That waitress is worth her weight in gold, what a sweetheart. I hope her boss recognizes how lucky he is to have such a good employee.
I hope she gets a big raise after this! She's precious!
I'm sure she makes mad tips.
@@wfj50 she gets paid in tips-- and I'm sure her customers adore her, and take good care of her ❤
waitress is 10/10 a classic southern queen
Y’all must not b from the south. This is typical southern hospitality and most of us have it.
“Georgia’s big on peaches. I learnt that from Justin Bieber.” Is the most British statement in this entire video
I read this comment before getting to that part of the video, and I thought, "Ha, classics Ollie right there!" And then Josh said it? My world has been shaken.
@@secretforreddit sameee
😂😂😂
Says a Brit quoting a Canadian about U.S. Southern cooking. 😅
Of course it is considering that Justin Bieber is a Canadian LOL
My mom and I went to Sweet Potatoes Kitchen today! I told the owner I was there specifically because of this video. He said they've gotten a ton of business because of it.
I had blackened chicken breast, black eyed peas, cucumbers with mustard vinaigrette and a baked sweet potato. My mom had shrimp and grits, okra and corn pudding. We did have their banana pudding.
The food was incredibly good. Probably one of the best meals I've ever had.
Awesome you are supporting a local business like that and I'm glad you had a great meal.
Was it this same lady Santana working!?
@@Austin_159 She no longer works there.
@@groom_of_the_stool That's sad!
I figured that would be the case. Poor thing I hope she found something better. She gave the experience.
When they reacted to the collared greens, I immediately had a flashback of my grandmother fussing at us kids. "...Y'all better eat them greens! Ain't nothing wrong with them greens! Those are some good greens!" 😅
Southern greens are not supposed to be bitter, and they are not usually cooked with lemon. Greens are supposed to be savory... some people add a small amount of vinegar and/or spice... but NOT lemon... and neither flavor should be overpowering the greens
@@dannikawitten8891 Greens are absolutely naturally bitter, like, that's just what they taste like. It's not a bad thing, but saying Greens aren't bitter is wild.
@@dannikawitten8891 me too 😁
@@Sicuangaurna sorry no shade imma keep it real but I ain't never had no bitter greens from a Black person
@@antigua26no fr I ain’t NEVER had bitter greens and I’m black and my family is from the south👀💀
As an American, when he said "we have the same ingredients in the UK but the flavors here are revolutionary" I couldn't help but feel patriotic.
Lol, so true. Now that it's july and I'm in the south the whole month for me I just think about and appreciate all these southern American delacasies!
🤣🤣🤣🤣...pure gold
I will be attending the Fourth of July this year 🎉
Melting pot for sure: African, Native American, French, German, Irish, Scottish, British, even Norwegian influence
The one time I feel patriotic, lol.
I laughed when the waitress said, "Put the camera down, Ducky and eat." So funny!
True southern hospitality
Southerners make sure everyone is fed😂
Santana Hanna from Savanna is the best part of this ep
Southerners are like grandma feeding their grandkids
And we always think everything looks skinny, even if it's the pet goldfish
Southern people are the Gems of America. The first time my dad took me to Tennessee I fell in love with it just because of how kind the people were! They make you feel so welcome and they are so down to earth.
Thank you. We get a fair amount of hate and disrespect. I lived half my life in the South, then half up North. Pretty different cultures, but not as different as each thinks about the other, on a very basic level.
@@cassaleelee The majority of the people who hate on it have probably never been. I love the south!! 💜
You always welcome down here love!! Thanks for the love back!
@@CaseyAngelicaHardy Yes! And if they can only get rid of Marjorie Taylor Greene...then they are reaching perfection:))
@lisamills161 I find its more the older gents and missus that vote for those people, alot of the younger generation are not very tolerant of her so maybe in a decade the south will be perfect!
Her customer service skills are out of this world!!! give that woman a raise
I love how Ollie doesn't lie at all just to please anyone. If he likes it, its on his face, if he doesn't like it, he won't lie.
Yea, I like his honesty about what we doesn't like. It's ok to not like something.
Yesss so true. He’s kind about but always honest. Love that
@@ravenna6543 exactly, last video he loved a cinnamon biscuit but not dipped in coffee. Well, neither do most Americans. Fair enough
Don't think he's fully in control of that face.
Ollie is clearly Autistic. That's why he's so honest.
Ms. Santana is the picture of Southern friendly hospitality. Not pretentious, just genuine smiles, a good time, and endless cups of iced sweet tea!
Unless 😀
@@Mrneonsean lolol thank you for catching that!
Good waitress, keeping the customer's glasses topped!
I’m just a server at a restaurant. I’m nothing special. Thank you so much for the compliment!
