What happens when you eat Olive Garden while driving? – Let’s talk about that ((Intro Music)) – Good Mythical Morning. – Sometimes when I’m on the road, I want a good, hearty meal. But I also got to keep trucking. I’m not a trucker, and I’m also not a painter, but I am a dad who likes to take road trips. – I’m a dad who likes to eat while trucking, too, and I resent being limited to drive thru foods you can eat with only one hand. – Us truckers. We want the experience of eating a sit down dinner on the go. – And we want Italian. – Yes, we do. Let’s see if we can make this work. It’s time for Mind If We Drive-Thru? Olive Garden Edition. ((Music)) – Welcome to the Mythical Coupe du Jour. – It’s a white car. It’s got a couple of steering wheel. We want to find out if Olive Garden, stop. Don’t steer. We’re not moving. We want to find out if Olive Garden should have a drive-thru by eating their food while driving. – Yes. Both of us will be driving. – I’m going to crank it up. – I’m going to crank up my side. – Got to crank up both sides of the engine. – Yes. – Okay, let’s go to that drive-thru. – Okay. Oh, oh. – Hey! – Oh, Garden’s got a drive-thru. – Welcome to the Olive Garden drive-thru. – Thanks for having us. – [Lily] Yeah, thank you for coming. – Nonsmoking? – Nonsmoking. If you want to smoke, you can in your car. – Okay, we won’t. We won’t, I think, I think it might go up in flames. – I have some appetizers for you. – Oh, yeah. – I have a Strawberry Passionfruit Limonata, and a Diet Coke for Rhett. – Oh, beverages are appetizers. – Did you call ahead and put our order in? – Yeah. Yeah. I guess I did. We got some cup holders here. – This is exactly what I would have ordered. Oh, we’re littering. – No, that’s the back seat. – Oh, okay. All right. We’ll, clean it up later. – So, what’s in here? – You have a minestrone soup for you, Link and for Rhett you have some breadsticks with all of the dipping sauces. – Oh, you got a soup? – How many? – Good thing you’re wearing white. – [Lily] Those are dipping sauces. – [Link] Oh, this is dipping. – [Rhett] Both of them are? – You got three in there. – Yeah. Yeah. You haven’t got your soup yet, man. Can you put my dipping sauces on the dash? Thank you. – Oh, this is my soup. – And my breadsticks. – All right. This is going to be. – There’s a spoon. I feel like I’m touching your crotch. When I enter the bag. Sorry. – Yeah, don’t touch the bottom of the bag. – And then we’ll just. – Backseat. All right. You know what? I paid. Let’s get out of here, man. ((Engine Revving)) – Oh, hold on, now. – We’re driving. We are driving. – Okay. Got my dipping sauces on the dash. – Keep your eyes on the road, man. – Oh, well, okay. – Oh, it’s raining. – I can’t get. – That’s gonna be trouble. – I can’t reach. – You got to keep one eye on the road and one hand on the steering wheel. I’m buckled in. – I’m not. I don’t know how to use. I’m just going to have to. – That is good – You know, I’ve never had minestrone before. ((Laughing)) – I’m enjoying these breadsticks, man. – I think it’s actually good for you. – And they’re bottomless? Not a sponsor. – You want some? ((Laughing)) – You almost suffocated me because I didn’t. – Okay, whoa. Let me have a. – You want a breadstick? – [Link] I might have to put this on my crotch. Yeah. Give me, give me a breadstick. What? – We’re not looking at the road. You’re going to have to be real fast, man. Oh, no. Oh, no. – Man, the rain is pouring in. – Hold on, I got Alfredo on the dash. ((Laughing)) Right turn. – Okay. – Where’s that? Where’s that? Oh, I think one of the shocks just went. ((Laughing)) – This car was built on a trampoline. – Left turn, left turn. – Wow. – Okay. You want to pull over? – Yeah. – And evaluate. – Yeah. Let’s pull over and evaluate. ((Car Horn)) Okay. So, all of the soup part of my minestrone is basically out. – Yeah, I got some up here. – It went on my crotch. – I got a little tomato. – It went on your crotch. I have two big green beans. – Those are good, you should eat them. – On my crotch. – Breadsticks proved to be rather difficult. I do believe that we’ve wrecked at least a few times. – Neither one of us were looking at the road enough. – We got to stay focus on the road. – So the food we found so far, it just pulls you in. It just distract you from the task at hand. – I think the