- Crab.
- Oh, yeah, this is like a hot dog.
- Oh my God, that just pulled up.
- [Men] Whoa.
- When we first started food babies,
this was our number one goal.
- This is a great day.
(Ned groans)
- Oh my God.
(Ned groans)
(Alexandria groans)
Only the best, for the food babies.
(upbeat music)
- Hey guys, it's YB
- And Alex.
- And welcome to another episode of.
- [Crowd] The food babies.
- Featuring the food daddies.
(Ned growls)
Hey there.
- So we're at Boiling Crab today
and I usually eat here at least once a week.
- Wait, what?
- I, I do.
- What?
- We love Boiling Crab.
- What's your mercury levels at?
- I don't know.
- Through the roof.
(upbeat music)
- My name is Nana.
I'm the Training and Development Manager,
here at the Boiling Crab.
And we're at our Westwood location.
It's Cajun, seafood, backyard style,
a lot of flavor, spice and it's untraditional.
We eat with our hands and feet, everything on the table.
Utensils and manners out the door.
- I get The Whole Sha-Bang, medium level
and it's pretty spicy already at that time.
- Yeah, I do Whole Sha-Bang, no spice.
- Is Whole Sha-Bang a new order?
- Is that like a order?
- I'll take The Whole Sha-Bang.
- I'd like a Whole Sha-Bang, please.
- Whole Sha-Bang is great, it's all three
of their other sauces, mixed together.
So you get The Whole Sha-Bang.
- [Both] Wow.
- [Nana] Our most popular items are crawfish, shrimp,
king crab legs, raw oysters, Cajun fries, Cajun wings.
We go through about 15,000 pounds per week, per location.
- So today, we're gonna do four rounds.
We're gonna start out with our classic speed round.
- [Alexandria] Where we do a 1/2 pound
of non-spicy garlic shrimp.
Then, we're gonna go into the endurance round
and do one pound of lemon pepper, mild crawfish.
Next, we're gonna do a pound and 1/2
of Rajun Cajun, medium spicy crab.
And then to top it all off, we're gonna have two pounds
of Whole Sha-Bang, triple X, lobster.
- Yes.
- Damn, two pounds of lobster?
- A Whole Sha-Bang, triple X?
(man screams)
(orchestral music)
- [Woman] Three, two, one, go.
- Okay now, everybody knows the trick with shrimp,
is you have to just dig it, take it's head off
and then you grab it's little leg.
- You're pulling it here?
- Okay, so my trick is, I eat the shell.
- You eat the shell?
- Mm-hmm.
- I can't eat the shell.
- Cheater.
- [YB] It's gonna take me forever.
- I'm slow.
- [YB] Let go.
- [Keith] It's so hard.
- [Nana] The Boiling Crab first started with a couple,
named Yo'Mama and Yo'Daddy.
Yo'Daddy's from Seadrift, Texas, was a fisherman.
Yo'Mama's from Kansas and was a business woman,
who loved to eat.
They moved to California
and they decided to open up a Boiling Crab in 2004
in Garden Grove, California and the rest is history.
- Is it okay to eat the shells?
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, yeah.
- It's like when you have Chinese fried shrimp,
you eat the whole thing.
- [Keith] What are you talking about?
- Oh, I got it in my eye.
- It's a real.
- Oh no, YB.
- It just popped in my eye, I gotta keep going.
- Oh no.
- You have another eye, you're fine. (YB laughs)
- Don't take a long time to chew, though.
You should just spit 'em out.
You just spit 'em right out of your mouth.
- There's no time.
- There's plenty of time, spitting takes no time.
- [Woman] How many shrimps do you guys have left?
- [Alexandria] I don't know.
- Three.
- You only have three?
- What?
- There you go daddy.
- I can't chew that fast.
- It's a marathon, baby.
(man mumbles)
(dramatic music)
- Mm, I feel good.
(dramatic music continues)
- [YB] Last one.
- Are we done?
- Yes, we're winning.
- Did you do it?
- I'm done.
- I'm done, it's in my mouth, though.
- Mine's done.
- You're still chewing.
Your mouth's still chewing.
- [YB] There's still food in your mouth.
