"no condiments" means no ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise etc, it doesn't mean no fries. Also, being from Austin Texas, just know that the Salt Lick is not our best BBQ restaurant.

You should see Dinner, Drive ins and Dives with Chef Guy Fiery. They even show you how the food is made. My mouth waters everytime I see an episode. I'm hungry now too y'all. Lol
I was eating at a restaurant featured on the show (Gloria’s Cafe in Culver City, CA) at a quieter time of day and this couple burst in with luggage straight from airport. They’d been watching the show on the plane and saw the restaurant and googled and realized how close it was to the airport and instead of stopping at their hotel and dropping off luggage they went straight to the restaurant. They were overwhelmed with the large menu and saw me and went- “ok I know what Guy featured but you don’t look Mexican/ Salvadoran, we’ve never had real versions of either what do you recommend?” They loved the food. I don’t remember what they got just that it was a hilarious moment. I think they got mostly what was on the show. I remember explaining the difference between a wet burrito and a dry one though.
Over 10 years ago my friend from England visited me for a month and in that time experienced so many "firsts" most of which Americans take for granted like PBnJ and meatloaf, chilidog , Mexican food, mountain dew and root beer, drive in restaurant and drive in movie the same night. His mother told him " you know its not going to be like the movies" he told me after. " Its exactly like the moviies" im glad america has something to offer besides Disney
There's never too much food. Whatever you order you can take the rest home for lunch the next day! It works out brilliantly! Recky, don't worry about Mexican food being too spicy because there are so many dishes you can order, pretty much spiceless, and you get different salsas to try. You can really eat there without burning yourself, the heat is up to you! If you ever get to the States, we'll line up to feed you! Think of the money you'll save!
Exactly! I can never understand people freaking out about large serving sizes we get, acting like you MUST eat every bit of it right there. I love being able to have an extra meal- and with that you can factor in the price of the food is to eat two meals!
Well. I was raised by my father to eat up what i had on my plate. And so was Carol. This is how we were raised. And ill tell ya, no matter how much you cried and begged... EAT up.
😂 😅 This is Too True 🤭 Anytime You Two Want to Sit Down at Our Table - We'll Be More Than Happy to Stuff You'All like a Thanksgiving Turkey ♡ then After an "Evening Stroll" bring You Back to the Table to Stuff You All Over Again with Various Home-Made Desserts Topped with Ice Cream, Whip Cream or Both with Chocolate Sryup always on Hand 😅 🤗
@@reckyNcarol LOL! Same here! And my mom still will not eat peas because she had to sit at the table for a couple hours until she finished her peas when she was little!
Yes! My husband works in a Tex-mex restaurant and they don’t make it spicy unless you ask for it. They can definitely make it spicy but when he brings home food at the end of his shift (chips, salsa, queso, grilled chicken tacos, guacamole, Chile rellano… none of that is spicy. True Mexican food uses ingredients that Tex Mex doesn’t like tamarind, spicy chiles, etc… but it all good to me. My three year old loves the queso with Serrano chilies.
Actually, it's more related to the chemicals "they" put in our food and water. Not to mention lies about foods we should eat (food pyramid, etc.) and when (breakfast isn't necessarily the most important mean of the day). Stick to grass fed/finished meat, pastured pork (not commercial slaughtered ones) fat (yes! Fat is good for you! ), eggs (pastured of course with deep orange yolks) and for heaven's sake, do NOT use seed oils, corn syrup, soy of any kind. Olive oil is fine, as is coconut oil and pastured lard and tallow to cook with. Avoid fast food and you should be feeling better in no time.
Another factor is cheap food like McDonalds is more affordable for people who can't afford better. For them, sometimes making it from pay check to pay check, it's cheaper than the grocery store.
chicory is a bitter green leafy veggie, its roots are dried and mixed with the coffee. in the old days it was mixed as filler to extend the coffee to serve more ppl. the chicory adds its own unique bitterness to the coffee.
