How far is too far when it comes to hot dogs? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) – Good, mythical morning. – You know the old saying, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. – Yep. – Well today, we reject that theorem because we’re taking an American classic, la hot dog and we’re twisting it into different dishes, which may or may not break a few crew member’s stomachs. – How far does the hot dog have to go before it crosses into the unpleasant zone? Or in a proverbial sense, how hard would you have to bend a hot dog wiener, before it breaks? – Ouch. – We’re about to find out. It’s time for tasting the limits of hot dogs. – Our goal is to find the limit, or better yet, taste the limit of a food that’s hard to pass up today, the hot dog. – The hot dog. (vibrating music) – The problem is we’ve tried everything from bugs to yak testicles, so to help us ascertain the true culinary limits of the hotdog, we’ve recruited some Mythical crew members whose pallets are a little less jaded and battle scarred than ours. – Jaded and battle scarred. That’s me and you, man. – Hey. – These crew members are gonna give us a better sense of what sorts of flavor experiences truly cross the line of acceptable for the average eater. Our Mythical panel members today are, hotdog expert to the stars, Matt Carney. (exclaiming) – [Rhett] Look at it. He looks so happy. – We also have Dave and Emily. – [David] Okay. – And David Hill. I’m sorry, but the other three, you get collective applause. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Carney had his own applause. – I will say though, David did say that he was dressed in the color of a hot dog. – Yeah. – Which none of us agree. Nicole and the Mythical kitcheneers will present our panel with a series of dishes, each one incorporating and highlighting the time-honored hot dog. And each dish is going to be designed to push palatable boundaries and increase in uniqueness as we go. – When somebody on the panel decides that they’ve had enough because the dish has pushed the limit too far and is thus inedible to them. They can tap out by hitting that buzzer. I wonder if the X’s are big enough (buzzing) in the show? (buzzing) Oh you guys are good at that. – Our job is to predict which panel member, or members are gonna tap out each round and we get one point for each correct guest and lose a point for each incorrect guests. – The loser between the two of us has to stick little smokies in every orifice in our head. – I think I might wanna lose. (whooshing sound) – Gentlemen, for you today, I have Carney Assata, hot dog tacos. So we have a marinated hot dog cut up into little pieces, cooked on a plancha with some cilantro and saboiya which is onion in Spanish. – Oh saboiya. – Cool. – Yeah, and then we have a Chipotle mustard crema, and a salsa Roja with ketchup. Enjoy. – Now, cilantro may be sort of a polarizing situation. – There’s a genetic component to that. That some people just can’t help but taste soap with it. – I’m not going to bite this yet, because I’m just going to inspect it and then I’m inspecting the faces of our panel to see what, how they’re processing the prospects of this. Because we have to start off by making a prediction of who’s gonna tap out early. – [Rhett] These are shaped, really, really nice edge. – [Link] I think his neck is just loose today. – But it is just a taco and we are in Los Angeles. – Okay, if I don’t check anybody, I need to fake like I’m checking people, so that it seems like I think someone’s gonna tap out. – Somebody doesn’t like cilantro. – And I’m hiding that, all right, well let’s enjoy. – Enjoy. – Panel go for it. If you want some of that Chipotle, don’t be shy, – [Rhett] I’ll mix a little bit of the salsas. – Hot dog and a taco. – This is like right down my alley. I gotta be honest with y’all. – Seems like it could be cheaper. Everybody’s biting. Is anybody going to X out? – David Hill looks scared. – [Link] I think he’s just in a zone. I don’t think he’s scared of anything. David, on the other hand is putting a lot of thought into- – Yeah. – Nicole, what kind of hot dogs are these? – Hebrew nationals. – Ooh. (David