will

any of it be any good?

It's time for good, ramen. traditionally it consists of three things, broth noodles and meat, and with that versatility you can get ramen practically anywhere, from Michelin-starred restaurants to those little styrofoam cups that got you a B wild h WT, so with that said , this first one is for all of us picky ones. diners who may need an entrée to the world of ramen we'll call it grilled cheese ramen or staying with dad this weekend Rob, look at that Josh, what have you done? We have pork broth with cheddar cheese, we have tomato infused noodles like tomato. soup and then we have a fried soft boiled egg wrapped in bread and then a pork katsu sandwich with grilled cheese layered on top, okay, first I'm going to have noodles, oh, now you are, I think you're supposed to, really You're supposed to do it. you're supposed to have this all together, it's like, well, there are no rules man, you can do it however you want and you can let everyone else do it however they want hmm, you have the cheesy pig that is and then him and you I have this egg here no, no, typically gjj, dairy and cheese are not part of it, which makes it feel so bad, but I don't want to be right, you know what I'm saying, this is all quite a deal this is one of my lips that I can't even touch myself I'm listening lubricated very lubricated whoa this is one of the best things we've had on this show and we've had a lot of really good things, this is up there, this is the top 10 of the best flavors I put in my mouth at this desk, so easy, grilled cheese, it

will

be ramen, yes, ramen is a fast food, so we thought, what if we combined it with fast food, ah, this?

It's Jack in the bowl, yes we have jack in the box ramen, how did this happen? Josh, so we made a buttery jack broth, which is exactly what it sounds like and then we have jumbo jack noodles, we just have two tacos on the outside like I do. I'm Bo Jack noodles, we crush some jumbo jacks right into the noodle batter and then we just boil them, they sound like cheeseburger noodles, yeah right, and then we also have a little curly fried fish cake, no fish in it, just fry the noodles

taste

like a hamburger and it's strange, it

taste

s like a noodle burger, have you ever just licked an entire restaurant like from the moment you walk in you like to drag your tongue to the cash register, that's what I'm getting. the noodles and then the butter is how I get into the jack-in-the-box every time I go to Tong first, what is this?

This is a curly cake, yes, and this is just a quesadilla, uh, I mean a taco that you don't make a mess. with perfection you know Taco Bell discovered it or Jackie Box discovered it um okay I like the taco dip there Owen it's good um I'm having myself we have a little problem with the noodles they're a little strange for my. I'm not excited about this, yeah, you know, I was so excited about the grilled cheese that I'm slowing down a little bit and this guy is just creepy, you know, you know, I think it's going to be perfect for him. serving is like, oh god, you're a clown or you're a ping pong, well a ping pong ball, okay, so are we saying jack-in-the-box, it'll be ramen without soda, it's cool in Kansas, great in a bottle, it's great in a glass, but is it great in a bowl?

We're calling this one that gets fizzy with Ramaa, bringing that back now as southerners we always have trouble calling it soda or soda because we just call it coke, we call it all coke time in water or you would. just call it what it was, I want some grape soda or "Oh, mellow yellow" or whatever, okay and we sold it to revitalize it a little bit with some fresh ginger ale, yeah, what's in this is like ginger ale, not in the bowl. well in the bowl so we have ginger ale and chicken broth and then we have an egg that is actually made from cactus and sprite which is a vegan egg substitute and then we have mustard greens and Mountain Dew pickled mustard and then we have chashu pork that is braised in dr cherry pepper and some dr grape soda noodles. stewed pork with pepper and this is a cold ramen in the style of a hiyashi chuka, which is a cold dish of Japanese ramen, look at that egg, look at this translucent egg, it looks like a soap that, like your strange aunt, would pretend that I had been making soaps.

Etsy isn't moving too much so you could have a cardboard box of grape soda noodles. I'm going to start my journey. I'm going to eat some egg. I'm so intrigued by that. I don't care hmm, that's something like that. well I like some great noodles, it's weird what I mean, it could be that there's just a lot of Skittles and water mm-hmm, if you told me that's it, it tastes like that, but I think Skittles and water would be a good thing. According to this, because on the cold walk the cold doesn't discourage me, I might become, what did you call it?

Ashley chuka yeah you own the same page here oh you saved Yaga you look upset I mean that's a little disturbing but it doesn't taste bad at all it tastes good it tastes like gummy yeah that's not bad and then that Yes, I think, I think I'm pleasantly surprised. This is quite an adventure. Who would have a soda? Robin yes, I like to drop a big, hard square ramen into some hot water and watch it relax into soft noodles and something very similar happens to me when I take a bath, so we thought, what if we turned the ramen into a bath bomb?

