Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh! Oh Geez. What's going on? I knew that was going to
happen too! And I let it. You've heard of bowling for soup, but have you ever bowled for pasta? Trevor? No? Why don't you ever take me
bowling for pasta anymore? I don't understand the question. Alright, so in 2009, Domino's introduced the three
cheese mac and cheese bread bowl on top of their already
bread and cheese heavy menu. But it was discontinued
shortly thereafter. Was that carbohydrate
Chimera gone too soon? It's time for! [Both] Past food! Trevor, you were alive
in 2009. That's correct? Yes. That is correct. How much do you remember
about the economic recession? This is going somewhere where. You watch. Not much, but enlighten me. Housing market crashed in
2008. This comes out in 2009. It is, shockingly, not a coincidence because this was to compete
with Pizza Hut's $5 pastas. When the housing market crashed, people were spending less
money at fast food restaurants. So you saw places like
Pizza Hut and Domino's, they actually hit a huge
revenue decline because people weren't buying big ticket items. And then places like
Taco Bell and McDonald's with value menus actually rose up. So, all the pizza places, they had to figure out how to
create a value menu with more personal items that appealed to people. That's why they came out with
these $5 pasta bread bowls. It was like an individual item. You probably share with
another person because there's 1600 calories a pop. So this is a three cheese, pan made, mac and cheese bread bowl. It was mozzarella white
cheddar and yellow cheddar, which they no longer have the
white cheddar at Domino's. So, we're not using that. I am convinced, because I ate
this originally, it was soupy. I mean, it was literally like a, it was almost like a bowl of queso with eight penne noodles thrown into it. Okay. So what we're gonna do, we have cheesy jalapeño
dip, not from the Domino's, but from the Little Caesars. Because Domino's used to have
cheddar dip, and some of them still do, but the one by us does not. So, we went to Little Caesars
who has always been there for us in times of need. They were recession-proof baby! $5 pizzas! What a time to be alive! So we're using that. We got the alfredo sauce from Domino's, we got the penne from Domino's, and then we're gonna make
our own dough from scratch. And this is our secret ingredient. What is this? Domino's pizza dough! It is so delicious because
it's got a bunch of fake butter flavor in it. So, this is just soy bean
oil and fake butter flavors. I figured we could dump that in there. Are we just using this
in place of normal oil? Mm-hmm! Trevor, you ready to bring this- [Both] Back from the past?! Alright, Trevor, We gotta
make this here pizza dough from Domino's. And, like everything Domino's does, we are going to make it purely by hand and from organic scratch. Get the heck! We're gonna dump a bunch
of chemicals in it! Cool! So we're gonna try and recreate the actual bread bowl dough completely from scratch, which was very similar
to their pan pizza dough, which means it has a ton of this, here, fake butter flavor in it. Which, if I can eat it, it's real. There ain't nothing fake
about that. Alright? That is delicious! I don't understand where the
color comes from because that is not the color of butter
or roughly anything. Do you want to know where it comes from? Yeah, yeah. Annatto. Sounds sexy. Annatto is red though. So I don't know why it's this color. It's very confusing. But we're using that. We got, what is this soy lecithin in here? Yeah. Just a little binder. We're gonna add things that are commonly found in dough conditioners, which Domino's has in their
pizza dough in spades. So we got what? Some
maltodextrin in there- Yeah, you know- tapioca powder. It's gonna make it nice and rigid, but also inexplicably fluffy. Sturdy and also, it's
gonna last for years. Yes. Correct. This is going to be the time capsule. Like, the aliens are gonna
come here and they are going to find a single mac and
cheese bread bowl from Domino's with three cockroaches going on it. They're just going to be like, "Hmm. Carbs on carbs, huh?" And then they're gonna just eviscerate us. So Trevor, you're wanna
start dumping things in here? Yeah, I sure do! Let's dump! Do you think that aliens
have made contact with people and the government's keeping it from us? Oh, aliens have definitely made contact. Have you seen "The Fourth Kind"? No. It's a lovely film. A woman levitates off of a bed in it. Okay. During an encounter with
the fourth kind of, no, an encounter of the
fourth kind, I'm sorry. Which is where... I
don't know how it works! This is sugar, by the way. Sugar is gonna help the yeast. But you've seen us make dough before, but there's some fun.
