Josh's shirt matching the cabinets makes me feel safe and happy.
I noticed that all while he was talking about how green the parsley was. I had a full existential crisis because I never knew what color the cabinets were before that moment
He’s dressed like a dollar tree associate
off topic- why are girls sticking jewelry in their nose these days? dang, it just looks like a shiny booger!
@@Jon0892 I didn't even notice his shirt color OR the cabinet color until this very comment.
It feels like alternate universe josh that's lost all hope but I'm here for it
I love that Josh is not snobby about cheap ingredients and actually focuses on taste
Cough Joshua Weismann Cough
But it IS important to note ALL ingredients! Lots of fillers-at least we don’t have melamine in our milk like China found!
@@llamamama2910i😅😊😊
"I never know what to do with my off-hand" - holds it like a T-Rex.
Stop attacking me, it isn’t nice.
9:22 fr fr ... my first thought was "copy angela" (from smosh) she just twists and turns her fingers and it's somehow very meaningful
Only MC Josh can go from a deep, heartfelt monologue on love and finding "the one" to just shouting "PASTA'S DONE!"
As a former fencer (the swords not the yardscaping) the dinosaur offhand into a behind the back tuck is a relatable experience
Thank you for the "swords not yardscaping" because even though you said that, I still was like "dont u NEED both hands to put up a fence?"
I’ve realised that the reason I love this series so much is Josh rambles far more in these videos and I am absolutely here for it
same 😊
Josh getting tired.. just throwing water into his pan trying to do it with a strainer. Then going Pizza's done ! .. Pizza's not done!
Ironically per Josh's comments around 19:30, I actually met my wife on Tinder while working a double shift on an evening when I normally wouldn't have been at my job. And the town she was living in was outside of the range of where I was living at the time. We only matched because I was at work, since my job was closer to where she was.
Wild how things can work out
And even though it was likely chance, it's nicer to think that maybe, just maybe, the universe conspired for you to meet 😉
My partner and I have a similar story. He lives out of range and I was about to delete my tinder but decided to swipe one more time. He had to do a job by my town and I swiped and he swiped when he had a break.
Best part is he also asked me out to dinner because he said f*ck it, and I said yes because I said f*ck it 😂 We both don't normally go that quick
That's how God works, mysteriously thru synchronic coincidental chances of cause and effect.
@@ezramalakai9899 No such thing as God.
@@ezramalakai9899 God doesn’t exist, and if she did, she wouldn’t care about your love life.
the "that is neither an endorsement nor an indictment" bit for real just clarified what an indictment is. And that's not at all the most random random information i've ever gotten from MCJosh, tbh.
McJosh? Like McDonald's owns him as a sandwich? Lol
M C Josh
I read it, why couldn’t you?
Master of Ceremonies Josh??
I made a joke
I wrote it, why couldn't you read it?@@vincedibona4687

The worst thing about the Donner party was that they were lied to about the route they were taking - by their guide - which lead to the whole "stranded on a mountain til there's nothing left to eat but people" thing.
why lie
@@AJ-ht3kf Because the guy, Lansford Hastings, was a self-important early migrant to California who thought he'd found a shortcut alternative - named Hastings Cutoff, of course - to the usual Oregon Trail (which actually added over 100 miles to the trip) that ended up going through northern Utah and that he'd only traveled himself once on a journey back east from California under much easier conditions. When all was said and done, Hastings received a lot of death threats for his role in the disaster. He also later sided with the Confederacy during the Civil War, plotting to bring California in on their side, but failed and then sought to guide former Confederates to Brazil, which was still a slave nation at the time. He ended up dying in the Virgin Islands transporting a shipload of settlers, ironically.
That was an experience no one else got to have, though, so the guide could call it exclusive
hail satan
No the worst thing was the natives tried to help them to the point where they literally left them food, but the Donner party didn't trust them and burned the food.
Josh’s green shirt and khaki pants is giving chef Steve Irwin.
