- Which onion ring will make our hearts sing?
- Let's talk about that.
(gentle, upbeat music)
Good Mythical Morning.
- Today, we're gonna be testing
our onion ring identification skills
and determining which drive-through windows
are tossing out the best.
I'm talking, onion ring toss.
- Oh, yeah, the ring toss.
I actually think I prefer an onion ring over a French fry,
ultimately, but it's tougher to find a good onion ring
than a good French fry.
So I order French fries more often the onion rings,
but I'm secretly hoping that I would be ordering onion rings
and the onion rings would be better than the French fries,
but they're not because it's typically better and easier
to find a French fry that's better than an onion ring.
- I agree.
Onion rings are a fun way to mix things up.
- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- Which one's the best one?
It's time for did you hear the phone go ding-a-ling-a-ling?
I think it's the universe asking us
to try these onion ring-a-ling-a-lings.
- Ring-a-ling-a-lings.
- We're gonna be testing onion rings
from six fast food restaurants and diners.
They are Jack in the Box.
- Carl's Jr.
- IHOP.
- Fatburger.
- Denny's.
- And Burger King.
We're gonna be competing.
You know one of those are diners?
Not Burger King.
- Di-hop.
- (laughing) We're gonna be competing to see
who can correctly match the most onion rings
to their respective restaurants and then scoring each one
on a scale of one to 10 to determine
the best by their combined score.
- Oh, that's how this works.
Whoever gets the most onion rings is gonna be named
the Lord of the Onion Ring because-
- We found a way.
- Even the smallest onion ring
can change the course of the future.
- Let's get started.
(gentle music)
- As you can see, we can't.
- Each and every onion ring will be brought to us
on the patent pending zooming onion.
- For real?
- (laughing) Vroom, vroom that sucker in here!
(Link mimicking an engine revving)
- Oh, oh, okay.
I see what's happening.
(Rhett stammering)
- That's a big ring.
- Did you go whole ring?
- I went half ring.
I'm eating like a cow.
I just let half of it just fall.
- Me, too, because mine's still about to fall.
Mine hasn't fallen yet.
A quarter of it fell.
- I'm tasting breading.
- [Rhett] Yeah.
- Not much onion.
Where's the onion?
Was there an onion in that one?
- It's so thin, my friend.
Just enough onion to capture that breading.
- Yeah.
- So somebody who's skipping on the onions.
- But not on the breading.
- They're skipping on the onions.
- But not on the breading.
- [Stevie] You ready to guess?
- No. - Yes.
- No, hold on.
- Now, you're the one who likes the onion rings,
but you don't, I don't know what you meant, man.
- I meant that a good onion ring is better than a good fry,
but it's harder to find a good onion ring.
- I heard you.
- So I end up getting French fries more
because it's easier to find a French fry
that's better than most onion rings.
- Okay.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Fatburger.
- Burger King.
- Why'd you just guess Burger King?
Because I don't know why I guessed Fatburger.
- Because it wasn't that great
and I don't think Burger King onion rings are that great,
but they're consistently around.
- (laughing) Okay, that's right.
Consistently-
- They're not like-
- [Stevie] But if you had to give it on a score
from one to 10.
- Yeah, I would probably give it a four.
- I didn't think it was great.
I'm gonna go all the way to a three.
- Not good, yeah.
You're right.
(gentle music)
- Bring them in!
- [Link] What?
Oh!
- Where's the wheel?
- That's a little one.
I got a small one.
You got a small one?
- It's such a small one.
It's not bad, though.
- Thick and small.
- Oh, they're still there?
What's there?
- I'm definitely tasted more onion in this one
than the last one.
Definitely liking it better.
- How do they get them all so small?
Do they use small onions or do they take bigger onions
and cut them and stitch them?
Well, no one would do that.
That would be crazy.
- I think an onion produces all size of rings.
- Every conceivable size of ring is within every onion.
- Yes.
- It's no bigger than the largest slice of an onion.
- Yes!
- Yes! - Yes!
- Yas.
- No, not yas.
Yes.
- Yes!
Okay.
This is, boy.
This feels like it could fit into a box.
You know what I'm saying?
- You're trying to throw me off?
