00:00Food tours, Universal Studios, Hollywood, we're trying all the best snacks, both
00:04savory and sweet. I'm hungry, you hungry? I am starving. Alright David, let's get
00:10started. We're starting the day in Minions land and if it's despicable me
00:18and Minion food you want, then this is the place to come. Starting off we have
00:22the Minion churros. Well the mini churros, but sure the Minion churros. Yeah, they
00:27missed a trick there. Oh. Were you expecting that? I wasn't. Very crispy. Yeah, I love
00:35that crisp. This is very shareable, very family friendly. We're in a very family
00:39friendly land. You don't want to get one and pass around between the kids and
00:42stuff with this is everyone just grabs a bite, right? Yeah, you know me, I love a
00:44sauce so like if I could have like a caramel dipping sauce to go with this I
00:48think that'd be the only way to like make this better. But it's on its own the
00:51sweet cinnamon flavor, but they're incredibly crispy. I love that. I think
00:54it's really smart making a mini because they're a lot crispier. Yeah, we're here
00:57in the Super Silly Fun Land, which I'm assuming is something in this Minions.
01:00I don't know, I don't know about Minions. Yeah, so we're in Minion Land. Part of
01:04Minion Land is Super Silly Fun Land. That is where in the first movie Despicable Me
01:08Gru took the three girls, so Super Silly Fun Land is really like a play and a
01:12callback to that. Yeah, it's a little intense. It's a little bright and the
01:17voices and clearly for children, but notice that they put all that stuff over here.
01:21So it's like come here, get these snacks, let your kids go wild, just get it all out of your system.
01:26Yeah, if this isn't your vibe, it's nice because then it's not going to be like next to
01:30the more adult-friendly IP. Yeah, my note to the parents is just do this first.
01:33Do this first. Do this first, get your kids, give them these delicious snacks,
01:37run them ragged, get them tired, and then do the rest of the party.
01:40Kind of a note, there's also a bar around the corner, so I don't think that was on
01:43accident either. All right, so going in for some Minion cotton candy. All right,
01:48this is a pretty good-looking serving of cotton candy. Yeah, it is. Again, shareable, fun, like the whole family can get a bite.
01:54Well, it's raining, so let's have some cotton candy. Let's have some cotton candy.
01:57I'm going to go in here for the yellow one. Mmm, I'm so happy with like the yellow cotton candy,
02:05the fact that it is banana, I'm getting like my little banana Minion fix.
02:08Yeah, you want to switch? I'm sure. Sorry, this one gets one.
02:11That's all right, that's all right. Oh, grape, no? Was that grape? I would say this is grape. I'm like a grape.
02:19You're a grape guy? Oh, wow. As a kid, especially, like grape juice. Flavor-wise, I have to say,
02:23I like the grape, but theming-wise, I like the banana. You know, cotton candy actually was first
02:29introduced at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904, then called candy floss. Candy floss? Yeah.
02:36Okay, well, if I eat too much of this, I will definitely need to floss. I think it's so smart
02:40to be right here, super silly fun land, amusement park vibes. Yeah. I definitely think cotton candy,
02:46churro. That was sweet, now I'm on something salty. And here, they got popcorn. Popcorn it is.
02:52Popcorn is, in my opinion, undefeated. Yeah. I don't know if I'm going to like say it's the winner,
02:57but I'd be hard-pressed to find a snack that's better than popcorn. I agree. And also,
03:01we're at a theme park that's celebrating movies. To me, popcorn celebrates theme parks and movies,
03:05so we had to try it. All right, first of all, delicious. Second of all, portable. Third of all,
03:10because we didn't get any like butter or anything on it. Yeah. Now, we're not going to do this
03:14because we have too much to eat today, but if you were a big popcorn fan like us,
03:18one thing you could do is you could get the popcorn bucket. Look at this thing. Yeah. No matter
03:23which bucket you're getting, if you're getting a popcorn bucket, you're getting free refills on
03:27popcorn throughout the day. So if you are a popcorn lover, this might be the way to go. And you've built
03:31in a souvenir to take home with you. I feel like it's more of a minion's lover than a popcorn lover.
