GMM 1735: Pop-Tarts Restaurant Taste Test

Would you pop into a Pop-Tarts restaurant? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat techno music) – Good Mythical Morning. – Pop-Tarts. Frosted little nostalgia bombs that at first bite take me right back to my childhood. When YouTube hadn’t yet been invented, dinosaurs roamed freely among us, and I couldn’t wait for my adult chin to grow out. (Link chuckles) Still waitin’. – But what if there was a place where Pop-Tarts were more than just a sugary breakfast? Or a quick snack? What if an entire chef-driven Pop-Tarts restaurant could be a thing? And perhaps more importantly, should it be a thing? It’s time for… (soft jazz plays) Restaurant possible? [Link Voiceover] Pop-Tarts edition. – Welcome to the gastro pop. May I take your order? Is something I would say if I worked here but I don’t I’m just here to eat. – Right, as you can see, the Mythical Crew has actually built the first ever Pop-Tarts restaurant. Looks amazing guys. And with the help of Mythical chef Josh and the Kitcheneers, we are going to eat out way through a four-course Pop-Tarts Menu. Pretty exciting. – And if we have any ideas along the way we’re going to, uh, drop them into this poppin’ off box. – Yeah, cause this is still in development we can, we can help make this restaurant a success. – Suggestions. Yes. – All right. In the in we’re gonna decide if a Pop-Tarts restaurant is in fact, restaurant possible or restaurant not possible. – Yeah. – And Pop-Tarts, if you like what you see, (whispers) call us. – All right, so this is basically the opposite of if we were to do wheel of Pop-Tart. Because instead of taking a bunch of dishes and making them look like Pop-Tarts, this is taking the magic of Pop-Tarts, and they are magic, and infusing that experience into every course of a meal. – Let’s get poppin’ (soft jazz plays) – All right looks like we’re beginning our soft launch with a little appa-tizer cocktail. – Yeah, we have ordered a Pop-Tarts mule that is a s’more Pop-Tart infused, vodka, ginger beer and lime adult drink. – Not for the kids. – Served with Pop-Tarts garnish. – It’s tempting for the children because it’s got s’mores Pop-Tarts in it and on it but they can’t have it! – This is an actual, circulated or circularfied – Circulated, I’ve never heard that verb quite like that. – Mm, put that in there. (slurps) (laughter off camera) – That’s very sweet. – Oh, that’s good. – Oooooh. – Yeah it is good. I think we’re gonna be saying that’s very sweet. – All right, lets take the whole thing down. Let’s take the whole thing down. – Three, two, no okay we won’t do that. – Oh, it’s cold too. – And we’ve also got momma’s Pop-Tarts mozzarella sticks. Uh, we’ve got blueberry Pop-Tart breaded mozzarella sticks with uh, I have raspberry marinara and so the raspberry Pop-Tarts made this marinara. And then you’ve got cupcake confetti Pop-Tart ranch on your side. – All right, I’m gonna get some, I’m gonna get some uh, some of that ranch. – Some blueberry. – You can, you can see. I don’t know if you can see it on camera. But, you can see the little blue the pale blue dots. – Streaks [Link] in the, in the cheese. [Rhett] Aw there you go, when you open it up you can really see it. – Ew, that’s also sweet. All right so you got the that breading it’s got quite a – I taste the blueberries. – Quite a happy kick. – But, I guess that’s the idea. (laughing off camera) (Rhett grunting) – I mean, yah, yah bring your kids to this restaurant and you’re gonna rurn ’em. [Rhett] -Mmmm [Link] – You know what I’m sayin’. – It’s kinda strong. [Link] -I really, really like it though. [Rhett] – I’ve got my first suggestion. – Which is? – I kind of wish I was sitting across from you. (lots of laughter off camera) – Yeah this is – I wish they had two sided booths, so. – I mean if you were sitting right there, with your back to the camera the whole time. – Yeah – That’d be fine with me. Cause I would be like having to peak around – Two sided booths, my first request. – Um, t-t-tell ’em I also like that the table looks like Pop-Tarts. (Rhett repeating link as he writes) – Which is very thoughtful. But also tell ’em, that I don’t think that the urinal