This Mythical Kitchen video explores the often-overlooked world of complimentary bread at chain restaurants. Hosts Josh Scherer and Nicole Enayati rank various types of free bread from different establishments, based on taste and overall experience.
Key Takeaways
Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits receive high praise: The hosts appreciate their flavor and texture, noting they aren't overly heavy on leavening agents. They score a composite 8.65/10.
Outback Steakhouse bread is a strong contender: Praised for its density, moist interior, and sweetness, it receives a 9.6/10.
Texas Roadhouse rolls are declared the winner: Despite being considered more like a dessert due to their high sugar content, the rolls, especially when dipped in the provided butter, are deemed the best free bread, with a final score of 9.8/10.
Olive Garden breadsticks are deemed the most overrated: The hosts find them oddly bitter and lacking in flavor, scoring them a low 4.75/10.
California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) bread also receives positive feedback: Its crusty texture and dipping oil are highlighted, resulting in a score of 8.8/10.
