Hey, everyone! Hope you're all enjoying the first of our In America videos! They'll be coming out every Monday for the next couple of weeks so look forward to that! 😀 Also, just to clarify for any comments saying we travelled mid-pandemic; this trip was at the start of March before Covid was classed as a pandemic and before the US travel ban. As we said in the opening "We've left by the time you've seen this!" 😂
at least you got in and out before all this CoVid hit, and i'm hoping you're all keeping well over there. i suppose that "Try Disney Food" would have been too derivative and likely to draw lawyers, considering my own reactions last time i ate at Disneyland. (Though that was '91 and it *could* have improved in the meantime.) IHOP is somewhat iconic, but there's other breakfast choices it would have been interesting to see that i don't know if you've got in Ireland. (Filibertos, Chik-Fil-A, etc)
Awww the French toast made me sad. If you ate it in the restaurant itself it would have had powdered sugar and your choice of blueberry, strawberry, or maple syrup
Paula Poundstone joke: when I was a waitress at iHop people complained that service was slow. We weren’t slow, we were stuck to the floor. Syrup got everywhere.
Hey, guys! I hope you had fun visiting America! Chicken and waffles has an interesting history. The combo was invented in Harlem in the 1930s. Jazz musicians were finishing work late. They needed something that bridged the gap between breakfast and dinner.
“Chicken’s not a breakfast food” but IHOP is open over night and that’s where you go when you’re drunk at 2AM and no longer fear the demons in the parking lot.
Hell yes. That's the round 2 they need to have for the rest of the menu. Hit a few craft breweries, then follow up with iHop @ 2-3AM before hitting the sack... life is good.
I go to waffle house when drunk at 3 AM, myself. But, I would gladly go to IHOP anytime of day. You just haven’t lived until you’ve had breakfast for dinner.
@@leslieearthangel3473 chicken is pretty versatile and paired with waffles goes well with pretty much any time of day. I would suggest eating it in the morning so you have time to burn off more of the calories... but its still good for a "breakfast for dinner" meal.
@@madijayne2 "They", are not experts! Sometimes ,"they" know not what "they" do! So, "they" must be forgiven. The only thing that goes on eggs of any kind, is green Tabasco. But that's just my opinion. When I was younger I'd like ketchup. In my old age though to much crap in the ketchup, not good for me.
A French toast sandwich exists. It’s called a Monte Cristo. They used to be quite popular about 35 years ago. The way I had it, the center of it is melted Swiss cheese with Turkey and ham sandwiched between the bread, dipped in beaten egg, then fried on a griddle. Sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar. Freaking delicious, if done right. And the rhinoceros was likely just a leaf blower with an attitude problem.
"If we're going for breakfast we're not gonna be ordering all of it." Sir. There are 24-hour iHops. After a drunk night out, breakfast time is at 4 am and you and all your friends are sitting at a booth gulping down water and salivating over a FEAST because your asses couldn't decide if you were in the mood for chicken, hash browns, mozzarella sticks, pancakes, or that crack they call honey mustard so you say fuck it, we're getting it all. You leave the place with a to-go box and an incoming food coma and 0 regrets.
waffles make a great dessert with ice cream and whatever kind of fruit or syrup you like...oh and dont forget the whipped cream...if you are going to do excess...do it right!
Chicken and waffles came out of the Harlem renaissance, musicians and club goers leaving the bars wanted dinner, people getting up for work wanted breakfast, people started combining it.
I am so glad you have made this comment. It's really weird when I see Europeans get really confused about why America does the things they do and assumes it's some weird American habit when it actually comes from certain aspects of (sometimes specifically black) American culture.
Variations are also found in Pennsylvania Dutch culture as well. And the real history of fried chicken and similar dishes in American is important to understand (it's way more complicated than you think).
This is not the IHOP experience without the different flavors of syrup. When I was a kid the main reason why I liked IHOP was because of the blueberry or strawberry syrup.
Agree! It's a shame they couldn't have done this inside an IHop restaurant (maybe super early before customers started coming in) and had all those wonderful flavors of syrup that sit on the tables.
