@@pizza_lovers TBF, it's probably better than BBQ is in most other places. It's very much mid tier for the area though. It's a fantastic location though in Driftwood, Tx. There are much better places to get BBQ in Austin. My favorite is Stile's Switch and Rudy's. Now people will balk at Rudy's because "iTs a ChAiN" but it's good consistent bbq.
@@gingerman5123 i cant wait to get out to Texas for some bbq some time. i grew up in north jersey so we got pretty solid everything and great italian food but nothing out here compares to the bbq i had in memphis. cant wait to see what texas has
Yeah as a native texan you went to ALL the perfect places. Whoever planned these videos deserves a raise because they went above and beyond for their research
As a Texan, you did us proud. There is nothing misrepresented in this series. You went to all the Texas things, got the proper hat, ate THE best BBQ, and rocked up at the Rodeo. Standing ovation! Ya'll come back now!
We live in Houston and just went to Taste of Texas last night to celebrate our daughter's college graduation. Fully agree that the pecan pie with the Bluebell cinnamon ice cream might just be the best dessert ever. Everything was indeed amazing. Found Jolly just a few weeks ago, so the serendipity of coming across this today was so fun. My students beg me to show one of your videos when we have an extra few minutes or an inside lunch. Thanks for uplift to the day!
That's so cool you and your students can bond over stuff like that, really brings your class together I bet! I hope you enjoy the new school year safe and sound!
I am the Ducky of my family. I clean the bones and get made fun of for it. Even cold some people just don't understand the amazing flavor. Ducky is my hero.
They need more red wine though. There are even some good wines from the Brazos Valley derived from both Spanish and Swabian traditions made near Houston.
As so many have said before, good on whoever put this trip together for y'all. The Taste of Texas is legitimately one of the best steakhouses I've ever been to and I am glad that you got to experience it. Cheers, boys.
It SEEMS like a great idea. Between southern soul food, BBQ, and Mexican food someone could open a dozen restaurants and make a fuckin' killing. I have to assume that the reason nobody has done that yet is that the ingredients to make real authentic versions of those foods must be hard to source in the UK. Because let's face it, making authentic BBQ isn't exactly rocket science. It takes time and it takes attention to detail but there's nothing stopping people in the UK from doing it. It's not the Texas air that makes our brisket so good, it's ingredients and it's technique. Technique can be learned. So that leave ingredients. That's my hypothesis right now, it must be an ingredients issue.
@@chriswhinery925 that combined with the brits actually loving "bland/er" foods... idk tho there have been episodes where they went to this BBQ restaurant in the UK opened by an american guy from some BBQ state... they said the food was good but i remember 2 times they went in on diff episodes and it was empty both times. i think the brits dont stuff their faces and are perfectly okay with paying more money for less food if to them they enjoyed the meal, got a decent deal, or also the healthy difference in our cultures. i think brits just feel like if they go to an "american" restaurant it will cost more there maybe because we just eat more food so it must cost the same for more food concept. could be the "southern cuisine" is just throw a stick of butter on everything and to the brits they just dont like it idk... theres also like the whole city vs outskirts ppl vibe like city ppl want think fast they want meals quick cheap on the go they probably cook to save money etc... and the more rural ppl like what they like and are super like we eat bangers and mash type so in theory opening up a restaurant would "kill" but i feel like it just never works out in reality... otherwise you would see it i guess, i mean mcdonalds really is the king of "adaptibiliy" while remaining true to its core and almost the same worldwide and EVERYONE loves and knows it lol
Love the T-shirt! Could you name the restaurant (and city) featured in this episode in the description for those of us who might want to visit it if we're ever in the area? Thanks! 🥰
I love well how these guys show American food culture. I feel like a large amount of people believe we have no food culture and just poorly copy other cultures, but that’s just not the case. Yes, we have Italian, Chinese, Latin food, etc. but it has been adjusted to American culture to be its own thing, and that’s what a lot of people miss. Plus we have barbecue and big steaks🤤
@@TheWhipsnap yes! I’m from North Carolina, and it has its own barbecue culture that differs significantly from every other southern state. And my mom lived in Louisiana for a long time and learned to cook there, so I got to eat a lot of Cajun food. Each state is like it’s own country really.
As a native Texan, I can sat Ducky is 100% eating it correctly. You paid for the whole steak you’re getting the whole steak, gosh darn it!! No waste on that bone!
