today we go all the way on the first
meal of the day
let's talk about that
[Music]
good mythical morning they say the
breakfast is the most important meal of
the day
and i think i believe that but i also
hold another belief one that i think
is diametrically opposed to that one in
my mind as well
i believe that breakfast should be the
least expensive
meal of the day i just can't justify
spending dinner-sized
money on breakfast or on a second
breakfast for that matter am i wrong
yeah wrong but you're a tight wide so
that has to be taken into account well i
mean what
how do you feel about spending a lot of
money on on breakfast
is there a limit i live in los angeles i
mean they'll take
some orange juice and put some champagne
in it
and call it a mimosa and charge you 16
for it so
i've kind of lost all perspective
i'm overpaying for breakfast it's what
i'm saying i'm not surprised there are
some
unbelievably expensive breakfasts out
there more than we've
experienced i think and they got all
kinds of wild ingredients
and today we're going to try them and
maybe it'll loosen my wad
as long as you give me a warning it's
time for high baller meals for low
dollar steals
breakfast edition
so restaurants mark up their menu items
for various reasons maybe the dish is
hard to make maybe the ingredients are
expensive
maybe they like making ridiculous
over-the-top menu items to keep their
street cred
we don't know it's different for
different reasons now we wanted to see
how much certain items that fancy
restaurants actually
cost to make what is the ingredients
cost
yeah so the mythical kitcheners have
recreated some
actual high dollar breakfasts that are
out there
using the exact same ingredients and
we're going to try them including this
first one this under this
food helmet and we're going to guess how
much that we think
it actually costs to make them whoever's
closer wins the round
and then the overall loser has to kneel
on grits
in good mythical more so i was told
that's an old school
catholic school uh punishment all right
stevie
tell us about his first item you can
reveal it
this stack of pancakes created by chef
matthew downes of opus one bar and
restaurant in manchester uk
is made up of three different batters
and layered with beetroot chives lobster
mussels truffles
and topped with a cream cheese beluga
caviar swirl
it comes with dom perignon rose
hollandaise sauce and is served with
a side of caviar and gazpacho shots
this breakfast sells for 800 pounds or 1
106.32 cents
how much does it sell for 800 pounds or
1106.32
cents now you mentioned what what are
the what are these shots again
you just drink it take it like a shot
what oh that's good what's crispy
that's good what is this one tomato
juice same exact thing they're just
different colors of tomatoes
oh that is a tomato well yes of course
i think you said there was some lobster
you said there was some caviar
there's the dom perez
and the thing is it doesn't even taste
good now
clarifying technical questions stevie
please tell me what you can
say um i may or may not have the answer
to this so this
is some fish eggs right here they're
expensive now
that might not be all the fish eggs that
were bought for this meal that might be
the ones that made it to the plate are
we pricing the proportions that go into
the dish or we
they had to buy a bottle of dump arion
in order to make this but is it like
well we only used an
eighth of the bottle so it's an eighth
of the bottle in the price yeah it's
only what we used
so down from over a thousand dollars
okay you know what it didn't taste that
bad i mean a pancake that
it definitely tastes like lobster it's
growing on me i like it especially at
the gazpacho
gazpacho 189.
i think it's a steal uh i said 298
dollars and 35
cent our mythical kitcheners spent
692.40 to create this pancake
which is 413.92 less than the original
version
and and in order to afford all of these
ingredients
the mythical and smosh crews have
generously agreed
to go without toilet paper for the rest
of 2021 okay all right i feel better and
better but toilet paper ain't that
pricey
i mean maybe next three years i mean my
my wad is already getting tighter
this ostrich egg full english breakfast
is sold at
florentine restaurant and bar in london
it's served with
portobello mushrooms cumberland sausage
roasted tomatoes bacon a toasted
baguette
and a side of beans
and it costs 75 pounds or 103.72 cents
wow and we got that here oh look wow so
ostrich
i mean when i looked at the picture i
didn't realize it was that big
that for a hundred dollars is oh my
goodness it's like a piece of pot it's
actually not that bad
i know you're not a runny egg man but
it's actually less runny than it looks
oh let me taste i'm gonna get a little
bit of sausage over here
really big breakfast how much is an
ostrich egg is really what we're dealing
with here i'm going to keep these
here does the oshers lay an egg i mean i
think 103 dollars
is not exorbitant you pointed a couple
of different
places on a menu in los angeles and you
you're you're brunching at 103
i mean it can happen
okay you ready yeah i went with 68.76
went a little lower 47.47 47 47.47
you're a little closer on this one we
spent seventy nine dollars and ninety
cents
come on guys which is the difference
that's gonna be more expensive
eighty two but do not worry because in
order to afford all these ingredients
we did have to change chase's title back
to intern
oh okay do you think muffins are just
unfrosted cupcakes well if you want to
hear what josh and nicole
think about that you can listen to their
podcast a hot dog is a sandwich
available at any of the podcast places
and you should also check out
their channel on youtube mythical
kitchen
you know watch good friends make good
food
it airs weekly tuesdays and thursdays
check it out all right guys that's right
you recommend yeah what do we got this
round stevie
this lobster bucatini brunch comes from
layuka restaurant
at the william vale hotel in brooklyn
two chains sampled the lobster brunch
back in 2017 on his vice show most
expensiveist
it's made with 70 year old lobster and
topped with golden osetra caviar and
