Today we determine
the best breakfast biscuit. Let's talk about that. <i> ( music playing )</i> Good mythical morning! Today we've got
a brand-new music video from a little show called
"Buddy System," season two. Maybe you've
heard of it. And after that
we're gonna play a game based off a little show
called "The Bachelor." - You probably
never heard of it.
- Right. But first we got a very
important task at hand, ranking the ultimate
fast-food breakfast biscuit. It's time for... Okay, a couple of weeks ago,
"The Washington Post" <i> did their own fast-food
biscuit taste test</i> <i> to determine what they thought
was the best biscuit.</i> And out of the six
that they tasted, Bojangles'-- I'm glad
they tasted it, but they only gave it
a ranking <i> of 2.25 out of a total
of potentially five points.</i> Okay, and this is,
we are personally offended - by this, "Washington Post."
- Yeah. We don't care about you
and your bake news. I just--
that can't be right. We, listen, we think that you should
leave the tasting up to the tasting
professionals. We're not really
professionals, - but we have eaten
a lot of biscuits...
- Yeah. ...and had a lot of biscuits
over the break. Yeah. Uh, so what
we're gonna do is
two things today. We're going
to determine, uh, while tasting six different
biscuits of our own... - Right.
- ...what is the best biscuit. We're gonna each rank 'em
on a scale of one to 10, and then we're gonna average
that and then rank them, but we're also gonna be
competing against each other to see who can determine
what biscuit we are tasting, - what restaurant
it came from...
- Yeah. ...while blindfolded. The winner gets to eat
the ultimate fast-food biscuit that has been created
for the first time here
on "Good Mythical More." Okay, we're gonna
be tasting biscuits from the following
fast-food restaurants: Popeyes, KFC,
Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, Carl's Jr., AKA Hardee's,
and Bojangles'. Now, we're not saying
that Bojangles' is gonna win. That's why we're
doing this thing. - Right.
- But we're gonna be unbiased and we're gonna decide.
Let's go. As you can see,
we can't. Every biscuit will
be brought in <i> on the patent pending
chicken finger hand.</i> - Ooh.
- Let's bring
in the first one. - Bringing in.
- Let's bring in the first one! - Bringing in the first one.
- Biscuit, biscuit. - Mmm.
- Oh. Oh, I'm smellin'
biscuit, y'all. - It's a good day.
- Man, I've never thought about how much I would want
a biscuit served to me out of chicken finger hands.
But, mmm-- First of all, I already know
where this biscuit is from. I'm just gonna keep that
to myself, though. - Um, it's a good biscuit.
- Crunchy on the outside, - flakey on the inside.
- It's a solid biscuit. Now, I've gotta say, the thing I'm trying
to keep in mind is the fact that the Bojangles'
biscuit was shipped from North Carolina. - So--
- But they re-prepped it. - Hopefully.
- They did. They did reheat it
and everything, but has a slight
disadvantage. But I'm trying to see if I can
discern the shipping time... - Hmm. Yeah.
- ...in my taste buds. I will say that this one
is very buttery. It tastes very good. It's missing something to make
it the best biscuit ever. This is not approaching
a 10 for me. To me this,
it feels like we're doing something that
pleases a lot of people. - Yeah, I mean--
- You know what I'm saying? A lot of people
are pleased by this. I'm in like
the six area. You know what?
I was in, I was between five, six, and seven.
I'm gonna land on a six as well. - Okay, so we--
- It's a good solid biscuit. We agree on a six.
Do you have your guess - as to where this is from?
- Yeah. - All right.
- Woman: Three, two, one. - Carl's Jr.!
- McDonald's. McDonald's is not
that crispy on the outside. - Really?
- No. I thought Carl's Jr. was
bigger biscuit than that. A bite of
one biscuit won't do,
so bring in two. ( Rhett moans ) The smell, this smells
distinctly different. It's shaped different. But it does it
distinct. - What?
- The stink. It smells good. Oh. That is super crispy. I immediately know where
this biscuit is from, too. Man, I might be
a biscuit genius. This is a very
good biscuit. It has a very distinct
taste, um... You know,
how do you-- how many biscuits
you been eating? And from so many
different places? More than I care
to count. But it's got
a powderiness to it. Like, I would describe
the outer coating... Outer coating? The outer coating as powdery. Can I get another bite? This has the-- this has
the makings of a biscuit that wasn't made
at the restaurant, but that was made
somewhere else - and shipped
to the restaurant.
