Please welcome back to our show Oz Pearlman!
Thank you!
(audience claps)
Why don't we try something now,
so you get a taste for what I do?
Yeah!
All right, take it away. Let's do it, let's do it.
So my wife, one of her favorite cooking shows,
one of the ones where they pick
all the ingredients,
they give you a bunch of crazy ingredients
and you have to MacGyver them
and put them all together.
Right.
And I always watch that and I'm blown away
by creativity and ingenuity.
I brought something here,
it's an envelope,
Rachel I want you to see there's something inside,
I'm not gonna show everyone yet.
I'm gonna seal it up.
And you don't know what I'm about to do, do you?
No.
You have no idea.
Look at her,
look she's like I don't wanna know.
(Rachael laughs)
We're gonna tape this bad boy shut,
from the top, from the bottom,
it's not pretty,
and I didn't bring scissors.
I'll use my teeth, good enough.
That's sanitary.
Good enough.
Anything, anything.
We'll get some.
Rachael, you had no idea it was gonna happen.
Nothing set up.
Promise me.
Promise them.
Hand this to anybody out in the crowd,
and a marker, anyone.
Anyone you want.
Who wants to be on the Rachael Ray show?
(audience cheers)
I like your style.
Please stand up, if you'd be so kind,
and tell us all your name.
Janelle.
Janelle, what I want you to do,
we need the meat and potatoes of a recipe,
they always give you a bunch of ingredients,
but you need something with sustenance.
So tell us either a protein or a grain.
Don't let me influence you.
Could be meat, could be vegetarian,
could be something delicious.
What meat or grain,
weird or normal, give us something now, say it.
Lamb.
Delicious.
I love it. Do me a favor,
somewhere on that envelope, write lamb.
Write lamb pretty big.
On some big corner.
And then Janelle,
walk over, spread the love.
You don't wanna eat the lamb by yourself.
We need a new friend.
Go to somebody you've never met before,
you've never spoken a word to,
but somehow their eyes are capturing you.
(audience laughs)
She was like, stay away from me!
And stand up please, and tell us your name.
Cindy.
Let's hear it for Cindy!
(audience claps)
Think, we need something to go with it,
we need health components.
Rachael Ray makes a complete meal.
Give us either a fruit or a vegetable.
Vegetable or a fruit, anything.
Think color, think,
say it, no, say it out loud.
Broccoli raab.
Broccoli raab. R-A-A-B.
Broccoli raab, delicious.
Write broccoli raab somewhere on there.
Now this is coming together nicely.
(audience laughs)
But right now--
I'd eat it.
I'd eat it, too.
Broccoli raab.
Close the marker.
Walk up to somebody else.
Aw.
Look at this, sweethearts.
What's your name, sir?
Dano.
Dano?
Name a spice, an herb, or a sauce.
Cilantro.
I'm lovin' it.
Write cilantro somewhere big on that envelope.
Rachael, if you'd be so kind,
grab that envelope.
I'm grabbing your husband's package.
Broccoli raab, lamb, cilantro,
we got everything.
Let's put this,
here's what I want you to do.
I need branding.
We need some sort of name for this.
So Rachael, I think they put a pen and some paper,
I want you to write down a name,
now don't just write
lamb with broccoli raab and cilantro,
we need,
give us like two or three words,
some name that's gonna amaze the country.
Media food empire, she can do it.
I know it.
Something weird or unusual,
don't just write lamb broccoli.
Take the note, and what I want you to do,
is crush it into a ball.
Oh, happily.
Is the name of the recipe you just came up with
in any of these books?
Definitely not. No.
Put it on top.
I don't even wanna touch the note.
Put that right on there.
The anticipation,
oh I don't wanna touch.
It's been killin' me.
Okay.
Grab those scissors, please.
And let's do a little bit
of slicing and dicing.
Cut it.
Along the side?
I don't care.
This way?
It's one-time use.
I don't know where the thing is.
It's kind of hard to know,
and I don't wanna touch this,
if you could reach inside, grab it.
Hold it right there, hold it right there.
I'm gonna pull this all out.
Turn it over so everybody can see.
There is an envelope that's taped.
Is that taped on there?
Yes.
I never wanna touch.
Can you please lift it up,
and reach inside and there should be
a piece of paper inside of there.
Which I wrote down on,
three ingredients.
Could you read them one at a time
and show everybody.
What are they?
You don't know how to spell broccoli raab, but
lamb, broccoli raab and cilantro!
(audience cheers loudly)
Imagine that piece of paper.
Take one step back with me right here.
And imagine if I looked at it
and I could focus all my energy right on it.
I don't wanna touch it,
I never touched it.
What if I could focus right there
and think of that name,
think of that name.
Right, bang.
(glass breaks)
Lambilicious Surprise.
Yes.
It was Lambilicious Surprise.
(audience cheers)
Thank you very much!
