Evening all! Hope you’ve had a great week and thanks for joining me for the final episode from the latest stateside series…
I hope you enjoy it and I’d love it if you can join me this time next week for a challenge with a hopping prize 🍻
It means the world that you all come back every week, especially right now, so thank you from the bottom of my beard…cuddles, your old mate BMF ❤️
Evening mate ❤
Here for the Beard
How can we not come back each week when you are just so lovely ❤ hope your ok 😊 big fans from Lincolnshire x
1st
Evening beard I enjoyed it can not wait till next sunday
I honestly love how friendly and supportive all of the staff and customers have been on the past few episodes, so nice to see.
They know, that if Beard likes the place and the food, that's a priceless commercial. At least 3,94 million people now know this place exists and the food is good. Can't be bad for business.
Except the first dude who was smiling and looking away all weird
its only like that when hes in america. in europe they are angry to see him lol.
Southern hospitality
That’s southern hospitality for you
Even forgetting the actual competitive eating element of this channel for a minute, the editing, commentary, interactions, humour, music choices, drone shots, and all round cinematography makes this my absolute favourite channel. Class from Beard every time. Oh and let's not forget he doesn't even allow mid-video ads! What a guy!
My sentiments exactly! Adam is great!
Agreed wholeheartedly!!
I never noticed the missing ads until you just pointed it out. lol
Has CZcams got that sad we have to watch this crap over and over and over its ground hog day for the sad can't people see its a fix for god sake
@@stevengrainger2338 “we” have a choice. If “you” don’t like these videos, skip them.
I’ve realized that I don’t even watch for the challenge aspect of these videos, I just like seeing someone genuinely enjoying good food in friendly environments.
Man, you can tell the staff loves their job. They were all so friendly and wanted to be involved with your challenge. Checking to see how you liked certain items. They respect their workplace. That's a great work environment. And you involving them in the challenge by asking questions and such. Just a wholesome video.
there's a reason why people are personable with this man... because he built his business that way. kindness, respect, and friendliness for the win.
Ratings.
@@ojk2085pessimist
Thanks
not really a buisness though is it?
@@djbillye4943 it makes money, he sells merch. Its a business.
I’m from South Carolina. It makes me proud that you made a point to say how friendly everyone is, and also how good the food is. I’ve been watching your channel for a while and saying that’s the best BBQ you’ve had is high praise.
take pride my friend, i love seeing these one's where the staff (or other patrons) are friendly, really goes to show humanity has more good ones and a few bad apples shouldn't sour opinions.
Your videos have been a break from the torture of being in hospital with my little girl. She has had 2 operations, and the waiting is terrible. Watching you eating and everybody being nice and polite has been a release. Keep up the good work Adam.
I do hope your little girl is soon on the mend ❤
best wishes for y'all.
Prayers for your daughter to recover quickly!
All the best for you and your family
Stay strong, friend
My wife and I went to this place on Saturday. The brisket was one of the best things I'd ever tasted, until I had that Soul Roll. It blew my mind. Both us and the couple behind us said that they heard of this place from your video. Keep it up man. I'm a big fan
Thank y’all so much for coming by! ❤
@@SmittysSmokinSoulfood As we were eating, someone else was ordering, and the young lady taking the order asked if they wanted one of those rolls. They said "no", and I wanted to go tell them how wrong they were. Keep it up guys, I've already recommended your place to everyone who will listen
This was the best and cheapest advertising Smitty's will ever receive. I can't believe you ate the giant Lobster roll just the day before. Id swear one would need three days before going on to the next gurgitating challenge. Another successful sortie into the states. Bravo Beard'o.
I don't know how he could do it without a good purging session the night before. That roll was insane. I feel dead for a couple days after a half lobster to myself.
@@inthefade I'm thinking he purges too. Whether he does or not, the man is a beast.
the best and cheapest is in M.A.L.I.N.G.S.I.A..
A day off would’ve been smart 😂
@@Beardmeatsfood I hate to be that guy, but do you actually digest the food "naturally"? Doesn't seem humanly possible to do two of these challenges in two days.
to be honest, your videos are like a breathe of fresh air.
It's like visiting your friends' restaurants and enjoying the food, forgetting the competitive side of eating. The staffs are just like your friends.
And of course getting freebies like shirts, hoodies and gift cards.
I am a teacher and pastor in Kentucky. I Love Sundays for church and then rushing home to watch Beardmeatsfood CRUSH a food challenge, literally love Sundays!
