GMMore 2643: Should You Judge Food By Its Packaging?

Hey, I’m glad you’re here, hanging out with us in this Good Mythical More. That’s it. We’re gonna look at some pictures of food, and then we’re gonna judge things about it, which is what you were doing the whole time. You were watching moving pictures of food in the episode, but we were, we were having the actual food. Yes. Now we’re with you just looking at food that we can’t eat. But first. Must be tough being you and us. Let’s list things that come in fours. Things that come in fours? Families of four. There’s a four pack of those, like, little drinks. Like the little cans. Like the ten ounce. Okay. You can get four of those together. The legs of a dog. Okay. Well, I’m not gonna say, I’m only gonna say the legs of every other animal that has four legs. Just because we can’t keep doing that. Okay. Half of the legs of a spider. What about the legs of a table? Well, not every table does that. Legs of a four legged table. I could say fingers other than the thumb. Okay. The letters of my name. The eyes of someone who wears glasses. Well, that’s insulting. Four eyes would say that! The discs of a same color in an order that wins Connect Four. Oh wow, this is getting really, really complex. The teeth of a baby that only has 4 teeth. That’s valid. We can’t be stopped, Link! A set, an optimal set of golfers that go through together. A foursome. Yep. An ice cream cone. With four scoops. Dang. Foiled again. Two sets of swingers that can’t make up their mind. A foursome. You went back to foursome. They didn’t just, swingers usually just switch up, Twinkle fingies. There should be two sets of swingers. Two sets of swingers that can’t make up their minds so then they’re all together. Because I think they, they just, they re-pair up and split up. Yep. It’s how we’ve been doing it. Yeah, right. Right, right. Re-pair up, split up. Four. – Well, okay. – Four. – Four. – Alright, okay. Four. Sections of time that are 60 seconds long. Otherwise known as a minute. Four of those in a row. Okay. Four minutes. What? Comes in fours. Yep. That’s good. Right. 15 minute increments in an hour. Wow. That’s 30 minute increments in two hours. No, you can’t. I think we’ve just proven this can go on forever. No, no, no, I don’t think you can, because I’m done. I gotta come up with one more. Okay. Come on, four, Stevie, you got anything? Nope, I’m plum out. Four. Oh, no, no, I have some. Two sets of swingers that are not confused. Oh, wow, okay, alright. Okay. We’ll let Stevie have the last word. I was gonna say four sides, sides of a square. Well, now you have the last word. You can’t say we’ll let you have the last word and then say, well, I was gonna say, doesn’t that mean you have the last word? I take it back. I take it back. I take it back. Okay. You can take it back. So, we are going to, look at pictures of a mid, low, and high price point of an item and see if we can guess, not by tasting, but by looking. Correct. Yes. Okay. Pizza. Is your first one. And these aren’t naked because there are surroundings. You know? Basil leaves on B and C. Okay. So this is, what is this called? – Neapolitan. – This isn’t a margherita. Neapolitan. Neapolitan. No, but it might be a margherita under the Neapolitan banner. Oh, okay. Carney says it’s a Neapolitan style pizza with margherita topping. Yeah, he’s right. We’re all right, it seems. Okay. And you have to spell the word that your arrangement. You have to say the word. “Bac”. So we both agreed that B was the high dollar, but then I thought A was cheap. And you thought C was. C looks like, DiGiorno. They’re really trying to make it look expensive with everything around it, that’s for sure. Accoutrement. I think the only one you got right is that C is the low. Oh, dang. So A is the most expensive? Mr. Pizza, yeah. A is the high price point from Wood in Silver Lake. $26. B is mid. From Bestia? Dang, Bestia is cheaper than Wood? Bestia is like a high priced place. Yeah. That’s a good restaurant. And then low is Mr. Pizza for 14.99. But yeah, I would say, I would say Bestia is like nicer than Wood. A better restaurant. Yeah. Or a higher priced restaurant in general. I’ve been to Bestia. I can’t remember if I like it. Bestia. Bestia. Chicken tikka masala. Well, this is, at least all of these, well, B looks like it could be stock photo. B is what I want. You give me the Chicken tikka, I want that orange boy, I want it. I want it so bad. I want it over some. But if it were butter chicken, would you then want A or C instead? You don’t want it to be as orange for butter chicken. But I want it to be more yellow, not so, so almost brown green. I bet you one of them ones on the right or the left is super fancy. They look like the same bowl, so that’s not gonna help us. I went with the Continental Basketball Association. I went with another word for taxi. So we agreed that C was the high price point, but then you thought, see, I just think that. You fell for the pewter bowl in B, but. I just think that’s like, that’s like a mid, like, that’s just mid. It’s middle of the road. Could be. Link got all of them correct. Yes. Okay, so the high price point, Spice Affair in Beverly Hills. Y’all keep talking about the Spice Affair. I think we’ve been there a long, long, long, long time ago. It’s over twice as expensive as the other two. The mid and the low. Mid, Bombay Beach for 18. Low Indimex for 15. I want, I still want the Indimex. Like, I just want, I just, I can tell you exactly what that tastes like. There’s Mexican food there too? Is that, is it fusion? You certainly would hope so based on that title, that name. I would feel deceived if it wasn’t. So what else do they serve? – Maybe you can put. – Tacos? You can put that in a burrito. You can put the. Tikka masala burrito? Yes, please. If the burritos made a naan. Oh, naan with rice and. A naan burrito. – A naan burrito. – Yeah. Yes, yes, please. Nice. Interesting. Cause their menu reads as an Indian menu, so it must be. Okay, sorry. There’s a section for Mexican food. So you have a lamb burrito, chicken tikka taco. Chicken tikka