If you're in east TN, pretty much the only places that DON'T look sketch are big chains like Chili's. I thought that catfish sandwich looked baller, and I could damn sure handle the heat. The breakfast joint looked all right, but that white gravy is what some folks call sawmill gravy. It's not sausage gravy, which is usually gonna be a bit darker. It's basically a bechamel with maybe a little bacon grease. It adds moisture and substance, but it's nothing to write home about. It's meant to accompany something that's already very savory, like a chicken-fried steak.
Yeah I thought the breakfast and lunch place looked pretty good and they were not liking it but I’m pretty used to that kind of food also living around the Virginia Tennessee border
At the second spot, did this dude order mac and cheese, but was given green beans? And how did they not notice??
I was thinking the exact same thing. Had me thinking I heard his order wrong.
I literally forgot about that till I saw this comment.. and he legit loves Mac and cheese like how do you not remember you didn’t get your fave side 😅
I mean Brennan also ordered Chicken Tenders and was then shocked when the chicken turned out to be.... tenders.
I can’t stop laughing I love how Brennen said Bologna 😂😅

I couldn't agree more. Balogna just doesn't sound right and when I talked into the microphone and said balogna it came out as baloney. It just sounds better 😂.
love these sketchy restaurant videos ... I always wonder when I see a restaurant like that what it's like!
Pink meat is fine if you ground your own beef (which they probably do) if you buy ground beef from a store you should cook it al the way
I dine out quite often and find the run down places often have the best most authentic food most most of the time. All my favourite spots are what they would call sketchy and id recommend coming to Toronto Canada one day, endless options here.
Chez Nous in Timmins ON, though their Quebec style Poutine is up there...
Absolutely.. when they spend less money on how the place looks, they have way more money to spend time on the food and how much love is put into it
I find that many of these sketchy looking mom and pop restaurants usually have the best tasting food. Everywhere else near me is either some crappy chain restaurant or some bougie pretentious hoity-toity cafe/bistro type places owned by the hipster/yuppie types that charges $40 just for a burger. If you're worried about the food safety here's a little tip; if the bathrooms are disgusting, the kitchen most likely is too.
These “sketchy” restaurants are usually the best places to eat! We go to a diner where the owners “office” is in the middle of the restaurant lol
Not them calling small lowkey restaurants “sketchy” lol.
That spaghetti 🍝 looks like the one I would get back in elementary school lol
The way you said Bologna then said i never seen it spelled like that😂😂😂😂
9:30 this guy cleaned his mouth with bread 🤣🤣
0:57 The way I choked LOLL 💀💀
The catfish sandwich looked delicious. I would visit just for the fish. Lmao 😂 🤤
I love how they mentioned "I heard pink ground beef is bad for you" and they proceeded to destroy the burger LOL
@@mypronouniswtf5559 If its old shit meat yeah but if its fresh you can eat it raw
@@danielhazle7647it honestly depends on the quality not just the freshness
I know yall still learning, but real southerners eat everything together. You didn't poor gravy over biscuits and hash browns in first meal. California folk judging southern breakfast needs work.mmlove yall
Food still needs to be able to stand alone and be good, to be considered good. Sauce or gravy should not be a binder, but an addition.
As a huge fan from South Africa, I'd love to see yall try places that serve African cuisines
At lunch he asked for mac n cheese but got green beans
Brennen try 24 hours korean food for a change hahaha love yahh.....❤❤❤ I realy love watching you and Jake together he is a sweet, brother🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
In Australia, a lot of us say the word "dodgy" which has the same meaning as sketchy. Love the videos.
You gotta at least bring back the 1 star reviews, those ones were too funny. Especially since you two are exploring a new place.
I kinda like how they put the condiments on the side. I hate when I get take out and when I get home my lettuce and everything is soggy from the heat
Brennen! You should do a video of going to food places you and Jake LOVE for 24 hours!
part 3😂😂we love it
I LOVE the restaurant reviews ❤
2nd place really loved making food. you can tell they tried so hard, i bet they are really really good.
Ty for being consistent 🤎
Jake using the bread as a napkin after he ate that coleslaw hahah now thats inventive 😂
Thank you for going to Boltons havent had or seen it since i moved, try Lil Cee’s and Joey’s pizza next please (be sure to bring cash)(born and raised there so got plenty more places if you need em)
Love your reviews and how you all think the food cost are so low. Now I thought California cost were crazy high😆😆
Being from tn and now live in California, prices are hella cheaper back home in tn, but the pay is lower
Brennen...darlin' EVERY 👏 GOOD 👏 COOK 👏 KNOWS 👏 A LITTLE PINK 👏 IS ON POINT 👏 😅
Y’all are making me want to cook more ❤
Absolutely love your content! So far I've watched almost all your episodes.
