We all got to eat and we all got to save
money. We all know it. You know it. I
know it. You know it. There's the single
shelf. It's dimly lit. It's in the back
of the store. It might even be next to
the bathroom. You might need a key
that's attached [music] to a strange
large novelty item to get into that
bathroom. But we're not focused on the
bathroom today. We're focused on the
shelf because that is the discount
shelf. That is where slightly expired or
slightly stale or slightly out of season
items go to die. But in the mythical
kitchen, we believe every food has a
story worth telling and no food deserves
to die. So, we grabbed three items each,
but then we realized that's not where
the discounts stop at a grocery store,
cuz you can hunt all around the store
and find that little manager special on
things that are perfectly good to eat,
but might be somewhere near their
expiration date. So, we chose one
manager special, heavily discounted
produce item, and then one wildcard
heavily discounted manager special item.
Pitch Perfect Anna Kendrick Cup song.
So, now we're going to make one dish
each using our selections to see who's
his best and ultimately try and see if
you guys can get some inspiration on how
to save some money at the grocery store
cuz we all know that Laboo collection is
totally going to appreciate in value.
It's just like Beanie Baby's Pokemon
cards. That's skyrocketing for the Gold
Skater. Tony, how many how many do you
have?
>> Five.
Let's get cooking. Okay, so I'm in the
parking lot of my local Ralphs. This is
the store that I go to four times a
week, which means [music] I know this
store inside and out. Even though I'm
probably only in the same four aisles
every time, which [music] is the meat
aisle, the yogurt aisle, and the produce
aisle, and then the hot sauce aisle, I
think they're going to have some really
good like manager specials. And I think
the discount shelf is pretty well
stocked. We're going to find out.
>> Happy Hanukkah. We got some kala.
Oh, it's literally my least favorite
food.
[music and singing]
>> Josh, I'm ready to match your energy
today.
>> Let's do it. It's great cuz it falls in
the food all the time and no one can
hear what you're saying. This is what I
got from the grocery shelf, right? So,
I'll tell you about the breads here cuz
I initially went first day of Hanukkah,
2 days after that, boom, reduced kala
price. But I think I think what I want
to do is make a hamburger. But then I
found the Kaiser rolls. But then what
happened is I put the Kaiser rolls in my
backpack to bring him to work today. And
then um I found that my cat had uh
opened the zipper in my backpack and
that he bored into there and and he ate
some of the Kaiser roll
>> and so uh yeah, he tore his open. This
is pants of lime not piv. Is this a bite
that from the cat?
>> Not a single bite. I hope I hope that
was him nibbling. But yeah, he ate a lot
of Kaiser roll. But anyways, I think I'm
going to use a Kaiser roll. I think I'm
going to stew this kala out of the way
cuz I want to make a uh double sweet
potato lotka chili cheeseburger.
>> Wa.
>> That's what we're doing today.
>> Your cat also ate my fla that I gave
you.
>> Yep. [music] My cat loves eating things
out of my backpack. Why did I have a
sack of fla in my backpack? Cuz V made
it. All right, V. Can you go [laughter]
Can you go ahead and uh grate up that
grade up that sweet potato? Peel it
first.
>> Okay.
>> This is a great excuse. This is 50% off.
And I never would have bought Urban
Accents by Stonewall Kitchen. Ancho
chili pork burger smoky sweet chili mix
gluten-free small batch. I never would
have bought this had it not been on the
discount shelf. And now I'm pretty
excited to see what the hell this is all
about.
>> I went to the discount shelf. You went
to the discount shelf. V went to the
discount shelf. We all went
>> I don't I'm not familiar with the source
material.
>> Chicken wings. Oo, cream of chicken.
Didn't know there was like a whole
discount produce shelf, too.
I'm grabbing these potatoes. I want the
green beans. Oh, nice. Good find. This
is just for the car. Oh, yummy. This
looks so good.
Just reduce this. It'd be a nice glaze.
Okay, I got my groceries.
