 Are we not the most well-produced supermarket review channel out there? Only one, bro. Yo, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to another grocery store deli episode of Fungro's Food. We are continuing our journey, and today we are doing Sprouts Farmers Market. We are on a journey to analyze and explore America's supermarkets grab-and-go section. I think the easiest way to describe Sprouts, and I'm not like making any pre-judgements, but it is a cross between a Trader Joe's and a Whole Foods. So it's definitely not as big as a Whole Foods, definitely not as expensive, quality-wise it's kind of like a price-wise more like Trader Joe's. It started in San Diego, headquartered in Arizona, and then now it's kind of starting to spread across the country. No, this is what I'm thinking of. Desert, dry chilies, chilies, lots of chilies, lots of chilies, lots of chilies, and green and red chilies, red or Christmas, red or Christmas. We did a TV show. Alright, so we have an array of food from prepared dinners to hot foods to cold foods like the Salons, and then we got some of their really nice, baked breads. Sprouts, Deli, let's go. Starting off, the Sprouts Crawl. We got the Boneless Chicken Wings, or our side, I should say, Boneless Bites. Chicken, Bites. Bites, not what you're thinking, nothing you dirty man. Nusin thinks in love, which is not wrong, but this is wrong for this video. We don't give away the chicken bites. To be fair, Sprouts is from Arizona, so this is probably the Honey Barbecue Bites with the chicken bites. Hot and spicy Boneless Chicken Bites. We still had to microwave these. Yeah, so they came cold, but because we actually brought a microwave to the park there. The dedication to provide you the most accurate supermarket review. Are we not the most well-produced supermarket review channel out there? Only one, bro. Now you love fried chicken, what's your view on the Boneless Bites? I am not a fan of Boneless, because I'm more of a traditional person. I like the texture and taste of the wings. Boneless usually dry. Usually chicken breast. Breast meat healthier. True. Guys, this is the Honey Barbecue Chicken Bites. I will give it a 3 out of 5. I give the Honey BBQ ones 2.5 out of 5. It tastes like kid's food, right? I think the taste of it, the sauce of the Honey Barbecue, tastes kind of good. But then the quality of it is not that good. It's like of the meat, so 2.5. Spicy. Hot and spicy. The hot and spicy is the barbecue flavor. Man, if we had ranch right now. This one seemed like it was cooked better though. Yeah, just the taste overall from the hot and spicy is better. I got to give it a 3.5. Same 3.5. That's a big jump for me though. I said 2.5 to 3.5. I'm going to give it a 3 out of 5. Oh, you're giving me a 3 out of 5. 3.5. Okay, 3.5. So this is the chicken tender. Oh, this thing is steamy. Steamy. Yeah. I enjoyed this as well. No, my kid's side is loving this. You know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of the Dino Nuggets. Yeah, exactly. Dino Nuggets. You know, Dino Nuggets are good. I'm giving these a 3 out of 5. They're not as good as the buffalo hot and spicy ones that I just ate. I'll give it a 3.5. I'll give these a 3.5. I like these better than both spicy ones. Dude, the texture on these is actually good. Dang it, bro. Just dang it. 3.5. I understand by it. Dude, these are elevated. I agree with you. Elevated Dino Nuggets. Next section. We have what I would say is the Phoenix Thanksgiving dinner. Macaroni and cheese here for 4.99 per pound. We have the mac and cheese with hatch chilies. You have the roasted dark turkey. We've got the mashed potatoes heated for 3.49. Wait, David, are you just going to not talk about how this turkey looks right now? How does that look like a dinosaur faucet? Look at what we're looking at, bro. Oh, my God. The meat is falling off. Yo, I'm excited about this plate. Actually, this is looking like a pretty good spread, man. And that turkey was looking mad juicy. A little extra. Look at the hatch chilies in it. Ooh, I like that. I like the hatch chilies. Regular mac and cheese with a little bit of fresh cheese on top. I prefer the one with the chilies. True. The hatch chilies was better. Dark roast turkey. I've got to give a shout out to how this turkey just falls off the bone. I'm excited. Almost like carnitas on it. Yours, though. That tastes like the pork in a Cantonese soup. Like the chew-up. Chew-up. Yeah. Those baked beans are like candy baked beans. They're so sweet. The mash is really good. Overall, those were probably the best things we had so far. The hatch chili macaroni and the turkey get a 4 from me. And then everything else is probably like 3.5. God, I'm going to rank the mashed potatoes pretty high. Having the fresh red potatoes in there with the skin on. It's a cost of turkey. You got to shred the turkey. Man, I'm