I asked the biggest YouTubers in the world their favorite foods and in this video, I'm going to cook all of these foods and then ask them for their ratings. And we're going to start with Mr. Beast. What is your favorite food? Chocolate. What else was I going to say? What if we turn the Mr. Beast Panther into a beautiful chocolate sculpture? To make the actual chocolate, I'd normally start with a few nice fresh cacao pods, but instead, I'm going to speed things up and use a pre-made chocolate bar. I've melted these down with a world-renowned chocolatier who's going to help me make the sculpture. This head took about 14 hours to carve, but we thought we'd fast forward through that part. First, we'll cover the whole head with white cocoa butter, as well as the lightning bolts and teeth. Next, we'll coat the head with blue cocoa butter, making sure to cover every possible area. While that hardens, we'll spray the base black, and then add a pink layer to the tongue and lightning bolts. Now to assemble, a little bit of chocolate, then the eye goes in, and we freeze it in place. I got the cool job. Now we go with the tongue. And for the finishing touches, we'll bring the panther to the dentist and give it a nice set of teeth. Look at that. Came out great. It's quite a handsome-looking panther, isn't it? The side profile. That's Mr. Beast's logo. Yeah. And I can't believe the whole thing's made of chocolate. We have at least 30 pounds of chocolate in here. Before we eat it, let's send Mr. Beast a picture. What's your favorite food? I'd say Chinese. I like special fried rice. Special fried rice. Orange chicken. KSI's a pretty funny guy. And so is Uncle Roger, who just so happens to have a perfect special fried rice recipe. But first, we're going to be making our orange chicken a little bit different today. This here is a full case of orange Prime. I'm going to reduce this all the way down into a powerful orange-flavored syrup that we're going to use to make our orange chicken. The way this is going to go down is actually pretty simple. I'm going to empty all of this Prime into this pot, where it'll boil down into a very powerful orange Prime-flavored syrup. While that's happening in the background, let's make our fried rice. We'll start with just a bit of Chinese sausage, as well as some bacon. I'll stir this all up until it gets nice and crispy, and then place this off to the side. Next, I'll go in with three cloves of garlic, a few red chili, and once that gets nice and crispy, I'll crack in three eggs. Once it starts to make a crackling sound that sounds like this, we'll crumble in some leftover rice. Once I've mixed that around and it's well combined, it's time to add in the soy sauce down the side of our wok. If your pan's hot enough and you do it right, it should foam up just like this. To finish it off, we'll add back in the sausage and bacon. This is what makes it a special fried rice. Then season it up with just a bit of white pepper, and a nice sprinkle of MSG. That right there, KSI, is a special fried rice filled with knowledge, strength, and integrity. Wow. That was really good. But we're not done yet. All of that orange Prime has been reduced down to this. I'm going to add in just a bit of extra orange zest. That'll give it some really good flavor. Then a nice squeeze of orange juice, and a light dusting of cornstarch. I think it's safe to say this is the first ever orange chicken that'll be made with Prime. It's strong. We'll fill up the custom takeout container with our special fried rice. Smells so good. And then once we're almost to the top, I'll do a nice layer of green onions. And then I've got some crispy orange chicken without the orange sauce on top. And to finish, we'll drizzle it with our Prime orange chicken sauce. And just a few sesame seeds. And now, let's open a fortune cookie. If you haven't already, subscribe to help us catch Gordon. Yo, Nick, what is up? JJ, what do you think? Brother, that thing looks so good. Prime orange sauce. I don't know how you've done that, but you're making me hungry. That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Brother, how can I get this? Where are you at, brother? What's your favorite food? Ice cream of all shapes and sizes. I love ice cream. Any flavor? Um, cake batter or brownie batter? Like the batter. Like a cookie dough. Yeah. Delicious. Awesome. MatPat is all about theories. For me, this begs a very simple question. Can we bake a cake using the cake batter that we get out of cake batter ice cream? Let's try it. What I've done here is gotten a few giant containers of cake batter ice cream. And if you look here, you'll see it's been completely melted. First, I'll pour all of our melted ice cream into this giant bin. And then, it's time to dig for a little bit of that cake batter. If this works, the strainer should leave us with nice big chunks of cake batter. As I keep searching, I'll place them into this bowl until I have enough cake batter to make a cake. Oh, that's my best scoop so far. Once I've got enough cake batter to make a cake, I'll crack in one egg, a splash of oil, and just a bit of extra flour to help the cake batter wake up. And now, it's time to whisk. It's clumpy, but otherwise, it actually feels and