- You get 15 points for it.
(laughing)
- Freddie's just making up her own scale
for when she gets points.
- I get 3/4 of a point for being hot.
(all laughing)
(upbeat instrumental music)
- So we are here at Eataly
because today,
(Kristin cheering)
we're gonna be trying 28 flavors of gelato.
- We're not gonna taste soft-serve.
(record scratches)
- You know what? - Ooh!
- Door's not gonna.
I don't know how to get out of here.
- [Chantel] We won't know what the flavors are.
We have to guess what they are.
- So, are we gonna be like wearing a blindfold,
or how does it work?
- We're just not gonna know?
- We're just not gonna know.
(laughing)
Who do we think is gonna win?
- Kristin's gonna win.
- I'm the Nancy Drew of mouths.
(laughing)
- I can imagine Kristin being very like
wine-tasty with this gelato.
- [Chantel] Full-bodied.
- [Freddie] I'm tasting some raspberry nuts.
- It's somehow spirit forward.
So, now that we roasted Kristin,
let's do it!
(clapping) - I'm ready to kick
all your butts.
- My name is Brendyn Adams,
I'm part of the gelato team here at Eataly.
We use high-quality ingredients
imported from Italy.
We make different bases,
between our dairy and our non-dairy products.
We make all of our gelatos fresh every week
in small batches.
We pasteurize all of our milk here,
and then we churn it in our
gelato-making machine.
We have a revolving list of
about 40 flavors here in the company.
Depending on the season,
we choose different fruit flavors,
we have alcoholic flavors like Bellini
made with Prosecco,
then we just go with
whatever else fits our needs
for our clientele.
Let the gelato taste-test begin!
Andiamo!
- So we're behind the counter,
we're about to begin our taste test.
We have Brendyn and Zach here,
who are going to be giving us the tastes.
Are we ready for our first gelato?
- [All] Yeah!
- Let's do it, yeah.
- Everyone look up at A cam
while he's doing this.
- I love A cam.
What's up, A cam?
- I'm gonna take my Lactaid.
- What flavor's that Lactaid?
- Milk.
(laughing)
- So we have a raspberry sorbet,
which is made with fresh raspberries.
- Take one down, pass it around.
- One, two, three.
- So it feels light and fruity,
but also like a smoothie.
Like a pool time in the summer.
- Yeah, it was raspberry.
- Raspberry.
- Raspberry is correct.
- Love it.
(ding) - Yeah!
- I was gonna guess something else, but.
- Oh nice.
- Okay, how are we gonna do this?
- We just, in good faith,
have to not copy each other.
- So we just say, one, two, three,
we all say the thing?
- Yeah.
- Got it.
- That way no one can cheat,
and it doesn't have to be a rush
to figure out what it is.
- Melone, cantaloupe flavored sorbet.
Also using fresh cantaloupe.
- Oh, I know.
- [Jen & Freddie] One, two, three.
- Cantaloupe. - Peach. - Banana.
(laughing)
- [Brendyn] Who said banana?
- I said banana.
- [Brendyn] Have you eaten a banana?
(ding) - It's cantaloupe.
- It does taste a lot more like cantaloupe
now that you've said cantaloupe.
- Is it cantaloupe?
- I didn't say anything.
(laughing)
- [Brendyn] Strawberry sorbet,
also made with fresh strawberries.
- [Zach] Three, two, one.
- [All] Strawberry. - [Jen] Watermelon.
(ding) Aw, damn it.
(laughing)
- [Brendyn] Coconut sorbet,
which has toasted coconut inside of it
and is extremely creamy for a dairy-free sorbet.
- [Zach] One, two, three.
- [All] Coconut.
(laughing)
(ding)
- Yeah.
- [Zach] So that one is coconut milk,
coconut water, and toasted coconut flakes.
- That's delicious.
- Totally dairy-free coconut.
- [Brendyn] Mixed berry sorbet,
which is strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry
mixed together.
- My tongue just tastes like everything.
- Me and Kristin are eating it.
- All of the red ones are tasting the same to me.
- This feels like a two-in-one.
- [Zach] It might be more than two in one.
