If everything has gone according to plan,

0:02

you are listening to this episode of Recipe Club on

0:05

Black Friday, and while I greatly

0:07

appreciate you listening to this, I would also

0:09

like to direct your attention to Amazon

0:12

Prime, where my friend,

0:14

my co-host, my brother, David Chang,

0:17

will be broadcasting

0:20

live from the first ever Black

0:22

Friday football game.

0:24

You're gonna be out there. He's

0:26

gonna be cookin', he's gonna be tailgating. I'm

0:29

gonna break the wedge on the field. I'm

0:32

gonna pull a water boy. He is

0:35

going to be starting a new tradition. Listen,

0:37

I may be the starting quarterback for the New

0:39

York Jets by the time Black Friday rolls

0:41

around. Listen, there's

0:44

only one person that's better, little

0:46

bit better than Logan Sargent in F1, and

0:49

that's Zach Wilson, so I have a shot.

0:52

Dave, so you have to watch for the opportunity

0:54

to possibly see Dave step in as quarterback,

0:56

but please. I'll

0:58

be cooking. I'll be hanging out with

1:00

the team, Carissa, Ryan Fitzpatrick,

1:03

Richard Sherman, Whitworth, and

1:06

Tony Gonzalez. We are, I could not be prouder

1:08

of you. I'm so excited for this to happen. We

1:11

are so grateful for this opportunity, and please,

1:13

watch

1:13

this, talk about it. And you will also

1:16

ask yourself, why are you sitting down with the

1:18

entire broadcaster? What

1:20

do you know about football that I don't

1:22

know? Why are you talking?

1:26

All or none of these questions will be answered, so watch

1:28

that today, first ever Black Friday football

1:31

game, You can

1:33

buy all that stuff at a grocery store named Whole Foods.

1:35

Little store. If you want to cook along with Dave,

1:37

get your leftovers ready, get that loaf of bread

1:40

ready. He's going to be doing something pretty special. I'm freaking out about

1:42

this, in a negative way, because it's

1:44

stressful. All right,

1:46

let's get into the show.

1:56

Welcome.

1:59

Welcome to the season finale

2:02

of Recipe Club. Season 3,

2:05

this is the show where you, the listener,

2:07

can send in your beloved family

2:10

recipes so that we, the Recipe

2:12

Club, can

2:13

cook them,

2:15

talk about them, torture them, turn them

2:17

into Frankenstein versions of themselves, and

2:19

laugh the whole time. My

2:21

name is Chris Ying. I host the show with Dave

2:24

Chang here. Hello. And

2:26

we are joined. We

2:28

are, we're doing a, we got

2:30

a special episode here. If this is,

2:33

if this is your, if this is your first

2:35

ever episode of Recipe

2:37

Club, it will be, together

2:39

we can do this. It will be,

2:44

it will be a fun episode, but it will make exactly

2:47

zero sense to you because like I said, this is the

2:49

season finale. We have the entire

2:51

Recipe Club here, not here.

2:54

We've got Rachel Kong here in the studio with us. Her

2:56

hands are so cold. She's cold blooded.

2:58

I have very cold hands. It's

3:00

a health condition, Dave. For

3:04

those not watching

3:06

the video, Dave just did a real

3:09

three person handhold celebration of

3:12

Recipe Club and discovered that. Unity! Do

3:14

it ITY! Discovered that Rachel

3:16

Kong, who's here in the studio with us, has circulation

3:19

issues. I sure do. Not in the studio

3:21

and for joining us remotely

3:24

are Brian Ford, Priya Krishna and John

3:26

DeBarry. How are your circulation

3:29

issues, if any? Horrible.

3:31

I have horrible circulation and

3:34

stuff that's like boiling hot all the time. Yeah.

3:37

Solidarity without holding hands because your hands are too cold.

3:39

I bet you John DeBarry has good circulation. I

3:42

think so. Yeah. I have four.

3:44

I have weird issues where I sleep on my forearms and

3:46

then my arms fall asleep at night and I hit myself

3:49

asleep and I go, you sleep on your forearms? I

3:51

sleep face down. Like a sphinx?

3:55

Like a sphinx. And then my arms

3:57

fall asleep and then I roll over and then they

3:59

hit me.

3:59

in the face and I'm like what fell on me? When you're sleeping on

4:02

your back or wait on your back? I

4:04

face down. He comes up, oh. And

4:06

I say, I don't understand. I think he's doing like a, you're

4:08

sleeping in face. Face down in the pillow. Are

4:11

you holding the pillow in your arms? No, the pillow's

4:13

like up here.

4:16

Pictures are, pictures didn't happen I guess.

4:18

Yeah. I'll reenact

4:20

it for you.

4:23

This episode is brought to you by Amazon. I

4:25

love the holidays. I'll never forget when I was a

4:27

kid, my dad and his brothers and sisters,

4:29

they'd all get together, they'd open gifts and they would

4:31

just make fun of each other and crack jokes and it was

4:33

the best. And I was like, someday I'm gonna be funny enough

4:36

to crack some of those jokes. And guess what?

4:38

The day happened and suddenly I was there

4:40

cracking the jokes. The great thing about Amazon

4:42

is that with so much choice and fast delivery, it's

4:45

easy to make new memories of your own that aren't

4:47

just tied to passing gifts around. This

4:50

holiday, however you share joy,

4:53

make it happen with Amazon. Shop gifts at

4:55

Amazon today. Every sip is a win when

4:57

you drink starry lemon lime soda. It's

5:00

got a refreshingly great taste with a crisp

5:02

burst of lemon lime flavor. I

5:04

like to drink starry lemon lime soda on

5:07

those cheat days for being soda. Usually when

5:09

you get older, sometimes you just like, you're just

5:11

like, I'm drinking water, that's it. But

5:13

I love soda, I can't do that. So when

5:15

I have a soda, it's meaningful, it's a moment.

5:18

It's like, oh, big Celtics halftime. I'm

5:20

gonna take a break. I'm gonna get myself

5:22

a starry lemon lime soda.

5:24

It's gonna be great.

