- Which restaurant Queso is liquid gold?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
Good Mythical Morning.
- Now, you might think that queso is a recent invention,
but think again, because this cheesy saucy Tex-Mex staple
actually dates back to the turn of the century,
but it didn't become the uber popular dip that it is now
until the 60s and 70s.
- Is that right? - Thanks for coming to class.
- Well, thank you for having me, professor.
I love some queso, but how difficult would it be
to distinguish one chain restaurant's queso from another?
- I think it would be very difficult.
Because I haven't had all these.
- Yeah, how difficult would it be to determine
which queso is the best?
- Oh, that's easy, I like saying what things are best.
- And isn't this a great job? - Oh, yes it is.
- It's time for Quesoooooh Boy. Today is a Great Day.
Blind Restaurant Queso Taste Test.
- Stevie, hit us with the cheesy deets.
- [Stevie] Today you'll be tasting seven different quesos
from Chipotle, Buffalo Wild Wings, Taco Bell,
El Pollo Loco, Del Taco, Qdoba, and Chili's.
- That is seven. - You will taste
each of them blindfolded
and guess which queso came from where,
you'll also be tasting the chip
with the corresponding restaurant.
And Rhett, you failed to use the prize you won
in yesterday's episode,
that means it's backup for grabs today.
So the winner of this game will win the right
to correct the loser with a loud, actually,
as much as he wants at "Good Mythical More".
- That's right, you didn't do that.
- Whoever loses has to dress up like a sexy little mouse.
- Has to? - Wow. Okay.
Don't tempt me.
- All right.
(upbeat music)
As you can see, we can't.
- And each one of these chips and queso
is going to be brought to us, I understand it to be,
on the Chippy Cheesy Margareezy, patent pending.
- Okay. - Let's bring it in.
- Why is it called a Margareezy?
- Because I think it has a little glass of queso
if you don't get enough with the chip.
- Okay. Okay, my voice is cracking like these chips.
- This is gonna be so difficult.
- I know what the chip from Chili's tastes like.
And I know what the queso from Chipotle tastes like because-
- Yeah, I think that's- - Nobody likes it.
- The only one that I'll maybe have a chance of getting.
I like this queso.
- What is that? - You okay over there?
- (slurps) Hm. Trying to get some more queso?
- Oh, can I drink the queso straight?
- Hm, there was a chunk or something in that queso.
- Whoa, hold on now. Does that got sausage in it?
- I mean, it's a little spicy.
- It's got some little beads like-
- That's good. - Is that boba?
It Does it have boba in it?
No, it doesn't have boba. That would be crazy.
- I don't know what it was- - That's good, it's spicy.
- It's a little runny though.
Let's go ahead and say how much we like it
on a scale of one to 10.
- I actually really like it
because it's got some spice to it.
But it's the first one. - Not too much.
- I don't wanna go too, too high.
I mean, it's a seven. It's a solid seven.
- Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Seven for me as well.
And then to guess what it is. Oh crap, okay.
- I mean- - You ready?
- I know where it's not from
but I don't know where it is from.
- I mean, tasting the chip should kind of help but it-
- I'm ready for a guess.
- Okay, all right. - 3, 2, 1.
- Buffalo Wild Wings! - El Pollo Loco!
So we're both in chicken territory.
We felt like these caso went with chicken.
- I thought it was spicy. - I went fast food though.
- And the only thing I know,
because we were talking a second ago
and David Hill said that they had a skillet queso
at Buffalo Wild Wings
and I thought I'd tasted some little pieces of sausage
and that seems like it would come inside of a skillet.
(crew laughing)
I just gave you my secret, but I'm probably wrong.
So don't listen to me. - Why would Buffalo Wild Wings
put sausage in their queso?
That's crazy, right?
(upbeat music)
- Bring in the next one.
- Oh, okay. - Huh.
Hmm, that's got more bell pepper.
And it's very nacho cheese. - Unspicy.
- And by that I mean, it is your cheese, man. You know?
- I'm gonna get a little bit more of the queso, is it still-
- I would love some of that.
(Link slurps)
Oh. - Ain't no sausage in that.
- No. - Ain't nothing in that.
You're right.
- That tastes like a Dodgers game.
- We're in full nacho territory. Hmm.
I don't like it. I'm gonna give it a three outta 10.
- Because I know what queso can be-
- And the first one was so good compared to that.
- Man... - That's not queso.
It's just nacho cheese.
- And because of that, I'm giving it a two, Link.
- Mm-hm, okay. I'm ready to guess.
- [Stevie] 3, 2, 1
- Del Taco. - Del Taco.
