* [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Jake's Perfect Sandwich.]] First, sous vide a steak, which isn't exactly difficult (it's cooking it in temperature controlled water in a vacuum-sealed bag), but is both time consuming and is usually done with specialized equipment. Jake does it in a random pot over an open burner, so good luck doing it that way. Then, you debone your poultry of choice to stand in for your "bird from the window".[[note]] Andrew used a Cornish game hen, the deboning of which he compares to surgery, so he recommends chicken thighs instead.[[/note]] Tears for salt are optional, but Andrew is a perfectionist. After that, you take an ''entire loaf'' of bread and toast it with a blowtorch, which is going to take a LONG time, which Andrew did enjoy but does recommend just using the oven. Then of course we get to the lobster soul, which is impossible to recreate due to a number of reasons. Andrew assumes that meant giving the sandwich a light lobster flavor, so he went with lobster aioli instead. The remaining ingredients are all relatively normal things like pickles, tomatoes, and bacon, but it's still a lot more stuff you've got to pile on. The result was worthy of the name and Jake's desperation to get it back from Magic Man, but good luck taking a bite out of the DagwoodSandwich without it falling apart.

* His {{Metaphorgotten}} monologue when hand-pulling the noodles for [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Secret Ingredient Soup]] is an extended [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] of this.

* Andrew's partner Alvin has [[VideoGame/Persona5 the Cosmic Tower Burger]]. Apart from how long it would take to just make the bun, each patty has to be made roughly the size of a ''baking tray'' in order to recreate the vastness of space and meat that takes the better part of a day to make. There's also the fact that it took '''''ten people''''' to even put a dent in it.
** Its predecessor, [[VideoGame/Persona4 the Mega Beef Bowl]], is nothing to sneeze at either. Needless to say, you're definitely going to need understanding to accept it as a whole, knowledge to set the proper pace, courage to attack the mountain of meat, and dedication to keep on eating.

* [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Jake's Perfect Sandwich.]] First, you have to prepare a steak sous vide, which means putting it in a vacuum-sealed bag and boiling it at ''just'' the right time and temperature. Then, you have to completely debone your poultry of choice to stand in for your "bird from the window".[[note]] Andrew used a Cornish game hen, the deboning of which he compares to surgery, so he recommends chicken thighs instead.[[/note]] Tears for salt are optional, but Andrew is a perfectionist. After that, you take an ''entire loaf'' of bread and toast it with a blowtorch, which Andrew did enjoy but does not recommend in place of an oven. The sandwich uses fairly standard ingredients from there like pickles and bacon, but the craziest part is the lobster soul, which is impossible to recreate due to a number of reasons. Andrew assumes that meant giving the sandwich a light lobster flavor, so he went with lobster aioli instead. The result was worthy of the name and Jake's desperation to get it back from Magic Man, but good luck taking a bite out of the DagwoodSandwich without it falling apart.

* Though he enjoys the experience of the Tortilla Chip Sombrero from ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', he notes that it's not exactly convenient, since you can't actually see the dipping ingredients (guacamole, in the case of the episode) and therefore have to fish around above your head entirely blindly, and do so while hoping the hat doesn't just shatter.

* His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf4wwXM2o_M 2 Million Subscriber Special]] has him cook the [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow Every-Meat Burrito]] using every type of meat he could buy from standard beef to rattlesnake. Awesome in concept? Absolutely. Easy to make and good to the taste? ''God no.''