Having lived in New Orleans, I have had many a cup of chicory coffee; from the wonderful coffee at Cafe Du Monde (half coffee and half boiling hot milk) to plain chicory coffee brewed so strong that it is as black as midnight (disgusting, no matter how much milk you add when it looks GRAY).
@@janetsmiley6778 hubby & I made a trip to the Gulf Coast. Going to Cafe du Monde was the ONLY place I wanted to visit in New Orleans. I was not disappointed ☺️ Best coffee ever!
"Chicory coffee is made by roasting, grinding, and brewing the roots of the chicory plant. It tastes similar to coffee, featuring a flavor that's often described as slightly earthy and nutty. It's used either on its own or mixed with coffee to complement its flavor."
people with tree nut allergies are also commonly sensitive to asteraceae/compositae family, which include ragweed, daisies, marigolds, chrysanthemums, and CHICORY. so be careful recky.... also, chicory coffee tastes like mud to me. lol.
Someone said it during the livestream yesterday -- we need a gofundme to get y'all here for a few weeks next year. You have to come to Charleston, though! The food here is incredible!
El Charro is located in Tucson. It’s the oldest still operating restaurant in Tucson. It opened in 1922. They dry their beef for carne asada on their roof, just like they did in 1922. They have special permission from the Health Dept. to do this.
As a proud Puerto Rican, you guys would def love our pork and possibly or other items. We love feeding friends, and sharing our blessings..."barriga llena, corazon contento" which means, full belly happy heart
Stone crab is superior imo to any other. Very sweet, delicious and rich! In addition, they preserve the crab by only clipping on claw and throwing the live crab back into the water.. thus, the crab lives to regenerate the claw! Love you guys!! xo
Chicory is a plant with edible salad leaves. During coffee bean shortages, they would ground up the roots of the plant and use it as a coffee substitute or they would blend the roots with real coffee to make it go further. In any case, the fiber in the root breaks down quickly (too quick) and is well know to cause bad gas. It is very cheap and makes horrible coffee.
I think that Terry Black's should have been the Texas vote! Also, I used to work at a cocktail lounge at a Holiday Inn and we had a taco bar every Monday through friday for happy hour. Happy hour lasted 3 hours! 😅 it was free as long as you bought at least 1 drink. All you could eat and you made your own so you could make them as meaty as you liked😁
Just to tease you a little; we live 45 minutes away from Salt Lick in Texas! We go there for our birthdays and anniversary! If you ever come to Texas, we’ll take you there 😊 love from a Texas Dane! ❤️
I live in North Carolina & I've eaten at NC's favorite restaurant was Lexington's BBQ. We would stop everytime we traveled to Gatlinburg Tennessee to stay in a Chalet on the mountain side. It was so good I still miss it, it's about 4+ hours away from me but we all cleaned our plates the FOOD WAS SO AWESOME & the Desserts were FANTASTIC also. We didn't have left overs but we all bought extra food to take for the rest of the trip it was so good. Then of course we couldn't wait to stop there on the way home & pack their extra BBQ in our cooler to take home & we got sad eating the last of the BBQ & all got happy knowing we would be going to LEXINGTON BBQ in Lexington North Carolina-THE BEST BBQ I'VE EVER HAD!
Having traveled all over america, I can tell you that some of the best places to eat are what we call the mom and pop restaurants, places you will never hear about unless you ask locals. Or you can tell by how crowded it is, 1: it is crowded at normal eating hours say lunch or dinner its good. 2: If it's busy at off hours ( say 10-11am or like 2-4 pm) it's amazing.
For Florida Joe's Crab Shack does NOT kill the crabs. As they catch the crabs they remove "1" claw and return the crab back to the Ocean so they retain a claw that allows them to defend themselves. This maintains the populatin and supply of crab as the missing claw "Grows Back".
