Is expensive bread and butter better? Let’s talk about that. [Funky Intro Music] Good Mythical Summer. When I’m getting to know someone, I like to get deep. I wanna know you inside and out, and there’s no better track for that than the GI track. Okay? Thanks for going there. So today we’re going to be tasting the favorite foods at different price points, of course, of one of the newer faces around here. It’s Rachel Pegram. Hey, hello. Hi. Would you consider yourself a fancy eater? I dunno that I’m fancy. Your tastes are not highfalutin? Highfalutin feels like I’m, I’m outside. I, I’m right. I’m, I’m in it with the people too. Okay. You know, but sometimes I’m not. Yep. Okay. Sometimes. Sometimes I like it a little different. Sometimes I like it a little nice. Okay. It’s both. And then what about grimy? Sometimes you like to get a little grimy with it. I don’t. I don’t want too much grime. Alright. Sound pretty fancy. Well, I just don’t like to being sick. Okay. Yeah, that’s, that’s, that’s smart. She’s clean. I get it. Yeah. All right. It is time for Naked Foods, naked Rachel Edition, naked. One of these days we’re gonna get a naked person, but for now, it’s just the food. Okay, boys, throughout today’s game, Rachel’s favorite foods will be served at low, mid, and high fancy price levels. Each round you’ll pick your favorite, and by the end we’ll find out how expensive your taste buds are. Up first. This is rotisserie chicken. This is rotisserie chicken. Uh, or rotisserie. So I’m gonna be going for the breast because I feel like it’s a good test of if you can do your chicken right. This looks like a normal expected rotisserie chicken. I’m gonna tell you right now, it looks dry. As well as this one. These look identical and it tastes dry. This one cut up a little bit more and it’s darker in quality, and that’s got a lot of darkness. So now they’ve got an overview. Yes. I’ll also say, oops. In each round there is like, Rachel’s real favorite is amongst them for this particular round. There’s two of Rachel’s favorite. Oh, you can’t have two favorites. That’s, that undermines the whole concept of Favorite. Favorite is a tier. Oh, okay. Favorite is a level that you reach. You know, I do now. Yeah. Much more flavor on this second one. I mean, it looks like a, it’s tanori almost. Um, the breast, hmm. Is still a little bit dry, but the flavor is a few steps up and it’s a little spicy. The first one is exactly what you would expect. Nothing more. A second one. Grocery store. Mm-hmm. Costco. Hmm. Look at the size of this breast. I’m really digging on number two. You can’t get a breast from a natural chicken like this. I mean, look at that. Look at that. That’s so much meat. It’s almost Turkey like. That’s not a good thing to me. I was saying it with a, with a hint of disgust if you didn’t notice. Oh, I couldn’t tell. ’cause I know you’re a Turkey man. I’m just saying that if chicken shouldn’t be that big, Hmm. Way better than number one though. Super juicy. Probably because it’s injected. Just gonna be honest with you. That’s what you think. It’s injected. Injected. They inject juices into and solution into these rotisserie chickens. That’s what makes ’em juicy. I didn’t know that. You know what else they do, Rachel? What? They spin it? No. Yep. They get all discombobulated. They rotate it. No, they ro-tis it. Completely discombobulated. Keep my voice still. Number three is the really good version of number one. Exactly. And this one is number four. The really good version of number two. Or is it just overcooked? Hmm. This is the driest one. Flavor-wise, pretty good. But yeah, that breast is super dry. The thigh is super dry, but if you got a dry thigh, you’re in trouble. I’m trying to figure out, is this just different or also the best? You ready? I think I know. Yes ma’am. 3, 2, 1. Ah, bam. Oh, really? I really like that. But I don’t believe that’s the rotisserie chicken. I don’t know what that is. Whoa. So these are all half chicken portions. I’m, I’m just gonna say in terms of my pricing now Link, I will say you’ve chosen one of Rachel’s favorites. It is our lowest price point option from Costco. Yep. Uh, two, right? 2 92. For half a chicken, you need to buy a whole chicken, but for the, for the point of comparison. Okay. 2 92, they injected, apparently. Mm-hmm. Rhett, you have chosen the fancy option from Yardbird. $36 for a half. Chicken. What? Really? 