Great reaction guys!! ♥️♥️♥️ buccees video will be out in the next few weeks 😉 take care 🥰🥰 baby is walking around with grandma 😂
Can't wait! Love your channel!
Remember. In the US, it's perfectly acceptable to take home leftovers. So, don't worry about large portions. Just take it home and eat it later.
When I go to restaurants and order to much it is usually because I will take half of the meal home and have lunch the next day like goong to Texas Roadhouse and ordering the Chicken Fried Steak and a Chicken Fried Chicken with two baked potatoes. I will cut both meats in half and one baked potato will go home for lunch the next day, nothing wasted.
Cracker Barrel is not based on a Texas vibe. The first Cracker Barrel originated in Tennessee.
I know!! I kept thinking there is nothing Texas about Cracker Barrel. 🤦🏻♀️
@lacysnake They live in the UK cut them some slack. 🤔
@@bjishername I was only agreeing with the original comment. Stop trying to start stuff in the comments. I wasn’t being hateful, this isn’t even the Beasley channel.
@@lacysnake It's not that serious. 🤦♀️
@@bjishername it was serious enough for you to reply to harmless comment from 5 days ago. Bye Barbara! 🙄
Cracker Barrel is a shop and a restaurant. They're all over the US . The ones in New England look exactly the same as that one in Texas.
Regarding the large amount of food, it's expected to be taken home with you. I know in some countries its not considered proper to take your food home with you, but here it's expected to last multiple days.
Exactly! I'm disappointed if I don't have leftovers to eat for lunch the next day!
Love James & Millie Beesley! Good people with a pair of good hearts!
I'm a Texas grandma. I have my grandfather's rocking chair. Don't wait till you retire to enjoy a rocking chair. When I was a kid on the farm. My grandfather would pass up sitting in the soft chair or the couch after a full day working out in the fields and caring for his livestock to just sit in his rocking chair and watch the news after dinner. He loved his old wooden rocking chair. And I'm so blessed I got to rock all my babies and grandchildren to sleep in it. I keep the tradition going by sitting in it in the evenings and catching up on world events.
Blessings to y'all from the Great State of Texas 🤠🇺🇸
Okra is usually breaded and then deep fried golden brown. And many people dip it in certain sauce like ranch
I like Texas Pete hot sauce on mine.
As far as the portion size, what you can’t eat just take the rest home. At our Cracker Barrel, even if you want to take the biscuits home they will give you fresh ones.
The Beesley are a great family. I’ve been watching them for 2 years. Happy birthday Leah🎉.
Cracker Barrel IS a chain. Many places in the country
Almost every exit on any interstate. It's consistently good, but some hometown mom & pop places are better. ❤
All those rocking chairs outside Cracker Barrel are all for sale and Cracker Barrel is both a store and a restaurant you have to walk through the store to get to the restaurant
Okra is soaked in milk then breaded and deep fried. It’s also used in Gumbo and soups because it is a natural thickener.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Leah!!! He was wrong that it was beef gravy on the mash, it was chicken gravy made from the chicken drippings. Try the hash brown casserole if you go.
We call the "chips" steak fries. You can pick your sides and how many you want. Free refills on soda but not on alcohol. The Okra is lightly breaded and deep fried. You can choose biscuits or cornbread or both to have with your meal. They usually ask if you want more and what type of jelly you want. Plus what you don't eat you can take it with you. You also can get breakfast anytime.
Okra is definitely breaded & fried. & it's a must to put butter on the cornbread muffins and the biscuits. Also, the chicken fried steak & gravy.... it's best to just dip each bite into the gravy on the side rather than covering the whole meat in the gravy. It keeps each bite crunchy & fresher tasting. Smothered in the gravy, it gets a bit soggy too quickly. 😉🥰🥰
They are just called fries, not steak fries.
@garycamara9955 Where I'm from, we call them steak fries.
Cracker Barrels are usually located just off the interstate highways, so they are great for travelers who don't have time to look around for a place to eat that may or may not be good. The menu is the same, the quality consistent and the prices are moderate.