5:27

I'm gonna have a nice, I

5:29

like to put ice cubes and make it nice and cold. Starry

5:32

hits different. I'm telling you, find

5:34

it in stores around mine today.

5:36

So this is the

5:38

finale. We've been

5:40

building toward this all season long. Some

5:43

of you out there may have forgotten that this

5:45

is a competition after all. I

5:48

know that nobody in this club

5:51

has forgotten that it's a competition. Because

5:53

like Dave likes to say, everything

5:55

in life is a competition. Why wouldn't this be a competition?

5:57

If you're not winning, you're losing.

5:59

So we've got a lot. You don't call me that? Priya

6:03

Krishna's mom Of

6:07

course she did of course she did. My favorite

6:09

person in the world. Priya Krishna's mom so

6:13

This is going to be the episode where we review

6:15

everything that happened this season We're gonna look

6:17

back on the season that was We've got a lot

6:20

of awards to hand out for those of you who participated

6:22

in the voting which happened on Discord

6:25

and I think we ended up opening up to the broader

6:27

recipe club public your voices will be heard today

6:30

Because I have in front of me.

6:32

Did we by the way do we do anything with major demo gold?

6:36

It's it's currently being

6:39

exchanged on coinbase for point zero zero zero

6:42

zero zero zero zero one set no It's not

6:45

gonna be like a doggy coin Is

6:50

all is all an FTX Yeah,

6:53

so major demo gold which you earned

6:55

for playing along on recipe club this season will

6:58

become an extremely Unvaluable

7:01

better that you don't get it because it's already

7:04

worthless But

7:08

if you go to the recipe club subreddit you can find

7:10

out how to mine your own recipe The major

7:12

demo goal. No, none of this is true. I

7:15

don't know hold on to that major demo goal Who knows what's gonna

7:17

happen that hold on to it? You know,

7:19

hold on hold on hold on tight You know, we'll cover

7:21

something to do with it

7:23

But we will also review we're gonna review some of the

7:25

things that you all cooked this season We they did

7:27

not go unnoticed even though they went unresponded

7:30

to I've got in my in my little

7:32

pause here a bunch of awards to hand out

7:35

and we've got the season long standing so for

7:37

those who don't know I actually think only

7:40

Priya and John and I know this

7:42

We did not reveal the results

7:44

of the maple syrup episode. Oh, yeah

7:47

Nobody knows the actual champion

7:50

of this season is Cory

7:52

Victoria and Gabby made the decision

7:56

Put the results into a lockbox and

7:58

I have no idea who won. I also

7:59

have for that winner moonlight if

8:03

you mean first la la la la la la la la la

8:05

la la la here

8:11

yeah we know it's either John or Priya but who's

8:13

the la la land we have to announce you I'll just have to announce

8:34

you go right

8:36

exactly we're

8:39

9:56

Oh

10:02

last time, the only person to land

10:04

on healthy on this wheel was Brian

10:06

Ford, who got the Keto or

10:09

the South Beast restriction. The

10:11

last time, the last statistic I have here is

10:13

the last time the lights on our wheel were functional

10:15

was episode six of the season. There

10:18

were lights? This thing used to light

10:20

up, but it hasn't worked for 200 days or so now.

10:24

There's like crazy lights throughout it.

11:33

12:00

Picker. Picker is a weird word.

12:02

Recipe Selector. This award

12:04

goes to the Wedgie who chose

12:07

the best recipes of the season. I'll go through these really

12:09

quick. John, you chose sage

12:11

stuffing, moja bat, kashar bat,

12:13

Lee's pork belly, Jayak Orzo, and Gobi

12:35

keema mutter. Who do you think shows the

12:37

best recipes of the season?

12:39

I think it was

12:40

the literary doyen herself,

12:44

Rachel Cone. Well,

12:46

let's see what the audience said because if

12:49

you don't vote, you can't complain.

12:52

The award for best overall recipe

12:54

picker goes to Rachel Cone!

13:01

Rachel, what was your favorite recipe of

13:03

the season that you picked?

13:05

Oh my god. Well,

13:08

maybe the lemon dartie ice cream party.

13:10

I agree. Yeah, that was fun. That

13:12

was fun. That was fun. Yeah. Who do you think was the worst

13:14

one?

13:15

Interesting. I'm gonna go with JDB.

13:18

Yeah. I knew it. Straight out.

13:20

No question. I think couldn't help but choose the worst

13:23

recipes every week. JDB.

13:26

I like to explore the deranged and... JDB.

13:28

I mean, no offense to any of these recipes,

13:31

but you sealed your fate when you

13:33

picked that cherry coke salad, man. That was a wild

13:35

one. That was a wild pick. I feel like

13:38

the sharp bot kind of

13:40

maybe compensated for it. Yeah. So what was

13:43

everybody's favorite recipe that they did select this season?

13:46

That was your Sean with the watermelon

13:48

drink? Yeah, absolutely.

13:50

It was so good.

13:51

Priya, Stuffy's pork belly

13:53

or the cauliflower?

13:57

You know, for me it might be the flavored

13:59

vodka. the pudding

14:00

shots recipe. Oh that's

14:02

not on the pudding shot. It was such a surprise. Yeah that

14:05

was a fun one. You guys did a good job with that.

14:08

Brian what was your favorite?

14:12

I like the trash here. Oh my goodness.

14:15

And I knew that reaction. I thought it was

14:17

great. It was delicious. I

14:26

loved

14:29

it. Was that the one where we were with

14:31

Brian on what he was doing and then he lost us completely?

14:34

And

14:36

then I put yeah well

14:38

that happens every single time I'm with you too.

14:40

You guys pretend to you pretend to admire

14:43

my work and then you just like destroy me. It's

14:45

not that's how you may look at it. I

14:47

look at it as constructive criticism. It's

14:51

about forging you in this crucible

14:53

of deliciousness. And we call

14:56

recipe club. Okay the next award

14:58

is for the best ingredient

15:01

discovery of

15:05

the season. This doesn't go to a wedgie. This goes to an award

15:08

and the nominees this season were powdered

15:10

cream cheese which we had never worked with before.

