- Hey, Ronnie Anne. - Sup, Lincoln.
Hope saved room for our food inspired vlog.
My stomach and I are so ready.
[laughing]
Mine too. Today, Casa Crew, we'll be reviewing food
from our favorite spots.
Then we'll be talking about what's for dinner.
And if that wasn't exciting enough, we have a very special guest joining us.
Lincoln, tell me when I should turn my camera on.
- You got it, buddy. Just wait for my cue. - OK.
[laughing]
I wonder who that could be.
Now introducing the One-Eyed Jack to my Ace Savvy,
the better half of Clincon--
It's me, Clyde Mc--
[laughing]
Whoops, I think I came in early.
Sorry, Lincoln, keep going. I'm just very excited.
[laughing]
OK, where was I?
Oh right. You know him. You love him. He's the best pastry chef I know.
He's my best friend. Now, Clyde.
It's me, Clyde McBride.
You know, I got to say, that second time felt a lot better.
[laughing]
How long did you two practice that?
Per day, three hours for about two weeks.
Too bad we had to cut our dance number.
I would have loved to have seen that.
How's it going, Clyde? Welcome to the vlog.
Thanks, Ronnie Anne. Long-time fan, first-time caller.
I got to tell you, the unboxing vlog had me in stitches.
[laughing]
I can't believe Lincoln fell for the old pie in the face again.
Yeah, me neither.
[laughing]
Well, we're so excited that you could join, Clyde.
All right, Lincoln, since you happened to win
the rock, paper, scissors tournament beforehand, you can go first.
But eventually, you'll have to teach me how you were able
to predict my every move and Clyde's.
Well, it's a complicated process of getting into the mind of your opponent.
And also, Clyde picks Rock every time.
Now, let's see your rock pose.
Uh, what's that?
My rock pose. I'm igneous.
This is true.
Even in an imaginary game, my dads still won't let me use scissors.
Well, today I'll be reviewing Flip's
loaded nachos and testing a new jerky flavored flippy.
- Did you see jerky flavored? Awesome. - Plus, Flip was running a deal.
Buy one loaded nacho,
get one flippy free after you pay for a flippy.
You know, know that I'm saying it out loud,
I don't actually think it was a deal. Oh well let's try them.
Wait, Lincoln.
Did you make sure the nacho cheese machine was free of laundry?
Ugh, I think I found the clog.
There's my missing sock.
No sense in wasting good cheese.
Don't worry. That was the first thing I checked.
Not a sock in sight.
Phew. OK, good.
Mm.
OK, these nachos are definitely loaded with flavor.
There's cheese, chips, jalapenos.
And I think I'm detecting spicy mustard?
Spicy mustard?
That's a clever food pairing.
Flip's been doing some wonderful work with acidity lately.
Next, the jerky flavored flippy.
Hm...
Are you chewing your flippy?
Yeah, there's a lot more, well, jerky than I was expecting.
But overall, I'd give this meal four Flips out of five.
That's going to be tough to beat.
Let's see how Great Lake City special from Bruno's hotdog cart compares.
It's got sweet green pickle relish, avocado, dill pickle, tomato, white onion,
jalapeno ketchup, mustard and a pinch of cilantro.
Or as we like to call it, one hot dog dragged through the garden.
Morning, Bruno. I'll have the Great Lakes City special,
one dog dragged through the garden.
Who knew a hot dog could have so many ingredients? But they all work together.
The spicy brings out the sweet,
and the sour heightens the dog's natural umami.
I'll let Bruno know you said that. Now to try it.
Mm, these are always the best.
I could eat these for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
[laughing]
- Did you say breakfast? - Yeah, I did.
You want a hot dog with the works
- at 9 a.m.? - Yup.
You sure I can't interest you in a Danish or something?
For this review,
I'll give this five dogs out of five.
A perfect score?
Wow. The bar has been set.
OK, so I'll be trying Gus's Games and Grub's cured meat lover's pizza.
It's got four cheeses, pepperoni, salami, bacon and sausage.
Wow, that looks amazing. Oh, that reminds me.
