- That is a hefty pickle.
- This is a thick mother.
- This fully tastes like a megrine.
- [Narrator] It was, about, like $18.00.
- $18.00?
(upbeat music)
- Today, we are gonna be
trying each other's work lunches that we bought.
- I haven't been working for a long time,
so I still have the mindset of like a broke student,
so I need cheap.
- You want something that's gonna keep you going
and give you like a slow release energy.
You don't want anything that's gonna make you crash.
- What I don't want is something that's gonna probably
make my breath stanky.
- My relationship with my work lunch has changed,
'cause I used to say like
I want something like nice and healthy.
But now that it's a little bit of a treat,
because I'm not in the office all the time.
I want something that's gonna be absolutely delicious.
- So this is how it's gonna work.
We're going to taste each other's lunch.
We're gonna give them a score between one and 10
- And whoever gets the highest score wins.
- So my work lunch order is a schnitzel sandwich.
It's called the Schnitz.
It's from this beautiful little sandwich shop,
that's literally across the street from where we work
and it's big, delicious slices of bread
with like huge chunks of schnitzel and lettuce
and then I add jalapenos in there as well
for a bit of crunch and a bit of spice.
- This is a thick mother, big fat sandwich.
- I don't think you can go too wrong
with a chicken schnitzel sandwich.
- [Ev] You like chicken schnitzel?
- Yeah, but not as much as like Australians do,
Australians really fucking love their schnitty, you know?
- And there's jalapenos.
I'm not like good with spice so,
I'm like a complete wuss.
(upbeat music)
- Oh big.
(upbeat music)
- I take it back, the jalapenos make this.
- Mm, I like this chicken.
- It tastes so nice with spice.
(regal music) Adding a little spice
in your life,
you'll be not regretful, um.
- The bread is very light and delicate.
- The only thing really shining for it, is the jalapeno.
And you don't even get it in every bite.
- The flavors in here are really enjoyable.
- A little bit of mayo in there for a saucy texture.
Sandwiches are the underdog of lunches,
like they're something that you have when
you were a kid in school.
And then I just don't think to make them or buy them.
But actually sandwiches are fricking the bomb.
- This wouldn't be high on my list,
'cause I want more.
I would score like a six.
- I think I would food coma after it,
and that might make the workday
just a little bit hard to concentrate.
So I'm gonna give this one an eight point five out of 10.
- If I could add something to it,
I'd probably chuck a little bit of avocado in there.
I'm gonna give it an eight.
- My work lunch is a falafel goddess pitta
from Jimmy's Falafel.
It's got falafels like rolling out.
They're so soft in the middle
and crispy on the outside.
And then you get this like pickled pepper poking out.
There's like some hummus and like lots of veggies.
It's super healthy.
This is a super popular food in Sydney CBD.
Literally the line is out the door.
- Wow, this is very boujee.
- It has so many colors.
- That is a hefty pickle,
pickle juice.
- Jimmy's falafel is very fancy.
Who's getting that for lunch?
I want to know.
I wanna know what your salary is.
(lauging)
- Just kidding.
- If I'm going to pay a lot for money,
even though it looks fucking amazing,
my heart would hurt.
- Like this pickle just feels so wrong, but ah
- I'm probably gonna need a napkin after this bite.
(upbeat music)
(group crunching)
- Mm.
- Fucking awesome,
flavor's amazing.
- It's so delicious, oh my God.
I love the freshness of everything.
- The falafel. (lips smacking)
Amazing.
- The pitta bread's so soft and so fluffy.
This is delicious.
- I love a creamy hummus.
I think it might even have garlic in it.
- Pickled radish, I think.
- I'm making such a mess, but it's so worth it.
- You've got the crunchiness.
You've got the sauces that make it,
you know, nice and smooth.
- This is so good.
How much was it though?
- [Sybil] It was about, like $18.00.
- $18.00?
For a work lunch?
Whose is this?
