Do you know how hard it was to not make a joke about squirty cream LOL
I think tipping is better. You get the level of performance that you pay for.
Oftentimes on a very busy night in america, it's best to start out by laying a big tip on the table and letting the waiter or waitress know, that is currently your tip, poor service will make money get subtracted from that total
Joel 20 carbohydrates or less per day in the weight just falls off while you lay around watching TV.
I lost 85 lb that way.
Back into size 32 pants like high School
Come up to Tallahassee. Would love to see you guys at Carrabba’s for some lunch (Monday-Friday.
Lia is soo beautiful! Joel, you are too, but I like girls.... Y'all are awesome!!!!!
Sunday mornings are always packed for places like Denny's that serve like a family breakfast. You get lots of people after they went to church or just people that like to get a Sunday breakfast.
Hey Joel. For the most part if you are at a restaurant like that in America, when ordering you can request your bacon to be cooked extra crispy if you like.
That is true
same with the pancakes, same with the hash browns :)
Or if you don't like your bacon all burnt to a crisp, you can order it "soft".
I always ask for it to be shatteringly crisp.
This is a special video for me. Before both of you were born.....I was a waiter at a Denny's back in the day........so this video is so nostalgic for me.
Watching you two share a milkshake like All The American Films was awesome.
Making hash browns stay together is actually quite the art. The most important thing is washing, soaking and squeezing dry the shredded potato to get as much starch off as possible.
Places like Denny’s, IHOP, Cracker Barrel, etc. are so good for comfort food in my opinion. Love the all day breakfast options!
Liza have you ever shopped in the Cracker Barrel stores? BEAUTIFUL jewelry, home decor, knickknacks etc. Love it!!!
Bob Evans > all of those.
Nooo!... Oh lord I hope you have better breakfast spots....
Not a bad place to eat in the morning after a night of drinking.
I like Shoney’s
I worked with a Canadian who lived near the border with the USA. Whenever he and his wife had an important dinner (anniversary, St. Valentines Day, or whatever) they would drive across the border to eat at a restaurant in the USA. Yes, they needed to tip (Canada was definitely more like the UK about tipping at the time) but he could be assured they would get great service and if there were any problems the manager would fix them. Even with tipping, the USA restaurants were usually still less expensive than the equivalents in Canada. You were recently in Canada so should have some perspective on that.
Canadians tip for everything, just like the USA. Your friend must have been a little cheap if he only tipped over the ditch.
Canadian service is at least as good if not better than in the States generally speaking.
@@lemonz1769 Things got a lot better in Vancouver with and after Expo 86 as per helpfulness, friendliness etc. Restaurants on both sides of the border around here have really taken a hit with Covid, though. Prices up a lot.
We LOVE eating at restaurants in the Vancouver area (we're from Seattle). Great food, the service is great (yes, they expect tips) and with our exchange rate, we usually get a pretty good deal, even though it seems more expensive.
@@annaburch3200 My experience with the exchange rate has been that when US$! = CA$1.25 then something which coats $! in the USA costs $1.25 in Canada.
Who doesn't love a Denny's! I love their Apple Pie! I love hash browns too! Omg your meals looked so good. Watching this is making me want to eat at Denny's! You guys need to go to IHOP too!
🎯🎯
Laughing at Lia throwing 'shade' with that sarcastic smile at 1:12 after "This is exhausting". 😀😁
The service in America would still be very good even without tips. There are many, many industries where employees aren’t paid through tips and the customer service is still top notch. Retail comes to mind. America is just big on customer service in general and the “customer is always right” mentality.
You are correct, Kat. When I started working at Lowes---part of our training is HOURS of computer training videos--most of them to teach us good customer service. This is HEAVILY emphasized--excellent customer service is extremely important with them...and we have to do refresher courses often on "SMART" customer service. (That's their acronym for it) And the thing is--it actually comes easy because once you engage the customer--you find that most people are open and friendly, and you develop a good rapport.
Hate to say, but not so much anymore, we need to make sure it doesn't go away completely.
@@bkm2797 The pandemic has certainly put a strain on the service industry but I am hopeful things will get better.
