Dollar Tree vs. Target Cooking Challenge

[@PhoenixTheQueer]

14:23 Josh doing the hot to go dance very confusedly and Nicole yelling “ally” was something I didn’t know I needed but am very glad I got

[@anx1ety_prime]

this has inspired me to make a compilation video of all the times josh has had an ally moment xD

[@honeybunmraz]

Crying. Didn't know this would be in the episode and just started. Am looking forward to it 🤣

[@asusjackson9286]

And then Josh immediately says “no I’m not” while laughing 💀

[@AidynNichi]

​@@asusjackson9286He's saying "femininomenon" 🤣

[@brerider7885]

As a Latvian, I always am so happy to hear my country being mentioned. But I laughed so hard as I in fact have been cursed by an old Latvian woman. My grandmother definitely had done that a lot. 😂😂😂

[@nickfaver]

Did your no good, dirty, rotten, pig-stealing great-great-grandfather neglect to carry her up the mountain and sing to her?

[@radicledgrl]

I love when they can't find the utensil they are looking for and just use whatever. It feels more like cooking at home.

[@Serenity_Dee]

Also, it's natural for meat exposed to air to turn brown. It's just the myoglobin oxidizing. Store-bought red meat stays red because it's flooded with carbon dioxide.

[@mychemicalcas]

Sometimes Josh says something like "Korean soup spoons are among the top 6 types of spoons" and you just have to smile and nod

[@XxpoisinkittyxX]

Makes me look up all the info I can find about soup spoons, down the rabbit hole I go......

[@bnashee]

he's right though

[@rebekahscherbring213]

Is Josh okay? "I didn't want to lick my hands." SINCE WHEN 😂

[@raeperonneau4941]

Those boils were life changing. 😂

[@baronfuath5872]

Mythical has been cloning josh so when the boils inevitably got him they'd have replacement joshes. each one is 99.9% the same as the original, but this one is slightly more sanitary.

[@stecky87]

I honestly appreciate that - basic hygiene, people!

[@mr_nice_guy515]

Josh looks like a step dad who calls his step son “slugger”

[@ItBePatYo]

This is a good comment, champ!

[@AdmiralWinfrey]

@@mr_nice_guy515 Good eye, buddy!

[@Brasc]

Go get 'em, tiger!

[@Fujjums]

Just go completely the opposite direction and do Erehwon vs Dollar Tree, but on like... a PB&J? Or something else really straightforward

[@jjkurtz03]

Nothing says 2024 better than saying "groceries at target to make a single lasagna cost $91, but the actual dish cost is about $31". I'm legit getting ready to start over my college days of surviving on ramen.

[@victreebel170]

To be fair, the total/per-dish prices are bonkers because they assume you have literally nothing, not even any seasonings. But yes grocery prices are insane.

[@mintjulius275]

Not to mention theyre in LA

[@Brooksie603]

100% agree with adding cream cheese to the cheese mix for lasagna filling. I've done it for a long time and it adds a more creamy texture and zip to the filling. My son hates store bought and restaurant lasagna because he said the filling doesn't taste like mine (which he prefers) and that is the secret ingredient. I am NOT Italian and that is NOT traditional filling. It's just what I prefer and so does my family since I've done it. So don't @ me about it.

[@Konani_the_unicorn_queen]

household i grew up, we do a bechamel and melt some cheese into it, just that, the meatsauce, and the pasta, add some cream and top with cheese before oven

[@cammel]

Josh is a Chappel Roan girlie confirmed

[@TheCarboxylicacid]

Josh getting executive dysfunction right before assembling the lasagna is so real

[@NovaDetoxTOS]

Like these episodes have legitimately helped my family out on saving money, LIKE BIG TIME. Thank you, Mythical Kitchen, for sharing this series!

[@Serenity_Dee]

Ricotta isn't farmer's cheese! It's made from the whey discarded from other cheeses; the name means "re-cooked" because it's made by letting the whey ferment (making it more acidic) and then heating it back up to just under the temperature of boiling water.

[@matthews2243]

Came here to say this, glad someone already did

[@craftiebrown]

Mythical Kitchen is here for entertainment. Look for anything more and you'll find nothing but disappointment.

[@truaqua]

@@craftiebrown yikes, that's incredibly negative.

[@craftiebrown]

@@truaqua Ask them. They aren't a cooking channel.

[@FB711_]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@craftiebrownidk, I’ve tried a couple recipes and they’ve all blown my mind, so maybe there’s more to MK than just entertainment.

[@zach_corbitt]

I'd love to see a comparison of "higher vs lower end" stores, so having Dollar Tree go up against Whole Foods, Erewhon, Acme, Fresh Market, Gelson's, etc.