Yeah. There is some other fun
things going in here. This is dextrose. Dextrose is another form of sugar. But it acts more as a preservative,- Yeah. I believe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you want me to mix
this up a little bit? Yeah, I mean, if you want to, you know, you could. I don't watch a lot of alien movies. The one I do really enjoy
is called "Beer Money", with Mark-Paul Gosselaar,
where, it's like, some bros find an alien and
they just get it drunk and- Yeah. they feed it butterflies and stuff. Well, actually, interesting story about the
movie that I was talking about, "The Fourth Encounter",-
Go ahead. So, it's based up in this, like, middle-of-nowhere town Alaska, like, you have to fly in by
puddle jumper to get there. It turns out that the guy that
wrote the movie and, like, funded it, he falsified
a bunch of documents. Like, he literally went
into the town's history's falsified obituaries to
make it seem like this was a true story so that he could market his alien movie as a true story. And the people in the town
got really mad at him. Cause they were like, "None
of that ever happened." It turns out he just
falsified a bunch of documents and lied about everything. It's a terrible movie. It's, like, really bad,
but it's really funny. We watch it every year at my
house because it's so bad. Adding in some butter. And now we're just
gonna, it was already up. That was my bad. That was my bad. I'm sorry, I got really sidetracked. No, that's fine! I was curious about your, cause you know, I've watched the videos of the, you know, you get the Navy pilots. Yeah. I dunno, man. It doesn't add up to me. It would make sense if
there were aliens, but I haven't seen one.
My thing is, I just need to figure out how
to survive the alien invasion. So, I'm going to try and, like, really turn on my own kind
and then just become like a cute little pet for one of them. You know? I'll, like, dance. I'll do a little jig so they'll throw alien coins at me. It's kind of just soup right now. We made bread soup, but, we want to make bread to put soup in. Oh God, no. I turned it on and I
don't know what to do. The buttons scare me. I don't know how to do it. Alright, so we're just
going to kneed this up. Mix it until it's, like, super wet. We're trying to get like a
really nice big puffy dough. So, this whole bread bowl,
it's not like a bread bowlette. You go to the Marie Calendars, you get the claim chowder
in a bread bowl, You know? Mm-hmm. It's not like that. So, it wasn't a big one, cause they had to still
fit in their pizza boxes, which is the funny thing. Yeah. They served everything
in these pizza boxes, It was very flat. So it's kinda just like a big
puffy pizza with a bunch of, like, penne on it, which a
lot of people decried this, I called it a carbohydrate, come here, you called it a noodle nightmare earlier. I was like carbs on carbs. But, like, you head to New York, there's old school places doing
penne alla vodka on a slice. This is essentially just
like a deep dish pizza with a couple of noodles thrown in. And to me it was actually really good. And I'm kind of shocked they took it away. Or, took away this specific menu least. Cause, at some Domino's you
can still get a bread bowl. I think you can get one
at our local Domino's. Yeah, you can. But we're making our own from
scratch because we want to. Yeah, because we're built different. We're trying to beat
dominoes at their own game. We are built different. Like, my left nipple is actually
where my right nipple should be. We're built differently. Yeah. We're gonna crank it on
high. I'm gonna let it kneed. Yeah! We're gonna let it kneed! Elongate all the glutens in there. Can you hear us? Trevor's got the longest
gluten in the game. I do have long glutens. That's why they call
him long gluten Trevor. Trevor, do you want to do
you're stand mixer character? No! You hated that! I didn't hate it. I just implied that, you know, No, you said that on camera. "Your stand mixer bit sucks Trevor-" I didn't say that! No, no! "Go home and come up with
something better, okay? Cause you're not funny and
you need to be better." I'm very supportive of Trevor! Hey Trevor, lube this bowl down with some
of that butter flavoring. We're not using this as lube We sure our Trevor! Oh, God. This looks like, well, you know, it could look worse. Alright, so we're gonna take some of this super wet pizza dough, but it's going to hydrate as sits, and then, Trevor, get some
more butter flavoring on top. Let me just sprinkle a little. It does smell like a movie theater It reminds me of watching
"Blue Is The Warmest Color" in theaters alone. What? I support art house films! I sat in the very back. So, no once could see what I was doing. Alright! We're just gonna go and
get the plastic wrap and let it rest. I'm going to press it out. You see that movie? "Blue
Is The Warmest Color"? No. Hoo! Hey Josh. Yeah, Trevor, what's up? You get any more of that butter sauce? [Both] Sheesh! I still don't get it. All of TikTok makes me
so wildly uncomfortable. And all I'm getting served is, like, 15 year old girls who are like,
