FunTranscript
00:00 What are the layers here? It's a cranberry oat bar. So it's an oat base with a cranberry compote
00:06 and then brown sugar oat topping with white chocolate and I'm gonna add some almonds.
00:10 And I don't know if this is a good strategy to combat all the dryness that John complains about
00:14 because bars are kind of supposed to be dry. The cake itself is a little dry. Cake's a little dry
00:18 but now it's dry so he also suffers from some serious dryness. It's a little dry. And now
00:24 cookies? Now a little white chocolate gingerbread men. Oh they'll go on top of the bar? Welcome
00:29 to the Junt Christmas Party 2023. And look a giant freaking reindeer. I can't believe we did
00:36 a giant freaking reindeer. This is from my private collection and I actually asked John is it okay
00:40 if I bring this deer because I know how much he hates deer. Didn't he have a reindeer downstairs
00:45 that Gloria found during Saturday? We do it's a work I mean I could bring it out. This is this
00:49 was my guy. Come on tell me that's not fun. It's fun this is great. Did John make a big vat of
00:56 the balls? Santa got my Christmas list earlier this year. Are you gonna play the piano? I think
01:01 I might play a little Christmas carol.
01:07 La la la la la la la la la la. Don we now are gay apparel.
01:16 [Music]
01:44 Keith have you ever seen a false graft plate with a Christmas tree on it? I have today. There's a
01:47 first for everything. How much does it set you back? 350 big ones. Jesus. False graft plates
01:53 with a little Christmas tree pattern. John had mentioned in the past it's a very rare false
01:57 graft plate it's the only one he doesn't have. I don't have a single one. I actually was gonna
02:02 try to buy one for the show I couldn't even source one piece of it. If anybody out there
02:07 in the world happens to find a stash of dishes that look like this but have Christmas trees on
02:11 them they finally popped up and and around Christmas time. No too spendy that's too much.
02:19 And he won't buy it. So they're my false graft now. So we got the 10 inch plate. These cute
02:26 little mugs you can put whole milk in. 2023 selections. Recently we've been eating a lot
02:32 of charleston chews so I made a hot chocolate candle cake that's supposed to look like a candle
02:37 like a Christmas candle. A tempered chocolate frame around it with stars and then I spray
02:41 painted it with spray paint. I really like that this light is still here all these years later.
02:49 Cobwebs and all. Cobwebs and all. With the original dust. Hey John. All set. We took all
02:55 our clothes off. Is he coming? He'll be there in one minute. Happy birthday. So first look at the
03:02 plates. They're so beautiful. Worth 350 big ones? No not at all. The false graft Christmas collection.
03:08 And mug. Well I guess I'm gonna start with this one before it blows up. It's a c4 cake.
03:13 Oh it's quite hard. I would like a knife. And it's with this knife that I will cut the steak
03:17 of a cake. Steak or cake like that that meme for some reason. This one is quite unusual. Jesus.
03:23 I've never had to do this before. Disqualified? No. The challenge makes it more delicious. I
03:28 don't know what it is at all. It's very boozy. Boozy and dry. Not boozy. And too boozy for me.
03:35 Interesting. Brownie-tastic. Oh it's interesting. It's like a brownie but it's a little bit
03:38 different. Scowling. I don't know why the outside was quite so hard. What temperature is it? It's
03:43 good. It's delicious. What temperature is it? It's good temperature. Slightly cool. Very good.
03:48 Brownie-tastic. Good temperature. A little. Not boozy. Cleanse that palate. That milk is good.
03:55 Especially drank out of that very expensive cup. I do love the cup. What do we have here? A very
04:00 boozy. Temperature is room. I can't quite figure out what it is. Nope you can't. Well you're two
04:08 for two tonight John. It's a lemon poppy seed cake I believe. It is not. No? Don't say Meredith.
04:14 Even though one of us brought a special plate and told John about it beforehand. Well look,
04:18 can I ask you this? Is it brownie-tastic? I can't identify what the main flavor is. It's some kind
04:23 of vegetable and I can't pinpoint it. Radish. No. Zucchini-ish? Like squash-ish? Parsnip. Arugula?