So, I went to the discount shelf
>> at Ralph's and I actually found that I
got everything I needed. They have a
pretty large selection. Part of mine
produce is um rusted potatoes. So, I
mean they it does look a little
shrively, but these are perfectly good
potatoes.
>> This is perfectly good. And actually,
yeah, Ralph's this one ain't ad this
ain't. No, this is just where we shot.
But no, they do a really cool program
where it's almost like a grocery rescue
where they take like misshapen or kind
of old birds that's perfectly good and
they put it in a special bin and they
cost a buck 25.
>> Yeah,
>> you got like three pounds of potatoes
for a dollar.
>> And then I went for my protein. There
were actually a lot of proteins between
fish, chicken, steak. Um but I ended up
getting chicken wings because it was
only $4.75. These are already marinated.
This one is buffalo, but they had Malibu
flavor, which I don't know what that
means, so I didn't get it. You saw
something called Malibu flavored chicken
wings and you didn't get it?
>> I I don't know. I was skeptical.
>> I'm so mad at you. What was on it? Like
green juice?
>> No, it was kind of brownish.
>> Jay Leno's car exhaust.
>> Bruh. Bruh. Bruh. Is this a tomahawk for
25?
>> All right, guys. [music] I think I just
found my favorite thing.
Hawaiian rolls. Ooh,
yummy. Just kidding. with that.
[music]
>> I see you hiding back there. It's
>> Guys, it's go time. So, you might be
surprised that I found a tomahawk steak.
Yes, this is true. I actually did. And
we found it for $25.
Worth 45, probably 200 at the local
steakhouse. So, I'm going to do a very,
very simple dinner. [laughter] Not as
complicated as what Josh was making
earlier. I'm just going to make a nice
steak plate. It might look like a cowboy
meal later, but just just trust me on
this. Just trust me on this. Okay, let's
see what else I found. I found some
Korean inspired sweet and tangy
barbecue. Um, I'm going to add these to
my beans. Can I try it? Yeah. Yeah, you
can cuz you're put on my elbow. Cuz you
love barbecue sauce, not cuz you're
Korean. Wait,
>> can you not reach your elbow?
>> I [laughter] don't think I can. I didn't
think about it.
>> It hurt. [laughter]
>> I didn't think about
>> I felt your arm shaking. Now you have
stuff on your teeth.
>> Dude, I'm learning so much about you
every day.
>> This is disturbing now. Okay, back to
what I was doing.
>> Yeah.
Oh, this is a sight to
>> V. I kind of want your take on this. So,
I was going to just like cook a normal
burger patty. This was $6. Already
pretty cheap. Reduce down to 236.
>> 236 [music] for 1.2 lb. That's literally
like $2 a pound for 7030 ground beef.
>> That's being pretty rad. Um,
>> should I mix the ground beef with raw
grated sweet potato and make it like a
ground beef lot?
>> No.
>> Are you sure?
>> Well, the fact that you don't want me to
do it makes me want to do it.
>> No. No. I see. Originally, I thought you
were going to use this as the bun.
>> I could do that, but I got these Kaiser
rolls.
>> No, I know. And you went through the
whole cat thing.
>> The cat My cat ate the Kaiser roll.
>> I know. Okay. I think you should
separate them because I would want
something crunchy in my sandwich besides
a fair point. And I think this should be
it something.
>> Okay. Okay. So, I'm just season it up
with it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tell us.
>> I heard you talk about it. What was in
it?
>> I have no idea. Look at the ingredients.
>> Salt, brown sugar, garlic, onion,
paprika, thyme, coriander, ancho chili,
chipotle chili, parsley, clove. This
sounds great.
>> Oh, it sounds sexy.
>> Wait, wait. Hear me out. What if I make
like a chili with the burgers in this
and some of the nacho cheese? Whatever
you do, I'm going to support you like
you're my child. [laughter]
>> Okay.
>> As long as you're great. If you want to
be a pianist, then do it.
>> Want to be a penis?
>> Yeah.
>> I'd be That'd be a great penis.
>> You said he'd be a penis.
>> I said a penis. I'd be a really good
world champion penis.
>> Sure.
>> You seen the movie Adrien Brody the
penis?
