- Who makes the best fast food hot dog?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
Good Mythical Morning!
- Here in America we love hot dogs.
We have absolutely no idea what's in them,
but you put a dog in my hand I'm gonna eat it.
- Mm-hmm, the only thing more American
than getting a hot dog at a fast food restaurant
is getting six hot dogs from six fast food restaurants.
And also being blindfolded.
It's time for which greasy fast food meat tube
is Worth the chew and which taste like the backwash
of award winning actor Tony Shaloub?
- How would you even know what that taste like?
- We gonna find out, I don't know.
We're tasting hot dogs from six popular, here's six,
that's how many fingers that is,
fast foods spots-- - Oh my gosh.
- And we're rating them from one to 10 to determine
the best one.
Those six places are.
- Five Guys.
- Sonic Drive-In.
- Dairy Queen.
- Costco.
- Wienerschnitzel.
- And 7-Eleven.
- Now, to keep things fair we got plain beef hot dogs
and we're using the ketchup and the mustard
from those respective locations.
And if you think seven and 11 and Costco
aren't fast food restaurants, well, you're right.
But they do serve food fast so that's good enough for us.
- Did you just say seven and 11?
- Seven and 11.
- Okay, this wouldn't be a proper taste test
without a little friendly competition,
so whoever can guess the most wieners correctly
in terms of matching them to their wiener establishment
will receive a very own hot dog on a stick
from former Hot Dog on a Stick employee, Matt Carney.
- Oh, let's eat some meat.
(upbeat music)
- As you can see, we can't.
- Okay, every hot dog is gonna be brought in
on the patent pending Hot Dog Hot Tub.
- Ooh, wish I could see that.
Bring it in.
(Link growling)
Okay.
Hmm.
- This is gonna be tough.
- Yeah, first we should rank them on a scale of one to 10
how much we like it.
- I mean, this is okay.
I mean, I like hot dogs,
but I don't particularly like that one.
- You know what, I actually really like this one.
I think, I'm giving this one a seven
and that's conservative.
- What do you like about it?
- I almost wanna give it an eight.
The hot dog itself tastes,
it tastes like it's got love in it.
It tastes good, it's a good tasting dog.
The bread, meh.
- [Stevie] Wait, did you say a seven and an eight?
A seven, not an eight?
- I almost gave it an eight, but I'm giving it a seven.
- [Stevie] Okay.
- What are you giving it?
- I'm giving it a four.
I don't-- - Dang homie.
- I'm not feeling the love in that one.
- You're gonna find that hot dog is better than you realize.
- Okay, I--
- I think I know where it's from, too.
- I've got a guess.
- [Stevie] Okay, here we go, three, two, one.
- 7-Eleven. - Five Guys.
- You think it's from Five Guys?
- Yeah, yeah. - 7-Eleven.
- I think I felt like it had a little hamburger grease
and that's what made it good.
It's cooked in the same spot.
- Well, you got a different hot dog than I did.
- [Both] Round two.
- Bring it in.
- Okay.
It's been a while since we been blindfolded.
It feels good.
- I mean, on this show, yes.
- Hmm, this is a slightly bigger dog than the last one.
The last one was a thin dog.
- This is better.
- It's a thicker dog.
Ooh, yeah it is better.
My scale-- - Where are you gonna go?
You're gonna have to break 10, man.
That hot dog is way better.
- This hot dog, wow, it has a lot of flavor.
- Exactly, unlike the first one.
- I guess I like hot dogs with not a lot of flavor.
Almost too much flavor.
Yeah, I'm just like--
- Too much flavor?
- It almost tastes like ham.
- I like it.
And it's a beef hot dog.
I feel really good about this one.
- The aftertaste isn't good for me.
I'm sorry, it's flavorful, but.
- Okay, well I'm going to eight.
I'm giving this one an eight.
It's not a perfect hot dog, but it's pretty good.
- I'm gonna give it a five
because though it does have a lot of flavor,
the flavor is kind of hammy.
- It has a hammy flavor.