Cracker Barrel is good at serving home style cooking. I love fried okra(a vegetable). My mother used to cut fresh okra, dredge it in seasoned corn meal(with salt/pepper), then fry it in a skillet with vegetable oil. It was much better than the frozen fried okra you can buy at the supermarkets today. Fresh is better! Enjoy watching your family reactions! ❤
At Cracker Barrel they give both biscuits and cornbread with each meal.
While at most restaurants the free refills are brought promptly, it's usually by the server for your table. But at my very short stint as a Cracker Barrel server, we were trained to go around and fill drinks at any table. So in between taking out your orders, you would grab a pitcher of lemonade, sweet tea, coke, etc and go and fill up any tables. And the same with taking away any dishes. You weren't supposed to leave or come back to the kitchen with empty hands.
Those fries are steak fries. They get their name because they normally come with steak meal. Many restaurants now give you the choice of what type of fries you want with your meal. I love all fries, but steak fries with regular beef gravy are extra awesome.
The "chips" [french fries] are a special thick cut called "steak fries". They're often served with steaks and hamburgers at sit-down restaurants.
They're in the US. It is expected that anything you don't finish, you will take with you when you leave.
Okra is usually breaded and then deep fried.
Cracker Barrel is national chain restaurant, but worth checking out. It has breakfast all day and the hash brown casserole is delicious. The food tastes homemade and everything is great. Don’t forget to shop for souvenirs of old fashioned candy, toys, and clothing. Definitely a must try restaurant.
Yes, if you come to the USA, YOU MUST go to Cracker Barrell. It is great country down home comfort food! You can order breakfast foods all day long as well as lunch and dinner plates! Very good prices!
When you go to Cracker Barrel they serve mainly southern style food, They have specials everyday. If you get a meal like the Beasley's you get a choice of your meat with two or three sides which you can pick. Their meals usually run between $9.00 to $12.00 on average.
Cracker Barrel was first opened in Tennessee. So James is mistaken. It's not a "proper Texas restaurant," it's a proper Tennessee country restaurant... or it was when it first opened. Now its a chain. But people tend to forget that being "country" isn't something that exists only in Texas.
Yep I first discovered Cracker Barrel 30 yrs ago in Florida
I’m from E TN and kept thinking there is nothing Texas about Cracker Barrel. 😬
Cracker Barrel is also well-known for selling vintage looking soft drinks and candy in their “country store.”
I notice a lot of Brits don't put butter on their cornbread or don't film it. Pancakes too, I like butter in between each 'flapjack' and on top, then syrup over the top to run down the stack.
The thing about Cracker barrels biscuits & gravy is that it's not a sausage gravy, it's a sage gravy.
At Cracker Barrel you chose your sides they have fried apples as a side. I love them
Cracker Barrel is a restaurant with a knickknack and souvenir shop built in.
It is a restaurant on one side and an Old Timey like General Store on the other. You can totally buy those rocking chairs and Cat how dare you..."you only needed a rocking chair when you're old" Oh no you don't, ma'am, LOL!!
We do not do healthy green beans in Southern cooking. There was some ham, bacon or bacon grease in with those, lol.
For all that food, you can always take the rest home.
Happy birthday, Leia!! (not sure of the spelling).
Pro tip when in America never hesitate to ask for a to go box. Then the huge portions you recive for dinner can be lunch the next day😉 Also, fried okra dipped in ranch dressing 😋
Okra originated in Africa. We eat it many ways here in the US. We fry it. We stew it with tomatoes. We use it as a thickener in gumbo. I really like it raw.
Large meals are why we ask for to go boxes (or doggie bags) to take food home and eat it later. And it doesn’t matter the size of the glass of Coke if you get refills!
The fried Okra is definitely breaded. The only time Okra isn't breaded if it's stewed with tomatoes or put in Gumbo or other stews.
Can also be pickled or eaten raw.
Eaten at that chain several times. Lovely variety of food.
Refills are on all drinks except beer and alcohol. Most places will ask you if you want another drink and some places will just bring another refill if you have a lot of food left on your plate. They will also ask if you want a doggie bag or containers to take the rest of your food home. I believe those meals are about $12 to $15 each including the drinks without tax or tip.
That is why we here in the US have take home boxes.
I hat to chuckle a little when they said that it was 'proper Texas', nothing 'Texas' about Cracker Barrell. They're the same wherever you go. I think they started in Tennessee.