- There's still food in your mouth. (bell rings)
- Done.
- You're both such liars.
- [Ned] Yes.
- Doing it.
- Done.
- [Ned] Woo, now we just, take our time,
with a little bit of sauce in.
- I can't believe I, hold on now, how am I a loser?
- You were actually really fast for peeling all of them too.
- How are you guys so fast, how'd you do it so fast?
I think the glove slowed me down, for sure.
'Cause I can't, I can't get my thumbnail in there.
- Your thumbnail?
- The thumbnails, that's how you get in there.
You get in there with your thumbnails, time.
- [Alexandria] Yea.
- 4:47.
(crowd cheers)
Try and beat that.
(girls laugh)
- I ate a few shells.
- I think I ate one of the whiskers.
The whiskers.
(girls laugh)
- Antenna.
That was good, so I definitely lost a speed round.
So I have to come back and really show my worth
in the endurance round.
But of course, this endurance has spice, not just quantity,
so it's gonna be extra tough.
- Ooh, maybe we'll have our favorite food daddy as well.
- Ooh.
- Oh, I hope it's me.
(girls laugh)
- I hope so too, Ned deserves a victory here.
- Yeah, at that sushi video, you kinda sucked.
(man groans)
- I don't know if I can keep going.
- How many did you have?
- Two.
(crowd laughs)
Thank you, thank you for not mincing your words.
- Next round, crawdads, crawfish,
craydids, crawdaddies.
- Ooh, craydids.
- [Man] Round two, the endurance round.
- Oh, there you go, oh, damn.
- A receipt?
(crowd laugh)
- [YB] That's yours to eat.
- Oh my God, I'm so excited.
- [Man] Oh, yeah.
- Gotta get all the sauce, I've actually never had crawfish.
- What, what?
- Yeah, I've only had shrimp, lobster and crab.
- You come here every week and you've never had crawfish?
- [YB] Well, I always get shrimp.
- Crawfish are like the aunts of lobsters.
- [YB] Yeah.
Shrimp is their most popular.
They said they go through 10,000 pounds of shrimp a week.
- Holy (beep). - How do you eat it?
- Ooh, do you wanna hear my street fair sales pitch?
- [Ned] Step right up, step right up
to the Boiling Crab street fair.
Who wants to taste a crawfish?
We got $20 for a pound.
Here's what you're gonna do.
You're gonna snap off the head
and if you're audacious, you can suck the head.
- Snap off the head.
- Delicious, then I like to twist off the tail there,
just a little twist of the tail
and you can just slide it right out
and then take off the shell.
But it's hard shell soft meat.
Do you want a sample?
(crowd laughs)
Pretty lady?
(crowd laughs)
- [Man] Oh, no you have to eat yours. (crowd laughs)
- Mm.
- [Ned] That's $20 a pound, can I get you for two pounds?
(YB laughs)
- [Keith] Wow, is that how you did it?
- No, but sometimes if they were a big spender.
- [Ned] Snap it there you go, and then twist off the tail.
- [Alexandria] Yeah, like the butt, butt.
- The butt, butt.
- The butt, butt, twist off the butt, butt.
- And then you can usually just wiggle it out.
- You see it's like a little, like a little lobster tail.
- It is.
- Tiny little lobster tail.
It is pretty hard to eat, but it's really good.
- Yes, I'm getting better at it.
- Mm-hmm, it is getting spicier than I thought it would
for the mild section.
(Keith breathes)
- Dip in the sauce.
- It's not hot in my mouth,
but it's that pepper in the back of your throat.
- Uh-huh it stings, it's stinging my little lippies.
(man breathes)
- Your nose is running.
- I know what it is doing
but how can I possibly do anything about it?
(YB groans)
- Yo, the head was easy, but getting the butt open.
- Yeah.
- It's a tough butt.
- Okay, getting the butt open.
- The sauce is so good.
Usually, when I have leftover sauce, I put pasta in it
and make a pasta sauce out of it.
- [Alexandria] Ooh, that sounds good.
We should do that today.
- Yeah, I mean, my stomach's filling up a little bit.
One of the worst members in the endurance round.
(YB laughs)
Historically.
- [YB] Oh, my God.
