GMM 2869: Frozen vs. Fast vs. Fancy Food Taste Test

How fancy are the taste buds of an action comedy star? Let’s talk about that! [Funky intro music] Good Mythical Summer! And please welcome our guest, you know her from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Encanto, and as one of the stars of Twisted Metal, season two out now on Peacock, it’s Stephanie Beatriz. Give us one of these and then we’ll do this. You wanna that? Oh, I shoulda have done one of these. Oh, oh, okay. Nice, nice. The evolution. That’s a little twist. I like it. You’re welcome. Twisted Metal. It’s a show about the Apocalypse. Now, um, if you could only choose one food. Mm. To stockpile for the apocalypse, what would it be? Oh, stockpile. Yeah. Only one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stockpile is tricky. But it’s always fresh. It’s, let’s say it’s always fresh. Just every time you use for it’s fresh, always fresh is gonna be pizza because it’s all the, all the things that you need. You gotta a little fat, you gotta a little carbohydrate, you gonna gonna a little protein. That is not one of the things of yours that we’re eating today, though. I know. That’s why I said it. Oh, okay. I’m mixing it up. We got pizza out of the way. We’re gonna get to your other favorites. I can’t wait. It is time for Naked Food. Naked Stephanie Beatriz edition. Naked and no, no people will be naked. We’d have to blur out the good stuff anyway, so what’s the point? Oh wow. Okay boys and girl, throughout today’s game, Stephanie’s favorite foods will be served at low, mid, and fancy price levels. Each round, you’ll all pick your favorite, and by the end we’ll find out how expensive your taste buds are. Up first. These are ground beef tacos. These are ground beef tacos. Girl, I can’t wait. So out of all the tacos– Can we start? Yes. Yes. You had tell us why you’ve gone with such a classic. You said it, you nailed it. Classic, right? You give an answer. We got a flour. Oh no. The ground beef’s gone flying. Um, the classic flour tortilla. A good flour tortilla, you can taste it right away. A bad flour tortilla. I love that. You can also taste that right away. The jalapeños. Nice. Nice. Oh, well, let’s see in here. This one has pickled carrots. As well as pickled jalapeno and cabbage. And I will say that Stephanie’s purported favorite taco is up here. So. Now I like this first one. Mm. What do you think? I do too. I do too. That’s a, I like that thin tortilla. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Very well seasoned beef. Very well seasoned beef. That’s another really good, my mother would kill me. I’m talking with my mouth full. Well, it’s a really another, she’s not here. A great sign of a good. Ground beef taco. Mm-hmm. A, a great sign of a good flour tortilla as you were getting at is some perceived– Blistering? Well, blistering, but then almost a transparency at parts. It’s kind of looking at a old person’s skin. Sure. That’s when, you know, that’s what I should tell you. Sure. Yeah. This one doesn’t have that. Sure. I feel like you’ve had too many of these meals and maybe your, um, metaphors and similes are maybe they need a little work. Old people making you hungry. Oh yeah. I don’t wear, I mean, I didn’t say horny. Get off my back. Well, I, some old people are very sexy. That’s true. You know what I mean? Okay, fine. Get back on my back. Richard Gear. Richard Gear. Richard Gear anybody? You know? That one’s also not bad, but it’s not this one. Well, that’s like, oh, you, that’s drunk food. Oh. You know what I mean? Like, this is okay if you’ve had like a lot to drink there. There’s not a lot that I think is bad. I’m, I mean, clearly this one’s better. I’m just saying wait, I’m gonna wait. I’m gonna wait. But the beef, the beef is, um, juicier Grier. But this beef is super special here. It’s, no, now what’s happening here. Oh, interesting. Okay. Nothing looks like really bottom of the barrel. I mean, I don’t know, this flour tortilla, it’s not, I wouldn’t, this feels, yeah, that feels. It feels a little, um, it’s dollar store tortilla. Ah. See that aging right there? That’s good. Mm. That’s