Can We Redeem The Internet’s Worst Food Crime?

[@tripletoruses]

Nicole puts so much love and details in her recipes and then the freak of nature storms into frame and barks all over his food shoves it into his apron pockets, jiggles it around, and presents it on his plate. one of my favorite series

[@tuxieblue_onyxshadow_adahm201]

Your comment had me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thank you!

[@Mephistozenith]

Nicole has yet to truely grasp that you need to be a full blown food criminal to succeed in this contest. she is too pure, too good, she needs to have this vile food darkness in her heart in order to defeat Josh.

[@CedricBassman]

This is unironically true. Her problem is that she looks at the Food Crimes, the Flavors, and always tries to mask or run from them in some way. She plays it safe. Meanwhile Josh dives headfirst into them and tries to elevate them, without trying to hide the original flavors.

[@joellynncrowthers4623]

Or biased judges like the smosh dudes

[@SmokeyTheBandit]

​@joellynncrowthers4623 Josh is not a "Smosh dude" and nobody is biased. He's just better at what he does. Not everything is a conspiracy.

[@sclemson8541]

"nutso" "sick twisted" "a delicious doughnut for perverts" what a good explanation of Josh's cooking

[@LemmonDP]

You could just make a regular peanut butter cup but fill it with sweet red bean paste and it would probably work pretty well.

[@geronimus4288]

do it.

[@daasbuffy]

Or even the flavoured white bean paste (if you can get your hands on them).

[@ceceliakra7234]

I was going to comment the exact same thing. 🍡 (How is there no mochi emoji!?) Alternatively, there is such thing as navy bean pie, it's very cinnamony and creamy. (10/10, love navy bean pie) That same concept could make a great cup filling.

[@ceramiccoconut]

Yeah, this was my thought, as well.

[@13thMaiden]

Yeees the mung beans would work well with this.

[@chosethebluepill]

Red bean filling is such a popular thing in Korean and Japanese desserts, so I was surprised Josh struggled this mmuch.

[@stephaniek4508]

When he said he was making doughnuts, I thought he would make a version of anpan, but he took a weird turn.

[@thewhiteniinja]

it gets a lot harder when it's based on baked / bbq style beans

[@Kelarys]

I think it would have been a huge copout if he just used dessert beans. That wasn't really the point of the challenge

[@elizacarrie7433]

It seems unfair to use red bean tho. That would be like if they were in a baked potato challenge and they used Ube

[@ginacronkhite8698]

Nicole referencing Josh's childhood trauma and suddenly finding herself torn between laughing at the joke and almost making herself cry again was a moment

[@Jzzmus]

@@TheFilmsKaper Leopold Bloom is one of the main characters from the movie "The Producers." He's an a nervous accountant who winds up becoming a Broadway producer by the end of the movie. There are two versions, the one with Gene Wilder that Josh mentioned, and the remake based off the Broadway musical.

The way Jordan described the doughnut as "a delicious doughnut for perverts" at 24:04 spoke to me so much. She absolutely nailed the vibe of this entire channel.

I thought it would be Link because of how much he loves peanut butter and "Ree-seas." But "Yassified Link" is just as good if not better. I love Jordan! Has she been on a Hotdog is a Sandwich yet?

[@shadowfyre.]

One of the first examples of the Reese’s Bean-nut Butter Cup being popularized was a photoshopped image created by James Allen McCune, posted to Twitter in 2019 - it’s still the top result on Google Images when searching “peanut butter cup beans”. William Osman (of scuffed engineering KZbin fame) made a video later that year where he recreated the bean-nut butter cups and then tried them with James Allen McCune. Prior to 2019, there are no examples (that I am aware of) of the bean-nut butter cup existing as it does in the thumbnail of this video, akin to James Allen McCune’s original image.

[@Person2541]

There is a fine line between genius and madness and on that line Josh has built himself a lovely cottage where he lives year round.

[@Brasc]

Josh is like the Jazz Chef. He gets on his stage with his instruments, he improvises, he throws random sounds around, but in the end it somehow comes together and works.

[@NerdLifeChoice]

Josh killed it with this one; that abomination of a donut looks ready to go on sale in a bougie boulangerie where you expect to get weird stuff that tastes good.

[@joshwilliams8863]

8:10 - I feel like I just want to quote Captain Picard to Nicole: "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."

Regardless of the outcome of these episodes, the more time that passes, the more I love nicole. Nicole keep doing your thing!

[@erikdesoir]

It's interesting how Josh wins competitions when it's 1-on-1 but Nicole wins more team-based challenges.

[@melody_shmelody]

Josh knew the whole time it was delicious. He was rubbing Nicole about being self deprecating but I see right through you, Josh.

[@rethwi]

Nicole!!!! I’m so angry that you haven’t received your WELL deserved win!!! You got this sister!!!!

[@mytbread108]

Well of course Josh removes the bowl in the most awkward way possible. He still has issues with turning on appliances, especially the blender. He also can't secure lids on the instant pot and food processor. The biggest issue of all is his unnatural ability to touch and eat food directly from the deep fryer.

[@MrVovansim]

They made beanut butter cups, and didn't have Rhett try it? What are y'all thinking?

[@bonnieb9238]

exactly! I dont think Jordan is a great judge either. They just keep trying to push spork and no one is interested

Nicole’s confidence is empowering, inspiring, and most importantly- valid. She is so good at what she does and I love watching her in her element, whether it’s talking smack or making magic in the kitchen. She is “stunning, gorgeous, beautiful.” ❤

Josh having less than no faith in the doughnut then winning is hilarious. "This is delicious. This is a doughnut for perverts."😂

[@karenamanda1958]

I want those ribs!!! I’d like the donut if it was filled with sweetened adzuki beans instead of pintos. Huge hug for Nicole 🤗

[@mandijones551]

How did nobody think to go with a recipe using red bean paste. Its basically a sweet food staple!

[@zevo9314]

probably because using red bean paste would defeat the purpose of the challenge. the challenge is making chocolate and baked beans work together

[@aprilvanillasunshine8408]

Yeah it would have been perfect to build on! I thought the same thing And then Josh kind of made a sweet bean paste in the end anyway 😅 so we were still right

Keep trying Nicole! I believe in you!

[@adude6896]

Have you guys ever tried making a bean pie? It's a staple desert in many black cultures. Pro tips if you search recipes online-you almost always need to triple the listed seasoning to the mix, and the beans need to be way smoother than you've probably ever made them before to avoid baked bean texture. I'm talking run through a very fine meshed sieve type of smoothness. Would love to see your attempt at the dish!

Josh, Maybe some search could be good next time. You made "Anpan", is a japanese desert, make with sweet beans inside a bun. Also, Mole, has a version where chocolate is the main ingrediant. Also, also... I think nicol has the win. but, next time, no use sweet chocolate, you have too much sugar in your recipe

[@jfellsie]

You definitely could do an Asian fusion take on this with a barbecue pork, peanut sauce, and red bean filling with a bittersweet chocolate exterior.

[@Uberphish]

The trouble here is that Josh just has too much practice from working on Will It? prior to this. Making things that shouldn't be somehow taste better than they have any right to was literally part of his job description! To beat him, first you must make several foods out of entirely unrelated foods... and possibly also a bile cheesecake.

Agreed! I love watching Josh cook. He's def my favorite of all the kitcheneers. But I agree, he's experienced. Should be battles amongst the other kitcheneers with Josh judging!
