Will you make a channel that is only Vegas? On and near the strip. We had been watching for years, but aren't interested in trips and the SoCal scene. Seems most are, but you've lost our interest. We liked it spaghetti & meatballs, fried chicken & mashed taters around the strip. Also Asian and Latin off the strip. Just have a channel "best of actual all you can Vegas."
@@rockywooton2614 They live in LA now. So I doubt that will happen. Unless they occasionally decide to hit l-15, and do a road trip from time to time.
It blows me away the prices of everything today. I totally agree with ya'll on the rankings. When Derek got a scoop of white rice I was like "Nooooooo" it's by the pound. I know it was mall court food, but none of it was impressive until those burgers. I can remember 25 years ago Burger King would have 99 cent whoppers and McDonalds would counter with $1.00 Big Macs. Gosh how I miss those days. Great video.
Sign of the times. More and more small eatery's are cutting hours or closing completely in CA. Cost of doing business and hourly wage hike is just too much.
and even with 20 per hour it is very little in a place like LA or miami need to make closer to 30 to afford most apts in these areas with studios being around $2000 nowadays
Hey derek/catherine , great to see a long video again as we were getting withdrawal symptoms, my auntie and uncle live 5 mins away in canoga park from Westfield
For paying almost $40 at Slab, that did not look like a lot of food and that was without any sides too. I would be going thru the drive thru at BK or some other place on my way home.
Thank you. If you come to Austin Texas a bbq place called Terry Black is unbelievably good eats. Also, in Fort Worth, the #1 place for bbq in Texas is Goldie's but it is only opened on Friday, Saturday and Sunday because they do not compromise on their food. They work during the week but are not open until the weekend.
Building a Terry Black’s near downtown San Antonio. Rumors are they are going to have a hotel, bath house & several restaurants. We’ll see what happens.
Two things as someone watching from England, having visited the states many times I really cannot believe how expensive it has become when visiting. It’s becoming extremely expensive to visit. And secondly why do you cut your food put the knife down and swap hands with the fork! 😂never understood it!
It's really sad when 2 places that should have the best BBQ lose out to Shake Shack. Looks like the best food at both BBQ places is the chicken/chicken empanada. Thanks for taking one for the team!
Hi guys on June 14 they just opened a shake shack in Toronto Canada. I’m looking forward to trying it next month. The lines are way too much right now. I was so glad to hear your review and how much you both love it. It’s the first one to open in 🇨🇦 Take care guys😊😊😊
Video great as usual, but Texas BBQ in a food court. I have a hard time seeing that called Legendary. Legendary Texas BBQ is only open until they run out and you stand in lines for a long time to hopefully get some.
Plenty of independent BBQ places all over LA and Orange County to enjoy. Slab is more of a commercial chain establishment that has been failing. Never heard of great BBQ restaurant in a mall food court. Thank you for the review.
Try Bludso's in L.A. and now Santa Monica. They outgrew Compton. They from Texas and the brisket is so tender and smoky. Valet parking for bbq! They moved where people can afford the food. Considered a contend er for some of the best in the country. Even so some of the best Bbq comes from behind bullet proof glass~
The best burgers in the world is FERGS BURGERS IN QUEENSTOWN NZ Open 21 hrs a day always a line down the road - burgers around NZ$25 ea apparently t/o over NZ$1.2 million a week owner will not franchise or sell out was there a few days ago just incredible.
All of those food court restaurants were open during all the mall hours until the $20 minimum wages were started. The $40 plus dollars did not include drinks, sides or desserts. Bring your lunch when you shop at the malls.
yeah people really need to learn to prepare food at home or just stay home more these days derek thought 25 was a good price for 2 fast food burgers and a fry? i was thinking no way would i pay that i can make a grass fed burger with grass fed cheese on a healthy bread for a fraction of that price at home and it tastes amazing not hard to prepare either nor takes long time. I saw some burgers at burger king was 12 bucks now? very crazy people think these are good burgers at these places and worth that price and don't realize what you can do at home
I was born in Hollywood CA decades ago and have never heard of Slab BBQ. I googled it and it showed up on 1 BBQ best of LA locations and even that was listed as permanently closed. Bottom line I enjoyed your posting but that Topanga center looks like a train wreck with most places not opening until 4pm. I'm most curious as to your hate towards Chipotle and that it wasn't even your worst hated location so what is? (nobody's reading so you can post it here.) I mostly enjoyed Catherine in her posting of when she rated all the fast food filet of fishes that was hilarious.
Here in North Phoenix we have 2 AWESOME BBQ places. Hek Yeah BBQ and Little Miss BBQ. Both have outdoor smokers so you can smell the food a half mile away. Both are kind of expensive but the meat is so darn good with large portions, it is worth it. The meat should be good on it's own and adding sauce is only to take it the next level.
❤️ If you're enjoying this video, please give it a like! ✅

