- If Jack in the Box and Panda Express made a baby,
how would it taste?
- Let's talk about that.
(bright upbeat music)
(liquid bubbling slowly)
(UFO whirring rapidly)
(upbeat bright music ending)
(flames igniting swiftly)
"Good Mythical Morning."
- And it's also a beautiful morning for some menu merging.
- Uh-huh.
- And this edition is gonna get more chaotic than ever.
But it's been a hot minute since we did one of these,
so as a refresher, we are gonna be smashing together items
from the Jack in the Box menu and the Panda Express menu
into one big Jack in the Panda food extravaganza.
("Mythical" Crew laughing amusingly)
- And the Jack in the box menu is already really eclectic.
They have egg rolls.
- Oh, yeah.
- And it doesn't make any sense, but-
- Who cares?
- I do love them. - Yes.
- Dipped in ranch.
So, why not go all the way with a Panda Express merge?
- Oh, no reason not to.
It's time for "Menu Mashup!
Jack in the box and Panda Express Edition."
(heavy rock music)
- Alright, in each round,
we're gonna try a Jack in the box forward mashup dish
with Panda Express injected into it.
- Yeah.
- And also, the reverse.
- Right.
- A Jack in the Box dish...
I said that twice, but you know what I mean.
- Well, but we know what you mean.
("Mythical" Crew laughing amusingly)
- Well, we're gonna choose the one that we think
should go on the Jack in the Panda menu.
- Right.
- Only one can go-
- Because that is what the restaurant will be called-
- Yeah, it is. - When we open it.
Well, I don't think we have that power,
but when someone does.
- Trevor, what are these, dude?
- [Trevor] So, that Jack in the Box on Rhett's side
is a Honey Walnut Shrimp Onion Ring.
So, I took a couple of onion rings,
and then we put shrimp in between 'em, and then we fried it.
And then, there's a honey walnut sauce
with some walnuts on top.
- So, it's just walnut like a buncha shrimp inside there?
- [Trevor] Yeah!
- And an onion.
- [Trevor] Two.
- Oh my!
How'd you get a shrimp that was a ring?
- [Trevor] Well, we blended it and then put it in there.
(Trevor laughing gently)
- Ooh, I don't wanna think about blending shrimp.
- So, that doesn't exist in the wild?
There's not a shrimp that has turned on itself.
- Shrimp are already curved though.
- [Trevor] Well yeah, but they're not big enough.
(Trevor laughing amusingly)
- I've seen some pretty big shrimp.
- [Trevor] We couldn't get those ones.
(Trevor laughing amusingly)
("Mythical" Crew laughing amusingly)
- Alright.
- I don't know how you got a bunch of shrimp
that look like one shrimp, but you did.
- Over here, we've got egg rolls,
which they have it Jack in the box,
but this is the Panda Express side.
- [Trevor] Yeah,
so these are the Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger Egg Rolls.
We took all the trappings of a bacon ultimate cheeseburger,
minus the bun, and put it in a egg roll.
- Oh my goodness. - So, this is kinda like...
They have something like this at Cheesecake Factory.
- But, it doesn't look like that on the inside.
This looks like
it's actually a layered cheeseburger in there, which is fun.
Is there tomato peeking out of this?
- [Trevor] No toma... Maybe.
("Mythical" Crew laughing amusingly)
- Mmm!
- No to maybe?
("Mythical" Crew laughing amusingly)
- That's my favorite way to respond to anything,
"No to maybe."
- That's pretty good though.
- They're both really tasty things.
But, this makes me think
that maybe nature has done something new.
- Yeah, it's really strange, but I like it.
- [Rhett] It's something that we like.
- Uh-huh.
- I mean, look at this shrimp.
- Especially after eating more.
Who would know that that's ground up and reconstituted?
- Nobody would know.
- And that's the spirit of fast food anyway.
We're picking this one to go on the menu!
(heavy rock music returns)
- Trevor, what did you do?
- [Trevor] So that one on your side, Rhett,
is the Black Pepper Angus Steak Jumbo Jack.
So, we wok-seared some sirloin steak with string beans,
onions, red bell peppers, and mushrooms,
and a savory black pepper sauce on a bun
with the burger toppings.
- Wow.
So, it's got like a little bit of an Asian taste
to a burger.
- [Trevor] I would say so.
- Hmm!
Havin' a burger
where like the meat pieces just fall off individually-
- That's what's happening to me.
- Is a challenge.
- Taste wise, I'm very, very pleased.
That's some tender sirloin.
- I don't love it,
but I have high hopes about orange chicken nuggets.
What else is in this bowl, homie?
- [Trevor] Yeah, so-
- Oops, dropped my phone.
- [Trevor] Ah, freak.
So, we have some Jack in the Box chicken nuggets
that have been coated in orange sauce.
And then, we made a fried rice that's not...
There's no rice in it, it's just chopped up curly fries
with the fried rice mix-ins.