I was just in Bristol last week. That's where all us small town folk go. 🤣 Btw you're supposed to break up the biscuits and pour the gravy over, then add your own salt to taste. 🤣 Those "old people" diners have great hamburgers, usually..js 🤣
You guys actually came to my hometown! I live here in Bristol so awesome to see you guys came here, would have been great to meet you!
Love it guys! Come over to Maryville TN and check some of these sketchy places out.
You guy’s should come to Oklahoma City! I know just the places to recommend! Del Rancho, sherries diner, jimmy’s Café and fried pies, Coney Island, cattlemen steakhouse & so much more! So come through!
Please rename this series to “does the book match the cover”. At least something along those lines. These places aren’t sketchy and the people are super nice. Or just say sketchy looking restaurants. I don’t care wether they’re sketchy, I just want to see food from quirky places you wouldn’t necessarily gravitate towards to.
Cajun baked catfish, steamed green beans and coleslaw...FIRE
Soooo EXCITED for this video!😍
I used to have a sketchy restaurant that closed down and turned into a dispensary. I have another sketchy place and the food was very underwhelming. There was a lot of elderly people there as well. The elderly must have no tastebuds after they get 50 yrs old. The place was old from what I saw. It’s called Uncle Sams in Bristol Connecticut. There are a few others that were sketchy but the food always ends up being ok or underwhelming.
first spot looked very clean and nice, also the food seemed good to go and the prices were awesome!
how did no-one notice the huge ass wasp nest just chillen right behind them at the second restaurant? 🤣
Jakes enthusiasmFor the win and his singing 🅰️
BRENNEN I WANT TO SAY MUCH LOVE, AND GOD BLESS I LOVE BEING A PART OF THE TAYLOR FAM. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Honestly, most “sketchy” places serve the best food, just gotta go to the right ones 👌🏼
i miss the skectchy motel vids, now that you have moved, you definately should check it out
34 for that?.... Bros got ripped off
These kids must come from the burbs, all of these places look like regular local spots haha, the last one got me. Fun video though.
The most sketchy thing is you dunking the biscuit in gravy. Cut it in half,and pour that gravy over both halves lol
Awesome video keep the sketchy food videos coming the bacon 🥓 burger 🍔 looked the best I would have added mustard and hot sauce tomake it awesome the fries looked really good quality 👌 🤘
Definitely try Columbus, Ohio... We have a huge variety of restaurants, and a lot of sketchy restaurants too lol. The ones that I have tried have been on point, but i need to try more 😭. The most interesting thing to me is the different cultures within culinary, and how they present themselves within their cooking and community. That's why Columbus is so special... Because of the variety!
the sad thing is "sketchy" is considered low income area's when most of them have amazing food for cheap that people can afford
*eats raw burger* :
“It’s the best thing we’ve had all day”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where I live, sketchy restaurants are the best places. There's a place called pizza shack and they have a buffet (don't ask me why) and it's pretty good, their pizza is actually good too
Y’all need to review Stellians in central city ky they have a 8lb pizza and big milkshakes it’s about 1 hour n 45 minutes from Nashville! Cabin pizza in grand rivers ky is also amazing lots of sight seeing around there good place for summer lake days❤️
What you’re supposed to do is POUR the gravy over the biscuits lmao it’s ok tho good review 😂
Bro's I love yells channel and content. I Live in Bluff City and I've eaten at the dinner all my life let's be straight Bluff City Dinner Sucks!!! I wish I'd known yall was in town I would have took or pointed you in the direction of some hidden gems. Thanks though for coming to Bluff City we aren't even on the map. So much love guys!!
Y'all need to come to Alabama where there are small country fried restaurants right off the back roads.
Buffet of all kinds of Southern food.
Don't forget to fill up on their "Sweet Tea".
The burgers look good!! Yes burger can be pink at some places they ask how you like your burger. Don't worry you will be ok lol
Y’all need to take a road trip to Alabama. First, stop at Trowbridge’s Ice Cream and Sandwich Bar in downtown Florence. Then, Momma P’s in downtown Sheffield. Next, Champy’s in Muscle Shoals. Lastly, River Bottom Grille
Love y'all content. Keep going boys eat some chitlins
Love the restaurant reviews…you guys are awesome …Come to Bakersfield Ca
Best UA-camr everrrrr!!!
