I Ate Every Famous Video Game Food

There's so many video games I played years ago that somehow had food that I so desperately wanted to smell, see come to life in front of my very eyes, and more importantly, taste. I know I'm not alone in this. Things like the cake from Portal, and the mana strudel from World of Warcraft, the Pac-Man melon. So, today I'm making and tasting every famous video game food voted by you, the audience. Now, with the help of a few video game experts, we're going to find out which video game has the best food. Starting with our first dish, the famous sweet rolls from Elder Scrolls Skyrim. If you can't feast on the souls of dragons, your third place vote getter may be the next best thing. You know, if you can't do all the cool things that you can do in Skyrim in real life, well then the closest thing you can do is a sweet roll and actually make it. These are all about height and the icing. Just make sure no one steals these from you. But before I taste and rank this, two legendary gaming figures will occasionally drop in to judge the accuracy of the toughest recreations. Ninja, arguably the OG streamer, and Jake Baldino, one of the most prolific reviewers of Gamer Ranks. Oh my goodness. Oh, the break apart. What are you doing to me? What are you doing to me, man? Oh, it looks perfect. Look at that. Oh man, look at that icing. Sorry. Too weird. Dip that in a cup of coffee, bro. If I was in like a White Run tavern and one of these was just sitting there glistening on the table like that, I would take one. I'd say this is probably an A-lister. It's simple, elegant. It's not a question. I have to put it in the S tier. It's going in there. We'll see those two later. But joining me now is Chef PK, a master of recreating popular anime and gaming dishes. Our game experts gave their predictions, but we're here to taste and render the final judgment. So, as it turns out, someone did steal their sweet roll. It was me. This appears multiple times in Elder Scrolls and in Fallout, believe it or not. We were going to use the cookbook recipe until we found out that a bunch of people found that inauthentic. So, we worked really hard to get these to look as close to the game as physically possible. I think we did a pretty good job. The frosting looks great. Oh, it smells really good. Oh, it does smell delicious. Give it a rip. Cheers. That's so good. That's actually very good. It's like crumbly, but also soft and it's not dry. Yeasty. I think we can go into mass production and sell these across taverns everywhere. Do we teeter into S territory? I don't know. I think this is A tier. Yeah, my mind isn't exploding, but it is absolutely delicious. It's a strong and powerful A tier. Moving on. Next up, Minecraft cake. Might be the most famous cake in all of gaming. I don't know. I feel like the portal cake is pretty close. Might even be cooler, but whatever. This got the second most votes of all in the video game foods poll. It's also one of the hardest things to make in the game. Thankfully, we didn't have to grow wheat or milk cows for this. So, let's just get our hunger points and taste this. Minecraft coming in with a beautiful cake. Only four ingredients: wheat, egg, milk, and sugar. No leavenning agent apparently. Did you lemon this? Yes. Hey man, that's a good cake. This is just a basic vanilla cake. That's all it is. Like, this reminds me of growing up. My mom would make this. She'd make something exactly like this in a bunt pan. That's all this reminds me of. This flavor. It's good. It's a basic vanilla cake. There's not much going on in my opinion. The vanilla buttercream on top is really nice. I think it's mid. I think it deserves either a C or a B. I feel like I'm leaning towards C. For nostalgia sake, I would give this a B tier. But also, yeah, it's just a basic vanilla cake. If it's in front of you, you'll eat it and you're not going to hate it, but you're not going to fall in love with it. You know, I only fall in love with things that are A's and S's like me. On to the next. Moving on to the pizza from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Thanks to your votes, Zelda food is the only game with two food items in this video. A lot of people love Zelda. Cook it. You only need three ingredients. Tobant wheat for the dough, high in tomatoes, and hotino cheese, which supposedly makes it irresistible. Who knows? By the way, none of those things exist, so we got what was adjacent to that. But if you look at the game card, there's tomato sauce, green peppers, olives, you know, those sort of things. So, we threw that on there, too. Let's be real. Fighting Ganondorf is hard work. So, let's taste. So, in Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom specifically, this highin pizza will give you about six hearts. It's not a huge recovery, but it's also the most appetizing food I've seen out of the newer Legend of Zelda series. It's not like a mind-blowing pizza. You know, out of all the pizzas in the world that there are, this