- God damn it.
No! [laughs]
I'm not wearing pants! [laughs]
- [Camera Man] Okay.
[upbeat musical tone]
[laughs]
- Bring Tuna to work.
Oh no.
[paper rustling]
Grab Tuna's leash and carrier
and come to Chelsea Market tomorrow.
Don't forget to bring Tuna. [laughs]
Yes!
[clapping]
Tunie!
[upbeat music]
- Oh hey!
Good morning.
Whatcha doing? [laughs]
Seems like you're walking backwards.
I don't know what I'm-
Uh.
Three boxes?
What should I do with my dog?
I mean, finding out that
Tuna was coming with me
made this exam call time a little easier.
Introducing Tuna!
Say hi Tunes.
Hi Tunes!
- Okay.
Okay Tunes.
Number two.
[dog bark]
- Feed the beast.
She's not a beast.
She's a little princess.
Tuna, it's Thanksgiving.
[dog whining]
Honey.
A little kibble?
[laughs]
[sniffs]
Ugh.
Why am I sitting on the
floor of Chelsea Market
with three dog bowls in front of me?
- [Camera Man] Because this
episode is all about dog food.
- I knew it.
I guessed it last night.
My first immediate thought was,
we're making dog food.
Just saying, I know what you're up to.
Visit the dog tour.[buzzer sound]
Dog-tur. [buzzer sound]
Doctor! [bell sound]
[clapping]
This show just gets creepier and creepier.
- I'm Stacy Alldredge.
- I'm Molly.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, this is Tuna.
- Hey Tuna.
[dog whining]
- Do I have to eat dog food today?
- You can.
- But do I have to?
- The food that we're gonna make,
or the food that you're gonna make,
is all real food.
- I might want to. Okay.
- You might.
- I feed Tuna
dry food.
Kibble.
I'm not proud of it.
The thing about dog food
and real food is that
She's a real animal,
so the real food is better for her
just like us.
They've done study after study
that dogs that eat real food,
live two to three years longer
than dogs that eat packaged food.
Right?
- I just felt like it was a lot to take on
to make my own.
- But you start-
you can lean into it, you know?
Like, she can have the same meal
for three meals in a row,
and then switch it up.
But she should have
vegetables in her diet.
She should have like spinach and
you know, collard greens,
and there's so many
things that you can do.
So I brought some ingredients.
- Brocolli.
- Brocolli.
- Tomatoes.
- Carrots.
And if you're like,
ugh, I don't want to cook all the time
or it's too much pressure.
Well, I mean, she doesn't
have the eat the same
thing every day.
Maybe for breakfast, you feed her like,
scrambled eggs, blueberries, and rice.
[dog whining]
What a great meal, right?
- Wow.
Before I met Stacy,
I didn't realize just how many human foods
dogs are able to digest.
She probably shouldn't be
eating as much salt as I do.
- Well, probably not.
[laughs]
- But for the most part,
they can eat what we're eating.
So that was like a huge take away.
- So there's one big thing
that's missing from this.
- Protein.
- Protein.
So, here you go.
- Harvest some offal.
[trumpet sounds]
Oh man,
I'm gonna have to go get inside
some creatures, aren't I?
Looks like we're gonna
go harvest some offal,
and we're at Chelsea Market.
Dickson's Meat is upstairs,
which is like a whole animal butcher shop.
So I think that's where we're headed.
[upbeat music]
I think it's this way.
I'm pretty sure.
It's getting kinda crazy in here.
[classical music]
Oooh,
mortadella!
We're in the right place.
Well done!
- Welcome to Dickson's Farmstand.
I'm Jake Dickson, owner and operator of
Dicksons' Farmstand Meats.
- Do you guys make dog food here?
- We do.
The best dog food in the world, I believe.
- Ugh, really?
- Step into my office.
- Wow, love your office.
- This is Eduardo, our head butcher.
- Hi!
- And this is basically
the offal from one steer.
A heart, a tongue, and a liver.
Now, people love over the last ten years
talking about offal and
whole animal eating.
Nobody actually buys it.
- What is this though?
- Now, so there's another
aspect to having a butcher shop.
This is a feather steak.
- I'm not familiar with that...
- It's not a very normal one.
The problem is, this was put
in our case yesterday morning,
it didn't sell,
and now it's oxidized.
If a customer came in,
they would not buy it.
So it's one third cooked beef and pork,
one third sweet potatoes,
one third raw apple and carrot go into it.
So that gets added at the end.
- Anything that doesn't make its way
into the case as a premium cut,
can be made into dog food.
Okay.
Liver going in.
Oops.
- [Jake] Zero waste, come on.
- Nice!
