We’re each gonna be served a gourmet three-course meal, but each dish contains one unusual secret ingredient. -Uh-huh. -And it’s and our job to figure out what that ingredient is. All I know is that I have this next to my chair. So… [ Laughter ] -Oh, I got one, too. -Oh, you got one — okay, good. So I have a feeling some of these are gonna be interesting. All right. Quest, be nice to me, please. Why are you smiling like that? -I didn’t prepare this. I’m just reading. -Yeah, I know. [ Laughter ] -Anyway… -Look how happy you are. Look how happy — Quest, what is the first course? -Thank you, Jimmy. To start, we have a refreshing piña colada with blended organic coconut cream, fresh pineapple, and a splash of lime juice, garnished with a maraschino cherry. But can you guess the secret ingredient? Bon appétit. Hit it. -This is beautiful. -All right. -Cheers. -Cheers. [ Cheers and applause ] ♪♪ -[ Laughing ] Oh, yeah! Oh, oh, whoa! -Ha! Whoo! -Whoo! -I mean, we all know what it is. -Write your — no, hell no. Write your answers down, gentlemen. -No, we definitely know what it is. -Oh, okay. -Okay. We’re gonna start with Rhett. Can you guess what the secret ingredient was? -I believe… -Yeah. -…it was…wasabi? [ Buzzer ] -That is incorrect. [ Sad tuba ] James Fallon, what is the secret ingredient? -Horseradish. -Oh. -That is incorrect. [ Buzzer ] -What? -All right. Link, what is the secret ingredient? -What about wasab-E? [ Buzzer ] -Ah, wasab-E! Okay, no. The correct answer was yellowtail sashimi. -Oh. Yeah, but they got some wasabi on that. -Yeah. -Some wasabi in there! -They got some wasabi on that. -Hey, I’m just going with the judges. All right, judges. Is that the same thing? [ Buzzer ] All right, see? -It was yellowtail sashimi. -That is the most demoralizing sound in the world. All right. -All right. -All right. Speaking of seafood — -No! Why are we speaking of seafood? -Let’s speak more of seafood. Yes. Speaking of seafood, for our next course, we have a crab cake made with jumbo lump crab meat from Maryland. All right? -Oh. -Seasoned with a medley of spices. -Maryland’s really gonna push me over the edge? -Yes, it came direct from — -Oh! No, what is this? I don’t like creamy stuff. [ Laughter ] -All right. Look, it’s with herbs and spices and pan-fried until golden brown. -Yeah, I don’t like it. -But, Jimmy… -I don’t like it. [ Laughter ] -…can you guess the secret ingredient? -I’m just gonna guess without eating it. -Hit it. -You got to eat it. -We might do this right, though. I mean, a little lemon — -Mm, that’s right, put that lemon on there. Yeah. Dig deep. -Uh, I don’t like, uh… All right. All right. I don’t like creamy stuff. [ Laughter ] -It’s not bad. It’s not bad. -Okay. All right. -It’s not good either, though. -Taste some more. All right, all right, all right. You got to write your answers down. ♪♪ -Tastes like a crab cake. -Oh. -Yeah, but that wasn’t bad at all. -There’s something hidden in there that — -Yeah, there is. -Oh, yeah. Something just hit me on the end there, maybe. -Yeah. [ Laughter ] All right, so, Rhett, we’ll start with you. Can you guess what the secret ingredient was? -Um, I think it might be chocolate, y’all. Yeah. -Judges, what do you say? [ Buzzer ] Nope. [ Sad tuba ] -Idiot! -Jimmy. -You hear that? -What is the secret ingredient? -I’m gonna say it’s a breakfast cereal. I’m think I’ll say it’s Corn Cones. [ Laughter ] [ Buzzer ] [ Sad tuba ] -You know what? -Little throwback. -It’s not that… but I’ll allow it, so… -Wow. -Anyway, Link, what is the correct answer? -I tasted some sweetness in there. I feel a little prune action. [ Laughter ] [ Buzzer ] [ Sad tuba ] -Aw! -That’s not a bad guess. I was tasting something kind of, like, sugary. -You were near it. It was actually cookie dough. -Cookie dough? -There’s still chocolate in it! -Cookie — [ Laughter ] -Hey, dawg, talk to the — talk to the judges. -Half a point? -You got to go — [ Cheers and applause ] -I think we give him half a point. [ Ding! ] -I think — yeah. -Half a point. -Oh, yeah, half a point. -You have half a point. You’re in the lead. You’re guessing the right things. -All right. Let’s get down to our last course. All right, so the meal is not complete without dessert. And tonight, we have a cinnamon roll. -Mm. -Great. -Made from puffy brioche dough. -Oh, puffy, huh. -Rolled with cinnamon spices and with melted butter. -Okay. You’re talking about a cinnamon roll. -Yeah. Topped with vanilla sugar. But can you — can you guess what the secret ingredient is? -Now, I don’t like creamy stuff. Do I have to try that? -You got to get — the best part of a cinnamon roll is the heart. -Yeah. -You gotta de-heart it. [ Laughter ] You want to excise that heart, Jimmy. -I don’t — -Like that. -I don’t like — I don’t like creamy stuff, so I’m not gonna try that creamy stuff. -That’s how you kill a cinnamon roll. -You never had a cinnamon roll before, Jimmy? -Uh, yeah. -It’s great, Jimmy! Get in there! -Wait, so your anti-cream thing is also with… -I don’t like — -Will you just — Go ahead, man. Come on. -No, I can’t do it. I can’t. -Just do it! -It’s great, Jimmy. -I can’t do it. I don’t like creamy mayonnaise, mustard. Like, no, I can’t do it. -Do it! Do it! -It’s not mayonnaise. It’s not mustard. -Come on. -I don’t like it. [ Audience chanting “Jimmy!” ] -What is that? [ Applause ] ♪♪ -[ Laughs ] Oh! [ Sad tuba ] -All right, Rhett? [ Trash can bangs ] Now remember, this is worth 10,000 points. -Oh, yeah. -Oh, really? -Yeah. It’s worth 10,000 points. -I’m very confident in this answer. I believe the secret ingredient was love. [ Laughter ] [ Sad tuba ] [ Buzzer ] -No. -You say prunes again? -I was — I was not the secret ingredient. Jimmy. -Yeah? -What is the secret ingredient? -It was disgusting. It was awful and cruel and I just — gosh. I’m so mad. But I’m gonna say toothpaste? [ Buzzer ] [ Sad tuba ] -That’d have been good, though. -Thank you. -No. Link? -It had a sourness to it. -Yeah, it had a sourness to it. That’s why I said lemon. [ Buzzer ] [ Sad tuba ] Lemon. -Sometimes love is sour. [ Laughter ] -No — -Love goes bad. -Is this real? Can I have this? Or is this, like, dog urine or something like that? [ Laughter ] -So, the answer was steak sauce. -Oh. -Oh, I can smell it! Got to smell the hole. -No, I’m good, dawg. I’m good. -Steak sauce. All right. Thanks for Rhett and Link.
