(DO THIS 10x)
Large bowl of Tony C’s seasoned flour
Large Bowl of Whisked Eggs

Also, my day's going well, thanks for asking.
Trevor saying "You're a menace, I hate you" while laughing like a mad man is what I needed today
My new notification sound haha
OK???
It’s mind blowing how Josh can taste something brand new, mentally break it down to its DNA, and recreate it perfectly on the first try…. But can’t identify meats to save his life 🤣
Here we are 4 months later with an episode that proves he cannot do that lol
Sadly facts
It is genuinely impressive that Josh got nearly all the meats incorrect.
Sight is a part of what's needed for taste along with a huge part being smell and since they are all battered things are going to taste way different.
Especially since he can lick a lot of chip powders and the like and recreate they flavor. It's like his tung was off today
The deep fryer is the great culinary equalizer
@@EvanMcVeigh tongue*
@@EvanMcVeigh Sight and texture is a lot of your skill to determine things. I've seen countless Top Chef episodes where proffessional chefs get maybe 50 % right on blind taste tests with fairly normal ingredients, especially when you homonogize the food like in nuggets, powders or whatever.
I'm not convinced Lily is a new crew member and not just a hostage
Is there a difference?
Stockholm will set in any moment and she'll be fine.
I don't really see much of a difference.
I'm not convinced she even knows how to cook.
Hostage with newly acquired screen privileges 😂
Josh: spills half of the pre measured spice blend
Also Josh: we try to be scientific here
He said try, not “we are scientific”, and he did not specify how hard the try or what level of the scientific method do they emulate.
@@iantaakalla8180 I think it's a pretty firm try, almost religious form of the science of Chaos. The only law is basically a guideline of the "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" method.
That's my theory, anyway lol
I love how when people join the mythical kitchen, they seem relatively normal. But, their being around Josh slowly drags them into insanity like him.
It is fun to watch.
They keep trying to find chill ppl to mellow him out, but he keeps pulling everyone into his chaos 🤣
here in 2024 & this comment has aged perfectly
Psycho blowtorch lily is still my favourite bit.
Lily: "I don't min this one one."
Also Lily: "9.7"
Feels like Lily will adapt well to the Mythical Chaos.
There should be a Show where Lily and Link rate things like here 😂🤣
“I don’t mind this one” as in, I like it lol
@@eliramirez9323 Sure but I would say I don't mind this about like a 6 not a 9.7.
I think Lily needs Link's scoring scale lmao
Fast forward 2 years and she’s more chaotic then everyone!
I'm amused that she gave the gator 10/10 because she thought it was the chicken, but gave the actual chicken one 5/10 lol
That's how good gator tail is
@@CPFitzgerald HELL YEAH !
The reason why gator meat tastes better is because they're undomesticated and haven't really changed all this time
You get that classic dinosaur flavor that the t-rex lost somewhere along the way to becoming chickens lmao
@@ben-chan420 better approximates for T-Rex meat should be ostrich, emu, or cassowary
@@CPFitzgerald I don't care if I'm scientifically accurate or not, everyone gets the point I'm getting across lmao
Speaking as a native new orleanian, gator either tastes or has the consistency of pork or chicken depending on where it's coming from, tail is porkier in flavor and consistency and legs are chickenier
It makes sense for it to taste like chicken since they're both reptiles.
This Floridian agrees
Strange, I thought you'd call yourselves Nawliners.
Gator ribs are really good
@@danm8004 No, no they’re not.
I wonder how long it’ll take Lily to completely succumb to the chaos of Mythical kitchen
three hours, this style of initiation is very effective
Hopefully not long lol
I think she already has. She was already rating things like Link after all 🥲
I thought they were gonna scare Vi off early but she got corrupted quick 😂
a minute x
Recently did a "will it nugget" thing with my friend. We made nuggets from many things but the shining nugget was tuna salad. We took tuna salad, froze it into pucks and nuggified them and oh my god they were insanely delicious. We've made them a few time since then.
That sounds really good, I'm not surprised! Tuna has a good texture (to me) and is good in fried patty form so tuna salad seems like it would be good too!