03:35I love popcorn, and honestly, I do not want this. Go ahead. Hear that? One more time.
03:39You know what this is going to be? What? This is going to be a thing that sits on the kid's shelf
03:44or sits in the house when they get back, and mom or dad's going to walk past that at four in the
03:48morning when they're getting ready. Yeah. It's going to scare the hell out of them. Totally.
03:51Great snacks. Yeah. Interesting merch. Yeah. They've got more to eat. You want to head out?
03:55Next stop. Let's go. Power Up Cafe. Let's get out of the rain. Oh my gosh.
04:02First things first, the super mushroom calzone. All right. Talk in a minute. Eat first. Go.
04:06Great. Hot. Oh, it is hot.
04:12Don't let the name fool you. It's mushroom shaped. Yes. There's no mushrooms in it. Not in this one.
04:18There is a vegetarian option, the one-up mushroom one. That's a basil pesto, has some vegetables in it.
04:23That's going to be the vegetarian friendly. We got the one filled with sausage, pepperoni, sauce.
04:30Obviously, Mario, Italian plumber, had to go with the calzone. I think it's better they did this than
04:35say like a slice of pizza. Yeah. It's dense. It's flavorful. It's got some heft to this, right?
04:39The mushroom spots, the white spots are actually pieces of provolone. They melted onto it right
04:45after they took it out of the oven. Yeah. There's really gooey cheese on top. I do love how it tastes.
04:49I think that it's deceitfully small. I feel like it's pretty filling. Yeah.
04:52As far as like a hot snack to get in the park, especially on a rainy day like today. Yeah.
04:56This is very good. Yeah. I'm very happy. I mean,
04:58the form, the shape, the look of it is cool, but honestly, this tastes amazing. Yeah.
05:03I love this. It's very good. It's very good.
05:06As a kid, like when I play video games, I would grab like a Hot Pocket. This is like
05:10basically a Mario Hot Pocket. That's like, that's an interesting line to draw. I didn't think about
05:13that to just know. You're so right. Hot Pockets are synonymous with playing video games. Totally.
05:17Do you think that was intentional? It just happens to be... I don't know, but like, I feel like
05:20very little in this park feels unintentional, so I feel like there's a reason behind everything. Yeah.
05:25Next up, we have the Fire Flower Pretzel. Are you expecting it to be spicy? Fire? What do you think? Oh,
05:30I didn't think about that. It is shaped like the flower you get to get the Fire Power. And I think
05:34that's called the Fire Flower. Go for the taste. You think it has something in it? I don't know.
05:37I don't know. Nope. Okay. It's straight pretzel. It's straight pretzel, but there's no salt,
05:43but it came with three dipping sauces. So the first one was a white queso. I think this is going to be my
05:50favorite right off the bat. It came with a white queso, a mustard, and a chipotle cheese sauce. Don't bother,
05:55I'll be cheese. Oh. No one's picking mustard over cheese. Ooh. That's nice though. Like, this is
06:00queso. Like, instead of nacho cheese, like, this is... This is what it's at right here. It's got heat
06:04to it. Mm-hmm. Where's the flavor it comes from? There's another cheese sauce there. There's the
06:07chipotle cheese sauce. Look, they even got like a bite. They even shaped it for the next bite.
06:11Mm-hmm. Pro over here. All right. Chipotle cheese. What do we think?
06:17Wipe my mouth with this. Chipotle cheese is good. White queso is the best one. Yeah. All right. So we're a fan.
06:24Yeah. Very good. Cheese is very good. Uh, are you a Mario player? Yeah. Are you a big Mario guy?
06:28Yeah. I would say first video game system my dad bought was Nintendo. Yep. The original. Yep.
06:33First game I think I played was Mario Brothers. With that Mario Duck Hunt in one game. Duck Hunt. Yeah.
06:38Contra as well. I remember the cheat codes to try to like get, but Mario was my jam. That is the game I played.
06:43It's so funny you mention that Contra cheat code. Like, that cheat code is like burned in my back. What is it?
06:48Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, and then select start up as two players or just start for a player?
06:53You need a shirt that says that. Left, right, left, right. Like, how's that on a shirt?