You wander around the gift shop while you are waiting for your name to be called for a table. They are almost always full of customers.
When I was in high school, one of the senior pranks every year was to steal the statue from the local Frisch's Big Boy and put it in front of the school.
I think you might be confusing Cracker Barrel with Crate & Barrel. Crate & Barrel is a modern furniture, small kitchen appliance store, similar to IKEA. Cracker Barrel is a country style restaurant chain that is located off of the exits of all of the United States major highways. They all are set up the same way with the same menu and the same gift shop as you walk in. The camera shows it very crowded in the store but it really isn't that crowded. I'm big at 6 ft 2 50 lb, and I get through the store easily. It was just the camera angles. Cracker Barrel is nice that it is at the exits of major towns off the highway and that not only can you eat there, but if you have an RV you can park in the back of the parking lot overnight if you need to where they have RV parking.
They're not on highways. They're off of most interstate exits. Big difference in highway/interstate 😉
@@momD612 I apologize, please forgive me. I was using the term highway generically instead of interstate because in Europe they don't call them interstates. But you are right they are off the interstate exits. GB 🙏🏻☝🏻❤️✝️👣👣
@michaelmacdermott6340 ohhhhh gotcha. I thought they called everything "motorway" & not sure if they'd know the difference between the terms we use to differentiate. 😉🤷♀️🙃 most US people don't know the difference in terms, but a foreigner may want to know. 🤣
What is okra? Well, it is a green vegetable that is used in stew or/and best when battered and fried. Here is a history lesson you should know about this vegetable. Okra is a green, tube-like fruit with a mild, grassy flavor. They also are slimy when they are cut the wrong way.
I have a Cracker Barrel that's 15 minutes away and I love it! But local is always best! all you have to do is ask and everyone will give recommendations.
What you do is order your meat then they have a list of about 10 to 15 side dishes and you pick two
There was about a minute of video left. Okra in the south is usually breaded and deep-fried. I love watching you guys react to these videos. Great family, and I hope you have a great weekend.
Hi from empire Alabama , my wife brenda and i have half a dozen rocking chairs on the front porch. I love to rock and drink coffee or tea and read or listen to music.
You’ll see almost everyone takes half their food home in a to go container and then you have the rest for dinner. It’s kind of how we do it. Even if I could eat more I think about it and then I’m no because I’ll really enjoy this for dinner later. Of course some people finish their plate, especially the men. The waiter will usually ask you if you need a to go container without you even saying anything but don’t be shy to ask.
Im a military veteran from South Carolina crackle barrel is amazing especially the breakfast also we have a bucc ees and im not in a big city live 50 minutes west of Myrtle Beach South Carolina its a world wide tiurrist place top ten in world God has blessed me so many ways
They have a list of sides and you get to choose either 2 or 3 from the list.. so she chose green beans.. he chose Mac and cheese.
Drinks in a sit down restaurant usually aren’t gigantic because they will refill your drink as much as you want
Cracker Barrel opened their first restaurant in Tennessee in 1969. Now they are all over the country. I live in southern Maryland and we frequent the place. I don’t know if that is a good thing 😁
Fried okra is coated with flour and then fried. It is good ! A southern food.
The chairs sitting outside the store are for sale to the public. Just so you know. During the cold snowy months there is a large fireplace burning the restaurant.
Now you know why we always ask for a to go box. Fried okra is amazing!!! Love your family
I grew up on Grandmother’s fried okra, coated in corn meal and then fried. Okra almost looks like a pepper with ridges
And fur. But despite appearances they’re neither prickly nor spicy.
I have a Cracker Barrel close by where I live. It is both a shop and a restaurant. When you first step inside, you are in a "country" shop. It is more like a souvenir type shop that is a little on the expensive side. Then you can go further in and be seated inside their restaurant area. It has an old fashion atmosphere. The food is very old fashion and so good. There is lots to choose from.
Pro tip- when you get butter at Cracker Barrel for your biscuits put them on top of the warm biscuits for a minute. It will soften it up.
Okra is a vegetable, and my understanding is it originated in Africa. It can be slimy.
