A Korean dish and a Greek dish walked into a bar and made something delicious. – Let’s talk about that. (gentle upbeat music) Goooood Mythical Morning. – A portion of today’s episode is sponsored by ShipStation, but more on that later. – Have you ever found yourself in this scenario? You’re standing perfectly in between a Greek restaurant and a Korean restaurant hungry. Both look amazing, but you only have the stomach room for one. – How did you know? This exact scenario happens to me so regularly and it is so stressful. – But what if you could remove the choice between the two entirely by merging these two delicious restaurant cuisines together into one beautiful fusion baby? – No. – But not in a disappointing ghost kitchen kind of way. – No. – I’m talking in a damn! The Mythical Kitchen does a consistently amazing job kinda way. – All right, Link! Yeah, I’m down for that. – It’s time for, Greek Korean versus Korean Greek. Will The Vibes Be Just Meh Or Totally On Fleek? – Is on fleek still a thing? – I do not know. – [Stevie] Okay, this is how this is gonna go down. We put today’s Greek Korean versus Korean Greek match-ups on our Instagram and Twitter, and the Mythical Beasts voted on which they thought you’d like better. The Mythical Kitcheneers made those dishes and we’re gonna see how well the beasts can predict your tastes. – Woo. – [Stevie] The little beasties will get a point for each round the majority of them guessed correctly. If they get three or more points, you’ll have to write a celebratory acrostic poem for them in “Good Mythical More.” But if they don’t, we’ve carried over our punishment from the last time we played this game and the beasts will have to go to our Instagram and comment on a potato photo, “That’s a spud and I’m a dud.” And now let’s taste your first mashup. We have Greek salad Korean pancake versus kimchi spanakopita. – So what is in a Greek salad Korean pancake? – [Lily] A traditional Korean batter with tomatoes, onion, kalamata olives, and feta folded in. On top are julienne cucumbers. – Ooh, don’t get an olive, Link. – I really like Greek food. I just don’t like olives. Or cucumbers. – Don’t eat an olive. – Or tomatoes. – So you don’t like Greek food? – I like meatballs. I like hummus. I like tahini. I like meatballs. I like gyros. – That’s tasty. It’s not a whole lot to write home about, though. You know what I’m saying? – Yeah, I’m kind of just waiting to get over here to this. – I, how did you say what this was? – [Stevie] Spanakopita? – Okay. – [Stevie] I said it more confidently earlier and then now I’m questioning myself. – [Link] What’s in this that’s Korean? – [Rhett] Oh my gosh. – [Lily] Well, you have layers of filo dough, which are Greek, but you also have kimchi and melted mozzarella. – Oh, this is gonna be so good. I can already tell you. Oh! Whoa! Woo! Oh, I love that! – It’s good. – The filo dough, the cheese, and the kimchi together. I love all three of those things. I’m going in for another bite. – Yeah, the kimchi kind of slides in there and just gives it a nice little punch. – I mean, this is the no contest, Link. We know where the golden tongue’s going on this one. – It has to go over here. This is crazy good. – Yeah. That’s so good. – Mm-hmm. And we’re just saying what we like the best. They were voting to predict our response, not vice versa, right? – Yeah. Right. – [Stevie] Correct. – Okay, good. – [Stevie] 75% of the Mythical Beasts thought you would like the kimchi spanakopita better. – Yeah. – This should be a thing. I just, and you know, I feel so good about it that I almost feel bad that I’m the only one that gets to eat this besides this guy, you know? – Yeah, there’s two guys eating spanakopita. – I’m gonna mail it to you. I’ma mail it to you. (upbeat music) – [Stevie] Up next, we have Greek Korean fried chicken versus a bulgogi gyro. – Oh no. – Oh, this is gonna be tough! – This ain’t gonna be easy. – How do you make? – It’s not gonna be easy to taste both of these. – [Rhett] Greek Korean fried chicken. – [Lily] Yes, so this chicken has been brining for 24 hours in a lemony oregano mixture, then fried in a corn starch batter and tossed in a sticky Greek dressing sauce. Next to it, you have some pickled red onion to pair alongside to replace the traditional pickled Korean radish. – What? – I mean, sometimes things just happen. – I love it. – Sometimes wonderful things happen. – It’s an honor to be here for this. – Sometimes bad things happen, and then sometimes great things happen. That’s part of the universe. – Yeah. – And sometimes