@@santana0511 omg hi Santana! 😱😱😀😀
As someone from Florida (I know we're not really "the south" to some, but bear with me), there's something that makes me so happy about seeing non-southerners trying and enjoying southern cooking.
I live in Florida for the last 40 years and I can promise you I consider myself Southern as you should as well LOL❤❤ and I agree with you I love watching them try our food
It depends. North Florida and the pan handle is purely Southern. Down south, it's its own thing.
SOME people may not consider us the south, but North Florida is 100% Southern, North florida and South Florida are 2 DIFFFERENT WORLDS. i tell people, if you want good Carribean food and some different cultural foods, go to south Florida (Orlando Area nd below), if you want good BBQ and Southern food go to North Florida. Dont go to places like treasure island or Siesta key expecting good BBQ
Honey, up by Tallahassee is sure nuf “Southern.” 🥘🥧 But down by Miami, Orlando and other cruise port cities, it’s not so much the same vibe - more fancy food not like old time Sunday supper. It’s so different and diverse 🍤🍜🍣
I grew up in north Florida - trust me we are Southern,
I’m from South Carolina, USA and I grew up eating everything you guys just ate. And now I’m 63 and my mouth has been watering the whole time I had to watch you guys on this video.🤣🤣🤣
Same, I'm dyin over here 🤤
I know they realize it’s a genuine local cuisine, but do they _really_ understand that some of us grew up in SC with grandparents who cooked this kind of food every single day? 😂 Can’t stand okra, and I prefer mustard-based BBQ sauce, but otherwise this is perfect.
@@kimberlyoldschool oh you are talking my language. I used to eat at Hammy’s in Elgin and it was the best bbq I’ve ever had. And yes, my grandmother cooked all that stuff and taught me to cook thank God. And now I get to cook all of those things for my family here in Virginia. I have seven grandchildren and they all kind of like what I cook and kinda don’t like what I cook Lol
Santana is the kind of host you wouldn't even get tired of talking about so many things in life even though it must have been hours that passed
Lol, I love the fact that she was looking out for Ducky and making him eat!
Very cool. Being from Alabama, I’ll say this is exactly what southern cooking and hospitality is about.
@@MicahMann im glad they got a good host, while the hospitality here in bama's good it doesn't always take kindly to strangers. also, have you ever heard of pecan butter? thats new to me. been up to clanton for peach festival so the peach bbq chicken wasn't too surprising; and apparently over in the UK theyve got this thing they call sugar pie, which is pecan pie without the pecans on top.
She's the type of server that'd have me coming back to a place even if the food was just alright. If the food is great and she's the host, I'd be there every other week
And she didn’t know what grits were?
It was a pleasure to meet y’all! The Sweet Potatoes fam loves Santana SO very much and we are lucky to have her!!
Aww ur so sweet!!! Ur lucky to work with such amazing people ❤
Can't wait to come visit. The Food looks amazing and Santana is the best.
What I want to know is if they were good tippers :)
She is a treasure.
Hoping to get to Savannah to check this gem of a restaurant out!
Actually, grits are made from hominy. The correct name is Hominy Grits.
Corn is soaked in lye or lime waterto make hominy. The lye is then strained to remove the kernels and all is rinsed and rinsed and rinsed some more. The kernels are dried, ground, and then cooked like you cook oats.
You can deep fry the hominy for corn nuts, too.
Try them with eggs, over easy, cut into them. Or with shrimp diced into it. Salt, pepper, and butter. Grits are very versatile.
I prefer hominy to grits honestly
Correct. Grits are just better polenta, because it's soaked in lime or lye. That also makes more nutrients available.
I’m an old man from the Northern USA. Served in our military and lived in various southern locations. Southern food is extremely addictive.
"I'ma get you some more tea honey" might be the best words a southern waitress can utter
@alliyahsaotome1917 sweetie, it's just the way we talk! Proud to be Southern! Gimme sommma that sweet tea (Is there any other kind, lol)
Yes!! 100%
Especially when said to a pair of Brits
Unlimited iced tea is the house wine of the South
Early in the video I was wondering where the tea was
"You gotta fix your face!" That's like the most Southern Mom thing to say. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂yes!! My momma said it to me and my friends and I say it to mine, too! Lol!!
