[00:00] I remember the first time I gained consciousness.  It was when Spongebob forgot the Krabby Patty   formula. I know you remember that. Ever since  then, I've wanted to try a Krabby Patty. So,   what if there was a way to do that? That is  why today we are going to make and taste the  

[00:13] top 12 most popular foods from various cartoons  ranging from Spongebob, One Piece, The Simpsons,   and many others of which will fight to win the  title of the best cartoon food ever. These are all  

[00:26] foods voted on by you. The top four vocators are  going to receive a first round buy while the other   eight duke it out in round one. Starting with  our first matchup, number nine, Bacon and Eggs   from How's Moving Castle. The competitor number  eight, the bet it all on black garlic burger from  

[00:41] Bob's Burgers. For the record, Drive My Car was  in second place. You know, I know a lot of people   were asking for it, but you can buy black garlic  or you can make it. It's actually not that hard.   Just don't try stealing it from Fig Jam. Now, most  of the videos online use the Bob's Burger Cookbook  

[00:55] as fact, but we did our detective work. And guess  what? Everyone was wrong. The version Bob makes   in the show is totally different from the book.  On the show, Bob makes an onion parm red wine   vinegar sauce that we presume is pureed because  the bottom bun gets shredded Roma, diced tomatoes,  

[01:09] and a drizzle of the sauce. There's no onions in  sight at all. Now, spread on the black garlic,   the only ingredient actually mentioned on your  cooked burger patty. Add it to your bottom bun   and crown with a mayor brushed top bun. The only  thing that I would hope that we would achieve is  

[01:22] some sort of a reaction that might have us going,  "This is an exquisite mouthfield." Next up,   number nine, bacon eggs from Howal's Moving  Castle. While we didn't have an open fire,   there is a calcifer appearance. The cartoonishly  wide bacon is everything here, and we're committed  

[01:37] to that. So, we're meat gluing two pork blets  together, placing it in sousvid, slicing it,   and roasting it. This was not an easy task, but we  wanted to get it right. And then we finished off   in the frying pan with our eggs. Feed Kel for the  shells, of course. Look, we didn't have Miyazaki's  

[01:50] budget here. Cook the eggs sunny side up right in  the baking grease until the whites are set. Get a   big block of cheese, some fresh bread, and a hot  cup of tea ready. And of course, two spoons and a   fork. Our judges today are Chef Christian, a kid  at heart with a very discerning palette. But our  

[02:04] second judge is someone we could have never  expected. Someone who has brought smiles all   across the earth. Bill Oakley, former showrunner  and head writer of The Simpsons. I'd love to say   it's a small world because now he's making food  content and what he calls an elevated lowbrow  

[02:18] reviewer on Instagram. We're a big fan of him and  we're happy to have him here. I mean, this is eggs   and bacon, but you do have a very big block of  cheese and some bread and some hot tea. This is   kind of fire serving like a bacon steak like that.  Amazing idea. So, instead of getting a ton of tiny  

[02:34] slices that are super crispy and maybe almost dry,  instead you get this thick, beautiful, luscious,   almost steak-like slice of bacon. It's salty.  It's fatty. And of course, you got some fried   eggs. It's a fried egg, so it's not that special,  right? But altogether, this makes a pretty classic  

[02:47] the cheese is really what puts it over the top for  me. Something about that particular cheese on top   of this stuff takes it to another level. The bacon  thick and luscious. The egg runny. The tea kind of  

[02:59] does help wash it all down. Let's bring out the  burger and see where that stacks up. I will say   visually to me this looks like a very average  burger. It looks like a burger from a cartoon,   which is exactly what it is. It looks like if you  were to draw Archie comics 1959, they're having  

[03:12] a burger in Pop's Chocolate Shop. That's what it  would look like. It's actually a very good point.   garlic. So, let's taste. You know, it's leaving a  lot to be desired. I don't know if I would bet it  

[03:25] all on this black garlic burger. It's shockingly  bland. Even the black garlic is barely noticeable.   would say it's like tasty, but it's not like blow  my mind. I'd come back to this restaurant if it  

