$207 Popeye’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich Taste Test | Fancy Fast Food

what's the smoke i don't know smoke [Music] here we are what do you want to get i was going to do the spicy chicken sandwich i was thinking i usually get classic well do you want to be adventurous and go spicy it's not too spicy right it's not too spicy it's just nice all right maybe we got two spicy chicken sandwiches please anything else real i don't want popcorn shrimp i'm hungry popcorn yeah oh yeah oh yeah but can we also add an or a quarter pound of popcorn shrimp we just ordered a quarter pound of shrimp and i look over here and these people are working out this is giving me a crisis of conscience we get out and do some push-ups no spicy chicken salad thank you where's that shrimp the shrimp come in a yeah how is it hot i'm gonna trim leave it in the back seat so it can perfume the car can i put it on the curb i'm just gonna put it on the curb put the shrimp on the curb it tastes a lot better than it smells it really does that is a chicken sandwich it's a good looking sandwich i'm just gonna go right in very fresh they got the thick pickles the really soft and pillowy brioche bun that spicy mayonnaise got like the random dust in it that you can see yeah flavor coming in there and then the chicken it's so well brined this is like pretty close to a perfect chicken sandwich how do you think we should make this fancy we should probably get one of those breasts that they make in a petri dish because i think those are really pricey right now i don't think we can do lab-grown meat yet i don't know if we have the technology or the resources to do that oh but i mean like we could pivot and get another fancy bird i'm thinking we'd do something like goose something like duck penguin do you know penguins make milk no we've tried to get penguin milk for the show turns out we cannot get penguin milk sorry everybody for that i have an idea is it that you were gonna invite yourself over to my house that was part of the idea yeah let's not yeah we no we don't that was a stupid idea listen i didn't think so um so we're just gonna go back to the kitchen or not do you wanna grab like some ice cream or no but i'll get the shrimp that i left on the curb thank you i actually i do want that shrimp okay i have successfully dismembered this turkey and now i'm going to hello i was wondering why you left sweet i don't know what you want me to say dude i no i don't all right so you're gonna be my fat guy for this so we need to take all these goose fat yeah we broke down this goose now we need to render all this goose fat gee surprise for their fat i got to figure out a way to be comfortable in the kitchen do you want gloves i have gloves like yeah i don't want to touch this yeah well the gloves are there for you and then something's hot over here that's cooking do you want me to like me more than rhett i like whichever co-founder of the company is closer to me at the time well that sounds honest and i do seem to recall a clip of me in stick figure form dead now the second myth revolving turkey juiciness this was uh this was a personal note never mind it seemed like it was me i have nothing but respect for rachel maddow but in this she seemed to have suffered an accident anyone could have that joke that's not that's never holding kind of over it all right this goosebumps we're gonna fry this you see it's a little thicker on one end so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna kind of bludgeon it with my hands is that a palm heel strike that's a palm heel strike do you wanna palm heel strike yeah so you wanna kind of set in your haunches and make sure you strike vertically down and you get into the strong part of the heel because this this can break bones right there you don't want that i thought it was going to bounce like a wrestling ring no no this is solid faster it's got to be quick and away you got to drive through punch through the target stop he's had enough he's had enough so i'm going to take the smoking gun and i'm going to add some mesquite wood chips to it and then i'm also going to take smell that just like really huff it really like waft is that the tea yeah so this is jasmine green tea i'm going to sprinkle that right on there pretty subtle this is the most subtle thing that's going to happen i remember this man yeah we played with this before we have it's been a long time though and we got a fancy dome since we played with it last that's exciting i'm over here in fat zone yeah i just get to watch you do the fire part you're doing great so see we got the smoke coming out get that smell oh yeah good oh boy so now i'm just gonna shove this so you're trying to make the goose smell like tea hopefully what's happening in there we can't see the prestige i have my knees man i'm gonna take our cajun seasoning and i'm just gonna rub that all over this i'm gonna give you the thumbs up while you're doing it all right now i'm gonna take a sous-vide bag i'm not gonna lie i'm covered i'm covered in duck bread there should have been like a hand washing beat at some point smell that this is this is nice that's first of all you're not saying it right it's smell it at now you try smell of that that's it we're just gonna shove some of that laughing on there yeah this is the boil bag yeah yeah it's the bowl bag so now we're just gonna take this shove it into our vacuum sealer and we're going to sous vide this so it should break down all that into muscular fat and we're going to turn it into a sandwich [Music] all right so we got this nice and sealed so that's ready on the sous vide machine my hands have not been this slick since i delivered a baby goat you delivered a baby goat without giving me that baby goat for food oh was it a pet goat was it an eating goat it was all a joke i want the goat i've seen a cow being delivered do you mean like delivered from grace delivered from the from the bottom of the mountain my brother used to tell me that i was birthed from the bottom and i believed him 12 years old he said that you know this is normally where babies come from but not you you came from the