Aw, yeah! Peanut butter cup, Doritos sausage, car panini. Now let's crack a
Cadbury egg over the whole thing. I'm just gonna use my spare glove compartment
underwear as a napkin. I can't believe Randy Quaid gets to eat
like this every day! Hey what's up guys welcome back to Binging with Babish
we're this week we're taking a look at Peters car panini by popular demand, and
while we've got all the ingredients on hand wait a moment, we need something
else to be a little bit more accurate. This is a car panini after all not a
Babish home laboratory panini. So with great difficulty we're going to wrangle
our ingredients, and head on out into the great outdoors. But not the great
outdoors as you might imagine it no no, we're cooking in my actual car which
like all of my possessions I happily sacrifice for science. So let's get all
situated in our makeshift kitchen here and let's get our ingredients going.
We've got Vienna sausages in the can. Make sure you drain off that sausage
juice. Nice, and the next up we have to butter our bread. Now I know that Peter
didn't butter his bread, but I can't imagine a panini without buttered bread
I mean come on, why else try and make a panini? So...
Otherwise we're remaining strictly faithful to Peter's recipe. So next up
we've got a layer of peanut butter cups, and then a layer of crushed Doritos. To
me they look like Nacho Cheeseier Doritos from the clip. I'm sorry my hands
in the way let's try doing a one-handed crumble...perfect. And last up we have the
Cadbury egg which was very hard to find this time of year and, would not crack
like a traditional egg. So we're just gonna sort of mash it in there and then
place the buttered top half of our sandwich onto the top of our sandwich,
and ready our panini press. Now I should not have to tell you that you should not
try this at home, or in your car, or anywhere. Not only is this really gross
but it's also a multitude of fire hazards, and you will inevitably spill
all your toppings on your nice leather upholstery. Don't spill it, don't spill it!
Oh God I spilled it... Alright let's try that one more time this time taking the
whole panini press down to make sure nothing ends up on your car, just your
soft human body. Not only does Peter do a sort of pull apart cross-section like
this, he applies his spare glove compartment underwear as a napkin, so
I'll do the same, and let's see how many bites I can eat of this thing. Here's one,
and chewing...chewing a little bit more, and that's enough. I don't know how you
guessed but this is a really gross sandwich, so let's see if we have better
luck back in the lab. Same procedure here just buttering the bread and topping
with gross stuff, and then breaking our Cadbury egg into fours to even the load on
the top layer of bread. Then maybe let's try a slightly better panini press, maybe
that'll make the difference. You may notice how exquisitely careful I'm being.
That's knowledge only gained from dumping the bowels of a junk food
sandwich into one's own car. We've got some nice grill marks which is helped by
not having a windshield in the way. Look at that, this thing must weigh like a solid
pound and a half, and at last we can get a proper cross-section. Look there's a
little Cadbury egg stretch. Eww, gross. You can see my hesitation and having to take
my third and final bite of this horrible horrible thing in one day. A couple of
courtesy chews, and let's spit it out because it's really really disgusting.
And I have to admit I'm stumped. Normally I try to make a quote/unquote "good
version" of every gross food I make on the show, but I can't figure it out.
That's where you come in. Try to make a half-way palatable version of this
sandwich. Take a picture, tag me on Instagram hashtag i don't know, #BabishPanini?
The winner I choose win a chef's knife, and we'll have their recipe
featured on a three million subscriber episode. Good luck you guys this one is a
doozy! And now it's time to give it a Doug Score. Starting with the weekend
categories in styling, this sandwich looks pretty good, but not great it's
nothing special or iconic and it gets a 4 out of 10. Next up is acceleration,
which is virtually non-existent, and it gets an automatic 1 out of 10.
Handling is abysmal. This sandwich deteriorates almost instantly thanks to
all the chocolate and sausage, and it gets a 2 out of 10. Cool factor is low.
Family Guy doesn't have the comedic pedigree it had in seasons 1 through 4,
and while this is a standout episode for its lack of Manatee jokes, it still only
gets a 3 out of 10. Importance is a bit higher this is the first Babish
episode to feature absolutely zero actual cooking technique, and while
that's reprehensible it's at least a milestone, and it gets a 5 out of 10,
for a total weekend score 15 out of 50. Right between the Land Rover Evoque, and
the Yugo GV. Next up are the daily categories starting with features, and
let's face it this is not a well-equipped sandwich.
It lacks even the most basic roughage, and cheese toppings standard on most
modern sandwiches and gets a 2 out of 10. Comfort is decent, it feels inoffensive
in the eaters hand and gets a 5 out of 10.
Quality is low. These are gas station ingredients thrown together almost
spitefully and it gets a 1 out of 10. Practicality is also surprisingly low.
Despite the ubiquity of most of its ingredients I nearly electrocuted myself
making a panini press function in my car and the sheer seasonality of Cadbury
eggs gives us a 2 out of 10. Value is also not a strong point even though this
sandwich cost less than two dollars to make if you buy it in bulk you could
spend your money much better elsewhere from a sheer caloric / a survival
standpoint it gets a 3 out of 10. Add it all up in the total Doug score is
28 out of 100 besting only the Trabant and the BMW Isetta and, inexplicably
worse than the Hummer H2.