breadsticks were doing well. We were sharing. But when I got Alfredo on the dash. – It was over. – That would be a real problem in a real world situation. I think just having dipping sauces on the dash is this is an especially flat dash. – Yeah it is. – You know, it’s flatter than the average dash. It’s also closer to me than my dash. So I’m going to say breadsticks. Overall, we’re going to rank these on a scale of 1 to 100. And I’m breadsticks guy. Oh, I didn’t have any of my Coke. You didn’t have any of your drink. – No, I didn’t. Well, just give your score. – I’m going to say breadsticks. We can hold it in one hand, dipping sauce makes it kind of difficult. I’m going to say that averages out to about a 71. It’s not a bad sauce. – Minestrone, okay. Minestrone is a soup, ((Laughing)) not a great driving dish. – It’s tough. – I was quickly resorting to just putting my mouth on the bowl. – And my mouth on the bowl. – And I still did not drive at all. My crotch is entirely damp. I’ve got to give this. But it tasted great. And that’s got to count for something. I would say about 20 points. – Okay. – I would give it a 20. – Okay. Soup gets a 20. ((Music)) – All right. We’re still hungry. Let’s hit this drive-thru again. – Let’s go back to the drive-thru. Oh, she’s still there. – Oh, it’s you guys again. You remember us? – Yeah, still hungry? – Oh, yeah. – Very. – Link. I have a spaghetti and meatballs and Rhett, I have a ravioli carbonara. – Oh, ravioli. ((Car Horns)) -They kind of want us to go. – Be patient! – And we’re not paying again. Let’s get out of here. – Okay. All right, I got, hold on. I got the utensils, oh it looks like we’re heading into a forest. – Oh, good. We’re off roading. My goodness. – Oh, yeah, steer. Oh, no! ((Laughing)) Get it off! Get it off, get it off! I don’t know how that happened. What are the chances? Okay, hold on, hold on. I’m eating this. – [Link] All right. – I am so committed to eating this. – I don’t know how to. – I’m gonna try to keep. – Drive. – Okay, I’m going to keep one hand on the wheel. – Right turn. – And then you kind of, you get to bring the pasta to it. – You got to do it. Oh yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. ((Laughing)) – Dang, this is good too. I think I need to go to Olive Garden more. ((Laughing)) – That’s your take on this so far? Olive Garden’s good. – Okay. – Okay. You want a meatball? – Yeah. You got to keep a hand on the wheel. I’m going to hold my pasta on the wheel. – Correct. – I might choke. – Steer. – I got it, look, I’m doing it. – Right turn. ((Laughing)) I’ll eat it up. Eat it off your leg. – Left turn. Okay. All right, Let’s pull over. ((Car Horn)) ((Laughing)) I don’t know how I got that bag on my head. – I looked over, I was like. There’s spaghetti everywhere. My main concern was I was going to, like, stab the back of my throat with this fork. – Yeah. – That was my biggest concern. And then I was afraid you were going to suffocate in that bag, Rhett. – How did you get a meatball onto me? – I think I was trying to feed you. And then we hit a bump and it bumped into your bowl. – Okay, well, what’s your score? Because I’ve got some strong opinions about mine. – Spaghetti is everywhere. I had to eat some of it off of your thigh in order to clean up a little bit. – Yeah, thank you. – I feel like the amount of attention I was giving to the road was severely limited. – But that’s why there’s two of us, though. I think when you weren’t paying attention and I didn’t have a bag over my head, I was paying attention. – My hand’s burning from sauce. – Spicy. – I went into a slurp zone. – Better than soup, right? – It’s better than soup. I’m gonna give it a nice even 50. – Oh, that’s pretty good. So the thing about the ravioli carbonara is that it doesn’t shake around a whole lot. So there’s not a whole lot of slosh around. And then when you get one out, – Boy, that’s greasy. – If you’re willing, if you’re willing to put the whole thing in your mouth. – Yeah. It’s actually not that messy. Now you got to figure out what you’re going to do with the wheel here, but I think you can actually kind of get away with it. We don’t recommend that. – This was the problem for both of us having to steer with the thing we’re scooping out of. – It’s no breadstick, but I’d say it’s a solid 61. ((Music)) Hey, listen up.

