- And speaking of safety,
there is no safer bet
than the greatest Thanksgiving side dish of all time,
which is?
- Mashed potatoes and gravy.
- Or is there?
Today we aim to discover
if gravy has a super slippery substitution.
It's time for Next Best Thing,
mashed potatoes and gravy edition.
Before us we have mashed potatoes
and we are slathering it with normal gravy
and now we are tasting that in order to be reminded,
but how difficult it's gonna be to find something
that's the next best thing.
- 'Cause that is exactly what we're going to do.
Things that you wouldn't even expect.
- Salsas I don't know, let's just get to it.
'Cause this is good.
Maybe we'll find something better than this.
- I don't think this can be beat, but you know what?
I'm open.
(energetic piano music)
All right, we're going to start out.
Just winging it with some Buffalo sauce.
Now I've got my expectations,
high expectations for this cause it's salty.
It's got some of that sort of savoryness that gravy has.
It has a similar consistency.
There's a lot of butter, in a good Buffalo sauce.
- And it's a nice color compliment to the, mashed potatoes.
Whoa!
- Man that's good.
I love putting Buffalo sauce on stuff.
- Now the one thing,
- I like that, its holding me back a little bit.
- It's good.
You don't want to get a mouthful of just the Buffalo sauce
'cause--
- You went a little too aggressive.
- That's a little, yeah.
Well, I went on the edge of it.
You want to, it's like, you're going to the pond
to go fishing and you might get your toes wet,
but you don't want it.
You don't, you're not going to swimming, you're going fish.
- I'm gonna wear my big boots when I go.
- Oh, you got a waiter.
- Yeah I might go in a little bit,
but my feet won't even know it.
Listen to this.
I think that this would be great
if you mixed it completely into the taters
so that you got the perfect amount.
- You told me like that.
I can do that.
- But I, well, I mean, you can do it right now.
What I'm saying is, is I would do less Buffalo sauce
than that so that you get a little tang
in every single bite
but this is really, really good.
Obviously it's going on the podium.
- That's gonna be hard to beat
and it made me gleek in my own mouth.
(energetic piano music)
Lets try some Green Enchilada Sauce.
We got it right here in this can mythical branding.
Look at that.
- I didn't know we'll were gonna go with this.
I got to say, I didn't know what was gonna happen.
- 'Cause--
- But this looks like gravy again.
It's got your, you're in the gravy family.
- Are you a Red Enchilada Sauce man
or a Green Enchilada Sauce man.
- I'm a mole man.
- Oh, you are?
- But I do all three.
- I'm a, I'm a green sauce, man.
- I like it too, man.
There's something about that.
- Ooh, that is, that is settle.
- Comforting.
- I gotta say, I really liked the Buffalo sauce,
but it's not gonna be for everybody.
Oh, this is something, every breakout in there like
what is that?
What kind of gravy is that?
- And you're like--
- It's not gravy.
Its green enchilada sauce.
What?
- And look, I can, I can almost go full enchilada sauce.
- You could go full enchilada sauce.
- To that sometimes I'll do that with Greg.
- Go full enchilada sauce and tell me what happens.
- Fun times.
- All right.
We've got, we've dethrone, Buffalo that quickly.
- Oh I, and I didn't think that would happen.
- I didn't think it would happen either.
logistically this is a beat
but then I met green enchilada sauce.
- This the next best thing so far.
We're not done.
(energetic piano music)
- Okay we're gonna take a step off of the savory train
into the sweet, sweet tracks of hot fudge.
- Ooh can you make yourself gleek?
- Nope.
- I can't either.
My daughter she's, she's strange.
- She can do it.
- Yeah she can make herself gleek.
She make her eyes go in different directions,
like a clown from it.
She's, she's weird.
- I'm gonna do what I've been doing.
- You've been doing that.
- It's funny because you're such a mixer.
You're like the mix man.
- I like to have control over.
- I've got plenty of control over here.
- See, in like, even if you, even if you get nothing,
but potatoes,
then you're gonna dip it down in the middle of that,
that lava look at that.
