Don't know if you guys noticed but a few other you tube channels are reacting to your Texas bbq video. I have already seen 2 different ones; one from a British youtuber and another from a south African youtuber. 😂
I'm a southern woman, and it makes me so happy to see people not only enjoying our food but our culture as well. Worldwide, there is the stigma about Americans and how we're uncultured, and seeing these two men experience our culture regionally and Countrywide makes my heart swell
When people talk about uncultured Americans it's because they think Americans don't know much about outside their country. Though in most cases, these people are just as ignorant. It has nothing to do with food
“You would almost be criminal to put a sauce on this!” From a Texan, I shed a happy tear. You Brit’s get it! If you need sauce for your meat, you didn’t cook it right!!
For the owner of this place that goes in early and stays late to make bbq every day, this is the ultimate compliment for all your work. The guys being speechless and then they make the camera guys try it is so awesome!
I am a born and raised Texan and I loved this segment. I have spent 60 years eating Texas BBQ and I still get that same look on my face when I bite into a particularly tasty brisket. Rock on guys!
I didn’t really understand the craftsmanship and dedication that actually goes into a great brisket until recently. But when done right it is a transformation equivalent to a caterpillar becoming a beautiful butterfly.
I came here to do the same...I love being from South Texas so much and Texas brisket is my favorite thing on earth. Terri Black's is always solid. Their reactions were not fake lol
As a Texan seeing each one of yall instantly smile while tasting the brisket & the plethora of compliments it makes my heart so happy to know it's one of the best meals you've ever had! Love yall & so happy yall shared with Luke & Ducky.
Josh really is obsessed with barbeque! He's doing that thing where you over-use all the new words that you learn about from researching a hobby you're obsessed with! Lol
Englishman who lives in Texas. This was glorious to watch. When we’ve taken family to Black’s for their first real Texas BBQ experience it goes exactly the same way.
I’m from NYC and we had a restaurant called Texas bbq’s and it made me always wanna go to Texas. I will get there one day and I’m going to make sure my family and I go to Terry Black’s
I feel so spoiled now watching this. I've lived in TX my whole life and just now feel like I've been taking it for granted. You guys make it sound like you've discovered a portal to another dimension.
I mean.... lbr tho... it ain’t like they’ve got much over there with that much flavor lol they literally SAID they don’t season their batter on their fish in their “fish & chips” dish with a straight face in one video where they were eating fried fish in Louisiana & comparing it to the fried fish in the UK. 😅 anyone who eats anything battered & fried & DOESNT SEASON THE BATTER ain’t used to eating foods with flavor at all! 😂 As someone from South Georgia whos been eating soul food their whole life, I was SHOCKED when they said that in that video! Lol who tf eats anything battered without seasoning the batter!? They’re just over there eating the saddest grease & flour flavored fish!! 😥😥 so sad lol
He was a Prius owner! I was one; moved to Texas, bought Boots, bigger belt buckles, hat, rescued a dog and bought a lifted Truck-F150! And to make it worse; listen to Country music! I have become a full fledged Texan!
@@chickenrox8926Louie Muellers is a great BBQ place about 1 hour outside of Austin. Definitely go. I took a 4 hour roadtrip from Dallas just to go there.
Josh and Ollie’s shock about how the best meal is just found on the side of the Highway, unassuming restaurant is just a perfect description of southern food. The best foods down here aren’t in chains or Michelin star restaurants, though they do deserve stars; they’re in the random, hole in the wall, mom and pop restaurants. So glad the south is receiving more love and recognition for its amazing food!
They are all experiencing the food heaven that only BBQ can deliver. Any southern person can tell you that you can find the happiest men on earth at the table with good BBQ in front of them
I’m an Aussie and just got home from Texas! Terry Blacks was THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER EATEN!!!!! And an Aussie takes their bbq SO seriously! Hahaha I dream of Terry Blacks cream corn and ribs every bloody day mate. 😭
I'm black and ex military... I was a military brat and served for a decade. I've eaten Louisiana bbq from my paternal grandmother, Alabama bbq from my fraternal grandmother, a mixture of the two from my father and mother. I've had bbq from North Carolina, Florida, and several other locations north and south. I have NEVER had better bbq than I've experienced at Terry Black's. Hands down!
I love me some BBQ but no one makes better food overall than the south. I love NOLA and eat everything I can down there. Louisiana is the bomb for great food and people.
As a southerner, I was quite shocked and flattered to have Josh and Ollie, who've had gourmet food in Korea and France and just some of the best food all over the world, to say the texas bbq was their best meal! I think I've been taking it for granted all these years...
Yall really don't understand how much this warms my heart. I'm a Texan and we really do pride ourselves on our food and being hospitable to each other and seeing other people try our food especially a brit and loving it is amazing I can't stop smiling! I would cook for y'all with pleasure😂
I'm from liberal Minnesota. We like to cry racisim and burn down our own city from time to time. We love to pay taxes. It's never enough up here. I wish they'd just take it all.
I am going to be honest, when they took a bite out of the brisket end, I started crying. Not from laughter, but genuine emotion of thinking about the first time I ever tried real Texas BBQ.
3:04 the bite, the slow smile, then the involuntary laugh-that’s what i adore in food reaction videos. Like; that’s what cooking is about. Pure, physical joy.
Josh saying “doing God’s work” with his hands together in reverance 👏as he gleefully skips around smiling 😂That made me laugh so hard. I'm a 5+ generation Texan with family from the BBQ capital of Texas, Lockhart, where Terry Blacks and other family BBQ restaurants originate. Their response and Josh’s respect and glee gave me such satisfaction and joy!
Josh is showing the enthusiasm and surprise of all his first-time Korean BBQ guests (the rappers, high schoolers, footballers). Love to see him experience that same eye opening meal with Texas BBQ.
I happened to be in Dallas and decided to go here based solely on this video!!! It was freaking AMAZING! I got the pork ribs, brisket, jalapeño sausage, green beans and coleslaw (trying to keep Keto). My friend ponied up with the beef rib. I had some of the beef rib and you gentlemen are 💯% correct! That is the best meat I have EVER had! Thank you so much for this video!!!
As a European by birth who moved to Texas almost a decade ago I can confirm. Texas BBQ is absolutely phenomenal and it blows away every BBQ imitation I had back home in Europe. Like it's not even close, it's like an adult man beating up a toddler, that's how big the difference is. And the crazy thing is that there are another 3 or 4 American styles of BBQ that are just as good as Texan BBQ. And then there's South American BBQ, such as Brazilian BBQ. Europe is so far behind in the BBQ game it's not even funny.
As someone who's lived in Texas for 15 years and married a Texan, I'm of course partial to our BBQ. However, I wouldn't turn down anything from St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, or the Carolinas either. And the folks in South America all have their own unique style with wild flavor too. Completely agree with you observations.
I went there before the Joe Rogan bump, and it is amongst the best, if not THE best I’ve ever had and not busy at all. Plan on lines now, but worth it. These guys reaction is not overreaction by any means.
Sometimes, as an American, I can get feeling pretty cynical about the way things are here and focused on negatives, so thank you guys for shining a light on how lovely some of our people can be and how much fun our food traditions are!
oh i always tell other europeans with anti-american sentiments here in Germany when it comes to American food and say stuff like "yeah its all fast food in America" with a reply like "Did you ever head to try a Jambalaya ? ...NO then STFU" -my personal dream remains to one time fly to new orleans in the craw fish season and eat my self full with it.... my 3 personal dreams about the united states 1. fly to new orleans for cajun food 2. go to a texas chilli cook off. and also have a bbq while in texas. 3. as a wrestling fan see on time a wrestlemania live. I think I could die happy after archived this goals.
@bomberdomme7308 boils aren't so common in New Orleans, you'll want to go towards the bayous, like Houma. My ex is from there and God damn the crawfish boils we had!!! There's places that you can grab a personal sized for yourself. I'd definitely get a rental car if you're going to new Orleans, the French quarter gets old fast as it's a tourist trap
I think the same way about BBQ sauce. I hate when people make ribs and put BBQ sauce while it's cooking, but I love BBQ sauce. I will dip my ribs and Brisket in BBQ sauce.
