00:00 It was like the most petty like little teen fight ever.
00:04 And you guys were both so... everyone was overheated.
00:06 We were fuming, fuming.
00:08 And we hadn't eaten anything. It was just alcohol.
00:11 After two seasons and 20 episodes, it is finally time to pull back the curtain
00:17 and show you guys what really happens on Iconic Eats.
00:21 I have director of photography...
00:23 Chelsea, that's my name.
00:27 And producer Julia. And myself, of course, Adriana, the host of Iconic Eats.
00:32 And we are going to do a BTS and answer all your burning questions.
00:37 A week ago, Julia asked me what were my favorite cocktails from the past two seasons.
00:47 And so I picked... she asked me three.
00:49 So I picked three and they're gonna give us two.
00:52 Justin has made them for us.
00:55 Do you remember what this one is from? That's the question for you.
00:58 Do you remember what this cocktail is from?
01:00 Okay, so just based on looks alone, is it Star Wars related?
01:04 No! That's a good guess though.
01:06 Okay, well now he's putting a thing of mint in there.
01:10 What does it make you think it is now?
01:12 It makes me think that I need to pay attention a little bit more.
01:16 Okay, we have two seasons, 20 episodes, so obviously it's from an episode.
01:21 Maybe a significant episode?
01:25 They're all important and significant.
01:27 What's the most important episode?
01:30 This is the most important episode.
01:32 I mean, I know it's the most important, but it's a significant episode.
01:35 What would be the most significant episode?
01:38 Episode one?
01:39 Oh!
01:40 Episode one!
01:42 Perfect.
01:44 We have the Pinot Verde, which is one of our cocktails from the very first episode.
01:50 Cheers!
01:51 Cheers!
01:52 The Mardi Gras episode.
01:53 A pina colada, but it has green chartreuse.
01:56 I feel like I couldn't say that back then either.
01:59 No.
02:00 Apparently it's very fancy. I'm supposed to put my pinky up when I drink it.
02:03 Green chartreuse is made by monks in France somewhere.
02:06 I've never heard of green chartreuse, but this is going to be a very enlightening experience.
02:12 It was our first day meeting each other!
02:14 Yeah.
02:15 So, B, if you guys don't know, I did not meet Julia or Chelsea before episode one.
02:20 So, walking into Universal Studios for the first time was the first time I ever met them.
02:26 I flubbed on that shake so hard I did not know what to say.
02:30 I was so shook.
02:31 And then we came and I had my first drink.
02:33 This was probably my second drink.
02:34 And then I started loosening up and the episode got real good.
02:37 I think you chugged it, so I don't remember tasting it.
02:40 Oh, I did.
02:41 Because I was so nervous.
02:42 I was like, "Oh my gosh.
02:43 It's my first day at work and these guys are going to think I'm an idiot."
02:46 Because I was just like, "I'm the-"
02:48 This is the Cajun-
02:49 Blah, blah, blah.
02:50 This is the Cajun-
02:52 And so, as soon as they gave me alcohol, I was like, "Ow!"
02:55 We have all the questions from the audience on here.
02:58 I posted two community tab posts on YouTube and y'all commented down below questions.
03:03 And then Adriana and I selected the ones that we thought were the most fun and concise as well.
03:10 Sorry, some of you guys had very wordy questions.
03:12 Katelyn Ashley Padilla 7264 asked, "How much preparation goes into making all of these theme park videos?"
03:22 So, we have preparation for the entire season.
03:25 We go through, Adriana and I, we'll go through and pick which parks we really want to go to that year.
03:31 We put them together as if we were going to bat shoot them.
03:34 So, we'll put like-
03:35 We're like, "We want to go to these three parks and they're all in California."
03:38 And then from there, we're then reaching out.
03:40 So, I would say it was, "How long does it take?"
03:43 Weeks.
03:44 Um, it's like three months.
03:46 Yeah.
03:47 Three months out from the shoot date.
03:49 So, then you're not seeing the video for up to five weeks even.
03:54 So, maybe five months total for one episode from like Adriana saying, "I really want to go here," to it happening to the video going live.
04:03 Corella Doll 2051 asked, "Do you look up reviews on food prior to trying different things?"
04:10 Yes and no.
04:12 Um, it depends on what it is.
