- And this is why I don't go out.
Not me getting a whole hangover.
I literally am-
I wanna die. I wanna die.
(woman groans)
(upbeat music playing)
Now that I got myself together...
Hey guys.
My name is Kayline and welcome back to my kitchen.
We are staying hydrated today
because we are gonna be eating like Yvonne Orji
for 24 hours.
Now, Yvonne Orji is not only a DMV native, like myself,
but she's a comedian, she's an author,
and now she's starring in her new movie, Vacation Friends.
Now we all have stuff that we like to eat on vacation,
guilt-free.
Mine being burgers, nachos, anything with grease.
So we are gonna be eating
some of her favorite vacation snacks and foods as well,
for 24 hours.
But before we do that,
we gotta figure out what she likes to eat.
So, like, usually when you're on vacation, right,
are you like, relaxed or are you more like, lit?
- It depends on the kind of vacation.
So, if I'm coming off of like,
a stressful like, work situation, then yeah.
I need to be away from people
and just chilling on a island somewhere,
looking at the beach.
- Oh yes.
- Now, if I'm like, all right, I've gotten my rest,
I'm ready for adventure, then yes, I'm like, turn up!
I don't wanna be (muffled).
Let's turn it all the way up.
- So what's your favorite drink then?
- You know, I get down with a lychee martini.
- Oh my God. Yes.
- Right? 'Cause it's like, dainty.
It's sexy. It's classy, but it'll get you got.
Issa actually gets on me all the time,
'cause I be real basic with mine.
I be like, ooh, I like Malibu.
She's like, Malibu?
Like, Malibu rum?
I'm like, yes.
- Now I'm thinking in my head,
I'm like Malibu mixed with lychee, martini,
would that do something? I don't know.
That sounds a little sweet too.
Maybe we should like,
maybe mix that together.
So, I am still a little bit hungover.
A lot of bit hungover.
And apparently, according to Vacation Friends,
according to the movie,
the best way to get rid of a hangover
is to drink more liquor.
So we're gonna go and get a lychee martini
and mix it with rum.
- [Nick] Her little stupid ass is going through it, yo.
- Shut up.
Yeah. I don't know.
Is it open? Is it open?
Oh. Ha.
- Okay. Can I have a lychee martini?
- [Nick] Shaking my head.
- Toast.
Ting.
It's good...
I just- I don't really wanna taste alcohol right now.
But the thing is,
with fruity drinks, they're fruity,
so you just, you down 'em real quick.
(laughs)
Now we're gonna go
to Waffle House.
Not to mention, Waffle House, which was all up in the movie.
- Everyone clowned me because I was just like,
oh, I'm kinda hungry.
We were shooting the scene.
They were like, you ain't never had Waffle House?
I've never had it!
And then, of course, I ODed and I went ham.
I was like, ooh, give me this and give me that.
- I've never had Waffle House.
So now I'm like, what did you get?
I'm gonna get what you got.
- It was a breakfast sandwich, but I mean, the meat-
I was like, (mumbling)
This is good!
- So here's the thing.
I've never had Waffle House in my life
and apparently, the nearest Waffle House to me
is in Virginia.
(record scratches)
Virginia!
(upbeat music playing)
So, after a long trip back, we're finally gonna try it.
I got a sausage, egg and cheese.
Nick got a bacon, egg, and cheese.
So we got our stacker sandwich
and then we also got a loaded hash brown.
So it has peppers, ham, onions...
- Cheese - Cheese
and jalapeños.
It's good.
- Very-
(Nick coughs)
It's dry as hell. Oh my goodness.
- It tastes like a typical egg and cheese sandwich.
I'm not going to rave about it, to be completely honest.
Okay. Ready?
Well, I will say that it is huge.
Okay. You weren't going to wait for me? Damn.
Mm. That is good.
This is good. This is solid. I liked this.
- A lot.
- The peppers and the onions and the ham together
are a really good combination.
And then, they definitely cooked it at perfection.
On to the next meal.
So when you're floating, right?
Imagine you're floating with your lychee martini.
What type of snack are you eating with the lychee martini?
- I do a Trader Joe's run before every vacation.
I gotta have my plantain chips.
I also need my Smokehouse almonds.
- Okay.
- That go with the bananas that I'll be getting.
'Cause I have to have bananas and Smokehouse almonds.
It's a whole thing.
But I'm very much a sweet and savory mixer.
- What else we got?
I love seafood.
Like, give me just a smoked fish.
Give me shrimp and lobster.
I love flavor.
Give me anything with pepper. Like a pepper sauce.
