Mike’s suggestion of making a cocktail classy by putting a flower on it reminds me of my friends who insists that a cocktail isn’t a cocktail if it doesn’t come with a little umbrella. 😂
@@SortedFood haha. I find them (and all other decorative toppings for drinks) usually quite annoying. They somehow always end up poking me in the face. 😂
This reminds me of what someone said wich was 'most fancy food are fancy because it has a large crustation somewhere on (preferably on top) the plate, neverminding if its good or not'
Of all the sorted videos Jamie seems in his element in the series in the Southern States. He takes to us like a duck to water when he visits us here in the south.
@@SortedFoodStill waiting SortedFood Indian tour ( Tamil Nadu, Kerala , Hyderabad,Goa, Old Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat ,Punjab, West Bengal,North East( any state in NE, upto your discretion,but would love to see you in Tripura)).
To this day I giggle every time a member of Sorted says "But first..." Picturing Ben and Jamie entering the restaurant hopping backwards. Father time can make me grow older, but he can't make me grow up.
As a wayward Scot living in Texas, I LOVED this series. So much good food to be had here, and even better people to meet. Kicking myself that I didn't get to run into you lads when you were in DFW!
I will never get tired of seeing Jamie kick his heels together! Jamie's definitely going to win for trimming meat! Round Rock donuts look phenomenal! That donut was bigger than their heads! 1200 food trucks sounds like a challenge that I want to try to best! Those drinks by Ricardo sound delicious!! Now I wanna try their cocktails too! Watching them enjoying the various cuisines made me hungry! Barry saying breathing is important and he plans to inhale his! Ben will apparently do anything for wine! OMG, AMAZING PRIZE! Maybe they'll bring a doggie-bag home for the losers! Watching them relish every bite from Uchiko was an experience! Texas bbq risotto sounds amazing! Thanks Guys, for showing us why everyone should also want to experience Texas, especially Austin!
Fairs and festivals are such a phenomenal way to experience American culture. They're truly one of our most wonderful traditions imo. Their only purpose is just to exist to the community can come and enjoy being together and I think that's wonderful
Because there's also a massive Belgian population, and many of the founding families were first-generation immigrants from Belgium. That's the thing with American cities, they're usually founded by two or three populations of immigrants looking for a place to call thier own.
I love how the crew got to be part of the end. I hope they got to experience the good food and wine too. I've never been to Texas and I love seeing it through your experiences. Thank you and I look forward to next year's destination
I love these travel/food trip vids. They are so great every time! Would love to see you guys head north to Canada and explore the food scene in Montreal & Toronto!
So Canada next? 😊 Beavertails (NOT what you think), poutine, some amazing Indigenous chefs doing very cool things with traditional ingredients and modern techniques
Really loved this Texan adventure! I learned lots of things, find many new to try when I visit it and had plenty of laugh. Perfect way to end a week guys!
When we were stationed in San Antonio our favorite event of the year was the Texas Folklife Festival, a huge celebration of all the people groups who made Texas. Music, dancing, activities, and food from every imaginable culture- a great memory from our time in Texas.
Ever since Lost & Hungry your travel content has consistently been some of my favorite videos on UA-cam and this series is no different. Uchiko looked absolutely delicious
@@SortedFood Glad you guys had fun here. Was a fun episode to watch, and yes, Round Rock Donuts are epic -- and so is Uchiko. It remains one of my fondest memories, taking my mother there for her birthday and having the omakase.
Jamie, I work for a German-based company and when I have visited, I notice that even there, the day that the company canteen serves the sausage plate is everyone's favorite. It's also 3 sausages there, but one is a currywurst, and it's served on a huge plate of chips. I laugh now when they say American portion sizes are huge.
15:37 ... Founded by German .. why is the Belgian flag waving there ? Germany = Black Red Yellow Belgium = Black Yellow Red Later I do see a German flag, but this is just too hilarious. Great video, great series. Loved every moment of it !
@@LucasGeniar Considering the number of people online (probably including many IN Texas) who confuse the Cuban flag with the Texas state flag, Texas having a problem with flags is a joke with *layers*!
I love when you do series like this....they are my absolute favorite. I enjoy seeing the people, the scenery, and especially the food. My mouth watered all the way through this episode. Thanks for taking us along on your wonderful journey.
Jamie is just right at home, especially in Dallas and Austin!! I’d love to see more trips to the US! I believe you guys went to the West Coast but I haven’t seen any videos yet, I’m gonna go looking for them!
FYI In the UK the Butchers cut is Onglet or "Hanger Steak" and that's purely because there is only 1 per cattle. Looks like you guys had a great time out there, and I've enjoyed this series immensely.
Oh this was such a great video! It really looked like y'all had a wonderful time. It's lovely to see that even after all these years y'all are still so grateful for the adventures y'all have and are always open-minded and excited about what y'all come across!
If any of you Sorted guys ever make it back to Austin I’d be more than happy to take you around to some of my favorite spots. I’ve lived here all 43yrs of my life so I’ve got more than a few regular favorites.
i've been saying this for some time now, but Jamie is not a "normal" he is a home chef. Maybe a bit of a lazy homechef, not really wanting to cook, but he can make and plate food worthy of a chef. Mike and Barry, catch up lol
So the fact you all went to Austin, Round Rock, Fredericksburg and McDade was fascinating. There’s still more to experience in Texas. Hope you make it back soon. Ren Faire, Wineries, Breweries, Food, Music. You haven’t seen it all.
Have been WAITING to see them roll into Austin! All of these places are amazing and I've been lucky enough to visit most of them in my time there. Love it all, Keep it Weird 🫡🫡
YAY So glad you actually got to do Austin! Been living in Austin for 28 years and I was worried you weren't going to make it since you hit all the other major cities. SO GLAD you made it to Round Rock Donuts, too! Definitely best classic donuts ever.
I know how much that Ben hates doing these in the US, but it's so much fun to watch the boys genuine reactions and joy. As an American Chef, born and raised in the South, it blows my mind that they didn't know how well watermelon and BBQ go together. Add an ear of hot buttery corn and a glass of ice cold sweet tea and it's the perfect meal of Summer.
Y'all should definitely come to Oregon!!! Portland, Salem, Newport, and Corvallis all have phenomenal food! And heck, as local foodies, we'd be thrilled to show y'all some of our faborite local spots!
Video 11 of asking for a Bay Leaf Challenge video. Ben v. Kush. See which Chef can pick out which contains Bay Leaf from what would otherwise be two identical dishes.
I'll 2nd that. I love bay, though you have to be careful not to use too many as it can overpower a dish. Also call me old fashioned but "Old Bay Rum" is still my favourite aftershave, it has a brilliant smell.
@@Getpojke There's a traditional Icelandic recipe for halibut soup, where the main flavors come from soured whey, prunes and a ton of bay leaves. It's very delicious and refreshing.
I grew up in Round Rock and I knew y’all were going to get that donut! Also, for all of you that don’t know, the rock that they showed in the intro to the RR section is THE round rock that the city is named after.
If you’re ever in the mood for a trip to Minnesota (during the summer), you HAVE to check out The Logging Camp in Park Rapids. It’s an all you can eat experience on the Crow Wing River. It used to be an actual loggers’ camp. Where loggers would ride the chopped trees down the river (think Paul Bunyan) to the saw mills. It’s AMAZING food, fun, kitschy vibe , and someplace I’ve gone every summer of my life (other than lockdown), with grandparents, cousins, and now my own kids. 10/10 we look forward to it every year.
Next year you should plan on coming out to Albuquerque for Balloon Fiesta! You will have a blast! Just get reservations in very early! First through second full weekends of October!
Jamie winning the bavette challenge against Ben.....half of me is surprised...the other half...? C'mon, Jamie is the BBQ man..the lord of the meat...so somehow Im not surprised he won lol but seriously, amazing series! seriously made me want to visit Texas. Thanks for the great content as always.....and thanks for always making me hungry at odd hours (due to the time difference lol)
Mike’s suggestion of making a cocktail classy by putting a flower on it reminds me of my friends who insists that a cocktail isn’t a cocktail if it doesn’t come with a little umbrella. 😂
Love those little umbrella's 😂
@@SortedFood haha. I find them (and all other decorative toppings for drinks) usually quite annoying. They somehow always end up poking me in the face. 😂
Threw in not one, but two garnishes for good measure 😂 flower and pineapple
This reminds me of what someone said wich was 'most fancy food are fancy because it has a large crustation somewhere on (preferably on top) the plate, neverminding if its good or not'
At least it's not "a cocktail isn't a cocktail if it doesn't have a tail feather of a male chicken" 😂
Very lovely to see how proud Ben is of Jamie when he performed well on the bavette challenge. #FriendshipGoals
Have to admit we thought Ben would definitely win that ! We’ll done Jamie 👏🏻 they are just such a fantastic group of guys
Of all the sorted videos Jamie seems in his element in the series in the Southern States. He takes to us like a duck to water when he visits us here in the south.
Great series! Now we need Sorted Down Under! Australia's food scene is fantastic!
That would be SO MUCH FUN!
@@SortedFoodStill waiting SortedFood Indian tour ( Tamil Nadu, Kerala , Hyderabad,Goa, Old Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat ,Punjab, West Bengal,North East( any state in NE, upto your discretion,but would love to see you in Tripura)).
Pit stop in NZ please too! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@SortedFoodmake sure to stop by Brisbane!
Hawaii please!! My daughter and I are HUGE fans!
To this day I giggle every time a member of Sorted says "But first..."
Picturing Ben and Jamie entering the restaurant hopping backwards. Father time can make me grow older, but he can't make me grow up.
You're and OG with that line - love it!!!!
@@SortedFoodbring back the fridge and comment of the week
@@janae5926 OMG yesss... I even miss the dad jokes, it's just not the same reading it in the newsletter!
The second I read 'but first' I could picture ebbers and jay shimmying backwards 😂