>> Yeah. I've seen so many pianists.
>> Yeah. Penis.
>> What are you guys talking about?
>> So, this is cream of chicken soup. I
feel like this is just like packed with
like MSG [music] flavor bomb, green
beans cuz health. And I'm going to go
for like a green bean casserole vibe,
but it's not going to be that at all.
And then I have um French's fried onions
cuz the thing I said about the green
bean casserole thing.
>> Yeah. So them is all Thanksgiving
groceries that they were trying to throw
away cuz right now I was mad that my
store didn't have no cranberries on the
clearance yet. They're just sitting
there selling cranberries. We're
shooting this in in the middle of
December. They're shooting cranberry.
They're making cranberries the same
price in the middle of December as they
are in November. That's BS.
>> I'm going to put these wings in the oven
because I feel like the best way to make
them is cooking them to its internal
temperature of Well, Josh says one like
20.
>> No, no, that's not what I say. She's
misrepresenting what I say that and
that's only for white meat.
>> This is such a cool find. Actually, I
know you found potatoes. I also found
potatoes.
>> Josh found potatoes, too. Josh also
found potatoes. [laughter]
It was just a array of potatoes down
there.
>> Yeah, this is like a little bit brown.
It's oxidized, which is probably why
they [music] put it on the discount
shelf cuz it was coming to its
expiration date, but it's still
perfectly good steak. Like, don't be
scared of a little oxidization. You know
what I mean? Don't be scared of brown.
>> Yeah,
>> it's the best in town.
>> Oh, every commercial. Um, I'm going to
rinse and wash these potatoes.
A lot of people don't wash their
potatoes. I like to do it. Do you do it?
>> No, I've never washed my potatoes,
>> dude. They've been in the ground. Yeah,
that's like the cleanest place.
Like it's in like a farm. Uh Flemings. I
don't know if anyone has Flemings
around. It's pretty like overpriced in
my opinion, but they do a tomahawk
Tuesday which is pretty sick. And like
the tomahawks are like half off. And I
think you even get like an appetizer.
>> Yes. Josh,
>> what am I supposed to be doing? And why
is there parchment paper here?
>> Oh, what? Where' the bowl come from?
>> I grabbed it.
>> Oh, [laughter]
this is So your peelings would go on
here. And then all you had to do was
just like get rid of the parchment.
[laughter]
>> But now there's a dirty bowl and a
parchment.
>> I should have asked questions
beforehand.
>> That's like just a little trick, you
know?
>> But then you're sort of wasting
parchment every time cuz now I can use
this for my drawings. Okay, we're going
to do like a little palms puree
situation.
>> Some would say that is intimidating.
>> Puree.
>> Five. 10.
>> She's getting there. Look. What are
these called?
>> Hands clap.
>> No, no, no, no. One word
>> rhymes rhymes with a book in the Bible.
>> Um, Book of Mormon.
>> No, no, no. Rhymes. One, that's not in
the Bible. Two, that's a whole step.
That's like a fanfiction of the Bible.
The these things rhyme with a book in
the Bible. hand. Man,
>> this they're spelled almost the same.
There's a book in the Bible called
>> Psalms. These are
>> hands. [laughter]
I really
>> I think we can just run this. Oh, I'm
feeling potatoes.
>> Hands.
>> You said palms puree. And I went like
this.
>> Oh, hands puree. [laughter]
So, what I'm going to do, I'm going to
make a little sloppy chili cheese sauce
cuz I want to kind of transform this
nacho cheese dip a little bit.
I'm going to go ahead and take uh my
this pork chili seasoning in here.
Here's the thing. Pork seasoning.
>> How much?
>> Let's say you can't add it to beef.
>> I can get as buff as you doing this.
>> I think you could. Wait, is there salt
in that?
>> I don't think I've ever had a sweet
potato laca before. So, so this is an
interesting product because it's not
their chile conc is known for. It's just
their nacho cheese.
>> Is that good?
>> Now, this is interesting. It's not quite
[laughter]
emulsifying
as I want it to,
>> coach. Is that good?