Try Heritage bbq in Dan Juan Capistrano, the Smoke Queen in Garden Grove and the Smoking Rib in Garden Grove
@rockywooton2614 ALSO for those of us in Vegas a trip to LA is a regular occurrence, so we’re curious about the food there
.
😂 Derek is an OG!!! He has Catherine opening the door for him. Lmao 💯

Dang, you old like me. Are you old enough to remember 5 cent hamburgers and 10 cent cheeseburgers on Tuesday’s (?) at Mickey D’s ?
This bbq adventure was like watching a tragic comedy. You could almost feel the disappointment in your faces. Shake Shack to the rescue. 🍔🍟
I fell off my chair laughing when the food arrives and there were only 2 thin slice of brisket.
Nice of them to include some brisket in that pickled veggies and condiments platter lol. Thanks for doing what y’all do and taking us along!
😅😅😅😅😅
So glad to see you again!!!
I'm so happy to see you guys I've missed your videos thank you
Welcome back guys.. road trip eating is the best.
I thought I would not watch not being in Vegas, but I am back. Still very entertaining...
Sign of the times. More and more small eatery's are cutting hours or closing completely in CA. Cost of doing business and hourly wage hike is just too much.

As usual, great job! Very informative and entertaining!
My wife and I love your show. We love watching it from Australia. ❤️ you both
Gosh I miss you guys!! Thanks for another great review! ❤
Love you two! Great food review. Thanks for your patience and going to three food places!
They're ARE BACK !!!
Hey derek/catherine , great to see a long video again as we were getting withdrawal symptoms, my auntie and uncle live 5 mins away in canoga park from Westfield
Invest in an old smoker someone is getting rid of and make your own. That beats paying 40 bucks a shot in some food mall.
Would love to see you guys go back to Vegas to review the restaurants and buffet's, they were my favorites to watch!!
For paying almost $40 at Slab, that did not look like a lot of food and that was without any sides too. I would be going thru the drive thru at BK or some other place on my way home.
Right!
at the end of the day mall food will always be mall food
Thanks guys ! Love your videos !
You guys need to come to the southern states to get proper bar-b-que!!
Thank you. If you come to Austin Texas a bbq place called Terry Black is unbelievably good eats.

You two have parlayed your flair for buffet banter into food hall hijinks!
Finally a new video
If in LA, definitely need to try Moo's Craft BBQ, Ray's BBQ, Bludso's BBQ
+1 for Bludsoe's!
Two things as someone watching from England, having visited the states many times I really cannot believe how expensive it has become when visiting. It’s becoming extremely expensive to visit. And secondly why do you cut your food put the knife down and swap hands with the fork! 😂never understood it!
Enjoy your shows. After 41 years, I moved out of Sherman Oaks ..
Sad to see all those closed businesses.
It's really sad when 2 places that should have the best BBQ lose out to Shake Shack.
Looks like the best food at both BBQ places is the chicken/chicken empanada.
Thanks for taking one for the team!
Great to see a new episode ❤
That combo is too tiny guys. Come to Compton ca for real deal food! Topanga Mall is upper class for me!!!
Nice to see yo back brotha. Seems expensive for what you get.......
The Last thing I think when I hear LA is BBQ
So sad to see those places closed. The economy is the worst it's been in decades and people can't afford to eat out.
So nice to see you again!
It came with no sides. Hmmm. At least cole slaw or small mac salad
That was ridiculous.
Next time try Dr. Hogley Wogley Tyler Texas Bbq in Panorama City.
Hi guys on June 14 they just opened a shake shack in Toronto Canada. I’m looking forward to trying it next month. The lines are way too much right now. I was so glad to hear your review and how much you both love it. It’s the first one to open in 🇨🇦 Take care guys😊😊😊
Oh good! I was worried Catherine took over the channel and hid Derek!! 😆😆
Because of one video? Give me a break.
@@ngs5554 How was the tent?
Very spendy for what you got. It’s a mall food court. You’re not going to get Texas Bbq - but you’re paying Texas prices. I’d pass
I've not eaten at a BBQ place in DFW since 2004. The prices were too high even then. Now I smoke my own brisket and ribs.
That brisket looked disappointing. No brisket should ever need sauce.
Some people like it with sauce
@@swag94556 Good and properly smoked brisket doesn't need sauce.
@@PhyuckYew each to they own
That was good exercise! Tour du monde! 😏👌🏼
That lil bit for 40 bucks 😢
I agree the chicken looks good. no bread slices?
The whole place looks like a Moroccan vacation resort out of season. A lot of places locked up, hardly any people….looks depressing
You guys should travel to Texas try some bbq ....
Video great as usual, but Texas BBQ in a food court. I have a hard time seeing that called Legendary. Legendary Texas BBQ is only open until they run out and you stand in lines for a long time to hopefully get some.