taco. They have. Tortillas with masala sauce. What? Paneer burrito. You put some chutney in there? Instead of salsa, you put some chutney? Paneer burrito. Hey, we gotta do this. Well, yeah. I’m sure it’s been done, but we gotta do it too. I’m just saying, we gotta find where that’s happening. Or just make it. You know something else that I think has probably been done but we should look into? We should do an episode, I’m just, I’m gonna turn this into a pitch meeting. Let’s do it. Let’s show them a little behind the scenes process. Cereal milk lattes. – How about that? – That sounds so familiar to me. Can you say more? Wait, you, you. You use the milk from your cereal bowl to make a latte. So, you steam the milk that’s been Cinnamon Toast Crunchified. That someone else has eaten, yes. So you sell it to somebody, then they return the milk, and then you make it in a latte. You sell it to somebody else. I question how much flavor is going to be transferred in the steaming process, because it feels like. Exactly. The steaming process is going to separate what you want from that. You might have to take the leftover part of that and then still like put it back in there somehow. Cocoa Puffs, Cocoa Puff milk. I’m definitely willing to experiment with this at the restaurant where we’re going to have a chicken tikka burrito. Two totally different ideas. Carney. Alright, Biden. He’s eating. You heard what he said. Alright, alright, alright is what he said. Cheeseburgers. Well, what’s happening to A? It’s getting really expensive. There’s gravy. It’s uncalled for. What? So did they take the top bun off, pour gravy all over the burger, then put the bun back on? I don’t want to know. Or did they pour gravy and then put a burger on top of it? I certainly don’t want to know. You don’t want to know? Nope. I mean, I guess I would have to eat it with a fork. That’s weird. Now, I think me and you are on the same page with which one of these we want to eat. B looks good. B has got it going. C is. It’s not really fair to put C in there, I think. That’s like. But C doesn’t necessarily mean cheap. No? Burgers are so deceptive these days. Because that one in the middle looks like a burger from Heavy Handed. Which I ate at recently. And really enjoyed. I haven’t been there, but I am tempted. There’s a Santa Monica location, but they put one in Studio City, and it has a, dip, you know, ice cream dipping thing, so soft serve. And so I got swirl ice cream and they dipped it in a cookies and cream hard shell. Heavy Handed. That’s, that’s nice. That sounds nice. And they serve wine and beer. French fries are okay, burgers are very good. I’d like a beer with my burger, not wine though. But I haven’t found a better smash burger than For The Win. I agree. Yeah. I agree too, but I would order lettuce and extra onions. A, B, C! That’s what I thought. A, B, C. But the, that Heavy Handed might be expensive. It could be, B could be the most. Yeah. The one that you got right obviously with the A is the high price point from Petit Trois. For $37. $37? Yeah. The one, B is our low price point option from The Win-dow. Well, what’s The Win-dow? For 4.35. And then C is mid from Irv’s Burgers for $8. Well, I don’t know about Irv’s. I’ve heard of it, but I haven’t had one. Yeah. I don’t know where that is. It looks too, I don’t, I like the burgers to be poking out a little bit. The Win-dow. I don’t prefer. Ooh, that makes me hungry again. That Win-dow burger is almost as good looking as the one right below. The one. And only. Fettuccine Alfredo. Fettuccine. I’ll get a little fettuccine. Fettuccine. Is from Mother Wolf. You think? From what? – Mother Wolf doesn’t have. – Mother Wolf. Wood, wooden tables, they have tablecloths. I think. But I do think it’s the high priced one. I’m going cab. I’m going “cba”. I’m going “cba” I mean it’s hard to tell with A, it’s not really fair guys. Yeah. Too close. Well it’s, it’s like a professional photo. Link got the lowest one correct. A, from Ameci for 12.99, B is a high price point, Musso & Frank’s for 29, and C is mid, Met Him at a Bar. Met Him at a Bar. Yeah, but it’s got a, it’s got a flower in it. And a spoon. Musso & Frank’s is a high price point? How is the food, how is the food at Musso & Frank’s? I’ve never been. I’ve always talked about going and I’ve never actually gone. I heard it was as you expect, though. I don’t think I’ve been. Yeah. Met Him at a Bar I’ve never heard of. Well, that’s not the kind of thing you do, Stevie. It’s fun. So. What did she say? It’s fun. It’s fun. It’s fun. Mikayla said it’s fun. Met Him at the Bar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A bar. Sorry. Chicken Caesar salad. I gotta say, I’ve never been pleased with myself when I ordered a chicken Caesar salad. I’ve never thought to myself, boy, I’m in for it. There’s like a trend of, chicken Caesar salad wraps that I don’t understand. Like, it’s like a resurgence of popularity in chicken Caesar salad wraps. Yeah, and again It’s not a great time. It’s not like Met Him at a Bar. Yeah, it’s not fun. Yeah. I don’t know what to do with this. Yeah. Okay, I think I. I’m certainly not impressed I’m certain about the low price point Are you so? What’s that stuff on A? Is that like pollen? Corn Flakes? Not the big croutons, but the little yellow flakes. What could those be? Looks expensive. You’re certain about that one, huh? I’m not. I’m a. ACB. I think that B, look at that, is that a ketchup container above it? That’s a cheap place. No, that’s the bottom of a Coke. I thought that was ketchup. Yep, but it, yep. Never mind. I’m not certain anymore now that that Coke, that ketchup turned into Coke. Low is A. Got it! From Porto’s, for 9.25. B is the mid from Granville for 19.50. And C is the high price point from The Hideaway for 25. The Hideaway has a pretty plate. Yeah, it’s a little, it’s a little too cottagecore for me. There’s so many restaurants in this town. There’s so many restaurants in this town that I keep forgetting to go back to Granville. The great outdoors just got greater. Shop the Good Mythical Exploring tee and patch available at mythical.com