"Look over there. That's a *insert animal of choice*. They're one of the most dangerous creatures in the world... they make for a really great pizza"
I love that time of outfit!
its giving dollar tree
As an StL resident, I laughed way too hard at Josh's rant about cracker pizza and the Rams. Keep up those deep cut jokes, MK!
He really woke up and chose violence with that didn't he 😳😅
bro hit my soul with those i cackled lol
Seriously he made wish I had a Imos Super Deluxe right now..I need to visit home soon.
The Rams joke caught me off guard and got a very good chuckle out of me lol But I won't stand for STL pizza slander!
Same, though now I want some imo’s fries..
Fun fact! The whole sugar in pasta sauce originates from Italian Americans trying to recreate the same recipes here in the states that had originated with their family members in Italy. Tomatoes over there are generally sweeter (I’ve heard it was because of volcano ash in the soil) so your options if you want to get the same flavor in the states is to either buy canned tomatoes from Italy (which is the reason why every Italian American grandma has a die hard loyalty to a specific canned tomato brand) OR to add sugar.
that's very interesting! I definitely want to look into this more.
times are tight, but your shirt is tighter
Josh is pretty ripped, it would be a shame for him not to wear a super tight shirt
His wardrobe game leveled up so hard lately
Lol. If I was as fit as him I'd probably wear tight shirts too
For tomato sauce, I was taught to add a carrot to the sauce to remove acid, because a lot of tomatoes are over ripe when they make the sauce in late summer. Also, we add garlic with the peel on to minimize the bitterness and remove before adding the sauce, basically to flavor the oil. Sugar masks the acidity, it doesn’t remove it. Many Italians suffer with GERD which is why these tips help.
I love shredder carrots in pasta sauce. I always thought it was to 'add sugar to pasta sauce' but as a healthier option.
Try baking soda. The base should neutralize the acid
What I was taught is to allow the tomatoes/sauce to simmer for a really long time at low temp. As it simmers the acidity mellows out and the sauce becomes naturally sweeter without having to add sugar. I can't speak to the science of this (never did look it up), but anecdotally it works wonders in my experience.
@@clovell I haven’t shredded carrots. When I add the carrot I tend to take it out because it’s absorbed the acid, but you could add it shredded or diced and eat it as is.
@@daniceeRoot vegetables are always a good idea in sauces or stews. I suggest adding in roughly 1:2 or 1:1 diced onions to tomatoes.
As an Alex i must apologize for getting the math wrong in the factory 😂
I precook my pizza toppings in bulk to reduce the wetness because my oven doesn't have a fan in it. So the crust would burn if I cooked it long enough to de-sog the toppings. Almost the same toppings used here just black olives and hot Italian ground sausage. I'd ferment the dough I made for three days or less or more depending on how lazy I was and how much I wanted pizza. Because of that I always made a double batch of dough because it's crazy how much better fermented dough is. I also bought whatever pizza or pasta sauce jumped out at me then add seasoning until it tasted the way I liked it. Best pizza I've ever had. I should make pizza again
Agreed
Josh's advice about "the one" was something I really needed to hear
But then PASTAS DONE absolutely broke me 🤣🤣🤣
Omg I call it Jarlic too! And my wife still looks at me like I'm crazy, and I call the jarred ginger and garlic Gingar
Not sure how feasible it is, but it’d be great to see some of the regional grocery store rivalries. For me it would be Kroger vs Publix.
Kroger is everywhere (in some locations by a different name, but Kroger is the main name.)
Josh's chaotic energy makes me feel so much more normal with the way I act at work 😂. I may go on a bunch of tangents...but we'll get it done and you'll learn a lot 😅
When you spoke about diary products costing more at Dollar Tree - I have worked at a large scale grocery store and a small market. The diary was significantly more at the small market. The manager explained to me that the companies they buy the diary from have quotas for sales and when you have a certain level of sales the price of each product goes down which means you can sell the product for less. So you are right in a way but it is less about the cost of storage etc and likely more to do with the fact that the companies sell the products to the grocers at different price points depending on how much product said grocer is selling. Unfortunately the smaller scale grocers who don't sell as much need to make money too so they have to adjust the price they charge accordingly. In my experience the 4L jug of milk was about $1.50 more than at the larger scale grocers - I think $5 or $6 at the small scale grocer and $3.50 or $4 at the larger scale grocer (I live in BC, Canada for reference).
