I'd actually want to see a food critic not knowing who Josh is, trying his food. Like "some aspiring chef made this, do you think he has potential?" and see a totally blind reaction.

[@markmuth2498]

Agreed! But I don't think you could use Monster as the base ingredient for something like that lmao

[@AG.Floats]

Yea this seemed already very bias

[@Hidori41]

Gordon Ramsay

[@firstnamelastname4216]

​@@markmuth2498 I think you could still use something like Monster. See if they mention any unusual flavors, or even better yet, see if anyone can identify it.

[@NashtyNation]

While I agree, I think it’s harder to do that while also incorporating a Bit which is obviously what they were going for here. I also think that, at this point, Josh is pretty well known in the industry? At least in the LA area?

[@bhoj8966]

Farley is very funny and his deadpan humor complements Josh's chaotic golden retriever personality. I'd love for this to be a series.

[@katelynb5838]

I love how josh is actually following good food hygiene now that he's cooking for someone who is not in the mythical crew lol

[@Mgkatie19xx]

How is he usually? I've been watching GMM for years but I recently just started watching this channel now.

[@Jabogers]

@@Mgkatie19xx Josh is pretty blasé when it comes to keeping the counter clean or properly putting ingredients where they need to go in general. Like he'll pretty consistently toss flour willy-nilly into a stand mixer and only get like half the flour into the bowl, he'll use a whisk or a spatula and just leave it dripping all over the counter. Don't even get me started on him encouraging Keith with the chicken chopping thing during their KFC Pot Pie episode. As someone who likes things neat and orderly, it freaks me out sometimes, but Josh's sheer golden retriever energy and charisma make up for it.

[@dontdiscriminatehateeveryo9263]

Thigh-Fieri is your mid-panic apocalypse bud, who can do all the (literal) heavy lifting and morale Josh the 'anti-Ramsay' however... Once you've stockpiled all the canned stuff, high-preservative foods, found a few wild mushroom & herb patches. Then he's your bushcraft *_post_* apocalypse pal ❤

I was looking for your comment lol... Thought the same thing.

[@redace4821]

Yea that was sick.

[@goldilox369]

It's one of his little skills. They've shown it in a few episodes. But yeah, it's pretty good. 😎👍

[@fahr]

I said "WTF" out loud

[@user-svqmbiv]

They probably see it all the time lol

[@allisonpozzo]

Yep Josh, edible flowers just means that you can eat them without getting sick, not that they taste good :P

[@Kruhee]

It's one reason I question their use on cakes lol 😂😆

[@allisonpozzo]

@@Kruhee I will say, a candied flower can be great on cakes. I've definitely seen just regular edible flowers as garnishes on cocktails and while it looks pretty, it being put on something consumable invites it to be eaten and it is not pleasant when you try it (as Josh has discovered here)

[@emilymulcahy]

Edible flowers can be ok, but you have to get the kind that aren't densely packed, something very delicate and petally, he ate something daisy like and that's very green and dense/heavy and will taste like grass lol

[@MODElAIRPLANE100]

There are some types that do have a good taste, but then you need to look for specific flowers.

[@bcaye]

I find violets, rose petals, nasturtium and sorrel very tasty. The flowers of wild onion, obviously, taste like onion.

[@707Berto]

Josh rule #69: No head at the dinner table.

[@riuphane]

"no head at the table" "Let's watch it..." "Oh, familiar, huh?" I thought I was going to die laughing.... Highlight of the entire episode

[@misterscottintheway]

I think he said "too familiar" as in the chef was getting too familiar with the critic and they should keep it professional. Might be wrong though

I love how Josh prompts Farley to really critic the dish and where it can improve. I find that type of analysis really interesting

[@CitizenKirkwood]

Great premise, kind of like a less gross Food Fears. I would like to see a lot more of these with various critics and other chefs to critique Josh's brain children.

[@darknessofcoy]

I would agree like random example is bugs like the arts that tastes like citrus fruits or here's a crazy one that famous stinky cheese you see on tv in cartoons and so on idk it's name also one of my food fears gorgonzola cheese that one would be hard to make me like it because it's so strong flavor cheese I tryed it on salad and it dont work for me maybe Jose came help me by show me a different way to get a better response to it ?

[@bcaye]

@@darknessofcoy, if you don't like strong cheese, especially blue veined cheese, there is no presentation that will make you.

I’m getting flashbacks to doing inventory with my old head chef and him saying “Radish, you know, the kinda cool vegetable. Cuz it’s rad-ish, get it?”

[@reidlos8084]

Not surprised in the slightest. I always believed Josh was a great cook and knew that when he tried (and wasn't just goofing off like in the Fancy BK episode lol) he'd be able to make a great dish on the spot. He has lots of innovative creations, he just likes to play around a lot but when he's trying he's great

[@kenlangston3451]

To be fair, any time he works with Emily it is going to be 75% goofing off just because they make each other laugh so much. That isn’t a criticism because the Emily episodes are some of the best Mythical Kitchen episodes.

[@reidlos8084]

@@kenlangston3451 yeah but that's my point. you know he wasn't trying to make GOOD food in that episode, it was just meant to be FANCY regardless of how good it was. but this time he was actually trying so of course it was great lol

[@TheReverendScuderi]

I had my doubts on how those dishes would turn out, but then Josh did the mash. ... He did the monster mash

[@shadebug]

No, he nailed the opportunity, he’s just better at references than you

[@captainsquids2792]

Pretty sure that's what he was getting at

[@Kahandran]

Making a good reference involves playing off of it, not just citing the reference. Josh and Farley added their own brand of humor to the joke, they didn't miss a single thing

Wow, Farley is hilarious, like just as funny as Josh. They're a great pair. And he's a fair judge but not overly critical.

[@BestgirlJordanfish]

As a Vietnamese person, wow that halibut meal is honestly not far from how I've prepared catfish and some American styled sushi rolls for my boyfriend before. The use of mango monster is tempting.

[@Greywaren24]

I gotta say, I'd be happy if this became a regular segment. Farley is hilarious and I love how Josh behaves when trying to impress someone.

we need more Farley episodes in here, like a Josh, Nicole, V, and Trevor competition and he decides who wins??

[@magiepham3137]

As a viet american I love how much Josh loves Vietnamese fish sauce and viet ingredients! all I can think about is being in elementary school and being scared to bring viet food for lunch because other kids would think it’s weird. Now that I’m 28 and an adult it makes me super happy to see the ingredients get appreciated and used!

Hearing Trevor laugh at Josh in the back of the set is rapidly becoming one of my favorite parts of these episodes

[@meganobrien2965]

I was taking culinary classes at my local community college years ago, and one of my instructors dream and goal was to become the official Red Bull Chef. He didn't know if such a position existed, but he really wanted to cook as many interesting things as he could with Red Bull (and have them pay him for it). He really felt that the energy drink would lend itself well to both sweet and savory applications. This episode reminded me so much of that.