So you're a religious groomer promoting religious nonsense in 2024? Despicable
Wow…sad you obsess to watch gluttony. How shallow our religious leaders have become😢
@@Luke-ip8hsoh stop it. Really? He can enjoy more than one thing you know. You’re the one that’s pathetic!!! Get a life
@@Luke-ip8hs way to go mood buster, sure you are the sparkle at any party. Oh yes, you don´t get invited. Go away.
@@Luke-ip8hs you should look up what gluttony is because this is not it
FYI Beard, courgette is what the Brits call zucchini. Okra is the seed pod of the Abelmoschus esculentus plant, zucchini/courgette is the fruit of the Cucurbita pepo plant.
They have similar textures, but okra is usually slimy in comparison, at least when it's not battered and deep fried.
I don’t believe anything I read in the CZcams comments, but this is either world class BS or 100% accurate.
It's accurate. Not even related to courgette. But it is delicious!!! Deep fried or in gumbo, or pickled, or just plain buttered. So so good.
If you've never had okra, you are either missing out or you aren't.
FYI, unless this is a whoosh, Brits call a courgette a courgette…….
@@TheJayddubyeah, he meant American rather than Brit I think!
Follow you for a few years now and I admire your kindness, top!!! You are an example for many!! Continue the good work and most of all… enjoy what you’re doing!
Lately, the banter with staff, fans, and random people has been great. Thank you for positivity!
Deffo, well said. One of the most natural and authentically charismatic CZcamsrs out there. Big up bmf
One of the best aspects of these video are the people working the food places. Absolutely wholesome wonderful people and really genuine interactions.
So refreshing watching this.
I've just shouted "yes" at the "can you eat mustard with mac and cheese question. Mustard and cheese are a match made in heaven.
I started watching you while I was in the hospital with my son for 30 days last month. You were such a bright spot in my days. I'm so glad CZcams recommended your channel to me, and I continue to watch. The food in this video looked AMAZING!!! Wishing you all the best.
Your videos are something my husband and I look forward to every week.
Keep it up Adam!!
Thank you! Will do!
If you know what I mean..🤫
gotta love how the staff was so polite and super nice!!! and i love how the gal asked if you wanted dessert lol!!! now i’m hungry for bbq lol 🤣
Can always tell the difference between genuine nice and paid nice, they're genuine
@@ianpilkington2037all the europeans are hating thoughout the comments getting jealous. saying its thanks to tips. 😂
but nah, this is genuine. Ive met plenty of tip workers with negative attitudes.
@@Under-Kaoz Not all the Europeans! I am one 🤣
Takes a spot in one of the most wholesome videos, with the appreciation for the food and the staff being top notch.
Adam man! I was following you since 10k. Can’t believe you’re nearly at 4 million. That’s insane. You deserve it 100%. Your content has just got better and better and you’re always changing it up. Miss the days of you eating every dominos pizza on the menu in your house 🤣 but still loving the new stuff. Keep it up bro 👊🏼
As a southerner, love to see a quality representation of what we can offer. Both the food and the friendly faces.
Until you go to the ghetto
I wish we had the same caliber of food as the Southern states
I am a Southerner at heart, the BEST people in America. Smokey and the Bandit, Amen....
Adam, I truly appreciate just how much class you have, you have such a genuinely cheerful, humble and kind personality that I think you really put a smile on everyone’s face while you’re filming your challenges. You’re a great ambassador to the British people while you’re on this side of the pond, stay safe
Ah thanks mate ❤
This is my favorite video now. Everyone is so friendly. Plus they even asked if you wanted desert. Plus they didn't over do the challenge like they do sometimes.
I love the ones where he is able to do live and post commentary on the challenge. Especially on the quality of the food. Making a bucket list of places I have to try!
Adam seems like the kind of guy to go for the "free meal", smash the record, still pay, tip big (even though tipping culture is foreign to him), leave behind the gift card and just be happy with a new shirt and a full belly. We love you, Beard!
Think he uses the toilet before he leaves?
Yep he said on his podcast that he always pays for the meal regardless. I imagine he also tips well, especially in America where it's part of the culture.
I am not at all surprised.
I was thinking the same thing q
Love you too ❤
I love to see when people recognize Beard coming to do the challenges and are super nice about it. It's really cool. And that BBQ did look amazing. Makes me wish I could try it for sure.
Opening drone shot is actually Gaffney, SC which is about an 45min from Easley, SC. I was born and raised in Gaffney, SC and now live in Easley, SC. Smittys is a great spot!
