Now, what is the real difference between expensive grocery store items and cheap versions of those same items? You asked too many questions. It’s time for… food price fight. Top shelf versus bottom shelf. Okay, boys, up first we have sausage and cheese breakfast casseroles that have been prepared by the Mythical kitcheneers. One was made with the cheapest ingredients from Ralph’s and the other with the most expensive ingredients from Ralph’s. All ingredients used for each dish are on the podiums for you to take a look at. Right on either side of Chase. Who… Do you have a character name or are you just wearing that outfit? Yeah, this side of me is Chase. Turn all the way. There you go. What’s up, Chase? Hey, guys, it’s me. I’m Chase. And then this side of me is Chase. But the S is a dollar sign. C is a cent sign. And turn more. Oh, dang. E is a euro. And I don’t know about H,A. It’s just a joke, ha! All right, I can see your right knee is trying to peek out down there. That’s Chase’s knee. This is Chase’s knee. You can keep it down. Yeah, I can see it when it’s low. Okay. Breakfast casserole. Wow. What a treat. What a treat. -In my house, when we do breakfast casserole. Caca roll. We put bread on top of it, and it is really good that way. Why am I having such a hard time? I don’t know. Has it been a while since you used a fork? It won’t stay on the fork. It’s not. I would say this one’s not as forkable. That’s really, really tasty. You taste anything cheap about that? No, but cheap sausage is sometimes good. So the expensive sausage is Jimmy Dean’s. I can see that. But that Kroger sausage. Kroger sausage is good. You know, they ain’t gonna play. Kroger ain’t gon play. Breakfast for dinner. Breakfast for. What about breakfast for lunch? I’ve done it. I don’t know how I feel about that. I get really excited about breakfast for dinner. I get really excited about breakfast for breakfast. Breakfast is for lunch. Heard about brunch, Bruh? Yeah, but that’s not lunch. I get excited about that. Well, it’s breakfast and lunch put together. I feel like there is a pretty distinct difference between these two. They’re both good. One is, in my estimation. 20 to 28% better. Is it the peppers? I can really taste peppers over there. I didn’t say anything, man. Okay, you’re gonna put your hand over the one that you think is made with the cheapest ingredients. Okay. So the one we like less is what you’re voting for. Three… We are not. We are not a team anymore right now, man. We’re playing for ourselves. Every man for themself, man. This is a competition, man. I’m putting my hand over the one I like less. I’m not your friend right now, man. I don’t need a friend. 2… 1. Oh, look what my friend did. I’m not your friend. I don’t need a friend. I don’t need friends. This one doesn’t taste as good. This one I can taste the peppers. The cheaper one… Is on Link side. You’re both correct. So Chase, please go ahead or. Sorry, which? Chase. Yes, Chase. Whatever his name is. Please go ahead and remove the price tag on the cheaper ingredient podium. So that is the total price of all those groceries. And now I ask you for two more points. What do you think the price is of the expensive groceries to make this dish? On Chase’s side. I didn’t. I’m really curious what it is. It’s putting it over the top. I do think it’s the sausage and the peppers, but how could the really. The peppers? Link? Leek? You don’t need any friends. What’d you just call yourself? Did you take the N out of your name? Some people do that to you. Leak. Leek? Is it Leek? I wouldn’t know. I’m not your friend. 62 dollars. Whoa. $54.33. I ain’t afraid to go all the way. Let’s see, other Chase. you got it, same Stevie. $57. This is close. This is close. But I’m closer. Yeah, just by a little. But is it worth the… Like you said, it was 20% to 28% better. I think it is. It really is better. I think it is because you can do a lot of other things with those ingredients. I mean, think about this. This is gonna be a big. What are we talking, nine by thirteen? Is that how big a casserole is? Think about. Good point. I can stretch a 9 by 13 casserole maybe four or five months. Oh, you’re talking about breakfast, brunch, dinner, for four months. And I do a cube like that. But not lunch, Stevie. When I’m on my cube diet, I can get four months out of a casserole. But what is making it so much better? The cheese, the sour cream. The sausage, the eggs. The sausage, the eggs. All of the ingredients that are in it. Maybe the milk. Yep. We’re saying boujee. Next up, we have chicken noodle soup made with ingredients from Whole Foods. If we’re sick, this is gonna make us better. It’s magical. That’s right. But if you’re not sick, it can make you sick. What? No. Don’t you do that to me. That’s how life works. Okay. Big chunks of chicken. I mean, the chicken kind of looks the same over there. Chase, I can’t help but notice. Why you having so much trouble with utensils today? I’m talking. That’s why. Chase, I can’t help but notice that your face is the same on both sides. No, the rich side has longer hair. Look. Yeah, that’s good… Never turn down some dill. I think it’s gonna come down to the broth… This is a darker broth. I don’t know if that’s dill, man. Oh, I can see that there’s dill over There. Yeah, but this big greenie over here is not dill. Oh, there is dill right there, though, huh? Come on, come over here. Come over here and eat. What? This is dark. The broth is not as good. There’s too much celery taste. It’s like. This one is magical. It’s so much better to me. It’s saltier. Oh, now