I think this might be best idea for contents. The most cheap existing food vs most expensive food vs most "I could do the best" with cost-effective food
Absolutely because if it works like it did in this video, everyone watching can realistically go and make the dish the same day. There aren't any rare or expensive ingredients.
Stofers isn't the cheapest, it's on the mid to high end for frozen. There's several brands that are half the price.
Not that it matters, mac and cheese is super easy to make your own and better than any frozen.
And most restaurants won't be any better, just expensive for the convenience.
@@Vincent_Beers I think in specific it's the cheapest at the markets they went to not the cheapest on the market
Yeah, you're right, there's nothing better for content than this. We've reached the tippity-top.
and they get to show off developed recipes

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
Thanks!
This sounds fantastic
Bless you
Yall, Ive made it. They arent joking when they say its the best. It will make you abandon all other mac recipes.
Seeing as how LA has a great Mexican food scene having Josh compete against some Local tamales might make for a good challenge
new drinking game - drink every time Josh drifts off topic from the recipe - chug if he spends more than a minute on said other topic.
I like life
Are you ok?
Josh, I know you're busy brother - but you owe it to yourself to sit down with your wife and watch Schitts Creek.
I'm sorry but the expensive mac & cheese looks like something a dog barfed up, I can't be the only one.
yeah it didnt look appetizing
Yeah before he said it was the fancy plate, I was like why’s there a plate of gristle?
Yeah, I agree
It doesn't look good at all
"That's the sound of Grandma Helen" JOSH WHAT THE FU-
GILF's are a thing!
Pink GandSmurfette noises for the win!
My main takeaway is that Josh hasn't seen Schitt's Creek. I'm outraged.
My main takeaway is that is indeed Josh in Hot Tub Timemachine like I always thought
Get a life
@@bigcountry9593you first. you’re here too watching this video. go to your low paying construction job “big country”
Emily made a "fold in the cheese" reference in a past episode and he seemed like he had no idea what she was talking about. For shame!! 😂
@@bigcountry9593 She was joking my dawg
The $19 stuff may taste amazing but it looks like someone chewed up some cinnamon rolls and spit them back onto a plate.
100% must be a tastes-way-better-than-it-looks situation lol
yeah, whole pasta looks unflattering
Looks like churros to me.
This segment would be great for Pizza.
Also Josh made me spit out my drink legit when he did his Jay Leno bit. Kudos Josh.....kudos
Josh being a Måneskin fan just made my day
Mine too.
this would be a cool idea to throw into the "Naked" GMM series, throw a wild card "Mythical Kitchen" in there and try to make it the "cheap" one and see if you can beat the other stuff
This is actually what i want the "Fancy vs Frozen" GMM episodes to be! I want a low, medium, high and homemade option!
I didn't think you could make mac and cheese look unappetizing but that fancy place managed somehow
Mac 'n' Cheese? Nah, that's a plate of churros.
Bring back Emily!!! She needs to be regular
Way better than Jordan. She is biased against josh JUST because he isn’t a woman.
With the lumps Fergie all I am hearing is,"She's Lump, she's Lump, she might be dead.".
Floury Mac n cheese is the WORST. When I try a new restaurant, I'll typically order the Mac n cheese, and if the sauce is grainy / floury, I'm not trying anything else on the menu. This is such a basic thing to nail, if you can't make a cheese sauce without that awful grittiness, I don't care how fancy the ingredients are, and the overall flavour. It's ruined.
So Josh, congrats on making a better homemade version! Looked delicious, I'm stealing that recipe.
I thought they were talking about flowerly notes/ floral notes, because he mentions it is coming from olive oil at the end.
@@hijibiji1998 that’s what he heard, but she meant it as in flour, she clears up the misunderstanding after.
@@Misterboulanger thanks, I must've missed it.
Thomas Jefferson didn’t make Mac and Cheese. His enslaved cooks that he sent to learn French Culinary brought a version back and brought it to similar to what it is today. Watch or Read High on the Hog.
Josh being a Måneskin fan was not on my 2024 bingo list but hell yeah Josh 👊
Low-key if you're ever in Australia, come walk my dogs. One is super lazy, the other has energy to the max, it's a real balancing act to walk them together.
I 100% subscribe to putting Velveeta and mustard in my box macNcheese while I'm mixing it all up. It's fantastic
That Bob Ross momment between Josh and Nicole was grate 😂
HOW HAS JOSH, OUR JOSH, NEVER SEEN SCHITT'S CREEK.
We get it Josh, you work out a little lol
If your fictional grandmother isnt Betty White in any Film or TV show then shame on you!
A close second is Mrs. Doubtfire.
😂 no kidding!
I have news for you
100% agree!
Justice for Reba
Thank you for the Eurovision reference. Daoi Freyr was robbed. Play yaya ding dong.