As someone who has lived in TX all his life, I am so happy to see y'all visit our neck of the woods. TX BBQ is IMO one of the few cuisines that America can legitimately call its own. TX pitmasters are truly the master chefs of slow cooking. As for turkey, a properly cooked turkey is almost addicting to eat. It was one of the candidates for our national bird for a reason!
Their comments and reactions are just so genuine and innocent...and always kind. It's absolutely adorable. When they googly eyed or their eyes start rolling around...you can't help but smile from start to finish.
Same! Im glad they loved it! As a Texan i wanna see how they like our seafood (I've been to New Orleans and it tastes almost similar if you go to right places in Texas)
Brisket has a very interesting story. Brisket comes from the lower chest of the cattle and as such is a very dense and hard muscle and was considered a 'throw away' cut because no one could cook it. Well the ranch-hands/cowboys that tended the herds asked the owners if they could have it and they discovered that if you cooked it at a very low heat (ie smoke cooking) over a long period of time the fat would render and soften the meat.
The one in New Braunfels is good too. I haven't eaten at the one in Austin, but I have been to NB and Lockhart. The two times I've been to Lockhart the brisket was dried out, I was sad because we've never had a bad experience in NB.
I have seen Josh and Ollie eat at so many Michillen star restaurants and of course they enjoy it but their rection to Texas BBQ is genuinely on another level and it brings me great Joy. 😁
So very nice to see you guys exploring a part of America's culture that can really bring people together. Im from South Carolina, live in Texas now. It is always a great thing to see people learning how good the food in the US is and in the South it is fantastic. Lots of different regions in the US and all kinds of good experiences...
Texan here, y'all hit on one of my favorite things about Texas bbq that I hadn't even thought of: how humble it is. You see a line of people who have been standing there for 4 hours before opening waiting to get in and get the best food you've ever eaten in your life served to you on paper plates and styrofoam cups on the side of the highway, and not a single complaint can be heard about any of it. There's no atmosphere you feel like you have to live up to, it's just good food and good times
they did it just right too. Barbecue in America is food that's supposed to take an entire afternoon to eat, it's as much an excuse to hang out with your friends as it is to eat a meal. It probably looks weird to a lot of europeans, to just get a huge platter of food and then just go at it with your hands... but yeah, that's kind of the point. There's no ceremony, there's no etiquette, it's just you, the food and the company for a couple hours
Yeah, Georgia ain't much different, though we tend to favor soul food more than BBQ. You ever come to GA, check out Pralines (Kinda like pecan cookies), Divinity (A pecan meringue dessert), and some soul food, especially nice greens that have been slow cooked in leftover meats, typically a bit of pork fat, my favorite are the mustard greens, though they smell awful, their taste is what matters really.
“Maybe the best meal of my life” is such a lovely thing to hear from these guys about my state’s food. Y’all’s faces told the story through the whole video. Awesome content.
Native Texan here. This was beautiful to watch. My kids make the same face eating ribs. After a day of swimming in the river in New Braunfels they always want Terry Blacks. Welcome to Texas guys!
I've lived my entire 33 years in Texas and smoking BBQ runs in my family, seeing this reaction from people trying real Texas BBQ for the first time makes me incredibly happy. I'm 45 miles away from Terry Black's and there aren't many places i would say could have been better. Great choice. Great representation of our State's best food
As a Texan, I’m proud to say that we pride ourselves on our bbq. It’s a delicate process that takes time and care to do properly. With that comes the best BBQ.
I would say theirs 2 types of style in texas you got northern and southern they should really go try southern more Mexican style BBQ where they peel the face meat from the cows skull that's really good
I’m a Texan currently in the middle of a month in the UK. Their idea of BBQ is what we know of as grilling and every piece of meat is well done. A good BBQ or Tex-Mex restaurant would make a killing here, provided you could get Health and Safety to approve your cooking methods. Lol
A Texas BBQ next to a fish and chips place would make a mint. People get tired of the same things over and over. Give them something different and business would flourish by word of mouth.
Yeah, it's kinda weird having a BBQ in your back yard in the UK... We're the only ones in our neighbourhood doing it. And I won't cut corners. I am not doing gas. that's not a BBQ. Charcoal or gtfo. Trouble is the smoke. And they have laws in the UK against smoke. So it's out of the question to smoke a brisket for 12 hours, Texas style. It's such a shame... British people would be a heck of a lot more fun if the government would stop making their lives difficult with nonsense rules and laws.
@@CristiNeagu I can kind of get it in the city, but how about in the country? I'd be surprised if they restricted people where there's no real issue to complain about. I mean how do you clear your undergrowth if you can't run a burn pile?
@@CtrlAltRetreat I think you're supposed to compost. Not sure, I'd love to have an undergrowth to have that problem. The law applies everywhere. The difference is that in the country side people won't be as bothered by your smoke so they won't report you. And they might even agree with you.
Hey guys, I have to say, I have mad respect for you. Most people when they try food from other countries, they go into it closed minded. It was super fun watching you guys, and I hope you enjoyed every aspect of your stay in the US!
@@respox2191Yes but these two have went to so many different restaurants and tried some of the very best, and even then this is one of their best meals they ever had which is awesome
hard to close the mind if you smell that meat grilling, the smell says time to eat like even if you do not like coffee you tried it after the first time you smelled it brewing. Smells over ride thoughts, most good food smells good when cooking and draws you in. Nothing better than college football saturdays I ride through neighborhoods with grills smoking and being on bike you get all the smells man it is heaven and makes you hungry even if you just ate.
Well they have tried a lot of American Foods at this point & they already know to expect great flavor if they’re eating any where over here! Lol especially any where in the south. It’s their favorite lol they already know going in that if it’s a popular restaurant over here that it’s gone be bussin! 😂
As a native Texan , I got so much enjoyment from watching you fellas try Texas Bbq for the first time . I realized how much I take such good food for granted! Next time, y’all have to have that peach cobbler with a big ol’ scoop of Bluebell homemade vanilla on top! Game changer 😊
Possible suggestion: You guys need to do a second video of the behind the camera guys finishing the food on your trays adding their own commentaries as they enjoy the same experiences you just did!
I'm watching you guys and it's so much fun. As a native Texan who grew up on this stuff, I tend to forget that the rest of the world's cuisine is just so much different. We have 5 regions, and a million different ways of cooking things, all in one big state. Have fun!!
Yeah, they never got gumbo on the upper Texas coast. Or the weird Bahn Mi Vietnamese sandwich variants found in Houston and around Galveston Bay. And they need to eat a torta from a trailer parked next to a gas station. Not tacos or a burrito, but a torta they've never heard of.
Bruh... As an American, I love watching people experience American style BBQ because it's just that good. It's one of those things that really brightens the mood of anyone who tries it and it always catches people off guard... But Texas BBQ is on a different level. There's almost no words to describe how rich, flavorful and tender everything is. And yeah, American comfort food has a ton of staples that compliment each other. Our desserts are sweet because the main course was so savory and rich.
After years of longing, today, June 1, 2024, I was able to check a big, fat item off of my bucket list- I finally ate at Terry Black’s. I came to visit my son in Austin, and was determined there would be no unassuaged return trip for me! So I went with my son, ordering one of everything on the menu for both of us to share, well knowing there would be copious doggie bags that would feed us for days. Y’all, it was as good as it was in my dreams, as good as this Jolly video and all the other videos report, and I am happy to say it was so straight up delicious on its own merit, that I 100% forgot about that big, fat bottle of bbq sauce on the table, never touching it once. The only thing that could have made this experience any better would be if I was wearing a cowboy hat and boots.
Some of the best sausage is made in central Texas because of the huge German influence that goes back generations. Love watching you guys enjoy the food I grew up on. Cheers!