04:14 So, um, for some theme parks, I have been there quite a bit.
04:19 I don't really need to look up a review on the individual food item because I'm just well versed on it.
04:24 Even if I've never tried that particular item, I know where it is in the park.
04:28 Um, so I kind of want to be surprised.
04:30 But other theme parks that I've never been to, like Sesame Street, or Sesame Place, we had never been to Sesame Place before.
04:36 So, I did look up reviews just on how to navigate the park or like what kind of food they had.
04:42 But like individual food reviews, not really because I kind of want to like have a fresh opinion.
04:48 I will say that sometimes I look up reviews because I just want to know what I'm going to be eating during the shoot.
04:54 Also, Adriana studies.
04:56 Like every single shoot that we go to, the biggest thing we hear from the crew that we're working with that's from those parks is,
05:03 "She knows where everything is and she'll be able to recite like all."
05:08 Even though you don't ride rides, you don't ride coasters, you know exactly when each coaster was built,
05:13 what it's made out of, and like how fast it goes.
05:16 Like you might not research the exact food item that you're reviewing, but you research the whole part.
05:21 I do do a lot of research beforehand because I want to know like what we're going to see.
05:26 I want to know points to talk about.
05:27 Like the show is about the food, but it's also about like your full-on experience when you get there.
05:31 And I want to be able to give you like a full insight into the park.
05:34 And so, you know, like I'm having a good time.
05:36 Stephanie Breslin 3466 asks, "What does everyone eat prior to shooting?
05:42 Do you guys start with an empty stomach or a light breakfast?"
05:45 I can answer for Chelsea.
05:47 Oh no.
05:48 I was going to be like, "What is Julia going to say about this?"
05:52 So what Chelsea likes to have before is a grande vanilla latte that is hot even when it's hot outside.
06:02 There's very few times she gets an iced coffee.
06:04 If she does, that means it's very hot out and she's melting.
06:07 And she makes sure that it only has one pump of vanilla in it.
06:10 She ends up having like a kind bar or some sort of granola bar about an hour into shooting.
06:16 She won't eat it before because she says it's going to make her stomach hurt.
06:18 So she waits until we're on to like the first or second food item.
06:21 She goes, "My tummy hurts." And she has that.
06:24 Let me just say, on behalf of both Adriana and I and show aside, Julia is producing our lives.
06:31 [laughter]
06:33 Yeah, like we-- she has us down to a size.
06:36 And Adriana doesn't drink coffee in the morning.
06:38 She usually gets like a tea or a water.
06:40 But you-- but do you-- I don't know about-- like do you eat or drink anything in your hotel room when you're getting ready?
06:45 It depends on like what all we do.
06:47 So Julia makes these like really thorough time sheets of like what is going first.
06:53 And so like if it says I'm not eating like actual food until like 10.30, and most of the times our call times are like 6, 7 o'clock.
07:01 Then I will eat like something light, like maybe, you know, like a banana or like a granola bar.
07:07 Just so that like I have something on my stomach so I don't feel like woozy.
07:11 Because like I'm also giving you full energy at, you know, 7 o'clock in the morning on an empty stomach.
07:17 So I don't want to do that.
07:18 Another interesting thing is sometimes our first item is alcohol.
07:23 Just an interesting thing.
07:24 Yeah.
07:25 Yeah, so because-- okay, so when we're doing these shoots, a lot of times there's going to be a lot of people at the bar.
07:31 So they wanted to make sure that we get the full experience of being able to shoot with not a whole lot of people.
07:35 And so we'll get the drinks first.
07:37 The thumbnail might be a drink, and then I'm just going to go ahead and do the review.
07:41 Of course you are.
07:42 They're passing it on to me.
07:44 I can read.
07:45 Okay.
07:46 Next question comes from Corey Whiting 2456, who asks, "Is Iconic Eats always filmed over the course of one day,
07:55 or do you break it up into multiple shoots at one location?"
07:59 Sometimes Adriana's like, "I want to try all 34 items," in which case there's no way.
08:08 But if we do a smaller park or something like-- even like the Marvel episode, that was all one day.
08:13 Yeah.
08:14 Definitely depends on the weather, I think, too.
08:16 If it's really, really hot out, like-- wait, did we do Volcano Bay one day?