Words I'd only seen and not heard before today - Maneskin. I assumed it was pronounced like main skin. According to Josh it's mon a skin. The more you know.
I just found your channel and I am really glad that I did. You have a wonderful presence and hearing your rambles and random facts is a treat. As a woman, each time I hear the women you work with behind the cameras laughing, it makes me smile because it's clear that you made sure that they feel at ease and respected in this work environment. Another thing that makes me happy is that you don't talk down on cheaper stores as an option and actively speak on its importance in many communities. I just want to say that you are all doing such a wonderful job and I am happy I found this channel❤
I really love Josh’s command of useless information -see reference to Eurovision 2021.
I need the WNBA Podcast with these two STAT
the herbal essences pull was insane, i completely forgot about those commercials
The expensive Mac and cheese looks like mini churros
As a European I absolutely love hearing Josh talk about Eurovision! And yes, that album of Måneskin in Italian was soooo much better than basically everything they put out now... my favorite is Coraline. I really hope they'll go back to writing songs in Italian again!
Those Herbal Essenses commercials are older than 2004, surely.
I’d love to see any variations of stuffed peppers!! I like it fine, but my husbands obsessed with that meal so I’ve made it so many times so many different ways lol. We’ve used regular rice, boxed seasoned wild rice, quinoa, ground beef, turkey, and deer. It’s always fun to see how it’s gonna turn out and a very easy recipe to tweak to suit whatever you’ve got in the house
"Nobody wants to be in an AW RATS situation." That's how you know Josh isn't a ratatouille chef. GG
...that fancy mac looks very unappealing
I add mustard powder (if not just the condiment) to most of my cheese-based dishes. I added some to some mac and cheese ages ago and it blew my mind! It's like my secret ingredient haha
So $19, by the rule of 3 from hospitality means that it costs them about $6.33 recurring to make each portion, as Im guessing that Macharroni Republic is a sit down place. Yes they no doubt buy in bulk to keep costs down but still. Something to think about
Not everything is rule of 3 in a restaurant. Mac and cheese without a meat topping wouldn't cost $6+ for that small a portion if they're buying in bulk.
@@Vincent_Beers - I was a kitchen manager for like 2 years and yea, that fancy mac is MAYBE like 3 bucks a serving.
I
@Vincent_Beers I understand that most of the time, the rule of 3 doesn't apply, I'm a waiter and know somewhat of the costs and whatnot in relation to what I serve to what we charge. But the fact remains you strive for x3, and if you can get more, more power to you.
" To understand the state of mac & cheese in America ,you first need to understand the state of American nation building in the late 18th century" is a very Josh statement
Am I the only one who thinks the most expensive, fancy Mac and cheese doesn't even look good? edit - wait was that Josh in a baby bonnet and tighty whiteys in the middle of the boxing ring, or am I still asleep and dreaming the most messed up dream ever??
Anyone remember that episode with Emily, want to say it was fancy fast foods, and Josh said he was folding something in and Emily kept making the “fold it in” joke. And Josh had no idea what she was referencing. Look how far Josh has come! He still doesn’t know what show that’s from, but he knows the joke! 😂
Maccheroni republic is honestly one of the best Italian places out there and the owner is super chill
Do we have Nicole’s recipe anywhere? I would love to try it
A few comment down on my screen:

@@ffwast omg thank you so much!!!!!
Muriel Bagge the goat 😅 iykyk!! Everyones favorite fictonal grandma!
Is anyone else bothered that Josh did not put down the lid on the evaporated milk? That he kept running his arms over the top of the Very Slicey lid?
I love when Josh talks science. Sodium citrate as the "god molecule" makes sense. Citrate is essentially citric acid - as in the Citric Acid Cycle. 😊 Lots of happy ATP (energy molecule of the body). 😊 The silky texture of the Velveet'er makes total sense as well, due to sodium citrate and the interactions it will have with the other molecules involved - especially the glutamates he mentioned.
Sorry, I'm a biochemist and a nerd who loves food. 🤓
Ahh yes the “rock you senseless” era of shampoo 😂😂
I think I may for sure make Josh's/Nicole's mac n cheese! Seems very yummy! Glad the recipe is posted in the description! ^.^
Favorite fictional Grandmother - the feisty granny from ye olde looney toons that owned Tweetie and Silvester
“Just fold it in David!”
Coruscant Macaroni? Damn, imported from the heart of the republic, no wonder it was so expensive
Favorite fictional grandmother is definitely the grandma from Max & Ruby, she was always so sweet
I've been using Nicole's Mac and cheese recipe for a couple years now for family gatherings and it always steals the show. I will never tell them where I found the recipe.
