- Is food best served on a work of art?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
Good mythical morning.
- I gotta admit, I don't like doing the dishes.
In fact, I hate doing the dishes so much
that sometimes I'll eat food out of a paper towel
or my hand or my favorite, straight out of the skillet
with my little fingies.
- I like dishes, but I do eat off of paper towels a lot
so that I don't create dishes.
- Yes.
- But since you're thinking outside of the plate,
and judging by the popular Reddit thread
We Want Plates and a whole bunch of other
bewildered foodies on the internet,
many restaurants seem to be on this same train
of hating to use regular old plates and bowls
so much so that they'd gone off the deep end
of serving food in shoes, mannequin hands,
and even tiny toilets, as we experienced
when we went to the toilet restaurant here in LA.
- Yeah, I remember that.
I don't know if it's still open.
I do remember it was appropriate
because if I recall correctly, the food tastes like crap.
(laughs)
It was not good.
It didn't look good and it didn't taste good.
- Well, speaking of toilets, the world is flush
with restaurants who refuse to do things the normal way.
And we're about to experience the best of the worst.
It's time for excuse me, waiter,
but it's my steak being served in the back of a Chihuahua?
I hoped it would be served on the back of Devon Sawa.
Who's Devin Sawa?
- [Stevie] Come on, '90s heartthrob,
on my walls as a teenager?
- Stevie, I didn't do '90s heartthrobs at any.
- [Stevie] Well, I didn't do them either.
- I didn't even have walls in the '90s.
- Tell them how it works.
- Okay, we're gonna be served a nearly identical recreation
of a restaurant dish served in an outlandish presentation.
- Outlandish.
- Outland dish.
- And guess if it is this got served,
meaning that it's real,
or if it was concocted by the Mythical Crew,
in which case we're gonna say.
- [Both] Y'all got some nerve.
- Which means that it's fake.
If we guess more than half of these correctly,
we win a round a fries
for the table to enjoy during "Good Mythical More."
- I mean, we're the only ones at the table.
- Let's eat. (upbeat music)
- Hello gentlemen, my name is Travor.
I'm gonna be taking care of you today.
- Hi Travor, you work here too, huh?
- Hello, yeah, I work here and I also moonlight
on Hollywood Boulevard is a George Michael impersonator.
- Oh, he's got a headband.
- First we've got ribeye thin sliced.
You're gonna strip it off and then place it in a hot pot.
- So we're gonna, we're gonna take the clothes off a Barbie?
- [Travor] Yeah. Yeah.
- Lady Gaga meat suit situation.
- If you have any questions, let me know and enjoy.
- This seems, this seems a little strange for us,
two middle-aged men to be doing, you know,
to be taking the clothes off a Barbie.
- I mean, she's still gonna be clothed.
I'm not gonna get her completely naked.
I mean, I think I can just take this off.
I mean, look at that.
She's still a decent, and I've got,
it looks like I've got some broth here.
- I don't go to a restaurant to all of the cooking.
I don't even do that at home.
So this is not gonna bring me to the yard.
You know what I'm saying?
- I'm not sure there's much cooking happening. (laughs)
- I don't, I don't think this is real,
because what could you say to bring people in the door?
How do they market it? I don't understand the angle.
- You've never seen stripper Barbie?
That's my favorite version of Barbie.
- But okay, so you're proving my point here.
That's not something a restaurant would say.
- I disagree that that's not something
a restaurant would say, but I also--
- But we have to agree.
- But I also think that I don't,
I think that this is probably fake,
but I think it could happen,
but I think it probably didn't happen.
- All right, Stevie we're saying.
- [Both] Y'all got some nerve.
- Doing this to Barbie.
We would never harm Barbie on this show.
- [Stevie] This dish is perfect for a romantic night out
or a drunken night out, I guess,
'cause it was actually created in 2018
as a Valentine's Day special for $45
by a restaurant called Niu Pot in Flushing, New York.
- They didn't think about the stripping part?
I'm offended.
- You're definitely thinking about the stripping part.
- I am offended that we lost this round.
- We have offended Link's moral sensibilities.
(upbeat music)
Where's that Travor?
- Hey, hey, he's back.
- No sudden movements here.
This is fried rattlesnake bites in a bed of grass.
Just kidding, it won't bite, but you guys should.
- Hey, I like Travor's style, man.
- I'm glad that he's serving us something different,
rattlesnake bites.
- Now the first time we ever had rattlesnake,
do you remember where it was?
- On a pizza.
- At?
- Waverley Place.
- It's called?
- Pie Works. Pie Works, man.
Stevie, did you have a Pie Works around?
- This is a big freakin' thing of rattlesnake.
- Yeah, I'm a little scared.
- I could see that on the menu.
- That's like the backbone of a snake.