Buying by the pallet vs buying by crate...or hand-picked individual items stuffed into milk crates.
Same province here and I agree. Smaller scale stores have to pay higher prices themselves, since they sell less of those items than a larger store like Real Canadian Superstore, or Freshco for example.
normally that is true, of course larger stores can buy stuff in bulk thus reducing their costs and hopefully passing it along to customers. BUT, with the current economy in the US, large stores often have higher prices during high inflation because their expenses are much more (energy, workers, etc) and during high inflation you can often find cheaper prices at smaller stores. For instance my local grocery store chain normally has cheaper prices than dollar general, but in the past few years their prices are VASTLY higher than dollar general now because their expenses have gone up so much. Dollar general 8 pack icecream cones 7.75. The exact ones at my big chain store 9.99. 2 liters coke/pepsi dollar general 2.75, big store 3.99. (3.99!). campbells chicken noodle soup dollar general 1.35, big chain store 1.99. So you see what inflation can do to normal prices
The chaos is so enjoyable because it's genuine. Nobody can match the positive energy that genuine Scherer chaos brings to a kitchen. (Edit: as someone obsessed with quirky earrings, what are Jordan's earrings?)
The earrings look like small containers of Philadelphia cream cheese 😂
He mentioned it at the end, they're cream cheese earrings! I want them, lol.
@@LadyBeyondTheWall Ty! I have no idea how I missed it 🤦 I definitely need a pair too!
How did I also not notice those! I want them too!
Josh throwing a little bit of shade at St. Louis. Approved.😂
This series is great.Way more practical for us mortals than ...everything else, basically.Also does not rely on ingredients costing approximately all the €.Like avocado.
Josh passes muster this time. But STL is watching you Mythical Kitchen. Always watching 👀
Who is STL??
@@jasonschuler6882 Saint Louis
Josh's love advice was deep and also is it just me that Josh with that haircut looks like he would be cast to play a young Indiana Jones in a reboot.
This just has become one of my favorite mythical kitchen videos. Funny, a lot of interesting topics touched by Josh, some great knowledge as always and the comparison was a really fun experiment.
Would love to see Rhett and link as sous chef in a food battles episode!
As a St Louisan Josh's call out to our fair city seemed so believable, um yeah
The sass from Alexa was on point!
Saint Louis loves you too Josh, enjoy those pastures 🫶🏻
Did Josh finish a single thought this episode?? 🤣
Hearing josh say St. Louis is his favorite pizza style reminds me just how much I love him parasocially
Josh looks like every peter parker combined
Josh looks like my mom :)
Something funny about him talking about adding Mexican cheese to Italian Pizza while a Greek instrument plays over a salsa groove.
Josh is speaking my truth about the black pepper. I dont *care* if it ruins the supposed appeal of the Alfredo, it tastes so much better!
I think we need a Walmart VS Target battle to see who has the overall best products
The cream cheese earrings are iconic
From the Johnny Deep Willie Wonka movie "everything in this room is edible even we're edible but that's called cannibalism and it's frowned upon in most cultures." Is the best cannibalism joke.
i love to imagine jordan making dinner for kendahl and yelling down to wherever she is and saying "COME GET MYTHICAL KITCHEN"
I always appreciate this show bc I’ve had to cook w dollar tree food for a while and seeing the creativity that goes into some of these dishes is very neat. If I could go back in time, past me would be smashing it
Dollar tree vs. Dollar general
Didn't Josh have a rant about that one time? He's a dollar tree stan.