A little of chicken stock and white pepper in a cheese sauce makes it way better
Great premise for a series. Happy to finally see some blind taste testing instead of telling them who made what. Keeps them honest. Had Jordan known which was which, she would've said the Macharroni Republic was the best. Hands down.
okay but let's talk about how maneskin's second (the last italian one) album is actually a masterpiece! their third album is....fine...i understand they're breaking into the western music industry....but...nothing hits quite like coraline or la paura del buio!
When you said which one they prefer I assumed multiple people would be trying it
Josh once said Evaporated Milk was more milk per milk, which has been stuck in my head ever since.
can yall post the recipe for nicoles mac?

thank you for the schitts creek bit made my day before 8am
people just start yappin when they were trying to describe the "notes" lol.
this makes me wonder how a velveeta + smoked gouda would be for mac n cheese
Josh finally made a Eurovision reference I understood, good job!
Josh looks like a jacked Milo from Atlantis
The sound of that metal whisk scraping the ceramic Dutch oven hurts my soul
Adding a tin of smoked oysters to your Mac and cheese before you bake it is absolutely delicious.
9:20 so embarrassing but too perfect of timing to not mention. exactly at this moment I let a huge one rip lmao completely didn't plan that
The only frozen Mac & Cheese I like is Trader Joe’s and Beechers.
When I had the TJ mac and cheese for the first time it was transformational!! I used to live by Pike Place Market and we went into Beechers storefront all of the time. I must have had the mac and cheese but I honestly can't remember since it was 20 years ago.
I've had to yell at people that their MSG "sensitivity" isn't a physiological thing, it's just racism.
I have a family member that claims to be allergic to MSG. You know one of their favorite seasonings to add to meats or pasta? Accent. Which main ingredient is...
@@taveonhurd8152 As far as I know, it's pure MSG with maybe an anti-caking agent.
No, mine isn't racism, it's neurodiversity. The overwhelming flavour, combined with the dehydration caused by the MSG makes me cranky. It happens as much with Doritoes and McDonald's as it does with Chinese or Indian takeaway food. I just avoid hyper processed food and I'm sweet.
racism? what the hell are you talking about? you think msg is somehow related to a specific race? now THAT'S racist.
@@_korbo_ boy do i have news for you
After purchasing and using the Mythical utensil cookware set, my missing testicle grew back
Would love this application to actual gmm episodes but this was such a good episode! Following the recipe now
Muriel from Courage the Cowardly Dog is my favorite fictional grandma! Yall should totally do an episode where you use ingredients people are normally afraid to use, like durian. 👀
Metal whisk on enamel pan? Raaage!
It hurt me so much 😭
Cheddar cheese right out of vermont, are you sure it wasn't right of of cheddar England?
My favorite fictional grandma is the Grandma from Hoodwinked
tbh when I stumbled across this channel a while ago I didn't get it, but seeing a few vids like these now it totally makes sense. Video ideas seem to have improved and the host is chill and more importantly an obviously great cook. Good stuff!
Store bought vs homemade is one question that GMM has to answer.
You literally got this like for the Maneskin talk
I completely missed the part where Josh cooked because I just had the video on in the background and zoned out. I still think Josh probably won.
10/10, would zone out again
I was not expecting Josh to quote a Tyga song
Still hoping this becomes a full series!!
Love Chef John's mac n cheese!
Josh is great! Love ya Josh!
JOSH I ADORE YOU! I love that you also think måneskin’s new songs are crap because they are… the italian ones are 100 times better. this is coming from a fan who was a fan even before eurovision
Personally, I do half the creamy white sauce and half fondue sauce (love the winey kick)
5:55 rip in peace captions, gone and kinda forgotten
I love jordan and josh so flippin’ much
I cant believe Josh thought she meant it tasted like FLOWERS and not FLOUR lmao
“Who’s your favorite fictional grandma?”
Sugamama. Immediately.
My favorite fictional grandma. That's a tough choice. Prolly the one from Grandma's Boy 💯
yknow with the mention of mac and cheese being a staple in soul food I was kind of expecting josh to mention how the recipe thomas jefferson is often credited for was actually developed by enslaved chef james hemings! jefferson was just responsible for introducing it to the founding fathers/the U.S.
I started using evaporated milk in my Mac and Cheese because of the Mythical Kitchen, and it changed everything. keeps it so silky and rich
THANK YOU FOR CALLING OUT THE BREAD CRUMBS. It's mac and cheese, not a pot pie!
According to America's Test Kitchen, before pasteurization, canned evaporated milk was more likely to be used than "fresh" milk.
Metal cans were after Thomas Jefferson's time but when you get to the middle nineteenth century maybe try using evaporated milk when the recipe calls for milk.
It's also more heat stable and is less likely than fresh milk to break when you simmer it.
Grandma from The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker
Fully agree with your Måneskin opinion that the first fully-Italian album is way better than the second!
My favorite fictional grandmother is Reba Macentire… 5:03
I love that Josh went on a Manėskin tangent! 😂