>> Yeah, it's great. You did great.
>> Okay,
>> that should be good. You want to form it
and put it?
>> Yeah. What do I do? Tell me what to do.
Do I juice?
>> So, typically typically you might juice
it. Here, I'm going to add a little bit
of flour to
>> I feel like I've seen you do this a h
100 times and I still don't remember. I
know, but typically I'd add egg and
onion, but we ain't got none of that.
Toss that in and the and like a little
bit of flour.
>> Salt.
>> Uh, yeah, salt a little bit. See if
that'll release the moisture because we
need something that's gonna like hold it
together.
>> Okay,
>> now I got my burger sauce going here.
And I'm going to see if I can run it
under the sink and see what happens.
>> Why you run under the sink?
>> Cuz right now, I don't think there's
enough liquid to be able to emulsify
anything cuz I think all the guar gum
and the cheese is kind of uh making it
>> That looks kind of good.
>> Separate from the fat. And I'm hoping
some boiling water and agitation will
kind of get it there. So this is the
effectively a meat and cheesebased
condiment.
>> It looks like hamburger helper
>> for our burger. Yeah, that's interesting
though.
>> Okay, this is getting nice. I think
you're going to win. Is there a winner?
I think you're going to win if there's a
winner.
>> Should get like um $5. Like Josh I think
Josh owes me like $30.
>> I think Josh owes like everyone in this
office. He did send me money on Junth.
So maybe that was like that was it. That
was a payback heel. Um, okay. I'm going
to pop these in the oven. This is at 375
400 probably.
It's at 400. This is looking good. And
just let those go. I'm going to put this
in the oven and let this go. And I'm
going to move on to beans. My favorite
cuz they're from the north. You know who
else is from the north? Uh,
[laughter]
>> I am. I am Northern Vietnamese. Oh, I
thought you were going to say Maine. Oh,
I guess I am just north all over. So, I
actually do go to the discount shelf.
Maybe this is unrelatable, but
[laughter]
when I go to Whole Foods, the tin fish
is always like so expensive. You know
what I mean? [laughter]
>> Go on.
>> And I don't I don't buy it for full
price.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> But often they have sales.
>> Yes.
>> So, I get it when it's on sale.
>> My dad was growing up See, this really
>> going to be a sad story.
>> No, it's not. It's very happy. My dad
growing up was dating a woman named DJ.
She worked at the bar that he he was a
bar back at. But then her son lived with
us. His name was Josh. He had a lot of
he was an entrepreneur. He had a lot of
people come over and he sold them little
baggies and stuff and sometimes they'd
hang out and play video games. But
anyways, DJ once said she brought us a
present and it was um three familysized
cans of Chef Pori ravioli and they all
had dents in them and we said, "Oh, did
you get these? Did you This This is
happy. She got us gifts." And then uh
she we said we said, "Oh, did you get
those from the discount shelf in the
back?" And she goes, "No." And we said,
"Oh, where did they where did they come
from?" And she goes, "Well, you take the
can, you throw it on the ground, and
then they give you half price for it
when you complain to the register."
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah.
>> I've seen that in like movies and stuff.
>> It's a happy It's a happy story.
>> Um, I put my cream of chicken in here. I
am saving some because I didn't explain
this, but we're only allowed to use our
five ingredients, [music] plus sugar,
flour, vinegar, salt, pepper, and oil.
um and garlic powder. So, I can't have
butter or milk in my Palms puree. So,
I'm going to use this to flavor the
Palms Puree. And I feel like that's a
pretty cool trick. What are you drawing?
Is that us? Is that DJ? It's DJ. I don't
even know who DJ is, but it [music]
looks like DJ.
The [laughter]
>> I don't know what the dude drawer is.
>> Jesse, you don't seem happy in that. I
feel like that's
>> Oh, no. This is And then there's a sun
in the corner. This is the corner.
>> Oh, not like a son. Like you're the sun.
>> And this is um this is me. I'm sad and I
feel very small. And then that's
actually that's you.
>> Oh, wait. Why am I in it?
