I feel the best way to handicap Lily would be to pair her with Link.

[@jk-ke6gz]

We should petition for this.

[@robbykunkel5263]

Link might accidentally kill Lily though

[@Fluff_Noodles]

​@@robbykunkel5263 but Lily might purposely kill Link 😅

[@its-aydonus6842]

Nicole and Josh are the millennials, I feel like having the Gen X dads on with the Gen Z kids would be great. Trevor and Rhett v Lily and Link (Trevorhett v Lilink? also could do Evarhett), that way Lily has the handicap of Link, but Trevor has a slight handicap in Rhett as well, although he isn't kitchaphobic like his co-host.

[@its-aydonus6842]

@@Fluff_Noodles She'll bust out the blowtorch again. Lily won't stop until everyone has been traumatized under the flame.

[@mooseonthehalfshell4898]

Nicole saying "can i use my shoe to weigh this down" is big josh energy

[@sd.2528]

Link energy.

[@harleyluvsmistaj146]

Like a croc weighs anything at all 😂

[@stephanieann6622]

Big Josh energy is the new and improved bigdick energy, and I'm here for it

[@jamesgoodwin1741]

"do you think it'll melt?"

[@mpbx3003]

Josh's "YOU'RE THINKING OF EASY CHEESE, GO BIRRRDDDS!" at 6:44 was the most Josh moment possible.

[@dwmlue9299]

Lily fighting Trevor over a sloppy handful of cheese is some top tier internet.

[@kg4wwn]

I didn't know anything that titillating was even allowed on KZbin.

[@beccytacey7542]

I know GMM's brand is pretty cheerful in a "be your mythical best" way but I can't tell you how badly I want an "i'm not feeling my mythical best" shirt

[@KatieJohnson8]

🫶🫶🫶 same!! Hugs if you’re not there today, friend.

[@elizatheomen]

i think that design would be what convinces me to finally buy youtube merch tbh. we dont have to always feel our mythical best sometimes

[@MusicIsLife8847]

I’d buy two hoodies, three shirts, & a tote bag if they made that design!!

[@mikkii505]

I just made a vegetarian buffalo "chicken" sandwich and Lily saying "just go eat a vegetable" made me die 😭😂

[@TalynWuff]

I love how Lily's so talented that it required the full kitchen to go against her to be 'even'.

[@slimcognito383]

Braggs nutritional yeast on popcorn is really good we use that at my house every time we make popcorn. Every time we get someone to try it for the first time they really like it

[@michellecoleman5577]

What does it taste like? Because it doesn't sound as appetizing as butter or like olive oil or something, so I'm curious.

[@FinalRush25]

@@michellecoleman5577like cheese

[@Volti-Vagra]

well why didnt you say so earlier??? >desperately inhaling jars worth of Braggs Nutritional Yeast

[@alisaishere]

@@michellecoleman5577 I personally think it tastes like popcorn and parmesan cheese. Put it on your buttered popcorn and it will be extra delicious.

[@RyanMPLS]

The best vegan popcorn topping is Flavacol. Nowhere near natural, but vegan and what makes popcorn taste like popcorn and turns it yellow too! It may also kill a person.

[@AmbroseReed]

the thing is that Philly has weirdly a ton of great vegan food, including some good vegan cheesesteaks. so it's not un-Philly at all to attempt this

[@KatieJohnson8]

Agreed. But it was done… strangely. They need to take this show on the road!! Visit Philly and cook with Philly chefs!! I’d love to see that episode.

[@Serenity_Dee]

Mushroom can be an excellent substitute for meat but you'll never mistake it for meat. I would have used a mix of mushrooms, seitan, and tofu skins, because the latter two would have a texture that could fool someone in the context of a Philly cheesesteak.

[@davidoriggan]

I doubt that

[@michaelortiz7737]

Aww man, out of all the people in the world I would've expected Josh to know that the "Eagle" sounds that we all know is actually the sound of a Red Tailed Hawk. Eagles just chirp.

