GMMore 2664: Who Makes The Best Quesadilla?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. We are going to endeavor to compete and be crowned best quesadilla maker ever. Yes. Only one can win. But first, freeze frame. Pick a frame, freeze it. Pick a Jordan. I pick Jordan Myrick. Thank you. A lot of Jordans floating around today. Hey, Jordan. Two, two pretty good ones. At the very least. Two of the best. Two of the best. Good to see you. Good to see y’all. It’s been very long. How are you? Oh, I like your. Good, good, good. Watch. Thank you. It is a watch bolo. Thank you. Wow. I just got it. It’s its first time out of the house. Oh, well, okay. Is it, is it, is it an antique watch? It’s actually a bunch of watches. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If you can believe it. Are they, are they ticking? No, they could be, but they’re not currently. But I got it at like a queer art market in Maine. You don’t say. Yeah. Gay people love this kind of stuff. Queer watches. People, yeah, queer people love to put watches on their necks. Yes, it’s such a thing. Yeah. How you been? How you been? I’ve been good. I got these, these things that are, we’re gonna make these quesadillas for you. You hungry for quesadillas? They’re heating up over here and creating toxic fumes or something. You have really been complaining about the smell. Do you smell it? Before we even started rolling. I don’t smell it that much. Do you smell it that much? I, yeah, a little bit. But what we’re gonna do is, right now they’re kinda hot. We do have the Pam, we have the Pam spray. We have the Pam spray that’ll make them smell good. But not until we’re ready to go. Link, you won last time. – So I’m gonna go first. – Yeah, congratulations. I’m gonna go first. My whole summer was ruined, by the way. I’m sorry. Yeah. He did, I saw some comments where people were like, oh, you just gave it to him. It did taste better. I believe that. Yep, yep, yep. I believe that. I believe you are always an honest judge. I am. There’s literally no reason not to be. Exactly. I don’t get in trouble. Right. Okay, so we’ve got. You don’t get in more trouble one way versus the other. That’s true. I’m always in trouble. – We both equally get. – I’m in normal trouble. But I don’t get in more trouble. Right. There’s a lot of weird options up here. Yes. Now, in terms of just traditional options, we have two types of tortillas, we have two types of cheese. Now, I think we all kinda know what we would choose when it came to the tortillas and the cheese. but I doubt that anyone’s gonna be able to get both of the things that they want there. And I actually think that given these two choices, what’s more important? I think the cheese choice is more important because we’ve got American cheese versus four cheese Mexican blend. Okay. And. That’s what you’re doing? I think I can make a quesadilla out of either tortilla, but I think it’s gonna be tough to make a good quesadilla with American cheese. So I’m getting, I’m gonna start with the Mexican four cheese blend. Okay. Okay. Well then I’m gonna, I’m gonna go with the flour tortilla. Which is what I wanted, of course. So that means you’re going with the corn tortillas. Corn tortilla. Wow. And that means that I’m gonna go with the American cheese. Just like that. We’re firing them off. We’re off to the races. Now one of the disadvantages of this, of course, or should I say of corn, is the size of my tortillas. Yeah, a little. Which is not indicative of anything. No. Except the size of my tortillas. I’m trying to think if I’ve ever had a corn quesadilla. I think they have a different name. Yeah. I think they’re maybe called moolahs. There’s a mulitas, a mulitas situation, but it’s more like, it’s kind of quesadilla-esque. It’s like two stacked on top with cheese and meat inside. They’re so good. That being said, I mean, I love those. Stevie’s right, they’re delicious. I do love, if we’re doing package, these are great, but I love a flour tortilla. I love flour tortilla. I know. But do you love American cheese? I’m hard pressed to ever prefer a corn tortilla, even with a street taco. Oh, see, for me, if it’s like a freshly made corn tortilla, I’ll go that way. But in general, harder to mess up a flour tortilla. And I, unfortunately, love American cheese. I love this cheese. Can you talk about these flour tortillas? Because are these Sporked, Sporked chosen flour tortillas? Everything is Sporked chosen. So all of these things are delicious. That being said, I don’t know if they’ll all be delicious, on a quesadilla. For example, I’m seeing capers. I didn’t make this list. I don’t know who did that. It feels like a mean joke to me. It feels like maybe my boss is trying to hurt my feelings. We don’t make the list. I know, I think maybe Justine did it. Kind of an attack. Who was it? Yeah, Justine. Justine did this. But wait, back to the flour tortillas. I think this