I love Ebbers' enthousiasm so much, the kinda guy you want to bring with you on a food trip for sure
What a fun trip! It felt so refreshing even though it was just me watching everyone be chaotic in charming surroundings.
So glad you enjoyed it Pokhraj, thanks for watching!
You guys have become my Top Gear of food content. Love these longer episodes.
Founded by Germany but have Belgium flag! That is so funny. Even I started to questioned myself 😂😂😂
i noticed the same.
Feels symbolic of how loose a lot of Americans' claims to "heritage" seems to be
I saw it too. o/
matches the weiner on the menu
Because there's also a massive Belgian population, and many of the founding families were first-generation immigrants from Belgium. That's the thing with American cities, they're usually founded by two or three populations of immigrants looking for a place to call thier own.
My husband and I sometimes refer to food good enough to dance in your seat as”wiggle food.”
Ben found wiggle food.
What a fantastic opportunity you all had. A memory that will never leave and a beautiful conversation to tell friends.
This series has really been a wonderful experience! Please guys consider doing a Texan themed pass it on and/or battle soon! while is all fresh!
No because if you actually listen you understand that they can’t just replicate it
When life gives you buckets, use it as a stencil for your doughnuts.
I love how the crew got to be part of the end. I hope they got to experience the good food and wine too. I've never been to Texas and I love seeing it through your experiences. Thank you and I look forward to next year's destination
Famous Last Words in Texas: “How big can this thing be?”
This had me laughing until tears on the watermelon contest. As always so respectful of other places and America loves you! Or I do! ❤️
The pretzel that Jamie was holding. Man, that thing looks amazing. I would love to get one of those with some beer cheese.
Garlic bread flavored pretzel with a chimichurri dipping sauce.
I love beer cheese so dang much.
Yea, that doesn't look German, like, not at all
I love these travel/food trip vids. They are so great every time! Would love to see you guys head north to Canada and explore the food scene in Montreal & Toronto!