- Oh no, it isn't.
- Chopped up curly fries with corn, peas, and carrots?
- [Trevor] Yeah. (Trevor laughing gently)
- I'm gonna eat one by itself,
and then I'm going back in for rice and the thing.
- I'm going in all together.
- Oh, man.
- Orange chicken nugget.
- It kind of tastes like
just a really good piece of orange chicken.
- Definitely a win.
Look at the inside of that Jack in the Box nugget though.
- I gotta get a lot, that's so good.
- I mean, you'd think that was just powder.
- It's chicken powder.
(coughing gently)
But, it's tender and juicy.
- It's so soft. (coughing gently)
- And you made it even juicier by putting some sauce on it.
- This round is hurtin', I'm just gonna be honest.
- You don't like that?
What's wrong with you, man? - No.
Because the nuggets are-
- You havin' a bad day?
- The nuggets are not doin' it for me, dude.
- I like both of these.
- I'm gonna vote for this one though
because it jumps off the menu.
- And it what?
- It jumps into your mouth.
- And it what?
You can whisper it.
- It Jacks in the Panda.
- Okay, there we go.
It's goin' on the menu!
(heavy rock music returns)
- Batten down the hatches for a meatsplosion.
Good gracious, look at this!
We gotta start over here, Trevor!
- Wait, why don't-
- I don't even care, look at this!
- But, I think you wanna follow this up with that.
- But, it's too late!
I've already been like, "Look at this!"
- But, I'm not eating it first.
- Look at this!
It's a taco! - I'm not eating it first.
I'm eating it last.
- And what is it?
- [Trevor] What do you want me to do?
(Trevor laughing nervously)
- Tell me what this is!
- Tell us about it, but I'm not gonna eat it first.
- [Trevor] Okay, so that's a Chow Mein Taco.
So, what we've done is we've taken the chow mein
from the Panda Express, and then we made it into a circle,
and then deep fried into a taco shell,
and then we put the taco stuff inside it.
- You folded the circle over?
- [Trevor] Yeah, we did. (Trevor laughing proudly)
- And then, on the inside-
- [Trevor] You got your beef, your lettuce, some hot sauce-
- Don't make that face.
- Okay.
("Mythical" Crew giggling gently)
- We'll come back to it and eat it. (laughing happily)
- [Trevor] Okay. (Trevor laughing gently)
- I mean it's gotta be... I mean, look at it.
I mean, this is a breakfast burrito.
- [Trevor] Yeah,
that's the Beijing Beef Meat Lover's Breakfast Burrito.
You got scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, ham,
Beijing beef chunks, red bell peppers, onions,
and cheddar cheese, and some fire roasted salsa on the side.
- Fire roasted salsa.
And that fire roasted salsa
is just some salsa that they sell.
- [Trevor] Yeah.
- Hmm.
- It sounded like that should've been a, "Yeah, maybe."
- [Trevor] Yeah, exactly. (Trevor laughing gently)
- It's very Panda infused.
- [Rhett] But, no Panda in there at all actually.
- I just really thought I'd be sayin',
"Well, it's a breakfast burrito,"
but the Beijing beef, it really, really is the headline.
- And if you get some Beijing beef
along with your pork sausage at the same time-
- Mm-hmm.
- Did you do that, have you experienced that?
- Mm-hmm.
- That's a really nice little winning combination.
- It makes it really sweet.
I like it.
- I'm definitely diggin' it,
but this is something real special.
- I am scared of this.
I mean,
this is the jungle you might not make yourself out of,
look at that thing.
You get lost in a taco.
Where'd to begin?
- What's it gonna sound like when we bite it?
- I'm gonna pull it apart-
- Oh, of course you are.
- So that I make sure that I get all of the good stuff
in my first bite.
- Well, it's a little greasy.
- You still deep fried the whole thing?
- [Trevor] Yeah.
- Just like at Jack in the Box.
- I can tell.
- [Trevor] Yeah.
- It's fun.
- Did you feel ashamed when you did that?
- [Trevor] Yeah, for sure.
- It's scary lookin' in a good way.
Points for that.
- Oh, I got to some deep-fried lettuce,
that was pretty nice.
("Mythical" Crew giggling gently)
- Again, that's how they do it.
They put everything in the taco and they-
- I'm not jokin', I actually kinda like it.
- I like this one better.
It's totally crazy.
- I think it's more unique,
and I think it looks like somethin'
that if you do a commercial about that-
- It jumps off the menu.
- This is a novelty item.
This is something that...
You eat this, and you have to immediately text someone.
- Mm-hmm.
- You know what I'm saying?
You text a relative- - Your doctor.
Your cardiologist.
- Or yeah, potentially a doctor.
To tell 'em to...
You know, you write home about it.
That's the new write-homing about it,
writing home about it is texting.
- Writing homing about it.
- You writing homing about it.
- I'm comin' in, doc!