[03:38] some other element. Also, I noticed there's no  like acid like a pickle. Yeah, it's lacking in   is what we're talking about here. So, let's vote.  One, two, three. Woo! Oh, crazy. I thought you  

[03:56] were a writer. I know you're an artist. It  seems odd at first glance, bacon and eggs   beating a burger, and I get that, but honestly,  the burger wasn't that good. Yeah. Sometimes   there's beauty and simplicity, and I think this  is one of those moments. Moving on. Number nine,  

[04:09] Bacon and Eggs from How's Moving Castle moves  on to the next round to face our number one   seated Krabby Patty from Spongebob. Our next first  round battle is an anime showdown. Number five,   Naruto versus number 12, One Piece. Ramen may be  the real secret to Naruto's success. Specifically,  

[04:25] extra-L large miso tonkotsu ramen with extra  chashu from Ichiaku ramen. Now, here's the funny   thing. I actually order my ramen exactly like  this. and I ordered it like this before I even   knew about Naruto. That said, I've made tonkotu  the hard way and an easy way that I've devised,  

[04:40] to learn how to make it. We never saw exactly how  Naruto's favorite ramen is built, but I've worked   with enough Japanese chefs and this is how I do  it. First, a nice miso, then a rich tonkotu broth,  

[04:52] creamy and delicious. Of course, cooked straight  ramen noodles. There's absolutely no dipping ramen   here. Followed by an extra heaping helping of  chashu. Your soy aiama egg men which is bamboo   shoots. Naruto maki or fish cakes. This look  familiar to you? Did sliced green onion. Nori. I  

[05:09] he's expending. But realistically, I would also  eat this every day even without a lifetime pass to   Ichiraku Ramen. Next up, number 12, Sanji's curry,  aka Marine Captain's Curry from One Piece. You've  

[05:23] been asking me to make this dish for a long time.  It starts with freshly ground garam masala. Then   we go on to seasoning and marinating our beef with  aromatics and yogurt. Next, we finally dice onions   cooked until beautifully browned and caramelized.  Then we blanch tomatoes so that we can peel their  

[05:37] skin off. Now to the lard flour base of a curry  r. We then add curry powder and garam masala.   Mix until lightly brown and fragrant. Then to  a pot of boiling carrots and potatoes, we add   the curry r beeftock, the tomatoes, and of course  those beautiful brown onions. Give it a mix. And  

[05:53] finally, we add our marinated meat and cook. Bring  it to a boil, simmer, reduce. Finish that off with   some nice sweetness from a freshly grated apple.  Serve it up on a beautiful marine plate. And let's   let you guys down on this. Naruto versus One  Piece. Which show is better? That's not what  

[06:10] we're answering today, actually. But we are going  to find out which of these dishes is better. Let's   start with One Piece. Yeah. Oh, wow. It's going  to be hard for any other cartoon dish to compete   against this. This is the type of dish where you  take a bite and you're like, "Maybe I'll just  

[06:24] have a little about 30 or 40 more times until the  plate is empty." It's a classic Japanese curry,   but a little bit elevated. I mean, you've got  this like succulent, fatty beef, incredibly spicer   curry sauce, and it's just so rich, but it's not  too heavy. There's a little bit of sweetness from  

[06:38] that apple. I could eat a gallon of this. We  still got seven more dishes to go. Now, we   have Ichiu ramen. Cheers. How is Naruto not fat?  He's burning mad calories. This is what I imagine   Naruto feels when he's at the bar just housing  it, asking for more. I've always found that the  

[06:54] more amount of noodles that I can get in my mouth,  the better. This is ridiculous. It's anxious. It's   creamy. It's almost like every flavor you want in  one bowl. There's nothing missing. But I I don't   and it really comes down to what you personally  like. The curry makes me crazy. This is great,  

[07:12] but it doesn't make me crazy. M interesting. I  mean, they're both heartwarming, right? One, two,   three. Boom. Samji's curry upsets our number  five seated ramen from Naruto. To be fair,  

