Store Bought Restaurant Food Taste Test

[@SmashPortal]

I had no idea Marie Calendar's was a restaurant. I've only heard of them in the context of frozen foods.

[@TechNextLetsGo]

They only have locations in SoCal and a few in Vegas

[@RabbitsInBlack]

I bet %100 that both pies come from Frozen. You just egg wash it and throw it into the oven. Just from experience.

Those blindfolds are a mythical treasure. Everytime they are in use, things get so very beautifully chaotic.

I’m shocked they’ve held up over the years, I believe a fan made and gifted the blindfolds, assuming the originals haven’t been replaced lol

Link is always cheating when they’re blindfolded.

[@laur_lauryn]

[@SeanDL81]

At the artichoke dip I was surprised Rhett didn't say "How am I supposed to know if this came from our microwave or the restaurants microwave?"

[@SteOhara]

That's not even what he said. He said how dp i know if this came from a Microwave or straight from a restaurant

[@girlinpjs]

Something about watching Rhett and Link blindly grope around a plate *and eachother* for food is very satisfying for me.

[@johnypunky]

Former Starbucks supervisor here, the only difference really IS the water which is filtered around 7 to 10 times, and that is why you cannot taste the minerals in it. There are other small factors like your machine's water dispersion head and descaling maintenance but that's the big difference.

[@It-b-Blair]

🤯

[@tswan137]

My mind is blown. I've lost all cognitive function.

[@ranjanbiswas3233]

That much filteration is totally unnecessary.

[@JS-ji5fl]

I would think that the bean freshness as well, plays a huge part.

[@trevor6358]

I've found most success in getting the at home version of the Bunn brewers. Ain't nobody got time to filter water that much.

[@debbiejoe2658]

Both of them are having a great hair day - their hair is looking mighty luscious.

[@cannedcatfood]

Yesss they both have such beautiful hair💚 🙆

[@pa-r3640]

Links wings are slowly coming back, hes deffo sporting mini wings

[@trevor6358]

For the coffee it's all in the machine. They use Bunn brewers which completely disperse the water into the grounds at a MUCH faster pace. They make home machine versions and it's a game changer tbh. You should also filter your water but I would assume Nicole did that.

[@kaylamadison8347]

You don't need to filter with a drip coffee maker, or any other that uses sublimation to move the water.

[@katiacleroux7376]

@@kaylamadison8347 you don't need too, but it makes a difference over time. That's why a brand new machine performs better

[@basshp6292]

I use a chemex pour over and maaaaaan i make some damn tasty coffee with it… not to toot

[@moribundxix]

Partially true... but they use distilled water for brewing at most places... same reason why drinks don't taste watered down at nice bars when you order a cocktail with ice

[@paulblichmann2791]

[@noone-gf5op]

@lucian seriously😂😂 there were definitely seasons where you could feel the tension, or seasons where one of them was meaner to the other. and although its natural and was funny as well, this season has been so strong and humorous up until now and I feel like its a lot due to where they are with each other

For the wheat bread from CCF, as a former prep and line cook for them, they should technically be the same thing. They get it delivered in a box and just put it in the oven to heat for 10-15 minutes.

Rhett, filtered water helps quite a bit. But to really get that flavor without it tasting like water mixed with coffee beans is to first buy whole bean, grind only what you need and use an espresso machine. Basically become a Barista!! Or if you're lucky like me (lol) you live with a certified Barista and get the best coffee ever anytime!! I made a deal with my daughter: she gets certified and I'd buy the best espresso machine with all the bells and whistles that I could afford and in return, I get coffee anytime i asked😁!!

There are always things on the menu made for people who don't look at the price.

But some brat says "I want an egg roll I want fried rice I want a pony"...ka-ching that'll cost ya.
