Extreme Asian Food Challenge • Try Guys Feast Mode

– Hiccup!
Hiccuping!
Fire burps!
Ahh!
– Los Angeles is know for
its amazing Asian cuisine,
and I’m gonna take the other
Try Guys on a trip around town
to some surprise locations,
where they’re gonna try
some extreme Asian dishes.
– Aww.
– I don’t want that.
– What?
It’s gonna get intense!
– Eugene’s torturing us.
– I’m gonna try to eat as
little food as possible.
You know why?
‘Cause I got a fucked up tongue.
Secret’s out, everybody.
I got geographic tongue.
– I feel like the three dishes I’ve chosen
cover everything from
creepy to slimy to spicy.
– Try Guys Feast Mode Asian Food
Extreme Adventure Something!
(upbeat music)
– Alright, so the first
restaurant I’m going to
is this awesome place called Typhoon.
It’s a Pan-Asian fusion restaurant.
You’re gonna be eating bugs.
– What?
– What kind of bugs?
‘Cause lobsters are bugs.
(bell dings)
– Keith’s arm is on me.
It’s just you’re–
– It’s only on you, because
your elbow’s in my stomach!
– Because it’s a tight backseat,
because we’re in your stupid car.
– Kids!
– [Zach] What?
(upbeat music)
– Hi, my name is Brian Vidor,
and I am the owner of Typhoon,
here at the Santa Monica Airport.
– So you were working in Asia,
you moved over here and opened Typhoon.
– Yeah.
– You were inspired by
some of the different
snacks and street foods in Asia.
– Street foods, you got it, yes.
– Yeah.
– The crickets were in
Taipei Beer Gardens,
and the silkworm pupas are from Thailand.
We’re getting more and more
people coming here for the bugs.
They taste pretty good.
– [Eugene] So these are
Taiwanese-Style Crickets?
– I had a lizard growing
up who ate crickets.
They looked just like this.
– That’s a big old plate of bugs!
– You wanna feed each other?
– Sure.
(upbeat music)
– Mmm.
– Oh no, it’s great.
– It’s almost like eating the
skin off of fried chicken.
– I got a leg in the back
of my throat for a second.
– They keep jumping onto my chopsticks.
– Extremeness, I’m gonna say, like one.
It’s not that extreme.
– No, I would eat this as a snack.
– Bugs are beautiful.
– [Together] Woah!
– [Ned] They look like
little chicken nuggets.
– I don’t know if they
look like chicken nuggets.
They look like bugs.
– Ribbed for her pleasure.
– Oh, please.
– So, these are really popular
in a lot of Asian countries,
especially in Korea, where
we call them Beondegi.
– Butt-diggy.
(upbeat music)
– Oh, no!
– Huh, didn’t expect that.
– Oh!
– Soft.
– Oh, it just bursts.
(upbeat music)
– It just tastes a lot like corn.
– Tasty, wet hay.
– Oh, I could see a horse
just going to town on this.
(horse neighing)
– And these are worm babies.
– Holy fuck, you can kinda see through it.
Oh God, why?
Why?
– It’s not the most pleasant experience.
– Bugs overall, sort of extreme.
Decently tasty and always
looks like a plate of bugs.
– [Ned] Cut to the car!
♫ I ate too many bugs
♫ Oh, Lord, I ate too many bugs ♫
– So we left the bug
place, what’s next, Eugene?
– We’re doing a water
creature of some sort.
– Okay.
– Like a lobster?
I love lobsters.
– Think more sucking.
– Some sort of blow job fish?
– We are going to eat live octopus.
– Oh!
– You guys, why was the octopus laughing?
– Why?
– ‘Cause he had ten-tickles.
(laughter)
Let’s go eat one.
– Alright guys, we are here in Koreatown,
at Wassada Restaurant,
and in a lot of Korean
and Japanese cuisine,
things are so fresh, they’re
still basically alive.
– [Keith] This looks crazy.
– So sea urchin, or
uni, is quite expensive.
– [Keith] It’s a delicacy, right?
– [Eugene] Yeah, it’s a delicacy.
– Is that its butt?
– It looks like the top
of a good, sexy starfish.
You know, some starfish look shitty.
– Eat it.
– Alright.
What was that?
– Woah, that’s amazing.
– It’s like, buttery.
– I don’t know what I just tasted.
– Where’s the butter coming from?
– It’s really complicated.
It kinda tastes like if melon was a meat.
– It’s what lobsters’ blood tastes like.
– I like to call this the
foie gras of the ocean.
