It’s Buffalo Wild Wings versus Hooters. Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Who would win in a cook off, the buffalo or the owl? Well, neither have opposable thumbs, so it’s gonna be hard for both cases. Owls are nocturnal, so the buffalo would have more time to work with. But it’s gonna be pretty hard working with a knife with a hoof. So all that time might go to waste, and both might have a difficult time reading a recipe. But an owl could probably read anything with those eyes. What do you think an owl would read? Do you remember what we’re doing today? No. I was talking about Buffalo Wild Wings versus Hoots Wings by Hooters. Oh, yeah, that’s interesting as well. But I’m glad you did the thought exercise. It’s time for Food Feuds Buffalo Wild Wings versus Hoots Wings. Okay, queef biscuits. We’re kicking things off with wings. On Rhett’s side is Buffalo Wild Wings, traditional wings with original buffalo sauce for thirteen ninety-nine, and boneless wings with parmesan garlic sauce for eleven ninety-nine. And on Link’s side is Hoot’s Wings, a fast, casual and more family friendly offshoot of Hooters. And we have their naked wings with buffalo medium sauce for nine ninety-nine and their boneless wings with parmesan garlic sauce for seven ninety-nine. They still look all naked, though, huh. Family friendly, huh? But there’s. It’s not boob forward, it’s wing forward. Yeah. Boobs in the back now. Boobs in the back. Wings in the front. Boobs in the back. So I’m gonna start with my. My little flat from B-W-W. This is solid wing. We’ve been here. We’ve liked it. We’ve done that. It’s been a while. It’s a nice spice. Since I hooted it up. I don’t recall the last time, actually. I was so hammered. These have that signature orange sauce on it. Hooter’s got some orange sauce. And I like the taste of that sauce. I would say it’s more of, like, a a classic wing sauce. Like what you would get in the bottle for a hot wing sauce. It’s not as heated. But it’s still decently heated. It has more. There’s more, like oil or butter in this, which makes it actually somehow a little bit less flavorful. I agree. They’re both really good, but look at how different the garlic parm is. Why are these so dark? They’re darker. Why are they dark like that? I gotta say, there’s a part of me that every time I get boneless wings, I feel like I’m like a sellout, you know? Because I’m not. Right. Doing the purist thing, but every time I do that, I’m just following the trend, because boneless wings have outsold traditional wings at Buffalo Wild Wings for the past five years straight. These are good. That surprise you? Yeah. But the thing is, it’s not a wing at all. It’s just a piece of a breast. It’s an elongated chicken nugget. I mean. But that issue you have with both, though, equally, so that it cancels each other out. That’s true, Rhett. Thank you. Now, these are. They have a lot more of that wet sauce. That’s so much better. The chicken is more tender. It’s more moist. The outside is not tougher. This is pretty tough. And a little bit dry on the inside. I mean, look at that. It’s fried hard. It doesn’t really have all the zest that I was hoping for. The flavor’s pretty good. I’m giving a collective score to Buffalo Wild Wings’ wings. Seven. You know what? I agree. Seven. Giving it a seven. Over here. I’m taking it up a notch. Me too. Am I taking it up two notches? I’m not. I’m going to an eight. You know what? I’m going to go all the way to a nine. Whoa, Hoots. You really struck a chord with Link. Yeah. There’s one of the notes in the chord. Each of the Hooters are making the other notes. Your hooters are? Yep. My hooters. My hooters. If you were wondering why there were some gasps and groans in the room, it’s because the crew tournament is still going on to predict your picks. Lauren and Amy currently have the lead, or at least they did before the upset of last round. So, we’ll see who comes out on top. Hey, we’re just telling the truth, Stevie. This is the Nashville hot chicken sandwich round. On Rhett’s side is Buffalo Wild Wings sandwich for fourteen ninety-nine. And on Link’s is Hoots for nine ninety-nine. I mean, they really got some heavy hitting slaw on this thing. I haven’t had this from there. Solid. It is a legitimate Nashville taste. This is messy. That’s pretty solid. I mean, we’ve had some really, really good. Oh, that got a little hiccup. Yeah, it was that hot? Oh, yeah. You might start in a second. No, that was fake. Oh, that’s good. And they’ve got actual. Like, cayenne. Jalapeños on it, too. Yeah. All types of peppers, actually. And it’s two pieces, whereas this one. Oh, same thing. Two pieces. They do that at a