- Oh, hello.
Ooh, no.
(crowd laughs)
Only the best for the food babies.
- My lips are warm.
And I'm ready for crab.
I should be knuckles deep in a crab right now.
You eat, you eat their knuckles.
(Keith laughs)
- Oh, they're huge.
- [Ned] Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- [Ned] Whoa.
(upbeat music)
- Yeah, look at those legs.
- [Ned] What, damn, bro.
- [Keith] Look at those legs.
- [Ned] Oh, that's heavy.
- The last two rounds were so delicious.
- [Alexandria] And we flew by them so fast.
We decided to double our crab order.
So this is now, I believe three pounds of crab, huge.
- Look at this.
- Ooh, look at this, oh, baby girl, now.
Oh, girl.
- Girl.
- Oh, baby girl, now.
Okay, this is a great day.
- [Ned] This is my dream meal.
If I get too full to eat this, I will be so sad.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, we did it.
- [Ned] Yeah.
- Uh-oh, oh. - Oh, my gosh, so good.
- Mm-hmm, starting to get a little spicier.
- [Ned] Uh-oh, Keith your voice is increasing in octaves.
- Whoa, that was a really spicy bite.
- [Alexandria] It's really peppery, so once it hits the back
of your throat, you get a little coughy.
- Uh-huh, mm-hmm.
Spicy mouth boy.
- This is so good.
- Oh spicy.
- I'm crying.
(Ned belches)
- Oh, are you guys feeling it yet?
- [Alexandria] I feel like I'm burning calories,
this is so hard to open.
- Twisting part is hard.
- I know.
(Ned groans)
Ooh, yeah.
- Ah, my mouth is so hot.
- [Ned] Your nose is running.
Oh, Florida.
- Mm.
- I'm starting to feel pretty full,
but it's really good.
- [Alexandria] It's really good.
- Oh my God, look.
Ooh.
- Whoa.
(Alexandria chokes)
- What was that?
- I got some of the spice in my throat.
- My mouth is burning but it's a good burn.
(playful music)
Mm.
- Mm, the sauce is great but the meat is so good,
you don't even need it.
- [Keith] That's true actually.
- Mm.
- Yeah, for medium, it's way hotter,
than I thought it would be. - It's hot.
(Keith belches)
(crowd laughs)
My lips are burning.
Whoa, whoa.
Wow every time you, it's like you win.
- Oh.
- Ooh, did you see that?
Oh my God, that just pulled up.
- [Men] Whoa.
- Holy guacamole.
- [Ned] Yeah.
- This is my favorite food babies video.
When you first started food babies,
this was our number one goal.
We wanted to do a seafood mukbang.
- [Men] Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- Well I'm glad that,
we can help you accomplish your dreams.
- Me too.
- Wow, this is fun.
Are you guys having as much fun as we are,
watching this video?
Probably not.
(crowd laughs)
Woo.
- [Woman] Is no one full?
- No.
- [Both] I'm getting full.
- Me too, usually, I can't afford this, so I eating--
- [Man] Right?
We're probably devouring like $600 worth of crab.
- Yes. - [Keith] How you doing, Ned?
- Slowing down.
- No, you got this.
Oh, yeah, this is like a hot dog.
(crowd laughs)
- Oh my gosh, I'm like really hot and pretty full now.
- Well, I feel great, I'm not full at all.
My mouth is hot, my nose is running.
- Oh, I got two more.
- [Alexandria] Now my last claw.
- [Ned] I'm just getting warmed up.
- Nice to meet you.
- It's nice to work with you.
- Crab.
- Ow, ow, that hurt.
(YB groans)
- Ooh.
(girls laugh)
I think I'm slowing down a little bit.
(Keith screams)
- It's just so slippery, I've got no friction.
- [YB] You can do it, Keith.
- Ah, we got it.
- I'm exhausted.
- It's a little more oceany in the claws.
- [Keith] Well, they breathe through the claws.
- They do?
- No.
(crowd laughs)
- No.
- You can't do that.
You could tell us anything, we'll believe you.
- You always say things and--
- Every time, you never learn.
You did it, Ned.
Hey guys, we finished all the crab.
(crowd cheers)
Well, that means it's time to go to the last round.