[@KatieJohnson8]

Bruh. So much un-Philly about this episode. He didn’t say Jawn once 😂

[@guppygills]

would be cool to see yall bring a vegan chef in to make a veganized recipe for one of these!

[@mackiereyes7574]

YES

[@AnackaM]

100%. I keep watching their vegan videos and cringing at the substitutes they are using

[@onlyghosts7152]

Yes! So many amazing vegan chefs are on the platform and they could definitely show the Mythical Kitchen what vegan food is like in 2024.

[@trevorboone6445]

Yeah! I'm really happy they are trying to make vegan food but it didn't seem like the people cooking were that familiar with it at all. I was surprised they didn't mention why they decided not to use seitan as that seems like the obvious choice here.

[@amypetty5013]

Haven't they done that at least once already? Or am I misremembering?

[@jessicazaytsoff1494]

I believe the cinematic eagle sound is in fact a red crestes hawk because the eagle sounds not great.

[@RealAndySkibba]

That's true. Eagles typically chirp and not screech IIRC.

[@raychipsd]

Flyers winning the Stanley Cup means Josh cheffing up cheesesteaks scenario canonically takes place in either 1974 or ‘75.

[@kingboarhog]

That is a hot onion on my HAAAAND!!! Y'all make me laugh so hard. Never stop.

[@mirabrodie]

as a philadelphian, josh gets us. this was so lovely.

[@AWildKrom]

as a fellow philadelphian, i'm petitioning to make josh an honorary philadelphian

[@therealflebii]

As a Philadelphian I almost felt compelled to revoke his Phila card with that sauce

[@dbone3356]

Did you type that with one hand, holding a Twisted Tea in the other?

[@AWildKrom]

@therealflebii man, I feel that but I feel like "what if we added cream and booze to it" is a very philly thing to try lmao

[@brettgoldenbloome7036]

I thought a philly special was a PBR pounder and a jim beam shot

[@AlekzanderMason]

Mythical kitchen is just all the crazy side quests they can't put on GMM. And I'm here for it.

[@Grouch3682]

everyone from philly knows the most important part of a cheesesteak is the roll. you don't just use any bread, filling comes second because that changes based on where you're ordering from,but the bread is always the same

[@GutInst1nct]

Fun fact: the sound we think of as an eagle screech is actually the cry of a red tailed hawk! Movies and TV thought the real bald eagle cry wasn't powerful enough and wanted something more when showing them on screen

[@ShawDAMAN]

Fun fact.... Eagles don't "screech" except in Hollywood lol They make more of a twittering sound

[@Tsureiki]

They sound more like a seagull almost

[@ivyannen2357]

Trevor hanging his picture on the fridge was the sweetest thing! He is a precious summer child who must be protected at all costs!

[@dilfpickler]

This is a fun episode!!! It would be super cool if you guys did like a secret vegan competition like the secret chef show you guys did, that would be really fun!! also im fan of this judge, and also Josh's outfit!

[@deatheven13]

I thought it was going to be an imposter type video. The direct challenge was still good though and the only way Josh is going to beat Lily head on.

[@its-aydonus6842]

Commented before they even started cooking about that grey shirt. Just, damn.

[@JasonRogerson-gs8jp]

I want Trevor Vs Josh in a battle to see who the real Mythical Kitchen Pimp is

[@BLACKSHADOW97531]

Whenever the Wicked Smart Duo is here, so am I.

[@alexgeorge501]

Either real meat, mushrooms or jackfruit works ok for me. Just as long as you make it in the "authentic" cheesesteak style then i'm game making it and eating it!

[@SadPuppySoup]

Hello, non vegan here, I would eat that vegan Philly, mushrooms and cheese onions and peppers sounds great to me.