15:16

The rue off the syrup from the watermelon

15:18

episode. Canned crab

15:20

that was a discovery and Canadian iceberg

15:23

water that John DeBarry managed to charge

15:26

back to the Spotify budget

15:28

at a price of well how much did that cost again?

15:30

It was like $22.93 a bottle maybe. Unbelievable man. Unbelievable.

15:37

The next article by a journalist talking

15:39

about the financial

15:42

universe of the podcast industry. They're

15:44

going to reference recipe

15:46

clubs. I hope so. Culinary expenditures

15:49

at the side of the apocalypse.

15:52

It's just like a really colligulant world here we're

15:54

in just access. All right Dave what's the winner?

15:57

Well the award for the best ingredient discovery.

15:59

this season goes to

16:02

Dave Chang's canned crab. That

16:05

was a discovery, talk about that. I'm just liking

16:07

that I can actually call my, name myself in

16:09

third person without looking like a total cat cat. More

16:11

than normal. Usually

16:14

they don't give me, they usually don't have the presenter give

16:17

himself an award, but uh... Dave

16:19

Chang's canned crab. When

16:22

I made this dish... The crab cakes. The crab

16:24

cakes, I was surprised because it was all

16:26

shelf stable

16:27

and it

16:28

was really, it was really delicious. I

16:31

think you could have charged exactly what I made with

16:33

the chips and

16:36

the canned crab and I could have charged

16:38

like 78 bucks at an Upper

16:40

East Side restaurant. I'm not

16:42

serious. If I put a frisee salad, a

16:44

couple slivers of like, you know, cherry

16:47

tomatoes. Right. And a lemon

16:49

vinaigrette. House remoulade. Oh.

16:53

With some capers. Yep. And then

16:56

I served it with some lemon wedges that are tied

16:58

up in

16:58

cheesecloth. Like, that's

17:01

easily 78 dollars for sure. I'm

17:07

gonna take a quick break from the the wedgie

17:09

awards here to recognize a few people because

17:11

17:13

I don't know if this counts but

18:59

looking at Priya's face reminded me of the disgustingness

19:01

that she did when she picked out clam

19:03

shells out of the garbage that was more appalling

19:07

than shocking they were not from

19:10

the garbage they were from the Krabby Shaq

19:12

I mean

19:16

Jason's

19:19

refuse she was like you know method

19:22

acting for a future role

19:24

as someone that just

19:26

living on the street it's not like a post-apocalyptic

19:29

free oh she's

19:31

going on every door of a seafood shop JD

19:40

be Brian you guys there anything that was surprisingly

19:43

delicious or surprisingly not delicious this season

19:46

I mean the cherry coke salad come on like when I flipped

19:48

it over and the sound of the maid that's

19:50

a right man was like it haunts

19:54

me

19:55

still talks

19:57

about how vile that looks well

19:59

you

19:59

You had the restriction to try to make a jell-o-thon 20

20:02

minutes. Oh gosh. Yeah,

20:04

I still have frozen cranberries in my freezer

20:06

and it's a reminder every time I get some ice for a drink

20:08

of that horrific recipe. The

20:13

winner of the biggest shocker

20:15

of the season was...

20:20

What do you guys think it is?

20:22

I think it's going to

20:24

be... It's

20:27

a recipe that was

20:29

already mentioned so far in this podcast. I

20:31

think it's going to be the trashy

20:35

eggplant thing.

20:36

Because whoever gets the right actually wins the award. Okay,

20:38

who's going to get it right? The Dave Chang's canned

20:40

crab. Maybe the vodka. I think

20:42

it might be the flavored vodka they put in shots.

20:45

Priya? I

20:47

think flavored vodka. And

20:50

you don't have to do a tiebreaker.

20:53

I think it's a wrap. The award for the biggest

20:55

shock of the season goes to Flavored Vodka.

20:57

And John DeBare, you win it because you said it first. What?

21:01

I mean, we'll just ignore

21:03

the fact that you asked him first. But

21:05

that's okay. But also Priya

21:07

actually said it first. When Chris asked.

21:10

All right, all right. JDB, we're taking away from you. This

21:12

is the moonlight moment. Sorry, JDB. Sorry,

21:14

there's been a mistake. Best adapted recipe. This was an award

21:16

this season. We asked everybody to do it. Best

21:20

adapted recipe. This was an award

21:22

this season.

21:23

We asked everybody to do

21:25

all these different constraints on the wheel.

21:28

I won't go through them again. If you don't know them and you're

21:30

listening to this episode, I don't know what you're doing. So

21:32

the nominees for this season. The wheel's

21:35

so stupid. Just go

21:37

to recipes. It's season one. It's so much

21:39

better. I should do this whole episode, this whole

21:42

show with my impression of myself and you do yours. You

21:44

do the Discord impression the entire time. The

21:47

nominees for best adapted recipe. This

21:49

is the best variation on the original

21:51

recipe where Dave's Caribbean

21:53

inspired pork chili, which you adapted from

21:55

Dave Arnold's pork chili recipe. Very delicious.

21:58

Rachel Kong's South East. Asian lemon

22:01

ice cream from the lemon dartie ice cream

22:03

party. My Greek

22:05

Chinese chicken wings. John DeBarry's

22:08

coffee mole Jamaican patty

22:10

from the coffee episode. Brian Ford's

22:13

budget homemade coconut poke cake

22:15

that he just freestyled. And

22:17

Priya Krishna's... Priya Krishna's... Priya

22:20

Krishna's... Sorry

22:22

I just turned you into a white lady. Priya

22:25

Krishna's... Priya

22:28

Krishna's... I

22:32

turned you into a white playwright. Priya

22:34

Krishna's doomsday

22:36

Gobi keema mutter. Which

22:39

she made with us in the office with I think freeze-dried

22:42

cauliflower and things right?

22:44

And with my chili.

22:46

Pickled chili. And your pickled chili to make

22:48

it... Was

22:48

this the one that made all of you sick?