Mums all over the world say that 😂 I’m in Scotland 🏴
@@ballpythonlover10 she's omplying there's somethrinf wrong with your face, that's funny
It's usually followed by, "before I do"
Or possibly "get me a switch"
Im Jamaican and my mom says it all the time
Being a New Orleans resident for 73 years I started watching your channel when you were touring New Orleans restaurants and I greatly appreciated your responses to our spicy flavorful dishes. I had a friend from England who often cooked her home dishes for us but I never enjoyed it until I started bringing my own Toney’s Cajun seasoning with me and liberally sprinkled it over everything. I just found it so bland and flavorless without the addition of the spices. I asked her permission to add it so I wouldn’t hurt her feelings and she said she understood and after she tasted her food with the additional spices she agreed wholeheartedly and stated adding it to her own cooking. She brought Toney’s home when she went to visit and introduced it to her family. They now have it shipped to them in England and use it regularly. They also say they don’t understand why the English don’t take advantage of adding spices and extra seasoning to their food. I truly enjoy that you are willing to try everything. The only thing I would say to you is don’t write off any food just because you didn’t like it the first time you taste it. Eating in the US is like eating in many different countries. Southern Louisiana food is different than eating even Northern Louisiana food because they have vastly different cultures. Each state or region in the US has their own unique cuisine and culture. Northern states foods are quite bland to us in Southern Louisiana. Take the collard greens you ate. We don’t use lemon and vinegar in ours. We smother them with seasoning and ham or sausage then some may sprinkle the juice from pickled peppers 🌶️ lightly on top. A completely different flavor. Never judge the US food by one particular area. Love ❤️
I'm a Canadian who has travelled extensive and experienced almost every food around this planet. I love these Brits taste vlogs as its fun see people experience something outside the norm whether it be bad, strange, or fantastic.
I know, right? Even if they try something new and don't like it, I'm sitting here thinking "Good for you, trying something new!"
Santana is the BEST example of Southern hospitality. I am glad she represented us so well!
No... She didn't even know what grits were.
Was just going to say this, I’m British but would love to be served by her, so friendly, enthusiastic, and funny. Would get a big tip from me.
@@deedeelaveen6872 Don't like your own negative comment its weird....
Hi, so um... I have a very awkward and hard question, so I dearly apologize beforehand for my ignorance. I'm not from US, but I'm tad confused about the "southern" thing. So far I've been hearing two very jarring things about south US: that southerners are racist and are very kind. I know technically one does not mean the other one can't apply, but does this mean southern hospitality doesn't apply to all race for a lot of southern people, or is the "south being racist" is just a very ignorant viewpoint that isn't true at all?
To anyone who are willing to answer I really appreciate the time and I hope you can understand that this comes from a place of curiosity and wishing to fix my ignorance in this specific topic.
She was so sweet. I'm 37 from Arkansas and also didnt know what grits were though I've eaten them.
Lol she is literally one of the most southern waitresses ever
The way she touches their arms
And says "I'm gonna get you some more honey" it's hilarious 😂
That's just Georgia manners at their finest. 😁
“Put down that camera, Dunkey, and eat!”
@@amygreen4408 Most people In Georgia are jerks ngl
The only thing which would make her more Southern is to pronounce Pecan as "Pee - Can"
@@pruittiii LOL fr I say it like that
Southern cooking is one of the best things we have in the USA.
“We sell these pickles by the jar.” Both heads whip around - you do?
Loved the synchronized reaction!
Of course, they’re married.
Sorry Gabie😅
insert Dicaprio meme
I truly hope they were able to get some home to England.
The way that Santana keeps hitting Ollies arm is the definition of true southern hospitality
Exactly! That's exactly what I kept thinking!
Tbh i thought it was just me that does it out of habit. It really is a southern culture thing
Don’t walk into a southern pool hall discussing the girth of that pickle. 🤣
Yes, the touching is a gesture of making a new friend and showing affection to an old friend! I had to get use to it when I moved to the South. Also, the hugs. We hug a lot down here. But what my Southern friends had to get use to from me, (being half-Italian), is the kisses on the cheeks I give to all my friends and family when saying both Hello and Goodbye, (Ciao)! So, we each had something to get used to and both are very lovely and loving gestures.
@@johnweimer3249 LOL! Good one, John! No, they best not do that!!
Lol I love their innocence . . . Like watching a baby eat solid food for the first time 😂 . . . But I'm sure they don't realize how much butter they just ate haha 😅
I love how Savannah constantly adapts her conversation/approach to match her guests. Like she starts off saying the corn pudding is “strange but good, right?” And then when Ollie doesn’t like it she switches it up and says “yeah, the textures what gets me too,” and it happens multiple times. like-she’s not fake, you can’t fake that energy that consistently-but her work is calculated, and the switches are so seamless that you hardly notice it even on a recording until you watch it multiple times. I like it, I respect it, and I admire it!!! She’s a stellar hospitality worker!
When the Brits said the flavors were "Revolutionary" I giggled a bit because that's a truly spot on description 🤣🤣
Yeah I caught that too. 😁😁
😂🤣
‘merica
We win yet another Revolution
Lol 😆 so did I!!
Because if there's one thing America knew how to do, it was start a revolution!
You can just tell that Santana is one of those people that just makes you feel like you’re at home☺️
She does seem super nice. A lil touchy-feely, but nice
Yep, I knew a waitress like this in my home town. Everyone knew her when they walked into the restaurant and they all talked to her like family as she went from table to table.
