GMMore 2728: Who Makes The Best Avocado Toast?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. You wanna see us compete to make the best avocado toast? I hope so, cause that’s what’s gonna happen. By drafting these ingredients. And having it judged, we’ll do it. But first, we’re going to donate $1,000 to the National Foundation for Affordable Housing to aid in their mission to create solutions to address the affordable housing crisis nationwide. And you know what? You can help us give by going to foundationhousing. com. Yes! Being your Mythical best. All right! Welcome, Myrick. Come on in here. Hello. Hey, hey, hey. How are ya? Good. We’re doing good. How are you? I’m fine. So, give us a, um, a primer on avocado toast. From your perspective. I think it has to be some kind of toasted bread. There has to be a thick amount of fresh avocado on top. Which we have here. It can be mashed, it can be sliced. And then, I think that’s really all you technically need. Maybe some lemon, maybe some salt. And then, And you need to, you, don’t you need to be out to eat it? Don’t you need to be at like a place, ideally? You feel like it’s only a restaurant food. It feels to me like it’s a brunch out kind of a thing. Maybe eating on a on a sidewalk or a cafe. That makes sense to me. I feel like I eat avocado toast at home a lot, but I would just call it like, I’d be like, I put avocado on toast. I’m not like, it is avocado toast. Oh, okay. Oh, interesting distinction. I can see that. I’ve never made it at home, but I’ve ordered it out. I only order it out. Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever ordered it out. Really? It seems so easy to make at home. So I’m like, if I’m going out, I’m getting like, I’m getting something that, like, would take so much labor at home. I don’t make, I’ve never made it my meal. It’s always the pre meal. Oh! It’s an appétis. Yeah. Okay. Alright, I won last time, uh, by no fault of my own. So, uh, Rhett, you get to draft first. Okay, so the two breads options are sourdough toast and sourdough English muffins. I think you’re gonna be fine either way. I’m sorry. If you want the muffin, you can have it. I think I’ve gotta start with toast, because, uh, this is avocado toast. Well, I’ll take the other one. I don’t even see it yet. Where is it? Where is mine? Right here. There you go. We love those English muffins, though. I’m gonna take the muffins. So, Sporked, you love the sourdough English muffins. We do. They’re so good. And they have so many nooks and crannies, which I think Actually like, you know, this is more traditional for avocado toast, but I think this is like gives you a good canvas. Boy, I love the look of that toast. It’s nice, right? Smells good, too. St. Louis sourdough. Man, that’s giving off some sourdoughness. Okay, um there are so many ways that this can go wrong from here. There really are. And I don’t really know how to prevent that from happening for at least one of us. Yeah, Justine was like, let’s give them some wild options for this one. Well, you did that. And I said, please don’t. Okay, too late. Try to think of ways to prevent things from happening later. Okay. Like, ways to cover mistakes. You could call it a defensive play, but that’s why I’m gonna go with the chili crisp. Ah! Oh, that’s what you wanted? I love chili crisp. Okay. It’s so good, and you’re saying this is like, some of the best you can get? It’s unbelievable. Well, we got it over here! Is it crunchy? It is so good. It’s crunchy. It has such a strong kind of Sichuan mala numbing flavor and sensation. We really loved it. Does it have the crunchy beans in it? This one does not because it’s not that type, but we do have one on sporked.com that we love that has the crunchy black beans in it. See, if there’s anything you think you like, then they know which one of that you need to eat. That’s right. They’ve tried everything. Except the stuff they’ve yet to try. That’s true. Crap. That’s what I wanted, man. Uh oh. Yeah, I kinda knew you were gonna try that. Uh, alright, if you’re going with that spicy, spicy, I’m going with one of my favorite things up here. You know, there’s, there’s, there’s rarely a time when I’ll buy a sauce, and then when it’s empty, I’m like, well, I got to get another one. Sure. It’s usually like I’ll move on to a different