Ep 2. Deep Fried Spam Musubi Flip

Junk Food Flip is a show that follows Bobby Deen and Nikki Dinki as they travel around the country to help people redesign their unhealthy junk food dishes into delicious, nutritious meals. In season 2 episode 2, Bobby and Nikki head to Honolulu, Hawaii to work with a local food truck owner who is known for his deep-fried spam musubi.

The episode starts with Bobby and Nikki meeting the food truck owner, Corey, and trying his deep-fried spam musubi. They are both impressed with the dish but note that it is very unhealthy and loaded with sodium and fat. Bobby and Nikki then sit down with Corey to discuss how they can flip his dish into something that is healthier but still delicious.

After brainstorming some ideas, Bobby and Nikki get to work in the kitchen. They decide to replace the white rice in the musubi with brown rice, which is a healthier whole grain option. They also swap out the spam for turkey bacon and egg whites to reduce the amount of fat and sodium in the dish.

Along the way, they encounter some challenges, such as figuring out the best way to cook the turkey bacon and making sure the brown rice still has that sticky texture that is essential to a musubi. However, with some trial and error, they are able to come up with a new recipe that they think will be a hit.

Next, Bobby and Nikki take their new and improved deep-fried musubi to a focus group of locals to get their feedback. The group is hesitant at first, but once they take a bite, they are pleasantly surprised. They note that the dish is still delicious but doesn't leave them feeling heavy and bloated, like the original version did.

Finally, it's time for Corey to try the new and improved musubi. He is skeptical at first but is ultimately impressed with how Bobby and Nikki were able to flip his dish into something healthier. He admits that he never thought about the health ramifications of his deep-fried musubi before but is excited to offer a healthier option to his customers.

The episode ends with Bobby and Nikki reflecting on their time in Hawaii and how important it is to find balance in your diet. They note that it's okay to indulge in a deep-fried musubi every once in a while but that it's important to make choices that prioritize your health in the long run.