"Makin a Mythical Kitchen" seems far more likely to be a euphemism for taking a number 2 long before its ever used in reference to making dinner :)
Jordon is just too adorable anytime she's on. Josh, what to say... You are the best bro. Keep on pioneering
St Louis style pizza is the best style and provel is blended white cheddar, swiss and provolone. It's a pre-fondue cheese and tasty as hell.
Cool
I always get Classico and build upon it. use it as kind of a base and then I’ll add red pepper, more garlic, fresh onion maybe some bell pepper , whatever I feel like. But as far as jar sauces go for price point and quality Classico you can’t go wrong. Raos is good too but it’s like 3 times the price of Classico.
I use mostly Raos, but you're right, it's expensive af.
speaking of watching this show for 4 yrs this is my favorite Joshitude, just unadulterated adhd chaos, it reminds me of the early episodes peak entertainment
I really appreciate Josh's "MATH IS MATH" attitude towards cooking. Jarlic vs garlic, "Mexican" cheese vs mozzarella, etc. We stan someone who understands that most people aren't trying to cook like Michelin chefs
I'd love to see you guys do a gaming foods series.
I'm sure Trevor could start it off strong with a Runescape recipe
If you're interested, on Babish's CZcams channel there's a series called "Arcade with Alvin" where Alvin makes food from different games 😊
I think runescape is a bit before Trevor's time
@prankmonkeyxs650 He's actually a big Runescape fan, his top favorite youtubers are OSRS youtubers and on one of the Smosh quiz episodes, they called Trevor as their helpline for the Runescape question
@@prankmonkeyxs650 trev loves run escape
@@CasualVoxu have too much free time
Why is his outfit so aesthetic yet so simple
All I have to say is I absolutely love your voice, I could listen to you speak all day
The best red sauce you’ve ever eaten was likely in some old fashioned italian restaurant where they’re slinging tons of pasta and cooking this sauce all day it in a pot big enough to swim in. It’s basically an industrial process at that point. I bet that’s why good jar sauce is so good.
Why is Josh dressed like the cabinets?
Night / early morning workers…6pm to 4 am
5pm to 5am
Wait, that bit about soulmates and "the one" was actually quite touching lol. I appreciated it and I totally agree
that was a very enjoyable format/hosting style. love everyones energy. didnt even notice i had sat through 25 minutes by the time it was done. great job to everyone involved!
"Where can you get the best pizza?"
"New York!"
Cabbies know, y'all. If you're in a new city, get a cab - _not_ an Uber/Lyft, an actual cab - and ask the cabbie for the best of whatever the local specialty is (Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore, Ethiopian food in DC, etc.). They _always_ know.
I really appreciate the fact that your release schedule happens to be 7pm in Australia so I can sit and watch with my dinner
When Josh said that some days he just eats a bunch of pickles to get his veggies in I've never felt so seen.
Josh is always good for a few laughs and teaches me a lot about cooking.
I stand with Josh on black pepper for white sauces - I want to see seasoning
completely agree
White people literally know of no other seasoning beside salt and pepper smh
Josh's hairstyle makes me feel like he got his mustache back
My husband and I also call it Jarlic and it makes me feel so comfy to have Josh say it too
I love how unhinged this got. I'm laughing so much right now
I like Jordan as a taste tester because she's very knowledgeable and succinct with her explanations, without sounding like a complete snob like "I'm better than you because I detected the hint of onion the garlic was sitting next to in the store"
She's annoying as hell
Jordan is seriously awesome
Jordan has no merit and definitely comes across as a snob.
Jordan’s only qualification for being a taste tester is that she obviously will shove anything down her throat and that she’s big backed as hell
Josh really matches the cupboards in this one.
Are the cupboards full of sh*t?
Was thinking the same thing lol
had to save this for later. Came back to it and it's still crackin me up. Thank you for sharing this!
LA can have the Rams STL doesn't miss them. But our pizza still slaps & I don't care what's in provel cheese, it is delicious.
