00:00Food Tours, Universal Studios Hollywood.
00:02We're doing the best food throughout the park,
00:04starting here on this somewhat gloomy morning
00:07at the Jurassic Cafe.
00:09David, what are we doing today?
00:10Yeah, we're gonna hit four restaurants today.
00:12Like you said, we're starting here in Jurassic Cafe.
00:15We're gonna go back to Minions Land, go back to Springfield,
00:19and then we're gonna end the day in Super Nintendo World.
00:22We have a lot to eat, so I think we should just dig in.
00:25All right.
00:30And cha-chunk.
00:32Nice.
00:33There we are.
00:34Oh my gosh, nothing says breakfast like ribs and chicken fingers.
00:38Hey, if they're serving it this early,
00:39that means someone's gonna be eating it this early.
00:40Yeah, yeah.
00:41Well, to me, these are some of the things that people love.
00:43Here we have the pterodactyl claws,
00:45which are gonna be chicken fingers and fries.
00:47We have the ribs.
00:49What we didn't get was the raptor leg,
00:51and it would come with fries.
00:52So if you wanna make a meal of that turkey leg
00:54instead of a snack,
00:55this is another place to go full-on carnivore.
00:58Let's start with these ribs.
00:59Yeah, let's do it.
01:00They come pre-cut, which is, I guess, more convenient.
01:03Yeah, love that.
01:04Pump the sauce on it.
01:05Not mad about that.
01:06Let's take a bite first.
01:08Mmm.
01:09Yeah, dude.
01:10Seasoned very well.
01:12When we were down there,
01:13that guy's just ladling the sauce on it,
01:14and I'm like, oh, no, what's this gonna be?
01:16Yeah.
01:17It tastes pretty good.
01:18It's pretty sweet.
01:19Yeah.
01:20It tastes sweet.
01:21I feel like a good portion of ribs, too,
01:22for what you're getting.
01:23Yeah.
01:24I've noticed by looking at the menus
01:25of the places you're gonna be going to today,
01:26kind of like gives you the vibe of what the theme is.
01:30Springfield feels a little more like fast food.
01:32Yeah.
01:33Minions looks a little more kid-related.
01:34Mm-hmm.
01:35And here this seems a little bit more like literally
01:36meat and potatoes, which, yeah, more my style.
01:39Isn't a dinosaur technically a bird?
01:41Closer to birds, right?
01:42Yeah.
01:43A dinosaur is a bird, so honestly...
01:44So this is probably the closest we would get to
01:46actually eating dinosaurs.
01:47We didn't get anything to dip this in, though.
01:48Oh, I grabbed ketchup.
01:49Yeah.
01:50I'm a sauce guy.
01:51I'm not gonna have a chicken finger without ketchup.
01:54That would be sacrilegious.
01:57It's got a good punch to it.
01:59Yeah.
02:00I think it's very smart to have, like,
02:02such a good kid-friendly option.
02:04Yeah.
02:05The ride.
02:06Mm-hmm.
02:07The Jurassic Park place, right next to this cafe.
02:08Mm-hmm.
02:09Opened in 1996.
02:10At the time, the most expensive ride ever.
02:13Yeah.
02:14Do you know how much it was?
02:15I believe it was $100 million.
02:17Correct.
02:18That's a lot.
02:19It's a fun ride.
02:20It's a fun ride, but when you think about it,
02:21that ride was double the budget of the first movie.
02:23That's crazy.
02:24And this, the vibe of this upstairs restaurant area,
02:28it's been a while since I've seen the movies.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Right?
02:31The original location was really, like,
02:33idyllic, tropical area.
02:34Isla Nublar.
02:35Yeah, the whole park was supposed to be,
02:37you know, like, for rich people.
02:39Yeah.
02:40Like, really, like, fancy.
02:41Yeah.
02:42And it has that vibe to it, I guess.
02:43I mean, if you're gonna come here,
02:44upstairs is the way to go.
02:45You saw we were ordering food.
02:46People were dining in there.
02:47It was loud.
02:48Out here, it is quiet.
02:49You get some plants around you.
02:51You get to really take in the setting.
