Today we're tasting food from
The Happiest Place on Earth. Let's talk about that. <i> ( music playing )</i> Good Mythical morning. Yeah, today we're gonna do
some yoga with giant snakes. Oy. And then we're gonna
be discovering the link between Nicolas Cage
and deodorant. - There is one, I'm told.
- Yes. But first, we're going
to Disneyland, y'all. Yes, Disneyland,
the place where dreams
come true, specifically food dreams, and I'm talking
about the one where you and your eighth grade
crush swim in pudding, not that I would know
anything about that because it's definitely not
a dream I've ever had. - No,
- Holly? ...we're talking
about the food-- not Holly-- at Disneyland. Disneyland is home to unique
and intriguing food that can only be purchased
on the premises, and that exclusivity makes me want it
so much more, but is it all really great, and what is the best? It's time for... Now, we are going to be ranking
them on this amazing board. We're going from the worst, which would
be M-I-C-K-E die... All right,
let's get started with an iconic Disney beverage,
the famed Dole Whip. Here it is. The unique Disneyland
frozen treat that people obsess over. Apparently-- I haven't had
this one ever. Now, ours is
a little melted. You know, it was acquired
from Disneyland, and it was brought back. So we're taking that
into account, the fact that we're not
currently at Disneyland. We're not
in the atmosphere. Some of these items
have changed a little bit on the trip up from Anaheim. Mm-hm. It's basically
pineapple juice soft serve but is it much more, as all the people rave about? It is good, though. It is good. And imagine you're out there,
you've been waiting in lines. For a dollar more,
you can make it a float. You got kids complaining
to their parents that it's hot. This is the perfect remedy
to that. I had this with the kids
one day. You know,
when it's sweltering, boy, this really
hits the spot. It's amazing. It's magical. I think they're all
gonna be pretty good. so I just think
that all we can do - is sort of just put it
in the middle.
- Yep. - You wanna put it
at three or four?
- Yep. So I'm gonna go
right there at four. Okay, all right, now, we're moving along to what I believe is the most iconic dish at Disneyland. - I know you do.
- The corn dog. Bring in the corn dog. Now, listen. I actually-- we once took a Mythical
crew trip to Disneyland, and I made everyone eat
corn dogs for lunch. I was like,
"I don't even care if you've never had one,
I don't even care-- - We had to plan
our whole trip around
- If you're vegan, you have to eat one
or you're fired. No, I didn't do that.
I would never do that. It's like we had to be
at the Corn Dog Castle at a time when everybody
was hungry, and Rhett gathered
everybody around and he was like,
"I'm buying all the corn dogs." - Yeah.
- He was pretty excited. Of course, this is in
California Adventure. Now, this is 8.75. You can get it
at the Little Red Wagon, the Stage Door Café
in Frontierland, or the best place to get it
if you're gonna get one the Corn Dog Castle. It's a friggin' kingdom that does nothing but make - corn dogs.
- Um... I'm a mustard man
when it comes to
the corn dog. I don't like to defile it
with ketchup. I am too. I don't like mustard
on a lot of things, but mustard is perfect
for a corn dog, and let me tell you. Oh, man. I have not had a corn dog
better than this corn dog. What is the secret? Look at the batter. The batter
is incredible, and-- It's so uniform. It held up. It's not lumpy in any way.
It's, like, smooth. When you take this right out
of the fryer, it's amazing, - but it's still incredible.
- It's so good. It's really crispy
on the outside, and kind of cakey
on the inside, but not milly at all. There's no milliness. It's almost like cornbread
consistency. - Oh, my gosh.
- Don't let anybody make you
feel self-conscious about enjoying a corn dog. Do worry about the GIFs
that you're creating
when you're eating it. This is already
a tough choice - because they're so different.
- Not a chance. No, the corn dog
is way better than that
pineapple mixture thing. This is a magical mixture, but this is a magical meal,
which to me, I'm gonna agree.
I mean, I'll put it above it. I'm not gonna go
all the way to one. Well, no, there's
no need for that yet. Right off the bat. Right there. Corn dog. All right, we're gonna get
even more meaty now. The Disneyland turkey leg is a time-honored tradition of eating
a gargantuan hunk of meat on a stick. Now, let's bring
these suckers in. They are absolutely massive. Good gracious.
I have not seen these. I see these at,
like, a fair. Oh, I've seen people
walking around. Me and you,
I think both of us have a bias
against turkey legs, because we've had
this discussion before. - There was--
- It's like a genetically
altered chicken leg. I think-- you know what?