I thought it was gonna be like just a big chicken tender.
It's just literally the spine.
- It's mostly bones.
- Look at that.
Oh just, oh. (groans)
- It doesn't taste bad though.
- Tastes like chicken though.
Rattlesnakes don't get in grass like that.
- [Link] This makes sense to me.
- They're in the desert.
It does make sense though.
- If you're gonna serve rattlesnake,
which some places do,
you need to go all the way with the presentation.
- It feels like it's too much about
the thing that's not food.
- It's putting the prepared food back
in its unprepared environment.
You think that's a bad idea?
- Making you think about where snakes come from
when you're trying to dissociate a little bit.
- I think it makes so much sense that it's made up.
- So we're gonna say.
- Y'all got some nerve.
- No, that would be,
oh, you think it's made up?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah, yeah, that's right, I agree.
- [Both] Y'all got some nerve.
- [Stevie] Yeah, you're right, we made it up,
and I haven't seen Craig in, in quite some time.
- Come on, Stevie.
- It's not Craig.
- Would you make that joke about a dog?
- [Stevie] Absolutely not.
- Yeah, right, 'cause it's not a reptile.
It has feelings.
- Craig is fine because I make sure to see him
whenever I walk by him so that he's not somewhere hiding.
(upbeat music)
- You see this back here.
This is not some just show piece.
No, that's an actual album with these two guys,
yours truly and yours truly on it.
We sang Lionel Richie, y'all.
Rhett and Link sing Lionel Richie.
We sang two songs.
The only way you can get this recreation
of some of Lionel's best songs,
at least one of them is really really good.
- From that album.
- Is to join the Mythical Society third degree
quarterly or annual plan by June 30th, okay.
Third degree annual or quarterly,
go over to MythicalSociety.com for details.
- Enjoy, super proud of that.
Travor, you call the waiter?
- Garcon!
- You ready for the next course?
- Of course.
- These are mini beef Wellingtons
served on a tiny guillotine.
And would you prefer that I be the executioner?
Or do you want to carry out the sentence yourself?
- I would love to do it. - Oh, wow.
- Does it, is this, does this work?
- No, it doesn't work at all.
I was just kidding. Enjoy.
- I mean that raises, and if I take the beef Wellington.
- Don't ruin both of them.
That's all I got to say,
'cause I'm very excited about beef Wellington.
- If I.
(guillotine thumps gently) (crew chuckles)
- [Rhett] Death by a thousand cuts.
- Death by a thousand cuts.
- [Rhett] Let's see if I can get a nice
cross section of this for us here.
- What does a guillotine have to do with beef Wellington?
- Like medieval.
Wow, look, that is not easy to do, ladies and gentlemen.
- Look at that.
- It's sorta like a big meat pie almost.
So it feels very old school.
- Oh my goodness, that is good.
It's an individual beef Wellington, mm,
that you can guillotine.
- Dang!
- If you just push down on that really hard.
- I gotta have another bite of that.
I definitely think this is a real thing.
Don't you think this is real?
- I hope this is real.
Yeah, this is, this is real.
- [Both] This got served.
(laughing)
- The unison is just, I had a vision. Stevie.
- [Stevie] Yeah, it's real.
- It's great too.
- [Stevie] This hard to wrap your head around meal
was shared online by OfficeDragon1980,
don't know if you know him, who says they were served this
at the Platinum in Montego Bay.
- Yeah, but apparently, okay, I guess it doesn't work.
It's more just a prop.
But as you demonstrated, if you force it, it does work.
- Yeah, they come out of the kitchen like Travor,
no, no, no! (upbeat music)
- All right, next up we've got a Turkish doner kebab
with lamb, which is usually served like a sandwich
on lavash bread, but today it's an a tiki glass.
- Did you say doner?
- Yes.
- Doner kebab.
- Who donated the kebabs?
- D-O-N-E-R.
- How do you eat this, Travor?
- Uh, however you like.
- With a fork? You like diggy down in?
- [Travor] Yeah, sure, that seems right.
♪ Diggy diggy diggy, can't you eat ♪
- You've eaten a lot of food. I trust you guys, enjoy.
- I guess, I guess technically the animal
that provided the meat is a donor of sorts.
- This is a bit, this is.
- [Rhett] You have to go through everything
to get to the stuff you want.
- So I don't, I don't like the logistics of this.
- No.
- Does that, does that mean someone didn't try it?
- I don't think is practical at all.
I think this was a cute idea that someone here came up with.
- I'll go with you on this one.
- So we're saying.
- [Both] Y'all got some nerve.
- [Stevie] Ha, not true, got you,
because they actually do serve this
at Relax Kebab in Poland.
On their Facebook page, it also looks like they make
stacked kebab Christmas trees,
but you know, it was a lot easier for us to do this.
