## Summary

This video features a taste test competition of 12 iconic cartoon foods, including the Krabby Patty, Sanji's Curry, and Garfield's Lasagna, with special guest judge Bill Oakley, former showrunner of The Simpsons. The foods are battled in a bracket-style tournament to determine the ultimate cartoon food champion.

### Key Points

- **Ratatouille vs. Garfield's Lasagna** [17:35] — Ratatouille from the film is healthy and balanced, but Garfield's lasagna wins for its meaty, cheesy comfort.
- **Jake's Sandwich vs. Gotcha Roast Pork** [19:45] — Gotcha Roast Pork from Food Wars, a bacon-wrapped potato roast with a sweet-soy glaze, beats Jake's sandwich due to unique flavor.
- **Semifinal: Krabby Patty vs. Sanji's Curry** [22:12] — Krabby Patty wins because it's something judges could eat every day, while the curry is too powerful for daily consumption.

- **Final: Krabby Patty vs. Gotcha Roast Pork** [24:11] — Krabby Patty wins with a score of 25.3 vs. 24.3. Judges cite its timelessness and ability to never get sick of it.

### Conclusion

The Krabby Patty from SpongeBob SquarePants is crowned the best cartoon food, praised for its timeless appeal and balance. The competition highlights that simplicity and familiarity often beat novelty.

## Transcript

I remember the first time I gained consciousness.&nbsp; It was when Spongebob forgot the Krabby Patty&nbsp;&nbsp; formula. I know you remember that. Ever since&nbsp; then, I've wanted to try a Krabby Patty. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; what if there was a way to do that? That is&nbsp; why today we are going to make and taste the&nbsp;&nbsp;
top 12 most popular foods from various cartoons&nbsp; ranging from Spongebob, One Piece, The Simpsons,&nbsp;&nbsp; and many others of which will fight to win the&nbsp; title of the best cartoon food ever. These are all&nbsp;&nbsp;
foods voted on by you. The top four vocators are&nbsp; going to receive a first round buy while the other&nbsp;&nbsp; eight duke it out in round one. Starting with&nbsp; our first matchup, number nine, Bacon and Eggs&nbsp;&nbsp; from How's Moving Castle. The competitor number&nbsp; eight, the bet it all on black garlic burger from&nbsp;&nbsp;
Bob's Burgers. For the record, Drive My Car was&nbsp; in second place. You know, I know a lot of people&nbsp;&nbsp; were asking for it, but you can buy black garlic&nbsp; or you can make it. It's actually not that hard.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just don't try stealing it from Fig Jam. Now, most&nbsp; of the videos online use the Bob's Burger Cookbook&nbsp;&nbsp;
as fact, but we did our detective work. And guess&nbsp; what? Everyone was wrong. The version Bob makes&nbsp;&nbsp; in the show is totally different from the book.&nbsp; On the show, Bob makes an onion parm red wine&nbsp;&nbsp; vinegar sauce that we presume is pureed because&nbsp; the bottom bun gets shredded Roma, diced tomatoes,&nbsp;&nbsp;
and a drizzle of the sauce. There's no onions in&nbsp; sight at all. Now, spread on the black garlic,&nbsp;&nbsp; the only ingredient actually mentioned on your&nbsp; cooked burger patty. Add it to your bottom bun&nbsp;&nbsp; and crown with a mayor brushed top bun. The only&nbsp; thing that I would hope that we would achieve is&nbsp;&nbsp;
some sort of a reaction that might have us going,&nbsp; "This is an exquisite mouthfield." Next up,&nbsp;&nbsp; number nine, bacon eggs from Howal's Moving&nbsp; Castle. While we didn't have an open fire,&nbsp;&nbsp; there is a calcifer appearance. The cartoonishly&nbsp; wide bacon is everything here, and we're committed&nbsp;&nbsp;
to that. So, we're meat gluing two pork blets&nbsp; together, placing it in sousvid, slicing it,&nbsp;&nbsp; and roasting it. This was not an easy task, but we&nbsp; wanted to get it right. And then we finished off&nbsp;&nbsp; in the frying pan with our eggs. Feed Kel for the&nbsp; shells, of course. Look, we didn't have Miyazaki's&nbsp;&nbsp;
budget here. Cook the eggs sunny side up right in&nbsp; the baking grease until the whites are set. Get a&nbsp;&nbsp; big block of cheese, some fresh bread, and a hot&nbsp; cup of tea ready. And of course, two spoons and a&nbsp;&nbsp; fork. Our judges today are Chef Christian, a kid&nbsp; at heart with a very discerning palette. But our&nbsp;&nbsp;