Ikr? I was like nooooooo! 😫 it needs powder sugar, butter and syrup! Ooo or cinnamon powder sugar that would be even better. Why did no one correct them 😤
That's basically a Monte Cristo Sandwich. Make a double-decker sandwich with turkey, ham, swiss, and I like to use gruyere. Then take the entire sandwich and dunk in batter. Then deep fry. Finish with powdered sugar and jam on the side.
Every one of these is the same. "Oh this is so bad for you, look at these ingredients, let's laugh at the Americans" One bite later "Oh my God this is so effing good"
You needed at least one butter per pancake and two syrups for the stack so that there was plenty of buttery,syrupy goodness on each pancake. And yes our portions are large…that’s why we are round or obsessed with exercise.👍❤️
It is too bad that everything looked cold. If the servings would have been hot with melted butter and enough syrup, it would have been 10 times better than whatever they were eating.
No, you have to go to IHOP to get the full experience with the multi syrups and hot food. IHOP to go is no way near the same with to go butter and maple syrup in packages.
Trying to figure out which syrup you're going with is a struggle in its own right. Cuz some days you feel like blueberry, other days you feel like strawberry.... Some days you feel like maple and then the other times you feel like a combination.
@@Cassxowary that depends on the vegan. It's something an animal creates, but not quite the same as milk. I know vegans that eat honey and ones that don't.
@@SabertoothDeathmouse I knew a vegan once that said, "some vegans believe that honey exploits the bee's, BUT we exploit them to pollinate fruit trees as well, so.." . He didn't eat honey, but he was very rational about it.
@@alexachipman i know some might consider this monte cristo heresy, but there was a seafood restaurant in honolulu that served a seafood monte cristo: shrimp, scallops, cheese, in all that battered deep fried bread. it was soooooo extra good. no powdered sugar, though :-)
They're missing the entire experience of eating AT IHOP. The different flavored syrups, the whole menu. THAT I want to see. Reaction to stuffed French Toast.....
I believe Chicken & Waffles started in Harlem, New York. The jazz nightclubs were open late and didn't close till the early morning hours. The musicians getting off work wanted dinner even if it was early in the morning and the people just waking up wanted breakfast so that is how chicken & waffles got to be a combination....so the story goes.
When I did a home stay in England the first thing the mother asked me was "Do you Americans still eat that god aweful breakfast with all the sugar?" I was like yes, yes we do along with the eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, sausage links & orange juice.
Yes, yes we do, as opposed to almost everything in a traditional English breakfast, which is fried. I don't think they're in a position to talk about unhealthy breakfasts.
Chicken & Waffle can be eaten at any time but usually we use to have them after coming out the club at night before heading home, oh and never at IHOP.
Justine: "...and now look!! It's wet ...and I am wet. It is just...("oh, boy what did I just say?" look). Kelly disgusted:" Oh, Jesus...Stafford!!" LOL!!!! I love Justine being kinky...
They still do. In fact, its already sitting there on the table waiting for you. They only be half nailing these "Try American" videos but still, I like the effort! And with the Irish accent... cant get enough.
@@anonymousalexander6005 So Cali has the best seafood in the States? I'm coming over there for the first time once all this lockdown is done. Bit tricky to leave the country at the mo
Justine Stafford is one of the best additions to the channel next to Ciara. It’s as if she’s been with the veteran contributors from the old channel days.
@@anonygent I probably haven't eaten at an IHOP in ten years so maybe they just don't have it anymore. I used to go all the time when I lived in Florida and it was usually an option.
Laura Taylor I was out of Florida for ten years, so when I ended up back at IHOP, I wanted boysenberry syrup but they didn't have any. I said to the waitress when she brought my order, "Do you have any..." and she said, "Boysenberry syrup? No, I'm sorry." I said, "How'd you know?" She said, "I've worked here 20 years."
I loved this video (I'm American) because I loved the people so much. All of you were so honest and funny and happy and cute and everything. You missed on the french toast. It needs to be slathered with melted butter and maple syrup like the pancakes. It can be delicious. I love you guys alot!! The chicken and waffles were a thing that was big in the 30's and 40's. When you mix the sweet maple syrup and the salty breading on the chicken it makes it delicious. Thanks guys for making my day fun.