we gotta watch with Whole Foods because even the 365 more affordable stuff is still relatively fancy. All right. Hand over the Cheaper ingredient Soup in three, two, one. See, you think that that salt has fooled me? The cheaper soup is on Rhett’s side. Yep, the salt got him again. Yeah, it did. I mean, it’s just so much better. Let’s see that price. Wow. $62.39. Wow. Okay. You know, I’m gonna say that I’m going with the bargain… What’s the difference in that? Look at that fine salt you got there. I’m not gonna disagree with you… I agree. I mean, I’m also from Buies Creek, so I think the salty one is better. That’s right. But I just wanted you to embarrass yourself for a moment. Just a moment? Just a moment. Just a moment. Yeah. How much more expensive is this at Whole Foods? We could be going off the charts here. Could be off the charts. Could be off the charts. We might need another whiteboard. $81. So $101.39 brother. Oh, gosh, I overshot the last. Oh, goodness gracious. Yeah, man. Whole Foods, man. Yeah, I don’t. I don’t. You gotta pay a whole lot for Whole Foods. Whole lot. And they got that hot bar. So you’re saying, like, automatically you just put a little bit more salt in it and pay less and you’re fine? Listen. When it comes to soup, definitely. It’s how the fast food industry… does things. Stevie, you put more salt and people. I think it’s good… I do think it’s good. So we’re at Buies Creek agreeing that we’re going with Bargain. Last up we have Bananas Foster. Made from ingredients from Target. Oh, Or Tar-J. Target or Tar-J. Okay. Which half of you… Target. Okay. Target. Tarjay. Oh, wow. Chase, watch out. This side’s like a dollar. And this side’s like, ok, punch card. What makes it Foster? Chase’s over there doing his own show. I also thought for some reason Bananas Foster didn’t. Is it Bananas Foster a la mode, or does it always come with ice cream? It doesn’t always. Right? But ice cream’s fun. But what would it be without the Ice cream? Just Bananas Foster. which is bananas and walnuts and Bacardi. So rum. It’s like a breadless… Bread pudding. Banana pudding with ice cream. I had a great uncle named Foster. He played in a competitive basketball league for old people. I think he won a national championship. What? Yep. And then he went crazy, and that’s where the name came from. How come you never told me about any of this? Because, Rhett, you talk so much, I can barely get a word in his life. You always talk about your great uncle. You might have a perception problem. I love that you took my insult personally. I didn’t mean it, man. Yeah, I did. Oh, okay. Yeah. You’re not my friend. Exactly. We like the hokkabo. Both of these are good. What can we do? Keep eating them. It’s hard to tell a difference. There is a difference, though. It’s probably just the ice cream. I mean, like the butter and the banana and the walnuts. It’s the rum and the ice cream. I didn’t know it was such a good dish. I’m a bit shocked myself. Ice cream, like the vanilla ice creams. I feel like you can usually, you know, tell the cheapy. Also forgot to mention. Unfortunately, Link can’t win unless… I don’t want to win. Okay, well, but the prize is a bunch of clearance items that Davin picked out from Ralph’s. I feel like that’s right up your alleys. Are you sure you don’t wanna win? I also had a great uncle named Clarence, and I’m not lying. Foster’s brother is Clarence… and his other brother was Lincoln, my grandfather. So I have a Clarence and a Foster. I want to win. Okay, but you can’t. Oh, yeah. Okay, I’ll give you a deal. All right? If you get this part right And you get it within a dollar of the correct price. All right. Regardless of what happens to me, you win. All right. All right. Okay. Hand over the cheaper in 3, 2, 1. 100%. It’s this one. The ice cream is significantly better. I think every single thing about this one is better. I’ll be shocked. And it shows. The cheapest Bananas Foster is on Rhett’s side. I am shocked. We’re shocked! Because you’re saying the cheaper one tastes a lot better? YEAH! Even the ice cream tastes better. How much it cost? Well, yeah, it’s like name brand. Yeah. You can reveal it, but just looking at the ice creams. It’s a name brand… or. Sorry. It’s a target brand ice cream. Right. On the cheaper side. And a Tillamook Fancy Fancy on the other side. Okay. We’re not at Whole Foods anymore. That’s going to impact and I can’t win now. What if I get within $0.50? 25… Alright, 36…. Okay. $59.40. $73.65. I think it’s target. I don’t think there’s that much of a price difference. Let’s see. Oh, I’m bad. Whoa, I am bad at this. Well, the reason it’s really a wild card here is the alcohol. Alcohol? Yep. Really sent it up real high. The Koloa over there. Sent the price up. Well, Rhett, you have won… Davin, select Ralph’s Clearence items. Let’s see what he picked out. It goes without saying, we were saying bargain on that one. We both liked it. I got squishmallows. Oh, crap. Is this still in style? Bread. I got… color silk. What happened with this bread? I’ve got a gnome. I don’t know. What do you do with this gnome? The shape of this bread. Look at that. What do you do with this gnome? It’s hourglassed. You sit on it. Don Julio. Oh, is this in your future? Oh, Flavortown honey mustard. I got Betty crocker. I got a mouth of fruity cereal. I got a beehive looking thing. I got some cookies. I got bold flavored bone broth. I got You Did It Napkins that I can hold up to myself every hour on the hour. And Olay. And… a basket. You don’t get to keep the basket. Can I keep the basket? He doesn’t. Thanks.