cakes in the restroom should be Pop-Tarts. Because I’m too tempted to eat them. – Ah, too late. You’ll have to tell them next time. – I’m lovin’ both of these though. Let’s move on to the next course. (soft jazz playing) – Before us we have the Pop-Tarts taco trio. Which looks absolutely amazing. And they’ve been infused with specific Pop-Tarts throughout every part of the taco. – Even the tortilla. – Yeah. – So we got al pastor. Which is a cherry Pop-Tart tortilla. And then salsa roja on the uh, pork which has been infused with cherries as well. We’ve got carne asada, which comes with a hot fudge tortilla and then mole that has the hot fudge built into it. – Oh yeah, that chocolate with the carne asada. – Then the chorizo, which has a brown sugar cinnamon tortilla and then also has the brown sugar cinnamon in the chorizo. And then some salsa seca. – Oh my goodness. Okay. We gotta get a little bite of each of these. – I’m gonna do a little, little lime-age on this. – For starters. – I’m gonna go with the uh, cherry tortilla salsa roja al pastor. – Not immediately sweet, but immediately spicy. – Yeah this ones good ’cause it’s got a little kick to it, – Mmmmm!! – and it balances out. – You need to be kicked in the face. When somebody’s being real sweet to you all the time. – They need to like, [Link] – mmm! do something nasty to you every once and a while. – Oooh! [Rhett] – Just so it all balances out. (slurps) – I got, mmmm, that is some tasty taco. (laughter off camera) – Uhm, moving on to the. – Aw, I’ve already go it all over my menu. Sorry menu. [Link] – The hot fudge carne asada. Yeah you got that chocolatey mole type sensation. – Oh man. Mole’s one of my favorite things. And uh… – The chocolate hits. (snaps) – I think this may have been and improvement on it. You know it’d be nice to have a waiter come and say mean things to us as well. Cause I-I-I am kinda overwhelmed with the sweetness. What is that restaurant you go to – all the waiters are jerks to you? – Dicks – Dicks – No sorry, that’s sporting goods. – That’s sporting goods. – But it would work, right? – What is it, what are y’all saying? (mumbling off camera) – What? [Man off Camera] – Dick’s Last Resort – Dick’s Last Resort – Oh it is Dick’s! [Link] – These are amazing Josh. Great work. Uhm. [Rhett] – Who’s Josh? – I haven’t even gotten to the chorizo with the, with the with the cinnamon sugar. – I mean, we’re havin’ such a good time that it’s kind of like just watchin’ two guys eat at a restaurant and not say anything about what they’re experiencing because it’s so good. Um. – I’ll tell yah right now. This one has the most Pop-Tarty sweetness. Cause of the cinnamon and the sugar. – My favorite was the one with a little bit of spice. I gotta say that the sweetness is building and I’m beginning to think I don’t know if I could take uh, the sweetness so I’m gonna make a suggestion that someone come and be an (bleep) to me. – Can you just add that I wanna have, just some real Pop-Tarts that I can crumble up and sprinkle over everything. Or just occasional just eat a real Pop-Tart. – You want more Pop-Tarts? – I just want more Pop-Tarts. (laughter off screen) – Can you also add – But those are two, I feel like we need to do different cards for that. Can you be mean to me? – I think, hey! Don’t use a different card, you jerk! – Thank you. (soft jazz plays) – Okay, so you gotta have something for healthy eaters. And at the gastro pop this is as healthy as it gets. [Link] – This is the Pop-Tarts crispy fried chicken salad with wild berry vinaigrette! Okay, so we’ve got this crispy chicken which is battered with pretzel cinnamon sugar Pop-Tarts. [Rhett] -ooh oooh oooh. – Which is a pretty new Pop-Tart they got out there. And, we got these croutons which are brown cinnamon sugar bites. Which is another thing I didn’t know Pop-Tarts had. – We just eat it with our hands. – Uh, no look at this. You get yourself a utensil. You wanna get one here. – Oh, that’s smart it’s in a toaster. (metal clanking) – Grab it. Now I’d like for you to go ahead and make a suggestion that this is a really good idea. – That’s not a suggestion, – Oh my gosh, I’m breaking it. – that’s just a compliment. – We