No Recky is talking about sides( side items) where condiments are the sauces & etc... added items u can get to go on the burger like mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, salsa, hot sauce, etc... those are condiments. That original burger restaurant has invented the burger on regular white bread, so they still make the burgers the original way before the burger bun was invented. 💜😍😻🙏
Recky, make sure Carol doesn't watch Southern foods you need to try before you die. or you both will be booking a plane flight to the US for a new show called "Recky and Carol's not a food tour show." lol
Despite my decades in Minnesota, 'Juicy Lucy' wasn't ringing a bell. Learned from Google it originated at a place walking distance from where I grew up in the Minneapolis area. Who knew! We frequently bbq'd burgers with cheese inside (had a gadget that helped make burgers from two patties, with added ingredients). I'm not one who eats out but the US certainly doesn't lack for variety...or quantity when it comes to serving sizes. Portions, whether eating out or at home, were more sensible decades ago (and we were much more slender as a result).
Since Recky likes peanut butter, he should try one of the local burgers here that is called the Goober-Burger (yep a burger with peanut butter applied).
A Skyline 5 way starts off with spaghetti, chili, beans, onions, and then finishes off with cheese. Then your choice of sauces. You can replace the spaghetti with a coney dog, add mustard, then the chili etc. Eliminate the beans, eliminates a lot of mess on a chili cheese coney.
They could have gone with Huber's Cafe for Oregon (or a dozen other places). Amazing location, been around since 1879, has the best Spanish Coffee you will ever drink and it's like being in a different era altogether. Try the turkey, cream cheese and cranberry sandwich if it's on offer.
Chicory enhances coffee taste and aroma by imparting a slightly woody and nutty taste to the coffee. Native to Africa, Asia, and Europe and brought to the U.S. in the 18th century, chicory (AKA chicory coffee or New Orleans coffee) is a naturally caffeine-free root that's roasted and cut up into a form that's popularly used as a coffee substitute or addition. With a dark, slightly sweet, and rich flavor similar to roasted coffee sans caffeine, it's a great option for those who are sensitive to the buzz of java. The chicory-infused coffee sold at New Orleans staple Café du Monde - often served with steamed milk and made to enjoy alongside fried beignets - boosted the reputation of chicory coffee across America. Today, most locally-owned New Orleans coffee shops mix their beverages with about 70 percent coffee and 30 percent chicory root. In addition to its lower caffeine content and great taste, chicory has a high amount of inulin. This prebiotic soluble carbohydrate might help improve gut health, reduce cholesterol, and control blood sugar.
Chicory (a weed native to France and Northwest Africa) coffee grew in popularity in 19th century New Orleans during the Civil War when a Union naval blockade cut access to the ports, causing a coffee shortage. Since then, New Orleans has capitalized on its love of ground roasted chicory root coffee.
My husband proposed to me at St. Elmo’s in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana ❤️ their shrimp cocktail is packed with enough horseradish to clear your sinuses for the next 6 months
Chicory = coffee substitute Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is an herb native to Europe and Asia. It's also grown in the United States. Chicory root contains inulin, a starchy substance. Chicory root has a mild laxative effect and decreases swelling. Chicory is also a rich source of beta-carotene.
Louie’s lunch in Connecticut does serve fries. They serve the burger with cheese and onion. No condiments means no ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise. I grew up in Ct. and have never eaten at Louie’s Lunch, but everyone I know from Ct. has….
Chickory coffee was invented during the American Civil War when the Southern troops ran out of coffee. And they could not get more because Northern Army cut off supplies to the south. Chicory was used as a substitute for coffee.
There's a giant pit like that right here in my town of Princeton Illinois the restaurant is called prime quarter where they cook whatever meats u want or they allow u to cook it anyway u want
Don't Know About Sweden traditions yet Weekends are usually Big family Cook-Outs or Fish-Fries ♡ Except During the Summer they actually become more frequent by Sometimes happening on Weekdays too 😅 😊
Welcome to flavor town. You too can cook like an American. Example, how to make oatmeal. Just start with a stick of butter, add heavy whipping cream, and top with a fist full of cheese. 8)
Even though I live in the US with all this wonderful food, I rarely go to these restaurants, although I would love too, but as Carol said…I would be huge. So everything in moderation, but it is great that we have these this great foods if we want them. 😊.
