deliciously fried foods from around the world, the heavenly taste of
fried chicken, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks barely
touched the tip of the tot? Well, it's true, and we're
about to stick our hands deep into the international deep fryer, and see what we pull out. It's time for... - [Both] Where in the World Do These International
Fried Foods Come From? - You know how this goes, we're gonna try a unique fried food dish that comes from a certain
country on the map, then we're going to guess
which country it comes from by throwing a dart at it, and then Chase, the fly
fry cook cartographer will measure how far our dart
is from the right answer. - I can't help but notice that
Brunei is not on the board. I thought I asked that it
be on the board every time. - Is that your prerequisite for- - That's my mojo. Okay, yeah, it's on the map,
but it's not on the board. Whoever has the lowest score
at the end is the winner, and since I won last time, Rhett, you get a special
advantage dart this time. - You didn't just win, lemme just say, you didn't just win, you had
the performance of a lifetime, the lowest score ever, and
the only bullseye ever. So, I mean, are you gonna ride that wave? - I had him scared at the end
there with that last question. - Oh, yeah, you totally opened the window, and now you stayed right in the house. - I'm not acknowledging any waves, you're gonna have the Blart,
which is a blooming onion dart, that you're gonna have to
throw all over the board. The loser is gonna have to
read all the ingredients from the back of a french fries bag, using his best vocal fry. - Oh, I love the vocal
fry, like (indistinct). - Let's do it. Good gosh. - Is this just fried pizza? - Oh, it's a half of a
pizza, completely deep fried, with some french fries on the side. Wow. Is it even sliced?
- I think it is kinda sliced, but not really. - Deep fried pizza. - I would think America,
but you know what? - Crunchy on the bottom,
crunchy on the top, pizza in the middle,
you know it don't stop. - Steak cut french fries with gravy. - Oh, is that gravy? No. It's like Italian
dressing or something. - It has an Italian dressing-ish
vinegary taste to it. - Vinegar but also very sweet. That's gotta be the hint. - All right, as we
established, you won last time, so you go first. - And there's so much grease on my, are you gonna film me with
your camera, by the way? - You know what, I feel
weird about filming you. It feels intrusive,
and so I just was like, we have a lot of cameras, let's just let them do
their jobs, you know? - Well, I wasn't gonna say it, but yeah. See, this right here, this is the hint. What is this? I'm tasting something in it. I mean, do you? Okay. Okay. - What are you talking about, man? - I see what's happening here. - You can't be the only guy with glasses. - That's true. - Where do they love
Worcestershire? Morocco? - That's what I've heard. They love Worcestershire in Morocco. - [Link] It doesn't really go
with this, that's a steak dip. - What about the fried pizza part? - That could be anywhere. That's not giving me anything. It has to be the Worcestershire steak dip, that's leading me to South America. Venezuela, Peru, get ready for your dart. Oh, little high, I hit Florida Keys. What are you thinking? - Well I love my new
glasses, first of all. - They suit you. - I love my new glasses. Taking an American thing and
doing something nuts with it always strikes me as, this is
something that might happen- - [Link] Pizza's not
an American thing, man. - Well, pizza, like this form of pizza, this is like a Domino's pizza. I'm thinking Philippines. - [Link] Oh, we're on polar opposites. - But these, my friend, these steak fries, with this sauce, makes
me think of England, 'cause this is the type
of fries that you get when you get fish and chips. England's not up there, but Scotland is, and I used to think I was from there. But deep-fried pizza does
not seem Scottish at all. I will say that. I feel like I'm overthinking it. Scotland. - Definitely overtalking it. Ooh. A little high for both of us. Stevie, make my dreams come true. - [Stevie] This battered
and deep-fried pizza is known as pizza crunch, and
is commonly served with fries, or chips, and a side of chippy sauce, which is vinegar mixed with brown sauce. If you wanna know what brown sauce is, you're gonna have to ask your
local pizza crunch maker. - That's what brown sauce is? Dang it! - [Stevie] Scotland. - Oh, man! Woo! - [Link] Brown sauce, I remember
the freaking brown sauce. - I did not see any fried
pizza during my trip to what I thought was my homeland. - Shoot, I knew that was the key. You didn't know it was
brown sauce, either. - I didn't wanna say anything. - Okay, Link, you had 27. Rhett, seven. - Oh. Hey, you know what? That's cool. I mean I didn't get a
bullseye or anything. - Nope, you didn't. - Good gracious. - Ooh, look at this. - I think this might be a
fork and knife situation, I'm coming- - Is that a donut? - All the way through, it's
a donut with a donut hole... - [Link] On top of it? - [Rhett] Oh man, it's thick, gracious. - It is dense. I can't
even pull that thing apart. Heavy, too, boy. - [Rhett] So it's a super
thick donut with cherries... - [Link] And some sort