love the fact that you’ve got silverware in toasters. – Teaching children to do this. It’s plugged in, make sure it’s on. – Big hearts on that one. – You want a knife? – Teach the kids, toaster utensils, big thumbs up. – It’s dangerous in so many ways as it turns out. – Ten outta ten. – Do not rethink that detail. – Now I’m very interested in this pretzel cinnamon sugar batter. – Well it’s good to be interested in things, Link. – I know it’s a salad but I’m just gonna eat the chicken on my first bite. – You just going chicken, chicken boy first? – That’s actually not sweet enough. I have this expectation that everything at the Pop-Tarts restaurant needs to be really sweet – No, no – Of course if you combine it with a crouton – You don’t want, I eh, my only problem so far is how sweet everything is. – Too sweet it is? You’re kids are gonna be disappointed that’s all I’m sayin’. [Rhett] – Um. – I just ate the whole thing. Oh. That’s good. Fully toasted, mmm. Speaking of which, I think you should also suggest there should be a separate section for people who don’t like their Pop-Tarts toasted. – Like a non-smoking section. – Yeah, non-toasted section. – Mmmm, should it be bigger or smaller? Because a non-smoking- They don’t do that at restaurants anymore. – Yeah. – I miss the smoking section. (chuckles) [Link] – What’s wrong with you. Okay And just to say I ate some salad I’m gonna do that. Hey Mom, I ate some salad. Get off my back. – Uh. – Those bites are amazing. The chickens amazing. The toasters amazing. – You’re havin’ a great time. You’re a sweet guy. Um. – You don’t like it? – I’m a savory man and, I- this is- I’m wearin’ a little thin. I’m just wearin’ a little thin. I just feel like I need like, some just like, raw sand or dirt to just put on my mouth at this point. – Do we have any of that? (smooth jazz playing) – We have in fact ordered for dessert, Pop-Tart’s gooey strawberry molten lava cake. [Rhett] – Now this isn’t what you would typically expect from a molten lava cake cause we got white cake with strawberry crust, strawberry filling and Pop-Tarts icing and sprinkles on top. [Link]- Ooooooooooooooh. It’s it’s behaving just like uh [Rhett] – oh, look at, oh that’s molten. Oh that’s so molten. [Link] – like a pierced Pop-Tart. That is [Rhett] – I kinda don’t want, (mumbling) somebody broke the dam, I kinda wanted to go back in there. – Oh you can (mumbling) [Rhett] – Get it, get it. Come on son get in there. [Link]- You can scoop it, you can scoop it. Oh yeah. – Now I think this is, this is gonna work for me because Pop-Tart’s are a dessert guys. Right? I mean and a healthy breakfast. (laughing off camera) – Mm mmm – This begins to, this begins to make sense to me. [Link] – mmm hmmm Everything has made sense to me. [Rhett] – Aw, that’s like a strawberry shortcake. [Link] – Especially those tacos. They were unforgettably amazing. This is- – Aw this is, this is real good. [Link] – This is, this is a great alternate version of a Pop-Tart. Aw man – I do have a suggestion. – That is rich. – I would like some table-side toasting. – Oh yeah? – Just some- – Like a (torch fire sound) – Personal toasting. – Oh like, here’s to you for being here. – Yeah, right. [Link] – Oh, okay. Can you also add, I don’t think that the toilets should be toasters because I don’t know what slot to go in. – Okay, The smallest one for you. – Wow. I don’t know if that was an insult or not. But I guess it was. I really don’t use the toilet the way that you seem to be implying. (off screen laughter) – Well you should try it. (laughing menacingly) – Okay. – Sorry, what I’m saying is don’t go to the bathroom – They’re gonna kick you out of this pop tarts restaurant. – Uh, okay. So I think this may have redeemed it for me. It got a little bit sweet but when it all came together in dessert form it made sense in my mind. – I was on board all the way. Don’t forget about the tacos Rhett. They were absolutely amazing. – I remember the tacos. – This entire experience to me is something that I want to take my family friends, all types of visitors. Come on out to LA. I know where I’m gonna take yah. – To this desk. (lauging) So what do we think of Pop-Tart’s restaurant?