[07:24] they're both delicious dishes, but we don't have  time to talk about it, so we're moving on. Now,   we have the battle of the fat man versus the fat  cat. This is Family Guy versus Garfield. First up,   Family Guy's car panini. Look, if you try to  put Peter Griffin on a diet, he'll escape to the  

[07:39] convenience store and probably make this in his  car. So, I begrudgingly did the same. car panini,   panini press, bread, three sausages, peanut  butter cup. Of course, don't forget your crumbled  

[07:51] Doritos, and then a Cadbury egg cracked right on  top. Oh god, I don't ever want to see this image   again. Now, you might be thinking, "Oh, well, what  about cleaning your hands? Why are these so big,   Hannes? Whose are these?" It's used as a bib,  too. Well, good thing it looks like this now. My  

[08:07] god. There is quite literally nothing good about  how this sandwich is made. After we pressed it,   the filling barely stayed in the sandwich. And  well, let's be real, it doesn't look good either.   Next up, lasagna from Garfield. Wow, there's no  definitive recipe out there, but we did lean into  

[08:21] a comic strip where the owner, John, actually  makes the lasagna. And hearing Garfield say in   his first movie, I like it for the cheese and the  meat and the sauce. Are those not all the basic   things that make up a lasagna? So, first, a layer  of bolognese. A layer of freshly cooked lasagna  

[08:36] sheets. More bolognese, raakota, and another  layer of lasagna sheets. Repeat this a few more   times to top with a heavy dose of mozzarella and  bake until a deep rich golden brown. Now we can   enjoy nature's most perfect food according to  Garfield, not me. Garfield kind of popped off  

[08:51] on that lasagna. This is [ __ ] insane. Thank  god we have Garfield's lasagna. But you know,   this could be good hypothetically. Never say  never. Uh let's start with the best dish here.   This looks like a cross-section that I saw  possibly in my nightmares. It's grotesque.  

[09:05] Intentionally. I mean, it can't be that bad,  right? I mean, look at Peter. He's okay.   It's the Cadbury egg that derails the whole thing.  It would be tolerable if it weren't for that. It's  

[09:17] repulsive. I mean, it's intentionally repulsive.  That was the joke in Family Guy to begin with that   this was gross. And it pays off. In real life,  it's just as nauseating. It almost evolves from   like, oh, there's sausage and then there's some  sweetness. Okay, now it tastes like chocolate  

[09:29] and then it transitions to vomit. The sausage and  Dorito part was pretty good, but it's when that   freaking Cadbury egg swarms your mouth you want  to barf. All right, lasagna. I mean, you know,   I don't even think we need to vote. It's standard  lasagna. And I think anything that isn't vomit on  

[09:44] a plate would beat this. And so, what's your vote?  Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. There's really not much   to be said. Peter, look, you did something. It  does smell quite a bit. That said, moving on. And   Garfield's lasagna moves on to the next round. Not  really a surprise here. In our final first round  

[09:59] battle, we have Jake's perfect sandwich from  Adventure Time. Something I've always wanted   to try. And up next, The Simpsons Rib Witch from  Crusty Burger. Jake's perfect sandwich. Let's make   a sandwich that is bigger than any other sandwich  I think I've ever made in my entire life. Now,  

[10:15] we'll start by torching our bread. Spread both  sides with cream cheese. Next, some sprigs of   dill on your top bun. On the bottom bun, pickles  from Frismo. Add some sliced boiled egg along with  

[10:27] any bird you can find from a window. Followed by  sliced cucumbers, Roma tomatoes, yellow onion,   and of course, the finest seasoning, tears for  salt. At least that's what Jake would do. Finally,   our steak. Next up, bacon. And lastly, you didn't  think we'd leave out the soul of a lobster,  

[10:42] did you? And honestly, I thought this was going to  look bad, but it's amazing. Thankfully, Magic Man   didn't show up before our tasting because I want  to put this in my mouth. Now, on to number 10,   The Simpsons Rib Witch from Crusty Burger. You  want this before the meat supply goes extinct.  