- Oh!
- [Zach] One, two, three.
(cross talking)
- [Zach] Mixed berry, yeah.
(shouts)
- I might have said wild berry,
but I meant like multiple berries.
- I will give you wild berry.
These berries were not kept in cages,
they probably were wild.
(laughing)
- Next one.
- [Brendyn] Blood orange,
which is my favorite sorbet.
- Okay, I'm very confident.
I know what this is.
- Grapefruit. - Grapefruit.
- Blood orange. Oh.
(laughing)
- [Zach] Blood orange.
(ding)
- I literally had a blood orange
pasta dish last night.
- No!
- So I was like,
this tastes like last night.
- [Jen] I was so confident.
- I said nothing again.
(laughing)
- [Brendyn] Mango sorbet,
which is made with fresh mangoes.
- If this isn't what I think it is,
based on the color,
I will be furious.
(flames crackling)
- [All] Mango!
(ding)
- Yeah!
- [Brendyn] Limone, which is lemon sorbet
made with fresh lemon juice.
- I was gonna ask like,
is this a flavor of something you might make?
- It's not.
- Okay, well then I know what it is.
- I know what you were gonna say now.
- Yeah,
oh no!
- [All] Lime. - [Jen] Lemon.
- [Zach] Limone. (ding)
- What?!
- Jen!
Were you gonna say key lime pie?
- I was gonna say margarita.
- [All] Ooooh.
- Although that sounds like something
we should do.
- I was gonna say, yeah.
Pear and vanilla,
which is made with fresh pears and
vanilla from Madagascar.
- [Freddie] Wow.
- Whoa. - Oh.
- It looked like one thing,
but tastes like another.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- [Zach] You want a refresh?
- I need a refresh.
- [Zach] All right, ladies.
One, two, and three.
- Pear. - Vanilla bean.
- [Zach] It's pear vanilla.
- We all get half a point.
- Well, I didn't say anything, (ding)
I'm gonna be honest.
- So these are now all gelatos,
except for one is a sorbet.
We'll give you the heads-up
if they're combo flavors,
which there are quite a few in this section.
- Aw. - Okay.
- Level two.
- [Brendyn] We have cioccolato all'arancia,
which is dark chocolate with
candied orange rinds in it.
This is a combo flavor.
- Oh.
- Yeah, I love this.
- Can I get a second scoop?
- This is delicious.
- Of course. - Absolutely.
- I know what it is,
but can I have some more?
I am still crying
about a chocolate orange.
- You need my knife?
(laughing)
- One, two, three.
(cross talking)
(ding)
- [Zach] Dark chocolate orange.
- Yay!
- I didn't know that you liked those.
- It's her favorite Christmas thing.
- Oh I do remember that.
- Oh, the ones like, the peels?
- [Brendyn] Tiramisu, which is made with
classic ladyfingers that are dipped in
espresso made here at our Lavazza counter.
(cross talking)
- Am I the only one that got it right? - Tiramisu, yeah.
(ding)
- I said caramel.
- I said cheesecake.
- I said churro.
(laughing)
- [Brendyn] Menta e stracciatella,
which is mint chocolate chip.
Classic fior di latte gelato
with chocolate and mint syrup.
- It's a combo?
- [Brendyn] This is a combo, yes.
- I guess I should've known,
there's stuff in it.
(laughing)
- This is good, too.
- Oh this is so good.
- [All] Mint chocolate chip.
- Yeah, nailed it. (ding)
- What up?
If we were all wrong, that'd be so funny.
- This is a good day.
- [Brendyn] We have a banana chocolate sorbet,
which is like frozen bananas with
chocolate chips inside of it.
- Another two-for-one here.
- Okay.
- And this is our last official sorbet.
- Fantastic.
- [Zach] One, two, and three.
(cross talking)
- Oh no!
(laughter)
- Did you just list all the fruits?
- Red currant cherry?
- It's banana!
(ding)
- Yes, it is!
- It's chocolate banana.
- Yeah, banana chocolate chip.
And it has milk chocolate chips,
whereas all the other sorbets are totally vegan.
So we have to keep this one.
- Separate.
