00:00How's that bread pillow?
00:02So good.
00:04Hey YouTube, it's Lucy Fink.
00:06We're gonna have some fun today talking about our favorite fruit, avocados.
00:11What the fuck?
00:12What is the deal with avocado toast?
00:17It's trendy. It's good for you.
00:19Some people in New York City are spending over $20 on a piece of avocado toast.
00:23I love avocado toast. I think I eat avocado toast like every morning almost.
00:28Every morning?
00:29Not every morning, but like most mornings.
00:32I don't make it at home, but I like to eat it at restaurants.
00:35I would probably only spend max $8.
00:40Eight? You're never gonna find a good piece of avocado toast for $8?
00:44Yeah, I will at my house when I make it.
00:46What if I brought you to a place in New York City where the avocado toast costs $16
00:52and I have you taste test it and we'll scale it on a rubric.
00:55Okay.
00:55A, how good the avocado is. Is it smooth? Is it ripe?
00:59B, how well it fits on the toast. Is it sogging up the toast or is it sitting on a
01:04nice piece of crunchy toast?
01:05Sure.
01:06And C, toppings and presentation. How amazing does it look and how good the toppings taste on top?
01:11You will see how $16 avocado toast can be worth it.
01:16And I cannot wait to prove you wrong. Please don't.
01:20That's all I got.
01:21When did people stop caring about the art of going to a restaurant and getting food potatoes?
01:25I love brunch. Don't get me wrong.
01:27You have no right!
01:29I love brunch.
01:31I just don't trust you anymore.
01:33I just have never trusted you.
01:35Alright.
01:37$16.33.
01:38Can you believe that?
01:39Can you believe this is $16? I can.
01:43Mine's falling apart.
01:45Cheers.
01:46Cheers.
01:50It doesn't stay together that well.
01:52Quality of the avocado is a 10.
01:54It's perfectly ripe.
01:56It's not brown.
01:57It's great.
01:59It's buttery.
02:00Buttery.
02:00I'd give that a 10.
02:02Okay.
02:02Now how it mixes on the toast, you're right.
02:05This is super anthology.
02:06It's not.
02:06You can give that like a 4 or 5.
02:08Yeah.
02:09So presentation, scale of 1 to 10.
02:11What do you give it?
02:11I would say on a plate, I would give this a 6.5.
02:15There's a lot of stuff on here.
02:16I can't even tell it's avocado toast.
02:17I'm going to give it a 5.
02:19Okay.
02:19I was being generous.
02:20Okay.
02:22The price?
02:22I give it a zero.
02:24What do you think?
02:25Should I put that on Instagram?
02:26I think you should throw out your clothes.
02:28I have to walk away.
02:29Look at that.
02:29It's ugly.
02:30It's not going on my feet.
02:31Let's go back and I'll make you some better avocados.
02:34You will?
02:35I will.
02:36This better be good.
02:38Do you think it had something to do with the fact that we got it to go?
02:40Maybe if we sat in, it would have been better.
02:41I think you have a lot of excuses.
02:43Can you watch when you're cutting?
02:44Okay.
02:44You do an interesting job of cutting avocados.
02:47That's how I deep hit an avocado.
02:48Yeah, same.
02:49Okay.
02:49I'm doing vertical lines on the avocado.
02:51And then I cut around the little rind.
02:54Is it called the rind?
02:56I like a little mush.
02:58Spread it around.
02:59I like to hatch it.
03:01You know, horizontal then vertical.
03:04Just get a roll that's spread.
03:05I love citrus on my avocado toast.
03:08I think avocado and citrus goes really well together.
03:11And this is a lemon pepper.
03:12So I sub regular pepper and red pepper flakes and salt.
03:15I do a little drizzle of olive oil.
03:17Because another great healthy fat.
03:22I already think it looks prettier than the $16 one.
03:25Just tell me how you feel.
03:26I feel right.
03:28I feel justified.
03:30If I'm being honest, I don't think I'm ever going to buy avocado toast again at a store.
03:35What is the deal with avocado toast?
03:38The deal is, you can eat it.
03:41It's still good for you.
03:42It's still delicious.
03:43But make it at home.
03:46Your fruit boobs are growing!