I will judge a bbq joint by their sausage. Such an overlooked art. Still have Meyers garlic high on the list but the sausage from both Franklins and Black's is sooo good
Texas is really it's own world - culturally, geographically, historically and socially. Unless you've been there and have had the luxury of immersing yourself in it at any one place or time, it's kinda hard to describe. I was lucky enough to have lived in the Dallas/Ft Worth area for a few years in the early 80s and I barely even scratched the surface. Some of the best years of my life that I still recall and cherish to this day. And Texans are another story all together. Amazing place and I'm a little jealous of you guys, quite frankly. GREAT POST!
I’m Minnesotan and in my 40 years, I’ve NEVER had genuine Texas bbq but I just wanna say that this comment section is wonderful. All these Texans so excited you love their food. Lots of great people in this country❤️🤍💙
I'm so glad y'all enjoyed Texas barbecue. The original Black's is one of those that I grew up going to once or twice a month with friends and family, and Terry Black's is just as good, if not better, in my opinion. That whole family is so damn talented.
As someone who's lived in Austin for over twenty years, I'm so proud and happy for you guys to be eating Texas caliber BBQ. We prepare BBQ with the same care and love you'd show your grandma lol
@@fishguy911 I was somewhat a tourist, I’m from San Antonio lol. Thanks for the answer, I was super curious. I saw the salt lick on food network and wanted to go so I went lol. It was the best barbecue I’ve ever had and I always buy the Spicy Barbecue sauce from HEB now lol Glad to know there’s even better barbecue just down the highway.
Thanks Josh & Ollie, we’re an Aussie couple currently in Austin, it’s our second day here and wanted to try Texas BBQ but there were 2 Black’s BBQ and came across this vid so now we’re def doing the Terry Black’s Bbq! We’re going today! So excited🎉
I live right near Austin actually and believe me when i say that y’all chose one of the most culturally diverse cities here. I hope y’all enjoyed Terry Blacks!
As an unabashed American, this made me teary eyed with pride. 🇺🇸 The expressions...the eye rolls and slumping in the seat...just taken aback....So blessed to have experienced that so many times in my life eating classic American food. When its so good you wanna cry......
Of all the Jolly vids, this is the one I watch the most, and the one I introduce your vids to others with. I think it's the magic of when you bite into the Dino rib with its flavours seeping into your body and the subtle bluegrass music in the background like America is seeping into your soul. That and your facial expressions, just warms my heart like I've had a big meal myself.
Find an American expat, especially from Texas, with bbq experience - although to be honest, a reasonable number of Texans can make bbq, but there's a far smaller number that can do it /gloriously/
Ollie is one of the funniest people I have ever seen. I love jolly because their dynamic is great and even more so because Ollie, I don't know man, his delivery, his left field jokes, his ability to blindside you with punchlines that are uniquely worded, there are just few people who have given me so many wholesome laughs in my lifetime and this is a legitimate thanks for that mate. You have made me smile so many damn times and are an absolute gem. Take care you two 🤘🏻
❤ sometimes I thought the same thing about the situation and Ollie beat me to it by saying first. 🧡😜🤔👍🥳😎!! "I'm also an idiot,too!" but my friends/family being nice saying "you're so silly!!"😅🤣😁✌️
I love how integral to Jolly and Korean Englishman feeding Adam has become. Also, Ollie, if you're wondering how a 14 year old girl can eat that much, just wait till Juno gets a bit older; teens can always eat twice as much as you thought they could. Yes, even after you've seen how much they can eat and plan the bigger portions.
As a southerner I feel proud to see foreigners enjoying our food so much. I live in Oklahoma, but close to Texas. Texas certainly has some of the best bbq in the United States. Thanks for sharing your love for it!
Brings tears to my eyes how much y’all appreciate all kinds of American food! Y’all need to make a video in Louisiana- Cajun & creole, you guys gotta try the authentic stuff!
@@joshjones718 i think that's really a gross underestimation of how hard it is to cook proper Que, there is an art form to proper Que and you talk like it's so easy that you could do it. i mean sure if you to try you'd probably make some decent Que, but it's likely gonna be tough and/or dry, because you dont know what you're doing.
@@UltimateGamerCC Really good point, as a northerner i wouldnt know the first thing about making que. What you know is based on what you grew up with. Homemade Italian food is a different story
I'm strangely addicted to this video. Never seen these guys before (although now I realize that I've seen some of their British students eating vids). But I've come back to this like a dozen times. It just makes me happy when I see people from other nations truly enjoying American food.
Being Texan born and bred, this video makes me so happy. It does my heart good to see others live our bbq as much as we do. The look on Josh, Ollie and the crews face is priceless ❤❤❤❤❤
Born in Texas, raised in GA, moved back to TX when i was 13, it makes me so so happy to see y’all enjoying texas bbq! Smoked turkey is my absolute favorite! I could almost smell and taste it myself, welling up with tears of happiness to see y’alls love of our cuisine!
I love how much this feels like a couple of bros just going around trying things and having fun. So genuine and fun to watch. I continually have a smile on my face when I watch these videos
As a Texan, it just fills my heart with joy to see them carrying those red platters of BBQ gold. Those trays are at almost every BBQ place y'all go to and its a experience I take for granted. This video really kinda opened my eyes on what I got; and I'm so happy Josh and Ollie got to experience that. I bet Terry Black's workers were shocked having y'all as guest too! I would be!
As a Dallas native I can say that Terry Black's is AMAZING! So glad you you got to try real Texas BBQ there! The pork ribs are my favorite and I totally agree it's like pork candy. My parents first tried this in Austin and raved about it for years. The stuff you couldn't figure out what it was is called Cole Slaw. The beans are just baked beans. And they call it Peach Cobbler because it's kind of 'cobbled' together using peaches, sugar, a little bit of dough and just enough butter. YUMMMMM. I don't believe a person has truly lived until they've tried cobbler with at least 4 different fruits. Cornbread made correctly can't be beat! I could eat it every day!
I'm very proud to be a Texan. I get a special kind of joy watching people try our BBQ. Among the many things I am proud of about being a Texan, it's all about the BBQ. It embodies our hospitality. Wish you guys had a gallon of iced sweet tea with your meal.
“I do not feel bad. I knew you first; I deserve this.” “Commiserations, Gabby. You tried, but at the end of the day, I won.” Of course Ollie brings it all back to the battle of the wives 😂
@@whereyoubean Oh man, that’s a tough one! Possibly the very first wife vs best friend challenge about 4 years ago?? The way they talk about the dynamic makes it seem like it’s the first time bringing it up on camera.
Josh is so obviously pumped at the start of this video, skipping around and telling one of the BBQ pit masters that they're doing 'God's work' - and meanwhile Ollie gets in front of the camera and starts going on about how huge is head is 😂 This is like being on an elementary school field trip, in the best way!
@SaberTooth guilty as charged 🤣 I have been watching just about every KE and Jolly episode for awhile now. Have been wrapped in both the food and the amazing laughs in every video. These guys make great content 🙂
Texas bbq restaurants should receive michelin stars. The time and work not to mention precision is up there with world class dining. I hope it’s recognized one day
I worked in some high end restaurants in DC and Baltimore. If Michelin went by food only, there would be a few bbq spots with stars. Michelin judges won't even sit down in a place without white table clothes and waiters in shirts and ties. Sad but true. Half their criteria is service based. Not saying it's right, just saying what I know to be true
@@paulroland5053 Yep, and this is why international rankings of any sort, especially when it comes to something relatively subjective like food, has its own politics is involved. This is why I don't give much stock to tv/film industry awards, whether wins or nominations, since multiple aspects need to work at the right time in order to get even a nomination - particularly in the acting categories, where acting is probably the very last thing voters look at (the irony).
Michelin rates chefs, not restaurants. While these BBQ joints have head chefs, they aren’t the kind that gets stars. That being said, Blacks, the restaurant they are at, would absolutely have at least a star if they were the kind of restaurant that was rated
Every single section of that plate was like discovering a new culture with each bite. Thanks for taking care of your crew, as well, boys. That alone makes me respect how you go about things. Glad you enjoyed one of the truly American entries into the culinary troposphere.