The fact that Pecan pie is your favorite dessert, and it's the state pie of Texas is very fitting. I love in the background music was singing hallelujah while you were eating it LOL
Cinnamon ice cream is great. Blackberry ice cream is great. Publix used to make a premium deep dish apple pie ice cream. It was amazing. It had little chunks of pie crust in there. It was silly good.
If you go to the restaurant, make sure you walk around, they did not touch on all the actual historical Texas artifacts that are displayed around the restaurant!
Taste of Texas is literally right outside of my house. The owner is the best. She did a field trips for all the elementary kids to her restaurant. Glad y’all enjoyed.
When they did our field trip some 20years ago, they did a little trick and made it rain in the walk in cooler 😂. I hope they still do that for the kids. Was neat seeing and actual cloud just start to rain, in a freezer
@@FecalMatador oh yeah, she would lock half the kids in the cooler and turn the lights off then ask the other half if they wanted to hear they’re friends scream… We thought it was the funniest thing ever as 9 year olds 😂
After watching this episode month ago, and living 25 miles down the road, the wife and I went tonight for dinner. It was worth every penny I paid. Had a 14oz prime rib and potatoes au gratin, blown away by the flavor and quality of everything, food, service, atmosphere, everything was top notch
I lived in Texas for 17 years- I'm so glad you found some of the gems of the state's culinary specialties. :) Back in the Midwest (near Chicago) for 20 years, and I still crave Hill Country BBQ. Nothing like it. I also love pecan pie (p'khan). That looked amazing.
Josh could so totally be a movie double for Jim Carey, he even has his smile!! I just love these guys, so fun watching them, especially with the school age kids trying American food for the first time! I am addicted to their channel, so much fun, thank you two!!!
I have theory that I hold true to my heart as fact: butter goes with everything, no dish or food would be corrupted by butter. Truffle, honey, mustard, bbq, mint, rose petals, salt, pepper in all its variations cayenne, black ect, parsley, bakon bits, nuts, hot sauce, lemon, all make great butter additives, herbs, seeds, meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, fungi - sweet, salty, sour/acidic, hot/spicy, umami, IT DOESNT MATTER! And the foods, seriously name one dish, other than maybe some baked goods that wouldn't rise, with butter added. Despite the fact butter is one of the main ingredients in most baking recipes its just maybe adding too much of a good thing is a bad thing, as is the case with all of the things. Hell even drinks could get some butter. Im going to cream my next cup of coffee with melted salted butter. It makes so much sense I dont know why I havent tried it yet. Coffee, salted, is an immediate upgrade and cream/dairy is a staple of its accompaniments, so why not try a more fattier source of dairy/cream especially if its on a particularly acidic roast/blend. Its a no brainer.
As a Texan, I just keep coming back time and again to this content wherein you explore the South, and this is just a drop in the bucket, so it’s with utmost sincerity that I say: *Y’all come back, now, y’hear?*
Of course we don’t a steak that big all in one sitting. We take home the other half and save or the next morning to fry up with some over medium eggs. The best breakfast!🥰
@@ZyklonBeast12 Exactly. The tomahawk is bone thickness (2 inches). The cowboy looks like an inch and a third. Faster to cook, but you can't get the same maillard crust without going medium or medium well. I'm gobbling it down. And by all means, use the butter on top. Definitely.
I lived in Texas for forty years, before becoming disabled and having to move back East. I can say these things: Everything really IS big in Texas, the food, ESPECIALLY Barbecue and Tex-Mex, is FANTASTIC, the people are largely VERY big-hearted and friendly, and there's no place else quite like Whataburger. Oh, and even if you're not a country boy/girl at heart, the big rodeos are STILL a lot of fun. If you fellas go back to Texas some day, you should Jolly well go to the Texas State Fair in Dallas, attend the associated Grambling football game (ABSOLUTELY worth attending for the bands' halftime show alone), and be sure to visit Dallas's downtown Dallas World Aquarium and suburban Addison's Cavanaugh Flight Museum, including flight worthy examples of the Kittyhawk and Martlet fighter planes you Brits got from us in WWII via Lend-Lease and an example of the Heinkel He-111 that would have understandably terrorized your grandparents by dropping bombs on Ye Olde London. I promise, Dallas is absolutely worth a visit in its own right, and there's a LOT more to do than I even touched on.
I was born and raised in Texas and I never realized all the things so close to me were not as readily available in much of the country it was a true shock to the system.