@@englishatheartI hope you realize you're correcting google, not the person who wrote that. Google routinely changes the spelling of words because they don't have autocorrect, they have incorrect. But I think it's time for you to have a medication review if that was your first impulse when you read that comment.
Jazz musicians in 40' 50's in NYC would go to a restaurant 4 am as it was switching from dinner to breakfast. Thus chicken & waffles. French toast sandwich is a Monte Cristo ham and swiss(?) Between french toast. Usually dusted with powdered sugar.
I'm not sure of the specific origin, but I know this is considered "Soul Food", and may well have been cooked up in that time period, but I feel like it might be even older. The only thing I'm sure of is that it's bedtime and now I'm hungry..
I think it's usually ham, turkey, & swiss. And then battered, deep fried, then dumped in sugar, and served with some hot syurp :P (at Disneyland, I still haven't found a better Monte Cristo than theirs).
Yes, life here in America is soooo expensive. After blowing our last paycheck on a new iphone for our 11 year old daughter (since she cracked her screen) it barely leaves us enough money to get a fifth flavor of Doritos to stock our kitchen pantry (our neighbor has all 17 flavors). All the while, we have been trying to save up for a new car because our current one is almost 3 years old and will be needing an oil change and new tires soon, so screw that, luckily the dealership said they could roll our old car payment into a new car payment that would only be 35% of our monthly take home. Living in a country with so many opportunities to make piss poor decisions is really tough.
My fave meal and I’m actually hurt that ihop was their first time having chicken and waffles; not that they’re bad but like, there are so many styles that are far better .
The collective gasp of horror when they ate French toast with their hands and not a fork bc....syrup. it's not even French toast til then. Like spaghetti without sauce😂
Agreed. I feel like the French toast segment needs a warning before it. "The French toast is not treated appropriately in this video. Be advised this is video is not an accurate depiction of how French toast is meant to be eaten."
"it's not french toast until it has syrup" Silly American comment about food that is older than America itself. You can eat it multiple ways, it doesn't have to have syrup.
The Black Irish is coming out chicken and waffles you guys give me great joy. The response on pancakes priceless lol. Enjoy the diversity of the States 👍 French toast and chicken sandwiches.
Like eating with your fork turned over and the hash browns keep falling off (DJ). Some times you need a coach to get you in the game. Hope they know to unwrap a tamale if they are served them. Salante
Don't feel guilty about loving potatoes. They're delicious. Everyone jokes about Canadians being obsessed with maple syrup, we don't get worked up about it, because we know it's delicious. Love you guys, stay healthy
Hahaha!! Yeah. In America you can get a box to put whatever you don't finish in and take it home to either eat later, share with others or incorporate into another dish.. And, get more than one meal out of it. Some plates are loaded enough to share with a friend which can be a cheaper way to go. 🙂
Chicken and waffles isn't a breakfast food. It's a "I've stayed up so late sleeping doesn't make sense anymore food" Think like 2am. It's super fun seeing people who've never experienced american culture experience it for the first time. Some of it seems so obscene to them, yet is so natural to us :)
Summer before senior year me and my buddies rebuilt 5 motors at each other’s house when we got off work for the weekend. You best believe every night/morning we were walking into IHOP at 2-3am and you best believe they knew our names and orders by heart at the end.
One thing they missed is coffee, specifically that diner-style, kind of watered-down cheap ihop coffee. By itself, its okay. But pair it with their pancakes and you'll get a taste of the divine.
My pet pieve is any place that serves pancakes, and doesn't give you a syrup bottle. If they serve pancakes with those stupid syrup packs, someone needs to revoke their right to serve pancakes..
friendly USA breakfast food enjoyment tip: strawberry pancakes must have some whipped cream. tip2: french toast must be slathered in melted butter, then add powdered sugar (or maple syrup or yogurt, berries etc)
The worst part about this being the how/when they try IHOP is that they arent actually AT an IHOP so they have no idea that IHOP usually has 4 flavors of syrup for you to go through...
