GMMore 2806: Who Makes the Best Burrito Bowl?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. Let’s make the best burrito bowl that we can, using these ingredients in a face off match that is judged– Calm down. By Jordan Myrick. I didn’t think you liked competition. I do today. But first, let’s check our voicemail. Hey guys, did you know that shellac, which is found in many candies, including raisinets and candy corn, is made from the secretions of the female lac bug? Okay, bye. Okay. I think– Nope. I think it was shellac. Shellac. Shellac. Like what you put on your– Shellac! Floor surface. All right. Jordan Myrick, come on down. Myrick, your Rick. Everybody’s, Rick. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten an applause before for coming in. Yeah, that’s right. Oh my God. Oh my God. Look at this. Look. Okay, this… Would you just look? This feels unfair. We’re dressed the same! This feels unfair. We’re dressed the same. It feels unfair. It feels preplanned. My, my thighs are like your whole leg. Yeah. Feels preplanned. I love these pants. What do you got going on? I like these too. Well, I mean, I have a blue shirt like this. And we got, whoa. Whoa! Sleevies! Okay. I’m happy to see you guys. I feel like I haven’t seen you in a hot minute. Yeah, it’s been a while. What you been up to? Oh, you know, just working here. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And cleaning my house. I feel like those are the two, only two things I do. Yeah, I, you know what, those are the two most important things. That’s a lifestyle choice and I, I agree with it. Yeah. Who’s going first? Let’s get into this rock paper, scissors. Rock, paper, scissors. Shoot. Hey, here we go. Okay. If it’s fair, it’s fair. So we’ve got the base of rice. This is rice. I can’t believe we haven’t done burrito bowls before. That was shocking to me when I got this assignment. Huh? Well we are doing it now. Sorry I said anything. Well, we’re doing it now. Sorry I said anything. Ah, I– the meat choices are interesting. We’ve got shrimp, chorizo, the soy chorizo, and….. fried chicken. Hey, that’s fun. Um, we don’t do, you know, Sporked doesn’t do like ground beef, regular or whatever. Yeah. More like a. But I know you like this, this, uh. Pulled pork. This soy chorizo and it’s got a great flavor. I do. So I’m actually gonna start with the chorizo. I love that. Huh. Yeah. Huh. Well then, uh. I’m gonna go with the fried shrimp ’cause I’m curious about these fried shrimp. Tell me about these. Delicious. They taste really good. They’re some of the best fried shrimp we’ve had. They’re tiny and they’re cute, but they have a really nice flavor without being fishy, they get real crunchy. Uh, yeah. That’s good. Yeah. What’s the brand? Wild caught Kroger. Yes. You made a choice though. That’s a seafood bowl now. The specific flavor profile. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Just ’cause I wanted to go ahead and taste the shrimp. You’re gonna be chasing that the whole time, which is fine with me. Oh, stickers don’t, don’t you worry. Oh, sticker. Sticker stickers. Um, I do like, you know, I love shrimp. And you know, I love shrimp. So I don’t think it’s a bad idea. I just think you gotta play with more strategy. Right. Um, I would like the Mexican shredded cheese. That means I’m gonna get the fried chicken. Because. Okay. What I don’t want is to just have shrimp as my only. Can you put that on the cheese? He’s doing surf and turf. Yeah. Yep. Surf. What did you get, Rhett? I got the shredded cheese. Yeah. Wow. This is a quick back and forth. We got two fried things over here. Is that the only cheese though? Yeah. Oh, no. Want a run? Tell me about this fried chicken because it’s delicious. It is. Some of the best store-bought fried chicken you can get. It’s crispy, it’s flavorful, it cooks up quick, it’s affordable. It’s good. So is it already cooked and you’re just– Mm-hmm. Air frying it again or something? Yeah. Wow. Good. Right. Peppery. That’s impressive. Thank you. Um, I’m so, so far I’ve just gotten things I want to taste. You like. Yeah. I just, I guess I’m hungry. I don’t think it’s a bad strategy. We