@@signalfire15 Me too, the problem is mostly with high tech, you may be able to purchase a product, it might even show up, but if there is a problem....where are the humans? Sadly, I'm beginning to see this bleeding out into other fields of business.
as someone who worked in the food service industry for 20+ yrs.....the customer is RARELY right
Love that you call it land of the plenty! Maybe a t-shirt that says "Joel and Lia exploring Land of the Plenty," Lol. Have a good trip!! I was in Kissimmee last autumn, so it's cool to see you two there.
Your breakfast looked good. Made me want to make a stop at Denny's!
Denny's is SO yummy. They cook everything just to the perfect perfection.
I call it jelly toast. Never heard pudding toast. So cute. Love Dennys though and now I’m hungry for it. lol
Pudding and jelly aren't the same thing, completely different.
Just a heads up if you ask they will bring hot maple syrup to the table.
Also some Denneys have special syrups like Blueberry
I've never had a bad meal at Denny's, and almost always it's very, very good. I stopped being surprised at some point.
Even though it's a massive chain, going to Denny's give you a taste (pun intended) of America's diner culture. You should always eat breakfast at a local diner when you visit an American city!
If you can find one built out of an old silver Pullman rail car, even better.
When in America, chose diners or meat and three restaurants based on recommendations from locals and the number of cars in the parking lot. The last time the hubby and I were in Texas, we asked locals to recommend restaurants and we only ate at those establishments. The locals were spot on. Knowing our Texas friend likes donuts, we wanted to take him a dozen. I asked a local which donuts are the best. I can’t remember the name of the donut shop, but we pick up a dozen and headed to our friend’s house. He was delighted to get the donuts, and he was amazed that we bought the best in Texas.
The quality is much higher at most Mom ‘n’ Pop diners, especially in New Jersey and on Long Island.
Denny's is great for breakfast and very reasonable. IHOP and Perkins are also good.
Omgosh Perkins! Definitely
Perkins is delish!
Yes, Perkins, potato pancakes. With bacon or ham.
Every time Lia says Dennis I die 😂😂😂
SAME! Now, I want to start calling it that! 😆😆
It's pronounced Den knees
Denny's was always our go to after a night out on the town. Bars closed @ 2 am, then to Denny's for breakfast.
In the USA if it is made from fruit juice it is jelly. Made from a fruit puree it is jam. From whole fruit it is preserves. Fruit with the rind is marmalade.
Dennys all you can eat buffet after a night of drinking…. Also they used to give a free meal on your birthday. Loved this day during my poor college days.
The benefit of the tip system is that if it paid in cash, it generally does not get taxed, or reported to the IRS
The feds assume you make minimum 8% of tips, and Technically you're supposed to report tips.
Joel, when you order bacon anywhere in America, just ask for it to be extra crispy when you order it. That way, they can cook it the way you like it. I am with you on the crispy bacon thing. I can't eat bacon that isn't crispy.
Joel is used to UK bacon which is quite different. Same in Canada, which is an entirely different cut. The crisped fat in US bacon is essential to it's texture.
Yes, this is a quite normal request.
Same here the only bacon I can eat that's not extra crispy is Canadian Bacon. Do they have that in Canada? 🤔
We call bacon that we like "air bacon" it's cooked so long, when you bite it, it goes poof evaporate... best burnt bacon ever. I've heard waitresses call it Cremated Bacon.
My appreciation for Denny's had declined quite a lot over the years, but watching a couple of Brits enjoy it so much may have restored it.
I think Denny’s is superior to IHOP- Their burgers are actually pretty nice
Denny's has really gone downhill in recent years in terms of quality and cleanliness. That's not to say all are bad, but most Denny's I see these days are not good. IHOP is a step up, but they've gone downhill as well. My new go to place is Black Bear Diner.
@@bigplanett
Oh yeah, I agree Black Bear Diner is superior to both, they have a giant menu
It’s just too bad they’re only a West Coast thing
You two were making me hungry watching you eat at Denny's.
Any Dennys near Disney is always really busy in the mornings bc people go there before going to the park. Mid day is better bc everyone is eating at the park.
Denny’s has the BEST breakfasts and coffee. Such good comfort food! Glad you could try it.
I'm a gm for Denny's and am going to use this video for training. So happy you enjoyed your experience. Come back soon.
