That first chef was so pure. His spot looked so unassuming from the outside but you can tell how passionate and authentic he is. Hope he gets an increase in traffic to his restaurant from this he deserves it
Saltbox regular here - they have quite the following in the Triangle - on a nice sunny day a line out the door is an understatement. It’s a great team and great fish.
Recently, I feel like worth it has shifted from comparing a smaller priced dish to an extremely expensive dish, to just showcasing 3 dishes anyone could afford. All things aside, I love this direction. Looking at all these delicious dishes, and knowing that I CAN eat it is amazing.
@@ACE112ACE112 Yeah, but it's still affordable. It's like before where very few people could justify the price at all (and it often didn't merit it either).
@@tams805 Part of the appeal of the crazy expensive dish to me was to let us regular folk know if we were missing out on anything. The show is called "Worth It" so it was kinda part of the premise to see if an ultra luxurious meal was worth it compared to cheaper options. Comparing dishes within 30 bucks of each other feels more like just reviewing 3 different restaurants. Sometimes the price delta is large enough to make sense though.
I see both sides. When I first started watching these lower priced ones I thought I'd be disappointed, but watching them I can see myself getting this food from these restaurants if I were ever there. And it makes me look for similar places closer to where I live. I love the extravagance of the old format but I like it this too. It's a nice way to change it up a little because you can't keep doing the same thing forever.
I think the food scene has changed a lot in a post COVID world too. Like super cheap places are very rare now it feels like, but there are a lot of mid-level restaurants with entrees in the $16-$30 range. So it makes sense there are smaller price differences between the price points.
This show is getting more and more professional as it goes, but without ever losing its sense of humor and humility to the food and the people who worked so hard to create it.
@@threeleggedcat Budget is relevant to the _premise,_ though. The "three drastically different price points" spiel isn't really particularly accurate anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely sick of hearing about gold leaf and truffles. Gold leaf is literally pointless, and truffles aren't anywhere near as good as their price point, but still.

These might be the three most impressive chefs we’ve had together in one episode. All really solid, well spoken dudes with a really clear and compelling vision.
Something I’ve really been noticing and loving about the episodes lately is how great the segment is with the chefs they visit. Everyone they speak to is so articulate and thoughtful in how they talk about their food and their choices and the ecosystem they’re part of. It’s becoming my favorite part of the episodes.
I think they’ve had a clear drop in budget as to the final main dish, but it’s making them go out of their way to find more dishes that are “expensive” but truly worth the work the chef puts in. We see more people passionate about their job
@@Crying2Death i like it better this way tbh, those $500+ dishes with all the bells and whistles (caviar, truffle, gold leaf) didn't even seem that good, just ostentatious for the sake of it and inaccessible for the large majority of the people watching this. All of these places I can try and are definitely worth it
I really like how this show has morphed to include dishes on the top end that are still accessible to a lot of people for a special occasion. $50 for a dish is still expensive to most people, but it's far more attainable or within reach to most than some dish that is hundreds or over a thousand dollars just because it's covered in gold leaf or truffles or comes with a side of ridiculously expensive champagne like when this series started.
I agree, and I think they moved into a more actual "food reviewer" position because after leaving BuzzFeed and their obsession with clickbait crap, they can actually do the job they wanted to do in the first place. They started small like this, then BuzzFeed started pushing the budget and the shock value of ridiculously expensive dishes when they saw them get a following. As always, corporations fuck everything up for everyone. Glad they found their way back to the beginning. Fuck BuzzFeed
Nah, he IS at a professional level. This style of food review is how modern food reviewing is done. When is the last time most anyone read their local paper to read a food review? And look at their reach. They can't be denied. 👀
@@Rallosz i don't think you've watch this show when it just started in buzzfeed. andrew wasn't even the co-host then and it was one of the try guys. andrew got the gig cause he schedule lined up.
I love the "not so drastic" price points in the newer Worth It episodes. It keeps the dishes more down to Earth. Back then a lot of the food on the most expensive price point was a mash of caviar and gold but now each dish has it's own soul.
After watching his process learning about food over lockdown and on this channel with his solo projects and projects with Inga and Rie and Alvin, I feel like I know him in such a close way. I can pick up the nuances of a certain expression. It's weird, right? How do I know Andrew better than I know people in my real life?
Mario at 'Seabird' said, "you tend to cook a little differently when you know the people bringing you the ingredients". I love that he said this and I never thought of it like that. It makes perfect sense. Now if I can only find my own local seafood restaurant that conducts business the same way. What keywords do I need to search?!
