The GLOW on the chef's face all swelled with pride in his work as he went over everything his kitchen cooked was an utter delight to behold. I don't think I've ever been envious of a restaurant patron before (especially as I don't have Joel's tummy) but goodness, I'm so happy for Joel in getting to experience this. 😀
After watching some of your videos similarly titled, "all you can eat - I get cut off" and then this video, they are poles apart! This owner is awesome, he knew that the publicity would be great for his business. It shows just how good a restaurant is when they don't even have to put up a sign outside, advertising what they are. I'm impressed.
Joel, Its those hole in the wall places that generally serves up some of the best surprises and catches you off guard with a flavor in their foods that will keep you coming back and telling your friends and it helps build up your business. I loved the look on the guys face when he realized you did food comps and you were eatting in his business. I like videos like this and so happy I got to see one. The food looked amazing and the flavors you described sounded delicious.
That chef n owner seemed like super cool dudes . Owner was definitely stoked to see you there and just wanted to impress you. That's a crazy amount of food though. Looks delicious.
Kudos to the restaurant owner for choosing a low key "hole in the wall" approach by setting up his establishment in a place no one expect would have great food ....and then smashing boundaries for bringing out the red carpet in fine cuisine This is a great example of "Do not judge a book by it's cover" because even the flashiest of restaurants can fall short of what someone can accomplish with far less in glitz an glamor
The owner of this establishment is a great business man knowing that you have a huge following will get many patrons to come experience what looked to me like amazing food, great hospitality and warm environment!
Dear Joel, After seeing you with Randy, I have watched every one of your videos over the past year. This is by far is the best! And will remain my favorite for a long time to come. That guy saying "do I know you? Do I know you? THEN "your that guy Your that guy"!! Then telling you, you are going to eat my kitchen. That is priceless. And man oh man that feast! The chef telling you all about it. And your descriptions with each bite. Joel, this episode not only hit on all 6's, it was the bee's knees.
It is nothing less than excellent that you are giving these incredible chefs an opportunity to show their food to the world. A free meal is a small price to pay for such incredible advertising. Good job bud.
Hey Joel, this is one savvy businessman, for the price of whatever that food you ate cost, he just saved himself thousands and thousands of dollars in advertising. Way to go dude, great job once again. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
You have the life man and it’s inspirational to see how humble and kind you are everywhere you go. You always seem to make an impression and that takes a special kind of person. Keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy the ride, we’re all here to watch and support you Joel.
If the owner of this resturant sees this. Bravo... This was amazing advertising. Looked so delicious and the chef had passion about what he makes. Love love love it.
This video was a bit different from your normal format and I absolutely loved it. My 7 year old daughter and I watch at least 1 video of yours every day and she also loved this one and asked if we can go to this restaurant! I said absolutely if we ever are in the area! Thanks for your family friendly and incredibly entertaining content Joel!
I loved the restaurant owner's 'this is not a drill' response when he clocked who you were! 😂 So much for your light lunch! The food looked absolutely amazing, I wish them every success.
I would literally come from Southern Brasil, the meat capital of the world, to eat this food as it looked amazing with flair from all over LATAM and the owner and his people are what should be running a restaurant. Congrats to the restaurant and everyone that makes it what it is . . . Respect.
It's awesome to see you enjoying yourself and trying restaurants like these without it even being a challenge where you are timed. I can get used to seeing you do these types of videos as well definitely a treat to see your reviews and giving owners feedback on the food and it's quality go Joel.
The chef looked so proud of himself and so he should be. So much yummy looking food and you make it look more yummy joel. Well done joel and it was very gracious of you to eat what you was given. ❤❤
Some of the best restaurants I've ever tried looked suspect AF from outside, and some had few to no customers, but the food was AMAZING!!! I love trying smaller, less known spots. When people in my area hype up a business, it normally tastes like trash. People who try food from all over and know how to cook, know when food is good 👍
Oh man. I texted my son who is in Florida to stop and tell his friends. So good. I'm salivating. I love everything about this video, the owner and the chef ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Everything looked great and well presented. Props to the Chef and the owner for setting you up with an unexpected feast. I hope this helps get some fresh business. I know I would check it out if I was in the area.
I just recently started following and I saw about 20-25 videos so far, and I was so pleased to see a restaurant owner so happy to see Joel! This is guy is UNDISPUTED. I enjoy watching your videos….
Loved this video!!! The owner was so incredibly excited and happy to see you. I am glad you went in and had a great meal. They really hooked you up.... but you could see the passion for food... that was love on that table...
We should all go to Mu's whenever we go there and give them some publicity and eat the great dishes they made for Joel! They look so good! The owner and the chef are very PROUD of their food!
You have become extremely POPULAR, YOU JOEL ARE A NATIONAL TREASURE, , keep goin each and every day i got to see you and your videos, how many videos can we watch of you in 24 hours???, 25 of them , thanks joel for being so cool in what you do, born with a great nature to you, yes sir
Another SMART Business. These restaurants that lean into Joel's meal are getting what partially equates to a 20+ minute ad that millions end up seeing. That's a really good deal in the business world.
Love it Joel and I love Wham and you have great taste in music as well and I'm a huge admirer of yours, so please no more challenges with another person when you can knock it out of the ball park yourself...it just brings it down the entire video and brings down your talent which is amazing!
Found this channel within the last couple weeks, and have to say just love all the videos seen to date. This was my favourite one yet, love your decriptions and facial expressions. God bless your tummy and stay blessed Joel.
This place looks AMAZING!!!! Did I miss where they said it was located??? That place looks like one of the best I have seen!!! I thought it looked fine on the outside! The chef is obviously super talented and the owner was awesome! How fun!!
As a former restaurant owner I’m glad to see these guys doing it right and treating a VIP like a VIP. With a less than optimal location and lack of signage and street appeal the food inside better be damn good…..and by all accounts it was…..the food look inspired and done with a creative flair. There was definitely pride and love shown by the owner and chef. I hope these young restaurant owners make it as we need more people like them in our industry. Great video Joel😬👍
That's how a business owner should act.....This will generate business from locals to go there who never would have,even people from out of state! Hell,I would love to go check it out!
That food looks AMAZING! Wow 😮. That’s more food than I eat in a month. Your famous now . Your the Food guy! Lol very very nice. The owner is super cool and I would definitely come and eat here. They took care of you for sure.
Amazing! I have been following your channel for years! It's nice to see you in my backyard reviewing restaurants I have been looking for. Great job and Happy new year
WOW! My favorite episode yet. The hospitality of the owner/chef was as incredible as the presentation of the food. Joel made me feel as if I was there enjoying the food with him. On my way...Las Vegas -----------------------> MU, Kissimmee (Orlando) Florida!
Less of the challenges and timers and more relaxed eating … are you mad 😂 this was a promo for the restaurant so he got all the food on the menu for free surely or a heavy discount , it would cost a fortune if he turned up and ordered the menu every time 😂 his challenges equate to free usually or win money and since it’s a challenge you hear about all the fails which gives the scale of what he eating
Your performance as a food critic is excellent .Watching you discuss these food is most satisfying. Keep these excellent videos coming ....Your respectful fan
You are honestly such an amazing man! To have gone in here and had your plans chaged so quickly and drastically and still see that this was all a good thing and good people and good food. Even if you were slightly frusterated you were still kind and went with the floe and thats so beautiful.😍 all the food looked amazing too so thats h3lp3d im sure lol
Good grief are you that naïve? This was a set up, they knew he was coming and expected him...that food would have taken a long time to prepare! Free food in exchange for advertising, it's a win win!!!
You know what i think people miss is your knowlage of food and its flavours you describe them so well i can taste it keep it up thanks for the entertainment as always no1 fan
Wow all the food looks amazing! Love how the Chef just blessed him with almost the whole menu. I may have to go check it out if I ever make it out there.
That's the one thing that scares me with places competition eaters visit. Joel and other eaters give restaurants a huge promotion in return they entertain us with their enormous appetite. Thanks to Joel I regained my appetite. I pray that restaurants put out their best food and we all can enjoy Joel's experience without him being poisoned. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
One hand washes the other 💗This is how you help a business get recognized and The business Will or Should 🙏🏾do the same in return. I wouldn't have paid attention to that establishment while pumping gas🤷🏾♀️🙌🏾
You see Joel, this what happens when (a nice Canadian boy), me too, gives honest reviews and even if the food could have been better, you still brag the place up. That is why people love you. Have a very Happy New Year!
I watch all your videos. But wow, that food looked so good. If I could I would definitely go there. That food just looks amazing. And the hospitality looks top notch. Nice video
Smart owner! He’s a great performer too! If I lived anywhere near there, I’d be calling for a reservation! Those skewers would likely feed a huge family! They looked delicious!
WHAT IS BETTER, CHRISTMAS OR NEW YEARS?!
BTW, Should we have a New Years Special :O?
go to a palestine restaurant
New years!!!! And DUH we need a new years special!!!
New Years special 😊 please.
& New Year is better🎉
Yes to special!!! Christmas