22:50

Yes. Yeah. Sure

22:52

did. It's not an

22:55

I thought it's... It's merely an objective

22:58

fact. Alright. The award for the best adaptive

23:00

rest goes to David Chang's

23:02

Caribbean pork. No, no, no, no.

23:05

It's erasure kong for her Southeast

23:08

Asian lemon ice cream. Wow. And

23:10

her 320 lemon. I do

23:11

want to say that it was Malaysian specifically.

23:14

I won't stand for this erasure.

23:15

Okay. Malaysian specifically.

23:18

Yeah. Malaysian specifically. Is there a difference?

23:20

Damn. Listen,

23:23

it's all facts. Listen. Rachel is

23:25

right. It was a Malaysian lemon ice

23:27

cream party. And Priya's dish did make us

23:29

all sick. These are undeniable

23:31

facts of what happened. Dave,

23:35

stand for that lemon ice cream again. I think technically... You

23:39

think it was Dave that made us sick. That's what you're about to

23:41

say. Yeah. You put just as much acidity in as myself.

23:45

No, that's absolutely not

23:47

true. That's all the video tape. My

23:50

goodness, Priya. The

23:52

depth that you will go to... Have we

23:54

seen the tape yet? It's out there. It's out

23:56

there. We'll put it out there. Talk

23:59

about that ice cream though. Because we were blown away by

24:01

that. I thought that Rachel made

24:03

legitimately,

24:07

like if I've just made fun of an Upper

24:09

East Side restaurant, let me make

24:11

this very clear. And like a

24:13

top tier,

24:15

highly sought after and vicious kind

24:17

of restaurant that no one gives a shit about anymore.

24:20

Oh my God. Oh my God. Reference

24:24

to some such ads. No,

24:26

like fancy three mission star stuff. That

24:29

kind of flavor, that kind of exquisite

24:31

nature of a dish. That's

24:34

where Rachel's.

24:35

I think it was that good. Thank

24:37

you so much. It was as good as anything

24:40

I've tasted as a dessert all year. It was

24:42

unbelievably delicious. And I think if there's if anything

24:44

comes from this season, it's that Rachel should open. And

24:46

I don't think she could ever make it again. Wow.

24:50

Challenge. Challenge. Come to the studio and do

24:52

it. Wow. That's what we call in the

24:54

culinary world. One hit wonder. Yeah.

24:57

Damn. Knives are out.

24:59

The knives are out. Man. All

25:03

right. The next category is the

25:05

best comeback. No, comeback

25:07

of the year. So this is an

25:09

award for we gave you all some tough

25:11

constraints this year. And this

25:14

25:19

against them. The nominees are

25:22

25:25

butterhorns with homemade potato flakes

Canada on set for a show he was filming.

25:36

making her freaking clam stuffies with

25:39

those clam shells. She harvested

25:41

from a local restaurant. She made budget

25:44

stuffies less than twenty dollars. Very impressive.

25:46

I mean, she's like falling Greta Thurnberg's manifesto.

25:49

So crazy. Rachel

25:53

Kong's Lux Chinese

25:55

fusion putting shots. John DeBarry's

25:58

29:29

was like rolling. You were stuffing your hot dog. You like

29:31

rerolled it into something. And then you made some kind of insane decision.

29:33

Yeah. That would be escaping me right now. And

29:36

I fully feel justified.

29:37

No. It was that

29:39

the ingredients may or may not have blended together

29:42

before they got deep fried. And

29:44

y'all can like. No, no. You

29:47

29:49

You're with you for most of it. Brian,

31:22

every Every

31:25

day All

31:36

right the war for the biggest robbery of the season goes

31:38

to Brian Ford healthy South

31:41

Who complained every day? I agree.

31:44

I think yeah, he got robbed. I I

31:47

First first and foremost

31:49

you gave me South Beach diet. I couldn't use

31:52

I literally could Know

31:54

so I gotta say I don't even I just I

31:57

don't even know I'm just I gotta say I did not expect

31:59

to win This award I don't even think this is just

32:01

because because Christian and John DeBarry

32:03

made some badass dishes on that episode

32:06

I think John DeBarry made the jolof rice,

32:08

which

32:08

you know, it sounded phenomenal and Chris

32:10

you made inspired situation

32:13

so hey, I'll take I'll take

32:15

the award but JDP who makes

32:17

the better jollof rice? Ageri, oh

32:20

god. I try to get him to do this. We're

32:22

going right here. We're going here I mean, I'm only

32:24

hated my own jollof rice at this point. I think well just

32:26

pick a country What country

32:33

Yeah, who do you think makes a better one Nigeria

32:35

or Ghana cuz this is gonna be the poll quote for

32:37

the entire episode Don't don't answer don't answer

32:40

John. I Don't

32:43

have enough information Like

32:45

dove in front of a bullet for you PR

32:51

person

32:53

you don't have to answer this one

32:55

Gonna

32:58

make another joke that should not be made the

33:01

next award is This

33:11

award goes to none of you, this

33:13

is for the best special guest recipe None

33:15

of them are here to receive this but this is an award for

33:17

the special guest who gave us the most

33:20

beloved Recipe

33:22

the season that was Brescia Lopez's carne asada

33:25

Wiley Dufresne Parisian note gnocchi

33:27

Dave Arnold's pork chili or Malcolm Livingston's

33:30

sweet potato pie Which one did

33:32

you like the most?