I don't really enjoy myself at a restaurant. I think I have a small stomach, because I'm such a nibbler. The people I'm with always have to sit there and wait because they've all cleaned their plates while I'm only kind-of approaching the halfway point of mine. Long ago I learned how to make food I really enjoyed, and how to make it in small enough quantities to suit both my appetite and the storage space available for leftovers. There isn't much a restaurant can do to beat what I can whup up at home -- or even in the kitchenette at work -- so why go out?!
@reckyNcarol Oh yes! I have lived several states away from my mom and stepdad for the past 7 years and have only been able to see them twice (once this past weekend andonce in 2021). I've been hoping to visit overseas since coming back from living in England in 1998.
Chicory is a flower used as a filler in coffee during the depression to make your coffee stretch further. It's not used much now because it's said to taste bitter but some people have acquired a taste for it. You can grow it in your garden and the plant it with wild flowers along side our roadways. The flower is a periwinkle blue color which is my favorite color.
Chicory is a root the is substituted for coffee. It isn't a good substitute. But that's me. When you get to Austin TX hit the Salt Lick just outside of town. When you come to the USA, exchange your return tickets for a cargo plane space because you'll gain about 50Kg each.
Over here, the best restaurants on the road are in the truck stops, which at exits along the Interstate highways. Re. the Louisiana offering, beignets (bain-YAYS) are French doughnuts--triangle shaped, and covered with powdered sugar, and chicory is an Old World plant in the daisy family. An interesting side note about S. Dakota is that, courtesy of the Czech and Slovak immigrants of a century ago, they have around 15 unique foods which can't be found anywhere else in the country. One I got to sample when on vacation out there a few years ago was beef steaktips chislic. Sooo good! One thing which will help you avoid getting wider than you are tall is that these are scattered across the entire country, + 2 more. In answer to your request to mention anything that caught my eye, next year I plan to be vacationing out east, and one state I plan to go through is MD, which has the crab cakes. They can only be found in MD. Another is a unique ethnic group's sole restaurant which is in a 12,000 mile coastal area in 4 states. I was just on their tour a few weeks ago, and was fascinated by them.
I’ve been to Fong’s Pizza… and they are understating how good that crab Rangoon pizza is.. that’s usually all I get. Well.. that and the Chinese cheese sticks. Mozzarella sticks in wonton wraps instead of breaded, though they serve them with marinara sauce, but I usually substitute the sweet chili sauce they put on the aforementioned pizza😊
As a life long Washingtonian, I'm suprised about Beechers there cheese is good and all but, wut? I would of thought a place like Beth's Cafe would of made the list.
It's easy to gain weight in America. Because they will deliver everything if you choose. Delivery is available almost 24/7, grocery delivery also. There are 115 places that delivery in my area
I always love how you two tend to have an open mind and want to like everything you see- so many reaction videos have people that seem to think anything different from what they're used to is disgusting. I like to explore new foods, and though sometimes I find something I dislike, most foods aren't bad, and many are delicious!
Recky you could come to the states and be an over the road truck driver. We are in desperate need of them. You would have a boss but you'd be driving solo. It's logistics too
No you normally don't get fries with a burger. Only if you get a combo, that normally includes fries burger and a drink. Condiments are the stuff that you put on a burger. You can get a burger plain then add the condiments, except for a cheeseburger, the chersr has to be melted when its cooked.
The Hot Brown is great. It's one of my personal favorites. I try and find a Hot Brown at whatever restaurant I go to. Outside of Kentucky you will sometimes find them called a "Kentucky Hot Brown" but of course we don't need to call it that here in KY. It's such an iconic part of Louisville that you will even find several different pizza places around town that have hot brown pizzas as a specialty. I love those too!
I have eaten at Riverside Lunch in Charlottesville, VA. And can testify that it is both delicious and big. Seriously juicy. Quite a good belly full. Now I'm hungry.