>> Nice. I think that's good. We got two
kind of different sides. You're going to
want to let that like really cook
together and steam together.
>> Okay.
>> Um and now we got to You want to tell us
to have a bun?
>> Sure. Let me go wash my hands cuz I
don't do what you do.
>> We should take a We should take a hand
washing break.
>> Oh my god, my pants are falling. Hold
on.
>> Look away. Look away. Don't look at
Don't LOOK AT THESE PANTS. STOP THAT.
HEY, YOU.
>> HEY. NO. GET OUT of here.
>> Fell out.
>> I haven't used these yet, but I'm going
to have Josh put them on a pan. [music]
>> Okay. He's doing something.
>> I'm fiddling.
>> They're just
>> I don't know. It hurts.
>> Put some on here and then pop it in the
oven there. It's at 500. I just want to
get some of that like shelf off of it,
you know?
>> You say get some of the shelf off.
>> Yeah.
>> That's such a good term.
>> Yeah, I know. cuz it's like the whole
episode. Um, these have been mashed like
so. And I'm just going to bare hand it.
It is a little bit hot, but
>> French red onions in the oven. Chef,
>> thank you. Um, this is called a Tammy. I
didn't want to just do mashed potatoes.
I wanted them nice and fine. We're going
to get those nice and crispy. Um, and
then this is a pastry card. And we're
just going like this, like this type of
motion. Now, Lily, is this what three
Michelin star chef Joel Robon Yes.
>> does to his la potatoes or his pump?
>> He's dead, right?
>> He's dead. Yeah.
>> I bet he used to use a Tammy.
>> When he was not dead.
>> When he was not dead. When he was alive.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Cuz I don't know if you can do it when
you're dead.
>> This looking good on the color.
>> Yeah, it looks great. Okay. This is nice
and tamied. You get a nice arm workout.
Scoop this off. I'm going to add this
back. Did you
>> I met one of Saltbay's waiters who said
no check this is actually a herring
[laughter]
>> It just fell in the grease. That was
good. I met one of Salt Bay's waiters
who said that he sliced his hand so
badly that he got nerve damage doing the
little show. And this is he said this is
conjecture allegedly. And then allegedly
he got fired because of the nerve
damage. He could no longer do the steak
slicing show.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> Yeah, that was really sad, man. Wait,
look at this magic that's about to
happen.
That's so cool. V, but try to cut me on
it. No. No. Yes. You can get um What's
that disease? Diabetes.
>> Yes, exactly.
>> Look. No,
>> it's it's like
>> I don't like that.
>> It's No, it's meant to be like child
pro. I don't feel like childpan
juice.
>> Put it down.
>> Lily, you're going to Oh, I'm just
kidding.
All right. So, you're like, "V, what are
we going to do with those beans?" Well,
let me tell you. You know that Korean
tangy sauce I put on Lily's elbow? She
couldn't reach. We're just going to do
one of these.
Your texture if you want it. Oh, I had
some, but
>> Okay, never mind.
>> Okay, nice.
>> Just going to add a little bit of sugar.
This smells really strong. This might be
nasty.
>> No, the the Korean sauce. Did you try
it?
>> No, I didn't. But we'll see what
happens.
>> Okay, fine. I just want to see if you
can do it.
>> Yeah. But see, it's hard. Yeah. Oh, wo.
That was really
>> sexy.
>> Yeah, you [laughter] should. Should I do
it again?
>> You should make people pay, though.
Like, this isn't free content.
>> Nice heaping [music] spoonful of the
hamburger helper sauce.
>> Don't die. It's diffusing.
>> Ow, it's burning my neck.
>> You Okay.
>> Okay. Got that going down. Take our LKA.
Boom. [music] Sweet potato. made a
thinner patty directly on top of the
locka. The lockka is what's called a
moist maker.
>> More like a moist holder.
>> Now, that's going to catch a [music] lot
of those drippings from the burger.
>> There you go with your wet sandwich.
>> Chili nacho cheese sauce. It's a wet
sandwich, but the sweet potato locka
should catch [music] a lot of that wet.