Gotta have butter on the cornbread if you aren't dipping or soaking it in something like beans. Fried okra is awesome. It is breaded and we sometimes dip it in Ranch dressing. Always smother the steak in gravy. I suggest the chicken fried chicken or chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy with corn. Then just mix the corn into the mashed potatoes and dip the steak into it. Peace, Love!!
Cracker Barrel first opened in Tennessee. We have them in Missouri too. The first locations were in the southeast and Midwest.
Here in the, Midwest we bread and fry our okra.
They're hashbrown casserole is my favorite!!
The okra they're eating is breaded and deep fried. If you don't like green beans then don't order them, the green beans don't come with the meal unless you order them with your meal, you get a choice of what sides you want.
Okra, as mentioned is very slimy unless cooked (not steamed) It's very popular here in the south. The best way to prepare it is to cut into small pieces, dip in batter and then fry. Great! You should also try fried green tomatoes.
I love the chicken pot pie at Cracker Barrel.
I've heard about Robert Fico being shot. I pray 🙏 he recovers from his wounds and makes a full recovery 🙏
Me too and I was wondering if Jono & Kat would mention it. My prayers to the man because he is a great leader actually, and the world elites hate him for it. The E.U. and other globalists want him gone, and I pray God protects him. 🙏 I have nothing but respect for his courage & conviction for the Slovak people.
I watch the Graham Family, The Beesley Family, and My NZ Family because I love all these families showing the different scenes from you individual countries while I am here in Texas. Also Cracker Barrel is not only a restaurant nut also has a country store out in the entrance way too for shopping with clothes, toys , candy, and nitnacks.
Mr.H and Friends is good too.
I would unsubscrib New Zealand Family. They are not the good people that they act like. They give copyright strikes to people doing the same thing they do. People like the Graham Family, the Beasley family, lav Luka,etc. And when you call them on it they delete your posts. Now all they get from me is dislike and don't watch their shows.
@@davidhedrick141 Well, your entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to my own.
@@RobertL.JonesJr-hz8vl So you support them trying to get others banned for doing the same thing they do? Seems not so likeable to me. I did unsubscribe. I have watched them for several years, even sent them stuff. But when they give strikes to others for reacting to them, that is just wrong.
@@RobertL.JonesJr-hz8vl So them trying to get the Grahams, the Beasleys, and others, CZcams channels removed is ok?
The Okra was breaded. We fry our Okra alot of the time.
Okra is a pod of seeds from the okra plant. It is a vegetable. It originated from Africa around Ethiopia and Eritrea. It was brought to America by slaves, and was incorporated into southern cooking. It's an integral part of Creole gumbo. The pod contains a slime around the seeds, but when they are sliced and stewed into the gumbo, that slime gets out and becomes part of the thickening for the gumbo. At places like Cracker Barrel they are typically sliced, breaded, and deep fried. The frying makes them not slimy any more. Sliced okra with stewed tomatoes is also a popular dish. The acid of the tomato seems to neutralize the slime. All the talk about slime probably makes them sound unappetizing, but the fact is in the dishes that are popular the slime is not there any more.
Cracker Barrel is one of the best breakfast places ever! So when you come, even though its a chain, its worth it.
Fyi, Bob's big boy is a local restaurant in the Toluca lake area, just outside of Burbank California, very close to Warner brothers studios, and on occasion, every once an awhile you can see a celebrity eating there, also old car get togethers with Jay Leno. 😎😀
You walk through the store to get to the restaurant. These restaurants are in many states, usually just off interstate road exits. I enjoy honey on the biscuits and their chicken and dumplings , green beans, fried apples and Coca cola cake are my favorites. I also enjoy their fried catfish with grits and sliced tomatoes.Also, you should definitely get a rocking chair. LoL
Is it possible that the volume could be turned up on the video you''re reviewing?
You're correct: Cracker Barrel is a store as you walk in, and while you wait for a table. But, the back part is the restaurant. Also, it's named for a feature in old food stores in the South where they kept the crackers for sale. It's one of the best chain restaurants in the country--always quality, and with friendly service.
Though you may think you're old, you're not as far along as some people in this conversation.
What they ate at first was what we call a baking powder biscuit.
Happy birthday, Leia. Thai food is great! Good choice.
Okra is a vegetable that originated in NE Africa, found its way to W. Africa, where it was discovered by the slave traders, and brought to the Americas.