you just find yourself in the midst of one of the good things happening. That is happening right now. – It’s lemony. – Isn’t life wonderful? – It’s sweet, it’s crunchy, it’s chicken-y. And I never turn down a little pickled onion on the side. – I can’t really describe it to you, but you just did. – It looks so good and it tastes so good. – Now, bulgogi, which I didn’t know anything about bulgogi until I came to Los Angeles. – [Link] I’m gonna rip some of this off for myself and just give you that. – I’m about to say. – Look at that. – You left a lot of lettuce. – Hold on to the, whoop. Wow. Carrots are still falling. – This makes sense. You know what I’m saying? It’s the kind of thing that makes sense. – [Link] Bulgogi beef, and then what’s this dip? – [Lily] That is a gochujang tzaziki. It’s a little spicy. – Okay. Thanks for the warning. – I’m going in. I’m going in hard. (Link chews) – Oh yeah, that right there. That’s some spicy Korean sauces. My translation. – [Lily] Yes. Yeah. – To whatever you said. – Sometimes two good things happen in a row. They call that a streak. You know what I’m saying? You know, like I’m on a streak in life. Link, I don’t know what’s better. – Bulgogi in a freaking pita. I don’t know, dude. – I don’t know which one is better. – This is, I mean, you did a great job, Lily. I’m not, so don’t take this the wrong way, but this is kind of easy. – What? Hold? (crew laughs) – [Lily] Hey, you know, I actually made the flatbread myself, so. – Yeah, don’t, hey. – You made the flatbread? – It’s not easy. – [Lily] Yes. – You can’t even cook a fricking grilled cheese, man. – Oh, okay. Well, she made the flatbread herself. I didn’t know that. I’m sorry. I’m just saying that you said that this was like brined for 12 hours. – [Lily] 24. – 24. Twice. It’s twice brined. – I don’t know, man. – And that’s hard to do. – Both of these are hard to do. I know that much. I would never say that either one of them was easy. – I like this one a little bit better. – I like that one a little bit better too! – But this one is more unique. – Yep. I don’t care about that, though. This one, I mean, I do care about that, but this one, there’s something about the way this one is coming together in a way that it’s better than just a regular gyro. This is not in my mind as good as just a really amazing Korean fried chicken. That Korean fried chicken we had that was Josh’s favorite Korean fried chicken is better than this. This is better than the last gyro I had. Did you ever know that you’re my hero? – I didn’t. – Yeah. Well, you’re not. I just wanted to say that. – All right. I’m with you. I agree with the rationale and I already said it. I like this one a little bit better but I’m gonna keep eating this ’cause I’ll never have that again. – [Stevie] 63% of the Mythical Beasts thought you’d like the bulgogi gyros better. – Wow. You were right but it was close. – I would have gone for the chicken. Y’all are good. – And we are even better – Huh? What?

I know I wanna- – [Link] Lily, what’d you do here? I see that there’s some chicken kebab. There’s some- – [Lily] You have some beef and lamb kebab as well. – [Link] Oh my goodness. – [Lily] You’ll find some sizzling long grain rice seasoned with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and parsley. You also have some fresh sauteed veggies that are popular in Greek cuisine and some beautiful Greek baked beans. – Beautiful baked beans. – Now this is a fun bowl. Such a fun bowl. – It’s hot. (Rhett chews) – You know, this reminds me of when KFC decided to start doing bowls but they didn’t do it not so nearly this good. – You, okay. Just a little constructive criticism. – Yeah? – You’ve said two things today. The first thing is after this incredible meal came out- – I’ve said a lot of things. – You told Lily that it was easy. And then she presents this incredible dish. – Yeah? – And you say this reminds me of KFC. Everything, everything you say after that doesn’t matter ’cause that’s all she heard. – But- – This reminds. Look, look at- – [Lily] I’m a little offended. – Little offended! – You ever got a bowl from KFC? – [Lily] Yes, it is good. I will admit. – I’m just saying in principle. It’s a bowl. – [Lily] Yeah. Okay. – But I’m saying, I said this is so much better. – That’s like going- – And not easy to do. – It’s like going to an NBA game and being on the front row. – Yeah? – And then being like, “You know what this reminds me of? My kid’s Peewee league.” You know what I’m saying? It doesn’t, it’s a different thing. You know what I’m talking