@user-mh2df2tn8e in part, that's the southern hominess. But regardless of where, a waitress with those people skills (outside of any five-star restaurant in a big city) will make tons of money
I mean, she is on camera. Most people don't show if they're twats when on camera. 😂 Not saying it's an act, just saying you can't automatically assume someone is nice just because they're nice on camera.
Exactly
Im from Georgia and watching them try food i grew up on and love it, gives me so much joy
912 savannah Georgia BULLDOGS 🫡🤷🏾♀️🍑❤ THEY KNOW NOTHING BOUT THE SOUTH 😊🤦🏾♀️😂
I didn’t see y’all eat the corn bread, but those are all legit southern meals right there 🤤 I know exactly what I’m having for dinner tonight 😂 So glad you guys enjoyed it!
Allright. Any receipes you would like to share?😂❤❤
"I'm gonna getcha some more tea, honey!" That one over-the-shoulder line basically sums up the hospitality.
Makes my southern heart happy to watch you guys try southern food. Collards are bitter but turnip greens are my favorite!!
This video brings me back home.. I love the culture I was born into.
I'm from Alabama and my husband is from New Orleans. We had a couple who were British friends and another couple from South Africa. Our male friend from England was dying from cancer and his wife and family decided to combine ALL holidays into Thanksgiving Day because we didn't know how much time he had left. Everybody brought dishes for dinner, but being southern, my husband and I took 12 dishes. He nor I know how to do small. I cooked Alabama Southern and my husband cooked Cajun and Creole. There were no leftovers! Those folks could EAT! It was a wonderful night with friends. Our friend died after Christmas. This video reminded me if that sweet night. Thank you fir sharing and rest in peace Paul.
Sounds like such a lovely friendship. ❤
Thank you for sharing such an Amazing and cherished memory.
Bless y'all for cherishing that time together with your friend. They say food is a window into the soul and it's nice to hear y'all shared a piece of yourself with your group. May he rest in peace.
So glad you guys were able to all get together and share some love before he passed..
@@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary Thank you. We sure did! It was a bit strange walking into the house to see that Paul's wife and daughter had decorated the house for all holidays. One wall was New Years, the next was valentines, and Easter, 4th of July, memorial day, labor day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course, Christmas. We had pooled our decorations so we had plenty for every holiday. Paul was feeling pretty good that night. He drank cocktails, smoked a cigar and joked outside with our husband's before coming in and eating THREE plates of food! He and his wife said they loved American food because it had so much flavor. With my husband being cajun, there was no lack of flavor! I brought a dessert that my French ancestors brought recipe to America with them in early 1700s, called Charlotte Russe. It's made from heavy whipping cream, sugar, egg whites and clear gelatin. I thought my friends were going to crawl in the bowl with it! Lol! Paul loved it so much, I made another bowl full the next day and took it to him. Food brings people together to make memories. We made some good ones.
“I’ll get ya some more tea honey” is probably the one most single thing I have heard the most times while growing up in the south eating at restaurants. They just nonstop keep making the tea. I never complained.
Lol! Yep, fountain soda, it’s one and done, but tea? Bottomless refills! Works for me. 🤣
And then you get to spend the rest of the day peeing every 15 minutes.
@@berthayling1032 Most places here give free refills on soda as well
that and "y'all come back now, ya hear?"
@@berthayling1032 ya reaility soda foutain like shell and gas stations are close to 30 cents sold at $1.00 or more, they can keep profit at 1 or 2 refills possibly 3?
This lady should teach a course on giving service with a smile. What a beauty
So I am a Yankee and learned a ton about Southern food today too. I need to get down to Savannah! Hope the now Mrs. Hannah (she said she was getting married in a few days after your visit) is still there. She is so awesome!!! I honestly think this is one of my fav episodes foody wise. Can't beat the 2-year old Juno ones but this really had me smiling big time.
"What's crazy about this is they're using the same ingredients as in the Uk, but the flavors are completely revolutionary." XD 😆 🤣
The cook is always the secret ingredient.
@@CIMaddox56 and the concept of seasoning
Just like the war
Sausage gravy on biscuits is what gets me thru life
There are some uniquely american combinations.
My fav part is Santana being Ducky's mom for 2.5 seconds and telling him to put his camera down. He listened too 🤣
YES that was so cute! 🤣
Well she's the big mama isn't she 😂
That is also a very Southern thing to say. We make sure everybody eats and is full!
Ducky was amazing- literally & got to partake & hopefully enjoy the experience!
Manners, etiquette, and couth are a big deal in the south.
Santana Hannah from Savannah is absolutely the BEST waitress. She is PRICELESS! I hope the owner realizes what a gem she is. Love her!!!!
"The flavors are completely Revolutionary!"😂😂 I see what you did there...