– Who would have thought there’d be
something so good inside
this coffee straw coconut?
– Does anyone have bread?
– Oh, no!
– Oh, no.
– There goes that shirt.
Do you have anything
to get this stain out?
The video can wait, okay?
I don’t want this to stain.
– [Eugene] And the best part
is, is you can just, like–
– Oh, a toothpick!
– I mean, it’s hardcore, it’s not extreme.
– But it is an animal and
we are eating its gonads.
– Alright.
– [Eugene] One of my
favorite dishes, Sannakji,
which is what we call live octopus.
It’s recently alive octopus.
– [Ned] Does it move?
– [Eugene] It moves.
This is especially prevalent
in Korea and Japan.
– Oh!
– That’s its eyeball?
– Oh!
– [Keith] Ah, look you got one!
(gagging impression)
– [Eugene] Oh, it won’t let go.
– Oh, that feels so weird.
– Oh, I don’t want to do it.
– And, go!
Chew, chew.
– Oh, no.
Oh, no!
– [Ned] Oh, Zach.
No, Zach, no!
– [Keith] Don’t die!
– Is it moving?
– No!
I don’t know, actually.
– My wife loves me.
– Oh, it’s stuck in my throat.
– Oh, ow.
– It’s stuck to the top of my mouth!
– It wouldn’t let go of my lip.
– How’s it taste?
– It’s really chewy.
– It’s like seafood gum.
– It’s actually delicious.
– I mean, you can’t get
rawer than this, right?
– No, this is the freshest
food I’ve ever had.
– This is the most extreme
thing I’ve ever eaten.
– I’m afraid to swallow this big one.
– [Eugene] You guys good with
one more restaurant, right?
– I feel like I feel it trying
to grab onto my intestines.
– I know!
I think it’s like trying to work
its way back up my esophagus.
– I’m still eating it.
(laughter)
– [Zach] What?
– So we had bugs.
– [Zach] We had bugs.
– We had sea creatures.
– [Zach] Yeah.
– And now we’re gonna do
something pretty tame.
You know?
Something pretty tame for the finale.
– Okay.
– Just the spiciest dish in Los Angeles.
– Eugene, my tongue’s fucked up.
– So, we’re going to a Thai
restaurant called Jitlada.
– [Ned] Oh, I love Jitlada!
– We know that you guys have something
called ‘The Dynamite Challenge.’
– Yes, you guys should try.
It’s really good and spicy.
– [Keith] How spicy are we talking?
– [Waitress] One to ten?
– [Zach] Yeah, ten being the biggest.
– [Waitress] Ten.
– I’m nervous.
I’m anxious.
– We both love spicy food.
I basically grew up on spicy food.
– I’ve chosen a piece that
like, has no visible spice.
– Yeah, me too.
– I’ll put more spice on,
I’ll put more spice on.
– [Eugene] And just before you guys start,
keep the screaming to a minimum.
– Yeah, Eugene, we’ll keep
our screaming to a minimum.
– You wanna just stick the
whole thing in our mouths?
– Shouldn’t we?
– Okay, ready?
– [Eugene] Go!
(suspenseful music)
– Oh, God.
(clearing throat)
Oh!
– Oh, my God.
– Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me.
– Keith, are you okay?
– Nuh-uh.
– [Zach] Oh, no!
(gagging noise)
– I think I’m gonna vomit.
– Oh, I’m already farting.
– Oh!
– There’s like a fountain of saliva–
– There’s a —
– Oh!
Delicious flavor.
(blowing nose)
– Ow, it’s getting worse, it’s getting–
– The most preposterous
dish in Los Angeles.
– I’m giving cunnilingus
to a piece of cucumber.
That’s how much pain I’m in.
– Am I crying?
Am I sweating?
– They cure all diseases.
It cures Eugene.
(laughter)
If I eat them, maybe I
will be cured as well.
Dear, Jitlada.
Your ‘Dynamite Challenge’
was the last stop
in our Extreme Asian Food Tour.
We regret everything, but we love you!
I can’t stop burping, Ned.
Farting, Zach.
Crying, Eugene.
Dying, Keith.
Love, The Try Guys.
♫ I can feel the fire ♫
– This was just the battle.
The war will be waged
on my toilet all night.
It’s a good thing my wife’s out of town.
– Keith, how about I
find Italian foods next?
I’m Italian.
Italians have very interesting
cuisine, like pasta.
(car door slams)
Oh, my friends left.

This is another fucking hot Japanese! Eugene takes The Try Guys on an Asian taste tour around Los Angeles, and each stop gets more and more extreme.