- [Brendyn] Caffe gelato, which is
fior di latte gelato and about 30 shots of espresso
from Lavazza in one tub.
This one is a single flavor.
- [All] Coffee.
- Or espresso.
(ding)
- Yeah, coffee, yeah.
- [Brendyn] Passion fruit gelato,
our most tropical flavor.
Made with fresh passion fruit.
- [Jen] Oh, whoa.
- I'm ready to go.
(cross talking)
- [Zach] Kristin, passion fruit. (ding)
- Wow.
- Didn't get it.
- You said lime?
(laughing)
- Wait, what'd you say?
- Lime.
(laughing)
- I had no (beep) idea.
- It was so sweet.
- Banana, again?
- [Brendyn] Cassis is black currant.
It's a seasonal flavor
we're using fresh black currant for.
This one is our newest flavor.
(cross talking)
- Cherry.
(ding) Damn it.
- Kristin with the black currant.
- What is it?
- Oooh. See, I don't know what currant tastes like.
- What is black currant?
Is it a berry?
- [Zach] It would be similar to like a blackberry, yes.
- I thought currant was like a spice.
(laughing)
- Coriander.
- [Mike] Or curry?
- No. I know what curry is.
(laughing)
- [Brendyn] Salted caramel,
classic butter caramel with a lot of sea salt
to flavor it for you.
This is a combination flavor.
Half found in nature.
- Breast milk.
(laughing)
(cross talking)
- It's actually salted caramel.
- So me and Fred are the closest.
- Dulce is caramel,
I just said it in a different language.
- We'll go (ding) halfs on those ones.
(record scratch)
(somber music)
- [Brendyn] Fiordilatte, which is flower of milks,
very classic gelato flavor,
tastes like sweet milk,
made from Straus Creamery.
- I have a guess, but it's weird.
- I'm gonna guess it too,
and I'm wrong too.
- I have a guess.
(cross talking)
- Condensed milk?
- It is milk.
- [Brendyn] Milk is actually correct.
- It's Straus Creamery milk.
- It's just milk?
- It is the base of most of our other flavors.
- Can I have a half for that?
(ding)
I love arguing my way into points.
(laughing)
- [Brendyn] Nocciola, classic gelato flavor,
made with hazelnuts from the Piedmont.
Our last section, found in nature.
- Here's my question:
Do we have to guess the - Exact?
- Italian word?
- No.
- [Brendyn] You get an extra 1/4 point if you do though.
- [Zach] Extra 1/4 point.
(cross talk)
- Wow, yeah nocciola, or hazelnut.
- Nocciola.
- I thought Nutella was the Italian phrase on that.
- Nutella, that doesn't count actually.
- I feel like Kristin could get a half.
(ding) Just take your half.
I think you get half.
- Okay, I'll take my half.
- I literally just said nuts.
- [Brendyn] Pistachio, made with pistachios
from Sicily.
- Uh, yeah.
- You loooove this flavor.
- I know I love this flavor.
- This is like one of your favorite flavors.
- Freddie tasting is a mood over there.
(sensual music)
I live for it.
(laughing)
- [All] Pistachio. - [Freddie] Nuts.
(record scratch)
(laughing)
- Wait, Freddie, what did you say?
- Nuts.
- Totally saw that coming.
I think you should get 1/4 point for that.
(ding) - This is the nut section,
you're just gonna keep saying nuts?
- It could be a walnut,
it could be peanut,
it could be any nut.
- Don't hate the player,
hate the game, Kristin.
- [Brendyn] Sicilian toasted almond,
made with almonds from Sicily.
That's my favorite flavor.
- [Zach] It is one flavor, but
the nature part of it
might have been conditioned by something else.
(cross talking)
- Corn.
- Almond. - Toasted almond.
(ding)
- Yay!
- Corn? - Corn?
- Corn?!
- [Brendyn] Cremino, which is hazelnut
mixed with gianduja.
Gianduja's a chocolate hazelnut syrup.
Similar to Nutella, but significantly better.
- I think I know what this is.
(laughing)
- You do know what it is.
(cross talking)
- Chocolate hazelnut, Nutella.
