How good are we at identifying these hot sauces while blindfolded?
-
Let's talk about that.
-
♪ (theme music) ♪
-
- Goooooooood Mythical Morning. - Nothing transforms a meal quite like
-
a hot sauce, one of my favorite things to put on top of food. And today we're
-
gonna find out who's better at tasting the hot sauces and telling the difference.
-
- Differentiating between them as well. - I'm pretty good at tasting them.
-
And eating them in rapid fashion. Yeah, I mean, you're a fan of hot sauce.
-
You've talked about it so much over the years that I've started to put hot sauce
-
on stuff, but I'm gonna go ahead and hedge a little bit and say that I don't think
-
I'm anywhere near as good as you are at identifying hot sauces.
-
- Really? - But we're gonna find out today.
-
- Okay. - Line yours up at home and be sure to
-
- play along. Get your blindfolds ready. - We're dealing with what we have found
-
to be very common hot sauces, at least here in the western part of the
-
- United States. - Mmhm. Start down here.
-
We'll start with Tabasco. It's in a class of its own, a very distinctive taste, but
-
it's popular the world over. We've got Tapatio, which is in a lot of restaurants
-
out here. You find it on almost every restaurant table. It's a Mexican hot sauce.
-
- He's cool, that dude. Big hat. - Frank's Red Hot, which is just a classic
-
- American hot sauce. Put it on anything. - Wing sauce. Ah, Cholula is one of my
-
favorites, because it has a wooden top. I'm sure that's why it's one of your
-
- favorites. - Oh yeah.
-
- Wooden top! - I love it.
-
- It is my favorite because of that. - Mexican flair. And then you've got the
-
Asian sensation known as Sriracha. Ah, rooster sauce. You know what's up.
-
And a favorite from my childhood: Texas Pete.
-
- Made in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. - Yes, it says Texas but it's from
-
- North Carolina. - But they sell it out here.
-
Okay, so what we're gonna do is, we have a number of rounds. We're gonna be
-
blindfolded, of course, and we have five rounds where we're just gonna taste one
-
of these six sauces. We're not doing six for six because we wanna make it a little
-
- challenging for us. - Mmhm.
-
So, that's just identifying one sauce. And then you've got two rounds where we're
-
gonna combine two sauces and make a Frankensauce, and there's one point
-
available per each sauce, so two points per round.
-
And then, I'm told there is a super-secret third round
-
- Yeah. - that we know nothing about, that is
-
worth three points, so I can come back from behind (laughs) and win at the end.
-
That's a secret sauce that is not amongst these, and we have to identify the pepper
-
- that it was made with for three points. - Okay. Are we ready to go to the
-
hot sauce zone? It's time to play...
-
- (Link) Can we identify that hot sauce? - (Rhett) ... while blindfolded?
-
Okay, I am currently bibbed and blindfolded. Rhett, are you...
-
- bibbed and blindfolded? - I'm blindfolded and bibbed.
-
- Ohh. - Is that the same thing?
-
- Yes it is... I think. - Okay. What we could do is we could just
-
put the hot sauces in a spoon and eat that, but who does that? Nobody does that.
-
- That would be crazy. - Booo, stupid.
-
You gotta put it on food and we're from the South, and everybody puts hot sauce
-
- on chicken. - Fried chicken.
-
Fried chicken! So we're gonna be delivering the hot sauce to our mouths
-
with fried chicken. But uh-uh, not just putting it in our hand. We're gonna be
-
using the patent-pended Chicken Stick, soon to be available at
-
- rhettandlink.com/store.
-
You said "patent-pended," not patent-pending.
-
(laughs) Well, it pended and then... It's probably still pending.
-
Don't come near this, it is already pended. It is over.
-
All right, so let's gear up for Round One!
-
Yes!
-
(in unison over dramatic music) Round One!
-
- Okay, let's bring in the-- - Chicken sticks.
-
- Bring in the chicken sticks. - Imma open--
-
Oh, oh! (laughs) Mm!
-
- Mm. Mkay, mkay. - Mm.
-
Jen's a little aggressive with her chicken stick!
-
- (crew laughs) - Mm. That's kinda hot... and saucy.
-
- (Link) Mm. - (Rhett slurps)
-
- There's definitely a sweetness... - (Rhett slurps more)
-
- and a bite to it. - I got some on my hand and I'm licking.
-
- Is that against the rules? - How'd it get on your hand?
-
'Cause Jen's aggressive with the chicken stick!
-
- What'd you do, push it away? - No, she just really sauced it up!
-
- (crew laughs) - (Link smacks lips)
-
- She's Canadian. - Now Imma tell you right now, that is a
-
- good sauce. - That is a gooood sauce.
-
Why don't you verbally process so I can get an advantage here?