- You wouldn't wanna eat it with a white dress on.
So I'm gonna mark it down slightly,
but nine and a half 10.
- I would go an eight.
- I can taste the quality,
but for a work lunch?
But that just means I'm scoring it a nine.
So it's still a very high score. (lips smacking)
It's beautiful.
- I got a tempura veggie roll
and also salmon nigiri on the side.
What I love about any sushi place
is that you can mix and match
and like do whatever combination you like.
And also you can get how much ever you want.
Customize it to your perfection.
- Sushi.
- Can't go wrong with sushi.
Sushi's such a classic.
- It's like so simple and easy to get.
I love that about it.
And it's so affordable in Australia.
Like there's so many pros about sushi.
- What is this?
It looks like an egg.
Ah, this is veggie tempura,
I have been told, yum.
And salmon, ugh, salmon is the bomb,
salmon is the bomb,
- Salmon nigiri,
and they like blow torch it,
and it's got mayonnaise,
and I think teriyaki sauce on it.
- So everyone knows
that the way that you eat sushi is, fish down, right.
(upbeat music)
And I know everyone's gonna say, "you so pretentious".
This is how you're supposed to eat it.
So you can taste the full thing, right?
(upbeat music)
- This is probably the best flavor you can get.
- Salmon, nailed it.
- Yum, this is usually what I would order
from like a sushi place, anyway.
This I've never had before.
- It's a lot hanging out.
Like the overhang is not this big usually.
Mm yum, oh my God,
it taste like a hash brown.
- What am I tasting the most,
like zucchini maybe?
- This fully tastes like megrine.
- Yeah, zucchini,
you can taste the zucchini.
An onion.
Oh, it's the onion, mm.
- I love so many things about this.
- This is a solid work lunch, once again.
And I bet it didn't cost $18.00.
- It's a good combination of the fish
and then the veggie option as well.
And then they're completely different flavors.
So you really feel like you're having an experience.
- I do like it more than I was expecting.
- Oh, this is a tough one.
Everyone has such a fucking great work lunch, Jesus.
It's a solid nine and a half again.
- A nine outta 10.
- Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
Yum, 10, 10 outta 10.
- So my work lunch order
is tofu and veggie laksa.
Like, it's a warming like I get in my belly,
heat my belly.
Why, am I Scottish? (laughs)
It's like a I wanna heat my belly, kind of meal.
It's healthy too.
Like there's veggies in there.
Like it's just an allround winning combination.
- Ooh, we have fragrance.
We have noodling noodles.
- I love this squishy tofu.
I don't know what it's called, but it's like a sponge,
and it soaks everything up
and it's so delicious.
- This is more up my alley,
because it has more than one thing going on.
- There is a lot of veg in here.
It's healthy, it's light.
- Ooh, we got beets, Jesus.
This is like a hunt for like what veggies can you find?
- I like getting the soup,
and like eating that until there's like none left,
and then I eat what's left over.
- So I've got literally everything in this bite.
So it better be a good bite.
(people eating)
- Tastes like coconut,
prawn, chicken, chili.
- The moment you try this, you're like health.
This feels like the healthiest thing you can eat.
- It's not terrible, it's kind of flavorless.
- This sauce is very, very mild.
If it was me, I would add a lot of spice.
- This is really delicious.
Sometimes corporate food is really bland,
and this really adds some spice and flare to work lunch.
- It feels like a little bit of an effort.
You definitely have to sit at a desk to eat this.
- See, I really, really like this.
So it's going to be like a nine out of 10.
- You know what, as time's gone on,
it's really won me over, eight out of 10
- Laksa as a soup (lips smacking)
at a work lunch,
a little bit messy.
I think I'm gonna have to give this one an eight.
- [Ev] And the winner is.
(drums rolling)
Sybil.
- Ah, yay.
Classics wins, sushi never loses.
(lauging)
(woman conversing)
(excited chatter)
(indistinct)
