GMMore 2436: Who Makes The Best Fajitas?

Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” Let’s build the ultimate fajita platter. But if the other guy takes the ingredient, then the other guy can’t have it and Jordan Myrick gets to decide which one is better because Jordan knows. That’s right, Link. All that’s true. Let’s play, “Who You Talkin’ About?” We’re gonna read a comment one of y’all made, and we’re going to guess Who you talkin’ ’bout? whether it was about the two of us or anybody on the crew. We’ve opened this up to anyone on the crew, right? Is that right? Right. Am I right about that? Okay, Lauren says, “__ looks like someone’s weird aunt.” Ooh. I get the weird aunt a lot. Yeah. Probably me. I think I might be saying Link on this one. Yeah, I think this might be me. And how, I mean it’s really hard to feel- Okay, I think it’s me. self conscious in a bright green cardigan. Bright, yeah, I, I was kinda lettin’ my sweater do the heavy lifting today Yeah you were, Today I was kind of just going, I’m going like 65% today. I kind of looked a lot like my character from the Quest for the Brown Diamond. That was my inspiration. Yourself or horse? That’s Jerry. Was just me, was just me. Jordan Myrick, come on in here. Hello. You know Jordan, Welcome back, Jordan. How’s it going? The fist of Fury back again. Oh dear. That’s what they call me. Oh me. Can we just promise me that that won’t happen today? No fist in mouth. Sure. Okay. That didn’t seem sincere. I am kind of interested in the view count, you know? Like first time versus second time. What is it gonna do? And I just feel like that’s gonna be good test but sure, fine. There’s only one way to find out. Only if it happens organically. Yeah Sure. Rhett was showing me a picture, um, not a picture. It was a moving picture. It was a video Okay. Of some dude filming a, a, a black snake get eaten by a, a coral snake. No, a kingsnake. A king, not a coral snake. A coral snake is very little. Yeah That would be really weird. A kingsnake is known for Kingsnake, taking out another snake and then eating the snake, eating another snake. And all I could think about was This guy right here? Yeah, and this guy right here. Wow. So who’s, who’s the kingsnake? I’m the kingsnake. Okay. Hey y’all, well, I mean, the hands went the, the fist went in both mouths. That’s true. I put, We’re both the kingsnake. Yeah, that’s true. You are the kingsnake today. It’s a kingsnake on kingsnake. Let’s do it. You get to decide which fajita you like better. I can’t wait. Link, you won last time. I don’t remember what the food was. You won last time, I get to go first. However, we’re mixing it up a little bit. We’re doing the thing that we thought we were gonna do the first time, and many of you have said that we should do, which is called a snake draft. So, Well there you go, see? Basically the way this Snake on the brain. works is, I’m gonna get to go first. It see, like each round of choosing is, is a round where I get to go first in one round, then Link gets to go second, then it’s new round. Link gets to go first, then I get to go second. So the way it’s gonna look is that I go once then Link goes twice, then I go twice, then link goes twice back and forth. And hopefully we have the right number of ingredients that there’ll be even, I don’t know. And you, and that It’s just a more fair way to do it. And that’s more fair than just going back and forth, going twice? Yeah. Let’s just say yeah. Yes. Yeah, it is. It’s, it’s, it’s a complex thing, but it’s how they do like a draft for like the All-Star game and stuff like that. Hmm, doesn’t make sense to me, Because, you’re, you’re but I’m excited to see it done. Because what it does is it doesn’t give an unfair advantage to the person who goes first because the person who goes second, well, you might not get the first choice, but you get the second and the third and now it’s kinda like even and then it’s Oh. Who knows, we’ll see if it goes well. The thing we do know is that you know, all of the ingredients ’cause of the best of their types. Yes Yes, I love all these ingredients, including these tortillas in front of us. These are the Trader Joe’s tortillas. They’re one of our best flour tortillas. The only things that we didn’t pick on this list are like shrimp, chicken, steak, that type of thing. Okay. Peppers, you know, things that. And by we they mean, sporked.com If you haven’t heard, it’s the place to go to know what to buy when you go to the place to buy the foods that you have to buy. Huh. Okay. I have first pick. I have first, Oh, I thought, yep. And you get second and third. Okay. I actually like that. Yeah. It’s pretty, even honestly. Slaw, you’re thinking slaw to start out with on your fajita. I’m going to go with shredded cheese as my first pick. Wow. I’m trying to pull, I’m trying to think ahead a little bit here. Are you surprised about that? Yeah, that seems very strange to me. Okay. ‘Cause now see, you, you’ve