My son was having an an aneurysm watching them put a tiny pat of butter only on the top. Pancake and ran through the kitchen yelling "Pancake heresy!!" Lmbo
You should watch the Irish people episode [ ua-cam.com/video/2BFotaytFmk/v-deo.html ] where they were eating American Barbecue. Lolsy made it to the Burnt End Beans and wanted to bathe in it. :)
Not far from me, in Gastonia, North Carolina, is an IHOP on Cox Rd. I don't know if they still do it but when you call, they used to answer, "IHOP on Cox."
I come from an area in America where chicken and waffles is chopped or sliced chicken in gravy which is poured over waffles and served like biscuits and gravy. It’s really frickin’ yummy. Syrupy chicken isn’t quite sacrilege, but I prefer them fully autonomous.
I love you guys! ❤️ You’re reactions on Everything is fantastic. You so remind me of myself because you don’t censor what you say. If it SUCKS you say so. If you Love it, you’re like a Rocket headed into space. Keep up the good work.
Think of it as the food you'd get after a night at the pub. It's too late to call it a snack, and it's closer to sunrise than when you started, so yeah, it's breakfast.
There is, at least a stuffed version. I used to make French toast with meat and cheese. You use two slices of bread sliced ham and your favorite cheese. Make sandwich then dip in egg/milk mixture, grill and slice at a angle when done.
@@tumbleweed249 Yep, that's only for a specific sandwich (which you described- the cheese is typically gruyere, or swiss and the meat is ham but sometimes turkey is added) called the Monte Cristo. It's fantastic.

Get that girl a Monte Christo.

Deadass

Novaximus and that sandwhich is the Monte Cristo! Ha. Only in America!!
The lack of syrup in this video is a crime against humanity
It really is!
They needed to eat at the restaurant with carafes of syrups.
Was about to see a comment about this...SEVERE lack of syrup. It isn't american breakfast if it isn't drowned in sugar.
I couldn’t eat those without two more syrup cups.
roy alfred seaberg Waffle House...
I'm sorry, but that is a *minuscule* amount of syrup for some pancakes...

If you're gonna eat ihop pancakes you eat them the ihop way, so covered in syrup that you end up with your hand forever stuck to a fork
French toast is toast dipped in eggs and cooked on a griddle. They're basically supposed to be eaten like pancakes with butter and syrup on them.
A little bit of powdered sugar too 😊

Well yeah that's actually the best way to describe it.
Its more like having waffles for lunch or dinner, than having fried chkn for breakfast.

Hold on hash browns are not just grated potatoes. You wash then par boil the potatoes the night before then grate and fry.
I can't believe they weren't served biscuits & gravy!
I think that's a different video.
They needed something with BACON too!😀
Last time I was in IHOP, they didn't serve bisuits and gravy anymore, I was crushed.
Yeah but they're probably lucky they missed out on IHOP's version.

When I did a home stay in England the first thing the mother asked me was "Do you Americans still eat that god aweful breakfast with all the sugar?" I was like yes, yes we do along with the eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, sausage links & orange juice.
I'd be like "Do you English still eat Spotted Dick?"
Yes, yes we do, as opposed to almost everything in a traditional English breakfast, which is fried. I don't think they're in a position to talk about unhealthy breakfasts.

🤦🏻♀️eating French toast like “toast” 😂😂😂😂 why did no one tell them, butter and syrup!! I’m just lmao, this video was awesome!!
I know right
and /or some powered sugar
Deborah Sundberg Dvorak and the one girl was dipping it into the honey mustard. Wtf to that!! 😂😂
I prefer butter and sprinkled sugar
@@dustindesalvo lol
Chicken & Waffle can be eaten at any time but usually we use to have them after coming out the club at night before heading home, oh and never at IHOP.
I-I can't eat any more...*shoves a huge stack of cakes into mouth like an American*.
Love ya bud! -America
when in Rome
That... is the most American thing.
Justine: "...and now look!! It's wet ...and I am wet. It is just...("oh, boy what did I just say?" look).
Kelly disgusted:" Oh, Jesus...Stafford!!"
LOL!!!! I love Justine being kinky...
Ever since that "Bob Ross" Try episode, Justine has been very "Saucy", lately..😂
Justine is priceless in this one. She is on fire. Love her sense of humor.
