Added Rhett & Link, “Who would’ve thought that wearing blindfolds on the Internet and having America’s favorite foods delivered into our mouths with unnecessarily complicated contraptions would lead to a show on Food Network? And, on top of that, we’ve been given permission to actually enter the inner sanctums of these food brands to get the answers we’re hungry for. Is this real life? We’re thrilled to be The Taste Buds.”