stands to me like certainly not a Chuck-E-Cheese pizza. It's not a Lindustry pizza either. To me, this is like a very average pizza. How do you feel about agreeing on a B? I was going to say mid. Ctier. Ctier. Moving on. Fortnite slurp juice. It is one of the most iconic items in one of the most famous video games in the world. If it got Peter Griffin jacked, we had to try it. Look, there's no real recipe out there. Unfortunately, all we know is that Lego Fortnite says it's made of raspberries and uh whatever the hell a slurp mushroom is. This is at least what was suggested to me, which was to combine a bunch of different things into one. Baja Blast, Mountain Dew, Blue Hawaiian Punch, Blue Kool-Aid, Blue Red Bull. For extra boost, we topped it off with more Mountain Dew. God, this is tough. Now, in a separate jar, there was some cooked down thickened blue Gatorade along with blue edible glitter for extra shimmer. This is making me go clinically insane. Whatever. We mixed it up. It looks okay. What did Jake and Ninja think? Ooh, dude. Mountain Dew Baja. What are we high sea? I haven't seen a high sea in years. It's perfect. Where's the vodka? Also, how did you guys get it all swirly like that? I think you're drinking about 100 different blue dyes. Put a gun to my head. You put this in front of me. I mean, I'm drinking this whole thing, bro. Even the jar is close to accurate. Look at the attention to detail here. I love this. I'm going to put this S tier. That one took me by surprise for the video. Man, I would fly there and drink that live. S tier, not even a question. 10 out of 10. High praise, but how does it taste? I do love the swirl. That's kind of cool. The swirl is fun. Let's just dive in. Cheers. Mother of God, that is sweet. But that is exactly what I would expect a child to enjoy. Yeah, I I would expect this to absolutely be sold on the shelf of a big grocery store where it just says Fortnite slurp juice and that's what a kid picks out. Yeah, super sweet. It's really fun. There's no way I could drink this. This feels like the essence of blue raspberry flavoring and that is all I'm picking up. The rest is just sugar. F tier. I can also go down to an F. This feels like something you would use like as an inclusion to something like syrup over pancakes. Not drinkable. I can't drink more than a sip of that. This is just sweet. It's an F. Unfortunately, even though this has S tier looks, turns out a random myriage of different blue drinks. Tastes not good. On to the next. Moving on to Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy Butterbeer. In the game, you can travel to Hogsme and drink it at Throomsticks Tavern. The game says it can be served both hot and cold. So, we're going to try both, but here's how we made it. For the hot version, we started by heating cream soda in a pot, stirring in butterscotch syrup till dissolved. Then, we poured it into a glass mug, mix it a splash of butter extract and vanilla extract. I don't love the extracts, but this is what we saw from a few recipes online. Then you just top with fresh whipped cream and serve. The cold version is essentially the same ingredients except we did not heat anything at all. Simply mixed it together in a glass mug, top with whipped cream and serve. Did you know that Universal Studios has made over $500 million selling butter beer? Imagine they're like 12 bucks a pop. We have a frozen one and we have a hot one. That is fire. Cold one's crazy. Cold one's way better. I would drink that until I'm sick. Yeah, that's actually insane. Honestly, certain simple things put together truly are just perfect. Butterscotch is one of my favorite flavors. And then you combine it into a drink with some really nice whipped cream. I'm giving it an S. S tier. It also looks really cool. The chilled one looks crazy. Did you know the average human cannot get drunk on butterbeer? And only house elves can cuz if you trace amounts of alcohol. All right, moving on to the next round. Wow, this one I know. Well, it is cake from Portal. This is like a little bit of my childhood here. Is it real? Is it not? Today it becomes real. According to the info we have, it is a Black Forest cake that's inspired by a real bakery near Valve, the game design studio in Washington that made Portal. But since we're out of the test lab, the tease is over and we finally get to eat it. I just hope that we survive. This is a scary one. But first, that's a pretty good chocolate cake. That's a very good chocolate cake. It's moist. The icing is refreshing. It's not too sweet. There's not too much of it. Has a nice texture to it with the chocolate shavings. It's nice. This is nice. I think this is an easy A. I agree. Anything that would elevate the flavor would bring it to an S. True. It's a good basic chocolate cake and it deserves an A. I wish people from Portal could have had it. Moving on from Persona 5, Leblanc Curry, which surprisingly you voted for by a wide margin over Persona cake. It's a pretty traditional western style