02:52So, to me, sitting outside and really, like,
02:54enjoying the vibe of the world is great.
02:57You know what?
02:58Because I was in the dinosaurs when I was a kid.
02:59Yeah.
03:00But I didn't learn anything about them,
03:01just, like, how they looked.
03:02Really?
03:03So, my favorite is gonna be,
03:04I don't know why, but I like the Triceratops,
03:06specifically, because of the head.
03:07Yeah.
03:08They just, like, eat plants and do anything.
03:09They look scary, right?
03:11With the big heads.
03:12Mm-hmm.
03:13And then, also, what are the guys that have, like,
03:14the spines that look almost like potato chips
03:15around their back?
03:16Oh, you mean the Stegosaurus?
03:17Yeah, is that right?
03:18Yeah, I like that guy.
03:19Yeah, Stegosaurus.
03:20Those two, just by optics, or just visually,
03:21I'm like, those are two coolest looking ones.
03:23I...
03:24And then, of course, everyone wants T-Rex,
03:25because T-Rex is just, like, the big guys.
03:27I mean, look, T-Rex serves up some, like,
03:28really cool scenes.
03:29How about you?
03:30What's your favorite?
03:31Actually, the Carnotaurus.
03:33What's the Carnotaurus?
03:37The horns, it's terrifying.
03:38Is that the one they, like, made up?
03:40No, it's not made up.
03:41It's a real...
03:42Yeah, I used to, like, nanny this kid
03:43who was obsessed with all dinosaurs,
03:44and he literally would know all of their names.
03:46Like, I love them.
03:47Bro, I've got to say this Carnotaurus
03:48looks a lot like a T-Rex.
03:49Yeah, but it has those, like, horns,
03:51like, those little, like, things.
03:52Yeah.
03:53Oh, cool.
03:54That is, like, the cool...
03:55It's, like, the devil T-Rex.
03:56Get closer to that.
03:57Yeah.
03:58You're right, that is really cool.
03:59I think that...
04:00If I saw a T-Rex, I'd be scared.
04:01If I saw a Carnotaurus, I'd be dead.
04:02All right.
04:03We've got so much more to eat today.
04:05Yes.
04:06Ready to hit the next restaurant?
04:07Let's do it.
04:08You know what's better than a theme park?
04:10What's that?
04:11A theme park in a theme park.
04:14All right.
04:15We've got so much food.
04:18And...
04:19Ba-bam.
04:20I, first of all, have to say that I'm surprised
04:23with what we were able to get at the Minions Cafe.
04:26I thought it was just gonna be, like, candies and sweets.
04:28Yeah.
04:29But this is actually some pretty good-looking sandwiches
04:30and these ridiculous nachos.
04:32Yeah.
04:33So we're gonna start here with the Dave's Brisket.
04:35All right.
04:36Light on it, my guy.
04:37All right.
04:38Dave's Brisket.
04:39All right.
04:40Appreciate the effort.
04:41I like the cheese.
04:42Mm-hmm.
04:43Brisket, probably some of the drier brisket I've had in my life.
04:46I don't think there's, like, a sauce on there, so...
04:48I hear that.
04:49I will say the bread is nicely toasted.
04:51I like that.
04:52Bardo.
04:53Mmm.
04:54Cheese on brisket is not as common as you would think.
04:57Cheese in general in barbecue.
04:58Yeah.
04:59To have a brisket sandwich with cheese, it's not completely rare.
05:03Yeah.
05:04I feel like that might have been more because kids like American cheese.
05:07It's processed American cheese.
05:08I mean...
05:09And meat is better than giving the kids a grilled cheese, so...
05:11I love cheese on everything, so, like, it doesn't offend me, but...
05:14If there was no cheese on this, like, what's more common for brisket?
05:18Would there be a sauce?
05:19Yeah.
05:20Would there be, like, a dipping?
05:21Yeah, definitely a barbecue sauce.
05:22This feels like a very kid-friendly brisket, like...
05:25Yeah.
05:26I would say so, yeah.
05:27I don't think...
05:28I wasn't expecting, you know, it could be in, like, a Goldie's barbecue here or anything,
05:30but...