I'm both surprised and intrigued. Surprised because I wouldn't have expected it to remain nuggetified...even with it being frozen. And intrigued because I make some bomb-ass tuna salad, and I think I need to fry it.
Kind of like tuna croquettes?
Good tip, thanks!
this channel is one of mythical's best decisions
I watch this more than GMM now
@@dokterclaw1083 Same! Still love GMM but the chaos of the kitchen is just fantastic.
I actually started watching GMM because of this channel, and I still like it even more than GMM.
I love, that EVERY TIME Elk meat is in a mystery-challenge someone guesses alligator. It's literally every time. I cannot believe it hasn't become a meme yet
I now need this to be a GMM episode, I would love to see Rhett and Links takes on each nugget
That would just be Link screaming in fear, and Rhett yelling back while eating. I agree .
Alligator nuggets with cajun ranch are a staple at festivals in my area despite being nowhere near a region where they can survive. They are SOOO damn good.
They really heckin did put how his day is going in the description. I'm glad your day is/was going well Josh or potentially crew member who wrote it.
I too checked for this, and was going to be disappointed if I didn’t see it lol
Trevor squealing while feeding Josh is the content we needed 😂😂
I'm slightly bootybothered that Josh of all people didn't go back through the nuggets and say "which one is this?" And retry them knowing what it is. If he did, y'all should've recorded it!
Yes that was what I was hoping for!! I'm assuming they may have done it after but I wish they showed us! It's way different knowing what it is... like how they were kind of put off by the chicken ones which would be considered normal
Did not know of the term "bootybothered" and now I don't think I'll ever not know it.
@@siebenautomotive yeah it gets stuck in your head with the absurdity of it hahaha
14:59 When you're so dedicated to your job and passion, food
"No I don't like it...wait give it to me, eugh, give it!" Hahah poor Josh
Hear me out. Make this into a GMM episode and see if Rhett and Link can do it with their prior knowledge of both eating with blindfolds and eating weird stuff
I've had a beef nugget before. They were called Taco Bites and they were taco spiced beef coated in finely crushed tortilla chips. They were pretty good.
I've had those too but they were bite size chunks of whole steak that were breaded and fried, not ground meat.
one of my dad's random kinda signature things is steak nuggets: round steak cut into bite-sized pieces then breaded in egg and crushed saltine crackers and pan fried in a cast iron. without fail what my sister always asks for her birthday dinner.
I have, too, but they were Mickey Mouse shaped.
Love Josh's chaos early in the morning
Near me a local sports bar has " Cajun gator bites " it also comes with this special homemade sauce that's also Cajun flavored. It's incredibly good and I recommend it to friends every time we go there
Fellow mainer here and love what Lilly brings!!!
"Also, my day's going well, thanks for asking."
Never been so happy to open the description before.
I love Trevor and Josh's vibe together. I was really expecting a wicked smart at the end 🤣
The new person was not ready for that, they had to tone it down... a bit. Hahah!
Trevor: *laughing* "You're a menace. I hate you."
Best moment of the episode.
I must really love these videos since the notification woke me up at 4am and i decided to wake and watch
6am, one of our cats will not let me sleep, I have given up.
There are very, very few things that make me feel sick but Josh tennis moaning while he squeezes salmon paste between his fingers is one of them.
hahaha oh my god, that was just normal josh to me, but now that you mention it...
1:50 "I have a suspicion that gator could actually be a really great nugget!"
Me: ~someone who has had fried gator nuggets~ ....Josh, you need to come to the South for a culinary adventure...you'd be surprised how many of those we've already made. And yes, gator makes great nuggets.
(Some of your choices, unless you added other animal fats, would be tough and dry as hell though.)
Catfish nuggets are great if they're done right
Haven't gotten any sleep, but early enough to stay up and watch some Eldritch nuggets being made
Trevor shouting "You're a MENACE!" was the cherry-on-top of this episode.
Whoever writes the description... I'm glad your day is going well. 🙂 you are loved and appreciated.