Texas truly is quite a place like none other. This is probably the most texas comment I have seen. I have lived at one point in time on the west coast east coast and Texas. Truthfully, of all my years in Texas it is the grandest in every sense of the word. I recently went to the Alamo (again), after not having been since I was a child. The heroism that was shown there I think truly embodies texas in everything Texans do. Heart and soul belongs in everything, from the great food, to the air shows, and more. Thanks for reminding me about all the things Texas, and Texans stand for. I wish you well!
I am proud of you guys! Through all of your food journeys, neither of you had a heart attack! Never be afraid of food, and never say you dont like it until you have tried it at least twice.
God I love these guys! Hilarious, but also so kind to the people and customs surrounding them. THAT'S the way you vacation in another country! Soak up the culture and foods. Kudos guys!!
All those in favor of Josh and Ollie dragging the Year Nines from their biscuits and gravy video over to the States for a whirlwind taste test tour say Aye.
I’ve found a lot of UK/EU people only “know” about American life from memes and bad reports via news outlets. Never seen one of them come out to the countryside and not have their jaws drop at how free and easy we live. All of the fear about guns, the preconceptions about American crudeness, the idea that we’re primitive… it all washes away when they see how much space there is outside the big cities and how kind the people tend to be.
Because they are going over the top.... acting like they have never seen a tomahawk steak before, I don't understand how they have not seen and tasted most of this stuff in the UK. Think they are doing to appease their US viewers
@@perrysmith1838 I immigrated to USA and live in a large city. Have been to other cities. Perhaps I just don't go to any restaurants that serve this. Seems weird.
I'm a Native Texan and I am pleasantly surprised y'all so enjoyed your trip to my home State. I do take some umbrage at your saying pee can. We say it puhcahn. Pee can is something you took on a trip when your father refused to make restroom stops 😂
@@dude-mu5zx To be fair to you, the difference in dialect in the southern-southern eastern-eastern states varies a lot more then people realize. We're a beautifully diverse, culturally rich country and I respect the face the Texans above you in the chat and you openly share in that. For context and those outsiders curious, im eastern Washington. Peh-cuhn is very commonly stated here. Pee-CAN is very common is seems if you're bordering the ocean side of the state. Eastern WA has a more notable, though still minor contextually, Asiatic and western European population whereas we tend to have more Eastern European/Mexican/South American influences. So I wonder if in our case, our dialogue starting to mix might be a result of that southern movement mixing with some of those crossing from the Pacific learning the language?
MY DUDES! I love that you're featuring my hometown so much. This makes my heart glad. My family goes to Taste of Texas for dinner every Christmas season. They shut down the restaurant for two days just before Thanksgiving and replace all of the Western themed decor (which is considerable - about 2 semi-trailer truckloads) with Christmas-themed decor. It's absolutely delightful.
As someone who has lived in the US their whole life, every video brings me an unusual amount of joy. Seeing these guys reactions to the food I’ve grown up with is genuinely so entertaining. Also as someone who has lived in Texas his whole life, enjoy busy, it’s not this good anywhere else.
You're probably too young to know of this cult classic "Caveman" starring Ringo Starr, Dennis Quaid, and John Matuszak. There's a scene where Ringo's character discovers Marijuana, which gave me the visual you described😅 I swear I'm not a pothead
Good news for you guys on the pecan pie, it's actually quite an easy pie to make at home. You may have to mail order the pecans if you didn't bring some back with you, but the process itself is simple and takes very little time.
Imagine being born and raised in Texas! All this food you two have tried plus even waaaaaaaaaaay more that you haven't at your fingertips whenever you desire it! Yes, we are spoiled!😂
Love Josh’s way to describe food and compliment it at the same time! Welcome to TEXAS! The food is amazing. Josh is always so kind and generous with his appreciation of the food, service and hospitality
I love that y'all came to Texas and tried all the right things. There's LOTS more to experience, but you need more time. Also loved the British kids trying biscuits and gravy!
Another native Texan here. I love watching your videos. It makes me proud that you are enjoying Texan foods, culture, and such. Keep up the great work, and amazing video ideas.
There is loads of good food in the UK, as their international community masters international food :D (I now know why!) Jokes aside, I actually ate some good british food as well in some pubs!)
Thanks for coming to Texas! You've barely scratched the surface of all the great things to eat and do, but you did do some amazing things. So glad I got experience this with you! Cheers!