I love you guys I'm having a hard time doing comments lately health issues but I've watched every one of yours and I just love you guys to pieces I'm so glad I found you. I hope we'll all be friends when you get So many people when you get rich and famous and we'll say I knew them when😂😂😂❤
Another great reaction guys. Thank you. I'm sorry I didn't get to wish you a Happy Anniversary yesterday. Hope you had a great day! So Happy Belated Anniversary!😂🎉
I'm not either, lol! Always used to take hikes when I traveled until I got covid a couple of times so really unable to do much of it any longer but love walking and its healthy too!

A Skyline 5 way starts off with spaghetti, chili, beans, onions, and then finishes off with cheese. Then your choice of sauces.
You can replace the spaghetti with a coney dog, add mustard, then the chili etc. Eliminate the beans, eliminates a lot of mess on a chili cheese coney.
The look of pure hunger on your faces gives me a bad case of LOL.
They could have gone with Huber's Cafe for Oregon (or a dozen other places). Amazing location, been around since 1879, has the best Spanish Coffee you will ever drink and it's like being in a different era altogether. Try the turkey, cream cheese and cranberry sandwich if it's on offer.
Chicory enhances coffee taste and aroma by imparting a slightly woody and nutty taste to the coffee.
Native to Africa, Asia, and Europe and brought to the U.S. in the 18th century, chicory (AKA chicory coffee or New Orleans coffee) is a naturally caffeine-free root that's roasted and cut up into a form that's popularly used as a coffee substitute or addition. With a dark, slightly sweet, and rich flavor similar to roasted coffee sans caffeine, it's a great option for those who are sensitive to the buzz of java.
The chicory-infused coffee sold at New Orleans staple Café du Monde - often served with steamed milk and made to enjoy alongside fried beignets - boosted the reputation of chicory coffee across America. Today, most locally-owned New Orleans coffee shops mix their beverages with about 70 percent coffee and 30 percent chicory root.
In addition to its lower caffeine content and great taste, chicory has a high amount of inulin. This prebiotic soluble carbohydrate might help improve gut health, reduce cholesterol, and control blood sugar.
You all are so awesome~!!!! Appreciate the video! Thanks for making me hungry!
Chicory (a weed native to France and Northwest Africa) coffee grew in popularity in 19th century New Orleans during the Civil War when a Union naval blockade cut access to the ports, causing a coffee shortage. Since then, New Orleans has capitalized on its love of ground roasted chicory root coffee.
Farm to table *or sea to shore* is the best sold food ever! So fresh!!
My husband proposed to me at St. Elmo’s in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana ❤️ their shrimp cocktail is packed with enough horseradish to clear your sinuses for the next 6 months
Chicory = coffee substitute
Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is an herb native to Europe and Asia. It's also grown in the United States. Chicory root contains inulin, a starchy substance. Chicory root has a mild laxative effect and decreases swelling. Chicory is also a rich source of beta-carotene.
The best part about going to a restaurant is if the serve big portions you can eat it for several meals
You two are so cute! You really deserve to have any meals you want. Come to America and try different restaurants.!
Louie’s lunch in Connecticut does serve fries. They serve the burger with cheese and onion. No condiments means no ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise. I grew up in Ct. and have never eaten at Louie’s Lunch, but everyone I know from Ct. has….
Chickory coffee was invented during the American Civil War when the Southern troops ran out of coffee. And they could not get more because Northern Army cut off supplies to the south. Chicory was used as a substitute for coffee.
There's a giant pit like that right here in my town of Princeton Illinois the restaurant is called prime quarter where they cook whatever meats u want or they allow u to cook it anyway u want
Don't Know About Sweden traditions yet Weekends are usually Big family Cook-Outs or Fish-Fries ♡ Except During the Summer they actually become more frequent by Sometimes happening on Weekdays too 😅 😊
A restaurant here used to have clam fries. French fries with clams in them all fried together.
Dang it... now I need the mop and bucket for all the drool again. . . lol!
Like you guys said, it all looks so good.