looks like a perfect cake batter. To bake our cake, I'll give this a nice spray. And then, in we go with our cake batter. And now that it's all ready, time to bake. 25 minutes later, we've got it. What I'll say is that it looks exactly what I would think a cake made out of cake batter from cake batter ice cream would look like. It looks kind of bad, but in a good way. All that's left is to get a nice slice. Can we call this a cake? MatPat will be the judge. Nick, I have nothing but respect for your skills as a chef and nothing but disgust for that thing you call a cake. I have done some really awful things in the kitchen with my time on food theory, but this one probably takes the cake. Terrible pun for a terrible cake. Thanks, but no thanks. Better luck next time. Logan, can I ask you a question? Yeah, yeah. What's your favorite food? It's so simple, dude. Really? Butter noodles. Butter noodles. But that's so boring, and Logan Paul's not boring, so that's why I've brought in one of the biggest food artists in the entire world. Nathan here can make art out of any food. He's made portraits out of pizzas and sauce, and he can do the same thing with Marmite on toast. Today, we're going to turn boring buttered noodles into a masterpiece. But first, I'll need to make some fresh pasta. I'll start by salting my water, and then in go our noodles. When my pasta's cooked, I'll add some butter to a pan, and once that's melted down, I'll add in my pasta. And there it is, the easiest recipe in the entire world, and Logan Paul's favorite food, buttered noodles. My part is done, Nathan, perfect al dente. Well, I like to listen to music while I work. Is that okay? The kitchen's yours. This is the finishing touch, the final strand of spaghetti. This is insane. You somehow have a way to make portraits with food that look even more realistic than the portrait that you take with a camera. That's a pretty big compliment. Thank you. It was very hard not to eat the noodles whilst making it, though. Should we send a picture to Logan? Sure, please do. Nathan Nick, I can't believe what you've done. I love buttered noodles, and now I am buttered noodles. You guys are incredible. Thank you. Thank you. Marcus, I got a question. What's your favorite food? Sushi. Any specific type? I like dragon rolls. Which is why I'm standing behind this sushi omakase counter. But since he's MKBHD, I'm going to be using all the tech I possibly can to make these sushi rolls, which is why I'm starting with this brand new pair of Apple Vision Pros. These are completely new, and after filming today, I'm going to take them off and send them to one of you random subscribers. Now, in front of me, I have some sushi robots. This one here makes nice perfect sheets of rice, and this one here is a sushi cutter. To roll out the rice, I'll take off this top cover and dump in my sushi rice. It will then make a perfect sheet of sushi rice, just like this. I could sit here and watch this sushi robot work all day long. At this point, I'll lay down my nori seaweed right over the top of that sushi rice, and then it's easy to just lift and pull it right away. I feel so powerful with my headset on. To build my sushi roll, I'll lay down my perfect sheet, then place down my shrimp tempura, some nice thinly sliced mango, some thinly sliced cucumber, and once it's all rolled up, I'll carefully place over my avocado. It's time for the moment we've all been waiting for. The sushi cutting robot. Three, two, one. That was crazy. Now let's get this sushi plated. Before I place down my roll, I'll add some spicy mayo and eel sauce. And once it's in a nice pattern like this, it's time to place down my cut sushi roll. I'll add a bit of flying fish roe to the top of each piece, and finish it with a nice sprinkle of black sesame seeds. Wow. That is awesome. I'll send MKBHD a quick photo, and now we wait. What's your favorite food? Steak, ribeye. And how would you cook it? Medium. How do you feel about that? I order medium as well. Yes. Let's go. Medium is always a good choice, and so is a ribeye, but I want to take things a step further. The other day, I was playing with my FaZe Jenga set. Why a bunch of gamers decided to sell a Jenga set, I have no idea. But I was playing an intense game of Jenga, all by myself. Anyways, in the end, I ended up losing, but then I had an idea. That's right. Wagyu Jenga. I know you wanted ribeye, but why not some of the most beautiful meat in the entire world? Some perfectly marbled Wagyu. So, I got to stacking. One layer down, then another, then another, then on and on until I've made a beautiful Wagyu Jenga tower. It's cool, but I still don't feel like this is enough. After all, FaZe Rug, you may be short in stature, but what you lack in height, you make up for in everything you do. You do it big, and that's what I want to do with your meat. That sounded wrong. We'll start with three of our Wagyu Jenga squares, pressing them down to make sure they're fully touching the surface of the pan and we get that beautiful golden brown sear. And then we'll cook just a bit longer on the other side. When it looks like this in the middle, I know it's a perfect medium. To plate, I'll go down with my Wagyu, using odd numbers as usual. Then I'll