05:31Yeah.
05:32I feel like a little bit more towards kids, so I get it, but...
05:33Yeah.
05:34Not my favorite.
05:35I've only had brisket, I guess, at, like, barbecue places, where even without a sauce,
05:37it's usually a more smoky flavor.
05:39Sure, sure.
05:40Moving on to...
05:41Which one is this?
05:42That's the Haro's pulled pork sandwich.
05:44Now, pulled pork seems a little bit more of an easier thing to make.
05:47I'm more weirded out by the cheese and the pulled pork than I am in the brisket for some reason.
05:51I was about to say that again.
05:52Cheese and pulled pork.
05:53Dig in.
05:54Oh.
05:56The meat is flavored well.
05:59Better, yeah.
06:00In the brisket, I like the cheese.
06:02This pulled pork is so good that I actually would've just wanted it without the cheese and just the pork.
06:08We're on Minions land.
06:09I feel like...
06:10Kids taste takes center stage at this place.
06:12Yeah.
06:13Probably fine.
06:14The tots are not bad.
06:15And there's a barbecue sauce.
06:16I didn't try a tot yet.
06:17Let's see.
06:18Oh, that's super cute.
06:19They're, like, minion-shaped.
06:20I've had smiley fries.
06:22I've never had minion tots or minion fries.
06:24The flavor is a lot like you have the same breading you get in, like, a Chicken McNugget.
06:28Mm-hmm.
06:29I mean, you can't go wrong with potato, right?
06:31Fries, tots, minion, tots.
06:33This thing has been taunting me the soul.
06:34I leave it here, actually.
06:35Mm-hmm.
06:36It's a nachos in a mini-looking sombrero-type hat.
06:40Oh, yeah.
06:41We got some chicken.
06:42We got some queso, pico de gallo, guac.
06:43Let me get one with some stuff on it.
06:45Yeah.
06:46Okay.
06:47Better.
06:48Mm.
06:49Cheese.
06:50It's got a lot of, like, spiciness to it.
06:51Mm-hmm.
06:52The meat's flavorful.
06:53Go for a chip.
06:54All right.
06:55This is your favorite here, is the nachos?
06:57So far, yeah.
06:58Yeah?
06:59Lots of breeze through here chasing after loud children.
07:01Mm-hmm.
07:02They probably swing back at the nachos.
07:04Mm.
07:05The sandwiches did come with this.
07:06I thought that it was ketchup, but I wonder, do you think this is supposed to be for the
07:09sandwiches themselves?
07:10Yeah.
07:11Maybe.
07:12Oh, well.
07:13I tried it with the tots.
07:14Not bad.
07:15I mean, you know, for nachos that are made at the scale of the making them, yeah, it's
07:18pretty good.
07:19Mm-hmm.
07:20Yeah.
07:21Less than that waste, you want to try the banana pudding?
07:22Sure.
07:23Mm-hmm.
07:24I think it's like a sugar cookie of sugar, right?
07:25Oh, yeah.
07:26No, it's like a fondant.
07:27So that's, like, it looks cool, but it's not the most pleasing.
07:30Mm-hmm.
07:31Oh, interesting.
07:32There's, like, banana in it.
07:33When I think of banana, oh, this is, ah, this is Nutella, and then banana pudding, and
07:38then the whipped cream top.
07:40Okay.
07:41I was expecting that Nutella.
07:42I forgot about it.
07:43That's good.
07:44Mm-hmm.
07:45That's a really nice snack.
07:46One of the better sweet treats we had on this park.
07:47Mm-hmm.
07:48I really like that.
07:49Yeah.
07:50Yeah.
07:51All right.
07:52But before we hit a wall, I know we got a few more spots we want to hit.
07:53Yes, we do.
07:54So this was the most child-friendly stop we're making today.
07:57Let's hit the park and see what else we can come up with.
07:59Let's eat.
08:00Heading back to Springfield.
08:02Ah, we're back again.
08:03Get some Krusty Burger.
08:04We're back again.
08:05That sounds a lot nicer when it's not, like, pouring rain, right?
08:06Yeah.
