Brits try REAL Southern Fried Chicken for the first time! 

That waitress is worth her weight in gold, what a sweetheart. I hope her boss recognizes how lucky he is to have such a good employee.

Santana is the kind of host you wouldn't even get tired of talking about so many things in life even though it must have been hours that passed

My mom and I went to Sweet Potatoes Kitchen today! I told the owner I was there specifically because of this video. He said they've gotten a ton of business because of it. I had blackened chicken breast, black eyed peas, cucumbers with mustard vinaigrette and a baked sweet potato. My mom had shrimp and grits, okra and corn pudding. We did have their banana pudding. The food was incredibly good. Probably one of the best meals I've ever had.

When they reacted to the collared greens, I immediately had a flashback of my grandmother fussing at us kids. "...Y'all better eat them greens! Ain't nothing wrong with them greens! Those are some good greens!" 😅

I love how Ollie doesn't lie at all just to please anyone. If he likes it, its on his face, if he doesn't like it, he won't lie.

“Georgia’s big on peaches. I learnt that from Justin Bieber.” Is the most British statement in this entire video

Her customer service skills are out of this world!!! give that woman a raise

Southern people are the Gems of America. The first time my dad took me to Tennessee I fell in love with it just because of how kind the people were! They make you feel so welcome and they are so down to earth.

Ms. Santana is the picture of Southern friendly hospitality. Not pretentious, just genuine smiles, a good time, and endless cups of iced sweet tea!

It was a pleasure to meet y’all! The Sweet Potatoes fam loves Santana SO very much and we are lucky to have her!!

I love how Savannah constantly adapts her conversation/approach to match her guests. Like she starts off saying the corn pudding is “strange but good, right?” And then when Ollie doesn’t like it she switches it up and says “yeah, the textures what gets me too,” and it happens multiple times. like-she’s not fake, you can’t fake that energy that consistently-but her work is calculated, and the switches are so seamless that you hardly notice it even on a recording until you watch it multiple times. I like it, I respect it, and I admire it!!! She’s a stellar hospitality worker!

As someone from Florida (I know we're not really "the south" to some, but bear with me), there's something that makes me so happy about seeing non-southerners trying and enjoying southern cooking.

As an American, when he said "we have the same ingredients in the UK but the flavors here are revolutionary" I couldn't help but feel patriotic.

Santana is the BEST example of Southern hospitality. I am glad she represented us so well!

I’m from South Carolina, USA and I grew up eating everything you guys just ate. And now I’m 63 and my mouth has been watering the whole time I had to watch you guys on this video.🤣🤣🤣

I’m an old man from the Northern USA. Served in our military and lived in various southern locations. Southern food is extremely addictive.

I laughed when the waitress said, "Put the camera down, Ducky and eat." So funny!

"I'ma get you some more tea honey" might be the best words a southern waitress can utter

Being a New Orleans resident for 73 years I started watching your channel when you were touring New Orleans restaurants and I greatly appreciated your responses to our spicy flavorful dishes. I had a friend from England who often cooked her home dishes for us but I never enjoyed it until I started bringing my own Toney’s Cajun seasoning with me and liberally sprinkled it over everything. I just found it so bland and flavorless without the addition of the spices. I asked her permission to add it so I wouldn’t hurt her feelings and she said she understood and after she tasted her food with the additional spices she agreed wholeheartedly and stated adding it to her own cooking. She brought Toney’s home when she went to visit and introduced it to her family. They now have it shipped to them in England and use it regularly. They also say they don’t understand why the English don’t take advantage of adding spices and extra seasoning to their food. I truly enjoy that you are willing to try everything. The only thing I would say to you is don’t write off any food just because you didn’t like it the first time you taste it. Eating in the US is like eating in many different countries. Southern Louisiana food is different than eating even Northern Louisiana food because they have vastly different cultures. Each state or region in the US has their own unique cuisine and culture. Northern states foods are quite bland to us in Southern Louisiana. Take the collard greens you ate. We don’t use lemon and vinegar in ours. We smother them with seasoning and ham or sausage then some may sprinkle the juice from pickled peppers 🌶️ lightly on top. A completely different flavor. Never judge the US food by one particular area. Love ❤️

Southern cooking is one of the best things we have in the USA.

Lol she is literally one of the most southern waitresses ever The way she touches their arms And says "I'm gonna get you some more honey" it's hilarious 😂

I'm from Alabama and my husband is from New Orleans. We had a couple who were British friends and another couple from South Africa. Our male friend from England was dying from cancer and his wife and family decided to combine ALL holidays into Thanksgiving Day because we didn't know how much time he had left. Everybody brought dishes for dinner, but being southern, my husband and I took 12 dishes. He nor I know how to do small. I cooked Alabama Southern and my husband cooked Cajun and Creole. There were no leftovers! Those folks could EAT! It was a wonderful night with friends. Our friend died after Christmas. This video reminded me if that sweet night. Thank you fir sharing and rest in peace Paul.