06:56I'm sure it is. I'm sure. I mean, there's no, I mean, yeah. Like, I have no clue what my wife's phone number is.
07:02But I know that code.
07:05I gotta slow down. Yeah.
07:06As much as I want to finish this, I'm not.
07:08Yeah, this could have been the calzone and maybe the pretzel could have been the meal.
07:12There's more stuff to eat and possibly drink.
07:14Ooh, I love a drink.
07:15Let's get going.
07:16Now, you know, the idea for Universal Studios originated in 1915.
07:20This guy, Carl Lemley, I believe it's pronounced, is one of the founders of Universal's Pictures.
07:24And he opened Universal City that looked a lot different than this,
07:27so people could watch the films being made.
07:30So I think that's why this whole vibe is like, oh, we're on a movie set.
07:33It's originally was like, we got these sets, why don't we just charge people to come in?
07:36I think it was like a quarter or something.
07:37Back then, most of the movies, I believe, were silent.
07:39So they could just like make all the noise they wanted.
07:42It didn't really matter.
07:42Yeah.
07:44How you doing?
07:44Um, can we get two walking tacos and one everything bagel pretzel, please?
07:49So we're going to be getting that walking taco there.
07:51I also figured it's about time for another pretzel.
07:53Another with salt, please, this time?
07:56We got Fritos.
07:57We got chili.
07:57We got cheese.
07:58Let's take a bite.
08:03You've had a Frito pie before, right?
08:04Frito pie, yes.
08:06I've never eaten it out of a bag.
08:09I was under the impression the Fritos chili and cheese is a Frito pie,
08:13but any sort of chips, Fritos included, with nacho fixings would be more of a walking taco.
08:18Oh.
08:19Now, I don't know because you've had Frito pie outside of a bag.
08:22Yeah.
08:23And you know what it is like this.
08:24It's Fritos.
08:24It's chili.
08:25It's like a chili cheese dip with the Fritos mixed in or on top, right?
08:27Yeah.
08:28Frito pie, I just think the base layer is Fritos and then you're getting all your chili toppings
08:32and you can go to town.
08:33So for me, if I was walking around the park, if I didn't mind my fingers getting a little messy,
08:37like this is very portable.
08:40Well, I was introduced to this as something you would just get at a convenience store and make
08:43yourself.
08:43Any convenience store that like a 7-Eleven or whatever already has the chili or nacho fixings.
08:47My understanding is this is probably designed around that habit that kind of developed from years
08:52of people doing it.
08:52They're using Fritos scoops.
08:54I've only made Frito pie with like Fritos.
08:56So this little like scoop idea, suddenly this is like Frito chili, like nacho.
09:02I need a better bite with some meat on it, but I'm definitely going to replace Fritos with
09:05the Fritos scoops.
09:06I mean, this looks like a pizza box.
09:08So what do you have next?
09:09Oh, pretzel.
09:10Ooh.
09:13Okay.
09:14Points for size.
09:14This is the biggest pretzel we're getting on all day.
09:16I mean, this is the giant Bavarian pretzel.
09:18We did not opt for the one with salt.
09:20We went with everything bagel seasoning, which is cool.
09:22And pretzel, have you done it before?
09:24I don't think I have.
09:25Unlike hard little pretzels, never a soft pretzel like this.
09:28So I'm very happy to try this.
09:30Let's dig in.
09:30All right.
09:31Oh, yeah.
09:31Yeah.
09:32Oh, it's soft.
09:33This would be tough to eat on your own.
09:34This would be tough on your own, but the size of it makes it very easy for people to share.
09:40Ooh.
09:42Nacho cheese dip.
09:42Here's my cheese.
09:43We'll try it.
09:44Nacho cheese dip.
09:45Ortega.
09:46Shout out to Ortega.
09:47Yeah.
09:47I mean, when I think of Bavaria, I also think of Mexico, don't you?
09:50That's right.
09:51Very close.
09:51Very close to them.
09:52Yeah.
09:53Couldn't have but noticed there was no mustard option.
09:56I wonder why that is.
09:58I know why.
09:58Mustard's so...
09:59I actually, as much as I like cheese, this has enough flavor without any cheese, you know?
10:03Yeah, I would agree with that.