Welcome to the Republic of Texas! I'm so glad you enjoyed our fantastic, undeniably delishious food and down-home, country style hospitality. You can hang your hat on that! You did us proud! Y'all come back now, ya hear!
You need to definitely revisit this kind of series but bring the fam along. It's fun to see Ollie and Josh react, but I'm wondering if Gabbie is going to down play everything or if Juno just likes everything. It'd be interesting to see you two go on about your "one-time nostalgia" and seeing your fam's first time reactions.
When you guys come back to Texas one day, definitely go to the Czech Stop and Slovacek's in West, Texas! It's a tradition for my and many other families when traveling South on I35.
You missed out on the snickers cheesecake, and the 4 layer chocolate cake tower that has support beams to hold it up. But cant go wrong with ToT! Glad yall stopped by
You guys are amazing and never disappoint. Watching someone eat and experience things we take for granted has been a helluva ride. I wished you guys would have done a segment on the cars and trucks in Texas and got to see what you thought about riding in a crew cab dulley 4x4 truck! Maybe next time you come we could see that! Thanks for the laughs and have a safe trip home!
So...I worked here while I was in college. The food is so good when we go visit Houston multiple times a year we still go eat there. The food is phenomenal every time. I can't promote them enough. So happy you went there!
As a Texan, I loved every moment of your little southern escapades! You only get to live once! Experience what you can, while you can! Y'all come back now, ya hear?!
Being a Texan, and seeing how much y'all have enjoyed yourselves here...makes my heart smile. Next time you come, to the lone star state, you should come to the State Fair😍 God's blessings shower down on you, your families, and your brand continually in abundance 💜☦🕊🥰💖
“That’s not a lazy cow; that’s a cow that spent a lot of time running away from cowboys!” 😆 I’m glad they got some good pies and cheesecake. A good key lime pie is just like Josh described it. The layer of caramel in that pecan pie was just like homemade. I had a tomahawk steak once and it is an incredible experience. The flavor is so rich and it cuts like butter. I got two lunches out of the leftovers so the expense was justified. The bone would be great roasted for the marrow or to make beef stock. So believe them that it was an amazing experience.
Utter insanity how charred on the outside and how pink and juicy on the inside this meat looks. So jealous of these guys just constantly waltzing care-free into meals like this 😅
Why steak restaurants have oven that goes up to like what 800 degree or something so you can get that amazing char on the outside but inside not over cooked.
@@RexZShadow yep, get that super char and then the other thing, and most people and many restaurants don't do, is to then let it just sit and rest for a bit. That helps distribute the moisture and juices inside, and it still cooks up a little (and your steak won't be "cold" from doing that). If doing it at home - cover the steak with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5 to 7 minutes before serving
@@bendalton5221 at home I usually do the reverse sear method. Takes a lot longer but best disturbtion pink I can manage at home. Doing it on stove just too smokey for my apartment. When I get my own place definitely instally nice ass range hood XD
Glad to see people coming over and enjoying our country. There's a lot here and there's quite a variety so I feel like anybody could find an area that they feel at home.
Great video as always! As a native Texan, I need to pass along two things: 1) Y'all need to come back for the State Fair in October. You'll get a real dose of Texas and outrageous fried foods there! 2) The correct pronunciation of pecan is "puh-cahn". It kills me every time I hear someone say "pee-can". 🤣 Keep up the great work!
Thanks for that clarification of the pronunciation, It gets me too must be a "Texas Thang". Love the series and come back to The Great State Of Texas during October for the Texas State Fair!!! You won't be disappointed!!!
I actually made sure I had my recipe and a good source so that I can make pecan pie in Korea because as you've noted, that's not something you can just live without. If I don't get at least one or two pecan pies in me per year I'll die.
I'm a True Texan, born and raised (Dallas), Most Texans love Texas for a plethora of reasons. I truly enjoyed viewing your content. You guys are welcomed back here anytime.
I haven't tried British food, but from what I have heard, and what you have said on this channel, it seems to be on the bland side. It's why I love watching you try different foods. I grew up in Hawaii and it would be interesting to see you try Hawaiian food.
@Kevin Vanbuskirk OMG, Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice; Leonard's malasadas; shaved ice; Helena's hawaiian food; hulihuli chicken; and local filipino, japanese, and korean restaurants. Broke da mouth good!

