- Good?
(mischievous music)
Hi, my name is Joe and today
we are making pizza blindfolded.
Jasmine is my coach and my eyes for today.
And the only rule is if I touch it I must use it.
- I've made pizza once, Joe.
- You've made pizza once,
but you know what goes on pizza.
- Oh definitely, pineapple.
- Oh, we're in trouble.
- Well, unfortunately there's no pineapple
on the table so--
- All right, we're safe then. - Today's your day.
- All right, we're good and everything else
probably belongs on a pizza, I imagine.
- Yes. - For the most part?
- Definitely. - Depending on what part
of the world you're in.
- You're right. - That's one way
to look at it, you've eaten plenty of pizza though.
- Yes.
- I've made plenty of pizza.
I feel like I can sense the pizza.
Are we ready?
- Ready.
(mischievous music)
- Shhh.
- All right, you ready to do this?
- Almost, almost.
- Almost.
(mischievous music)
- Okay I'm ready now.
You ready? - I'm ready.
- Okay, so the dough is right in front of you,
knead it.(laughing)
- Knead it.
- Is that a thing, that's a thing, right?
- We'll stretch it, - in the center
- Stretch it, is the word - Yes
we're looking for.
- [Jasmine] Stretch the dough.
- [Joe] Oh it's like a nice cold ball.
Do I flour or no?
- Go up forward a little bit.
On to your left, a little bit.
No, too much.
Yeah perfect, now go back towards your body,
just a little bit, a little bit less.
Yeah, go down.
Down, down, down, down, oh.
Okay now, towards your body a little bit.
Yeah that's it.
- Found it, okay.
Flour.
(laughing)
All right, let's see if I can do this without seeing it.
- Yes.
- How am I on size?
- It's pretty big and you're close
to splitting it in the middle.
- We don't wanna do that.
Here's my plate.
Put it there.
- You got a bit of a fat chunk hanging towards you, yeah.
- [Joe] Feel like I'm folded over a little bit here too.
- Just a little bit, but it looks fine.
- All right, we got a crust.
We are the size of the plate.
- That looks pretty darn good.
- [Joe] All right I feel pretty good about this.
Do you feel pretty good about this?
- I feel great about this.
Okay let's, raise your left hand.
And then go forward about five, six inches.
A little more. - I don't know how far that is
- Double that. (laughs)
Okay now go left,
more and then now stick your index finger downwards
so we avoid things.
Okay a little more to your left,
split the difference.
Now go straight down.
Yeah, all the way down.
Yeah perfect!
Pick up that bowl.
- [Joe] Am I in a bowl?
- You are in a bowl
but you can stop fingering that
- I can't, I don't know. (laughing)
- Like - I feel like if I move,
I'm going to touch everything around it.
- I'm pretty sure this is pizza sauce,
lets hope that isn't sosa.
You want to smell it?
- Pizza sauce - Oh yes!
Okay, I'm so sorry about your finger.
- It's all good, it's part of cooking. (laughs)
That's my best tool right there.
- Yeah - All right,
so this is gonna go on.
Is there a spoon?
- Perfect, that was the center.
Feel free to go a little more right.
You are now off the left crust.
Left side of the crust.
Maybe one more dollop, on the right side.
Yeah, that's perfect!
You're killing it, Joe!
I was like something's missing. (both laugh)
- I almost forgot.
A little help.
All right, and we're back.
- Okay, I think that's enough sauce.
Let's put the sauce down, maybe to your right.
- [Producer] Don't touch anything, okay?
- Is this the flour? - Put the bowl down.
Put the bowl down, and then push it.
Yeah nice, nice.
Okay less less, okay.
Woooooh.
- I need to do something about this. (both laugh)
- Lick it.
- [Producer] See if you can catch.
- Wow! (clapping)
You're so athletic!
- Yeah, the first time anyone's ever said that to me.
Next topping please.
- Alright, raise your right hand,
and, yes wonderful.
Forward, a lot,
a little less, and then go right.
Forward,
down and that's the cheese.
That's a lot, yeah.
Good good good. - I like a cheesy pizza
- [Jasmine] Yay.
- Am I over the center, here?
- Your are left of the center, just slightly.
That's a little, oh that's perfect, that's wonderful.
- I'm just going to go circular motions here.
- [Jasmine] Yeah, oh you dropped, all of it. (laughs)
- That's all right. - But you'll be able
to find it.
- [Joe] (laughs)It's not gone?
It's not gone forever? - It's just there.
And then go downwards a little bit.
A little less down.
Yeah, go left a little bit.
Oh okay, let's just fling it everywhere.
- [Joe] Each pizza is its own snowflake,
its own unique snowflake.
Alright next?
- Raise your hand,
your right hand above the pizza.
Uh huh, now go forward a little bit.
Oh nooooo, noooo!
- That was a little bit! - Nooo!
Dang it, I can't see height on this stupid monitor!
Okay what, damn it!
What is that? - What is this?
- Can you squeeze it into your face, and smell it a little.
- It's sweet
- Ho!
- Strawberry syrup?
- Oh my god,
this just took a turn. - Nice.
- Okay, just a little bit.
Sweet and savory is good.
Ah perfect, stop!
Oh my God! (laughs)
- Perfect a bon appetit.
- Beautiful!
It's actually very nice on camera, I will say.
Okay, let's raise your right hand again.
- Try that,
I'm going to go for it - A little higher,
and then to your right.
Slightly to you left, just a little bit.
Uh huh and then stick your middle,
your index finger - Not my middle finger
- Okay now point it downwards,
bring your finger towards your body.
A little bit to your right.
A little more.
A little less
- This is like a crane game
- Forward,
less,
down.
Towards your body a little bit!