"Nose, job recovery check!" And I'm like, "This is bad for society." I don't know. I don't know. I don't like, what do they, what are the, Can you tell me what this means? Why did they do this? Help me? I don't know. I don't know! It's so weird. All of it. Ugh, gross. Can you imagine bringing
a child into this world? Alright put that down. Well, first, I'm gonna sprinkle a bit of semolina, cause they actually have
this on Domino's pizza dough, and pizza, which, to me,
makes it really delicious. You get almost that little like crackly sort of crumb on the bottom. Your sauce, sir. Do you want me to do
it or you wanna do it? No, no, no, no, no. Well, okay. So, what are we going
for here? Shape wise. Yeah, we're going for,
like, more of a bowl, but not quite a bowl, because here's the thing,
it was more of a slope. It was like a little crater, like, okay, a beach volleyball
landing in freshly fallen sand. Okay. Cause we're not
trying to go for ball and then cut and hollow,- Correctamundo. Which is what a normal
bread bowl would do. We're trying to shape it almost into a sort of flat bowl or- Yeah, so it was unclear
if Domino's was actually, remember our mcstuffins dilemma? Yeah. Invariably, someone comes
into the YouTube comments. They're like, "I worked at Domino's for
35 years and here's exactly how we did it." That happened with the mcstuffins. It turns out they weren't
cutting and stuffing them. Or no, they were! Dude. I don't remember. I don't remember! That was, like, seven months ago. We make so many videos. It was pretty unclear if
they were hollowed out, like, a little bit or not, but they were kind of, just, shaped into a dome and then baked. Just, like, a very puffy, What is it? A pizza bianca or focaccia di recco. Mafia movies were harmful
stereotypes of Italian Americans. Okay. So I'm just gonna
press the center out, right? Cause we're trying to get
a little bit of crust. Gabagool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So- Gabagool. I didn't watch the Sopranos
for any of the drama. I solely watched it for
watching a man in a bathrobe eat cold cuts out of a fridge. To me, that's what the show is about, and that's how I want to live my life. I don't agree with all the crimes, but, I do like the fact that he regularly saw a therapist and he ate cold cuts half naked. And that's healthy. So, what were you, what? Oh! So you wanna press this
out in, like, a dome and then we're just gonna
try and create, like, a really thick crust on there. And then this is just
gonna rise and you're gonna try and keep a flat surface. Kind of, like, almost
exactly what I'm doing here. Yeah. You're, yeah. I should have said keep going. You're doing great, Trevor. You're fantastic. And that you've really
grown in your role here at mythical kitchen and in life. I feel like- You don't have to give me my
performance review on camera. It'd be convenient. It'd just save time. We're gonna take some mozzarella cheese. Cause there was some fun
little cheese bits around this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fun little cheese bits, Little crispy cheese bits. Crispy cheese bits around the edge. It's a pasta bread bowl! Just like a Mama Domino used to make. Mama Domino! That's your character! At some point I considered
taking an actual improv class. So I was like, "I think this would actually
help me with my job". So then you don't just start
talking about insane conspiracy theories about aliens when you're struggling for things to say. You could be like, "Trevor!
Hold this beach ball!" "Oh! It's 10,000 pounds!" Or you can pay $900 into a pyramid scheme to learn how to do that. And then I didn't do it. Let's put this in the oven. Yeah, let's go! Trevor, Right now we're making
their three cheese sauce. The three cheeses were: mozzarella, convenient for a pizza place. The worst cheese to add
to a mac and cheese. Does nothing for you. Then they had a yellow cheddar, which they also have for
their barbecue chicken pizza, and they have a white cheddar. The white cheddar mysteriously
disappeared from the menu. My theory: Never existed. I think they lied. I think there was just lying. You think they lied and said
mozzarella is white cheddar? Yeah. I think so. Like, who's gonna check them? You're gonna have the FDA come
in with a probe and be like, "Hmm, that's not white cheddar." I actually listened to a podcast about cheese probing recently. Cheese probing? Yeah. It's a real thing. They, to test cheeses, they probe the cheese
with the cheese probe and then they pull out a core. But then sometimes, what
cheese makers will do, they'll have like a 100
pound barrel of cheese and they'll stack the top
with the good cheese and the 80% will be the crappy cheese. So, they gotta go real
deep with the probe. Oh. So they gotta probe really deep. Gotta probe really deep, right? To get the cheese. Go all the way in. So, no one really knows what
this sauce was made out of, But, my theory is that it was
alfredo sauce mixed with their cheddar sauce mixed
with their three teases. Again, we're using the cheddar sauce. You could say it was a four cheese mac if it had cheddar sauce,