I love how they say the sweet potatoe is giant when that's like the smallest sweet potato I've seen in forever
Yes! That was a tiny baby sweet potato for sure.
The chicken too
We get sweet potatoes in smaller and bigger sizes here in South Africa. Sometimes you get ones so big that you can't cover them with both your hands and some are just normal single side dish size. Ours are also mostly not that orange, but more yellow with a purple skin. Baked in the oven they are yummy.
Yeah, I worked back of house in several kitchens and that was a baby one 🙂
Josh: Why don't we ever do jacket sweet potatoes?
Ollie: Well, they're not that big, generally, in England.
He's not talking about the size. When he says "they're not that big", he means they're not popular. Lots of Jolly/Korean Englishman videos of Brits not liking sweet potato items/dishes.
I love Ducky's behind-the-camera comments to help them know what's normal. "She just filled my tea back up!! Is that normal?" "Yes" Most Southerners would be upset if they didn't. LOL. Thanks for helping them understand America, Ducky =)
The sign of a great waitress/waiter is that your glass is never allowed to go dry! 😂
@@michaelsullivan89 yep😂 even if it’s half way Full they fill it back up😂❤
Never understood the non-stop tea when I moved to Kansas City from Connecticut..I LOVE IT NOW!!!
💜💜💜
Many foreigner don't realize that unlimited refills at American restaurants is much a thing as it is.
Y’all chose the right place to go for this one. Savannah, GA has some of the best food in the country, and is so rich with culture. Glad you boys enjoyed!
912 savannah GA. Forsyth Park is were I was raised. Duffy St and abercorn 🤷🏾♀️🫡🍑🎖️🎖️
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos. Your reactions are so priceless. And I also reflect on how blessed I am to live in United States of America.
When they ate the ice cream I cried from laughing so hard! I had to rewind and watch over and over! Priceless! 🤣🤣🤣
Congrats on the marriage Santana! Her service was awesome
Agreed!
I think she took a shine to Ollie the way she kept tapping him on the arm.
100% she is the kind of server you want when you go out to eat. She was so lovely!! I would have tipped her extremely well.
@@eurogael - a lot of southerners are touchy feely, they probably also got hugs when they left.
I’m a toucher/hugger. It’s just the way we are in the south.
santana saying the “amaze-ing” joke made me crack up laughing and josh and olly not knowing what she meant at first made it even better LMFAOOOO
I know, right? LOL 🤣🤣
I "caught it" almost immediately as she dragged out the vowel, "ama-a-aizing," and was a bit surprised the Brits did not, considering the European tendency to use that term more frequently than "corn."
It's "a-maize-ing" with an "i"
Same here....she said "A-maaaaaize-ing" and I giggled, and then he said it right back......and then it was clear he didn't get the joke, lol.
I thought he got it the first time 😆 it was just a courtesy laugh
I love that when they get to the sweet potato it’s almost like a fork fight to get the last bite 🤣
Love you guys! So great to see honest fun reactions from people from another nation. And waitress was freaking fantastic!
Can you imagine going back home and eating beans on toast after this?
🤣🤣🤣
@@BP-kx2ig because "British cuisine" is an oxymoron
Conquered the world for spices, and then didn't even bother using any.
When my British friends recommend me food I just smile and wave lol
Only vacation I have ever taken where I lost weight was to England.
The camera guy saying, "It's gravy" when they were trying to figure out what was on top of their chicken was absolutely hilarious.
Milk and cheese are counsins.
I love how you two banter. You're so concilliatory and supportive! It's nice!
Being able to cook all this food because your family has always cooked this food is worth its weight in gold!!!! Especially when it's delicious!!!!
Being from NC living in the UK for 18 years watching you not even touch the cornbread or Biscuit is torture 😂
Why did they not have the cornbread with the country fried chicken??? 😭😂
you can actually see a singular solitary bite out of the cornbread, they just don't talk about it
Am i the only person from the south that hates cornbread.
@@papaguche probably one of the only frfr
@@papagucheYES.😅
I gotta say a big THANK YOU to Santana Hanna from Savanna for stepping up to the brits and representing the south the way a real southerner should! Thank you very much darlin!
She’s a superstar
Weird comment
I just found your channel. Very much appreciate your open minds and willingness to taste unknown food. You are SO enthusiastic about it! It says a great deal for your upbringings that you are so open to new experiences! Good on you!
Santana Hannah is a great rep for the south. What a great lady!
Being from Savannah, I really appreciate y’all going to an actually good local spot and not some fake tourist money grab. Sweet Potatoes is a known classic among locals.
Same! From sav and that’s what I was thinking.
I’m not from Savannah; not even from Georgia; but being from South Carolina, this video filled me with so much nostalgia and love. It’s so great to see someone from another country come and genuinely appreciate our food and culture.
