I Went to LA’s Most Exclusive Food Festival

You guys are in for it today. I don't know how I keep doing it, but I just keep coming up with cool stuff for us to do as the Nash Bird family. We're at the Rose Bowl. Yeah. Where they play football. Yeah. Where they have the swap meet. Yeah. Except there's no football today. There's no swap meet. It's the Masters of Taste. Cue music. My belly. Naveen's belly. My palate. Palate brought together here today at the Rose Bowl. Oh no. My teeth are red from my ice cream. Guys, I love you. Today's going to be fun. Just kick back and enjoy. Don't even stress. We've got you covered. Literally, I think this might be like a 20 minute vlog. It doesn't matter. I wish. Time is a construct. I went and ran today on the beach. Cooked out there. 4.5 miles. 8,800 steps. J-Dog in full effect. You're about to get some more. Rippin', rippin', rippin'. No, this is good. I'm glad we're going to be walking. I'm already at 9K this thing. Probably get to about 13. Why do people say K? 9K? I don't know. Because I mean like, a K is a thousand. I'm not sure. What? Nothing. Why'd you gasp? The seatbelt scared me. All right. Are we ready to do this? Special thanks to TN for getting us tickets today. What does that mean? Oh. Did you organize the free tickets? I want a special thanks because I, like when I tell you, I don't know. I feel like you didn't really do that before. Yeah. No, I do that. You do? All the time. Bagel Fest told me no. So that really took me down. I was down for a couple of weeks about Bagel Fest. No, Bagel Fest. They're going to get theirs. Don't worry. I heard everybody got crabs at Bagel Fest anyway. By the way, guys. We'll be here August 22nd. Thanks to TN. I was right in the middle of a pitch. Today's video is brought to you by SeatGeek. Yes, SeatGeek. The number one ticketing app in the world.

I kind of wish I was like the guy that they were trying to impress, like a New York Times food critic or something. Oh, yeah, yeah. I feel like I've done enough eating in my life that my opinion is valuable. Guys, we're walking in right now. I have no idea what to expect. It's at the Rose Bowl, which is pretty much the biggest stadium in LA. Cowboy Cross, New York Strip. Oh my God. Oh, okay. So this, polenta. I'm not kidding. It tastes like pink berry. Oh my God. Imagine the whole entree of that. Oh my God. Want one more? No, but there's 100, please. So you're telling me I need to slow down. Can I ask your opinion on something? Please. Would I want a cod slider, a fried cod? Do you like cod? Yeah, but it's fried. Should I get it? Take a bite. Careful. You ran so fast. You almost found your old lady that was literally with a walker. Well, I know her. Actually, I had beef with her. I don't like her. What's that drink? It's a hibiscus tangerine agua fresca. Agua fresca. Want one? Holy ----. Is it good? Get ready. Okay. This looks nice. Milo. Look at this. Look at the cod. Oh my God. It's like a fillet of fish. Look at the grill. Look at the American cheese. It's so good. Thank you. Nice. What's your favorite? What is that? Arpaccio. Oh yeah. There's mint on there. It's unbelievable. Oh my God. Okay. It's a shrimp noodle bar. What? Where? No way. Hey, how are you? Are you kidding? Look at that shrimp. A little wonton, but without the wonton. They're like pickled so perfectly. It tastes like seaweed salad with cucumbers. Try it. You're asking me to try, but you're pulling your hand away. You don't want it, right? Can I try this one? Yeah. Thank you so much. Thank you. Okay. This is the original. That. Just go slow. Wow. Oh my God. It's like caramelized on the bottom. What the hell? Your reaction is too much. What the hell? Do I want it? It's so interesting. You should try it. It's so good. I love it. Wait, how do you serve that? As an appetizer or as a dessert? No, as an appetizer. Thank you. I'm in heaven. This place is dope. There's not one bad thing I've had. Unbelievable. Oh my God. I can't, I can't, I'm so full. Do it, do it, do it. Okay, okay, I'll try. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is beautiful. I like the vibe here. Look at how beautiful this is. Cafe Italia. Yeah? This is incredible. Shrimp with a jicama tortilla. That's really good. Panko-crusted shrimp. Want one more bite? No, maybe. It's really good. Okay, Naveen was choking. We were a little bit. Don't say that part. That shrimp panko thing, some cilantro went down and she starts running and I'm chasing after her. I'm like, let me get you water. She's like, I've got to keep moving. But thank God you did because you ran into Julia. And I had lemonade. And Julia saved you with lemonade. I did save you with lemonade. I want to take you to this one shrimp thing I had. You're like acting like you own the place. I know. Let me take you to the shrimp part. Turns into a shot glass. It's a key chain. No way. Oh, no way. That's so cool. That was so cool. When you put it up there, you give it a little twist so that it stays up. You don't want to collapse it. Right. Oh, wow. Grab another one for the video or whatever. But yeah. Oh, wow. Great job. I'm trying to make the full body, you know, kind of a flavored cocktail. So we use real ingredients and we're trying to mimic what it tastes like to get it over the bar while also being able to keep it in a bottle and keep it shelf stable. So that's the ethos. That's cool. Yeah. Tastes like it came right out of the, right from the bar. Right out of the bar, yeah. That's sweet. Being friends with Julia has its privileges. It does. You know, all access. Ooh. No big deal. So that guy is Mario and Mario's my dad. That's incredible. And it is my dad's recipe in the bottle he made in their family for over 60 years. Mario's your dad? Mario's my, look, it's even better. My dad, his grandpa is Godfather. Oh my God. It's a family business? It's a family business. Your? Here, what'd you think? Yeah. Oh, that is great. All right, guys, it's official. I'm full. Naveen. Yeah? I just ran into two things that I really want. I think I have to. You think you have to? I gotta do it for the people. Let's get in line for the orange chicken while we wait. I mean, it's once a year, right? You gotta go for everything, right? Thank you so much. All right, first up, we have yakiya. It's a wagyu short rib. It's good. It's like peppery, teriyaki. Guys, orange chicken's my favorite thing in the world. Let's see. This is my last meal right here. That's gonna be a good one. It was. It's good? It's worth a last meal? That would be my last meal. Call the police. They should have officers here to arrest people. For what? To stop them when they've had enough. Like a food festival sheriff. I am drunk on orange chicken. I just can't. I just can't keep going. Then why are you going? Oh, that's good. They're talking about your pie all over the festival, you know? Someone just sent us over here. Honeycomb? Honeycomb, yes. We make it in-house as well. It's a boiled almond soft serve with fudge or with juice and a graham cracker. Amazing. Look at the honeycomb. I gotta send it to my sister. I gotta take a picture of it. Well, there we go, guys. We came, we saw, we kicked ass. We won the game. We won Rose Bowl, the Super Bowl. You're sure you're done? Killed it. I can't. It's almost like I can't say no to Asian. Okay, well, we know what kind of girls keep you working. There was nothing bad there. There was nothing that I tasted that I wasn't like knocked out. Like, wow. Every single thing I ate, that was something. That's a good event. And it's beautiful. The only thing was it was hot, hot, hot. The sun is too much for me, but.