do have. But I don’t have cheese. We have similar pouts in a lot of ways. Okay. I’m gonna go with the salsa. Delish. These Mateos salsas are so good. I really haven’t had a bad flavor of them. Oh. Oh, that looks nice. It looks nice and hearty. I wish we just had like, chips to eat with it. Oh, oh, you’re tasting it. Shake before using. They, they did that. Ooh, that’s a good flavor. They did that off screen, right? Oh yeah. Damien shook it really good. Yeah. Yeah. That’s a really good. He’s always shaking it over there, trying to distract us. You can always count, man. That’s good. Delish, right? Spicy. And they have so many different flavors. That’s like it. It’s hard to find a really strong, good, solid salsa in a jar. Yeah. ’cause a lot of ’em taste like acid. This does not, it’s not too spicy. I think you’ll like it. You just want, you can get more than that. It’s not that spicy. I think it’s gonna do wonders for my bowl. It’s, it’s thin. Yes. It reminds me of on the border. Yes. Salsa. Uhhuh. Sure. Familiar. Yes. We also, you know, I, I used to work there. No you didn’t. No you didn’t. Hot dog on a stick. No. Remember I told you about the fajitas one time? Oh yeah, you did. Tell us about the fajitas. They did throw some water on there. Mm-hmm. I was so confused. ’cause they were a hot dog on a stick. That changed a lot of things for a lot of people. When you revealed the fajita thing. How do I do it? That’s right. That’s right. What do I need? Sauce. Sauce. I do need sauce, don’t I? Well, we have hot sauce. It’s gonna be dry. I mean, sauce, hot sauce is the only sauce that that there is, right? Oh God. Yeah. I mean, you know what? He could have a crazy comeback. This is like he’s falling into a hole here in the beginning, but maybe he’s doing it for the drama. He, he loves drama. He loves drama. Mm-hmm. He loves drama. Famously. He loves drama. I’m a drama —. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. You made such direct eye contact with me when you said that. —- of drama. Okay. What does that mean to you? Popularity, self-worth. So that’s the result of it. But what does the thing itself mean? Yeah. Um, purpose. Got it. So. But like you have — Yes. With drama? What is it? What do mean? I never thought of it that way. Now I’m picturing, now I’m picturing the Pillsbury dough boy having — when you just did that. Sure. Don’t distract me guys. That okay? Sorry. Um, we’ll talk over here instead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m sorry, I, I apologize. I think Pillsbury was cute. You want me to take the hot sauce? I don’t wanna think about him and — though. Oh, him or the Pillsbury Joe Boy. No Pillsbury dough boy. No, you fine. Him and Pillsbury boy. Hot, I’ll take the hot sauce. What kind? Hot sauce. What kind of hot sauce is this? This is, uh, oh. You know what? Oh, this ya potato is hot. Hot. Hey, they have great, have you had their, the black one? Yes. It’s so good. Oh, it’s a habanero. Oh yes, it, it’s delicious. Once again, another brand I’ve never had anything bad from, but this stuff is hot if you like hot, which I do, so it’s perfect. Triple X, extra hot. That’s a really hot one. Try it. Ah, okay. Let me smell it. Smells good. Yeah, it’s delicious. I am going to do the sour cream. Oh shoot. Link. I needed that. I was gonna get that. Yeah. You needed it bad. Yeah, I was gonna get that when you made me get this. I am building. No one made you get that. You soft sauce. I’m building something. Yes. So wonderful right now. We were thinking this when we said sauce, or guac, or– Well, this has the word sauce. The only issue in mind right now is that it’s so pristine that one weird ingredient could throw it off where he’s just, he’s in crazy town already. Yeah. So maybe it’ll end up working. I think both. I’m really happy so far. I think both will be good. So it might just be like literally, which is better? Boop. Okay. Hi. Hello. I will take the G-U-A-C-A. M-O-L-E! Guacamole. Okay. That’s a good choice. I can’t remember exactly. I, I would have gone their next about this. So this is pre-made guacamole. I know. Which is not as good as avocado salsa pre-made, I will