saying that that was a great way to recreate turkey dinner. And I prefer it over the sliced turkey breast. Hell, yeah. Oh, for sure. Hell, yeah. No, no. You've been to Disneyland more than us. I got to ask. How'd you know that? You're from L.A. and you know more girls. I don't take girls to Disneyland. I don't know anything about that. Have you had the turkey leg at Disneyland? Yes. How does this compare? This is like a turkey leg. Meat quality of sprouts. It's better. Oh, because because the Disneyland turkey leg, you might have a few sections of it, you know, feeling juicy, very oily. But a lot of the other parts of the chicken leg is actually really dry and hard. This one, it's soft throughout the whole thing. We are moving on to some prepared dinners. This is the Salisbury steak dinner for 8.49 per pound. Yo, that was, you know, that was like the most poppin dinner in America. Wow. Probably like in the 1950s. Um, it's okay. I mean, it tastes very low quality. Yeah. It's not that great. With respect to Ronald and Nancy Reagan and Jimmy Carter, I got to say three. Oh, Nixon was probably eating this three times a week. Oh my gosh. I'm excited. Yo, that one is really excited. Yeah. If you guys really know the origin of ultra orange fried meats, like double fried meats, I believe it is from Dongbei and the Guobao Road at a Dongbei spot, which is northeastern China. All right. Beijing beef. All right, guys, we had to get this because it's part of the ethnic section that we have here at Sprouts. It kind of tasted like the way it would taste at school. This would make the China Express spots be the crown of all Chinese food. Okay. Fair, fair. The orange chicken is better. Guys, the orange flavor. Yep. If you're going to get one of them, get the orange chicken. 3.5. 3. I would eat that. 3 out of 5. We are entering another ethnic section of Sprouts. We have the tandoori chicken with brown rice and the Greek chicken with potatoes. These are countries with histories that's ranged for thousands of years. Okay. I would say that these two are interesting because you are starting to see the whole foods influence. Yeah. Freak, freak, like Giannis. Yeah, great freak, like Giannis. Giannis! That's a decoupe over Chris Middleton. Cross court passes. All right, guys, I'm going to try the potatoes with the chicken. Are we going Greek first? Greek first. Yo, this looks delicious. Yeah, it actually looks good. Potatoes, this looks amazing. Man, that's pretty good. I like this one. Yeah. Yo, yo. 4 out of 5. I give it a 4 out of 5. That is a very strong score. That was good. I wouldn't feel bad eating that. Like, I think so far, if you got to eat one thing for lunch, right now that's in the lead. All right, time to try this tandoori chicken. I'm saying the three. Here's the only why. Three. That Greek dish, it's not that Greek food's like better than Indian food or anything. That's not what I'm trying to say, but obviously that Greek dish was made to be eaten cold. So the fact that it was already cold, you didn't need to cook it and reheat it already means that it was kind of at advantage. We've got the cold deli batter. Egg salad versus double egg salad. But this egg salad, I say right off the bat, visually looks like of great quality. It's very bland. Yeah, it tastes healthy, but there's no flavor. Yeah, it's bland. High quality, low flavor. How about that? You rolling with me? That's big facts. Deviled eggs, Italian, Russian, somewhere around there. Europe. I thought it tasted like regular potato salad. Where the egg at then? All right, I got to say, obviously there's more egg in this actual potato salad. I'm going in with the, I'm going with the double egg. Yeah. Tastes a lot better. Yeah. I got dreams. Everyone has them, but it seems. So feel whatever, grab and build your team. We got, we got a seafood salad versus the tuna. Wow. I'm taking a bite of the seafood salad. It's stinky. Whole stinky. The shrimp? I better not get food poisoning, bro. It's cool. Shrimp's okay. Shrimp's shrimp? Oh man, that's seafood salad. That might be the best seafood salad we had at the grocery store. You know why? Because they have shrimp in them. The shrimp is good. I know that's why. I'll give that seafood salad a 4 out of 5. Yeah, I'm giving it a 4.5 out of 5. 4.5 with the celery. Just because something's got to get a 4.5 and usually my expectation for seafood salad is so up. You gave something for 4.5 today. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. What was it? What was it? We won that back. Maybe I need to, we need to see who's wrong. Editor, y'all just put the replay. I give it a 4 out of 5. That is a very strong score. That was good. The sky is falling, guys. The sky is falling. I see the gate and the gate. I see the black cloud. Sesame, ginger, chicken, salad. It tastes Asian. A little disappointing. A little disappointing, man. Some Chinese Americans disrespect Panda Express. What do you think about this? Because Panda Express is good. Actually delicious, right? It's good. Panda Express is good. I ate it throughout my college career. No problem saying, but would you eat this? Honestly, that is not a Chinese dish at all. Actually, that is just an Asian-inspired dish. We are on to the bakery slash dessert section. Takeaways from this Sprouts. Because Sprouts is... And let me tell you why Sprouts is interesting. Because they say it's a farmer's market. It's kind of in between Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. I think leaning more towards the Trader Joe's. But it has a hot food and prepared food section like a Whole Foods. I honestly say it's a hybrid with a fresh and easy. Fresh and easy. It has a London-based chain like the shutdown. I think they just say Whole Foods to make themselves sound better. It's really not like Whole Foods. I would say my takeaways were that I really felt like they did a good job making sure that the food felt organic and healthy. The flavor was very hit or miss. Obviously my favorites were the chicken salad, the turkey dinner combo. But it's tough to say that that's, you know... The barbecue style one. So I liked my barbecue turkey plate. And I thought the orange chicken was surprisingly good. Some of my favorites have got to be seafood salad. I really liked that one. Wow, yeah. The chicken finger was elevated dino. I really like the spicy buffalo bites. You're missing the favorite one you didn't say? The Greek chicken. Oh, the Greek chicken was good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but you gave it a 4.5. Yeah, he gave it a 4.5. You were right. You didn't give it a 4.5. Out! No! No! I stout. I stout. Loaf cake. It's lemon loaf cake. I stout. Oh, I love lemon. I love lemon. That crunch on the top. That's like when Vince Carter did the 360 win one as an opening dunk and a 10,000 jump contest. It's over! I've been thinking between Salisbury steak and loaf cake. And then deviled eggs. Those are three things that are very like 1950s Greece. This is what John Travolta and them was eating at the little diner that looked like Johnny Rockets. But it wasn't Johnny Rockets yet. Buddy? A little sweet. A little chewy, but not bad. Hey, Nelson hit him with the... You know what I do like is that they give you a half pie. Look, you just pick it up and go. I'm picking it up. That's what we call the Fat Man's Briefcase. Here's the thing about cherry pie, guys. Always vary a balance between tart and sweet. Cherry pie. I don't like cherry. Best cherry pie in America. Chocolate cake. Their cakes are dense. Like an IG girl's cake is dense. This cake tasted like something that some kid would bring into class that their mom made from home to share with all the other kids. Us trying these Midwestern, Southwestern supermarkets, you could argue is more impactful than us eating Chinese food on camera. I think so. For a crowd, for the people who do not watch our Asian stuff and our niche stuff and only watch this. This could be groundbreaking. Major takeaways about sprouts? No. My major takeaways, I think, is that sprouts has a lot of elements that caters towards, like you guys said, the Southwest influence. Sprouts is Southwest, but it's Southwest hippie. Yeah. Because if you guys know about the Southwest, it's not just one type of person. Yeah. Here's a takeaway from my end, and I think this will help you if you guys see a sprouts. Get their prepared dinners. I think those are the best things they offer. But something that's, you know, that's different and that's good that you guys will not be disappointed on is the Greek chicken dinner. Just everything's fresh though, I will say. Even the salad items that we had, it felt like someone just made them. I definitely am learning a lot about, like, these, like, American institutions throughout these videos. Hey, and I just want to say, you know, like, we cover a lot of different food. Obviously, we cover a lot of Asian food, a lot of Chinese food, a lot of authentic Chinese food. But this is, like, our American side. People keep giving up. People keep giving up. People keep giving up. You know how you dance together. In the comments below, please let us know what other supermarket chains we should check out. Everybody following Nelson on Hooping Live. Thank you. Check out our Instagrams down below. We're here at the park. And thank you for watching. Until next time, we out! Peace! People kind of get this, like, pretentious vibe from Whole Foods sometimes. Like, you don't always want to go in there because you don't identify as a Whole Foods person, you know. But Sprouts is more of, like, a catch-all. Like, hey, if you want some of that farmer's market hippie vibe, but you don't want all that stuff that comes along with Whole Foods, come to Sprouts.
