Is that vegan cheese? Mhm. Mhm. This does not represent Chicago. I don’t know what this is. Hey, what up? This is Luke James. I play Victor Trigg Taylor on the Shy. Hey, what’s up? My name is Burgundy Baker and I play Kesha on the Shy. Hey, what’s up? I’m Jacob Latimore and I play Emit on the Shy and we are trying each other’s deep dish pizza. The difference between a New York pizza and a deep dish pizza is the New York pizza is thin and greasier. You can fold it probably a little bigger, too. But the deep dish pizza is more like a pie. Deep dish is a lot thicker, more bread. They’re pretty thick in Chicago. Yeah. The toppings are reverse on the deep dish pizza. So, it’s cheese, toppings, and then tomato sauce. A lot of tomato sauce. If I’m going to be honest, I don’t know that many people from Chicago that love deep dish pizzas. It’s a dish. You almost want to eat it with a fork. The shai is like a deep dish because a deep dish fills you up. A deep dish has a lot of sauce. I feel like every character on the show has their own sauce. A deep dish. Ooh. When you cut it and you pull it out, it’s like a string that hangs on. And we always leave a cliffhanger for you to hang on to. Deep dish is native to Chicago. The way the shai is a love letter to the south side of Chicago. But we try to stay as authentic as possible to the real stories and deep dish is just as [Music] authentic. So on my pizza, I love barbecue sauce pretty much on everything. Probably my favorite sauce. So I’ll dip my pizza in some barbecue sauce. And then I love chicken, so I put some chicken on there. I love a little spice, too. So some chili flakes. Those are my three ingredients to make it make it do what it do. Yeah, this pizza definitely represents more of me than Emit. Um Emit’s eating chicken every day. I’m sure he’s eating a pizza, but we we ain’t talked about it yet. I will win because I feel like simplicity just wins. You know, barbecue, chicken, cheese, bread. You can never really go wrong with that. Oh, what? Now, this pizza right here, it’s uh pretty manicured. They didn’t put anything on it. It’s like kidish. Like, this is like something a kid would order. This is definitely Jacob’s because he’s very particular. He’s very clean, dude. Very tidy. This has got to be Jacob’s pizza. I It just gives Jacob. I just feel like he just Yeah. Yeah. Boom. Barbecue sauce. That’s barbecue. It’s almost like as if he made it himself. Who Who just puts barbecue sauce on pizza? It’s pretty thin. I mean, there’s not much to it. It does smell good. [Music] Mhm. Mhm. It’s kind of straight to to business, which I can understand. That’s definitely Jacob. It’s okay. It tastes more like a bread stick. I wouldn’t call it a pizza. If we’re gonna represent Chicago, we got to add more flavors. We got to add more colors. It’s easy. It’s This feels like a type of dish he would create if he was on a date with someone so he doesn’t get too messy and he can keep it G, you know, or P. We need something of substance. We need when we bite into it, it just bursts with like flavor and culture and love. This has no love. I will order this at a pizza shop, but as an appetizer, I would like to add pineapples to this along with some beef. It gives bread stick. It gives pre pizza. I give it a 10. It hits the spot. I mean, it wasn’t like yuck. So, I’m going to give it a five. So, the toppings on my pizza are pineapples, green peppers, and chicken. You know, this pizza was inspired by my character, Kesha. The pineapples represent her sweetness. The chicken represents the meat, the substance. The peppers, she can be a little spicy. You know, the fans don’t really like that, but I love that about her. I’m going to win today because I have a mix between sweet and savory, and everybody loves that. These toppings, the pineapples, the peppers. Best [Music] decision. Here we go. Yeah, this pizza got a lot going on. A lot of veggies. This pizza right now has uh some type of cheese on it. It better be vegan. I don’t like where I got to look at it too hard. Like, what’s in there? Smell a little peppery. I don’t know if I’m going to like this one. There’s some peppers on here. I see a pineapple. Love pineapples. Let’s see. Let’s see. I wonder who made this