- Today we ask the age old question...
- Will it pot pie?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat theme music)
- Good mythical morning.
- Now many times you've probably been encouraged
to step out of your comfort zone.
But don't worry, we are not gonna ask you
to do that today.
In fact, we cordially invite you
to sink your teeth into your comfort zone.
We're talking about pot pies
'cause we can think of no other food
that is quite as comforting.
- Yeah, it's like eating a blanket made of crust
with hot, savory stuff inside.
But I am not entirely sure
that we're gonna stay in the pot pie comfort zone
'cause we're about to venture to the fringe
and maybe beyond what makes a great pot pie.
- It's time for Will It Pot Pie?
Our first pie can be eaten morning, noon, and night.
It's got protein, it's got carbs,
but it's also got maple syrup.
Introducing the chicken and waffles pot pie,
or as we call it, the bawk-fest.
- Okay, Josh, what did you do?
- [Josh] So we're starting off pretty simple here.
We've got syrup gravy.
We have boneless fried chicken.
We have a pie crust waffle hybrid, call it a pwaffle.
- [Link] Wow. - Did you invest that?
- [Josh] Yeah, we did.
- [Link] All right, all right.
- [Rhett] Here we go, let's get a look inside this, oh.
- [Link] Wow. - [Rhett] Oh, lord.
- Good gracious.
I mean, it looks like an apple pie.
- Oh, and it just smells like chicken and waffles.
- Let me get in there.
- And I'm gonna do a little dip into the hot sauce.
- Oh, you got some?
Is this Tabasco?
Where do you think the best chicken and waffles are?
- [Josh] I'm a fan of Roscoe's.
- I love Roscoe's, man.
Other people have chicken and waffles,
but they make it... It's like a gimmick there.
But at Roscoe's, it's the real deal.
- [Josh] I get both smothered in gravy.
- Of course this is good.
This isn't just good.
This is marketable.
- Yeah, I'ma go in for another bite.
I'm gonna add some of the hot sauce.
- That's some good hot sauce too.
What kind of hot sauce is that?
- [Josh] We made it from scratch.
- For real?
- [Josh] No, it's Red Rooster.
(Rhett laughing)
- Is that Louisiana hot sauce? - [Josh] Mm-hmm.
- I'm gonna save that for later
'cause I'm gonna go back in there
'cause I can't imagine anything getting better than that.
- I want the people of the world-
- To know. - To have this.
Chicken and waffles, will it pot pie?
- [Both] Yes.
- When you think of Subway sandwiches,
you probably think of a basic lunch on the go
and a ton of mayo even though you asked
for just a little bit.
But what if you wanted to be basic at dinnertime too?
Well you can still just go to Subway,
or you could eat the Subway pot pie,
or as we like to call it, Week Night Dinner with Dad.
- Look at this.
Now there's something different happening on top here, Josh.
- [Josh] Oh, yeah. - What'd you do?
- [Josh] Well this is a long one.
It got a little bit involved.
You have nine-grain honey oat pie crust.
On the insides are a combination
of cold cut combo and meatballs.
We have the southwest sauce, sweet onion teriyaki sauce,
lettuce, tomato, onion, olives,
banana peppers, green peppers, jalapenos,
and then of course a chocolate chip cookie for dessert.
- Oh, there's... Where's the chocolate chip cookie?
- [Josh] That's for you to find out.
- Look, I just reached in
and pulled a meatball out perfectly.
There's a lot going on here,
maybe even too much for me.
- I want to explore what's going on,
so I'm going to dump half of this pie into...
Oh, my gosh.
- [Josh] Yeah, you gotta dig if you want the cookie.
- Well this looks like a supreme pizza disaster really.
This is a freaking... This is chaos.
This is chicken pot chaos.
- [Josh] Yeah, I wanted to pour some Powerade on there,
but that got vetoed.
- [Rhett] Yeah, Josh, you know-
- [Link] I haven't even tasted it yet.
I'm just so confused. - Somewhere along the process,
just the brainstorming process,
you should have just pulled back a little bit.
- [Josh] Subway's got too many options on that buffet line.
- This is, I mean, the way it all came together
is in a way that I do not enjoy.
It's taken Link approximately seven minutes
just to get a bite of it,
to give you some idea of how complicated it is.
- Yep, it's horrible.
- There you go, just waiting for you to get on that train.
So pretty simple, Subway, will it pot pie?
- [Both] No.
- You're probably asking yourself,
what kind of people would procreate these pot pies?
Well maybe the answer is the Mythical Kitcheneers.
- I think that is the answer.
- That is the answer.
Check out the Mythical Kitchen channel
because Mythical chef Josh, there you are,
Nicole and Trevor,
they conceive all kind of crazy culinary creations
and show you how to make some of the stuff
that's made here that we get to experience.
You can make it and experience it yourself.
