I am still waiting to see if we ever will get a mythical cookbook based on what all been cooked so far on this channel.

[@andrewpfeifer2808]

im a GMM lover, that doesnt really buy merch , but that i would buy

[@HH-le1vi]

It's probably in the works right now. Those things take time and its not going to be the first cookbook Josh has done

[@JessLynn308]

Cookbook… I want to go to the Mythical Kitchen Restaurant!! 🙌🙌 Make it happen Josh!

[@sukai121]

YES PLS

[@brandonsquires9709]

It would be pretty easy to compile all the recipes from the videos that have the recipe in the description. But past that they’d have to produce it.

[@ShearGenius88]

“Eating is just a way to distract us from death!” being a throwaway line is *criminal.* wtf, Josh. 😆

Definitely thought it said chaotic food, and I thought nothing truer has been said about this channel.

[@rgoodfellow]

Also, do the rest of the Mythical cook fall into the other tropes? Nichole: Lawful Good Trevor: Lawful Evil? V: Chaotic Evil What do you think fits best? (I don’t think any of the are evil really)

Is it me or does Nicole just radiates with Kindergarten Teacher energy? Especially when sharing the screen with Josh.

[@vanhartman325]

I could be totally misremembering but I think she said she was interested in early childhood education on their podcast

[@lunar5842]

Yes! I think she even teaches cooking classes to children. She said it in a recent video and Josh was like “is that why you treat me like a kid all the time?”

[@207LW]

Well, Josh and Trevor are kinda like big hyper kids. Lol

[@ophliablue]

Nicole for Josh and Trevor is like Stevie to Rhett and Link. Every mad food scientist or psycho genius needs a mommy.

[@alexiskahlert6788]

she is the kindergarten teacher to Kindergarteners Josh and Trevor, and Vi who is a kid from grade 3 who's down in the kindergarten classroom helping out

[@gl15col]

I have to give Rhett and Link a shout out for being so freaking good at picking amazing talent for the show. They have the best instincts about who will just glow on camera!

[@organicgrains]

Honestly, a chef saying Josh is a joke is like Zurich Polytechnic flunking Einstein on the entrance exam. The way this channel brings trash and treasure together is so genius and inspiring.

[@Bradbssargdons]

But theres no parmesan in it

[@robot_devils_advocate]

Or orange.

[@jarofbees7259]

[@evelina4909]

@@Bradbssargdons Yea, maybe its a american thing.. but WHERE is the Parm?!

[@GorkoTheArchaeologist]

@@evelina4909 Chicken Parm doesn't actually have Parmesan cheese on it traditionally, it gets it's name from the fact that you actually use the rind of a Parmesan cheese wheel in the sauce to add a distinct flavor. Some people even speculate that eggplant Parmesan was the original dish, though that is just a theory.

[@SpiceBagHun]

Josh's cooking is the right kind of cooking! I don't need to see another person making the same recipe with slight variations! Joshs approach to cooking is the same as Cobra Kais answer to Karate! It's excessive but in the best way! .. FEAR DOES NOT EXIST IN HIS KITCHEN!

[@kaiya2472]

Yeah but Nicole made the dish originally….he even said it at the end of the episode. I think the whole team is creative not just josh.

Josh seems like such a wonderful person. He’s so comfortable and friendly with everyone on set, it’s so pleasant to watch him do anything

[@CorneliousRR]

You can really tell the food critic is gone by this point because the opening scene was palm heel striking garlic a dozen times unnecessarily until it was pulp. XD "Eeeeeeh, screw it, we got the okay from the guy, now we're back in business, I'MA PUNCH IT SO HARD." Like a restaurant owner trying to trick the health inspector. lol

[@therranolleo468]

I lowkey want a situation where the food critic forgot something in the studio and got back to it only to see the person he just praised for cooking not a moment ago, murdering a garlic with his bare palm heel strikes

[@gokart6796354]

I love how MK has a live studio audience

[@tajaharrington9848]

I like watching mythical kitchen while I’m cooking, even though I’m never cooking anything I’ve seen them cook. It just motivates and inspires me to enjoy what I’m making.

