jack and box curly fries up there with arby’s that’s what i was going to say what do you think arby’s or jack-in-the-box don’t put two hot queens against each other you know yeah i’m getting this burger i’ve never had this particular munchie meal me neither huge fan of their of their other munchie meals but this oh look at the amount of mayonnaise coverage oh yeah that’s what i wanted to say their burgers look kind of weird they look a little like uh particle boardy i call that a school lunch burger that’s exactly what it is i’m going to get a oh there’s a nice cheese i’ve got a piece of bone in my burger you know what i’m not mad about it i’m swallowing it oh i swallowed something that was too too thick yeah yeah definitely mmm rip open a hot sauce like a grenade yeah that hot sauce is not as like creamy cheesy as i thought it was going to be but we can make we can make it better for our version charlie fries and the taco oh that’s smart jagged mock tacos are the lowest level of food that i’m willing to consume you know really weird craving i had the other day i just wanted to open a can of manwich and eat it with a fork cold are you expecting definitely not i got a great lamaze class to recommend you i go there to meet women yeah not like not not romantically just kind of for friendship so now i’m like your wing woman yeah you’re exactly my wing woman jack-in-the-box has the perfect setup of everything the curly fries the regular fries the tacos and the cheeseburger in the same meal but there’s definitely ways that we can make this fancier like oh yeah i made one buffalo meat what we’ll figure it out we’ll get there eventually i didn’t bring my bow and arrow i just sounded like moira rush i didn’t bring my bow well all right so now i feel a little bit sick i don’t i feel great i’m all hopped up on mayonnaise and trans fats baby let’s go fancify this thing yeah get jacked with jack in the box emily we got all our buffalo parts out here but that’s actually not the most expensive part of this not by a long shot if you go by weight this is some incredible product this is roasted bamboo sauce take a nugget and pop it in your mouth really think about the flavors it’s one of the most incredible things i’ve ever experienced it’s a little eggy it’s not just a little leggy that is uh incredibly eggy anyways i’m going to start breaking down this buffalo do you want to pour all that in here let’s switch what i got i don’t know what i mean do you trust yourself with the knife i don’t think it matters because everybody’s telling me i gotta do stuff in this episode i can’t just stand there and make a deal breaker for you well i just you know i thought i was getting away with it i thought i was just getting to come on here and do nothing and just talk and then ben noticed what am i doing you pour all the peppercorns in there and then grind them up oh this isn’t broken anymore yeah i’m just gonna separate these into their chops and then again we’re gonna take yeah yeah we’re not gonna use all of it but might as well have it all ground up and so we’re actually gonna take all this and we’re just gonna chop it until it literally looks like ground beef and then we’re gonna get that we’re gonna baste in some buffalo butter we’re gonna get that fancy korean do i call it fart salt is that insensitive i don’t know i thought again i think it’s medicine because look it’s got like a doctor on it dr insan master of herbal medicine i think we’re using herbal medicine on our burger i don’t know if we should that sounds good okay i think it’s for pregnant women i think it’s and you know my feelings on pregnant women you have really got that on the brain man i can’t i just i can’t it’s not again it’s not like that the ability to create life it’s like a superpower yeah women is the future join us next time when we make sushi and get josh’s sperm checked follow mythical society to see my sperm count if you’re a platinum level member well i’m doing this do you want to start hacking with this meat but save this nugget okay and then you take this meat do you want me to kind of demo it for you sure yes all right so you’re going to do it like this a very simple technique so big so you want to sort of like get some sort of aggression out like imagine you’re uh i don’t know hacking up like the youtube algorithm that won’t let us drink on camera or else we get demonetized for instance but if they don’t see us drinking then it’s not a big deal i dropped my phone oh that’s just too bad we both need to get that phone nicely done where’s my whoa i almost got my phone nice okay cheers phone fail again oh god that’s a good phone i found it i had three twitter notifications well hey so i’m gonna go ahead and just keep chopping up this beef you keep hacking away at that okay i got a hack at it now suddenly i feel more confident about it i feel more confident about anything the world seems a little bit lighter there it is that’s good yeah actually this is very fun yeah we just got to do that for about a half hour you’re saying you wanted to work out more right i was thinking jazzercise or something this is jazzercise there’s no outdoors you realize how many rich white ladies in brentwood would pay money to do this while i yell at them four that’s enough did i chop it good you chopped good emily your service here is done i’m gonna finish chopping this then we’re gonna season it up and then we’re gonna hit it in that cast iron give me about another 10 minutes here emily i just got another 10. all right hey so welcome back to mythical shows um put the top on that and then spin her up yeah let’s blend that i’m gonna start forming this into a burger patty yeah is this good oh that’s perfect so we’re only going to use that to season the outside of the burger