- How hard can fancy
food styling really be?
- Let's talk about that.
(bright music)
(singers vocalizing)
(head bursting)
(canister hissing)
(Rhett thudding and whooshing)
(bowling ball rumbling)
(pins clattering)
(flames whooshing)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- Talking about food styling,
we're gonna experience it firsthand today.
But my version of "food styling"
typically just means putting smilk-
- Smilk?
- On top of the cereal.
- Oh, you're calling it smilk now.
(Link laughing)
- That was an accident.
- I was wondering when
that would catch on.
- That was an accident.
Thanks for hovering over that
to see if there's a
little popup of apology.
I'm sorry.
- Yeah, well, that's not
what I was looking for.
(Link laughing)
But I'm glad, I'm glad you did.
- High-end food styling can be a true art.
- Yeah, let's see a couple of pics here.
- I call this one Meat Sunshine.
- You don't call it anything,
you didn't make this.
- Next one.
I call this one Islands in the Meat.
Meats in the Stream.
- Okay, well, make a choice, bro.
(crew laughing)
- And I call this one
Green Slug Crawling over Tongues of Steak.
(crew laughing)
- Okay, well, you've made it all worse.
When I think the idea
is to make it better,
which the thing is, I got
to be honest with you,
most of the time I feel like people
have put the extra time into the styling.
Something ends up faltering
in the taste sometimes.
- Yeah.
- Maybe I'm wrong,
but that's not what we're doing today.
We're just saying,
what if we could turn food
styling into a competition?
So that's what we did.
(bright music)
- [Jenna] Y'all are
trying to recreate a plate
of highly stylized food made
by the Mythical Kitchen.
You have all the tools and ingredients.
All you have to do is follow
my step-by-step instructions
better than the other guy.
- Oh, that's all we have to do?
- Does he also have a plate over there?
- [Jenna] He also has
all the ingredients-
- Prove it!
- [Jenna] And everything he needs.
- Oh, because I can just see his face,
but I can't see his plate.
- [Jenna] Yeah.
I will be scoring these rounds out of 10.
I will not be telling you
what the dish is though.
So hopefully you can
figure it out on your own
as you go along.
- All right, Jenna.
- Ready for step one?
- Sure.
- [Jenna] All right.
- Before you give us the step,
let's gentlemen's agreement.
- So we don't get to see a picture of it?
- Yeah, of course not.
- [Jenna] At the end
you'll see a picture of it.
- Gentleman's agreement.
- And then we'll see
how well you did.
- Are we allowing repeat steps?
Like can you say that again, or no?
- What do you think, Jenna?
- [Jenna] Maybe I can say
it one more time perhaps
if it's a longer.
- We have to agree on a repeat.
- [Jenna] Look at the panel.
Look at the panel.
- You have to agree.
- Okay.
Gentleman's agreement.
(crew laughing)
- I don't like that there's a black.
I don't know what part
of your body that is.
- Just shake it.
(crew laughing)
Just shake it.
- What part of the body is that?
- Just grab the curtain.
- It's his hand, you're fine.
- Grab the curtain.
- [Jenna] What else would it?
You know what, don't answer.
- Okay.
- I'm sitting down.
(crew laughing)
- All right.
- Step one.
- [Jenna] Step one.
Place the burrata in the small glass bowl.
Carve a circle a half
inch wider in diameter
than a silver dollar in
the top of the burrata
like you would a pumpkin.
Remove 50% of the stracciatella.
(crew member laughing)
- I think, hey, you wanna
get her to repeat that?
(both laughing)
Oh, yeah.
Because.
- I mean, I though you
were gonna go step by step,
but then you just told us six steps.
- Yeah.
- [Jenna] Well, that is the first step.
- Okay, say again.
(crew laughing)
- [Jenna] Place the burrata
in a small glass bowl.
Congratulations.
Carve a circle, a half
inch wider in diameter
than a silver dollar in
the top of the burrata
like you would a pumpkin.
- Okay.
- Then remove 50%.
Remove 50% of the stracciatella.
(plate clinks)
- 50% of the stracciatella?
- [Jenna] Stracciatella, or stracciatella.
(crew laughing)
- Good God.
- [Jenna] If you wanted
me to put an accent on it,
I apologize.
- I did not know.
- Did you know that this is what they did?
- This is how you made cottage
cheese inside a burrata!