I almost spit my water out when she said “fancake.” And she’s always frothing at the gash! Lmao
@RoachDoggJR WAP - wet ass pancakes
ASAP ASMR AHAH I HOLLERED
@@AudaciousGreen Her 'fancake' quip also cracked-up the person on the other side of the camera, if you listen closely.
I love the look on Justine's face when the strawberry-topped pancakes come out.
MORE KELLI AND JUSTINE! Justine is the foulmouthed aunt and Kelli is the mom who cannot believe what shes hearing.
I think I'd rather like being the sweet,cheesy goo, in a stack of Justine and Lolsy cakes. I'd die a happy breakfast
When I was a wee lad. They brought you a caddy with boysenberry, strawberry and maple syrup.
They still do. In fact, its already sitting there on the table waiting for you. They only be half nailing these "Try American" videos but still, I like the effort! And with the Irish accent... cant get enough.
We Americans may be fat, but we've enjoyed every moment of getting there.
and staying there..............

Justine beholds cheesecake pancakes: "I'm frothin' at the *gash* here."

Justine Stafford is one of the best additions to the channel next to Ciara. It’s as if she’s been with the veteran contributors from the old channel days.
mhm that boss ross eps really opened her up.
When you eat at the restaurant they have a choice of 5 different syrups. Maple, blueberry, strawberry, boisenberry or, my favorite, the butter pecan.
Laura Taylor Where can you get boysenberry? None of the IHOPs I've been to in the last decade have it anymore.
@@anonygent I probably haven't eaten at an IHOP in ten years so maybe they just don't have it anymore. I used to go all the time when I lived in Florida and it was usually an option.
Laura Taylor I was out of Florida for ten years, so when I ended up back at IHOP, I wanted boysenberry syrup but they didn't have any. I said to the waitress when she brought my order, "Do you have any..." and she said, "Boysenberry syrup? No, I'm sorry." I said, "How'd you know?" She said, "I've worked here 20 years."
That's too bad. I remember it was my aunt's favorite one as well.
Butter Pecan Is bomb AF
I loved this video (I'm American) because I loved the people so much. All of you were so honest and funny and happy and cute and everything. You missed on the french toast. It needs to be slathered with melted butter and maple syrup like the pancakes. It can be delicious. I love you guys alot!! The chicken and waffles were a thing that was big in the 30's and 40's. When you mix the sweet maple syrup and the salty breading on the chicken it makes it delicious. Thanks guys for making my day fun.
Eats the french toast without any toppings... "Its a bit bland"... well... yeah.
I mean, have some flour and water while you're at it...
NotedNuance EXACTLY! No powdered sugar OR warm syrup!?! Uncalled for 😂😂😂
French toast shouldn't be bland* on its own. If it is, it's bad french toast.
@@ahorowitz15 Bad... no... bland? fairly bland without toppings... IHOP french toast without toppings? way bland.
@@notednuance My bad. Meant to say if it's bland it's bad.
Oh, you guys are killing me with the french toast... it has to be drowned in syrup!
Erik Hines THANK YOU
Nooooo, I don't use any syrup on my french toast. Just butter. Okay, I'm weird, I own it.
Icing sugar and berries also
Syrup is purely optional. You do you, Erik. Let the rest of the world live their lives.
@@eastportland jesus christ calm down lol hes just recommending how it should be eaten haha and yes it should be drowned in syrup.
Yall disrespected that French toast! No syrup on it? Then it's no longer French toast! *passes out*

Kim Adams or powder sugar.
I kept screaming at the screen when they were eating the French toast 😂😂 “put some damn syrup on it”
TaraDawes 😂😂😂🤣🤣
I actually use butter and powdered sugar on mine, delicious
Fun fact IHOP actually puts a little pancake batter in there scrambled eggs!! It adds a bit of structure and fluffiness!

Jazz musicians in 40' 50's in NYC would go to a restaurant 4 am as it was switching from dinner to breakfast. Thus chicken & waffles. French toast sandwich is a Monte Cristo ham and swiss(?) Between french toast. Usually dusted with powdered sugar.