say. Um, but this one’s pretty good. It has tomatoes in it, which I don’t love, but either that, but it’s good. It’s good if you like that. I’m gonna pick those out. That might even be a bell pepper. That’s not even a. Yep. Okay. But you know what I’m saying, like for me it’s a little too much, but it’s good in general. There’s beans in this too. Yeah. It’s like a southwest dip. Ooh, that’s good. Yeah. Hmm. Good flavor. It’s corny almost though. There’s corn in it. It’s almost corny. ’cause there’s corn in it. It’s spicy too. You’re going, you’re gonna be in firmed. I’m excited. I love it. I’m going to do the black beans. Okay. Okay. Yeah, really classic. Over here. I’m just gonna go classic until like, oh gosh, if I don’t have to, okay. If he’s gonna keep letting me get the things that I want, I’m just gonna keep taking them. I love that. Well, what do you want next? I’m not gonna tell you. I think you probably know. I’ve just noticed how there’s so many of mine over there. I just wanna keep going over there. Yeah, I’ve been going over there and you’ve been going over there. Why are chickpeas on this? That’s a good question. Who did that? That’s weird. I think I have to go with the refried beans from Isadora. These are so good. You’ve had ’em before, but they’re delish and they come in a pouch. Food in a pouch is so much fun. I actually prefer refried beans over the black beans, but I thought that the black beans would be a, they will mix better in what I’m doing with it both. I love that construction standpoint. I love that. Now I’m curious, are you more burrito bowl or burrito. Burrito. I am burrito bowl at this point in my life. Wow. Because I’m just trying to– Everything that’s happened? Like, yeah, just the, the, the tortilla wars. Yeah. All you’ve been through. Yeah. It’s really sad. What about you? Burrito. Yeah. I love a tortilla. I think it’s maybe my favorite part of the whole burrito. Yeah. Oh, I don’t, I don’t, I’m not gonna disagree with you. It’s just, yeah. You know, just trying to be a good boy. I respect that because I’m such a bad boy on this show. Yeah, but you’re a good boy in general. Yeah, yeah. But I know that about you. I’m a good boy. I dunno if you want want me to say that on camera, but, oh no, you are a good boy. I’m trying to maintain my bad boy image though. Yeah, you’re a bad boy. Yeah, I’m a real bad boy. You’re a good boy. I’m a —. He’s a —. He’s a drama —. He’s a — . Um hmm. Okay. Chickpeas– Somebody’s gonna’– Calling your name, chickpeas for Rhett. He’s trying to trick you. I’m gonna go with the corn, canned corn. Chickpeas? I don’t even want the corn because there’s corn in my guacamole. There you go. I want the corn because I want the corn. Oh my gosh. Okay, great. That leaves me with the torilla chips. Delish. And that leaves me with the black olives. I got every single ingredient that I wanted. I don’t care. You have one more. And it stuck you with the chickpeas. A chickpea is fine. I love chickpeas. How is it possible that I got the things that I would just put. This is so classic. In a burrito bowl. I mean, I don’t know. This is crazy. All these are, and these are from on the borders. Yeah, we love on the borders Grocery store products. They’re so good. How, how thick is this? Normal. Thin, but also thick. Yeah. It’s not a Chili’s chip, but it’s, you know, right. That’s a good, that’s a good taste and chip. Yeah, absolutely. We work very hard. If you want to know what’s good to buy at a grocery store, go to Sporked.com. It is a service that we provide for you for free. You might have to see a few ads, but you’ll get over it. Does it say that on the website? You might have to see a few ads. That’s our slogan. But it’s such a, it’s such a pertinent service. Yeah. You probably have to see a lot of ads if we’re being honest. But that’s okay. But I think it’s worth it. That’s how we can provide you with a free service of eating stuff that, I mean, all of this stuff is a discovery for me. Yes, it’s really is useful. I use Sporked at the grocery store and I work here. I think I’m gonna go with a layer. I brought up Sporked many times while at the grocery store. To