36 for a half. Yardbird. Y’all are good. Uh, good news is, yeah, because you’ve chosen the fancy, you do get the Meal of Fortune. If you wanna just go ahead and take a peek under the, Ooh, there’s nothing under there. Well, oh, Link gets it. I got it. It’s a $2 bill for you, Rhett. We had to up, we, we went from one to $2. ’cause you know, woo. Hold on. Why does it say on this teaching children money. No, it doesn’t. That’s what it, that’s what it says on $2 bills. You just haven’t looked closely enough. Okay. It’s the dollar bill that teaches kids money. Why? Now, the first plate is our mid price point option, but it’s Zankou for 10 99. So Zankou over here with the super dried chicken. Not as good, not not great. That’s the costcu. Get the shawarma at Zankou, Swar, Schwar, schwar, shawarma. And then the last one is the high price point option. This is Rachel’s other favorite, Kismet rotisserie for $16 for half. Really good flavor on that, but they overcooked it. It’s tough. It’s tough not to do on a breast though. Where’s Boston Market? Long gone. Where is Boston Market? I haven’t seen one in years. RIP baby. This is steak frites. This is steak frite, which is not something I’ve ever said. Yeah, Rachel, when you order this, do you say steak frite? Yeah. What is that? Steak? I mean, bacon fries. It’s steak and fries. Steak fries. Frite is French. Yeah. Yeah. Bonjour. Oh yeah. You put on the accent. Yeah. [speaking questionable beginners French] Wow. And that’s more than I know. He just, he likes green beans. [Link showing off his French] I’m gonna eat. That’s a thin frite. This first one, that steak is cooked nice. And that is one shoestring of a fry. It’s loaded with garlic. That is a garlic fry for the ages. I like the littleness of them. Hmm. That’s a good steak. Ooh, that’s a good steak. I hate to be the bearer bad. Those are my favorite types of fries. The little ones? Mm-hmm. Look how overdone this steak is. Whoa. It looks like a brisket. I was told we ordered everything medium rare and then we wanted it to be the right temperature for you. They cooked it more. A little bit. A little bit. Obviously the first plate held up better. What the crap is this? A spiral. They’ve spiraled. A thick freaking steak fry. It’s a spiral cut, though. They didn’t twist it. They cut it that way. It’s got a good taste to it. Hmm. The fries are the highlight here, because that’s not as good as that. That is a scary steak. Where does he even in their hands? I like that. Yeah. Look at this steak. It’s got peppercorn pieces just all thrown on top of it. I like a good peppercorn. I’m gonna eat the top of the steak. This should get nothing but peppercorn. That’s a tender steak. How do you get your steak cooked? Usually Rachel? I’m going medium rare. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That’s the correct answer. Mm-hmm. Is that because of how you were raised? Absolutely not. My father would be ashamed to hear it. ’cause that is a well done man. And that’s how we had it house. Oh really? It was well done. Constantly. Always. I, you know, people who say that they know say that that’s not right. Yeah, this definitively true. But would you tell your daddy that? No. If that’s the way that that man wants to eat his steak, I’m gonna tell him how to live the things he’s been through. Oh yeah. If he wants a steak tough, he wants to keep chewing and chewing and chewing until his final days. He just keeps missing out. He can. That’s on him. Yeah. No, and on my family did the same thing. But I will say the people who go like blue, rare, there’s a reason that we cook steak. Right. It’s to make it digestible and the medium rare, it’s the perfect, it’s the balance of all of the, all of the motivations. I order medium because I’m a little woose. I’m just not big into steak. That is bad. What is on the steak? Spicy and weird and bad. Mm-hmm. Ooh, I won’t be going back to that. And I’m not gonna put it back on the plate. I like it was marinated in dish water. That is a horrible steak. Oh Lord. I’m sorry. And like fake smoke or something. And what are these like, oh my gosh. The fries are frozen as hell. Fake brown. They’re frozen, you said? Oh, yeah. What the hell happened to those fries? Well, I mean, they’re not, they were frozen. Now they’ve been cooked, but we can tell Yeah, they’re just horrible. If this isn’t the lowest price point, boy, eggs gonna be on our face. All I think I got a pretty, I, I, I, I think I’m, I’m, I’m locked in. Definitely locked in. What? Bam. Here you go. This one. What? Bam. Me too. Help me out. Grab my stick. Whabam it. You both chosen the fancy option, but there’s only one. Look at that. It’s another twoer. And guess what? This one’s totally real. Yeah. Yes, Rhett. You gotta be quick, this’s not for education. You hold on. You gotta be quick on what are the chances that the second one’s real and the first one’s not. Well, it’s got a great, you gotta always be on your toes fresco of the Declaration of the Independence happening. I don’t like looking desperate for money, man. Well, the fancy options from Polo Lounge. Oh, I’ve heard about the Polo Lounge. Yes. Beverly Hills. Mm-hmm. For $70. Oh, 70. That that ticket. The next one with the weird fries is our low price point option from Gelson’s Wine