good. I know. Is there a smok? I know that tortilla anywhere. Is there a smokiness in that meat? I know what this is. I like this better than like carne asada in a taco. I shouldn’t probably eat too much ’cause we have a lot of food to get through, but I think– Just grind it up. Mm-hmm. Let me have it, hold on. This is, this is not easy. This is not easy. This is not easy. To me it was easy. But did you go back to this one and then go back to that one? Nope, I don’t need to. I had too much of this. That was very good. You know we have our very own Stephanie? Do you? And that’s what we do call her, Stevie. Okay is trying to pick our favorites. She’s the one we’re talking. Yeah. 3, 2, 1. I ended up going back. Yes. Yeah. You know what you picked, the three of you know what you picked, didn’t you? Don’t you? No. I don’t know. Come on, Stephanie. I believe, I believe this is a home state. That’s right. Oh, dang. Yeah, that’s right. They’re so only the best tacos in LA. Uh, that’s our mid price point level. I love home homestead. $5.50 per taco. But I’ve never had the ground beef. They switched from a picadillo to a ground beef and I don’t understand that switch. Do you, Stephanie, did you order the picadillo and then? Um, you know, I believe it was a cost effective switch for them. Mm-hmm. Okay. Um, but you’d have to ask the staff there personally. Okay. I’ll shoot off an email. We will do it. Uh, the first plate is our fancy option from Sky’s Gourmet Tacos. That’s a good taco for 6.71 per taco. Okay. And then the one in the middle is our low price point option from… Taco Bell for 3.24. Yeah. You said drunk food. You were all over. You can get that stuff at Taco Bell. Jalapenos. Yes. Link. Link and, and cabbage. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yes. I didn’t know they had that. Is that what is, what would you pay for that though? Like, you know what I mean? This isn’t real, a real bargain. A dollar. This isn’t, how much were these? 3.24. Yeah. Oh each. So for like just a bit more, you could have this delicious homemade homestyle. Full of love. I sound like an ad. I’m not, this is not an ad, but if you’re ever visiting Los Angeles, please to go to Homestate. We love homestate. Get the queso too. This is an everything bagel. This is an everything bagel. And the specifics are to your liking. Excellent. Excellent. I can see that We’ve got tomato. We’ve got some onions. Some of it looks pickled, some of it doesn’t. Okay. Interesting, interesting, interesting. Do you know how my friend feels about tomatoes? Thank you. Not good. I’ll tell you. Doesn’t love him. Doesn’t love ’em. That’s right. Uh, cucumbers either, right? Yep. He doesn’t love those either’s, right? Yeah, he’s about to. He’s about to desecrate your favorite bagel right in front of your face. Listen, don’t worry, he did it to another Stephanie one time. Listen, listen. He been get letters. He knows what career he chose. All right. He could have left this a long time ago, but he is chosen to stick it out. Uhhuh. Interesting. What and what’s up with this tomato? Is that fancy or something? That’s called an heirloom tomato. Heirloom boy. Okay. And then I feel like you rejected tomatoes based on a bad experience, but heirloom came along and you totally missed it. I’m gonna eat some cucumbers, but not all of them because I’m on the fence now. A lot of tomatoes have been treated so they don’t like grow fungus uhhuh while they’re being shipped from places, so they don’t taste like anything. They’ve treated them so the sugar is like not there anymore. Ethylene gas, I don’t know. Look it up. Google a low. That my dad used to say, yummy, this is, this is really good. Mm-hmm. I like everything on the bagel more than I like the bagel itself. Whoa. What? Thems fighting words. I don’t know. I think I was just expecting a little bit more flavor from the bagel itself. Mm. Okay. Okay. We’ll see where we go from here. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Well, we’re gonna go here. This is a bigger bagel. Um, look at damn cucumbers. That’s a lot of queen cheese. That feels…. Excessive? A little bit, obscene, doesn’t it? I can’t even get to the tomato. You know what I mean? I can’t find the tomato. Cry about it, Link. I’m crying. What am I gonna do? Okay. Hmm. I have to, um, you know what, they deconstructed this one. That shouldn’t happen. Well see. I feel the exact option about this. You mean? Oh, you love this. I like the bagel. I don’t like all the stuff inside of it. This bagel iss really nice. I I’m, I don’t think I’ve ever had that kind of bagel before. I’m missing– I’m enjoying it. Those cucumbers in that heirloom tomato over here. Okay. Is that what toasted did I see in the deconstruction process? That’s toasted. Okay. It’s a little toasted. I just wanted to, you know, we gotta state all these things. Thank you. We gotta be fair. I don’t think the bagels is flavorful. I think the exact opposite. It has less of everything. Wanna fight? I mean, not anymore than we normally do. There’s a lot more garlic on that. Yeah, but it’s not necessarily, it’s denser and like chewier. Let’s try this. This one’s just the seasoning on the outside just feels stronger to me. This one’s the prettiest and the grittiest. This feels, look at that squishy, like, I don’t know if I want my bagel to feel like this, although maybe I should shut up and eat it. Oh, this bagel has two tops locked up. That’s an airport bagel. Sorry. No offense to you, bagels. Hmm? Or to me? I don’t like it. It’s two tops. I like these two. I think you’re right. I like the fillings in this one a lot. It tastes like I’ve had it before. I don’t know if I’ve ever had this and I’m really enjoying it. You can only pick one. I know, Stevie! 3, 2, 1. I came back to this one. And I just liked it more. Okay. This, we talked about this. This is the only thing we talked about backstage was, uh, swaying Stephanie from her big old choice, but I. I agree with the toppings comment and you both picked that choice, the mid price point option from Maury Bagel in Silverlake. Okay. For 8.50. Link, you picked the low price point option from Boy Chick Bagels. Boy Chick. Boy Chick, me, I’m a boy chick. Uh, for 7 25. And then the last one is our fancy option from Saint Roth Bagels for 10.75. So they’re so fancy that they cut off the bottom of the bagel and just throw it away. I think so. I can tell you that seems wasteful. Yeah. Really excessive. Geez. They donate the bottom of the bagel. I’d like to think so. I mean, to who? Well, they, nobody liked ’em here, so it’s not worth it. I, I, Maurice is really a solid, delicious bagel. This is a croissant. This is a [french accent] quasaunt. Yeah, it is. God, look at these. We got all types here. We got the big and dark. We’ve got the big and shiny. Careful. Round and shiny, and we’ve got the matte finish. Yeah. Flacid. Those. Those can’t be good. The timing care. The timing care that went into these two. Look at that. Oh, at that. It layers. It’s gorgeous. Look at that. That’s so many layers of butter. And like, listen to that. Oh yeah, baby. Oh wow. That is insane. Yeah. That’s insane. Well, I just did what you can never do when you’re like out at a coffee shop having a croissant. You can’t be like, Ugh, like an animal. Mm. Lay it out. Get all your animal tendencies out. Oh, here without scratching claw and then, Hmm. And there’s nothing on that. And it’s just good as is. Flour and butter, you know what I mean? Again and again and again. I really feel for people that can’t eat gluten. And you know what? You can hide a key in there. You hide a lot of things in there. Just put it at, put in your front yard. Put it at your door with a little key. That’s a delightful, not anybody who shows up at your house knows the keys and the croissant. Oh gosh. Thwarted. My only criticism is that– It’s dark looking. It feels like it’s cooked a little bit more on the outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it feels caramelized almost. It seems like that’s what they were going for. Mm-hmm. But let’s try that. The inside wasn’t hurting at all. So this is much less flaky like that…. That one was making all kinds of noise as we tore it apart. This one’s silent. Beautiful though. Okay. Hmm. Well, can’t hide a key in there. ’cause I got an Audi. You’re married, aren’t you? Married. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All the way married. How does she deal with– Full force. Your jokes. Is she, does she laugh at ’em? No. Uhuh, she doesn’t. She doesn’t. She doesn’t partake. She tunes out. She tunes out. This is pretty good. It’s not as like exciting as that. Yeah. This one is way, I think way. That’s the one to beat. Look at it. It’s like the size of a baby’s head. Yeah. That’s crazy. Okay. If you don’t watch out. This could be Costco sneaking up on y’all. It could be. I think if anything’s Costco. It’s this one. Look at that. That is a, hold on. You just, what is this? Hold on. Did you just pollute that plate with– You polluted the plate. Wait, well, got a little, that little animal over here. This one feels like a womp womp. Yeah, like that’s the noise it would make. Although I’d eat it. Oh yeah. I mean it is, it’s like. But this one could– That’s the thing with the croissant. Most of the time it’s never gonna be like, this is so bad that I can’t finish it. Right. This one. Right. I, I don’t think I’ve ever not finished one except like in this circumstance. This one tastes buttererer… Buttery or than that one. No, this is margarine. You know how I can tell? Because where’s the flake? Where’s the flake? You guys? Yeah. Where’s the flake? It’s not here. It’s not a bad point. Okay. Okay. You ready? So ready. Hold on. Okay. 3, 2, 1. Yeah. Uh, yeah, of course. I’m about to say no. Come on. Okay. You have all chosen Lodge Bread Company for 6.02. It is our fancy option. It’s the first time anyone’s picked Fancy today. Okay. Uh, which means the first two look under the plate for the Meal of Fortune gets the prize. And Rhett wins…. Oh, I did. I, I definitely take it. And there’s a special prize today. Oh. Hi. Oh my God. This is Jade. This is my dog. Oh my God, Jade. Yes. You get to keep Jade. Aw, wonderful. I always wanted a second dog. Okay, Jade. She doesn’t like my key in things, jokes either. Hi. You’re so nice. You’re so nice. Oh, you’re so nice. The other croissants, the middle one is our mid price point option from Crust Artisan for 4.95. Okay. And the last one is our low price point option from Pavilions for 1.75. You okay? She growled. What happened? Your little back got under the table. Oh, she felt trapped. You felt trapped. It’s okay. You okay? This is New York Cheesecake. This is New York Cheesecake. Great choice. Wow. I’m excited about this. This is a little one. I mean, I feel like I might eat half of it with my bite, but I’ll let y’all go first. Yeah, you better get in there first. She, she’s a little lacking on the, on the outside bit. You know what I mean? I like lacking on the back. You know, the back. I like a little more crust. This one’s also lacking on the back end. All three of them don’t have the crust on the back, which I prefer. Hmm. A little cloying, as they say. Uh, this could be a grocery store. Yeah, this could be a grocery store that’s giving grocery store. Hmm. And cheap grocery store. Hmm. Oh really? Yeah. Could be. What, what are we talking, um, what’s that one up in Big Bear? It’s like Food Guys or something like that. Big bear, big bear. Food guys. I don’t know. I am ready. I’m ready. Yeah. Go for it. So when you were filming this, Twisted Metal, Mm-hmm. You were, you’re, you’re in the car going like 80 miles an hour. No. Like these, these, mm-hmm. In costume, sweating up a storm. That’s really good. This one’s nice. I mean, here’s the thing, like those cars inside those cars, they have to capture dialogue and you can’t run the AC when you’re capturing dialogue. So like all of season one we shot in New Orleans, it was like 104 degrees. We’re racing these cars, trying to not you know, wreck each other or the cameras and you’re actually talking to each other. You’re not actually driving though. Sometimes we are driving. Oh yeah, Anthony Mackey does a lot of his own driving. Oh, I do some of mine now, a little more now than I did first season. Some a little braver. Okay. Um, but then they also have professional stunt drivers or like ex NASCAR guys and ex