What does it cost to eat like a member of the Mythical Kitchen? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Today we’re tasting one of the Mythical kitcheneer’s favorite dishes. Let’s see if you can guess who it is. She perfected the frittata at the early age of four. Michael Jordan had a full head of hair until she dunked all over him. And she’s currently being recruited to be my new best friend, but Link doesn’t know about that yet, so keep it between us. None of that’s true. Of course it isn’t, Link. Of course it isn’t. It’s Vee. Hey, Vee. Hi! Look at you over there, anticipating us, eating all of your favorite foods before your very eyes. Yeah, that kind of irritates me, but it’s fine. Hey, hey, hey. They’re my favorite. We’re gonna let you eat your favorite foods. Okay, okay. Right after we eat them. Okay, we can be friends. Me and Rhett, though. All right. What is going on? It’s time for Naked Foods. Naked Vee Edition. Naked. Friendly reminder, it’s the food that is naked. Okay, schmucks, today you’ll be tasting some of Vee’s favorite dishes at low, mid, high, and fancy price levels. Each round, you’ll pick your favorite, and by the end, we’ll see how expensive your taste is. Up first, this is avocado toast. This is avocado toast. Link, before you have it. It’s a tall one, isn’t it? Look, I see the face of Edgar Allan Poe in this tomato. Show it. Guys, guys, guys. We have the face of Edgar Allan Poe. Can you see it? I see it. I saw it immediately. Oh, my gosh. This is hard to cut. Vee, do you like? Okay, I’ll eat it. No one was impressed. Do you like an avocado toast that you have to cut with a knife? I just bite into it. I never fork it. Oh, you? Yeah. You pick it up and bite it? Yes. That’s what I do. But that would be. It’s just really hard. Are you bleeding? I don’t know. I’m scared to look. What part of your hand did you poke? The finger part. See, that’s why you don’t need a fork. Use your hands. How is this? That’s some thick bread. There’s a charredness to it That might be fancy because of that. That tastes good. Artisan bread, they call that. I really like pickled onions. You’re learning that about. Those are the best. Can I make a suggestion? Cut it in half. And then bite it? And then, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that’s then end. That’s gonna save a lot on the. What? Look at this one, though. Hold on. Get your hand out of the way, man. What the hell’s wrong with you? I’m trying to show something. It’s like a man’s cut. Like, do you know how knives work? Apparently not. So this is a pickled carrot? That is a big, wide carrot sliver. That’s way better. No tomatoes, which I love. A little bit of onion. There’s something else on that that brings up a little bit of tanginess that the first one did not have. Well, there’s a. There’s a whiteness under here. What is that? Yeah, just tangy. I don’t know what it is. Is that an aioli? It’s like an onion spread. I’m gonna cut this one. Don’t hate. First one was really good. Why is the bread in this town so hard? Good God. You wouldn’t think it’d be that hard to eat avocado toast. I mean, this one’s got tomatoes all over it, and radishes. You been radished. That’s the best part. Radish? Yeah. I like radish. Yeah. But not tomatoes. But it’s not on the other two. Not as good. That feels like something I just make on a breezy afternoon. Yep. For myself. Now, this one, cut it in half. There’s an egg. It’s got an egg on it. I’ll let you cut through the fork. Oh, that feels strangely intimate. Nice. Cut through my fork. You guys would be fun to go to brunch with. We’d be sharing everything. Oh, there’s a. There’s a little. There’s a oily sauce on this one. It’s garlic aioli. Little bland. Yeah. The egg seems like it. I thought it was gonna be good. Would be interesting, but. There’s only one that I really like. Sorry, Vee I ain’t complaining. No, I think she’s got. You have a favorite of this, right? Does she have a favorite of one of these? Yes, I do. I’ll tell you after. All right, we’re ready. Three, two, one. Oh, not the one I would have picked. Okay. No tomatoes. You gotta try this one. It’s got carrots. And a white thing. It’s really surprising. Not that you picked it, but this is the low option. And it’s from Sqirl. Sqirl? Yeah. You don’t usually associate with the cheapest thing on the table, for twelve dollars. And the first one is the fancy one from Cabana for twenty-six dollars. Wow. The next one that you thought you could make on a breezy afternoon is our high price point option from Riot House for eighteen, and lastly, our mid price point option from Republik, with a K, Coffee for fifteen ninety-five. Okay. So which one’s your favorite? That last one right there