Adam, glad that you got to experience what we call here in the states "Southern Hospitality". That's why people are so friendly and polite. Something southerners pride themselves on, and they do it very well.
Is Missouri considered a southerner?
@@Karvega11 more like widwest, but they're next door neighbors to the south so I don't see how the culture wouldn't cross over. I'm sure the same culture exists there just the same.
They have a southern accent so it counts.
I don't like you southerners or ⚫s
It's that southern hospitality for sure
After living in SC for awhile, you sometimes forget how friendly everyone really is. A visit to New Jersey usually takes care of that. 🤣
Truth! I'm a born and raised NYer and have lived in SC for 18 years. Wish I moved sooner as everything Beard experienced is what I love about living here. Just wish I knew he was in town as the Greenville area is where I consider home.
That was the best one you’ve done.
The staff knew you because you’ve earned your reputation like a seasoned fighter.
Loved the aftermath commentary and shots! You conquer one inhuman eating challenge after another…glad to know the food goes somewhere. 😊
Also, loved that you started with a belly shot…looovvely. 😎👍
I was born in Leeds and lived there my whole life, 6 months ago I moved to Canada. Not only do I find your videos really entertaining but watching a CZcamsr with your accent brings me back home! Thanks for the content!
Glad you like them!
What do you do for work and how old are you?
@@BD.647 I can’t work atm because my visa is still processing (the process is quicker doing it in Canada), I’m 26. I’m in a incredibly fortunate position where my girlfriend is Canadian and her and her family sponsored me to come over and live here!
@@OnlineFlashReview Nice. My mrs is also Canadian. she’s from Montreal.
Want to move out there myself! We’re living in the uk together atm. Nearly completed her visa
Adam's personality and banter with the staff in most of his videos is primarily the reason I find him and "BeardNeatsFood" my favorite food challenge channel. No braggadocios "Going for overall win number etc. etc. and no shoving virtually every different thing into the camera lens before he eats it! Just a real enjoyable experience, making everyone he meets glad to have had the chance.
Katina and randy come to mind 😂😂
I view these videos more as travelogues than I do "eating videos". He doesn't take himself too seriously and almost always just seems to be enjoying the experience of meeting new people and trying new things.
And yes, from a technical perspective, these are well-shot and nicely edited. I always enjoy the drone footage giving an overview of the area.
@@shrider1805 I can take Katina somewhat, but not Randy at all. I love watching Beard for that very reason. No entourage. Just him and his camera and the voice overs are the best part of his videos.
@@shrider1805 its the crowds they get that kill me. Much prefer the chilled out vibe Adam has.
This is clearly the best channel on youtube. so relaxing and filling.
One of Beard’s best. Humorous. Engaging. Friendly.
FYI Courgettes are the same as zucchinis. Fried zucchini is pretty popular across the US, though Okra is mostly prevalent in the south east
I came to the comments to say this but you beat me here😆
Yes okra tastes like courgette but it’s a different vegetable
I hope @beardmeatsfood see’s your comment
Well done! This is exactly what I came to the comments to say.
Yep and they say Eggplant we say Aubergine.
It's always a joy to see the staff returning the love you give to them, and this looked to be an exceptional staff.
My dad and I don't share a lot of interests, but somehow I always find us being amazed by some of the challenges and watching your video's together!
Keep up the great content! :)
Fleming from The Netherlands
Excellent episode! Its always more fun when the food is really good, not just huge. Best to you and the Mrs.!
This is a dude that has scoffed a not insignificant portion of the world. To say this is favorite is a MASSIVE compliment.
There are many things I enjoy about watching these eating challenges, but I think I enjoy your personal interactions with the workers and patrons. You are genuinely friendly and funny which brings out the best in people.
I live in Leeds and I can tell you that us Yorkshire folk are renowned for being friendly and chatty. 🙂
Means a lot mate ❤
This is the first place I would actually cross state lines to try. The food all just looked spot on. Great job Smitty’s!!!
One of the best episodes so far! Love how friendly everyone was and how much you truly enjoyed the food haha
I've actually been here. The bbq is phenomenal. It's true about the brisket. It just melts in your mouth. Everyone was so nice.😊
I'm here watching this and dreaming about that brisket, it looked delicious
The staff are a credit to the business - all looked like they were having so much fun, and what a great place - wish there were more of these types in the UK
Okra is definitely not courgette 😂
@@michami1979 we call it zucchini and yeah definitely not the same lol
"Brits put anything on a sandwich" you had me laughing. My Moms Mom was off the boat from London. And you are so right. Hubby is first gen italian and cannot understand that. Beans, potato salad, spaghetti, oh yes. Just not all at once, lol.