4:43 Sugar doesn't cut acidity. Cooking time and salt cuts acidity. Processed sugar itself has acidity, so putting sugar into something already acidic never helps anything. My sicilian nonna never put sugar in her sauce, she put salt. Sugary pasta sauces always gave me heartburn, even homemade ones.
Baking soda is the only quick way to cut acidity, but you have to be careful because it's easy to over do it; then you no longer taste the tomato.
Mushy pasta is one of the least pleasurable things on the planet.
Nah bro
I wasn't expecting that speech at 19:30 ... I needed it, thx Josh LOL
As a lowbudget family I love this. Thank you. More please. 😊
WHEN WILL YOU HAVE JORDAN ON LAST MEALS!!!! i just know they would have the most ballin course selection of all time
From Malaysia here. I can confirm we call cream cheese Philadelphia. Well, the people I am surrounded by does that.
i've never felt more like the editor was either given the day off or worked their caboose off and they deserve a raise than this video.
Josh looking like a reverse Charlie Nash which is cool and Jordan with her discerning palate wins again. Overall a solid episode with a nice balance of culinary knowledge, cooking prep, and comedic moments. 9/10.
who's awake now?
the brits
The woke people are awake (clue’s in the name buddy)
I'm so tired
It's not that early
Me ( coffee in hand trying not to fall asleep haha)
While Jordyn was tasting I realized the music was still on😂😂😂
"That was old chunk."
When I think Josh can't disturb me anymore, he outdoes himself.
With that green shirt and those khaki pants, Josh looks like a glowed up version of Shaggy. Or at least, if Shaggy and Fred had a love child.
I openly refer to the canned parmesan as "cellulose cheese," because people like to be judgy, but I lean in; cellulose cheese is delicious and the perfect accouterment for a variety of dishes.
JORDAN did you make earrings out of all your mini brand duplicates or just the cream cheeses? ;D
I really love this series. It's absolutely fantastic.
From now on all my dinners will be called 'Mythical Kitchen' - they are usually pretty legendary as it is 🤣 Thank you for another fun kitchen adventure!
Fettuccine Alfredo originated in Rome, it is not an American dish. Not much research has to be done to find proof of this. The sauce is just butter, parm reg and pasta water, the creaminess comes from the emulsification of the three if the technique is performed well. Josh pouring cream straight on to pasta is erasure lol.
this got me curious, so I searched it up - and you're correct, at least, by technicality. Strictly speaking, the fettuccine Alfredo featured in america has been denounced by Italians as, well, not Italian. The recipe has completely shifted in the west from the original one made by Alfredo himself, which is called "Alfredo alla Scrofa". In fact, though many Google results will tell you that it comes from Italy or Rome, they will typically also specify that the cuisine is entirely associated with America, much to my surprise.
Yes the pasture is greener in California, but you'll need to wait 12 years for a permit to build the fence by which time cows will be made illegal for the "green" to be more green.
When Josh mentions Donner not being a lovely reindeer.... Lets all remember the Donner Party!
"I'm not better than no termite." Same, Josh 😂
Dollar tree is not a grocery store stop it
Jordan is the least likable person in all of the Mythical company.
"The Donner party would've loved to have mush. All they had was PEOPLE!" 😂😂😂
I'm absolutely going to call it making a mythical kitchen when I cook, especially with my track record 😅
Sporked is the worst mythical addition. Jordan is monotone with negative charisma.
No wonder why Jordan goes by "they" since its seems like they eat for more than 1 person
You can also cook the tomatoes longer to reduce the acidity and allow its natural sweetness to come out, and then you don't have to add extra sugars.
I hate vertigo. But getting vertigo by sprinkling cheese is the funniest thing I've ever heard 😂
Why does Jordan keep showing up? She always seems to bring down the mood. Not a fan.
Josh dressed like an employee of Dollar Tree 😂
Josh's aesthetic today makes him look like Captain America's culinary cousin and I love that for him 😂 Josh doing kitchen PSAs when
i like how josh is dressed like he works at the dollar tree