Down down, all the way down.
Yeah perfect, maybe use the spoon.
- I don't know where the spoon is.
- Do you have any hangnails?
- No, we're good. - Okay cool.
- I'll wash my hands, what is this?
- Jalapenos, I don't want you
to burn your fingers. - Oh okay.
I like jalapenos, we're fine.
- [Jasmine] And then to your right, a little bit.
Uh huh. - Done?
- Yes, let's go for the pepperoni.
- Ooh, I like pepperoni
- Raise your right hand.
And then, flat over the table.
A little higher, towards the right.
No less, to the left again yeah and then forward.
A little less.
Split the difference.
Uh huh, to your right just a little bit,
yeah, and then now point your finger down,
and a little forward, yeah straight down.
Oh la, forward a little bit
(bleep) spoons, okay yeah down.
Yeah awesome, careful of that bottle over there.
Does that count, that better not count.
- I didn't touch anything,
I didn't touch anything!
- Good, oh my god I'm sweating!
Joe, you're doing great!
- It's very stressful.
This is the most stressful pizza I've ever made.
Just going off of instinct
on where this pepperoni should land.
- Yeah go right a little more when you go back
in the other, yes way right.
A little more right.
Okay, less right. (laughs)
- Okay, that's good, right?
That's a good laugh?
I did good?
- Yes, that's wonderful - Nailed it!
- Okay, beautiful!
Do you like olives?
- I love olives.
- Okay, let's go for the olives.
Left hand, flat over the table,
back towards your body.
Uh huh, and then stick your index finger out
to your right, a little bit.
And
a little less.
And then stick it down.
Oh my god, this is so hard, its so small. (laughs)
Ugh okay, towards you just a tiny bit.
Oh god, there's a spoon!
Okay, ooh
to your right a little more
And then, can you raise your wrist just a little bit?
Oh that's beautiful, okay, towards you.
To your left,
now,
to your left a little more.
Yes, straight down.
And then watch your thumb, it'll touch a spoon.
Uh huh. - Straight still?
- Yeah, straight down. - Still?
- Yeah.
Did you get it?
Did you get it? - Is that an olive,
that's an olive. - Yay!
- Whoo, all right, its like defusing a bomb.
- [Jasmine] I know.
- [Joe] Where's the pizza, here still?
- Yes. - All right,
we're gonna minimal olives. (laughs)
I didn't grab a lot. - Yeah, I think looks good.
I think we're good with just one more ingredient.
- All right.
I trust you.
- It's probably the most important part of this pizza.
Okay, raise your right hand.
Flat over the table,
forward, a little more, and then to your left,
a little little bit more to your left.
Less, and then stick your index finger down.
Yeah, go straight down, that's it.
Hold the bowl and grab some.
Its really important, you have to add a lot of this.
- Oh, I know exactly what these are.
- What is it?
- I can feel they're pineapples.
- The best part.
- [Joe] These are huge pineapples. (laughs)
- [Jasmine] I know, they're huge.
- Where did these come from?
- [Jasmine] Add some to your right.
Yes, this is a very left heavy pizza.
Like our company. - We'll scoot everything over.
Perfect! (both laugh) - Now its like
all on the right but I think its wonderful.
You can eat the left side.
- All right, is that it?
- I feel good about this!
- Do we have it? - We have it.
- Do we nail it?
- We did it. (laughs)
Its a pizza.
- That is the most unconfident
- [Jasmine] It looks like we murdered something.
- Really? - A little bit.
- Oh man, I felt really good about it. (laughs)
- [Jasmine] Honestly you did wonderful.
- Posing with the pizza.
- Hmm looks great. - Different angles.
- Pizza looks great, you look great.
Oh.
- All right, what's left to do?
Do we bake it?
- Lets bake it!
(clock ticking)
- Pizzas baked, Jasmine?
- Yes? - Come join us,
join me.
- [Jasmine] You did so good!
- [Joe] Time for the reveal?
- [Jasmine] Yes.
- Wow! - Good job, great!
- No way! - I know, it looks amazing.
- I did that blindfolded?
That's pretty impressive.
- Look how wet the pineapples are.
- [Joe] That's the only thing
that looks weird on there.
- [Jasmine] Really, look at the straw--
- You got that neon, neon pink strawberry sauce.
- Looks delicious.
You wanna do the honors? - Here we go, here we go.
Let me set you up.
We'll do a smaller.
- [Jasmine] Make sure you get pineapple.
- [Joe] Yeah I wanna make sure you get a pineapple
- [Jasmine] No, I wanna make sure you get pineapple
- [Joe] We'll give you the triple,
quadruple pineapple action there.
- [Jasmine] Yum.
- That's for you.
- It's sopping wet.
- Sopping wet.
You're ready, pizza cheers? - Ready.
- Yes, it broke.
- Look at that. (both laugh) - Oh no!
- You need a new slice.
Come on girl.
- Thank you. - I got you.
- Cheers! - Pizza cheers!
- Cheers!
- Its a blindfolded pizza cooking.
- Mmmm!
- And that's a pizza pie.
- Your a true chef.
- Yeah, I would do that again.
That's how we should do them all in the restaurant,
just blindfolded cooks.
Tell them, go ahead and make a pizza.
- That would be a show and a dinner.
- That would be a dinner and a show.
You want some extra strawberry sauce, on yours?
- Sure, why not?
- Oh yeah.
- Yum. - I'll do it too.
- Oh yo. (laughs)
- I gotta know what this taste like.
- Mmm. - That's gross. (laughs)
- Yeah, so gross.
- Well, I think we did an excellent job as a team.
- Me too, I think we should open up a restaurant.
- Blindfolded cooking.
- Yeah, lets do it.