lot of these places. Yeah, it’s like chicken. It’s just the chicken fingers on there. No slaw. Yeah. Just pickles. This chicken’s got to be good to outdo that. The Hoot’s chicken is good. But the taste is better. I do feel like the quality’s higher. It’s just not enough of a Nashville chicken sandwich. But it does remind me, Link, if you will go on a trip down memory lane with me. Well, if we’re going to Hooters, I know exactly where you’re going. So we had a friend, good friend of ours, Trent. Yeah. Trent was. Let’s call him T. T. T was a little bit ahead of us in some areas, and, one of those was apparently going to Hooters. He decided he was going to take us to Hooters when we were in high school. And he was like, I’ve been to Hooters plenty of times. And when he got there, he sure had been there because he knew the waitresses by their names. And every time. Yeah. He would be like. He’d be like, no problem, Julie or something. Like, you know, her name. And then every time Julie would come back, we, me and Link, would just look down and giggle. That’s all I could muster up. Was just a looking at my chicken giggle. We didn’t really look at Julie or any, anything else. And you know, the last time I went to Hooters was probably five or six years ago, and I was still doing the same thing. Okay, Julie. So I think I could probably handle Hoots. Miss you, Julie. I think Hoots. We don’t know what you look like, but we miss you. Yeah. I don’t go to a lot of breast-arants, you know? I don’t darken the door of. Darken the door. Of a breast-arant. But the Hoot place. What’s it called? Hoots wings? I am pleasantly surprised and just thoroughly enticed. I think the seasoning is not what you need from Nashville. A Nashville hot sandwich. You don’t have slaw, and I just. I’m not feeling it as much over here. This is not great because there’s so many really good hot chicken sandwich. That’s a seven. I’m giving it a six over here. I’m also giving this a six because it’s. It needs slaw. It’s not. It’s not exactly what I wanted. It’s good at what it is. I think it needs more seasoning. I’m also gonna give it a six. Okay. All right. There we go. Didn’t accomplish much there. Hoots. Not our fault. Available for only twenty-four hours, it’s June’s Pin of the Month. It moves. It’s modeled after our shuffleboard game. Look at that. You can wear it however you want to, but if you wear it like I did and you want the puck to be at the top, just lean back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’ll stay. Wear it that way. It’s just. It’s a super. And then you lean up. Retro design. Movable. I love it. Get it at mythical. com. Twenty-four hours only. Go for it. Next up, you have chicken tenders. On Rhett’s side is Buffalo Wild Wings hand breaded tenders for fifteen ninety-nine. And on Link’s side is Hoots, chicken tenders for seven ninety-nine. And you also have two different dipping sauces, barbecue sauce and teriyaki sauce. That teriyaki packs a punch. These are. I’m focusing on the chicken. These are dinkier, like Hoots’ wing. Well. They’re, I mean, they. It’s a slightly different breading process. They vary in size. Slightly different breading process. A lot crunchier. More breading. What is the difference between a boneless wing and a chicken tender? Well, they make the boneless wing. It’s like an oblong nugget. So is it ground up? Is the meat ground? No, it’s a piece, but it’s not. It’s like a third of a tender. That’s really the only difference. It’s like, if you made three into a tender. You cut a tender up into one. I’m kind of, I’m taking the sauces into account. In this reigning. If you take just the breading into account. There may be more breading over here, but it’s flavorless. This is a nice, seasoned breading. I know about making a dredge, y’all. And they have seasoned this very well. But why are they making them so small? Well, just eat more. Look at the cross section, though. Look at how big this one is. Break it in half, though. Compared to this one. It’s deceptive. Break it in half. And see the cross section of chicken. Break it in half. There’s a bunch of breading. There’s not any more chicken. Look how thick that is. It’s actually more chicken. All right. All right. Got him. I just don’t like the flavor, man. Hoots’ wings is doing a better job of cooking their chicken, not overcooking it. I’m not gonna argue with that, but I just think it’s such a missed opportunity. They look great, but it’s not seasoned enough. I’m gonna give these a seven. I’m actually going all the way to a five for Hoots’ chicken tenders. I’m sorry. I did it. Oh, snap. I can’t do that. I feel bad. I’m just trying to keep it real. I do think