08:07All right.
08:08We're here at Krusty Burger.
08:09We're getting Krusty Burgers.
08:11I'm also going to try the Rib Witch, a foot-long chili dog, and maybe a Squishy and a Buzz Cola.
08:18It's Krusty Burgers, so let's have a Krusty Burger.
08:20Oh, I should've got one.
08:21No pickle.
08:22All right.
08:23Yeah, I, again, I'm a plain guy, so I got just meat, cheese, banana.
08:28I mean, it does remind me of a fast food burger.
08:31That's pretty good.
08:32I mean, mine with the other stuff, like the sauce on here.
08:34Mm-hmm.
08:35It's a secret sauce.
08:36Do you think you know what the sauce is?
08:37Like, ketchup and Thousand Island, so they mix together.
08:40I mean, that'll like ketchup and mayo.
08:42Yeah.
08:43But for a burger, it's a good size.
08:44Tastes pretty good.
08:45Mm-hmm.
08:46They're cranking them out there, so.
08:47Of the fast food ilk that it is meant to parody, and of course, fries as well.
08:51For fast food fries, these are, like, a little thicker.
08:53Yeah.
08:54Like, I would've expected, like, skinny fries.
08:55I don't think I've ever had a steak fry like this at a fast food restaurant.
08:59Yeah, it's a running joke.
09:00Krusty Burger is unhealthiest fast food.
09:03When they introduced the rib witch, and then they announced at the end of that episode
09:06that they had to discontinue the sandwich because the creature that it was made from went extinct.
09:11Gross.
09:12And he doesn't say what it is, but somebody guesses, like, something like, was it a pig?
09:16And he says, no, smaller and more legs.
09:19And everyone's like, oh, God.
09:20Ew.
09:21So the joke, of course, was Krusty Burger itself is, like, the lowest fast food, just anything
09:28bottom of the barrel.
09:29Krusty is famously very greedy and terrible with money.
09:31Okay.
09:32And obsessed with his own celebrity.
09:33Great.
09:34So I would say that this food doesn't have that, which is kind of funny to walk that line
09:37of, like, something that's also the punchline is, it's bad.
09:40But actually, this burger looks pretty good.
09:41The rib witch here, right away, it was supposed to be a parody of the McRib, which is, like,
09:45a solid, rib-shaped piece of processed meat.
09:48Yeah.
09:49It's like a frozen thing they throw on.
09:50Yeah.
09:51This they went with a pulled pork-like sandwich.
09:54But that probably tastes better than a McRib.
09:56I would think so.
09:57Yeah, I did not get the rib sandwich.
09:58What did you get?
09:59I got the Sideshow, foot-long, chili, cheese, onion.
10:03If there's one thing I love, it is chili.
10:06Oh, yeah.
10:07That's pretty good for a pulled pork sandwich.
10:09Oh, yeah.
10:10Yeah.
10:11In the Simpsons, I do know, the Quickie Mart, I would be able to get a squishy there, which
10:16is a Slurpee.
10:17Correct.
10:18So I got the Blue Raspberry.
10:19You got, I believe, a Buzz Cola.
10:21What's it taste like?
10:22Tastes like cola.
10:23No flavor?
10:24Just plain cola?
10:25Yeah.
10:26I've had a guess.
10:27It's probably some off-brand cola.
10:29Yeah.
10:30It's definitely not Coke or Pepsi.
10:31I love, I would say Slurpee, but it's not.
10:34It's squishy.
10:35I love a squishy.
10:36They have Green Apple, which to me, I go Wild Cherry or Blue Raspberry.
10:40Green Apple to me, I don't, is that a Simpsons thing as a Green Apple?
10:43They have colors.
10:44I would say blue or green.
10:45Maybe they said cherry before, but usually they just say the color.
10:47Okay.
10:48Yeah.
10:49This is very like Marge hair color.
10:50I like it.
10:51Yeah.
10:52I don't know.
10:53Those drinks always give me a headache.
10:54You get brain freeze more than anyone I know.
10:55You know, I get it so easily.
10:56That's why I can't drink those types of drinks.
10:58Yeah.