-
I think it tastes really good, even though it was delivered aggressively, I don't
-
mind. I liked it. I would eat more of that chicken. I'd eat that chicken all day.
-
It's the hot sauce, not the chicken we're talking about.
-
Oh! Hot sauce! Oh, I gotta think about what that is.
-
- All right, I-- - I have a guess.
-
- I think I've got my guess. - Ready? Three, two, one.
-
(in unison) Frank's.
-
- Ohh! We're right there! We both agree! - Eyy! A little Frank action!
-
- Yeah, yeah, yeah? - You givin' me five?
-
- Yeah, yeah, yeah! - Yeah! I can sense--
-
- You felt that five come out? - I can sense that you were doing that.
-
All right, now, before moving on to Round Two, we need to cleanse our palates
-
and we're gonna stay with the Southern theme. We have a bowl of grits here.
-
- Just plain ol' grits. - And I'm gonna palate cleanse.
-
We don't have a grit stick, sorry.
-
Mm! Nothing like some bland grits to clean that palate.
-
Oh! Mm. I probably didn't need that much grits.
-
Mm. All right, onto Round Two.
-
(in unison over dramatic music) Round Two!
-
All right, bring it in, Becca. Rrengh!
-
- (with mouth full) Okay? Mm. - (crew laughs)
-
Mm.
-
Mm! Smoky!
-
- Definitely some smokiness in there. - I could do this a lot.
-
- This is good, isn't it? - I'm gonna demand all my chicken on
-
- chicken sticks from now on. - Mm! Um... all right.
-
- Maybe I'm better at this than I thought. - (mocking) Maybe I'm better than this!
-
- (all laugh) - Link, (shouts) you're better than this!
-
- I am too good for this, guys. I am out! - Okay, I'm ready. I think I know this is.
-
I think I'm ready. In three, two, one.
-
- (Rhett) Tapatia. - (Link) Cholula.
-
Uh oh! No agreement there! But we're in Mexico. One of us is right and one of us
-
- is wrong, I feel like. - Really, you think that's Cholula, huh,
-
- friend? Hmm! - I've actually never had Tapatio, so...
-
I said "Tapatia," but it's Tapatio is what I meant.
-
- Disqualified. - Y'all know what I mean.
-
Next round!
-
(in unison over dramatic music) Round Three!
-
- Rrengh! - (both laugh)
-
- That was the sound of my mouth opening. - That means, Jen, that means I'm ready for
-
- my chicken stick. - (laughs) Mrrengh!
-
Oh! Mm.
-
- (with mouth full) Mkay, okay! - (crew laughs)
-
Mm! This one's got some immediate bite. It's sour-er.
-
(smacks lips)
-
- (Link) Mm! Oh, gosh. - I've been down this road before.
-
- (chuckles) - Eh. This one is not-- ooh, I'm about to
-
- hiccup. I can feel it about to happen. - Yes you are!
-
Ah. (slurps) Man, it makes me feel alive! Are your lips stinging?
-
Yeah. My lips are stinging and my mouth is stinging.
-
I normally don't get this much sauce on my lips.
-
- It's very vinegary. - Never eaten with a chicken stick before.
-
Even got some over here on my cheekus. Cheekus... maximus.
-
- Okay, I think I know, man. - Yeah. I got this one too.
-
- Three, two, one. - (in unison) Tabasco.
-
- Hah! Yeah! Uh-huh! - Lemme drink a little. Mm, move on.
-
(in unison over dramatic music) Round Four!
-
I gotta put some grits on my lips 'cause they're burning so much.
-
- Grit lips. - (both slurp)
-
That's a good-- that could be a lip balm.
-
- (Link) Oh yeah. - Hey, man, you heard about Grit Lips?
-
- (slurps) - They're sellin' it at
-
- rhettandlink.com/store. (laughs) - That's something I say to a woman
-
I'm sweet on. Hey Grit Lips, come over here and... pucker up.
-
- (laughs) A woman you're sweet on? - (slurps)
-
- Okay, all right, bring it in. - Like, you've got some gritty lips, girl.
-
- Mm. - (Link) Mm!
-
(Rhett) Aw yeah. Mm.
-
- That's almost too easy. - Takin' flight! (chuckles)
-
But I'll tell you right now, not my favorite on chicken.
-
- No, that's better on a... a pizza. - It's gotta a slow burn to it.
-
- In three, two, one-- - (in unison) Sriracha!
-
- Yeah, that one is so distinctive. - It's so distinctive, Link.
-
I almost said "Linktive." So distinctive, Linktive. Can I call you Linktive?
-
- Sure. - Moving on!
-
(in unison over dramatic music) Round Five!
-
- (Rhett) Mmm. - That's hot. I've got a cumulative
-
buildup of heat now, that the top of my head's starting to sweat.
