I’m so glad Andrew was there to provide the necessary rat content in Shane’s absence with that charlotte’s web pick.

[@polkadot_fox2755]

LITERALLLY

[@shadesoftwilight]

Rat representation 👏

Nah the remy disrespect won’t be tolerated

[@novalyn.acidgin]

That food scene was pretty epic 😂

[@groofay]

@@peewee0224 Agreed, sure it's nice that we had Charlotte's Web, but the Ratatouille slander is just not okay

Deeply obsessed with how rie sweetly demolishes the guys with “is that dog food” and “is that garbage”

[@victoriamahon3765]

Nope nope nope wrong! Cassa Bonita is actually a real restaurant and it’s amazing. I’m not even joking it’s mostly the same as pictured it’s located in Colorado I think that should be a food trip video for you guys. There’s also lots of beautiful scenery and interesting things to do out there that could make a really good video hint hint!!!!

I died 😂 she so innocently and sweetly said it

[@brooklynnewyork2352]

No cz they NEED to have her back I love her

[@casual_nihilism]

Man, I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed Andrew. Please keep putting him in situations he can be pleasantly hostile

[@Winterknox]

Yeah hostile Andrew is my fave lol

[@Scrofar]

so the verdict is Rie's perfect food group: white blobs and two pieces of produce Ryan's perfect food group: animal feed and Mexican cuisine Andrew's perfect food group: sludge, grease, and vermin

[@needyverse]

The way Rie says “Is that garbage?” is simultaneously the fanciest sentence I have ever heard, and the most savage.

rie is so valid for only choosing ghibli foods but I gotta say she did pick the *blandest* of its selection, like damn there are so many more delicious meals to choose from...where my ponyo's ramen or howl's breakfast at 😭

honestly if we're talking Ghibli my favorite animated food I wanna eat got to be the eggs and bacon from Howl's Moving Castle for sure

When Marnie was There has some amazing looking food too

[@emmadobbins694]

Ugh, I *lust* after Ghibli food, Howl's eggs and bacon included

[@groofay]

I figure its absence from the lists is just because it so obviously belongs that it's like a Bingo free space

[@IBWhisk]

This would have been my number 1!

[@ryanaspelund9247]

Ryan tears apart fresh cucumbers and tomatoes and then picks literal dog food

[@SingAllTheThings]

A lot of Rie's list had foods that spoke to comfort in the given environment: the cucumbers and tomatoes were being eaten in the heat of the summer, with friends. The rice porridge was being made and eaten after a long day, in a chilly enough environment that hot food would have warmed the soul. The hot oatmeal was made for a sick little girl by a new friend who cares about her, and the egg and toast was shared by two new friends on a dangerous adventure. And Zeniba's tea party is a kind of respite for Chihiro, where she gets some support and answers, as well as comfort food. But that's my assessment :)

[@malogranatum4914]

I was thinking exactly this! Like I haven’t seen all of those films but of the ones I did see, I immediately clocked the comfort food vibe she was going for.

[@bakenstrips]

the fact that ryan hasn’t seen My Neighbour Totoro or Kiki’s Delivery Service but has seen Grave of the Fireflies is wild

[@evan0448]

Angst draws people in

[@alexi89]

I watched Grave of the Fireflies first and it honestly scared me from watching other Miyazaki films a bit. When watching My Neighbor Totoro I thought at least one girl was going to die eventually or the mom.

[@thespankmyfrank]

@@alexi89 Holy shit, I thought the same thing. I was scared throughout Totoro thinking someone was absolutely gonna die.

[@parapunghaha]

​@@alexi89Just a note, Grave of the Fireflies is Isao Takahata's not Miyazaki's.

[@alexi89]

[@FramesPerSecond]

Rie saying “why are you here?” Was amazing. Ghibli has the best looking animated food. Ryan was defs under qualified lol

[@Moondragon1821]

Honestly, I have to argue that Food Wars is the new best animated food.

[@Scrofar]

"Why are you here?" Rie said calmly

[@jelletinny]

@@Moondragon1821i think we can agree Ryan probably hasn’t seen that either, lol

[@swit1905]

I'm ashamed to admit how offended I immediately felt when Ryan said Casa Bonita is fictional 😅 As a Coloradan I want it to be known that Casa Bonita is indeed real and a cultural icon, infamous for terrible food, amazing dinner shows, and a big scary gorilla.

[@MeredithGuthrie]

Yes! It’s a real place with real(ly) awful food! 😂

[@TranceDark]

The food has been fixed since the South Park creators bought the restaurant

[@matties1681]

YES THANK YOU ITS such bad food but amazing vibes haha

[@ScottCalvinsClause]

Terrible food, broken arcade machines, and disappearing cliff divers. The service flags on the table are possibly one of the greatest restaurant innovations.

[@rachelwalls3232]

The food was so bad there were rumors that they used dog food instead of meat. More dog food for Ryan!

[@JonDiss]

THANK YOU ANDREW FOR REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE WITH HOWL’S EGG!! We miss Andrew’s dry sass!