second judge is someone we could have never&nbsp; expected. Someone who has brought smiles all&nbsp;&nbsp; across the earth. Bill Oakley, former showrunner&nbsp; and head writer of The Simpsons. I'd love to say&nbsp;&nbsp; it's a small world because now he's making food&nbsp; content and what he calls an elevated lowbrow&nbsp;&nbsp;
reviewer on Instagram. We're a big fan of him and&nbsp; we're happy to have him here. I mean, this is eggs&nbsp;&nbsp; and bacon, but you do have a very big block of&nbsp; cheese and some bread and some hot tea. This is&nbsp;&nbsp; kind of fire serving like a bacon steak like that.&nbsp; Amazing idea. So, instead of getting a ton of tiny&nbsp;&nbsp;
slices that are super crispy and maybe almost dry,&nbsp; instead you get this thick, beautiful, luscious,&nbsp;&nbsp; almost steak-like slice of bacon. It's salty.&nbsp; It's fatty. And of course, you got some fried&nbsp;&nbsp; eggs. It's a fried egg, so it's not that special,&nbsp; right? But altogether, this makes a pretty classic&nbsp;&nbsp;
the cheese is really what puts it over the top for&nbsp; me. Something about that particular cheese on top&nbsp;&nbsp; of this stuff takes it to another level. The bacon&nbsp; thick and luscious. The egg runny. The tea kind of&nbsp;&nbsp;
does help wash it all down. Let's bring out the&nbsp; burger and see where that stacks up. I will say&nbsp;&nbsp; visually to me this looks like a very average&nbsp; burger. It looks like a burger from a cartoon,&nbsp;&nbsp; which is exactly what it is. It looks like if you&nbsp; were to draw Archie comics 1959, they're having&nbsp;&nbsp;
a burger in Pop's Chocolate Shop. That's what it&nbsp; would look like. It's actually a very good point.&nbsp;&nbsp; garlic. So, let's taste. You know, it's leaving a&nbsp; lot to be desired. I don't know if I would bet it&nbsp;&nbsp;
all on this black garlic burger. It's shockingly&nbsp; bland. Even the black garlic is barely noticeable.&nbsp;&nbsp; would say it's like tasty, but it's not like blow&nbsp; my mind. I'd come back to this restaurant if it&nbsp;&nbsp;
some other element. Also, I noticed there's no&nbsp; like acid like a pickle. Yeah, it's lacking in&nbsp;&nbsp; is what we're talking about here. So, let's vote.&nbsp; One, two, three. Woo! Oh, crazy. I thought you&nbsp;&nbsp;
were a writer. I know you're an artist. It&nbsp; seems odd at first glance, bacon and eggs&nbsp;&nbsp; beating a burger, and I get that, but honestly,&nbsp; the burger wasn't that good. Yeah. Sometimes&nbsp;&nbsp; there's beauty and simplicity, and I think this&nbsp; is one of those moments. Moving on. Number nine,&nbsp;&nbsp;
Bacon and Eggs from How's Moving Castle moves&nbsp; on to the next round to face our number one&nbsp;&nbsp; seated Krabby Patty from Spongebob. Our next first&nbsp; round battle is an anime showdown. Number five,&nbsp;&nbsp; Naruto versus number 12, One Piece. Ramen may be&nbsp; the real secret to Naruto's success. Specifically,&nbsp;&nbsp;
extra-L large miso tonkotsu ramen with extra&nbsp; chashu from Ichiaku ramen. Now, here's the funny&nbsp;&nbsp; thing. I actually order my ramen exactly like&nbsp; this. and I ordered it like this before I even&nbsp;&nbsp; knew about Naruto. That said, I've made tonkotu&nbsp; the hard way and an easy way that I've devised,&nbsp;&nbsp;
to learn how to make it. We never saw exactly how&nbsp; Naruto's favorite ramen is built, but I've worked&nbsp;&nbsp; with enough Japanese chefs and this is how I do&nbsp; it. First, a nice miso, then a rich tonkotu broth,&nbsp;&nbsp;
creamy and delicious. Of course, cooked straight&nbsp; ramen noodles. There's absolutely no dipping ramen&nbsp;&nbsp; here. Followed by an extra heaping helping of&nbsp; chashu. Your soy aiama egg men which is bamboo&nbsp;&nbsp; shoots. Naruto maki or fish cakes. This look&nbsp; familiar to you? Did sliced green onion. Nori. I&nbsp;&nbsp;
he's expending. But realistically, I would also&nbsp; eat this every day even without a lifetime pass to&nbsp;&nbsp; Ichiraku Ramen. Next up, number 12, Sanji's curry,&nbsp; aka Marine Captain's Curry from One Piece. You've&nbsp;&nbsp;
been asking me to make this dish for a long time.&nbsp; It starts with freshly ground garam masala. Then&nbsp;&nbsp; we go on to seasoning and marinating our beef with&nbsp; aromatics and yogurt. Next, we finally dice onions&nbsp;&nbsp; cooked until beautifully browned and caramelized.&nbsp; Then we blanch tomatoes so that we can peel their&nbsp;&nbsp;
