Travis Barker did his interview with Harper's Bazaar where he shares his favorite things to eat and what a typical day of eating looks like for him, he's a vegan king so naturally I had to give it a try. WARNING: much money will be spent. Which celebrity should we eat like next?!

Okay team, which one are you most and least likely to try/ recreate?
The chicken and waffles looked mighty tasty.
I'd recreate the meatless pasta
Chicken & waffles w/ potatoes !!
I would try anything but would make it at home instead of buying it. Food is just too expensive right now.
yessss mashed potatoes @@jennlarkins5590
I would like to see you recreate some of these dishes so they can be accessible for someone on a budget ❤
yesss!!
Yes... Also, a good sub for pepperoni is the beyond spicy sausage links. Those are my fav.
Noted!!
Also for those of us outside LA forsure lol
I second that 🤘🏼
Travis owns Crossroads. He's just promoting his own restaurant 🤣
He's just an investor but this was interesting to know
@@smome7773 while he may not be a full owner, he still benefits from the profits
OMG HE'S SO SNEAKY! LMFAO I was 100% bamboozled, but also don't regret it bc their food is so damn good lol
@@MerleONealKardashian’s also sponsor impossible
@@swik5951 Ya know what, good for them for supporting vegan businesses hahaha
$24 for 2 chickin tenders and half a waffle is outrageous.
It looked like a kid's meal!
😢
@@M0chalattaI'm so used to the size of gluten-free meals (especially sandwiches), that I didn't even realize that it's smaller than "normal" portions. 😢
When I visited for LA, we went there for a fancy brunch and I already knew it was going to be expensive, but as someone who lives in the south, I HAD to get get the chicken and waffles. The way my jaw dropped when they brought out HALF a waffle for that price... To be fair, it was pretty filling and I don't think I could have ate a whole waffle and 4 pieces of chicken, but STILL.
@@1029blue
You can eat lots of food that hasn't got gluten in
Meat and veg and fish and fruit
Eat more food
I always humble myself with crossroads. It is in fact, gourmet vegan food run by chef Tal. This is the place my partner and I will go to treat ourselves once a year. Legit, their valentines courses were absolutely amazing and this is one of the only places that I feel like you actually get what you pay for.
Now remake everything you ate and tell us the “at home “ cost and taste comparison please 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
LOL that's actually not a bad idea
As a Canadian, none of these prices seem high. Yes, our dollar is not the same, but our food is just all so expensive that these prices seem normal, reasonable almost for a fancy vegan place
I live in Memphis, which is under the average cost of living in the US, and while I certainly don’t like the prices or eat like that often, I honestly don’t know where I could go here to have anything like the chicken and waffles or the pasta for that kind of price.
Yes agreed! Fellow Canadian here and the prices are outrageous! 😭
Yep so true ! I left Canada but even when we left ... the prices were skyrocketed. A single broccoli head was 12$ at our only and local store. 12 $ !!!!! So many Americans in big cities don't know how easy they have it. This isn't a comparison, this is reality. Sadly ...
That's what i was thinking!!!!!
How much do canadians earn per month approximately?
The Crossroads stuff is so ever priced!! Yowsa! Thanks for taking one for the team!
Merle doing a Kourtney impression gives me LIFE 😂 it really helps to distract from the insane cost of some of these dishes
Also it finally clicked why Kourtney and Travis get along - the vegan thing 😂 I can’t believe it took this video to actually get me to realise this
Rubyyyyy I should have brought out the new yorka accent from our warehouse days in Woostah
Nothing wrong with brown bananas! They’re sweeter and more flavourful even if they’re not aesthetically appealing
apPEELing
this is why I love you @@MerleONeal
Merle, we LOVE your beautiful Libra soul! I so look forward to all of your videos, no matter what you're doing! I miss your singing though, if I'm honest! Thanks for showing us another, better way
Your videos are so chill and never stress me out. RUclips can seem really overstimulating sometimes. Thank you lol
Glad you like them :) thanks for the love
This video was super interesting! I don't have another celebrity suggestion. However, I would love for you to try one of Derek Sarno's recipes. He is one of my favorite vegan chefs to watch. ❤
I'll have to check him out!
@@MerleONealyou’ve never seen the wicked kitchen brothers? I gave my bf their cookbook as a present one year, the hardly ever use fake meat, they are mushroom heavy, and they even have a line of products
Yes yes yes yes to this comm
I just bought the vegan queso hot sauce from Heatonist and that's really good on my breakfast sandwiches. Eating like Pamela Anderson could be a fun one to try.