[@Galiant2010]

Ever mix up ingredients listening to one recipe while reading another? lol

[@toastybastard9559]

The freaking John Goblikon shout out, holy crap, this is why I love this channel, Slipknot references every other day, shout outs to under appreciated metal bands, and of course our master of chaos Josh "hammer toss" Scherer Edit: I also deeply enjoy how mad he gets when something comes out perfect

[@tnk4me4]

I remember Rhett being so excited about this on gmm. Kudos to you guys now you've got a legendary recipe with its own legendary sounding food lore.

YESSS JOSH! My friend and I were literally hoping you'd post this so we could try and make it, thank you for the video!

[@ashleybrook6897]

How'd it come out?

[@billbarrett5989]

Josh's love for Nekrogoblikon explains how he does such good goblin impersonations lol

[@zclark1986]

Josh and team, a while back GMM did a chicken-fried-burger. At the time I owned a burger restaurant and the next day I chicken fried a burger and covered it in gravy, to try it myself (we cut it up and shared it with the team). Holy cow so good. I'd love to see that one given a serious redo on the mythical kitchen. Keep up the good work making food fun.

[@nathanielrumble6023]

The fact that Josh was in a nekrogoblicon video makes him way cooler than he already was.

[@kenlangston3451]

Josh just having arguments with random hypothetical internet critics will never cease to be hilarious.

[@ChapManiac]

Josh's shout-out to Nekrogoblikon made my whole week.

I feel like josh cooks how we actually cook, not calm and perfect, you forget things occasionally, you make it how you like it. My favorite food channel

Josh said to go watch one of his hammer throw videos so I did. I know nothing about the field events, I was exclusively a distance runner and didn't have any friends who threw anything so I really can't judge his form at all.

[@mpbx3003]

This is the perfect example of the best kind of kitchen experimentation! Taking the flavours of one dish and delivering them via the method of another really teaches you so much about how the recipes function.

[@katelynb5838]

So excited you posted this!!!! Please feel free to post about anything else in addition from that episode, it all sounded AMAZING!!

[@gregreee]

Lol a couple weird coincidences occurred while watching this: 1. As you were talking about local recommendations in Burbank, I was literally driving through Burbank 2. I just recently remembered that you (Josh) & I totally went to the same high school together & are in the same graduating class & we definitely hung out with some of the same people & pretty sure we even had some classes together. (THHS - 2010). And then you mentioned something about running into people from high school. 🤣 Wish I knew back then that you also had a passion for cooking cause the only person I could relate to when it came to that was Brandon Conway. I ended up working as a banquets cook at the Ritz-Carlton immediately after graduating for like 5 years! No longer doing it as a profession, but I’m happy to see & know that you were able to turn it into a successful career ! Congratulations on all your success brotha 😊

[@michellebaton]

I love Josh's cooking, it's amazing and magical.

[@FlyingJustToFall]

They mashed chicken dishes with Orange and Parmesan - And they left out Orange and Parmesan xD

[@LML1415]

Lol good point!

[@Darkgryphonl0rd78]

To be honest been to a few Italian restaurants and they don't use parm. The topping is more like mozzarella, Romano or Fontina. Think chicken parm is just a name anymore

[@rmkarros]

thats because chicken Parmigiana is not named for the use of Parmigiano-riggiano cheese but because it resembles another dish called Parmigiana that uses eggplant in tomato sauce and cheese. which was named after the city in Italy Parma where originated from, also Parmigiano-riggiano cheese originated from there too which is why there is confusion.

[@Darkgryphonl0rd78]

@@rmkarros thanks. I couldn't remember how Mario Batali explained it but your statement reminds me of how he used to say things on his Food Network shows

[@chrismontpetit3269]

Stoked to watch your episode of RIGHT NOW, Josh!

[@jasonleapley4758]

Just made this tonight. Josh, Nicole, you nailed it. I can’t believe this isn’t a staple at every Asian fusion restaurant around (actually, give it a couple years… I bet it will be there). The little crispy chicken chunks coated in slightly sweet, sticky tomato sauce…coupled with the bubbly crispy mozz and the basil. My extended family post dinner has already asked that I make this again for Christmas instead of Turkey! You nailed it Mythical Kitchen! Cheers!

Finally made this. It was a hit with everyone. When I first started gathering the ingredients for this, I was confused as to why there was no orange in it. Then it dawned on me. Ohhhhhhh....it's the cooking technique of orange chicken. My best friend said she didn't think this sounded good for the same reason....she thought tomato sauce and orange sounded gross together. She ended up LOVING this. Amazing recipe y'all!
