- Today we ask the age old question.
- Will it Big Mac?
- Let's talk about that.
(warm synth music)
- Good Mythical Morning!
- And we're back for summer!
We only took a week off, but we missed you
and we just could not wait to jump into our summer season!
- Yes, now we're gonna be doing things
a little bit different this summer
because usually we just do three times a week
and one of those days is guest hosted,
but not this summer, this year has been upside down
and crazy that we wanna give you a normal summer,
if that could be called a thing.
We're comin' at you five times a week
and we're gonna be right here
at this desk every single time.
- Rhett, can we agree that the Big Mac
is one of the greatest food creations of all time?
- I would agree with that.
And also, Little Mac is one of the best
video game protagonists of all time.
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, original NES.
- Okay, okay.
The Big Mac, it's a classic.
Since it was introduced in 1968,
the recipe for the Big Mac has gone virtually unchanged,
which means it's practically begging for us
to hack that Mac and apply it to other dishes.
It's time for-
- [Rhett And Link] Will It Big Mac?
- Okay, so today, we are keeping the stacked format
of a Big Mac, but we are getting experimental
with the ingredients to see how far
the Big Mac format is willing to go.
- Yeah, and to start things off,
we got something cheesy that we hope goes down easy.
Who said you can't have your cake burger and eat it too?
Introducing the Big Mac and cheesecake!
- Whoa, ho ho!
- AKA the Big Cheesy.
Josh, what did you do?
- [Josh] Yeah, we're startin' off
a little funky here, fellas.
- Oh, we're gettin' funky.
- [Josh] So we took the buns
and we coated them in graham cracker crumbs,
we we infused the beef and the cheese
with just straight cheesecake.
We've done sweet pickles,
some graham cracker coated and fried onions,
and I hope that's it.
(laughing)
- But it's still a burger.
- [Josh] It is still a burger,
there is about a 60/40 beef-to-cheesecake ratio
in that meat.
- Beef-to-cheesecake ratio is something
I never thought I'd hear.
- [Link] I mean, squint your eyes.
- [Rhett] But I'm happy.
- And you just see a Big Mac.
- [Josh] Sorry, strawberry special sauce.
- [Rhett] Oh, strawberry special sauce.
- [Link] Oh yeah.
- I mean, the strawberry special sauce is gettin' on me.
- It's goin' everywhere.
Dink it. - Dink it.
- Summer dink it.
And oh, we gotta do a, oh.
- Well, it's gonna get messy, I apologize.
- I'm tastin' a lot of cheesecake.
- Now listen, Josh, I respect this.
And I thought that I was just gonna try to be nice.
- Sounds like he's about to say he doesn't like it.
- 'Cause sometimes, I'll be honest with you,
sometimes I'm just tryin' to be nice.
But I don't think I just have to be nice,
I gotta be honest, this is good.
I don't how, I like cheesecake, I like beef,
I didn't think that it would be, but it does.
- I mean, there's a sweetness.
I mean, it definitely has a dessert vibe
and it plays tricks on your mind,
but if you really want it
and you're goin' in for it-
- Yeah. - It delivers.
- Okay, so, cheesecake, will it Big Mac?
- Yes! (ding) - Yes!
- Thanks to Mythical chef Josh and his terrifying mind,
Doritos have been infused a bunch of dishes
here at GMM over the years.
So much so that our stomachs are probably orange-
- Yeah. - At this point.
- That's good. - But we've never
infused Doritos into a Big Mac.
So, without further ado, we bring out the Doritos Big Mac,
AKA the Big Snack!
Look at this- - All right, Josh,
help us understand what is happening.
- Orange behemoth. - My high school
guidance counselor said I a terrifying mind too.
So what I've done is I took the Tapatio Doritos,
a personal favorite, and I've crusted the buns in that.
I infused the actual patties with cool ranch Doritos,
there are sweet chili crusted onions,
there Doritos flamas crusted pickles
and a spicy nacho special sauce.
(laughing) Oh, with a nacho cheese
infused cheese, 'cause why not?
- I mean, all I can smell is like a bag of Doritos.
- So, there's like-
- And there probably is a full bag's worth of Doritos
in this one burger.
- [Rhett] There's at least five flavors of Doritos in this.
- [Josh] That is correct.
- You know, there are moments in my life
when I wish I had a big mouth.
This is one of 'em.
(groaning)
I did it. (mmhmms)
I succeeded.
Well.
(mming)
The fact that you've infused-
- It's a bit dry!
- That much, I was gonna say that.
The Dorito crumbs inside the beef,
the Dorito crumbs on the outside of the bun,
there is sort of a sand-like quality.
- Oh, it's hard to swallow, it's great to taste.
- It kinda gets caught on the inside of your mouth
and on the inside of your throat.
But you know what?
That's what the sauce is for.
- And you know what?
It's not like you can't drink a little bit.
- I mean, you could drink, yeah, just drink water!
- Taste is great, but I don't know,
we have to decide if we can get over
the desert-like eating experience.