Japanese curry, which is served at Leblanc Cafe. We found the official recipe translated on the site Wilto Makes Food. It's similar to One Piece Sanji's Curry, which I made in the cartoon food video. The key to the Lebanon curry is using all eight ingredients. Let me explain. First, some chocolate. Then, a little instant coffee, some worster sauce, yogurt, honey, beef banan. Stir to combine. Season a taste with kosher salt. And finally, stir in some unsalted butter. Coffee in this is a little weird. I'm not going to lie. I don't know that that's actually going to translate to something that's good in real life, but that's what this video is about. Hopefully, we make Sojiro proud. Holy crap. That's a banger, dude. I'm sure that some of the secret ingredients in this did leverage it. I think probably what makes this is the slow cooking. At the end of the day, you slow cook tender pieces of meat and properly season it, it's going to be good almost no matter what. There is a little bit of tartness that's adding some depth of flavor that I like. It's rich. It's anxious. It's meaty. I can taste the spices. It's fatty. It falls apart in your mouth. I mean, this is phenomenal. Easy S tier. Yeah, S tier. This is something I could eat multiple times throughout the week. After taking that last bite and just letting it linger, my mouth is still salivating. And another S tier joins the list. Now, at the end, we are going to be having an S tier showdown to determine which is truly the cream of the crop. The very best of the S tiers, but I'm more curious to see if any more items join the top rank before that. Moving on to grilled slowpoke tail curry from Pokémon Sleep made with a whole alligator tail. I thought to myself, what is similar to a slowpoke tail? What is an animal tail we can eat? And although Slowpoke might not be a reptile, the best representation felt like gator. So, the dish like Slowpoke itself has slight variations across the universe. But in Pokémon Sleep, it's just two ingredients: tail and fiery herb. That can't be right. What about the curry? What about the rice? So, first you have a whole gator tail. Going to remove the loins from the tail. Trim all of the fat off. Next, season it generously with a nice red spice rub. Then we grilled it over charcoal. Based it with a garlicky spiced compound butter. Plated a top yellow rice and drizzle with a Japanese style curry and some fresh herbs. I mean, this feels like it could be a real life spicy grilled slowpoke tail. Definitely good enough to feed Snorlax. But let's see if Jake and Ninja approve. Wa! Holy sh! Oh my gosh, it's a tail of a crocodile. I didn't even know you could do this. I didn't expect that. Can you put that on YouTube? I mean, we flavor it, we season it, we grill it over a beautiful little bed of rice, tastefully grilled, just right. I'm going to put it in the A tier. This is something that I would eat. I would eat I would eat tail. That's how it should be if you think about it. Because in the world of Pokémon, like a slowpoke tail, as sad as that is, that should be like a delicacy. And here in real life, how often do you have a alligator crocodile thing? Not often. I think you guys did this justice. The preparation, the choice, the cut of meat. I'm giving this an A. Big scores from our game experts. But how does it taste? I think it looks like something I would get at the Pokemon cafe. The story goes is that slowpokes lose their tails randomly and then they're harvested and used for dishes. Then Team Rocket started harvesting slowpokes to sell their tails on the black market. Pokémon is not that soft. I don't even want to eat this. We're going to. It's not bad. Tastes like chicken. The spices help a lot though. It's not as muddy or fishy as I normally would attribute to Gator Tail. I mean, it's heavily spiced. This is spiced, grilled, glazed with a butter sauce, and then top with curry if tast. Realistically, you're just tasting the curry, which is good. I actually like the whole dish, though. Obviously, the Japanese curry is very forward, right? It's curry, spiced, fragrant. You could taste the sweet fennel and the turmeric and the ginger and all of those sort of things working with each other. And then obviously there's the gator itself. I don't think it belongs any higher than B tier, though. Yeah, if I didn't know it was gator, I would give it a B. Because I know it's gator, I want to give it a C. But I'll give it a B just based off the fact that I'm tasting something tastes good. This is a B. It's fine, but I could pass on it. Moving on. Next up, Fallout's Nucacca. One of the most popular on our audience voted famous games list. And not just one variety, but three. Of course, we have the classic Nucacca. Then there's the Quantum Cola, which we acquired by making recipes from the quote unquote Vault Dwellers official Fallout cookbook, and not from an overturn truck. But there were also two special release sodas made by Jones Soda Company, Victory Cola, and then another version of Nucacca