – Yeah. – All right. – [Woman] Three, two, one. – Carl’s Jr. – Mcdonalds. – Mcdonalds is not that crispy on the outside. – Really? – No. – I thought Carl’s Jr. Was bigger biscuit than that. (blues music) – A bite of one biscuit won’t do, so bring in two. (audience laughing) (grunting) – This smells distinctly different. – It’s shaped different. – But it doesn’t distinct. – What? – Da-stink. It smells good. (audience laughing) That is super crispy. – I immediately know where this biscuit is from too. Man, I might be a biscuit genius. (audience laughing) This is a very good biscuit. It’s very distinct taste. – How many biscuits you been eating? And from so many different places. – More than I care to count, but it’s got a powderiness to it. Like I would describe the out-er coating– – Out-er coating? – The outer coating as powdery too. – Can I get another bite? – This has the makings of a biscuit that wasn’t made at the restaurant but that was made somewhere else and shipped to the restaurant. – No! – What? – Shipped to us, or shipped to the restaurant? – Shipped to the restaurant. – You don’t think it tastes fresh? – It tastes good, but it’s not a classic biscuit taste. It’s a weird, different other genre like parallel universe biscuit. – I feel like it’s got too much flour and not enough butter. – I’m gonna give it a– – I love the taste of it, but what are you giving it? – I’m gonna give it a four. – Man, I know what this is and I don’t wanna hate on it, but I’m also gonna give it a four. I’m ready to guess. – [Woman] Okay, here we go, three, two, one. – [Both] Chick-Fil-A. – No doubt. – Yeah, that’s a Chick-Fil-A biscuit. (blues music) – Okay, is it in here. – My favorite part is the search for the biscuit. (audience laughing) I should follow more meals with my nose. I should eat more meals blindfolded ’cause I think I would appreciate it more, you know. – I do know, and I also know that is a mushy biscuit. That biscuit would be good to sit on. – That’s a weird taste. – This biscuit is flavorless. This biscuit is mushy. This biscuit is, there’s not even butter in it. There’s no butter baked into this biscuit. – I think I might choke trying to eat it. – This is a horrible biscuit. – I think I might die just trying to eat the biscuit. – This is a heinous biscuit. – This biscuit is going to kill me, not in the long-term from multiple eatings, but from one sitting. I’m going to die from this biscuit. – I mean, I’m not gonna spit it out, but I’m gonna give it a one. – Well, I mean I’d finish it. – A one! – I mean I’d eat the whole thing if I was– – I gotta drink, man. – I’m gonna give it a three. It’s not horrible, it’s still a biscuit. – And I know exactly where it’s from, and I’m not apologizing for it. – Hold on, you know exactly where it’s from? – Exactly where it’s from. – Man, you might be a biscuit genius, or you might just be self-deluded. (audience laughing) – [Woman] Okay, let’s see, three, two, one. – Mcdonalds. – KFC. – You sure about that? – Yeah, man, I’m a genius when it comes to the biscuit. (blues music) (groaning) I’m getting something from the smell. – It’s rubbery! But I’m not gonna hold that against it. Isn’t that a rubbery biscuit? – Well, again, this could be miles of shipping. – Yeah, miles of shipping. – It tastes like it’s got something else in it like they put like an ingredient that isn’t in any other biscuit. It’s in this biscuit. – It’s almost like the fried chicken that they’re frying and putting Cajun seasoning on is in the air and then it settles on the biscuit, and then it was boxed, and shipped across America. Or maybe that’s just me. – Bring it back in. You think this is Bojangles? – And if it is, man. I’m in like three territory dude. I’m thinking this tastes like a three. But if it’s been shipped across America, maybe it was a 10 on the other side. (audience laughing) – I think you should double whatever, if you think it’s Bojangles, just for saving face we should double whatever our estimate is, because the points have to come off, you cross the Mississippi, you lose some points. – I don’t think I’ve ever– – You cross the continental divide, you lose some more points. – I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a biscuit from Mcdonalds. – You come in to California, you lose a lot of points, biscuit-wise. – But be honest, I mean, if you’re just ranking that on taste right now, what number are you giving it? – Three. – Yeah, I’m giving it a three. So, I think it’s Bojangles, so I’m giving it a six. (audience laughing) – I think it’s, I don’t think it’s Bojangles, and I’m gonna keep my three. – [Woman] Okay, what do you think it is? Three, two, one. – Hardee’s. – Bojangles. (blues music) I just wanna say, I’m not feeling good about what just happened. – No, yeah, I don’t feel good about anything ’cause– – I think that coulda been Popeyes. – I feel like we’re giving– – I’ll poop on Popeyes now. – We’re giving lots of low scores, but– – The standard is so high for a good biscuit. – All biscuits are good, that’s the thing I wanna