08:21 Yeah, we did.
08:22 We did Volcano Bay one day.
08:23 I was going to give that as the example of it's really, really hot out, we should have.
08:27 We should have.
08:28 Yeah, it definitely depends on the individual episode.
08:30 Like, King's Dominion was one day, and it was the most-- I think it was 37.
08:35 It was ridiculous.
08:36 That was a hard day.
08:37 And it was very hot.
08:38 It was like 92 degrees out.
08:39 And then after that, we learned our lesson, and we tried to break them up into two days.
08:43 But it really just depends.
08:44 So, like, The Wish was filmed in two, three days.
08:47 But I feel like that's good that someone's asking if it's filmed in one day.
08:50 It means that they can't necessarily tell that it's filmed in two days.
08:53 You'll never know.
08:54 Adriana also, she does her hair, makeup, nails, and, like, has to match it each day as well,
08:59 which is very impressive.
09:00 Continuity.
09:01 You know, you know.
09:03 Dedicated to the craft.
09:04 Jacob Martinez, PTX423 asks, "What is Julia's responsibility during these shoots?"
09:11 Since Adriana is the host and Chelsea records, does Julia babysit?
09:16 Love this show.
09:22 This one!
09:24 No, that's a baby.
09:25 I want an adult.
09:27 I'm not carrying that.
09:29 The job of producer sounds very confusing, because it's like, what are you doing?
09:37 You just look like you're standing there with a clipboard, which, honestly, sometimes,
09:41 if you do a good job as a producer, the day of the shoot, you really should just be standing
09:45 there with a clipboard, and things should just be running super smoothly.
09:49 That's never happened for me, that it's perfectly smooth.
09:52 But a lot of my work is on the pre-production sides.
09:55 I'll be, like, having the calls with all the different parks, figuring out timing, figuring
09:59 out the schedule, working with Adriana, just constantly working as, like, a liaison.
10:03 On a good day, if I'm not having, if we're not having many issues, I am just babysitting
10:09 and chilling with you guys, and, like, I just have my wet naps ready and make sure that
10:13 Adriana is, like, as prepared as possible.
10:15 Hold on.
10:16 You are underselling what you have prepared in your book bag.
10:20 There is a first aid kit, there is sunscreen, there is bug spray, there is, like, wristbands
10:25 for if you get seasick or carsick.
10:28 There is burn cream, there's CBD oil for your muscles, there's granola bars if you're gonna
10:33 get shaky.
10:34 The reason why this ship is moving...
10:38 Julia.
10:39 Yeah, it's Julia.
10:40 The show doesn't run without Julia, quite literally.
10:42 I never knew what a producer did until, like, we started doing this show, and she literally
10:46 does everything from, you know, helping create the menu to the day of execution.
10:52 Guys, I'm kind of feeling it.
10:54 Give me your finished drinks.
10:55 What are you talking about?
10:56 This was boozy.
10:57 Give me this.
10:58 You don't think it's boozy?
10:59 I thought it was really boozy.
11:00 Oh, you think it is boozy?
11:01 Yeah, he was like, "Oh, it's not that boozy."
11:02 Well, you didn't finish yours.
11:03 This is the lightweight of the group.
11:05 That is so true.
11:06 It is, it's very much true.
11:07 Half a beer.
11:08 Woo!
11:09 That's why she loved beer so much.
11:10 You know what?
11:11 I'm fine.
11:12 What is this drink, and where is it from?
11:14 Why is everybody putting me on the spot?
11:17 Thank you, Justin.
11:19 Here's a hint.
11:20 Bon appétit.
11:21 Yeah.
11:22 Think about that.
11:23 Oh, that might have been a little harder.
11:25 She might have.
11:26 Wait, wait, wait.
11:29 I might have surprised you, and I might have actually gotten a whiff of a clue.
11:33 What?
11:34 Was it an Epcot?
11:35 Yes.
11:36 Yes!
11:37 There you go.
11:38 Okay.
11:39 Justin.
11:40 Which episode?
11:41 The Italian one.
11:42 The Italian one?
11:43 Flower and Garden.
11:44 Flower and Garden.
11:45 This is the Lavion Rose from the France Pavilion in Epcot.
11:52 This is my literal favorite drink.
11:54 Oh, Justin.