Quantum. The question is, which one is the best? and can take any sort of a lead here. Only one way to find out and yes, we're saving the bottle caps. Don't ask if we actually we did throw them away if I'm being honest. These two are homemade from the Fallout cookbook. And these two are like commercially approved. I will say thank you guys for voting for this one because the other option was iguana on a stick. This is a homemade one. That was pretty bad. Here's our homemade quantum. Better. That one's fun. I like that one. The acidity is really nice in that. The blue in this is crazy. This looks unnatural. Not as good as the homemade. This one has a little bit more of a blue raspberry flavor though. It doesn't have that kick though. I really like the kick in the homemade one. Our last one. Whichever one is the best will be our entry to the list. Now, it doesn't taste like anything. It's supposed to have a refreshingly patriotic flavor. What does that even mean? A taste as sweet as freedom. If that's what freedom tastes like, send it back. My favorite was the homemade quantum. We kind of nailed that. I would just drink that. It's really refreshing. I'm putting this in B tier. I'll follow that up cuz I wanted to put it in Btier, but I I was afraid. Btier, especially because the Nucacola company is not a good company. Moving on. What I've been waiting to taste for a very long time. World of Warcraft's Conjured Mana Strudel. You know, a lot of people don't know this. I don't know if I've ever even said this on the channel or even in public. A much younger me played this game way more often than I'd like to admit. And I definitely would have crushed 20 mana strudel. Possibly in real life if we're thinking about Big Jay here. Now I get to eat it finally. It's just too bad that I don't play WoW anymore, but I did play for many years. So, shout out to that. We got the official cookbook to make sure we nailed this dish. We made it exactly to spec. Now, let's taste. This is the one that the mages would summon for you. And as a healer, I would always yell at them because it's like, "Give me the free food." This looks primo. The only reason why I'm pushing it away is so I don't swallow it whole. Everything about this is great. From the crisp crunch on the outside to the sort of like oohy gushy almost like Queen Aman croissant interior. It's sweet but it's not too sweet and there's a little bit of saltiness in the dough. I mean this is an S. Yeah, this is S tier. Of all the video game food I think I've had. This is one I would probably make regularly. Yeah, I would make this. I feel like I just relive my childhood. I mean you play tank, I play healer. We can go start a group. I can't get back into that. It's too much. One of us. No, we have another big S tier joining me S tier list, but that means we have something even bigger. We're going to have an S tier showdown coming up very soon. But first, moving on to the rest. Next up, League of Legends with porro snacks. Pearls may look cute, but if you don't feed them, they have a sinister response you might not expect. So, to keep them happy, you feed them snacks. Essentially, doggy biscuits made of wild hen and herbs. So, we piped that mixture into spirals, seared them until crisp, and cooked through. Then, many people think of poro snacks as sweet Danish-like treats, but that's only in the card game, not the main fighting video game. So, turn on all random, all mid mode, and I guess taste at your own risk. Smells great. You know what that kind of reminds me of? A little bit like kefta. That's a great comparison. You know, like almost like if you mix shawarma and kefta, the flavors are kind of reminiscent. Like it's like garlicky. There are spices in there. It's meaty. It's like look at the mayard. This would be fire on a sandwich. I would eat this all day. Fire. At the end of the day, this is just a meat patty. And notice how the first thing we said was, "Oh, if this was on a sandwich, but it's not." I feel like B is fair and also generous. I'm good with that. B tier. Moving on. Kirby's Super Spicy Curry, which first appears in Kirby's Dreamland on Game Boy in 1992. I wasn't even born then, but you all called for it in the Super Smash Brothers series. Since there's no actual recipe, which honestly there were not a lot for a lot of these things, and it is on fire in the game. We made fall curry, the hottest curry on Earth. It's loaded with six whole ghost peppers, three Carolina Reapers, and four ty red chilies. It's a lot of Scoville in one dish. Hot enough to make you spit flames from at least one hole in your body. I know a few of you wanted me to inhale this in one bite, but I'm not going to do that. I am going to taste it, though. This might be a game almost everybody has played at least once, most likely at a party. Super Smash Bros. The curry that they eat in the game, specifically Kirby, makes Kirby spit fire. So, we're like, what's the hottest curry that exists? And unfortunately, it is fall curry. It does look