like racers and stuff. They build a thing on the top of the car that’s called the pod, and then they, they. Funnel all the stuff to drive the car on top of the car. So there’s a dude on top, like there’s a top, the guy on top in a cage. Kind of like a farmer on a tractor. It’s really cool. And then you’re inside, but you have to memorize which way the– You have to know. Have to know where that’s if we’re going right. You gotta look like you know what you’re doing. ’cause you’re in and they’re capturing all that dial live. No ADR? Very little. Oh, very, very little. By the way, this a great– What’s that? Great. That’s great. Loved it. Get the cheesecake. Enjoyed it. It’s really good. Um, interested in this. You first, okay. Because I don’t know if you want the, the tip of the spear or the, the back. I want the tip ’cause I don’t like the back of this one. It looks little kids watch the show. All right. Link. You have experience with a stunt driver. Hmm. Yeah. When he totaled that Toyota. Yeah. Yeah. What happened? Well, they were paying me. You shot a commercial for Toyota and you wrecked the car. Yeah. Yes. Did they air the commercial? Oh, yeah. That was part of it. Wow. In a way, I think they aired it. You really win through life, don’t you, bud? Yeah, yeah, exactly. You are really doing it. It’s all working out for you. Yeah, I, and I appreciate it. It’s called Failing Forward. I love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You total the Camry. Like lean in, but lean so far in that you wreck a car. Yeah. Yeah. How do you total Camry to, aren’t there like a tank? Well, I was asking the same thing. Go over a speed bump very fast. Wow. That’s all it takes. So you blew the tires out and then wrecked the car. I, I think the axle was bent. Sure, sure. The axle was, oh, you mean before or after the speed bump? Oh, very much before. Anthony and I were in a car, we were, we had to go around a corner very, very quickly and stop in front of a brick wall, real brick wall. All the, almost all the sets were real practical sets. Season two, and there was a stunt driver on the top of the car, and as we started to turn the corner at. You know, 60 miles an hour. We felt the car shutter and then the sun driver didn’t take the turn, kept going, and they were like, what happened? Cut. And the driver from the top, we could hear him, he was like, the brakes are out. So Anthony and I are looking at each other like, Hey man, how are you doing? Saved your life. He said, he saved our lives because he’s such a good driver that he felt the brakes go. And knew what was going on and knew well enough to not, you know ho honestly, he probably saved his own, but more than ours, but himself, he would’ve just right on the wall himself. He’s so high. Yeah. We ready? Okay. Yes. Hold on. Oh yeah, I’m ready. I’m ready. I’m just looking. Cheesecake. 2, 1. Yeah. Coming back to this, I think that this one, I don’t know guys, I actually, that one’s fluffy, but this one is the cheesecake taste to it. Specific taste. Yeah. This was really good. This. It looks fancy. There’s something fancy about the top of it, right? I just think that the cheesecake flavor’s better. I liked it. Well, the middle option is our mid price point option from east side cheesecakes for $50 for a whole cheesecake and Link, that’s middle. Middle price, $50 for a whole cheesecake. Yes. Because our, what’s the world coming to? Our fancy cost is $75 for a cheesecake from Sweet Lady Jane. And that’s what Link picked. Yes. Yeah. And let’s bring out that. Uh, prize for ya. Come here, Jade. Okay. This is, no, this is my dog. Now my dog has bitten Link. Hopefully he’ll do it again. Hi, love. Hi. Hi. Are you okay? Are you okay? Oh my God, you remember me? Oh my God. I really wanna get my face right in yours but if you bite me, I won’t be able to do, uh, my job at on tv. That’s a sweetheart though. He really is. Oh my God. You’re so nice. Look at, look at you. He’s looking at both of you different with different eyes right now. Yeah, they’re, you’re right. Yeah. How you doing? Sean? Goof. You doing good? You wanna hold him? Yeah. Hi buddy. There you go.
