  1. 0:00Josh introduces the gourmet Baconator project, followed by wigs and a taste of the original burger.
  2. 14:38Josh strips cooked oxtail meat and adds it to bacon lardons for the jam.
  3. 22:38After ten days of curing and smoking, Trevor slices the wagyu brisket and ribeye bacon.
  4. 27:15Josh melts gourmet cheeses with sodium citrate and milk to create an American-style cheese block.

  6. 40:35Josh and Trevor compare the finished burger with a regular Baconator; the tasting and price breakdown begin.

The bacon needs ten days before this burger can come together. Josh Scherer and Trevor Evarts cure and smoke wagyu brisket and ribeye, then put them through a deli slicer: an unusually patient approach to fast food.

Mythical Kitchen's "We Spent $1,240 To Make a Wendy's Baconator" is a Fancy Fast Food episode built around recreating familiar components with extravagant ingredients. The pair start by eating the original, wearing red braided wigs supplied by the crew. A pretend car ride and a discussion of Wendy's emo album come before much of the cooking.

Underneath the detours, there is a detailed burger build. Josh grinds wagyu ribeye, cheeks and short ribs into square patties. He melts aged cheeses, including Mimolette, with sodium citrate and milk to make a sliceable American-style cheese block. Trevor prepares potato flour for the buns, while oxtail joins bacon lardons in a jam that also gets smoked sugar and elephant poop coffee.

The episode includes a paid protein-bar segment. Back at the stove, smoked bone marrow and sauce andalouse mayonnaise join the preparations. Assembly arrives well into the episode, with wagyu bacon, cheese, jam and sauce layered onto the patties; the final tasting puts a serving at about $208.

One popular viewer suggestion would turn the whole format inside out: start with a gourmet meal, then see how cheaply the kitchen can recreate it.