[@chronicallynerdy4074]

Right!? I'm already getting all those on my cheesesteak anyway. Gonna have to go vegetarian, though. A girl needs her provolone!

[@notsosilentprotag]

As a Philly Native, I would like to confirm the existence of the "Philly Special" which is called a City Wide where you can get like a beer and shot of Jim Bean or Jack for like 5 to 7 bucks depending on where you are in the city

[@KatieJohnson8]

Came here for this comment! I knew someone would set the record straight. Philly 4 Lyfe!! ❤❤

[@AnackaM]

Nicole’s attitude towards vegan food and the way she had already decided they were losing before they even started tells me all I need to know about why these vegan foods they keep doing for Rhett and Link aren’t going that well.

[@juliadasilva2293]

LITERALLY THIS!!!!! It’s like dude why bother we don’t ask for you to make food just to mock us? Leave vegan food to us experienced cooks 🤣

[@chevalfille12]

Right? Like, hating on vegan food isn’t really entertaining. And I’m not even vegan.

[@AnackaM]

@@chevalfille12 Exactly. People think it’s fun to hate on vegan food just because it’s something that’s always been mocked. But, come on! aren’t we past that? If not, can we be?!

[@AnackaM]

@@juliadasilva2293 Right! I love this crew wholeheartedly. But this is not it! It feels half-assed. Which is not usually how they do things, and it doesn’t suit them. If they don’t want to make vegan food, don’t. But if they want to make these videos and have a fair fight, bring in someone who does!

[@CNGboyevil]

Never is something already beautiful more destroyed, than when someone makes a fancy Philly cheese steak

[@KatieJohnson8]

Preach.

[@run4funs24]

11:42 you know what workers even better. A meat slicer to get it shaved down the thinnest you can go.

[@KatieJohnson8]

THANK YOU. How do they not have one of those on set yet?

[@jacquelinesandwich23]

I just love lily, keep up the wins GOAT

[@ADChianti]

The Philly Special back in the day was a Pony beer and a well shot. It's delightful, the foundation of my adulthood, and the cause of a significant number of my problems.

[@KatieJohnson8]

Don’t forget about the modern-day City Wides!! Philly is a gem and I’ll protect it till the day I die 😊

[@2siksticks]

When during the judge portion should switch sides and be on the other team dish so they dont know which dish belong to which team so their guess isn't somewhat influenced. But not every challenge to because it'll get predictable

[@sarahwashington1461]

Loving the new judging! Still think it should be a couple more judges compared to only one person.

[@keegs5632]

It would be incredible if you could somehow get the cast of Always Sunny to recreate this episode. Josh and Trevor are very Frank, Mac, and Charlie

[@KatieJohnson8]

Or the mythical crew to act like Sunny while cooking! So much chaos! 😂😂

[@Dollar1809]

Trevor and Josh have a very Shaggy and Scooby-Doo vibe this episode

[@Kayayayaya]

I love the whole Mythical Kitchen crew, but Trevor is my favorite. He's so cute. 🥺

[@Baybleo]

I work at Crossroads which is an entirely vegan restaurant (no I’m not vegan) and you’d be surprised at how amazing they can make vegan foods taste like real cheeses and meats, it’s actually mind blowing

[@spercwolf2985]

"In a perfectly fair battle"??? No way 😆 I recommend in the next battle, Josh can ONLY get his ingredients out of the trash can. Then let's see if it is still a "fair battle" 😂

[@TallTaleGael]

Trevor saying "I'm doing my own research" was hilarious!

[@axelblake8234]

Josh’s self sabotaging makes me want a Mythical Kitchen on the Couch where they bring in a therapist for the mythical Kitchener’s.

[@missglittertron]

I'd really love to see a BBQ beans episode with Rhett & Josh & Trevor. Or any cooking episode with Rhett & Nicole & Lilly.

[@HexIsme]

"Just eat a vegetable" Lily, shmeats were invented as an attempt to convert people who don't like to just eat a vegetable. Vegans were not the ones with a problem with eating vegetables.