10:05I wonder if you could get the salt pretzel, then walk 15 steps over to that Power Up Cafe
10:09and get that queso cheese they had.
10:11Oh my god.
10:11But I guess that's a pretzel in there as well, so why would you?
10:14I would probably like the queso with this, but...
10:16So we'll say everything bagel, seasoning, pretzel, fantastic's on its own.
10:20You go with the salt, grab the cheese.
10:22Yeah.
10:22100%.
10:23On to the next spot.
10:24On to the next.
10:25Let's go.
10:25Dude, are you kidding me with this?
10:28How nuts is this?
10:29Springfield, you would say.
10:30Wow, dude, this is great.
10:32I love this.
10:33Oh, this is awesome.
10:34Yeah.
10:34Well, look at the crusty thing all the way down there.
10:36That's really great.
10:37This is really awesome.
10:38Yeah.
10:38This is cool.
10:39You want to grab a donut?
10:40Sure.
10:40Let's do it.
10:42Two Lard Land donuts.
10:43Obviously donuts are quintessential cuisine and snacks from The Simpsons.
10:48So look at the size of these things.
10:50Very big, right?
10:50Yeah, what's the big donut shop in LA?
10:52There's Randy's.
10:53Well, there's a lot of donut shops.
10:54Yeah, yeah.
10:55It's a very popular one.
10:56But that one is like the iconic big donut.
10:58Yeah, the logo is a mix of the Randy's donut, the big donut, and then there's also,
11:02not a donut shop, but the restaurant Bob's Big Boy where the Lard Land kind of looks
11:07like Bob of Bob's Big Boy.
11:09Let's take a bite of these big donuts first.
11:11All right.
11:11And then we shall discuss.
11:12As I'm cutting, obviously Homer's a big donut fan.
11:14You've got the pink one, the iconic one that we see him eating all the time.
11:18To bring that iconic donut to Springfield, it's kind of a no-brainer, right?
11:21Yeah.
11:24Mmm.
11:24Mmm.
11:25Fantastic.
11:26Yeah.
11:27I mean, why have a bunch of small donuts when we have one giant one?
11:30I thought this would be too much like cake and not a donut, but yeah, it's very good.
11:35Have you had this one?
11:35You want to try the pink stuff?
11:37Yeah, let me try it.
11:38Maple's nice.
11:39That's very good.
11:40Mm-hmm.
11:40This definitely is something you've got to share with some people.
11:42Yeah.
11:42Like, that is a sugary bite.
11:44I mean, in the environment we're in, cartoons, this for me is the winner.
11:48This makes the big kid in me very happy.
11:50I would choose the pink one every time.
11:53Also, we took a swing down by Moe's Bar.
11:55Mm-hmm.
11:56Got a couple of Duff's in these fancy little glasses right there, so it's got about here.
11:59Yeah.
12:00I don't know which beer it actually is, probably some American domestic beer, I would assume.
12:04Cheers.
12:04I don't think they made a beer specifically for this, but maybe they did.
12:07Maybe they did.
12:08They have Duff and Duff Light.
12:09I think we got Duff, so.
12:10All right.
12:10Let's go ahead.
12:10Let's test.
12:14Okay, are you a beer guy?
12:15Yeah, sure.
12:16Yeah.
12:16I mean, yeah.
12:17Does this remind you of a beer?
12:19It tastes a lot like Miller Lite, but they also have a light beer, so that's Miller Lite.
12:23I don't think that'd be Miller.
12:25Oh, so maybe Miller, and then maybe Duff Light is Miller Lite.
12:28Anything in a themed cup, I feel like it's more about the experience and the drink itself.
12:32I think the cup was only two bucks.
12:33Yeah.
12:34We could have gotten this in like a plastic thing, and he said just two dollars extra for
12:37the cup.
12:38That's a bargain.
12:39I want to find this is not glass.
12:40Yeah, it's not glass.
12:41It's the finest plastic that Springfield has to offer.
12:43Yeah.
12:44It's a little weird to pair with a donut, but like if I was here not getting a donut, a burger,
12:50like a crusty burger, and a glass of this, I feel like that would be a very nice pair.