Coffee, salted, is an immediate upgrade and cream/dairy is a staple of its accompaniments, so why not try a more fattier source of dairy/cream especially if its on a particularly acidic roast/blend. Its a no brainer.
@@KAMIKAZE-dk8xd. It’s actually a ‘thang’ to add butter to coffee. That or coconut oil. Look it up . Actual name for it but can’t remember.
@@candacegilbert7230 Bulletproof coffee, or fat bombs is what I've seen it called.
That older gentlemen behind Josh when he was holding up that huge steak 😂
Yeah, he was like “British savages!”.
Yup! Saw that! He had the "stop playing with your food, whipper snapper!" Look on his face.
As a Texan, I just keep coming back time and again to this content wherein you explore the South, and this is just a drop in the bucket, so it’s with utmost sincerity that I say:
*Y’all come back, now, y’hear?*
The Beverly Hill billies lol. Love that show.
@@Blakethornton66.no that's just how we say good bye if you go to any rural part of the south and are friendly 😅
@@noble61483 Noble….I’m from Mississippi……..
As a Texan, this has made me so, so happy 😂 thank you for enjoying our state!
Of course we don’t a steak that big all in one sitting. We take home the other half and save or the next morning to fry up with some over medium eggs. The best breakfast!🥰
Speak for yourself tiny! 😝
@@ZyklonBeast12 lol
@@ZyklonBeast12 Exactly. The tomahawk is bone thickness (2 inches). The cowboy looks like an inch and a third. Faster to cook, but you can't get the same maillard crust without going medium or medium well.
I'm gobbling it down. And by all means, use the butter on top. Definitely.
I absolutely LOVE how nice you guys are to each other......
I lived in Texas for forty years, before becoming disabled and having to move back East. I can say these things: Everything really IS big in Texas, the food, ESPECIALLY Barbecue and Tex-Mex, is FANTASTIC, the people are largely VERY big-hearted and friendly, and there's no place else quite like Whataburger. Oh, and even if you're not a country boy/girl at heart, the big rodeos are STILL a lot of fun.
If you fellas go back to Texas some day, you should Jolly well go to the Texas State Fair in Dallas, attend the associated Grambling football game (ABSOLUTELY worth attending for the bands' halftime show alone), and be sure to visit Dallas's downtown Dallas World Aquarium and suburban Addison's Cavanaugh Flight Museum, including flight worthy examples of the Kittyhawk and Martlet fighter planes you Brits got from us in WWII via Lend-Lease and an example of the Heinkel He-111 that would have understandably terrorized your grandparents by dropping bombs on Ye Olde London.
I promise, Dallas is absolutely worth a visit in its own right, and there's a LOT more to do than I even touched on.
I was born and raised in Texas and I never realized all the things so close to me were not as readily available in much of the country it was a true shock to the system.
Texas truly is quite a place like none other. This is probably the most texas comment I have seen. I have lived at one point in time on the west coast east coast and Texas. Truthfully, of all my years in Texas it is the grandest in every sense of the word. I recently went to the Alamo (again), after not having been since I was a child. The heroism that was shown there I think truly embodies texas in everything Texans do. Heart and soul belongs in everything, from the great food, to the air shows, and more. Thanks for reminding me about all the things Texas, and Texans stand for. I wish you well!
@@bluejcube94 🙂🙂🙂
San Antonio is another city here definitely worth the visit. Hispanic heritage and Tex Mex
I am proud of you guys! Through all of your food journeys, neither of you had a heart attack! Never be afraid of food, and never say you dont like it until you have tried it at least twice.
I love how the whole crew get to experience the food. Best food channel!
God I love these guys! Hilarious, but also so kind to the people and customs surrounding them. THAT'S the way you vacation in another country! Soak up the culture and foods. Kudos guys!!
All those in favor of Josh and Ollie dragging the Year Nines from their biscuits and gravy video over to the States for a whirlwind taste test tour say Aye.
Aye 🧓🏻🇺🇸👍🏻

As an American, it always amazes me how shocked they are by our food because it seems so normal to me
I’ve found a lot of UK/EU people only “know” about American life from memes and bad reports via news outlets. Never seen one of them come out to the countryside and not have their jaws drop at how free and easy we live. All of the fear about guns, the preconceptions about American crudeness, the idea that we’re primitive… it all washes away when they see how much space there is outside the big cities and how kind the people tend to be.