Savannah GA?
@@elbello1975 Yes.
om gosh, I'm watching this, enjoying this way more than I should, only to suddenly realize its a fasting day! 😅
The food looks amazing but honestly Miss Santana stole my attention. As a socially awkward introvert, seeing her working the crowd is really what I wish I could do. I’m half convinced that by just listening to her saying “It’s okay” can cure my depression 😭
What an awesome lady. I live half across the world from the US and I feel like going to Sweet Potatoes because of her 😂😂
I wld love to see you, when you decide it’s good for you!
Come on over! We'd love to have ya! 😊
I've met a lady like her, because of my social anxiety I mostly just nodded!!
@@santana0511you’re amazing. Keep up the good work!
You'd love it here in the south if you liked her.
"fix your face" lol that is the best southern saying she could have used lol so genuine, even though she doesn't like the pudding either lol
Love the energy and vibe between these two.
Thats what you call a veteran waitress. So smooth. Makes it look so easy. Delivers an enjoyable experience that adds to the whole restaurant. I love when i get a waitress this good.
Definitely a waitress who gets a 100% tip.
@@jakej2680you betcha, these the type of people getting tipped with $100’s
The way Ducky said “it’s gravy” when Josh thought it was cheese has me seriously cracking up!! 🤣 Oh Ducky… I see the struggle is real lol
Josh seems a bit dim when it comes to food lol
@@tommybradly3735 Right? Like, for being married to an amazing chef he's 99% enthusiasm and 1% knowledge
But it's milk gravy, no?
@@thomashernandez8700 Yep, but they'd already had it once at that point. Brits are weird about gravy. It can only be brown and the consistency is based on class.
To be fair, white gravy is a totally foreign idea to the Brits. Imagine what they would think when they go up to the Northeast and find out that gravy is Italian-American tomato sauce.
Santana is such a delight fr , its crazy good that we get to meet people and eat the food that just completes the homely feel , its great!
I just went to Sweet Potato a few days ago while on holiday. I could only get takeout before I had to get on the road but I got the Banana Pudding and the Sweet Potato with the pecan butter, MY GOD IT WAS SO GOOD
After 8 refills on his iced tea, Josh flew home... like a hummingbird.
YOU have to tell them to stop. Know your limits.
I was gonna say he needed a shot of insulin to bring down that sugar blood he’s getting. 😂
I’m happy they have Ducky with them on this trip so they can get the American insight when they ask “is this a thing?”
And he deserves a big raise for not calling them out on everything they get wrong 😂
I was thinking the same thing as soon as they asked if the country gravy was cheese sauce LOL. I was so glad there was someone there to clarify things.
They definitely need an American with them when they try American food. Can’t have a repeat of the Superbowl foods they tried
It's nice to see this age-group enjoying life instead of being perpetually offended! I loved that!
I liked that too. They are gushing about all the cheese and Ducky was just low key, "that's gravy".... 😊
You two are hilarious. Your facial expressions are so genuine and now you got a new follower...
I just came across you two! Love your enthusiasm and fearlessness in trying new foods.
Santana out-punned Ollie with that maize joke! 😂 She is a delight. Way to rep southern hospitality!
I personally thought Ollie got her joke when he also said Ah-maize-ing then he had to ask how southerners would say it 🤣🤣🤣
"What's crazy is they are using the same ingredients we do in the U.K. yet the flavors are completely revolutionary".. As a foodie and history buff this tickled me a bit 😂👌
Of course, you make these things in the U.K. Most everyone does, but the difference is how you make it and what you season it with; that is what makes it so amazing. Don't knock it till you try it. I was born in Kentucky U.S. and moved to Michigan U. S. People even in Michigan comment on my southern cooking and hospitality. If you come to my house (as a southern born person) I will feed you, and welcome you with a warm hug. I know in the U.K. there are wonderful unique dishes you prepare that most people can only get in the U.K. (traditional dishes). So please appreciate all countries for their exceptional delectable foods each has to offer. Enjoy
i guess it s all the artificial flavorings, taste n texture enhancers, transfats, sugars, that are no longer allowed in Europe that gives the hearty flavor! 🤣 I m dead serious. The most unhealthy always tastes best in my experience, and i say this as a (junk food) vegan! I m 100 % sure I d blow up like a balloon if I lived in the South of the U.S. or a longer period for I m sure there s vegan soulfood out there as well and i d eat myself into obesity! 🤣🤣
came here to say the same thing, lol. 'revolutionary' lol
Revolutionary? Ironic much?
For some reason I read this in a bri’ish accent.
Jolly: that's a huge sweet potato!
Every southerner: Bless your heart you sweet summer child.
Truth! 🤣🤣👆🏻
Yeah that's a small one!
I'm from the north and our sweet potatoes are also much bigger than that usually LOL...maybe in the UK they only have the small kind?