whom? Layered. Oh, you like, I like you pulled it up. Yeah. Yeah. And I, I’ve talked about it. You bet you were stopping people, letting them know. I’ve also talked about it to many people, spreading the good word. Grassroots advertising. Yes. This smells like dog food. Why? So, once again, Sporked is a company you own, so you don’t want to kind of say stuff like that. Alright. When we tell people stuff is good. So this doesn’t smell like dark food. This smells like beans. Smell that. Oh yeah, beans man. What you’ve taught me is that refronted beans taste, smell like dog food. I know what dog food tastes like, and they don’t taste like dog food. It, they just smell like beans. You know what I mean? Like some food smells like earthy, and a little meaty, and– Oops, didn’t need those anyway. We’re having fun. We’re getting wild. This is. I, I’m, I’m creating like a layered Yeah, I’m doing it. Actually, I started a layer and I’m doing a double layer. I’m, I’m eating a double layer layers. I’m gonna hide in there because this is just stupid. I will say when I go to a salad bar, I’m so excited to see just a chickpea. I don’t know why, but I love them. Got it. Not for this group. And I understand that. That’s for someone else. I like chickpeas. I was actually, yeah, Stevie. I was trying to tell you that. I’m just concentrating too hard. Thank you, Stevie. Yeah. Thank you guys. Seriously. I’m really glad we’re all here together. This is the most giving guacamole I’ve ever seen. It’s giving corn, it’s giving pepper. Would you say she’s serving? Yeah, it’s serving. It’s, it is giving so much. It’s serving. Yeah. And then would you say the guacamole’s a —? Uh, no, no, no, no. Okay. No, no. I’m just trying to figure it out. I, I’m, I’m, I gotta, I’m, I’m keeping the corner on [bleep]. Oh, so nobody’s [bleep] but you? Nobody but me. Oh, okay. What am I then. Well, you’re a lut. You’re about to get, if you keep it up a lut. So [bleep] with no S. Yeah. Hmm. Somebody Google that. Somebody Google [bleep] with no ‘s’ and tell me what comes up. I think it’s something that you load into a camera to tell it how to behave with colors. Okay. This is so hot that I’m gonna be careful. Okay. Somehow a Taylor Swift subreddit has come up. I’m being trolled. Um, okay. You wanna try that sauce? ’cause I’m afraid to. Here. You want some chip? Have I– Yes. See now what a chip can do for you is it can serve, speaking of, serve as your spoon. Got it. So you’re, you’re serving this serve with no spoon on just chip. Yeah. And I’ve created, well, there is a spoon as an option. And there’s kind of a sensory experience where there’s a bunch of shrimp in front of me while I eat it. That is a hot sauce. Yeah. Lemme get rid of these. I, I kind of wanted you to forget there was shrimp in it. Okay. Those will be removed. Why you were so excited about the shrimp. Yeah. But then kind of took a turn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s so good. I’m gonna, what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna, I’ve made that and I’m ready. I’m, I’m, I’m done. We’re done. We’re done. Okay. I’m, I’m gonna, I’m gonna get a little bit of this refried bean. Oh, shoot. Oh gosh. I’ve just really destroyed my chip broke a couple of times. That’s okay. And then I’m gonna get a little bit of this, and then I’m gonna put a shrimp on it, and then I’m gonna do this. What’s the verd? There you go. Okay. There we go. That’s good. I wanna know. Mm-hmm. Who, who do you thing is gonna win? Honestly? I mean, I think, unless you’re in a weird mood. Me? Okay. I think yours is boring. Okay. It’s not boring. It’s every choice that I would have made. Here, hold these for me. This right here, and it’s a little bit different ’cause it’s got the chorizo and the beans. Vegetarian, and I’m gonna eat ’em off the table. That way you get to pick which ones we want. There we go. Thinking about experience. Okay. I have to take such a big bite ’cause I have to get it all. Okay. Oh yeah. I’m gonna follow you on that. I mean, delish. I just wanna demolish though, but expected delish. Very expected. Yeah. It’s not interesting, but he kind of backed me into