skin off. Now to the lard flour base of a curry&nbsp; r. We then add curry powder and garam masala.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mix until lightly brown and fragrant. Then to&nbsp; a pot of boiling carrots and potatoes, we add&nbsp;&nbsp; the curry r beeftock, the tomatoes, and of course&nbsp; those beautiful brown onions. Give it a mix. And&nbsp;&nbsp;
finally, we add our marinated meat and cook. Bring&nbsp; it to a boil, simmer, reduce. Finish that off with&nbsp;&nbsp; some nice sweetness from a freshly grated apple.&nbsp; Serve it up on a beautiful marine plate. And let's&nbsp;&nbsp; let you guys down on this. Naruto versus One&nbsp; Piece. Which show is better? That's not what&nbsp;&nbsp;
we're answering today, actually. But we are going&nbsp; to find out which of these dishes is better. Let's&nbsp;&nbsp; start with One Piece. Yeah. Oh, wow. It's going&nbsp; to be hard for any other cartoon dish to compete&nbsp;&nbsp; against this. This is the type of dish where you&nbsp; take a bite and you're like, "Maybe I'll just&nbsp;&nbsp;
have a little about 30 or 40 more times until the&nbsp; plate is empty." It's a classic Japanese curry,&nbsp;&nbsp; but a little bit elevated. I mean, you've got&nbsp; this like succulent, fatty beef, incredibly spicer&nbsp;&nbsp; curry sauce, and it's just so rich, but it's not&nbsp; too heavy. There's a little bit of sweetness from&nbsp;&nbsp;
that apple. I could eat a gallon of this. We&nbsp; still got seven more dishes to go. Now, we&nbsp;&nbsp; have Ichiu ramen. Cheers. How is Naruto not fat?&nbsp; He's burning mad calories. This is what I imagine&nbsp;&nbsp; Naruto feels when he's at the bar just housing&nbsp; it, asking for more. I've always found that the&nbsp;&nbsp;
more amount of noodles that I can get in my mouth,&nbsp; the better. This is ridiculous. It's anxious. It's&nbsp;&nbsp; creamy. It's almost like every flavor you want in&nbsp; one bowl. There's nothing missing. But I I don't&nbsp;&nbsp; and it really comes down to what you personally&nbsp; like. The curry makes me crazy. This is great,&nbsp;&nbsp;
but it doesn't make me crazy. M interesting. I&nbsp; mean, they're both heartwarming, right? One, two,&nbsp;&nbsp; three. Boom. Samji's curry upsets our number&nbsp; five seated ramen from Naruto. To be fair,&nbsp;&nbsp;
they're both delicious dishes, but we don't have&nbsp; time to talk about it, so we're moving on. Now,&nbsp;&nbsp; we have the battle of the fat man versus the fat&nbsp; cat. This is Family Guy versus Garfield. First up,&nbsp;&nbsp; Family Guy's car panini. Look, if you try to&nbsp; put Peter Griffin on a diet, he'll escape to the&nbsp;&nbsp;
convenience store and probably make this in his&nbsp; car. So, I begrudgingly did the same. car panini,&nbsp;&nbsp; panini press, bread, three sausages, peanut&nbsp; butter cup. Of course, don't forget your crumbled&nbsp;&nbsp;
Doritos, and then a Cadbury egg cracked right on&nbsp; top. Oh god, I don't ever want to see this image&nbsp;&nbsp; again. Now, you might be thinking, "Oh, well, what&nbsp; about cleaning your hands? Why are these so big,&nbsp;&nbsp; Hannes? Whose are these?" It's used as a bib,&nbsp; too. Well, good thing it looks like this now. My&nbsp;&nbsp;
god. There is quite literally nothing good about&nbsp; how this sandwich is made. After we pressed it,&nbsp;&nbsp; the filling barely stayed in the sandwich. And&nbsp; well, let's be real, it doesn't look good either.&nbsp;&nbsp; Next up, lasagna from Garfield. Wow, there's no&nbsp; definitive recipe out there, but we did lean into&nbsp;&nbsp;
a comic strip where the owner, John, actually&nbsp; makes the lasagna. And hearing Garfield say in&nbsp;&nbsp; his first movie, I like it for the cheese and the&nbsp; meat and the sauce. Are those not all the basic&nbsp;&nbsp; things that make up a lasagna? So, first, a layer&nbsp; of bolognese. A layer of freshly cooked lasagna&nbsp;&nbsp;
sheets. More bolognese, raakota, and another&nbsp; layer of lasagna sheets. Repeat this a few more&nbsp;&nbsp; times to top with a heavy dose of mozzarella and&nbsp; bake until a deep rich golden brown. Now we can&nbsp;&nbsp; enjoy nature's most perfect food according to&nbsp; Garfield, not me. Garfield kind of popped off&nbsp;&nbsp;
on that lasagna. This is [&nbsp;__&nbsp;] insane. Thank&nbsp; god we have Garfield's lasagna. But you know,&nbsp;&nbsp; this could be good hypothetically. Never say&nbsp; never. Uh let's start with the best dish here.&nbsp;&nbsp; This looks like a cross-section that I saw&nbsp; possibly in my nightmares. It's grotesque.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Intentionally. I mean, it can't be that bad,&nbsp; right? I mean, look at Peter. He's okay.&nbsp;&nbsp; It's the Cadbury egg that derails the whole thing.&nbsp; It would be tolerable if it weren't for that. It's&nbsp;&nbsp;