I know there were articles in the past that have said if someone burned a grain while preparing it Sean Brock would make them I think call or write Glenn at Anson Mills to apologize for wasting his effort. It definitely makes you focus on your work harder when you know this is something an actual person has spent months of hard work, its not just some mass produced celery from the other part of the world.
This is the most wholesome, informative as well as entertaining show on the internet. This is the only series that improved along the way in all aspects. Including the hosts, the production, the way they choose restaurants and their friendship. Just beautiful.
I love how reasonably priced the dishes have been this season! You can tell it's been a real focus on highlighting these wonderful small businesses rather than just going completely over the top!
@@gabrieljy I'm pretty sure they meant that because it's literally the end of the year. Like how tv shows don't have new episodes for like a month as Christmas and New Year's pass. Like, we'll likely get a new episodes first or second week in January.
seeing these two grow their bond is beautiful. I remember when their friendship was really awkward. Look at them now. And I love how they always include Adam. This really shows trio is the best form of all friendships
I think it’s also to do the with the fact people / fans saying that Adam always gets the leftovers so I think they added it to the vid to show us adam eats like a king behind the scenes 😅
I love this season. It highlight u.s regional cuisines that not many people might not know much of or not at all. Like North Carolina seafood? Wow. Also the realistic prices. The most "expensive " dish is still affordable
Okay, so Steven got me thinking when he mentioned being from Ohio: I’d love to see y’all do episodes with this format in everybody’s home state with different regional food cultures. That’d be tight.
Love the development in the relationship between these three, such a great show bringing to light all these amazing dining experiences around the world
I've watched all of your stuff, and one thing I have to say - I appreciate whoever picks out the music, trying to match the song with the atmosphere of each restaurant. It's underappreciated; thank you!
I’ve been to SaltBox Seafood Joint like 6ish years ago. The owner is so down to earth and just really cares about making good food. I got to sit down with him talking about his journey and he gave some advice. Amazing guy!
As an NC Native, this was so good to watch. We have a wide range of cuisines that are not always highlighted. There is even a coastal community that speaks Elizabeathean English and has great seafood as well.
I’m not a native (my family moved to the south when I was young). There really is an incredible amount of amazing food in this state. Done properly, southern food truly is world-class
@@-SarahElizabeth- The small islands off the coast of North Carolina are actually really interesting, because they were just isolated enough to preserve some really distinct cultures and languages. The other commenter was probably referencing the Hoi Toiders, who live on a few islands off the coast. Their dialect of English is likely closely connected to the English spoken by the island's original settlers, and many have accents that noticeably seem a little bit British, despite having lived their whole lives in the US. You should also check out another unique culture, the Gullah people from near the coast of South Carolina, who speak an English Creole language called Geechee. This community is descended from enslaved West Africans, who were taken to the islands off South Carolina's coast to farm rice. Thanks to a combination of isolation and White slaveowners struggling to adjust to the climate of these islands, these enslaved people were able to preserve their languages and customs to a degree that was almost always brutally repressed on the mainland. As a result, Gullah culture and Geechee language continue to have many strong connections to various groups from the West African coast, but blended with European and Native American influences.
I could picture myself watching this 20 years from now. They have such chemistry, and seem truly interested in what the chefs have to say. This show is almost as rewarding as eating the food they are showcasing.
Can I just say, this segment right here 25:26 was very relaxing, I love that shot of you two sitting down, having a break, the scenery and set is beautiful
I really appreciate the dynamic between the owners of Seabird and Matt. Especially how Matt just wants to share the joy of eating oysters and Seabird helping in making it affordable for everyone. You can tell they care not just about their food, but as well as making that joy something everyone can enjoy and that's so wonderful of them.
UA-cam didn't bother telling me until recently that this series has been brought back and I am so so happy. I love Steven on Watcher, don't get me wrong, but this show is perfection.
My thoughts: - Does anyone else rewind and rewatch the cooking sequences to absorb how amazing the food looks? The videography/camera work of this show is gorgeous. That croaker 4:59 omg - 20:31 STEVEN xD - The crab cakes made me smile - After the 20 minute mark you can tell this show has elevated its game. ANDREW has elevated his game. I feel like I just saw the future version of him being the most classy and friendly food critic ever. - I'm so glad I saved this episode for when I needed a mid week pick-me-up. in 2017 I remember watching these episodes in my empty apartment when I just moved in. I'm still watching these shows for comfort 😌
I love this series. Please do it forever. Going to different cities to try food you’ve already had on the show is brilliant. No loss in quality because the chefs you find are so creative.