This all goes back to the one
time at the state fair. Do you remember this? - Yeah, I do.
- When we were in high school, and we thought
these would be great, and we got them at
the North Carolina State Fair, and we both took
a couple of bites, and we were like, "There's something
just too rich," or I don't know what it was,
but ever since then, we've just looked at people
enjoying turkey legs with disdain. It has this
barbaric kind of-- I don't mind that at all. Of course I don't mind that. People walking around--
like five-year-olds walking around with this
as big as their upper torso. ( imitates munching ) Normally, that's something
I would be into. That's what I'm saying,
so it's kind of weird
that I'm not into it. but it's been many years.
Let me go back. It's remarkably hammy. How do they do it? ( hamming it up )
How do they do it, Rhett? How do they make it
so remarkably hammy? Now, Ellie told us that one of the secrets is that these are
exclusively made by-- from male--
not by male turkeys. The male turkeys are not
making their own turkey legs. These are male turkeys. Tom turkeys, they call those. And while a lot of other ones
might be female turkeys, and there's a distinct
difference in the taste of male and female turkeys, and for some reason Disney said,
"Let's do male turkeys only." That's the secret, Link. That's how they make it
so hammy. Does that make you
like it more? I don't know,
'cause I am a man. I mean, I like
a good chicken leg, but when I'm at
a park of happiness, I don't wanna have, like, the animal parts
in front of my mind when I'm eating. This is too not
dissociated from-- This is so dissociated. It's like a beautiful
package of-- Right, what part of
the animal's a corn dog? So I'm just gonna-- I think it goes down here. I don't like it as much
as the Dole Whip. I'm in agreement.
M-I-C-K-E WHY? All right, now,
if I had to pick one city for Disneyland
to immortalize, my first thought would be
Buies Creek, North Carolina,
our homeland, but they chose New Orleans
instead, which is fine. - Mm-hm.
- If you visit that section
of the park, you apparently must try
a Cafe Orleans
Monte Cristo sandwich. I have not tried this. This is absolutely
incredible looking. Turkey, ham,
and Swiss sandwich fried in light batter, dusted with powdered sugar, and served
with a berry puree. How have I missed this? It's got a-- so it--
it starts out savory and then as it moves towards
the outside, it gets it sweet. But if you dip it in this, the berry puree first,
it starts sweet. Yeah. Oh, my wow. "Oh, my wow." Good gosh, it's like eating a
meat-and-cheese-stuffed donut. It almost seems wrong. - Mm-mm.
- You know what I'm saying? It's like when
you're doing something that's wrong but feels right. You don't want anybody
to see you. That-- that's what's
happening right now. So many flavors hit you. - The fact that
it's got cheese--
- It's got all the food groups. The fact that
it's got cheese
and it's got some sweetness... - Mm-hm.
- I don't wanna dethrone
the corn dog. I really don't wanna do it, but I'm really leaning
towards it right now. I gotta taste
this corn dog again. Who would've thought
you could stick the sandwich
in some berries? I think the corn dog is just
a little bit better. Let me-- I'm coming down here. It's just more refined. Yeah, it's two things but it really becomes
one thing. This is just like-- As the corn dog king himself, I feel like I have
the authority to issue a new decree. You think so? The Monte Cristo sandwich
is better than a corn dog. I feel like you've gotta go
with me on this, man. You gotta ride this train. I am on the fence, so I
will gladly go with you. I mean, I never thought
I would say it, but it's absolutely incredible. The corn dog king
has dethroned himself. Sorry.
I mean, you can't be
a king forever. M-I-C-K-E Must Try. Okay, now we are moving to
something that is available
in Cars Land, - which is my favorite place
in all of Disneyland.
- Love that place. It's cool, man. I've never heard
of this either. It is the Bacon
Mac 'n' Cheese cone Creamy mac 'n' cheese, littered with bacon bits, packed into a swirly
golden bread cone. - Link: Whah...
- I mean, how-- - I've been there--
( stammers )
- How are we missing this? We're waiting in lines
for rides, like losers. We're idiots.
We're Disney idiots. - We're stupid.
- Gosh, I hate us. It's like a cornucopia
of genius. Can you hear
the ocean in it? I can hear mac 'n' cheese. I can hear my future in it. Grand enjoyment. Oh, it's great.