bottom i'm assuming that everything i do is going to be hot swapped with something you've already done no no this is looking good though i mean you see how much liquid fat we got right like this that is yeah that is just pleasant it's going to kind of base that so this is what we're going to deep fry in we got it it keeps shutting off what's happening here well you gotta you gotta hold your mouth right click close it's a saying it's not that you're doing anything wrong it's just that it just isn't working it's kind of a way to say that you're not doing anything wrong but just keep doing that but have more confidence how am i supposed to be confident if i'm not in a crop top here you just gotta hold your mouth right there you go all right so this is going to sous vide we're going to get that cooked and then you're going to continue to render that down and now we can start cooking other things what do you want to make are we concerned that we're cooking in just a plastic trough yes like you said you wanted to pour milk listen i know what this is if there's anything i'm good at in the kitchen actually there's three things one is pouring good two is mixing and three is walking across it to get a drink out of the fridge i would love all three of those happening right now because if i don't get a lacroix in the next 15 minutes i'm going to faint i can mix with the best of them man you know all right so sound of a blender so wrong button you're off to a terrible start you talked such a big game you're like the guy that shows up to the pickup basketball game and he's got like the 19 sweatbands on you're like oh this guy better be good and then you see his first warm-up shot and you're like i'm avoiding that guy so as you can see we have i don't know what's 20 quail egg yolks in here at least 85. 46. seven quails so first we're we're doing the holidays i'll let just cram don't cram my hand near a blade though i'm helping you if you have to say i'm helping you're not helping you're gonna take the goose that and you're gonna take this off who needs this uh yeah that's probably fine all right so i need to slowly stream in that goose back to this and it's gotta be slow because we're trying to create an illustration this is essentially a hollandaise we're taking a hot melted fat and we're trying to emulsify that into the protein of these quail egg yolks there you go and i'm going to gradually increase the speed and then it might start spraying yolk literally everywhere that seems to be like it is going to be the case uh what do we do all right what do we do where's the lid all right slowly assuming that he's got to go it's got to go we're going to be covered in egg yolk it doesn't matter because we still good you said it so good just go out the fat's hot wait just go i don't know what to tell you i don't know what to tell you it's going everywhere it's working you think i'm slow i know i was i was going to go fast stop it stop the duck fat stop the fat what what all the fats in there what's the smoke i don't know okay i think it's done so the sauce is a little bit broken but if you ever have a hollandaise break all you got to do is strain that off and you can whisk in another egg yolk but in the meantime which one's this try this i don't even know what this is i don't know if it's hot is it hot it's hot oh ho ho ho so hot yeah i forgot so this is rakoto so this is like you didn't forget it's getting hotter it's caught up in the moment so we're going to take this is our spicy sauce that's two strikes the first one was all this like over intensity and then the second thing is the feeding me the hot thing oh this is really good though try this one this is a he made ourselves so peru right peru is the birthplace of chili peppers it's hotter than the first one no it's good it's good it's good i can feel my hair growing yeah yeah that's good that's good man that gives you the adrenaline you need try that one i don't know what any of these i haven't had any of these i got these imported from peru they're like pretty new to me that one's really nice that one's really nice we're gonna add some of that in there yeah yeah good like it's so spicy you didn't want the spicy chicken sandwich to begin with but i'm making you whose head were you imagining in your hands this one looks real dark try this one try this one try this one link you have to do it this is this is what it means to be a chef take it i feel like harry potter feeding dumbledore no harry no more mr dumbledore you've got a drink that's what harry potter sounds like in my head so that is a dried chili so that's going to add a ton of flavor i just splashed some of my eyes i don't know what's happening anymore i like that a couple minutes ago all right i'm like i asked him to cool down i keep taking sports in my pocket take that no no i don't want that yeah it cools it down it's not it's an old chef trick it's an old show i know it's down what is it it's liver it's fancy link eat the fancy juice you don't like that i'm walking across the kitchen i hear like a snack pack there's nothing in here except nasty stuff hey don't stock the fridge with drinks when we shoot only when you shoot we got warm diet red bulls or nothing yeah this is not a functional kitchen there's no glasses no fire extinguishers all right so i'm going to take some of this liver i'm going to add it to that a little bit of that cajun seasoning season up a little bit of salt i'm trying my best and you're throwing me under the bus sipping a bowl of milk like a small cat what's happening i was trying to cook man here we're gonna cook this look at that look at that look at that we did it all right so i think our spicy gooseberry hollandaise is done just one more this doesn't have to be for the video there's nothing for me i need some milk these are hot what do you which side did you drink out of i'm not that's not a good example is it you have another bowl here this this has goose fat in it whatever goose fat and milk that's actually really good it tastes like popcorn all right so what i'm going to do is i'm going to use a dough cutter to divide this in half your fingers no there's