- [Stevie] You ready?
- Hold on.
Yeah, I think I got an idea.
- [Stevie] Okay, three, two, one.
- Sonic! - Wienerschnitzel .
- What, really? - Maybe.
- I'm going, I think Sonic 'cause it was big
and they like to do things big.
(upbeat music)
- [Both] Round three.
- We wanna remind you, check out the Mythical Kitchen
channel for all types of culinary creations.
Josh has posted a recipe for chili dog upside down cake.
- What? - Yeah, check that out.
- Okay, wiener my schnitzel.
- Aye aye aye aye.
Okay. - Oh.
That was a thick wiener.
- That is, you thought that last wiener was big,
this is a big hot dog.
- Oh, what are they trying to prove?
You couldn't even choke on that wiener
because it would get stuck before it got into your throat.
- Somebody's got a chip on their shoulder.
They are trying to prove something.
- 'Cause people choke on hot dogs all the time,
I mean, it's like the number one way to die.
- How would you, yeah, period.
For everyone on Earth?
- Number one cause of death worldwide, choking on wieners.
- How would you describe the taste?
- I was so overwhelmed with the girth.
- Right.
- That I was unable to process the taste.
But I do not want another bite because I don't wanna die.
- The skin was thin and the hot dog was thick,
but there wasn't a lot of...
- Don't say the skin was thin, man.
- You know some of them have a thicker skin.
- [Rhett] Yeah, like a pop.
- I think I know where this one's from, but,
you know I did not like it.
I don't like it that big.
I gonna give it a four.
- I was thrown off by the girth as well,
but I appreciate the effort so I'm gonna give it a five
and I think I know the place that would be willing
to try this.
- Yeah, me too.
- [Stevie] Here we go, three, two, one.
- Costco! - Costco!
You know Costco! - Yeah!
- Got those big wieners. - We got it, we got it.
Big ole wieners. - Big ones!
- Costco, big ole warehouse, big ole wieners.
- That big around, come and get a sample.
(upbeat music)
- [Both] Round four!
- Okay.
Listen, hopefully we got a small one this time,
my jaw needs a rest.
- You know, my wife she goes her whole life
and she never eats a hot dog.
- [Rhett] I heard about that.
- She's never eaten a hot dog.
- Oh oh.
That's a tiny wiener.
Oh, that taste awful.
- The mustard and the ketchup taste different on this
one too because they're using the mustard and ketchup
from each restaurant on it.
- The meat tastes like, I know that hot dog meat
is already the rejected meat, but I feel like
this is the rejected meat
from other hot dogs that were made.
You know what I'm saying?
Like doubly rejected meat.
- It's not a good taste.
- Wow, that's not good.
- One.
- Two.
- Giving it a one, you're giving it a two?
Two is the lowest you can go with a hot dog?
- Yeah, I mean it's still a hot dog.
Man, I don't wanna disrespect anybody.
- So where do you think that sucky dog is from, man?
Who's got the suckinest dog out there?
- I feel like I know who this is
because of something that they do specifically
with their dogs, and I've seen them do it.
Those rascals, yes I've seen 'em do it.
- You've seen 'em do it?
- Yup, seen 'em do it.
- All right, I have a guess, I'm ready.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Dairy Queen. - Seven and 11.
- Nope, I think it's Dairy Queen, they boil them suckers.
- Oh!
- They used to, I don't know, don't get me in trouble.
Don't use me Dairy!
- 'Cause they had to get a special license
to grill the burgers and some of them didn't have that
but they could always boil them.
- They give you a boiled hot dog.
That's what I remember as a child now.
Things may be different, I'm sorry, don't send me a bill.
(upbeat music)
- [Both] Round five!
- Feed me!
(Link mumbling)
Okay.
Oh my gosh.
- That bun is so toasty.
- That's a huge bun.
That bun, this is a place that expects a lot of toppings
because their buns are huge.
You just wanna nestle a bunch of stuff on top
of that hot dog.
- But that's a nice profile.
I mean, the flavor profile of that hot dog.