12:54But they didn't have it in these glasses, which is fine, but if you watch the show,
12:58they always have the beer stein, so I don't know why they didn't have a plastic one of those.
13:01I was a little expecting a stein of beer, like Barney is like chugging it and then belching.
13:06I get it.
13:07You know, they wanted souvenir glasses.
13:09These are easier probably to have, but one detail that I think they overlooked that is very bizarre
13:13is this, the Flaming Moes.
13:15Now, we got pictures from earlier.
13:17I think it looked like it was a drink that was all like bubbly or whatever.
13:21I kind of want to notice, but this is orange.
13:22The Flaming Moe in the show was most definitely purple,
13:26and this seems like this is like a non-alcoholic orange soda.
13:30Let's give it a taste.
13:31Let's see.
13:33That's definitely orange soda.
13:35And like maybe Sprite?
13:36I sort of get it, because like I feel like orange soda is so popular,
13:40and like grape soda not everyone loves, but flavor-wise,
13:44I'm enjoying the orange soda way more than I would grape soda.
13:46Here's the thing, in the Flaming Moes episode, the secret ingredient was children's cough syrup.
13:52No, for real?
13:53Yes.
13:53Wait.
13:54That's the big punchline of it, yes.
13:55The point is, that's why it was purple.
13:57Oh, purple.
13:58Oh, see that makes me actually wish this was purple.
14:00They could have just made this, I mean, get that coating in there.
14:03Yo, yo, yo, dirty Sprite.
14:05I mean, I'm not mad about dry ice in a beverage.
14:08Like, I think it's, I mean, we've sort of-
14:10The presentation was nice.
14:11Yeah.
14:12Again, it makes me happy.
14:13We're here for the experience.
14:14Everything looks cool, and I love that.
14:16If I'm coming to a theme park, I want everything to be fun and immersive,
14:20and I think they nailed it with both of these drinks and both of these donuts.
14:24So what I want to do is stay here and keep drinking and watching The Simpsons,
14:27but what we have to do is run across the street,
14:29because the Bumblebee Man has his own taco truck, and we're going to get something to eat there right now.
14:34Great.
14:34Got the Bumblebee Man's nachos.
14:37I got carnitas on there.
14:38I hope you like it.
14:38Yeah, love it.
14:39Let's dig in first, and then we'll talk nachos.
14:40All right, here we go.
14:44Oh, yeah.
14:47If you like nachos, this one's going to hit the spot.
14:48Mm-hmm.
14:49Generous portion, for sure.
14:50Mm-hmm.
14:50Way of flavor, jalapenos.
14:52Oh, there's some guac over here that I missed.
14:53These are good nachos.
14:54Nothing soggy.
14:55Yeah.
14:56Like, everything is, even if I dig a little and try to find a soggy one, I really can't.
14:58Even on this wet, watery day.
15:00Yeah.
15:00Still very good nachos, very crisp chips.
15:03Mm.
15:04Good choice on the meat.
15:05Carnitas, I think, was the right choice.
15:06Yeah.
15:07So, in case you're wondering, because I know you don't watch much of The Simpsons,
15:09The Bumblebee Man is an iconic character in The Simpsons universe.
15:13He basically is the Spanish language channel's main star.
15:17So many jokes in the early days of them flipping on the Spanish station on accident.
15:21Sure enough, guy in this crazy costume, something wild is happening to him.
15:24It was just like an endless non-sequitur television joke.
15:27And he just became more and more of a character.
15:30He's based on a real television character.
15:32I don't know what it translates to, but a guy who played a character called, I think,
15:35The Golden Grasshopper.
15:37So, the antennas are kind of inspired by this Spanish language character who,
15:42I'm sure, if you're flipping through TV in the 80s and came across the show, sure enough,
15:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:47Guy, crazy costume, something weird happening.
15:49I know who you mean that.
15:50His nickname was Little Shakespeare.
15:52Okay.
15:53And then Pedro Chesperito, which is that character.
15:56Chesperito's a play on that, because Shakespeare is sort of like broken English for Chesper,
16:01and then Ito Small.
16:02So, I think everything is very tongue-in-cheek.
16:03Oh, this guy over here.