is important. Is this, because it says ready to cook. Is it the type that’s like a little bit raw and it needs to be? – Yes. – Yes. These are a little raw and you cook them up before you use them and it tastes almost like a completely fresh tortilla. They’re unbelievable. I love that. They’re unbelievable. Does it say a little raw on the front? It says ready to cook, so that’s what it was, and it looks a little raw on the plate, so, yeah. And they taste so good a little raw. Really? Yeah, that’s what I like. Oh, do you like raw cookie dough? Yes. I’m a raw boy. I love everything raw, except for tartar. You don’t like tartar? Do you like, but you like sushi? I don’t love it, but I can eat it. Okay. I like raw desserts. So, yeah, okay. Gooey raw desserts or. Cookie dough. Cake batter. Cake batter. Sure, pudding is not raw, but it’s similar to cake batter. He loves pudding. I’ve never cooked pudding. You could get him to show up anywhere if you had pudding. I love pudding. So it is kinda raw. It’s uncooked. I guess a lot of things are raw if you think about it that way. Yep. Oh, I didn’t put my. Is it my go? Around the tortillas. Could you put my R on the corn? No, it’s my, it’s my go. It’s just very sticky. You’re not gonna eat this. Link, could you put my R on the, okay, so now we’re moving, I think, the natural move is to move to a protein. Okay. We’ve got chicken strips, and we’ve got soy chorizo. That’s all? Chicken strips on a? What would you want? Steak or shrimp. Well we don’t rate steak or shrimp. You made Sporked, you know what we do. Oh yeah. Yeah, I’ve gotta go with stuff that’s gonna fit. I gotta go with something that’s gonna fit on here first of all. Okay. So I’m thinking about volume, but I’m also thinking about the fact that soy chorizo is better than a chicken strip on a quesadilla, so I would like a soy chorizo. We’ll find out, but this soy chorizo is delicious. I love soy chorizo. Yeah that’s. The chicken strips are, are, are kind of weirding me out. I mean, you don’t have to do a meat or meat substitute. That’s right. You don’t have to, you don’t have to. That’s why I think I’m going to, I’m going to try. Then put your little R up. Put your little R up. Rhett, you’re doing a bad job. I keep forgetting. I’m sorry. I like the idea of tater tots rounds. So these are flat and they’re gonna quesadilla-ize really well, I think. And I just want to ask, you want to use the tortilla like this, or do you want to get a new one of these? I’m gonna get a new one. Okay. But I’ve been nibbling on that. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know if that was part of the experience. We’ll just cover that up. Cover that up. Where are your, where did your tortillas go? Okay. I didn’t do anything. Honestly, not my problem. Hid them? I don’t know. I didn’t do anything. That’s childish, man. So these. I love these. I think this is the perfect shape for a little hash brown. Okay. That tastes great. Delicious. Will be so good on a quesadilla with American cheese. Kroger. We’re doing breakfast right now. I’m gonna do a little bit of an unexpected thing here. Okay. I think I’m gonna play a little bit of the crunch game and I’m going with my favorite Doritos Tapatío because I like the double corn corn and I like the little crispy crunch in the middle of my tortilla. I love that. And you’re a corn man. Yes. And I’m a corn man, so I get that. Corn is delicious. I, I’m hatching a plan here. Okay. And I’m, I’m going aggressive to wow you. I love that. Okay. I’m going to take the crushed pineapple. Good. Good. Hold on, hold on. Okay, no. Just sit tight. I’m hearing you. Just sit tight. I need my tortillas back. I need to start. I like. Man, I wonder where they are. And people in the comments will come for me. I like pineapple on a pizza sometimes. I think if it’s done correctly, it can be very good. Well, don’t think of that at all. Okay. Oh, sorry. I was actually trying to be nice, but you know what? Nevermind. Think about cheddar and pineapple on a cracker. A thing I’ve never had? Do you eat that? Do you eat cheddar and pineapple on a cracker? It’s good. Tell her, Rhett. Cheddar and pineapple on a cracker. Yeah. What do you want me to tell her? I don’t, I mean, I don’t, I don’t think I. Like a cheese ball with pineapple and crackers all over it. What? Like a cheddar pineapple cheese ball with a coating of crackers. So I’m gonna take a pause. Let’s do a survey of the room. Who’s had that? Can you raise your hand if you’ve had that? Cheddar and pineapple. Got it. Literally no one has. Nobody’s had cheddar and pineapple? I don’t think anyone here has had a cheddar pineapple cheese ball rolled in crackers. Link, I think you might be talking about, there is a cheddar pineapple dessert that my mother used to make. Yeah. But it wasn’t on a cracker. But it, but the Ritz crackers could be part of that either. It feels like we’re getting further away from me