GMM 1303.3: Fried School Lunch Taste Test Ft. Harley Morenstein | TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING

You know what’s so crazy? Out of everything you guys have done, that’s the grossest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. ( music playing ) We are hanging out with our friend and certified tiebreaker, Epic Meal Time’s Harley Morenstein. – Yeah! – Right here. Guys, thank you. And you got your Super Snack Time Jerky coming out April 1st. – It is not a joke. – It is not an April Fool’s joke. – It is not a joke. – It is coming out on April 1st. It’s called Pizza in a Bag. And that makes it sound like it’s a lie ’cause it’s coming on April 1st. And that’s it right now. It’ll be available at Walmart. – Whoo! – Pizza in a Bag. Triangle bag. The triangle bag was a big deal, by the way. What is your world view on fried food? Fried food, as you guys know, is very important and dear to me. As it is in many ways my– my lifeline. It’s my livelihood. The question with fried food, though, is can too much of it, even though it’s a good thing, still be a good thing? It’s time for…. Okay, so we’re gonna be eating an entire four course meal but this ain’t a fancy meal. This is a fried school lunch. Yeah, school lunch gets a lot of flack for being unhealthy. So we thought why not make it even more unhealthy. – Lunch lady Tess. – You guys, right here. – Slap it. – What is on the menu? – Uh-oh. – Woman: Okay, name’s Maureen. Oh, Maureen. I’m sorry. – No problem. – That’s embarrassing. Your mom dropped this by the front office. – Is that a wallet? – So, I fixed it up. No, it’s a note. Enjoy it, little boy. – Is this a deep fried note? – Yeah. It’s a note from your mom. It’s a note– Oh, my God, I see it! There’s writing through there. – You guys want a piece of this? – Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanna eat and I wanna read it. Slowly! Wait, you’re breaking off the good parts. We gotta tear the note. This is greasy. Oh! Was I supposed to wait for you? I didn’t know you were supposed to eat the note, Harley but– – Mommy– – You’re not supposed to? I think you’re supposed to read the note. Ah! Oh! What does it say? Know, boo… – I don’t think we could even read that. – Loves you. – Something loves you. – Mommy loves you. – That’s a good first course– – Deep fried paper? – Pretty good. – It’s really not bad. Take a bite. This is the best paper I’ve ever had and we’ve had paper on this show at least a dozen times. I got you deep fried milk here. – What is your name, Josh? – Uh, Ran– Roy Randy. – Roy Randy. – Roid Randy? Yeah, you know, it’s a family name. I have a problem with a stranger coming out and blatantly lying to me and telling me to eat mystery food. – That’s not a lie. – What’s your name Roy– Last kid who accused me of lying, he got in trouble. – Look at this! – We had to deep fry some potato French fries for straws as butter cuts, you know. So, yeah. So this is chocolate milk carton. – Yeah. – And it’s deep fried. Is the chocolate milk inside fried in any way? – Or is it just– – No, it’s absorbed a lot of the oils, though, you know. It’s nutritious. It’s really spreading the calories. – This is the straw? – Sure is. – This is the straw. – And it’s a potato? Yes, it is. It’s a French fry. Can I snort a bit of the fried crisp – with this French fry straw? – Absolutely. – You can– – We see that in school lunchrooms across America. Whoa! Good Mythical morning! Hello! Whoo! Okay. I think there’s a hole in my straw. I’m getting a little bit of the– This is great, by the way! There’s not a– Not a thing wrong with this. This is really enjoyable. It’s really, really good. And a slight fattiness from the oil. – Mm-hmm. – I’m not complaining about it. I don’t even drink milk anymore. This is a deep fried apple because once again your vegetable is very important. – Yep, right. – And then we have a double fried tater tot with a side of ketchup. I know you’re wondering how you double fry. – Right? First you fry. – How do you double fry? First you fry and then you do it again. Okay. – So– – I like her. – Yeah, she’s great. – Link: She’s great. Should we eat the apple first or the tater tots? You know what they say? A deep fried apple a day, call the doctor immediately. – Yeah, okay. – Yes. – All right, here we go. – That’s what you wanted to do? You’re holding it there like you wanted to bump. – I’m glad you just– You went right into it. – Dinking it. Yeah, we bumped deep fried apples as they say these days. Oh, man. Look what– Mine’s different than yours. Look at that. Aren’t you concerned? I’ve never seen an apple look like that in my life. – Why does mine look like that? – Yours is bloody. What is going on? Yours looks so crazy. Did you poison my apple? Out of everything you guys have