[@MarriageStart]

Josh: "I made a pizza car once" Me: "I REMEMBER THAT PIZZA CAR FROM GMM!!! Four years ago...I was in my 30's....i'm NOT anymore...damn i'm old"

[@joakuz]

You’re young! Just different age 😄

[@TracyKMainwaring]

Targets failed here and pulled all their stores out of Ontario within a couple years. Our Dollar Trees don't have fresh food. But I'm still going to watch the entire video!

[@vincedibona4687]

…okay?

[@TracyKMainwaring]

@vincedibona4687 okay what? Just saying I like their videos 🤷‍♀️

[@daliamalvada]

I LOVE Joshe’s movie trivia and his thoughts and expressions on film. Let HIM do IT!

[@tanishadukes1202]

Josh saying "god i love the way sausage bounces" will never leave my brain 😂😂😭😭☠️

The thirst is real.

[@mother_foxxer]

i think that a mixture of the store vs challenge and imposter chef would be fun! An imposter chef gets higher quality ingredience while the "real" chefs get the dollar tree stuff!

[@Anemicpanda]

I miss imposter chef! I wish they'd bring it back

[@kelrune]

23:07 DAMNNNN josh are you gonna take that "NOT IMPRESSIVE" where is the witty retort. I'm proud of you josh

[@Athena_0519]

A 14th century Italian chronicler likened the way they buried plague bodies to lasagna. "And then more bodies were put on top of them, with a little more dirt over those; they put layer on layer just like one puts layers of cheese in a lasagna."

[@stephaniesimpson-white3293]

Meat n cheese n meat n cheese n meat n cheese...

[@dementedAd]

Funnily enough, lasagna then was just like a bunch of noodles and cheese, I don’t even think they were baking it at the time

[@EmilyinEPCOT]

I am once again requesting that you have Rebecca from Dollar Tree Dinners, battle, Josh on cooking food from the dollar tree. Please and thank you

[@bengraham5776]

When Josh "labeled" the dishes I absolutely lost it. His brain has to be just chaos. 💀

[@Perceptious37]

12:30 yes, you technically are not reducing the acidity, but balancing it out on the palate so the sauce isnt as sharp. Its more necessary when making a sauce with more raw (or whole canned) tomato ingredients. just like you could drink lemon juice, or turn the lemon juice into lemonade to make it more drinkable. Not saying your pasta sauce should be as sweet as lemonade, then you just have ketchup.

[@alyssatheexcellent]

This is the third time lasagna has been brought up this week for me. I feel like the universe is telling me something.

[@XyliaWingard]

This series is always so chaotic, I love it! 😅❤

[@patrickmorales299]

That keying out of Josh's shirt was unexpected.

[@User__Not__Found]

"God, I love they way sausage bounces" 😂

[@auntiegubsy]

Josh using seasoning and cheese to mark the different casseroles is iconic AF

[@dillondargie66]

Josh is transitioning well into a Midwest emo frontman in looks.

[@LabCat]

I'm convinced that any time Josh is cooking, Yakety Sax is playing in his head.

[@tweekbros]

josh cutting himself off before finishing his "lasagna is a femininomenon" line was a crime

[@NicESpurling]

Since I’m here earlier than I’ve ever been, I’m going to make my first ever prediction - Dollar Tree surprises us finally and wins!

[@FreeBird614Two]

I have come to love the Mythical Kitchen videos... Love Hot Dog is a Sandwich probably most... the competitive cook offs are a blast! One thing I would like to see is a Heritage piece. For instance an episode, segment or series that focuses on recipes of the old south (Alabama, etc.) like a often overlooked delicacy like Tomato Gravy, Biscuits & Potatoes... keep the episodes coming!!!

[@SheyD78]

Kind of surprised he didn't go with a bechamel for the lasagne if he couldn't get ricotta, rather than making it from scratch. I might be biased though, not a big fan of rico.

[@TheDarkFiddler]

I was surprised, too, even though ricotta lasagna is superior to bechamel lasagna

[@jessicazaytsoff1494]

​@@TheDarkFiddler I understand your opinion. I disagree but that's why multiple restaurants exist. :)

[@raeperonneau4941]

I’m liking this version of fashionisto Josh.

[@isaiahbaker4910]

Josh making a table cheese, despite the Roman style lasagne using bechamel, which is much easier for home cooks and makes just as tasty a lasagna as the Neopolitan variety with ricotta.

[@Ginsufe]

I love how Gwyn got hit with the bathtub ricotta question left field. Definitely needed that context lol.

[@baekbootie]

The editing was hilarious in this one lmao

[@Sesly116]

“gArFiElD LoVeS lAsAgNa” 🤣🤣 sounded both like a high Josh thought but I followed him completely. I haven’t laughed that hard in ages.

