- God!

- This can probably be classified as torture.

- ♪ (French accordion music) ♪

- (FBE) So, before you came in today, we asked you to arrive

with an empty stomach. - Well, I'm ready to eat,

that's for sure.

- Yeah. - I'm suspicious, 'cause you guys

like to mess with us a lot. - Exactly.

- (FBE) So the reason being we've teamed up with Crunchyroll

to have you watch the anime Food Wars,

where a teenage boy dreams of becoming a chef

and battles to survive at an elite culinary school

while mastering his skills. We want you to watch

some show clips full of delicious foods

while hungry and tell us what you think.

- I've watched Food Wars before. Let me tell you, okay,

if you can't tell by my shirt, I love anime.

- I like anime. I've seen Food Wars.

- Anime food makes me so hungry every time.

- You eat with your eyes first, so, you know, my stomach

is gonna get ready for the food. - Yeah, my eyes are hungry

as [bleep] right now.

- (Japanese dialogue)

- I like how it's like Dragonball Z but with cooking.

- I know, it's an anime. Everything's so much

more intense. Oh, nice.

Sticks the landing.

- Yeah, this would make an appetite for real.

- Honestly, food in anime is the most amazing looking thing

in the world and I can never tell what any of it

is supposed to be, but I want all of it.

- Ugh, they make the food look so good.

- It's so fluffy. - Oh my God, look.

They're jiggling.

- Oh my God, I love her.

- Oh my. - This is better than any

Food Network thing. - This is like Ratatouille

on steroids.

- (FBE) We got a chef to recreate these delicious

and one of a kind dishes from the show.

This is extra special, 'cause you'll never be able

to get these anywhere else. - What?

- Guys, I'm gonna cry.

- Oh! Look at that.

- It looks like something you see in a commercial,

that's how good it looks.

- (FBE) I do have some news for you, this is a

try not to eat challenge. - No!

- (FBE) Whoever can get through this and eat

the least amount of food wins. - No, no, no.

This is gonna be so hard.

- This is a challenge you only could lose.

- I know!

- (FBE) So this is the mouthwatering

souffle omelette you just saw, and it's indeed fluffy and magical.

Will you be trying this? - I hate you guys so much.

- I'm gonna eat it. - I wanna taste it too.

- Screw this challenge. It's so unique.

- It is so worth it to eat it.

- You know what, I'ma take this quick L here

and try this out. - Ding.

- Wow. - The whole background

just turned pink behind you when you took a bite of that.

- Do I have the heart eye emojis?

- That looks so good, though. Okay, I'm good this round.

- I want someone to look at me the way she's looking

at that omelette. - (laughs)

- Yeah, I'm not gonna eat this. I'm mad at you guys.

- There's other Japanese foods that I really wanna try,

but since it's a challenge, I'm gonna hold back.

- Look at it. It's literally sparkling.

- (Japanese dialogue)

- My first thought was "Nice try.

I'm still not gonna eat healthy."

- Sauteed zucchini herb-- Oh my God.

- That sounds good. - It's so refreshing.

- It looks good.

- (Japanese dialogue)

- 14 different flavors? What?

- That's intense. That's intense.

- I might have to try this.

- I'm more curious about how this tastes, though.

- That looked like something that you get as an appetizer

to a really fancy, fancy restaurant.

- (FBE) So now here is the rainbow terrine.

What gives this dish the extra delicious taste

is the allspice. The show describes it

as tasting like a mother's love and I can attest from trying it

that it really does touch your heart, so wanna

give it a try? - This looks ridiculously similar

to what was in the TV show.

- I expected not wanting to eat it 'cause it was gonna be vegetables,

but this looks so tasty.

- I'll try it if you try it. - All right, all right, that's fair.

- Ready? - Cheers.

- That's definitely like mother's love.

- It's delicious. - Wow.

- It's a roller coaster.

- Do you want to? That's the question.

- The thing is, I have no self control.

- Okay. - So you can't make me.

Jordan.

I don't like this part of the game.

- I'm good, I don't really want this dish.

- I feel like we're just gonna step it up,

so save it towards the end, maybe.

- If this wasn't a challenge, I would totally eat it,

but because it is, I can't lose this.

- Whoa. - Oh, it's a roll.

I'm ready for this. - Look it, they all have it.

- I-- this looks so good.

Look at the eyes, they're glimmering.

- Oh my God, it's crunchy. - Oh.

- Oh, it's fried-- - We're getting chicken!