done, that’s the grossest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. That’s the grossest thing. What is wrong with that apple? It’s, like, got a smoke ring – almost like a smoked piece of meat. – Yeah. – That’s so strange. – I’m gonna continue eating it. You’re crazy. Now, have you ever seen a deep fried apple at, like, a state fair? ‘Cause they fry everything there but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen this. – This sucks. – ‘Cause it sucks. – It sucks really badly. – It’s really bad. – Why does it suck? – It just sucks and I hate the lunch lady now for even putting this in my mouth. – But– – And I really liked her before that. – Tess: Oh! – At least we have double fried– – Hey! Oh! – Double fried tater tots. – This is a redemption. – Well, hold on. You got– You gotta get the ketchup out. I’d recommend using your teeth. – Now I’m assuming– – Now there’s more of a reward – for opening it with your teeth. – Well, I’m assuming this – became toxic when it was deep fried. – Oh. And that’s a good thing. Did you guys lick your pack of ketchup? Not after what he said. Don’t listen to him. He’s just a– makes videos on the internet. That is a good point, Harley. Why have I ever listened to him? Okay. Of course this is good. Yeah, of course it’s good. This is easy. This is a good one. Get it out of here! We got some deep fried Lunchables and then we got some beer battered pizza that’s been left over in the alley. So just dropped that in a quick batter and then we got some deep fried pepperonis and– I love how they’re just separate from the– – From the pizza. – So you took the pepperonis off, fried them and then put them back on. – I respect that. – Thank you. – I respect that. – It’s the details. It’s the love that I show for you children. You know what? With deep fried food I’ve noticed you actually– you hit a wall out of nowhere. We’ll be, like, laughing, having a good time and then we’re just gonna get hit with this wall and we’re gonna be like, “Oh, my God!” – I haven’t hit it yet. – No, no. Are you starting with the pizza here? What are you guys doing? Let’s do it together. Let’s start with the pizza. Let’s dink and make sure you get a fried pepperoni on the edge here. – That crunch is satisfying. – Mmm. – Whoo! Whoo! – This is a creation. – This is real. – No, something about– Literally where the apple didn’t work because it was just fruit, this works ’cause it’s bread and cheese – and sauce– – Mmm-hmm. It all works for me. So we should put apples on the pizza. What is this thing from the Lunchable? Some things you don’t wanna know. Yeah, let’s just bit it. Oh, it’s a cookie! There’s a cookie in a Lunchable? Yeah, I’m not a Lunchable guy– It’s like a vanilla cream cookie. This has basically made the different compartments of the Lunchable just completely– – What’s this? – This must be a cracker. Irrelevant. Is it a pepperoni? Oh, this is like salami. This is a cracker. Cracker, salami, and then whatever this thing is – you gotta stack these three and then bite it. – That’s a cheese. Okay, I’m hitting a wall now. Look at that. – I think I just hit the wall. – Yeah, I’m feeling very lethargic. Very dejected. Lunchable is not working for me. Oh, I made a mistake. I thought it was the cracker but I used the dessert with the cheese and the pepperoni. – Did that work? – No, it didn’t work. – It sucks. – Oh. This dish is one of my husband’s personal favorites. – Starting to hurt. – ♪ This dish ♪ When he has a pipe that’s blocked, this’ll get it right going. It’s fried Jell-O. And then a hip replacement surgery, it’s a nice snack after that as well. Take this. I don’t wanna– I touched you with my shiny fingers. Fried Jell-O? I have definitely hit a fried wall. Look at that. I don’t know how you did that. The Jell-O helps a little bit but didn’t with all the fried part. It’s just weird ’cause it’s just like you have Jell-O and you’re also just having batter in your mouth at the same time. – Yeah. – Yeah. They’re not together at all. You took two unrelated bites and just happen to be Jell-O and batter. Well, this chocolate milk helps, but overall I think we need to reach a verdict here. Can you have too much of a good thing when it comes to fried food? Yes, and we have. I don’t know, though. I don’t know. – I mean– – For branding purposes you feel it’s a no. You gotta think about it. You gotta think about the context. You gotta think about the context. For your brand you definitely need to defend this. Fried food is very important. And also like, you know, if you don’t eat anything all day long and you’re desperate and starving… – Yeah. – then it could be pretty good. – It could be pretty good. – If you’re desperate. If you’re desperate this was worth it. All right, Harley, thanks for coming here.