33:33

Um, I Like

33:35

all of them Genuinely,

33:38

that's not a cop-out I thought the prison gnocchi

33:40

was delicious by Wiley because it allowed us

33:42

to make it with rice flour and

33:44

anytime we have Wiley Dufresne, that's a wonderful

33:46

thing Brescia's was delicious because we

33:49

got to

33:50

Make a lot of different sauces and marinades that have

33:52

really become our staff meal for since

33:54

she's been on Pretty

33:58

much every week

33:59

Malcolm Livingston sweet potato

34:02

pie I thought was amazing

34:04

simply for the addition of

34:06

the agar for any pie it

34:09

allows you to slice things it's

34:11

like a genius idea to make sure

34:13

that you get the the subtle nature

34:15

of a pie custard filling but

34:18

something that can allow you to have a slice slice

34:20

a nice clean slice yeah

34:23

who

34:23

else oh and Dave Arnold's

34:26

was simply delicious

34:28

and anytime again another good tip from his

34:30

was being able to puree the pork skin into

34:32

the chili because it gives that that

34:34

gelatinous viscosity that chili needs so

34:37

all of them were delicious but we can only have one winner

34:39

and they're all winners appreciate

34:43

Lopez's carne asada very

34:45

delicious and that you pulled out all the

34:47

stops and you did your version the confusion

34:49

when I was the first fusion episode I

34:51

worked so much on that you I've

34:53

literally never seen you cook that hard in your life

34:56

all right it

34:58

says here and I'm scared

35:01

to do this it says here

35:03

that the booth Corey

35:05

Victoria and Gabby have an award they would

35:07

like to hand out

35:08

so I'm gonna I'm gonna throw it over there I

35:11

have no idea what this is

35:14

so the booth award and

35:16

this is really you know life is short

35:19

and full of suffering and I think

35:22

we wanted to reward your spiraling who

35:24

suffered the most in

35:26

this season and that's

35:28

Chris also the booth

35:32

experienced most of you

35:38

know

35:41

the most wrath from Chris it is true so

35:44

I think that might yeah I

35:45

didn't have any green one reason error because I let

35:47

them all out as they come I had no pent

35:50

up grievance but you found your tail yeah yeah

35:52

I just want to say these cards

35:58

are very beautiful they're hefty I

36:00

know

36:02

if this was like a restaurant Thank

36:16

you for the award booth I

36:19

appreciate you recognizing my suffering Hey

36:25

you suffer I suffer we were separate

36:28

or suffragettes

36:29

The next category is a re-ranking

36:32

of the season We gave an opportunity to

36:34

all of our listeners out there to vote

36:37

to re-rank the results of the season

36:40

Before we do this let me give you an

36:42

update on where things stood before

36:44

this episode So right now in first place

36:46

with an average score of 9.38 I

36:49

still don't know how we get those numbers is John

36:51

DeBari In second

36:53

place Continue

36:56

suffering ongoing and never-ending

37:02

It's the and

37:05

the colon slash Yeah,

37:07

the real the real sad emoji.

37:09

I'm just gonna get this tattooed on me so

37:12

sorry the the current standings in the season after

37:15

after all the the

37:16

Episodes except for the last one

37:18

are John DeBari in first place Pied

37:21

for second our Priya and Brian with

37:23

nine point one seven in Third

37:26

I guess fourth place Dave with nine point

37:28

zero six how the mighty have fallen Rachel

37:31

after a stumble out of the gates has climbed

37:33

back into the ninth with a nine

37:35

point zero zero average and Statistically

37:38

impossible to be anywhere but the basement seeing

37:41

eight point eight one But

37:43

that's just what math said.

37:46

So what happens when you put

37:47

the decision in the hands of let's just guess share

37:49

the rankings Chris's second

37:52

to last I

37:54

think Chris is higher. I think the fans

37:56

want

37:57

higher Chris's second

37:59

to last I think

37:59

Discord like I think that

38:02

there it really does come down to the literary

38:05

dolian and Priya Christian

38:07

I think that I disagree.

38:09

I think I think they choose Rachel. I think JDB

38:11

one I think I think JDB

38:13

one. Yeah, or Brian. No,

38:15

I think it's Rachel all the way. It could be Brian. No,

38:18

John DeBarry Always

38:20

I log on to discord in the one since a hey I'm

38:31

gonna say that

38:32

the logic of the discord crowd

38:35

is

38:36

There's what the JDB fanboys are

38:39

there they're not as many

38:41

as he may think right? Oh They're

38:45

not gonna choose Priya got a great idea

38:48

expecting Priya to win

38:50

Mmm, thereby the

38:52

Trans communicative property. Yes

38:56

to the trans communicative property she Now

38:58

has open I Think

39:02

it's Chris Yang. I think I

39:04

think I think David's I think David's right. I think David's

39:06

lost. I'm second to last I think it's close

39:09

Yeah Love

39:19

and feeling sorry for somebody right next

39:21

to each other I agree with that because I feel like I

39:23

feel like that's why I You

39:28

know martyr figure no, no, no, no, they're there

39:31

they're they are close emotions. Like I said Revolution

39:33

started with guys like it's the basis of my

39:36

marriage. I Agree,

39:39

but

39:39

I'm at the bottom. Don't worry

39:42

This episode, or this award, is

41:23

for the best overall

41:25

episode.

41:26

And

41:27

I guess I can go over, should I go over these nominees?

41:29

No, every single season, every single episode of the season

41:31

was nominated. Before we do this, what was

41:33

everybody's favorite episode, yours or otherwise,

41:36

from this season? I

41:38

liked the flavored vodka episode. I thought that was

41:40

really fun.

41:41

I liked hearing about Priya's college lunches. That was

41:43

also my favorite episode. She sounded like really. Priya

41:47

sounded wild in college. She sounded like a wild

41:49

time.

41:50

I had college friends reach

41:53

out to me and be like, oh my god, I remember

41:55

Hannah Kuhar's irresponsible. Did

41:57

Hannah reach out?

41:58

Of flavored vodka.

41:59

God is not really good.

42:02

Toga! Toga! Toga! Priyas,

42:06

what was your first drinking experience with like you

42:08

went and stayed with a family when you were 14 or

42:11

something and just

42:13

in Mexico or something? Yeah. Wow. How do you remember

42:15

that? We hash those memories. Go

42:20

back and listen to that episode if you want to hear all about a very

42:24

irresponsible Priya Krishna. I thought that was a fun

42:26

episode. I like, I want to say this, I really enjoyed

42:28

getting to do the episodes where we had everybody

42:31

in the studio when we could. So that was, that was

42:33

fun for us, I think. Dave,

42:36

this is the big one. This is best picture. This is best overall

42:38

episode. Best picture and I'm

42:41

excited because I already looked at it. Oh

42:43

my god! We know, we

42:45

know you did. Zero plus control. And

42:48

there's no collusion here folks.

