00:25 All right, we got another recipe sent in
00:28 from Bill Lodek, and I think this is
00:31 because it's his six-year-old daughter's favorite recipe,
00:34 and she likes Tanks Cooks and wants me
00:37 to make her favorite dish, and it just so happens
00:41 it's Flamin' Hot Cheetos, Korean corn dogs.
00:46 Yes, that's right, so we have to start off
00:50 with the Flamin' Hot Cheetos, and we have to smash them up.
00:54 So we're gonna smash these up, and we gotta ground 'em up,
00:58 smash 'em and pound 'em, pound and smash.
01:01 Put some Flamin' Hot Cheetos in this bag here.
01:05 Maybe that's a little too much.
01:10 Let me get a little out back in that bag.
01:13 La la la la.
01:15 Let's see, maybe not that much.
01:19 I poured, I didn't mean to pour that many into the bag.
01:23 Let's see, let's see, here we go.
01:26 There we go, all right, all right.
01:29 We'll start by smashing them, hammering them.
01:33 Pretend it's fucking Buckshaw Walter.
01:37 You stay in there.
01:41 So no one's gonna escape now. (laughs)
01:51 Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow.
01:53 Look at that, look at that, hammering these.
01:55 (hammering)
01:58 Smash 'em up real good.
02:00 La la la la, da da da da da.
02:04 Smash, smash, smash, smash, smash, smash, smash.
02:08 Smashing up the hot toilet of Hot Cheetos.
02:11 Test of Cheetah, eat your heart out.
02:15 (smashing)
02:17 That's good.
02:27 Let's smash it up a little bit more.
02:31 (hammering)
02:33 (smashing)
02:36 We'll preheat the oven, I mean preheat the deep fryer.
02:51 Start getting that ready.
02:53 Okay, what we'll do is we're gonna put it in a bowl.
02:57 The Hot Cheetos mix into a bowl.
03:03 Hot Cheetos, Hot Cheetos.
03:06 There we go.
03:09 We'll get some of this corn dog batter.
03:15 Corn dog batter.
03:17 What does it matter?
03:21 Get the corn dog batter.
03:23 Time to get the corn dog batter.
03:27 Hopefully the bag doesn't open.
03:31 I want the bag open, here we go.
03:33 Okay, we have to get a spoon here
03:46 and mix this all around.
03:48 Turn it around, mix it around.
03:50 Get our eggs in here too.
03:59 And next we'll get one of these babies.
04:03 A rubber spatula.
04:04 Rubber spatula, get a rubber spatula.
04:08 Don't wanna hatch a love, get a rubber spatula.
04:14 Get a rubber spatula.
04:15 See that warmness that, hue that.
04:19 It's taking on a little bit of a heat
04:22 into the corn dog batter.
04:27 Da da da dee dee dee dee.
04:29 Rubber spatula, that's our rubber spatula.
04:34 Okay, we need to put a little bit of sugar in here.
04:37 Sugar, sugar.
04:39 Do do do do do do.
04:42 Oh, sugar, sugar.
04:43 Da da da da da.
04:45 There we go.
04:48 Little bit of, just a little sugar.
04:51 Just a little sugar.
04:55 Put this back over here.
04:57 All right.
05:02 Get a little baking powder in here too.
05:05 No one's given me actually any ingredients,
05:06 so I think this is probably enough.
05:08 He said do it by eye I guess.
05:12 He didn't give me any measurements.
05:14 (humming)
05:17 Da da dee dee dee da da da da.
05:20 La la la la.
05:24 (humming)
05:26 Okay, now we're gonna mix in our wet ingredient,
05:33 which is going to be an egg wash.
05:38 Wash, wash, egg, egg, wash.
05:41 Egg wash.
05:42 Egg wash.
05:45 Wash the eggs, wash the egg.
05:48 Here's one eggy-weggy.
05:52 (egg cracking)
05:54 That's two eggy-weggys.
05:59 That's two eggy-weggys.
06:00 Hey, funabula.
06:02 This is why I have this thing.
06:03 That's not supposed to fucking happen.
06:04 Oh, you've had a fucking time.
06:07 God motherfucking damn it.
06:09 I mean, I don't want to sell this thing anymore.
06:12 Get another egg.
06:18 That's three eggy-weggys.
06:22 And we'll get a fourth.
06:23 All right.
06:29 Now we put a little bit of milk into our eggs
06:33 before we beat them up.
06:35 Then we put in the accent.
06:48 (imitates drumming)
06:51 To wake up some food flavors, a little bit of salt,
06:56 a little bit of pepper,
07:01 and now some red food dye.
07:04 So we're gonna turn this red.
07:06 Turn it red, make it red.
07:09 Red, you see, you can't have red hot without red.
07:14 And we're gonna mix it up.
07:15 Red, and we're gonna make it red, nice and red.
07:20 Now, are you ready for the red?
07:22 Let's go.
07:23 All right.
07:39 All right, now we'll beat up these eggs.
07:45 Beat them up.
07:46 That's a rich, rich color, I see.
07:53 Kind of almost like a purple.
07:57 ♪ The purple looks purpley in this tweed ♪
08:01 ♪ Looks more purple than it does red ♪
08:06 All right.
08:14 We'll get ready to mix this into here.
08:19 Mix the batter together.