you’re right about the breading. I’m gonna give this a seven. I’m not gonna be as hard on this, because they look great. They’re cooked to perfection, and they got this homemade vibe. I’m just gonna notch it down one to six. Lastly, we have fried sides. On Rhett’s side is Buffalo Wild Wings french fries for five ninety-nine, mozzarella sticks for eleven forty-nine, and fried pickles for eleven forty-nine. And on Link’s is Hoots’ waffle fries for four twenty-nine, mozzarella sticks for seven ninety-nine, and fried pickles for eight ninety-nine. Let’s compare the fried pickles since we’re here. Lot of breading. Thick pickle over there at Buffalo Wild. Pretty good. Could be a little crispier. Now these, they’re thinner. There is a homemade vibe here, which I think might work in its favor for this. I like a thick. And then it’s. The breading is really thin, too, so you can still see the cut of the jib. Those are excellent. Pretty daggum salty, but what do you expect? You’re eating a fried pickle. What do you think? Who are you? Get your head out your butt. Pickles definitely win big time. Easy. Let’s go to the fries. Here’s a fry. It comes from a potato. Here’s a fries as well. Okay. All right. Okay. Look at this one. Oh, a waffle fry. It’s a waffle fry. That’s notable. I’m actually gonna get one that’s the most waffly. What do you call this style? Lattice. Not just waffle, though. It’s like waffle plus hash brown? You know what I’m saying? You mean the red stuff on it? Why is it so red? It tastes like a hash brown. Neither one of these are. They’re not great. Neither fry is great. Fries tie. Fries tie. Yep. And let’s look at these. These are totally different. Which one’s longer and which one’s thicker? And which one is more important? Buffalo Wild Wings is longer. Hoots is thicker. I think it’s all about the cheese. I like that. Made somewhere, trucked in, refried. I’m not a huge fan of that. And then this one, the short and stubby. I don’t know, man. They’re different, but not. I’m liking these a little more. I think I’m just. I’m gonna have to go back to the pickle of it all, because the pickles are so much better over here. This is the ideal fried pickle. Ideal. Ideal. This is. This is the gold standard. I dill. Ideal in fried pickles. Fries and mozzarella sticks are both average, which puts me into, like, a six for both places. But these fried pickles are something special. This is something you’re gonna tell your grandkids about. Okay. You gonna look back at your little journal from that day, and you’re gonna be using that new journal feature on the iOS, where it looks at your pictures and just suggests that you should write something. And you’re gonna have this picture of your fried pickles from Hoots. And you’re gonna be like, yes, I remember that day. And you’re gonna write something like, I was at Hoots, Julie came up to the table. I looked down, giggled. I remembered, oh, I’m not at Hooters. I’m at Hoots. Right. She’s dressed appropriately, and I can make eye contact with her and just ask her for some fried pickles. And make sure I don’t say fried “dickles”. Or thigh “dickles”. Yeah. And then the end. That’s at the end. Okay, you’re done with that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. It’s gonna be in your journal, I get it. But I am gonna tell my grandkids about it. I’m gonna say a four for Buffalo Wild Wings. God. That is so harsh. Why don’t you put that in your journal? That’s so harsh. You’ll never forget that. Because two out of three didn’t wow me anywhere over here with these pickles. I gotta bump it up. I mean, it pushes it up to a six. Okay, well, I’m actually not that far off, cause I’m going five and seven. Those pickles are so special. They brought those at five up to a seven. So where does that bring us overall? Oh, my goodness. Buffalo Wild Wings, fifty. But Hoots Wings at fifty-three takes the cake. With the upset. I was not expecting that. There’s no actual cake. Speaking of upsets, remember how I said earlier that both Lauren and Amy were hanging on in the crew tournament. It’s just Lauren now. Lauren, you like that Hoots Wings, too? You knew we’d be up to no good over there. Good instincts. Okay, all right. Hoots Wings. Hey, you really surprised us. And it wasn’t that Buffalo Wild Wings didn’t show up today. Like, fifty is a. You know, anything in the fifties is generally a pretty good score. So congratulations, Hoots Wings. You’ve efficiently. Yeah, efficiently and officially. Earned the right to sponsor an episode of Good Mythical Morning. That’s right. You okay? You need some more Hoots? I’d like some. Yeah. All right. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