Honestly as a Brit I thought that was an odd comment - it looked at best like an average sized sweet potato
@@caras4766 I was gonna say! I regularly get loose sweet potatoes from the supermarket and some of them are bigger than my fist and I've got man hands 😂
Best server ever. I'd hire her in a hot second and tip big for that high level of Southern hospitality.
Y'all are living the dream. It's awesome to see two individuals that are so open to food from other cultures. Still hoping you guys visit Colorado or New England!
You guys have endeared yourselves to Southerners forever. Kudos to Santana for representing the friendliness and hospitality of the South so well.
truly
Agreed! I love their reviews of food from other countries, but when I saw they were doing Southern food I was instantly worried and protective. So many UA-camrs don't get it right, but they did wonderful. I'm so happy they enjoyed it.
Santana is a pure gem! She is so good at embodying the image of Southern hospitality
I appreciate tht!
@santana0511 wow now I want to go!
Yeah, she’s great. I’m way over here in Oregon, but I think she’s awesome. ☺🤘🤘
As a European, we find a lot of the friendliness fake, or overdone. Southern hospitality is a whole different beast, though. I love it. Gotta watch out with "honey", that can mean different things. These are the things I miss most from when I lived in the US: southern hospitality and southern home cooking. You can really only get it there. And look at that setting! I'd eat there every day.
gettin into these rn n i love how appreciative and excited yall r to try so many new things !
I love Ollie’s honesty!!!!
Santanas ah-maize-ing pun was top tier. Love her
I could tell by the guys face that he didn't get it!!!
I thought that joke was corny
If they were Irish they would have gotten that joke… Oooooooh! If you know you know 😏
Every server should study this lady. She was phenomenal. 10/10
Thanks for this huge compliment!
No share plates, leaning on the table, "secret ingredients" aren't a thing (servers should know everything because allergies) and didn't know what grits are...WTAF?!? How do you not know what grits are!?! Sure, I'll show my team how much details matter in service & how not to make these errors.
@@namehere4954
If you go around and ask people born and raised in the South, most have no clue grits are made from corn. They just know that grits taste good and that's all they care to know.
@@robertalexander5892 if you are in a professional capacity to serve food, you know what you're serving. It's literally your job to know what's on the plate and sell it to people.
@@namehere4954 I recon in most of those dishes the "secret" ingredient is butter ... lots of it ;)
That patio looks so comfortable to eat with the trees in the background. Great spot
after watching you guys for so long, and you guys introducing me to korea and getting me into learning the language and eventually traveling there... it just makes me so happy to see you in my part of the world.
As a southerner, it’s nice to see folks genuinely enjoy our cooking, and also appreciate our hospitality. So many people work overtime to make fun of the people who live here, but these chaps seem to genuinely appreciate that this is kind of a nice place to be, and the locals generally bend over backwards to make them feel welcome.
Right despite what the media tells them America is not a complete active 2012 COD lobby
The boys have to get into some Carolfina barbecue. It is coronary-squeezing good!
as someone from a southern family who was raised their whole life further up north, southern cooking is truly a special American innovation. It's not fancy, Gordon Ramsey isn't going to rave about it, but it is America in a lot of ways and I think it's great food to show people who are in America for their first time, because it's damn delicious.
I'm from the south, stayed in another state for some months and I could tell them difference. Southern hospitality is a thing, I took it for granted at first
@@KAR1492 Gordon Ramsay has definitely raved over some good southern cookin you should look it up
I love that Ducky is the true straight man in this series. He's the cool, calm and collected to Josh's childlike wonder and Ollie's childlike mania.
"That's gravy." needs to be his catchphrase, I can see it on a t-shirt now
Glad they enjoyed the food and the hospitality of Santana Hannah. They ate more food than I eat over a two week period.
I have been making collard greens for 35+ years, and NEVER have I EVER made them with lemons. EVER and I'm personally offended. Lol jk about being offended, but I mean the rest of it. My collards are AMAZING and nowhere near bitter. And I LOVE Savannah!!!
I don't like bitter collards. I wonder if they left out the pinch of sugar?
Absolutely love this. She was an amazing waitress. Her joke with the grits saying "isn't it aMAZEing" went over their heads but I laughed so hard.
Sorry about this, but- - it's MaIze!
Therefore it's 'a-maizing!'
She didn't know what grits were though :(
@@captainsalty5688 Tbf I’m a Texan and I didn’t know what they were either 😂
@@MinorKey135 I thought it was like a savory oatmeal or something bc I've never tried it
I thought she was referring to corn mazes lol
i love how they're enjoying the southern hospitality
This made me feel so warm! Thank you!
EVERY restaurant owner needs to see this to understand how a happy waitstaff can MAKE or BREAK you. Santana was awesome. I'm up North, If I head South, guess where I want to eat at?