Do you guys live in California now or just spending more time here? Love seeing you two.
We live in LA
Prices are outrageous. In the past five years the only food I've eaten is home cooked because I'm retired and have the time and like to cook.
California is in freefall and to see this beautiful mall mostly empty is sad. Everything there is hurting except the tech giants of course.
I want to go just for the Sprinkles vending machine!
That mall looks so beautiful, that BBQ there is not worth it considering the price.
Great video.
Missed u guys ❤
Loved your fun food review! Also very refreshing to see how much you both slimmed down!! Very Kool!!
The best burgers in the world is FERGS BURGERS IN QUEENSTOWN NZ Open 21 hrs a day always a line down the road - burgers around NZ$25 ea apparently t/o over NZ$1.2 million a week owner will not franchise or sell out was there a few days ago just incredible.
No sides?
I would have walked out. If it's not busy it means foods just sitting around
Bears is where it's at, they won't short change you like they did, and you go up to the counter and order. It's like IRL bbq!
In my opion that was trash for the price brisked is hard to mess up pn a smoker.
$40 for a small tray of Bbq, rip off
I enjoyed this whole trip to the mall that second place you ate at that looks so dry
Fair dinkum unbelievable 😂😂❤😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Im in San Antonio TX, now im craving "real bbq" 😊
Derek RICE really???? Hello from New Zealand keep up the good work
not the metric system....quarter pound is only 4 oz.
Just from looks alone, that is a sad BBQ platter
If they severed that crap here in Texas they would be out of business in a week
But all bbq has to be "severed" before it's served to the customers.
Miss you guys
Don't look that good..
Doesn't 😮

oh my goodness! we miss you guys!
So expensive . . .thanks Bidenomics/ Kamalanomics!
glad to see you both, but this place you can keep. Missed your videos, but this place is way too expensive!
Welcome to LA
Y’all took Kendrick’s minivan to the spot?
That seemed expensive for all you got! Mean portions at Slab.
I love Shake Shack. I just wish there were as many in the UK as there are Five Guys.
With the outrageous prices and poor quality of food when eating out, it’s better sometimes to cook it at home. Miss you guys and your videos!
Please critique Burger King one day!
When I lived in California I would often take my kids to the local mall for dinner. There’s no way to afford that now!! 😢
You need to come to Kansas City, Missouri to eat the Very Best BBQ..nothing compares to our restaurants here!!

Quarter pound brisket looks like a kids meal🧐😒
Come on guys, with all the places to eat in LA you pick a food court in a mall?
I think there are better place for barbecue in LA!
What happened to the 2 of you used to go to IN restaurants in Las Vegas? Only the top. Now you're going to the bottom of the barrel.
So, okay BBQ, but not as good as the expectation from the name Slab.
Any chance you guys find some better BBQ places in LA?
Luv yall content for good authentic Brazilian go to fogo de chao
Everyone seems be using 360 camera view while driving.
Nice video thanks but go back to Vegas is better ❤
Wow it really is a SLAB of meat
by the title I thought you was going to moo's craft bbq or bledsoes bbq
The prices are insane for that . Looks terrible
Here in North Phoenix we have 2 AWESOME BBQ places. Hek Yeah BBQ and Little Miss BBQ. Both have outdoor smokers so you can smell the food a half mile away. Both are kind of expensive but the meat is so darn good with large portions, it is worth it. The meat should be good on it's own and adding sauce is only to take it the next level.
45 minutes?
We have shakeshacks In my area and I don't like their burgers
I think their cooks need to go to BBQ school.
It seems Slab ain’t it. That is 100% embarrassing. That’s BBQ?