Back in the day when the Soviet Union was a thing, they sent their National Hockey team to the US for a tour along with dozens of KGB to make sure they didn't stray. This was a big deal as it was a first. Near the end of their tour the Soviet team and entourage was asked what was their favorite restaurant while in the US. Denny's won by a landslide much to the horror of the US snooty media. Why did they pick Denny's? It was because they could order by using the food pictures in the menu.
That's an awesome story, thanks Bob. Personally, as an American in Qatar, shopping by picture is a huge thing. "Hmmmm, that package of soup noodles has a chicken on it, and chilli peppers with flames. Think I'll skip the flaming chilli chicken soup" Luckily Google Translate app will do a translation in real time with the camera so times have changed.
I don't think I've ever encountered a couple of young foreigners that high on American popular culture and food. They look like being in their own Hollywood motion picture and enjoying every detail and every minute of it. Very entertaining.
By the way, don't hesitate to ask for a properly carbonated drink if the one served is flat or for anything else that's not up to standard. As long as you ask nicely, you will be accommodated without any problem.
I love Dennys!!
You two are the best. I heard you on the Preston and Steve radio show this morning. Lea you totally nailed it when you did that valley girl US voice.
If you get $15 am hour in Europe and work a eight hour shift.. you will make $120.. work an eight hour shift in an American resturaunt you will make at least $250.. if it's very busy you will make even more.. The American system is much better for waitresses !
“It’s made with real ice cream”…. Well I’d certainly hope so! 🙃🙃🙃💋
Pretty rare to see real ice cream used in a milkshake these days, even at places like Dairy Queen.
The natural starch in the potatoes helps bind it, besides it being fried together.
I have friends who worked in all sorts of retail and service jobs where they wore name badges, BUT there was a collection of random name badges so the customers would not know their real names. They did have to keep track of the name on the badge they were wearing. Some places also let the employees simply wear badges with a name other than their own but their choice. The fake name thing was more important for female staff.
"Dennis". 🤣🤣
"hash BROWNS?". Cracks me up! 🙃😂😂
As a former server I really like that you tipped well! 👌
The crispy fatty part of the bacon is the absolute best
That was oddly very satisfying to see what you thought a out Everything in Denny's! Liz is is NOT called Dennis but pronounced Denneez! Lol!
Lia, sorry, I did spell your name correctly but spell check changed it to Liz!
You're making me want breakfast and it's 10pm !!!
Haven't been to Dennys in years. Loved the MOONS OVER MY HAMMY breakfast sandwich. My sister years ago found a stray cat there, named her Denny. Tmi
I love you guys! I always look forward to them to brighten up my day!
I love their bright, cheery faces too!
@@margietucker1719 I love Lia's face when she's doing or saying something funny lol.
Joel, you immediately figgered out how to drive a left-hand car!! Bravo.
My husband and I went to Wales and Scotland and I felt like the service in most of the restaurants was not very good. If we wanted another glass of wine or a cup of coffee you had to wave the servers down and that felt rude. When you tip the servers you usually get better service.
J&L - Even tho you're long home now, I really liked this vid (I'm just catching up from the Holidays). Lia, Eggs Benedict, always better to order them with poached eggs. Hard to mess up. And Joel was right, you can always ask for more cream or whatever you want, no questions asked. As well, if you asked for some beans on you hash browns, if possible, which it probably is, they'd be glad to do it, for not much more money. Joel, you can always ask for bacon, or anything, extra crispy, or scrambled eggs, gentle. Cheese on scrambled, butter on pancakes, ah, it is the land of plenty. Fun vid, onward.
Does Denny's even have beans?!
dobie bloke I am glad you pointed out Lia's eggs on her Eggs Benedict. I wonder how common it is for people to specify the kind of eggs they want on their Eggs Benedict? That's never crossed my mind. LOL! It surprised me that Lia's eggs we greasy, but my first thought was I've never asked for the Hollandaise sauce on the side. You're right though, the eggs are usually poached! I wonder if Lia requested her eggs over easy? Now I'm wondering what other winning combinations I have been missing out on trying! 😋🤣
Joel and lia are just perfect together I absolutely love them and their videos!!! Hope your having fun in America you certainly look like you are!!!