- Uh-huh! - What?!
We did it, man. - Yeah!
Yeah. Fist bump, right?
Oh, that's too close. Too close, too close.
- Oh man.
(upbeat music)
I'm enjoying this even more than I thought I would.
- Hmm.
(Link grunts)
- Oh, oh.
I went so far, I got the metal part.
- Oh yeah? - I think I lost a filling.
(crew laughing)
I think I lost my front tooth filling.
I got a filling right there on my-
- Really? - My front incisor.
I don't. You can't get one there, I don't think.
Can you get a filling right there?
I think if you get a cavity on that tooth
they just take it out.
- That chip ain't bad. - The chip is hard.
Can I have a more of the queso?
- Yeah, me too.
(both slurping)
- Hmm. - Thicker, still viscous.
- I would think I was having- - It's mild.
- A jarred queso.
You know what I'm saying?
- You've been jarred. - If you told me
that came from a jar-
- Yeah, I believe you.
- Oh gosh, I think I just stuck my wrist in queso.
- It's got some mild spice to it, which is nice.
It's got a building heat.
I think there were a little flecks of something in it. Hmm.
- It's not that bad. It's a five.
Right in the middle of the scale for me.
- Oh yeah, I agree. I give it a five too.
It's not that seven from the first round,
which seven may be the new 10.
We'll have to see how that goes.
- Uh. - Where's this from?
- These are from...
- Am I driving through? Am I burrito-ing up?
Or am I sitting down and ordering?
- Okay. I have a guess.
- Okay, I'm ready.
- [Stevie] 3, 2, 1.
- Taco Bell! - El Pollo Loco!
- So we both thought fast food.
- Definitely.
That's what it feels like. - Okay.
- I'm not sitting down for that.
I mean, I am sitting down right now
but I'm not sitting down for that kind of queso.
- Uh-uh. - I'm only sitting down
for a six and up.
- You don't sit down at El Pollo Loco?
You stand? You stand and eat? - Never.
I've never been inside one.
- Oh, well they have a salsa bar. You should go inside.
- Really? - Oh yeah.
- Well, they can give you all the sauces from the salsa bar
in the drive-through. - Not the same.
(upbeat music)
- You know, we've got some really talented chefs
over on the "Mythical Kitchen".
- True. - But they're not
just talented chefs, they're talented just people
who like to talk to each other and to you.
They do that on a little thing called "Aprons Off".
Go check out the latest episode of "Aprons Off".
That's how they say it. I don't know why.
They told me to say it just like that.
"Aprons Off" - Off.
Did I do it right, Stevie?
- [Stevie] Yeah. You need that reinforcement.
Usually when we cut, I let you know
that you did something really good.
- Right, I need positive reinforcement.
- You did good. - I don't like
to be punished though.
- I'm just trying to remember what queso I haven't tasted.
- I don't- - Bring it in.
- I never do that. I end up double guessing.
- (snorts) Oh, oh, uh-huh.
(chips crunching)
Oh gosh, it got on my hand.
- Hmm. - I'm really trying to-
- Can I try it again? - Focus on the chip first.
It's a pretty good chip.
- Hmm. Okay.
- That's not a bad queso. It has bits.
Which brings it up a little bit.
- I'm still on a five with this one.
- I like it a little bit more.
I'd like to move my seven higher, honestly,
but I'm gonna give this a six.
- Oh...
- Where could this be?! - It's pretty gelatinous.
- Where could this be?
- Huh.
- I think I just realized,
I may have guessed the wrong...
I know I've guessed the wrong thing.
- Don't you think you know what Chipotle is?
Because when I've tasted it, I haven't liked it.
- It tastes like it has a... It's more distinct.
But I've learned enough doing this great job that we have-
- Yeah, when you're blindfolded-
- That you're an idiot when you're blindfolded.
- I know, it takes- - You know?
A taste idiot. - I might like Chipotle queso
with my blindfold on.
I'm trying to think, should I even guess that?
Okay.
- Okay, I think I'm-
- [Stevie] 3 2, 1.
- Del Taco. - Chipotle!
- I went back to Del Taco.
- I think that that was a Chipotle chip. I don't know!
(upbeat music)
- More cheese please.
- [Link] Uh-huh.
(chips crunching)
- Okay. - Not spicy though.
- Uh...
- Just creamy, peppery.
- Can I have more?
- Very corny in the chip. Give it a little slurp too.
- Ha!
- I'm so confused.
- This one has some of that nachoyness to it.
- Four. It's back down.
- Mm-hm. - It's four.