plus three cheeses. In theory. Cause cheddar sauce is,
like, it's own whole cheese No, it's cheddar. The
cheese in there is cheddar. Cheddar is a legally
protected class of cheese. No, but like, it's a whole new cheese. [Both] Oh God! Oh geez! What's going on?! I knew that was gonna happen too! And I let it. The pan's just spinning. This is a bad precedent. Milk it! Milk it! Trevor, milk me! Okay! I'm milking you! Trevor, milk me! Thanks. Okay. So we're just gonna
add some alfredo sauce and milk in there. Just to thin it out. Trevor, start ripping open
these cheesy jalapeños. Oh god. That was a stressful start
to this cheese sauce! There's so much chemicals
in the alfredo sauce that it doesn't really come
to a boil or anything. All it does is just separate into, like, amorphous solid- Hopefully it mellows out. and plasma. Add in some white cheddar to that. That's just from the bag. We got bag cheese. I got . Yeah, wing it. I squeezed it and it broke. Tongue out the inside. Did you guys ever do that with the thing of ranch they give you? Feel like you can't get
it all with the pizza, so you kinda just, like, Oh no. You do not tongue- I really do. My favorite thing to do is take
a big bite of pizza and then take a sip of ranch from the
container because then you can trill the ranch like wine and
it opens up all the aromas. You get the buttermilk,-
Stop! You get peppercorn,
Stop! You're like, "Ooh, is that
a little bit of dill?" I can't open it anymore. Come on! Figure it out. Just pour in some gooey butter lube. No, that would make the problem worse! I'm just gonna start crushing them. We're you just crushing these in here? Like that? They're like slurpable Gogurts. Slurp one. Stop! It's fine. You're fine. So, we're just gonna wait for all this cheese to melt in here. And then we're going to toss in approximately nine penne noodles. Because I cannot stress to you enough. This was a bowl of queso that was spilling out in the delivery process. That said, it was still delicious. And we're going to try and recreate that. This is enough pasta for
about 20 bread vaults. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should've put that in a pizza box. Just the wet pasta and pizza box. Yeah, I don't know why
this happens to our pans. We should get new pans? I like how we'll spend like, $900 on a fancy fast food episode. And then just be like, "Eh, we shouldn't buy another $20 pan." Winging some penne. Like wing it? Yeah. Just really, kinda, toss them. Get just a couple in there. Yeah, that's probably good. So this is the consistency you want. You want to be able to
pull up one bite of pasta every, like, six spoonfuls. Now, let's get- You told me to stop, you goofball. That's way too, what are you doing? Is this too much?
Okay, that's good. Is this good? Yeah, that's nice and soupy. I think this is good. This is very soupy. You wanna give this a taste? Yeah, I do. Well, get it somewhere that doesn't
already have cheese on it. Yeah. Get it on my wrist. It's really good. it's somewhere, like, in
between a nacho cheese- Yeah. It's hot. Oh, that's tasty. That's nice though, right? Yeah, it's very, like- It's gonna be soaking
this up in the bread bowl. Yeah, wait, that's gonna be really good. This is gonna be really nice. Alright, Trevor. You ready to bake and assemble this? Put some more butter flavoring on it? Yeah! Sorry. I really wanna
learn how to knife fight. Just kinda casually. Like for sport. Not for prevention surveillance. I'm reading a book right now about it. It's called the "Luna Trilogy" and they all do knife fighting on the moon. Yeah. And who are you gonna knife fight? Oh my God. Well, if I was in the lunar world, I'd knife fight Robson Corta, heir to the Corta Hélio throne. So- Okay. What? No, Not you! Should we hollow this out? That's what I brought the knife for. Should we hollow this out? Cause right now we got
a solid little dome. This is good. This is the bones of it. This is what the Domino's
bread bowls looked like. But, I think if we make like a cut here, we can get more surface area to pour. cause I want a lot of that soup. Yeah. A lot of soup. Do you want to do the honors? Do you want to, kind
of, circumcise around? No. I want you to circumcise. Okay, okay. That seems like more your speed. Yeah, I mean, kinda. Just so you know, circumcise
just means to cut around. It's nothing to do with schmeckles. Oh, it has everything
to do with schmeckles. Yeah. In practice. But not, you know, the actual word. Yeah. It's like the word ejaculate. It's like, we're gonna ejaculate. That's just a word! It just became synonymous with sex, but it's not inherently. Like we're gonna ejaculate the cheese soup into the bowl.That's not dirty. I don't know what to tell people. They're just ignorant. So we're hollowing this out a little- Oh, wait, can I have some of that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I dip it in the cheese sauce? Yeah, of course. Get it in the soup. But like, I don't want to seem like I'm not trying to help, you know? No, no. You're helping perfectly. Do another bit from, like,