Cracker Barrel is a chain restaurant, you can find them in many locations. Bob Evans is also a chain restaurant that serves home style cooking, both at very reasonable prices. I love them both really. They are much better than the typical fast food chains when it comes to getting a good hearty meal. Great reaction, thanks for sharing.
Kat or Kath (spelling?) looks nice with a ponytail and jersey.
I love rocking chairs. I still have my first one from when I was two years old. That precious little baby chair is 54 years old. 🙂
Many people have rocking chairs and matching bench swings on their front and/or back porches, decks, patios, and inside the house. I love rocking recliners and think they're cool for the baby's nursery.
Cracker Barrel sizes depends on location, but the ones I've been in are pretty roomy. They're sitting by the wall, and the camera angle may cause the area to look smaller.
Be sure to try cornbread with butter. I've seen far too many people who've never had it, but have been told in the comments to make sure they use it.
I hate how slimy raw okra is, and it can also be pretty slimy when boiled, so I only eat it fried. I take the simple route of only adding salt and seasoning salt to the flour, and though not as good, I've eaten pre-battered frozen okra. I've never had pickled okra, unless I was very young and don't remember.
Weird, but I can't stand when people say "mac n' cheese", especially when eating homemade baked macaroni and cheese. For me, mac n' cheese is what you buy in a box, or whatever, has powdered or packets of "squeeze cheese", and you throw in the microwave on mix quickly with hot water on the stove.
Baked homemade macaroni and cheese made with eggs, milk, salt, butter, boiled macaroni, and layered as macaroni, sliced extra sharp cheddar cheese, macaroni, cheese, until you have the amount of layers you want,
deserves some respect. 😊
Large portions are served and we take home what we don't eat. I love their chicken and dumplings,so I usually finish it and sometimes order another serving to take home.
Happy Birthday Leia. We hope all your wishes come true.
We can't wait until y'all get to come to America.
don't forget to check out The Beesleys channel here -->www.youtube.com/@TheBeesleys99/videos
The Okra (at Cracker Barrel and everywhere in the south) is egg-washed and then breaded or floured before frying. The mashed potatoes are how I like them, but we call them smashed potatoes when we leave some soft chunks of taters in them... not just served like potato smoothies! Ha! We always season our breen beans with a tad of bacon grease for the awesome flavor. Cracker Barrel is a great out-of-the-way restaurant that serves "down home" food, and everyone loves them, and yes they do feature a "general store" when you first walk in... it's a theme sort of thing and they sell cool stuff but it's always a tad cramped. *Please don't put fast food in your bodies when you come here... "chains" are NOT where good food is served (sometimes not even REAL food, like McDonalds) 🤮 Also, when you eat or buy anything in metro areas (BIG CITIES) you will pay WAY too much - New York City and anywhere in Calipornia are a few great examples of getting robbed for decent eats or souvenirs. Cheers Guys! 👋
You can buy the rocking chairs at Cracker Barrel. The store is a gift shop made to look like an old time country store. Cracker Barrel was started in Tennessee.
They were talking about this being proper Texas, as a matter of fact, Cracker Barrel started in Lebanon Tennessee and are found all over the south.
Yeah, Cracker Barrel is proper Tennessee not Texas. 😂
It is a restaurant with a general store in it
Cracker Barrel is pretty decent and wont break your wallet. The roast beef is good, slow roasted for like 12 hours or something... I'm not sure exactly how long but it is good. The catfish is solid as well. Breaded okra is a must and honey on the cornbread, glass of chocolate milk too ,..yum.
One thing is that in America, it is the law that aisles have to be wide enough for a wide wheelchair so while it looks cramped and narrow, it legally can't be cramped and narrow.
We have a cracker barrel in a few places near me in East Tennessee and by the way the rocking chairs are cable aka locked up bc they are for sell they sell them from white and black but they do have a few different colors for the military like blue for navy etc and those have a seal of the different branches of military you can also get them plated for remembrance for a loved one for example of your grandfather etc
Inside they have clothes, dishes cookware and quilts for your beds, games such as checkers and board games candy sweets drinks and syrup that you have from the pancakes maple and blueberry, jars of jams, also you can get breakfast at some cracker barrel at anytime of the day just ask for a breakfast menu if you want breakfast they have biscuits and gravy, hash brown casserole , Pancakes oh and weather you get the maple syrup or blueberry syrup they warm up the bottle of syrup they have and so much more
Just wanted to let you know that
They are for "sale", not "sell". Whether, not weather.