specialty type of sauce. You going with the Truff? But I love this Truff hot sauce. I do, too. It’s very fancy, it’s very, um. It almost tastes like truffle and hot sauce and barbecue sauce had a baby. Yeah. A little bit. And there’s a white one, too. That’s the fancier one, the more expensive one. Oh, yeah, I have both of them. Oh, brag. Okay. I don’t know which one I like better, but I love this on spaghetti. Ooh, like marinara spaghetti? Yeah. Interesting. I’ve never had it. I’ll try it. Okay. I just throw it on the top. Delish. Oh, I love, we got it house at, at house, I have it at house. Did you get nervous buddy? I have house. I’m trying to continue to make it seem like I live at home. I have it at house. Okay, we’re neck and neck right now. We’re gonna talk after. Okay. Oh wow. Uh, you know what? We’re kind of, yeah, we really are neck and neck. It’s like, hot sauce, hot sauce, I don’t know. I feel like you need to slide towards me a little bit. It’s about to go off the rails. You’re not right in the middle. It’s about to go off the rails. You just want me to be closer to you. Yes, and, Freak. Especially, especially when you need to be impartial. Okay, is this better? No, now you’re a little too close to me. I feel like I’m gonna go with a texture play here. All right. And I think it’s gonna be very complementary to my chili crisp. Okay. I’m going with the Flamin Hot Cheetos, No! Tangy Chili Fusion. Interesting. Do I keep taking the things you’re gonna get? Wow. Let’s try these. Okay. Tangy Chili Fusion. They’re very good. I don’t know if I would’ve gone with these next. I do like how they kind of made them into really little bites. There’s so many other things that might happen that can go wrong that I’m trying to do something that I know is not gonna be the wrong choice. I don’t know why you need that when you have the Chili Crisp already. That’s how I feel. Again. But texturally. Because it’s complimentary and it feels like It’s like a buy round for me, you know what I’m saying? It also is very citrusy. So since you don’t have lemon. As an option even. I don’t know. Green tea seaweed snacks, that’s just so weird. Sure. Plant based egg. How’s that gonna come out if I choose that? It’ll be cooked. Like an egg? As much as it can be. I’ll take that then. Wow. Eggs from plants. Eggs from plants. This stuff is really good. If you don’t eat eggs, can’t eat eggs, this is a really nice option. We tried a lot of fake egg and this is by far the best one. Surprised you chose it. Yeah, me too. I’m surprised you chose it over other stuff. I do like the colors though. Sure, beautiful. It looks like real egg, doesn’t it? Yeah, it does. I’m afraid to taste it, honestly. Why? I don’t know. Be brave. I’ll taste it a little bit. Uh, Rhett, what are you choosing? I I think. It’s dancing off my fork. Oop. See how it dances off the fork? You’re having a hard time today. I think I’m gonna go with the feta cheese. Yeah, pretty good, right? Like, for a vegan egg alternative? Yeah, it’s pretty good. I’m sending mine in a direction. The feta direction. Hmm, interesting. What’s going on? Uh, I like the idea of a, cause I got crunchy. Crunchy, creamy, creamy? Creamy, creamy, crunchy, crunchy. And I actually think that the chili crisp, even though this is a bit of a fusion play at this point, we’re kind of bringing two parts of the world together. This is like, the great, uh, what was the, the, the, the Silk Road? That went from the Middle East To the far east. Okay. This is a Silk Road themed, uh, avocado toast. Okay. I know almost nothing about the Silk Road, so I’ll take your word for it. I, this is going to be brunch. Okay. In Silver Lake. Oh, okay. All right. More familiar to me. Mine comes with a little history lesson. Let’s see. Um, I’m, I’m really tempted by that salt and vinegar seasoning. Cause I just feel like. Maybe I want to have that in my pantry. I’m just, I, I, I can’t wait to experience it. It’s good. I don’t think I’m ready yet. Okay. We got a lot of options still. I’m going to go, since I’ve gone with the fake eggs, I’m gonna go with the fake sausage. I think that is a great choice. I’ve had it in, I’ve had before. It’s delicious. We keep telling you this is good. It’s delicious. It really tastes like real chorizo. Less fatty, I’ll be honest with you, but it still