the corner. I just kept making the logical choices. Yes, absolutely. This is, that’s a great word to use to describe it. Logical, but I mean delicious. And I like the proportions. You did plenty of sour cream. Plenty of salsa. Mm-hmm. It’s very flavorful. I know. I’ve under salsa-ed you before. Yes. And I feel like I’ve learned my lesson. Yes. I’ve also over black olived you before. And so I decided to, you know, there’s like seven black olives in there. I think it’s perfect. It’s so tasteful. You really thought about proportions. I love it. Now I am, you know, I’m, I’m willing to be surprised by Link’s over here. I wanna try it. And you just told me to not use the spoon. I think you should use the spoon and then rake it onto a chip and then eat it. Okay. Link, can you gimme a guacamole loaded chip. This is some good guac, y’all. Uh, and. I really am not picking up on the tomatoes, so if you don’t like tomatoes. Maybe it’s not tomato. Maybe it’s, uh, pepper and I’m wrong. Yeah. I don’t think there’s, I’m not really getting any, so, okay. This is okay. Okay. And it’s, mine’s gonna have a kick to it that I think Rhett’s is missing. Okay. Hold on. Let me, I’m trying to get everything in one. But remember this. Whoops. This hot sauce is, is mine. Oh, yeah. Okay. Let me make sure I get some of that too. I’m trying to make sure I get a little bit of everything so it’s fair and square. I do think you did a really good job distributing everything in this bowl. Yep. That’s not always normally your strong suit. Right, right, right. And I think you did a great job. Thank you. I think eating off of a chip is going to be my, uh, my dagger. My dagger in the back of Rhett. Hmm. It is fun. It’s not bad. It’s fun. It’s fried, it’s extra hot. I love this. I think you could have done with more of that. I think you were a little reserved. I was scared. And because the guac, the beans, the rice, the chicken is also kind of mild and rich. Yeah. And, and you know, flat flavor wise, I think when I get a bite with that, it’s so nice. I wish there was more, I. Hmm. Okay. I need to take one more bite of both. Sorry. This is a close one. Honestly, it’s not bad. Legs are nuts. Not bad. Yeah. What do you think? I think I Did you try rats? I’m too bored by it to try it. Come on, look at it. It’s got everything you want in a burrito bowl. I don’t want to get a olive. Well, there’s not that many olives in it. You can easily avoid them. He seems mad at you. Is everything okay? Not worth the risk. Are you guys doing okay? Not really, no. Okay. It’s about to implode. Do you need to talk about it after we cut? We’re going to our couples counselor right after this. Great. Good. Yeah. That’s, that’s a, that’s a good sour cream. What is that? Wow. Good culture. Good culture does it right. Okay. Why is that fried chicken so good? It comes in a bag. It comes in a bag, isn’t it delicious? Alright. Can I get a drum roll, please? This is one of the hardest ones. We’ve done. Both were extremely delicious, but in the end, the winner is Link. I’m sorry, I didn’t want it to be like this, especially ’cause I felt like he was being kind of rude to you and I didn’t like that. Oh, okay. Yep. Mm-hmm. And I didn’t like that. Hey, I don’t like to see that. Hey, it’s friendly competition. I don’t like to see that. I didn’t mean any of it. I don’t like to see that. You know, I was just getting a little [bleep]. He’s our best friend and we can’t talk to him like that. Okay. Okay. Well, well it’s, it’s, it’s just uh, okay. You know what? You made the right choice. Then I’ll, I’ll, I’ll go with it. Thank you. I will say. The shrimp plus the chicken. Really fun. Makes it different. The guac is good. I don’t know. It’s, you know, it’s, it’s hard. Both were delicious. I’d happily eat either one. I just think this one surprised me a little more. Okay. But you also did a great job. Point taken. Point taken. No, but you did a great job too. Maybe I, I am in a kooky mood, like you said. That’s right. I didn’t know what kind of mood you were gonna be in today. Something’s wrong with me today and that’s why I picked this one. Right, right. That makes you my rick.