Man i love the murican challenges. People are so friendly and outward going
Cheers to everything you do for these businesses. This is definitely the new “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” of the CZcams generation. Keep it up Beard!
I appreciate that!
@@Beardmeatsfood firm handshakes 🤝, cheers mate
Just wondering, what do you do with the gift cards you get ? Do you leave it behind the counter to pay for someone else's food or do you keep it as a souvenir?
Love the channel.
@@Beardmeatsfood QQ - Do you pay for the meal anyway? Not that you need to cus you beat every challenge, would just be a cool gesture.
@@Drummer1000George I've heard from interviews with other CZcams eaters that many leave a huge tip equal to or a little more then the price of the meal. That way the restaurant can basically break even.
I’m not huge on BBQ, but when it’s good….its GOOD! You know a place is confident in their meat when they’re giving people samples. Safe travels Adam!
Nah. It could also mean that their meat is expired and they need to get rid of it before it starts to stink too much.
@@samuraidoggy I live in Easley and know the people that own Smitty's. You can rest assured they are, in a good way, cocky about how good their food is. These are quality people serving the best bbq in the world and they know it. Just a great restaurant. I did lol at the spoiled comment though haha
The restaurant staff were the nicest bunch of people I have seen for quite some time. Kudos to them all, I hope one of you see's my words! 😄
Love the last bit raw log footage. Awesome video as always. Makes me hungry.
This was just what i needed right now. Thanks Beard for making the day a bit better.
Me too...hang in there bro!
Happy to ❤
Same!
To the chef at Smitty's Smokin' Soulfood: BRAVO! That looked insanely good! 👏👏👏
Every Sunday night, I watch your uploads while I'm at work on break. It really helps my mood for the rest of the shift, especially if the food looks really good lick this challenge.
The staff at that restaurant seem friendly and cool, the food also looks incredibly delicious... without a sweat, as soon as I can, I'll give them a visit with my family.
Everywhere you go in America the staff and customers are so friendly.
Our country is teeming with misery guts.
Those ribs were huge !!!
You smashed that Adam 👍🏼🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cause weeds legal over there
@@jamesmccarron4847 Haha good point 👌🏼
I love the staff laughing at your sandwich creation lol. Gotta love southern hospitality.
When you start eating with your eyes closed as if you are drunk, even though you are not, then you know the food is amazing
Love your videos mate! I'm addicted to it 🤣 Don't stop the good work and best regards from Austria! You are the best 💪🏻
Two desserts to end the trip might just be the most American thing yet. Well done, Beard, glad you got some damn fine bbq.
😂
The ribs and brisket sound amazing. Can't wait to try Smitty's smoking Soul Foods on my next trip.
I’m trying to diet for the Summer but your videos have me feeling a different kind of way… and I’m definitely not mad about it 😂
Thank you for all your humbleness & entertainment brotha! 😎🤙
It's such a pleasure to see the genuine excitement you have for this new journey. Congratulations for taking the step to do what fulfills you. Can't wait to follow along!
I love how polite and real you are everywhere you go, it’s not a big thumbnail and all this stupid stuff others do to pump their videos up for a hype, just nice to watch, have a good one!
That’s me ❤
So fun to watch, everone is so friendly incl. Mr. Beard, stuff is great. Love it.
As a native North Carolinian, it's been really fun to see you make the Carolina tour! Come back for some more!! Lots to do in SC too!!
That was the best value advertising that Smitty's has ever got. A 10/10 from the Ledg...
Who else gives a thumbs up before watching??? I know I do. As usual. Great video sir. You truly are an animal and master of good food. Safe travels. And, until the next one. 🇺🇸😎
I appreciate that!
I think it's pretty safe to say, out of the hundred or so channels I follow, there may be three I do this with. With Adam, I always know it's going to be good.
For Beard i click the like as the intro is rolling as i know i am going to enjoy it
I do
I do this too, on this channel. Never been disappointed, even when Adam doesn't win. He keeps it real, and actually tastes his food.
I don't follow any other competitive food challengers.
that challenge you showcased in the middle of this vlog is one my favs
Courgette, for those wondering, is what we in the States tend to call zucchini, or summer squash. It is not related to okra, but they are somewhat texturally similar when deep fried.
I wish I had beards confidence it’s an inspiration to those who struggle in social situations, and he doesn’t even know it.