delicious. Little rice, little meat. Here we go. Cheers. Immediately. Oh my god. I love curry and I love Kirby. I don't taste anything besides heat. I can't take more than a few bites. Yeah, I'm going to stop. That's That's really spicy. I'm not a huge spice fan. I love spicy. This is too goddamn much. This is a lot. Despite the fact that it's so spicy, there is flavor in it. So, I think I am willing to give it maybe a C or a D. And I'll let you decide which that is. As is D tier. My tongue hurt. Moving on. Kingdom Heart 2 with sea salt ice cream popsicles. Apparently inspired by a real item at Tokyo Disney Sea. We made our own by adding sea salt and food coloring to our ice cream base and piping it into popsicle trays, making sure to give them a little extra sprinkle of sea salt at the end. You guys kind of got deep when voting. You were telling us things like the salty sweet flavor is a metaphor for life. Now, while this is a game about Disney characters and what looks like a boy band, I'm kind of into that metaphor. It's beautiful. But does it taste beautiful? It's a little soft cuz the freezer couldn't get cold enough. Cool, though. Dude, that's good. Oh, I'm a fan of that. It's like salty, sweet, kind of everything that I want in an ice cream. What flavor is that? It's vanilla salt. A little bit of extra salt on top. Yeah, that's fire. Oh, that's so good. I really like this one. I love a good salty sweet. I think it contrasts really well. When I think of salt, I think like caramel and salt. I think like something spicy, sweet like mango and salt. There's not that many just straight vanilla and salt and it goes splendid. I'm a huge fan of this one. I'm going to give it an A because it's not my first pick, but if it was given to me, I would be happy. Absolutely. If this had the caramel ribbon, S tier as it is, A tier for sure. A tier. Moving on. Next up, a big one. Cup of noodles from Final Fantasy 15. God, how many of these do they have? Not one, but all three from the perfect cup side quest to find the best toppings. A steak top version from The Behemoth, a shrimp top version from Carlos, and an egg top version to represent a glimmering zoo egg. This may be the best in-game advertisement I have ever seen. Now, let's taste test. If you haven't played Final Fantasy 15, a large majority of the game is cooking, and the food looks amazing. They probably put like 20% or 30% of the budget in those images. So, these look spot off. I thought I was going to rate this higher. I'm now realizing I don't really like Cup of Noodles that much. I understand the importance of Cupa Noodle. People survived off this. That said, I'm going to have to give it I feel a C tier. Ooh, I say it's mid. I I give it I'll give it a C tier. Remember, this is a competition about finding the best. We have a lot of things to taste here and there's a lot coming. So, I think this deserves the spot it got. Moving on. Next up from Red Dead Redemption 2, Pearson's Stew. We remember this one. Arthur just came back from hunting and brought us elk and deer. Unfortunately, no bear out in the plains of Austin today. But we start by cutting our meat with a hunting knife, of course. Season the taste with salt and pepper and sear in a cast iron pot. Once brown, remove the meat from the pot. Add some diced onions. Season with salt to cook. Add in tomato paste. Caramelize for a few minutes. Stir in the beeftock. Bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer. Then you're going to add potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, followed by your meat. Cover and cook until tender. Serve in a metal bowl and enjoy. As Pearson would say, nothing like good honest labor. Back to work. We have elk and venison in here. It does look very nice. Oh boy, it smells gamey. That is very gamey. Upon the first bite, it's like, oh, this tastes good. It tastes like what you would expect from a stew, but then there's like that deep grassy almost ironike gameiness that is definitely gnawing away at a positive experience. This is very much survival food. You're going to make this and you're making a lot of it. It's going to hold up really well. I don't actually know if I want another bite. We could have made it with beef, but we wanted to make it lower accurate, right? So, we used wild game. And it is gamey. I don't know. I just I don't love it. I think a C teacher solid. Moving on. Next up, another Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with hearty simmerred durian. Ah, durian. It is a fruit that's known for a very strong and pungent scent, to say the least. It's not one of my personal favorites if I'm being flatout honest with you. But, we're going to do this right. The game has grilled meats, mushroom skewers, monster cake, but you all voted for this. Thanks, I guess. I don't know. I don't know why you did this to me, but hey, Breath of the Wild. So, you cook durian properly and you'll get breath of the well, something else. We blended the durian into the broth of this fruit stew. I