11:55 Justin, I'm going to judge you harshly.
11:57 This is my favorite drink in the entire world.
12:00 I mean, I pinkied out.
12:01 He did a really good job.
12:03 Oh!
12:04 Sir!
12:05 This tastes just like it, right?
12:07 It does.
12:08 And I made a little joke off camera.
12:10 I was like, "Oh, my color looks off because I'm a little bit of an Epcot snob."
12:13 But no.
12:14 First off, after the dust settled, it is a little bit darker than normal, but the flavor
12:21 is spot on.
12:23 It tastes like this refreshing, rosy, floral drink.
12:31 It's kind of hard to explain, but it's really good.
12:34 Ashae Morris asked, "Does Adriana do her own hair, nails, and makeup?
12:39 What about her outfits and accessories?"
12:41 This is the only time I've never done my own hair.
12:44 Somebody else did it for me.
12:45 But for every episode of Iconic that you have ever seen, I do my own hair and my own makeup.
12:51 So I normally have to wake up about two hours before I call time.
12:54 So sometimes we have to be there at 7 or 8.
12:57 So two hours before then, I get up and I make sure that my hair and makeup is absolutely
13:03 perfect.
13:04 The sun is not out yet.
13:05 It is dark.
13:06 Can you tell them what you listen to when you get ready?
13:07 Oh.
13:08 I listen to metal music while I get ready.
13:10 It really ramps me up.
13:12 Metal music from her hotel room.
13:14 Yeah.
13:15 It's really loud at 4 o'clock in the morning.
13:16 It's just like, "Raaah."
13:17 Okay.
13:18 Outfits and accessories.
13:19 Okay.
13:20 So just like the show takes a little bit of weeks of planning, my outfit and accessories
13:24 does as well.
13:25 So for the most part, I know where we're going a couple, at least three weeks in advance.
13:32 Sometimes there's an episode every now and again where I'm like, "Oh, I'm just getting
13:36 ready."
13:37 But I kind of know the theme.
13:39 So for Sesame Place, I had someone make that Cookie Monster dress.
13:45 For Busch Gardens Williamsburg, I knew I wanted to be a little mushroom princess, so I had
13:50 found that mushroom dress.
13:51 You are like a woodland fairy.
13:54 I feel like a woodland fairy mushroom queen.
13:59 I kind of like to stick to the theme of whatever the park is or pull from that.
14:05 That's always been my dream of I wanted to dress on theme.
14:10 I love teachers that dress on theme and have all rainbow outfits, but I'm a teacher for
14:15 theme parks.
14:16 Your background is in fashion.
14:17 Yeah.
14:18 Oh, yeah.
14:19 I have a degree in fashion design, but I'm always thinking about clothes and what to
14:28 wear and how to style it.
14:32 So that's my passion is to really be fashionable.
14:35 I have a couple of favorite outfits.
14:37 Ooh, yeah.
14:38 Favorite outfits of Adriana's.
14:39 So, I mean, you mentioned Busch Gardens, which is an absolute delight.
14:43 A woodland creature.
14:44 Because it's extra cute and drinking scotch, hilarious.
14:47 But no, I think I'm a toss up between the Mickey's Not So Scary episode, because I love
14:54 Halloween.
14:55 Oh my gosh.
14:56 The outfit change was incredible.
14:57 That dress everywhere we went, one, it's Chelsea with her camera, a huge light and Adriana
15:03 and a whole crew.
15:04 Every time we went anywhere that night, people were like.
15:07 Yeah.
15:08 The outfit change, it was like, I mean, first, like.
15:10 They wanted your signature.
15:12 People didn't even know who you were.
15:14 Should we get an autograph?
15:16 I felt like a princess that night.
15:18 But Minions.
15:20 Oh, I love my Minions outfit.
15:22 That was cute.
15:23 That was really cute.
15:24 We all got to match.
15:25 For Super Nintendo World, I really wanted that little mushroom purse.
15:30 And I had that thought in my head.
15:32 And so I Googled it and tried to find it.
15:34 And I did not find a purse.
15:36 I found a lunchbox.
15:37 So then I bought the hardware to put a strap on it and made it into a crossbody purse.
15:43 Which was cute.
15:44 Yeah.