10:59I feel like this is the area of the park where you get more fast food inspired fare.
11:03Yeah.
11:04Fast stuff, hot, delicious, grab and go, or sit here and watch the Simpsons.
11:08I think that's the general vibe they're going for in the Springfield area for the food.
11:12It's fun though.
11:13I mean, for me, this is like a great place to like be in the middle of the park.
11:15If you had to order one of these again, what was your favorite?
11:18Should have to get the Krusty Burger again.
11:20I think it's a very good burger.
11:21Yeah.
11:22If I had to order the dog again, I would just do no onions.
11:24To me, like the onions were a little bit overkill.
11:27So I'm going with the squishy.
11:30All right.
11:31Well, this was great.
11:32We are now heading over to the lower lot, Super Nintendo World to check out the Toadstool Cafe.
11:37So to get down to Super Nintendo World, do we get to like jump through some green pipes?
11:41No, I can take the escalator.
11:43Not the star.
11:44What is it?
11:45Not the stairway, the star way.
11:46Yeah.
11:47The star way.
11:48A less compelling video instead of pipes that's escalators, but.
11:50That'd be cool though.
11:51Like a green pipe slide?
11:52Like, come on.
11:53They don't do anything like that.
11:54Why don't they have so much fun?
11:55What do you mean?
11:56I think your insurance would be like, hard pass.
11:58No.
11:59Well, whatever it is, we're taking it.
12:01Oh, little sneak peek of a Super Nintendo World.
12:05Very cool.
12:06Wow.
12:07That is so cool.
12:08Yeah.
12:09It's just like really like, I like the overwhelming feeling of this.
12:12Yeah.
12:13Because they get stepped into the game.
12:14I mean, this is so different than Wizarding World and the other ones.
12:18Yeah.
12:19It really is like the polar opposite.
12:20Yeah.
12:21Welcome my man.
12:22This is the Toadstool Cafe in the Super Nintendo World part of the park.
12:27As you noticed when we walked over here, it is stimulus overload.
12:31This is the land of Mario and his pals.
12:34And this is the cafe.
12:35Pretty nice, right?
12:36I love it.
12:37I mean, I can see why you need a reservation to get in here because it is packed.
12:41Whew.
12:42All right.
12:43We got a lot of food and there's a lot to talk about first.
12:44Yeah.
12:45Why don't we dip into some of these starters first?
12:46We got garlic knots and the hirana plant caprese salad.
12:50I'm just going to stir with a nut right here.
12:52Yeah.
12:53Already looking at this whole spread.
12:54I'm going to take a bite first.
12:55Look at this.
12:56Toadstool, cheesy garlic knots, mushroom shaped, no mushroom flavor.
13:00Correct.
13:01Yeah.
13:02That's one thing that they got to overcome over here is being like, it's mushroom, but there's
13:04no mushrooms in.
13:05Yeah.
13:06Ooh.
13:07It's good.
13:08Yep.
13:09I would love to eat more, but I'm going to pace myself.
13:10Yeah.
13:11Caprese salad.
13:12I'm sure it's very, uh, very nice.
13:13Why don't you hop in and have a good bite?
13:14All right.
13:15Fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil.
13:17Yeah.
13:18You can see, like, the arms was the basil.
13:19Asparagus.
13:20That was the body of it.
13:21Asparagus.
13:22And they added what looks to be little, uh, things of cheese on the tomato and they
13:25cut it like its mouth is open.
13:26Yeah.
13:27Very good.
13:28I will say that the mozzarella and the tomato is better when you get a little bit of
13:31that pesto sauce.
13:32With the pesto, it was a good bite.
13:33I feel like a safe, healthy starter.
13:36All right.
13:37Now the first Super Nintendo Universal spot was in Osaka, right?
13:43Japan.
13:44I don't know if you saw it.
13:45I remember when that footage of that hit the internet, we were like, what is this magical
13:47place?
13:48Yeah.
13:49This location here at Universal Studios Hollywood opened in February of 2023.
13:53Nice.
13:54So it's one of the more newer additions to the park.
13:56I want to call that out because from the restaurant to the layout of the place, everything seems
14:00more like in tune with itself.
