Josh Scherer's Daily Food Ritual Is Wrecking Us
Mythical Kitchen's host and head chef, Josh Scherer, never ceases to keep viewers wildly entertained while they eat up his videos. Whether he's recreating ancient dishes, revealing recipe hacks, or rounding up guests for a good ol' cooking challenge, there's never a shortage of silly antics that keep his fans engaged and hungry for more. However, when it comes to Scherer's daily food ritual, we're more than a little concerned. Someone actually might want to ask this man if he's okay.
When thinking about all the bizarre food rituals around the world, this one isn't as culturally sound as you might think. It's more of, well, quite an interesting choice. The YouTube chef's decision to carry his lunch to work in his gym bag without Tupperware or other food storage containers is only the first red flag. Besides exposing his freshly-made meals to whatever delicious lint particles potentially living in there, we also have questions about how often Scherer may or may not be regularly washing his backpack to keep this food ritual going.
In a TikTok video, viewers can see how his coworkers are troubled by Scherer's odd behavior as they secretly film him coming into work after a trip to the gym and sitting down to eat a questionably-sized portion of baked ziti. Apparently, Scherer does this every day, and nobody knows why — but it seems that commenters are not surprised in the slightest.
Baked ziti or shepherd's pie, Josh Scherer eats it all
We'll try to paint a picture of Josh Scherer's food ritual, but you probably need to see this tomfoolery yourself. First, Scherer gently places a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch on what looks like a meeting room table before sitting down comfortably. Then, it's chow time. Watch in horror as he unzips his gym bag and dumps out a small mountain of saucy baked ziti in front of him, complete with a drizzle of ranch dressing.
@mythicalkitchen Does anyone know how we get Josh to stop doing this??! #mythical #mythicalkitchen #mythicalchefjosh #food #foodie #foodtiktok #lunch #work
In the video, a coworker can be seen briefly and quickly walking past him without judgment so the man can do his thing in peace. Even though this is obviously an act, knowing this fact didn't stop commenters from agreeing that this is the "most normal Josh behavior." And they still love him for it. "I wouldn't be surprised if Josh actually did this every day," said the video's top comment, to which Scherer responded with, "No comment at this time."
You've got to admit that there never seems to be a dull moment at Mythical Kitchen. Besides being a generally goofy guy, Scherer wears several different hats as the face of the show. He's no stranger to food journalism, so to be able to transition to an on-camera cooking gig while still having fun is a pretty awesome job perk. However, we humbly request that you refrain from releasing unbagged ziti in the workplace, no matter how charming Scherer's quirkiness may seem.