15:45 I feel like if you can't find the exact thing you want, you either find someone who can
15:48 make it or you make it yourself.
15:50 Yeah.
15:51 Which is kind of how I started with my own social media.
15:54 I couldn't afford all of these super nice things.
15:56 So then I would DIY it and make it and find it for the cheap.
15:59 And so I just brought that on as we continued to do the show.
16:03 But it's so fun and magical.
16:05 I really enjoyed my SeaWorld San Diego outfit.
16:09 Just because my nails matched perfectly to the dress.
16:12 My friend custom made those nails after looking at a picture of the dress.
16:16 So I just really enjoyed the overall theme of that outfit.
16:21 If I had to pick a favorite, when we went to Greece for Virgin Voyages, the blue two-piece outfit.
16:30 It just felt very much like Grecian goddess.
16:33 And I love wearing that outfit.
16:35 That was my favorite.
16:37 I love that.
16:38 I feel like you're the theme park Miss Frizzle.
16:40 Yeah.
16:41 I've heard that phrase like, "Yes, perfect."
16:43 Yes!
16:44 Oh no, absolutely.
16:45 She's 110% the inspiration.
16:47 Like, Mrs. Frizzle is the blueprint.
16:50 Amy Parrott 9204 says, "What were your best and worst or funniest moments that have happened off camera?"
16:58 That's a lot of best, funniest, and worst.
17:01 Yeah.
17:02 Those are three very different categories.
17:04 Nose goes.
17:05 I feel like some of us can each pick one, whether it's best, worst, or funniest.
17:11 Happened off camera is the important part.
17:13 Okay.
17:14 Does anyone have one that comes up to mind?
17:15 I do.
17:16 Okay, go.
17:17 Oh no.
17:18 It wasn't the worst.
17:19 It was for me.
17:20 She goes straight for the worst.
17:21 It was.
17:22 I mean, in the moment, I was like, "Oh my God."
17:24 But after I think of it, every time I think about it, it gives me a chuckle in my soul.
17:28 Which one?
17:29 So there is a very infamous fight in the Bahamas in Castaway Cay.
17:35 I am excited we are at Disney's Castaway Cay.
17:40 But I gotta go change.
17:42 Put on my baby suit.
17:44 I can't believe we're talking about that right now.
17:46 Somebody wanted to go swim in the ocean, and I wanted to go get tacos.
17:52 Can I make a confession?
17:54 Yeah.
17:55 I'm sad.
17:56 I'm sad because this is the last little bit of our trip.
18:00 Do you want to drink your drink in the water?
18:03 Okay, you can do that.
18:05 That'll make it better.
18:06 Okay.
18:07 This is the life.
18:13 And Julia was in the middle trying to keep everybody happy.
18:16 I do want to say that this ship was very tight.
18:19 When we shot The Wish, we only had three days to shoot this huge ship.
18:24 So we literally had no time to ourselves.
18:27 It was just like, once we got off work at 5 o'clock, it was like, maybe we got a couple hours to do something.
18:32 Go to sleep, wake up, do it again.
18:34 So we had a break built in.
18:37 And I just wanted to go get on the ship and go get tacos, but Chelsea wanted to swim in the ocean.
18:43 If I've seen one ocean, I've seen a million of them.
18:45 Please don't judge me.
18:46 I just don't.
18:47 I got you in the ocean.
18:49 It was beautiful.
18:50 She doesn't like sea creatures, and we got her in.
18:52 You do not care about the water at all.
18:54 I don't care about the water.
18:55 So anyway, it was a very funny-- and it was on a golf cart, too.
19:00 It was on a golf cart.
19:02 You guys were just like, "I want to do this, and I want to do this."
19:06 It was like the most petty little scene fight ever.
19:10 And you guys were both so-- everyone was overheated.
19:12 We were fuming.
19:14 And we hadn't eaten anything.
19:16 It was just alcohol, and you guys were exhausted.
19:19 I think that Castaway Key, specifically, as far as what is my hardest, maybe worst shoot, it looks beautiful.
19:29 It's stunning.
19:30 Also, one of my favorite-- when I look back at what we captured, it's beautiful.
19:36 It's like crystal water, whatever.
19:38 You cannot capture the heat and humidity.
19:43 My body was a bayou.