Josh is usually the suave knowledgeable guy introducing Korean food and culture to others and the world. Here HE'S the one being introduced and is getting to have that initial "oh wow" and wonder and excitement he's given everyone else.
We will never forget this trip! Not least because we made a limited edition t-shirt of it... (you can buy one here: getjolly.store )
texas is truly a trip you couldnt forget
That was a long trip for you guys, but I'm sure that you're happy for the experience.
Imagine how well this restaurant would do in England!
Don't know if you guys noticed but a few other you tube channels are reacting to your Texas bbq video. I have already seen 2 different ones; one from a British youtuber and another from a south African youtuber. 😂
Can we order barbecue from this Restaurant Terry Black's
That moment when you realize that you just tested BBQ positive...
I'm a southern woman, and it makes me so happy to see people not only enjoying our food but our culture as well. Worldwide, there is the stigma about Americans and how we're uncultured, and seeing these two men experience our culture regionally and Countrywide makes my heart swell

Sauce is a condiment,…you’re soooo right!
I am bi-BBQ. I can swing both ways. I really do appreciate the excellent meat, but I love a good sauce too. I don't drown it or cover it up though.
@@RobSchellingersauce should compliment the meat, never to out do it.

For the owner of this place that goes in early and stays late to make bbq every day, this is the ultimate compliment for all your work. The guys being speechless and then they make the camera guys try it is so awesome!
The owner does that? I mean kudos if they do. They're not alone though. Big kudos to the workers who make this happen too!
Seriously.. this takes a TEAM!
@@praxton Terry Black's is considered the best BBQ in Texas by many for a reason. Amazingly owned and staffed
I have eaten at the one in Dallas many, many times and I have never had a bad meal or a bad cut of meat.
I am a born and raised Texan and I loved this segment. I have spent 60 years eating Texas BBQ and I still get that same look on my face when I bite into a particularly tasty brisket. Rock on guys!
makes me proud to be a Texan. Texas forever 🤘🏽
Texas bbq is the best bbq.
Me too
I didn’t really understand the craftsmanship and dedication that actually goes into a great brisket until recently. But when done right it is a transformation equivalent to a caterpillar becoming a beautiful butterfly.
I came here to do the same...I love being from South Texas so much and Texas brisket is my favorite thing on earth. Terri Black's is always solid. Their reactions were not fake lol
As a southern American and BBQ junky, Josh and Ollie genuinely enjoying BBQ fills my heart with immense joy

Texas BBQ is the best there is. Other states depend on sauces, which isn’t bad. Real BBQ needs no sauce to make good tasting BBQ.
As a Texan, I could not stop smiling at seeing how much they are enjoying Texas Cooking.
They were literally giddy! haha
@@aewtx Yeah. It is very cute and amazing to watch. I'm happy that they had such a good time there.

My 3 sons and I are visiting Texas in November for 5 days. I hope this place is open...

They have the orgasm eyes every time they take a bite and as a Texan, it makes me so happy. Brits need a place like that in their home country.
Josh really is obsessed with barbeque! He's doing that thing where you over-use all the new words that you learn about from researching a hobby you're obsessed with! Lol
lol the BARK on that!
This is hilarious.. but I'd probably get just as giddy eating this treasure 😅
@@MrLainon 🤣
Proper BBQ is an art that takes many failures to get it done right. Glad a Brit is getting into smoking meats, American style
LOL I literally thought the same thing. Love that for him
Englishman who lives in Texas. This was glorious to watch. When we’ve taken family to Black’s for their first real Texas BBQ experience it goes exactly the same way.
Glad you came over. :)
Being an American, you get the same experience taking about 90% of Americans to Austin for BBQ as well.
@@deeohen8344 Born n raised in Georgia and we talk bout good BBQ...But Texas has us beat.
I’m from NYC and we had a restaurant called Texas bbq’s and it made me always wanna go to Texas. I will get there one day and I’m going to make sure my family and I go to Terry Black’s
Black's! 😋😋😋😋😋
I feel so spoiled now watching this. I've lived in TX my whole life and just now feel like I've been taking it for granted. You guys make it sound like you've discovered a portal to another dimension.
Cuz british food is so bland and digusting
Lmao same. I live like 5 minutes away from Terry Blacks.
😆😆😆😆
I mean.... lbr tho... it ain’t like they’ve got much over there with that much flavor lol they literally SAID they don’t season their batter on their fish in their “fish & chips” dish with a straight face in one video where they were eating fried fish in Louisiana & comparing it to the fried fish in the UK. 😅 anyone who eats anything battered & fried & DOESNT SEASON THE BATTER ain’t used to eating foods with flavor at all! 😂
As someone from South Georgia whos been eating soul food their whole life, I was SHOCKED when they said that in that video! Lol who tf eats anything battered without seasoning the batter!? They’re just over there eating the saddest grease & flour flavored fish!! 😥😥 so sad lol
I was born and raised in Houston. moved to alabama. it's not the same
Some whimp on FB was complaining it was "wasteful" and "too much meat." We just don't need that kind of negativity.
Some angry vegan.
@@Adamz678 just eat twice as much meat next time, that way when he thinks he's making a difference, he's actually making no difference at all.
He was a Prius owner! I was one; moved to Texas, bought Boots, bigger belt buckles, hat, rescued a dog and bought a lifted Truck-F150! And to make it worse; listen to Country music! I have become a full fledged Texan!
If it's paid for, it's can't be wasted
lol right!
I'm a Texan currently living out of state. I can TASTE this video. And your euphoric smiles are contagious.
It's that same goofy look of someone experiencing the acceleration of a Tesla plaid.
Never had BBQ, but I can still taste it. Looks so good and Terry Blacks is known for being great!
I feel jealous that you get to eat so much barbecue you know how it tastes through the screen. I need to go to texas
The smiles. Yes it shows how delicious the food is.
@@chickenrox8926Louie Muellers is a great BBQ place about 1 hour outside of Austin. Definitely go. I took a 4 hour roadtrip from Dallas just to go there.
Josh and Ollie’s shock about how the best meal is just found on the side of the Highway, unassuming restaurant is just a perfect description of southern food. The best foods down here aren’t in chains or Michelin star restaurants, though they do deserve stars; they’re in the random, hole in the wall, mom and pop restaurants. So glad the south is receiving more love and recognition for its amazing food!
Yes! Find the hole-in-the-wall, small town, family-run restaurants. People who take pride in everything they make.
It's $140 for 3 lbs of meat and 5 pints of sides at this place. Hardly a hole in the wall.
Terry Blacks is one of the most well known Austin Texas BBQ spots
@@aaronax726 True, but finding it and from the street it is deceptive.
amazing food here in the south!
As a Texan, I can appreciate this video. Thank y'all for coming and trying our food! Glad y'all enjoyed it!
agreed and yall is just a word of the south
@@hyperfox8597 The origin of the word is actually traced back to the Irish.
@@hyperfox8597 Y'all is more than just a word of the South, it is said with love and bbq 😆
@@moniepony9280 Exactly this
They are all experiencing the food heaven that only BBQ can deliver. Any southern person can tell you that you can find the happiest men on earth at the table with good BBQ in front of them
When they said “It would almost be criminal to put sauce on that.” I cried. They understand. They truly understand.
As a Korean who lives in Texas I'm so glad Y'ALL got to try Texas Barbeque. It's so nice!
I already love barbecue in Korea with a passion, but this video makes me want to head to Texas to try this stuff. Looks insane!
Hey! I’m also a Korean in Texas
As a 10th generation Texan, we pride ourselves on our cuisine and encourage the entire world to dive into BBQ culture.
Fellow Korean Texan here and I second this motion! Central TX does barbecue right, too.