understanding. Yeah, good. Go with this, Link. Okay, yeah. Keep going. It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be interesting. I’m excited and I like that the intention is to impress me. This is what I will say. You haven’t cooked this tortilla at all. Yeah. Despite it being talked about that these need to be cooked a little bit. Before I put stuff on it? I would guess, if from the way it looks. Nah, he’s fine. I’m sorry, I am doing you a disservice, I’m sorry. Do you like cookie dough? I love cookie dough. I think it will cook when I put it on the thing. Okay, great. I don’t know. The one side of it that will be on the griddle will cook, but maybe a little raw in the middle is okay. I’ve already eaten, I’ve already eaten a lot of this one. It’s better that way. Okay. All right. So you’re doing your own thing and I love that about you. Now some people might think, some people have said about what I’m about to do, or maybe will say, that I over corned, but I don’t believe that a man can over corn. Got it. And so I would like, the canned corn. Got it, okay, wow. I’m a little disappointed cause I wanted the corn as part of mine. And I knew that’s where you were going next. Man. So now I, this, this is what they call the corn three ways “moludo”, what? Mulita. Mulita. Mulita. Mulita. The corn three ways mulita, with chorizo. I like it. I’m scared maybe you’re corning too close to the sun, but we’ll find out. Corn. Are you, you’re still just making one, right? Yeah. I think. What? Yeah, I didn’t know if he was like making two bottoms. No, no, no, no. What? No, no. I’m going to put the top, I’m going to put some top on it and then I’m going to put some more cheese to get it to stick. And are you doing juice on purpose? I’m trying not to do juice. You’re trying to not do juice. I was just curious about the strategy. I just wanted to know the strategy. That was not a judgment. Yeah, I was trying to, I’m trying to go sans juice. Okay, great. Wow. This is really kind of quesadilla remix. It’s a little, you know, one note in terms of the color as well so far. It’s a yellow-dilla. Yellow-dilla. It’s very interesting. I’m excited. It’s your turn! I feel like holding at this point. Not an option. I don’t think that’s allowed. Not an option. Right? Yeah. Cause I’m kind of in a weird spot now where none of this other stuff is gonna work. Yeah. I think I can get by with black beans. Dang, that’s where I wanted to go next. So, toss me some black. Cause that would have been so nice with a little like black beans and the corn. That would have been good. That’s where I was going. So these are A Dozen Cousins Cuban black beans. They’re delicious, nice. You can microwave them right in the packet. Really easy to use. I’m gonna, I’m gonna dump out a few. Okay. So it can be tasted. Oh, got it, okay. On its own. And, you know, I’m not gonna. Wow. This is still, this is still okay. I’m not, I’m not panting. Okay, sure. I’m actually not panting. Yours is gonna take forever to cook. Hey, listen, people said that what Salvador Dalí was doing was crazy, so, who am I to judge art? Yeah. Okay, I am moving on. Well, you are the judge. And I actually don’t feel bad about this. I don’t feel bad about this at all. Cause I don’t think those Doritos are gonna compliment this color, this color and this flavor. I’m going with the pickles. I’m gonna pickle this thing up a little bit. Okay. – Yeah. – I love a pickle. And you love these especially. And I love these especially, they’re really good. I don’t think what you’re doing is right, but I’m interested. You know? Why are they so thick? Good gosh. It’s a thick pickle. Those are some thickles. It’s a thickle. Kosher pickle chips from Dietz & Watson. They’re so good. And a little bit of pickle goes a long way. So I’m gonna, just kinda get this. Say something. They’re good. They’re delicious. What is the other company that makes the trendy? – Grillo’s. – Yeah. They’re different. They’re different types of pickles. That’s a lighter pickle on the pickle. On the cucumber. This is like a harder pickle. Well then I like this better then. Thank you. That’s not, Grillo’s is not who I’m thinking about. There’s a third one I guess. No, I’m sorry. Because Bubbies comes in a glass. A little more trendy. It comes, more trendy than Grillo’s? They have some that are either pickled more. Probably. Because I don’t like, I don’t like cucumbers. Okay. Let me save that. What I think is so smart about what you do is that you took one pickle and used a little of it as an accent. Yeah. Instead of feeling like you have to use so much. Right. Of every ingredient. Right, right, right, right. And I think that’s a good strategy. Right, right, who might do that? I just. I don’t know. I got to hold, I got to hold. – You know, you can’t. – That’s not allowed. You can’t hold bro. You got to go capers or spinach. That’s literally the one thing they’ve told me. That’s the