- I love the taste, though.
This is a tough one, because-
- If I just isolate the beef, that cool ranch beef.
That's weird, but good.
And I think at the store, you know,
people would be pickin' it apart
just be in awe of every single layer.
- The store?
- Yeah, at the McDonald's store.
(laughing)
- Ah, you've done that before, you've called it a store.
- Let's go to the store, the McDonald's store.
- Man, the idea is so perfect and the execution is great.
I think I can overcome, honestly,
I think I can overcome the grittiness.
- And you know how you do that?
Just keep drinkin'.
- [Rhett] Right, Doritos, will it Big Mac?
- [Rhett And Link] Yes! (ding)
- You want Rhett's shirt?
I do too.
I'm gonna go to Mythical.com to get in the summer spirit.
Join me. - Oh, I'll give you this one.
You know what?
I'll give you the shirt off my back.
- I'll get my own.
- It might be a little big,
but if you wanna wear it, just tell me, just ask me.
- Good lookin' shirt.
- Okay, you can have breakfast for dinner.
Yeah, we've all done that,
but what about dinner for breakfast?
We have got the holy grail of breakfast meals,
a Grand Slam from Denny's,
introducing the McDenny's Big Slam, yes!
- And somehow, it's gotten even bigger.
(laughs)
Look how tall this thing is.
- What is the purple stuff happenin' here?
- [Josh] So the purple stuff
is a blueberry-infused special sauce
and then we have sesame pancake buns,
we have maple beef breakfast sausage,
we have actually cooked the lettuce into a thin omelet,
we cooked the onions into a thin patty of hash browns.
And then we've actually made
a savory cheese pancake underneath.
- Oh, wow, this has got sausage in it?
- Cheese pancake?
- [Josh] Yeah, cheese pancake.
- Now, listen, I've been stretchin' my little mouth-
- [Link] There's the cheese pancake.
- [Rhett] I'm afraid I may have met my match, y'all.
- Now, I'm a little concerned about this-
- [Rhett] Lettuce omelet? (laughing)
- [Link] Yeah, but-
- Well lettuce try it and see what we think about it.
- Oh gosh, how- - Dink it.
- How are we going to- - I don't know,
I feel like I should take half of it, but-
I can't do it, holy cow!
(grunting)
(mms)
- Blueberries and pickles.
(laughing)
- [Josh] Oh, those are the bacon fat pickles, sorry.
- [Rhett] There's so much happening right now.
- Imagine takin' five McGriddles,
stackin' them vertically,
but then doing a bunch of twisted stuff to 'em.
That's what happened here.
- But I really like what just happened in my mouth.
- I mean, who knew that eating a Big Mac
could be like a weightlifting competition?
Is he gonna break his back?
Is his jaw gonna just not go back?
- I really like this.
- The only thing I need to pass on is the pickles,
that's throwing me, pickles for breakfast.
I don't know, help me out here,
but other than that, this is workin'.
- But that blueberry on that sausage?
I'm startin' to get my hair in my mouth when I start to eat.
- That's a good idea.
- It is a struggle.
So, Denny's breakfast, will it Big Mac?
- [Rhett And Link] Yes! (ding)
- Sorry, I had to clean things up,
it was gettin' out of control.
- There's been many times when I've gotten Chinese takeout
and wished I would've just gotten a Big Mac.
But now we're wishing I would've gotten Chinese takeout
that is a Big Mac.
Introducing the Big Mac Takeout, AKA the McTakeout.
- [Rhett] Wish no more!
- [Link] Look at this.
- Wish in one hand and crap in the other
and see what Josh does!
Is that the saying?
- [Josh] Is that our business model?
- Are these wonton buns?
- [Josh] Yes, I actually wrapped the buns
in wontons inside them. - Oh no.
- [Josh] We have a beef and broccoli patty
glazed in oyster status, kung pao cheese,
sweet and sour special sauce-
- Kung pao cheese?
- [Josh] Kung pao cheese.
Long sauce mayonnaise onions and soy sauce pickles.
- So I see the broccoli peekin' out.
- [Josh] That's actually been chopped
and infused into the patty itself,
so there's broccoli running throughout.
- [Rhett] Why is the pickles black?
- [Josh] Soy sauce marinade.
- Got it.
- Okay, I'm gonna do a nice, ooh.
- [Josh] And one of you has a paper fortune
inside the beef patty.
That's not true, sorry. (laughing)
- Well, it could've been.
- [Josh] I wish it was.
- I think that you did the right thing
by squishin' it down.
- I mean, I squished it and nothing happened.
I put like all of my force.
- Here we go.
- That is a good lookin' burger.
I mean, you're gettin' hungry, aren't you?
You wish you were me.
Or him, what?
- I'm eating it.
(groaning)
Oh man.
- That greasy wonton smacks you in the mouth.
- Whoa!
And that's definitely the first thing that hits you.
- That special sauce comes gushin' afterward.