16:04I mean, I was a theater major, so Shakespeare, thank you very much.
16:08I will say, this is a winning combination.
16:10Yeah.
16:10The duck beer and the nacho.
16:12All right, well, this is delicious.
16:13Where are we off to next?
16:14We are off to the lower area of the park,
16:15so we have a little time to digest as we make our way down to explore.
16:19We're in the mummy land now.
16:20Mummy land.
16:20We're in the lower lot.
16:21We're going to get some corn dogs.
16:23You're ready for some corn dogs?
16:24Yeah, I'm starving.
16:25Yeah, me too.
16:26Mummy eats corn dogs.
16:28We got regular in Korean.
16:29Let's bite first, talk second.
16:31Okay.
16:34That's a very good corn dog.
16:37Yeah.
16:38Especially the Frank seems a bit bigger than it normally is for a corn dog.
16:42Yeah.
16:42This is a good corn dog.
16:43I agree.
16:43Sometimes you have to fight the coating to get to the meat,
16:46and this is the perfect amount of coating without being just too much.
16:51This mummy ride, based on the franchise,
16:53I think it started in 1999 with Brendan Fraser.
16:55Yeah, but there was a mummy before that.
16:57Do you know who played the original mummy?
16:58Yeah, the mummy's been around since the 30s.
17:00The original mummy, Boris Karloff.
17:02Boris Karloff, yeah.
17:02Black and white, wrapped up in the toilet paper.
17:05Yeah.
17:06Very scary back in the day.
17:07People were easily scared back then.
17:09You're a Disney guy.
17:10How does this compare to the other parks corn dogs?
17:12At Disney, the corn part of it is more substantial, which this, I actually like that
17:18like it's just enough, and I'm not like fighting the bread coating to get to the meat.
17:23It's more dog than usually the other way around.
17:26That's a good observation.
17:27Yeah, like this, I'm a ketchup guy.
17:29I have it ready.
17:30I'm not even using it because I just feel like this is a good balance.
17:33It's a savory dog.
17:34They have the Korean one.
17:35I don't know exactly how this, how they did this.
17:37Did you get on how it got made?
17:39Well, I don't want to ruin the surprise.
17:40Oh, it's a surprise in a corn dog?
17:42But when you bite into this.
17:43I don't, no, no, no, no, no.
17:44No, no, no, no.
17:44No, no, no, no, no.
17:46The last time I want to be surprised when I'm biting into a corn dog.
17:48So inside here is going to be some cheese, some meat, and then on the outside we have panko.
17:53Yeah.
17:56Is there cheese in there?
17:57I taste the cheese.
17:58It's sort of like a hot dog instead of a mozzarella stick.
18:00I'm going to just fold mine in half and I'm going to see if we can get some cheese.
18:04Let's see.
18:05There's the cheese.
18:07But does this say Korean to you?
18:09It's Korean style.
18:10In what regard?
18:11The cheese, the meat, the panko on the outside.
18:15Sometimes they do it in Korea.
18:16They'll do like some sugar on the outside sometimes too.
18:18Okay.
18:18But here there's no sugar.
18:19We have the panko.
18:20We have the cheese.
18:21We have the meat.
18:22And to me, this panko, this elevates it to me.
18:25I love the crust of this.
18:27Here's my problem.
18:28When I first bit into it, I'm like, oh, Korean flavors.
18:29No, no, no, no, no, no.
18:30Now you just explained it.
18:31Like now that I know that, yeah, it's very good because it's cheesy.
18:33I like the taste of the crust a little bit better.
18:35Yeah.
18:35It's also much bigger.
18:36It's big.
18:37Yeah.
18:37Yeah.
18:38Surely you have room for one last thing.
18:40I do.
18:41I do.
18:41Well, it's in CityWalk.
18:42So we're going to leave and we're going to go to the only place today
18:45that we're going to grab a bite in CityWalk.
18:46Let's do it.
18:47We are in Toothsome Chocolate Emporium and Savory Feast Kitchen.
18:52Uh, I love the vibe here.
18:53I think it's very cool.
18:55I love this.
18:55I don't know, like, I don't want to say gothic, but steampunk-esque sort of.
