Is This Chicken?

we went to a vegan restaurant and things. got weird let's talk about that my. name's Emma fuls and I'm in Rome Italy. Good Mythical. [Music]. Morning Good Mythical. Morning today's episode is brought to. you by the redlink store go to Red. link.com. store bam you can get this. t-shirt I'm still here t-shirt me t t.

shirt kind kind of talking kind of funny. who me well I started talking funny and. then you started talking funny yeah. we're going to keep talking funny and. then morphing it okay all right guys we. got a an experience to share with you. and I'll just go ahead and say right off. the top here that for all of you vegans. watching just we love you just stop. watching now we love you so we're all. friends here this is a safe environment. for us to share all of us not just us. but you in the comments your experiences.

with whatever that may be and and if. that's vegan restaurants or something. like that then so be it okay so we were. uh we decided we don't go see a lot of. movies but we have a friend uh Joseph. who we go and watch movies with I don't. know how this happened but we just we've. been seeing a lot of movies together and. another friend Eric too but he got he. came to the restaurant late y so he he. doesn't count he doesn't count at this. point so anyway so we're like hey let's. let's let's go eat somewhere and then. we're going to go watch the new Bond. movie movie and a couple of nights ago.

and so he's like yeah there's this place. that's got this home cooking cuz we're. going to Hollywood yeah and this was his. area so we left it to Joseph to figure. out where we were going to eat and it's. his Zone he's like there's this place. down there it's like comfort food home. cooking and we're like that sounds good. but then we we meet up with him he says. you know what I'm looking at the Yelp. reviews of that other place I wanted to. go and they've really gone down really. tanken in the last few months but. there's this other place it says comfort. food home cooking kind of situation two. over 200 reviews four stars we're like.

yes I better comfort food just a few. blocks away we can get a little exercise. going there not f is guilty being. comforted with food y for it's a perfect. scenario so um we walked a few blocks we. encounter a homeless man singing beetles. yeah and he got mad at us cuz we weren't. singing he says don't y'all know the. Beetles and I was like come on don't. y'all know the Beatles I know the know. the Beatles he's like you're younger. than me I do know the Beatles but we. usually just don't start singing with.

strange people that's the only that's. the difference we never really discussed. that until now I was just thinking it. though yeah we were both thinking so we. get to the restaurant and uh we go in. there and it's I mean this place there's. not a lot of people in there but I'm. like okay that's that's cool that's cool. I mean it's kind of early we get the. menu look at the menu and I'm like man. this looks good country fried steak. fried chicken barbecue sandwiches uh I. mean I'm like this PL yeah right in the. middle of Hollywood me talk talk about. home cooking and then link speaks up.

fish tacos link says hold on there's. something beef tacos there's some. carnitas Carnitas he says there's. something written here in fine print up. here on the top of the menu and what did. it say link it said everything that we. prepare is 100%. vegan and I'm like what does that mean. vegan I don't know what that means well. I think we know what that means I know.

how could it not have meat in it. everything on the menu is like a meat. Cornerstone everything we just listed. but it was all fake it doesn't work it. it was a facade and at that moment we. had a decision to make it was like we've. been thinking about coming and getting. some comfort food all day and now we're. in an uncomfortable situation with this. comfort food because this comfort food. is fake food but we said you so the. decision was just dive in or like Run. for the exit yeah yeah but we all agre.

listen we're here we're adventurous the. reviews are high I got nothing against. vegan food you know I I'm you know I I I. like to eat meals that don't have any. meat in them it makes me feel better. about myself an adventure yeah it's an. adventure so the waiter comes up and. we're like what do you what do you. recommend and he's like well the. barbecue sandwich is great pulled pork. sandwich like how okay but it's not. there's no there's no I didn't ask him. but I was like well there's no pork in. it well it's fake pork but but it he. just carried on the pulled pork pork. sandwich is great he didn't say the non.

pork pulled pork sandwich is great. because he they bought that's the whole. point of the restaurant is you just buy. into to the fact that this is all real. in this fantasy world that we've created. and then he said the pot roast is. amazing that's my favorite he didn't say. the non-pt pot roast of course that that. would that would have made sense anyway. yep he wouldn't he didn't say the non. beef pot roast he just said the pot. roast is my favorite but everyone Raves. about the Fried Chicken people come in.

here and Order Fried Chicken 10 times in. a row that's all they come in here to. eat and so then we say yes yes and yes. we each get one of those things so I. ordered the pot roast Joseph ordered the. P pork sandwich and Link ordered the. Fried Chicken now at this moment when. we're waiting for our food is when I. think all of us have noticed a couple of. times there's a guy at the table. directly behind us well yeah he was. right behind you I thought it was you I. heard a v I heard a sound.