repulsive. I mean, it's intentionally repulsive.&nbsp; That was the joke in Family Guy to begin with that&nbsp;&nbsp; this was gross. And it pays off. In real life,&nbsp; it's just as nauseating. It almost evolves from&nbsp;&nbsp; like, oh, there's sausage and then there's some&nbsp; sweetness. Okay, now it tastes like chocolate&nbsp;&nbsp;
and then it transitions to vomit. The sausage and&nbsp; Dorito part was pretty good, but it's when that&nbsp;&nbsp; freaking Cadbury egg swarms your mouth you want&nbsp; to barf. All right, lasagna. I mean, you know,&nbsp;&nbsp; I don't even think we need to vote. It's standard&nbsp; lasagna. And I think anything that isn't vomit on&nbsp;&nbsp;
a plate would beat this. And so, what's your vote?&nbsp; Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. There's really not much&nbsp;&nbsp; to be said. Peter, look, you did something. It&nbsp; does smell quite a bit. That said, moving on. And&nbsp;&nbsp; Garfield's lasagna moves on to the next round. Not&nbsp; really a surprise here. In our final first round&nbsp;&nbsp;
battle, we have Jake's perfect sandwich from&nbsp; Adventure Time. Something I've always wanted&nbsp;&nbsp; to try. And up next, The Simpsons Rib Witch from&nbsp; Crusty Burger. Jake's perfect sandwich. Let's make&nbsp;&nbsp; a sandwich that is bigger than any other sandwich&nbsp; I think I've ever made in my entire life. Now,&nbsp;&nbsp;
we'll start by torching our bread. Spread both&nbsp; sides with cream cheese. Next, some sprigs of&nbsp;&nbsp; dill on your top bun. On the bottom bun, pickles&nbsp; from Frismo. Add some sliced boiled egg along with&nbsp;&nbsp;
any bird you can find from a window. Followed by&nbsp; sliced cucumbers, Roma tomatoes, yellow onion,&nbsp;&nbsp; and of course, the finest seasoning, tears for&nbsp; salt. At least that's what Jake would do. Finally,&nbsp;&nbsp; our steak. Next up, bacon. And lastly, you didn't&nbsp; think we'd leave out the soul of a lobster,&nbsp;&nbsp;
did you? And honestly, I thought this was going to&nbsp; look bad, but it's amazing. Thankfully, Magic Man&nbsp;&nbsp; didn't show up before our tasting because I want&nbsp; to put this in my mouth. Now, on to number 10,&nbsp;&nbsp; The Simpsons Rib Witch from Crusty Burger. You&nbsp; want this before the meat supply goes extinct.&nbsp;&nbsp;
And speaking of meat, we used a mixture of ground&nbsp; pork, ground beef, and ground bacon because the&nbsp;&nbsp; actual meat is unnamed and may have more legs than&nbsp; a pig. Now, I'll let you decide if we added that.&nbsp;&nbsp; in a nice barbecue sauce placed on a butter&nbsp; toasted bun. And this probably looks nothing&nbsp;&nbsp;
like the imposttor at Universal Studios. So,&nbsp; prepare for pupil dilation. Dude, this is absurd.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think if Jake the dog was real and he saw this&nbsp; right now, I feel like he'd be proud of us. I'm&nbsp;&nbsp; stunned at how much this really looks like it came&nbsp; from Adventure Time. It's like somebody shined a&nbsp;&nbsp;
magic ray into the TV and brought that drawing to&nbsp; life. It just has visual elements of that show all&nbsp;&nbsp; over it. And then we have a very special, albeit&nbsp; much smaller, from the Simpsons, the Rib Witch,&nbsp;&nbsp; which I love that this has the seal that said&nbsp; it's not just good, it's good enough. It does look&nbsp;&nbsp;
hilariously more appetizing just cuz it's simple,&nbsp; right? You've got like the caramelized meat and a&nbsp;&nbsp; bun. As someone who worked on the Simpsons for&nbsp; many years, I always thought that Crusty Burger&nbsp;&nbsp; was most closely aligned with Burger King. This&nbsp; looks to me like it's Burger King's version of&nbsp;&nbsp;
McRib. So therefore, I pronounce it faithful to&nbsp; the show cuz it's small and kind of sad looking.&nbsp;&nbsp; It's not about size, it's about taste. So, let's&nbsp; taste. There's a steak on here, too, right?&nbsp;&nbsp; Honestly, it's pretty good. What are y'all's first&nbsp; thoughts? It's a lot. I don't even know if I got&nbsp;&nbsp;
huge, you can't get it into your mouth. I kind of&nbsp; like it. The bar of practicality is in hell, but&nbsp;&nbsp; it tastes great. You got some fresh cucumber. You&nbsp; have some pickles. This is a gnarly club sandwich.&nbsp;&nbsp;