18:58Yeah, exactly.
18:58Steampunk.
18:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:59This is a restaurant, so we're not going to order the restaurant food.
19:02We're going to focus today on two things we would get here as a snack.
19:05So we're going to get the warm chocolate almond bread with the salted caramel butter.
19:09So again, the bread's going to tip savory and then end the day with the milkshake.
19:12So what kind of milkshake do you want to order?
19:14Um, I'll try the confetti one.
19:17Great, and I'm going to go with the mint.
19:18I was not expecting this.
19:20This is a little lot going on here.
19:21Let's take a sip and then talk.
19:22All right.
19:26Oh yeah.
19:29Hell yeah, it's very good.
19:30No, it is just some time.
19:31Ooh, thank you.
19:33I'm going to take a bite of this before we go out of here.
19:39Oh, this is fantastic.
19:41I will say this.
19:42I'm very happy we're ending here because like this feels like a great way to like end
19:47Yeah.
19:48a snack episode.
19:49This is a dessert to me, but man, I have to say I love a Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie,
19:54and this is like the Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie in a glass, maybe even like a grasshopper.
20:00Yeah, it's a really thick milkshake.
20:02It's almost like really close to like ice cream.
20:03Yeah.
20:04I got so many sprinkles in there too.
20:06Ah, here comes that ice cream headache I get so easily.
20:08Oh, brain freeze.
20:10Presentation A plus is very good.
20:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:13What do we got here?
20:14Uh, so this is the warm chocolate almond bread with the salted caramel butter.
20:19So again, this is like bread is savory, but then the chocolate and the caramel is going to tip it
20:23a little sweet.
20:24So I'm going to try and rip off a spot.
20:25Rip it off.
20:26The other end.
20:26Yeah, you ready?
20:27Here we go.
20:28There we go.
20:30Oh, it tastes like a kind of chocolate to me.
20:34Like without being a croissant, it has all that like same flavors.
20:38Yeah.
20:39Very good.
20:39And with this salted caramel butter.
20:41Take my money.
20:43Mmm.
20:45Absolutely fantastic.
20:46Oh, yeah.
20:47Oh, wow.
20:48Oh my gosh.
20:49I don't think I've had salted caramel butter.
20:52Holy smokes.
20:53Both look good separately together.
20:54It's like a flavor multiplier.
20:56Yeah.
20:57That is a must to have on that.
20:58It's really delicious.
20:59Ooh.
21:00Right?
21:00One more, one more.
21:01Yeah, get in there.
21:03This is just fantastic.
21:04Okay.
21:04Like A plus.
21:04I love this dessert so much.
21:05I'm not familiar with necessarily chocolate bread, but wow.
21:08Wow.
21:09I think it's so good.
21:10A plus, baby.
21:11Yeah.
21:11Oh, wow.
21:13Wild here.
21:14Oh my gosh.
21:15You are a monster.
21:16Yeah.
21:18Why did we eat so much?
21:19I don't know.
21:20Whose idea was it to do sweet and savory in the same episode?
21:23Huh.
21:24All right.
21:24We both enjoyed most of everything we had today.
21:26If you had to pick one though today that you thought was your favorite snack or the one you'd
21:31recommend the most to people visiting, which one would it be?
21:33For me?
21:34Yeah.
21:34Hands down that super mushroom calzone, that hot pocket.
21:39It looked cool.
21:39I love the look of it.
21:41The taste of it was great.
21:42Yeah.
21:42It's something that like I wouldn't have necessarily thought about as like a theme park snack.
21:46Yeah.
21:46But to me, I think that's my favorite thing that we had all day.
21:49You know, it's tied for me with that one.
21:51And I'll pick the other one.
21:52I thought I was really impressed with the Korean style corn dog, right?
21:55Now it's better than a regular corn dog because like the cheesiness,
21:58I like the flavor of the outer shell a little better than the standard corn meal corn dog.
22:03So yeah, that was a really, that was a really good snack.
22:05I agree that I did like that panko on the outside.
22:08Yeah.
22:08Overall, these snacks were great and we have more Universal Studios Hollywood food to eat.
22:14So get your rest because we're coming back tomorrow.
22:16All right.