(Rhett laughing)
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Denny's! - Jack in the Box!
- Denny's!
Why did you say Denny's?
- Because I think it tastes better
than what these fast food fairs are giving us.
This a diner taste.
That's why I'm giving this one a nice solid-
- [Both] Seven.
- Yes, that's what I'm giving it, as well.
I think it tasted good, but they weren't on the tires,
which makes me think they're all small,
which is the kind of thing they would do
for a fast food chain.
Denny's, man, they're using every part of the onion.
- You may be right.
(gentle music)
- You see these heat activated mugs sitting on the desk?
- Yeah, I see them.
Look at that.
Won't you just look at it?
- [Rhett] They are going away.
- What?
- This year, they're going away.
We're gonna bring in a new mug next year,
so if you wanna get one of these.
Where is it?
- Right here. - Right here.
If you wanna get one of these, you gotta get it now!
- Hot water.
- You gotta get it this year.
- Reveals the design and then it cools
and the design goes away. just like they will
at the end of the year.
- Mythical.com.
Onion rings, please.
- Drive it!
(Link mimicking an engine revving)
- These are different.
Oh, that's a honking big one.
- Now, we're talking.
- Okay.
- That's a big one!
- That's a big onion.
- And it's also wide.
It's got them racing tower profiles on it.
Big and wide.
Grip the ground.
- It feels like some TLC went into this onion ring.
You know what I mean by that?
- Yeah, we're not just pop them into the fryer
with a timer type thing.
- It feels like there was some thought that went into this.
- It's like sit down at the diner,
then pop them in with the timer.
- Wow, okay.
I don't know what that means, of course.
I don't know how that impacts any of my guesses.
- The batter has a very cake- y taste to it.
- It might be getting too cake-y.
- Yeah.
Something about the taste of the batter.
- I'm gonna give it a six.
- It's almost dessert-y.
Strange.
- I'm gonna give it a six.
There's a little sugar in that.
- I agree with that.
I'm giving it a six.
- Okay.
- [Stevie] Wanna guess?
- [Both] Yes.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Denny's! - IHOP.
See, it was either Denny's or IHOP.
- One of us is right. - Yeah, we know about that.
- One of us is wrong, but both of us are on the right track.
- That's correct.
(gentle music)
- Take that long drive down the short mouth hole.
- [Rhett] Okay.
- This is delicate.
- Oh, okay.
I'm going a full ring on this one.
- Woo!
- This is what I want in an onion ring!
- The onion is sweet, but the batter is-
- Who is doing onion rings this well around here?
- It's just propping it up.
Propping it up nice.
- This is what I remember about onion rings growing up.
My grandma would make them and it was about the onion.
It wasn't about the rings.
- Exactly.
This is the first time this has happened
and it makes me think that all of our scores
need to be brought down a notch or two because-
- Well, I'm gonna give this one a nine
just because I'm reserving the right
for something to be better.
But this is the best onion ring I've had today.
- I agree.
I'm also giving it a nine.
- Who's doing?
- [Stevie] How about a guess?
- Who's doing onion rings like this?
- [Stevie] Well, I'll give you three seconds
to answer that for yourself.
Three, two.
- Is that the three seconds that you're counting?
- [Stevie] (sighing) Yeah.
And now three more.
Three, two.
- Oh, you're adding three.
So that's six.
- [Stevie] And now three more. - Nine.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Denny's? - IHOP.
- See where the Denny's and IHOP switched.
- I believe in IHOP!
I'm not going with you.
- You think IHOP is better than Denny's.
- I went for, I'm going with the bust.
- I think Denny's makes it better than IHOP.
- Or the gold.
(gentle music)
- Okay, roll on in.
(Link kissing)
- That's a big one.
- It's thick!
It's thick and it's big.
- I'm gonna eat it, I'm gonna eat it.
I'm gonna eat it and try not to lose it.
I don't know how to get it back in my mouth.
- Why are you over here?
- I've got to go upside down.
Hold me up.
- What? - Hold me up.
I'm coming in.
I gotta slide down.
(crew laughing)
Oh, damnit!
- What are you doing?
Something hit my crotch.
Was that one of your teeth?