of cream cheese icing. I completely destroyed that. Mm! - All right, now I'm first again, okay. - Yep, yep, yep. - [Rhett] Okay. Where in
the world do they do this? - Yeah, that is the object of the game. - I wanna know if the thickness
of the donut is relevant, do you know what I'm saying? - Josh, can you say? - Is the density of the donut relevant? - [Josh] The donut is indeed dense, yes. - Josh would have us believe that everything he does is for a reason, so he doesn't wanna have to
defend himself to that level. - [Josh] Thank you. - The meeting of the cheese and the fruit, and the fried thing together, takes me to a European location, and the only European location that's on the board is Romania, so I guess I gotta go to Romania. - You've got to. You've got to do it. Oh! - I'm going consistently high. I'm gonna start aiming low. - And I'm backing up
against the wall, here, down 20 centimeters. I can't take a big risk unless
I have an assertive answer. Spoiler alert, I don't
have an assertive answer. I just got nothing else to go on here, except your answer. But maybe I'll go a little
bit to the west of Romania, but definitely not all the way
up there where your dart is. Oh, gosh. That really lost some steam. - Well, it might be South
Africa. You don't know. - It's the grease on my fingers. - We don't really know,
we're just guessing. - [Stevie] This is papanasi, which is basically a fried
cottage cheese-filled donut topped with sour cream,
jam, and powdered sugar. Some believe the name papanasi
comes from the Latin papa, which means food for children. While this dish is also
sometimes enjoyed in Moldova, papanasi is probably most strongly, definitely most strongly associated with, Romania. - Hey, hey!
- Oh. Man, I was aiming for it. Of course, so were you. There's cottage cheese in this thing? - Inside the donut. - [Josh] Yeah, so that's probably the denseness that you were reading. Also it's cold in Romania,
they need to stay warm. - I love cottage cheese.
- It's very calorie-dense. - And I love a cottage cheese donut, and that sour cream on top.
- That sour cream, not cream cheese, even better. - Okay, Rhett, you had six. Link, 15. - Boo! - Are you upset? - Yeah, I'm kinda, 'cause I
know what I'm capable of now. - Right. What in the world, Link? Is this a testicle? - [Link] I thought it was a lemon. - Is it a testicle or a pear? I mean, an orange. It could be a testicle,
it could be an orange. - It's really mushy. You've got me scared now. And there's some sort of a... - Is it a tomato, or a testicle? - [Link] Let's just bite it and see. - [Both] Oh, it's an egg. - It's a hard-boiled egg. - The possibility of it being an egg did not present itself to me. And there's some, it's a vinegary sauce. - That kinda works together, I like it, I like the color of it. - Deep-fried eggs. - That's fun. All right, you're still going first, so I can copy your answer, if I need to. - I'm going solely off of
the color of this thing. I'm thinking Mexico. I don't know, I can also see them doing this in South Africa. This is about gamesmanship
at this point, Link. I'm sorry, I don't like to be that guy, but I don't feel like I
can make a strong guess, so I'm gonna kinda
triangulate those answers, and just go for Romania again. - My observation is
that it's a bland dish, and then the only thing you've
got to dip it in is vinegar? - With some onion. - You know, and you really need
that because it's so bland. I just don't think it
can be India or Mexico. There's just no spice. There's nothing to jump out at you. - So where does that send you? - Russia. But Russia's so big, I
think that's a red herring. - Uh-huh. Well this is red egg. - I'm changing my answer to South Africa. I could see this happening there. - Quite a shift.
- I mean, if I go for Russia, it's not gonna... - Right. - Why are you...? You're breathing down my neck, literally. - I have glasses that film. Hey, brother! If that's right, then you
just got a good guess. - [Stevie] This is kwek kwek, hard-boiled duck eggs deep
fried in orange batter and served with a spiced
vinegar dipping sauce. A variation of this dish
also exists using quail eggs. Kwek kwek is a popular
fried street food in the Philippines. - Okay, that was basically
a no man's round. Where's the color come from, Josh? - [Josh] So it's an annatto seed batter, and annatto seed is
actually very commonly used in Mexican adobos as well. - Wow, so I was actually
thinking correctly, but incorrectly guessing.
- [Josh] I'm proud of you. - All right, Rhett, you had 25. Link, 38. - Oh, wow. Okay. That's
worse than I thought, Link. - What do we have here? - It looks like, I mean it's shiny. - It's kinda like a funnel
cake type situation? - It's almost like deep-fried honey! - It gushed on my face. - Is that just grease? - Is it deep-fried grease strings? It's very sweet. I think it is honey. - It's good, though, isn't it? - Yeah, it is. It's some sort of syrup. Like they just do it down
in the fryer, I guess? I don't know how it works. - I would like to point out, as justification for what I'm about to do, that last time you were
doing the best performance in the history of this game, and you still chose to use your cheat. So, I'm also gonna do that.
