Do expensive ingredients from a grocery store taste better? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. We played the game we’re gonna play today a couple of times now, seeing if we can actually tell the difference between expensively made dishes and cheaply made versions of the exact same dish. And to our surprise, it is actually a lot harder than we expected. And even though our batting averages are surprisingly low, our spirits are high. Yeah, because today is the day when we show the world what our tongues are made of. It is time for Food, Price, Fight. Top shelf versus bottom shelf. Okay, boys, up first. We have lobster rolls that have been prepared by the Mythical Kitcheners. One was made with the cheapest ingredients from Walmart and the other with the most expensive ingredients from Walmart. And all of those ingredients used for each dish are on the podiums for you to take a look at over there along with uh, Two-Face Chase. What’s up, Two-Face, Chase? Hi. Lemme see. Lemme talk to cheap Chase. I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth. Oh, what about the other guy? I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Oh, dang it. I saw that one coming. It was uncomfortable both ways. Oh, okay. Why don’t you give the rolls a little taste. So one of these is a cheap lemon, and, uh, then you’re gonna, apparently then you’re gonna guess taste and pass. Taste and pass. I’ll just taste one end and, uh, then pass. Yep. Yep. I did that. 360. Yeah. Why, why you trying to choose which end you want? Gimme this. It’s a cold one. Whoop, whoop. Well, I’m dropping everywhere. That didn’t happen to you. I, um, I like that. I mean, that’s good. I want it to be hot. You want it to be hot? Yeah. This is like the cold style from like the recipe that we used. Yeah. Cold’s not bad. Cold’s not bad, but it’s not hot. Where was I that, one of the things that I could buy was like a $46 lobster roll. I don’t know. You didn’t tell me about it. Off a very limited menu. Oh, um, airport? Yeah. In the airport, in the LAX airport. We were like at the terminal trying to get something to eat. Was it really 46? I don’t think it was 46. In my mind it was 46. It was very expensive. Unnecessarily expensive. Hmm. I had the Mediterranean protein plate. I remember. I ate a sandwich cut diagonally and then put into a plastic container. I paid $17 for that. They’re both good. They’re both. I can’t tell the difference in, in the lobster, which I think would be the biggest price difference. Okay, you ready? Three. I’m basing it on the bread. Two. One. Cheaper. Oh yeah. I think that one tasted a little bit better, but it was really hard to tell. The cheaper roll is on Rhett’s side. Ah, how did you know? The last taste of lobster, I thought that this had a slightly just slightly fishier taste, but it was, I mean. And fishier meant more expensive to you? Cheaper. Oh. Yep. This, because you said over the cheaper one, right? Yep. That’s how you play the game. I, I played it right? I, I’m, I didn’t understand. Okay. Uh, so Chase, uh, go ahead and remove the price tag on the cheaper ingredient podium. Hmm. So that’s how much we paid for all those ingredients. And for two more points, you’re gonna write down how much you think we paid for the expensive cart. When I just tasted that lobster tail on its own. It wasn’t, it wasn’t as good. Yeah. ’cause this is the expensive one. I should have did that. Yeah. That’s really what did it for me. See again, for that $42, that’s just one lobster roll that Los Angeles sitting a national lobster for. They sell it for 46 to make $4 and 15% profit. That’s how the economy works. Kids. There’s lots of, lots of things here. Mm-hmm. I think, um, I’m just looking at these different ingredients. Just write down a number. Good. Quiet. Quiet. Okay. [Rhett]: $77.38. [Link]: $69.96 Well, I will say there’s a lot of for grabs today because you do get a selection of items from the discounted section in Walmart’s clearance, uh, area. That’ll be great. And with that, uh, Chase, let’s see how much it costs. Whoa. $119. Why? Because of the lobster tails. Why? They cost so much more, I bet. I bet. Okay. Well, Rhett’s closer. He gets the points, but what do we think in terms of, uh, not worth it? Value here? Totally not worth it. I think when you isolate the lobster, you can tell the difference, but full bite, not worth it. Not worth more than double, triple, basically. Not worth it. So we’re gonna go with bargain. Next up, we have Southern Style Fried Chicken, and this time all the ingredients are from Ralph’s. Ralph’s. Now if I pull, if I pull these up and take a look, see right here. Do you see it? Oh, there’s a difference. There’s a difference. One’s a little bit darker. That’s a little bit darker and less vibrant. This one’s a little bit darker now I’m looking over here. And the more expensive one. The chicken’s free range. The eggs are pasture. They’re put out in the pasture. They’re pasture range chicken? Pasture raised. So do you taste any free ranging chicken and pasture egg? Well. These ones are California SEFS compliant. Let’s see if I can taste the compliance. Any eggs a good egg, these days. That tasted good. I don’t know if I tasted freedom. Hmm. Mythical kitchen knows how to fry some chicken. There’s a difference in taste. Yeah. Now I noticed that one of ’em used Tapatío and Miller used something that I can’t read, I think Is that Gunslinger, Arizona Gunslinger. Arizona Gunslinger. Um, I was not familiar. Just state in the– They make great sauces. Josh loves it. Um, this one’s not, doesn’t have as much. Um, like I think the flour, the way it’s behaving is different. Is your flour misbehaving? This, this flour over here is a little more ready for the party. I definitely prefer these. Yeah. But expensive chicken doesn’t necessarily mean better chicken. I think it does. Okay. Hand over the cheaper chicken in 3, 2, 1. So yeah, I mean, I mean we got to, if I’m just gonna go it done. Dice is good. This is more, there’s a lot more flavor over here. The cheaper southern style fried chicken is on red side. Dang. I told you many times. It doesn’t mean it. Ah, I could have gone for the gusto. Let’s see how much that cart costs. $36 for some chicken wings. Okay. But there’s still the two points up for grabs. If you can tell me how much the expensive cart costs. Hmm. I mean, see, you seem to know something about that sauce that Josh loves. Well, I don’t know how much it costs. I just, I’ve heard Josh talk about it. I mean, I have had it even, that’s a couple of dollars. But like chicken can really, once you start saying things like free range chicken. Do you have to say it like that? Free. I’m free. Is are you doing an impersonation of the chicken or the farmer? The I’m the chicken. Oh, should I go double? I said $59. I went more than double friend I $91. I don’t think so. Those pasture raised eggs. No. Woo. Free range, but I’m gonna take some of this. All right, chase. Let’s see it. Oh, wet. See, hey, you let a chicken run around, you’re gonna pay for it. I’m telling you, man, you just watch. You just watch. And when you gotta pay for a whole pasture for the eggs to range in range. Yep. Well, yep. Mm-hmm. Or raise. Well, I think you were saying taste wise though, that you both, it’s prefer the cheaper, better. I don’t know now, now I’m going, I’m going back to these now I’m sad. You know what I’m saying? That is, that is quite a difference. I mean, I wasn’t willing to believe that could happen. Yeah. So I’m saying we gotta go with the bargain again. Oh. Clearly. On this one bargain, you can relive the joy and the chaos of mythical kitchen’s. First live stream, get video on demand access to watch the full recording of Survive The Mythical Kitchen. Yes.