reminded me of how important, I mean, cheese is important on a, on a sizzling fajita plate. Are, is it gonna come out sizzling? So hot. How hot is it? So. But, but not sizzling hot, I don’t think. I hope sizzling hot. Oh no. It’s gonna be crazy. It’s gonna be like when you get ’em in the Mexican restaurant. Well, I know, I, I, I, I, know I’m, I’m gonna go with steak because that is high quality. Alright. And then, what I’m gonna do here. Sorry. I, I, I, I’m not, I’m not attacking you. You know what? Don’t be shy. You know what the most like extra thing to do with fajitas is? Yes I do. And I hope you do it right now. Shrimp food. Yes. Steak and shrimp. Yes. So you boy, are going into chicken territory or nothing. I love that you did that. Here’s what I’m doing. You’re hurting. I’m gonna take chicken and queso so there’s no more cheese on the board. Okay. Now you’re speaking my language a little more. Aha, I got all the cheese! You fell into my trap. I like that. My cheesy trap! I like that. I like that, okay, okay, I like that. What you gonna do about cheese, bro? It’s a bit unnecessary. I can take sour cream and make you think that it’s cheese. Well, good luck with that. I love sour cream. Good luck with that. Good luck with that, that was your only move I will say that was your only move. It’s a great move. Have to do that. I don’t think it’s as good as the double cheese move personally. I love sour cream. What I will say is, Okay? two of my favorite foods are on the board. Whoops. One’s been taken. It’s shrimp. Oh God. Link has it. Oh. My other favorite food is still up on the board. I love shrimp too. I do too. I really think that we have so much sincipacito. Yeah, we’re kindred spirits. We are twinning. Twinning. We’ve talked about this before. This pick has wowed us. Crema mexicana, sour cream. It’s the one that you need to have in your fridge. It’s so good. Do you know after the first time you talked about that, I went to the store, I got it, and it is now my exclusive sour cream of chips. Wow, that actually makes me extremely excited. When someone tells me they use something from sporked. It, It’s so much better. It tastes different. It’s, It’s got something else in it. It’s got, It’s saltier, it’s a little Yes. smoother, a little more liquidy. Yes. The consistency is way better. Ooh, it’s like you don’t even know you need it until you have it and then you can never go back. I take it out with a spoon and Is, is it a, is that a screw top or is it Yes. Can you get a, It’s a, it’s a screw top, Can you get a, which I don’t like as much, but. But you don’t actually, in this scenario, you don’t, don’t even want that, ’cause it’s just the spoon to give you the Yeah. Alright, Link. Quivers right off the spoon. You chose sour cream. But again, it’s a snake draft, so you get to choose again. Mhm, mhm, mhm. Where do I need to go? I mean, I love onions. It’s hard to, it’s hard to do fajitas without peppers. Did you make a, did you. No. You don’t like onions. Okay, don’t say anything. I didn’t say that, I didn’t say anything. I’m definitely choosing onions. Okay, so onions are my second food. Damn it, I knew it. Aha And you know why I like onions I remember that. ’cause our eggs are the same. We do the cheesy onions. That’s right. Scrambled eggs. I was really, really hoping that you wouldn’t get the onions. I’m sorry. Oh Rhett, I’m so sorry. So I got, could you hand me the peppers because I’ve been getting yours for you. There you go. I’m a nice guy. He’s such a gentleman. Okay. And now I’ve gotta get to the second thing. Ooh, I love this ’cause there’s no green bell peppers. When they bring out, I requested that. ’cause I knew you when I bring out that sizzler to somebody else’s table. Jealousy. You awe. I mean, you just, it’s instant jealousy. Yeah. You have to get, fajitas are something you get if you love attention. And both my girlfriend and I do, so we will go to our favorite Mexican spot in North Hollywood and we’ll get two huge plates of fajitas. ‘Cause everybody watches it come out and it, Yeah. and they’re like, “Is this coming to my table? Even though I didn’t order?” It makes you feel like a celebrity. You wanna know a little something about those sizzling fajitas? This is not a joke. What? I used to work at On The Border as well as other places. Okay Okay, yeah. Wait, this is, Like where? I think this is On The Border queso. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, it is. Yeah. When we did fajitas, it’s just a very hot plate that they’re served on. And right before you take ’em out to the table, you squirt a little bit of water on it Mhm. just so it just starts steaming like crazy. But it’s not like an organic steam. It’s just all visual. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah I’ve always known that It’s just a show. And you’re not gonna ruin it for me. Oh. I mean, what, what would be making the steam? If not, you put water on it? I, I, when I, before this was revealed to me, Well the peppers. I just thought it was like, oh, these hot, you know, this is coming out organically. It’s so hot right out, right off the grill, but it’s just fake. Well, if it makes you feel better, you did ruin it for me. Aw. Yay. No. There’s a, okay. We’re like, we’re in a kind of weird territory now. Honestly, like, I feel like the basis of all this is is like being, has been built, you know, like, and everything else is, we’ve got a foundation. Sure. And, there’s a, there, you know, I don’t know. It’s, I, I, I know that your two favorite foods are on his side but I’ve got double cheese. Just remember that. I love double cheese Remember that. And there are some things on this board that I really, really love. So you could still get in there. I know where I’m gonna go next. I don’t think it’s gotten weird yet. No, not, both of them are totally normal. Well, here’s what I’ll say, is that, typically, fajitas don’t come with beans. I mean, when you order fajitas at a That’s true. at a restaurant, One of the reasons my wife gets ’em and don’t tell anybody that my wife, it doesn’t, she, my wife, Jessie, doesn’t really like beans that much. Jessie, but that shows you how great that I think she is because I love her so deeply. Even though she’s flawed in that very significant way. Sure. But the, one of the reasons she gets fajitas is it doesn’t have beans or rice, so. Right. Right. I don’t know which direction he’s gonna go. ‘Cause I, ’cause you, ’cause you just said Are you going for salsa? Well, ’cause you said, I, I don’t think it’s gotten weird yet, I think I know where I’m gonna go. You can have another meat even though it’s a fake one. I don’t, I feel like, Vegan Chorizo. I feel like if I got stuck with vegan chorizo, I’m not gonna be upset. But I feel like the chicken is my meat right now. This feels like the most strategy either one of you have ever used in this. Yeah, well hey, You’re really talking through it. This has become most competitive game in Good Mythical More-ing. I love it, I kind of play this when I order. It’s like if I order the exact same thing as Christie, I feel defeated. Yeah. I feel, ’cause I, I like to share. Of course. So, I will dodge her order left and right. Yeah, a hundred percent. I feel like that’s what we’re doing here. Well, okay. I’m gonna do what I would do, which is avocado salsa. Okay. I’m, I, I wanted that. Tell me about this. This is Can we taste it? It’s incredibly delicious. This is Herdez avocado salsa. It comes in bulk at Costco, but you can also get at other grocery stores. It’s so good. It’s creamy, it’s herby, it’s a little spicy, it’s delicious. But not too spicy. No, this is the mild version. Is that where you wanted me to go? I love that. So I’m very happy. Okay. This looks great. One thing I’ll also leak, That is good, That’s good because that’s like it, the it’s, it’s a better version of my favorite salsa at El Pollo Loco. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Their green Salsa is very good. I was gonna say, you have an advantage in one way because I don’t eat red meat normally. Okay. So that is, you know, wow. That was your first choice too, right? I don’t know. Just something to, so I just, you don’t have, not all hope is lost. Both look great to me right now. I’ll eat the red meat for the show. Okay, for the show. And people in the comments will be like, oh, “How can I trust Jordan? If they don’t like steak.” It’s fine. Yeah. And they’ll say it just like that, by the way. It’s fine. Jordan is a professional. I know what I’m doing. You, you, you wear many different mouths. Absolutely. Okay, Link, you’ve got two in a row. See how the snake drafted gets, it’s interesting ’cause you got two in a row. That is totally the sauce I wanted. And honestly, But you just got one. I don’t have this at my house. I, I also got the peppers. Oh okay. That was my double. We’ve been chatting. Think so, I’ve gotta get this Herdez avocado salsa at my domicile. Well you can’t get it right now. So I’m just making, So you need to stop, just stop thinking about it. I’m making a personal note. And am I going with the salsa or am I going with the salsa? The salsa or the salsa? Which one do you think I like? See I feel like I’ve got salsa covered. Red or Green? Hand me the black beans. Alright. Oh. I think it’s complimentary. Okay. I love a bean. I’m a bean queen. It’s not gonna be a problem. And you did whole beans, not refried beans. Yeah, ’cause I thought, you know, you’re taking stuff out and you’re making it and you’re not, you don’t wanna have to paste it. Interesting. Okay. And green, I’m going with the green roasted salsa verde. Yum. Ooh, that’s nice. Oh Gosh. I mean there are really no bad choices. No. Except maybe one that Link just made. Everything tastes good, but strategy wise. Your black beans are upside down. That’s really bothering me. Okay, alright. Now I’ve gotta make two in a row. So this is gonna go me making two choices, Link