with the egg. It has to have an egg on it. Okay. Yeah, I was fond of the egg, but Sqirl. Sqirl, y’all doing it upright putting some. Climb that tree. White stuff on there. These are lobster rolls. That have been cut in half, Link. Yes. And there’s only three of these, because. Life is good. Ain’t no thing, is such of a. What’s the word when something doesn’t cost a lot? You mean a cheap lobster roll? Yep. Is that what you’re looking for? Ain’t no such of a thing. As a cheap lobster roll. What style is it when it’s a little bit cold? Connecticut. It’s a fridge kind. Because, there’s. Well, you can either get it cold with mayo or hot with butter, but I don’t know if either is attributed to a specific. It’s a Maine. And I like that first one. It’s pretty, like. Tender. Right down the line. Right down the line. Like it’s what you expect. I’m not gonna write any letters. I meant, like, a letter of recommendation. Okay, so it might be unemployed if it’s up to you? This one’s little, it’s a little, little one. This looks like it’s in a potato bun. It’s little, so you don’t share, and I don’t share my lobster rolls. It’s very fresh tasting. Very good, too. This one over here is more toasty, overstuffed. Connecticut is the one with the warm butter. Okay. What am I gonna do? I’m gonna eat this like this. Anything fall of a lobster roll. Don’t put it back on. No, you eat it. Just eat it. Put it back on. You gotta put it back on. That’s really good. So good. So good. They’re all good. These are more what you expect. And this one’s better than that one. This one is a little bit of a wild card. I’m trying to figure it out. Little and good. You gotta save up money for a good lobster roll though. Yeah, you do. You might pay forty dollars! Three, two, one. I like it. But this is the wild card. Really, really got me excited. Great choice, Rhett. So, Rhett. Yes. You have chosen Vee’s favorite, a high price point option from Found Oyster for thirty-four dollars. I found it. Thirty-four dollars. And, Link, you have chosen our fancy option from Saltie Girl for forty-two dollars. Today, you’ll be celebrating by doing the fancy pants Bryan Cranston. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Whoa. He’s so spry. Whoa. Don’t, don’t, don’t give away the illusion. Yep, rub that hip. Sexy. There was an audible gasp. Pretty good, huh? Oh, no, the paper guy was thrown. The first one is our mid price point option from Broad Street Oyster for twenty-five dollars. Oh, and you’re eating the last round. I am. Did we get turned on to that one? I, no. I don’t know what I was asking. Did we turn you on to that one? I think Link just got turned on with Bryan Cranston. Turned on? No, but this is good. You noticed my shirt? Check out this cool patchwork quilt design of the GMM logo. Do you see the GMM in there? Yes. It just came alive. Pretty cool, huh? Also available as a sticker. So, you can make your own small T-shirts. Go to mythical.com and get patched up. This is beef bulgogi. Bulgogi! Dang. This is the first thing I order at Korean barbecue, always. I never had it until I came to this wonderful place that we all live in. Mythical? Yeah. I never leave. So this is, like, the test of a good Korean spot for you? But if this is good, and after the first thing I ordered, yes, one hundred percent. It’s dang good. But it’s more of a fried rice bulgogi. So I kind of feel like it was tasty, but. I like it. It doesn’t seem authentic to me. I like it when they’re not shy to throw a bunch of onions in it. You know, I’m a big fan of onion. It always has to have onions. That first one doesn’t have onion. Oh, well. This is a big improvement. I don’t know what that flavor is in bulgogi. It’s like that sweet, savory thing. Sugar. A lot of sugar? This has it. That didn’t. This has it. This one looks. This has got big. Like it could be even better. Unbroken pieces of meat. Lots of. Lots of cabbage and onion. These are, like, full pieces of, like, the, the rib meat. I don’t like it as much as this, though. It’s good, though. This one’s got some purple in it. Purple. Is that cabbage? Purple cabbage. Finer onions. No, they have to be, like, thick pieces. You might choke on one. Your standard is you want to make sure that you choke on it? Yeah. That’s good too. Okay. Well, you know what, Vee? Choke on this. Don’t say that. Oh, yeah? I just heard other people say it to me, so. That’s sad. That means they probably didn’t like you. Oh, really? But you said you like to choke on it, and so I was encouraging you to have the time of your life. It’s not the same. Okay. There’s a clear winner to me. Three. Okay. Two, one. I actually like this one. It was really good. I like that one second best, for sure. But