This show has really evolved. I used to think that they would choose the best ONE among 3 different price points Only. But now I can see that they’re showcasing the best food in 3 different price categories. Good job you guys! Thank you for showing us the heart, story, and effort put in at every level! What a good way to promote food ❤️✨
God I love this show. I love how this is a longer form episode too. I love all of the extra parts where they talk to the chef's and go and see different parts of the process. This is amazing.
I can totally appreciate Steven's POV, growing up in Northern Ohio, the closest thing to Seafood you had was Catfish. So it's hard to understand the flavors of true seafood and actually well curated dishes. It's blown my mind being able to travel coastally how incredible food out there is.
i’m so sad we need to wait for more episodes!! i missed this show so much and it was awesome to see the boys together again. can’t wait to see what they’ll bring next season
This is one of my favorite episodes! You can hear the passion and dedication from every chef. Much love to Steven and Andrew for making me look forward to every episode 🫶🏼
This formula is so easy to watch. There is something for everyone. The food is attainable. In many different geographic regions. It focuses on the food and the chefs. They teach us stuff. It’s not all about the hosts. They others shine. They tell a great story and they keep us to the end with their picks. Plus right now there is little to no sponsored content but if they add it I hope it follows the hot ones model.
Finally, a restaurant I've been to showed up on the show. I went to Catch a long time ago and it was one of the best seafood restaurants I've ever been to. Glad to see it get some attention!
god I love watching people who love food reacting to spectacular food. you can see the wonder and joy in every expression and exclamation, it's so nice to see that happiness being shared
Always love the respect these three have for food. Just a very honest, pleased reaction - I imagine the creator chefs really appreciate the reverence they have for each dish
As a Wilmington local I’m so sad I missed y’all, but so happy to see such great spots highlighted!! I graduated with a degree in film so it was such a joy to see others highlighting the beauty of my hometown through its food and cinematography!
I love this show so much. I wish more people could watch it. The cinematic quality is everything. Now with the educational part of sustainability is amazing. Love it!!!
The best thing about this show is that we love the whole crew and the whole vibe. Thats the only reason everyone watches them, the price ranges of the food is becoming irelevant, we are here for the good time.
I’m so glad you guys got the rights to this show and get to do make it your way now. It’s the best food show on UA-cam and you guys genuinely seem so stoked to make it. Keep up the great work!
Opened up the app immediately after watching on my Xbox because I was so satisfied with this "year end" episode. I only recently discovered this show/channel and I've been devouring their videos non stop. The pacing of each episode is so chill and I almost feel like I'm there with them enjoying the same food they are. I just want to thank the channel for putting a smile on my face and for being such genuine individuals. May you guys continue to make more content and be blessed!
I love that you all are supporting smaller businesses that take pride in sustainably sourcing and handling their food! I noticed that in the recent pork episode and loved that attention to detail.
I am so astounded by the friendship this series has built with this crew. Great episode and i love to see how ATE puts its own taste on the B-Roll, the edits, and the overall feel. Much more freedom for their imagination!
I still love this show, though I do miss when the price points were a bit more "drastically different". It was great for cheap food recommendations and to quasi experience the decadence of a ridiculously expensive meal. But I'm also glad they're getting to explore so much more as the show has gone on.
I appreciate so much how your show has evolved over the years. It was evident from the get-go that Adam and Andrew had a vision for what they wanted to do in showcasing amazing food first in Los Angeles, then around the world. Steven brings so much heart to the show, and the chemistry between all three is fantastic. I especially like that Adam has been mic’d for recent shows, as it feels a little like that finishing seasoning just as a plate is about to be brought out. These are episodes I could watch time and again because of all the nuance that has developed, and it’s just so entertaining. It’s also been great in adding places to my list where I would like to eat and has spurred travel to reach these locations. I hope that as this channel continues to develop you keep this show as a staple component of what you do. It supports local business and industry, it opens peoples minds, and palettes to new possibilities, and the production values are high, which add to the overall entertainment value. I look forward to seeing where you all go next. Cheers!
I love this show so much!! It's so wholesome, interesting, informative, tempting, and mouth-watering - and learning about restaurants supporting local sourcing and sustainability along the way makes it even better. I love food, I love these guys, and the whole aesthetic is just so calming!! I just wish the UA-cam algorithm could actually get things right and notify me when there's a new episode available!