[10:56] And speaking of meat, we used a mixture of ground  pork, ground beef, and ground bacon because the   actual meat is unnamed and may have more legs than  a pig. Now, I'll let you decide if we added that.   in a nice barbecue sauce placed on a butter  toasted bun. And this probably looks nothing  

[11:13] like the imposttor at Universal Studios. So,  prepare for pupil dilation. Dude, this is absurd.   I think if Jake the dog was real and he saw this  right now, I feel like he'd be proud of us. I'm   stunned at how much this really looks like it came  from Adventure Time. It's like somebody shined a  

[11:28] magic ray into the TV and brought that drawing to  life. It just has visual elements of that show all   over it. And then we have a very special, albeit  much smaller, from the Simpsons, the Rib Witch,   which I love that this has the seal that said  it's not just good, it's good enough. It does look  

[11:43] hilariously more appetizing just cuz it's simple,  right? You've got like the caramelized meat and a   bun. As someone who worked on the Simpsons for  many years, I always thought that Crusty Burger   was most closely aligned with Burger King. This  looks to me like it's Burger King's version of  

[11:56] McRib. So therefore, I pronounce it faithful to  the show cuz it's small and kind of sad looking.   It's not about size, it's about taste. So, let's  taste. There's a steak on here, too, right?   Honestly, it's pretty good. What are y'all's first  thoughts? It's a lot. I don't even know if I got  

[12:11] huge, you can't get it into your mouth. I kind of  like it. The bar of practicality is in hell, but   it tastes great. You got some fresh cucumber. You  have some pickles. This is a gnarly club sandwich.  

[12:23] It's got poultry, bacon. I do like the two kinds  of cucumbers, a pickle and a fresh. Okay, not bad.   Now, pitting it up against the rib witch. How do  you feel about it? Masterful job of approximating   the level of quality that you'd find at Crusty  Burger. I kind of like that it was simple. In  

[12:37] a weird way, I feel like if George Moes was here,  he would eat this and be like, "This is perfect."   Texturally, it's not dry. It's definitely meaty.  And the barbecue sauce on there is like a pretty,   you know, run-of-the-mill barbecue sauce, but  everything pulled together into one sandwich.  

[12:49] If it's there, I'm eating it. Yeah. Three and a  two and a one. I almost voted for the rib witch,   but what put me over the edge was what would I  go back and eat again and again? And honestly,   the adventure time sandwich is good. It's just too  damn big. You would go back and eat it again and  

[13:03] again and it would still be there. That's how much  sandwich is in there. So, moving on. Number seven,   Jake's perfect sandwich beats The Simpsons Rib  Witch to move on to the quarterfinals. Onto our   first quarterfinal matchup. Bacon and eggs from  How's Moving Castle moves on to face our number  

[13:19] one seated Krabby Patty from Spongebob. This could  possibly be one of the most exciting things we   could be making today. For me personally, I watch  reruns of Spongebob and I have always wanted to   try the Krabby Patty. The funny thing is Spongebob  makes it differently almost every single time.  

[13:33] Nickelodeon shows 23 ways and the wiki has over  70. So get your King Neptune's Poseidon powder   season patty cooking. We flip it with our trusty  spatula. We top it with two pickles with ketchup   smiley faces tucked under a slice of cheese. A  then another pickle cuz I saw an image that had  

[13:49] a pickle here too, so why not? Top with sliced  red onion, tomato, one nice leaf of lettuce,   and on the other side of our bun, mustard, and  more ketchup. And the real secret ingredient,   the one that nobody ever knew was there. Love. I  should also add that you can't forget to read it  

[14:02] a bedtime story, which we did do off camera. And  one thing's for sure, when we eat this, we did not   forget the pickles. Okay, it's there. Let's eat.  We made it to the quarterfinals. We have How's   Moving Castle versus the Krabby Patty. This might  be the most iconic food on the whole list. Now,  

[14:18] I always thought, even though Mr. Crabs runs the  restaurant that this was going to have crab in   it. Here's a theory. Mr. Krab is the only crab in  the whole show. So, is it made out of his family?   Yes. I mean, off the bat, this is a better burger.  This is a really tough call, man. This is a good  

