Trevor and Rhett v Lily and Link (Trevorhett v Lilink? also could do Evarhett), that way Lily has the handicap of Link, but Trevor has a slight handicap in Rhett as well, although he isn't kitchaphobic like his co-host.

The problem with vegan food and cooking, is that a lot of times, you are trying to replicate flavors and textures found in non vegan foods and dishes. Purely vegan dishes can be great in their own right, but trying to get the same, or even close to the satisfaction of a traditionally non vegan dish, is very, very hard. I personally like meat and dairy too much to ever go vegan myself, but I respect those who do and I can definitely appreciate a well made vegan meal. But it's damn near impossible to fool anyone who regularly eats meat and cheese into thinking your vegan dish isn't plant/nut based

I love how Lily's so talented that it required the full kitchen to go against her to be 'even'.
Mushroom can be an excellent substitute for meat but you'll never mistake it for meat. I would have used a mix of mushrooms, seitan, and tofu skins, because the latter two would have a texture that could fool someone in the context of a Philly cheesesteak.

Fun fact: the sound we think of as an eagle screech is actually the cry of a red tailed hawk! Movies and TV thought the real bald eagle cry wasn't powerful enough and wanted something more when showing them on screen
Trevor hanging his picture on the fridge was the sweetest thing! He is a precious summer child who must be protected at all costs!
I want Trevor Vs Josh in a battle to see who the real Mythical Kitchen Pimp is
Either real meat, mushrooms or jackfruit works ok for me. Just as long as you make it in the "authentic" cheesesteak style then i'm game making it and eating it!
I love that Josh’s eagle screech sounded like crap because he was accurate and didn’t even brag about it. The iconic eagle screech they play on tv is actually a falcon. A bald eagles screech sounds awful, like they still have their last meal stuck in their throats 😂😂
Lily is getting more unhinged by the day, and I'm here for it. Let's go!
Lauren Toyota (Hot For Food on YT) has an amazing Philly cheese"steak" recipe in her first cookbook, uses seitan for the meat. I make them often, even though I'm not a full time vegan. The seitan is PERFECT for this!
This would be a neat series with all sorts of dishes.
I love Trevor! Also, thanks so much for having new faces in to judge the finished product!

Hen of the Woods is a good mushroom but I like to use King Trumpet with Soy and Worcestershire sauce for my meat substitute. Since Worcestershire isn't vegan maybe subbing it for Marmite and miso will really bring out those flavors.

Sure, margarine exists, but some of them are absolutely not vegan, so the Venn Diagram isn't a circle. At least with something actually labelled 'vegan', there's a much higher chance of it being something we want to eat.