$48 is actually pretty reasonable for those crab cakes. Earlier this year the market price for blue crab was like $40/lb, and as a general rule the restaurant price is 2x the cost of the ingredients. I live near the Chesapeake bay and people were going crazy because of the cost of crabs, lol.
I enjoy this limited run/short run of Worth It! Quality production and you get to travel and explore different places and types of cuisine! Everything looked amazing and now I've definitely bookmarked some places to visit next time I am able to travel! Cheers!
Somehow my favourite Episode so far - and I watched a lot of Ep´s.. That little departure bits from the usual formular spice it up in addition to the obviously flabbergasting deliciousness of these seafood dishes that even oozes out of the screen..
I've loved this show since the start, and truly, this is one of my favorite episodes y'all have ever done. Can't wait to see where you journey to next.
Can we get an exploration of Ukrainian or other Eastern European foods? I’d love to see Andrew show off his culture like Steven did. I also think it would be nice considering what’s going on rn
i really love that you guys have gone from the format of finding the most expensive type of food to finding more affordable options in specific areas. really does it for me as a viewer
Thank you for showcasing my state's local seafood. I spent a lot of time in my childhood at my family's vacation home at Long Beach and the seafood was always such a highlight.
I really hope they are able to keep doing this. I really love how they're highlighting the chefs even more and more. So glad this isn't on Buzzfeed anymore.
The production on this video was incredible each spot felt like it’s own mini episode of worth it. It’s like worth it inception! I loved how focused and narrowed they got at each place! Brilliant as always!
@@ElixirOfEuphoria Same! Pretty sure they were on the north end at some point in the video. I’ve watched the series from the beginning so it was cool to see.
Jeez I miss you guys. Come back, sign a 5 year contract and do what you guys do best. What more do you want? You already have a huge following (won’t always be the case as time passes without more shows), you’re a fantastic team (very hard to come by, but all three of you are perfect together) and I’m sure it’s decent money while having a fun time traveling and eating and getting paid (a rare treasure to have).
That first chef was so pure. His spot looked so unassuming from the outside but you can tell how passionate and authentic he is. Hope he gets an increase in traffic to his restaurant from this he deserves it
If you ever want to watch a deep dive on this place, Mark Wiens has a whole video about that restaurant. And the food looks absolutely outstanding.
Saltbox regular here - they have quite the following in the Triangle - on a nice sunny day a line out the door is an understatement. It’s a great team and great fish.
Chef Ricky at Salt Box has a James Beard award- a true master of his craft
He's in Durham, NC! Saltbox Seafood Joint

or he has italian background and its quite common
he probs saw them during b roll while recording the chef making the dishes and found it to be note worthy

I really appreciate the dynamic between the owners of Seabird and Matt. Especially how Matt just wants to share the joy of eating oysters and Seabird helping in making it affordable for everyone. You can tell they care not just about their food, but as well as making that joy something everyone can enjoy and that's so wonderful of them.
UA-cam didn't bother telling me until recently that this series has been brought back and I am so so happy. I love Steven on Watcher, don't get me wrong, but this show is perfection.
same man, been watching since season one and dropped it sometimes back now its back and its better than ever!
My thoughts:
- Does anyone else rewind and rewatch the cooking sequences to absorb how amazing the food looks? The videography/camera work of this show is gorgeous. That croaker 4:59 omg
- 20:31 STEVEN xD
- The crab cakes made me smile
- After the 20 minute mark you can tell this show has elevated its game. ANDREW has elevated his game. I feel like I just saw the future version of him being the most classy and friendly food critic ever.
- I'm so glad I saved this episode for when I needed a mid week pick-me-up. in 2017 I remember watching these episodes in my empty apartment when I just moved in. I'm still watching these shows for comfort 😌
Please keep making this show!!! It’s the perfect thing to watch on UA-cam before bed, while I’m eating, etc
FACT
I love this series. Please do it forever. Going to different cities to try food you’ve already had on the show is brilliant. No loss in quality because the chefs you find are so creative.
This show has really evolved.
I used to think that they would choose the best ONE among 3 different price points Only. But now I can see that they’re showcasing the best food in 3 different price categories.
Good job you guys! Thank you for showing us the heart, story, and effort put in at every level! What a good way to promote food ❤️✨
God I love this show. I love how this is a longer form episode too. I love all of the extra parts where they talk to the chef's and go and see different parts of the process. This is amazing.
I can't tell if Adam never has food like this or if it's his absolute favorite, but he seemed to really delight in this week's menu.