laughing) – Is that a problem? – No as a man, I mean are we just gonna go for this? – Yeah, let’s go for it. – [Man] As a man? (people laughing) – [Link] Go for it, man. – Hotdogs, Carney Assata, Hebrew national. I mean like this checks all the boxes. – There’s no stick though. – No stick one strike, but I and I don’t like onions either, but this is actually delicious. So I would order this again. – David. – I have to disagree and I have to type out right here. – Wow. (buzzing) – [Rhett] But what? – Yeah. – How? – It looks really good. It smells real good. It smells like those street tacos you went out of Hollywood bowl, you know? Those three tacos and then you take a bite of it. The texture’s just horrible in your mouth. (laughing) I don’t like that at all. – And he’s dressed like a hot dog. – I am, I expected more. – You tapped down around one with a peanut butter. – I did yeah. – Emily, what do you think? – It’s really good, I really like it. I like putting hot dogs in a lot of stuff. If you cut up hot dogs, put them in ramen it’s good too. So this is great. – We’re learning all kinds of things. – Okay, that’s good information. – Yeah, right she’s a hot dog lover. – She’s still in it. David Hill. – I thought this was amazing. Everything together, especially with the sauces. This is definitely cookout food, or stadium food at a ball game. Yeah, this is great. – Well, David’s come up with a business plan for it. – I like it. (contestants laughing) ‘Cause we immediately own the rights to that business right? – Right, yeah, yeah. – So keep it coming. Let’s see, what did you predict, sir? – I thought everyone would make it through this. – I didn’t, sorry. – What you thought David was gonna tap out? Man. Now what gave you that history man? – ‘Cause the peanut butter. – Well there’s no peanut butter on this. – He’s a round one tapper outer. – Okay, so I get a negative one because I did not guess. – And I get one point. (gentle bell ringing) – Here we go. (whooshing sound) – Gentlemen, for you, I have hot dog egg rolls. So we hollowed out a hot dog, put a bunch of veggies in there and then plugged it up and fried it. And then on the side, you guys have a sweet chili sauce with relish. Bon appetite. – I have to keep myself eating every single thing. This is just my life. – I know. – Just used to biting it. – I just see food and I eat it. Man, that’s appetizing. For me, okay I accept. I’m not a representative of the population. – I’m not appetized but I am intrigued. I can tell that we’ve got some squanchy faces, except from David, who seems very happy. – [Rhett] Yeah, Dave participates. – This does not look appetizing to me. – [Rhett] We have some poking and prodding by David Hill. Is that that legal? – Yeah, yeah. As long as you don’t eat it, you can poke it, prod it. – Yeah, you can touch it, you just can’t lick it. – I think Carney’s still looking for the stick. (everyone laughing) – I don’t understand. (everyone laughing) – We’ve got to make our predictions here. Emily’s keep it more of a poker face. (Emily laughing) – I’m just thinking about how I’m gonna eat this so I don’t become a meme. – I know in the past.. – Just go with it girl. David Hill has been – I’m gonna cut in. (Emily laughing) – David Hill has never not liked anything. I can’t really remember Emily’s performance in this. All right. – All right. We’re ready to go. You guys ready to eat? – Yeah. – Let’s take a dip and go for it. (chattering) – Nicole says I can’t cut it. – I’ll cover you, so you don’t become a meme. – Thank you, David. – What’s not to like? – The floppy meaty greasy consistency. – [Rhett] Yeah hot dog. – I think Carney’s going in for bite number two at least. Let’s start with David Hill this time. What’s your process? – I liked the sauce. The combination with the egg roll is pretty great. – [Man] Yeah. – Good, good taste, I love- – See he’s already just calling it an egg roll. He’s accepted it. – Yep, this is your new normal. – When it moves from weiner to egg roll, you have accepted the dish. – Emily. – I like it, I like how oily it is. My lips feel moisturized. (laughing) – Didn’t know where you’re going with that. – [Link] Okay Carney. – I