08:59 Mixing up the batter.
09:03 That's what always matters when you're mixing up the batter.
09:08 And what we'll do is,
09:10 hold, stab it, dab it.
09:15 Yeah, there we go.
09:18 Let me just give it a little more space.
09:20 I'll put this on this over here for now.
09:23 I'm gonna make, I'm gonna make,
09:27 I think four, four should be enough.

09:39 There we go, there we go.
09:41 Oops, here we go.
09:44 Sticking it in.
09:45 This one didn't get stuck in as good as the other one.
09:51 Here it is.
09:53 Get our third dog.
09:57 All right.
10:01 And number four.
10:08 (paper rustling)
10:10 We got our oil preheating.
10:12 We're trying to get to a temperature, 375.
10:13 I don't have a temperature gauge,
10:15 so I'm just gonna guess that we're at 375, more or less.
10:19 All right.
10:25 Pour the batter into the glass.
10:28 Perhaps I should do this over the sink
10:30 so it doesn't spill all over the fucking place.
10:34 (paper rustling)
10:36 All right, well, it did spill all over the place,
10:43 but it's in the sink, so that'll be easier to clean.
10:45 All right.
10:47 We'll take a dog and we'll dip it in.
10:52 Dip the dog in the batter.
10:55 Hopefully the batter sticks to the bagger.
10:58 Dip the dog in the batter.
10:59 It's sticking to the batter.
11:02 There we go.
11:04 Oops, oops, oops.
11:05 Here we go.
11:07 Doesn't stick all the way, though.
11:08 Shit.
11:09 That's one.
11:15 That's two.
11:23 Add a little bit more batter.
11:28 We can refresh the batter.
11:32 (paper rustling)
11:35 Motherfucker, there's something in it.
11:45 There we go.
11:46 Come on.
11:48 There we go.
11:52 And now...
11:54 We'll let it stand for a couple of minutes
12:01 just so we get a little more batter in here.
12:03 Hey, you get off there.
12:12 Come on, stick, stick, stick.
12:18 This isn't sticking that well.
12:22 All right, there we go.
12:24 It's not sticking.
12:31 Come on, stick.
12:32 Stick, stick.
12:37 There we go.
12:41 All right.
12:42 We'll get ready to fry this up in a minute,
12:45 so we'll just let it stand.
12:47 And you do a little bit of cleaning.
12:49 Into the sink.
12:52 All right.
12:58 (humming)
13:00 See, I do clean up.
13:18 People are worried that I don't clean up the mess.
13:20 I clean up the mess.
13:21 Of course, it didn't stick to this one, dog.
13:27 Shit.
13:28 - Hold on, let me come over and get some close-ups.
13:33 - I don't remember.
13:34 It's not sticking to the dog.
13:38 The batter's not sticking to the dog.
13:40 Look at this, it didn't stick to the dog at all.
13:46 Let me probably add a little bit more of this here.
13:49 Wish it would've given me measurements.
13:57 Probably could've got a little bit better batter.
14:00 All right, there goes nothing.
14:04 It's supposed to cook about three minutes.
14:15 So it's a nice brown.
14:18 Starts to brown.
14:20 Probably need five minutes, three to five minutes.

14:32 (sizzling)
14:34 (sizzling)
14:36 (sizzling)
14:38 (sizzling)
15:07 Let me turn these around.
15:10 Turn the dogs around.
15:16 Cook on other side now.
15:19 Even though the batter didn't stick.
15:21 Hopefully it'll come out halfway decent.
15:25 (sizzling)
15:28 (sizzling)
15:30 Wow, look at that shit.
15:56 Fell right off, goddammit.
15:58 It didn't stick.
16:03 It didn't really stick.
16:04 All right.
16:07 All right, let this rest for a minute or two.
16:11 Pat down both sides with paper towels.
16:15 The batter didn't stick.
16:16 The batter did not stick.
16:19 All right, here goes nothing.

16:42 This is my first attempt at Flamin' Hot Cheetos,
16:47 corn dogs, and well, there you have it.
16:50 The batter didn't stick.
16:55 All right, here goes nothing.
16:56 The batter failed.
17:10 The batter failed, kind of like the Mets.
17:13 (sighing)
17:15 That's why if you send me a recipe,
17:26 please send me the measurements.
17:28 Things I can throw in just with my eyes
17:30 or things I've cooked for many times.
17:33 So if you know what went wrong, tell me,
17:36 and I'll try to make it again down the road.
17:39 Overall, I would say that this is definitely a strikeout.
17:44 I failed.
17:47 I failed again.
17:48 And redemption will come one day,
17:50 just like it did with the ribs.
17:52 Till next time, monger, monger.
17:55 Bon appetit.
17:57 Let's eat.