[@camryncraig5489]

How Ponyo’s ramen wasn’t anywhere in Rie’s list is shocking, it’s always the first thing i think of when i think of ghibli food

[@Bobsyagod]

Yeah it was weird. She's right that the food in Ghibli movies looks amazing, but Andrew was also right, she chose all the most bland very little detail options when there is some stunningly animated food to choose from, even his choice of pigs buffet is a much better animated choice

[@norasyikinali6283]

I think the scene where the boy's mom made honeyed milk is the best food scene in the movie. The honey just looks so magical.

[@smorekid]

even in kikis delivery service theres that herring pie, all the bread in the bakery, the cake with kiki on it??? and she picked oatmeal?

[@oceanicGrimalkin]

I think it might be because her list has food that are very simple but still tasty-looking.

[@hiddenjemstone2582]

@@Bobsyagod it all lines up with what she says she likes though, which is small/simple food made of tasty ingredients. Taste is subjective, and that’s hers! :)

[@thatgirl9532]

Joyce filled in for Shane, Andrew filled in for Shane, I hope for Andrew’s top 5 beat down episode, Adam fills in for Steven 🤣

[@daleblanquita]

I like how Ryan’s picks aren’t necessarily based on the aesthetic appeal and animation quality of the food but the passion that people in the animated universes have for the food.

[@missatralissa]

I thought Rie was gonna have the best list, but aside from the tea party the rest were not ones I would have picked. And Andrew was 100% right the egg in Howl's is the superior Miyazaki egg.

Wallace and Gromit when they go to the moon for cheese. I saw this when I was 8, and I requested cheese and crackers immediately afterwards. They made the cheese look so appetizing! I imagined it would have tasted like the cheese inside the Ritz Bitz Cheese Sandwiches.

[@jelletinny]

Oh my god, yes!!!

[@isabellajarvis2692]

Wow! You’ve just unlocked a core memory there😂 I remember watching that when I was like 7 or something and thinking the moon cheese was the delicious thing ever

[@norasyikinali6283]

Their respective criteria for what they consider as 'good animated food' are so wildly different lol. Rie picks simple food that she knows she can make but she wants to imagine anyway. Ryan picks food that the characters are very clearly enjoy eating. That joy is what makes the food good, not the look of the food itself. Andrew chose the food the characters are glutting on. For him, clearly many food = good food.

[@carlyjo467]

Casa Bonita is 100% real 😂 the South Park creators recently bought it and re-did the entire place to save it when it closed during 2020. They even have a photo op with a life size Cartman.

You feasted while watching cliff divers and finished your evening at the arcades and haunted caves. Flash forward... it just reopened- funded by the creators of South Park. The menu has now been created by a local James Beard award chef. One-hundred percent worth a trip for weird wonderful world

The fact that rhe porridge in Mulan and rhe cheese and strawberry scene from ratatouille wasn't mentioned is a crime. HOWEVER i never thought they would mention the rat feast, that scene is amazing.

[@cheddarthing713]

Rie’s list made me realize how good the food in ghibli movies tend to be. Like, in Ponyo, the ramen with ham and egg was all steamy and showed to be quite filling after eating it. Coupled with Ponyo’s excitement to eat specifically the ham, I think that movie caused my love for the meat itself. Quite funny, at least to me.

[@chileanyways196]

I’m sorry but it is a crime that no one put Ratatouille or Mr. Pings secret ingredient noodle soup on their list (Side note but something I always wanted to try was Edgar creme da la creme from aristocats)

[@bethabaloo]

There are animated movies I used to go back to over and over for the way food was depicted in them, and not necessarily because they were super realistic, but because they seemed craveable or delicious. I loved the crackers and milk from the Aristocats (crème de la crème à la Edgar), and the crazy whipped cream feast that the little girl made for Oliver in Oliver and Company. Anything from the Be Our Guest sequence in Beauty and the Beast would have been amazing, and I loved the way candies and cakes were depicted in Alice in Wonderland. Coraline is another big one for delicious looking food--and it was stop-motion!

I really liked Adam’s Food Files. I hope it comes back. And I would love a Worth-It offshoot for Andrew and Steven, but not something that’s too similar. :)

God I wish, but didn't they recently talk about the reason why Steven isn't really in a lot of episodes now is because he's the CEO of Watcher and just doesn't have the time to be a creator anymore?

I’m pretty sure Adam and Andrew do work for them but we just don’t see them often

This episode was everything I needed and more 😆 I love that Rie brought the Studio Ghibli, and Andrew and Ryan brought it a mixture of loved animated foods from my childhood. Also… I think y’all have to go to Colorado now to go to Casa Bonita for a Tourist Trapped episode. It’s a real place, known for terrible quality food, amazing shows and performances, and a gorilla, and games. It looks shady on the outside, but a whole other world on the inside. If I remember correctly, I’d watch your head Shane. Hope it lives up to your wildest dreams Ryan ✨

Most satisfying segment I’ve seen on this channel in a bit! 🎉

Extra points to Rie for her little doodles next to all her choices 😆

Rie’s list being food she could actually just eat in real life is hilarious 😅

The food that the “other mother” cooked in Coraline always looked so good

This was such a treat! I missed Andrew and Rie!