think, the idea of hollowing out a hot dog and putting things into it. Inventiveness 10 out of 10. I think there’s a market for that. I think you can do a lot more than just egg rolls. This is great, this is a great drunk food, coming home late at night. Take it out of the fridge. Not know what you’re eating. Eat it and enjoy it. I’m into it, I like it. – No tap outs on this. – No tap outs. Is that what you predicted? – No, I did not. I thought that Carney was gonna take the fall off. – Oh Dang. I thought it was going to be Emily after her trepidation with even how they eat it. – Okay, so we’re both wrong. – I get it though. – Get another negative point. (buzzing) – I’m still in the lead though, I guess. (whooshing sound) – Quick reminder about Good Mythical Evening. (clicking fingers) You know the big show we’re doing?

(people laughing tentatively) I’m not immediately enthused. – [Link] Yeah. – Which says a lot. – This has given me pause. – Well.. – I mean, we’re pushing the limits. – Yeah, that’s the name of the episode. – You gotta go over the line. – Right. – You know where the line is. – Yeah, we’re increasing, yeah. – How am I? This ain’t the knife, I could. – I don’t think, can he hurt himself with this? – I don’t think so. I think he’ll be okay. – That kind of hurt. – So I made a cheese cake and I put hot dogs in it and then I made a whipped cream that has some hot dogs in it and then I put hot dogs on it. (laughing) – Wow. – Enjoy. – It sounds like quite the process. – [Link] Now, look at that. – [Rhett] So the hot dogs have made their way into the cheesecake, not just on it. – It kind of looks like loose Spam. – [Rhett] Yeah. – [Link] Someone’s gotta be tested. – I like hot dogs and I like cheesecake and I like crust. – Do not eat that. – Oh see, I can’t stop. – That’s not what’s happening. – I can’t stop. Well, you didn’t even cut yourself a slice. – We are voting. – You’re just gonna eat. – I’m just gonna eat some of that. – All right, they’re gonna be dropping like flies on this one. Carney can’t even look at it, or is he looking at it? – [Link] I think he’s only looking it. – I feel like it’s looking at me. (laughing) – I think one of these (indistinct whispering) I know David’s going to (indistinct whispering). – All right. I’ve made my prediction. – Okay. – But I wish I would have taken longer. I kind of wanna stall. – I’m getting some crust on the back here, because I feel like- – That will help. Let’s eat guys, dig in. Emily’s already got the can up. Mostly it just tastes like cheesecake and then.. – But a little bit like hot dogs. – It’s got a hot dog tinge. Carney’s still thinking. – That changes the game I think. – [Link] It’s not too late for an ex. No one has swallowed. – The crust is good. I don’t prefer it. – [Link] Okay Carney, what’s your assessment? – I was sure that I was, I’m an adventurous eater. I’ll try anything once, so I was I’ll try this. I’ll give it a shot, if I’m not gonna like it, I’ll leks out. I don’t mind it. It has not pushed the limit. – Yeah, it’s nice. – It’s sweet. It’s salty. I don’t know that I would order it again, but I would be polite and finish this. – It’s finishable. – It’s finishable. It’s not bad. – Not (indistinct) – It’s not my favorite. It’s not repulsive. – [Link] Emily. – I like it very much. (everyone laughing) I’m like, what is going on? It was so scary looking. It looks like every picture of a 1950s housewife who’s like, I put meat in a thing that doesn’t like, in jello and stuff. Why Betty Draper? But this is like, it feels like we need a cracker or something like a ham dip. – So no eggs from Emily. – Okay, wow. David Hill. – I did not love this, but I liked it. I recommend this for (laughing) a children’s menu. Children’s menu. – [Rhett] Children’s menu. – Children’s menu. – Children’s menu. – ‘Cause the topping, I love the sweetness. It balances out the saltiness of the hot dog. – But David, can you eat the whole thing? – Yeah. – Hot shot. – You know, mix it in there a little bit. – Well, now I feel like I’m missing out. (laughing) – It’s only a hot dog. – [Rhett] I don’t know if you are or not. – Hey, let’s see how we did. – They liked it more than