- I'm gonna feed you my sausage.
Oh, it's hot!
- I'm Timothy DeLaGhetto.
- And I'm David So.
- We travel around to different food festivals
where we eat all the eats.
- We drinks all the drinks.
- And we get all types of crazy,
while giving you guys the most raw
and realest food reviews in the game.
This is "Send Foodz."
- Wassup you sexy mother (beep)?
I'm Timothy DeLaGhetto.
- And I'm David So.
- Welcome to another episode of "Send Foodz."
We are in Des Moines, Iowa.
- Des Moines.
- Des Moines as the French say.
- Des Moines.
- We're at the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival
and yo, I love me some bacon.
- Can I tell you guys something real quick?
This is the biggest bacon festival on Earth.
We killed so many pigs here.
- Oh all the pigs are dead.
We got bacon shorts on.
Bacon shorts - What we talking 'bout?
We talking about swinging that meat,
but it's really, really cold in Des Moines
so my meats really small.
- You know what I would do for some bacon?
I would, I would strip for bacon.
- Show's canceled, everybody.
I don't give a (beep) about this job anymore.
- What's up, bro?
Thank you man. - Aye, what up, man?
- What's up, dog?
Thank you.
I'm gonna put that right there - What's this?
- This is the Bang Bang shrimp.
These are the two Dynamites.
- OK, word - Oh, OK.
- Thank you so much.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I feel a little emotionally confused.
People got like a little Southern twang to their voice,
but they're serving me Asian food.
- Yeah.
- So I don't know what's going on with what.
- It's a lot of confusion and they're, like,
really nice, but really aggressively nice.
- Hey what's up, bro?
- Chilling, this is my spot.
Yee-haw!
- OK.
- That's amazing.
Let's see Bang Bang shrimp.
- Cheers.
Got some bacon bits on top.
Mmm, it's good, yum, mmm.
Slight kick to it, too.
- Flavors on point.
Just enough like a little bacon-y hint to it.
I love it, dude.
- So we got some Dynamite shrimp.
You didn't get no shrimp.
And Dynamite crab.
- Isn't that the same thing that I got before?
Oh, he didn't give it to me.
- Cheers.
Crab first.
- That's tasty.
- It has like a bacon cream cheese filling inside.
- Like, you can't be mad at deep-fried cream cheese bacon,
and the little bit of sauce, the little sweet sauce
they put on there.
- It's like sweet, a little spicy, it's kinda tangy, too.
I give you guys an A+.
This is some drunk people food.
- I'm not mad at all
and it was handed to us by an Asian guy,
so you know I'm cool with that. - What kind of Asian are you?
- I'm Laos.
- You're Laos. - Laos!
- Yeahhh. - For sure,
my guy, my guy.
You look like me six months ago, dude.
- I gotta get like you right now, then!
- Yeah man, you know how it is, dude.
- Are you like the only asian dude here
in the whole festival?
- Uh, nah, I mean, feel like it, but
you know what I'm saying?
Y'all care if I get in the picture with y'all?
- Dude, do it dog!
- See how you notice he said both of us.
- I don't know how to do this selfie (beep).
Aye!
- For sure.
- Aye, good looking, y'all, good looking, y'all.
- I love that guy's voice,
it was a lot more high pitched than I expected.
- Let's try this shrimp.
This is really good.
- It's that bacon cream cheese thing going on, man.
I (beep) love it, man, this is drunk people food.
- It's fire.
- This with a nice Japanese beer.
- Oh yeah, let's get some beer.
- Are you Timothy DeLaGhetto?
- I am.
- Welcome to Iowa!
- Thank you so much! - How are you?
- Good, how are you?
- I was like, "I think that's him."
- I am, I am, I am. How's it going?
- Good.
- Good, are you enjoying Bacon Fest?
- How does every person know who this guy is?
Like, it doesn't even make sense.
It's Iowa.
White people don't watch Wild 'n Out.
That's a scientific fact.
- I mean I'm down for a, an Airborne.
- Oh yeah, we're gonna have sex tonight!
Yo, I like this yo!
- I like this too, what's this?
- This is Moscow Mule in a can, baby!
- What?
- But it's a beer so it's super light.
- Oh interesting, I like this too.
- I like this too.
Wow, can we, what do you want dude?
- The bacon curry crepe and the
bacon chicken mushroom crepe.
- OK.
- Sounds amazing.
So the crepes that we're having today,
they're a little fancy, man.
The one that I'm excited for is the most is actually
the bacon chicken mushroom crepe.
It has one of my favorite mushrooms on Earth in there.
Oyster mushrooms. - Ohhh
- Those mother (beep) are huge.
- I love Oyster mushrooms, dude.
I loves 'em dude.
- Dude those are King Oyster mushrooms.
- King Oyster mushrooms.
- Wow. - Dude.
- Wow.
- Look at that that got like some cheese on there.
- Oh no.
- Oh you can't have cheese!
- I'm gonna have it though.
So here's the thing, I've been trying to lay off the cheese
'cause cheese makes me breakout,
but anything for "Send Foodz."
This is for you guys, all right?
- OK, extra mushrooms!
- Yeah! - Thank you!
- Oh look at this it's so silky smooth.
It's like an Asian girl's face.
- Not mine, though.
My skin is trash.
Get, oh my god that looks amazing.
Oh you did that so seductively, oh my God, I'm wet.
Imma, Imma eat the ass.
Just like in real life, if I love something
I eat the ass.
- Chicken is super flavorful.
You know, so far the food that we've had here
is very like, I call it drunk-chies.
What I mean by like drunk, drunk-chies
is basically drunk munchies.
It's very dank in flavor, right?
So you have a lot of things going on.
You got that salty bacon,
you got that creamy sauce.
- And that pickle in there adds
a nice little sweetness to it.
- The pickle is very necessary.
This is like some (beep) I would make at home
drunk as (beep) at night with the tortilla,
but it's done better because it's with the crepe.
- I'm full.
- I already like this place based on one thing alone.
- What?
- Kevin Bacon pizza, dude.
- Oh dude, so funny; yay, puns!
Ohhh bacon chorizo tamales. - Tamale!
- Oh my Goddd.
Bacon chorizo tamale.
- Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon pizza.
Cheers, and then we'll trade-sies.
Mmm, oh.
- OK.
- What's the verdict guys?
- That's a good tamale right there.
- That's a good tamale, right? - That's a good tamale.
That's nice.
- What's the cream sauce on the bottom?
- It's a bacon-aise.
- Bacon-aise.
- See, these people don't play,
they knew it was a bacon festival
so they put bacon in everything.
We're talking about bacon mayonnaise
on that bottom son.
We're talking about sweet caramelized onions son.
- That's a nice tamale right there,
like, nice amount of, like, sweetness, nice and soft.
Mhmmm ah yeah.
And I just, I love me some chorizo,
you know what I'm saying?
Chorizo is my (bleep).
- I'm gonna - Trade-sies.
- Oh, that's nice.
The caramelized onions is, like,
has a nice little sweetness to complement
that salty-ass bacon.
This is fire, wow.