04:30 I can't. A nice Christmas turnip cake. I'm gonna try this one here next. I see it's been served
04:34 with a little side of ice cream. It's called cheating. How do you like the plate? No crazing
04:39 as far as I could tell. I've got my high-powered inspection light here. If I shine a really bright
04:45 light on it, you can see all of those crack lines and that is the glaze cracking and that means that
04:53 water and food can seep into those cracks. Very nice Christmas tree ice cream. Thank you. That's
05:00 a very cute, professionally looking uh. With the decoration. Yeah, very cute. It's got a nice flavor
05:04 too. Now do you remember that we went and bought fresh cranberries from the cranberry fest? I do.
05:08 Aha, cranberries. Nina said we should just eat these straight out of the bag. I did not say that.
05:13 The cranberries come through. I'll eat cranberries. But the dish isn't very sweet. We had it on good
05:16 authority that you didn't like things that were too sweet. Oh it's it's way too sweet. Too sweet
05:20 man. They're um too sweet and too you know. Sweet. A little too sweet. Too sweet, a little boozy and dry.
05:27 Um I like it. I think it did actually need more sugar but with some ice cream I think it actually
05:32 pairs really nice. And there's some kind of cake she threw together over there. I don't know what
05:34 it is but it's on a second plate that we also bought for $350. I really like the presentation
05:40 of that. I mean look if I win a $10 gift certificate after what I paid. Yeah I know. Nina says this is a
05:45 spice cake. It's nice. A nice basic spice cake. Throw some ice cream on it. Nice and white. It is very
05:51 beautifully decorated. It is. She couldn't be here she had a child at home. Yeah I'm sorry to hear
05:55 that. Yeah. Thank you Nina. Seems like a nut bar. I'm impressed with how many entries there are this
05:59 year. Can it be cut with a fork? Mineral and vegetable? You can. It's really good. It's like a pecan pie bar
06:06 kind of. I feel like everyone that's not that pecan bar might be in trouble. Very good. I'm gonna try
06:11 this one. Brownie of some kind. A lot going on. A lot going on. It's so chocolatey. Holy. Holy crap.
06:18 It really is like so chocolatey that's making me wince a little. I don't know how you do that.
06:23 Making you real thirsty? Are we talking like dark chocolate? What are we talking? Just intense
06:28 chocolate. I've never had anything so chocolatey. I don't know what you'd do. It's more chocolatey
06:32 than just eating chocolate. It's so chocolatey that it's got like a bitter like a real bitter
06:37 note when you go into it and it's a little intense. I mean a vanilla ice cream would probably go great
06:41 with this. It would really shut that brownie up. A nice big cake. It's a good tapajou. He couldn't
06:47 eat it but instead he just touches it. My fingers say it's delicious. Well. It's very good. I don't know
06:52 exactly what it is. Like what kind of cake? It's not like a carrot cake. Banana cake maybe? Another
06:57 one of these mystery vegetables. The frosting's really nice. It's really light which I really
07:01 appreciate. Sometimes frostings can really overwhelm. Okay. I like this one. I like it a lot.
07:06 I'm ready to start eliminating. Oh wait there's one more submission. No. So Little Debbie.
07:10 With a little bit of the Little Debbie ice cream. We have a Little Debbie cake with a Petit Debra
07:16 ice cream. Yay. Let me do some initial sorting okay. Three prizes. $21, $11, and $6. I like it.
07:25 Inflation. I'm gonna make some tiers here. Okay we have this one. Do you need like a tier list maker?
07:29 Hey what's going on guys? Today we're gonna rank my friends desserts. FreshBakes algorithm likes
07:33 when you do this so like and subscribe. Seems like none of these are right out. Now go easy on my
07:37 plates now. Did you pay for them or did Red Cow pay for them? Red Cow paid for them. Okay. I know
07:40 I'm freaking out but I'm trying to be. Trying to be fair. He wants to put each dessert in a part of
07:46 his mouth simultaneously and then chew all at the same time and then make a final decision. What kind
07:50 of milk is this? What's going on here? Milk. It's one whole dairy. It's really good. The whole milk
07:54 stays. Maybe the whole milk needs to go. Nope the whole milk stays. The thing that needs to go.