- Okay,
I still wanna eat this 'cause I just like eating things.
- Okay, you just gonna go back to it and grab it?
- Period.
If you put something in front of me, I like to eat it.
- So, we agree that this wormy-taco monstrosity-
- We have to work on the verbiage that you're using,
but we're putting it on the menu!
(heavy rock music returns)
Before we have dessert, you might have noticed
that we've got some very, very nice looking travel mugs
that we've been sippin' on.
- Yup.
- This is the official Floor is Lava Mythical Travel Mug.
- Very cool.
You gotta get yourself one of these.
- I mean, look,
this has got the mythical "M" like a lava slide.
- It's the set has been taken over.
- I mean, there's Chase, there's me,
there's Stevie, there's you,
and there's Cotton Candy Randy.
And then, there's Josh.
That's his hand, he's drowning in the lava.
Sorry, Josh. (laughing gently)
- This thing is stainless steel-
- You'll be Okay.
- 20 ounces of pure travelness.
And it's got, it's got a straw that comes in it,
but also you can open and close it
if you wanna have that non-spillable nature.
- Non-spillable nature.
- It's got a non-spillable nature, mythical.com.
- Okay, Trevor.
What are you trying to do to us now?
- Churros?
- [Trevor] Over on your side, Rhett,
we got the Cream Cheese Rangoon Churros.
So, those are churros that have been stuffed
with cream cheese and crispy wonton pieces,
and then coated in cinnamon sugar.
- Ooh, rangoon!
- Rangoon.
No crab, though?
- [Trevor] No.
- Good.
- [Trevor] Why would we do that?
- Yeah, I don't know.
- Yeah.
And then, we got shakes over here.
What makes it Pandaized?
- [Trevor] Oh, so that's a Fortune Cookie Milkshake.
So, we've taken some milk
and we've infused it with fortune cookies,
and then added some vanilla ice cream
and blended it with that milk and more fortune cookies.
And I think there's a little treat in the straw for ya.
- Oh!
- Oh no, you didn't.
- Well, let's start over here and rangoon it.
Dank it-
- And sank it.
(crunching gently)
That's a lovely taste.
- I mean, a churro, when done exactly right,
has like a gooey center, but it's never gooey enough.
- It's better.
Like, I always think that about churros,
I'm like, "Man, if this had cream cheese inside of it,
it'd be better."
- Good gosh, this is good.
Good gracious, this is good, dude!
- That's decadent, man.
- This is amazing.
I'ma save that and I'm gonna eat the rest of it.
- See, that's what you do, you save things.
Hmm.
- I'm like a chipmunk!
- I just see that there's more and I'll come to it later.
- Alright, so how do we get...
I can see that there's a fortune at the end of this.
(laughing gently)
Do I just suck it out and like, read it in my esophagus?
- [Trevor] Yeah, suck away, man.
- It'll come out?
- [Trevor] I don't know. (Trevor laughing amusingly)
- No, I just sucked the milkshake through it.
- Mmm.
- [Trevor] What if you did a pinch maneuver,
maybe pinch it up?
- Oh.
- Pinch it up?
Oh, yes.
- It pinches up?
("Mythical" Crew giggling gently)
- I pinched it up. - It pitches up.
- Alright, so let me see what this is.
- I've already tasted a little bit,
and I have an opinion, but I'll hold.
- "Take the writers to Chuck E. Cheese, and you will find
prosperity and happiness the rest of your days."
("Mythical" Crew laughing amusingly)
The writers wanna go to Chuck E. Cheese?
- "Good fortune comes to those
who give out their social security number on YouTube."
(laughing loudly)
("Mythical" Crew laughing amusingly)
- I'll tell ya-
- Writers!
- I thought they were easy to please,
but then they're just morally corrupt.
- Mmm.
("Mythical" Crew laughing amusingly)
- Let's taste it.
(slurping thoughtfully)
- The taste is interesting.
Because when I eat a fortune cookie,
I often think to myself,
"This is one of the worst desserts that exists."
("Mythical" Crew laughing amusingly)
- And you put a lot of it in this milkshake.
- [Trevor] Yeah.
- Almost to the point where-
- It's just like eating soggy fortune cookies.
- Yeah, it's horrible, it really is.
I actually thought it could be great-
- I wanted it to be good.
- And then, I tasted it,
and I was like, "I was absolutely wrong."
("Mythical" Crew giggling gently)
I was wrong to get my hopes up about this.
- I keep trying to make it good.
- It feels like I'm like slurping paper mache.
Like, that's how thick with nasty tasteless cookie it is.
It's just... I don't even wanna go back.
But this, I'm gonna go back.
- Oh, goin' back to this?
- This is the best churro I've ever had.
This is an easy one, this has to go on our menu.
- Strong words, but I completely agree.
- Churro rangoon, man.
- Man, that's good!
- [Link] Put it on the menu!
- [Rhett] Our complete Jack in the Panda menu mashup