Bar. Have you heard of it? Oh, $13. I love the Gelson’s wine bar. What they, I love it there. So they served. Food. Fancy. These are food. They serve wine. It’s not that fancy, but they always have jeopardy on and you don’t have to tip honey. It’s in the price. Oh, I love it there. Wow. You know, it’s in the Gelson’s, it’s in the middle of the grocery store, guys. Lights are on. It’s bright and it’s a lot of dads coming in, look, taking their time, looking for things, and then sitting down with their kids and having a little glass and then heading back home. Is that what you want? That’s what my kind of time, an instant family. It’s just me and my boys. Oh. Take a look at my two. Whoa. Hell yeah. We have the high price point option, which is also Rachel’s favorite from Petit for $41. That’s a good steak, but I don’t like the price. Petit. Yeah, you’re drawn to the French, but that was French. I couldn’t think of any. That’s what I say, don’t know. Don’t dunno. See happens. And finally. The story here today, our mid price point option from Republic for $28. Um, come on y’all. Something’s going up. I’m sorry. Something’s wrong. Something happened like the steak is, is cooked correctly. It wasn’t overdone, but it’s, it’s bad meat and bad fries like the two ingredients. Fries, you shouldn’t have to pay a crap ton for, but a steak. It seems like that’s where we’re at, unfortunately. Or we could be a Gelson’s. Nothing wrong with a Gelson’s. Mm-hmm. But this is bread and butter. This is bread and butter. Mm. It’s simple. I’m excited about this choice. This is a good choice. Yeah. Because this is how I so often judge a restaurant. Yes. It’s the first thing that you’re presented with. Yes. And it can be done right and it can be done wrong. This is a darker bread. More of a wheat. These are more of an expected baguette, and you gotta do the whipped butter. If you don’t do the whipped butter, you lose points in my mind. Well, I can’t really tell if this is whipped, not dip necessarily. Whipped, but not a pat of butter. Butter’s good. Bread’s not super interesting. No, it’s just a baguette. They’re all baguettes. I don’t think the butter’s calling attention to itself, but the butter’s good. It’s not. As good as I was hoping, but it doesn’t have, like, none of them have another ingredient like truffle or something like that, which I can appreciate. This is not whipped either. You know what I’m saying though? It’s not a pat of butter. They like put butter and they put it into the thing, so it’s it’s room temp and it’s ready to be dipped. This is a richer butter. I don’t know if the bread’s better. The bread’s not as good. The butter’s got a. Almost a fruitiness to it. Is that because the cows were eating fruits on this farm? Mm. Treated well? Fruit fed. Fruit fed cow. Look at how dark this is. Rip it and dip it. Hmm. Oh, the soft butter. This is the shiniest butter. What’s that mean? Butter’s bad. Why is the butter so bad? That’s weird. Butter. What’s up with that? Butter? That’s like a hollow butter. I’m left wanting more. There’s butter. It’s like butter that middle schoolers made it like on one of those days where you make butter. Okay. You remember the butter day? I know you’re ready to choose, but I’m gonna have to take a second here, friend. Well, I’m just, I’m so disappointed in that butter. Nobody’s doing anything fancy with their butter, but you keep eating it. 3, 2, 1. I think that that’s the best. Yep. The bread is better and the butter is almost as good as that butter. Agreed. We’ve both chosen the low price point option really from Loupiotte kitchen. They know what they’re doing for $5. The one in the middle is the fancy price point option. It’s also Rachel’s favorite good butter. It also had a moment in the last round because it’s from Republic. Oh, what? For $15. Republic has redeemed themselves almost. But we didn’t choose them. $15. That’s the bread. That’s the bread and butter price. Yeah. If we just wanna think about that and then we move to our mid price point option. Tartine for 8.45. Don’t believe Tartine is known for their butter. Butter. Yeah, well they are now. Their butter is butt. Yeah. Bad butter. Y’all gotta work on that. You here I, I’m gonna let you taste that butter. Okay, well, how about give her some bread too. Oh, you can have the bread as well. Oh, thanks. And don’t make Rachel just eat straight butter. I can figure it out. I can choke it down.