And hey look, Thrillist editor,
all my ass-eating jokes I was talking,
it's innuendo so we can keep that.
I'm talkin' about eating the back of the food
so we can keep that, all right?
So I got the sausage, you got the balls.
I'm gonna feed you my sausage.
Do it.
- Oh, this is hot!
Ah!
Oh my God, that's so good.
- I burned the top of my mouth.
- It's kinda sweet, like, the sausage and, like,
the casing is, like, salty like the bacon, oh, oh wow.
- As you can see, they don't care about your heart.
Look at the (beep) grease on this (beep).
- It's not grease, bro, it's bacon juice.
- Ohhh, I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, eat those balls.
Oh wow.
Wow.

I will say this, though:
As a sample it's great,
I don't know if I could have too much of this.
Really (beep) heavy.
I want this with like
- Some, like, Hawaiian bread.
- Yes!
- Wooo!
- I was thinking about some type of
sweet bread with this man.
Maybe with some kind of like pickled relish
just to cut up that fat a little bit.
- I love a good sausage, you know,
and that right there
this (beep) right here? That's good sausage, bro.

liking a few sausages.
It's OK.

I'm just too shy."
Can I get this Elvis peanut butter, bacon and banana please?
- I'm 'bout to get that dark chocolate, bacon and chips.