one. I can’t tell if this is a a Luke James pizza cuz it’s got so many vegetables on there. Yeah, this got to be Luke’s. Oo, you got a bucket around here cuz uh might throw up. Oh, this is definitely This a That’s good. There’s some chicken in here. That’s a secret protein. I’m good for that. The most prominent flavor from this pizza is the peppers. Like the pepper like it’s just not it’s never been my thing. Like vegetables on pizza is just just separate. Eat a salad. It’s got a little sweetness to it with the pineapple and all. This might be from this one of our sweetest castmates and that’s definitely Burgundy. This is definitely Burgundy’s. It’s just sweet. She’s a sweetheart. The pineapples are gone. The pepper overpowered everything. I’d rather do a pineapple chicken barbecue. That’s more of my swag. But this is this ain’t it. I would change the chicken to beef personally, but I’m willing to accept a person a deep dish for who they are. I give this pizza space in my belly. Who pizza is this? Who did this? No, no, no. After eating this, I do not trust my co-stars judgment on pizza and I would never let this person order for me. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’m always going to give a black woman 100 on the scale. That’s my scale. Scale of 1 to 10, I’m going have to give this one just a two. For me personally, 10. I was in love with the chicken, but it’s still a 10. Thank you. You know, I’m uh trying to gain some weight, have some good protein, so I put some beef on this thing. I don’t do the dairy, so we uh we did a vegan cheese. I think I’ve got some peppers in here, some marinara. I think you know my character on the shy from the outside can be perceived as confused or messy, if you will. We are all complex uh beings. You know, this dish is very complex. The reason why I will win today is because I’m a winner. It’s just what I do. I know no other way. I win because I I fear [Music] nothing. It does not look appetizing. Who damaged this pizza? The person chose the right ingredients. But they didn’t put love. Like somebody threw up on it. They do. I don’t know. Mine had love. Yellow and green and like just everything was like melted together like one. You know the cheese. The cheese look a little different. Like what type of cheese is this? Smell better than it look. Hamburger meat. Peppers and tomatoes. Okay. I see a little maybe a little sausage. Little peppers. Green pepper. I know these guys so well. This is Luke’s pizza because it’s got a lot going on and he’s just a lot going on. This looks like Luke’s faults. Excuse me. Okay. I ain’t married that. That’s good. I don’t know. I’ll take Jacob’s pizza back. I get no bite of that. Part of the experience of eating is what you see. It’s not given to the eye. You know, the cheese is smooth. You know, the flavors is just sitting right. Bread ain’t soggy. It’s good. The peppers were very crispy and crunchy. The cheese is ooey gooey. The hamburger meat is a nice It’s a nice touch of flavor. Uh, I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t I wouldn’t order it, but if somebody ordered it for me, I’ll take it. I’ll have another bite. But presentation is everything. And you know what, Jacob’s pizza was It might have been plain, but the presentation was clean. Maybe this one’s Luke’s because I think that’s vegan cheese. I do like vegan cheese, too. I don’t know who pizza this is. Four. I wouldn’t finish this. I wouldn’t order this. Love you though, Luke. I give this a eight. That’s pretty good. That’s pretty good. I ain’t going to lie. Oh, yeah. You can take it if you want. For real. Okay. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you guys so much for choosing my pizza. I really just chose my ingredients from the heart. I can’t believe I didn’t win. I think it’s rigged. Jacob did something. I don’t know. Well, you know, case of razer. You know, you you you win some, you lose some. As long as I try, everything else is uh toppings on a deep dish pizza. Thank you guys so much for choosing my pizza. Wow, I’m so grateful. Yo, thank you for joining us. We enjoyed the pizza. Keep watch for The Shai season 7. Yeah, let’s let’s go get some more pizza. Escape. I’m into that. Escape. Stay moisturized. [Music]