The Kourtney impression at the end made me giggle snort :P This sounds nuts, but as expensive as a lot of this stuff is, it feels like the norm these days for fast food no matter where it is. Here in New Jersey, it feels that way. I'd just rather put the money into mom and pop shops instead of big names. Thats just me.
Right, like by the time I order Ubereats or Doordash, I'm pretty much paying $25 for my food. This seemed right in line, other than you still have to pick it up.
I live in NYC and the place across the street from me has $26 chicken and waffles. The whole time I was thinking these prices just sound like kind of normal restaurant prices, which is why I don't go to restaurants hardly ever. (Except for the Erewhon stuff, which did seem expensive for grocery store prepared food.)
Love your knife set!!
Oh, Erewhon...I was in LA a few months ago helping someone with a move, and we went to Erewhon once bc it was nearby. All we bought were a few groceries (spent nearly $50 on not very many things), then spent over $40 on 2 smoothies (and about half an hour waiting for them to be made) Yeah, $20 smoothies. They were good, but I don't think I would do regularly if I lived there. Strawberry Probiotic and Malibu Mango. I probably would have those once a week if they were half the price. Good thing there was a Trader Joe's and Whole Foods nearby, as well as some smaller grocery stores. I live in a fairly expensive area myself (Bay Area), but even those prices took me aback. Gotta say, LA as a whole does have some seriously amazing food, and this is coming from someone who lives in an area with amazing food already.
I love your content. I’m not vegan or vegetarian. I don’t live in LA or America, and i dont know who Travis Barker is. Still love it though.
bahaha thank you for the love and support
Maybe you might be familiar with his band? Ever heard of Blink 182? He's the drummer.
Loved the video, Merle. Never thought I was see you do anything to do with Travis Barker :'D
He seems like a lovely man
One of my favourite musicians with one of my favourite youtubers, can't complain. Shame that its all so pricey though. @@MerleONeal
One of my favorite same foods is a just egg English muffin sandwich with violife cheddar, tahini and sriracha 😍 with nooch!!
Another BANGER of a video Merle :) also did you change ranking systems halfway through? 😭😭 or am I insane
you are not insane, I totally lost the plot on the ranking system hahaha so I was basically doing two at the same time 😅
The videos I remember the most were those you made from Tasty about trying simple vegan meals. You can try vegan meals from other countries, which use real veggies and food. For example, springrolls from Vietnam (fried and raw), the special thing is the peanut sauce, japchae from Korea, and rich veggie dip from veggies for dipping (those are my common vegan meals when I want to eat meatless). The diet in this video sounds super expensive to me. And if possible, can you make a video sharing how to be vegan and obtain full nutrients at the same time? Thank you!
I second the ask for full- nutrition meals (bonus the more simple and zerowaste you can go)
Prices seem pretty on par with elsewhere. At least here on the east coast places regularly charge $10+ for a smoothie, and I recently spent $40-50 on two plates, a kombucha and a lemonade at a vegan restaurant. Erewhon seems about the same price as the salad bar at Whole Foods.
$24 is an average meal cost in Canada 😂
More like 90$ for two lol now in Montreal, my pal and his husband cannot go to the restaurant without spending less than that for a small meal and a bev. Outrageous. Outrageous. I don't have words. I am complaining but I will, it's totally unacceptable ! When I think about people not even being able to be fed .....
If you want a delicious vegan chicken and waffles experience, check out The Wild Chive in Long Beach! It's a little pricey as well, which is kinda to be expected at most vegan restaurants these days. But not as expensive as Crossroads, and the portions are generous. Their chicken and waffles dish is probably twice the size of Crossroads'. I usually have leftovers. Make sure to ask for a side of their housemade hot sauce too! Soooo gooood
Yes, they're totally worth it!!
Your impression of Courtney was so good when I looked down at my screen I was startled to see you merle🤣🤣
wow thank you, my nostrils worked hard for that one
HAHA the kourtney impression omg 😆
8:15 Bridesmaids reference 😂😂
You’re a Libra also💜🤗🤗 no wonder I love your energy from tasty days. Your videos are the best. Although I’m not 100% vegan yet I have, you’re helping. Ps I’m Oct 5 ahhhhhh
Omg birthday twins!!!! Thanks for the love :)
@@MerleONeal ahhh best news for the day 💜💜 twins.