Plus they got a podcast, Hot Dog is a Sandwich,
where they discuss your controversial food opinions,
available wherever podcasts are found.
So check out all that stuff. - Check it out.
- Good work happening over there.
- Yeah. - Proud of us.
- Okay, so it's hard- - You, proud of you.
- To imagine leaving a Chili's restaurant-
- I'm proud of us.
- With any leftover baby back ribs.
But what if you do have a few spares laying around?
Wouldn't you wanna put 'em in a pie?
Of course you would. - Yes.
- So let's take a look at the pie
that we're calling the Hi, Welcome to Chili's pot pie.
It's got a bone in it.
Why?
- [Josh] It's a baby back rib bone.
It's to actually let steam escape the pie.
- [Link] Oh, there's a functional part.
So if I pull this out, steam is just gonna...
- [Josh] Yeah, it's a functional bone.
- It's a steam bone.
- [Josh] The bone is functional.
- A lot of people don't like to be reminded
of where the meat came from,
but this is really just staring you right in the face.
It's the first thing you see.
- [Josh] Yeah, you can use it as a fork too.
- I will not. - [Josh] Okay.
- [Rhett] So what's in here?
- [Josh] So inside we've got a bunch of baby back rib meat.
We have a barbecue sauce gravy.
We have their skillet white queso.
And it is topped with, as you've seen,
a rib bone and also Awesome Blossom petals.
- Look at that bite.
That is just...
- Oh, wow. - Wonderful.
- [Rhett] Oh, wow, that's- - Wonderful, wonderful.
Wonderful work, Josh.
I haven't been to a Chili's in so long.
My first date was at a Chili's with my wife.
Chili's, if you're doing a meet your mate campaign,
I'm in, I'm in.
Matter of fact, I'll mate at a Chili's-
- I wouldn't do that. - As part of the integration.
- I think the- - How is this?
Whoops.
- I think the QC people with the brand
might have an issue with that.
It's good, it's- - [Link] Smokey.
- [Rhett] It's bread.
It's got rib meat in it.
It's got barbecue sauce.
- It's also got a little bit of bone still in there.
- [Josh] Yeah, there's bones in there.
- I took Shepherd to a Chili's on a recent trip.
I was like, "I know we typically don't go...
"We don't go to Chili's, you know?
"'Cause your mom, she's hard to please.
"But she's not here, so we're gonna go to Chili's."
And it was like, there was just all...
You could see it in his eyes.
Everything that was happening, he was like,
"This has been available all along?"
- They've really sharpened it to a point.
- [Rhett] Yeah, we got like four kinds
of ribs between the two of us.
- But they don't have a pot pie.
And this level of comfort is something that they should do.
They should have these to go.
You know they've got that door on the side,
that mysterious to-go door.
They should just be throwing pot pies
left and right out of there.
- That's where you can mate.
We can open the door up, and you'll be mating right there.
I can see it right now.
I'll shoot the commercial.
You wanna see something go?
- Rhett, if this is your way to watch, it's not gonna work.
Chili's baby back ribs, will they pot pie?
- [Both] Yes.
- We may be avoiding state fairs,
theme parks, and sporting events for a while longer,
but those aren't the only places you can have a corn dog,
which I know you love. - I do.
- You can also have them in your very own pot pie,
or as we like to call it,
Former Hot Dog on a Stick Employee Matt Carney pot pie.
- Yeah, so I'm fully expecting
that I'm gonna enjoy this just like a corn dog.
- Okay, okay.
Josh, what did you do here? - Fully expecting.
- [Josh] (laughs) We made a corn bread crust.
There it is, that's perfect.
That's how we intended it to be eaten.
- Look at that.
- [Josh] So we've made a cornbread crust.
Inside are filled with a bunch of mini cocktail wieners.
We did a ketchup and mustard gravy,
and then of course garnished
with a little ketchup and mustard sauce.
- I love corn dogs.
- Ketchup and mustard gravy, huh?
- And no offense to Matt Carney.
I know you're listening.
- Matt Carney, are you on the line?
- [Matt] Hello, sir.
- Yeah, okay, no offense, Matt Carney.
But the Corn Dog Castle at Disneyland
has a better corn dog than Hot Dog on a Stick.
Right or wrong?
- [Matt] I've never... I wouldn't be caught dead
at the Corn Dog Castle.
- Are you allegiant to us or Hot Dog on a Stick?
- [Matt] Oh, Mythical to the day I die
or we go out of business and Hot Dog on a Stick is hiring.
(Rhett laughing)
- The mustard is strong with this one.
- Did I ever let you have a bite
of my hot dog sandwich growing up?
- No, I never asked.
- I wish you had.
- What was your hot dog sandwich that you never offered me?
- It was just hot dogs cut lengthwise
on white bread with ketchup and mustard.
- [Link] Josh, there's just too much...
Too much mustard, homie.
- [Josh] No...
- I think, Matt Carney, you're looking at this.