making two choices, me making another two choices, and then Link making the final choice. So it’s actually perfect. It ends up being even. Okay. Would you like a shrimp? Yeah. I want to give it to you on your own, on your own fork. Oh, okay. He’s buttering up the judge. He’s giving me pre fajita shrimp. I’m thinking so hard about pleasing you over here. Okay. Alright. That I just don’t, okay? We don’t have another fork. Cheating is allowed. Okay. Alright. And then check this out. Hey, no, no. Oh, big time violation. Big time violation. I dunno. I gotta make two choices here. You gotta make two choices. Why is slaw even up there? I think if you want like a fresh element, you know, something kind of akin. You’ve made the taco. You want something to put on top, kind of like a lettuce. But this is a southwest salad kit. So it has a little more pizazz. Okay, Jordan, I, again, I’m kind of going that, one, one of the things that has helped me before is when I just kind of go with my instinct of what I would do. And I know I said all that stuff about beans before, but I feel like I love refried beans. I love refried beans too. I just feel like, we’ll, and we’ll go, go kind of easy on ’em. Okay. And then I think I’m going to move to. I really like the interaction of the, the red and the green. I feel like to balance out the avocado salsa, a little hot salsa roja. I love that. Yep. And I’m going to take, Thank you. the Chipotle ranch ’cause I don’t have anything that color. And that’ll be nice on the top along with the, this slaw that is, you know, it’s kinda like putting lettuce on your taco, but it’s got a little bit more pizazz. There you go. Okay. Now we’re really into, I gotta pick two of these. What? It’s really, I could think about this two different ways. What am I gonna stick Link with? What’s, what’s good about this is that, Well, I don’t think the little crunchies of the dressing are put on it. But normally, it’s like a full salad kit. You know what I mean? So it has, this has cilantro, it has carrots, it has lettuce, cabbage, and then it comes with a package of its own dressing. Little tortilla strip crunchies. Okay. You know, it’s like an easy dinner. And it’s says good and gather. Which is, Target. Target. There it, I can’t even believe you’re thinking about what’s going on on the board right now. Yeah. Just take two and be done with it. Well, no, that’s not what I meant. Not trying to rush you. I just mean it seems. Yeah, okay. Well, I’ve already got, I mean, I just feel like I’ve got the salsa covered at this point. I think that adding hot sauce onto the top of that. Okay. Seems like it might be redundant. You do have a lot of sauces. Might I request some revised stacking to happen on your side, Rhett. So you can see it? Yeah. Oh, sorry. Yes, yes. Okay. Yes, yes, yes. Alright. So I got, I’m gonna make two choices here. You’re good, you’re good. I actually think, the thing I know about everything on this board is that it’s something that you enjoy. And so I think the fact that Link has sort of two proteins over there. Put us out of our misery. I currently just have the chicken. I feel like a nice compliment to that chicken would be the chorizo, because there’s so much flavor in that chorizo. And I know you love it. I feel like I got enough sauce and I feel like you gotta do a little corn to finish it off to say where you’re from. Alright. I love corn. I’m shocked you chose the soy rizo. It’s delicious and I love it, but I thought you were gonna stick ’em with three proteins. Huh? Oh yeah. You weren’t thinking about me at all. So now it’s being prepared over there. Hmm, okay. And I really like this hot sauce. It’s really hot. Good point, good point. Do you wanna try it? I do. Do you like really spicy stuff? I do. It’s really hot. Oh, that’s a lot. It’s a lot? Just a heads up, yeah. You’ll be fine ’cause you’re eating lot of shrimp. I think when the food lands it’ll start stinging. Oh no. I love that brand. No, no, no. Oh no, no, no, no, no, oh my gosh. Oh, uh oh. ‘Cause I love that brand. Why didn’t you eat it with the shrimp? It’s really, really, really, really hot. Yeah. I’ve had their, they do the habanero, like the burnt habanero, just the black sauce. Delicious. I used to work in a Mexican restaurant and that was the only pre-made hot sauce they would serve. Good gracious. And this is on my side? Yeah. But I like it. It’s okay. What? And it’s this. It’s that. It’s extremely spicy. Ooh, ooh, triple x. Yeah. Ultra hot. Okay Oh my, oh oh, oh my. Matt Carney was right. Nothing’s sizzling at all. We’ll add water later. Oh. So what do I do? You assemble. Put your food on it. I make this? Yes, yes. Do you want me to do it? Are we gonna like heat it up again? I can heat it up again, sure. Because I feel like I need my cheese to melt on top of it. Oh, okay. You also have to assemble the fajita itself for me. Yeah, here, that’s just what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna take this. You’re