[@EmmyforHistory]

10:43 I always assumed that we invented sausage because we didn’t have anywhere to put the meat that we butchered. And that then we realized in desperation that the meat came with free pockets, so we just stuffed in the convenient intestines.

[@xander22777]

11:42 The editors yeah sounds so tired of Josh making the editors do extra work

[@ceanncox89]

I never knew how much I needed Nicole modeling t shirts til now.

[@steviebyers3161]

Josh completely adhd not noticing Nicole wanted to smell the other is comedic gold 😂

[@TracyKMainwaring]

cellulose is in all plants, not just trees LOL. You eat cellulose all the time. It's also in a lot of other prepared products!

[@katnip266]

I think it might be a bit of a hilarious juxtaposition to do Dollar tree versus aerwan grocery store

[@Kandirocks]

loving Josh's fit in this!

[@gigiroelant7299]

Not making ricotta with sour candy? Guess Josh learned from Food Theory.

[@haleywagner3144]

Commenting on Josh saying about shoving animals into themselves, don't tell him about turducken, although I'd kind of like to see him do that. Feels like he would make that whole ordeal so much more chaotic.

[@carrieanthony5883]

I always add sugar to anything That is tomato base whether it is spaghetti or Lasagna. It does actually break up the acid.❤❤❤❤

[@SnowWay247]

Yeah, I'm allergic and adding sugar lets me eat foods with tomatoes/tomato sauce without being as worried

[@davidclevenger6323]

How about Whole Foods vs Walmart

[@mkharv9133]

This is what I decide to watch while in the hospital recovering from surgery

[@anx1ety_prime]

15:00 i thought he said "hefty pinch of Aleve" and as a millennial i felt that

[@raeloren599]

would love to see another "brown slop" ala tuna noodle casserole - but do something with the instant pot!

[@kpturn42]

Grocery Outlet vs Dollar Tree!!!

[@XxpoisinkittyxX]

21:20 Why do I feel sooo called out rn?!😭😂😅

[@vincedibona4687]

Target v/s Wal-Mart in a Salisbury steak-off, please.

[@christianramsey.]

Love these videos! you guys should do one with trader joes vs target or somewhere against trader joes!!

[@justinh1642]

Great video I try to make meals from the $1.25 tree here too. Go through all the trouble have other people judge the final products too.

[@GODlike.Rampage-wn2re]

[@loisidle960]

The dollar tree is one store I will never go back to. One time was enough for me.

[@pittste88]

I’d like to see yall do something with all those meal kits brands. Not sure how you’d implement it but

[@chrisbowe4238]

When it comes to price difference, you should try a 3rd, maybe 4th option, least expensive way (least expensive options BTWN both stores) and most expensive, see if that makes a difference at all. I know I will shop multiple stores to get different things on sale and hardly ever make a dish from the entirety of the same store

[@jeannietaylor9388]

i watched you make ricotta on food theory 💛💛, but some how this way looks more professional.

[@louwhooo]

I choose to learn nothing but watch in fascination 😂

[@scrambledegg006]

i want to hear about fraud in the canned tomato industry!

[@JasonNeely-c6b]

A substitute you can use for ricotta is cottage cheese and I know that you can buy that at dollar tree. At least the three near me carry it.

[@dawnbassani9387]

Yackity sax is the beny hill theme. i made my sons google play it when he did not wake up, till he eventually unplugged it lol

[@fookinavocado]

Josh saying they need someone with a 'very discerning palate' to tell the difference and me saying "PLEASE let it be Lucas!"

[@stephenborders2883]

Tomato Wet, Noodle Dry, Lasagna.

[@lyndsycarson8302]

Nicole’s hair around the pots like that was not food safe lol

[@moegardner1]

I used to put sugar in my tomato sauce. One day I used a teaspoon of butter. Worked just as well to cut the bitterness of the tomatoes.

[@triciaabreu8015]

y’all should do like erewhon or whole foods and trader joe’s. like all the fancy ones too

[@dawnlinnell]

Josh is the grown version of the little Jewish boy Jonah Hill played on SNL. I love him.

[@shashankkasala3833]

Josh when he wants a different spoon for making meat sauce but not when straining the ricotta: *angry noises*

[@BlackSparklePrincess]

I was today years old when I realized little miss muffet was just eating a bowl of cheese

[@spencergallucci5309]

I never add sugar, as an Italian. I will add some crushed fennel tho, per my even more italian aunts recipes and it is pretty good,so long as you dont add too much. Crushing fennel gives a licorice flavour when done in large quantity

[@FLIrishmann]

It would be hilarious to see Erewhon vs Dollar Tree