[@KatieJohnson8]

I always wondered why vegans/vegetarians wanted to recreate meat. So strange. Thanks for the education. ❤❤❤

[@skribblestyle]

"YOLO SWAG GOAT FR" Never change, Rebecca lmao

[@itzBandomas]

Trevor is my favorite. He should open a restaurant called Wholesome Foods and it's just like your dad making you a grilled cheese when you don't feel good.

[@kagxyaku]

I absolutely adore Josh

[@amparent]

I’d love a vegan mythmuncher when Jordyn from Sporked chooses the answer because they typically don’t eat meat outside of work.

[@benscott9367]

This show is yeah about food but it's also about enjoying the wonderful personalities of all of these cooks. I know this comment isn't clever or funny but it's sincere. How these people can consistently be SO entertaining is super impressive. Because let's be real, we would all watch them make a bowl of cornflakes.

[@KatieJohnson8]

🙌🙌🙌 so agreed!!

[@daydreamer8344]

Trevor is thinking of milk-washing. A technique used to mellow out flavours of spirits, and occasionally used in cocktail making

[@feistysamwise]

The Shoresy chirping bit Josh does 🤣

[@Robert-sw1xx]

The au poivre sauce was so close, the move was sodium citrate and cheese next to it mixed into the sauce to make the unholy amalgamation of French, American, and Science cheese sauce that is a Philly cheesesteak au poivre. Ben Franklin, a famous Philadelphia man lobbied France to come to the aid of the Americans and so you should call it the Ben Franklin Philly.

[@wlbrenne]

yyyaaaahhhhh Jim's South St. just reopened after the fire, LET'S GOOOOO

[@KatieJohnson8]

Yessss! Philly Philly! Gang gang GO BIRDS!!

[@krossronin3394]

Would be fun if you guys did among us style. 4 dishes, try to catch the vegan imposter.

[@PainCausingSamurai]

I want to see the reverse challenge, where one team needs to make a traditionally vegetarian dish (like ratatouille) with animal-based products.

[@KatieJohnson8]

🤯🤯🤯

[@peterharris6409]

Also Lily is more like the Steph Curry of the Kitchen. Trevor is Tatum, Josh is LeBron, Nicole is tough but she kinda like Luca- all offense and no defense. V is like KD. I’ve actually thought about this before lol

[@chaserz4201]

Ha! When you tube cut in the commercial, the screen for lily and Nicoles vegan steak, just said ass. Not assembly🤣thank you commercial for making my day

[@kellinomnom]

Pitch: Josh gets to hang out with a horse and someone gives him correct info about introducing himself to a horse. Please make this happen

[@Hondaheretic1072]

fun fact, eagles don't make that squealing sound you hear in movies in games. the screeching comes from a hawk. Side note, Trevor is #1.

[@chadheydt8221]

Gosh darn it Trevor what have we told you about staying out of the nitrous😂

[@steveoconnivo9666]

Okay so Adelaide is the cutest food judge I've ever seen, can we get her back more often?

[@gregory.reyes.414]

I just ♡ Nicole's energy!😊

[@thebassrogue]

The one I would be eager to try is Lily's, sorry guys but it looks more delicious

[@TheTNK97]

“YOU’RE JUST DOING WHIP ITS NOW” lmao

[@clarawebster02468]

as someone who doesnt really like meat and often enjoys meat alternatives I have to say that lily and nicole have absolutely no chance... vegan cheese versus french cheese... its not even the same game

[@dmatahari]

“I’m the GOAT, for real” should be on Mythical Kitchen Merch 😂

[@jesssandoval9100]

Everyone’s so done with Josh, now that they gained seniority.

[@kodyfine8956]

I felt very called out when he asked Trevor if he played catch with himself with the football. I did that my whole childhood lmao

[@nickolausmickle9652]

Commenting this halfway through the video, Lily if you win this challenge you should really consider opening your own restaurant. Your knowledge of food, pairings and preparation work are unparalleled. GET AFTER IT!