It's got poultry, bacon. I do like the two kinds&nbsp; of cucumbers, a pickle and a fresh. Okay, not bad.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, pitting it up against the rib witch. How do&nbsp; you feel about it? Masterful job of approximating&nbsp;&nbsp; the level of quality that you'd find at Crusty&nbsp; Burger. I kind of like that it was simple. In&nbsp;&nbsp;
a weird way, I feel like if George Moes was here,&nbsp; he would eat this and be like, "This is perfect."&nbsp;&nbsp; Texturally, it's not dry. It's definitely meaty.&nbsp; And the barbecue sauce on there is like a pretty,&nbsp;&nbsp; you know, run-of-the-mill barbecue sauce, but&nbsp; everything pulled together into one sandwich.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If it's there, I'm eating it. Yeah. Three and a&nbsp; two and a one. I almost voted for the rib witch,&nbsp;&nbsp; but what put me over the edge was what would I&nbsp; go back and eat again and again? And honestly,&nbsp;&nbsp; the adventure time sandwich is good. It's just too&nbsp; damn big. You would go back and eat it again and&nbsp;&nbsp;
again and it would still be there. That's how much&nbsp; sandwich is in there. So, moving on. Number seven,&nbsp;&nbsp; Jake's perfect sandwich beats The Simpsons Rib&nbsp; Witch to move on to the quarterfinals. Onto our&nbsp;&nbsp; first quarterfinal matchup. Bacon and eggs from&nbsp; How's Moving Castle moves on to face our number&nbsp;&nbsp;
one seated Krabby Patty from Spongebob. This could&nbsp; possibly be one of the most exciting things we&nbsp;&nbsp; could be making today. For me personally, I watch&nbsp; reruns of Spongebob and I have always wanted to&nbsp;&nbsp; try the Krabby Patty. The funny thing is Spongebob&nbsp; makes it differently almost every single time.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Nickelodeon shows 23 ways and the wiki has over&nbsp; 70. So get your King Neptune's Poseidon powder&nbsp;&nbsp; season patty cooking. We flip it with our trusty&nbsp; spatula. We top it with two pickles with ketchup&nbsp;&nbsp; smiley faces tucked under a slice of cheese. A&nbsp; then another pickle cuz I saw an image that had&nbsp;&nbsp;
a pickle here too, so why not? Top with sliced&nbsp; red onion, tomato, one nice leaf of lettuce,&nbsp;&nbsp; and on the other side of our bun, mustard, and&nbsp; more ketchup. And the real secret ingredient,&nbsp;&nbsp; the one that nobody ever knew was there. Love. I&nbsp; should also add that you can't forget to read it&nbsp;&nbsp;
a bedtime story, which we did do off camera. And&nbsp; one thing's for sure, when we eat this, we did not&nbsp;&nbsp; forget the pickles. Okay, it's there. Let's eat.&nbsp; We made it to the quarterfinals. We have How's&nbsp;&nbsp; Moving Castle versus the Krabby Patty. This might&nbsp; be the most iconic food on the whole list. Now,&nbsp;&nbsp;
I always thought, even though Mr. Crabs runs the&nbsp; restaurant that this was going to have crab in&nbsp;&nbsp; it. Here's a theory. Mr. Krab is the only crab in&nbsp; the whole show. So, is it made out of his family?&nbsp;&nbsp; Yes. I mean, off the bat, this is a better burger.&nbsp; This is a really tough call, man. This is a good&nbsp;&nbsp;
burger, but this is an excellent breakfast.&nbsp; True. This is generally a balanced burger.&nbsp;&nbsp; Properly seasoned. The cheese is proper. It's got&nbsp; pickles, lettuce, tomato. Like, this is the most&nbsp;&nbsp; standard ingredients for a burger. I was extremely&nbsp; happy with my burger. Yeah, it's super good. But&nbsp;&nbsp;
but I haven't really had a breakfast that's&nbsp; like this. This is the toughest call so far.&nbsp;&nbsp; What would I have again? And again, and I think&nbsp; I know my answer with a three and a two and a&nbsp;&nbsp; one. Bing bing bing bing. Yes, Spongebob. Thank&nbsp; god. This was the toughest call of this entire&nbsp;&nbsp;
thing. I could have that burger twice a day for 50&nbsp; years. Also, nutritionally, the burger is probably&nbsp;&nbsp; I've had cheese, and I have tea. But just the&nbsp; setup of all of that, I thought that beat the&nbsp;&nbsp;
And then for dessert, the toilet. Moving on. So,&nbsp; the Krabby Patty moves into the semifinals. Now,&nbsp;&nbsp; we have the number 12 seated Sanji's Curry facing&nbsp; Regular Shows Ultimatum Sandwich. I'm going to be&nbsp;&nbsp;