- I totally agree. I give this a four as well.
- Oh gosh, I'm so confused.
All right, I gotta guess.
- Oh shoot. (exclaims) Okay.
- [Stevie] 3, 2, 1.
- El Pollo Loco! - Qdoba!
Oh, you're doubling up
on your guess, huh? - I doubled up on two guesses.
- Okay.
(upbeat music)
- Yep.
- I just really don't think I've had Chipotle yet.
That's a thicker queso.
Nothing else in it though. - Is that a weird chip?
- I don't think it was a weird chip.
- I think it's weird. - The queso gets spicy.
It's very just nacho cheesy.
- I don't think it's nacho cheesy.
- Lemme taste it again.
- Let me some more. You don't think it's nacho cheesy?
(both slurping)
(Link mumbles)
- It's hard to do.
- Oh, it's bad by itself. - Yeah.
I don't think you should slurp case queso on its own, huh?
- Well, too late.
- You know a place that has really good queso
that it isn't on our list?
What's that Texas Taco place that we go to?
- Home State. - Home state?
- Home state got some good. Woo!
If you come out here,
if you can get your hands on a Home State, get the queso.
And you know what?
Order it loaded and they'll put meat in it.
- Oh my goodness. They can do that?
- Yes. - They'll do that?
- It's so good. Oh gosh, it's so good.
Home State is a great- - I don't even know
how feel about this- - Great little place.
- And when I went back to taste it by itself
it went down to a three, aye.
- Yep, we're totally on the same page.
- I thought I would like queso more than this.
- I'm giving this one a three as well.
(Rhett groans)
So where is this subpar...
All right. All right, fine.
- [Stevie] 3, 2, 1.
- Taco Bell. - Chipotle.
I gotta guess. You're probably right.
- It probably was faster. - It might be.
I'm sure I've already tasted Chipotle
and just didn't know it.
- We interrupt this episode of "Good Mythical Morning"
to show you a teaser trailer
for our new "Rhett & Link" video.
- It's unlike anything we've ever done before.
It's a short film mockumentary
and it comes out tomorrow on the "Rhett & Link" channel.
(ethereal music)
(ethereal music continues)
- How hard is it to find a diamond?
(Rhett chuckles)
(Link screams)
Welcome to our little adventure.
- You feel it? - Why? Why?
- Because this way you'll get your hams loose.
(dramatic sting)
(upbeat music)
- This is the last one? - Yes.
(chips crunching)
- Mm-hm. Big ol' chip.
Mm-hm.
- Okay.
- All right, gimme some more. - Can I have straight cheese?
- Yeah, you know the drill.
(both slurping)
- I'm sorry. It's so thick.
(crew laughing)
- It's pretty good. I'm gonna give this one a six.
- I was gonna give it six as well.
- I like it, but not as good as number seven, which again,
seven is now the new 10.
And then this one I think would've been an eight
in that world, but it's a six in this world.
Where is that from?
- I feel crazy first thinking this
but I think I have a guess.
- It's a little spicy. Okay.
- [Stevie] 3, 2, 1.
- Chipotle. - El Pollo Loco.
I don't know, I'm outta guesses.
Can I raise?
- [Stevie] Yeah, yeah. Take off your blindfolds.
How do you feel that you did?
- Horrible. - Not good at all
because I thought Chipotle was gonna be so obvious
and it never came around.
- [Stevie] Yeah, you guys weren't exuding
a lot of confidence, I'll say.
- Like usual.
- [Stevie] Yeah, yeah.
- We don't have a lot of cheese confidence.
- [Stevie] Okay, well, your second favorite queso
actually it was from El Pollo Loco.
- Really? - Yeah.
And your first favorite-
- Which was the last one, so I did get that.
- [Stevie] Yeah. Was Chili's, which was the first one.
- Okay, that makes sense. - The first one was good.
- They got great chips too.
- [Stevie] So Link, you got one correct.
- Just the last one I guess. What'd you get right?
(crew applauding)
(crew laughing)
♪ How many did I get ♪
(crew applauding, laughing)
- [Stevie] Rhett, you got one correct also.
(Link laughs) (crew applauding)
Which means we have two sexy little mice
and some actuallys to share in "Good Mythical More".
- Oh, we gotta share a sexy mouse outfit?
- Well, we only have one costume, but it has multiple pieces
so you can decide which parts of you
are gonna be sexy. - Don't be too sexy yet!
Save it for "More".
- I'm just practicing. - Save it for "More"!
- Congratulations, Chili's. You're the real winner today.
You and your chips that are great and your sources.
And I mean, your queso that's great.