there’s just something sweet. Rhett, you chose our high price point item from HanEuem by Chef Kang for twenty-six dollars. Chef Kang? And Link, you chose our mid price point dish from BBQ and Rice for twelve dollars. The first one was bad because it was from the grocery store. It’s Laughing Tiger for two seventy-eight. Laughing Tiger, that’s a pleasant thought. Not if it’s the last thing you see. If you ever see a laughing tiger. Well, I didn’t think he was laughing at me. And that one that you’re eating off of right now is our fancy option from Bacchus Tables for thirty-four dollars. Choke on this, tiger. Yeah. Laughing at me. This is southern style banana pudding. Oh, man. Pudding. This is kind of the, like, indicator of a great restaurant in North Carolina, a good barbecue restaurant. They don’t do this right, they’re not gonna do a lot of other things right. And Texas. Don’t forget about Texas. I mean, because I think this is, like, the official, unofficial, official, like, dessert of North Carolina. Is it also the official, unofficial dessert of Texas? I have no idea, but it is the official of Vianai Austin. That’s right. That’s good. So, all of these are in the to go thing so as not to be disturbed. They didn’t re-plate them. This has got the Nilla Wafers on top. Yeah. You could take it with you in the car, you know, on a bike ride, maybe. On the roller coaster? Take it on a bike ride? One of those bikes that has a cup holder. Yeah. Put it right there, and it’s banana pudding in a bike. Doesn’t that sound amazing? Yes. A banana bike. Remember those? This is not great. I’m sorry. Because this is, like, this has some cream. This is just the banana pudding and wafers. I feel like it’s lacking. This one. They added the banana. It’s got chess. It’s got Pepperidge Farm Chessmen in it. What? You may notice, I’m not eating the banana because the true test of banana pudding, for me, is eating it without the banana. What? That doesn’t even make sense. Exactly. I’m not here to make sense. I’m here to make dollars. Hey, I can’t fight with you on that. You right. That one’s good again. I think that’s my motto. Yeah, you should make that your. I’m not here to make sense. I’m here to make friends. I think it’s somebody else’s motto. The first one should be your Instagram bio. I’d follow you after that. Oh, you would start to follow me? That would do it. That’s not bad there. There’s a lot of cream on this one. This one looks like a cheesecake. The official dessert of Texas is pecan pie, apparently. What’s the official dessert of North Carolina? There’s not one. It’s banana pudding. This one is so sweet and sugary, and there’s not a glance of actual banana in it. The only one that’s got. It tastes banana-y, but. Yeah, I don’t like. I like it when it doesn’t have just whole banana. There’s some whole bananas in this first one. It’s good. But there’s one that is exquisite. Exquisite. Three, two, one. I like this one better. This is exquisite. Why is it exquisite to you? It’s, it’s. It’s so full flavored. It’s overly sweetened. No, it’s full flavored. It has all of the flavor. Yeah. You gotta get all the layers in one bite. Yeah. If I can do that, then it’s a good. Yeah. It is good. Well, Rhett, you have chosen our low grocery store. Dang, son. Is it Ralphs? Dish. Yeah. It’s actually Patti LaBelle’s line. It’s Patti. Patti LaBelle knows what’s up. From Walmart for two forty-four. Patti, give me a call. Let’s make a whole batch. Patti. Maybe you don’t need me. You’re already doing it. Patti. And Link, for the second time in a row, you. I mean, not in a row., for this episode, you have chosen our fancy dish, it’s also Vee’s favorite. It’s from Fixins Soul Kitchen for eleven dollars. Let’s see Bryan Cranston, if you didn’t break him before. It is good. Why? Yeah, that’s it right there. Yeah. Give the man thirty seconds and he will ruin your favorite show. Yeah, that’s valid. Why? I think I actually got a paper cut. See? Celebritycutouts.com The second one in that you said was not very good was the high price point option from Little Jewel of New Orleans for seven seventy-five. And the third one was the mid price point option from Annie’s Soul Delicious for six dollars. You’ve now tasted all of these favorites, and the lowest price total of every single round was thirty-seven twenty-two. The highest was one thirteen. Could I have, for the first time had a more expensive taste than you? I don’t think it’s the first time, but it’s the first time in a while, probably. It’s close. Rhett’s perfect meal, Vee meal total was seventy-four forty-four. Link yours was seventy-seven even. Wow. So two fancy’s only three dollars more? Weird. Wow. Patti LaBelle, come on now. Patti.