honest, this is a monstrosity. When I first saw&nbsp; this, I thought, "Wow, there's no way that's&nbsp;&nbsp; possible." Supposedly, it's only made once every&nbsp; hundred years. So, thank God after we make this,&nbsp;&nbsp; we won't have to see it again. We'll start by&nbsp; deep frying two burger patties and making them&nbsp;&nbsp;
into cheeseburgers. Believe it or not, those&nbsp; will then become our buns. Take a separate&nbsp;&nbsp; cooked cheeseburger and wrap with ground beef.&nbsp; M dectable. And sear on all sides until cooked&nbsp;&nbsp; through. Terrific. Now place your cheeseburger&nbsp; stuffed burger on the bottom cheeseburger bun and&nbsp;&nbsp;
add your Himalayan ketchup, which is Hines spiced&nbsp; with Himalayan aromatics, which hopefully Pops&nbsp;&nbsp; would approve of. Now crown it with your other&nbsp; deep fried burger. And uh I guess that's it. I&nbsp;&nbsp; would allow Benson to eat this before I got to it&nbsp; if I'm being honest. I don't think that there's&nbsp;&nbsp;
anybody that really actually wants this. Is there&nbsp; a burger in that thing? There's a burger inside&nbsp;&nbsp; this burger. I worked on Regular Show. Really? How&nbsp; did that work? What was that like? It was fun. It&nbsp;&nbsp; was JG Quintel had a short and they were like, you&nbsp; help him come up with all the necessary stuff to&nbsp;&nbsp;
convince the executives that this can be a series.&nbsp; And we did come up with the first four episodes&nbsp;&nbsp; and like a sort of little bible for the show and&nbsp; stuff. It was really fun. That's amazing. Sanji's&nbsp;&nbsp; Curry versus the Ultimatum. There are parts of my&nbsp; brain that say this is good and there are other&nbsp;&nbsp;
sandwich and that's kind of crazy and too big. The&nbsp; elements are all good. There's a starchiness to&nbsp;&nbsp; it. I can't quite explain. It's the other burger&nbsp; that's inside the meat. Yeah. Like steamed it&nbsp;&nbsp; spun. It's a title wave of burger flavors all kind&nbsp; of mushed up together. If you just dip your spoon&nbsp;&nbsp;
in that and taste it and then tell me what you&nbsp; like more. I mean look, let's just call it a day.&nbsp;&nbsp; It's Sanji's current. It's not a fair competition.&nbsp; This could possibly be part of your fault.&nbsp;&nbsp; Theoretically, yes. I wasn't involved with this&nbsp; particular burger, but I think this is actually&nbsp;&nbsp;
pretty good. I don't disagree. Almost any food of&nbsp; any kind would have a hard time competing against&nbsp;&nbsp; this. I will say ultimately end of the day, the&nbsp; Ultimatum, not bad. A little weird, a little too&nbsp;&nbsp; much. It's really just a cheesy ketchupy burger.&nbsp; It's like a triple reverse Juicy Lucy. Yeah. So,&nbsp;&nbsp;
we're going to triple reverse ourselves to the&nbsp; restroom. And we'll see you in just a moment.&nbsp;&nbsp; And Saji's Curry continues its Cinderella&nbsp; run to face the number one seated Krabby&nbsp;&nbsp; Patty in the semis. On to the next number three.&nbsp; Ratatouille versus number six Garfield's lasagna.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Ratatouille. Possibly one of my most favorite&nbsp; movies of all time. Who would have guessed,&nbsp;&nbsp; right? Funny thing is, three star Michelin&nbsp; chef Thomas Keller, one of the greats, actually&nbsp;&nbsp; consulted on the film and provided the ratatouille&nbsp; recipe that finally broke Anton ego. It starts by&nbsp;&nbsp;
spreading a pepper tomato sauce in the bottom of&nbsp; a skillet. Then starting at the edge of a pan,&nbsp;&nbsp; lay down your very thinly sliced vegetables,&nbsp; zucchini, yellow squash, Japanese eggplant, and&nbsp;&nbsp; a fresh viner ripened tomato. Repeat until the pan&nbsp; is filled. Or just do what the rat says. Sprinkle&nbsp;&nbsp;
a mixture of garlic, oil, thyme leaves, and salt&nbsp; and pepper over the vegetables. Top with parchment&nbsp;&nbsp; paper and bake. Remove and then perfectly align in&nbsp; a cylinder mold onto a plate. This is a very old&nbsp;&nbsp; school way of plating, guys. Drizzle a little&nbsp; pepper tomato vinegrett around the plate. Top&nbsp;&nbsp;
with one strand of a chive. And probably don't&nbsp; tell anybody that a rat made this. It is the&nbsp;&nbsp; cat versus the rat. You're going to say no to this&nbsp; guy. I feel like we needed this. Our bodies needed&nbsp;&nbsp;
this. It's so much healthier than all the other&nbsp; stuff we made. It's balanced. It's acidic. It's&nbsp;&nbsp; sweet. It's earthy. Here's the thing. Ratatouille&nbsp; to me has never been a knock your socks off dish.&nbsp;&nbsp; And often times it's served as a side. And I think&nbsp; them serving it as a main kind of as a statement&nbsp;&nbsp;