- Really good, yeah.
- Is really subtle.
- Yeah. - Not too hammy.
- That's what I'm saying, not too hammy.
- There's not bad aftertaste, it's like yeah,
it's saying bring me the toppings.
- But I agree that the hot dog itself
is the best tasting hot dog.
- And the bun was great, the bun was great.
- Yeah, I'm gonna give this a, I'm gonna give it a nine.
- I don't know if I can go all the way to nine.
- Where is this from?
- I think I'm gonna go all the way to nine with you.
- Come-- - I'm going there.
- Come to nineland!
It's wonderful, we have hot dogs that aren't too flavorful
but are really good.
- And I think I know the place that would do this
and the way that they did it.
- [Stevie] Okay, three, two, one.
- Five Guys! - Sonic Drive-In!
- I said Five Guys, you said Sonic?
- I know, I was just louder.
I thought that would make me more right if I yell it.
- Well, you might be right.
- All right, can we remove the folds?
- No we got another hot dog, man.
- Oh man! - You're not gonna
get of this easy.
- [Both] Round six!
- It all comes down to this.
- Last wiener.
- What, what, what?
What the heck, what, what.
What is the bun?
- Well, the bun is a piece of bread
that is designed to put the wiener inside.
- Oh my goodness, I think this might be the best one.
- The way that the bun folded around the wiener
and the wiener was big.
- Mm-hmm, the form factor was totally different
than any other one that we've eaten today, am I right?
- The taste is not on par.
The taste is good. - The taste is really good,
really good.
- Seven.
- I don't know.
- I can't go all the way to eight on this one.
- I can, but I can't go to nine,
so I give it an eight.
- Okay.
- Very good dog.
- Where do they wrap their wieners so tightly?
- I actually think the bun was the best tasting
at this place.
- How do they get the wiener
to have such a close relationship with the bun?
Or maybe it was the bun that had a close relationship
with the wiener.
- I'm trying to remember.
- That is really the question of the day.
- Let's see, what's the other place
I haven't guessed?
There's Sonic and then the other one?
- Dairy Queen?
- Yeah, oh dang.
- [Stevie] I know this is hard, but I'm gonna have
to give you a three, two, one.
- Uh okay, I've got a guess, I don't feel great about it.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Sonic. - Wienerschnitzel .
- Okay, can we de.
- [Stevie] Yeah, you can remove your blindfolds.
- Oh man, back in the real world.
I can't see.
- [Stevie] Link.
- Have I done something?
- [Stevie] You have one point.
(Rhett clapping)
- Dang man, how many does Rhett have?
- [Stevie] Rhett, you have one point as well.
- This is tough, man!
- We suck so bad!
- Is it the same one?
- [Stevie] Yes, it's the same one, it's Costco.
You guys celebrated it.
- All right, we got that.
Yeah, big warehouse, big dog.
I remember that earlier.
- Yeah.
- [Stevie] The biggest surprise though,
is that your number one dog, overwhelmingly,
is from 7-Eleven.
- Yes! - Yeah, right, really?
- [Rhett] They know what they're doing.
- I'm sorry, 7-Eleven, I ripped y'all a new one
I'm thinking that you had the worst.
- [Stevie] But here's--
- Didn't I do that?
- I don't know.
- [Stevie] Better news, I don't know if that was good news,
but I'm gonna say that Matt Carney can come
give you guys both a hot dog on a stick.
- Oh wow! - Oh man, look at that.
Actual former employee.
- Hot dog on a stick for you two from me, Matt Carney.
- Who gets the stick?
- You have to break it like a wishbone.
- This is how you talked when you worked there?
- One hot dog on a stick.
- He's so charming.
- Whose idea was it for you to get back in your getup
which apparently you kept?
It was your idea.
I think it was his idea.
- I love it, does Hot Dog on a Stick
give you their slippery,
they're slippery, they gotta say something then they don't.
- You grab them and it just pops out the end.
- Okay, we'll break down these hot dogs
in Good Mythical More as well.