Like a habanero pepper.
Ooh, chile.
I do. I love, not just spice, but flavored spice.
- Right.
- You know, if you're grilling,
you gotta do the Jamaican jerk, like paste.
The one that comes-
It comes like, in a colorful bottle glass jar.
That's the one. Don't get no rub. Don't get no powder.
Nah. This is the Jamaican jerk seasoning
that you should be using.
And you keep it in the fridge.
- And I'm putting it on seafood?
Like, I'm putting it on shrimp?
- You better.
- [Kayline] Oh, look who it is.
(people cheering)
Look who decided to show up.
- Please move, paparazzi.
(Kayline laughing)
Hi. It's me, Kayla. I'm back.
I'm back.
All right. Let's read this menu.
Okay. So we're gonna go get plantain chips, salty and sweet.
Of course.
Smokehouse almonds and bananas.
Is that together?
- Maybe.
- Ew.
Grilled fish with habanero hot sauce
and jerk-
No Jamaican jerk shrimp.
- Yes.
- Mm.
Ooh. Ooh. She shoots, she scores! Let's go!
Let's go!
Yes. It's some grilled fish
in this container
and I'm excited 'cause I'm hungry.
Yas.
(Kayline laughs)
- So it looks like we also have snacks
in common with Yvonne.
She literally picked out most of the snacks
that I eat while I'm on a vacation trip.
I don't know about you.
- Okay. Ready?
- For real?
- I don't like them.
- It's not for everybody.
Sweet plantains aren't for everybody, so I get it.
- It doesn't taste like much.
- All right.
So then, I guess we're doing salt.
- I bet you I like these.
Yeah. Yeah.
- All right.
So now we're going to eat the smoke seasoned almonds
with the bananas.
I hate bananas.
The only way I'll eat a banana is if it's in a smoothie.
Try the almonds.
- Cheers.
- Not my favorite.
- I feel like I'm eating wood.
- All right. Now let's try it with the banana.
(ding)
- I don't like the mix in textures.
Together, it's not good.
So we are back in the kitchen.
I'm here with my sous chef
and we are going to make the last meal of today,
- Finally.
- which is Jamaican jerk seasoning shrimp.
And as you can see here,
just take a-
Ooh. Ooh.
Beautiful.
Yes.
(upbeat music playing)
- Oh, wow.
That's spicy.
- Well, duh! It's jerk shrimp!
- I love it.
- You love it?
- I love it.
- She love it, y'all.
- I just need it over some rice.
- That's on period.
- Taste like jerk shrimp. It's good.
- So now we're going to try this habanero hot sauce.
I've never had it.
The guy- Literally, the cashier, he was like, oh yeah.
- It's my favorite sauce.
- My favorite sauce.
- He says, it gets your stomach going.
I said, wait?
He's like, no, no, no. It's good.
- That's good.
- You like it?
- Yeah. It's sweet.
It's giving sweet and spicy.
- Mm. Mm.
- What?
- Mm.
Mm. - Mm.
- Like, it's not overbearing at all.
It's spicy enough.
Oh, is it hot?
- Are you sweating?
- Nah. It's a lot.
- It's a little hot in here?
- It's hot.
- Okay. So tell me your most favorite
and then tell me your least favorite.
- [Nick] They were all pretty good.
I don't really have any favorites.
They were all pretty solid.
The shrimp was-
Could've been done a little bit better.
(Kayla gasps)
- Not you coming for my shrimp.
- Ohh!
- [Kayline] Not you coming for my shrimp.
- I definitely love these almonds.
This was my favorite thing to eat. I'm sorry.
I know. I know.
- No, it's fine.
- It's 'cause I've personally had everything separately.
By itself, at once.
But, I've never had almonds like this before my life.
I do not care for stuff that tries to burn my tongue.
So, I do not like the jerk salmon.
- The jerk shrimp?
- Jerk shrimp. I do not like the jerk shrimp.
I love it.
- You love it?
- I love it.
[Distorted] I love it. I love it.
- This isn't surprising,
but obviously I loved the Jamaican jerk shrimp.
It's something that we eat at home a lot,
so that just felt like home.
And then, I loved the lychee martini.
I've had it a million times. It's my favorite.
So I think it's safe to say that we have a couple favorites.
There's no top favorite.
There's no least favorite.
I mean, aside from the almonds and the bananas.
I did not like that very much.
All right.
Thanks guys so much for trying
some of Yvonne Orji's favorite vacation snacks with me
and make sure you watch Vacation Friends with your friends
on August 27th.
- Bye.