My mom made a bitters course in every dinner every day of the year; collards, mustard, turnip, etc... There are many nutrients in bitters not in other foods. I grew up on the Cherokee Nation east of Broken Arrow, OK. My mom would send me to the woods to forage for collards, poke, sassafras, wild onions, hazel nuts, native pecans and tiny cherries about the size of a pea, wild plums, wild grapes, wild blackberries and dewberries. There were pear trees everywhere with hundreds of great pesrs on each one.

"You gotta fix your face!" That's like the most Southern Mom thing to say. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can you imagine going back home and eating beans on toast after this?

Im from Georgia and watching them try food i grew up on and love it, gives me so much joy

I didn’t see y’all eat the corn bread, but those are all legit southern meals right there 🤤 I know exactly what I’m having for dinner tonight 😂 So glad you guys enjoyed it!

You can just tell that Santana is one of those people that just makes you feel like you’re at home☺️

“We sell these pickles by the jar.” Both heads whip around - you do? Loved the synchronized reaction!

Makes my southern heart happy to watch you guys try southern food. Collards are bitter but turnip greens are my favorite!!

Lol I love their innocence . . . Like watching a baby eat solid food for the first time 😂 . . . But I'm sure they don't realize how much butter they just ate haha 😅

"I'm gonna getcha some more tea, honey!" That one over-the-shoulder line basically sums up the hospitality.

Congrats on the marriage Santana! Her service was awesome

So I am a Yankee and learned a ton about Southern food today too. I need to get down to Savannah! Hope the now Mrs. Hannah (she said she was getting married in a few days after your visit) is still there. She is so awesome!!! I honestly think this is one of my fav episodes foody wise. Can't beat the 2-year old Juno ones but this really had me smiling big time.

This video brings me back home.. I love the culture I was born into.

Santana is a pure gem! She is so good at embodying the image of Southern hospitality

I love Ducky's behind-the-camera comments to help them know what's normal. "She just filled my tea back up!! Is that normal?" "Yes" Most Southerners would be upset if they didn't. LOL. Thanks for helping them understand America, Ducky =)

This lady should teach a course on giving service with a smile. What a beauty

I have been making collard greens for 35+ years, and NEVER have I EVER made them with lemons. EVER and I'm personally offended. Lol jk about being offended, but I mean the rest of it. My collards are AMAZING and nowhere near bitter. And I LOVE Savannah!!!

When the Brits said the flavors were "Revolutionary" I giggled a bit because that's a truly spot on description 🤣🤣

“I’ll get ya some more tea honey” is probably the one most single thing I have heard the most times while growing up in the south eating at restaurants. They just nonstop keep making the tea. I never complained.

I love how you two banter. You're so concilliatory and supportive! It's nice!

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos. Your reactions are so priceless. And I also reflect on how blessed I am to live in United States of America.

"What's crazy about this is they're using the same ingredients as in the Uk, but the flavors are completely revolutionary." XD 😆 🤣

The way that Santana keeps hitting Ollies arm is the definition of true southern hospitality

Y’all chose the right place to go for this one. Savannah, GA has some of the best food in the country, and is so rich with culture. Glad you boys enjoyed!

Being able to cook all this food because your family has always cooked this food is worth its weight in gold!!!! Especially when it's delicious!!!!

I just found your channel. Very much appreciate your open minds and willingness to taste unknown food. You are SO enthusiastic about it! It says a great deal for your upbringings that you are so open to new experiences! Good on you!

I gotta say a big THANK YOU to Santana Hanna from Savanna for stepping up to the brits and representing the south the way a real southerner should! Thank you very much darlin!

Santanas ah-maize-ing pun was top tier. Love her

Santana is such a delight fr , its crazy good that we get to meet people and eat the food that just completes the homely feel , its great!

"The flavors are completely Revolutionary!"😂😂 I see what you did there...

The food looks amazing but honestly Miss Santana stole my attention. As a socially awkward introvert, seeing her working the crowd is really what I wish I could do. I’m half convinced that by just listening to her saying “It’s okay” can cure my depression 😭 What an awesome lady. I live half across the world from the US and I feel like going to Sweet Potatoes because of her 😂😂

I love how they say the sweet potatoe is giant when that's like the smallest sweet potato I've seen in forever

Love you guys! So great to see honest fun reactions from people from another nation. And waitress was freaking fantastic!

Y'all are living the dream. It's awesome to see two individuals that are so open to food from other cultures. Still hoping you guys visit Colorado or New England!

Absolutely love this. She was an amazing waitress. Her joke with the grits saying "isn't it aMAZEing" went over their heads but I laughed so hard.

You guys have endeared yourselves to Southerners forever. Kudos to Santana for representing the friendliness and hospitality of the South so well.

Santana Hannah from Savannah is absolutely the BEST waitress. She is PRICELESS! I hope the owner realizes what a gem she is. Love her!!!!

gettin into these rn n i love how appreciative and excited yall r to try so many new things !

santana saying the “amaze-ing” joke made me crack up laughing and josh and olly not knowing what she meant at first made it even better LMFAOOOO

I’m happy they have Ducky with them on this trip so they can get the American insight when they ask “is this a thing?”