19:46 And I was so mad, and I was so gross, and I was like, "If you don't get me in that water right now, I'm going to move low."
19:53 Well, because I remember your camera kept sliding off of you because we were so sweaty, and your camera overheated twice.
19:59 Best off-camera, funniest off-camera.
20:02 I'm trying to think.
20:04 Okay, when we shot "Kings and Minions," "Bush Gardens," and "Sesame Place," we had a road trip.
20:11 And on that road trip, there's a few things that were my favorite, that were the best.
20:15 One was we got to stop in a random town, and we watched a lot of country folk doing karaoke.
20:22 We went to a dive bar, and we had so much fun because it was like--
20:26 This was my hometown in Pennsylvania.
20:29 Yeah, we were in Chelsea's hometown, and it was very adorable.
20:32 My other favorite moment was you guys got to come to my house and meet my mom and all my dogs.
20:38 And we had limoncello!
20:40 My mom made limoncello, you guys got to have limoncello.
20:42 And on that trip was when we got to do our spa day.
20:45 Oh, right.
20:46 Oh, yeah, we did have a really, really fun spa day, where we went to this nice spa in Virginia Beach.
20:52 It was quite literally one of the fanciest things I've ever done.
20:55 I've never done that.
20:56 I feel like we're always sweaty and disgusting around each other, so it was nice to have a moment of like, "Hey."
21:01 That was a great trip.
21:03 We were near my hometown, so Sesame Place is in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
21:07 That is actually where I grew up.
21:09 And actually, my sister was like-- I think she worked in the parade in high school at Sesame Place,
21:15 and that's a whole other thing.
21:16 But I ended up taking them to my favorite restaurants that I was a hostess.
21:21 Oh, that was cute!
21:22 Growing up.
21:23 JLmar53 says, "My wife wants to know where Adriana gets her outfits."
21:28 Like I said, a little bit of everywhere.
21:29 Sometimes somebody makes them for me for the majority of the outfits that people truly, truly love.
21:35 I get them from the same place, which is Unique Vintage, which is where this outfit is from as well.
21:40 They have a great range of clothes, and they're really pretty and girly.
21:46 And for anybody else who is plus size, just like me, who is looking for nice clothes, that's where I get them from.
21:54 This is a great handle too.
21:56 Catattack_3 asks, "Forget food. How do you handle all the alcohol?"
22:01 Do I? Do we?
22:03 She don't.
22:04 I don't.
22:05 I think it's really funny that you got the alcohol question.
22:10 So, Chelsea pretty much drinks.
22:13 She's my beer lady.
22:14 Yep.
22:15 She pretty much drinks beer.
22:17 She can have maybe one alcoholic beverage before she is three sheets to the wind.
22:24 While me and Julia...
22:25 She's like...
22:26 Yeah.
22:27 Living her best life.
22:28 Yeah.
22:29 Me and Julia can drink a little bit more, but I normally end up finishing.
22:33 You and your partner, John, we got to meet him and go on the Virgin Voyages together.
22:38 [Dramatic music]
22:41 [Ding]
22:42 The two of you together, it was incredible the way that you guys can toss back shots.
22:52 And Chelsea and I were sitting there with our little martinis, and we'd be like, "So what are you doing?"
22:58 And they'd be like...
22:59 And then they'd be ordering another one, but also just sitting there being like, "Yeah, we don't know."
23:03 And I'm like, "How are you in the same conversation as us with six shots in you?"
23:07 I don't know.
23:08 Oh, this is a great...
23:09 Okay, next question.
23:10 Jennifer Braun, 2654, says, "Out of the three of you, who finishes most of the alcoholic drinks?"
23:19 I do.
23:21 None of us end up being hungover for the shoot the next day, which is always the impressive thing.
23:25 Stay hydrated, my friends.
23:27 Stay hydrated.
23:28 Carla Martinez-EU1HG.
23:32 That's a lot.
23:34 "How do you guys recover from all of that food, heat, and walking? If I was y'all, I'd be dead."
23:41 You have to have great shoes.
23:42 If you notice, Adrienne is never in a heel or anything.
23:46 You're always in a sneaker, right?
23:48 Yeah, a sneaker or a boot.
23:50 It's a lot of steps.
23:52 That's also if anybody's like, "How do you handle all your alcohol?"