I was unreasonably proud of Jamie on the bavette challenge 😂 and I really want to try that lavender cocktail
Barry willingly drowning in the sweet flavor of the watermelon was amazing 😂
Cool to see the Round Rock donut again, I remember that from one of my favourite Man vs Food episodes
Their donuts are epic 😋

20:36 The one time the Red Shorts would’ve come in handy.
Serious round of applause for the videographers! They did an incredible job 👏🏻👏🏻
Love the series! Maybe someday (some hope?) a plan of a collaboration Korea trip with Korean Englishman?
This series was great! Love seeing our boys out playing and learning more about America and what it offers. Bravo from Illinois, USA.
FYI In the UK the Butchers cut is Onglet or "Hanger Steak" and that's purely because there is only 1 per cattle.
Looks like you guys had a great time out there, and I've enjoyed this series immensely.
I love watching Jamie with chopsticks next to ben with a fork
I actually lived in Round Rock, TX for ten years! Loved it! Never been to McDade, but awesome!
Oh this was such a great video! It really looked like y'all had a wonderful time. It's lovely to see that even after all these years y'all are still so grateful for the adventures y'all have and are always open-minded and excited about what y'all come across!
That Melon eating contest looked like water-boarding with melon juice!
I don’t think I’m going to recover from watching mechanical bull riding and line dancing, but I’m so excited nonetheless! 😂
Happy Sunday!
As someone who's from Austin, this episode made me incredibly happy to watch.☺I'm so glad y'all got to try Loro!!!! It's so freaking good
What a fantastic series! Wonderful job to everyone who played a part in this!

Hope y’all had fun out here in ATX! You look like ya’ll brought an infectious energy & were great guests 🤘
Ben and Mike are super lucky, Uchiko is AMAZING
9:30 double matching shirts and cocktails, how perfect
"We earnt it" Ben and Mike after the best meal they've had in a long time suddenly become cockney.

I like seeing Jamie in his element trimming that joint
Texas loves you too! Come back any time now!
Texas has never been made to look better. Congratulations, guys!
I come back here to see if anything interesting is happening, love that Texas tour
I love the wine from Fredericksburg... so yum!!! Such a pretty town too.
The new age of Sorted is Bourdain-esque, and oh boy am I here for it. This series has been amazing.
Outstanding video, excellent showcase of some of central Texas's best!
Thank you so much, we're so glad you enjoyed it!
My taste buds enjoyed watching this entire series.
We had texas donut day at school in the 90's and it was always amazing!

I'm from West Fargo. ND and I grew up with Sandy's Donuts, where they sold big fluffy donuts my best GF had for her birthday every year. Good stuff.

I love Lucy Ben and Jamie style! LOL It truly is hard to find anything better on a summer day than BBQ, watermelon and let's add corn-on-the-cob:)
His team may have lost but Jamie's got the heart and soul of a true Texan and that's what counts. Best wishes, king.
Thanks for stopping by Corpus Christi! :)
My only regret watching this series was that I didn't manage to bump into you guys when you were in my neighborhood in San Antonio. Maybe next time!
Loved this series!! Please keep traveling, I love adding new items to my bucket list!
What a splendid travelogue! Thanks!
Ugh! You guys were in my neck of the woods and I missed you! Hope you guys enjoyed your visit to the Austin aeea!

I'm a Canuck but lived in Dallas from 80 - 82...that's when I first got hooked on BBQ (smoked).
Never made it down to Austin or Houston area.