- I'll let you have your fun over there,
but then see what conclusion you come to
and see if you're right or wrong.
'Cause that is not good my friend.
- Well, there's nothing--
- It tastes like it's about to be good
and then you realize that it's potatoes.
- There's nothing bad about it,
but there's nothing good about it.
- There is something bad about it.
Think about the way it would mix with ice cream, Right
and then think about, and this is like--
- And this is not chocolate syrup
this is hot fudge.
- Mashed potatoes aren't they just like hot ice cream?
No, they're not, the furthest thing from it.
There's something that happens with the potato taste
that doesn't and I told you a second ago,
I was a mole man
and I don't know if you know - I know.
- But a mole man is a chocolate man,
and this is not good on the potatoes.
- Add some enchilada sauce to that to make Mole.
That's how, that's how it works.
Do it, come on, give it a shot.
- I just looked at Nicole and she's shaking her head.
Give it a shot.
- Why don't you give it a shot?
- 'Cause I don't like it, but you might.
This is mole.
We just made mole.
- Is this mole?
- [voice] No you didn't.
- Nicole said we did not make it.
- We just made history.
- I'll tell you what you did dude,
you made it better than it was when it was just hot fudge.
- Really, does it, 'cause this mole.
You're a mole man.
- Yeah look at you.
Oh, why do you gotta be so aggressive with you boat?
- Why don't you have to be so critical with how I do things?
- I'm not going boating with you ever again.
You know those flotillas that were parts of out on the Lake.
- Not bad.
- It's better.
Isn't it?
- It is better.
- It is better, but it's not better than just straight up.
- This is still the best
but I'm just gonna tell you,
do you want hot fudge on your potatoes Just call me.
I'll be up.
(energetic piano music)
Next is the food combo
not even Andy Warhol would have dreamed up.
We're talking mashed taters and tomato soup.
- Wow!
- Now, before you pour that.
- I'm waiting.
- I just wanna take a minute.
- Take a minute.
- To give a shout out to the tater crater.
You know that, that little hollowed out dollop
this just begging for gravy
or whatever the next best thing is.
- Do you know I recently taught my,
it was a moment of pride for me.
I recently taught my son shepherd about the tater crater.
- Seriously, you called it a tater crater.
I thought I kind of just invented.
- I didn't call it a tater crater.
- You said name.
- I just said, you gotta make a place for your gravy,
but then you're mixing.
- The reason I'm mixing this is because I wanna,
I wanna give it the best chance.
I don't want it to overpower.
I want to be able to get to some sort of consistency.
I know how gravy works on mashed potatoes. Mr. Particular,
over there,
getting mad about somebody else being particular.
- Nicole you're a good tater crater maker.
- [voice] Thank you.
- Shout out to you.
Look at you.
- I don't know about this.
- Now is this a tomato soup or is this pasta sauce?
- That's not the two things.
It's pasta sauce or pizza sauce.
Tomato, tomato soup is a completely different thing.
- Okay you like it, like, like it, like it, like it.
All right.
- Okay.
- Looks like ketchup.
- If you told me that someone in another country did this
as a normal thing, I would not be surprised.
Can I just go over there for a second.
- If you told me that someone in another country
did this thing, I would not visit.
You know, what would be better,
spaghetti sauce will be better than tomato soup I think.
- It's definitely not in the run for the winner,
but it's way better than hot fudge.
- If it were like, I like a really,
really chunky spaghetti sauce and you know what I'm saying
and if you, if you put that in the middle of this
you're then you're just replacing spaghetti.
That's what we should have done.
We blew it.
We freaking blew it guys.
- Let's do it over.
- That could have been the next best thing.
- Redo.
- Do you think that a real chunky, chunky, chunky
could, could knock off the E sauce?
- With meat in it?
- Yeah.
- That would be excellent.
- Oh yeah.
So we'll, we'll take that into consideration,
but this right here is not doing it.
(energetic piano music)
- Ranch.