@@FlavorofMind I highly recommend! But if you can't, there is a great place in Wonju called Sweet Oak that does a pretty authentic Tennesee BBQ.
I’m an Aussie and just got home from Texas! Terry Blacks was THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER EATEN!!!!! And an Aussie takes their bbq SO seriously! Hahaha
I dream of Terry Blacks cream corn and ribs every bloody day mate. 😭
I happen to live exactly 10.94 km from Terry Blacks here in Dallas. I could be persuaded to send an urgent dry ice packaged gift box. 😉
You know the saying, Australians are just British Texans. 😄 Being Texan is one of the greatest blessings on Earth. 😁
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Y'all come back now ya hear! ;)
I live 5 minutes from terry blacks it makes me so happy to hear people love it it really is something else
I'm black and ex military... I was a military brat and served for a decade. I've eaten Louisiana bbq from my paternal grandmother, Alabama bbq from my fraternal grandmother, a mixture of the two from my father and mother. I've had bbq from North Carolina, Florida, and several other locations north and south. I have NEVER had better bbq than I've experienced at Terry Black's. Hands down!
Thank you from Texas. That is a real compliment Sir. We take our barbecue very serious.😊
@@dougneuman3274 You're welcome! Don't get me started on your chili! Wow! However, you have work to do when it comes to fried chicken! Hahaha!
Agree, totally agree.....
I love me some BBQ but no one makes better food overall than the south. I love NOLA and eat everything I can down there. Louisiana is the bomb for great food and people.
@@ROSS4712Agreed. The South has the best food, and New Orleans is the epicenter!
Sweet Josh. I feel like he learned the term ‘bark’ and really wanted to use it. So glad you both enjoyed everything!
Lol ikr😂😂
I was giggling for the same … I hope he loaded up on spices to take back home.
As a southerner, I was quite shocked and flattered to have Josh and Ollie, who've had gourmet food in Korea and France and just some of the best food all over the world, to say the texas bbq was their best meal! I think I've been taking it for granted all these years...
Same! 😂
of course it is the best meal...it is the South!
Good BBQ is hard to beat
The whole world has been taking American food for granted. Our portions might be a bit crazy, but we still actually have some damn good food.
@@ThatFilmisGnarly when people say American food is bad, they don't mean the taste
Yall really don't understand how much this warms my heart. I'm a Texan and we really do pride ourselves on our food and being hospitable to each other and seeing other people try our food especially a brit and loving it is amazing I can't stop smiling! I would cook for y'all with pleasure😂

@aw1889
How is this comment relevant to the topic of discussion?
I am going to be honest, when they took a bite out of the brisket end, I started crying. Not from laughter, but genuine emotion of thinking about the first time I ever tried real Texas BBQ.
the first time I tried terry blacks I wanted to cry
Me too. Nothing like it..and knowing I spent too much
No brisket will make me cry
I moved to TX from Michigan 10 years ago. My first Texas BBQ was a near religious experience 😊
@@Kims_Whims what are the prices like
3:04 the bite, the slow smile, then the involuntary laugh-that’s what i adore in food reaction videos. Like; that’s what cooking is about. Pure, physical joy.
I was just gonna say!! That smile says it all!
Josh saying “doing God’s work” with his hands together in reverance 👏as he gleefully skips around smiling 😂That made me laugh so hard. I'm a 5+ generation Texan with family from the BBQ capital of Texas, Lockhart, where Terry Blacks and other family BBQ restaurants originate. Their response and Josh’s respect and glee gave me such satisfaction and joy!
Got a friend that's got cattle ranching family there. She brings back the most amazing jerky's, ground beef, barbacoa, all of it!
Josh is showing the enthusiasm and surprise of all his first-time Korean BBQ guests (the rappers, high schoolers, footballers). Love to see him experience that same eye opening meal with Texas BBQ.
If only they'd bring their asses on over to NC, so we can teach the error of their ways...
@@MegaKat Respectfully, love whole hog NC BBQ but there's nothing like Texas beef BBQ. What do I know though, I'm a New Yorker.
I love how josh is like a little kid when seeing the bbq, it’s so sweet to see him skipping
He did seem to regress about 20 yrs!
Texas barbecue is really good, I understand
I happened to be in Dallas and decided to go here based solely on this video!!! It was freaking AMAZING! I got the pork ribs, brisket, jalapeño sausage, green beans and coleslaw (trying to keep Keto). My friend ponied up with the beef rib. I had some of the beef rib and you gentlemen are 💯% correct! That is the best meat I have EVER had! Thank you so much for this video!!!
As a European by birth who moved to Texas almost a decade ago I can confirm. Texas BBQ is absolutely phenomenal and it blows away every BBQ imitation I had back home in Europe. Like it's not even close, it's like an adult man beating up a toddler, that's how big the difference is. And the crazy thing is that there are another 3 or 4 American styles of BBQ that are just as good as Texan BBQ. And then there's South American BBQ, such as Brazilian BBQ. Europe is so far behind in the BBQ game it's not even funny.
As someone who's lived in Texas for 15 years and married a Texan, I'm of course partial to our BBQ. However, I wouldn't turn down anything from St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, or the Carolinas either. And the folks in South America all have their own unique style with wild flavor too. Completely agree with you observations.
Four other state Bar-B-Q's are as good as Texan?! You trying to provoke another civil war?!
@@camelthegamer7165 Texas is best for beef barbecue, but not for pork, so yes, there are other good styles of BBQ.
Way to shout out the other styles. Each BBQ place has their own flare
- a Kansas Citian
North Carolina has the best pork bbq , cornbread and collard greens. And slaw
Thanks Guys we are 2 Aussies currently on a road trip through Texas and will definitely be making a lunch stop here
I went there before the Joe Rogan bump, and it is amongst the best, if not THE best I’ve ever had and not busy at all. Plan on lines now, but worth it. These guys reaction is not overreaction by any means.
How'd you like it?
DID YOU LIKE IT?
San Antonio has the best bbq places in the country it’s like a religion there
San Antonio has the best bbq places in the country it’s like a religion there
Sometimes, as an American, I can get feeling pretty cynical about the way things are here and focused on negatives, so thank you guys for shining a light on how lovely some of our people can be and how much fun our food traditions are!
Unfortunately the modern progressive wants to destroy these traditions and are often highlighted on the news.
If people stop voting for democrats things will be a lot better
oh i always tell other europeans with anti-american sentiments here in Germany when it comes to American food and say stuff like "yeah its all fast food in America" with a reply like "Did you ever head to try a Jambalaya ? ...NO then STFU" -my personal dream remains to one time fly to new orleans in the craw fish season and eat my self full with it.... my 3 personal dreams about the united states 1. fly to new orleans for cajun food 2. go to a texas chilli cook off. and also have a bbq while in texas. 3. as a wrestling fan see on time a wrestlemania live. I think I could die happy after archived this goals.
@bomberdomme7308 boils aren't so common in New Orleans, you'll want to go towards the bayous, like Houma. My ex is from there and God damn the crawfish boils we had!!! There's places that you can grab a personal sized for yourself. I'd definitely get a rental car if you're going to new Orleans, the French quarter gets old fast as it's a tourist trap
@Bomber Domme although California is known for their bread and wines We have really good Mexican food also!
As a Texan I loved that Josh said it’s criminal if you use a sauce. That’s the best compliment and the goal. Great bbq never needs sauce. Cheers
So true but I still love the sauce
I think the same way about BBQ sauce. I hate when people make ribs and put BBQ sauce while it's cooking, but I love BBQ sauce. I will dip my ribs and Brisket in BBQ sauce.
What about with pulled pork?
"Needs"
Sauce is complimentary.
As a Texan I couldn't stop smiling watching this. Seeing y'all enjoying Texas BBQ this much really is awesome
I absolutely felt the same! Something we take for granted and these two had a time of their lives eating some great Texas BBQ! It was awesome! Haha!
I was about to say the same!!!!
I'm glad it looks good, some people try bqq the first time at some rando places and you can visibly see the meat all dried out.