More like this ❤❤
Okay but that Crossroads pasta was heavenly!
ty for eating it
I'd want a Natalie Portman one!! Also, the Kourtney outtakes at the end was hilarious ahahhaah
Wish there was a crossroads kitchen in the uk!! It’s so rare to see vegan and gluten free friendly restaurants
Everyone's talking about your Kourtney impression but your travis one sent me😂
Frozen silken tofu will give a great texture for chicken stuff
Love Crossroads homemade croissants! They give u 3 different flavors, but on the smaller side. If still available
Love our vegan queen!! I always look forward to these videos!! Also, as a fellow libra, can relate 😂❤❤❤
when Aria's recording it sounds like Michael Myers is filming you lmaoooooo, love u both😭😭
LMFAO
My wife and I haven't eaten out at a restaurant in 20 years for this reason, just ungodly expensive and frankly I can make better at home.
I make my own Fettuccine noodles from fresh milled Khorasan wheat berries which is not gluten free but it has about 1/3rd the gluten and being an ancient grain has a different type of gluten which is much easier digestible for those with that sensitivity.
A huge serving for two people cost me about .20 cents to make.
I make a bolognese sauce from mushrooms, cauliflower, walnuts, I grow my own gourmet mushrooms and the sauce cost probably about $2-$3 tops.
I mill my own wheat for garlic bread, a huge loaf cost me about $1.
So what I make at home for two huge servings is about $3.50 plus a decent bottle of wine that I usually get from Trader Joes for way less than $10 a bottle, so less than $13 for TWO meals plus wine vs $24 no wine for ONE is a no brainer.
How much time does it take to do all that?
@@thecerealsong i can make a batch of Fettuccine, the dough about 10 minutes, let sit 30 minutes, make the noodles in about 10 minutes, let dry until I am ready to cook them which is usually 30 minutes.
Cook them takes 2 minutes.
So basically if I want to eat Fettuccine at 5:30 I can start making it at 4.
And the actual time I am spending is only about 20 minutes.
A large loaf of bread last 3 to 4 days.
Takes about 35 minutes of actual work to make a loaf of bread, rest of the 90 minutes is just letting it rise twice and 20 minutes to bake it. And then do it again every 4 to 5 days.
It can be "time consuming" but preparing a delicious meal for (or with) the love of you life makes it all worth it. Not only you are saving money, but also spending quality time with them. I do enjoy going to some fancy restaurants once in a while to treat myself, however, in my country food is not as expensive and the portions are big haha so I don't mind it that much
@@helenvelasquez5154and should live longer because I only buy the best 100% organic or grow it myself .
Same with our little dog, my wife makes all of her food and treats fresh from the best ingredients we can get.
Cost more for her, for us it actually cost less to eat well.
But if she would have been eating bagged kibble the past 14 years I seriously doubt she would still be with us.
@@nunyabizz50 omg that's so lovely! My family dog lived 16 years and we also fed him homemade food. My dog's siblings lived around 8 to 10 years and they all had "traditional" dog food. So there is proof haha I fully agree with you!
Merle!! Great video. :) What do you do to keep those teeth of yours so white?? (anything other than brushing & flossing twice daily?)
you're so sweet! Truth is, I just floss and brush! I used to bleach them like maybe 7 or 8 years ago but it hurt my gums too much
What you said about impossible meat is super valid. I like that more companies are getting vegan options but at the end of the day they all taste similar because it has the beyond undertone.
Merle, your Kourtney impression at the end...I can't lmao
Traaaaaav.......
Girl, you gotta go to Smith+Deli or Smith+Daughters if you ever go to Australia. Forgetting the fact that Travis Barker and Billie Eilish basically ate there the entire time they were touring in Melbourne, it's SO GOOD. Their vegan cacio e pepe is the best.
Crossroads rules...best brunch in LA!
Everything is so expensive now in L.A. It's weird, because Erewhon still has the vegan broccoli beef listed on the menu. Also, you have to try the Haley Beiber smoothie. It's the best one. But even more expensive.