get it. This is the fastest and easiest way to get extra hearts. But what did Chicken Ninja think of this recreation? It looks too nice while looking delicious and something I would order at a Michelin star restaurant. It doesn't look like it was cooked in a pot in the woods in Hyrule. You know, in terms of it just giving me the video game vibes, I' i'd put it more on like the C tier. I can see myself eating this at a fivestar restaurant. Man, I'm going to give this an A. I feel like this would just absolutely start off the meal with a very light and delicious way. Surprising to hear that they would see this at a restaurant. How does it actually stack up? This is way more stinky than I thought it was going to be. I've actually never had it. I've had it around me and whenever I smell it, I'm like, I'm noting eating that. It is very ripe and not in a lot of good ways. It has spikes on it for a reason. It's meant as a weapon. We just got to do this. It's not bad. It's not that bad, right? It's just like a fruity flavor and then you're you're expelling like BO and gasoline out your nose. F F tier. Would you eat more bites of it? I would not have another bite. I will then agree with F tier cuz I would not have another bite of that. It's also the texture of baby food and it's not my thing. I don't know what they were thinking in Breath of the Wild. It wasn't that bad, but I literally never want to eat that again. I know people love it and I respect if you do love it. I just don't. Moving on. Next up from Overcooked 2, sushi. Basic sushi to be clear. This is the only cooking game you gave enough votes to make it to the top 25. Shout out to Cooking Mama and Dave the Diver. But while sushi making may seem zen, it's not an overcooked. You know, it's kind of like working the line, working in a restaurant, chopping, rolling, plating in controlled chaos. You know, if you think about it, like maybe design your kitchen well so that doesn't happen. The question I have is, will this be enough to get us three stars and make the onion king dance? I implore you, if you play this, do not be on the same team with your significant other or you may or may not have problems. It's a basic sushi roll. It's not too crazy. I'm not hating it. I'm not like in love. Yeah, I think take it or leave it. I don't even need to taste the salmon to know what this is going to be. I'm going to put it at a B. It's not as impressive as some of the other things we've had. So, B tier. B tier. Moving on. From Halo Universe. You wouldn't think there's food in here, but there's rations aka MREs or meals ready to eat. You know, you crashed your Pelican, you need a bite. Inside the pouch is a single meal of pre-cooked food that has been vacuum sealed so it doesn't spoil. Obviously inspired from real military culinary, I suppose. So we have real MREs here and we're going to make them and taste them. My choice of MRE for today will be the cheese tortillini and tomato sauce. I'm going to go for the beef stew because the other ones sound like I may or may not vomit. Oh, what is going on in here? This looks like a lunchable. Comes with a spoon. The thing is with MREs though is they have to be super high calorie. You're out there fighting the flood. This is worse than IKEA. Look at this. Look, look, look. It literally says to perch this up on a rock or something. I you not. Rock or something. This is technology, baby. We'll be back in 10 to 15 minutes. All right, we're removing from our rock or something. It is hot, which is cool. But the bottom part of mine is hot and the top is cold. Yeah, mine's a little cold up top, too. Oh, look, look, look. You just You could eat it right out of the thing, right? Oh. Oh. Honestly, not as bad as I thought it would be. Mine is not good. I hate to say it cuz I know people are surviving off of this. Like the potatoes actually taste like the beef and the beef tastes like the potatoes. Like it's the same texture. Yours is not half bad. A step below Chef Boyardd. Do you want to vote on this one then instead of that one? Cuz that's obviously an F. This is F tier. I think this deserves a D. If I had to eat this, I honestly wouldn't be like terribly bummed. It obviously needs salt. The pasta is terribly overcooked. But honestly, for an M like this prepackaged thing, I mean it is a tortillini. It's stuffed with something. It's got a tomatoey flavor. You can make it hot anywhere you want. Like that's actually not bad. That is a D tier. Moving on. Sims. This game is a personal favorite of my wife, but we are doing the Sims grilled cheese. This may be a secret aspiration in the game, but don't worry, you're safe here. I mean, it's a grilled cheese, guys. We're not going to over complicate this. All right, you can eat and serve and make as many grilled cheeses as you want. Just don't burn them. Butter, America cheese, melted. It's great. So, in the Sims, your goal as an aspiration is eat 200 grilled cheeses in the lifetime of your character. Easy. I've eaten thousand. Going to eat 200 