- Done.
Move on, step two.
Don't wait on him.
If he's slow, it's part of it.
(crew laughing)
- [Jenna] Okay.
Step number two.
Slice thin cuts of cherry tomato
and place them along the inner edge
of the carved perimeter of the burrata,
alternating with small basil leaves.
- Don't repeat that.
Ever.
(crew laughing)
- [Link] So you don't wanna repeat, huh?
Okay.
- I want a sharper knife.
- Trying to use that against me.
This stracciatella is so gooey
and it's all over the place.
- Yeah.
I mean, I got a knife
that won't cut a tomato.
Just so you know,
for cheating purposes,
I have the same knife.
- This is the first time
I've ever cut a tomato.
Oh, look.
I hate this.
I can't cut it.
- [Rhett] I figured it out.
- [Link] Did you get a new knife?
- I did, but it's the same as
the other knife, but I have-
- [Jenna] There's a technique.
- I adopted a technique.
- [Jenna] There is a technique
for tomato slicing, yeah.
- Well, how would I know what that is?
(crew laughing)
- I mean, I didn't know
what it was, I just-
- Is it like this?
- My technique is not great.
- [Link] Stab and rotate?
- [Jenna] Yeah, this isn't
supposed to be the hard one.
- [Rhett] Yeah.
- [Link] In an effort to not
have to keep cutting tomatoes,
I'm just gonna use.
- Okay.
I'm having doubts about
the size of my hole.
(Link chuckles softly)
- Yeah, familiar territory.
- Yeah.
So I'm going to see the doctor. (chuckles)
And that's the first thing I'm gonna say.
- I have doubts about-
- Physician's assistant comes in and says,
"Well, what are we seeing you for today?"
"Well, I have doubts about
the size of my hole."
You know, I had a physician's assistant.
I really like the physician's assistant,
but I will say I like
to know when it's a PA
and when it's a doctor,
just for my own purposes.
- PAs try harder.
- And I had a PA
and I just though she was
a doctor the whole time
until I had to get some
records released for the cops,
I mean, just for another doctor.
And that was when I found
out, "Oh, she's a PA."
- All right.
Now what?
- [Jenna] Step three,
season the burrata with salt and pepper.
- Season the burrata with salt and pepper.
(salt rattling)
Oh, yeah, look at that.
(Link chuckles softly)
I know how to put salt
and pepper on things.
Anything that's like
(crew laughing)
a light color,
it just needs those black specks, my man.
- Okay.
- [Jenna] Step four, flood the
white plate with olive oil.
(plate scrapes)
- Flood.
(plate rattles)
I mean, do we need to sound
some sort of a siren before we.
(crew imitates siren blaring)
(Link imitates siren blares)
There you go.
Flood it.
- [Rhett] Use it all, right?
- Flood it.
Flood it.
- Flood.
(bottle pops)
Why is yours making such weird noises?
- 'Cause it's.
(bottle hisses)
(crew laughing)
(Link chuckles)
'Cause I'm new to this.
- [Jenna] Step five, transfer the burrata
on the left top half of the plate.
- Left top half.
And I'm gonna go from.
- How do you do that?
- Left the top half.
- How do you get it out?
Your left or my left?
- Your left.
- Okay.
- I feel like I've just
got to go handsies on this.
- Oh, my God.
- Then I got to go spoonies.
- He's going handsies.
- You said which left?
- [Jenna] Your left.
- [Link] Oh, God, stay
together, stay together.
- [Jenna] Step six, decorate
the other half of the plate
with balsamic glaze in a
style inspired by a ladybug.
(Link scoffs)
- Okay.
Clarifying question.
Did the ladybug come up with this?
- Oh, that worked.
(crew laughing)
- If I was like, "Link, you
inspired me to do this,"
it would be like he did something
or is it like looks like a ladybug?
- [Jenna] Inspired by the
appearance of a ladybug.
- Okay, all right, well,
then thanks for clarifying.
- [Jenna] You're welcome.
- Inspired by the what of a ladybug?
- [Rhett] The appearance of a lady bug.
- Oh.
(crew laughing)
Whoo, whoo.
Whoo.
Whoo.
Whoo.
Whoo.
Whoo.
- I actually feel excellent about that.
(crew laughing)
I didn't know you could do such a thing
with balsamic vinegar.
- Me neither.
