I've loved watching Trevor's slow evolution from quiet, reserved pastry chef to Josh's maniacal hype-man/sidekick

[vlahakisnick]

Heartless refs didnt even take into account Trevor's incredible strength and grit to compete through that devastating injury.

[aenema]

Josh and Trevor are pure positive masculinity and I love every bit of it.

[IamAJoe]

Nichole just tossing out sport terms like she knows what she is talking about is the most relatable thing for me.

[c.n.uhhhhhh]

excited for this to be a series the energy is *chef's kiss*

[chistake]

I remember the first episode they added Vee, and I'm so happy she's gotten comfortable around the camera to be weird and embrace the joy of being silly.

[chriswoodiel]

Josh: "we've got a little bit of like a Cajun seasoning in there, it's like a great all-purpose seasoning to add to anything spicy"

Josh, you don't have to mince words, we all know that's just Tony Chachere's. And it's a great all-purpose seasoning to add to literally anything, spicy or not.

[poonami]

so nice of the prison to let V and Nichole out to make cheese dip

[ladboymcsupreme]

I love watching Todd and Tam work together, you can really feel the love and respect.

[desertdwellintom]

Trevor making the effort to come up to Josh's level of energy is commendable.

[inyourhearts]

Josh is such a specimen, I'm actually gonna be really upset if they didn't do some battle of the joshes with Josh Peck

[pianoman]

Really appreciated how Trevor and Josh styled their jerseys so the happy trails were visible

[chris_dietz]

It's clear Nicole's football knowledge is solely gleaned from half listening to her husband talking about fantasy football.

[niatsdoolb]

"You gonna back down or play me bro?" has had me laughing all day.

[HelixturnHelix]

Petition to make Josh always wear his shirt like this... for ... reasons!

[benalark]

Loved this episode. Do more food battles. Also, do something like the "pass it on" that Sorted Food does.

New episode type on Mythical Kitchen? Awesome, so far ever series has impressed!

[TacoHunter]

When Josh used the pan it’s literally on fire, Nicole can’t even get it warm and that is honestly so funny to me

[mutedtulips]

I just love the whole Mythical Kitchen team. All four of them are so fun to watch.
