I feel the need to note how much I love the camaraderie between you guys. You engage in trash talk without it ever feeling mean, and how much you truly care about each other always comes through. Your content is great, but your friendship makes it next level.
Jamie basically cooked a traditional KY meal as I might see it. Cucumber salad, fried catfish, brussels sprouts, and watermelon with something salty are all very traditional here, and I've loved them all my life, but he took them to different places. I thought it was a great take on our food, he paid attention! My granny would have ate his plate, that is high praise lmao
I think they'd be fine at that- they'd know roughly what was on the menu and how to make it. I say reverse it, make them act as head chef with a bunch of sous/line cooks they need to order around.
Wow this really looked like a tough choice in the end! That grilled cheese looked so inviting, but Jamie managed so much in so little time...clearly the solution is to just eat everything, everyone wins!
Yay Jamie won for Kentucky! As a Kentuckian, I'm glad to see your travels around our lovely state, which really doesn't get much notice unless something bad happens. Glad to see you visited the western side of the state by going to Paducah. I have lived on the western side all my life. Thank you guys for this series.
I mean, the series has done its job for promoting, was probably a state I wouldn't have considered travelling too previously, certainly one that we would consider now
Tracey, you should have brought them up short for visiting a 7 year old distillery. Even someone from 'way out west' should know they've gone wrong there.
Sometimes I get really sad about my country...and there is plenty to despair about...but it's nice to be reminded just how diverse it is and how generous, hard working, and big hearted most people in it really are.
I just adore when you guys come here to the US to eat and cook! Keep coming back! I adore these series! I'm from the south, so this one hit home quite a bit, even though I haven't been back in a very long time. Also, whoever does your music on the American videos, really nails it! It feels like it fits the moods and foods so well! Good job! Love you guys and all your crew!
Of all the people with awesome lives on youtube these guys have the best job in the world! Been subscribed since the very very early days and this channel continues to go from strength to strength.
This has been one of the most fun and exciting series to watch lads, the food throughout has looked super tasty and so jealous of all the bbq you have eaten. Cant wait for the next USA trip because there really needs to be one.
Ben's mood during the challenge is one I strive to have every day. Mike and Jamie's moods during the challenge are ones I strive to avoid every day. Also, cute butterfly!🦋
Loved this video! The food looks soooo good, I'm really impressed by it! I love that it's "two winners" because nothing there looked anything short of delicious.
Every single one of those dishes, I thought "yep, that sounds good". Mike's grilled cheese looked positively delicious! Jamie's dishes were super traditional and I have had variations of all those dishes my entire life. Those sprouts, though, wow! I would take the grilled cheese with a side of brussels sprouts any day.
I would love to see one of these series done in Michigan! We have lots of micro breweries everywhere, the Traverse City Cherry festival at the begining of July, can’t forget the maple syrup season in early spring, and first day of hunting season which ends up being an impromptu holiday around here! (Whole schools close because they don’t have enough kids come in sometimes!)
i know grilling probably is not a thing jamie and mike are used to with a charcoal grill, but it looks like the charcoal grate was height adjustable. All they had to do was raise it closer to the food for more heat and faster cooking. that said, they did an amazing job !!!! loved watching them sweat lol.
The butterfly was certainly enjoying the grilled cheese! 😂 The last time I was in America was 1983, and series has really made me want to go back to America and experience it as an adult. 😊
I can't buy catfish where I live, and this fish, breaded with cornmeal, fried, and served with plenty of lemon, is my favourite fish dish. My mouth is totally watering!
Kudos to Jamie for featuring Brussel sprouts in a yummy way instead of hiding them. Mike's also looked good and did feature kentucky components but I could go into a lot of KY places and find things similar to Jamies.
As someone who grew up in KY, not far from the Cumberland falls you visited, Y'all have done me proud in this series. TY for visiting and im happy as hell y'all enjoyed! and I love how polite you are, "it's got great color on it." in american english that translates to burnt AF.
I have totally enjoyed this series! I work in Murray, KY, just south of Paducah. It was so great to see your reactions to places I've known most of my life. ☺️
Hey boys, I'm a lifelong Kentucky resident. I've also watched all of your videos for the past 5 years. I recognized most of the locations you visited, particularly downtown Lexington. I live only 30 minutes or so away. If I'd known you'd be there, I would have loved to met you in person and given a local's perspective on KY cuisine. Of all the dishes you cooked, the fried catfish and beer cheese are the most recognizable "Kentucky" foods. We don't usually fry country ham, as it is already quite dry. It is usually eaten cold on buttered bread or biscuits. Also, this sounds surprising coming from a Kentuckian, but I vastly prefer Scotch to Bourbon 🙂
My grandpa used to work at Old Fitzgerald, and the Blade and Bow that's out now is more than likely the last bit of bourbon he worked with before it closed!
I am not a catfish or even a fish person. We have a Long John Silver's Seafood fast food restaurant with a whitefish of some sort that is ok, but they have fried shrimp which I like. I like ham and carrots and brussels sprouts.
This has been one of the best set of videos. Hope you all enjoyed your time in the USA! Looking forward to more content about the variety of food we offer across the country!
I'm drooling at that bourbon "museum;" the Old Crow Chessmen (@ 2:02) is considered by many to be one of the best bourbons ever created, and one that I hope I can try one day. Super jealous of that Old Fitz pour - cheers!
So happy to see them both use Country Ham in their showdown its truly wonderful, but i finally figured out what was bothering me the whole time on these three eps. How can they drive around KY in a mustang and not a Corvette for shame :)
Said to myself this morning I need a holiday (Japan in a few months seems forever away!) and this video isn’t helping my holiday blues! Take me in your suitcase next time please 🙏
Often it's a mistake to watch Sorted Food when hungry, but I'm happy to say I can now head to the kitchen and make an epic cheese toasty and pour myself a Bourbon, so result!
I always love these travel videos where you guys immerse yourselves in a new place and the local food; and the food battle at the end is always great 😊 Ben befriending a butterfly was perfect! He definitely needs a rocking chair in the studio!! I’m impressed that Jamie was able to get all 4 dishes plated in time. I love the idea of bourbon and orange juice with sprouts! Mike’s grilled cheese sandwich looked delicious and I’m intrigued by the beer cheese.
I'm so happy that watermelon made it on a plate! It is a Southern staple (and personal favorite) that, from my understanding, is a little different from the kind found in the UK.
Instead of a Mustang, y’all should’ve drove around in a Corvette. They’re made here in Kentucky. My son cooks in a restaurant in Paducah Kentucky. I was hoping you went to his but it’s not quite as fancy as the old freight house
I dont understand why you would go through the effort of filming the whole process of bourbon, but skip it, i personally would love an "off video" just about it.