(crew laughing)
- Definitely one of my teeth hit your crotch.
- Did you lose a tooth in my crotch?
- Now I just have to make a decision
off of a third of an onion ring.
- Man, that was kind of big.
- It was pretty good, though.
It wasn't great, but.
- No.
- That was my second favorite one.
- I'll give it a six.
- I was gonna give it a seven and I've got a good,
what I think is an informed guess.
- I'm also gonna give it a seven
because I gave another one a seven
that should have been a five.
- Well, I don't understand-
- So officially, we're agreeing with seven.
- I'll explain later what I was trying to do.
- That's a big one, man.
- [Stevie] What about unofficially?
- Who is-
- Who's going that big?
- Bringing up big onions like that, but it's not.
We both ruled out the diners.
But you can double answer it.
- Yeah, there's no rule about that, right.
Okay.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Fatburger!
- Carl's Jr.! - Bring it!
You do not think that Carl's Jr. could pull that off.
- No, Carl's Jr. Does everything bigger.
Have you seen the commercials
where the burger drops onto the?
- Yeah, there's no way, man.
They're too scared.
Carl is frightened of a ring that big.
- Carl's Jr. is not afraid of anything,
based on what I've seen.
- What about Carl Sr.?
- Carl Sr., he was timid.
(gentle music)
- Hey,, Rhett.
- Yeah, oh!
- What was that noise?
- Something happened.
I think we had a crash.
I think we had an onion ring car crash.
- Do we need to call somebody?
- Pit crew.
- I heard something else.
(crew laughing)
- Just bring it in and let's see what happens.
- All right.
Bring it in, I guess.
Shoot, I'm not hearing anything on my side.
I think I'm good.
(Rhett stammering with mouth full)
- That brings back memories of round one,
when my lips weren't greasy and my tummy wasn't ringed up.
- They fried that real hard.
- That can be one again.
- That could be one again.
- The first one that came out.
- Yeah.
- Which now, I realize how bad that was
because I'm giving this one
what I should have given that one, which is a three at most.
- It's not good. They fried it a little too hard.
- Yeah.
- They disrespected the onion in a big way.
- Yeah, there may not be an onion in that one.
- Yeah, I don't know if I found onion.
Two.
- [Stevie] Okay. final guess.
Three, two, one.
- Burger King! - Burger King.
- What?
- Yeah, I went, too, with the King.
- Okay.
- And I left Jack in the Box into the dark.
- Okay, all right.
- [Stevie] All right, you can remove your blindfolds.
Give you your results.
- That was one of the harder things I've ever done.
- Yeah.
You know what? You made it, man.
You made it.
- What I was trying to do in that moment.
- Oh, look at this.
Does that look like Burger King?
- Here's exactly what happened.
I bit into it and it was like this
and I had no way to get it back in.
- [Link] It's like you had a third lip.
- And I had to go low and try to get upside down.
That's why I asked you to hold me up and then it fell off
and hit in your crotch like that.
- Oh, yeah.
(crew laughing)
Okay, all right.
- [Stevie] How do you feel you did?
- I felt going in that I would get zero right.
But now I have this level of confidence
that I got like, four of them.
- I don't feel great physically.
- [Stevie] Well, Rhett, you should have gone with your gut
because you indeed got zero correct!
(Rhett laughing)
- IHOP and Denny's.
That means I know I got those two
and then I know that I might've gotten Fatburger.
I might've got all of them.
- [Stevie] You might have, but you only got one correct.
- You only got one?
- [Stevie] But it does earn you the title
of Lord of the Onion Rings.
- You shouldn't accept that title, man.
- [Stevie] And your favorite onion ring
was actually from Fatburger.
- [Rhett] Fatburger does it right!
- [Link] What?
- [Rhett] I didn't know that!
- [Link] I knew it could be the dark horse!
- Listen, I don't know if I've even had those onion rings,
but they do them so nice.
Is this from Fatburger?
- I gotta go back to the Fatburger, man.
- They've really respected the onion
in a way that only a grandma can.
- Wow, and their burgers are pretty good, too.
- Pretty good.
- Tell that to Queen Latifah.
- Yeah, she owns many of them.
- Huh.