Wasn't that the telecom Logo on the rocket money ad? Is the telecom international? I thought there's nothing more German than telecom. :D
My favorite celebrity fact is how Ville Valo is a vegan now. I just think that's so awesome and admirable to his character
Watching you drop $40 at Erewhon for subpar food is literally the reason I've stopped going out to eat outside of special occasions. I can make better food at home! I'd love to see you take on making these recipes at home & then compare the two both cost-wise and flavor-wise
I am RIGHT there with you! I hardly ever go out to eat aside from special occasions or my videos hahaha
💙
The prices don’t seem too bad considering it was good vegan food. What makes me mad is when the only vegan option is a giant pretzel on the appetizer menu and that costs $12-14. I always think the same thing about getting ice cream out…you could make 4 sundaes for that price! Thanks for doing the work for us!
I'm Canadian and that maple syrup looks legit. Must be from Quebec to be more exact, in which case it explains the price because its price basically doubled in the last 4 years.
It was grade A syrup for sureeee
Crazy you could tell the province just from how it looks lol, I’m not at that level of Canadian yet
Good video, but Travis Barker was in a horrific plane crash a few years ago, nearly died and had a TON of skin graft surgeries, that may be why he seems tired
OMG!! Thank God he survived 😢
Cool concept #SaveSoil 🍃🍃🍃
Is your background music from the dancing fruits??
I make vegan bolognese at home all the time and it's so cheap but also delicious and filling, so I don't think I could ever spend that much on a bolognese, but, it is fun to try the expensive food now and again as a rare treat I suppose.
Sadly I guessed right on the chicken and waffles being $25 😭 I get what you're saying about using Impossible Meat. While we do enjoy it, you'd hope for so much money maybe they'd make something themselves instead of falling back on Impossible or Beyond.
You get itttttt
Your Kardashian out take was hilarious.
all nasal
I’d love to see an- “eat like Sadie Sink” for a day!
ohhh do you know of any interviews where she's talked about her diet?
the cameraman breathing is so funny
I was just commenting on how robin said "tu MER ic" instead of "TUmeric" he said it like her ! Waha missssssing youuuuu
LMAO thank you for pointing that out, it was so distracting to me, idk why i didn't comment on it in the vid
Also make Natalie Portman and Alicia Silverstone recipes, for a video, oh, and then, watch one of their movies and give a review. Dinner and a movie :)
I actually did try a Natalie Portman week night stew recently- it was so good!!
I had that Pepperoni Pizza and have been dreaming of it ever since. Crossroads prices are crazy but as a foreigner travelling to LA am I wrong if i felt everywhere else was not that much cheaper? I mean Crossroads prices are a bit more but it really didn’t shock me after every other restaurant, I was kind of expecting it to be even worse.
That price would be a steal in New Zealand lol
What’s crazy is that those are regular prices for vegan restaurants in Dallas,TX
Tx is not cheap contrary to popular belief
I just paid 22 dollars for a vegan ramen that actually was INCREDIBLE ON beyond Sushi but come on ! lol
What kind of chicken and waffles are those? There's no Gladys Knights Chicken n' Waffles close by? You'd get larger thighs, bigger waffles and better sides.
chicken and waffles w potatoes
Are there decent restaurants in LA where a main dish costs less than $25?? Cuz I haven’t found any.
I think it's also shocking bc the portion size was so small.
totally agree with you about the fake meat. The thing that bothers me the most about the impossible meat, is some places made amazing veggie burgers, but stopped serving them once the impossible meat came around (also pretending like there were other similar items out there before it)
Garofalo corn and quinoa pasta
He owns Crossroads 😂😂😂😂
Hey what vegan protein powders do you recommend, I have been looking for some but all the ones I try don't taste great
Garden of Life sport! ( i like the chocolate one!
Wow no words lol
He owns crossroads kitchen and Kardashian’s sponsor impossible burger
Wow i thought for that kind of money you would get Something you cant get any where else, something special. I can't really compare prices since i live in Europe, but that much money for just okay food? That is wild
Maybe it’s because I live near Seattle and the food is so damn expensive but I thought 24 was a reasonable price for a restaurant for a brunch.
I didn’t know crossroads had Chikn and waffles!!!! and most restaurants charge $20+ these days
All good
I'm from NYC. Based on prices in my area, here's what I'd expect:
Vegan restaurant waffles- $18
Smoothie- $3
Breakfast sandwich- $5
Smoothie- $6
"Beef & Broccoli"- $25
Vegan restaurant pizza- $15
Vegan restaurant pasta- $25
Vegan restaurant dessert- $10
Yay, also falling for the 'must have more protein' spiel. We only need around 3-5% of our daily calories to come from protein, that's how little is in human breast milk. Unless you plan on doing more growing than an infant (or want to help grow cancer, they like extra methionine and leucine in spades). Source, dr. Peter Rogers biochemistry lectures on cancer growth.