establish. It’s not that I don’t like, I would eat all of these. Just, you know– – Even that one. – I’d sit alone in a closet with a dozen of these. Any one of ’em so far and just eat ’em, and if people knocked on the closet I’d be saying, go away, I’m eating my biscuits! With any of these. – I would murder a man who makes that stuff that a McMuffin’s made out of, what is that called? – An English muffin? – An English muffin. I’d murder an English muffin maker to eat the biscuit that I ranked as a number one. – Well, that’s like a person in England. – Well, that’s– – Why would you kill somebody in England over a tasty– – Well, I didn’t mean it, I take it back. – Bring it in. – I’m just making a point. – It’s so crunchy. – This has a good head on it. (audience laughing) – It’s not beer. – I just placed my nose on top of it, and I think that’s the biscuit head. Oh, wow, it’s big. – Big and fluffy. I love a fluffy fluffy. It’s not as buttery as the first one we tasted. But it’s just as fluffy, and it’s just as crunchy on the outside. – That’s fluffy. That’s fluffy, that’s big. It’s big and fluffy. What you got against big and fluffy? – Nothing, but there’s no buttery. Big, and fluffy, and buttery I gave a six. I gotta give this a five. – I’m giving this a seven. – I think a six is my new 10, by the way. – Okay. – [Woman] You ready to guess? – Yeah. – [Woman] Three, two, one. – Hardee’s. – Mcdonalds. – What, you think that’s Mcdonalds? – I don’t know anymore, I’m not a genius. – They make a biscuit that big at Mcdonalds? (blues music) – I started out so confident, now I’m flaking out, man. Bring it in. – Is that a pun? – Yes. (audience laughing) Okay. – This one smells like it’s been in a box with chicken. Oh, I know, it’s in chicken fingers, I keep forgetting. (audience laughing) – It’s a smaller biscuit. It’s a crunchy biscuit on the outside. Not getting a lot of butter. – I know what this one is. – This is an underwhelming biscuit. – It’s an average biscuit. It’s not bad. – This is a four for me. – This is a solid five for me. Very middle-of-the-road biscuit. – I’m ready to guess. – I’m not gonna, it’s not offensive to me, but I’m not gonna get excited about it. – Only got one left. – [Woman] All right, let’s guess. Three, two, one. – [Both] Popeyes. – All right– – I believe that’s Popeyes. – So what did we determine, first of all, was the best biscuit? – [Woman] Well, we have a little bit of a tie going on, and I don’t wanna leave it at a tie. I feel like we need to determine the number one biscuit, so you’ve ranked two of the biscuits with a score of 12. And so now we’re gonna bring in those two biscuits starting with one and then the other, and you’re gonna have to determine which one is better. – And we got to agree because we gotta come to a conclusion as a show here. – Okay, let’s taste the first one. The first finalist. There it is again, buttery. – It has a home-made taste to it. – This is a different, this is not the same biscuit I bit earlier because this is not crunchy on the outside. – It’s a little under-done, but isn’t that the way you like your biscuits? – That’s the way I order ’em that way. I want a light biscuit. That’s what I say to ’em. – Also it feels like maybe I become a little bit immune to butteriness. – I think that’s what has happened. This was not nearly as good as the first time I tasted it even though I like a soft biscuit. – Okay, let’s bring in the other one. Let’s see, let’s see. – Oh, is it here? – Oh, this is a better biscuit. Consistency-wise– – I got a burnt version of that one, which I don’t like. (audience laughing) But it’s still very soft on the inside. – Consistency-wise it’s a little bit different but I feel like the flavor profile is hitting in the right places. – There’s more surprises. – More surprises, that’s what I was thinking. – I agree. So we agree that that is the best biscuit ever made in breakfast fast-food, and I’m really nervous. I’m taking off my mask. – [woman] Yeah, take off your blindfold. I’m gonna hold the winner reveal because I’m gonna tell you guys how many you each got right in the guessing category. So, Link, you got two correct. (laughing) – Biscuit genius, my (grunting). – I flaked out, man. – [Woman] Rhett, you got four correct. (laughing) – Yeah, man, maybe I’m the biscuit genius. – [Woman] Here’s the best reveal of them all. You guys ranked Bojangles as the number one biscuit. – Yeah! – Oh we did! – Yeah! – We did! We did it! – Yeah, we did it! That’s right, ’cause it is the best, Washington no. – I did not know that was happening, but I’m so relieved that it did. All right, congratulations– – I’m biscuit genius and Bojangles is the best. I mean, the world is right. – I am so relieved. Make sure to stick around for Good Mythical More where we’re gonna take a look at the rest of the biscuit rankings, but, before that, stay tuned for a brand new music video from Buddy System season two, where we lock ourselves and a stranger’s child in a minivan. – [Link] We’ve signed a limited edition of our ear biscuits mason jar.
