- Well y'all, today is the day.
0:04
You have heard this man right here
0:06
challenge me on his chicken and dumplings against mine.
0:11
So, we decided that day, okay, we'll have a competition.
0:15
Well, people have been asking,
0:18
when are y'all going to do it?
0:19
When are y'all going do it?
0:20
Well, today's the day.
0:22
It's kind of cold down here
0:24
and chicken and dumplings would taste mighty good.
0:28
- Especially mine.
0:29
- Wouldn't they? (Paula laughing)
0:31
So I got in the kitchen and I made my chicken and dumplings.
0:34
I didn't use a recipe, just all by my gut.
0:37
- She cheated a little bit.
0:38
- I did not cheat.
0:40
- Because if you read her cookbook, it ain't the same.
0:43
So she changed it.
0:45
- You know, I. - She was scared.
0:47
I don't blame her. - I'm so scared.
0:48
- I don't blame her.
0:50
- I am so scared. (Paula laughing)
0:52
- She had to step her game up a little bit.
0:53
- So, Michael wasn't allowed in the kitchen
0:55
when I was making my chicken and dumplings
0:57
and I respected him enough
0:59
that I didn't go in the kitchen while he was making his.
1:02
Although, I did see him around the corner one time
1:05
when I was cooking.
1:06
I saw him peaking.
1:09
Yes, he was peeping.
1:10
He was peeking.
1:12
Yeah, peeking, that's a word.
1:14
(Paula laughing)
1:16
So Michael, I just talked to Troy, and he took
1:20
our chicken and dumplings up to the kitchen
1:22
to put them on the stove to heat them up.
1:24
So,
1:27
we've got two pots,
1:29
but I don't even know which my pot is.
1:33
And he may know his pot, but anyway.
1:35
- Mine's the winner. (Paula laughing)
1:37
- You got him spoon, sonny boy.
1:41
This is a blind taste test.
1:43
I don't, I don't whose that is right there.
1:47
I don't know.
1:48
- Who's keeping score, are you keeping score?
1:50
- This is my son Jamie.
1:53
This is Jamie. (people laughing)
1:54
- I'm just doing what Mama said.
1:56
- That's right, smart answer, smart boy.
1:58
(Paula laughing)
1:59
- Well, do y'all have anything in there besides stock?
2:02
(people murmuring and laughing)
2:07
- [Michael] That's just a jigger full.
2:09
- [Paula] And y'all don't think,
2:10
don't worry about hurting anybody's feelings
2:12
because this is all done in fun.
2:15
- [Michael] And Paula's a big girl.
2:18
- [Paula] They, oh, I know, he's serious.
2:19
He does not like to lose, honey.
2:22
- [Michael] Paula's a big girl, she can handle it.
2:24
- [Paula] That's exactly right.
2:25
I got broad shoulders. (people murmuring)
2:31
You need a a napkin?
2:33
You got one in your.
2:36
(people laughing)
2:38
Let me go get some napkins.
2:40
- [Jamie] You didn't get any?
2:41
- That's okay, we'll share.
2:42
We're just tasting.
2:43
We already had the chicken and dumplings.
2:45
- She just texted me again, she said she threw her back out.
2:49
(people murmuring)
2:51
- [Paula] All right, who all needs a napkin?
2:53
Everybody?
2:54
- I'm always a mess. (Paula laughing)
2:57
- You've never had chicken and dumplings before?
3:01
- Seriously?
3:02
- Where you from?
3:03
- New York, New York.
3:07
- Forget about it.
3:09
- Forget about it, right.
3:10
(everyone laughing)
3:12
- Well I'm so glad that you're a virgin,
3:15
(women laughing)
3:16
and being able to taste the real deal.
3:19
- Yes, yes.
3:21
- Because you might, can order them in a restaurant,
3:22
but it's a good chance it's not gonna be the real deal.
3:31
- All right, y'all, round two.
3:33
- [Paula] Maybe I was living in a dream.
3:35
Maybe I was living in a dream.
3:38
(everyone laughing)
3:41
- Like a servant. - Yes.