dough cutters yeah now you just make the final slice see and then right in half so what we're going to do now is we're going to turn these into locks we're doing a braided challah right this is a holiday you're trying to divide this into three equal logs my lips are still burning from that hot stuff you that's good that raises your adrenaline that gets you ready for baking some bread we're gonna roll it out a little bit we want these to be about 12 inches long and then we're gonna braid these together you know what a braid right i know how to braid in my mind you're like braiding lily's hair every morning no no no she is uh 16 years old she's too cool for me to does she help her style anything i braid uh christy's hair do you when she's sleeping i sneak over to her side of the bed and i braid her hair if she found out she'd probably uh be creeped out romantic yeah yeah no because i also unbraid it she never knows it happens i'm like one of those like elves that makes shoes yeah yeah yeah yeah i'm braiding my wife's like one of those um what are they called uh that's like psychopaths oh see look i go yeah we're doing it yeah maybe i'll push on that a little bunching this has to turn into a sandwich at some point i'm not super confident right now i've messed up a fancy chicken sandwich with you before wave form do you remember the fancy chick-fil-a we did that i think this may be the first time we haven't actually made it better we did that like years ago you you me you and rhett these are tall oh is that the one where it was the picture and i was down like this that's the meme i did not know that you were involved in that i just thought that was me being famous and a meme i was staring at you and rhett the same way you were staring at that sandwich i was like three feet away just like wow but they cropped you out of them right yeah they dropped me out of the lot that means that's okay what i'm gonna do here is braid this yeah because it's not hair i don't know how to i actually don't know is this right i'm just gonna kind of twist it like what is it maybe if i close it here i think you just gotta like put one over one under so it's like thank you this is such a good husband this father this one six children so well and then supported and then this goes over that by you as a partner and that goes over that marriage okay i figured it out oh that's that looks really good that looks really good what did you do you wrote i don't know i was christy in that moment yeah just kind of coiled it in and then at the end there's gonna be a little bit of overlap and then you just kind of tuck it underneath do i want to make it layered maybe okay yeah and then just tuck it underneath we're going to take some scallions we're going to mix that that looks wow that looks way better than mine i actually feel proud you should be that's going to be really i think that's going to be the beauty that's the only way we go now we're taking scallions goose fat and a little bit of that cajun seasoning can't get away from the goose fat why would you want chocolate yeah you do lather it up and goose that it's warm it's warm hot goose fat it warms the nethers this looks good man this looks really good so we got to let this proof for another 15 minutes i'm just going to wrap it in some plastic wrap and then we're going to pop that in the ice fridge but what's the fridge but hot uh microwave jacuzzi microwave i call them sous chef mike microwave sous chef mike we actually have him on the payroll though in case anything goes wrong okay wow i was right oven oven oven action i need the action i need people to say action they never say action i need action actually okay so link you may have thought the most dangerous part was streaming hot duck fat into a blender without a lid but no that's that's stupid because what we're doing is worse now so i need you to take this kataifido right if you like raw dough eat that oh really this is essentially shredded filo dough it's mainly used in middle eastern pastry called kanafe oh yeah that's meant to be eaten with uh sweet cheese and honey what we're going to do is we're going to wrap a whole goose breast and try it right it's like the hair of an angel that left heaven to go through a popeye's drive through the hair of your sleeping wife i'm not going to lie i don't exactly know how this is going to work but my thought was just to kind of roll it up roll it up yeah just kind of like roll it up tightly and i'm gonna smash it between two strainers and then i'm gonna fry it and hope for the best yeah try and really get it tight try and kind of like pack it you know like a sleeping person's head while you're bringing the hair oh just stay asleep don't wake up and find that i'm doing this too i don't know it's like we're gonna fry a wig or something huh we don't know how this is gonna go so put it on that but the good news is is it's just gonna okay now we gotta flip it to the backhand we point all our appliances to the camera which is the opposite way that we do it in real life and so now we're just gonna flip it back in and then right in the oil oh yeah what is happening ow we're in like some strange funnel cake territory yes what what now what is it you want me to do i don't know man just calm me down cause i'm scared i'm getting splashed with all this it looks like a couple yeah so we're gonna give it like a little trim we're gonna give it a little like haircut i can give you a trim as well actually i need it let's get something inside get some of the burns this is this bothering you yeah well you don't want to take off too much but yeah see just a little bit like that thank you yeah cause it kind of gets like caught in the ears a little shape there yeah we'll even it out later but do you think it's burning huh what you do what you got to do okay here just follow it's actually just higher just keep going just falling so this come on look at that though i need to wash this now what why so we're just going to flip that you see we've got a little nest i just want to take this and i want to kind of give it a haircut do you want an aniston do you want to uh yeah do the rachel oh that's