speaking of burger i’m going to take this and i’m going to fold the burger over you know what maybe it’s going to be easier if i do this and create a wreath around this hamburger kind of mash that on top of that filet mignon that is ridiculously large i think so and now we’re gonna go ahead and pan roast this so we’re gonna do a reverse sear on it which means we’re gonna hit it in the oven for about 45 minutes to 200 degrees and then we’re going to get it in a screaming hot pan with a bunch of garlic and rosemary and buffalo butter to go on here this ain’t kosher bro i’m so damp we’re just going to flop that in there and then what we’re going to do is we’re going to nestle some butter on top of that the butter is going to melt through it so take that butter cut it up and start arranging it around that i’m going to start palm heel striking some garlic it’s probably going to ice wrong am i doing this right you’re doing it perfectly there’s no wrong way to do it so all we’re trying to do is sort of get some of that butter infusing the meat because buffalo tends to be a little bit lean we are using the ribeye but filet mignon in there is also pretty lean so we’re gonna let that butter melt all around that garlic we’re gonna spread some rosemary on it lovely lovely good already all right so this is going in the oven no stopping we got a lot of knives and carnage around here we sure do all right all right emily now i play the waiting game he’s been there for about 45 minutes and my phone go oh oh i know i saw it somewhere around here there it is oh drinking from daddy’s phone [Laughter] emily i have the most important task in all the kitchen for you can you open that bag yeah i can uh i don’t use that yeah use that so we’re gonna make our curly fries right now we use these beautiful fingerling rainbow potatoes right here and we’re totally gonna get a lot of curly fries out of each one and this is the most efficient way oh you got to brace it with your hips oh that’s cute is it working yeah is it peeling it or are we going to eat the peanut skin’s fancy ever go to a fancy restaurant they got the skin on fries so you know it’s fancy so we’re going to grind these and we’re going to get them in these lovely little shoe strings right here do you want to do one i would love to do one all right so you just gotta like kind of insert the potato tip into the hole and then keep cranking okay all right i’m gonna start making some batter cause we’re gonna do a really loose batter because like the fries the jack in the box right they’re so delicious and crispy because they have a very loose heavily seasoned batarangs there is some purple juice yeah it tastes like purple so i’m going to add some of that tim peppercorn that’s that nepalese peppercorn wow smell my fingers it smells like grapefruit it does it’s super super citrusy that’s one of the reasons it’s so prized ah it’s like a cat that ingested something he doesn’t like all right now we’re doing smoked paprika so smell of that oh ooh ah smells like bacon right it smells like a nice wood cabin now i’m adding some of this truffle flour it’ll go nicely with our wood meat smell this a little bit of garlic and then a little bit of salt all right we’re going to make a batter with this jack daniels that we’ve never tasted do you think they’re buying it oh they might they might have about it so we’ve got a red one i should get a yellow one right yeah ah crap what happened son of a biscuit i spilled water everywhere do you want me to pour the water and you stir yeah yeah pour the water i stir give me about uh a one and three quarters tablespoons stop thank you and then pour in uh about a double shot of jack yeah yeah you’ll stand really for there we go that’s good so liquor is actually gonna help this get really crisp i believe we’ll see what happens with this we’re gonna keep cranking out these potatoes these are long i’m gonna start breaking them into individual fries hopefully like that’s a good one when your dad made you ramen did he chop up the noodles or did he let him be long i was you know some parents are there oh yeah sometimes they’re not redlink of all these fun childhood stories and all mine just get cut because they’re sad okay we’re getting there we’re getting there we’re getting there there’s time drops how many more do i need well like 10 times this much my god do you see how big that burger was it’s ostentatiously big i know i’m gonna i’m working on working faster these are some batter and then i’m just gonna take him it’s like a little curly pigtail right and i’m gonna let him go one a two how do you do oh and then just kind of swish it in there and drop see what happens it’s looking pretty good though i think i might wanna fry even hotter because we’re only doing a single fry on these fries because we got that wet batter in there i don’t think these little pink ones are very good for this i think you got to push harder i think here you man the fryer yeah get it grind hard reminds me of summer camp what did you do at summer camp no there we go that’s looking good they’re kind of thick okay is this a good drip it drips yeah that’s perfect toss it in okay see this one’s going this looks almost like a curly fry right it does first of all do you want it it’s too hot you just flick it right out of the fridge it’s not hot a little mine strap it’s not though this is really incredible that batter is so incredibly light and then it’s pretty i think we just salt these right out of the fryer maybe put a little bit of that tim pepper on there oh my god it’s really freaking good though right it’s really good yeah all right i’m gonna keep dropping these we just need about four to five hundred more what for what oh my keys oh oh oh god uh we’re making the jack of box tacos