As someone who has lived in TX all his life, I am so happy to see y'all visit our neck of the woods. TX BBQ is IMO one of the few cuisines that America can legitimately call its own. TX pitmasters are truly the master chefs of slow cooking. As for turkey, a properly cooked turkey is almost addicting to eat. It was one of the candidates for our national bird for a reason!
There isn’t much competition 🤣
I prefer smoked chicken hind quarters over smoked Turkey breast
CA native here. You are the US BBQ representatives. Thanks for representing the nation in the food Olympics!
@RTP Minx I'd say up through Oklahoma on to KC is gotta be damn close to second (tho its bordline the same style in spots so maybe tied some places)
@Shrek I think Texas for beef, KC for pork.
“ITS MAKING ME ANGRY”!
As a Texan, I’m super proud 😊🇺🇸that was so funny and awesome!
Now if you could just be proud about your gun laws.
@@saintsataniko2116 the bbq makes everything ok 🥲
Their comments and reactions are just so genuine and innocent...and always kind. It's absolutely adorable. When they googly eyed or their eyes start rolling around...you can't help but smile from start to finish.
As a Texan, I’m proud to see one of my favorite UA-cam duo enjoy the barbecue ❤
was looking for this - welcome to Texas!
Same! Im glad they loved it! As a Texan i wanna see how they like our seafood (I've been to New Orleans and it tastes almost similar if you go to right places in Texas)
If yall are still around please consider trying Lone Star Kolaches, sausage + cheese + jalapenos , it's a Texas sausage roll
Me too! Texas pride! 😊
Hell yeah
Brisket has a very interesting story. Brisket comes from the lower chest of the cattle and as such is a very dense and hard muscle and was considered a 'throw away' cut because no one could cook it. Well the ranch-hands/cowboys that tended the herds asked the owners if they could have it and they discovered that if you cooked it at a very low heat (ie smoke cooking) over a long period of time the fat would render and soften the meat.
Loved Terry Blacks, amazing BBQ, and the cornbread was so good!
I think I need to try Terry Blacks BBQ. I think I will run up to Austin this weekend.
I want to try the Beef rib.
@@Servants_Heart Interstellars is better IMO and on most days, so is Blacks
No one told me they have corn bread!! Bruh I'm going next weekend thanks!!😂
@@Servants_Heart the one in dallas is way better trust me
The one in New Braunfels is good too. I haven't eaten at the one in Austin, but I have been to NB and Lockhart. The two times I've been to Lockhart the brisket was dried out, I was sad because we've never had a bad experience in NB.

" I don't feel bad, I knew you first, I deserve this " - Ollie 😂😂
6:08 You earned true BBQ fans respect "It would be criminal to put sauce on that".
Lol yep 🤣
100% agree
I honestly wanna see a video where they get the highschoolers, shandy, buvna and their wives to react to their American food trip.
And Mr. Z! 😆
@@spicychickadee Oh please no! 😆
and the twins!
@@asdlom ESPECIALLY the twins 💙
Yes but with food like Texas BBQ it must be fresh and made by experts for the full experience
I have seen Josh and Ollie eat at so many Michillen star restaurants and of course they enjoy it but their rection to Texas BBQ is genuinely on another level and it brings me great Joy. 😁
There's something pure about the simple joy a roadside BBQ can bring when it's done to perfection.
So very nice to see you guys exploring a part of America's culture that can really bring people together. Im from South Carolina, live in Texas now. It is always a great thing to see people learning how good the food in the US is and in the South it is fantastic. Lots of different regions in the US and all kinds of good experiences...
Texan here, y'all hit on one of my favorite things about Texas bbq that I hadn't even thought of: how humble it is. You see a line of people who have been standing there for 4 hours before opening waiting to get in and get the best food you've ever eaten in your life served to you on paper plates and styrofoam cups on the side of the highway, and not a single complaint can be heard about any of it. There's no atmosphere you feel like you have to live up to, it's just good food and good times
I'm born and raised Texan as is my great grandpa. I am so scared that someone is going to come up with proof that they are just acting.
they did it just right too. Barbecue in America is food that's supposed to take an entire afternoon to eat, it's as much an excuse to hang out with your friends as it is to eat a meal. It probably looks weird to a lot of europeans, to just get a huge platter of food and then just go at it with your hands... but yeah, that's kind of the point. There's no ceremony, there's no etiquette, it's just you, the food and the company for a couple hours
Yeah, Georgia ain't much different, though we tend to favor soul food more than BBQ. You ever come to GA, check out Pralines (Kinda like pecan cookies), Divinity (A pecan meringue dessert), and some soul food, especially nice greens that have been slow cooked in leftover meats, typically a bit of pork fat, my favorite are the mustard greens, though they smell awful, their taste is what matters really.
I can physically see Josh's & Ollie's souls leaves their body everytime they took a bite. Hilarious and also making Me so hungry
😆😆😆😆👍👏
As an old man from Fort Worth, you two enjoying our wonderful Texas barbecue for the first time, made me chuckle! Glad you tried it!
As a Southern American, it brings me so much joy watching you enjoy our food.
I’m from Texas and couldn’t quit smiling, watching the entire episode. Thank y’all for coming and trying and ENJOYING our TEXAS bbq and the fixins
FIXINS , do they know that word yet?
@@theCosmicQueen 😂😂 Probably not.
I'm from NYC and haven't eaten meat since the 90s, and I still li e this video because food is amazing, and I get the joy of eating all of it.
“Maybe the best meal of my life” is such a lovely thing to hear from these guys about my state’s food. Y’all’s faces told the story through the whole video. Awesome content.
Native Texan here. This was beautiful to watch. My kids make the same face eating ribs. After a day of swimming in the river in New Braunfels they always want Terry Blacks. Welcome to Texas guys!
Have you been to The Burnt Bean in Seguin yet? Yumm
Got to go to Terry Black,s haven't had a chance to get there yet.
I miss tubing the New Braunfels river. Left TX 10 years ago. Sigh.
@@NakedCommunist just try not to think of how much you’re urine you’re floating in 😆
I've lived my entire 33 years in Texas and smoking BBQ runs in my family, seeing this reaction from people trying real Texas BBQ for the first time makes me incredibly happy. I'm 45 miles away from Terry Black's and there aren't many places i would say could have been better. Great choice. Great representation of our State's best food
As a Texan, I’m proud to say that we pride ourselves on our bbq. It’s a delicate process that takes time and care to do properly. With that comes the best BBQ.
@jak9955that’s part of it too, it’s never perfected you can always make it better
I would say theirs 2 types of style in texas you got northern and southern they should really go try southern more Mexican style BBQ where they peel the face meat from the cows skull that's really good
I’m a Texan currently in the middle of a month in the UK.
Their idea of BBQ is what we know of as grilling and every piece of meat is well done.
A good BBQ or Tex-Mex restaurant would make a killing here, provided you could get Health and Safety to approve your cooking methods. Lol
A Texas BBQ next to a fish and chips place would make a mint. People get tired of the same things over and over. Give them something different and business would flourish by word of mouth.
Yeah, slap a place like this in the Midlands, and it would become a tourist attraction!!
Yeah, it's kinda weird having a BBQ in your back yard in the UK... We're the only ones in our neighbourhood doing it. And I won't cut corners. I am not doing gas. that's not a BBQ. Charcoal or gtfo. Trouble is the smoke. And they have laws in the UK against smoke. So it's out of the question to smoke a brisket for 12 hours, Texas style. It's such a shame... British people would be a heck of a lot more fun if the government would stop making their lives difficult with nonsense rules and laws.
@@CristiNeagu
I can kind of get it in the city, but how about in the country? I'd be surprised if they restricted people where there's no real issue to complain about. I mean how do you clear your undergrowth if you can't run a burn pile?
@@CtrlAltRetreat I think you're supposed to compost. Not sure, I'd love to have an undergrowth to have that problem. The law applies everywhere. The difference is that in the country side people won't be as bothered by your smoke so they won't report you. And they might even agree with you.