what it was called not the hands no that was the i mean so we don't oh my gosh yeah just a little bit there you go oh yeah you don't want to forget that there is a meat ball in there clip a little bit right there yeah it is a little bit hot oh god no we're okay i think that's how it looked before right before what i don't know this is strange dude i didn't have anything to do with the planting of this me neither i don't do anything that's the sous chef mike's fault man he's going down you know what i bet when we put this inside of this beautiful bun it'll just all come together let's do that action there it is all right so this doesn't look like we did a lot but i feel like we did so much we didn't even do that this edge is made what is it these are watermelon radish pickles try one oh that's pickly i love the pop-out pickles they're so big and thick picking a big and thick we got a big and thick bun really slather that up oh i'm gonna go slather on the bottom and the top yeah there we go all right now slap that down and i'm going to try and gently it's like if cousin it were a chicken breast yes oh go on go on that side now ginger ginger ginger okay and then oh pickles pickles they put a lot of pickles they put a lot of pickles yeah we pickle that with some korean chili flake called cochucaru now we're in the whisper mode because it's getting real y'all real in here that i think that's good you know are you you're gonna do that okay that's fine i was kind of thinking yeah let's do it together it's not my show well no i mean it's like you're like you should like you run the show like you're like the ringling ed and jimmy ringling just give me a ring a name here we go and jingling let's compare it to the original it's alive ours is like all over the place i mean it just looks like someone vomited ramen i take a more artistic brush to me this is like the impressionist painters or your eyes were never supposed to focus on one part of the painting there are constant brush strokes to make your eyes wander around and really fixate and that's what i think we've done look at all these beautiful brush strokes this is like you know abstract impressionist art and that's how i justify anything that i don't feel confident and i say it's art let's recreate the link stairs at a sandwich meme i mean we're here here you hold that and then i'm just gonna get down here like this stare at it i mean they say don't don't try to make a meme happen they probably also say don't try to make a meme happen again but screw it can we try and make a meme of josh stairs at length staring at chicken sandwich yeah yeah yeah let's do that but josh stares at link you could even be faux braiding my hair is it working i feel it i feel it in my lines all right link so we got our finished very fancy pop-up chicken sandwich but first we have to do a little palette refresher we gotta remind ourselves what the popeye sandwich tastes like yes dig that little reminder here and oh crap what has happened to my beard oh yeah you braid christy's hair while she sleeps i shave men's beards while they sleep but i haven't been sleeping that's as good as i remember it might be better than i remember absence makes the heart grow fonder i'm afraid of what we've done here i mean the sanders are more afraid of you than you are but remember this i do remember that now i'm not afraid all right so we got that cold smoked sous-vide i gave you the smaller part so if you see the goose breast is very dark it's very steak like and it shrunk up a lot but in the fridge right there uh-huh yeah yeah it's the majority of breading this is how we cut costs so just to remind you we got the goose fat scallion challah we got the cold smoked sous-vide goose breast has been wrapped in katahifido we got the watermelon radish gochugaru pickles and then we got the hollandaise with the liver pate and the six peruvian chilies see how it tastes here we go right in the center with the cut you gave me i ate the entire piece of meat there's literally no i mean except for that little thing there's there's no more meat in my side of this man leave a yelp review i don't know what happened i'm sorry uneven meat distribution one star but you you did get one good bite what are you tasting uh that crunchy stuff is pretty overwhelming the crunchy stuff is incredibly overwhelming that's a bugaboo we call that a bugaboo in the culinary industry that's my bad that goose is uh uh-huh it doesn't taste like chicken yeah the thing about goose is it doesn't taste good um is what i'm finding out because it's kind of like a cheap steak if someone told me that like hey this is this is like the 299 manager special steak i would kind of believe him i think we did all we could and i think the fanciness is there i love i'll tell you this we did all we did we did all we did and this was it we put so much work into it but how much of this sandwich it's it's a bargain at 207.51 cents 207. 51 cents get a price tag on a learning experience you know it was a fun process thanks for including me in it thank you i'm sorry that i just don't like what we did at all i feel a deep sense of shame about but if you think about it we had a bonding experience for 207 that's about as much as it costs to go six flags and i didn't throw up here is this my fault no it was an issue of conception it was my fault i should have adjusted for how bad you are at certain things you're so you're great at certain other things so thank you for that well it wasn't my idea to do it this way yeah well i mean you you know like you broke the sauce a little bit it was i consider this a failure from it was nicole's fault okay thank you so much for stopping by the mythical kitchen we got new episodes out every week we got new episodes of our podcast

WE BACK BABY!!!!!!!!

[u/carolynk104]

I need much more of Josh and Link in the Kitchen, in my life.

[u/FergusCragson]

What happened between the making of the sandwich and the eating of it?

Josh's hair was noticeably longer, and Link had shaved. Why did they not film the eating of it the same day -- was there an accident with the original sandwich, or what? Anyone in the know?