Okay, last up we have chocolate mousse made from ingredients bought at Target. Did you cross contaminate? No. No, no, no, no, no. Now you’re a Puddin man, but you, I’ve never seen you be a moose man. Mose is airier, but it’s kind of the same. It’s like, so, but do you like moose? Because I’ve never seen you order it. Yes, I like moose. How does that chicken come out on whatcha looking at. Oh, chicken came out. Oh, good. That’s, I’m glad I moved your moose, dude. ’cause it’s also my moose. You don’t want chicken in your moose. Of course. They were made exactly the same. Um, different color. I think This one, this one looks smoother. This one looks a littler. Now what do you do when you have a two man thing? I think you do this special treatment where you go side by side. I’ll you go back. I’ll go forward. Okay. Well, what are you doing that stay over there? I’ve already, I’ve already pierced it. Oh, look how, look how fluffy it is. It’s full of fluff. Moose is better than pudding. I like the airiness. I like the effortlessness that my tongue is experiencing. I couldn’t say the word experience. My tongue was so caught up in the experience. I think moose is more. Pristinely chocolate five. And that’s why it doesn’t, you like the fake taste of putting, don’t you? What you about to say? Because of, because of the childhood that I had. Yeah. Well, yeah. There’s a lot that we owe to that. Okay. Uh, it’s nossal. I’m tasting nostalgia, man. Oh, oh, oh. So smooth. So smooth. This one’s wetter. And again, they did the exact same type of ingredient. The same. Oh my God. It’s so like, it’s like I ate nothing. Ah, yeah. ’cause this one, that’s what moose is about. It’s about eating chocolate and feeling like you’re not, this one’s heavier. This is a, this is a, this is a cloud that floats by. This is a cloud that’s going rain on you. I shouldn’t eat this much brown cloud. I’m gonna put my hand over the cheaper one. That’s right. Three, two, oh, hold on, hold on, hold on. I’m still thinking though. I know that part, but I got other things. You gotta think about like where, which one do I think is cheap? What makes it airy? You don’t know. What makes it airy. We don’t know. That’s the thing. Those are both organic eggs. Vital is now on the cheaper side. This is, this is really good. Rice is so, light rice organic. Vital is the cheaper egg. This is the world that we are currently living in. Oh, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, can I just say link? You’re down five to zero. You cannot win unless I extend an offer that you can’t refuse. Okay. If you get this right and you guess the price right within mm-hmm. $10 you win. I’ll do, I’ll say 9 99 since you said 2:59 AM. If you’re within 9 99 and you’re right on everything. Okay. Alright. Mm-hmm. Alright, we’re ready. Is lighter cheaper, or is heavier? Cheaper. Reminder. The cheaper. Wait, wait, what? 3, 2, 1. Okay. Oh, so we differ. We differ. So you think I, I think that the heavy whipping cream from the more expensive makes a thicker mousse. You might be right. And I think the HU chocolate is more chocolate. But I do like chocolate like this, this one better. Z link size. Okay. All right. You’re still alive and I like it better. So I’m saying bargain no matter what. Okay, let’s see’s. See how much the cheaper cart. I do. Do you do too? I, the, the smoothness. I mean, MOUs is about being smooth. The chocolate inness of this is nice. I gotta get within 9, 9, 9. So double. It would be 47 ish. You also have to be closer than me, not just within. You have to win it and be within 9, 9, 9. You don’t win for not winning. Okay. I’m not gonna make the mistake that I made before. Okay. What’d you say? 49 37. 63.99. I wanted to go bigger ’cause I, that’s the mistake I’ve been making. I’ll also say, as you pointed out, ’cause those are, ’cause Vital Farms is a nice egg. We’re going through an egg situation here. So it’s the world we are living in. E Exactly. So in, in our target. That was the cheaper egg, I’m just gonna say. Yep. Um, okay, let’s see. Ah, you nasty. Grocery shopper. Yep. I’m sorry. Link. You know what? As a constellation prize, you can have all the moose.