about the beauty of simplicity and how it's all&nbsp; about great technique and it's tomatoey. It's&nbsp;&nbsp; slightly sweet. A little bit of tartness too. Even&nbsp; though there's only two textures, the textures are&nbsp;&nbsp; nice. The vegetables are cooked nicely. I think&nbsp; there may be a version of lasagna out there&nbsp;&nbsp;
somewhere that's better than this ratatouille,&nbsp; but it's not this one. Interesting. 1 2 3. Wow. It was hard not to give it to Remy cuz&nbsp; Remy is cute. I'm sorry. Ratatouille is not that&nbsp;&nbsp; crazy. Go make it. It's delicious. It's just not&nbsp; better than a nice meaty cheesy lasagna. I mean,&nbsp;&nbsp;
it's not even a fair competition. I can't believe&nbsp; I'm sticking up for vegetables, which I normally&nbsp;&nbsp; dislike. I've disliked this dish for the first 30&nbsp; years of my life. But I'd say in this, honestly,&nbsp;&nbsp; It's cuz he knows. He knows what the audience&nbsp; wants to hear. But unfortunately, I know and&nbsp;&nbsp;
I don't care. Moving on. So, the lasagna moves&nbsp; on to claim our third semifinal seat. Onto our&nbsp;&nbsp; last quarterfinal matchup to see who takes the&nbsp; final spot in the semis. Number seven, Jake's&nbsp;&nbsp; Perfect Sandwich versus number two, Gotcha Roast&nbsp; Pork from Food Wars. This comes from Food Wars,&nbsp;&nbsp;
a manga turned anime that's maybe the greatest&nbsp; cooking competition show I've ever seen. It's&nbsp;&nbsp; also incredibly inappropriate. So, if you are&nbsp; under the age of 18, maybe you should not be&nbsp;&nbsp; but can it win our competition? We start by&nbsp; steaming chopped white potatoes until soft.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Then we brunois onion and king oyster mushrooms.&nbsp; Saute them in butter. We'll then mix them with the&nbsp;&nbsp; mashed potatoes. This is an interesting direction.&nbsp; We shape the potatoes with plastic wrap like a&nbsp;&nbsp; compound butter. Put it in the fridge to get nice&nbsp; and solid. Then we lay our thick cut bacon nice&nbsp;&nbsp;
and neatly. Bring back our mashed potato. Wrap the&nbsp; bacon all the way around. Then wrap it all up in&nbsp;&nbsp; Now tie it with twine. Tuck rosemary underneath&nbsp; the string. Then into the oven goes the quote&nbsp;&nbsp;
unquote roast. Now the sauce. red wine into a&nbsp; saucepan followed by sweet sake and soy sauce.&nbsp;&nbsp; Reduce that down till syrupy and mount with a lot&nbsp; of butter. Now remove your roast when the bacon&nbsp;&nbsp; is crispy. Pour your sauce over it. Top with a&nbsp; few pieces of water crust and serve. Our final&nbsp;&nbsp;
quarterfinal matchup. We have the classic from&nbsp; Food Wars versus Adventure Time. It's first of&nbsp;&nbsp; all presentation wise stunning. It's really good&nbsp; and really weird at the same time. It's very fatty&nbsp;&nbsp;
yet acidic. The smokiness from the bacon, the&nbsp; creaminess of the mashed potatoes. Texturally,&nbsp;&nbsp; it's kind of interesting, right? You've got this&nbsp; like sticky glaze enroed by this part sticky,&nbsp;&nbsp; part crispy, part chewy, part fatty bacon that&nbsp; kind of mixes all together with that puree of&nbsp;&nbsp;
potato. Flavor-wise is not blowing my dress up.&nbsp; Theoretically, all it is is an elevated version&nbsp;&nbsp; got this glaze. I come and go on every second.&nbsp; Like, I'm like, "Oh, I like this glaze. Oh,&nbsp;&nbsp;
I hate this glaze." So, I agree. I want to like it&nbsp; and I want to hate it, but it's it's one of those&nbsp;&nbsp; things where it's like, I got to taste it again&nbsp; to see what I really feel. Precisely. Now, this is&nbsp;&nbsp; the Adventure Time sandwich in a more reasonable&nbsp; size. Seems promising. Now, this is a tough call.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Both of these dishes are seriously flawed, but&nbsp; they're also both good in a very weird way. This&nbsp;&nbsp; sandwich is much more manageable now than it's&nbsp; ever been, but it also served everything that I&nbsp;&nbsp; don't really like it as much as I thought. Yeah,&nbsp; I feel this exact same way when I ate it. 3 2
1 Wow. Gotcha. Roast pork from Food Wars.&nbsp; I will say it's a bit weird of a dish,&nbsp;&nbsp; but it was better than the Adventure Time sandwich&nbsp; by a pretty strong margin and I think that it's&nbsp;&nbsp;