- Good gosh.
- Relax, kebab. (laughs) Come on.
You guys are taking it way too seriously.
(upbeat music)
- Did someone order a plumber?
No, I'm kidding. I'm just a George Michael impersonator,
but here's some onion rings on an old metal pipe.
- Wow, I mean, there is something about having a waiter
like Travor who just has, he's got charisma.
- It's the earring. I just noticed that.
That, that really.
- I feel like we're friends here.
- That really sets it off.
- Are you the kind of a waiter that like
sits in the booth with you?
- I'd love to, but there's not a chair here.
I mean, we hung out twice, I know where both of you live.
I know the last four digits of your socials.
We're buddies, you know, we're friends.
- [Link] That's a big onion ring.
- That's a tasty onion ring.
- And onion rings are just begging
to be draped on something.
I have to believe this is being done on all types of things.
I've seen, I've seen volcano stacks.
Now I've seen hanging versions.
- Here's why I don't think this is valid.
Onion rings being together in a basket
keeps the heat together, and when you bring them up
and there's this much air flow, it cools them down.
- What if it's a radiator pipe?
- [Rhett] It's not, it's just a regular pipe.
- Yeah.
- So I think that this isn't as practical as it could be.
You want these to be hot.
- Just because it's not a good idea
doesn't mean that a dumb restaurant doesn't do it.
I just don't.
- But you can have a bunch of people coming back
and saying on your rings are cold.
My onion rings are cold, my onion rings are cold.
My onion rings are cold.
- So a restaurant may have done this like for a week,
but then they would say that you got served.
All right, Rhett, I'll go with you.
- [Both] Y'all got some nerve.
- 'Cause they're cold.
- [Stevie] These onion rings served on a metal pipe
were created by Mythical Chef Josh's
mortal enemy Gordon Ramsey at his restaurant,
Maze Grill in London.
(buzzer buzzes) - No!
Well we already know that Gordon.
- [Link] See, man?
- Gordon's made, he's making--
- I told you, they're begging.
- Gordon's making mistakes left and right.
He's making culinary mistakes left and right.
And as Josh is pointing out,
did you see that grilled cheese?
- But Rhett.
- Did you see that grilled cheese?
- Rhett, you made a mistake and I went along with it.
- Yeah. Okay.
We can't, we don't get our fries now,
but at least we got onion rings.
(upbeat music)
- So we have some sandwiches here and--
- Howdy partners, you ready for some barbecue on the bayou?
What's a little pulled pork sandwich
without a little fire in the hole sauce?
Just say when.
(squirting)
- [Link] Aim at the, aim at the sandwich.
- [Travor] You good?
- Not at my crotch.
- Travor, could you hit me one more time?
I'm gonna leave.
It's hard to dual wield them sometimes.
- [Link] Good gosh.
- [Rhett] Oh gosh, only a little bit on the chair.
- Okay, okay, I'm good.
- [Travor] Are you good? No casualties?
All right, enjoy.
- Just a little bit on the chair.
- That's hot sauce too, not barbecue sauce.
- Now, of course, in order to determine
if this is a real thing, we have to eat some of it.
Right? Is that how this works?
- Now that was fun,
but you got sauce slinging everywhere.
I mean, if you're at, if you're at a place where
like you're already wearing like a hazmat suit,
this may work, but like, boy,
we got a lot of cleaning up to do that you can't see.
- Look at that right there.
- I know, man.
It's starting to dry.
I think that's gonna be permanent.
- Morgan Morgan is not gonna be happy about this.
- I think it makes it taste better though.
- Well, yeah, the fun.
The fun was injected into this.
I mean, I feel like it tastes fun.
You've even got barbecue or hot sauce on your glasses.
- Seriously?
- Yeah, on your glasses.
- I think this is real.
And you're gonna have to go with me on this,
because you've been wrong too many times.
- Hey, you were wrong in the first round.
- So we're saying.
- [Both] This got served.
- You agree anyway.
- [Stevie] Fire in the hole sauce
served by crocodile water pistol is really dangerous
for the eyeballs, but also it's fake.
We made it up, ha ha.
(buzzer buzzes) - Oh, I'm sorry Rhett.
Dang it.
- Yeah. It's too messy.
- You didn't win the round the fries, sadly.
- No round of fries.
- But I could just sit back here and I'll eat them.
- Oh, is that what's happening?
- Okay. Well I'm actually--
- A big round of fries.
- I'm actually a little bit happy about that.
- A tire full of fries.
- He makes everything seem fun.
- Everything is fun.
- Makes everything seem enjoyable.
- Everything is fun when you're
a George Michael impersonator on Hollywood Boulevard.
- Right, we get it.
- We'll see you there tonight, man.
- [Travor] Okay.