14:02Yeah.
14:03Like everything's more like dialed in.
14:04Yeah.
14:05Newer.
14:06Already this menu you're looking at and you're thinking like, okay, burgers.
14:08Yep.
14:09Or Caprici or garlic knots or short ribs.
14:11Like whatever you're feeling for this vibe right now, they have something for you.
14:15Yeah.
14:16I got this drink.
14:17This thing looks really good.
14:18I got here.
14:19That's fun.
14:20The little boba balls.
14:21Yeah.
14:22It's really good.
14:23I think really good for boba too.
14:24That's fun.
14:25So let's go on to what would be two of the more main courses you get here.
14:28First, of course, the Luigi burger.
14:30There's a Mario burger and a Luigi burger.
14:32Now, because it just came from Krusty Burger, I didn't feel the need to have another burger.
14:36Yeah.
14:37Yeah.
14:38So with the chicken sandwich, that's the Luigi.
14:39The Mario obviously is the cheeseburger.
14:41Totally.
14:42I'm sure we got a shot of it.
14:43Notice it has a little mustache there.
14:44But like, come on.
14:45How cute is that?
14:46Come on.
14:47This burger is branded with like the name of a place.
14:49Yeah.
14:50But as a kid, this is fantastic.
14:53Here we go.
14:54Mmm.
14:57Hell yeah.
14:58Mmm.
14:59Delicious taste.
15:00Grilled perfectly.
15:01And honestly, all the eating and running around we've been doing all day, our light chicken burger is a welcome change to a lot of the heavier foods you get at these places, you know?
15:11Totally.
15:12And like, I can tell you right now, these are going to be my favorite fries in the park because I am a sucker for truffles.
15:16Yeah.
15:17What I like about this food is that it walks that balance that a lot of these things have where it's like, the IP exists first, and how do we bring the IP to the restaurants, right?
15:25Yeah.
15:26They clearly, for all the stuff we're having here, just find fun ways to make the food look like things that exist in the world.
15:31They already have the caprese, they put a mustache on the burger.
15:34Yeah, that's clever.
15:35Yeah, they're adding clever visual flourishes to the food without having to come with like brand new dishes.
15:40Yeah.
15:41I'm surprised to see this on a theme park menu.
15:42This feels a little bit more elevated.
15:44Burgers and fries, totally theme park.
15:46Another surprise, I am shocked to see short ribs on a theme park menu.
15:51This feels elevated.
15:52I got the Eucharist right here, going to the Church of St. Toad over here.
15:56Do you like short rib in general?
15:57Oh yeah, sure.
15:58What's not to like about short rib?
16:00I think this is a goat cheese polenta as well, which-
16:02It's also surrounded in a red wine reduction.
16:05Mmm.
16:06Again, it's a little fancy.
16:07Wouldn't expect it at a theme park.
16:09Yeah.
16:10I think this is very good.
16:11Mm-hmm.
16:12Kind of a surprise to get short ribs and polenta at an amusement park.
16:17I agree.
16:18The creme fraiche is good, but for me this red wine reduction is fantastic.
16:22Nice, right?
16:23Mm-hmm.
16:24All right, man, let's switch over and have some of the desserts.
16:26Okay.
16:27Let me get a load of this, my guy, right?
16:29Yes.
16:30Question mark block.
16:31Usually hit to get a coin or possibly a power-up or a flower or something.
16:36Yeah.
16:37This one's a tiramisu cake.
16:38Lady fingers soaked in coffee, and they are surrounded by these edible blocks that I believe
16:45were printed in the kitchen.
16:47Nice.
16:48It's going to fall apart, but that's kind of because I'm digging into it.
16:51I'm going to go here and get a nice bite.
16:54I want to get all the layers.
16:56Oh, yeah.
16:57Oh, yeah.
16:58That looks so good.
16:59Fantastic.
17:00Mmm.
17:03Mmm.
17:04I love it.
17:05I think it's really great.
17:06Mm-hmm.
17:07I'm loving this tiramisu.
17:08I think kids would like this too.
17:09It's light.
17:10Yeah.
