Can we make cafeteria food actually taste good? School is in session. You all look absolutely wonderful. And today we are tapping into our middle school identities because we are going to see who can chef up the best version of a cafeteria lunch. But this is not like one of our normal food battles. No, no, no. It is Giving Tuesday and we are partnering with one of my favorite charities. The charity is very close to me, No Kid Hungry. No Kid Hungry does incredible work by making sure kids in need get the nutritious food that they need to grow and thrive. We feel so passionately about it that Josh actually got a lower back tattoo of it. Is it still there? It’s still there. It’s pretty permanent. Yeah, it is. Each team is going to have 30 minutes to make sure that they can make their best version of a school lunch while adhering to all of the food asks from the USDA’s National School Lunches Program. I love the USDA’s National School Lunches Program’s nutritional guidelines. So we’re gonna need fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, and grains. Whoever wins is given $10, 000 to donate to No Kid Hungry. Nice. And, since we couldn’t trust any of our co workers, we got an actual 9 year old to declare the winner. Sick. Imitation 9 year old, just don’t cut it anymore. What do you mean? There’s fake 9 year olds out here. If you, if you, show me that birth certificate, big ol pitcher. Uh, sorry. Big ol pitcher. What I was referencing, there was a pitcher in the Little League World Series that was definitely not 13. I saw, yeah. It was Danny Almonte. Anyways. And if you want to join us in donating to No Kid Hungry, there’s a link in the description. If you donate just $50, that can provide 500 meals to hungry kids. Uh, a little bit can really go a long way here. Alright, enough yapping. Y’all ready to get cooking? Yeah, let’s do it. Let’s do it. Let’s do it. I wore this exact black Nike headband in middle school because I thought it made me look like LeBron James as if the thing separating me from LeBron James was the headband. And I I still think it’s true. Yeah, you guys do have an uncanny resemblance. Could be brothers. What are we making, Nicole? No, how about you tell them what we’re making. I’ll tell you what we’re making. We’re making taco meat right now. We are. Because, like I said earlier, we are adding every single food group into this, and I think the one thing that you should do, especially for kids, is introduce them to vegetables. But, you can do it in a really palatable way, which is what we’re doing. Yeah, so we have some onions and garlic sweating in here, and I’m gonna add a little bit of carrot. to add some nice veg in there. A little hidden veggie, if you will. You gotta trick kids into eating vegetables, and I think that’s perfectly okay. It’s like, um, wrapping a dog’s worm pills in bologna. Yeah! It’s the same thing. You can hide vegetables in stuff like taco meat, and I actually think it makes it taste better. That’s how I hide your worm pills. That’s what all the bologna treats have been at my desk? Yeah. Okay, so you go one, seven, one. Then you go back, front. One, two. You’re bad at this. We’re fighting. We’re gonna make some hedgehog bao buns because V actually knows the judge because it’s her nephew and we found out that hedgehogs are his favorite animal. So hopefully he picks us. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a secret. The first thing we’re gonna do is make a barbecue sauce healthier by, we’re doing like a little hidden veggie situation. So we have some steamed carrots in here and we have some good old Sweet Baby Ray’s, cause barbecue sauce is so healthy. He’s not even gonna know there’s carrots in here. While we’re getting all of our veggies packed into our taco meat, why don’t you tell people the um, the controversy, let’s say, of school districts considering pizza a vegetable. Cause we’re gonna be making taco pizzas. Yes, yes, yes. We grew up in that. So one of the things that I kinda want to change in my life is the school lunch system in general. I grew up on like the reduced fee government school lunch program where we paid like, you know, a fifth of what it would normally cost. Because we were low income, and the food that we got, even though I went to pretty good public schools, it was all just pizza, the vegetables, iceberg lettuce, the fruit was like canned mandarin oranges or something. Sure. And so, you know, I would love to see more fresh fruits and vegetables, and I would love to see schools, frankly, and school districts held accountable for that. Pizza, for us, the lobby wasn’t trying to get it to be called a vegetable, it was trying to get it to be called two vegetables. Not just one, but two? So tomato was considered the vegetable, right? Or was it the vegetable on top? Correct. Tomato was considered the vegetable, but the uh, the lobby argued that tomato paste, since it’s concentrated, has double the nutrients, so it should be considered two servings. of vegetables. Whereas, listen, I love eating pizza as much as the next person. We’re making a pizza here, but we’re adding a lot of actual fresh vegetables, which are just going to make it taste very, very good. I think when you learn to eat vegetables and learn that they don’t taste bad because you make them taste good. Yeah, that’s great. All that’s going in here is like vegetables. We got tomato puree. We got broth. We got bone broth actually for adding protein. That’s great. And we’re using lean ground beef in this. And also this is going to taste like. 85 percent of the way towards Taco Bell, which is 88 percent meat, which is 80, it’s like 82 percent Taco Bell coefficient. Are you in my math class? Because you’re doing pretty bad. I’m so excited for these, Lily. I’m really excited. My big hands and my nice school girl skirt are ready. Yeah, I’m just a little girl and you’re just a little girl too. And we’re