Kentucky native Bryan Garris, frontman of the hardcore band Knocked Loose, recently appeared on the YouTube series “Last Meals,” produced by internet chef Josh Scherer on the Mythical Kitchen channel. The episode, filmed at the Mythical Kitchen studio, featured a personalized four‑course menu that reflects Garris’s family traditions, hometown flavors, and experiences on the road.
Series background
Mythical Kitchen, an offshoot of the popular “Good Mythical Morning” channel created by Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, launched the “Last Meals” series in 2021. Each episode begins with Scherer’s signature line, “Every person has exactly two things in common: We all got to eat and we’re all going to die,” before preparing a guest’s imagined final meal.
Garris’s four‑course menu
The first course paid tribute to Garris’s upbringing, featuring his grandmother’s biscuits and gravy, his fiancée Taylor’s chicken and dumplings, and his mother’s baked mac and cheese. The second course returned to his Kentucky roots with cast‑iron cornbread and honey butter, a fried chicken plate from Huber’s Farm, Green River‑style fried scrod from The Fish House, Ale‑8, and Southern‑style sweet tea.
The third course celebrated his touring life abroad, offering Yorkshire pudding, prime rib from Prime Seafood Palace in Toronto, okra fries from the Dishroom in London, and challah bread with hummus from Saffy’s in Los Angeles. The final course brought him back home with his grandmother’s buckeyes and his mother’s pineapple sunshine cake.
Reflection on mortality
During the interview, Garris spoke candidly about death and mortality, noting that while the band serves as his creative outlet, he rarely dwells on his own mortality. He did express a deep concern for the safety of his loved ones.
Tour update
Knocked Loose is currently on its “Hive Mind” tour, which runs through November 8. Fans can find ticket information and tour dates on the band’s official website.