what looks good?
You can really tell the Head Chef truly really loves cooking and wants to spread his passion for food and good people
That food looked amazing!
The owner knew EXACTLY what he was doing. This looks amazing, I want to go there now! WOW!
So did joel......
Is this an actual competition? Or this this just for Joel?
Smart move...I'm going there too
Gotta love when a place is confident in their food and backs it up.

This is how it should be. If you have a great restaurant, let the competitive eater come in and advertise your whole menu! The food looks awesome!!
Compliments to the staff @ MU RESTAURANT & GRILL in Orlando, Florida for their fabulous food and hospitality !
That spot is a go-to for me next time I'm in South Fla. For real. Their menu is like cosmopolitan and quite high-end. Amazing.
They were so hospitable. It was lovely to see how proud and honoured they were to have you there. What an amazing restaurant!
This is awesome I love when people recognize good people its the best of advertising and care for someone they watch.
The Chef was so proud to share his food with you.. Very cool..
Hey Joel, this is one savvy businessman, for the price of whatever that food you ate cost, he just saved himself thousands and thousands of dollars in advertising. Way to go dude, great job once again. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Most savvy business men would, at minimum, have a sign in front of his business
so true
That’s true
Thats just part of the mistique, a place like this doesnt need help getting business word of mouth handles that
The staff there is super cool. That was some red carpet treatment for Joel. That restaurant deserves all the best
Pretty amazing and inspiring to see all of them taking so much pride and ownership of their restaurant and food.
Love the kindness of the host . The quality puts it over the top. 🎉
You have the life man and it’s inspirational to see how humble and kind you are everywhere you go. You always seem to make an impression and that takes a special kind of person. Keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy the ride, we’re all here to watch and support you Joel.