wasn't that what it was like it was like. it was like when you've got a cold and. you've got a lot of mucus and you keep. trying to clear your throat it's. like I thought if I looked at you cuz. the sound was coming from. you that's what it sounded like and and. I was like this is this is not pleasant. I'm eating I'm about to eat I'm not. eating and I'm eating a fake I'm eating. fake pot roast in a second you know I'm. going to need everything I got to get. through this and there's a guy behind me. it's not an.

sound I'm not he sounded like a monkey. I'm orangutan about to pounce I don't I. don't know what they sound like I could. not see the guy all I could do was hear. him and then we're waiting our food and. at first we didn't say anything and like. I think Joseph was talking like in the. middle of his sentence at one point he. stopped he was like I very distracted no. he was like he was like that guy is. killing me and cuz it was he would go. about 30 to 45 seconds and and do it. again and I was like well this is what.

this is what it's going to be this is. what this experience is going to be it's. going to be this guy. going and then non meat meat food so. then the waiter brings out the food and. it looks. absolutely looks like pot roast and. fried chicken and pork sandwich let me. tell you it looks like it and I you know. I I I had a chicken leg and a chicken. thigh and mashed potatoes and a corn. especially I mean it's easy to make it's.

easy to make pot roast cuz you got you. can throw all the vegan gravy on it and. it's not that hard to make a cuz the. sandwich is kind of high in the pork but. yours is like fried chicken just out in. the open laid bare boom fried chicken. and it looked exactly like fried chicken. I mean like this boom and of course in. the middle of in the middle of me. admiring your. chicken what what a weird.

he it's like he didn't know how much. noise he was sitting like a base. reverberation throughout the whole. restaurant I mean it was and he was. right behind me so I bite into my. chicken and I'm like. thinking this is good one and then I'm. thinking two take another. bite this is this is chicken and I I. looked at the guys was like. fellas this is chicken I remember link. looks at me he says there's no way that. this is not actually chicken and then he.

says in. fact there's a bone in it there was a. bone in my chicken and then he says hold. on a second reaches in pulls out a. wooden Dow Rod a simulated phone my. chicken leg built chicken they had built. vegan chicken around a piece of wood it. was amazing it was it was a dow rod with. like pieces of fake meat like white meat. kind of I don't know soy something or. other I was afraid to ask I never asked. mask wrapped around a dow rod in the.

shape of a. drumstick and then there was fake skin. wrapped around it which is gross almost. naughty cartilage no like baked chicken. skin and then all that was fried but you. know I mean I I thought it was gross it. was fake skin but really if you think. about it real chicken skin is gross. imitation chicken skin is not as gross. so I was kind I was like okay I'll just. eat all of this but it was totally. simulated but you liked it and I like it. it was good as far as vegan food goes it.

was it was tops now I'm over there I got. my pot roast I really wish I'd have. gotten the chicken bam and then and then. I look at the pot roast and I'm like. well it looks like pot roast and I kind. of put my Fork into one of the pieces of. meat and I can tell as it goes in that. it's meat it was kind of like a piece of. sponge take it like will the gravy taste. good and then I I eat it and I'm like. okay this is not meat I know that it's. not meat but it's got a lot of gravy on. it I'm going to do this it needed fake. bamboo bones is what but in the middle.

of trying to get that first piece. down it was it was like what was what. was he trying to do I think he had a. disorder you think he had a disorder I. think he just had a really bad cold I. don't know and so we're we're wrapping. up our meal and like I needed another. glass of water and then all of a sudden. I see the guy the grunter stand up from. behind Rett and I think he's just. walking into the restroom he walks by. our table stop STS turns looks at us and.

says can I get you guys anything else. can I get you what I've been Hawking up. this whole. time here it is and we were like do you. work here yeah he was he like yeah I was. like oh I'll take some. water but he he worked there but when he. spoke you could tell that he had a bad. cold he like had a creepy cough kind of. thing like d can I get you anything out. all this should go in our Yelp review. huh should we say the name of the place.

I don't feel like we should let's. withhold that but I will say as we wrap. this episode up that uh it it was an. okay experience but I think that the one. thing we learned is that you have to. take the the Yelp ratings for a vegan. place uh it's a different scale because. if you're not a vegan you have to knock. off like two stars because this is a. bunch of vegans rating the place yeah as. far as vegan food goes I would give it. five stars really minus the grunter. which I assume is not behind every every. dining table one star off for the. grunter Assuming he's not there every.

time one star off for the for the fact. that it's fake. food three. stars three stars we give it are we. going to turn this into like a Yelp. review show that could be an a new thing. that people will start watching no one. would watch a. blue Place bam write letters to each. other what. [Music].
