GMM 1310.2: Vending Machine Tacos Taste Test

You want to know what I really think? – Please? – Please? ( theme music playing ) You know, our Mythical chefs Josh and Tess whip up a lot of good food in our kitchen, but they also punish us by making horrible, terrible, disgusting, gross things that we have to eat. Yeah, so we decided to give them a fun challenge. We have asked them to make a meal using only snacks acquired from vending machines. Now, we allow them to use flour, water, and olive oil, but other than that, only vending machine snacks. They accepted our challenge. Let’s see how they did. Cooking for Rhett and Link is really easy because they’ve eaten so much pig anus and fertilized duck embryos and things, – Yeah. – that, like, anything we serve them… – Donkey balls. – …is gonna be better than donkey balls. Ooh, gentlemen’s club. Like, they could have vending machines. I’m uncomfortable with naked people being around my food. – Moonlight Rollerway? – Moonlight Rollerway, baby. ( singsongy ) There’s vending machines! We gotta get at least two of those. And we can find a way to stick the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to the Choco Taco – so we can make a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto Choco Taco. – Choco Taco. Oh, yeah, no, the bathroom stalls are locked. I had to crawl underneath. Um… I think so, too. Yep. Josh: ♪ On streets in downtown Burbank. ♪ Josh, no, Takis. Veggie straws and the Takis for sure. I feel like people respect a man who has a bunch of snacks in his hand. This is like a sweet walking montage. Just like a man about town with a bucket full of garbage stuff. ♪ Makin’ snacks from vending machines. ♪ I’m leaning so hard taco. I see those Guacachips. We just put those in a blender with some ice cold water, call it guacamole. Tess: I think our viable options are guacamole, vegetables, salsa verde. – Are we doing taco? – I think we are, dude. – We’re doing taco. – We’re doing taco. ( music playing ) We rinsed all the marshmallow off the Rice Krispies and now it’s just a beautiful, perfect plate of steamed rice. I’m gonna add a little bit of water to this to get it into, like, a paste consistency. What I’m gonna do is try to get it to roll flat. Yahoo! So we’re gonna be cooking the Rice Krispies risotto style, right? Typically it’s an Arborio rice, that’s a real fat grain, which means that it’s gonna have a lot of starch on the outside but still retain, like, a real kernel. So what we’re using today is a bunch of Rice Krispy Treats that have been soaked in water. I’m just gonna take the chocolate off of the Reese’s Cup to add it to the mole. ( groans ) I wish I was proud of this, dude. It’s been our motto since day one: at least it’s not pig anus. This is true. Mm, you made it sound so good. There is no pig anus in it. Okay, so this is it, huh? – So– okay… – What is this? …so what’s the name of this dish? I pass to you. Um, I’d say the Plastic Taco. – I don’t know. – So, it’s a salsa verde and shortbread tortilla with arroz con papas and a Ferrero mole. There’s a guacamole, which is guacamole chips and water, and then there is Cheeto de gallo, which is a little bit of reduced San Pellegrino lemony water deliciousness into chopped-up Funions, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and Veggie Straws. – Wow. – Yeah, there’s a lot of acid in that. Wow, first of all, this is amazing, what you’ve done. Isn’t it crazy? So you’ve done an amazing thing. – You haven’t tasted it yet. – It looks amazing. You’ve created something amazing, but… It looks and sounds really impressive. I think it’s gonna taste really salty. – Here we go. – It’s so soft. Both: Dink it, sink it. – Mm. – ( laughter ) You want to know what I really think? – Please? – Please, it’s… It’s tough to get down. – It’s so gross. – Yeah. Tougher than pig anus, or less tough? – Way less tough. – It’s easier than pig anus. It’s like you ate everything in a vending machine and then regurgitated it onto a taco. – That was our first plan. – You know what? It gets better, though. The initial taste was like– my mouth didn’t know what to do. – Mm-hmm. – Keep chewing it, though. Is it not happening to you? Is the magic not happening to you? The shell is magically great. – I’m so happy. – You’re shaking. Is that–? You’re trying to get yourself through? Yeah, it’s like I’m not having a good time here. Your body wants to reject this as nutrition. – A for effort. – Yeah, thank you. You know what? A+ for effort, A+ for style. – Thank you. – A+ for teamwork. – What is this–? – F for taste. – Yeah. – Well, you know. It’s ’cause everything had so much sugar in it. That was our biggest problem. We couldn’t find stuff without sugar. The sweet– there’s a sweet-sour thing. What was that? That’s the reduced San Pellegrino. That would’ve been the San Pellegrino, which I thought was the most successful part of the dish. No, that made it horrible. It had a lot of acid in it, though, which is what we needed. You accepted the challenge and you rose to the occasion. I stand by this dish. I think we stand by this dish. – Yeah. – You can also sit by it. Thanks, Josh and Tess.