- I could have been drawing
at macaroni and grill all this time.
(crew laughing)
- [Crew Member] They give
you crayons when you come in.
- Yeah.
(all laughing)
- I've always been drawing there.
And it's at the bottom.
It went to the bottom.
- It sunk.
- [Jenna] Finally, finish
by artistically garnishing
the burrata with flower petals.
- [Link] Oh, should it be here though?
What I'm gonna do is just
a little bit of this.
- Last flower.
Okay.
- [Jenna] Why don't you go ahead
and reveal the plates to each other first.
(curtain rustles)
- Oh, my ladybug's a
lot bigger than yours.
All of the pieces on top of my burrata
are bigger than yours.
Where is your tomato?
- It's inside there.
I though it was supposed
to be inside the rim,
like you get inside.
- Well, that's a big difference.
- So is it on top or is it inside?
- And where's the ladybug, dude?
- Well, it looked perfect
and then it fell down
and all the dots went into each other.
You see how the dots moved over?
- Very abstract.
- When you go very small,
that's what happens.
- [Jenna] All right.
Why don't you all reorient your
plates facing the audience?
- I'm nervous about that.
- And we will now reveal
what it's supposed to look
like from the Mythical Kitchen.
- That's not a ladybug.
(crew laughing)
- Well, it's inspired by one.
- Those are just dots.
- Inspired.
- It's one that got blown up by something.
(crew laughing)
- And why did that burrata
get busted in half?
- [Jenna] Not all burratas
are created equal.
- Well, the tomatoes are on
the inside, but they're not.
I went around the inside as opposed
to just a stack of them on the inside.
- [Jenna] You did, yes,
but I'm concerned about
the size of your hole.
- Yeah.
- Yeah,
that's why I got to talk to my PA.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
- [Jenna] I had to deduct a
point for the size of your hole.
I think it needed to be a little bigger,
but I feel like you both
did really, really well.
So out of 10,
Rhetts, I think I'm gonna
give you a seven on this.
(bell dings)
- Okay, I'll take it.
- [Jenna] And Link.
- Lot of empty oil space there though.
- [Jenna] Yes, because of the
empty oil space on Rhetts,
Link, I wanna give you an eight.
(Link chuckles)
- Can I eat?
- Still very close.
(upbeat music)
(air whooshes)
- [Jenna] Let's begin your instructions
for plate number two.
- Yes.
- Shrimp.
- [Jenna] All right.
- [Rhett] Do you also have shrimp?
- No, I don't have any shrimp.
Do you have a banana?
(crew laughing)
- I have like an old crusty one, yeah.
- [Jenna] Step one, place
a square piece of parchment
in the center of your plate.
Dust green powder along the
top left corner of the paper
in order to create a triangular
negative space imprint
and then remove the paper.
- I'm glad that you said green powder
because you've got to
call this something else.
- [Link] Mm, look at that.
- [Rhett] Is this a flood of green powder?
(crew member laughs)
- This is cool.
- Dust green powder.
- What is this green powder?
Is it tastable?
It has to be, right?
- It's probably like some
kind of like chlorella
or something like that.
- It's tasteless.
Chlorella de ville.
(crew laugh)
Chlorella?
- I don't think I'm saying it right,
but there is some sort of.
It looks like chlorella, but it's not.
- So now is the moment of truth.
Oh, my goodness.
(crew member laughs)
Look at what I.
(crew member laughs)
I don't know why y'all are
laughing, I'm impressed.
(crew laughing)
I'm impressed.
- [Rhett] Oh, God.
- [Link] I mean, I got to get rid of this.
- [Rhett] Not great.
- Got to get rid of this.
Okay.
(plate thuds)
Oh.
Whoops.
What's next?
- [Jenna] Step number two,
starting at the center of the plate,
create a cocktail sauce spiral
that ends two to three fingers distance
from the vertex within the green powder.
(crew laughing)
- Two to three centimeters?
- [Jenna] Two to three fingers distance.
- Okay.
- I think I remember what a vertex is.
- Got to prime that a little bit.
Okay, I know what I'm working with now.
- [Rhett] That could have
been done better, right?
That could have been done better.
- [Link] Oh, God.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no.
- A spiral.
So two to three fingers from the vertex.
- I got to fill in the places
where it didn't plop right.
Hopefully that'll be
covered up by something.
- [Rhett] Like a shrimp.