australian truffle shavings
and it cost 2 000 70 year old lobster
okay where did you say this is from
um it's from the william vale hotel in
brooklyn
okay you know what you know how when
a certain city in japan is said on the
show i have a certain response right
of course kind of my thing yeah uh well
i saw a comment recently where they said
well
you know link saying in brooklyn back in
the day that was kind of his thing
how about every time somebody says
brooklyn link does his brooklyn thing
so i mean if you're if you're willing to
go there i mean i really had to give the
opportunity to do that brooklyn
so stevie where is it from again it's
from brooklyn
i mean we could just have it twinkle
fingers play it back no it's better when
you say it man
okay but if he's available maybe it
could echo it i don't know
brooklyn oh it's it's lower yeah
brooklyn
where's it from where's it from stevie
it's from brooklyn
brooklyn yeah i got it now all right
it's a lot shorter than the uh the thing
that i do which is good
thousand dollars 2 000 year old lobster
you say
i mean was it was the lobster alive for
70 years
or uh was it aged after dead for 70
years no it was an old man his name is
charles
so i don't know i'm not even going to
ask how you got a 70 year old lobster
and how they even know
i mean what do they measure you got to
get some of the truffles on there i got
a truffle and i got some
i got a noodle too
i mean very lemony you think old lobster
is better than young lobster
i think a big part of y'all y'all better
brought this way down
is uh is that 70 year old lobster i mean
oh shoot y'all spent 600 plus on the
first round
it is good i must say 421 dollars and
eight cents okay i
i'm almost double you but we're both on
the same page and that this is a big
markup so that's at 801
yeah i'm thinking y'all brought it come
on come on the mythical culinary team
spent three hundred and seventy four
dollars
finally see which is a difference of one
thousand six hundred and twenty six
dollars and in order to afford all these
ingredients we did
sell davin's desk and we replaced it
with
um no desk great totally fine with that
stevie hey hey guys
you there
cool this round obviously has two things
so
first up kind of big things feast your
eyes on the
bloody beast a bloody mary sold at so
woman's pub and grill in wisconsin
this bloody mary comes with typical
fixins like pickles olives and celery
but also has brussels sprouts bacon
wrapped jalapeno cheese balls and an
entire fried chicken it costs
60 and 10 of each sale goes
to the hunger task force a local food
bank
that's it's on your side please be very
careful
i've never seen a complete fried chicken
like oh y'all did
it that is crazy freaking fried a whole
chicken and put it
on the top of the thing i mean people
fried turkey but i don't think i've ever
ever seen that what's this ball bacon
wrapped ball
bacon half cheese ball oh my gosh it's
good wisconsin y'all they go
big oh man
i got a straw here there's like a shrimp
thing
is it good that just tastes like tomato
juice y'all
where's the alki we can't we can't have
the alcohol that's a
that's a youtube thing we got to be good
youtube boys
so that's 60 what about this what's
happening
if you find yourself needing a strong
cup of coffee after your bloody beast in
order to avoid a nine hour nap
there's a starbucks super close to the
pub
as you can see on this map okay yeah
where you can order
a super venti flat white like this one
which was ordered by william lewis in
2017
the flat white was made with coconut
milk and
170 shots of espresso
no and it sold for a 148
so the combined total for these two
drinks
was 208.99 and link if you lift up
that thing in front of you you will find
oh wow i mean
i was kind of hoping that that bald man
was just really small
yeah it was it wasn't still in there i'm
not gonna take my i mean this is like
stirring a witch's brew this is a
freaking cauldron
an actual starbucks did this i didn't
think they were that desperate i thought
they were too
big for their britches you know what i'm
saying this
i got a little residual bloody mary in
my uh gratuitous
in my super venti flat white
i mean there's nothing special we're
just tasting a big flat white
it's so flat yeah uh lots of coffee
there but
this is impressive though all right
total total was
what again oh shoot 208
for both okay
all right i'm saying 61.98
okay well i'm saying 79
up from 49 okay
this sounds a little bit different
because the mythical kitchener spent
a hundred and two dollars to recreate
just the bloody mary
and forty dollars on our version of the
starbucks super venti flat white
so they spent an average of three
hundred and three
thirty three dollars and on the two
drinks
um i don't know nicole might have to
explain that one but i do know yourself
did you like hurt yourself and have to
get a hospital bill in the middle of
this thing no but that is very on brand
for me but uh starbucks is expensive
shots are like two bucks a lot of shots
in there oh
got it so you went straight to the
source yes i want to make it as
authentic as possible for you guys
but the good news is that here in the
studio we will be replacing
all of our k-cups with the knockoff
brand version which is the
jk cups is there nothing in them
okay so that means the total cost of the
restaurant breakfast items was
three thousand four hundred and nineteen
dollars and three cents and the mythical
kitchen spent
one thousand six hundred and eighty
eight dollars and thirty cents to make
all the breakfast in the earth in this
episode
so that's a grand savings of
1730.73
it's not really a savings but that makes
me feel a little better and here's what
we're gonna do
i know we bring in these nice big things
we take a couple of bites out of them
we're conscious of the food waste so you
know what we're going to do we're going
to take that money that we just saved
which is how much money
1730.73
and we're going to donate that amount to
the los angeles regional
food bank yeah and that's
uh also you won yeah i did so i have to
kneel
on grits you got a nail give them a
little more looking forward to that