Looking to build muscle mass :)
@@MerleONeal I get it :). What's advised is just a lot more than what's actually needed and excess protein isn't without dangers is all. Best of luck and gains.
Thank you! I learned the same think through Dr. Michael Greger a number of years ago but same message. Excess protein increases your risk for many things like cancer, metabolic diseases and death, more so animal protein but even a lot excess plant protein can have negative effects beyond a certain amount, differences depending on the person. The average person only uses about .66g/kg of healthy body weight (not including excess body fat). Only equates to 45g/day for the average 150 lb healthy person. Though 0.8g/kg is advised just to ensure one with higher protein requirements doesn't lose any muscle mass, still the average vegan gets about 170% of this standard.
@@phillippinter7518 Thank you for your reply. I often get pitchforks when i mention anything about limiting protein (or fat for that matter).
Do a Lewis Hamilton day!
Lol i guessed that the chicken breasts were 50$ or smth... I guess I am just crazy used to these expensive prices in Iceland 😢
I think I just learned that I too have expensive taste because none of those prices felt outrageous lol (it’s important to note that I make a lower middle class income and live in the DC area so everything to me is expensive and therefore nothing is expensive, it’s just standard lol)
Fun fact: Andy Hurley is also a tattooed vegan drummer (from Fall Out Boy). Not bald tho!
My monthly food budget is $200. I won't be trying these anytime soon.
😍😊
All I kept thinking was...what investment does Travis have in this restaurant?! And then I saw the comments lol. I am a Blink fan from 1 million years ago so I have to love him but yes, tired (and not boring) was the correct phrase lol
I hate how expensive vegan food is everywhere. How are people supposed to want to eat it when they can get a $5 whole chicken at Sams. Thanks for taking 1 for the team.
Eating out at places that specifically market to vegans is expensive. Just remember at the end of the day that any plant is vegan. Think about the foods you're used to eating and just cut out the animal products, there's still plenty of things left to eat.
The hardest part is you kinda have to learn how to cook again and how to reformat your meals to not being meat centric.
@necoxus1061 I am a plant based chef and I am struggling to find a good price point for my patrons. I don't see the point of charging $24 for anything. That will not keep them coming back if anything they will not want to eat vegan at all is what I meant with my comment. These price points will discourage angone. Like literally veggies rice and beans are so cheap. I'll never understand.
@@gabrielaherrera3665 I see what you're saying now, that makes a lot of sense.
I live in a small southern-ish town and I think a lot about trying to open a late night vegan diner. The fun thing about the diner format is it would let me throw together all kinds of random menu items and let people choose what they want.
I feel like overall breakfast is a category that vegans can do well in with a restaurant. Especially if you can do some sort of house made seiten sausage or something similar.
He's just relaxed babe that's the grass
this made me lol 😂
I said $18 for the chicken and waffles but you said more so I said $24! Boom 💥
$22 for that much (healthy) food in LA is actually a deal these days lmao the Erewhon hot bar is low key not a bad deal. Their other vegan stuff like the lasagna (turmeric reg and also the eggplant one) is much better than that fake meat stuff.
Sorry to inform but Denny's pancakes in Costa Rica is more expensive
Celebrities: Alicia Silverstone, Natalie Portman, maybe even Lizzo o Madelaine Petsch. If you are looking for high protein options, see bodybuilder Brian Turner.
Ps. I make a killer vegan bolognese with mushrooms and lentils 👌
I second Madelaine Petsch ! She ate so well
He's tired because being married into Kardashian family is EXHAUSTING!
The way he said turmeric surprised me. 😅
same lmao never heard it said like that
OMG, you almost lost five dollars when that waffle dropped! I've been to Crossroads vegas 3 times now and so over the price. At first I was paying for the fancy experience but the options aren't that elevated.
Do you ever train core/abs? :)
My favorite girl Merle… 🤗❤️🥰
🥰
I can barely afford a bottle of water at Erewhon.
Feed two birds with one scone!!🤣
Your other comment was annoying but this has redeemed it because I absolutely LOVE this and am gonna use it instead of "kill two birds with one stone"!