about? This is perfection. This ain’t some bowl from KFC. Fast food bowl. – It is a bowl, though. It’s good. – It’s so good. – I like it. It’s hawt. – It’s hot. – It’s very hawt. – And what about over here? How’d you do this? – [Lily] Well, we fried some eggplant slices with ssamjang- – Don’t make it sound so easy. (crew laughs) – [Lily] It wasn’t easy. None of it was easy. And layered them with a Korean braised potatoes, saucy black bean noodles, and a big fat layer of gochugaru bechamel. On top, you’ll find a popular Korean snack called Turtle Chips. – [Rhett] Turtle chips, not made from turtles. – [Lily] No. – [Link] Turtle Chips. I’m just gonna try a little Turtle Chips. – [Rhett] I got too big of a bite. I’m a big boy, but I’m not that big. – Gimme half of that. Now, when you say bechamel, is that like Zoe? – [Lily] Who’s Zoe? Oh, Deschanel? – Oh yeah. – Close enough. – It’s just like Zoe. – [Lily] She is not in that dish. – Hmm. Very umami. – This is more interesting. – I said that word. Very interesting. That bechamel. – You like that. – I like that. – I feel like bechamel changed when she married one of those “Property Brothers,” though. – Did she? What? She married a “Property Brother?” – You don’t know about this? – I never understood why those guys were so popular. – Well, because of Zoe Deschanel. Hey, we might have ’em on the show at some point, so just chill out. – [Link] Well, then I’ll ask ’em. – Okay. – I mean, I guess I’m making enemies right and left, but it is my show. – Yeah. But like- – Lily, you’re doing a great job. – [Lily] Thank you. – You know, we want people to watch the show. – I mean, I was just saying that when you put, when you’re putting something in a wrap, like well, it’s easily understood. This is complex. – Oh, easily understood. – And that’s a bowl. – It didn’t seem like you were saying it was easily understood. You seemed like you were saying it was easily executed. – I was implying the word understood. – Listen, when the “Property Brothers”- – That’s what I meant. It’s easily understood. – When the “Property Brothers” go into a home, one of ’em, I don’t know which one, has gotta figure out what it’s gonna look like. The other one’s gotta sell it. Which one of those is easy, huh? Huh, Neal? Which one’s easier? Building or selling? – [Stevie] I mean, I don’t, I haven’t watched really, but I don’t think that’s true. – You don’t know how the show works? – I don’t think that’s how it works either. – [Stevie] I dunno. You know what? When they come on the show, we’ll get into it. – We’ll ask them what they do. – What part does Zoe play, though? – [Stevie] Yeah. Yeah. – She goes into the foyer and sings a cute little folk song? – Yeah. Now you, I think you’re gonna wanna move that. – Yeah, I wanna move it over here. – Okay. And I agree with that. – [Stevie] I don’t know if that is true. – And then I’m gonna wanna move it back only so you can move it back. – I don’t know the game that you’re playing. – I just wanna let you know that I agree with you but I know you like to move things back. – I don’t, actually. You got me and the “Property Brothers” wrong. You got us all mixed up. – [Stevie] So we’re, we’re staying here. – Oh yeah. We were always gonna be. – How does the “Property Brothers” work, Stevie? – [Stevie] No. No. I think you’re right but a lot of us learned a lesson today. I mean, about how the “Property Brothers” works. – Yeah. – One of ’em builds and one of ’em sells. – [Stevie] Yeah. Yeah. – I think I’ve been trying- – [Stevie] I thought one was the designer? – I taught a lot of lessons. – One of ’ems got flannel. – I haven’t been taught any lessons. – One of ’em got flannel and one of ’ems got tie. – [Stevie] Which one is Zoe’s? – The one with the mustache. – I think she probably is with the one that like uses a hammer. – Not the beard. – He’s like her little lumberjack. (crew laughs) – I think this is gonna be a tough one for the Mythical Beast. – Yeah. – [Stevie] 73% of the Mythical Beasts thought that you’d like the kebab bibimbap. – And we did. – It was great. – But this right here, it’s, well- – I love that bowl. – It’s complex. It’s hard to understand. – It’s got Turtle Chips on it. – And it’s got Turtle Chips on it. So you’re still doing good, though. (upbeat music) – [Stevie] Okay, lastly you have baklava dalgona candy versus red bean rice cake baklava. – Dang, we got baklava two ways. Now, I understand this cultural reference. “Squid Game” cookies, right Lily? – [Lily] Yes. – This one there has a star on it. – [Lily] “Squid Game.” – This one