Hey guys, I have to say, I have mad respect for you. Most people when they try food from other countries, they go into it closed minded. It was super fun watching you guys, and I hope you enjoyed every aspect of your stay in the US!
It's easy when you're a Brit. No matter what country you go to, the food will be better than what you have at home.
@@respox2191Yes but these two have went to so many different restaurants and tried some of the very best, and even then this is one of their best meals they ever had which is awesome
hard to close the mind if you smell that meat grilling, the smell says time to eat like even if you do not like coffee you tried it after the first time you smelled it brewing. Smells over ride thoughts, most good food smells good when cooking and draws you in. Nothing better than college football saturdays I ride through neighborhoods with grills smoking and being on bike you get all the smells man it is heaven and makes you hungry even if you just ate.
Well said
Well they have tried a lot of American Foods at this point & they already know to expect great flavor if they’re eating any where over here! Lol especially any where in the south. It’s their favorite lol they already know going in that if it’s a popular restaurant over here that it’s gone be bussin! 😂
As a native Texan , I got so much enjoyment from watching you fellas try Texas Bbq for the first time . I realized how much I take such good food for granted! Next time, y’all have to have that peach cobbler with a big ol’ scoop of Bluebell homemade vanilla on top! Game changer 😊
Possible suggestion: You guys need to do a second video of the behind the camera guys finishing the food on your trays adding their own commentaries as they enjoy the same experiences you just did!
That would be cool to see once in a while!
Yes! Great idea, @dmmcbrid70.
Yes!!! Great suggestion!
I'm watching you guys and it's so much fun. As a native Texan who grew up on this stuff, I tend to forget that the rest of the world's cuisine is just so much different. We have 5 regions, and a million different ways of cooking things, all in one big state. Have fun!!
Yeah, they never got gumbo on the upper Texas coast. Or the weird Bahn Mi Vietnamese sandwich variants found in Houston and around Galveston Bay.
And they need to eat a torta from a trailer parked next to a gas station. Not tacos or a burrito, but a torta they've never heard of.
Bruh... As an American, I love watching people experience American style BBQ because it's just that good. It's one of those things that really brightens the mood of anyone who tries it and it always catches people off guard...
But Texas BBQ is on a different level. There's almost no words to describe how rich, flavorful and tender everything is. And yeah, American comfort food has a ton of staples that compliment each other. Our desserts are sweet because the main course was so savory and rich.
After years of longing, today, June 1, 2024, I was able to check a big, fat item off of my bucket list- I finally ate at Terry Black’s. I came to visit my son in Austin, and was determined there would be no unassuaged return trip for me! So I went with my son, ordering one of everything on the menu for both of us to share, well knowing there would be copious doggie bags that would feed us for days. Y’all, it was as good as it was in my dreams, as good as this Jolly video and all the other videos report, and I am happy to say it was so straight up delicious on its own merit, that I 100% forgot about that big, fat bottle of bbq sauce on the table, never touching it once. The only thing that could have made this experience any better would be if I was wearing a cowboy hat and boots.
Josh just continuously and euphorically handing everyone meat is beautiful
A gracious man is never afraid of sharing. 🙏
Some of the best sausage is made in central Texas because of the huge German influence that goes back generations. Love watching you guys enjoy the food I grew up on. Cheers!
I will judge a bbq joint by their sausage. Such an overlooked art. Still have Meyers garlic high on the list but the sausage from both Franklins and Black's is sooo good
Yes!! The jalapeño cheese sausage from Czech Stop in West, just north of Waco, Texas is hands down my favorite sausage anywhere.
Wisconsin also has a huge beer and sausage industry due to the German immigrants.
Texas is really it's own world - culturally, geographically, historically and socially. Unless you've been there and have had the luxury of immersing yourself in it at any one place or time, it's kinda hard to describe. I was lucky enough to have lived in the Dallas/Ft Worth area for a few years in the early 80s and I barely even scratched the surface. Some of the best years of my life that I still recall and cherish to this day. And Texans are another story all together. Amazing place and I'm a little jealous of you guys, quite frankly. GREAT POST!
I’m Minnesotan and in my 40 years, I’ve NEVER had genuine Texas bbq but I just wanna say that this comment section is wonderful. All these Texans so excited you love their food. Lots of great people in this country❤️🤍💙
I'm so glad y'all enjoyed Texas barbecue. The original Black's is one of those that I grew up going to once or twice a month with friends and family, and Terry Black's is just as good, if not better, in my opinion. That whole family is so damn talented.
The original blacks brings back memories of my childhood… love terrys as well… a true central texas BBQ icon.

@@majorwakanda8858 salt lick is for tourists. It’s not even in the same league.

Glad to know there’s even better barbecue just down the highway.
One of the best reaction videos I've ever seen. Jolly is straight grade A entertainment.
As a Texan I smiled the whole time watching you guys enjoy some Texas cuisine. ❤
Thanks Josh & Ollie, we’re an Aussie couple currently in Austin, it’s our second day here and wanted to try Texas BBQ but there were 2 Black’s BBQ and came across this vid so now we’re def doing the Terry Black’s Bbq! We’re going today! So excited🎉
Welcome to Austin, y'all! You could stay here a month and not eat your way through all the good food in this town. 😀
Enjoy!
Enjoy!!
how did it go?
I live right near Austin actually and believe me when i say that y’all chose one of the most culturally diverse cities here. I hope y’all enjoyed Terry Blacks!
As an unabashed American, this made me teary eyed with pride. 🇺🇸 The expressions...the eye rolls and slumping in the seat...just taken aback....So blessed to have experienced that so many times in my life eating classic American food. When its so good you wanna cry......
We call that an orgasmic food experience in my family.😂
Of all the Jolly vids, this is the one I watch the most, and the one I introduce your vids to others with. I think it's the magic of when you bite into the Dino rib with its flavours seeping into your body and the subtle bluegrass music in the background like America is seeping into your soul. That and your facial expressions, just warms my heart like I've had a big meal myself.
Now you guys have to introduce the high school students to Texas BBQ! Their minds would literally blow!
Very good idea
Their heads and mouths would literally be nuked lol
Now that I would really like to see. I love watching all of the schoolkids taste American foods but this barbecue would be mind- blowing to them
how would they get it Over There?
Find an American expat, especially from Texas, with bbq experience - although to be honest, a reasonable number of Texans can make bbq, but there's a far smaller number that can do it /gloriously/
I’ve eaten in five star restaurants all over Europe and North America and for me…NOTHING beats Texas bbq.
So have I and I agree with you 100 percent
Ollie is one of the funniest people I have ever seen. I love jolly because their dynamic is great and even more so because Ollie, I don't know man, his delivery, his left field jokes, his ability to blindside you with punchlines that are uniquely worded, there are just few people who have given me so many wholesome laughs in my lifetime and this is a legitimate thanks for that mate. You have made me smile so many damn times and are an absolute gem. Take care you two 🤘🏻
❤ sometimes I thought the same thing about the situation and Ollie beat me to it by saying first. 🧡😜🤔👍🥳😎!!
"I'm also an idiot,too!" but my friends/family being nice saying "you're so silly!!"😅🤣😁✌️
I couldn't agree more! He's just an originally witty and genuinely funny dude.
You just put words to my every thought!! He really is a GEM of a man! ✌️🩷
Yeah hes gifted in that for sure
As an American I’m so jealous of all this food. Even we don’t get this stuff in Utah
I'm in utah too and not much of a BBQ person (unless you count burgers lol) but I really wanna try this place now to see if it'd convert me
LesBBQ just bought a building in Salt Lake City
Bam Bam's in American Fork is the best in the state. Their fatty brisket is superb.
@@setaside2 I'll have to give this and Les a try. The last barbecue I had here was from the stand in front of Macey's in Orem. 😂
I love how integral to Jolly and Korean Englishman feeding Adam has become.