- Do the chefs hand stuff off
to other people to do this
or it's typically the same person?
- [Jenna] There's a team.
- So I could be on this team
and still never have to cook
'cause I think I have a gift.
- You could be on the squirt team.
- You could be on my team.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.
- The squirt and sprinkle
team is what they call it.
(crew laughing)
(Link chuckles)
- Number one squirt boy. (chuckles)
(crew laughing)
First chair of the squirt team.
(Jenna laughs)
- [Jenna] On the side of the plate,
opposite the green powder,
place three small mounds
of grated horseradish on a
horizontal plane, evenly spaced.
- Horizontal plane.
- Horizontal plane.
Okay.
(Rhett sniffs)
Yeah.
- Horseradish?
(knife scraping)
Did you.
- Horses love it.
- [Link] It's the radish for horses.
- Well, I don't wanna
give false information.
If you've got a horse,
don't feed it horseradish.
We don't actually know.
- Based on what I'm
hearing from Rhett side,
I do guess this is the
horseradish, even though.
Yeah, I guess it does smell like a horse.
- Well, what else would it be, the lemon?
(crew laughing)
(Rhett chuckles)
- Well, yeah.
- I mean.
I don't think I've ever seen
horseradish in this form.
- [Jenna] Yeah, do not
feed horseradish to horses.
Can't confirm, poisonous.
- Well, why in the hell they name it that?
That feels dumb.
- You can't feed horseradish to a horse?
- How many people have
had a starving horse
and had nothing but horseradish
lying around and be like,
"Well, this is perfect." (chuckles)
- [Jenna] Well, it wouldn't
be starving anymore.
- Yeah, okay.
- 'Cause it would be dead.
- That's true.
Hey, that's dark, Jenna.
(crew laughing)
- So, horizontal plane.
- I mean, a horizontal plane
in my world is just a line, Link.
- (sighs) I've got
horseradish on my final plate.
(Link blows)
Oh, gosh.
I don't wanna blow the green stuff.
I wanna blow the white stuff.
- I know you don't.
(crew laughing)
Not on this show.
(crew laughing)
- All right.
I don't think I've left enough
room for the horseradish, so.
Oh, yeah.
- All right, Rhett's ready.
(crew laughing)
- Next step.
- What do you say
when something's ready to
move on to the next step
in chef parlance?
- Corner.
(crew laughing)
- Nicole?
- [Nicole] I think we say,
I haven't worked in a
kitchen in a long time,
but "Up," (chuckles) maybe "Up."
- (chuckles) Up.
(plate clinks)
- Up.
- [Jenna] Here we go, next.
Halfway between the green
powder and the horseradish,
create a line of four
shrimps oriented head to tail
in an undulating line.
- In an undulating line.
Okay.
I think I wanna go like that.
And then I think I wanna go.
- I mean, this is an undulation
if I've ever seen one.
(crew member chuckles)
- Oh, my goodness.
Like that.
And then I'm going to go like-
- That's so undulating.
- And I want that to stop right there.
Oh, okay.
My eyes are burning, boy.
- Up.
- Are your eyes burning up?
- Nope.
- [Jenna] (chuckles) Create
three lemon rind twists.
You can use the bamboo skewer to help.
- And what about this thing?
- Hold on, what'd you say?
Lemon rind twists?
- [Jenna] That is exactly what I said.
- All right.
- Well, why'd you tell us a hint?
- [Jenna] What do you mean?
- I'm not gonna complain.
- I don't understand-
- If I'm getting a hint.
- Oh, how do you do this
without hurting yourself?
- [Jenna] That's a hint
I'm not gonna give you.
(crew laughing)
- Oh, look at that.
Lemon rind twist using a bamboo.
So I wonder, does it go out through that?
How would I twist this?
- [Rhett] I think I went
in the wrong direction
on this lemon.
- Twist.
I don't know how to do it with the bamboo,
but this right here kind of works.
All right, so I've got one there.
- Okay, where do they go?
- [Jenna] Finally, place
one lemon twist near
either end of the shrimp arrangement
and one near the middle.
Space the twist so they
reinforce the arc created
by the shrimp.
- Okay.
So they reinforce the arc
created by the shrimp.
- Why not?
Why not, Rhett?
Why not do what you just did?
- I don't know.
I can't remember how many you said.