All right. – Let’s get back to the drive-thru. – Yeah, still hungry. – Hopefully she doesn’t give it to us in the bag this time. – Here we go. – You guys love this place, huh? – Yeah, actually, we do. – Okay, now you’re my only customers. – Through the drive thru? – [Lily] Through the drive thru. – Oh, no. – [Lily] So, Link, I have an Eggplant Parm for you. And Rhett you have a Grilled Chicken Margherita. – Oh, Grilled Chicken Margherita. I don’t even know what that is. – Sounds like a drink. All right, let’s get out of here before we have to pay ((Engine Revving)) – Which is that? – I don’t know. That might be mine. That might be yours. – This is Eggplant Parm. Whoa, whoa. – You want this again? Oh, oh no. It’s on the floor. – Oh, gosh, you idiot. You threw it on the floor. – I didn’t do anything, you threw a bag on my head. You, also, all the all the utensils were in the bag. Follow that Porsche. – Okay. – Stick to the Porsche. – Okay, yeah. How do I, some, neither one of us ((Laughing)) – I would be using a fork and a knife right now. Oh, that’s pretty good. ((Laughing)) – This ain’t bad for eggplant. – Oh, God. – I feel like we’re catching up with that race car. – We’re staying right with him. How is yours? – There’s a lot of noodles in my face. But I like the breading. – Can I try it a little bit. Have some broccoli. Oh, okay. I got to watch the road, do it from the side. Don’t block my view. I got nothing, man. – Give me some. – I got nothing. You put your spaghetti in mine. Take some broccoli. Keep your eye on the road. Keep your eye on the road. Okay. Okay. I’m about ready to shut ‘er down. – What, what, what is this, man? – Okay, let’s pull over. ((Car Horn)) – So I ended up with yours. – That was a rough start for me. With a bag over my head again and the utensils falling past my face. I feel like this one had a distinct disadvantage considering that, is there a lot of, is there a lot of sauce on my face too? You got sauce on your glasses. – Without any utensils. – I think the problem is. – And raking it up off of the floorboard. – Technically. – We were left to just feed ourselves from the container. – What you would need to do, this is this is a piece of chicken that you need to cut. But in the end, also the Parmesan. The fact that you need utensils, even if we had them, if they weren’t on the floor. – Look how big of a. That would be really tough to pull off. It’s not as bad as soup. But I’m going to go for my dish. I’m going to go all the way down to a 25. I mean, I can’t cut this. – I’m gonna give this a 23 because of one of the greatest basketball players to ever live, if not the greatest. – Oh – 23 – 23, yeah. Michael Jordan. – Michael Jordan. – I thought you were going to say and he loved eggplant parmesan. I was waiting for like another connection to be made. – All right, let’s drive to the results. – I don’t, I think we can just stay here. – Yeah, let’s not drive, actually. – Okay, so with a score of 71, breadsticks are the most street edible or “streetable” food at Olive Garden. Minestrone soup, as you might expect with the score of 20. The worst “streetable” food. – But most everything scored below 50. I mean, the Ravioli Carbonara, we got a 61, and then of course, the breadsticks. But because the majority of stuff didn’t even break the 50 barrier. – Yeah. I don’t think we can say that Olive Garden should have a drive-thru. – Sorry, Olive Garden. It’s not a good idea. – Stick to the seats, baby. – All right.