[14:32] burger, but this is an excellent breakfast.  True. This is generally a balanced burger.   Properly seasoned. The cheese is proper. It's got  pickles, lettuce, tomato. Like, this is the most   standard ingredients for a burger. I was extremely  happy with my burger. Yeah, it's super good. But  

[14:45] but I haven't really had a breakfast that's  like this. This is the toughest call so far.   What would I have again? And again, and I think  I know my answer with a three and a two and a   one. Bing bing bing bing. Yes, Spongebob. Thank  god. This was the toughest call of this entire  

[15:04] thing. I could have that burger twice a day for 50  years. Also, nutritionally, the burger is probably   I've had cheese, and I have tea. But just the  setup of all of that, I thought that beat the  

[15:16] And then for dessert, the toilet. Moving on. So,  the Krabby Patty moves into the semifinals. Now,   we have the number 12 seated Sanji's Curry facing  Regular Shows Ultimatum Sandwich. I'm going to be  

[15:30] honest, this is a monstrosity. When I first saw  this, I thought, "Wow, there's no way that's   possible." Supposedly, it's only made once every  hundred years. So, thank God after we make this,   we won't have to see it again. We'll start by  deep frying two burger patties and making them  

[15:43] into cheeseburgers. Believe it or not, those  will then become our buns. Take a separate   cooked cheeseburger and wrap with ground beef.  M dectable. And sear on all sides until cooked   through. Terrific. Now place your cheeseburger  stuffed burger on the bottom cheeseburger bun and  

[15:57] add your Himalayan ketchup, which is Hines spiced  with Himalayan aromatics, which hopefully Pops   would approve of. Now crown it with your other  deep fried burger. And uh I guess that's it. I   would allow Benson to eat this before I got to it  if I'm being honest. I don't think that there's  

[16:11] anybody that really actually wants this. Is there  a burger in that thing? There's a burger inside   this burger. I worked on Regular Show. Really? How  did that work? What was that like? It was fun. It   was JG Quintel had a short and they were like, you  help him come up with all the necessary stuff to  

[16:24] convince the executives that this can be a series.  And we did come up with the first four episodes   and like a sort of little bible for the show and  stuff. It was really fun. That's amazing. Sanji's   Curry versus the Ultimatum. There are parts of my  brain that say this is good and there are other  

[16:39] sandwich and that's kind of crazy and too big. The  elements are all good. There's a starchiness to   it. I can't quite explain. It's the other burger  that's inside the meat. Yeah. Like steamed it   spun. It's a title wave of burger flavors all kind  of mushed up together. If you just dip your spoon  

[16:55] in that and taste it and then tell me what you  like more. I mean look, let's just call it a day.   It's Sanji's current. It's not a fair competition.  This could possibly be part of your fault.   Theoretically, yes. I wasn't involved with this  particular burger, but I think this is actually  

[17:07] pretty good. I don't disagree. Almost any food of  any kind would have a hard time competing against   this. I will say ultimately end of the day, the  Ultimatum, not bad. A little weird, a little too   much. It's really just a cheesy ketchupy burger.  It's like a triple reverse Juicy Lucy. Yeah. So,  

[17:21] we're going to triple reverse ourselves to the  restroom. And we'll see you in just a moment.   And Saji's Curry continues its Cinderella  run to face the number one seated Krabby   Patty in the semis. On to the next number three.  Ratatouille versus number six Garfield's lasagna.  

[17:35] Ratatouille. Possibly one of my most favorite  movies of all time. Who would have guessed,   right? Funny thing is, three star Michelin  chef Thomas Keller, one of the greats, actually   consulted on the film and provided the ratatouille  recipe that finally broke Anton ego. It starts by  

[17:50] spreading a pepper tomato sauce in the bottom of  a skillet. Then starting at the edge of a pan,   lay down your very thinly sliced vegetables,  zucchini, yellow squash, Japanese eggplant, and   a fresh viner ripened tomato. Repeat until the pan  is filled. Or just do what the rat says. Sprinkle  