Gotta be who you are in this life
That staff is amazing with how helpful and friendly they are and excited to watch BMF eat. When BMF really likes the food speaks volumes about the quality. That chow looked great. Great advertising for Smitty's from staff to food!
Yes I have eaten there on several occassions the beef brisket and beef ribs or cooked to perfection and their wings are the best around❤❤
I love to see the reactions of the patrons and staff😄.
Man, that food looked great. Lovely seeing Beard so happy and the staff/customers so encouraging.
Dang it, Beard. My wife and I lived in Easley for 16 years. We're less than 2 hours away from there now and would have loved to have seen you at Smitty's........which by the way was not open for business when we moved. Thanks to your top notch recommendation we will definitely pay them a visit. You are the best, thanks for all you do and for just being a great human being.
Thanks mate ❤
Dang, I was in Easley last week! Just barely missed you. Love the videos brother, keep up the great work!
Great video as always you smashed the challenge 👍 I really enjoyed this series
Love seeing a restaurant with happy and kind employees. a rare sight where im from...
I think it's great you let the cooks know how good their food is! -- Your appreciation is so heartfelt and genuine --- Surely they appreciate!
Can't believe Beard is bouncing all around me 20 minutes away and I had no clue on his visits to Upstate...now I gotta skip over to Easley tomorrow and try that BBQ.
Open Wednesday-Sunday
@@SmittysSmokinSoulfood Thanks, see you later this week!
I love Sundays and Adam so much!! High praise for Smitty's if you say it's the best BBQ!! I loved their friendliness
That looked like one of the most difficult challenges I've ever seen you try and you still smashed it! I cannot even imagine eating that much in one sitting and it's not just the volume, it's the density, the richness, the oils from the deep frying. "Tis no man, 'tis a remorseless eating machine!"
That was one of the only ones where I was thinking I might be able to eat all that. Especially with how good he said it was.
I went to this place and there where 5 other groups ahead of us that watched your vid bro. You've put this place on the map. Epic awesome food, great staff, and an awesome experience. Thank you BeardMeatsFood for doing this challenge. I never knew there was a place close to me that is great.
We greatly appreciate y’all stopping by and thank you for the feedback!
'Who needs beard oil with bbq sauce?' 😂
As another bearded brother I'm intrigued to find out what beard oil/balm you use when you're not eating bbq sauce actually! 😂
What a wonderful human being and what a lovely staff at Smitty's Smoking Soul Food. Great channel and BMF just wants to make you root for him!!!
A+ as always Adam. Would love a workout split video. You've said you never miss a session and it shows. I think it'd be beneficial for people to see some of the other work you put in to make all this possible. All the love from Atlanta.
Glad to see you really liked this one. I watched your 3 year old BARE Grills bbq video recently and that place gave you a ton of starch and bread and it didn’t seem like you enjoyed it nearly as much as this one. Not to mention the staff here were great too. Awesome job mate!
"That lobster roll I did yesterday" The beard is out here doing these crazy challanges BACK TO BACK
I would have thought he would take at least one day off after the Lobster challenge to sort his stomach out before attempting this huge BBQ challenge, he crushed it though, amazing!
What a friendly staff, and high praise from the Beard for the food. Well done smashing that challange!
I haven’t had barbecue in forever
That looks so good I'm definitely trying that when I'm down there.
It's one of my fav channels now. Love the challenge.
The food looked amazingly good! Your presence is I’m sure greatly appreciated by every single restaurant you get to visit! And your personality, charisma and accent well that’s the cherry on top! Love food so I love your videos. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼❤️
Thank you
Did Adam or anyone notice the TV on the opposite wall had Adam doing another food eating challenge ? You can def see it towards the end when he's chatting with the staff.
haha I thought they were somehow showing this challenge on the tv in the restaurant.
lol. It's not a TV. It's the cameras viewfinder. He has it pointed on him so he can see if he's in frame. :D
I hate to say this as an Englishman but the customer service in America is, in the vast majority of places I have been, absolutely amazing! They seem to care a lot more than anywhere else. It may be because they rely on tips to top up their wages in many states but in my vast experience of America the customer service is just superb.
Love the American videos you do..especially the parts you go too..The costumers and staff always seem so friendly and happy to have you.
Glad you like them!
I appreciate your honesty about how good the food is. And the employees were so friendly too! Congrats on a delicious win!
I've never done a food challenge, but I'd love to try this one.
I love the videos, keep chowing down!