I can totally appreciate Steven's POV, growing up in Northern Ohio, the closest thing to Seafood you had was Catfish. So it's hard to understand the flavors of true seafood and actually well curated dishes. It's blown my mind being able to travel coastally how incredible food out there is.
i’m so sad we need to wait for more episodes!! i missed this show so much and it was awesome to see the boys together again. can’t wait to see what they’ll bring next season
That 25:22 shot of sunlight on the waves was SO gorgeous and satisfying, kudos to whoever captured that shot 👏🏽
This is one of my favorite episodes! You can hear the passion and dedication from every chef. Much love to Steven and Andrew for making me look forward to every episode 🫶🏼
This formula is so easy to watch. There is something for everyone. The food is attainable. In many different geographic regions. It focuses on the food and the chefs. They teach us stuff. It’s not all about the hosts. They others shine. They tell a great story and they keep us to the end with their picks.
Plus right now there is little to no sponsored content but if they add it I hope it follows the hot ones model.
Adam's beard is getting more epic every video.
Yayyy to a longer episode and Adam getting more screen time! The show keeps elevating with every episode, really proud to watch the growth! ❤
Finally, a restaurant I've been to showed up on the show. I went to Catch a long time ago and it was one of the best seafood restaurants I've ever been to. Glad to see it get some attention!
god I love watching people who love food reacting to spectacular food. you can see the wonder and joy in every expression and exclamation, it's so nice to see that happiness being shared
Always love the respect these three have for food. Just a very honest, pleased reaction - I imagine the creator chefs really appreciate the reverence they have for each dish
As a Wilmington local I’m so sad I missed y’all, but so happy to see such great spots highlighted!! I graduated with a degree in film so it was such a joy to see others highlighting the beauty of my hometown through its food and cinematography!
Andrew and Steven are the "Grits" of this show... Adam is the true crown jewel.
This was so heartwarming seeing the three of you back together for this. Didn’t realize how nostalgic I’d get. Until next year.
I love this show so much. I wish more people could watch it. The cinematic quality is everything. Now with the educational part of sustainability is amazing. Love it!!!
You guys are genuinely happy with what you do. I absolutely love it.
I like how Andrew grew more and more fond of Steven as time went by. I remember at first he didnt even wanna join steven to taste food lol
I think at this point my absolute fave moment is always the Adam Bite. Literally never gets old 😅
This has to be my MOST favorite show on youtube, never have i ever continue watching something for so long.
The best thing about this show is that we love the whole crew and the whole vibe. Thats the only reason everyone watches them, the price ranges of the food is becoming irelevant, we are here for the good time.
How often do you touch yourself?
@@nixonhoover2 yo mama does that for me brother. Dont worry
Honestly, Steven, Andrew and Adam being able to escape buzzfeed with Ryan and Shane has made life so much better
Happy to see Worth It's return! I appreciated that awesome-looking non-alcoholic options were highlighted this season.
I’m so glad you guys got the rights to this show and get to do make it your way now. It’s the best food show on UA-cam and you guys genuinely seem so stoked to make it. Keep up the great work!
Opened up the app immediately after watching on my Xbox because I was so satisfied with this "year end" episode. I only recently discovered this show/channel and I've been devouring their videos non stop. The pacing of each episode is so chill and I almost feel like I'm there with them enjoying the same food they are. I just want to thank the channel for putting a smile on my face and for being such genuine individuals. May you guys continue to make more content and be blessed!
I love that you all are supporting smaller businesses that take pride in sustainably sourcing and handling their food! I noticed that in the recent pork episode and loved that attention to detail.
I loved all the focus on local ingredients, also the focus on different regions this season. Thank you.
I am so astounded by the friendship this series has built with this crew. Great episode and i love to see how ATE puts its own taste on the B-Roll, the edits, and the overall feel. Much more freedom for their imagination!
I still love this show, though I do miss when the price points were a bit more "drastically different". It was great for cheap food recommendations and to quasi experience the decadence of a ridiculously expensive meal. But I'm also glad they're getting to explore so much more as the show has gone on.
Same! I love it this way but it was also fun to see the ridiculous end of the price scale, the stuff I’d never experience first hand 🤣
I appreciate so much how your show has evolved over the years. It was evident from the get-go that Adam and Andrew had a vision for what they wanted to do in showcasing amazing food first in Los Angeles, then around the world. Steven brings so much heart to the show, and the chemistry between all three is fantastic. I especially like that Adam has been mic’d for recent shows, as it feels a little like that finishing seasoning just as a plate is about to be brought out. These are episodes I could watch time and again because of all the nuance that has developed, and it’s just so entertaining. It’s also been great in adding places to my list where I would like to eat and has spurred travel to reach these locations.