- Good, I would not
request a repeat of that.
- Oh, shoot, oh, shoot.
- [Crew Member] Are you okay?
- I just dropped it on my.
- Good.
This feels good to me.
I don't know what just
happened, but it sounds good.
- All of this goes away,
and then I turn this around like that.
- Are you turned?
- Yes.
(curtain rustles)
Oh.
I mean, we are certainly
two peas in different pods.
I got a little green triangle.
You got a big green triangle.
- Big green triangle.
- It was three lemons.
- But you did the lemons on each shrimp,
and then you did lines of
horseradish as if it were coke.
(crew laughing)
- It said horizontal.
- On a horizontal plane.
I just was like, "Isn't that just a line?"
- But you did dollops,
and your shrimp is not
ending at the dollops.
I think your line is this way
and it should be that way.
That's what I think.
- Yeah, the horse radish one
was three small mounds
on a horizontal plane.
- Oh.
- [Jenna] But it's okay.
Let's go ahead
and see what your plate
should have looked like.
- Okay.
- Oh.
- You were exactly wrong with
the direction of your shrimp.
I was half wrong with the
direction of my shrimp.
My lemon twists are
relatively well placed.
- How do you get lemon strips that thin?
I guess we should have
chopped that lengthwise, huh?
- [Jenna] Mm-hm.
- I actually think the size of
my green triangle is correct.
It's just not as dark as it needs to be.
- Yeah, mine was very dinky.
- And my mounds are nice.
- Boy, your mounds are nice.
They are nice.
- [Jenna] You all have pretty
much said what I was tallying
as well as we are going along.
So Rhett, I feel like you really
did a great job with this.
There were a couple little things,
but overall, I wanna give you an eight.
I think that's solid.
- Yeah.
- I'll take an eight.
- Your only problem is that
your lemons were too thick.
- Yeah, thick, I'm a
thick lemon kind of guy.
- Which mine are obviously that as well.
- [Jenna] Link, you took
a bit of artistic liberty
with yours,
and it's just not giving
the right beautiful vibe
that the photo is.
I'm so sorry, I've got to give you a four.
- Yeah, I'll take it.
- Oh, that seems harsh.
(crew laughing)
There's a lot that goes into each
and every episode of
"Good Mythical Morning."
We have an incredible crew
that puts a lot of hard work
into each episode.
And you can see their process.
- We all work hard.
- Yeah, you can see the
behind the Mythicality process
overall in the Mythical Society.
- Yeah.
I mean, I think maybe they work harder
and I find out when I watch them too.
- That's right.
(upbeat music)
(air whooshing)
- [Jenna] Okay, guys.
Here are the instructions
for your final plate.
First, fill the bowl with yogurt halfway.
Shake and tap the bowl to
flatten any yogurt imperfections.
- Okay.
(crew laughing)
- Shake and tap the bowl.
- Shake and tap the bowl.
See if there's any imperfections.
All right.
- Halfway.
Halfway on the side.
- That is a lot of yogurt.
- [Rhett] So we were going
from sprinkling and squirting
to shaking and tapping.
Look at us.
- Ooh, yeah.
- Shake and tap.
(bowl scrapping)
(bowl tapping)
(Link sputters)
- Shake.
Shake it and tap it.
Shake it and tap it.
(bow thudding)
- But don't breathe heavy.
(bow thudding)
- It needs to be.
It's just not.
Tap it.
(crew laughing)
Maybe this is the tapping that I need
because it didn't quite
get me the smoothness
that I had hoped for.
All right.
- [Jenna] Next step.
Use a toothpick to create a tapestry
of almond butter swirls on
the right side of the bowl.
- A toothpick.
- A tapestry?
(crew laughing)
- [Jenna] A tapestry of
almond butter swirls.
- Okay, well.
- On the right
side of the bowl.
- Almond butter swirls.
- Stir first.
- A tapestry of almond butter swirls.
So maybe I would take a dollop,
like a little dollop,
and then if I turn the.
- Just a tapestry.
- Oh, there we go.
I got a dangle,
I can use that to my advantage.
- Oh, pretty.
- You're doing pretty over there?
- Pretty, it's a tapestry.
- I don't know how you did that.
Did you do this?
And then after you do that.
(crew member chuckles)
Then you did that?
I can't get it.
Maybe I just don't need to give up on it.
- Now I'm getting too confident.