- You know, here's the thing, a lot of mashed potatoes,
including my wife's, have sour cream in it already,
which I know is not ranch,
but it seems like it's in the same family
so this kind of feels like it could be complimentary
and you might, you wouldn't even know it was in there
unless you were Lincoln, you went so aggressive.
- If you heat up ranch, does it compromise it?
- [Voice] It separates.
- Yeah, correct.
That's a demerit right there
'cause I'm a little afraid about how cold it is.
The ranch is so overpowering.
I mean, especially with the way
that you completely overflowed your crater.
- I'm just, again, I'm using the crater as my dipping spot.
Wow!
- I mean, I went way less than you did.
In fact, I'm gonna get I'm just, just a little bit
and just barely dip.
- I'm just touching it.
- Its not, it's not bad in very small quantities.
- You know what?
The problem is--
- Very small quantity.
- The thing that makes it a non-starter is that
you can't heat it up.
- Can't be cold
but I would say that I think you can put a dash.
What I would do, maybe this is a secret.
What do you think about this Nicole?
You put a dash of ranch powder in your taters
and you don't tell anybody
and people are like what?
- [Voice] It's a good idea Hos.
- Its a good idea see.
She is not just saying that she calls me Hos.
She calls me Hos.
- That's a good idea.
There's a good idea.
Okay.
- I'm gonna tweet that as my own later.
- It didn't really work, but nice try.
(energetic piano music)
- And its (mumbles) day the state of Idaho made a baby.
First of all, I wouldn't watch.
Second of all, this is what it would be like
teriyaki sauce on mashed potatoes.
- Now this particular teriyaki sauce I will say,
is sponsored by, our high school rap group Baste and Glaze.
I was baste, he was glaze.
- All right.
So this is some thickness here.
- Baste and Glaze are performing at the party.
- Whoa it is so tea.
- I don't think I can mix this.
I think this one is, I think this one's got too much power.
I'm going just for the little touch.
A little touch on the edge there.
- Oh, well.
- That's got a bang in your mouth.
- Man I mean, I feel like I could just use a drop.
- You could literally just have a dropper.
You could, you could, you could sell
a Baste and Glaze dropper?
- And it shaped like a microphone, a little microphone.
- Why?
- 'Cause of our group.
- 'Cause of our group?
- And then you drop the mic.
- Drop the mic.
- You drop the--
- I like that.
Now you're onto something.
- We just made--
- Drop the mic sauce.
- We just made something.
- That's, that's, that's good.
I'm looking around.
- Drop the mike sauce.
- Anybody?
- That's from a guy named Mike though.
- Drop the mic.
- This is horrible.
(energetic piano music)
Violent, nacho cheese.
Have you ever put it on anything and not enjoyed it?
- I'm not gonna answer that
because I don't want to make anyone angry.
- Now putting cheese on mashed potatoes
already, something that some people do.
I went to a party one time
and they had a mashed potato bar and they had cheese.
Of course they did
but was it nacho cheese?
No, it was..
- Nacho business.
- There's something about the flavor profile
of a nacho cheese that is competing with the whole,
but it's a little bit of spice.
I liked that.
- Yeah.
- But the congealed nature of it
makes it not gravy enough.
- I, yeah, I'm, I'm searching for something positive,
like a counterpoint,
but everything you're saying is spot on my friend.
- It's not hot fudge.
I think the thickness of it.
- It works against it.
- It's it's, it's so thick.
It's even thicker than the potatoes
but I think this right here.
- It's a revelation.
- But maybe mixing these two together
might be a little something to try on.
- Something that we're testing until now.
- Why have the next best thing
when you can have the next best thing
and the next best thing, you know what I'm saying?
So here we go to the next best.
- That's really good, but you know why It's really good
'cause a green enchilada sauce.
Green enchilada sauce it will change your mashed potatoes.
- If you're, if you're a person don't forget to credit us.
- who doesn't like mashed potatoes?
(crosstalk)
- In conversation when you eating it.
- Put some green enchilada sauce on there
and change your life.
- Ladies and gentlemen, forget the gravy for once
the next best thing sitting right here on your shelf
is green enchilada sauce.
- Green enchilada sauce.