07:59 No the whole milk stays. Here's my final verdict. We have seven entries okay. In seventh place with
08:05 the cranberries. It just did not have enough sweetness. It doesn't really qualify as a dessert.
08:09 There's almost no sugar in it. In sixth this intensely chocolate one. Second to last. It's
08:14 just too intensely chocolatey and the texture is too dense. With some ice cream it would be really
08:19 good. You have no idea why it's so chocolatey? Well I know why it's chocolatey. I don't know why
08:22 the texture turned out the way it was. Oh. Why is it so chocolatey? Because I put a lot of chocolate
08:27 in it. Oh story checks out. He says it's the chocolatey-est thing he's ever. I think it's
08:31 probably the sweetest. This one's next and I liked it but it's got a weird vegetably taste to it that
08:37 I can't pin down. It's beets. Beets. Okay let me tell you it is the number one beet dessert I've
08:45 ever had. Zero. Okay. What inspired a beet based dessert? I was watching one of those cooking
08:52 challenges show and they're like the secret ingredient is beets and I was like I can make
08:55 a cake out of that. Yeah. And you said Joe will probably love this. My wife lost to beets?
09:00 In fourth this spice cake. It's very good. It's very basic. It's just your everyday common spice
09:08 cake. It's nice but nothing spectacular. In third the brownie creation which I must assume is
09:14 Matthew's. What gave it away? The beautiful uh this is actually lovely. Um. It's toxic. It's
09:19 the stuff they use in Mad Max. The presentation was nice but the cutting experience was a little
09:24 weird. You're gonna be judged on every dimension. Yeah. Including cut. Yeah. The cutting experience.
09:28 What was our most recently decided favorite chocolate? Oh Heath Bar. No. The other one.
09:34 Whoppers? Alright you two wrap it up. So it's a hot chocolate cake so it's a chocolate uh brownie
09:41 with a marshmallow buttercream and I also put some of that tempered chocolate into with the
09:46 frosting because I wanted it to look like. What did it look like to you? It just looked like a
09:51 cool. What was it supposed to look like? A Charleston trio I guess. A Christmas candle.
09:57 That's why it was lit when I gave it to you. Six bucks. I loved it. Six bucks. This cake is very
10:04 good. This is the second place. What kind of cake is it? It is a hummingbird cake. It is the original
10:08 frosting to go with the Waldorf Astoria red velvet cake. It is made with a rue.
10:14 But the number one for this year is this delicious pecan bar. Number one. Number one. It is really
10:22 good. I love pecan pie. I've never had a pecan bar before. This is really good. That is the winner
10:27 for this year. Wonderful entries everyone. First prize for Lisa. First for Val. And third for Matthew.
10:34 I kind of can't believe I placed at all. You did it. My cake wasn't last. I got a card. You think
10:39 maybe you could have saved the cost of the card and just gave that money to me instead? The cards
10:43 are from China. Third prize. This is probably, I thought that these were like something that you
10:49 had bought and put on for decoration, which did make it a very nice presentation. But now that
10:53 I've learned that Nina has actually made these, I don't know exactly what they are either. They're
10:57 like white chocolate something or other. Yeah, they're very good. If they had been entered on
11:00 their own. It would have ranked higher. I think it's time for one of my favorite time-honored
11:05 traditions of the John Hunt Christmas party every year. And that is my favorite game,
11:12 What's in the Couch. I hate this game. I feel like you have doped the couch. All right, let's see.
11:17 I don't know what you're talking about, Jonathan. Okay. You have don't want to look our best. A
11:21 little pants. A little snack. Oh, some masks. Okay. A Rubik's Cube. That's the time. Where'd
11:27 you get this one, John? This is all sliples and slander. He planted this joke a lot. Carrot top
11:31 over here. Hooray. Hey, I'm David Bowie. He's still doing the bed. Four alarm fire.
11:38 Did anyone have a light? I can't believe you're videoing. Why give me the attention?