friends. No, I don’t know if we would have been friends. Why wouldn’t we be friends? Because you would probably try to beat me up. Okay, maybe that’s true. Sorry, I yelled a little. I was kind of a bully. I actually used to, uh, teach sex ed classes when I was in second grade. I got this book, um, it was called How Was I Born. If you want to put this in here. Yeah, I would love to do that. But it showed real, like, penile. Okay. I’m just saying it’s, but it was like, don’t, How Was I Born, and kids, we had like a couch and I made it like, this weird room like fort thing, Fortnite? and kids would like line up and I would like teach them and read it to them. Oh I’m so concerned about you. We definitely wouldn’t have been friends. Our filling is a barbecue chicken pizza filling nice for our buns. I feel like you’re cool cause you went to private school and had like cool outfits. It was nice not worrying about what I had to wear everyday, like everybody looked the same so nobody got too insecure about their looks. I mean, let me just get my ruler out real quick. What are you talking about? Your skirt is a little bit short there. I don’t know. It’s not going. Three inches. It’s not going. Measure. All right, fine. It was like four inches. Yeah, don’t tell the Dean. So my teacher made me turn my sweater inside out because my cousin got me this sweater from Canada and it said Canadian girls kick ass on it, but she made me turn around so I don’t get in trouble. Yeah, that adds up. It’s a, it’s a really cool sweater, Nicole. Hey, hey, Nicole. Hey, Josh. Is that Annaliese? Oh, I thought it was God. Okay. Knock, knock, knock. Oh, who’s that? Who’s that? Looks like report cards are in. Oh, no. Oh, no. Is mine gonna say talks too much? For each A that you received, you’ll win 100 to donate to No Kid Hungry. Okay, so there’s an A in absence. Does that count? For each A you received in previous food battles, you’ll win $100 to donate to no kid hungry. Oh a million dollars. Wait a minute Hold on, are these, are the A’s my wins and the F’s my losses? Yeah, I only have two wins and like nine losses in here. Uh one, two, I have three A’s. Tell me, how many is that Annaliese? You guys made it $800. Wow! For the kids. For the kids! I have one two, three, four, five, six. Sorry, I don’t know how to count well. One, two, five. Stop distracting me! I have to start from the whole beginning! Seven! Eight! I really can’t count. I have seven A’s. I have two A’s, so I get to donate two hundred dollars. I get to donate seven hundred dollars? But the good news is, is I’m a child and my brain and self esteem are still developing, but now I know what deep shame means, and connecting my entire self worth to a single letter on a piece of paper. That has almost no correlation. to how you will achieve in life, so that’s pretty good. Okay, we’re gonna fill up our dough with some of this delicious chicken filling. Give me some of that filling. I’m getting there! Okay, we’re just gonna bundle up the filling. And we just wanna pinch it in. And this is our little hedgehog body. You know how kids randomly jump? Yeah, kids love jumping. Like, they just, they’re, it’s like, it’s like they tell you something and then they go. Were you the jumping kid? No! Cause I was the kid that just stood there like. My vert, my vert was embarrassing. Like, my toes would barely lift off the floor. And then teachers would go, Josh, you okay? And I’d go, what? Yeah? I’m so sorry. And then I just keep standing there staring creepily. This is our whole wheat dough, again for the health of our children. Of our children. This is for the children. And we’re just gonna wrap it up like this. It’s like a little blankie. Just a little blankie. And you kinda just wanna squeeze its head a little bit. I know you don’t believe in us yet, but it’s gonna start looking like a hedgehog. Okay. Now here, let me just shape him a little bit. And then we’re gonna give it its little What are these called? Spikes. Little spikes. It’s like we’re making little Pokemon. Yeah! That’s all it is. Is Pokemon a hedgehog? Excuse me? Did you trade Pokemon cards when you were little? I used to collect them with my older brother. We had, um, like a whole book of them. And he had all the really cool, like, holographic ones. Loser! Sorry, that was my bully coming out. So we’re gonna build these pizzas. So we actually have some mini whole wheat pizza crusts. that we made. It’s kind of emblematic of like a Lunchables and we grew up eating them little cardboard things covered in a sugary sauce. This is sort of an homage to that because this is something that’s going to like, keep. It’s going to hold up it’s made with whole grains which again you pile all of the stuff on top of it it’s going to taste just as good, if not even a little bit better I think whole grain stuff actually tastes really really good a lot of the times. Agreed, agreed and I love any chance where I can use my squiggle knife, if you know, you know, this is the epitome of joy, happiness, and extra effort. So anytime I can use my swivel knife, I’m a happy camper. But I’m going to be making a little bowl of frutas. You know, we live in Los Angeles and one of the best things about LA is the access to fresh fruits and vegetables from our local fruit guys. So I think at, so I think having, having that in a school lunch is pretty damn awesome because we both grew up in SoCal, right? So I mean, it makes total sense to me. It goes, it goes with the theme. It goes with the theme. If you got fruit or a sandwich or vegetables that were cut with a squiggle congrats someone loved you. I’m gonna start building these pieces, a little bit of beans beans are probably the healthiest food in the entire world, right? Yeah, they’re also magical. Well, but Nicole what happens when you eat them? I’d say what happens the more you eat them. In fact, the more you eat Don’t get don’t well, don’t say it.