"Did that enrich your life?" No, Josh, it did not. It is you who enriches my life with your loveable insanity and kitchen highjinx. Please never stop being who you are.
I always wondered why chicken fried steak wasn’t just miniaturized into nugget form
Josh is really channeling that "kid that everyone just sort of stares at with a quizzical look before continuing on" energy today. :p
here in southern alabama we have gator nuggets quite frequently!! we love some gator! you can get it at a lot of resturaunts. not sure about everywhere else in the US
Interviewer: "Who is your mortal enemy and what would they say about you?"
Me: "Nothing, they've all been defeated."
Man Trevor went through the WARS in this episode, he and Josh need to just move in to the same space for like a week and record it, guaranteed comedy.
2:07
“It’d take more than one guy to peg an ostrich”
“We’s heards…. It was a sick ostrich”
Allegedly...
Congrats on the job, Lily! Much love from New Hampshire
The fact Josh's day is going well makes me happy 😂 (In the description)
I have only had Gator once, and i still think about it from time to time, cause it was so good! Lilly looks like shes gonna be a great addition!
Trevor’s and Josh’s relationship is pure lol welcome to the crew Lilly
I've had Gator before so I definitely get where they'd confuse it for Chicken, but I wasn't expecting Ostrich to utterly dominate.
Ah yes 3 am, the perfect time to be worrying about the flavor of my animal flesh nuggets
or, the perfect time to worry about the animal of your flavor flesh nuggets!
Should have included duck and venison, too. 12 nuggs total. Each cook makes 3 each b/t Josh, Nicole, Trev and V.
Josh did the Gator dirty by missing it with half the spice blend :P
Not only that, but he ground it up. Gator NEEDS to be eaten as battered and fried nuggets....PERIOD !
Why do I feel like "your a menace, I hate you" is something Josh hears daily in that kitchen
Idea: Which flour makes the best bread?
100 percent serious, if you guys produced a mythical dog food, I’d buy it. I don’t know how well it would do, but you have kids watching and they’d convince their parents to buy it. If you made a quality product you’d be set.
Edit: I think proper seasoning for each one would have changed the results.
looked like that harry potter scene harry feeding dumbledoor that black horcrux juice
I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. This was so chaotic. I loved every second.
Welcome, Lily!
Remember the Hells Kitchen episode where the chef was shamed for not knowing the different meats in a blind test? Yeah Josh you might wanna brush up 😂
I grew up eating catfish nuggets I wish he would've tried to do those too there really good
I know where this is going…
“Which Co-host Makes the Best Soylent Green Smashburger”.
I feel like it would be Emily. She, even when compared to Josh, seems to be the most likely to be a sociopath.
@@zachaliles you misunderstand. Josh is going to make burgers out of the co hosts.
But you’re right, Emily looks well marbled.
But… soylent green is, PEOPLE!!
love Gator Nuggets if you go to the restaurant attached to some Bass Pros and they serve it with a mint sauce
i can't wait for lily to start really getting the vibe of mythical kitchen and 10 episodes from now we're watching her scream into a twinkie pizza or something
This video enriched my life immeasurably!
Lily and Link rates stuff the same way 😂😂😂 Welcome to the kitcheneers crew Lily 😊
Him trying to say mnemonic 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sounded like "mamaanic" 🤣
Good episode 👏 👌
I'm glad to see that y'all are well and healthy 💙💙
You think Josh looks well?
My life was honestly enriched because I'm so anxious to make food and watching Josh throw stuff together that "feels right" that he found in the fridge makes me think maybe I can do this lol
I’m from Maine too! so cool to see a maniac on such an amazing show
When they blindfold taste test.... I would love a, "As you can spork, we can't."
Wrote down that ranch recipe immediately. I'm looking forward to it.
What an initiation haha, welcome to the new crew member! :)
Josh one of the reasons we love you is because of your chaos energy but maybe have one episode were you are organized 🤔🤔
Embrace the chaos friend. Jump into the swirling maelstrom of meats and cheeses.
I can't believe it took me this long to watch Josh and the gang on Mythical Kitchen!