We’re gonna spend one night in this tiny home. We’ll be visiting a series of hotels that– [multiple videos playing on top of each other] We moved. Oh my God. We found drugs. Oh, Rhett & Link. Do you know TV’s Rainn Wilson? I was in the office for nine seasons, three Emmy nominations, but now I work here. That was the Predator sound. Pick it up. Why are they sealing up boxes with nothing in it? Golf cold. My heart. Which of you is taller? Me. Who? Rhett. Whoa. Smelling salts. Oh my God. Five stars. Five stars. What is wrong with you? What have you been doing in your jacket? Is this a [bleep] joke to you? Oh yeah. A little pin head. You guys gotta go. Oh, you want some company? We ain’t gonna be gobbling any low. Actually, it says Book of Morgan. Oh, hey. Five stars. Shut up. I’m trying to die over here. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s worth it. Woo. Alright. I’m excited. It’s fun. It’s gonna be fun to watch in person or on the society or on YouTube. Yes. This is Shrimp fried Rice. This is shrimp fried rice. Shrimp fried rice. Hmm. So when you get fried rice, you get shrimp fried rice. Yeah. You don’t get combination. You don’t get chicken fried rice, you don’t get steak fried rice. You get shrimp fried rice. I get a little scared sometimes that those other meat get a little dry in the fried rice process. Okay. And I know the shrimp is, that’s a tricky one, but when it hits, it’s perfect. Okay. Well, we got some little shrimp, we got some medium shrimp. We got some bigger shrimp, and then we got some little shrimp again. So two little shrimps. Only one can be from a grocery. They didn’t bring the flavor on that one that’s hurting. They left the flavor on the floor. That’s hurting bad. Oh, okay. Moving along. It just tastes like a, like an unfettered shrimp. You need to fetter your shrimp a little bit. Fed ’em up. A lot better than one. Better, but I’m still not in like, no, I’m gonna talk to somebody about it. It needs to be doused in duck sauce. They still do duck sauce. Is that a redneck thing? They stopped. They got duck sauce. Right? They stopped during the pandemic, I forgot to tell you. Yeah. They stopped ’cause of you. Yep. Mm-hmm. You just soy sauce this stuff or do you duck? Uh oh. I like to do chili oil. That’s the best. That’s what I do. Yeah. Duck sauce kind of for losers like me. Um hmm. Shrimps are big, biggest We’ve seen the egg is sincere. Do I think it’s getting better just because I keep moving further away from this. There’s less peas, but there’s still substantial corns. Substantial corns. I’m missing the peas. Mm. And we’re back. We got peas, we got corns, we’ve got this looks frozen. These are the littlest shrimps. It is got flavor. At least they tried flavor. Much more flavor than the first one. None of these are great, Rachel. Yeah. Damn. This is a, you hate to hear that. I know. It’s like, but I think it’s just because it’s, it’s sauce less, I think it’s hurting because of that. Mm. We need some of that chili oil or the duck sauce. I just can’t stop talking about it. A little hoisin. A little hoisin. You can do that. Okay. 3, 2, 1. This is tough. You know what? You know what? Screw it. I’m going all the way over here. The shrimp of the best on that one. Well Link. You’ve chosen our low price point option. Taipei. Frozen shrimp, fried rice. It’s decent. 4.49. Wouldn’t you say it’s decent? They tried with the flavor, but I think they failed in every other way. Damn. And Rhett, you’re just a tiny step up into our mid price point option from Sea Dragon. Sea Dragon 13.95. Sea Dragon Ride Dragon. Working back from that. The second plate in is our fancy option from Volcano for 22.50 Volcano. What a damn. And the one you took a crap all over our high price point option, which is also Rachel’s favorite. It’s from Din Tai Fung. You hate to see it.. Din Tai Fung is so good. What happened, guys? You hate see it. You hate to see it. Oh no. Guess what you get at Din Tai Fung. What about the dumplings? Listen, shrimp dumplings. Here’s what I’m gonna tell you. I like the shrimp fried rice. I know. It’s pretty plain when I get it. I know. It’s just the simpleness that I like sometimes. That’s fair. And I like to add all of the stuff on top. You know, I think, I mean, and with a bunch of other stuff to add flavor. Yeah. Especially there when they got all that stuff. You mix on the table in the black vinegar and the, and the ginger and then, you know, you’re kind of doing the whole thing. That’s good. Okay, well we don’t have any of that, so this is what we have for you. Just without all that. Well, you know, that’s okay. Naked. You’re in a world of hurting. Yeah. And I guess I’ve never done that. Yeah. Now I think about it. Going to Din Tai Fung naked. You never should. I’m not gonna D ty fun naked. Yeah, because you’d be waiting for two hours just out there in the lobby naked. Alright. Thank you Rachel for, uh, letting us figure out how fancy your tastes are. Thank you. I’m very full. Ah, come on. Where’s the D again? Well, it would be under, uh, the one that was fancy. It’s on there, the second one where you taking the barcodes? Yeah. There’s a special surprise. Yeah, and it’s, and, and Rachel gets both because you guys did. It’s a real $2 bill and a fake one. Oh.