Welcome to flavor town. You too can cook like an American. Example, how to make oatmeal. Just start with a stick of butter, add heavy whipping cream, and top with a fist full of cheese. 8)
West Virginia's Pepperoni roll can't be left out !!!
your apt might be small, but you have a nice view out your windows, at least it isn't a brick wall of another building
Im a New Yorker and Katz Deli is so good. The only thing word of advice is, come there on an empty stomach
Even though I live in the US with all this wonderful food, I rarely go to these restaurants, although I would love too, but as Carol said…I would be huge. So everything in moderation, but it is great that we have these this great foods if we want them. 😊.
I don't really enjoy myself at a restaurant. I think I have a small stomach, because I'm such a nibbler. The people I'm with always have to sit there and wait because they've all cleaned their plates while I'm only kind-of approaching the halfway point of mine. Long ago I learned how to make food I really enjoyed, and how to make it in small enough quantities to suit both my appetite and the storage space available for leftovers. There isn't much a restaurant can do to beat what I can whup up at home -- or even in the kitchenette at work -- so why go out?!
Haven't had a good pastrami sandwich since 1967 (with my dad) at a stand in LA.
I love sweeter BBQ sauce compared to Carolina's more vinegar tasting sauce.
Can't wait for y'all to come to the states!!
We cant wait either. But its a long road to get there..
@reckyNcarol Oh yes! I have lived several states away from my mom and stepdad for the past 7 years and have only been able to see them twice (once this past weekend andonce in 2021). I've been hoping to visit overseas since coming back from living in England in 1998.
LOL @ Recky and Carol tormenting themselves watching food videos! 🍕🌯🥩🥙🍔🥘🍱😮😅
yeah.. such a stupid idea.. lol
My Grandma used to take me to Carlos Bakery after tutoring, best cupcakes and cannolis id had
Chicory is a flower used as a filler in coffee during the depression to make your coffee stretch further. It's not used much now because it's said to taste bitter but some people have acquired a taste for it. You can grow it in your garden and the plant it with wild flowers along side our roadways. The flower is a periwinkle blue color which is my favorite color.
Detroit style pizza is AMAZING!
Chicory is a root the is substituted for coffee. It isn't a good substitute. But that's me. When you get to Austin TX hit the Salt Lick just outside of town. When you come to the USA, exchange your return tickets for a cargo plane space because you'll gain about 50Kg each.
Lol the state of Missouri holds a "Testicle Festival" annually
Watching this made me so hungry! But wow I had not heard of some of these things, like the crab Rangoon pizza.😮
I so enjoy your videos. I almost feel like I know you both. Thank you so much!
Over here, the best restaurants on the road are in the truck stops, which at exits along the Interstate highways.
Re. the Louisiana offering, beignets (bain-YAYS) are French doughnuts--triangle shaped, and covered with powdered sugar, and chicory is an Old World plant in the daisy family.
An interesting side note about S. Dakota is that, courtesy of the Czech and Slovak immigrants of a century ago, they have around 15 unique foods which can't be found anywhere else in the country. One I got to sample when on vacation out there a few years ago was beef steaktips chislic. Sooo good!
One thing which will help you avoid getting wider than you are tall is that these are scattered across the entire country, + 2 more.
In answer to your request to mention anything that caught my eye, next year I plan to be vacationing out east, and one state I plan to go through is MD, which has the crab cakes. They can only be found in MD. Another is a unique ethnic group's sole restaurant which is in a 12,000 mile coastal area in 4 states. I was just on their tour a few weeks ago, and was fascinated by them.
Oh, I forgot to mention that they have 1 ethnic restaurant in the area I mentioned, which I plan to experience next summer.
Fries is a side, not a condiment. Ketchup,mustard,mayo are condiments.
😂🤣😄😃😁😆
🌮🌮🌮"Recky"
I Went Home EVEN HUNGRIER 😂😄
Chicory is used in Louisiana coffee - it adds a unique flavor to it, but don'[t have too much because chicory has diuretic properties.
One way or another were getting you to america, mark my words lol
Lotus of Siam is really worth the hype to me.
High quality doesn’t always mean high brow or high price.
I think a shrimp Po boy and gumbo would be more representative of New Orleans, Louisiana.