- No! What? Shipped to us or shipped
to the restaurant? Shipped to the restaurant. You don't think
it tastes fresh? It tastes good, but it's-- it's not
a classic biscuit taste. It's a weird,
different other genre, like parallel
universe biscuit. I feel like it's got
too much flour, - not enough butter.
- Yeah. - I'm gonna give it a--
- I love the taste of it, but what are you
giving it? I'm gonna give it
a four. Ah, man. I know what this is and
I don't want to hate on it, but I'm also gonna
give it a four. I'm ready to guess. Woman:
Okay, here we go. - Three, two, one...
- Both: Chick-fil-A. - No doubt.
- Yeah, that's
a Chick-fil-A biscuit. - Yeah.
- Mm-hmm. Okay. Is it in here? My favorite part is
the search for the biscuit. Is it? I should follow more meals
with my nose. I should eat more meals
blindfolded, 'cause I think I would
appreciate it more. - You know?
- I do know. And I also know
that is a mushy biscuit. That biscuit would
be good to sit on. That's a weird taste. This biscuit is flavorless. This biscuit is mushy. This biscuit is--
there's not even butter in it. There's no butter baked
into this biscuit. I think I might choke
trying to eat it. - This is a horrible biscuit.
- I think I might die just trying
to eat the biscuit. - This is a heinous biscuit!
- This biscuit is
going to kill me, not in the long-term
from multiple eatings, but from one sitting. I'm going to die
from this biscuit. I mean, I'm not
gonna spit it out, but I'm gonna
give it a one. Well, well-- - A one!
- I mean, I'd finish it. I mean, I'd eat
the whole thing, if it was, if I was-- I gotta drink, man. I'm gonna give it
a three. - All right.
- It's not horrible. It's still a biscuit.
Don't be-- And I know exactly
where it's from. - I'm not apologizing for it.
- Hold on. You know exactly
where it's from? Exactly where it's from. How-- man, you might
be a biscuit genius, or you might just
be self-deluded. Woman:
Okay, let's see. Three, two, one... - McDonald's.
- KFC. - Bam!
- You sure about that? Yeah, man!
I'm a genius when it comes
to the biscuits. ( moaning ) Mmm. I'm getting something
from the smell. ( sniffing )
Mmm. ( grunts ) Rubbery. But I'm not gonna hold
that against it. - Huh.
- Isn't that
a rubbery biscuit? Well, again this could
be miles of shipping. Miles of shipping. It tastes like it's
got something else. In it.
Like they put-- like an ingredient that isn't
in any other biscuit. It's in this biscuit. It's almost like the fried
chicken they're frying, and putting Cajun seasoning
on is in the air, and then it settles
on the biscuit. And then it was boxed
and shipped across America. That's-- or maybe
that's just me. Bring it back in. You think this
is Bojangles'? And if it is... man! I'm in like three
territory, dude. I'm thinking this tastes
like a three. And it-- but if it's been
shipped across America, maybe it was a 10
on the other side. I think
you should double-- if you think it's Bojangles',
just for, you know... - Solidarity.
- ...saving face, we should double
whatever our estimate is. Because you have--
the points have to come off as you-- you cross
the Mississippi,
you lose some points. - I don't think--
- You cross the
Continental Divide, - you lose some more points.
- Yeah, yeah. I don't think I've ever eaten
a biscuit from McDonald's. You come in to California,
you lose a lot of points. - Biscuit wise.
- But be honest. I mean, if you're just ranking
that on taste right now, what number
are you giving it? - Three.
- Yeah, I'm giving it a three. So, I think
it's Bojangles'. So, I'm giving it a six. I think it's-- I don't think
it's Bojangles'. And I'm gonna
keep my three. Woman:
Okay, what do you think it is? Three, two, one... - Hardee's.
- Bojangles'. I just want to say,
I'm not feeling good - about what just happened.
- No. Yeah. I don't feel good
about anything, 'cause-- That could've
been Popeyes. - I feel like we're giving--
- I poop on Popeyes now. We're giving lots
of low scores, but-- - The standard is so high
for a good biscuit.
- All biscuits are good. That's the thing
I want to establish. It's not
that I don't like-- - I would eat all of these.
- Yeah. - Just, you know.
- Even that one. I'd sit alone in a closet
with a dozen of these. Any one of them so far
and just eat 'em, and if people knocked
on the closet, I would say, "Go away!
I'm eating my biscuits!" - Yeah, I would--
- With any of these. I would murder a man
who makes, uh, that stuff that
a McMuffin's made out of. What is that called? - An English muffin?
- An English muffin. I'd murder an English
muffin maker to eat the biscuit
that I ranked as a number one. - Well, that's like
a person in England.