tastes good. The flavor is there. It’d probably be better mixed in with stuff. Yeah. The interesting thing is that. Yeah, I don’t think you should eat spoonfuls of it by itself necessarily. The thing that we’re both trying to avoid that Go for it. We’re both going to end up with fish. Everyone is playing very timidly is what I’m currently feeling. And so what I’m doing is I am laying the groundwork of the Silk Road with smoked salmon. Okay. This is what I’ll say. Because I don’t want to get stuck with tuna. I want to, I actually think the salmon and the feta and the chili crisp, I’m actually happy with what I’m building at this point. You could still end up with tuna. Yeah, I hope you do. A duo of fish. I really hope you do. I like fish. Cause I took the soyrizo for the team. No, this is good. Soyrizo is not a bad choice. I just, I, I don’t know how you feel about seaweed snacks, but I just can’t abide by it. Okay. Um, I don’t really need the mayo. Okay. And I hate blue cheese. Okay. And I know I’m making this for you, but I don’t want to make something for you that I wouldn’t like myself. Sure. Okay, well that’s gonna limit your options. Yeah. But we do have a lot of similarities, so I think that that’s not a not smart move. Salt and vinegar. Give me, give me the salt and vinegar seasoning. I don’t want you to have that. Okay. It was where I was gonna go next because I thought it was a kind of. Wow. It’s a bit of a buy, you know what I’m saying? It’s like, it’s just seasoning. Fry’s. Seasoning. Yeah. And so this stuff is strong, huh? Yes. When you put your, uh, put an L on, uh, soyrizo. Yeah. Gotta do that. I do really feel you both playing very tentatively. I just went salmon. It’s, it’s about to get real. I’m, I’m like a history professor. You’re saying a lot. I, I’m like one of those history professors Doing a little. That is doing a Skype call and then, for his class, and then made himself look like like an animal on, you know, the Skype video call, but then he acts like it’s an accident, but he’s really just trying to be funny. Oh. What an interesting scenario I haven’t heard of. If you haven’t noticed, uh, Grab that salmon. Me? Rhett, and put it here in the middle. You are wearing a Soyrizo and salmon shirt. Oh! Oh, my God. Oh, look at that. I’m a genius. Wow. You’re playing the long game. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Good noticing. You’re still splitting the difference. Wow. Was it my go? No, it’s me again. Stop calling me. So, I am making a, I’m doing two things here. I’m making a bold choice. I’m making a bold choice. It’s me again. Is that scream? Uh. Or something else. It’s just a funny line. Oh, it’s just a thing you’re saying? He hasn’t seen any movies. You’ve never seen Scream? It’s me again. No. It’s me. Again. Again. Yeah, he hasn’t. That’s what, I just figured he was on the phone calling me again. Oh. Uh, I’m making a bold choice. Stop calling me. That’s what I said. Since, since you said that I’m not making bold choices, I am about to make one. I didn’t say that. No, no, I’m making one that I actually want to make. Okay. Because I like blue cheese. Okay. And I want blue cheese and I think it mixes well with feta. And, uh. Interesting. You got off a little bit on that one. I feel like no matter what, the ultimate loser today will be me. Alright, so now we’re down to seaweed, mayo, and tuna. I like how much you keep saying it. It feels like you’re trying to trick me. And I think that’s smart. I think manifestation can be real. I feel like this I’m gonna be okay with the seaweed snacks. What? Okay. I think you’re gonna be okay with that. Why don’t you just take the spicy mayo? I’m finishing off with the spicy mayo. Because I have this spicy mayo. But that’s not spicy mayo. You also have canned tuna. Just so you know. Cause that’s just what happened. Oh god. It’s good canned tuna. It’s very nice quality canned tuna. Give me the canned tuna and let’s start to build this stuff. Okay. We’re doing it. We’re doing it. So. The way that I’m gonna, the way that I’m gonna throw this on there. I don’t like any little brown bits. I will say that. Just keep that in mind. No brown, no brown bits. Alright, I got rid of the. There we go. I got rid of the top, but this right here. Oh, I heard you. I heard you loud and clear. Yeah. You said a nice, thick. There we go. I heard that at the beginning of this. Thank you for listening. That is just super, super, super tall. I love that. I’m basically using all of the non brown. Thank you. Avocado that I possibly can. Yeah, I like that you’re really hunting out the brown. I just hate when avocado gets like, stringy. Do you know what I mean? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ooh, I hate that. And then, you don’t need too much of that. It’s okay that it’s falling on the plate. I’ll clean that up later. Don’t need too much of the egg, but the protein, it’ll, it’ll keep you going through the early afternoon. And then you’ll need to drink some mimosas. Alright! Do we have any of those here? Additional ones. Okay. To immediately chase it? Yeah. I just don’t know, how am I gonna do soyrizo and, Tuna? Tuna. Faith? I don’t know. Man. I’m gonna do some choppy, choppy, choppy. It really feels like my team forgot that I have to eat this. It felt like they wanted to make it fun for you guys. Yeah, I don’t know if there was a combination of these ingredients that would have left you in a good spot. I think this is the first time we’ve ever done this that I said, there was no leaving happy. Everything is bad. And then I’m gonna go with this stuff. But I’d love to be proven wrong. Maybe one of these is gonna really be incredible and I’m gonna start eating soyrizo with tuna all the time. Right. Yeah, it’s a bit scary, but we’ve all been stuck with something. Look at what Rhett’s doing over there. I mean, what he’s doing is very beautiful. I’m building, this is what they call the Silk Road. Do you see that? I Yeah. Wow. It’s very road like. It is very visually stunning. I mean, I’ve never seen the rubric for how you’re judging this, but I didn’t think it included, like, storytelling. It can include truly anything that I feel moved by. There are no rules. Yeah, so as we’ve seen, feeding me, being sweet to me. Do you wanna scrunch that in your fist? Do you want me to? Yeah, just scrunch that in your fist and just kinda like. Making me work is, I’ll tell you, not something that gets you bonus points. Is it gonna come apart? There you go. There you go. Yes. Do that. There you go. There you go. And then we’re done with that, and you did it, you did it for yourself. I did not like that. The way that you wanted to do it. No. I did not like that. Is that it for me? Oh, no, no, no. Of course not. You gotta get hot sauce, you gotta get that salt and vinegar seasoning. This stuff right here. I’m making a bit of a rainbow. This is very beautiful. Like, as a gay symbol? Uh huh. Yep. This is, this is what I call Avocado pride. Wow. Avocado pride : the silk road. This is about how gayness was brought. To America, to, Bought gayness? From one part of the Silk Road to the other. We don’t know what parts those were. That’s how gayness got around. That’s awesome. You’re making it sound like people caught it. Like a sickness. The sailors all had it. They didn’t have enough citrus and they all got gayness. It was like scurvy. It’s like scurvy, yeah. It’s a vitamin deficiency. Wow. Big flavor. That does not play. No. I cannot go hard with that. And yet he did. I don’t think I did. You put a lot on it. Alright. Alright. Don’t breathe. I’m getting tear gassed. Don’t breathe on this show. Alright, so I’m gonna get rid of all this. Okay, there. I gotta make it look good, cause this is, this has gotta be ready for the picture. Yeah, they’re taking professional pictures of both of your finished products. For the thumbnail. I’m moving this, this is nice, but it’s not part of the plan. Sure. Yeah, these do have to be served open faced. Yeah, I, I lost sight of that for a second and then I remembered. Sure. We’re gonna get rid of this too. Looks like, you’re not done, I don’t think. Right, I’ve got it. Okay. I’ve got it. I’m gonna dress my plate. Did you, have I told you about what happened in, uh, the year 743? No, I would love to hear. When spicy mayonnaise rained down on the Silk Road. Wow, I wish I was alive for that. Yep. Yep. All right. With that. Wow, I’m very happy with this! It looks cool! But isn’t this cute? And that looks cute, too. And I think both are gonna taste bad. And I don’t think that’s your fault. I think that’s the Sporked team’s fault. Jeb, you coming over here? Yes. All