I hope that as this channel continues to develop you keep this show as a staple component of what you do. It supports local business and industry, it opens peoples minds, and palettes to new possibilities, and the production values are high, which add to the overall entertainment value. I look forward to seeing where you all go next. Cheers!
I love this show so much!! It's so wholesome, interesting, informative, tempting, and mouth-watering - and learning about restaurants supporting local sourcing and sustainability along the way makes it even better. I love food, I love these guys, and the whole aesthetic is just so calming!!
I just wish the UA-cam algorithm could actually get things right and notify me when there's a new episode available!
$48 is actually pretty reasonable for those crab cakes. Earlier this year the market price for blue crab was like $40/lb, and as a general rule the restaurant price is 2x the cost of the ingredients. I live near the Chesapeake bay and people were going crazy because of the cost of crabs, lol.
This can’t be the last one for the year already!!! Please have longer seasons like you used to!!!!! We need more!
I enjoy this limited run/short run of Worth It! Quality production and you get to travel and explore different places and types of cuisine! Everything looked amazing and now I've definitely bookmarked some places to visit next time I am able to travel! Cheers!
It's cool seeing yall so close to my home. And I'm excited to try these new places, but you guys gotta try North carolinian barbecue.
Somehow my favourite Episode so far - and I watched a lot of Ep´s.. That little departure bits from the usual formular spice it up in addition to the obviously flabbergasting deliciousness of these seafood dishes that even oozes out of the screen..
I've loved this show since the start, and truly, this is one of my favorite episodes y'all have ever done. Can't wait to see where you journey to next.
"Just my Imagination taking hold"
This show, man. What a true delight!
Can we get an exploration of Ukrainian or other Eastern European foods? I’d love to see Andrew show off his culture like Steven did. I also think it would be nice considering what’s going on rn
i really love that you guys have gone from the format of finding the most expensive type of food to finding more affordable options in specific areas. really does it for me as a viewer
This might be the most professional and beautifully edited episode. Fantastic.
Thank you for showcasing my state's local seafood. I spent a lot of time in my childhood at my family's vacation home at Long Beach and the seafood was always such a highlight.
I live in Durham and we go to Saltbox frequently. It truly is as good as it looked in the episode and Ricky is that amazing!
Thank you for coming to NC and trying our seafood! I grew up in Wilmington. You really seemed to get our community’s love for the ocean.
I really hope they are able to keep doing this. I really love how they're highlighting the chefs even more and more. So glad this isn't on Buzzfeed anymore.
I can't wait that long for more episodes, PLEASE make more fast 😢 One of the best shows on UA-cam.
As a German, Hearing an American pronounce "Spätzle" is the funniest thing to me😂
As an American thats lived in Germany, I was looking for someone talking about his pronunciation 😭
I’m so glad I found this series again!
I consider myself lucky to have found new episodes of worth it… I’ve always loved this show… keep up the great work guys…👍👍👍
Every session gets better and better. This one was no exception. So happy this has come back
This is maybe my most favorite Worth It episode ever. Every single food looks delicious. Also, the trio are great as always!
The production on this video was incredible each spot felt like it’s own mini episode of worth it. It’s like worth it inception! I loved how focused and narrowed they got at each place! Brilliant as always!
As a Wilmington, NC local it was so cool to see our local businesses featured. Glad you guys enjoyed!
Never thought I'd see Carolina Beach in the background of a worth it video!
@@ElixirOfEuphoria Same! Pretty sure they were on the north end at some point in the video. I’ve watched the series from the beginning so it was cool to see.
Best series ever - please keep this going for years. It’s the trio everyone has grown up with
Missing part of the World Cup game for this --- WORTH IT. Amazing content as usual :)
This show is the GOAT of food reviews. Please never stop
I’m sad that the season is already done. 🥺 So happy that y’all got to eat well prepared grits. They’re so underrated. Happy holidays!
Best show to ever return, PERIOD! Each plate of food ya'll got was really good :D
I don’t think you understand how glad I am that Worth it is back. I get SO excited everytime I get a notification 😭
Jeez I miss you guys. Come back, sign a 5 year contract and do what you guys do best. What more do you want? You already have a huge following (won’t always be the case as time passes without more shows), you’re a fantastic team (very hard to come by, but all three of you are perfect together) and I’m sure it’s decent money while having a fun time traveling and eating and getting paid (a rare treasure to have).
I love that comparison type of videos! Keep going!