grilled cheese in a video game I feel like would have me questioning what I'm doing with my life. That's fair. Good grilled cheese. It's the typical grilled cheese you would expect. American cheese, white bread, toasted with butter. It's exactly what I think it's going to be. I think they're great. It is worthy of a strong A. I agree 100%. I'd eat that whole plate, but my aspiration has already been accomplished, so I don't need any more of those. Moving on. Next up, Delicious Adeptus Temptation from Genchin Impact. This might be the craziest recipe in the entire video. The game calls it a rare and exquisite mix of both land and sea, combining countless and delicious delicacies. What the hell does that mean? By countless, they weren't kidding. The game calls for crab, shrimp, ham, mushrooms. But the image shows a lot more happening. We follow the YouTuber Chef Mar whose video on this is honestly pretty incredible. Cabbage, crab, matake mushroom, jinseng, Chinese gininoa ham, pork belly, shrimp, crab meat, abalone, scallop, quail eggs. Covered all with a broth made of duck, pork, and chicken. Seasoned taste with Shiao singing wine and rock sugar. Covered then tightly wrapped in aluminum foil. And this is the part that blows my mind. Place in a steamer basket and cook for 3 to 4 hours. What? Why? Anyway, when it's done, garnish with a few leaves of parsley. And there you have it. You know, this could go many directions, but there's only one way to find out. Let's taste. This next dish is based on a real life dish called Buddhist Temptation. And it is also very smelly. Smells like a fish tank. I mean, it looks really pretty. Smelly. Broth is good. Nice and salty. It doesn't taste like seafood at all. And it's not overpowering in one way or the other. That's really nice. I'm going to try some of the ham, too. I thought this was going to be completely overcooked. Everything is like soft and nice. This is honestly pretty great. The shrimp is a little overcooked and dry, but the rest of it really good. I want nothing to do with that quail egg. Honestly, this is really good. I'm going to give this I think a I was going to say it's not quite S tier. The ham is tender. The pork belly is tender. The flavor is, I would argue, possibly perfect. Yeah, strong A tier. Moving on from the original Pac-Man, the melon. The most high value fruit Pac-Man can get. So, we went with the most high-V value melon that we could find. A $150 premium Japanese musk melon imported from Japan. It is the finest melon in the world, or at least considered to be. They get more care than honestly the average person. Farmers handpollinate the flowers with brushes. They even massage the exterior of the melons to promote even sweetness and a beautiful appearance. I'd say this makes a 1,000 point melon at least. So, let's taste. Everybody talks about the cherries. The highest value you can get is the melon. So, we have the one and only crown melon. This is the most expensive treated better than humans melon in human existence. They literally put this on like a red velvet pillow. Oh man, I just flung juice all over the table. Worth it. 100% worth it. We were talking about how we've never had the really expensive fruit before and we didn't think it would be an experience. This is great. Honestly, this is the most flavorful melon I've ever had. It's almost like candy level sweet, but it's balanced. It's super juicy. This is the juiciest piece of fruit I've ever had in my life. This has to be way up there on the tier list. This with taheen, I would probably take my pants off if I'm being flat out. I feel crazy saying this for a piece of fruit. I feel like this deserves an S. That's S tier for me. This is the best melon I've ever had. What do you want me to say? That's an S. Moving on. Moving on to Spicy Eel from Stardew Valley. For a game where food is so big, these 8-bit images are not really doing it. I honestly thought seafoam pudding or pink cake would win, but you all voted for the spicy eel, which actually only calls for two ingredients, eel and hot pepper, which wow, that's what does that mean? Hot pepper what? So, we took inspiration from Allison's Wonderland recipes and glazed our grilled eel with a spicy goch jang sauce so we can earn plenty of speed and luck, but also so it tasted good because that's really what is actually going to happen. We'll need both to get through every dish in this video. Now, only 79 more recipes to become a true gourmet chef. That's a That's a joke. We are actually almost done. Stardew Valley is one of the bestselling games of all time. Fun fact, here we have the spicy eel with go junk sauce. One of our most highest voted on the entire list. So, let's give it a rip. This is another situation. Uhhuh. Where if it was with rice, I want it on rice. Yeah. But if you've never had unagi or eel, it's almost like a perfect fish in a way, right? Like it's super tender. It's not fishy at all. Fatty in a nice moisturizing way. Melts in your mouth is the best way to put