- Oh, yes, here we go.
I'm having a brown moment over here.
- Code brown.
Clear the pool.
- And I'm gonna do another one right here.
It said on the right side,
so I'm gonna stay on it on the right side.
- [Matt] Jenna's back
here under her breath
to herself saying, "Don't give up, Link.
Don't give up, Link."
It's really sweet.
- I haven't even thought about
giving up, I'm doing great.
(crew laughing)
Up.
- [Jenna] Next, on the opposite side
of the almond butter swirls,
create a waning crescent of granola
against the interior side of the bowl.
- Right, right, right,
waning crescent, she says.
- A waning crescent against
the interior side of the bowl.
- She did not say waxing crescent.
- [Jenna] I did not.
That would be incorrect.
(Link chuckles)
- I'm eating more of these.
Trying to have like a healthy
sensation in my mornings,
especially when I travel.
- More granolas?
- Yeah, when I travel.
- Now, I would have done a
crescent in the other direction,
but I'm going by what I heard.
- Up.
That's not a lot of granola.
- Okay.
- [Jenna] Take the fruit with the calyx
and make five vertical slices of the fruit
after removing the calyx.
- So you're not telling us the fruit,
you're just giving us a hint?
- Yes.
- Take the fruit
with the calyx.
- Remove the calyx.
- I think that's probably a calyx.
And do what with the slices?
- [Jenna] Make five vertical slices
after removing the calyx.
- Okay.
- Remove the calyx.
Man, I've never removed a calyx before.
- Yeah.
You have to get consent first.
- I'm gonna remove the calyx with this.
(knife scrapes)
- [Rhett] Five vertical slices.
- [Link] Got to remove all of this.
I mean, what is a calyx?
- What is a calyx is really
the question of the hour.
- [Link] One, two, three, four, five.
All right.
- Orient the fruit slices
in a star shape near
the bottom of the bowl,
slightly overlapping with
the almond butter swirls.
- [Rhett] No problem there.
(crew laughing)
- It's so big.
This one's too.
Maybe I just need to do this.
One, two, three, four.
- Beautiful, Rhett.
- One, two.
- I'm getting hungry over here.
- One, two, three.
All right.
- [Jenna] Next step.
Cut a blueberry in half
and place in the center of the
fruit star, flesh facing up.
- Yes, of course.
So what I'm gonna do is
cut a blueberry in half, flesh.
- [Rhett] Flesh up.
- [Link] Now put that right there.
Huh.
- [Jenna] Next, take the melon scooper
and use the 1.25-inch diameter side.
Make three dragon fruit balls.
- Uh, uh.
(crew laughing)
- [Jenna] Then create
an upside down triangle
with the balls at the
top center of the bowl.
- [Link] All is not lost.
- [Rhett] Okay, you said.
- [Jenna] I said.
- Take the 1.25-inch melon scooper.
- [Link] How many fruit balls?
- [Jenna] Three fruit balls.
- How many fruit balls?
(crew laughing)
- [Rhett] Okay.
Oh, yeah.
And do them where?
In a triangle at the top?
- Would you like me to read
the instructions again?
- Nope, don't repeat.
- Hold on, you got to repeat one time.
- Yeah, but we agreed on it.
That's why I asked you.
- Okay, don't tell me.
- Trust me.
I'm gonna need more help than you.
Ooh, there's something hard in there.
What is in there?
- What are you finding?
- Not my way.
(crew laughing)
Okay.
- [Jenna] Yeah, you're
going rogue there, bud.
- Yeah, I'm trying to
make up for my mistakes.
- [Jenna] By making something up?
- No, I'm trying to go
back and replace my star.
(crew laughing)
- Dragon fruit looks like
it will be more flavorful
than it is.
- Ha.
- I mean, it's a beautiful looking fruit.
So many seeds.
(crew laughing)
I mean, judging a dragon
fruit by its cover
is actually appropriate
'cause you look inside
and you're like, "Dang."
Then you taste it.
There's a lot of life lessons in fruit.
- What's next?
I just can't-
- Yes, this is the final step.
You will take the melon scooper
and using the one inch diameter side,
make three mango balls.
Place a mango ball on either side
of the dragon fruit triangle
and rest one atop it.
- Whoa, glad I got room for that.
- Good luck trying to get into the mango,
'cause that's what I've been working on.