My mom says I can’t say toot because it implies like body things and those are bad to talk about. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Can I say it? The more you toot! Your mom said that body things are bad to talk about? While you guys are poking, it’s time for a pop quiz. Oh. Pop quiz. Are you smarter than a middle schooler? Hell yeah!

I as a child was very excited about olives because You had a lot of them in your house? No, we didn’t, have no food in the house. Um, but we had Taco Bell that was like for only a dollar You can get a Mexican pizza. This is a Mexican pizza. That’s what I’m saying, we are literally making a Mexican pizza and they used to put olives in the Mexican pizza because we used to be a country a proper country. Jeff Daniels, newsroom. Google it. So we’re gonna throw these in the oven, they’re gonna get nice and melty and crispy, and then we’re gonna assemble our fabulous lunch plate! I’m super excited! Hi. Hi. Hi. Why are you looking at me like that? I thought you were new to the playground. Oh. Do you wanna be friends now? Yeah, we can. You have a cool backpack. I like your clips. Thanks. Okay. We’re friends now. Best friends. That’s how kids become friends on the playground. Alright, so, um, Josh is pulling out our pizzas, and I’m gonna start making some horchata. Now the horchata that we’re making, we’re gonna use a little bit of coconut sugar. Those look so adorable. I wanna eat this so bad. Those are adorable. I wanna eat this so bad. I love it, I love it. I’m making strawberry milk. Lily is making chocolate pudding. Chocolate pudding. And I’m putting vegetables in the chocolate pudding, and it’s a secret. Um, I’m adding strawberries to my pot. And I’m gonna cook them down a little bit with some yummy date syrup. Yum. Yeah, I have some avocados in here. It is going to be the texture of pudding and it’s gonna be nice and chocolatey. I have some coconut milk and it has some milk chocolate chips in here. And, I’m basically just gonna, it was microwaving, so it’s warm in here. Oh, let oh, wait, wait, let me I used to have fun stuff in my backpack. Oh! Let me show What do you have in your backpack? I think I just broke it. Oh! It, it was cutting off my arm circulation? Yeah, it’s built for kids, not adults. Okay, wait, no! Yeah, something happened. Anyway, okay, look, I have a basketball. Nice. Catch, Josh. Good catch. Nice. Okay, I used to hide Slim Jims for class. All right, I like those. Fun. Nice. I got glasses in here. Ooh. Cuz I have four eyes. You want to trade? I have pink ones. Now it looks like we’re dressing for prep week. Hey, hey, no bouncing in class! We have a corn salad right here. So this is like mimicking elotes or esquites, as it’s generally called when it’s off the cob. Except we actually made it with a little bit of Greek yogurt, which gets a lot more protein. Right. One of the, I think, failures of the school lunch system is, you should treat it as an opportunity to educate kids, right? Like, everything else in school is educational in some way, and then you go to lunch and it’s just like, well, here’s Takis, and here’s soda, and here’s whatever. It’s like, serve foods that you can actually teach kids about. I mean, we were raised in SoCal again, and a lot of the snacks we had were Hot Cheetos and Takis, which is why I thought it’d be cute for us to add a little Tajin bottle, because I used to love, this is so silly, I used to love when they would collaborate with, like, Hot Cheetos and stuff because I’m like, oh we’re humans and we get to experience these things too in school. Very silly, very capitalist of me, but it is true I did think it was cool I was like, oh I’m a little adult like I’m trying all these cool things that I can find at the grocery store. Imagine if your school was sponsored by Tajin. That’d be so sick, dude. You just have it on the basketball jerseys instead of saying whatever Rhett’s high school was. Hard, Harnett, cen, uh, I can’t read right now. It was just like Tajin Panthers. Yeah, that would be so cool. Or like Tajin Panteras, you know? That’d be so cool, that’d be so cool. Kind of like the, oh my god. Maybe