Jordan, we're getting chicken! - (laughs)

- (Japanese dialogue)

- This show is amazing. - No dude, food brings

people together.

- Ahhh! Me, right now.

Ah no! That one looked so good.

- (FBE) Presenting the karaage roll.

I can attest that the chicken is as flavorful, crispy,

and juicy as the anime said. So, you guys gonna try this one?

- (laughs) That looks really good. - Man, that chicken looks good.

- Ugh! - So good.

- I'm gonna refrain. I'm refraining.

- I'm sure you are. - Yeah.

Oh my gosh. - This is a really weird

comparison-- oh, she's losing!

Ha ha!

- I'm just gonna lose. I don't care anymore.

You know, whatever. - Okay, done.

That's bomb. - That's fire.

- That is good. You know when you taste

something so good, you get mad? I'm mad.

- This one's really hard, but I think I'm gonna pass

on this one. - No, you know what?

I'm gonna win.

- I'm not gonna do it. - You're not--

dang it, wait, I don't wanna lose.

This is the worst challenge I've ever done.

- Ever!

- Oh, it's a business. - Business people, wait.

- Sabotars. What's the word?

Saboteurs.

- "I asked you for juicy meat." (laughs)

- I love anime. I love it.

Look at him. - He putting his whole

arm into that food. - Look at that beautiful

slow motion, look at that.

- Oh, the salt bae. - Salt bae.

- Oh, nice. - It's like the Naruto of food.

- Can't say no. - What is that!?

- (Japanese dialogue)

- Ugh.

- I'm starting to cry a little. - (laughs)

- I'm just getting so hungry. It's unreal right now.

- How can I not eat this? - Did he say potatoes and bacon?

- (FBE) So the delicious dish in front of you is called

Gotcha pork roast and has potatoes and bacon in it.

So, are you gonna eat it? This your only chance

to ever try this dish. - Oh, I gotchu pork roast.

- Stop, this is our only-- Eric, a chef made this.

- How can we-- it would be--

- It would be rude.

- Yep. - Wait, let me smell it.

Oh my God, it's bacon heaven.

- It's worth it. I'm gonna try.

You wanna try with me?

It's so good. I can't even keep in my seat.

- Gotta keep it halal, guys. Shoutout to my non pork eaters.

Keep it kosher. - But I want it.

- Tom, go at it, bro. - All right, I'm gonna eat it.

- I love potatoes. I'm not gonna--

Nope, I'm good. I'm past it.

- You don't have to eat it. We're good.

- We're not gonna eat it. - We're good.

- We're not gonna eat it.

- I just wanna say, I want my life wrapped in bacon.

- Oh, the steam. Oh, it's this--

Oh my God, I'm definitely eating this.

I remember this scene.

- Ooh, is that a steak? Like a beef?

- That looks so good.

- Oh, we're going in. - (both laugh)

- "I can't stop eating." (laughs) Same.

- That's so relatable. I just want it to be me right now.

- They're not even chewing. They're just swallowing.

- The fact that I'm expecting this to be in front of me soon

makes this such a different experience.

- I'm those two girls in the corner.

Me and Brooklin. (both squeal)

- (FBE) So, this is the steak don. I tried it and couldn't

stop eating it, either. It had to be pulled

away from me. So, will you be trying this one?

- Oh yeah, hell yeah. I'm eating this.

That's so good. Bruh.

- I wanna win though. - You know you want it.

- (laughs) Okay, yeah, [bleep] it.

- All in your mouth. - Ah, it's so warm.

- Okay, wow. - It's so good.

I'm gonna do my food dance.

- I'm glad that I get to watch it and eat it

at the same time. I don't care if I fail

this challenge.

- I refrain from this one. This is all you.

- Cool, I'm eating this for lunch, then.

- Enjoy. - Thank you Jordan.

- This is pure torture. - This is the best day of my life.

I don't think it's too much of an overstatement to say

this is the best thing I've ever had.

- This can probably be classified as torture.

No, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it!

- I can smell this, but you know what I can smell more?

I can smell victory. - (laughs)

- (FBE) You guys both won.

- Yeah! - Yeah, you know,

I'm not even gonna applaud that. That sucked.

- (FBE) Some people have lost. - All or nothing, baby.

- Yeah.

- It was worth it. This is good food.

- I don't care. - Whoo!

We did it!

- I've lost a lot of challenges in my day.

This is one challenge I was happy to lose.

- Exactly.