so this is a whole leg of lamb okay i figured we use beef so much in the show we’re already using bison for the burger i feel like we should just use a whole leg of lamb to braise and then chop up in these tacos whatever you say man oh you don’t have any opinions about the lamb i don’t we’re gonna go ahead and take these chile weta i’m making a taco sauce that we’re also gonna use to braise the lamb meat well actually we’re pressure cooking it so can you take the lid off the instapot i watched you do it once where you were like this put the meat in the bucket with the strang on it yeah yeah keep the string out that’s how it stays tight hey look it looks like it’s at coachella yes what do i do now can you go ahead and that’s fine what’d you do when you put it in the blood it’s fine we’re cooking it all okay you’re gonna peel it so that’s fresh turmeric that’s a really fun ingredient to use we’re going to add that to whatever here’s my thinking health gurus right beauty gurus going to the paltry she’s a very fancy lady she steam cleans her holes so she uses fresh turmeric please as uh anti-inflammatory properties so we’re going to put it in our hot sauce oh that’s a good idea all right so we’re going to put a couple cloves of garlic in this too i’m going to go pretty simple in the sausage it’s beautiful chili where and then i’m also going to use speaking of health gurus miracle cleanse concentrate so we’re trying to use this taco sauce as a full all-service cleanse so this is just going to you know everything in everything else like jack in the box already does i’m just gonna pour some of that concentrate in there i’m gonna go ahead and put a little bit of fart salt in here too no just a couple what fart salt this is ninety dollars half the show is jacking up the price tag with useless things we’re not trying to make the best tasting thing we’re trying to make the fanciest thing have you ever seen anything this fancy it’s got a doctor on it you should get your own fart salt welcome mythical fart salt i’m your host fart salt uh so we’re gonna put some part salt in there and then we also got a little bit of this fresh jalapeno powder because nothing i’m not sniffing that nothing goes with farts like jalapenos we’re just gonna add a little bit of spice in there that’s gonna be nice seo it’s cool and green and now just a little bit of this miracle cleanse just for a little bit of acid around it out did you put the turmeric in there what are you doing what’s going on have you this is all you do not do turmeric with a spoon it might not be the mechanism oh my god are you i don’t know give me a blender someone i need to blend this i need this thing to be over stop blending with the stick blender do you want me to do it because it’s not bothering you yeah i do it it’s i’m just burning myself you whittle the weirdest thing we don’t need it anymore we don’t need that anymore i’ve just been doing that for a while it was occupying you i don’t know yeah go faster i know it’s splashing everywhere it’s not a good it’s not the right tool it doesn’t matter it doesn’t pour the whole thing in just laugh it happen i haven’t seen it do you realize what happens when you put things inside the steam has to release okay it’s gonna shoot right in my face i’m gonna vomit well then i’ll do it yeah okay you said it okay you ever used any spot before no i’ve never done anything but we’re trusting me right i pushed something didn’t do anything oh no what do i do i’m pressing the yogurt button uh porridge yeah we’re gonna go ahead and pour this this turmeric made my fingers orange for no we all have problems we all have problems so now we just gotta wait for this to cook and then we’re gonna chop it up and make some tacos is it doing anything yeah wow look at this does it smell it doesn’t doesn’t smell as much like farts anywhere you get a little gaminess in the lamb can you go ahead and cut our little lady out of those wet clothes yes so while you’re doing that i’m going to go ahead and just stand here a little bit i’m going to compose myself things got a little out of hand during the last segment and i apologize to that i lost composure it’s never happened to me before we found josh’s kryptonite it’s that salt an evil doctor who made that salt all right i’m gonna do this thing where i flop it out whoa it looks weird on the other side did i not visually do a good job with plopping it out okay so we got that now we have a little bit of these pan drippings that it’s going to take and kind of like dab on top of there we’re going to take some cheese and we’re going to put it in this tortilla and then grab me a fistful of lamb meat okay so i’m going to try and close this what jack in the box does is they fry their tacos with all the stuff and i think this is enough like i think this is just gonna work oh god oh god oh oh oh oh oh god no and we have to do more things like this away why are you looking at it should i just start stuffing another one for you jesus i think this looks pretty good give me smaller fistful lamb meat we’re gonna try this again we need to again i’m not unhappy is that a good fistful you think it’s a good fistful okay all right this is fine it’s gonna work okay just can’t look at it why can’t look again it’s bad luck okay nothing can go wrong if you close your eyes no i would never close my eyes around you you just lost all the meat no the meat’s still good let me let me have can i try one myself yeah do it do it i’ve proven to be an abject failure at this and other things now emily you have the mantle thank you can you say like a mantra to me while i’m doing this like you’re my sensei don’t die okay please god yeah you got it emily you’re crushing it i am okay you’re gonna grave job just just saying don’t make me