I did. – I actually X’d Matt and Emily out of this one. I’m just losing hard. – Matt, I was thinking what you were thinking about yourself. – [Matt] Yeah. – So now that gives me another point lead. (buzzing) – Yeah, ’cause I got two more negative ones. (whooshing sound) – All right, everybody. We have honey nut weenie O’s. – [Link] Seriously? – Yeah, I made hot dog cereal. Isn’t that awesome? – Yes, I mean talk about over the line. – I want you to feel encouraged – Thank you. – This does strike me as a violation. I mean it’s.. – [Nicole] What do you mean? – Of what code? – Of cereal. – Yeah, ’cause it’s also like, it feels gummy. – Well yeah, it’s hotdogs. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Do we want to go ahead and soak? – Yes please and make sure to take a few sips of the milk too, enjoy. – Oh, you want some hot dog milk there. All right, you guys already poured over there. – Oh yeah, we’re milked. – Okay, oh, we got the, – I mean… – I can’t start this. – This is over. This is certainly over wherever the limit lies right? – I would think- – For all three of them? – I would think so. – You guys have been hanging tough. – You never know what the savoriness of a hot dog is gonna do when mixed with milk and turned into a gummy little wheel. – There’s no crunch. It’s gelatinous, I want to point out to you guys. Now okay, so you’re down by three points, but there’s a potential six point swing here. – A lot of things would have to go really, really wrong for me to win. (chuckling) – There’s no way. – All right, are you ready? – Even if you wanted it to work, I just don’t think it counts. – How many wheels are you gonna get in one bite? – Three and a lot of milk. So I’m asking for at least three from our panel. – A lot of milk, okay. – Oh gosh. – That is not great. – Texture is quite a battle. (exclaiming) Oh there she goes. Okay that has to be an X. That’s gotta be right? (buzzing) Of course. She has wretched an X. Carney, have you swallowed? – I haven’t put it in my mouth, nor will I put it in my mouth. (buzzing) – He’s out too. David Hill’s the only one left. He doesn’t seem like he’s having a good time. – These are, what do you call these? – Honey nut weenies O’s. – Maybe if it was like frosted mini weenies, I wouldn’t do it, but I’m not doing this. – Yeah frosted mini weenies, that’d be good. – Yeah, more sugar. It needs some crunch. Emily, how you feeling? – Why won’t it leave my mouth? It’s just sitting there this whole time. – It creates a film. – Yes a film. – [Rhett] David Hill’s having fun now. What’s the verdict? – Strictly kids this bowl right? (Rhett laughing) – You were once a kid. Would you have eaten this as a kid? Or were you never a kid? – Were you that kid at school who would chug hot dog water on a dare and like eat cicadas and stuff? – Not cicadas, but hot dog I did that. – Oh you did? – I did hot dog water one time. – So you’re not X-ing out. – You could still X out. – It’s all right with me, but.. – You like it? – There’s so much you could go with, I like what they’ve done with this. – [Link] Protein. – Yeah protein. – You got the fat, you got the salt, everything a kid needs. – I need a little bit more taste, but it’s, it gets the body good in the morning. – [Man] It’s the body good. – Put that on the box. – It gets the body good in the morning. (laughing) He’s not going to X out because… – I went, what I try to do is I try to do something completely off the wall to maybe potentially get points and I said that Matt and David would be the ones that X’d out. Emily would hold strong. I was exactly wrong. – You know what? I love you guys. I need you guys. And I know you guys. (gentle pinging) I nailed it. – My breath smells bad, too. – [Link] Yeah. – This is bad. – All right, so Rhett that means you’ve got to put little Smokies in every face orifice. – Yes. – Or head orifice a good mythical more. – Looking forward to it. – And we’ll get you guys some mouthwash and we’ll find some kids for you to feed David. (laughing) Because you seem to definitely be into that. – Thank you to our panel and thank you for subscribing and clicking that button. – You know what time it is. – My name’s Lisa.