3:48
All right, discerning voices from table number three.
3:52
- This is a hard decision.
3:58
- I'm gonna have to have a couple more samples.
4:00
(everyone laughing)
4:04
- [Paula] If I win, he'll be alright in a week.
4:08
- Just a week?
4:09
- He'll have to cry for a week.
4:11
- So what if he wins?
4:12
- I'm gonna cry for two weeks.
4:14
(everyone laughing)
4:16
- The worst I can do is come in number two.
4:18
Number second.
4:20
(Paula laughing)
4:22
- We're gonna do a count.
4:24
Those that think number one was the best
4:27
please raise your hand.
4:30
(people murmuring)
4:32
Okay, it's three for one.
4:34
And number two, raise your hand.
4:37
- Wow. - [Paula] Three.
4:39
- Wow, it's a landslide.
4:41
- It is a landslide,
4:43
but I don't know who number two's is.
4:46
- I do.
4:46
- I know who number two is.
4:48
(everyone laughing)
4:49
- Come in here and raise the arm of the winner.
4:52
- Okay. - Okay, go ahead.
4:54
- Come here, come around here.
4:56
- I know who's it is.
4:57
- What was the score of the vote?
4:59
- Three for one. - Three to a hundred.
5:01
- And eight for the second.
5:03
- Okay, all right, gimme your hands.
5:05
Y'all ready? - Yes.
5:06

5:10
(crowd yelling)
5:12
(crowd laughing)
5:17
- Jamie, you're lying to me!
5:20
(people laughing)
5:23
Jamie, are you lying to me?
5:25
(people laughing)
5:30
- You're my mama, I love you.
5:31
Been cooking for me for 56 years,
5:32
that is by far the single worst pot of chicken and dumplings
5:35
you have ever cooked in your whole life.
5:37
Congratulations Michael.
5:39
(people laughing)
5:44
- I thought number two was yours.
5:47
- I thought number two was mine too!
5:50
(people laughing)
5:51
- I really did.
5:51
- All right, let me ask you.
5:52
- I was feeling pretty bad
5:53
when I got three and a half votes.
5:55
(people laughing)
5:56
- You learn more from a defeat than
5:57
you would from any win.
5:59
- Well, I want a sample them both.
6:01
- Okay, I want you to.
6:02
I tell you what, I tell you what, mom
6:05
from the get, your stock was a little thin today.
6:08
(people murmuring)
6:10
- I don't know, I liked yours, Paula.
6:13
I did.
6:14
Yes, for the record, Miss Paula, I loved it.
6:18
- I feel so, I feel so glad
6:20
that three of y'all voted for her.
6:24
'Cause it would've been horrible if I'd a get.
6:29
- Well, what can I say?
6:31
- If everybody voted for me.
6:34
So I'm so glad for the three of y'all
6:36
that voted for Paula.
6:38
- I just want y'all to know,
6:41
that on my deathbed, I will still be hearing this.
6:45
I will still be listening to this.
6:48
He is gonna throw it up in my face.
6:51
- [Jamie] First it was tuna.
6:52
- First it was tuna.
6:53
- Winner winner, chicken dinner.
6:55
Winner winner, chicken dinner.
6:59
(Micheal laughing)
7:01
- Well, I made-
7:03
- [Michael] Where's your trophies?
7:03
- I want y'all to know, I made my dumplings
7:05
just like my grandma Paul taught me.
7:07
They were not frozen strips.
7:10
- [Crowd In Unison] Ooh.
7:15
- Okay, I'll tell you another story.
7:17
(people laughing)
7:17
The reason this started,
7:18
the reason I challenged her, from the get-go
7:22
is she used to cook her chicken and dumps and it was good
7:26
but she would put the leg, the bones in it
7:29
and the skin-
7:30
- I put in the whole pieces.
7:31
I took out the skin.
7:32
- And the veins and all that gristle and nasty stuff
7:36
that you don't eat.
7:38
So I said, my chicken and dumplings is better than yours.
7:42
And then she found out my secret
7:44
and so she says, okay, I'm gonna cheat
7:47
and do it like you do it.
