Homemade vs. Fast Food

Rhett & Link put their taste buds to the ultimate test in "Call of Dupe-y," a segment designed to challenge their ability to differentiate between beloved fast-food items and their meticulously crafted copycat versions. With blindfolds on and palates primed, the duo embarked on a culinary journey, sampling everything from iconic burgers to savory chili, all while competing for charity.

The Shake Shack Showdown

The first challenge presented Rhett & Link with the task of identifying the authentic Shake Shack ShackBurger from a homemade dupe. The stakes were high, with $500 on the line for their respective charities for each correct guess, and an additional $5,000 for the overall winner. As they bit into the burgers, the initial reactions were a mix of delight and confusion. Link noted the crispiness of his burger, which made it feel like there were "two discs" of meat, leading to a brief, humorous exchange about the patty count. The secret to the Shake Shack dupe, it was revealed, lay in its sauce, which included lacto-fermented pickles – a detail that even the Mythical Kitchen's chef, Colby, had to correct during preparation. Ultimately, Rhett correctly identified the dupe, attributing his success to the copycat's superior taste, a testament to Colby's culinary skills.