- I mean-- - Well, that's--
- Why would you kill
somebody in England - over a tasty--
- Well, I didn't mean it. - I take it back,
but it was just--
- Okay. - Bring it in.
- I'm just making a point. Oh. ( mumbling ):
It tastes crunchy. This has a good head on it. - It's gotta--
- It's not beer. I just placed my nose
on top of it, and I think
that's the biscuit head. Oh, wow,
it's big! Big and fluffy. - ( moans )
- I love the fluffy, fluffy. It's not as buttery
as the first one we tasted. - I don't know, man--
- But it's just as fluffy - and it's just as crunchy
on the outside.
- That's buttery. That's fluffy,
that's big! It's big and fluffy! What you got against
big and fluffy? Nothing,
but there's no buttery. Big and fluffy and buttery,
I give a six. I can't give this--
I gotta give this a five. - I'm giving this a seven.
- I think a six is my new 10, by the way. - Okay.
- Woman: You ready to guess? - Yeah.
- Woman: Three, two, one... - Hardee's.
- McDonald's. - Boy, you think
that's McDonald's?
- I don't know. - They make a biscuit
that big at McDonald's?
- I'm not a genius! I started out
so confident, - now I'm flaking out, man.
- Yeah. - Bring it in. Yes.
- Is that a pun? Oh! - ( Rhett groans )
- Okay. This one smells like it's been
in a box with chicken. Oh, no, it's in chicken fingers.
I keep forgetting. Mmm. Ah. It's a smaller biscuit. It's a crunchy biscuit
on the outside. Not getting a lot of butter. I know what this one is. This is an underwhelming
biscuit. It's an average biscuit. It's not bad. This is a four for me. This is a solid five
for me. Very middle of the road
biscuit. - I'm ready to guess.
- It's not offensive to me, but I'm not gonna
get excited about it. - Only got one left.
- Woman: All right, let's guess. Three, two, one... Both:
Popeyes! - All right, um,
- I think that's Popeyes. so, what did
we determine, first of all was
the best biscuit? Woman:
Well, we have a little bit
of a tie going on, and I don't want to
leave it at a tie. I feel like we need to determine
the number one biscuit. So, um, you've ranked two
of the biscuits - with a score of 12.
- Yeah. And, so, now we're gonna bring
in those two biscuits starting with one
and then the other, and you're gonna have to
determine which one is better. And we got to agree,
because we gotta come to a conclusion
as a show here. Okay, let's taste
the first one. The first finalist. - ( moans )
- Oh. Mmm, there it is again. - Buttery.
- It has a homemade
taste to it. This is a different-- this is not the same biscuit
I bit earlier, because this is not crunchy
on the outside. It's just a little underdone. But ain't that the way
you like your biscuits? That's the way--
I order them that way. I want a light biscuit. That's what I say to 'em. - Um--
- It's also-- it feels like maybe
I've become a little bit immune to butteriness. I think that's
what has happened. This was not nearly as good
as the first time I tasted it, - even though
I like a soft biscuit.
- Okay. Let's bring in the other one.
Let's see. Let's see. Oh, is it here? Oh, this is
a better biscuit. I got, I mean-- - Consistency wise--
- I got a burnt version
of that one. Which I don't like. But it's still very soft
on the inside. Consistency wise
it's a little bit different, but I feel like the flavor
profile is hitting in the right places. There's more surprises. More surprises,
that's what I was thinking. I agree.
Um, so we agree that that is
the best biscuit ever made in breakfast
fast-food. And I'm really nervous,
so I'm taking off my mask. Woman:
Yeah, take off your blindfold. I'm gonna hold
the winner reveal, 'cause I'm gonna tell you guys
how many you each got right in the guessing category. So, Link, you got two correct. Biscuit genius my... I flaked out, man. Rhett, you got four correct. Yeah, man, maybe
I'm the biscuit genius. Here's the best reveal
of them all, you guys ranked Bojangles'
as the number one biscuit. - Yeah!
- Oh, we did? Yeah, we both,
both did. - We did it!
- All right! - We did it!
- Yeah, we did it! That's right,
'cause it is the best, Washington no. I did not know
that was happening, but I'm so relieved
that it did. - Oh, man.
- All right, congratulations! I'm biscuit genius
and Bojangles' is the best. - I mean, the world is right.
- I am so relieved. Make sure to stick around
for "Good Mythical More." We're gonna take a look at the
rest of the biscuit rankings. But before that, stay tuned
for a brand-new music video from "Buddy System,"
season two, where we lock ourselves
and a stranger's child
in a minivan. <i> We've signed a limited edition