sprinkle each piece with just a touch of Osmo such that it melts into the fat on the top of the Wagyu. And next, for a bit more salt, each piece will get a nice bit of caviar. And to finish, some nice edible 24-karat gold. With an extra gold sprinkle for good measure. Now, all that's left is a quick photo for FaZe Rug. Nick, how are you going to do that to me, man? I'm sitting here all the way in San Diego, and you send me that perfectly cooked steak, medium, the only way you're supposed to cook a steak. Please ship that over to me ASAP. What's your favorite food? Hamburgers. What do you put on them? Cheese and ketchup only. It's the purest form. Whenever I see Ryan, the first thing I think about is his one-star video series, where he goes to one-star hotels, one-star activities, one-star restaurants. We're going to make him the most one-star burger possible by collecting our burger ingredients from a few one-star fast-food restaurant locations. For the first of our three locations, Tommy said, "This is, without question, the soggiest, wettest bun I have ever seen." Let's go get a soggy bun. Check. For our second location, Stinger said, "Melt the cheese? Too much work. Let's just leave it hard and rubbery." Melts? Apparently, this place doesn't. Thanks so much. And now for our third and final location, Leah said, "How about not shrinking everything until it's wafer thin? And also, a burger patty should not be crunchy. So dry." Thank you. Let's go home and make this burger. First up, we need our buns. Ryan, I don't know if I could have done any better for you here, buddy. Five Guys is one of my favorite places to get a burger, but this is soggy. And that is exactly what you want in a one-star burger. Step one is complete. We have our buns. Next up, let's get our cheese. Once again, it says melty juicy, so if this cheese isn't melted, I'm going to be even more shocked. But that's what the rating said. And bingo, that cheese is not melted at all. In fact, I actually think I can literally peel that right off our burger. And if the cheese is melted properly, that should not happen. And last but not least, the patty. Hoping for the driest patty imaginable here. The cheese is actually melted on this one, so I can't pull it off, so it's just going to have to be a double cheeseburger for you, Ryan. I think that's a one-star patty. I don't see much juice, much moisture coming off this thing. And now to assemble, patty, unmelted cheese, a nice little squirt of ketchup, because that's all Ryan wanted, and of course, our top soggy bun. But Ryan, your burger would not be complete without this cute cowboy hat on top. Howdy. I hope you like it. Looks terrible. Is this some sort of prank? Is this some sort of joke? Plastic cowboy hat on a burger, if that's what we're calling it. That burger's rough, Nick. It's scary. Five stars. Kai, I have a question. Yeah. What's your favorite food? Good baked mac and cheese. Do you make good mac and cheese? I make pretty good mac and cheese. Believe, bro, I can tell mac and cheese is going to be good based off how I look at it. So I've transformed my kitchen into a live cooking studio, and I'm going to be doing my first ever Twitch live stream, just like Kai does, to make him his mac and cheese. There are wires and cameras everywhere. I have no idea what I'm doing with this. And with the click of a button, we are now live on Twitch. I'm kind of nervous. My heart's beating faster than it normally does here. Let's get cooking. All right, I see the chat. There's a lot of comments. First of all, can anybody guess what I'm making? Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese. Not a bad guess, given we have the breadcrumbs, flour, we have some seasonings, obviously we have the cheese, and we got the mac. So, great guesses. Oh, somebody just told me, Nick, it's in the title. As you can tell, I don't do these normally, so I can't see the title. I don't even know where it is. We have our water right here. Salt the water, right? With a generous pinch of salt. All right, our macaroni is cooking. Someone said add the cheese. No. We got to make a base for it first. I'm making what's called a roux right now. R O U X. This is what's going to help us get a nice thick and creamy mac and cheese. Now I'm going to go in with a little bit of evaporated milk. And what that is going to do is that what gives us a silky smooth mac and cheese. A little bit of half and half, heavy cream, whatever you want to use here. Someone asked me, can I be a mod? I don't even know what that means, so I can't do that. Got a little clumpy. I got to stir faster and pay less attention to the chat. Can I save this? I'm going to turn my heat off, and I'm going to add some onion powder and garlic powder. And then, a little bit of mustard. Not too much. I know some people don't like mustard, but just trust me. Now it's time to come in with the cheese. It's hard to look at a chat and make mac and cheese at the same time. Is that enough cheese, everyone? Is that enough cheese? Can you guys tell me if this is enough cheese from the chat? I got cheese on my phone. This is why you shouldn't cook in live stream. Someone said, Nick, you can't mess up pasta. You have Italian in your blood. That's true. Oh, it