Cracker Barrel is a chain restaurant, but I love it. Where I live, the three main food options are Mexican, Tex-Mex, and barbecue. But sometimes I like to break the cycle and go to Cracker Barrel. I think you can’t go wrong by going to Cracker Barrel. Also, just before seeing your video I saw the news that your Prime Minister was shot. I don’t know what his current condition is but I do hope and pray that he pulls through this.
Cracker Barrel is not "old country western". It's "southern country". And it's almost a sin to not put apple butter on your Cracker Barrel corn bread. It's absolutely delicious on hot corn bread with melted butter! Also, the okra was breaded and fried. Okra stays green when it is cooked. It doesn't turn another color.
On any meal you can ask for double of one side and none of another.
Those green beans are awesome.. we'll cook them yes a long time but they will have onions and garlic powder or such in them..
They taste totally different then steamed snappy green beans.. both ways are tasty
In america in most places if your cup is by the right edge of the table it means you need a re fill cause we keep our cups in the middle of the table on top of oir plate. At the edge means refill please
When ordering your meals you choose from several sides. The green beans are not your typical green beans. VERY well seasoned. Love you guys!
Cracker Barrel is chain of Southern-styled food with 688 stores/restaurants. It is not fast food, they actually cook in the restaurants.
Okra is sticky unless you fry it. Then it cooks up quick. Not every one loves fried okra. But I think it is great if it is battered & fried. They said how it is proper Texas. It is proper southern & based in Tennessee. But it is sorta 'Texany'. There is also the Cotton Patch in Texas which is very similar.
It's funny that you mistook "Big Boy" for "Bob's Burgers" because all of the Big Boy's restaurant's that were around where I grew up in the Washington, D.C. area were named "Bob's Big Boy". That was even my very first job, working as a dishwasher when I was 15.
Cracker barrel, Applebee's have such good food in both... Applebee's has excellent burgers all different types. We have these in Pennsylvania.
You guys didn't finish the video! The Beesleys also bought souvenirs as well!
Happy Birthday, future American girl. 😂😂😂. The okra is breaded
I enjoy watching our American food being experienced and Cracker Barrel is good. But I can tell you here in the South, as I'm sure it is throughout the country, the best "country cooking" to be had are in the small "hole in the wall" grill's found in every small town. These establishments are usually family owned and run. And in our area we have what we call Fish Camps. Family owned seafood restaurants. Chain restaurants can be good, but if your looking for authentic and great like granny is in the kitchen, seek out where the locals go.
My favorite family!!!
Hi guys!!! Great reaction. You might like the video Jolly did about "Sweet Potatoes". It's a restaurant in Georgia USA
My son was also a bottomless pit at Garin's age.. it's perfectly normal as they grow in spurts they have faster metabolism usually as well in those years.
It won't make him fat unless he's eating too much junk food and not enough running around outside playing.
They cook green beans with bacon as well
Big Boy's Burgers is an old time burger fast food place (maybe before McDonalds) and burgers were just $0.05. That was a few years ago. So it's an antique (replica I'm sure) sign. The A7, is that the Corsair from the 1970's and 1980's? If so, that was my generation of planes (F-4 Phantom, A-7 Corsair, A-6 Intruder, F-14 Tomcat, P-3 Orion, EA6B Prowler, etc, etc)
The WWII F4 Corsair was always my favorite WWII plane.
Okra is a southern staple - usually in a sort of stew with tomatoes and seasoned really well and sometimes spicy too or breaded in corn meal and fried People also put whole pods (I would say they are more shaped like a small-to-medium sized chili pepper with lots of seeds inside) in gumbo but your wife is right on cooking them awhile to get rid of the slime inside before adding to anything else…Anything that will be boiled I should specify. Not an issue when frying
And this southern gal is NOT down with the crispy/crunchy green beans. I want them cooked in bacon grease and simmered all day with salt, pepper and ham hocks and the bacon. Almost mushy lol