a central European country. Do you have, like, a
Slovak donut fryer bit? Yeah? Hit him with that. Okay. Hit him with your Slovakian accent. My name is Jeff! My name is Jeff. Alright. I'm happy with where this is at. Why'd you leave the middle in here? Well, I didn't want to
keep clawing it out. I don't have fingernails. Do you think Domino's has
got two bare hand employees in there just, kind of, fiddling with it. Yeah. Just really inefficiently. One thing Domino's is not is inefficient. I will tell you that. Also they did a great job
on their menu redesign. So I'm just gonna pour
all the soup in here. Okay. Well, you got some spillage. Uh oh. Yeah, Trevor, beaver it. No, this is how it was though. It spilled out like crazy all the time. That was the thing with
their pasta bread bowls. It's because they insisted
on filling it with the soup. I'm going to take this noodle out. Honestly, if you want
a great two ingredient mac and cheese, take some penne pasta and mix it with Tostito's queso. No, do the cheesy jalapeño
dip from Little Caesars. Get 15 packs of cheesy jalapeño dip, like we ordered from
Little Caesars yesterday. And so now, we're just gonna put a little
bit of cheese on there. We gotta brush this down with
garlic butter eventually too. Right? No garlic sauce, Josh. Yeah, they can't legally say butter It's not butter. [Both] I can't believe it's not butter! Because it's literally not even close. So, this is also not butter, but in a different way than the other thing that's not butter. Yeah, this is like a goo. This is just a butter scented goo. And it is delicious. Domino's did a really
impressive menu redesign in the mid 2000s. They asked people what
they wanted at a Domino's and they were like,
"More flavorful crust." And they were like, "Do you want us to just brush
literally every menu item we have down with our fake garlic butter?" And they were like, "Yeah! Yeah! Give me the
garlic butter! Yeah!" It's really good. And now it's like
everything in Domino's is covered in this garlic
butter and it is great. I can't wait to eat this. It might not look impressive right now, but, after the cheese gets
sweaty for four minutes in a 300 degree oven, it's going to look just as not impressive. Heck yeah! Trevor, can you smell that?! It smells like success. It smells like cheese sweat. Which is also a success in our world. Yeah! Weirdly enough. Let's take it out. This is looking nice and good. Again, you don't want the browning. You just want that cheese
to start to sweat on there and then we're gonna pack
this in a delivery box. Trevor's gonna drive around
Burbank for the next half hour and he's gonna fly it back in here. No, I'm not. Where are you gonna go? Trevor, you're gonna go down
to the water treatment plant? Gonna take a tour of Warner brothers? I'll take it to Costco. Oh, yeah. Perhaps get a nice 78
cents large beverage. Good Burbank landmark. Trevor, it's time to- [Both] Cut to the packaging! Trevor, we have brought the three, are you goblin stancing again? No, I'm just ready to eat. You want me to go goblin stance? Yeah, do that. So we brought the three cheese
mac and cheese bread bowl back from the wild,
wonderful year of the nine. But there's still There's still one more thing we got to do: Simulate the delivery experience. What are you doing? This is it in the delivery car. All right. Let's see. Look at that! That's exactly what we wanted here. It's nice and sweaty. You see there's still, you probe it, you get the liquid covering the fork. So, you wanna cut it in half. Wait, how are we gonna get through
this with the plastic fork. Actually, the cheese sauce has soaked through the crust so much that it's just wet. Wait, that came apart way too easily. Lets pull it apart and
the cheese must flow. Yes! Yes, Trevor! I want to eat it. Give me the ranch. I'm getting in. Oh, can you ranch me? I thought you'd never ask. Oh it's steaming! How is it? It eats like a soup. Yeah. I'm going hands, man. Oh. The crust has just
disintegrated in there. Hold on. Oh! Oh God. That's good. Oh, it's so hot! Oh God! Oh, so hot! I'm catching your drippings though. What's happening in your mouth? You're enjoying it, right? Yeah. There's no running from it. There's no running from how good this is. You can sit there and you
can be an elitist and go, oh that's carbs on carbs. Mama Domino, back in Sardinia,
never would have made that. This is pure Americana. This is what Domino's was founded for. So I'm gonna ask you the question, do you think they should bring it back? I don't know. You know, it's amazing,
but also, you know, some things are better left untouched. This is almost too beautiful
of a memory that I'm with you. I want to leave it in the past. But, if you want to bring it back, then tweet at Domino's on their #PastFood. Let them know your thoughts on it. Tell him that Josh and Travis sent ya and we're wicked smart. We're wicked smart! Go to the Domino's in
Gloucester, Massachusetts. Go, " Ey, If you're wicked smart, you'll bring back the three cheese mac and cheese bread bowl, and then you'll #PastFood!" Alright, thanks so much for stopping