looks perfect. It looks perfect. That's off to the side. Somebody keeps saying Nick oil up, and I don't know what that means. I hope that's not a bad thing. That's what we're looking for with a mac and cheese. Look at that. See this? Look what we did, guys. Can you hear this? This looks so good. Should we put the breadcrumbs first or then the cheese? Yeah, I'm going to go with the breadcrumbs first, then the cheese. Just a little bit. We don't want too many breadcrumbs. We just want a little bit. Oh, this looks so good. Now, we'll torch it. It's getting nice and sizzly. Almost done, almost done, Kai. Bam. Look at that. Everyone in the chat, can you give this a rating? Based on what you've seen, based on what I put in it. All right, one guy just gave it a one out of ten. That looks amazing. It smells so good in this kitchen right now. Oh, I mean, I mean, come on. Oh my God, this smells good. Manny, will you come take a little nibble of this? Just come over here and take a little nibble. It's going to be hot though. You want me to blow on it? Yeah, you blow on it. Give it a rating. Mmm. Is it good? Mmm. Don't and don't just say that. Don't just say it. No, it's really good. I give it a 9.8 out of 10. You're fired. What's your favorite food? A really, really dank pizza. Any toppings? Dude, I feel like I want to buffalo chicken on there, some onions. Maybe dip it in some ranch. Oh, yeah, oh, 100%. Okay, okay, okay. I'll make a pizza, but we're not just going to make any ordinary pizza. We're going to make your pizza, Jesser, in this coal-fired oven. Oh god. And listen to that crackle. That's what we're looking for. Close it up. And now, it's time to press out our dough. Now, I'm not just making any ordinary pizza here. I'm obviously going to have all the different toppings that he's asked for, but I'm going to give this pizza a little twist. Because Jesser's known for all his sports videos, and especially basketball, using the toppings in a creative way, my goal is to make it look like a basketball. We'll start with a bit of sauce. Make sure we spread it around as evenly as possible. Next, I'm going to evenly spread around that chicken that you wanted. And I'm purposefully hiding this under the cheese so that we can make it look like a basketball. And next, some onions that I've lightly sautéed, but same thing, I'm going to keep them hidden under that cheese. And then, perhaps the most important part of the pizza, some mozzarella cheese. Layered evenly across our whole pizza. And now, it's time for the pepperoni. The pepperoni is what will start to give the pizza that color of a basketball. And I think this is probably the most pepperoni I've ever seen on a pizza. We'll finish it off with just a touch of olive oil. And into the oven it goes. It looks so lonely all the way back there. And just like that, it looks like our pizza is done. Obviously, I had to make a nice custom pizza box, and I hope this fits. Oh. I think we can fit it if I rotate it. So to build this special basketball pizza, I need to line it with some olives. I know he didn't request olives on his pizza, but the thing is, this is what's going to allow me to make this thing look like a basketball. And don't think I forgot about the buffalo and the ranch. We'll go buffalo across the pizza this way, and ranch across the pizza this way. And that right there, Jesser, is your basketball pizza, aka a really dank pizza. I'm going to pack this thing up and send it to California. Nick, I have full confidence that that is a basketball. Bucket.

"Let's go home and make this burger. First up, we need our buns. Ryan, I don't know if I could have done any better for you here, buddy. Five Guys is one of my favorite places to get a burger, but this is soggy. And that is exactly what you want in a one-star burger."

"Step one is complete. We have our buns. Next up, let's get our cheese. Once again, it says melty juicy, so if this cheese isn't melted, I'm going to be even more shocked. But that's what the rating said."

"And bingo, that cheese is not melted at all. In fact, I actually think I can literally peel that right off our burger. And if the cheese is melted properly, that should not happen."

Nick DiGiovanni, wearing a blue t-shirt, retrieves a burger patty from a McDonald's wrapper. He then holds up the patty, showing its dry texture. He then places the patty on a bun, adds unmelted cheese, and squirts ketchup on top.
"And last but not least, the patty. Hoping for the driest patty imaginable here. The cheese is actually melted on this one, so I can't pull it off, so it's just going to have to be a double cheeseburger for you, Ryan. I think that's a one-star patty. I don't see much juice, much moisture coming off this thing."

"And now to assemble, patty, unmelted cheese, a nice little squirt of ketchup because that's all Ryan wanted, and of course, our top soggy bun. But Ryan, your burger would not be complete without this cute cowboy hat on top. Howdy. I hope you like it."

"Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese. Not a bad guess, given we have the breadcrumbs, flour, we have some seasonings, obviously we have the cheese, and we got the mac. So, great guesses. Oh, somebody just told me, Nick, it's in the title."