one thing they told me about this is that you’re not allowed to skip. You can do pretty much anything else. So then what did you do? Oh, I didn’t mean to. Okay so. All right. So. So no, I am not doing cream spinach. I, for my last one, because capers are a form. – I’ll take the spinach. – Of pickle. I’m going to accent with some capers. All right. I’m nervous. I thought we were going to do maybe just capers instead of pickles. I think maybe, I don’t know, it could almost give like a picadillo type vibe. Maybe a little bit. I think they’re going to compliment. I’m excited. Well, I have the cream spinach and you know what? I just think I want a little, it’s a little garnish. I don’t need to use that much of it. In the quesadilla though? – Yeah. – Okay. It’s just a little. It’s just a little, a little surprise in the middle. And then that’s, that’s it. But you don’t need that everywhere. Yeah. It’s called the center surprise. Alright. And then, I’ve also gone with the chicken strips, which are, which are huge. Damn, this thing’s thicker than me! Alright, so I gotta, I’m gonna smush her down. Smush it down. I can’t forget about my chips. Oh, yeah. And you put them on last minute so they’d stay crunchy. That’s right, you do that. I’m gonna go ahead and get my thing ready over here. Gonna get pretty hot. Going up to medium heat. Yeah, I’m pumping it up over here. It’s so interesting. I thought the compliment I gave to Rhett was so clear. Me too. And then you did this. You said you don’t have to put it everywhere, so I didn’t put it everywhere. I said you don’t have to put so much, it’s just an interesting interpretation of what I said. Yeah, I put a, I just put a little bit. There’s just one big glob in the center. But I’m hoping you’re not gonna eat that. Well, unfortunately I will have to eat from the center now, cause I gotta get a bite of all the ingredients. Right. No, it’s just, I don’t think you should. Okay. Okay, so I am gonna press down just to, it will break a little bit, that’s fine. Got it, that’s like when you put chips on a sandwich, you gotta press it down a little bit. Now, I’m gonna press mine down a lot. And you’re pressing for, he’s breaking up his chips, what are you pressing for? Oh, because it’s just so thick. Big, okay. It’s just so thick. Damn. It’s like, I’m always doing something with your fist and I’m, it’s like I try to not and yet. All right, how do I, this is not even gonna fit on this thing. Oh, I got a little sizzle, that’s nice. Gonna close it down. Rhett did such a better job. Like in every way. There we go, that’s gonna be nice. Okay. Hold on, you want this? How much am I allowed to help him? None! Okay, okay. Alright. I don’t want to be unfair to you, but I’m also scared. It slipped right out. Oh, it went on your thing. And then I smush. Wow. Okay. Sounds like people back there are crying? Just remember, if at any point you start doubting that this is gonna be good, just remember, it’s got pineapple on it. And spinach. Pineapple and cheddar. And black beans. I know this isn’t even cheddar. I will buy pineapple and American cheese totally. I am on board. I think the spinach strategy was bad. And I do think you messed up by not getting the flour tortilla. So you think that if I had done my whole thing the same with American cheese? I think it would still be good because this is the thing. Yeah. It is. Is the Mexican blend better? Yes, obviously. But American cheese melts like a dream and is delicious. There’s also so many toppings on these. Yeah, you’re not wrong. I don’t know. That’s, that’s my initial thoughts before tasting them. I will say I do not like eating burnt food. – Just something to think about. – I don’t think it’s burnt. No, yours is absolutely not burnt. Yours is not cooked. Okay, I feel ready. Okay. Ooh, look at all that cheese just coming off of the back side. I’m gonna have to eat my words cause yours looks really good. You’re gonna have to eat this quesadilla. Yours looks good too. Dang, look at that. Wow. Now that we’ve added heating to this competition, which for some reason was not an option in previous ones. Right. This has really made the food look much better. See, how do I want to cut? I’m going to cut this right. Okay. This is smelling really, really nice. I mean, both smell good. They’re going to be so hot on my little hands. That’s hot. If only someone would feed them to me. I mean, I would gladly. Now this thing is flat. I really succeeded at flattening this thing. I mean, yeah, you pressed it down for sure. And I will say just out of fairness, you do have to get me a piece with the spinach in it. I’m sorry. Look, I’m going to the middle. I’m just saying, I’m just clarifying. I don’t see any spinach. I see a little green. I don’t see any at all. Is there any green? This is some over here maybe. Right there. This corn is hard to cut. Yeah. God, it’s hard to cut. You don’t have to cut it. Like, well, if