Damn smart restaurant owner setting you up ! OMG! Everything looks AMAZING! Rock on Joel!! 🍻

This is probably best presentation of foodies I've seen on this channel. My mind was actually blown away. I know that food was ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
The man can honestly kick out some food. So nice and friendly ❤❤❤❤❤
thanks for watching
The chef looked so proud of himself and so he should be. So much yummy looking food and you make it look more yummy joel. Well done joel and it was very gracious of you to eat what you was given. ❤❤
You can hear the staff throughout the video just loving the fact he is there. Feigned promo? Don't care, I wanna give this restaurant a shot!
i loved the authenticness of this place, humble but presented beautifully
Your eyes are almost as pretty as his. Lol
What a beautiful presentation and the dishes themselves look absolutely lovely..much love indeed.. respect
thanks for watching

Joel, that was my favorite episode, the food looked amazing and loved the interaction with the restaurant people!
If I'm ever unfortunate enough to find myself back in florida, this will soften the blow of being there for sure. What a gem.
Joel continues to push the boundaries of how much food a human can eat in one sitting
thanks for watching
Oh man. I texted my son who is in Florida to stop and tell his friends. So good. I'm salivating. I love everything about this video, the owner and the chef ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is amazing! I hope they get much busier than this later!
I really love this! ❤😂
True meaning of “don’t judge a book by its cover!”
thanks for watching
What an awesome restaurant! Smart to have Joel devour your entire menu - he’s got a sophisticated palate and he’s a food connoisseur!
Yes Joel,
You definitely couldn't leave without trying no Deserts 🍰 I love the different food's your have taste. All Looks so delicious.
Thanks so much!
Everything looked great and well presented. Props to the Chef and the owner for setting you up with an unexpected feast. I hope this helps get some fresh business. I know I would check it out if I was in the area.
Unexpected? Surely you're not that naïve?
At least Joel calls ahead of time to ask restaurants for challenges for free…letting his channel do the work for views he’s smart.
I just recently started following and I saw about 20-25 videos so far, and I was so pleased to see a restaurant owner so happy to see Joel! This is guy is UNDISPUTED. I enjoy watching your videos….

Now that is how all restaurants should treat you! :) They get it. Food looked incredible.

Looked super tasty and love that you had to have the bit of pineapple at the end. You totally sold this place ❤

What an experience! All of it looked so wonderful! The burger looked like it would have been the best I've had. YUMMY!!
thanks for watching
The joy and surprise on your face while eating the burger and ice cream were awesome to behold You sold that place better than any ad could have done.
The first time I've seen Joel defeated by food. It's still a great watch.😊
How fun is this. I loved this.

*Joel, you should consider doing a series where you consume gargantuan amounts of food from truck stop & gas station restaurants.*
I'd rather see Joel sample the foods from food trucks, truck stops and gas station restaurants.
The staff were beaming with pride over their product and you can tell they serve up plates full of love there.
So much food Joel but you make it look and sound so easy and pleasant. Its a pleasure to watch you and your positivity.
All of the food looked delicious I'm so glad you enjoyed and relaxed a little Thanks for Supporting them. Happy Blessed Holidays to you and yours
I’d love to see Joel and Beard team up one day - I don’t know what would happen!!!!
They have collabed before!
They did do a challenge together. I want to say it was steak.
That food looks amazing and the owner looks all class. Well spoken proper old school hospitality!
I swear you could eat all that lol. All the food looked pretty delish.
One hand washes the other 💗This is how you help a business get recognized and The business Will or Should 🙏🏾do the same in return. I wouldn't have paid attention to that establishment while pumping gas🤷🏾♀️🙌🏾
That food looked amazing! Definition of don't judge a book by its cover!

I love these eat the menu vids. ❤
That's a Chef who understands free promotion. The food did look good. The chef seemed very proud of his food and rightly so.
I love how Joel has become a food expert.
It all looks delicious!
I watch all your videos. But wow, that food looked so good. If I could I would definitely go there. That food just looks amazing. And the hospitality looks top notch. Nice video
Joel should've definitely made this an official challenge with the countdown on! Those meat skewers would be the end of joel lol too much food
Amazing foods in front of you there, Joel. The chef is an excellent cook for sure, you were so lucky to have dined there.
I've heard of the hidden menu but a hidden restaurant?☺️
lolol
Smart owner! He’s a great performer too! If I lived anywhere near there, I’d be calling for a reservation! Those skewers would likely feed a huge family! They looked delicious!