The triple X spice lobster and I'm having two.
Lobster.
- [Woman] Lobster.
- Spicy lobster, triple X.
- [Keith] So we did sit for a minute,
while we were waiting for the lobster.
I have gotten a little more full.
- [Ned] Triple X,
does that mean we're in the red lobster district?
(crowd laughs)
See what I did there?
- So we actually got three lobsters for each table.
- Where's his hands?
His hands fell off.
- Look at that beautiful half tail right there.
Isn't that gorgeous?
- Gorgeous, gorgeous.
- Ooh, it's hot.
- [Woman] Do you guys wanna dip
and eat the spicy sauce at this round?
I think we should.
- Yeah, we gotta, the first bite has to be--
- Just a big old dip of spicy sauce.
- Our last cheer.
- [Crowd] Cheers.
- All right, do a big dip.
- [Keith] Oh my God.
- The spicy triple X.
- Get the bottom though, the bottom--
- Whoa, the bottom--
- You gotta mix it around though,
you gotta mix it and swirl it.
- [Crowd] Three, two, one.
(dramatic music)
(Alexandria coughs)
- Mm.
- It's hot, whoa.
(crowd chokes)
- Spicy, oh, not like this.
- Mm.
(crowd chokes)
- Ooh, my God.
- That's really good.
- So good and so bad at the same time.
- The flavor is unbelievable.
The spice is also unbelievable.
- Oh my God, it's really spicy.
- Got a whole dip.
(Alexandria chokes)
- [Keith] The flavor's so good.
(upbeat music)
- I wasn't expecting it to be this hot.
- That's a good, spice.
(Keith screams)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Whoa.
(girls laugh)
- [Ned] The ranch will cool it down.
- You ready?
- Cheers.
- [Alexandria] Cheers.
- Clink.
- Wait, what?
- Mm, strong deal.
- Oh yes, I got the claw.
Mm.
- Oh my God my nose is...
Oh.
(Keith belches)
(YB laughs)
- Ooh, boy.
- Let's try the spicy dip.
(Keith laughs)
- Just like in lobster.
- He's a big boy.
- [Woman] Is everyone gonna finish everything?
- I think we're gonna do it, guys.
- It's so good.
- [Keith] This was fun.
- This was great. - Ned, you can do this.
(Ned groans)
Think of your family.
- You're right.
- Well, I've got my last bite for toasting.
- Oh, we already finished it.
- Collectively, 25 pounds of sea food.
- 35.
- 35 pounds.
- 35?
- Yeah. - 'Cause we kept adding more.
- We ate 35 pounds of sea food?
- [Girls] Yup.
- What?
- The last bite, as always, we do a toast.
Today, I would like to toast to both of the food babies
for both earning my favorite award.
But especially Alexandria, who not only finished everything
but won the speed round.
Congratulations to Alexandria.
Congratulations to YB as well.
- We did it.
(YB cheers)
- Congratulations to both food babies
but I have to give my favorite award to Alexandria,
- Yea.
- Who not only beat me by one second in the speed round,
but also shares a love of drinking ranch dressing,
straight from the bottle.
- All right, I'll dip my fry.
I will dedicate my fry, oh, also to Alex
because she beat me in speed and she finished her food, so.
- Thanks guys.
- Let's eat.
- My lips are on fire. - Spicy.
- Okay, I dedicate my last lobster to a few people.
I dedicate it to my fellow food baby, 'cause we did it.
And we finally tied.
I didn't beat you yet.
- We won, 'cause you won a speed round.
- We beat the food daddies.
- It's true.
- And thank you to the food daddies for joining us.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, it was so good to be here.
- And lastly, thank you to the Boiling Crab for hosting us
because this is probably,
one of the best meals I've ever had.
- The best freaking, video.
- The best one, we can't wait to come back.
Cheers, guys.
- Cheers.
- Cheer, margaritas.
- And thank you to all the sea bugs who gave their lives,
so that we might create content for all of you.
If you have a sea bug restaurant near you,
why don't you go get some sea bugs
and thank them, for their dedication of their lives.
(upbeat music)
- That's disgusting, that's disgusting.
The tops a little bit better.