Because they are going over the top.... acting like they have never seen a tomahawk steak before, I don't understand how they have not seen and tasted most of this stuff in the UK. Think they are doing to appease their US viewers
@@perrysmith1838 I've never had a tomahawk steak. Have never seen it on a single menu. I'm in USA.
@Celtic Spirits Coven you must be from some backwater area, but I imagine I am spoilt living in London.
@@perrysmith1838 I immigrated to USA and live in a large city. Have been to other cities. Perhaps I just don't go to any restaurants that serve this. Seems weird.
Ducky knows what's good! The bones from BBQ meats have an amazing taste to them.
What a joy to watch you kids enjoying our good food. It warms my heart 😊❤
I'm a Native Texan and I am pleasantly surprised y'all so enjoyed your trip to my home State. I do take some umbrage at your saying pee can. We say it puhcahn. Pee can is something you took on a trip when your father refused to make restroom stops 😂
As a Texan this is correct and saying it any other way is fighting words
I live in Georgia and I say pee can but I also say al lot of things incorrectly to annoy by family
@@dude-mu5zx To be fair to you, the difference in dialect in the southern-southern eastern-eastern states varies a lot more then people realize. We're a beautifully diverse, culturally rich country and I respect the face the Texans above you in the chat and you openly share in that.
For context and those outsiders curious, im eastern Washington. Peh-cuhn is very commonly stated here. Pee-CAN is very common is seems if you're bordering the ocean side of the state. Eastern WA has a more notable, though still minor contextually, Asiatic and western European population whereas we tend to have more Eastern European/Mexican/South American influences. So I wonder if in our case, our dialogue starting to mix might be a result of that southern movement mixing with some of those crossing from the Pacific learning the language?
@@Gungho73 I live in the very bottom on GA and it's more or less an even split of both ways of saying it, if not a tiny bit more to peh-cahn.
In Alabama pehcahn is in your pie, a pee can goes under the bed.
Cinnamon vanilla ice cream definitely goes with pecan pie
Heavenly !
What restaurant is this?? I see no mention of it anywhere
Pretty sure it is Taste of Texas in Houston:)
MY DUDES! I love that you're featuring my hometown so much. This makes my heart glad. My family goes to Taste of Texas for dinner every Christmas season. They shut down the restaurant for two days just before Thanksgiving and replace all of the Western themed decor (which is considerable - about 2 semi-trailer truckloads) with Christmas-themed decor. It's absolutely delightful.
Yea, sorry bro but imma need an invite now. Sounds like a dream
Thanks for telling me where they are. After their rave reactions, I was dying to know!
A regular tomahawk steak is pretty great, but a smoked tomahawk is absolutely phenomenal.
As someone who has lived in the US their whole life, every video brings me an unusual amount of joy. Seeing these guys reactions to the food I’ve grown up with is genuinely so entertaining. Also as someone who has lived in Texas his whole life, enjoy busy, it’s not this good anywhere else.
Watching Brits discover flavor is so beautiful. It's like seeing cavemen discover fire for the first time.
Yes, Perfect the metaphor 😂
True story! It's like me leaving my salt and pepper only house! There are more than salt!!!
You're probably too young to know of this cult classic "Caveman" starring Ringo Starr, Dennis Quaid, and John Matuszak. There's a scene where Ringo's character discovers Marijuana, which gave me the visual you described😅 I swear I'm not a pothead
Yes, because there's almost no flavour in, say, London, where I live, one of only two Alpha++ cities on Earth (the other being New York City)...
The key lime pie makes a cameo!! 😂😂 And Ollie totally loved it this time! Feels like we've come full circle, lol...
As a Floridian, i am ver happy !! Our pie has been redeemed 🥳
Honestly, i wouldn't like deep fried key lime pie either.
Good news for you guys on the pecan pie, it's actually quite an easy pie to make at home. You may have to mail order the pecans if you didn't bring some back with you, but the process itself is simple and takes very little time.
It’s the one pie I can make well from scratch. 😂
I'm sure Gabbie can bake you guys an awesome pecan pie. I have a great recipe for one that is a favorite among my friends and family.
Imagine being born and raised in Texas! All this food you two have tried plus even waaaaaaaaaaay more that you haven't at your fingertips whenever you desire it! Yes, we are spoiled!😂
Yes and trying to stay Healthy is a constant battle. I love it all
They never went to a taco trailer.
@@Bacopa68 you mean a roach coach?
@@Xantosdude The one I go to is towed away every Sunday afternoon and gets pressure washed.