I’ve been to Fong’s Pizza… and they are understating how good that crab Rangoon pizza is.. that’s usually all I get. Well.. that and the Chinese cheese sticks. Mozzarella sticks in wonton wraps instead of breaded, though they serve them with marinara sauce, but I usually substitute the sweet chili sauce they put on the aforementioned pizza😊
You need everything on the menu. Love yous from Chicago
Great fun to watch. A lot of that looked really good! Now I am SUPER hungry! Thanks Recky and Carol.
Hahaha your welcome !!
As a life long Washingtonian, I'm suprised about Beechers there cheese is good and all but, wut? I would of thought a place like Beth's Cafe would of made the list.
It's easy to gain weight in America. Because they will deliver everything if you choose. Delivery is available almost 24/7, grocery delivery also. There are 115 places that delivery in my area
15:15 -15:22 I felt that. 😂
I love pastrami, roast beef, sandwiches 🥪 my favorite is the Ruben those meats with sour kraut and Russian dressing on a rye bread yummy
A fine meal in nice surroundings with nice company ... is a joy.
St. Elmo's Steakhouse in Indiana is a little pricey. Was just looking at the menu. Never been there though.
I always love how you two tend to have an open mind and want to like everything you see- so many reaction videos have people that seem to think anything different from what they're used to is disgusting. I like to explore new foods, and though sometimes I find something I dislike, most foods aren't bad, and many are delicious!
We are or try to be open-minded to everything.
British people are the worst with it. They think bechemel sauces look disgusting but think beans on toast looks like a delicacy.
Recky you could come to the states and be an over the road truck driver. We are in desperate need of them. You would have a boss but you'd be driving solo. It's logistics too
No you normally don't get fries with a burger. Only if you get a combo, that normally includes fries burger and a drink. Condiments are the stuff that you put on a burger. You can get a burger plain then add the condiments, except for a cheeseburger, the chersr has to be melted when its cooked.
There used to be a chain called Sveden House Smorgasbord. My Dad over did it and barfed when we walked out.
Ouch 😅
I love Matt's bar!
Chicory is a naturally caffeine-free root that's roasted and cut up into a form that's popularly used as a coffee substitute or addition.
Condiments are ketchup, mustard and stuff like that, and not French fries.
The Hot Brown is great. It's one of my personal favorites. I try and find a Hot Brown at whatever restaurant I go to. Outside of Kentucky you will sometimes find them called a "Kentucky Hot Brown" but of course we don't need to call it that here in KY. It's such an iconic part of Louisville that you will even find several different pizza places around town that have hot brown pizzas as a specialty. I love those too!
I have eaten at Riverside Lunch in Charlottesville, VA. And can testify that it is both delicious and big. Seriously juicy. Quite a good belly full. Now I'm hungry.
I love you guys I'm having a hard time doing comments lately health issues but I've watched every one of yours and I just love you guys to pieces I'm so glad I found you. I hope we'll all be friends when you get So many people when you get rich and famous and we'll say I knew them when😂😂😂❤
hahaha Doubt the rich and famous. We will stay humble forever. And thank you for such a nice comment. =)
You'll just have to plan a visit to the US and eat at a couple of the restaurants each time you visit! 😉
Love that my Virginia hometown made the list 😁 Can confirm, Riverside has very good, cheap food & a laid back, friendly atmosphere 👍🏻🍔
Another great reaction guys. Thank you. I'm sorry I didn't get to wish you a Happy Anniversary yesterday. Hope you had a great day! So Happy Belated Anniversary!😂🎉
The Original Pinks is pretty good. As long as you dont go for the ridiculous which takes away from the decent dogs
Carol, believe me you wouldn't be huge since there are so many activities, gyms, and beautiful places to hike to balance everything out.
Im not a "gym girl" tho lol, i like walks or a swim, thats whats my body is capable of 🤗
I'm not either, lol! Always used to take hikes when I traveled until I got covid a couple of times so really unable to do much of it any longer but love walking and its healthy too!