has a circle. – Link, what if I told you- – That one has an umbrella. – What if I told you- – [Link] Tell me. – That one of the things that happened in “Squid Game” is people were given cookies like this and they had to take out the shapes of the cookies without breaking it, and if they didn’t do it they were killed on the spot. Ha ha ha! What a show! – And did they show people get killed? – Oh yeah, they did. – That’s why I didn’t watch it. I was a little scared. – And it depended on what shape you chose. Like if you got the umbrella, you were screwed. – And you would use these? – Here, like this, like this. (cookie scrapes) There’s an American version coming. It’s gonna be worse. – Oh, I guess I already died. – [Lily] You died. – Yeah, we both did, actually. – And how would they have killed me? – Lots of different ways. – [Lily] Yeah, there’s a lot of different ways. – Oh, really? – [Lily] Yeah. – Name one. – [Lily] Gun. – Yeah, right. – [Lily] Shooting. – Okay. Oh, man. That tastes like peanut brittle where we come from. – [Stevie] Can, I know that we were talking about “Squid Game,” but Lily, how did you make these things? – Oh! It was easy. – I forgot to ask, Stevie. – [Lily] It was a little bit of a janky setup. I used a open flame and I took a ladle and added sugar to it. And then I stirred in baking soda and then it puffs up, giving it that airy texture. And then I folded in some pistachios and cinnamon, and brushed it with some rose syrup. – Oh, so basically what they do at KFC? – [Lily] Yes, exactly. – Okay. You could have just said that. – [Lily] Yeah. – Come on, guys. – That is so good. I like peanut brittle but this is better than peanut brittle because it’s easier to eat. It doesn’t, it’s not impossible to chew, you know? – I can taste the work. Well, something just flew outta my mouth. I can taste the work that you put in there. – [Lily] Thanks, Link. – But I didn’t like it. I mean, I just- – I really liked it. – Boy, this is not a good showing for me. – I like pistachios and I like rose flavors things. Rose flavors things. Now tell me about this fancy baklava. – [Link] This looks good. – [Lily] So this is giving you the best of both worlds of chewy and crunchy. You’ll find layers of filo dough, red bean paste, and Korean yaksik on top, and in between is a persimmon syrup to give this pastry a beautiful sticky glaze. – I love red bean flavored stuff too. Man. – This is great. This is so easy to love. – [Stevie] I will say this is a real tight one for the Mythical Beasts. – Not for me, though. I’m not a, I’m not a peanut brittle and get killed if you break a cookie kind of guy. But this? This, it’s great. There’s pine nuts in it? – [Lily] Yes. – That’s interesting. – I think this is better. But if you actively dislike it. – Yeah. – Then we have to vote for that ’cause I like both of them. – It really stuck in my teeth too. – Yeah, that’s the part I like. You keep tasting it. – So Rhett likes both of ’em. I like this one. So we’re just gonna vote for this one and hope that you’re with us. – [Stevie] 53% of the Mythical Beasts thought that you’d like the baklava dalgona candy better. – Hmm. – Which was this one. – Yep. – [Stevie] Yeah. – So you were wrong. – Man, y’all don’t get you a poem. – But you know what you do get? You get a punishment. “That’s the stud and I’m a dud” on Instagram. – That’s a spud. Oh, you said stud. – That’s a spud. Yeah, there’s no T. – When you say stud, are you talking about a horse that breeds or are you talking about- – Yeah, we’re gonna have a horse. – Cool dude. – We’re gonna have a breeding horse in the photo with the potato. – Yeah, y’all do that? Two horses having sex on Instagram and make people comment under that. – That’s a stud, I’m a dud. Or maybe we’ll just stick with the potato. – Throw one of the “Property Brothers” in there too. (crew laughs) Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – Hi, I’m Mila. – And I’m a Alexis. – [Both] And we’re from Havertown, Pennsylvania, and we drew pictures watching Rhett and Link with our family. And it’s time to spin the wheel of mythicality. – What do you think? It looks pretty easy? – Easy. That’s a little easy, girls. Step it up. – I thought it was wonderful and complex. Click the top link to watch us try the divisive Starbucks Olive Oil latte in “Good Mythical More.” – And to find out where the wheel of mythicality is gonna land. – I try to say, you know, everything is important because everything goes in the sauce. – Yeah. – Even the single bay leaf is important. (Padma laughs) I’m just saying!