-
- Huh. - My nose is really starting to run.
-
- I'm a little confused. - Yeah, I know. After that Sriracha...
-
- I know that was Sriracha. - (clears throat) Mm!
-
No, no, no, no. No, no, no. Yes, yes, yes. It's coming to me.
-
- It's definitely fried chicken, still. - I think I have an advantage because
-
- I have a beard. - You're eating it off of the beard?
-
- No, no I'm not. (chuckles) - Okay, I'm ready. In three, two, one.
-
(in unison) Texas Pete!
-
- Yep! - Winston-Salem, North Carolina
-
- right there! - Yeah, represent!
-
- (manly grunting) - Take your shirt off, twist it around
-
- your head... spin it like a helicopter. - Okay, so, that's five rounds so we're
-
gonna get a score update, see where we stand.
-
(Noah) All right, so the first sauce, Round One, was Frank's Red Hot.
-
- Woo! - (Noah) You both got that right.
-
- Ho, ho, ho! - (Noah) Second round was Cholula.
-
- Whoah! - (Noah) You guessed wrong.
-
- (Noah) Link, you were right. - Link in the house!
-
- Early lead! Early lead! - (Noah) Round thir-- Round Three was
-
- Tobasco. You both got that. - Round Third!
-
(Noah) Round Four was Sriracha; you both got that right.
-
- (Noah) Round Five was Texas Pete's. - Aw, yeah.
-
Okay. Wow, five for five! I thought you would be good at this, Link! You hedged
-
- a little bit; it was unnecessary. - I know, man.
-
- I didn't taste the wood! - It's the grits, it's the grits.
-
I didn't taste the wood! Hm! Sorry! Okay, I'm down four to five going into the
-
- Frankensauce rounds. - She didn't put the cap in my mouth,
-
- either, if that's what you're asking. - Frankensauce rounds, go!
-
(Morgan, evilly over dramatic music) Frankensauce!
-
Now, this is not gonna be easy. Two sauces, one... leg.
-
(with mouth full) Okay! Oh.
-
(Link) Mm.
-
(Link) Mm.
-
Uh.
-
Hm.
-
Gah.
-
Hm.
-
Ehh.
-
Hm.
-
Mm.
-
Wow. (slurps) I don't know, man! But I'm... (groans)
-
- All right. - Wow, okay. I-- hm.
-
All right, Imma... Imma go for this. Three, two, one.
-
- (Rhett) Texas Pete and Tapatio. - (Link) Frank's and Cholula.
-
Oh, so we're both totally different. I said Frank's and Cholula, you said
-
- Texas Pete and Tapatio. - Okay, how'd we do?
-
(Noah) All right, you both got one point on that one. It was Frank's Red Hot and
-
- (Noah) Texas Pete. - Dangit! That was-- I wanted to say that
-
- 'cause it tasted so classic! - (Link) Okay.
-
But I was just trying to mix it up a little bit, dangit!
-
All right, still in the lead! Next up.
-
(Morgan, evilly over dramatic music) Frankensauce!
-
- Okay, here we go. - Chicken stick in, chicken stick in!
-
Rrengh!
-
- Okay. I got this. - Hold on!
-
- C'mon, the pressure's on, Rhett! - Hold on.
-
It's all over. Imma go over here and take a nap. (snores)
-
- Okay, all right. - Mkay. Three, two, one.
-
(in unison) Sriracha and Tobasco!
-
- Oooh! - (laughs)
-
- The Tobasco has such a-- they both are - (in unison) so distinct...
-
- That I tasted one and then two. - Yeah, they both cut through.
-
- So, were we right on that one? - (Noah) You got both half right.
-
It was Sriracha, but it was Sriracha and Cholula.
-
- Agh, dangit! - Ohhhhh, man!
-
I had an opportunity to pull away and I didn't!
-
If you mix Rooster and Cholula you get Tobasco, and we just totally ruined
-
- their secret! - Okay, so Link, going into the final
-
round, you are up by one, which means that I have to get this one right and you
-
have to get it wrong in order for me to win. So, you have to guess the pepper.
-
It's one sauce, but we have to guess the pepper that it's made with.
-
(Morgan, over dramatic music) Mystery Sauce!
-
Okay. Guess the pepper. All right, whatever, let's do it. Bring it in.
-
Eeeengh.
-
(Link) Hm.
-
Lotta smackin' happening. Boy, it is very distinct.
-
- I might need a second bite. - I call for a second bite also.
-
Okay. I just slurped some... mm.
-
- All right. - It doesn't taste good.
-
- It makes my ears hurt. - (sings) ♪ I think I know the answer! ♪
-
♪ I think I know it! I wanna guess it right now. ♪
-
- Um... - ♪ It makes me wanna sing! ♪
