August 28 - September 3, 2022 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • 19 tastytv BY GEORGE DICKIE Viral sensations Try Guys bring their brand of comedy to Food Network with 'No-Recipe Road Trip' Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld, Ned Fulmer and Eugene Lee Yang are all about trial and error. In fact, it's practically baked into the name of their comedy troupe – the Try Guys. And now they're bringing their comic approach to cooking with "No-Recipe Road Trip With the Try Guys." Premiering Wednesday, Aug. 31, on Food Network, the hourlong series finds the quartet going on the road to cities such as Atlanta, Los Angeles and Nashville and dropping in on two establishments to try their signature dish and then try to recreate it without the aid of a recipe or any instruction but with 100 percent commitment. The twist here is that the Try Guys, who cut their comedic teeth as viral sensations on YouTube, have no culinary training but a few chops in the kitchen, so they're going on mainly their own intuition and past experience. "When we're trying to recreate a dish," Habersberger explains, "we're always trying to recreate the core of the dish, then put a fun twist on it that makes it so that it's something that no one's had before. Not always a good something no one's ever had before, but it was definitely something no one's ever had before. So there's the tasting the dish and then trying to creatively create something new without actually being trained chefs who are good at that." In Wednesday's opener, the Try Guys visit Nashville and the Indian restaurant Chaatable, where they try their hands at making dosas, which are similar to a crepe but made with fermented dough. "That was challenging," Kornfeld says. "I would say half of us ended up making pancakes." "I would say all of us made pancakes," Habersberger adds. "I don't think anyone successfully made a dosa as a dosa should be. Also, none of us really knew what a dosa was ... so we had to figure out how to make a quick dosa, which is really something that kind of – I wouldn't say doesn't exist but is not the popular version of it. So it was super hard and very confusing. None of us did anything right.' At the end of each episode, the chef with the most successful dish, as determined by a local chef and a guest judge, wins and gets the chance to have their dish put on that restaurant's menu. However outside the box it may be. "We're judging on taste, presentation and creativity," Kornfeld says. "So depending on how lost we are, we may find ourselves leaning more into creativity."