Is that beautiful, guys, or what?
- That's as far as we're gonna get.
- Alrighty.
- I think I'm supposed to give you.
- Oh what do you have? An envelope?
- I do.
Here.
- Go make dog food!
[trumpet sounds]
Okay, before I leave,
I wanna bring Tuna up.
So you guys can meet her.
- I'll give her a dog treat.
- Okay!
The Dickson's staff members were Tuna fans
before I even got there
so they really wanted to meet her.
Okay, well here she is.
- Hello.
- This is Tuna.
- Hi Tuna.
Can I give Tuna a treat?
- [Molly] Yeah.
Honey.
[dog whining]
God, not very food motivated
today, are we Tunes?
Maybe we overfed you?
Bye everyone!
Thank you!
Nice to meet you all!
Take care!
- [Camera Man] Hoo!
- The camera man just
handed me an envelope.
[laughs]
Prepare for a meal with man's best friend,
and man.
Make a meal for me and Tunes?
[trumpet sound]
If I were to eat a meal with Tuna,
the only right way to honor
her would be to make a hot dog.
Tunes, we're getting hot dogs!
[beep]
Um, maybe I should just get some pickles
while we're at it.
I wish someone would always
hand me a credit card
and let me run wild in Dickson's.
Some coleslaw, some deviled eggs?
Are you a fan of your mortadella?
- Yeah, I really like it a lot.
- Okay.
You guys make all these
pâtés in house, yeah?
- We sure do, yeah.
- Oh my god, what are your favorites?
I'm excited about this.
Do you guys sell bone broth?
- Yeah.
- Like hot?
- Yeah.
- Also, our jerky's really banging.
- Your jerky?!
I [beeps] love beef jerky!
- [Worker] We have like
eleven kinds of beef jerky.
- Oh my god.
I should have gone for the
sixty day dried rib eye,
but...
Do I want to get steaks?
How about a little bit
of the beef pastrami?
And I guess we do need
a bag for this stuff.
Happy Molly.
Me and Tuna are going to Industry City.
And yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna like
get super fancy with it,
cause she's a dog, let's be honest.
Say something.
Say something, Tuna.
What if she just started talking?
What if she was just like,
"I don't like sweet potatoes!"
[laughs]
That'd be funny.
It's weird to have a
co-host that doesn't talk.
I'm not really used to that.
[laughs]
- [Producer] So this is
scene four, take one.
[laughs]
- So here we are in Industry City,
our fake kitchen.
Let's just acknowledge,
this is not a real kitchen.
So I'm thinking,
of making her meatballs.
So like, sweet potato
and beef offal meatballs.
Um, and we're gonna have
ourselves a little meal together.
Let's put her back here.
Tuna, sit.
Good girl!
Look how well trained she is.
Good girl!
[laughs]
Tuna is very well behaved,
but it's largely in part due to the fact
that she's pretty terrified of everything.
Oops. [laughs]
Okay.
I swear I've used one of these before.
Um, what else?
I have my liver.
Beautiful bowl of liver.
I mean, have you ever seen
something this gorgeous?
Looks like cranberry sauce.
What do you think?
Okay, she likes it.
I hope that the video
that you are now watching,
will inspire you to make
meatball for your own dog.
And also you should definitely
tag me if you do that.
[bell dings]
That's for the people.
There is no recipe for this,
because I've never done this before.
I'd say that's about half
a cup of rolled oats.
Okay, she got one whiff of that liver
and now she cannot shake it.
These are the things
we do for our children.
I'm trying to make this
as easy on her a possible.
[dog whining]
- What?
What?
I don't like sweet potatoes.
Probably, if I had it my way,
I would've server her Honey Crisp,
instead of a red delicious, but...
A little bit of tumeric
for anti-inflammatory.
And then also, I read that
oregano is great for dogs.
Also this will just make it tastier.
She's already going crazy for this.
[machine whirring]
So portion size was
supposed to be 200 calories.
I have no idea how much that is.
Like, how big should my balls be?
[dog growling]
And we're just gonna do a tester.
Like we would if we were
making human meatballs.
Love it!
Tuna, sit.
Good girl.
Stay.
She's very excited.
Okay!
[laughs]
One fell swoop.
She barely even chewed it.
It just went straight down.
Maybe I should just start
a dog food company.
Meatballs and more.
[background music]
Molly's Meatballs and More?
[explosion sound]
I'm not doing that.
One sheet tray done.
We'll get these in the oven.
Okay.
All right, in the mean time,
I'm gonna cook up some
hot dogs because this,
is a hot dog.
I'm gonna start searing off dogs.
Unfortunately, there is
a fan in this kitchen
that we cannot control.