capitalism will solve this. We just need, uh, a company. We just need to do the capitalism the right way. If there is such a thing. In the right direction. So what’s that? This is a detention slip. This is something I very much had often in my backpack. Okay, things I’m most likely to get detention for. Untucked shirt. Um, okay. Okay. It is untucked. Punching a fourth grader. Who wrote that? Talking back. Maybe. Cheetos during class. Hot Cheetos specifically in the back in art class. Yes. Running your mouth. Yep, that’s true. Not minding your business. Wow, that is all a part of the rest of the things. It’s funny cause like, coworkers actually wrote those, so it’s like how they really feel. Oh my god! That corn salad, look at that, that’s adorable. Nicole, what do you say to the critics who say that, Hey, schools can never serve lunches like this because they’re, uh, um, chronically underfunded? It is true. It is real. That is not a lie. And I think it’s our job as, um, people that hopefully want to have kids one day. Yeah. Maybe, you know, whenever we’re rich and famous and have tons of money, maybe we put it into our school systems. I mean, honestly. Right? Isn’t that where we should put our money? I agree entirely, Nicole. Instead of like, oh, I don’t know, a nice tie or a Lamborghini or whatever it is. Are you implying that we as individuals, instead of buying a nice tie, we simply give, what do they cost, 80 bucks, like, to a school? And that will solve the systemic underfunding of it. Well, do you like a lot of ties? Oh, lobby your politicians to fund the education system, it’s a non partisan issue. My favorite school lunch, because you asked, is actually one of the breakfasts. And it was like a corn dog, but it was sausage and, um, pancake batter on the outside. Did anyone else have that? Are we talking about lunches now? Leave a comment below. Um, I used to go to school early before practice and get chorizo and egg burritos when I was in high school and me and the lunch lady became best friends after that. They didn’t have that in Maine. Hey, can I just say, you guys are slaying so hard it’s giving main character vibes for real for real. Oh, I believe they are talking like a youth. What is a youth? Your vibe is so on fleek, it’s serving big W energy no cap. Ayyy, I understood all of that. I have no idea what you said. Which leads me to our next challenge. How well do you know Gen Alpha slang? Don’t do this to us. For every term you can use correctly in a sentence, you’ll win $200 to donate to No Kid Hungry. Oh, bring it on. I’m on Twitter. Or X. Okay, we got this.

It’s actually pronounced Shkibbity. Correct. It could be good or bad or cool, so good job, Nicole. What do you mean it could be good or bad? What does it mean then? Mewing. Um, and when a cow goes mew, mew, mew. I was gonna say when the stars go mew. Like a shooting star? Oh yeah, yeah. The one that hit the ground. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or a fish that just came out the water. Is that close? We were looking for something along the lines of strengthening your jawline or looking good. Oh, what? What is wrong with this generation? Rizzler. Oh, I know, I know this one. So, the Rizzler is a person that has Riz, which means charisma. So, like, if I use it in a sentence, like, I would consider Bobby to be the Rizzler. He really knows how to make me smile. But of course, the Rizzler is also a person who often collaborates with A. J. Bufuma in Big Justice, more commonly known as the Costco guys. We bring the boom. We bring the boom to you. Double Chunk Chocolate Cookie. That’s right. Ohio. Ohio. Ohio. Oh, I know, I know, I know. I gotta think. It’s like when you walk in the door and you’re like, Ohio.

Sticking out your gya for the Rizzler? It’s pronounced gya? Um, correct. Aura, or negative aura. Can you use it in a sentence? No, no, no, I got this, I got this, I got this. Aura has to do with your vibes, and like, the, the feeling you have when you first come in the room, like dang girl, you got a good aura, it looks real pink today. We’re, we’re gonna give you the points. Yay! Phantom Tax. Oh. What?