this messes up, I’ll just go to the other side. Yeah, because I’m like, I could just eat that in half if that’s what you prefer. I see green in there. Good job, yeah. Is it hot? Is it hot? Is it hot? Now, now you do need to go, we need to go. What? What? It looks good. You need to go. What? I know. Take a deep bite. I know. This isn’t my first rodeo. Is it hot? It’s too hot? Well, let it go. I’m trying. Just breathe. Just breathe. And then, I’m gonna go. Oh, it’s hot. Tastes delicious. Did you get any pineapple? Somehow, not really. I’m just giving, I’m getting the faintest hint of sweetness on the back end. The American cheese is delicious, the tortilla is delicious. I didn’t get any chicken tender, which I think is a miss. Oh, I got that. Okay, well, good for you. Let me see if I can give you another bite. Yeah, I’ll take another bite if you need me to. I think the hash browns are so good. Yep. I honestly think you could have done more with the spinach. I think the spinach is good. Wow. Okay. I’m disappointed that I can’t taste the pineapple. I’m shocked. I’ve got you, now mine, thinned out nicely. Again, this is not just a quesadilla. It’s a mulita? Mulita. Mulita. Oh, got a little finger. I want to taste some of this chorizo. Soy. Soyrizo. Wow, what yours is fully missing is spice. This is a quesadilla you make for a white child. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. The texture is nice. It’s very cheesy. Sure. But it’s not, I didn’t get. Pickle! Where’s the pickle in this? What about the capers? That soy chorizo. That’s a good thing. There’s a pickle bite. The capers are buried? I didn’t get capers. There’s like six capers in there because there are surprises. It’s better without the pickle, but the pickle is still good. Are you just eating it or did you find me a chicken tender bite? Yeah, I was just eating it. Okay. You don’t have to. You just said you wanted to and I want to judge fairly. I don’t know where it is, where are they? Oh, it’s back there. Okay, I’ll do one more bite and then I’ll say. How do you feel about how you did? Ooh, it’s getting. I feel like if you told me that this was like a specialty from a food truck, I would actually believe you. Okay. Like, that’s how it’s coming together for me. I love that. How do you feel about how you did? It’s, it needs more pineapple. Okay. I put a lot of cheese on it. Cheese and tater. Wow. The issue I’m having right now, well, I don’t even know if I should say it. I don’t want to give everything away, but it’s like, okay. I wouldn’t vote for mine. I tasted his, but it’s okay. Well, you tasted the whole thing or you tasted the soy chorizo? Let me taste yours. I feel like we should, you know, I have to. Just pick that one up and bite it. It ain’t bad at all. No. After gnawing on mine over here, I’m really experiencing the lack of flavor in yours. That’s what, that’s what I, I’m not going to go. If I get that at a food truck, I’m going to be disappointed. Yeah. I didn’t need your criticism. I’m so split down the middle because his tortilla tastes so much better than your tortilla. And if this had some hot sauce on it, I think it would be delicious. Yeah. I don’t know if I’m allowed to let you win, because I can picture it with one more ingredient, and it would be delicious. Yes, you can. But there really is almost no flavor. Yeah, it’s just cheese, it’s just cheese and. Texturally, it’s beautiful. Okay, can I? You can do whatever you want. Can I call a tie? Well, I mean, it’s really completely up to you, Jordan. Jordan, but. No? We’ve been watching for 25 minutes. Okay, so we want a winner. I mean, well, you know what? Whatever you feel deep in your heart. No, I’m feeling you want a winner. Tell me. Well. Stevie? I don’t know. Tell me. Come on. Lesbian to lesbian. Tell me. I feel like we need a winner. Stevie wants a winner. Stevie wants a winner. Alright. Fine. Stevie wants a winner. And that winner is Rhett. But like, once again, I wanted to call a tie. And I think what’s most important is that you both seem really happy with what you’ve done because you’ve both eaten almost everything you’ve made. I mean. So I think that’s the biggest takeaway. You both seem really happy. And I stand by the pineapple. And you know what? I’m a convert. I’m gonna start putting crushed canned pineapple on my quesadillas now. There’s a little bit back here. Just try it right there. Okay. See if you get any. The way you’ve kind of opened it to reveal it to me is. Don’t worry. Just trying it. You’ve already lost. Get a little bit of pineapple. I don’t know. I mean, yeah, pineapple and black beans taste good together. But this is good. This was a good one. This is one of the best tasting of both options y’all have ever provided me. With those ingredients? Well, that’s saying a lot. I truly cannot believe it. I had a, what a great day at work today. We have all won today. But especially me. I’m sorry.
