 Hi, my name is Andrea and my name is Howard and we are with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food And we are here today with a taste test. We haven't done one of these in a long time. I miss them I miss tasting me too me too So today we're gonna be trying out some frozen dinners by famous chefs. I found these dinners at Walmart I'm not sure if they're available anywhere else or not But I picked them up for $5.94 each and what I've noticed I visited a few different Walmart's and they all Offer a different variety of the frozen meals, but we are going to be trying out four cheese macaroni from Chef Ramsay Guy Fieri's lasagna with pepperoni marinara sauce Andrew Zimmern's pulled pork mac and cheese and Cardi Brown's country fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy So here is the four cheese mac and cheese here. It is in the frozen state. We flip it over You can see how many calories are in it 530 calories 1110 milligrams of sodium and it says microwave it Vented for four and a half to five and a half minutes. I'm gonna go for five minutes Okay, so here is what it looks like after five minutes in the microwave and It's rested for one minute or two minutes as the instruction said One thing I forgot to mention to you all the four cheeses are mozzarella, Fontana Parmesan and Problom. So now we're gonna taste it Yum, I love macaroni and cheese. Oh, I'm ready to taste it All right, let's taste We're having a bit of a truck bit of trouble getting it out So it seems like the top layer of cheese is like a sheet of like slices of cheese not Like sprinkles because we kind of had to really dig in hard to get a scoop. Yes. I got a big taste. Yeah, me too. Okay. Cheers cheesy Little salty. It's not bad. I like it. It's not bad. So I'm trying to show you guys So it's not like a baked macaroni and cheese. It is more like a creamy macaroni and cheese it is a little salty and Honestly, I'm not Really into like really big noodles. I really like a smaller elbow noodle I'll take it all. Mm-hmm, but I know this is supposed to be like an elevated macaroni and cheese, but Creamy little salty. Yeah I probably should have maybe mixed it up first Instead of eating it as is out of the microwave. I don't know No, then the topping would would be the topping got all all stuck together though So the when I try to dig in the whole of macaroni and cheese is moving Yeah, it's trying to come out all in one piece. Yeah. Yeah, but what would you? Rank this on a scale of one to five five being the highest. I'd go with the three Yeah, I'd go with like a two or three on That one too. I don't know that I would repurchase this one. Would you I? Try again you try again. Yeah, I probably would not Okay, so let's go. Let's try the next one Okay, so the next one we're trying is Andrew Zimmer's pulled pork mac and cheese It says seasoned pork with caramelized onion sauce and elbow macaroni and cheese so this one has 420 calories 1310 milligrams of sodium you microwave it with the oh, no I'm sorry you lift the film on the bowl a little bit and then you microwave it for four minutes Stir it up microwave it for 30 seconds and let it sit for a minute or two and here is what it looks like in its frozen state Okay, so I just took this one out of the microwave and it is never going to look like this picture on the cover because you do have to stir it halfway through the cooking process and It is kind of even though it's been sitting for a minute. It's still kind of watery kind of loose, but it is you know heated up all the way and It appears to be ready to go. So we're gonna give it a try Okay, so in this one here, it looks like I don't know. It looks like mashed potatoes and gravy. Yeah, it really does But I'm gonna taste it. I'm sure you are you gonna taste it all together with a pork by itself all together I'm an all together guy. Okay. I'm gonna taste just the pork by itself. This one is looser Yeah, yeah I'm having some of the mashed potatoes and gravy. It's not Okay, cheers Hmm that pork has a Well got different flavors on there. You know what it tastes like to me What? It tastes like You know how pork has an old like it can taste old If you've had it in the fridge too long or the freezer too long it has this kind of a peculiar taste Mm-hmm. That's what it tastes like to me. I Mean, I think the flavor is good, but it tastes old It's not bad. I like that. It's kind of juicy. Yeah, you like juicier stuff Okay, now I didn't try the pasta yet in the caramelized onion sauce. So I think it's good. I Would give it a three like the other one, but I may Try and I may prefer this one more. I think I do too This one is to me it has more flavor even though the pork does taste a little funny to me It definitely has more flavor than the Gordon Ramsay mac and cheese. Yes. Oh Gordon Ramsay got taken down Okay, so we're gonna try the next one So now we are trying country kitchen fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy by Cardi Brown over here 410 calories 1,000 milligrams of sodium and this one is similar to