42:51

What's he got? Because, oh god,

42:53

the best overall episode goes to Lemon.

42:56

Lemon Daugherty, Ice Cream Daugherty, Peach

42:58

Day Chain Christine, and the literary do-yeon

43:00

Rachel Cobb submitted by Jeffrey

43:02

and Maggie Litt. Wow. I did

43:05

it under 20 minutes. Chris had Lux and Fusion

43:07

Mexico and Rachel had Asia

43:10

slash... Holy sh...

43:15

All

43:19

right, can you give us these? We do like

43:22

to drink. It's everyone's award. It's

43:25

actually specifically ours.

43:28

I

43:28

would like to thank Lemon's

43:29

for bringing a powerful

43:32

fruit.

43:33

Maybe the third or fourth best citrus fruit, yes.

43:36

Asia, the continent. Did

43:38

it again. Did it again. Specifically the southeast

43:41

part. It's been a while since we've had a lot of wins, since antiquity,

43:43

but we did it again. We did it. We did it.

43:46

And yeah, Dave made ice cream

43:48

under 20 minutes.

43:49

Did he get it? Listen,

43:52

shout out to the other nominees. You got your

43:54

performances this season. We're incredible. I

43:57

just, I can't believe we got this, but sorry.

43:59

Sorry guys. because it was fucking

44:01

awesome. It was awesome. Get

44:04

out of here with that, Chris. That

44:07

was fake. Get out of here with that fake energy.

44:10

She'll just come in here and talk about sorry guys. She's

44:12

like, just sweeping the ward. She's like, do you

44:14

have a parasite? She is something like

44:17

a parasite. I'm ultimately a loser. Not

44:20

a parasite, the movie parasite, Chris. Oh,

44:23

sorry. No, you are a lot like the

44:25

movie parasite. Of course, a wonderful piece of creative

44:27

art. Nothing like a parasite whatsoever.

44:29

No, I'm just kidding. I

44:32

love you, Rachel. Speaking

44:34

of nice things that people have to say about

44:35

one another, we also opened the floor for our listeners

44:37

to send some messages to all of our wedgies here. I'll

44:40

give you a little sampling of what people said. Priya,

44:44

the way you weave poop into so many of your episodes is

44:46

inspiring. You are

44:48

such a delight and I love how you approach recipes. That's

44:52

really sweet, Priya, how you get shit in your head. I'm always in

44:54

a much better mood by the end. Cooking with

44:56

you always includes laughter and that

44:58

makes everything taste even better. Same. Oh

45:03

my god. God, Dave, were you double

45:05

checking

45:05

that that was actually what happened?

45:08

Yeah, I was like, I'm not sure. I'm

45:10

just kidding. I'm just

45:12

kidding. I'm just

45:14

kidding. I'm just

45:16

kidding. I'm just kidding.

45:19

Yeah, Dave, were you double checking that that

45:22

was actually what happened? That's

45:24

right, Dave. I'll be

45:26

making them smile. This is JDB

45:28

season. Keepin' coming,

45:30

JDB. Love your creativity. Love

45:32

the, wait, what is this? This is

45:35

a JDB compliment. Love the intellectualism

45:37

that Priya brings to the competition. I'll

45:40

take it. And

45:42

the absolute unfettered chaos

45:45

that Jon brings to winning strategies

45:47

worthy of a tie. Rachel is

45:49

most certainly the sweetest, even though she does not

45:52

want to be recognized that way. No. Most

45:54

insightful and most adaptable wedgie. Literary,

45:57

Doyin for the win. Sure. Dave, DC is

45:59

serving. ruthless chill all

46:01

hail the people of the Republic of Jay.

46:07

The Democratic Republic of David Jay. I'm

46:10

very interested. There's

46:14

nothing Democratic about this Republic of Jay. She's

46:16

the staff right there. A lot of very nice things people

46:19

had to say. We

46:22

appreciate you all listening to the show. What about

46:24

Chris?

46:25

Wait, Chris, did anyone

46:27

say something nice about you?

46:27

Nobody said anything nice to me. That's

46:30

not true. Dave needs

46:32

reading glasses. Chris

46:36

is the bestest. All the love to Chris

46:38

Ying, exclamation point. A

46:41

for Africa. Chris

46:43

really holds it down. Brian

46:46

was great all season. Chris was denied

46:48

by the system, man. I

46:54

am the system. Chris,

46:58

you have the patience of a saint. I

47:00

hope they pay you enough for that. Not to mention for

47:02

your extraordinary talent. You

47:05

giggly hat.

47:08

That's from his mom. Chris,

47:13

you can't just shut on. So

47:16

unnecessarily stop keeping him in the basement

47:19

and let him be the star he was born to be.

47:22

I'm smiling. Chris

47:24

is all signs of fellowship over here. Did

47:28

Jamie write that, Chris? No, this obviously

47:30

sounds like my mom wrote that, but my mom cannot get on

47:33

Discord. Thank you. Okay,

47:37

so now we've come down to the meat of the

47:40

matter.

47:41

Because if you listen to the last episode,

47:43

the maple syrup episode, you know

47:45

that somehow this

47:48

absolute insane season came down

47:50

to the last episode. It was down to JDB versus Priya. JDB

47:58

could win the season with a first round. second place

48:00

finish I believe. Priya needed to

48:02

finish in first place in that episode to win

48:05

the entire season. We

48:07

played it out, they made their

48:09

maple pudding shilmuh.

48:13

They both got the

48:15

Indian restriction to make an Indian

48:18

fusion of it. So they both had to

48:20

make the same dish the same way. Well we know who's gonna win

48:22

that. Dave, the final

48:25

winner. Even Pricewater Cooperass doesn't know. I

48:27

know, we still have no idea. Wait, wait, wait, before

48:30

you do that.

48:31

No, I'll show it after. I have a trophy.

48:34

Here we go. But the trophy has the

48:36

name on

48:37

it? The trophy has the name engraved on

48:39

it. Where can I put this so you guys can see

48:41

it?

