New Food Tours LET'S GO! Also I am very excited for a potential Korean BBQ episode of Food Tours.

Get Harry some non-sweet cornbread to try, perhaps with pinto beans or chili. And hush puppies with fried catfish.

@@babigoreng8059 I LOVE korean bbq but that's a WILD take. It's completely different. like NIGHT AND DAY different and you are comparing something super broad and diverse to something much more highly specialized but pretty uniform. Honestly not unlike comparing korean and american cultures as a whole now that I think about it.

@michaelsimons412 Месяц назад

To Joe's comment about BBQ sauce, McDonald's sauce is supposed to taste like a BBQ, where as the sauces at these places are actual sauces that are meant to compliment the BBQ

@mrdanthesnowman Месяц назад

Well said.

@saberswordsmen1 Месяц назад

Yeah, whenever I hear British people talk about how brown sauce is so wildly different than barbecue sauce, I can't help but think they've only ever had Kraft. I've had both, and brown sauce/HP sauce definitely tastes like some bbq sauces I've had. Maybe a little more A1 to it, but definitely totally within the flavor profile of good barbecue sauces.

@kurtpunchesthings2411 Месяц назад

it is a key difference obviously the support sauce is better because it's helping the BBQ you have instead of trying to taste like a BBQ

You guys should absolutely do a series like this in Japan, meet up with the dude you did the food wars videos with, let him take you around to find the best dishes in Japan

@MrScoot27 Месяц назад

Given the Japanese culture of always finishing your meal, I feel that they could have some issues doing this series over there, given that they always leave most of the food behind just because they consume so much. I mean, they could still do it over several days and it would be just as good on video.

Re: Carolina sauces. Any yellow sauce is South Carolina - mustard based. North Carolina is a dark sauce using vinegar and brown sugar.

@bryandixon4071 Месяц назад

Eastern NC is vinegar, brown sugar or molasses, and usually some pepper flake. Western NC is the same adding tomato paste/sauce typically. And yeah SC is usually eastern style NC adding mustard. Heard a theory that most BBQ sauces are eastern NC and keep adding more things the farther you move away.

@Thetasigmaalpha Месяц назад

Brisket as a meat cut is usually in stews and soups in the uk as it requires long slow cooking . Smokers are unusual in the uk.

@michaelspock Месяц назад

It's a shame that being in Southern California they didn't try California's native Barbecue cuisine: Santa Maria style BBQ. I grew up on Santa Maria style BBQ tri-tip. A real lost opportunity!

I was just about to make this same comment. How can anyone do California BBQ and not do Santa Maria Tri-tip, which is iconically and uniquely Californian?🤔

Gutted me. We do it a bit different in central California, dry rub seems more common, but tri tip in general is a great little cut to work with.

Grew up 18 years in LA... live in central Texas now... when they said they cook the brisket 5 hours... 5 hours in for ribs and like chicken. Brisket is low and slow and like 12 14 hours. Bbq should be done in 1. TX 2. KC and 3 Carolinas. acceptable alternatives are Alabama White and Memphis

@kebeightyfour5717 Месяц назад

Texas bbq is good but overrated. There are better regions for bbq.

Harry and Joe are the best duo hands down.

@Satriales123 Месяц назад

@ryanodriscoll Месяц назад

There is some genuinely good barbecue in the UK. But it is much harder to find. It's growing in popularity, but I wouldn't say it has caught on. I know many people here that are suspicious of it, having grown up with sickly bottled barbecue sauce as a condiment and think that is what it is. Additionally, many of the places that do make it are either chains, which are usually ok but not exactly groundbreaking, or "trendy" places that have an air of the hipster about them. Either way, they are usually expensive for what you get. The Great British Barbie is improving though. The days of cremated burgers and charcoal sausages are by no means over, but the market is slowly changing and the foodie BBQ market is growing.

@diskopartizan0850 Месяц назад

I've had BBQ at a couple of places in the UK and it hasn't blown my mind. There's something about the random assembly of a large amount of ingredients that doesn't really do it for me. Like who needs ribs, brisket, sausage, burnt ends, with fries, slaw etc? It's all a bit much. That said, maybe it works better with the real deal?

Bludso's rules. I was a little disappointed with the amount of brisket that comes on the $200 plate. But it was still more than enough food for 6 people, we even had a big box of leftovers. And every single dish you get hits so hard. The beans, the greens, the smoked sausage. All so good.

As a brit living in the US, I initially didn't much like cornbread- too dry and crumbly. But what it goes amazingly well with on that plate isn't the meat, its the collard greens. Love collard greens. I think a vegetable boiled for that long with ham appeals to the British palate lol.