I'm not sure of the specific origin, but I know this is considered "Soul Food", and may well have been cooked up in that time period, but I feel like it might be even older. The only thing I'm sure of is that it's bedtime and now I'm hungry..
A Monte Cristo is the American cousin of the French Croque-Monsieur (or"Mr. Crunchy").
potatoradio with raspberry jam
also served with jam or jelly
so weird but so good
I think it's usually ham, turkey, & swiss. And then battered, deep fried, then dumped in sugar, and served with some hot syurp :P (at Disneyland, I still haven't found a better Monte Cristo than theirs).
He said “we can’t afford to live out here”...we can’t either 😂😂😩
Get a job, it isn't that difficult and we live on the cheap compared to European countries.

@@xdjxlethalx there's always base housing
Yes, life here in America is soooo expensive. After blowing our last paycheck on a new iphone for our 11 year old daughter (since she cracked her screen) it barely leaves us enough money to get a fifth flavor of Doritos to stock our kitchen pantry (our neighbor has all 17 flavors). All the while, we have been trying to save up for a new car because our current one is almost 3 years old and will be needing an oil change and new tires soon, so screw that, luckily the dealership said they could roll our old car payment into a new car payment that would only be 35% of our monthly take home. Living in a country with so many opportunities to make piss poor decisions is really tough.
@@A3215-y3e Why the hell does your 11yo need an iPhone? That's ridiculous.
“We’re putting syrup on fried chicken, what’s happening?!” America. America is happening.
America, fuck yeah.
You mean MURCAH!
In Louisiana we put cane syrup or honey on fried chicken all the time.
Needed hot sauce on the chicken and waffles.
My fave meal and I’m actually hurt that ihop was their first time having chicken and waffles; not that they’re bad but like, there are so many styles that are far better .
Outside Williamsburg, Virginia is a place called The Astronomical Pancake House. The portions served in this video would be off their kiddie menu.
The collective gasp of horror when they ate French toast with their hands and not a fork bc....syrup. it's not even French toast til then. Like spaghetti without sauce😂
Agreed. UNLESS it's fancy French toast. My mom always made French toast with melted cheese on top and cinnamon sugar. That didn't need the syrup.
Agreed. I feel like the French toast segment needs a warning before it. "The French toast is not treated appropriately in this video. Be advised this is video is not an accurate depiction of how French toast is meant to be eaten."
french toast needs a sugary topping. Fruit, powdered sugar, syrup, whatever. and WHAT THE HECK NO BUTTER?
They forgot the powdered sugar too!
"it's not french toast until it has syrup"
Silly American comment about food that is older than America itself. You can eat it multiple ways, it doesn't have to have syrup.
That french toast is *so sad*
Where’s the powdered sugar and fruit syrup?
The lack *makes* me sad
And the melted drippy butter.
I mean its not good even with all the bells and whistles, especially not ihop's
Justine is the anti-Blaithin. She likes everything and seems to enjoy being here.
J.J. H Yes, I'd like to order one Justine to go please.
The Black Irish is coming out chicken and waffles you guys give me great joy. The response on pancakes priceless lol. Enjoy the diversity of the States 👍 French toast and chicken sandwiches.
Loving Justine, and the filth that comes out of her mouth some times. She definitely makes me laugh my ass off.
And all of America lost their mind over them eating the French toast with their hands😂🤣😂🤣
I do that sometimes.
Yeah it's not good cause THEY ATE IT WRONG lol it needs strawberries and whipped cream or butter and syrup....
i lost my mind when she dipped it in the honey mustard!
Like eating with your fork turned over and the hash browns keep falling off (DJ). Some times you need a coach to get you in the game. Hope they know to unwrap a tamale if they are served them. Salante
I didn't even bat an eye.
do it all the time
6:03 "I FECKIN LOVE POTATOES" Most Irish thing I'll ever hear in my damn life 🤣
Potatoes are American.
Stereotypes come from truth. Therefore, they're not mean, just true. Proven here hahaha
@@patty2943 Sir Walter Raleigh introduced potatoes to Ireland in 1589 from Peru. 200 years before the US existed.