23:54 I'm literally burning it off as I'm drinking.
23:56 Oh, we've gotten like 22,000 steps in a matter of a few hours.
24:01 The recovering from all that food, you end up taking a few bites.
24:05 If you love the item, you'll finish it.
24:07 But otherwise, we're splitting it between us, and then we have a crew that works with us in each park.
24:12 So we're really not eating that much food.
24:15 We end up eating a full, like right after the shoot ends, we have a full meal.
24:20 I can't believe you eat after, like you're sweating your food out.
24:24 All right, so this is going to be our last question before--
24:27 Well, no, this is one of our last questions.
24:29 Then we have like a grand finale.
24:31 I don't know what it is.
24:32 Finale.
24:33 Finale!
24:34 Okay, LRB9498 asked, "What are your dream theme parks to feature that you haven't been to yet?"
24:43 I want to go to Disneyland Paris, please.
24:48 Please.
24:50 And Tokyo.
24:52 Oh, yeah, and Tokyo.
24:54 The person who--the powers that be that decide where we go.
24:57 Julian.
24:58 I would like to go to Tokyo.
25:01 Julian.
25:02 And Paris.
25:03 I would love to do that, too.
25:04 I am working on it.
25:06 I'm just looking for funding from like any flight--
25:10 I was going to say, it's not a dream park, but you guys get really mad every time I want to go there.
25:15 Gatorland.
25:16 No.
25:17 I've been to Gatorland three times.
25:18 Anyone who's watching this video, just give a good Google of Gatorland and you'll understand.
25:23 The other one I really want to do is in Oregon.
25:25 It's like fairyland, and it's in the trees.
25:28 It looks so creepy.
25:29 I think, yeah, I think just going--again, going international.
25:32 I want to see--because it's also like everything that you think would be similar at all these other parts,
25:38 it's all like an international take on the food.
25:41 Like if you're a huge foodie or if you want to just see like another variation of like what theming could look like,
25:47 go abroad.
25:48 Just awesome.
25:49 Magic.
25:50 Love.
25:51 Magic.
25:52 Love.
25:53 The final one is not a question.
25:54 It is, "What is your peach and pit of the last two seasons?"
25:58 I thought people were like, "Oh, you always look so happy when you do these," and I am.
26:01 I am very happy.
26:02 This is--I am quite literally living my dream.
26:04 This is the best job I could have ever wanted.
26:07 But I also want to stress that sometimes I'm having like real-life issues while I'm doing these things.
26:14 I still have to be professional and like do my job.
26:16 And so I guess peach pit for me was our whole California trip.
26:21 I kind of was like--we had to postpone the California trip originally because my boyfriend was having some health issues,
26:28 and then while we were in California, I started having health issues.
26:32 And like nothing serious from--you know, I'm allergic to everything.
26:36 I have asthma and all of that.
26:38 But I didn't know at the time.
26:39 It was really scary, and I had wanted to go to California for so long.
26:44 So I like felt so conflicted.
26:46 Like I really want to be--I remember we were in Disneyland, and I was like--I like almost was about to cry.
26:51 Like I was like, "I'm so tired.
26:53 Like I just want to go home."
26:54 And for me, it sucked because I'm like, "I am quite literally in Disneyland."
26:58 Like this is like her--
26:59 Yeah.
27:00 It's like your dream to be there.
27:02 I need it.
27:03 But when you're not feeling well, you're not feeling well.
27:05 Yeah.
27:06 So it's like at the end of the day, we're still human, and like yes, it's a fun job to do.
27:11 But sometimes like life gets in the way.
27:12 So that was my peach pit.
27:14 Yeah, I loved doing that shoot, but you know, make sure you go to the doctor and get all your things done before you go on shoot.
27:20 Clareton D., if you would like to sponsor us.
27:23 Chills.
27:24 Oh, it's me.
27:25 Um, for--
27:26 For the pit or peach?
27:27 I'm going to start with the pit.
27:28 Okay.
27:29 You need to help me explain this.
27:31 Okay.
27:32 So yes, I am a filmmaker, la la la, but--
27:35 La la la la la.
27:37 Sound can be my arch nemesis, and whatever was going on in Volcano Bay, oh my God.
27:45 This is our very first water park episode.