made it win was a uniqueness of flavor. Made me&nbsp; question a lot of things though. Moving on. And&nbsp;&nbsp; the number two seated gotcha roast pork moves on&nbsp; to face Garfield's lasagna in the semifinals. Now,&nbsp;&nbsp;
our first semifinal matchup. The number one&nbsp; seated Krabby Patty versus the number 12 seed,&nbsp;&nbsp; our underdog, Sanji's Curry. This&nbsp; is a strong battle. This is a hard&nbsp;&nbsp; decision. It's actually our least&nbsp; voted for versus our most voted
for. Honestly, they're both equally&nbsp; flavorful. Seasoned well. Addicting. Yeah,&nbsp;&nbsp; go back to and take another bite of.&nbsp; All right. One, two, three. [Music]&nbsp;&nbsp;
And it's a win for the Krabby Patty. They're both&nbsp; excellent. And my only criteria was I could eat&nbsp;&nbsp; one of these every day for a year. The curry I&nbsp; would be sick of after eating for 60 straight&nbsp;&nbsp; days. I'm already tired of it after eating it&nbsp; three times now. It is absolutely delicious,&nbsp;&nbsp;
but it's powerfully flavorful. I'm going to&nbsp; want this on a specific day at a specific time,&nbsp;&nbsp; and it's going to beat any other option there&nbsp; could ever be. But I could eat this year round&nbsp;&nbsp; all the time. It could be a personal thing where&nbsp; maybe I'm just tired of burgers. That would make&nbsp;&nbsp;
sense. When a man is tired of burgers, he's&nbsp; tired of life. But that said, Spongebob's&nbsp;&nbsp; Gravy Patty wins and moves on to the finals.&nbsp; So, let's see who's going to join them. There&nbsp;&nbsp; we have Food Wars versus Garfield. The sauce is&nbsp; so odd. It's an anomaly. I kind of know my vote,&nbsp;&nbsp;
weirdly. This is that same Spongebob conundrum. I&nbsp; like this a little better. This one somehow lights&nbsp;&nbsp; up something in my brain that is not usually&nbsp; lit up. Lasagna. I've had a million times. 3 2 1
Gotcha. It's the most unique. I mean, the lasagna&nbsp; is kind of just a mid lasagna. But the gacha roast&nbsp;&nbsp; pork, it's tasty and unusual, but it's good. It's&nbsp; like porky and smoky, and the potato has a nice&nbsp;&nbsp;
texture. It's got crispy, chewy, fatty, and the&nbsp; bitterness that's in the sauce from reducing all&nbsp;&nbsp; that wine works because of the richness of it.&nbsp; Bitter is an underrated flavor profile. Yeah.&nbsp;&nbsp; And it shines a lot more than I thought it should,&nbsp; but it's also shining. Food Wars wins this one.&nbsp;&nbsp;
They move on to the finals. Now they do get out&nbsp; and we find our winner. The number one seated&nbsp;&nbsp; Krabby Patty versus the number two seated gotcha&nbsp; roast pork. It's a heavyweight versus heavyweight&nbsp;&nbsp;
showdown for the crown of which cartoon has the&nbsp; best food. Things are changing for this vote.&nbsp;&nbsp; We're not just going to eat it and pick one.&nbsp; We're going to eat, give it a score out of 10,&nbsp;&nbsp; eat the next, and give that a score out of 10. And&nbsp; then whichever one adds up to be the highest score&nbsp;&nbsp;
out of 10 amongst the three of us will be our&nbsp; winner. You guys don't seem that excited. This&nbsp;&nbsp; you're tired counts. Yeah, that's true. You're&nbsp; kind of like at your most critical. Like I don't&nbsp;&nbsp; even want food. But which food would I want more?&nbsp; First, we're going to vote for the gotcha roast
pork. Bing bong. Bing bong. Wow.&nbsp; High rating. We're going to have&nbsp;&nbsp; to see resounding eights on this or more. So,&nbsp; let's vote for the Krabby Patty. Three, two,
one. 25.3 for the Krabby Patty. It takes the&nbsp; title. It takes the win. If it's good enough&nbsp;&nbsp; for King Neptune, it is good enough for&nbsp; us. This feels satisfying to my childhood&nbsp;&nbsp;
and possibly childhoods around the world.&nbsp; Flavor-wise, this one poundforpound kept&nbsp;&nbsp; the Krabby Patty made a statement. There's&nbsp; a reason why the Krabby Patty and similar&nbsp;&nbsp;
burgers have been so successful all over the&nbsp; world for over a hundred years. It's because&nbsp;&nbsp; they're timeless and you don't get sick of them.&nbsp; These other dishes are remarkably delicious,&nbsp;&nbsp; buds get a little tired of that after four or five&nbsp; dishes of it. Whereas my taste buds continue to be&nbsp;&nbsp;
delighted by a cheeseburger far past that point.&nbsp; It always delivers. That being said, we hope that&nbsp;&nbsp; you felt that we delivered. And if you didn't,&nbsp; please don't say anything. Subscribe. Bye. [Music]