this. Flaminana fish. And then the spicy sweet sauce. Yeah, the gojong is perfect on it, but again on its own. B tier. Strong be would eat again. Moving on. Next up, Monster Hunter Chef's Choice Platter. This got far and wide the most votes. And I get it. If you're about to fight some monsters, wouldn't you want to bulk up? Wouldn't you want to get them calories in your body, brother? The menu is chef's choice. But since Meowscular couldn't be here to make those decisions, we recreated one of his masterpieces, which is this. A whole ham sliced. A stew with lobster tail. A big hunk of cheese. Who knows what kind. Three massive grilled skewers stuck into a pineapple. I don't know why that is what was done. But shrimp, sausage, pana, a massive pan of paella topped with prawns, and of course a flag and a whatever we can eat, we bring on the airship. But before we dig in, what do Jake and Ninja think? Oh my goodness. What a replica, though. Wow. Damn. I mean, this is a feast and a half. You got the big old bowl of rice with the muscles on top. Like you really went the extra mile with this one, but it was the skewers. That's what I was looking to see. I do like lobster. I'm not a shrimp guy, though. So, unfortunately, this dish isn't for me. Looking at this, it looks delicious, but because of all the shrimp, I have to give it a B. Look, even though Josh didn't dress up as a cat and do the big reveal, would love to see that. I still definitely give this an S. Nailed it. A bit divisive, but let's see what we think. This is nuts. I guess we just dig in. We're just eating. This is that Monster Hunter experience. Oh yeah, that's a nice sweet shrimp. I like the char on it, too. Mhm. The ham is super salty, but I don't mind it. As long as you get a little rice. I'm pretty happy with this. I'm kind of vibing with this. This is just something I would just put in front of a table with a bunch of friends and just go to town on. Honestly, for the amount of food that you get for this dish, this is pretty high up here. This is a straight beer. This is straight beer. I'm not drinking that right now. And it's warm. Is this really an S tier meal? Everything on here fun to eat, exciting, having a good time, but really it's just meat, meat, and more meat with a couple of things, but it's just kind of random. It's not exactly that cohesive. If a restaurant handed this to you, most people would be like, "This is good, but why is there a block of cheese?" But why is there a random pineapple that's not really even being eaten? If I'm looking at the reality of the culinary of this, I don't think it's an S tier cuz there were other things in this that were S tiers that were incredible on their own, and I wasn't thinking of a damn thing. In coolness, it's an S tier. To actually sit down and eat, it's an A. A tier is good. But that being said, this is not the end. We have something special for you. You see, we have four S tiers, and that's a problem for me. We want a number one. And the only way to have that is with the one and only S tier showdown to find our final S tier god. Let's find it. Wow. The final countdown has arrived. What is in front of me makes me feel sad because I don't want to pick a winner. They're all really good. Why did we do this to ourselves? We actually have to pick a favorite. Let's do this. We're going to go down the line one by one by one by one and we're going to rate each one out of 10. Up first, butterbeer. Now, remember, these are all good. In the world of S tier, a one is like teetering on the verge. It's basically almost an A. A 10 is on the highest end of S. 3 2 1. Wow. Unanimous. We're in the right headsp space. This one is hard cuz this is tied to nostalgia. Wow. So good. It's also so balanced. I wonder if we'll get the same one again. Oh no. 3 2 1. Yo, two double. Yellow. Let's go. Dude, that's how I know that these are good. We are on the right path here. Okay, these last two are very hard though. I'm going straight in. H, you know, after tasting that, I know the sweetness is actually lost because those were a little bit sweeter, if that makes sense. If I were to choose between these three, which ones am I going back to first? Is it going to be unanimous again? 3 2 1. Oh, okay. Close enough. Close enough. We got one more. I'll be honest with you. I do have a bias towards this because I played World of Warcraft for years. I'm not voting for it because I wanted to win. This is truly how I feel about the taste of it. So, this is going to need a 14 or higher to win. Now, I'm going to eat this properly. All right. So, I think you get a little bit of meat, a little bit of rice, and then just go in. I have my answer. Yeah. Do you guys think it's unanimous? I have a feeling we're going to be pretty close. Let's just do it. 3 2 1 Yes, we have a winner. It is damn good. I might even round mine up to a nine, honestly. It's just balanced. It's nice. It's spicy. Like, the rice is good. Like, everything about this is just really good. LeBlanc Curry, our ultimate winner.