Say hello to the bath bomb. And? So it's baking soda, powdered sugar, citric acid and cornstarch that makes up the bath bomb. Then we have a lot of dehydrated ramen vegetables and instant ramen along with the seasoning packet, so let's throw this in there and the thing is solid, miss. if it's solid all the way and then we just give it a little time. I guess this is some damn colorful ramen, like a colorful bath bomb. There is some shrimp panic. I wish I could be in that bowl with him, yeah, the ball with I need to get my noodles off.

In fact, I think it's good to start eating knowing that it's still dissipating at the same time. I think we can safely eat the loose parts. Yes, this is, this is a strong, strong rock. a scoop of ramen meant for a really big bath, this is not right, although I mean, here you want that, yes, I'm trying to make the noodles still quite crispy, al dente is the cooking term, okay and if so Whether intentional, in fact it will. Say everything we're asking is intentional if you ask him if he's in - yes, that's right. Oh, but you know, it's not too crispy, it's like these noodles are in a plasma state, that's what Italian plasma state el dente really means and that's chicken. yes they have chicken oh god dehydrated chicken yes well it's hydrating right now you guys just didn't have the patient not very hydrated chicken is baking soda there's something that's really very baked hitting my palate , almost mainly baking soda, Wow, yes.

Can you eat baking soda alone? uh, we're finding out right now. I think that's difficult. What makes it bubbly and makes it rocky is also what makes it smooth. It makes you very salty. I really want to like it. this Josh, oh the experience was cool to see it start to happen, but then when it comes to the eating part of the meal, yeah, I'm going to say that right now, what kind of things don't come together, yeah, you get an A though for effort. bath bombs, is it ramen? Now when I look at dried ramen noodles I often think it looks like a brain except it's square and apparently this Japanese company thought the same thing, of course this is false advertising, there's no real brain there so in the interest of precision and honesty, the ramen of the marrow we have to eat from our own brain, from our own head, so this feels wrong.

I feel like we should want to eat from yourself or listen to your friend, yeah. I don't have enough of my own brain at least that's my opinion? What you want to do you read each other's brains we drank each other's urine yeah that feels good I feel good so I like what you've done with your facial here. I have a little shadow there I have a shadow okay I'm going to reveal first here oh my gosh look there's a real brain there it's not just naked oh wow the smell is Wow how did you do that?

So this is a 24 hour brain broth, we simmered the brains for 24 hours and then mixed some into the broth to get some body, there's a lot of body, we put it in the noodles and then just a little bit of fresh brain on top for texture, thanks for the fresh brain, oh. yeah, for the texture, okay, just the best, I don't want, I don't want him to see us eat, it smells absolutely horrible, it smells like that, that's something I've never done before, what does it smell like if you just did it. taking someone's head and ripping off the top of their skull, that's your opinion man.

I think if I can get used to the smell, I can at least try, this is what neurosurgeons see every day, man, okay. okay, let's not stop here anymore, okay, here we go, yeah, I guess we just have to create a bite and then you have to put some truth in it, oh god, there are pieces of brain all over my noodles, oh god, okay Well, the key is not to think about it. it's brain you have to think about it's something you know you're going to put the first brain on top there's brain everywhere actually there's a hair you have to honor the chef the chef's request you don't want to insult him, what you're saying, just get a lot, It's got a little piece of brain just sitting there, sitting right on top, okay, oh, yeah, yeah, I came to play today, put me on the trainer, how much do you have, what am I going to do.

I want the ball coach in the clutch, okay, I'm not going to spit this out. I'm psyching myself up to receive the equipment and slurp it up, oh man you're making it worse than it has to be, you should have started me all off. year, you see what I do when you put me, see how I behave under pressure, you can do it too, yes, no, don't shout too loud, push, just for fun, I say it. Wow, okay, now, hey, let it go now. Hold on, give it a moment to punch the gut and see if you get anything, let's cover this guy because I don't want to be.

I feel good, I feel smarter. I feel like I did something, but you know what the lingering taste in my mouth tastes like. like brains full, could it be ramen? No, okay, hey, you know, what we almost got there, we successfully consumed, oh my goodness, we have two things that were grilled cheese and soda, so I feel like we accomplished something today.