- [Zach] It's cremino, which is hazelnut
with a swirl of chocolate.
- I said chocolate hazelnut.
(laughing)
- [Brendyn] We have gianduja flavor,
which is chocolate flavored with hazelnut.
It is a combo.
(cross talking)
- Chocolate mousse.
- Chocolate hazelnut.
- Why do you get a half point, what'd you say?
- She said chocolate. - I said chocolate.
- I said chocolate mousse,
do I get a half point?
- Chocolate mousse is different.
- But it's chocolate flavored, yeah.
- Mousse is found in the wild.
(ding)
- Yeah.
- I like how half of this discussion
is us haggling over points.
(laughing)
- [Brendyn] Amarena, sour cherry.
Fior di latte gelato with sour cherries mixed in.
- This looks like cheesecake,
but I know it's not.
(cross talking)
- [Zach] Sour cherry. (dishes crashing)
- I said cherry milk.
(ding) - I said cherry and milk.
- I said milk cherry.
- Yeah, I think that all counts. - I said cherry vanilla.
- Aw, wait, Kristin.
(laughing)
- That's a half. That's a half.
- That's not a full point.
- [Brendyn] 70 percent chocolate,
which is our dark chocolate,
extremely creamy, very rich,
made with chocolate from Vankey,
which is a company from Italy.
(cross talking)
- Dark chocolate?
- [Brendyn] The sign reads,
Cioccolatto, (ding) 70 percent.
But it's our only solo chocolate flavor.
- Does ganache count?
- Ganache might be as much a point
as chocolate mousse was.
(record scratch)
- I didn't hear ganache, I didn't hear ganache.
- I said dark chocolate.
- I don't cosign ganache.
- I get a quarter.
- [Zach] No ganache there.
- Britt's like, uh huh, yeah, okay.
- The last two.
- Final two.
- Who will win?
- [Brendyn] Vanilla, which is made with
Madagascar vanilla beans.
(cross talking)
- [Zach] Vanilla, extra point for the region.
- Oh my God.
- What do you mean?
(ding)
- Vaniglia del Madagascar.
- Oh, yeah, would not have known.
- [Brendyn] Stracciatella, one of the most classic
gelato flavors.
Fiordilatte gelato with chocolate mixed in
as it churns.
- [Zach] And the last flavor?
One, two, three.
(cross talking)
Wait.
- [Chantel] Stracciatella.
- [Zach] Oh yeah. (ding)
- I thought you said banana again.
- I did, too.
- And then we have one more mystery item.
- You get 15 points for this.
- This is an example of our Prosecco float.
This is a flavor of sorbet that we haven't tried.
- So I did hear them talking about this earlier,
so I'm going to exclude myself from the guessing,
because I think it would be an unfair advantage
since I heard them talking about it.
But I will still indulge with the three of you.
- Should we do a cheers?
- Yes.
- [All] Cheers!
Salute!
- Yeah, they get it.
(laughing)
(dramatic music)
- I can't figure out what this is.
- Give us a countdown Zach.
- One, two, three.
- Strawberry. - Watermelon.
- [Zach] White peach. (ding)
- White peach.
- So this is our Bellini flavor,
which is white, traditionally,
white peach puree with Prosecco.
- Such a challenge.
- So fun.
- I guess I am the winner.
I don't wanna say, should we crown me?
So can one of you guys say it?
- I will say it, because I am the bigger person.
Yeah, you have to say it.
You want it, you gotta say it.
Say it, who won?
- Gimme my crown! (flames crackling)
- [Zach] The moment of truth.
(gasping)
- [Kristin] Oh my gosh.
- [Jen] That is so cute.
- Hand-fashioned by a very sleepy drag queen.
- She did it.
- [Jen] She did it.
- Wow. Oh my god.
(fairy tale music)
Thank you so much.
I just want world peace for everyone.
- Okay.
- Thank you so much for having us.
This was such a fun day.
We got to eat so much gelato.
- Grazia!
- Prego!
- Trying 28 flavors of gelato with Eataly.
- Lady tested.
- [All] Lady tasted.
- Ciao!
(easygoing music)