5:20 the most perfect expression of raging annoyance I've ever seen 🤣 Go Dermot!!
You gave them IHOP and didn’t serve them their signature Stuffed French Toast??? Blasphemy!!!
The stuffed French tooooast! *Vietnam flashback stare, then eventually...* 🤤
I was coming to say the same thing
Now I'm done with it. Spoiler alert. Wait, Justine was here. So, I'm still finishing.
and they didn't even give them chicken fried steak! I...I just don't even...what???
I love Justine so much, my god...
Don't feel guilty about loving potatoes. They're delicious. Everyone jokes about Canadians being obsessed with maple syrup, we don't get worked up about it, because we know it's delicious. Love you guys, stay healthy
Pancakes wouldn't be the same without maple syrup
As an American, I don’t mind the “Burgerland” jokes because American burgers are the fookin BEST
This Californian gal thanks Canada for their yummy syrup!
@@Sam-xr8ne yep me too!!!!:)
Also, potatoes are perfection.
Hahaha!! Yeah. In America you can get a box to put whatever you don't finish in and take it home to either eat later, share with others or incorporate into another dish.. And, get more than one meal out of it.
Some plates are loaded enough to share with a friend which can be a cheaper way to go. 🙂
Chicken and waffles isn't a breakfast food. It's a "I've stayed up so late sleeping doesn't make sense anymore food" Think like 2am.
It's super fun seeing people who've never experienced american culture experience it for the first time. Some of it seems so obscene to them, yet is so natural to us :)
Summer before senior year me and my buddies rebuilt 5 motors at each other’s house when we got off work for the weekend. You best believe every night/morning we were walking into IHOP at 2-3am and you best believe they knew our names and orders by heart at the end.
Dermot's face at the sound of the noisy leaf blower..."We flew 4 thousand miles for this?!"🍃🌬
One thing they missed is coffee, specifically that diner-style, kind of watered-down cheap ihop coffee. By itself, its okay. But pair it with their pancakes and you'll get a taste of the divine.
True. Ya gotta have coffee with pancakes.
the facial expressions when the leaf blower gets lou...PRICELESS!!!! Thanks, I needed a good laugh!!! 🤣🤣🤣
They weren’t using nearly enough butter and syrup! Come on producers, help them out!
to me i think the experience of IHOP is seeing all the syrups and figuring which one to use
i drown my pancakes in syrup lol
My pet pieve is any place that serves pancakes, and doesn't give you a syrup bottle. If they serve pancakes with those stupid syrup packs, someone needs to revoke their right to serve pancakes..
they needed some blue berry syrup, and Pecan syrup, regular syrup doesn't do IHOP justice
@@davoid1792 Real authentic maple syrup is the only acceptable thing to put on a pancake.
Justine has the most amazing subtle filthy jokes and sense of humour there is.
Jeff Schmidt subtle?!
It's hot isn't it ?
I'm officially in love with Justine. Brings a real, visceral, dimension to 'foodgasm'
You should look up her TV clips for JOE network in Ireland. Gold.
"They're wet and I'm wet" *record scratch*
Everyone in Ireland seems so chill, I would love to visit, I already have foods I love.
"Rogering a rhino" FTW. That should go on a shirt!
Totally Agree that should be Merch Shirt for sure
And it should have a backpack leaf blower on it!
friendly USA breakfast food enjoyment tip: strawberry pancakes must have some whipped cream.
tip2: french toast must be slathered in melted butter, then add powdered sugar (or maple syrup or yogurt, berries etc)
The worst part about this being the how/when they try IHOP is that they arent actually AT an IHOP so they have no idea that IHOP usually has 4 flavors of syrup for you to go through...
My son was having an an aneurysm watching them put a tiny pat of butter only on the top. Pancake and ran through the kitchen yelling "Pancake heresy!!" Lmbo
Five, if your local IHOP still has boysenberry! My favorite syrup is butter pecan, hubby's is boysenberry.
But the best way to eat them is with warm syrup.
@@karendpeterson970: Smart kid. . .
HONESTLY
I've never had chicken and waffles in my life, I've never understood the concept but I sure enjoyed watching you all try and figure it out!.