I just came across you two! Love your enthusiasm and fearlessness in trying new foods.

I just went to Sweet Potato a few days ago while on holiday. I could only get takeout before I had to get on the road but I got the Banana Pudding and the Sweet Potato with the pecan butter, MY GOD IT WAS SO GOOD

Thats what you call a veteran waitress. So smooth. Makes it look so easy. Delivers an enjoyable experience that adds to the whole restaurant. I love when i get a waitress this good.

Santana out-punned Ollie with that maize joke! 😂 She is a delight. Way to rep southern hospitality!

after watching you guys for so long, and you guys introducing me to korea and getting me into learning the language and eventually traveling there... it just makes me so happy to see you in my part of the world.

I’m salivating. It’s my 18th year anniversary this Friday and this inspired me to cook southern fried chicken, gravy , corn pudding and sweet potato fries for dinner. My husband and daughter loves fried chicken.

My fav part is Santana being Ducky's mom for 2.5 seconds and telling him to put his camera down. He listened too 🤣

She refilled they Tea about 40 times 🤣🤣🤣 gotta love that southern hospitality 🥰🤌🏽

Just had to rewatch this ! So fabulous

That patio looks so comfortable to eat with the trees in the background. Great spot

EVERY restaurant owner needs to see this to understand how a happy waitstaff can MAKE or BREAK you. Santana was awesome. I'm up North, If I head South, guess where I want to eat at?

Being from NC living in the UK for 18 years watching you not even touch the cornbread or Biscuit is torture 😂

I love Ollie’s honesty!!!!

You two are hilarious. Your facial expressions are so genuine and now you got a new follower...

Santana is the absolute textbook definition of Southern hospitality- down to the accent and the way she sends people off from the restaurant, and I love her

Ive been seeing clips from you guys for a long time, but my sister just told me about this video from my city and even a restaurant ive loved, so i HAD to watch. Southern restaurants are great.

This made me feel so warm! Thank you!

Jolly: that's a huge sweet potato! Every southerner: Bless your heart you sweet summer child.

The way Ducky said “it’s gravy” when Josh thought it was cheese has me seriously cracking up!! 🤣 Oh Ducky… I see the struggle is real lol

As a Texan I live on collard greens.. not just collard greens but for the most part yes. I realized after watching this video that I take the culture I was born into for granted.

This is so fun to watch, I grew up in the south, your waitress shares her hospitality just like the ones I grew up with, the Men from England are also so genuine and nice, they would fit right in to our culture, the food was amazing to see, I felt like I could taste that sweet potato, love your channel

As a southerner, it’s nice to see folks genuinely enjoy our cooking, and also appreciate our hospitality. So many people work overtime to make fun of the people who live here, but these chaps seem to genuinely appreciate that this is kind of a nice place to be, and the locals generally bend over backwards to make them feel welcome.

Being from Savannah, I really appreciate y’all going to an actually good local spot and not some fake tourist money grab. Sweet Potatoes is a known classic among locals.

Santana Hannah is a great rep for the south. What a great lady!

We have marshmallows toasted on top of sweet potato pie at Thanksgiving & Christmas time. So yummy. Watergate salad is quite delicious too.

Every server should study this lady. She was phenomenal. 10/10

The camera guy saying, "It's gravy" when they were trying to figure out what was on top of their chicken was absolutely hilarious.

i love that it's near houses and has all those trees

I am amazed at how much of this food you guys can put away!

The food. The trees in the background. The hospitality. The South at its finest.

I visit Savannah often so now I’m def bringing my family to Sweet Potatoes!

I've only had collard greens a couple of times and they're all different. Good collards are FREAKING FANTASTIC! I wish I knew how to make them for myself...

I am OVER the moon that y'all REALLY had good southern food. Now you know the secret of why southern people are so hospitable, loving and kind. .... We LOVE through the food we prepare for everyone. When you enter the home or even a step on the porch this is what you'll hear. Come on in ..... I just fixed a pie. Come sit down. ( We don't give you a chance to respond....we walk away) We return with a plate of food, a drink and your pie. That's the way we are. God bless y'all and your families may he continue to keep y'all safe and healthy in body, mind and spirit.

I love that Ducky is the true straight man in this series. He's the cool, calm and collected to Josh's childlike wonder and Ollie's childlike mania.

Best server ever. I'd hire her in a hot second and tip big for that high level of Southern hospitality.

"Put the camera down Ducky and eat." That is a true southern lady right there. I had to rewatch that part about 5 times lol.

Santana just stole the show for me! She has such a delightful, lovely character. I just love how she told Ducky to put down the camera and eat..love the comfortable, friendly, at home kind of vibe..If I were to visit US anytime soon then I know where my first stop will be!

10:35 the boys' synchronised shock of being told they can get their own pickles sums up their relationship so well lmao