lose my concentration what tell me what i need to support you in lamas class we use i could definitely use some more of that phone is it done i can’t drink it when i’m like this i think i did it emily you did it that is at least the best one that we have it’s a little different there’s no room for my perfect choice i’ll hold it with my strong hands so i think we have two perfectly cooked tacos all we have to do is fill this with a little bit of this lovely watercress it’s a watercress very delicate green you can squirt a little bit of that hot sauce in there and then i’m going to get what is this this is waterproof go get some four leaf clovers yeah yeah it’s lucky did you notice how we didn’t die i open up that taco that one yeah yeah okay and then we’re just gonna get a little bit of that beautiful crust what is it just a couple this is the hot sauce we made this earlier is this the fart juice this is fart juice oh and so now we’re gonna close that up and here we have our beautiful fancy jack-in-the-box tacos now all we have to do is i hope no more [Laughter] we’re ready to finish it so all i got to do we got to sear off this burger we’ve cooked it to exactly 120 degrees inside so that fillet in there should be medium rare how are you gonna pick this up hands so i’m just gonna go ahead and put a little bit of duck fat in there you see the pan’s already smoking that’s really lovely it’s going to give this a nice showering and salt emily you seem confused i’m just worried i’m worried too i’m not going to bs you this is not something i normally do so we’re just going to take this and step back on three one two that’s something so now we’re gonna give this a nice showering of salt okay so we have this beautiful pumpernickel bun that we baked yesterday at the grocery store we went there and baked it ourselves so we’re gonna go ahead and put that on there but meanwhile can you make our sriracha aioli with cream for each cafeteria fresh how much of each like both well i thought it was all three all the time do you and the mayo in there sometimes can i do it oh big time all right it’s gonna suck definitely definitely definitely dude so i’m gonna go ahead and i’m gonna flip this burger there we go look at that it’s absolutely gorgeous i’m just gonna mash all of our cheese on there cheese is gonna melt this smells really good though all that duck fat i was so sure you were gonna screw that up nah nothing ever goes wrong here i’m gonna throw all that butter in there i’m gonna take this rosemary and toss that in i’m gonna skate the butter around it with my hands i’m gonna broil this for 30 seconds gonna melt that cheese all right emily count 30 seconds one two three all right burger’s done oh god bob emily pop behind him go behind you behind you okay okay okay oh my god look at that burger what an obscene beast that’s pretty good should i put the hamburger on it now yes there we go you did it we did it thanks no one believed in us uh you did i need to create a false nemesis to feel any sort of accomplishment so now we’re gonna take all these french fries and and and we’re gonna mash them on the burger because that’s what they did here can you like cloth some of that out claw out some of that bread meat while you’re doing that i’m gonna go ahead and dip a couple paint brushes in this duck fat and then get it on our fries sorry it’s bison fat duck fat and a little bit of butter all in that rosemary how’s that fantastic then we need to drizzle some sauce on top emily this is something this feels raw somehow i think fancy and grotesque you’ve seen eyes watched yeah right yeah yeah they kind of go hand in hand sometimes i think definitely the crowning the crowning emily we did it look at this freaking thing it’s unbelievable it’s so thick can you go ahead and take out the original munchie meal we need to see how it compares i think ours might be a little bit bigger it got out of hand at some point i don’t know how it happened but i mean if you look at it it’s like how did how were their tacos bigger that makes sense no that doesn’t whatever the rules of fanciness sometimes are bent so our curly fries we got these beautiful heirloom potatoes on there multi-colored all we got to do left is eat now hamburger mouth in or on around can i make one observation go ahead i like that both of these have butt cuts but this one is jonathan taylor thomas and this one is christian bale from american psycho which one’s better you know emily we gotta eat this yeah whether we want to or not at this point it almost seems like we’ve come so far that i don’t want to eat it but also i really want to see what the inside of this thing looks like i’m just going to cut it right down the butt crack this is right down the jonathan taylor thomas the jason bateman jason jason bateman is it jason bateman wait hold on hold on let’s see what holy crap you see the fillet the fillet is medium rare how are we gonna fit this in our mouths though any way we can it’s the size of a derby hat the french fries have just emulsified into a goo with all the sauce oh my god it smells so amazing we gotta do it should we mash our middles together yeah okay one two three what the hell uh okay ah yeah i just got a bite of steak and just a perfectly cooked steak inside of a hamburger with the blue cheese unbelievable you have a tiny mouth [Laughter] whatever’s happening here it’s really good so maybe the fart salt really loosens up something else take a taco okay no farts in my mouth wait josh how much is all this 419.21 that’s not bad that’s not bad think about it that’s like a whole buffalo in here my god this is unbelievably decadent emily thank you so much for being here with me i’m so glad you had me and you know what trying to cook was fun yeah you sound totally