Does this meet your standard?
- [Matt] How close is Josh?
Can he hear me?
- No, he can't hear you.
- No, he's in the other room.
- [Matt] No, we went through a specific training
on how to make our corn dogs.
We hand stomped our lemonade,
three different types of flavors, cherry, lime-
- Okay.
- You don't have to sell us on it, okay?
- He's not answering the question.
He's just talking about where he used to work.
- This is not an application for Hot Dog on a Stick.
- [Link] Corn dog, will it pot pie?
- Yes!
- No!
- I mean, in general, in theory it will,
just not this execution. (laughs)
- So no, it doesn't.
Corn dog, will it pot pie with this mustard?
- [Both] No.
- Not all pickled things are cucumbers.
There's pickled eggs, pickled peppers,
pickled herring, even pickled pigs' feet.
Are all those pickled things good on their own?
Well, it depends.
Are they all good together?
Probably not, but we're gonna try.
Please bring forth the pickled pot pie,
also known as the Pickled Pot Why, Josh?
- [Josh] Oh, yeah, this one I'm really excited about.
So we got a pickled gravy.
We got Italian giardiera pickles.
We got pickled eggs.
We got pickled herring.
We got pickled pigs' feet.
- What is the thing on top?
- [Josh] Is that a nipple?
No, it's actually a toe of a big that's been pickled.
And the crust has been infused with kimchi,
then we've actually soaked the crust
in the kimchi pickling liquid.
- You've soaked the crust in the kimchi pickley-wickley?
- The kimchi Piggly Wiggly. (laughs)
- [Josh] It's a little wet.
- Do they have kimchi at Piggly Wiggly?
- No. - Probably not.
- I can put money on that one.
- Let's get in there.
- [Link] It doesn't smell like pickle.
- [Josh] What does it smell like?
- It smells like...
- It smells like death.
- [Josh] Oh, we pickled death.
That's what it was.
- [Link] Oh, gosh.
- It smells like you haven't cleaned your fish tank,
and then you're making a decision
about whether you're gonna clean it
or just put it out on the side of the road
with a free sign next to it.
- [Josh] We make that decision
every day in Mythical Kitchen.
- [Link] I don't know what, I mean...
- What is that?
- [Josh] Could be herring.
- (laughs) Could be herring.
We have to create a bite here.
- We gotta create a bite,
and we gotta time this out
'cause I'm not going at this alone, and I'm not gonna...
- [Rhett] Oh, there's an onion.
There's a pearl onion.
- [Link] What is that?
That's part of an egg.
- Is that a piece of crab or a radish?
- [Josh] It certainly ain't crab.
(Rhett laughing) - So that's part of a pickle,
part of an onion, part of a...
I gotta find some of this nasty-
- [Rhett] Here's a whole pickle I'll just stick on top.
- [Josh] The red's the egg.
- I'm gonna do a chaser with the...
- With the pig toe?
- [Josh] It's actually the toe nail.
You're supposed to kind of suck the skin off
and then spit out the nail.
- Oh, gosh!
- Look at the freaking toenail of a pig.
- Oh, no, I don't want to.
- I'm gonna just bite a little bit,
and then I'm gonna chase it with the full bite.
- Why, why, why, why?
- I still gotta dink it and sink it.
Get your pig foot ready.
We need to dink the pig feet first,
and then... (Link gagging)
Come on, you're starting on the wrong foot here, Neal.
You gotta... You gotta-
- It's a pig's foot.
- You gotta put your brave face on.
Put your brave face on.
- I need to get a little bit of that gherkin.
- I put a whole gherkin.
I think the gherkin is my salvation in this situation.
- I know, that's why... Oh, god.
- All right, so let's do a little dink with this.
- And what?
- Dink it,
and take a little nibble to sink it,
and then follow it up quick.
Here we go.
Sink it.
- And then dink that?
- Oh, I can't get through.
(Link groaning)
(Link gagging)
- It's just not good.
- Mm-hmm. - It's very pickley.
You like pickled meats and crap.
- Pickled Meats and Crap, my favorite store.
- The pickling is actually helping quite a bit.
It's helping me be able to swallow it
against my better instincts,
not that I'm enjoying it.
- [Josh] Would you enjoy it if I told you
the last ingredient was pickled love?
(all laughing)
- If you tell somebody you put pickled love in something,
they're probably gonna call the police.
You already got it down.
- Well I been chewing the whole time you been yapping.
- Okay, well now let's really give it a chance.
- Oh, I did.
I mean, it's in my belly, man.
How much more of a chance do you wanna give it?
- [Rhett] Okay, pickle, will it pot pie?
- [Both] No!
- Of course not.
- Just based on scent alone, this is just...
- Yeah, we need then to put that outside.
- Yeah, I'm afraid what it might attract.
You need to hermetically seal that.
But you know what?
You know, and now you don't have to taste it.