“This is the land of the plenty, just ask for another” 🤣🤣
The thing about service in America is that people really want to do a good job and please the customer. Of course they need the tips, but despite what you may think, they're not thinking about them constantly. By the way, the hash browns are held together by the starch of the russet potatoes.
Seeing you guys appreciate America is nice. Helps me to realize what we have instead of moaning about all of our imperfections like I tend to do
The food looks so yummy and tasty it just makes me think I wonder if the food company starts to have locations in the UK to have a go of the food 😊
You would like it Brandon. We have never been disappointed at a Denny's.
@@margietucker1719 Thank you 😊
There is one, in Swansea. Don't know why they haven't opened any more.
So weird of me to say this, but I miss Denny's. I live _in_ Orlando, but as my sister says, we're so spread out that "Orlando, is an hour from Orlando". (Which, if you look at the actual city limits of Orlando, is literally true.) And I live in north Orlando now, and have for years, and almost all the Denny's in town are nowhere near me, except for one that's kind of inconvenient by bus, which is why I only would visit it when my dad visited. I need to spread out a little more. (There IS a place called Nick's Family Diner nearby to my house, I'm annoyed with myself that I haven't gone yet.)
Btw, try Portillo's it's near Disney's, since you guys are over there then order "Maxwell Street Polish hotdog", it's delicious and their milk shakes are great too. :)
Denny's Grand Slam breakfast used to be good. Haven't been there in many years so I have no idea how they are now. Looks good.
You can order your bacon well-done, Joel.
I love Denny’s…….massive breakfasts but so yummy!!!!
Denny’s has a great memory for me. My parents liked the place. We didn’t go there as kids but when we became adults and we’d go out to eat while visiting Mom and Dad, we always went there for breakfast.
Now that Mom’s gone I remember it.
Good comfort food.
When I visited Vegas, there was a Denny’s downtown. It was the only Denny’s I ever saw with a full bar.
A lot of people put the creamers in their pockets for a different time.
"Pudding toast!" That's new to me. I think I'll be using that. :O)
@@irenewills9736 I love it and plan to use it with my kids. "Eat your pudding toast!" lol
I looked up the prices now and cannot get over the prices. They do offer an age discount still for 55+ And I noticed they do have a family breakfast to order. In old school Florida breakfast diners kids ate for free. Dennys were pretty reliable for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Ihops also good dinners
I miss Dennys. Loved their Club Sandwich.
The last one in southeast Michigan closed down a few years ago.
grand slam breakfast at 3a.m. after working midnight movies while in high school was the best.
Yeah, guys. Feel free to ask for anything. Stateside, they WORK for tips. If you want more milk / creamers. Tea or soda to go. Ask and you'll probably get it. Ask for take out (to-go) boxes for anything you want to finish later, everyone does it. As for service, at very expensive restaurants, your tip % is higher, therefore your asks / requests can be higher. Don't be embarrassed, the worst thing is they say no.
Have you guys had the change to go to a Breakfast Buffet? Those are amazing if you can find a good one. "The Coke is flat." As a former restaurant server I would respond with a big "thank you!" Same goes with it being watery if the syrup is out. There is nothing worse than the Co2 in the soda machine being out or it just being flavorless. We would fix it right away.
I'm really glad you liked Dennis...it's not fancy but it's just good, know what I mean?...it's just always there for you when you need it...Moons Over My Hammy...it's my go to late night sandwich...
The starch from the potatoes keeps the hash browns together when compressed on the grill.
Hash browns. Rinse multiple times until the water is clear, removing the starch. Completely dry and press them together. Fry on a hot skillet.
Such posh banter in this one! To funny! Welcome to the Land of Plenty!
Love Denny's the food is yummy
And true story I was kidding with a waiter that I was going to take the teapot and before we left he came over with a bag told me its for being nice to him all the time inside was a teapot!
Another story it was easter time I got my kid a 3 ft bunny had to drag it to Denny's the waiter bought over a menu and service wear put in front of bunny then he actually gave him a carrot thus waiter was the best
You called 🤣 Thanks for making my name posh. Love from FL ♥️
You guys need to try breakfast at Cracker Barrel!!! They are everywhere but lots of them are located close to the highways.