48:42

This is what awaits you. If you

48:44

win, this glory awaits

48:46

you.

48:47

Baseball. Wow. This custom shiny

48:50

trophy. It was just...

48:53

Hitting it out of the park. Hitting it out of the park.

48:55

It was a big surprise. And Spotify

49:00

is granting you guys

49:02

half a million

49:04

major domo gold. Booyah.

49:09

Yeah. And you know what? The ringer is matching

49:11

it with their own. Half a

49:16

million major domo gold. Damn.

49:20

The largest prize in show history.

49:23

One million major domo

49:25

gold.

49:26

This

49:27

baseball trophy. The only

49:29

question is, are they gonna get it in lump sum

49:32

or spread out over 10 years? You gotta take

49:34

the lump sum. You gotta take the lump sum. It's crazy. I'm

49:36

so tired of this. I need to buy

49:38

a penthouse in the Bahamas. All right. This

49:44

is very real. I know. I'm emotional.

49:46

Did you cheat? No, I said I was gonna cheat. Okay,

49:48

okay. I don't have superpowers. Pull it out and

49:51

see who is the champion. The winner

49:54

of recipe club season three is

49:56

exactly what I thought

49:59

it was gonna be.

50:01

It's how history unfolds. John

50:03

DeBarry! John DeBarry! Whoa!

50:06

Whoa! Peel off the sticker!

50:09

What were the... Oh, here it is.

50:11

Can you peel off the sticker? Congratulations! Thank

50:14

you. JDB! JDB! John

50:16

DeBarry! The maple syrup results

50:19

were John DeBarry first place, Priya

50:22

Krishna second place, and deserving

50:24

of last place, Christiaan once again. Wow.

50:28

I think it was the 20 minutes that this place was sitting

50:30

over, because it just made it that much harder. Priya,

50:33

Priya, let me ask you something.

50:37

You had predicted a John DeBarry victory this

50:40

season in episode one. You had called this...

50:42

That's a victory. Did you think it

50:44

was going to come at your expense? You

50:46

were the defending champion, I believe. Did

50:49

you think this was going to come at your expense, and how do you feel

50:52

today?

50:54

I can't

50:56

be mad, because John DeBarry won

50:59

by using Indian-ish.

51:02

So honestly, this is kind of a win either

51:04

way.

51:10

For those who don't know, JDB...

51:13

But also a win for either way, but a loss

51:16

for humanity. One

51:19

step forward from the recipe club, three steps backward

51:22

for society. Wait,

51:25

wait, wait. Season one,

51:27

Rachel. That's right. Rachel

51:29

won season one, right? Season two, Priya won

51:31

under dispute. Patrick.

51:34

There's no pictures in the

51:37

scorecard. No pictures in

51:39

the scorecard. I think

51:41

we need retroactive trophies,

51:43

don't you? We can arrange. I think we

51:45

bought these in bulk. If you want one of these,

51:48

you can have one of these. And

51:51

season three... And season three,

51:54

welcome to the Hall of Champions.

51:57

Vahala, sir. JDB. Thank

51:59

you. Speech, speech, speech, speech. Oh,

52:02

God.

52:03

What to say?

52:04

Do you like baseball? That's

52:07

the one with the home runs, right? Congratulations.

52:12

I went on Fly

52:15

Out to LA to pick it up. Dave, what are the

52:17

final... JDB, first place with 9.44. Shockingly,

52:21

Brian Ford. Whoa! Whoa!

52:25

Whoa! What?

52:27

Whoa! Oh,

52:29

yeah, Christian. What's wrong,

52:31

Brian? Hell,

52:38

yeah. I'll take that. Oh,

52:40

no. We

52:42

need for be here. Barso,

52:45

Harnish, Craig. I know the state.

52:50

That's for you, Christian. In bronze

52:53

with 9.14.

52:55

Dave Chang, 9.06. Rachel

52:58

Kong, literally, Doyan with 9.00.

53:01

Honestly, that's a huge comeback. That's

53:03

a huge comeback. Yeah. It's a big,

53:05

big comeback. She was handicapped out of the gate,

53:07

and to climb up to 9.0, that really... And that

53:09

was really Chris Yang's fault that she was handicapped.

53:12

I think it was your fault. But I somehow,

53:14

thanks to this booth of who's already awarded

53:16

me for suffering, have a lower score

53:18

than I started this episode. Wow! We'll

53:21

give you a third. I

53:26

just want to say my speech. Oh,

53:28

Chris.

53:30

This really does hurt my feelings. And

53:33

I really do feel bad about myself. I

53:36

just want to say that. I'm just going to say that, guaranteed,

53:39

I know, I haven't looked. You

53:40

can look at the video tape.

53:42

The People's Champ is going to be Rachel

53:44

Kong. No.

53:46

There's no question. I just think John

53:49

DeBarry is overestimating... Yeah,

53:52

I agree. Over-indexed by popularity.

53:55

It's very similar to...

53:57

Oh, now we're getting...

53:59

I think he's treating the discord

54:02

voters like Hillary Clinton treated Michigan

54:06

You think those are your votes that's

54:08

the problem But if

54:10

he is number one, okay might go to the discord

54:13

that might say something about white

54:15

supremacy

54:15

Supreme

54:25

I gotta say I'm most so proud of everyone here

54:27

of using the rest of the code as a vehicle I

54:33

Know that's why this shows important. That's why

54:35

this shows important. All right, Dave you have

54:38

the people's Here

54:43

here are the results of the listener voter re-ranking

54:47

from the bottom up

54:50

The man I

54:53

know why you're set the man man

54:55

standing next to me is in sixth place. I am

54:57

in fifth place Hey,

55:00

it feels good just to be out of the basement. What

55:02

Rachel Kong fourth place. No,

55:05

Brian Ford

55:06

third place Oh, we know

55:08

what's happening

55:09

and in second place Priya

55:11

Krishna Radicalize

55:22

the discourse, you know what's going on

55:24

man. What are the chances that one white

55:27

guy beats five people of color? What?

