- This is phenomenal.
It's a little crowded in the bowl
and it spilled on my Tim's, my formal shoes.
I'm from Brooklyn, my formal shoes are Tim's.

- Number one looks more brothy.
- Visually already, the color palette of my hands.
- Now first impressions, I love when a soup
has like a skin on top.
It makes me feel comfortable (chuckles).
- I don't know enough about chicken and dumplings.
The texture is kinda just perfect for my grandparents.
- Hmm, that's very good.
- I'm getting a lot of chicken, a lot of chicken stock,
a lot of chicken flavor.
It's not too salty but it's got a hint of salt.
- That's really good, actually.
I would have this all weekend if I'm sick.
- Everything's working together,
it's like one, it tastes uniformly as one,
not as like separate stuff.
It's all really delightful.
- I wish that there was a little bit
more flavor to this chicken and dumpling.
It's like a little bit like chicken soup, if you would.
- A boiled chicken is rather boring
without any seasoning on it.
In the context of that soup, that's really delightful.
- The doughiness part, I'm still on the fence.
(slurping)
You getting that slurp?
- Number two is a little thicker.
There's more stuff in here.
- Number two looks spicier somehow,
there's paprika in there.
- A little veggie, dack, look, I'm doing it.
- It has a lot more than the first dish.
- This is good, I like the addition of the carrot
with a little bit of celery maybe.
- It's really weird, as much as I was hating
on the undercooked doughy parts of that,
I kinda miss that here.
- Because there's so much in here,
there's like less room for liquid.
I mean if you're a soup, I'm here for some liquid,
I'm here for a mixture.
- I don't enjoy this dumpling.
It's breaking apart, it's not holding,
it's breaking apart like flour, it's just breaking apart.
Just with a small pinch, I don't even have to chew it.
- The color is better here,
there's more cohesive flavors in there,
but it's all window dressing.
This is a blanket in a bowl,
so I'm going to pick number one.
- Yeah, I definitely like number one
better than number two.
- If I would have to choose the dumpling itself,
I don't like either
but I'll choose number one over number two.