The way the hash browns are cooked is in a huge line on the back of the flattop. They leave them until they get really crispy on the bottom and will hold together. Then they flip them and crisp them on the other side.
Sweet video. Denny's is middle of the road diner food because its's a chain restaurant. But it's a brick wall in the middle of the road. The service is good. The food is good after being out all night. It get's crowded there, but that's a good thing. Jump off the beaten path and you will find really good stick-to-your-ribs food. Eat your hearts out. Dieting on vacation is like watching a R-rated movie with your hands over your eyes.
Oops I forgot. Joel. Just ask them to cook the bacon more or less to your liking. Enjoy.
this is my second video of yours. love you guys. love your acents especialy Joels.
Love to watch the contrast between UK and the United States, restaurants, shopping, thanks great friends Joel & Lia.
What I found a bit confusing in restaurants in the UK is that there often wasn't a singular person who was assigned to wait on us. It sometimes seemed like we never saw the same person twice. So the usual thing where you're waiting to spot your particular waiter to ask for more tea or the dessert menu or the bill did not apply. You might as well just ask whoever the next person walking past. Which also made it harder to figure out a tip because who knew who it would go to?
One doesn’t really need to tip in the UK.
Joel(😜), you can request your bacon to be cooked “extra crispy” and see if it suits your taste!
SO SMART to have the hollandaise on the side!
I love it. She said they are going to Dennis
Some places use fake name badges, a catering company I worked at did that lol
"Thank you LAORAAA" I'm crying
My grandmother was born in colonial New Zealand and came to the States as a child and she raised me on Lipton tea.
You two are adorable! Imagine enjoying Denny's so much, I love it!
Not sure if you've been to a Waffle House (or if you're still in the Southeast), but Waffle House has an amazing selection of hash browns. I think there are 6 different modifiers for them there. Also, Waffle house is well known for never closing. FEMA (the government agency that helps out during disasters) actually uses the status of Waffle House restaurants as an indicator of how bad the disaster is.
I hated it when I tried they aren’t big in Texas but your comment made me want to try again if they have 6 different hash browns. 👀 May have to pop in one day
I been south, waffle house did not impress me at all
For being called the Waffle House they had the most paper thin waffles I have ever seen in my life and they were on par with frozen waffles.
Never again.
My friend and I stayed next to a waffle house in Orlando 🤤
Good place to buy drugs and get into a brawl
@@christophersims3319 If you go to one in a lowlife area
OMG, LIA, the second you ordered the hot tea, I thought “I hope she doesn’t get puddle water!” 😉😉😉😉😉
Brilliant! Such a lovely couple.
My brother-in-law once ordered a turkey dinner at Denny's. I've never let him live it down.
This was such a funny video!!! I Just had my breakfast along with you guys LOL
"The customer is always right, and when they aren't ... they still are." I used to work at a movie-theater (no 'tips' in that biz!), and when somebody complained about something - even when they were obnoxious about it - we always did whatever we could to 'make it right'. In the U.S., a business that doesn't operate on the "customer is always right" basis, gets a bad reputation, and probably won't be in business for very long!
Guys! I love the way y'all pretend to be more ignorant than normal by mispronouncing names of places you know to illicit comments. Liyah cracks me up with her crazy eyes and how she complains about everything. 22% tip is sooo nice.
Food in America feeds the soul. Worry about the weight gain later. Love your show. Bea from Brooklyn New York
Went to NE Florida in November. I gained five pounds in a week. We were eating constantly and the food was so good and reasonably priced. I fell in love with Cracker Barrel and Culver's.
Jacksonville?
Joel & Lia - Someday if you ever get the chance, please try one of the hundreds of independent diners up in New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from New York. The menus are SHOCKINGLY HUGE!
I’m glad that you guys enjoyed yourselves! I personally would have asked for a different table, as I don’t like having a restaurant kitchen’s view or being near their bustle while I eat. Unless it’s an open kitchen concept, of course. ☺️
They make a turkey bacon club that is really good.
I am always happy to tip very well for good service. It's on me to pay for what I get!
Yall crushed it. Good job
Love you guys and really enjoy watching your vlogs!