And, we're FAT, unfortunately. :-/ Moderation isn't our thing, overall. How can it be when it's soooo good.
Love Josh’s way to describe food and compliment it at the same time! Welcome to TEXAS! The food is amazing. Josh is always so kind and generous with his appreciation of the food, service and hospitality
I love that y'all came to Texas and tried all the right things. There's LOTS more to experience, but you need more time.
Also loved the British kids trying biscuits and gravy!
Ollie is quickly turning into one of my favorite UA-cam personalities
Another native Texan here. I love watching your videos. It makes me proud that you are enjoying Texan foods, culture, and such. Keep up the great work, and amazing video ideas.
As a Native American, I now know the UK is not where I want to visit for good food 😂😂😂
As a Native European, I knew that as well!
No in The UK I hear the best food is in the pubs
There is loads of good food in the UK, as their international community masters international food :D (I now know why!)
Jokes aside, I actually ate some good british food as well in some pubs!)
When I was there, the desserts and breads were wonderful but the entrees and vegetables were pitiful
By Native American, did u mean indigenous or someone born in the US?
This Texas series has been life!!!
I'm a native Texan and I just watched all of your Texas videos and I loved seeing how much y'all enjoyed my state!
Great video! As a born and raised Texan, I thank you for your positive words about the Great State of Texas. Y’all come back when you can.
Thanks for coming to Texas! You've barely scratched the surface of all the great things to eat and do, but you did do some amazing things. So glad I got experience this with you! Cheers!
I'm happy y'all ordered your steaks right. Rare to medium rare. I prefer bone in because of the more robust beef flavor.
I used to work at this place some years back, always so kind and inviting in there. THE SALAD BAR IS TO DIE FOR
Southerners love jolly sharing our food!!!! Keep it up boys! Bravo!!!
Welcome to the Republic of Texas! I'm so glad you enjoyed our fantastic, undeniably delishious food and down-home, country style hospitality. You can hang your hat on that! You did us proud! Y'all come back now, ya hear!
😂😂😂. I’ve loved every one of your Texas videos! Come on back and visit San Antonio next time! SO many tourist sites and restaurants to try!
Can’t believe they went to austin for Tex mex instead of San Antonio.🤦🏻♂️😂
I'm so bummed you guys are leaving the States. I feel like you guys should live here for a while and do every state. Love you guys!❤
At 8:25 the “key lime pie” accent was spot on lol!
Warms my heart to see y'all enjoy our food.
You need to definitely revisit this kind of series but bring the fam along. It's fun to see Ollie and Josh react, but I'm wondering if Gabbie is going to down play everything or if Juno just likes everything. It'd be interesting to see you two go on about your "one-time nostalgia" and seeing your fam's first time reactions.
As a Texan this was a very good video to eat my Pizza Rolls to...
I spit out my Caprisun 😂
Ramen. East Texas here.
@@sweetangiegirl1 I made ramen last night lol
I feel the same way about Pecan Pie as Ollie. It's my favorite dessert of all time
I’m from Houston. And Seeing you gentlemen enjoying the Culture Texas has to offer is amazing. The state truly is the greatest
When you guys come back to Texas one day, definitely go to the Czech Stop and Slovacek's in West, Texas! It's a tradition for my and many other families when traveling South on I35.
You missed out on the snickers cheesecake, and the 4 layer chocolate cake tower that has support beams to hold it up. But cant go wrong with ToT! Glad yall stopped by
You guys are amazing and never disappoint. Watching someone eat and experience things we take for granted has been a helluva ride. I wished you guys would have done a segment on the cars and trucks in Texas and got to see what you thought about riding in a crew cab dulley 4x4 truck! Maybe next time you come we could see that! Thanks for the laughs and have a safe trip home!
I absolutely love when Josh does his American accent. 🤣😍
So...I worked here while I was in college. The food is so good when we go visit Houston multiple times a year we still go eat there. The food is phenomenal every time. I can't promote them enough. So happy you went there!
I M glad y’all had a blast in our great state. Awesome videos!! Keep up to great work
The irony of playing dance of the sugarplum fairy while they literally eat the most meaty meal imaginable xD Loved this whole food tour, so lovely!
I didn't hear Dance of the Sugarplumb Faries, but I did hear Handel's Messiah. Maybe it was at the beginning and I didn't notice.
