TITUSS: I'm Tituss Burgess,
this is Dishmantled!
The badass competition where we blast a dish to smithereens...
[all laugh]
- What are they eating?
- TITUSS: ...to see if two blindfolded chefs can guess it...
- NICK: It's definitely sweet.
- TITUSS: ...then make it.
- MICHELLE: My booty's clinched.
- Ah! - Oh, we can't say that?
- TITUSS: Whoever makes a dish closest to what exploded on them
wins $5,000.
Voila!
Y'all ready to watch me blow some shit up?
- AUTUMN: My name is Autumn Moultrie.
Why did I get myself into this shit again?
- NICK: My name is Nick Williams. I'm ready to get in that tube.
Beat me up. Let's go.
- Once I hit this button, you'll only have 30 minutes to taste and cook
- for Danny, Michelle... - Oh, my God.
- ...and myself.
Are y'll ready?
All rise. - Oh, OK.
- TITUSS: Let's get dish... mantled!
[screams in muffled voice]
[grunts]
- Oh, my God! - It's like he hugged it.
- Oh, my God! - Oh, no.
- Gotta be honest, I didn't prepare for this.
- They have health insurance, right? Like...
- I hope so, girl. - OK.
He got some on his booty.
- Oh, no! She hit her face now. - Oh!
- Ow!
- AUTUMN: Tituss just shot me with six cannons full of ground meat.
- TITUSS: So you see the colors and we can kinda smell.
- Yeah. - What do you think it is, chef?
- The orange is kinda throwing me off.
It could be pumpkin, carrot, could be yam.
- MICHELLE: I wanna say like a shepherd's pie.
- Yeah. - Yeah, good guess.
- Well, wait a minute. Did you see any white
'cause that would have potatoes in it?
- Look, I don't see color, OK?
I'm a equal opportunity potato lover.
- AUTUMN: Now, I'm feeling some kind of starch.
It's creamy, buttery. I think it's potatoes.
- TITUSS: Would you guys do that for $5,000?
- You should've seen what I did for curly fries in college.
This is nothing.
- [singing] ♪ Oh, my God ♪
[Michelle laughing]
- You are the most... - [screams]
- AUTUMN: It's sweet, right?
- But there's like super savory in there too.
- DANNY: It actually smells really good. It's definitely carby.
- NICK: I'm ready. I just wanna cook. Let's go.
- TITUSS: Oh, no. - MICHELLE: Oh, no! Oh, shit.
- NICK: I'm starting to think about what was that shit in the tube.
I think I taste mashed potatoes, beef, maybe an onion.
I'm making shepherd's [bleeps] pie.
- MICHELLE: This is very exciting. We need to celebrate.
- DANNY: All right. - Come on with mama.
- I know it's like New Years.
[both scream]
- Oh, my God. Thank you for having. - Cheers. Cheers.
- This is still fun.
- I'm so glad I got a babysitter.
- DANNY: Oh, my gosh.
- MICHELLE: Oh, she's picking up potatoes. - Oh.
- AUTUMN: In the tube I tasted peas, chunks of carrots, ground beef and onion.
I'm positive this is shepherd's pie,
but it has, like, an earthy sweetness.
My best guess is this is shepherd's pie with sweet potatoes.
Who uses sweet potatoes to make shepherd's pie?
But I trust my palate.
- TITUSS: Chefs, you've got 15 minutes left.
- Give me one clue. - Is this savory?
- [singing] ♪ Can't tell ya! ♪ - Is this sweet?
- [singing] ♪ Not gonna tell ya! ♪
- Do you wanna eat it? - Yes.
[all laugh]
- DANNY: Please.
- NICK: There's still a weird vegetable sweetness
I'm trying to pull from carrots, peas, a little red wine,
and Worcestershire sauce.
I'm gonna stick with that as what I think is sweet.
- Your drink is broken?
- Let me help you fix it? - Please fix it.
- It's amazing how they both have kinda landed on shepherd's pie.
Traditionally shepherd's pie is, like,
really hearty, stick-to-your-ribs kinda stew topped with mashed potatoes.
He is doing a regular potato, she is doing a sweet potato.
- TITUSS: Chefs, you have five minutes left.
- Oh, my gosh.
- I'm really confident with my dish.
Potatoes could separate us,
but also I put a lot of things in that shepherd's pie.
- AUTUMN: I'm still worried about these potatoes,
and I'm hoping that my palate didn't lie me
and those were sweet potatoes.
- Five, four, three... - DANNY: Four three,
- two, one. - TITUSS: ...two...
- Happy new...
[groans]
- That's time, you guys.
Ooh!
- Nick, what in the hell is this?
- I made a shepherd's pie with Idaho potatoes.
- Dig in.
- I think this is delicious. - Thank you.
- You chose regular potatoes over sweet potatoes.
- Yeah. - Why is that?
- There was definitely a presence of sweetness
and I just kinda thought it was, like, overcooked carrots.
So I just went with the OG shepherd's pie.
- Thank you, Nick.
- Can I get this a go? You got a box?
- TITUSS: Oh, Autumn, what the hell did you make?
- I made a sweet potato shepherd's pie.
- TITUSS: This is beautiful.
- It's great. - And it tastes wonderful.
- MICHELLE: When I think shepherd's pie I think like Thanksgiving.
Like, be on a couch, with your pants, like, unzipped.
It makes me wanna wear crop top, like, Danny.
- Yes, belly button for days! - [screams]
- DANNY: Wait... - MICHELLE: Into it,
- DANNY: Yeah. - Difference.
- DANNY: What made you chose sweet potato?
- When you taste russet potatoes they are more creamy and starchy
and then sweet potatoes, they are sweet, of course.
- TITUSS: Thank you so much, Autumn. - MICHELLE: Yes.
- You're welcome. - DANNY: Good job.
- So let's cut to the chase.
The dishmantled plate was...
[screams]
- TITUSS: Shepherd's pie!
- Damn. - TITUSS: This shepherd's pie
contains carrots, onions, peas...
- [dings] - ...and sweet potatoes,
which means the winner is... Autumn. Ooh!
- DANNY: Congrats. - TITUSS: For trusting your palate
and identifying the sweet potatoes.
- Yay!
I'm so happy my palate told me to get sweet potatoes.
- Don't forget when life hands you a shepherd's pie smoothie...
- ALL: Run!
- That's what I would so. - I'd need the cardio.