Easily possible by not having them depend on tips
@@ALASTOR101. Well, bless your heart. Please, be a dear and do some research before you compare the United States to your, or any other, country, especially in Europe.
@@hadmatter9240 Im Texan, having to make ends meet from customers' generosity instead of your employers is demeaning
@@ALASTOR101. not always, i work in a chain barista shop with hundreds of customers in a small shift but because i have a really great boss/managers, i love my job as well as the rest of my coworkers. The job doesn't pay much but many have been there for years and just work 2 jobs. We all work together and have good attitudes/share tips. This is all in california too. I really do believe happy workers change the establishment's environment. Our customers compliment our workers and establishment, saying we are the best chain they've been at lol.
@jackrobinson8557 You don't sound like you're American, so I'll cut you some slack due to cultural differences. I know that tips are not the norm in European countries, and understandably so because the restaurant owner is probably responsible for paying all their workers' wages, but in the U.S. it is the other way around as many restaurateurs don't pay their staff a living wage. Therefore, the wait staff is left at the mercy of patrons, many of which are not proper tippers, no matter how great the wait staff is. This is why some restaurants have imposed a built-in 18% gratuity (tip) for staff, which is split between the wait staff and the personnel in the kitchen. In a perfect world, tips wouldn't be necessary, but here in America, they're a necessary evil.
As a Texan I live on collard greens.. not just collard greens but for the most part yes. I realized after watching this video that I take the culture I was born into for granted.
My mom made a bitters course in every dinner every day of the year;
collards, mustard, turnip, etc...
There are many nutrients in bitters not in other foods. I grew up on the Cherokee Nation east of Broken Arrow, OK. My mom would send me to the woods to forage for collards, poke, sassafras, wild onions, hazel nuts, native pecans and tiny cherries about the size of a pea, wild plums, wild grapes, wild blackberries and dewberries. There were pear trees everywhere with hundreds of great pesrs on each one.
Ollie accidentally entered the EXTREMELY heated heated pecan pronunciation debate.
Yep. This woman pronounces it right though. I've got some weirdos in my family who pronounce it "pee-CAN". I don't talk to them anymore though. Maybe they'll learn their lesson.
@@tylarjackson7928😂😂😂 hilarious! love it!
😂😂😂😂
@@tylarjackson7928It's peh-kawn
@@tylarjackson7928 I mean, ya'll say Pekkin wrong anyway
I appreciate these videos because sometimes you forget just how alarmingly British they really are
I'm an American, but I would say "charmingly" British. They have hosted me graciously on many occasions, and I'm glad they're enjoying their food experiences here in the US.
Alarmingly?
The service was genuinely good.
Santana just stole the show for me! She has such a delightful, lovely character. I just love how she told Ducky to put down the camera and eat..love the comfortable, friendly, at home kind of vibe..If I were to visit US anytime soon then I know where my first stop will be!
It's a good choice. These kinds of truly genuine places are rare but such a wonderful find.
As a person burn and raised in the south when she told him to put down the camera I thought that was a very southern thing to say. Because in the south food is very important. We do not mess around with meals 😂
I am from the Northwest US but I can tell you Southerners are just the best people on Earth, they are the nicest, kindest most helpful people you will ever meet and they will feed you until you pop.
I love how they were shocked by the free refills. I remember being in Spain and I couldn't convince my friends that refills were free in most US restaurants. They refused to believe it "How can they make money?" LOL
I'm shocked too at how she just kept refilling their drinks! Our restaurants here in Singapore if they do offer free refills, either you go go refill it yourself or you have to call the waiter over and ask for a refill. It's not an automatic thing even if they state "free flow" in the menu. Unless it's like a really really upscale high class restaurant.
Tea is incredibly inexpensive in the US. It's not a money maker.
@@AuspexAO Not sure what you mean. All drink refills except alcohol are free at most restaurants in the US. It wasn't free refills because it was tea. Soda and most drinks cost less than 10 cents per cup. The to-go cup cost more than the "drink".
@@Miyawakisswaitress voluntarily gives refills for good/bigger tips
Good service means better chance to get more tips
They got paid nickels and live on tips
Being lazy and unfriendly hurt the business more than it hurts the waitress bec places known for bad service are avoided bec they'll put us in a bad mood while eating & socializing there
You're right. I studied in Spain in late '07, and when one of my friends ordered a Coke, the waiter brought her a 20z can of Coke with a cold glass that had been in the freezer. If you wanted a refill, then you had to buy a second can. (And don't even think of asking for a box if you don't finish your meal. Of course, their portion sizes were smaller than ours, so most of the time you typically didn't need one anyway.)
Ive been seeing clips from you guys for a long time, but my sister just told me about this video from my city and even a restaurant ive loved, so i HAD to watch. Southern restaurants are great.
