Season 2021

We went to Panda Express, PF Changs, Pei Wei, and many, many more only to find many places were clean out of General Tso's. We picked a select few, went head to head, and well... you'll just have to watch the video to see if our homemade General Tso's chicken was the true winner.

Fried chicken is a perfect food. Homemade chicken fries on the other hand... maybe ascends us to a new level. Or not? I'm not really sure but Burger King has set this work out for us and I think it's gonna be an easy one.

They have many names, crab puffs, crab rangoon, cream cheese wontons. If you've ever eaten at an American-Chinese restaurant, then you've likely had these before. They're pretty good but we can make them completely homemade, very easily, and more importantly... much, much better.

2021-02-28

And we thought they were unbeatable. This is the juiciest crispiest homemade fried chicken sandwich you may ever eat. Stacked tall with thick-cut homemade dill pickles with a secret ingredient. It's all good things homies.

If you know Uncle Roger, you know that he is a good judge on fried rice, he even judged Gordon Ramsay. Some may say that Uncle Roger's fried rice recipe is perfect. However, this is But Better and nobody is safe, not even you Uncle Roger (kisses from papa), so I know we can make it better!

2021-03-21

Maybe it really is possible to out pizza the hut.

2021-04-04

A sandwich that should have never existed? The decision is up to you... but can we top it with our own homemade sandwich?

2021-04-25

One of the most famous fast-food breakfasts in the world could be so much more... and we're going to make it just that. Homemade English muffins, perfectly cooked eggs, seared thick-cut smoked ham, cheddar, and light spicy mayo. Let's see how we do.

2021-05-16

We're going after Panda Express for round 2. Chow Mein should be way better, and I have a feeling we are going to blow Panda Express out of the water...again.

2021-05-23

The classic and fabled In N Out Burger is a special one...many opt that the animal-style fries are a favorite eating experience. Can we make them completely homemade and dare I say.... much...much better?

2021-05-30

KFC has already been defeated on but better and now they want to try to conquer Nashville hot chicken? How you going to do Nashville like that?! Papa will not allow it.

2021-06-06

We are challenging one of the most iconic burgers in the world to a showdown AND my cookbook is being announced!

2021-06-20

Is it possible to make popcorn better than the movie theaters already do? Well.... I think so, maybe... First, we'll make the greatest homemade buttered popcorn recipe as the main portion, but just to add onto that I'll show you two other special ways. By special I mean garlic bread flavored popcorn, and a perfect salted caramel corn that's so good you'll want to sneak your own popcorn into the theater.

2021-07-04

We've gone after the fast-food places, snacks, and movie theaters. Today, we're going after the furniture store....yes, the furniture store. Why does IKEA make meatballs? Have no idea, but we're making the coveted Swedish meatballs, a sentence I can't believe actually came from my mouth. All that to say, we have this in the bag.

2021-07-18

The Oreo, is one of America's favorite snack foods. But can it be remade completely homemade from start to finish?

2021-07-25

Homemade wing sauce is the most important component to the best wings of all time. It’s easy to make, but it requires the knowledge and technique to make it truly great. Today we go head to head with the coveted buffalo wild wings and their zing sauce, mango habanero wing sauce, and the parmesan garlic wing sauce.

2021-08-08

We've beaten KFC before... and we're going to do it again.... hopefully. This time with the coveted homemade chicken sandwich, with homemade buns.

2021-08-22 · 12m

Flavors like pepperoni pizza and ham and cheese are replicable... but the humble hot pocket is going to get a full remodel. Can we defeat this childhood favorite (is it even a childhood favorite?) and just absolutely slam-dunk these flavors?

2021-09-05 · 12m

Homemade chicken nuggets usually aren't very good. That's why people go to Wendy's to get the spicy nuggets, and as usual, we will be challenging that today.

2021-09-12 · 11m

The blooming onion should have just been a really good onion ring, let's be honest. Nonetheless, we are here to take the title of king blooming onion.

The Doritos locos taco can be much better, and we are gonna do it.

2021-10-03 · 12m

2021-10-17 · 12m

Not only is this the baked apple pie, but we’re bringing back the fried one, better than it ever could have been.

2021-10-31 · 11m

This has to be the easiest and one of the best homemade candy bars in the game. It'd be a whole lot cooler if you made it yourself.

2021-11-14 · 15m

The real king of burgers has arrived. Homemade Buns, perfect patties with that smokey char. This is the ultimate homemade burger.

2021-11-28 · 9m

Both the cinnamon sugar and the classic salted pretzel is in question here... And we're going to make it completely from scratch with a homemade dough in a home oven.

2021-12-26 · 10m

Can homemade churros be even better than the perfect amusement park snack? Yes, we went all the way to Disneyland for this, and it was amazing.