- Man, it kinda unravels in your mouth.
(mmhmms)
It's like a story is being told.
- Yeah, I really enjoy the crunch of this wonton,
I mean, you nailed that.
- It's really, really good.
I do believe that if I were to finish it,
that I would probably exceed my sodium intake for the week.
Based on what that bite just did to my mouth.
But it's all workin' together,
and even the broccoli, there was a little hint of broccoli
and I'm not complainin' about it.
- [Link] Chinese food, will it Big Mac?
- [Rhett And Link] Yes! (ding)
- Now, if you ever thought that fast food was just too fast,
well, we got just the thing for you
because it's one of the slowest creatures on the planet
and it's our newest Big Mac creation, the Big Snail.
- And we're almost whispering about it.
- That's right. (laughing)
- Hey, wake up, man, (slapping)
we're in rarefied territory,
we're about to have a queen freakin' sweep!
- Well, hold on, that's why I was whispering,
'cause it felt like we're coming to a precipice
that we've come to a very select number of times
where every single thing in a Will It episode will.
- Hold on now.
You're sayin' we're comin' to the edge
and we're about to push Josh off?
- (laughs) Potentially.
Do you think that this could happen?
Do you think that the Big Snail can do it?
Well, why don't we find out how you did it
and then we'll decide by eating it if it does.
- [Josh] Yeah, honestly, I think this is my best work.
So we've actually taken snail shells and ground them up
and crusted the buns with it to give you some extra texture.
- [Link] Ooh, look how shiny it is.
Glittery, it's glinting in the light.
- Hold on, you just said the shells of the snails.
- [Josh] That's correct, we don't waste food.
- Which is typically the part you don't eat.
- [Josh] (mmhmms) Yes.
- Is the buns. - That's correct.
- Well, I said I liked the crunch,
but that's not what I had in mind.
- [Josh] Well, it's extra crunchy.
And then the patties are about
an 80/20 mixture of snail-to-beef.
What you're seeing on the bun there is the snail eggs,
it's a delicacy that we've mixed with the special sauce.
We've marinated the pickles in snail juice,
we actually juiced whole snails.
- Juiced whole snails.
- [Josh] And then infused a little bit of that snail juice
into some white cheese.
- Hold on, so I didn't know that you could get snail eggs.
- White cheese.
- [Josh] Oh yeah, internet, man, you can get anything.
- Okay, well, I'm gonna stop whispering because I,
I don't think we're that close to the edge anymore.
- [Josh] And there's some whole snails
inside the patty as well. - Oh good, of course.
- Oh no, they're on the edge too,
I can see all this black stuff peekin' out.
- [Josh] Correct, but we've also blended snails
throughout the whole patty.
- And before you eat it, snail of that.
- It doesn't snail it like a snail at all.
- I know, it doesn't.
- This one's actually almost Rhett-sized.
Okay, here we go.
I want this to happen, I want it to will.
- No, you know what?
I am unbiased, I only want to tell the truth.
- I want it to will.
- And discover- - I will it to want.
- No, I don't.
I wanna be honest, Josh, this is not for you,
this is for them, I'm just being real.
I know you want to have a queen sweep
and I'd love to give that to you,
but we have a job to do.
- [Josh] I wanna earn it.
- Rhett, focus.
- Well, hey, listen, I'm just goin' in
with an open and slightly biased mind.
Okay, here we go.
- And you've put snail in every single place,
and yet I feel like I'm just eating a Big Mac.
- Can you detect the snail?
- I just ate something that was like gritty, like dirt.
- Yeah, that's the snail shell that's in the bun.
- (mmhmms) But the taste is indiscernable
from a normal Big Mac. - It is!
- And I am not exaggerating at all.
- And you know me, I didn't come into this
wanting this to happen. (laughing)
But what I'm saying, honestly, without any pre-bias,
is this tastes like a Big Mac.
- Exactly like a Big Mac,
except there's like seashells on top of it.
- And you know what?
That's like, it kinda takes me to one of those days
where like, you're like, let's get Mickey D's on the beach!
Because it makes the kids happy!
And then you get out there
and the wind's like a lot stronger than you anticipated,
and then your umbrella goes and flips and flips
and actually goes through an old lady.
And then you're like,
well, hopefully nobody knows that's our umbrella
and you walk away.
And you come back and you realize that
your Big Mac lunch has fallen into the sand
and you're like, well, it's still a Big Mac, I gotta eat it.
And then you eat it and you're like,
mm, it kinda adds a little gritty crunch.
How is this happening?
How did you get the snail to hide
and fold so seamlessly into the Big Mac world?
- I can see the snail everywhere, it's not hidden,
except to my taste buds!
Snails!
Will it Big Mac?
- [Rhett And Link] Yes! (ding)
- We have a queen sweep! (fanfare)
Everything will today.
- (clapping) Josh, I didn't do it for you,
which means you earned it!
Congratulations, man!
- That's hard to do, that's hard to do,
lemme tell you right now.