the others that we try as far tried as far as Lift the film on the bowl slightly to vent it cook it for four minutes Lift the film and stir it and then microwave it for another minute So the only thing that I don't like about stirring up The food is I really am not one that really likes my food mixed up all together, but anyway, we're gonna go with it and Here is what it looks like in its frozen state Okay, so here is what it looks like right out of the microwave I am going to let this sit for a minute or two like it says and I forgot to mention this one is described as savory golden fried chicken Served on home style mashed potatoes topped with brown gravy and sweet corn kernels Okay, so we are about to try our third frozen meal as you can see we're in different clothes It's the next day because we could meet for frozen meals. I could try though. I'm sure you probably could So here we go All right, this one doesn't look too appetizing to me Now definitely doesn't look like the box and I'm not a huge fan of microwave chicken. So we will see here Okay, are you gonna try chicken or the other stuff for all of it all together let me try all together, okay? I'm gonna try to try the chicken but chicken just chicken just fell apart. I have a little piece of chicken here I got I got it all. Yes. Cheers Love breading on that chicken. I was about to say I got mostly breading. I don't think I got any chicken Let me try that's what fill off the really fill off the chicken Okay, I Got some more now and I've got some mashed potatoes and corn too Mmm, it's totally getting you chicken It's already a whole nugget thing I don't know what was left. I taste black pepper a lot, which I'm not a fan of I do taste the black pepper, but I do like Black pepper this one. I don't think this is good. It's the macaroni and cheese. Really? No, the born Ramsey No, no, they they what's with the alone? We had all the French onion one. Yes, the French onion I think it's my favorite so far. I should eat the corn Ramsey wait beat this one. Hmm. I Think I prefer this one out of the other two that we've had. I think it has I have more flavor Even though it's just ready Well, it has black pepper and other flavor. It's definitely more savory Even though the I didn't I don't think I got any chicken meat. I mean the breading was pretty good Try one more time. Yeah, I've got a whole nugget Let me try. Okay. I have a whole nugget Let me try. No Mm-hmm, you still like it. Mm-hmm, okay This one I would give a four out of five No, I'm still on the three, but Lower threes Okay. Yeah. All right, we're gonna try our final frozen dinner Okay, so here is the final frozen dinner. Here's what it looks like frozen. Let me flip it over for you guys So this one is four hundred and forty calories thirteen hundred and forty milligrams of sodium similar microwave instructions Lift the film to minute microwave it for four minutes Stir it up and microwave it for another minute and a half and let it sit for a minute or two And this is described as mini lasagna noodles in a traditional marinara sauce Dressed up with a pepperoni twist and topped with mozzarella Okay, so here is what it looks like out of the microwave after it has rested for a couple of minutes Okay, so this is our final meal Okay, here it is. Yes guy theory All right, this is the one that was least looking forward to why we went to Guys, no chicken guy. Oh, yeah, and Florida and I wasn't impressed. So yeah, it's a chicken finger restaurant. It was that Something Disney Springs or whatever downtown Disney or whatever it's called now I don't know, but we waited in line for a while to eat there and it wasn't that great, right? So let's guard you for life. Yes Okay Doesn't look anything special to me. No, let me see. I'm gonna try to get some pasta and some got some pasta here Some meat sauce. I got some stuff Okay, ready? Cheers. Cheers. It's okay. It's special. No, I don't know if there's ricotta cheese or something in there Okay, I'm not a huge ricotta cheese fan and if it's not I don't know what kind of cheese it is I guess I should have looked at the package, but I think there's some ricotta or something in there something maybe So this one This is also a three for me. Oh good grief So they're all mostly that's okay and Nothing stood out spectacular to me the The one with the cork and the thing is still the best one. Oh, normalized anyone. Maybe I'll say three and a half for that one The all under three maybe three point one three point two whatever and I'm trying to decide between this one and the Last one which one's my favorite. Oh, wow. Okay So I would probably give this one a three as well. I think it's just okay My favorite one was the last one we had the cardi brown fried chicken and actually as I was eating it I saw some potato skin. So they I'm assuming they used real potatoes Okay, it was good real black pepper That is true But I hope you all enjoyed this video if you did Please make sure to give us a thumbs up and if you haven't subscribed to our channel We'd love to have you.