So, if you hear a really
loud noise in the back
of this episode,
we are sorry.
Get these dogs on here.
I'm gonna check on the meatballs.
They seem cooked.
And they held their shape,
and they got a little bit brown.
[sniffs]
They honestly don't smell bad.
Okay, let those cool.
[upbeat music]
Really, I'm just cooking for the crew.
That's why we're doing this.
Jake said that the optimal way to consume
the Dickson's hot dog is with Kewpie Mayo,
which is a Japanese
mayonnaise that's a little
bit sweeter than, say,
Hellmann's would be.
And Chow Chow, which is their house made,
very vinegar-y pickle relish.
And that's it.
[upbeat music]
Maybe we serve the relish alongside.
We'll let people do that to order.
[dog bark]
As long as your dog doesn't have a gluten
or wheat allergy,
pasta is a good choice
because it's usually
made with very simple ingredients like
flour, water, and eggs,
which are all good for dogs.
So I made her a little itty bitty
spaghetti and meatballs.
[upbeat music]
I made some little carrot sticks for her.
[laughs]
[phone vibrating]
Delaney.
Yo Molly,
heard you were making
a family meal for Tuna
with some hot dogs and
thought you could use
a little Trousseau
Pet'Nat to make it nice.
Don't let Tuna drink too much.
[laughs]
I love it that I have somehow figured out
to have a cocktail program
woven into my show.
Did he personally deliver the Pet'Nat?
I doubt it.
Yes!
Aww!
Thanks Delanes!
Love you brother.
[clapping]
Come on Tunie.
[laughs]
L-O-L.
[laughs]
So [beeps] absurd.
Wow.
Should we light those candles?
Say a little prayer?
[singing]
She'll just have a little splash.
I'll have a real glass.
Okay, well it's dinner time.
I've set the table.
We're here in this lovely dining room.
Just the two of us.
And Tuna's about to have
her spaghetti and meatballs.
- [Camera Man] There's one more
thing that you have to do...
- Okay.
- [Camera Man] Look under that plate.
- Oh Tunes, there's another clue.
[knocking]
- Answer the door.
What the [beeps]?
[gasps]
- Surprise!
- You [beeps]!
- He was texting me!
I was so shocked because
he sent me a selfie
of himself in a conference
room in this meeting
that he was supposedly in.
- Can I have the dog?
- Hey!
Oh my god, you brought me flowers?
You're never done that before, ever.
- I did that.
[laughs]
- Can I pour you some Pet'Nat?
- Sure.
- Delaney hooked us up with
a yummy Pet'Nat to pair...
- [Ben] I know, I know.
- What do you mean you know?
- We talked.
- Now you're in on it with Delaney?
- Okay, we didn't talk.
- You didn't know that.
Okay, should we give her
a red bow or a black bow?
I feel like black's more her vibe.
I mean she's gonna be
a little overdressed.
Or we're underdressed.
- [Ben] That's pretty cute.
- This episode was about dog food
but we were at Dickson's so I picked up
Dickson's hot dogs for dinner
and I thought I was gonna
be sitting here by myself.
But here you are.
And so I made Tunie some
spaghetti and meatballs
and a couple little carrot sticks.
And then I'll serve you a dog.
- Can she eat the spaghetti?
- Yeah, the whole thing.
I looked it all up.
[gasps]
Look at her!
You need to pace yourself.
Like, she scarfed those
meatballs that I made
like I've never seen her scarf her kibble.
She has two balls in her
mouth at the same time.
- Okay. That's our daughter.
[laughs]
- Get off my hot dog dude.
Tuna!
[dog growls]
- Okay.
This is gonna be a mess later.
- Out of her butt?
- Yeah.
- Research shows that
dogs that eat a variety of
different foods and not pre-packaged foods
live two to three years longer.
- So, she'll be like 26 when she dies?
- Yeah.
So don't you think it's worth it?
- Yeah.
- Why do you deserve to
eat as well as you do,
and your dog eats like [beep]?
So now, Ben's gonna make
all your food for you now.
Right?
- Nope.
- I can give you the
recipe for the meatballs.
- [Camera Man] If you could
watch this real quick.
- [Gabby] Is this Molly's dog food?
- Oh, is this Gabby's dog?
- [Gabby] What's this?
Who made this?
- Pucho.
- [Gabby] All right, you ready?
Good.
No.
No no no no.
- It's not just Tuna who
gets it for my meatball.
Um, we can probably not include that.
[laughs]
Will you guys buy me
another weenie dog for
doing this episode?
You guys wanna meet me halfway?
- [Camera Man] So we'll
give you half a dog?
- No no no.
[laughs]