Did you check to see if my high score on Dance Battle was still up?
Are you kidding me? Nobody's even come close.
Can't say I'm surprised.
Dance battle start!
- Oh, watch this. - Yeah!
Oh, I've got a better--
From the moment Gus brought it out, this pizza made an excellent first impression.
The presentation, the even-cured meat distribution.
Now to try this bad boy out.
Mm. Not only does it look great, but it tastes great too.
And the best part is when you're done, the box makes for a great craft project.
Eat my dust, pizza box Lincoln.
Eat my crust, Clyde. Ha-ha-ha-ha!
But of course it's no substitute for the real thing.
Thanks buddy.
I'm prepared to give this pizza four and a half cardboard Lincolns out of five.
That's a great score. Man, I miss Gus's.
You need to come visit.
Gus is going to unveil a new Muscle Fish game soon.
Critics have called it musclier and fishier than the first one.
Aw man, that sounds amazing,
but hey, are you guys ready to talk about what you're having for dinner?
I've been thinking about it all day.
[sighing]
Mm, mac and cheese bites.
Ah, mac and cheese bites.
- Uh, Lincoln? - Huh?
Oh, sorry. Daydreaming about food.
My dad makes the best mac and cheese bites,
and I convinced him to make them for dinner.
They're perfectly breaded with equal parts of mac and cheese with a dash of--
Caramel!
Wait, did I already tell you that?
After you told me about your frosty farms frozen feast
Ace Savvy adventure, I never forgot it.
Well? Well? Taste anything familiar?
Hmm. This lasagna kind of tastes like my dad's,
and so do the mac and cheese bites and the Salisbury steak.
How is that possible?
Wait, did someone steal my dad's recipes?
What other explanation could there be? When I tasted these, I flipped out.
OK, before I flip out too, let's be a hundred percent sure.
Grab those frozen dinners and follow me.
Ronnie Anne, I'm sure your abuela has something amazing planned for dinner.
Try a thousand. But my favorite thing tonight is called caldo de siete mares.
- Or soup of the seven seas. - Yum! How do you prepare it?
First you have to catch your catfish and tilapia literally,
then arm wrestle for mussels, boomerang jumbo shrimp, pick out the right octopus,
open up to the clams and swim with the squid.
- Open up to the clams? - Boomerang jumbo shrimp?
I know how to dice, sauté, stir and even flambé with parental supervision.
But this is on a whole new level.
[laughing]
Well, my abuela is pretty picky with her ingredients and how they're prepared.
- What are we looking at here? - Shh.
The recipe calls for fresh epasote,
so we have to wait for it to bloom,
and pick it at just the right time.
But it's so worth it.
- Chef Clyde, what's cooking? - You mean what's baking?
While my dads are making dinner. I prepared a dessert sampler.
We have a chocolate mousse cake topped with strawberries,
strawberry cheesecake topped with strawberries,
and a powdered sugar puff pastry top with strawberries.
My dads just got back from picking strawberries,
As Vito would say, holy cannoli!
Ooh, that reminds me, I think the cannolis are done.
Clyde, I don't know how you do it.
Ronnie Anne, you should have seen him
save the Valentine's Day dance from a culinary disaster.
- Can you fix it? - Hm. It's not going to be easy,
but I think I can do it. Ow!
- Woo. - It is gorgeous!
There's nothing a few piping bags and spatulas can't fix,
except maybe my fear of scary movies.
Dr. Lopez and I are still working on that one.
Leni, turn the movie off!
[laughing]
Kids, dinner's ready!
Well, I think it's mac and cheese bite time.
This was so fun. I hope I didn't mess up the vlog's
- casual and informative appeal. - Not at all.
It was great having another person to talk to.
- You should join more. - Really?
Deep breaths.
This is very exciting news.
[laughing]
Well, I guess that's all.
- Bye, everyone! - See you late--
Oh, you first.
- Bye, everyone! - See you--
Did she mean me or you?
[laughing]
We'll figure this out. Next time, we'll rock, paper, scissors for it,
and I will beat you, Lincoln. Bye, everyone!