- Yeah, I did. I'm not gonna apologize for it, and you do what you gotta do. - So there's no shame in this. - Throw that blooming onion. I mean, there's still some shame in it. - I believe that this
is from either Mexico, Venezuela, or Peru. - Why? - Because the willingness to
go super, super, super sweet, is concentrated on that part of the map. But I'm gonna try to just sorta go for the Atlantic Ocean,
and get some splatter. - Trying to block me out, huh? Oh, gosh. That was quite a mess. - I feel good about that, though. - All of your splatter
went south and west. - [Rhett] So I'm in all
three of my guesses, I'm in Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela, I'm also in Morocco.
- And when it comes to cheats, that is one of the most
effective cheats I've ever seen. - So you understand, Venezuela is underneath all
that stuff I put on the board. - So I'm 32 centimeters down. I mean, I've really gotta... - Lemme get kind of a cool cinematic shot of you thinking here, I think if I can almost
be like a steady cam, I can do this. That's what we're guessing, right there. - Then, and yeah, the
unapologetic sweetness, I think you're right. I can't go for the gusto on this one, I just can't afford to do that, 'cause I'm still in this. So, I'm going for Venezuela. - [Rhett] You're gonna have
to get through the sauce. Oh, Peru! - I hit Peru, though. Maybe the fates have aligned. - [Stevie] This is jalebi, which is also known by other names such as zulbia and zalabia. This sweet snack is made by
deep-frying a maida flour batter which has been pulled and
twisted into circular shapes, which are then soaked in sugar syrup, and it is very much enjoyed in India. - Oh, man! My shot! I just didn't think there was anything Indian about it.
- I'm glad I got that little spurt close to India. - Dang it! - Okay, Rhett, you had
11, from right here. And Link, you had 49. - That's quite a bit. - What can you do? What can you do? - Not a lot, not a lot. - From glory to gutless. A bag of fried stuff. - [Rhett] That's a fried
piece of meat with a... - [Link] It's dusted. That sauce is good. - That's good. That is a jerk sauce. - It's spicy, too. There's french fries in here, there's dusted and fried pepper pieces. That is nice. There's no way I can win, man. Just put me out of my misery, man. - This has gotta be Jamaica, which I have covered up with sauce. Thank you, Chase. Chase is making Jamaica appear. Oh, I hit the United States. - Okay, what is something that seems like it could be an educated guess that is as far as possible
from Rhett's dart, so as to make my score
somewhat respectable? - Well let's figure out a way
to make it from New Zealand. - It has to be. - You know, everybody in
New Zealand is so nice, that they have to eat jerk
seasoning just to try to get a little more salty. - I love it, that's what I'm gonna do. New Zealand! See, that was close, too,
see, we can focus on that. - [Stevie] This is the spice bag, an on-the-go bag
consisting of spicy fries, fried chicken, fried onions, peppers, a variety of spices and
served with a curry sauce. The spice bag was created in 2010 by the Sunflower Chinese takeaway, and quickly became a huge craze
with cult-like following in Dublin, Ireland. - Oh, wow.
- Ireland. So it's not a jerk sauce, it's a white sauce?
- So Josh, why did I think that was a jerk sauce? - [Josh] So, one of the main spices in jerk seasoning is allspice, and what you were tasting there is actually Chinese five spice, which is very similar 'cause
it has cinnamon, star anise, clove, and Sichuan-
- Thank you for making me feel like I'm not that crazy.
- Five spices, not all the spices. - [Josh] Correct, yeah, yeah. - 'Kay, Rhett, you had 23. Link, 64. - Mm. - Okay, you're trying
to send a message here, but you know what? No one's picking up the phone. Because- - What message? - I'm not gonna say your message for you. - I don't know what the message is, you say I'm trying to send a message? What are you talking about? - I'll win again. That's my message. I can do this. - I mean, yeah, man. I mean, listen, that was potentially one of the biggest victories in the history of the game-

Link's logic is always so flawed when they play this game...
When he is behind he should be aggressive and take risks, yet he was super conservative and kept saying he cant take a risk.
When he is ahead, he should be conservative, but he gets cocky and takes risks.
Fun episode none the less!
LET'S FUCKING GOOO!

Davin, if you're reading this and this wasn't where you got the idea, please don't take this away from me :)
Also, shout-out to whoever gave Stevie her notes, the pronounciation was pretty spot on.
Not watched the episode yet still in work- but if that deep fried pizza isn't from Scotland then I'm not scottish
I'm glad to finally see Romania in one of those and honestly they chose the best romanian food there is imo.
It was really nice to see an Indian sweet on the show and for them to be completely shocked that jalebi is Indian. It’s... not my favourite sweet, but my parents love it.
i love seeing link lose in these because he's a copy cat most of the time no where near puts in the thought rhett does
This is basically the only GMM food show I enjoy!
I wish we could somehow filter out the countries and play along