[18:04] a mixture of garlic, oil, thyme leaves, and salt  and pepper over the vegetables. Top with parchment   paper and bake. Remove and then perfectly align in  a cylinder mold onto a plate. This is a very old   school way of plating, guys. Drizzle a little  pepper tomato vinegrett around the plate. Top  

[18:18] with one strand of a chive. And probably don't  tell anybody that a rat made this. It is the   cat versus the rat. You're going to say no to this  guy. I feel like we needed this. Our bodies needed  

[18:30] this. It's so much healthier than all the other  stuff we made. It's balanced. It's acidic. It's   sweet. It's earthy. Here's the thing. Ratatouille  to me has never been a knock your socks off dish.   And often times it's served as a side. And I think  them serving it as a main kind of as a statement  

[18:43] about the beauty of simplicity and how it's all  about great technique and it's tomatoey. It's   slightly sweet. A little bit of tartness too. Even  though there's only two textures, the textures are   nice. The vegetables are cooked nicely. I think  there may be a version of lasagna out there  

[18:55] somewhere that's better than this ratatouille,  but it's not this one. Interesting. 1 2 3. Wow. It was hard not to give it to Remy cuz  Remy is cute. I'm sorry. Ratatouille is not that   crazy. Go make it. It's delicious. It's just not  better than a nice meaty cheesy lasagna. I mean,  

[19:13] it's not even a fair competition. I can't believe  I'm sticking up for vegetables, which I normally   dislike. I've disliked this dish for the first 30  years of my life. But I'd say in this, honestly,   It's cuz he knows. He knows what the audience  wants to hear. But unfortunately, I know and  

[19:29] I don't care. Moving on. So, the lasagna moves  on to claim our third semifinal seat. Onto our   last quarterfinal matchup to see who takes the  final spot in the semis. Number seven, Jake's   Perfect Sandwich versus number two, Gotcha Roast  Pork from Food Wars. This comes from Food Wars,  

[19:45] a manga turned anime that's maybe the greatest  cooking competition show I've ever seen. It's   also incredibly inappropriate. So, if you are  under the age of 18, maybe you should not be   but can it win our competition? We start by  steaming chopped white potatoes until soft.  

[20:03] Then we brunois onion and king oyster mushrooms.  Saute them in butter. We'll then mix them with the   mashed potatoes. This is an interesting direction.  We shape the potatoes with plastic wrap like a   compound butter. Put it in the fridge to get nice  and solid. Then we lay our thick cut bacon nice  

[20:16] and neatly. Bring back our mashed potato. Wrap the  bacon all the way around. Then wrap it all up in   Now tie it with twine. Tuck rosemary underneath  the string. Then into the oven goes the quote  

[20:28] unquote roast. Now the sauce. red wine into a  saucepan followed by sweet sake and soy sauce.   Reduce that down till syrupy and mount with a lot  of butter. Now remove your roast when the bacon   is crispy. Pour your sauce over it. Top with a  few pieces of water crust and serve. Our final  

[20:42] quarterfinal matchup. We have the classic from  Food Wars versus Adventure Time. It's first of   all presentation wise stunning. It's really good  and really weird at the same time. It's very fatty  

[20:54] yet acidic. The smokiness from the bacon, the  creaminess of the mashed potatoes. Texturally,   it's kind of interesting, right? You've got this  like sticky glaze enroed by this part sticky,   part crispy, part chewy, part fatty bacon that  kind of mixes all together with that puree of  

[21:07] potato. Flavor-wise is not blowing my dress up.  Theoretically, all it is is an elevated version   got this glaze. I come and go on every second.  Like, I'm like, "Oh, I like this glaze. Oh,  

[21:19] I hate this glaze." So, I agree. I want to like it  and I want to hate it, but it's it's one of those   things where it's like, I got to taste it again  to see what I really feel. Precisely. Now, this is   the Adventure Time sandwich in a more reasonable  size. Seems promising. Now, this is a tough call.  