17:11What I like about it, like, you eat that, enjoy it, go back out to the park, keep running
17:13around after your children.
17:14Yeah.
17:15I love that even though it does look good, it's not like they've sacrificed anything
17:19because it actually also tastes good.
17:20So the fact that you can get something that tastes this good and looks this good in a theme
17:25park, like, to me, this is just as fun as an attraction.
17:28Because I feel like it usually isn't that way.
17:29Again, everything we've had here is really good, but don't you think if you go to a place
17:32and something that's really, like, gimmicky, you're like, oh, no, what is this?
17:35Yeah.
17:36They have really nailed that assignment here.
17:37This here is called the Mount Beanpole Cake.
17:40I've been playing Mario forever.
17:42Okay.
17:43Mario level ends, pretty much all end with you jumping the flagpole here and pulling
17:47it down.
17:48Well, why is it called the Beanpole?
17:49I've never heard it called the Beanpole.
17:50Again, I'm not considering myself any sort of expert.
17:52Okay.
17:53When I say about Beanpole, I'm like, this is a bag of beans.
17:55I do remember the poles, though, in the game.
17:57Of course.
17:58This is, like, what?
17:59Layers of chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and a...
18:01Matcha mousse.
18:02Oh, matcha.
18:03Okay, you start there, I'll start this way.
18:05Okay.
18:06Oh, yeah.
18:07I don't know if I've had many matcha-flavored things.
18:11Oh.
18:12Whoa.
18:13That's like a Neapolitan until you get to the matcha.
18:16Yeah.
18:17Okay.
18:18That's really nice.
18:19Wait, Neapolitan or Napoleon?
18:20Neapolitan.
18:21Oh.
18:22I'm short, so I have a complex.
18:23I forget.
18:24I do like the chocolate strawberry and vanilla flavors together.
18:26Yeah.
18:27Whatever it is, those combinations work really well together.
18:29In cake form, I think it's very good.
18:30I love it.
18:31This is the winner for me, but I can see why a lot of people would probably love this.
18:34This is also for a cake.
18:35It's light.
18:36It's not too heavy.
18:37I was going to say, all these desserts are very light.
18:39I think that's the key.
18:40Yeah.
18:41Like, if we had kids with us right now, they eat this and they'd literally spin out the door into this thing.
18:46You're like, here we go, so keep mom and dad nice and light.
18:50Yeah.
18:51Maybe I'm biased.
18:52I'm a huge Mario fan, but all this was absolutely delicious.
18:54All right.
18:55We have some very hard decisions to make.
18:57Yeah.
18:58Dave, we just went to four restaurants here at Universal Studios Hollywood.
19:03We've eaten a lot.
19:04Let's run through the list real quick.
19:05Yeah.
19:06We went to Jurassic Cafe.
19:07We went to Minions Cafe.
19:10We went to Krusty Burger, and we finished strong here at Toadstool Cafe.
19:15Toadstool Cafe here in Super Nintendo World.
19:18I was very surprised by most of the food we had today.
19:20I think there was a lot of really great stuff.
19:22If we had to pick a favorite, I'm just going to go ahead and say that my favorite was, in fact, the Toadstool Cafe.
19:28Loved the variety.
19:29Loved everything we had there.
19:30Loved all the desserts and, like, the playfulness and how it incorporated itself visually into the world.
19:35So, for me, Toadstool Cafe was my favorite.
19:38I agree with you.
19:40Yeah.
19:41It looked cool and fun.
19:42Yeah.
19:43It tasted amazing.
19:44We got a variety of things.
19:46Some that I would have expected at a theme park.
19:48Some that I was surprised to see at a theme park.
19:50Yeah.
19:51I feel like that checked all the boxes.
19:53Everyone in your family is going to be happy.
19:55Yeah.
19:56Something for everyone.
19:57That one's hard to beat.
19:58That's it, man.
19:59Thanks for showing me around Universal Studios.
20:00Yeah.
20:01My pleasure.
20:02Anytime.
20:05Bye.
20:06Bye.
20:07Bye.
20:08Bye.
20:09Bye.
20:10Bye.
20:11Bye.