>> And there we have it. Sweet potato locka
double chili cheese nacho burger.
>> Our steak's done. Wow. That's a
tomahawk. That's the kind of brown you
want. Our
[laughter]
potatoes are done. They're nice and
roasted.
>> I'm going to go like at an angle like
that
>> and leave all that negative space. Of
course, cuz that's what the fancy
steakhouse do. Okay. Don't forget the
bread. You got to open that one. Okay.
You showed me some weird thing earlier
to open things. Are you going to use it?
>> Oh, yeah. I have this new tool now. I
don't know if it applies to right now.
What is that? Is that a hand? It So,
it's like an allpurpose tool and I guess
I'll just use it
to to pull I'm scared of you. I just
Hey, see. [music] And then you don't
know how to use things sometimes. It's
okay. Are these sub What are these?
>> They're sandwiches.
>> Oh my goodness.
>> But we're I'm serving one whole one cuz
that's the amount of bread you're going
to eat anyway if it was just like the
small versions. Okay. So, you just
>> And you can make your own sandwich.
Also, our beans are done. I had to add a
little bit more water cuz it was a
little too tangy, but we're just going
to serve it like this. It's all about
balance. That's my plate. This is our
dinner. It looks like a cowboy meal in
the Wild Wild West, but guess what?
Protein, carbs.
>> I'm excited for my plating. I feel like
that's what I have going for me. I'm
gonna do Have you seen like the hummus
the hummus dips where they're like
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> So that's that.
>> You got to rotate the potatoes around.
>> Yeah. Like this. [music] You really have
to
>> What I like about it. Can I tell you
what I like about this stuff?
>> What?
>> It really knows how to dance. Um No.
What I like is that you've effectively
taken
Thanksgiving, right? This is
Thanksgiving. Mashed potatoes, a soupy
green bean casserole that acts as a
sauce, the crunchy onions, but you've
replaced a bland turkey with a delicious
deep fried buffalo chicken wing. And I
always say just cook chicken.
>> Just cook chicken. [laughter]
>> Thank you.
So, I'm just going to put that in the
center here. I'm just going to bare
hand. Yeah, they're pretty hot. You want
to top me off with some wings?
>> I got you. They're a little hot.
>> Like, get some get some height, please.
>> Some height. Yeah. Yeah. Um, River Cafe
in New York is actually the one who
started that trend of [music] stacking
food vertically.
>> What? I feel like it's existed. This
looks like
a good plate [laughter] of food. And
then you can dip the wing into the
potato. That's the idea. It's for like a
party. Yeah, that's it. Thanks for your
help.
>> No problem. Well, you two both took
things off the discount shelf and made
beautiful looking meals.
>> Yeah. What's that? The tin foil.
[laughter]
>> Yeah.
>> Why don't you unwrap it and find out?
>> You got to let the sandwich steam. But I
I I am a little bit ashamed looking at
what I made compared to what you've made
cuz these are these are full meals that
you would like serve a human being. And
mine's a crumpled ball of foil. I mean,
there's something in there.
>> There's something in there. It could be
tasty. Where are we starting?
>> Lily's tasty wing.
>> Lily's tasty wing.
>> Lily's tasty wing.
>> So, the idea is to take a wing and then
just dip it in all of the green bean
potato like a dip.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah, I like that noise. It's You
just really got to get in there.
>> There we go. Ladies, real fast. We're
too expensive. [laughter]
>> That's the first time I had a wing on
top of things.
>> This is full.
>> Okay. If you're eating a Thanksgiving
platter, you're going to get this bite,
except it's not going to be chicken
wings. It's going to be dried turkey.
It's going to be awesome.
>> Tastes like Thanksgiving.
>> I will say the butchery on the on the
one flat in there, there's there's um
bone shards everywhere.
>> That's tough.
>> That's all yours is.
>> That was tough.
>> Yeah. This is Thanksgiving canned green
beans. They just kind of turn into like
a condiment.
>> It was the plate. I was really happy
about the plating on this one.
>> As you should have been.
>> Yeah. Should I cut into the steak?