That is the first time I've ever seen someone pick up french toast by hand and eat it dry. Insane.
I do it all the time. Sometimes I like to roll it up
it's.....supposed to be eaten dry
@@RaoulRamsaran No it's not. It's supposed to be eaten with butter and syrup...or at a minimum, syrup.
I agree. They totally needed to add syrup.
@@shannoncopeland4506 Yes, this...and powdered sugar
Lolsy’s reaction to the honey mustard is great. I had no idea she was a real life Starfire
You should watch the Irish people episode [ ua-cam.com/video/2BFotaytFmk/v-deo.html ] where they were eating American Barbecue. Lolsy made it to the Burnt End Beans and wanted to bathe in it. :)
Okay...but *honey mustard* with French toast?! That would never be a default or standard option.
I mean I’m half Irish but who doesn’t like potatoes?
This video showed me that an effective way to impress an Irish woman is with an average American breakfast.
Absolutely hilarious.
I sure was makin notes to win over Justine or Lulsy
Not far from me, in Gastonia, North Carolina, is an IHOP on Cox Rd. I don't know if they still do it but when you call, they used to answer, "IHOP on Cox."
"Let's raise a toast"
Oh yes.
Underrated joke.
That's actually where that figure of speech originates from.
Not how people each french toast. And there is unlimited syrup. In different flavors.
And they needed powdered sugar to go with the French toast.
Justine "these are wet and so am I", that's the best thing I've heard today.
I come from an area in America where chicken and waffles is chopped or sliced chicken in gravy which is poured over waffles and served like biscuits and gravy. It’s really frickin’ yummy. Syrupy chicken isn’t quite sacrilege, but I prefer them fully autonomous.
I heart Lolsy since like 2011. Everything she says...."comeer guys *whistle click click click* " 🤣🤣
The way they are eating French Toast like toast absolutely hilarious and depressing. Syrup or Sugar. Fork and knife.
Dimestore Philosopher exactly.. they were eating it wrong! Smh pour the syrup on top please already..
Peanut butter and syrup is the best
I literally stopped the video and was going to say the same, but there you are.
Someone needs to introduce you fine people to the breakfast slider, and other similar breakfast delights.
Or? OR? Nah you need at least syrup and powdered sugar. If not a sweetened batter to go along with it.
Justine and Kellie's faces when the cheese cake pancakes appeared = EPIC lmao
Learn to make them. You will have your choice of the Irish.
I love you guys! ❤️ You’re reactions on Everything is fantastic. You so remind me of myself because you don’t censor what you say. If it SUCKS you say so. If you Love it, you’re like a Rocket headed into space. Keep up the good work.
French toast without powdered sugar is like ireland without raging alcoholics, I feel cheated.
French Toast with an over easy runny egg on it covered in syrup.
Nah, cinnamon roll French toast is where it’s at. Top it with a mix of brown sugar an cinnamon, as thick as you dare.
the strawberries should have been on the French toast lol
I almost never have french toast with powdered sugar. I mean, it's common but I don't think it's as common as you think it is.
"Who eats chicken for breakfast?", asked someone who's obviously never been to the South.
Think of it as the food you'd get after a night at the pub. It's too late to call it a snack, and it's closer to sunrise than when you started, so yeah, it's breakfast.
Literally my first thought
Being from New Orleans, i agree with chicken and waffles for breakfast.
Chicken eggs. Literally having chicken for breakfast. Yet confused on having full grown, fried chicken.
Wat?
(Better not mention biscuits and gravy.)
"Is it savory or sweet french toast?"
Every American Ever: There's a savory french toast?????
There is, at least a stuffed version. I used to make French toast with meat and cheese. You use two slices of bread sliced ham and your favorite cheese. Make sandwich then dip in egg/milk mixture, grill and slice at a angle when done.
@@tumbleweed249 Yep, that's only for a specific sandwich (which you described- the cheese is typically gruyere, or swiss and the meat is ham but sometimes turkey is added) called the Monte Cristo. It's fantastic.
@@tumbleweed249 Well the meat and cheese is savory but the French toast is still sweet.That is the point Savory with sweet.