The binge watvh of shows no sign of ending...because I am....WICKED SMART
SMAHT
@@fashionablechangeling2003 yes yes ! Smaaaht!
We've got a great creole place here that does some REAL good Gator Nuggs when they can get it.
I'm glad Josh's day is going good. Hopefully you can rekindle your love of hammer toss!
Gator nuggets are actually pretty common in some places in the south lmao I love them
Gator is great. Haven't gotten to that part yet but I'm hoping you pair it with cocktail sauce. Yuuuummm
Yeah Gators nuggets, hush puppies, and slaw is one of my favourite meal combos
Josh casually activating a Winter Soldier somewhere with his acronyms as he tries to organize his meats
I checked the description below and I'm glad to know his day is going well!! ☺️
The entire time Josh was talking about the ostrich, I just kept hearing squirrelly dan going “allegedly”
Josh not knowing about gator nuggets is very Californian of him
I'm from NY and they are fairly common up here. I'm only like 400 miles closer to New Orleans.
@@liamengram6326 I live in Florida so I'm very familiar lol
@@squiddydarealog Gator nuggies with some cajun ranch is like...
It's July, it's hot. You're at a local music festival where they've blocked off the streets. You've just bought yourself a fresh squeezed lemonade and now you need something good to eat. Grab you some gator nuggies with Cajun ranch and fuel your soul.
No surprise that ostrich won, it's awesome. You should have tried venison though. Difficult to misidentify but some seriously good food.
Josh: “We’re gonna start with the salmon nugget.”
Well of course you are- it’s the only meaty nug on your tray identifiable via a quick glance 🤣
The f*cking "ARE YOU RUSHING OR ARE YOU DRAGGING?!" send me back to drum corps and I'm in a fetal position crying hahahahaha
This needs to also be passed in front of Rhett and link. What a good idea
You told me you’d have a diary entry in the description of how your days going but I have been LIED too!
Josh on Elk
"Bravo six going gator"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gator nuggets are actually awesome 8/10 will eat again
That double rimmed basketball got me. WHATS THE DEAL WITH DOUBLE RIMS MAN Y U GOTTA MAKE IT HARD FOR US
There is a local dive bar here in my state that serves THEE BEST catfish nuggets. I've been on a pescitarian diet for 13 and half years now, so the catfish nuggets hit the spot. Served with a homemade ranch they make, it's glorious!!
I still think that as much as I love mythical kitchen, they don’t show the other kitcheneers as much as they should
It is really cool to see someone I went to school with on Mythical Kitchen!! Lily is an amazing lady!
I had gator bites at an amusement park once, I have no memory of what it tasted like, but I do know it was one of the best things I ever ate
The nugget tasting was such gold😭
Gator is really good as a sausage and as a nugget, but not the ground kind, the hunk of meat kind. It tastes like catfish and chicken combined. So freaking good.
Yes, the tail does, because that's the "white" meat, and is supposed to be battered and fried as NUGGETS. The sausage is made with the other parts that are darker, and fattier. And YES, gator is NOT meant to be ground unless it's made into sausage !
I feel like, it would also been good to have non-ground meat versions?
Because man, we've gotten whole meat style chicken nuggets and it is such a game changer.
Nuggets are NOT ground, so I agree 100%.
Josh made moves on an ostrich.
Allegedly.
I heard it was a sick ostrich...
I think you gotta prep the meats differently to make good nuggets with them
That's true but I also think it was more because they were blind folded as well.... they didn't seem to like the chicken ones which of course are what they based this off of. Plus it wouldn't be the same, but maybe some need more of the same seasoning than others?
Use a small cookie scooper to get consistent sized nuggets.
Such a chaotic and weird episode lmao but welcome Lily to Mythical!!
JOSH, You have to SEAR any type of Game meat you eat, and add just a little salty/spicy sauce during the searing. I like worcestershire sauce or a1 or just some type of peppery hot sauce.
Josh keeps talking about gator nuggets like it's not already a thing all over the south
Josh grunting while squeezing his meat was something I could do without