27:49 I know, we've been to--
27:50 No, you're going to start from, "This is our very first water park episode."
27:54 This is our very first water park episode.
27:58 We have been to Universal-- What's wrong?
28:00 It was the hardest.
28:02 Okay, so everything was just like static, microphone.
28:06 I had to like have someone run back to the room and get me like a shotgun mic as a backup.
28:11 Like, I was full blown panic.
28:13 So in Volcano Bay, they have these things called Tapu Tapu, which are like, they're attached to like a giant satellite, essentially.
28:20 So they ping signals across the park, and basically it was interrupting like our frequency.
28:26 Something, I guess.
28:27 None of us know this, like we're figuring out as we go.
28:31 So like I'm literally trying to do my intro, and like Chelsea's like, "Nope, nope."
28:36 And I'm like, "What? You can't stop me in the middle of me talking."
28:39 And it just, it got disastrous, but we figured it out in the end, and the episode looks great.
28:44 I peach.
28:45 I mean, look, I love a good travel moment, and I think that Virgin Cruises was incredible.
28:51 My pit is Virgin Voyages. I got sick on the cruise.
28:59 We were three or four days in, the day before we started shooting.
29:03 I don't know what I got. No one else got it, but I was very sick.
29:08 Like, up all night, I was very pale and disgusting, and like I remember just crying,
29:15 because I had been working with Virgin on this shoot for so long.
29:19 Like a year.
29:20 Yeah.
29:21 Actually more than a year I've been working on that shoot, and I was just so excited for all of us.
29:25 I was so happy, and then we had a great first few days, and then as soon as we started shooting,
29:31 I got very ill.
29:33 You all were so excited, and I like can't come in.
29:35 I just looked like disgusting.
29:37 I walk in, I'm like, "Hey guys, let's roll."
29:39 You did it so well.
29:40 No, but you did it so well. I'm like, "Oh man."
29:43 I remember a few times like just being like, "I could pass out at any moment."
29:47 But I remember I was just sad, because I was like, "This is such a cool international moment for us,"
29:51 and I didn't get to like fully enjoy it the way that I wanted to.
29:55 But I feel like you guys got to enjoy it, which was good.
29:57 You know what was one of my peaches is one from your first episode,
30:00 when we got to go on the Mardi Gras.
30:03 Oh! I remember that!
30:06 It was our first episode together, and it wasn't planned that we got to go on the float,
30:12 the Mardi Gras float, which was super cool that Universal figured that out for us,
30:16 and like Chelsea with her camera being allowed to go up there is like...
30:19 Tossing beads!
30:20 That's very hard to get that kind of approval and clearance.
30:23 And it was just our first time all working together, and watching us all at the end of the day,
30:27 just like truly just like for a moment forgetting that we're shooting,
30:31 just like chucking beads at little kids.
30:34 Like at one point we were just like, like bazooka, like throwing beads at children,
30:40 but in a loving way.
30:42 Loving. Very loving.
30:43 That was like, I felt like that was such a nice moment, because it was like I could feel us like meshing
30:47 and like understanding each other, and I was like, that's nice.
30:50 I feel like we could talk about a peach and pit from each and every episode,
30:54 because these shoots are very difficult to do, but they're so rewarding.
31:00 Like I said before, like we're quite literally like living out our dreams.
31:03 Like I wanted to go on the Disney Wish so bad.
31:07 So while we did have a very infamous fight in the Bahamas,
31:10 I was a happy, happy camper on that trip.
31:14 Honestly, listen, it looks like we're having a great time, and we are, but work hard, play hard.
31:20 Well, guys, it has been an amazing two seasons.
31:23 I am hoping for many, many more.
31:26 Thank you guys so much for your questions.
31:28 Thank you for watching Iconic Eats.
31:30 Honestly, if you guys weren't watching it, we would not be able to do this show.
31:33 So thank you guys so much.
31:36 And just know that we read all, at least I do, I read every single comment you guys put on each and every video.
31:43 So please continue to comment, continue to watch, tell us where you want us to go,
31:47 because this is just as much your show as it is ours.
31:50 We will see you guys on another day, at another park, for another adventure.
31:56 Honestly, cheers guys.
31:58 Wonderful first two seasons.
32:00 Many more.
32:02 Oh no, I mean international though.