There's no denying it's great. You can't eat-- Like if you went to Disney, and you ate this
and the Monte Cristo sandwich in the same day-- You'd keel over. Yeah, that's too much. 'Course, we're about
to do it right now. Yeah, we'll do it. But you've gotta make
a choice. You gotta be,
"What heart attack
am I going to have at Disneyland today?" It's really, really,
really good. I would definitely get it, but in my mind,
there's no way it beats either the corn dog or the Monte Cristo
at this point. I'm a fan of the Dole Whip. I don't wanna move that down. Okay, I personally am more
a fan of savory than sweet, but I made
the corn dog king decision, so I'll let you do that. We're moving that one
into slot number five. And now let's eat a churro. You can find them
all around Disney, but we got our hands
on a special edition churro. This one is
the Rose Gold Churro that's found outside
of Sleeping Beauty's Castle, which, by the way, is smaller
than you'd think it would be. Yeah, it's bigger
in your mind. Yeah, even now. It's growing in my mind. $5.25 for this churro. It's got strawberry-flavored
sprinkles and gold sprinkles on it. Oh, that's magical. It smells good. And it is very pretty. Let's eat it. Now, again, ours has made
the trek back from Anaheim. Churros really need
to be enjoyed... Fresh off the cart. ...right out of the cart. But if we put ourselves
back in that place... that's a very
unique experience. It's got everything you would
expect from a churro. I still think
there's cinnamon in it. But then that strawberry
hits you, and you're like,
"Whoa, this is surprising." I really like it, but it's not
a mind-blowing experience. - You know what I'm saying?
- Not to me. It's not the kind of thing
that I would gather all my employees up
and force them to eat. You know what I'm saying? I'll do that with corn dogs. Right.
And I'm kind of biased against
strawberry-flavored things, because I usually
don't opt for those, so if you love
strawberry-flavored things, you're no doubt gonna put
this higher than we're
about to rank it. Um, so let's rank this, and then let's see
what we're gonna do 'cause there's nothing
in the number-one slot, and we're not gonna put
the churros there, right? - We agree.
- Right. I'm actually putting this
pretty low. Ellie was talking huge.
She loves this thing. - Maybe she was throwing us off.
- I'm sorry, Ellie. I think this is
your number one, Ellie? Ellie: Yes! But for us, I'm gonna put it-- It's better
than a turkey leg. We'll give you that. I'm gonna put it
way down here. But here's the thing here. We gotta talk about this. Well, Ellie pointed
something out, and I do want to take this
into account. She pointed out,
reminded us, that the Monte Cristo sandwich is available only at a reservation-only
cafe, the Cafe Orleans, and it's $21. 21 friggin' dollars. Whereas you can get
this corn dog for 8.75, which is a lot
for a corn dog, but you can get it
at a friggin' castle, which is actually
just a little booth, and two other places, so it's readily accessible, and it's the perfect thing
to walk around Disney, so I think the portability and the availability
and the affordability-- Is the corn dog king trying
to take back the throne? I'm just saying-- the corn dog
king can do what he wants. The corn dog king needs
to consult with the hand
of the corn dog king. Okay, all right, what do you-- Who is really the guy
with all the power. - Let's be real.
- What do you think? You're just
a sniveling child who rants about corn dogs
all day, and I'm making decisions
for the realm. You think I 'm like Joffrey? Is that
what you're trying to say? But I do agree with myself and the thoughts that
I planted in the king's mind, We oughtta--
we gotta-- This thing is--
well, not in its current form, but this is
a beautiful entity... It was a beautiful entity. ...that must be enjoyed. Move that
to the number-one spot. And it looks
like a number one. Move the Monte Cristo
to number two. Move the Dole Whip, which I just can't get enough
of, to number three. Then you've got
the cone of happiness, the churro
of strawberriness, and the leg of--
I say nastiness,
but you might love it. - Forgettable turkey.
- At number five. There it is.

I've never wanted a corn dog so bad in my entire life.
I agree best corn dogs I've ever had! Love GMM! Any other mythical beasts here on the DL thread ?!
That melted Dole Whip looked so sad! But I still think the soft serve at the parks is the best! Along with Bengal BBQ 😍
I'm not really a fan of turkey legs in the first place but I can't image they'd be much better after being transported from the parks lol
I, for one, LOVE the DL Turkey Legs.
Pretty good selection of DL treats.
More nostalgia for me but when I go to the park I love eating fries and enjoying show at horseshoe, and getting the clam chowder bread bowl at New Orleans Square. Defintely agree the corndog is one of the best.
Food isnt super great for the price, but anything anything in the blue bayou is pretty magical, just such a immersive experience.