You need to come over here in Montréal, Québec, Canada and try REAL Poutine, Real Schwartz Smoked Meat, Real Beaver Tails, Tourtière, Pâté Chinois and Real Cretons ;) And I would recommend comming in February when there is 1 meter of snow all around and live thrue a real snow storm. If you do, then you can unlock the Cabane a sucre. Take some notes i'm a real Quebecer hahaa!! A++ brother
@campingfr Merci, maintenant j´ai envie de manger A la Banquise et chez Schwartz XD
🔥🔥🔥
Gotta break the Biscuits up in small pieces and pour the gravy over. If you want it to hit even better, put some hot sauce on it! Want to send it over the top, get fancy, and bring some Truff hot sauce with you, and it will go over the top!
Dinner looked fire 🔥
Brennen! kitchen nightmares is coming back i look forward to those reviews 😊
❤hyped up to watch each new video you upload thank you always ❤
That dinner place didn't even look sketchy lol
It's like going to a sketchy bar back in the day and then having a blast while being there.
Can I make a suggestion? Next time put the fried egg on top of the hashbrowns so all the runny yolk sauces them up.
cant wait to see you guys traveling around the world trying all diferent kind of food!!!!
You need to come to Chattanooga for a few days, and try the best rated restaurants as well as do a local recommendation! It's fire here, it's a very progressive city in TN only 2 hours away and is a culinary, beer, tech, music and arts style city.
You are getting so close to my home town!!!! I have been a fan for so long. Hopefully I am able to see y’all one day soon.
I like that you guys are down to try new spots lol even if they look sketch 😂
I laugh when Jake sees mayo and says no, yet I have seen him eat sandwiches and other things that have mayo.
French's ketchup is where its at, they just be good people.
As a 6"2 150lb lanky guy, I've always had issues eating and with my appetite but your videos help me a lot. Thanks dude
Biscuits & Gravy.
You should have taken the bowl off the plate, set up aside. Then, half the biscuits ( like open them up). Then, pour the gravy over the biscuts. This way, your biscuits will s o a k Up that gravy.
Put pepper and hot sauce on them. Enjoy
Based off restaurant work and working at a burger joint myself. Pink meat on a burger is generally considered safe, so long as it was cooked to 165 (for preground meat) or 145 (for freashly ground meat)
Yeah, if you ask me, the best burgers are red/pink on the inside. Medium rare is the way to go on burgers and steak.
Technically it doesn’t have to be fresh ground beef, for you to eat it at lower temperatures. The only times we use really fresh meat Is for tartare. And 165 is basically a well done. Medium is my favorite temp still juicy yet pink but technically safe
You and your brother and the girlfriend from Nashville, makes my day in my ear at work
You're my favorite person Brennen! I love you! Your videos are amazing! 💖💖
When I was 15 Im now 44 I worked at a sketchy restaurant. It was a restaurant/gas station. I was a bus boy(bus girl) and dishwasher. It was a very small place. We had a full menu and the cooks was great. The food was 85% Homemade. We had all you can eat BBQ ribs or catfish on friday nights. Sunday was all you can eat Homemade chicken and dumplings. Looking back it did look pretty sketchy but I loved working there and I loved the food.
Bluff city diner has great lunch specials!! So good!!
Look at Mikes Place in Kent OH, unique restaurant, and almost anything you can think of on the menu!
Thank you both . I was having a really hard time in life getting happy again . This video I cheered me up excited too watch more . I love the shirt . Legends never die “ is that bram stokers Dracula 🧛♂️?
Lol..omg..Jake with the hot sauce...lol..I don't even know how I found yals channel but now I can't stop watching..
putting hot sauce on a sandwich is wild
Bro you should go to Puerto Rico for a vacation and try all the authentic foods while also being in the Caribbean with beautiful beaches and mountains!!
If you decide to go
(Piñones & Guavate is the place to go)
Pinones is on the beach with street food kiosks and all the best fried fritters
Guavate is in the mountains with a street known as the pork highway and known for whole roasted pig, rice and beans a more!!
You won’t regret it!!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Thanks for the video.
Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!
You should do a series where you get the same food but from 3 different places. Each place you go to has to be an increase in value ( $,$$,$$$ ).
You should take cowboy on one of these adventures but take him to odd restaurants for 24. I know he doesn’t eat a lot so just make him take a bite or two at each place
Your definition of sketchy appears to be locally owned, neighborhood places. These all looked great to me.
I was thinking the same thing. Smh
city boys for you 😂, they scared of everything, and have no idea what good food is
I was expecting them to be in the hood at someone’s house 😂
lol exactly city boys
They probably shit their pants if they see a pit bull named princess lol shit sketchy to me is the front filled with thugs and crakheads lol non of these looked sketchy at all lol