right. Wow. So, against all odds, we have both made our open faced sandwiches. It happened. And? And now it’s time for you to do your job. Okay, can you please roll up my sleeves or pull them up or something? Because my hands are coated in green tea seaweed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My hands are only a little bit wet because I’m wiping them down. Thank you. Okay, alright, okay, there you go. That’s real close to a hug. Do you want me to slice this in half so you can get a cross section in the middle? I can’t tell you that. I want you to do what you think is right. That’s pretty. I want you to do what you think I want. Okay, super. I’m gonna cut it. Okay. Butter knife. That’s all I have. I didn’t say anything. I just observed. I just feel like, it’s not that mine is ugly, it’s just that yours is so flat. It’s almost like a historical route for trade. Wow. Mine’s just more like a, a mound of. Yeah, what’s her story? What’s her story? Historically? Oh, it’s perfect. This is the piece I want you to have that one. This is somebody in Silverlake, uh, went, had some extra time on their hands and, um, went, went for, went for a late breakfast and, um, lo and behold, they had a brunch menu. Oh. Oh, so this is the story of me eating it. Not the story of the thing. Okay. This is for you. It’s never been made before. No one’s ever tasted something quite like this. You’re the first. Wow. You’re describing it the way they describe improv when you go see an improv show. They’re like, it’s never been done before, it’ll never be done again. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Vinegary. What are you tasting? It definitely could taste worse. I’m getting vinegar. And I’m getting Truff hot sauce. That’s this right here. I’m missing. That’s this right here. I’m not getting tuna. Good. I’m not really getting seaweed. Good. Let me take one more bite. Smells like tuna, though. Smells like stuna. Tastes like, tastes like, uh, Smells like stuna. Smells like stuna. Tastes like stu tuna. I feel so sad. I know, I know. Okay, um, this one? Yes. I wish I hadn’t done this at all. That is pretty, though. And then I, so I bite this side, then I bite this side? Yeah, yeah, uh huh. Before swallowing, or I eat this whole bite, then eat that whole bite? Uh, I think that you should experience each side of the Silk Road. Because you gotta come and then you gotta go. So true. Famously, two different, famously two different sides of it. Alright, Jordan is in the market for some silk. Uh huh. And hungry for some silk. And then, I think Jordan’s getting some silk. I just want you to think about the first gay person ever that was dressed completely in silk walking down the road. We learn about him. Yeah. In gay college. And now you’ve got it. Wow. You’ve got the silk, so now you need to come back down the road with your silk. Silk. I’m covered in silk. I’m gayer than I was before. That’s right. Blue cheese. And feta. Blue and feta. Hmm. What’s it taste like though? Today is a day in gay history. I learned a lot. I ate two things I didn’t like. Oh god. And I feel afraid. We went too far. Too many ingredients. Um, I’m mad at my team. I’m mad at my boss. Justine. I think of her as a friend. I know the names of her children. I buy her a Christmas gift. Um, and this is not the way you treat somebody. It’s not too late to not do that this year. That you, yeah, you, you know, you think of like that. Um, wow. Um, I guess if I had to choose one. You do. Both of them have a potent aroma when you put them up to your face and bite into them, which is how you eat avocado toast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The one with the least potent aroma. Is Rhetts. Oh, great. Really? Yours, because of the seaweed and the tuna, Oh, and the truffle. It smells like straight up fish, um, mixed with truffle. So it’s hard, even though it didn’t taste that bad, putting it up to your face is not a pleasant experience. This, you almost exclusively get chili crisp. And there is so much of that numbing Mala flavor, kind of numbs your mouth and I taste almost nothing else. So strategically, it was smart. There’s some good textures. This feels like kind of a huge loss for the company at large today. Okay, I’ll take it. No winner, really. I’ll take a W on an L day, any day. Yeah.
