My name is Tituss Burgess.
This is "Dishmantled!"
The bad-ass competition where we blast a dish to smithereens...
That was awesome!
to see if two blindfolded chefs can guess it...
What the heck?
...then make it.
Whoever makes a dish closest to what exploded on them
wins $5,000.
- Drink to that. - Okurr.
Y'all ready to watch me blow some shit up?
My name is Dan DuPraw.
Some people call me the Nancy Drew of identifying ingredients.
My name is Tova Sterling.
I am so excited because when else,
as a full-grown adult, are you gonna have food explode in your face?
Once I hit this button, you'll have 30 minutes to taste and cook,
for Marcus, Michael, and myself.
All rise.
Let's get "Dishmantled!"
Oh, my God.
Ohh!
That came at them with a vengeance.
I've had those mornings.
I am having none of this.
Ow!
- Oh! Tova's havin' a bad day. - Yeah.
So what are we seeing?
You have the red is tomato, right?
What are those-- What are those green things?
Well, it's definitely a bunch of olives and celery, right?
I taste something briny.
It's an olive. I feel something else. It's celery.
WTF?
I can't tell what that is.
Is that pasta?
Like, what is that?
I keep eating this bready thing. I don't know what it is.
I taste something else.
Okay, I think there's meat, here.
It has breading on it.
I don't even know, but it's mushy.
Maybe some sort of shrimp?
Maybe chicken?
- Shrimp? - Chicken?
Now they're just having dinner.
He ate so much.
- Guys, come on. - Let's go. We got this.
Okay, okay.
Whoa!
I'm gonna guess, like a gazpacho.
- Are you a good cook, Michael? - No!
What is the bready, rubbery mush that was shot at me?
My best guess is, like, maybe waffles?
What do I put olives, tomato,
mushy meat, and waffles in?
I'm making chicken and waffles, Bloody Mary.
We are havin' a full brunch spread.
In the tube, I tasted something soaked in tomato juice.
And I felt ridges.
There has to be waffles.
Tomato juice, olives, celery, waffles. It's brunch.
And I tasted something with breading on it.
I think it was shrimp.
So I'm making waffles, Bloody Mary, and shrimp?
I don't know.
We have less than 15 minutes!
Wow.
Tova's making a shrimp concoction, which I'm very excited about.
Chicken and waffle with a Bloody Mary? Yeah!
Now, shrimp and waffle? Hmm...
A little baby shaker.
I think in this Bloody Mary,
there was celery or asparagus.
Also, blue cheese stuffed olives, tomato juice, hot sauce.
Can't forget the booze.
Fingers crossed I used all the right ingredients.
And also fingers crossed that Tova didn't.
Brunch without booze is just people eating at 3:00
with no reason.
These are going to be whack low-budget Bloody Marys.
For the Bloody Mary ingredients,
I think I tasted celery, vegetable juice, vodka.
And then I just blank out
about the rest of the ingredients.
It's in God's hands now.
Five, four, three,
two, one...
Time's up!
What the hell is this, Dan?
This is the Dan's Chicken and Waffle Bloody Special.
- This Bloody Mary is delicious. - Is it?
- I'm not mad. - Hey!
What made you choose chicken?
I realized it was fried chicken
when I felt bready, mushy meat.
This is a very nice dish.
Thank you, Dan.
What is this, darling?
I have made you a Bloody Mary,
and some waffles and shrimp.
I've never had a shrimp and waffle dish before.
And like I would never wanna order that.
It makes sense that it would have been chicken and waffles.
But I thought I tasted shrimp.
Your dish is pretty.
But this ain't a Bloody Mary.
You're missing the horseradish,
the Worcester sauce...
It tastes like alcoholic vegetable juice.
That's exactly what it is.
Thank you, Tova.
Only one of you can walk away with $5,000.
The dishmantled plate is...
...a chicken and waffle Bloody Mary.
And the winner is... Dan!
Okurr.
Your ability to correctly identify the protein in the dish
is what earned you the title of Dishmantled champion.
Tova, thank you for introducing us to shrimp and waffles,
a new dish we'll never forget.
I'm an idiot.
Congratulations again, Dan.
Now go get your $5,000.