What, can you spell Phantom, Phantom Tax? I know what I’m talking about! I have a nephew! It’s one, I’m sorry, one word or two? Two. May I get the country of origin? Roblox. Uh, a phantom tax is a sort of hidden tariff where bulk wholesale goods are imported through a port authority to then be broken down into smaller retail chain suppliers. I just know it from Roblox. Phantom Tax. It’s how Ikea gets around a lot of tariffs, because they don’t build it there. What I have here is it means stealing food from a friend, so we’re giving you half! We’re getting half points! Half points! Half points! Glaze or glazing? It’s like glazing. Um it’s inappropriate. Is it? Is it? It’s dirty. It’s not. It’s not dirty. Okay. It’s when you’re like a toaster strudel and then you put, I’m not going there. Does, does glazing have to do with like your makeup being on point? Like your face is glazing, like it’s moist, or it’s like I’m gonna glaze on you. No, love these, but incorrect glaze is when you praise someone too much to the point of it being annoying or cringe. I’m trippin, I heard this from a high schooler recently. Was it Damien? I had no idea. It was, it was, yeah, no, Damien’s in first grade. Okay, last one. Brain rot.

V, I need you to promise me that even if you lose, you’re not gonna stop buying him Christmas presents. Who are you? Uh, Drew, how are you feeling today? You hungry? Yeah, I am very hungry. Alright. You heard us answer a lot about Gen Alpha slang words. How do you think we did overall? Good. Yeah? Yeah. Okay, okay. We’ll take it. You say we did Sigma. Yeah. All right, Drew, you ready to eat? Yeah. Which one do you want to eat first? We’ll let you choose. I’m gonna try this one first. Okay. For you, we made a hedgehog bow bow bow bow bao bun. Nice. Stuffed with a barbecue chicken pizza filling. You have a organic homemade strawberry milk. You have apple slices because apple is great. You have stir fried broccoli, and then you have a chocolate pudding with sprinkles. Okay. Enjoy. You can, you can pick it up. You can pick it up. I recommend biting into the head. Nice. Goodbye. I like it. It tastes good. Is it weird for you that you’re eating the face off of your favorite animal? I was just about to ask that. Okay. Sort of. Okay, it’s legal here. Does it taste like apple? Yeah. Oh, you like the apple? We can tell that’s your favorite. Now we’ve ruined ourselves. Good bites. I like that. Yeah, I like it. Drew, have you ever had guacamole before? No. No? Alright. Stop goading. He knows what he’s doing. You wanna taste this too? Yeah, I’m gonna try. Mm, it’s, it’s okay. Yeah, I know. Dogged. I’m gonna try this now. Okay. Hey, Drew. How you doing? Good. Great. So what we have for you today is some mini taco pizzas with some ground beef and refried beans. And then we have an elote salad with Greek yogurt, some frutas with a little bit of key lime and you can add some Tajin on it if you want. And then some horchata. Enjoy. Have you ever tried that before? No. You should open it and put a little bit on your hand and try it. Go for it. Did you make it? No, it’s sponsored. The idea is that we have a Tajin sponsorship. Um, it’s, it’s kinda spicy and then not really. Yes. Very astute. It’s okay. Okay. Yeah, we didn’t make it. First, I’m gonna eat, yeah, I like. Cucumber. We put a little bit of lime on the fruit. Okay. I like cucumber and then I like watermelon. Okay, I’m gonna try that now. Go for it. I’m gonna try this. I’ve seen something close to this and I like it. Mmm. I like it. It’s good. Ayyyy. Hehehe. I don’t really like guacamole, but Drew, do you know what’s in that pudding? Hey man, mind your business! It needs to be fair and impartial. I heard that your second favorite animal is a turtle. That’s why we made this shaped like a turtle shell. Um Um, I want more pudding. Yes! Pick up! Um, one thing I don’t really like ochata. What if I told you it was made with a secret ingredient called love? Does that change your opinion? Oh, Drew, do you feel like you can make a decision based off of what you’ve eaten today? Yeah. Before we find out our winner, the test results are in. Nicole and Josh earned a total of $3, 200 to donate to No Kid Hungry. And V and Lily earned $1,800 for a total of $5, 000. Wow, that’s amazing.

Drew, I want you to go ahead and put your hand over the winning dish in 3, 2, 1! Ugh, I like this. No! I died. How’d you psych us out like that? No Christmas presents until you’re like 18 years old from V here. How dare you. No more chocolate pudding. I got y’all. No. He only liked the chocolate pudding. No, I was like this and this. I don’t, I didn’t. You just like the shape of it. Okay, you can be honest, it’s cool. Drew, you are the absolute man. Not only that, you are a man of excellent taste. Also, he immediately knew how many bones were in the human body, and I’m so impressed with that. I don’t know, I’m really good at Jeopardy. Uh, Drew, you’re awesome, and y’all are so awesome.