[21:32] Both of these dishes are seriously flawed, but  they're also both good in a very weird way. This   sandwich is much more manageable now than it's  ever been, but it also served everything that I   don't really like it as much as I thought. Yeah,  I feel this exact same way when I ate it. 3 2

[21:45] 1 Wow. Gotcha. Roast pork from Food Wars.  I will say it's a bit weird of a dish,   but it was better than the Adventure Time sandwich  by a pretty strong margin and I think that it's  

[21:58] made it win was a uniqueness of flavor. Made me  question a lot of things though. Moving on. And   the number two seated gotcha roast pork moves on  to face Garfield's lasagna in the semifinals. Now,  

[22:12] our first semifinal matchup. The number one  seated Krabby Patty versus the number 12 seed,   our underdog, Sanji's Curry. This  is a strong battle. This is a hard   decision. It's actually our least  voted for versus our most voted

[22:27] for. Honestly, they're both equally  flavorful. Seasoned well. Addicting. Yeah,   go back to and take another bite of.  All right. One, two, three. [Music]  

[22:44] And it's a win for the Krabby Patty. They're both  excellent. And my only criteria was I could eat   one of these every day for a year. The curry I  would be sick of after eating for 60 straight   days. I'm already tired of it after eating it  three times now. It is absolutely delicious,  

[22:59] but it's powerfully flavorful. I'm going to  want this on a specific day at a specific time,   and it's going to beat any other option there  could ever be. But I could eat this year round   all the time. It could be a personal thing where  maybe I'm just tired of burgers. That would make  

[23:12] sense. When a man is tired of burgers, he's  tired of life. But that said, Spongebob's   Gravy Patty wins and moves on to the finals.  So, let's see who's going to join them. There   we have Food Wars versus Garfield. The sauce is  so odd. It's an anomaly. I kind of know my vote,  

[23:31] weirdly. This is that same Spongebob conundrum. I  like this a little better. This one somehow lights   up something in my brain that is not usually  lit up. Lasagna. I've had a million times. 3 2 1

[23:44] Gotcha. It's the most unique. I mean, the lasagna  is kind of just a mid lasagna. But the gacha roast   pork, it's tasty and unusual, but it's good. It's  like porky and smoky, and the potato has a nice  

[23:56] texture. It's got crispy, chewy, fatty, and the  bitterness that's in the sauce from reducing all   that wine works because of the richness of it.  Bitter is an underrated flavor profile. Yeah.   And it shines a lot more than I thought it should,  but it's also shining. Food Wars wins this one.  

[24:11] They move on to the finals. Now they do get out  and we find our winner. The number one seated   Krabby Patty versus the number two seated gotcha  roast pork. It's a heavyweight versus heavyweight  

[24:24] showdown for the crown of which cartoon has the  best food. Things are changing for this vote.   We're not just going to eat it and pick one.  We're going to eat, give it a score out of 10,   eat the next, and give that a score out of 10. And  then whichever one adds up to be the highest score  

[24:37] out of 10 amongst the three of us will be our  winner. You guys don't seem that excited. This   you're tired counts. Yeah, that's true. You're  kind of like at your most critical. Like I don't   even want food. But which food would I want more?  First, we're going to vote for the gotcha roast

[24:52] pork. Bing bong. Bing bong. Wow.  High rating. We're going to have   to see resounding eights on this or more. So,  let's vote for the Krabby Patty. Three, two,

[25:07] one. 25.3 for the Krabby Patty. It takes the  title. It takes the win. If it's good enough   for King Neptune, it is good enough for  us. This feels satisfying to my childhood  

[25:22] and possibly childhoods around the world.  Flavor-wise, this one poundforpound kept   the Krabby Patty made a statement. There's  a reason why the Krabby Patty and similar  

[25:34] burgers have been so successful all over the  world for over a hundred years. It's because   they're timeless and you don't get sick of them.  These other dishes are remarkably delicious,   buds get a little tired of that after four or five  dishes of it. Whereas my taste buds continue to be  

[25:51] delighted by a cheeseburger far past that point.  It always delivers. That being said, we hope that   you felt that we delivered. And if you didn't,  please don't say anything. Subscribe. Bye. [Music]