7:49
So she had to take all of her,
7:53
no bones in hers.
7:54
She did it like mine.
7:55
But that was the reason I challenged her from the get-go
7:59
because my presentation was much better.
8:02
You could eat everything in mine, not grizzle and veins
8:07
and bones and it,
8:08
and you had to pick the bones up out of a hot dish.
8:12
- My grandma-
8:13
- [Michael] And eat it and half of it.
8:14
- My grandma.
8:15
- [Michael] Half of it all over you
8:17
by the time you finished.
8:18
- [Woman At Table] You are a sore winner.
8:19
- Listen, and I did today. - [Micheal] Huh?
8:21
- You are a sore winner.
8:23
You throwing her under the bus.
8:25
- [Michael] So that's how it started.
8:27
This is how this thing and issue started.
8:30
- Well, congratulations.
8:31
- Well, thank you.
8:33
(people applauding)
8:34
- Congratulations.
8:36
(people applauding)
8:37
But do be a good winner, don't-
8:39
- Winner winner, chicken dinner.
8:41
(people laughing)
8:44
- Y'all excuse me, I'm going to taste this
8:47
chicken and dumplings and I'm gonna decide
8:50
on my tongue, which is the best.
8:52
I'll say it, okay.
8:54
I'll vote and if his is better, I will say it.
8:58
- We have a development.
9:01
- [Crowd In Unison] - Ohh.
9:04
- The
9:06
correct results.
9:09
Mama won, I should have known.
9:11
The pots got mixed up.
9:12
Mom was two, Mike was one.
9:14
- [Crowd In Unison] Ohh.
9:15
Let me tell you for the record.
9:17
(people laughing)
9:19
- [Man At Table] Plot twist.
9:21
- Actually, Mike Groover has made the very worst pot
9:25
of chicken and dumplings I ever tasted
9:27
and mom's is the best I ever had.
9:29
All is right with the world.
9:31
- I swear I thought, when y'all were eating it
9:33
I thought number two was falling
9:36
'cause she did, she actually did make her own dumplings.
9:40
And I could tell by that.
9:42
And when they said me,
9:44
I just knew three of y'all.
9:46
- I did win.
9:47
(crowd applauding)
9:49
- [Michael] I told you I thought that.
9:51
- Well, this is yours Michael.
9:53
- [Man At Table] It's good.
9:54
- And it's good.
9:55
But it doesn't have enough salt in it, doesn't have lots.
9:58
- [Woman At Table] That's what I thought, absolutely.
10:00
- Salt?
10:01
- More salt, more salt.
10:03
- I've never been good at salt.
10:04
- Well, these are delicious
10:05
and when I get through with them-
10:07
- Well, I'm glad three of y'all voted for me.
10:09
(people laughing)
10:09
- And when I get through with them they will be extra good.
10:14
- [Woman At Table] It was very good, very good.
10:17
- Winner winner, chicken dinner.
10:19
(everyone laughing)
10:22
- I knew that was yours
10:23
or I thought it was
10:24
because the dumplings
10:27
in number two- - Was real.
10:29
- Looked like yours.
10:30
- Uh-huh, these real, like me.
10:33
(people laughing)
10:34
- Is that, what do you think?
10:35
- This is yours.
10:37
- What'd you think?
10:38
- I just told you, you's busy running your mouth.
10:41
(people laughing)
10:43
- Oh, delicious.
10:44
(Paula laughing)
10:47
- They are very good.
10:48
And I'll go home and I'll add some salt to it and butter.
10:52
I always put about a half a stick of butter
10:54
at the very last in my chicken and dumplings.
10:57
Hello folks, how are you?
11:01
So, we're sampling chicken and dumplings

11:34
but it's the after effect. (Paula laughing)
11:37
that's hard to stomach.
11:39
Winner winner, chicken dinner,
11:41
winner winner, chicken dinner.
11:43
(Paula laughing)
11:44
Like we did this on the spur of the moment.
11:46
Everything was unplanned.
11:48

11:50

11:56
That was wonderful.