Also, Ollie, if you're wondering how a 14 year old girl can eat that much, just wait till Juno gets a bit older; teens can always eat twice as much as you thought they could. Yes, even after you've seen how much they can eat and plan the bigger portions.
As a southerner I feel proud to see foreigners enjoying our food so much. I live in Oklahoma, but close to Texas. Texas certainly has some of the best bbq in the United States. Thanks for sharing your love for it!
Texas definitely has the best smoked BBQ in the world... 💯👍
maybe the best BBQ Beef but BBQ pork goes to the Carolina's and Ribs would be in Memphis while the best chicken be in KC
this stuff makes me want to go there so bad lol, you guys get a bad rep but u seem like the friendliest people i swear. love from The Netherlands.
As a Texans it pains me to say but Oklahoma can smoke some meat. Some great completion guys come out of there.
Luke has been living his best life recently. We love to see it 😂
For real XD from the buvna trip to the America travels he's been getting FED lucky guy 🤣
I’m so happy they’re taking him everywhere, he’s a highlight for me always 😂
Tell your camera man he needs to find a new hair cut. The Matilda look doesn’t work for him
Seriously 🤣🤭 and it's so wholesome!
Brings tears to my eyes how much y’all appreciate all kinds of American food! Y’all need to make a video in Louisiana- Cajun & creole, you guys gotta try the authentic stuff!
They're so amazed by the barbecue they're even showing the reactions of the crew for basically every single bite 😂
what they dont realize is how many americans make just as good a meal at home a few times a year. and thats just the BBQ...
@@joshjones718 i think that's really a gross underestimation of how hard it is to cook proper Que, there is an art form to proper Que and you talk like it's so easy that you could do it. i mean sure if you to try you'd probably make some decent Que, but it's likely gonna be tough and/or dry, because you dont know what you're doing.
@@UltimateGamerCC Really good point, as a northerner i wouldnt know the first thing about making que. What you know is based on what you grew up with. Homemade Italian food is a different story
@@e50s65 yeah, but even then you still need to practice making the stuff, but that's the same with all aspects of cooking.
@@UltimateGamerCC people love to make them feel above others. they can't appreciate hard work and people enjoying it
I'm strangely addicted to this video. Never seen these guys before (although now I realize that I've seen some of their British students eating vids). But I've come back to this like a dozen times. It just makes me happy when I see people from other nations truly enjoying American food.
Being Texan born and bred, this video makes me so happy. It does my heart good to see others live our bbq as much as we do. The look on Josh, Ollie and the crews face is priceless ❤❤❤❤❤
So good to see our British friends truly enjoying some good old American barbecue!!😃
The pure joy they had both in eating the food and sharing it with the crew was delightful.
As a born and raised Texan, Terry Blacks is the BEST!🙌🏽 They are catering my wedding!👰🏽♀️
May I have a invitation????? Lol jokes aside congratulations on your oncoming wedding day
Born in Texas, raised in GA, moved back to TX when i was 13, it makes me so so happy to see y’all enjoying texas bbq! Smoked turkey is my absolute favorite! I could almost smell and taste it myself, welling up with tears of happiness to see y’alls love of our cuisine!
I love how much this feels like a couple of bros just going around trying things and having fun. So genuine and fun to watch. I continually have a smile on my face when I watch these videos
I know right this really warms my heart mann. Would love to this one day
As a Texan, it just fills my heart with joy to see them carrying those red platters of BBQ gold. Those trays are at almost every BBQ place y'all go to and its a experience I take for granted. This video really kinda opened my eyes on what I got; and I'm so happy Josh and Ollie got to experience that. I bet Terry Black's workers were shocked having y'all as guest too! I would be!
Same, this made me think I've been taking it for granted!
As a Dallas native I can say that Terry Black's is AMAZING! So glad you you got to try real Texas BBQ there! The pork ribs are my favorite and I totally agree it's like pork candy. My parents first tried this in Austin and raved about it for years.
The stuff you couldn't figure out what it was is called Cole Slaw. The beans are just baked beans. And they call it Peach Cobbler because it's kind of 'cobbled' together using peaches, sugar, a little bit of dough and just enough butter. YUMMMMM. I don't believe a person has truly lived until they've tried cobbler with at least 4 different fruits. Cornbread made correctly can't be beat! I could eat it every day!
The top of a cobbler looks like cobbles on a road. Allegedly.
I'm very proud to be a Texan. I get a special kind of joy watching people try our BBQ. Among the many things I am proud of about being a Texan, it's all about the BBQ. It embodies our hospitality. Wish you guys had a gallon of iced sweet tea with your meal.
did i, a vegetarian, sit and enjoy this more than i should have? absolutely i did.
A true test of your convictions would be to actually sit at Terry Blacks and remain vegetarian. 😉 I know I would not have the will power.
@@kencramer1697 💯
Lolol too funny!
Lol I’m vegan and I totally don’t understand how I enjoy this as well. I do think about how I could smoke something like jackfruit 😂😂😂
The cornbread sounded amazing, too
“I do not feel bad. I knew you first; I deserve this.” “Commiserations, Gabby. You tried, but at the end of the day, I won.”
Of course Ollie brings it all back to the battle of the wives 😂
In the end, Ollie somehow ends up winning or getting somewhat close to a victory, LMAO
We all know that Ollie is the OG wife! 😂
@@Sassymouse88 Of course! 😄
I really want to find the first vid that Ollie said that he’s the first wife 😂
@@whereyoubean Oh man, that’s a tough one! Possibly the very first wife vs best friend challenge about 4 years ago?? The way they talk about the dynamic makes it seem like it’s the first time bringing it up on camera.
Y'all, you have no idea how much joy these Texas videos are bringing me.
Best one yet.
As a Texan, I'm so happy yall got to try this. I've got a Terry blacks down the street from me, and it's worth all the hype and more
Josh is so obviously pumped at the start of this video, skipping around and telling one of the BBQ pit masters that they're doing 'God's work' - and meanwhile Ollie gets in front of the camera and starts going on about how huge is head is 😂 This is like being on an elementary school field trip, in the best way!
Damn, I just realised now that you actually leave a lot of comments on these videos lol
@SaberTooth guilty as charged 🤣 I have been watching just about every KE and Jolly episode for awhile now. Have been wrapped in both the food and the amazing laughs in every video. These guys make great content 🙂
@@FlavorofMind couldn’t have said it better man 😂
167 comments on Jolly alone, to be precise👏👏 Don't feel guilty by the way :) We're all here for laughs and food
@@tomlix15 haha... it's neither pride nor guilt 🙂 I'm just happy to be enjoying it all!
Texas bbq restaurants should receive michelin stars. The time and work not to mention precision is up there with world class dining. I hope it’s recognized one day
I worked in some high end restaurants in DC and Baltimore. If Michelin went by food only, there would be a few bbq spots with stars. Michelin judges won't even sit down in a place without white table clothes and waiters in shirts and ties. Sad but true. Half their criteria is service based. Not saying it's right, just saying what I know to be true
@@paulroland5053 Yep, and this is why international rankings of any sort, especially when it comes to something relatively subjective like food, has its own politics is involved. This is why I don't give much stock to tv/film industry awards, whether wins or nominations, since multiple aspects need to work at the right time in order to get even a nomination - particularly in the acting categories, where acting is probably the very last thing voters look at (the irony).
Michelin rates chefs, not restaurants. While these BBQ joints have head chefs, they aren’t the kind that gets stars. That being said, Blacks, the restaurant they are at, would absolutely have at least a star if they were the kind of restaurant that was rated
Josh's excitement for food is infectious! It makes my whole day!
Every single section of that plate was like discovering a new culture with each bite. Thanks for taking care of your crew, as well, boys. That alone makes me respect how you go about things. Glad you enjoyed one of the truly American entries into the culinary troposphere.
Josh is usually the suave knowledgeable guy introducing Korean food and culture to others and the world. Here HE'S the one being introduced and is getting to have that initial "oh wow" and wonder and excitement he's given everyone else.