[@SeoulDaddy09]

The Mythical Kitchen squad is looking super fit! 💪

[@KatieJohnson8]

Agreed!!! I wonder if they do team workouts 🥹🥹🥹

[@toughtimes4paco]

Never had a Philly special of twisted tea and cognac but I have had triple T's. Twisted tea and Tito's.

[@KatieJohnson8]

😂😂😂😂 you win this comment section!!

[@paulblichmann2791]

I had a good meal at a vegan place one time. They kindly guided those they sussed out as first-timers to substitute avocado instead of vegan cheese. Without actually mentioning it. Pretty pro.

[@wadefarmer6021]

Knowing that Josh drinks twisted tea and I’m on the back of the half and half cans gives me a sense of Mythicality

[@TrashWeeaboo]

I shouldn't be surprised that Josh can nail a bald eagle sound but here we are

[@revenous167]

Trevor, unlike LeBron, Lily doesn't flop around and make excuses for losing

[@shanesloth4419]

The result is: If you prepare your vegan dishes right, you won't tell the difference.

[@WisconsinAdventures]

FUN FACT: Cheez whizz comes in both jars AND cans

[@KatieJohnson8]

But you don’t spray it on cheesesteaks. You slop it on with a GIANT spoon from a GIANT jar. If you’re in Philly proper.

[@heatherevert274]

No Southern accents needed in a Philly food video.

[@KatieJohnson8]

I thought that too but I think it was playing on Josh yelling about ‘Murica. Or maybe I’m being too nice about this episode. 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@kelzakdub]

"We're going to let it cool and put it in an ISI cannister" "Dude everyone in Philly is gonna cuss us out" Yeah, that's the thing Philly folks will be upset about on the Philly Cheese Shroom 😂

[@Beanjaminfranklin]

I like how Josh leaning on the counter is the same height as Lily standing up straight.

[@KatieJohnson8]

😂😂😂

[@nisanthreddy2149]

Jim's South St reference is top tier - way better than Pat's or Gino's.

[@nickrwidmer]

i feel like Trevor drives a pick up and Josh has something like an Acura

[@jokiejoker2011]

Does Josh's hubris know no bounds

[@bassline5633]

I'm not playing around, when I say hen shrooms, and cheez whips, leave my mouth watering, at the thought of delectable alternative eats!!! 😜

[@allisonbergh4429]

I moved to Australia about a year ago, and I’m positive adding vegemite to impossible meat would make it actually taste like meat. Somebody try that.

[@douglashadry8659]

Amoroso rolls are honestly absurdly good for how cheap they are.

[@FaultAndDakranon]

Trevor sounds like a seagull.

[@TheTNK97]

Trevor turned into Eddie Vedar at 17:01

[@MegaPomf]

Josh and I have three things in common we both got trust issues with horses like cooking and doing a twisted tea with a jamo

[@AviendhaR]

they legally have to put trevors drawing on the mythical fridge please

[@justjeni83]

I was also bit by a horse when I was around the same age. It bit my shoulder because some other kids were annoying it, a Clydesdale. I am still traumatized.

[@Spirosaur]

Its interesting they basically made steakums, in my philadelphian girlfriends opinion that is the meat to buy if youre making cheese steak

[@KatieJohnson8]

Except harder and worse. That was steak mush. Steakums at least have layers to peel apart. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@ReinhardtBII]

I wish Trevor and Josh were still Wicked Smaht

[@yaawnzzz]

idk why Trevor gives off the vibes he used to chill on surf maps in csgo

[@gateauxgato]

Protip: Nutritional yeast gives an awesome umami cheesy flavor to popcorn but it doesn't like to stick, so use a drizzle of oil and/or soy sauce before you sprinkle it on.