55:35

Like our whole discord in a nutshell major Domo

55:37

media is an entirely Asian owned

55:40

business in our discord

55:45

John

55:48

John I gotta speak up for you. I gotta

55:50

say guys John DeBarry is amazing

55:53

and we shouldn't take his moment away

55:59

John Averry's amazing. I

56:02

vote for John Averry too. Easiest

56:04

way I got love for everybody. Me and Brad

56:06

in the motorcycle, yeah. Oh shit, shit. I

56:10

really found Rachel's gonna win. I

56:12

thought JDB was gonna be third at best. But

56:15

again, I

56:16

was wrong.

56:18

Hey listen, the Discord never

56:20

surprises us. I'm

56:24

just kidding, Discord, I'm not. But thank

56:27

you for not getting down

56:29

today.

56:31

We just called the whole Discord... You

56:34

just did. You

56:37

just did, I did it. No, no, I didn't

56:39

know. You did. That could

56:41

be a lot of things. I meant

56:43

they're radical, like a ninja turtle. Oh,

56:46

okay, alright. Prime

56:49

Ford is the one that just called him something I would never

56:51

think about. Oh no, no, no, we got this

56:53

on the program man. I'm

56:56

sleeping good tonight. Yeah, but

56:58

you're editing. I know, this

57:01

is good.

57:03

Yeah,

57:05

you are the good thing. Thank you to all of our wedgies,

57:07

JDB, Priya, Brian, Rachel. You

57:10

know, these guys are getting up to do all this. Priya

57:12

is literally doing this from across the ocean

57:14

in London at dinner time for us. We

57:17

really appreciate you guys cooking and showing up every

57:19

single week. Thanks to all our listeners

57:22

for voting, making your opinions

57:24

known to all of us.

57:26

And mostly just to us.

57:29

Thank

57:32

you, Rachel, for your best picture. Best episode.

57:36

Thank you, Rachel, for your leadership. Thank

57:38

you for your courage and conviction for

57:41

making

57:42

the greatest episode of the season. I remember

57:44

earlier with Dave, it was like, hey, I managed to read my name without

57:47

sounding like an asshole. And now he's faking us.

57:50

It means Rachel. Rachel.

57:54

A little bit like the

57:55

Kanye, Taylor

57:56

Swift moment. A little bit

57:58

like that. I guess I'm gonna say. Thank

58:02

you to Corey and Victoria

58:04

and Gabby over there in the booth for scoring

58:07

this season so fairly and justly

58:10

and correctly. Thanks to,

58:12

you know, Ira, Chris Chen, Noelle at

58:14

major Domo for all the work. Hold on, they just,

58:16

it's like a heavyweight boxing match. I

58:20

don't know what fight you guys are watching. Yeah.

58:24

I just wanna point out, we never

58:27

ate any of the food you all made. We never

58:29

saw any of it. Right, so

58:31

like a real food critic, basically. Yeah, right. Wow.

58:38

Damn. I'm sorry, this episode can never

58:40

air. Thank you guys.

58:42

This is a great season.

58:45

We didn't accomplish all of our goals.

58:47

We didn't manage to get everybody together

58:50

for an in-person episode, although we got to see all

58:52

of you individually at our studio at some point or another,

58:54

I believe,

58:54

right? Everybody got to come through and see

58:56

us. So there's something

58:58

left to do for season four.

59:00

Screen screen, that's it. Yeah,

59:02

green screen, that. Yeah. Season

59:06

four, there's a bunch of ideas being

59:08

thrown around. That's right. No question that the

59:11

people that enjoy the show are gonna fucking hate it.

59:13

Right? Yeah. It's

59:17

so good. Any final words,

59:19

people, for the audience out there? Well,

59:21

I wanna plug

59:23

Priya Krishna's forthcoming children's

59:26

cookbook.

59:26

Oh, yeah. Priya,

59:28

would you like to

59:30

say more about it? When is it out?

59:33

What is it called? Oh my God. Where can people

59:35

find it?

59:37

It is out the same day as

59:40

Real Americans

59:40

by Rachel Khan. Oh,

59:43

30th. Wow, Rachel, now I see. Deviant,

59:45

Rachel. So clever.

59:48

And it also happens to be my birthday.

59:50

No, just kidding. So

59:53

that's coming out. It's children's cookbook

59:55

by Priya Krishna. What's the

59:58

title again?

59:59

Kitchen Adventures and it has recipes

1:00:02

by our very own Chris Ying

1:00:05

including the

1:00:06

non-collusion microwaveable pickles,

1:00:08

green peas and pork. Yay! I

1:00:11

wonder how that all played out. Chris,

1:00:13

if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours

1:00:15

a year later. It's called Priya's Kitchen Kickbacks

1:00:18

and includes recipes from Priya's Kitchen Pale

1:00:22

and anybody who wants to get paid. Rachel

1:00:24

Kong, your book title, your novel. It's

1:00:27

out

1:00:27

April 30th on the same day

1:00:29

as Priya's. We need to do some kind of collaborative

1:00:31

event perhaps with all the wedgies.

1:00:36

But yeah, I do actually have

1:00:38

a discount code for wedgies. Yeah,

1:00:40

it's right out there. So if

1:00:42

people pre-order on bookshop.org,

1:00:45

they can get 15% off by using wedgies15. Whoa!

1:00:49

Wedgies15, you guys? A discount

1:00:51

code on bookshop.org? Wedgies15.

1:00:55

Can you give us a little bit

1:00:57

of a taste? What is the book about? Your

1:00:59

novel? Well, it's

1:01:01

about moms

1:01:04

and children and immigrants

1:01:06

and perhaps

1:01:09

it's a bit about white supremacy as well.

1:01:11

It's

1:01:13

called Real American. A recipe club story. What

1:01:17

else do you guys got? You guys

1:01:19

are all tanked in it. Now, John

1:01:22

and Brian, you guys got anything to plug? Anything coming out where

1:01:24

the fans can find you as they wait eagerly

1:01:27

for season four?

1:01:30

1:02:16

All of that to look out for. That

1:02:21

is messed up.

1:02:25

That is messed up. That is

1:02:27

too funny. Alright,