(crew laughing)
- You already are on mango?
- Well.
- You though that mango had a calyx.
(crew laughing)
- No, I didn't until.
I don't know, maybe I'm right.
(Rhett grunts)
I do like doing this
scooper though, that's cool.
So one on the top.
All right, and then what
I'm gonna do is another,
another right here.
- Got one over here.
I feel pretty great about mine.
(crew laughing)
It comes out so smooth.
(Link chuckles nervously)
- [Jenna] Is everyone completed?
We feel good?
- I'm good.
- [Jenna] Okay, why don't
you reveal each other's?
Link, don't forget
to reorient.
- Let me turn that around.
- [Jenna] Yeah, there we go.
(bowl scrapes)
(curtain rustles)
(Link sighs)
- How did you even do that?
- Star?
Hold on, what is happening right there?
(crew laughing)
- Yeah, that's what I'm asking.
How did you get your
almond butter to swirl?
- What you did with your
moon is what I wanted to do,
but it said towards the inside.
- Huh.
- So I did the reverse,
but that looks better.
I think what you did is better there.
Nothing else is better.
- So you think that the
thing you supposed to remove
is a strawberry?
- You also did flesh side down.
She said flesh side up.
- Well, by that point, I was scrambling.
I do know that you missed one on top
of your dragon fruit balls.
- On top, not on top.
Maybe on top.
I don't know, we'll see.
- We'll have to see.
- Their tops are two different things.
- Who knows?
Maybe this is exactly what it looked like
and we all need to work. (sighs)
- Oh.
- Oh.
I was actually not too far off with the-
- The swirls.
- The swirls.
- [Jenna] Yeah, that's why when Matt said
that I was back here like,
"Keep going, keep going."
(Jenna chuckles)
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, it could have worked.
- You were doing something
that was actually prescribed
and then you did the moon the correct way.
- What did you say the strawberries were?
- It has a calyx on it.
- Calyx.
- And you knew that?
- No.
- [Jenna] I will say one
thing we realized is dragon-
- Like something from Ikea.
- [Jenna] I'm trying
to help you out, Link.
- It's over.
- [Jenna] Will you listen to me?
- Yes.
(Jenna laughs)
- [Jenna] I'm trying to tell you
that I'm not gonna deduct you
for using the dragon fruit
instead of the strawberry
just 'cause technically,
dragon fruits also have calyx.
- Yeah, they do.
- [Jenna] So I'm not gonna
deduct you that point.
- Oh.
- [Jenna] So don't worry about that one.
- What about that?
- Thank you.
- It doesn't really look like a star.
- Isn't it a piece of
Ikea furniture too though?
- [Jenna] I don't know, probably.
- It's like a shelving unit.
Okay.
- [Jenna] All right.
I feel like there was some
loose interpretations.
They look okay.
I'm trying to be generous.
Rhett, I feel like you did quite a lot,
so I would like to give
you a seven for your work.
- Okay.
- [Jenna] Link, because we did not deduct
for the dragon fruit.
- Thank you.
- There were a couple other
mishaps here and there,
so I am giving you a six.
(bell dings)
- You know what?
I'll take that because
this is not appetizing.
- [Jenna] All right.
So, since Rhett is the best food stylist,
you win the title of
being the most in style.
And Link, you must follow the trend.
- Oh, okay.
Here's your opportunity, Link.
(crew laughing)
- So I got to put this.
I get it.
(crew laughing)
- He gets it.
- [Crew Member] He get it.
- Well, you know, there is
a calyx in a strawberry.
(Rhett and crew laughing)
- Also in a dragon fruit.
- There's also in a dragon fruit.
What are the chances?
- Thanks for being your Mythical best.
- Thanks for being your Mythical best.
- You know what time it is.
- You know what time it is.
- Hi, my name's Kendall Jackson
and I'm spending my 21st birthday
at the Kendall-Jackson
Wine Country in California
with my mom.
- [Both] And it's time to
spend the Will of Mythicality.
(Kendall chuckles)
- No relation.
- No relation, right?
- No relation?
- No relation.
- Huh.
- No, huh, no.
(crew laughing)
- Oh.
- I mean, I usually, you usually.
I don't know, who doesn't?
No one.
- I don't know.
- And no one who's here.
- All right, okay.
(roulette clicking)
We could have gone on
with that for a long time.
Hey.
