Stay Outta My Fridge

What happens when you let ChatGPT plan your entire family dinner... and you're only allowed to shop at Dollar General?

That's exactly what we decided to find out.

Armed with an AI-generated shopping list and a $35 budget, we headed to Dollar General to see if artificial intelligence could actually create a meal worthy of a restaurant. The results? Garlic Parmesan waffle strips, a bacon waffle burger and candy biscuit bombs stuffed with everything from Milky Way bars to sour candy.

Some recipes sounded ridiculous.
Some surprised us.
One might actually become part of our family's regular dinner rotation.

Join Beard Laws, Megh and Avery as they shop, cook, laugh and taste-test every AI creation before deciding if ChatGPT is secretly a chef... or should stick to answering questions.

If you enjoy family food challenges, budget meals, taste tests and the occasional kitchen disaster, you're in the right place.

This isn't just another shopping trip...

Lo is heading into her senior year, so we gave her one simple challenge: she could pick ANY 12 items she wanted. No hints. No suggestions. Just whatever she wanted.

Then it was Iyla's turn...

Let's just say things got a little more chaotic.

Join us as we visit multiple stores, react to every pick, share plenty of laughs, and see what each daughter chooses when given complete freedom.

Which item surprised you the most?

Tell us in the comments what YOUR 12 items would've been during your senior year.

Best Restaurants Near Watertown NY | We Tried 5 in One Day to find the hidden gems, local favorites, and restaurants actually worth visiting.

Looking for the best restaurants near Watertown, NY? We tried 5 local restaurants in one day across Watertown and Redwood, New York to find the hidden gems, the best food, and the places we'd happily visit again.

After dropping Iyla off at Camp Wabasso for the week, it was just me and Megh. No Avery. No Lo. Just a Sunday Funday road trip exploring local restaurants, breweries, pubs, and hidden gems throughout Northern New York.

Some stops were recommendations from locals. Others were places we'd driven past for years but never visited. We had no expectations—we just wanted to see which restaurants were actually worth stopping for.

Restaurants featured:

• Whiskey Wagon Saloon (Redwood, NY)

• Half Pints International Brewhaus (Watertown, NY)

• 1812 On The River

• Pearl Street Pub

• Red Rooster Tavern

• Plus one unexpected Arby's stop because every road trip needs a backup plan.

At the end of the video, we rank every restaurant from last place to our overall winner.

Now it's your turn!

What's the best restaurant in Watertown, Alexandria Bay, Clayton, Carthage, Lowville, Sackets Harbor, or anywhere in Northern New York? Tell us in the comments—we're always looking for our next Sunday Funday adventure.

Dollar General Cake Challenge: Evan loves baking, but this time he wasn’t allowed to touch the cakes.

Evan thought he was coming to Stay Outta My Fridge to bake three elaborate cakes using only ingredients from Dollar General. Instead, Beard Laws surprised him with three apprentices: Iyla, Colden, and Madden. Evan could choose the cakes, set up the stations, assign the bakers, and run the kitchen, but he had to sit back and watch the chaos unfold.

The three Dollar General cake creations were a Cosmic Brownie Cake, a S’mores Cake, and a Red Velvet Cookie Monster Cake. There was just one small problem: two of the three bakers had never made a cake before.

What could possibly go wrong?

Eggs were dropped. Cake mix went everywhere. Red velvet ended up on people who weren’t even making the red velvet cake. Evan was trapped at the microphone trying to coach three bakers at once while Beard Laws provided play-by-play from the most chaotic kitchen in Stay Outta My Fridge history.

And somehow, the kid who could barely crack an egg may have created the best cake of them all.

WHAT’S IN THE FRIDGE THIS WEEK:

• Three Dollar General cakes made on a budget

• A chaotic kids baking challenge with a surprise twist

• Cosmic Brownie, S’mores, and Red Velvet Cookie Monster cakes

• A blind family taste test and cake competition

• One legendary Dollar General hot dog holder for the winner

After the cakes are baked and decorated, the apprentices disappear and a group of blind judges enters the kitchen. They have no idea which kid made which cake. The cakes are judged on appearance, creativity, and taste before the bakers return for the final winner reveal.

Stay Outta My Fridge is the show where the kids take over the kitchen. Join Beard Laws, Iyla, and the family for chaotic food reviews, taste tests, cooking challenges, snack battles, and the kind of family moments that never go according to plan.

Who made the best Dollar General cake? Which cake would you actually eat: the Cosmic Brownie Cake, S’mores Cake, or Red Velvet Cookie Monster Cake?

Dice Sandwich Challenge We Couldn't Believe Actually Worked | Stay Outta My Fridge

The Dice Sandwich Challenge We Couldn't Believe Actually Worked quickly turned into one of our funniest family food experiments yet. Avery and Isla joined Beard Laws as every ingredient for lunch was decided completely by dice, and once the chaos started there was no turning back.

No rerolls. No changing your mind. No backing out. Every bread, protein, topping, sauce, and chaos card had to be played exactly as rolled. Somehow we ended up with sandwiches that ranged from surprisingly delicious to absolute disasters.

What's In The Fridge This Week?

• Random Sandwich Challenge with real dice

• Family snack review and lunch taste test

• Chaotic food challenge featuring Avery and Isla

• Taste Test 2026 family food vlog

• Kid-friendly cooking challenge with completely random ingredients

Stay Outta My Fridge is the show where the kids take over the kitchen. Join Beard Laws, Avery, and Isla for the most chaotic food reviews on the internet. Every episode is packed with family laughs, unpredictable food combinations, snack reviews, blind taste tests, and fun kitchen challenges that anyone can try at home.

This week we rolled for:

• Bread

• Protein

• Toppings

• Sauces

• Multiple Chaos Rounds

• Wild Card Wheel

• Mystery Ingredient Swaps

• Final Taste Test

• Best Sandwich Winner

Somehow one sandwich looked like it belonged in a restaurant...while another included peanut butter, jelly, egg, lettuce, and hot sauce. Would you eat it?

Which sandwich would YOU actually try? Let us know in the comments and tell us which combination looked the best...or the absolute worst.