As a Texan, I loved every moment of your little southern escapades! You only get to live once! Experience what you can, while you can! Y'all come back now, ya hear?!
Being a Texan, and seeing how much y'all have enjoyed yourselves here...makes my heart smile. Next time you come, to the lone star state, you should come to the State Fair😍
God's blessings shower down on you, your families, and your brand continually in abundance 💜☦🕊🥰💖
I was born and raised in south Texas and really appreciate that you are showing our cuisine some serious love.
4:09 🤣 the old guy in the back.. looks like he's having flashbacks of the Boston tea party
Wow! Y’all did great. I am hungry. Glad y’all enjoyed it. And I am VERY happy y’all loved the Pecan Pie. It is my favorite also.
Omg I wanna go to America tomorrow! This looks so gooood! 😛😛😛
1:22 British people finding out the secret ingredient - spices
I'm so glad you loved Texas! Please come back soon! There's a lot more to see!
“That’s not a lazy cow; that’s a cow that spent a lot of time running away from cowboys!” 😆
I’m glad they got some good pies and cheesecake. A good key lime pie is just like Josh described it. The layer of caramel in that pecan pie was just like homemade.
I had a tomahawk steak once and it is an incredible experience. The flavor is so rich and it cuts like butter. I got two lunches out of the leftovers so the expense was justified. The bone would be great roasted for the marrow or to make beef stock. So believe them that it was an amazing experience.
Utter insanity how charred on the outside and how pink and juicy on the inside this meat looks. So jealous of these guys just constantly waltzing care-free into meals like this 😅
Why steak restaurants have oven that goes up to like what 800 degree or something so you can get that amazing char on the outside but inside not over cooked.
@@RexZShadow good point!
@@RexZShadow yep, get that super char and then the other thing, and most people and many restaurants don't do, is to then let it just sit and rest for a bit. That helps distribute the moisture and juices inside, and it still cooks up a little (and your steak won't be "cold" from doing that). If doing it at home - cover the steak with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5 to 7 minutes before serving
just wanna bite into that juicy goodness
@@bendalton5221 at home I usually do the reverse sear method. Takes a lot longer but best disturbtion pink I can manage at home. Doing it on stove just too smokey for my apartment. When I get my own place definitely instally nice ass range hood XD
Y'all come on back any time! You didn't touch Hill Country. Texas wines are a thing of beauty
Glad to see people coming over and enjoying our country. There's a lot here and there's quite a variety so I feel like anybody could find an area that they feel at home.
4th gen Texan here and this is a great list of places to visit for great food .
...as a proud American from the Midwest, I absolutely luv your content & comedy! A+ 👍😎🇺🇸
Great video as always! As a native Texan, I need to pass along two things: 1) Y'all need to come back for the State Fair in October. You'll get a real dose of Texas and outrageous fried foods there! 2) The correct pronunciation of pecan is "puh-cahn". It kills me every time I hear someone say "pee-can". 🤣 Keep up the great work!
that is correct! everyone pronounces it different but i believe the original pronunciation is french and its "puh cahn"
Never seen a steak that large!
Thanks for that clarification of the pronunciation, It gets me too must be a "Texas Thang". Love the series and come back to The Great State Of Texas during October for the Texas State Fair!!! You won't be disappointed!!!
The Texas State Fair doesn't hold a candle to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. I'm saying this as a native Texan who has been to both many times.
I actually made sure I had my recipe and a good source so that I can make pecan pie in Korea because as you've noted, that's not something you can just live without. If I don't get at least one or two pecan pies in me per year I'll die.
I'm a True Texan, born and raised (Dallas), Most Texans love Texas for a plethora of reasons. I truly enjoyed viewing your content. You guys are welcomed back here anytime.
We need a state to state Jolly tour! Meet n greet bonus!! Love these guys , from SoCal 🥩🍕🌮
this would be so cool!
8:47 Josh, how could you say that the pie award is a fake thing? You've literally done a video with award-winning pies from that place in Scotland!
Found your channel 2 weeks ago and I’m addicted, you guys are hilarious!
I live in NWest Texas and always love genuine reactions to all things Texas! Cheers!
The pure food joy in this video makes me happy
I haven't tried British food, but from what I have heard, and what you have said on this channel, it seems to be on the bland side. It's why I love watching you try different foods. I grew up in Hawaii and it would be interesting to see you try Hawaiian food.
Holy moly that'd be amazing loco moco, spam musubi, it'd be amazing