completely skipping the skillet? Yeah, because, It’s on. What is it? Is everything, are your meats the texture you want them to be? I mean, by texture, I mean temperature. I guess. I guess I can throw some of this. I’m just asking. They might be. I feel like we like throw this under a, That’s beautiful Rhett, it looks really nice. A lamp or something, you know? I just feel like, I’m trying to go just sort of nice and easy for you here. I don’t wanna. Okay. Okay. How are you here? You’re doing a lot of onions. I love that. This is tricky, like I said. Moon, I’m just gonna shove this on edge. Does that mean, that that’s all the hot stuff? Okay, very little strategy. Because it’s just, that’s just it. It’s just like, honestly, this should be over by now. Okay. I mean, it’s not your fault. It’s just Rhett kept yapping about his choices. Rhett was really thinking And here we are. I’m trying to be really careful. Rhett was really thinking and I appreciate that. Really, really, careful. I’m trying to be super, super considerate over here. So this stuff Okay. Lemme give you a nice first bite. Wow. And then I’m gonna throw on a little bit of that. So you’re only dressing the, one half of the taco is what it looks like. I mean, are you gonna eat the whole thing? I don’t know, but I don’t know what side I’m gonna bite from first. And then, but this is so hot. You only get a little bit. I’m preparing a side Okay. for you to start with here. Okay. I do always feel very taken care of when I come on here. Yes, you should. It’s nice. And then I can’t remember what, oh yeah, this is beans. Oh yeah, this is beans. Okay, man. I mean this is like, this is like one of the most intense cooking competition shows you could possibly imagine. The way we get so committed to this. I love it. Fajita just really because, and I’m not gonna fold it up for you. I’ll let you do that with your own fists. Okay, wow. What type of fajitas are either one of you I’m gonna grab that. Ordering when you go to a restaurant? And I’m gonna remove it. Whoa, ho, whoa. Lemme bring this out so I can show you what I’m doing. Where did that come from? He requested it. I ordered it ahead of time. I don’t think you heard him. Wait, what are your fajita orders of choice when you order? Hello? I get, typic, typically. We don’t talk when a torch is happen. What’s happening? Typically? No talking and torching. Typically, what I do is I get chicken, soy chorizo, two types of cheese. Oh yeah. Three fried beans. I can’t wait to try it. Red salsa. Honestly, I can’t talk because that salsa, that hot sauce was so hot. So hot? Okay, I’m gonna take one more bite because I didn’t get steak in the first bite. Yeah, I did that on purpose. It needs cheese. We know that. I love. I love how creamy and saucy it is. I think you did a great job with that. What I will say is both your proteins are ice cold. I think maybe they could have spent a little more time on this. The sizzle? Yeah. On the skillet. Speak of the devil. I just didn’t believe it. Speak of the devil. Just didn’t believe it. But I love the flavors. It’s super spicy, which I love. And I love the onions. You wanna try it? It’s not a bad, Sizzle, sizzle. No. ’cause I’m, You’re not still on well. I, I’m basking in the heat of the hot sauce. Okay. I did like that you fed me a shrimp ahead of time. It’s cold though. I mean a cold shrimp is shrimp cocktail. That looks, that looks good, but. That looks beautiful. Wow. Thank you. And he did fold it for me. Fajita just become tacos. That’s kind of, what, I’m disappointed. I never thought about that. Hmm. Mm A, a fajita is just a taco you have to work for. Like I actually don’t believe in it. I don’t believe in having to make my own food. That’s why I don’t like hot pots. What about Hot Pockets? I don’t like hot pot. Did somebody say what. He said, “What about Hot Pockets?” Oh. I know that’s warmer. The warm meat is very nice. Yeah, I specialize in warm meat. It’s very, very nice. If I’m gonna give you a fajita, it’s gonna have warm meat every time. What I will say though, Wanna remind you to go over to sporked and look at the best barbecue sauces, which you guys also ranked. He also just interrupted you. Yeah, my god, Wait, okay. I’m pissed. Go to sporked.com, obviously. This is very good. To me it’s, it could use a little more sauce and it’s not spicy enough, but it’s very delicious. Mhm. This is more like spicy, saucy, just ice cold. Oh wow, so this is wow, okay. This seems like it’s gonna be a closed one. Fajita for Santa Claus. It’s just the coldest thing I’ve ever had in my life. But both do taste delicious. This round is going to Rhett. I’m sorry you put so much time and effort in. The warm meat did it. You put so much time and effort in. The pitty boat. Oh, oh, come on. The pitty boat. You put so much time and effort into it. Oh okay, why don’t you put your own fist in your own mouth? Huh? I’d be glad to. Find all the top ranked barbecue sauces on sporked.com.
