We Tried the Most Famous BBQ at a Luxury Food Hall in LA 

❤️ If you're enjoying this video, please give it a like! ✅

This bbq adventure was like watching a tragic comedy. You could almost feel the disappointment in your faces. Shake Shack to the rescue. 🍔🍟

So glad to see you again!!!

It blows me away the prices of everything today. I totally agree with ya'll on the rankings. When Derek got a scoop of white rice I was like "Nooooooo" it's by the pound. I know it was mall court food, but none of it was impressive until those burgers. I can remember 25 years ago Burger King would have 99 cent whoppers and McDonalds would counter with $1.00 Big Macs. Gosh how I miss those days. Great video.

Nice of them to include some brisket in that pickled veggies and condiments platter lol. Thanks for doing what y’all do and taking us along!

😂 Derek is an OG!!! He has Catherine opening the door for him. Lmao 💯

Sign of the times. More and more small eatery's are cutting hours or closing completely in CA. Cost of doing business and hourly wage hike is just too much.

Welcome back guys.. road trip eating is the best.

I thought I would not watch not being in Vegas, but I am back. Still very entertaining...

I'm so happy to see you guys I've missed your videos thank you

They're ARE BACK !!!

Invest in an old smoker someone is getting rid of and make your own. That beats paying 40 bucks a shot in some food mall.

For paying almost $40 at Slab, that did not look like a lot of food and that was without any sides too. I would be going thru the drive thru at BK or some other place on my way home.

You two have parlayed your flair for buffet banter into food hall hijinks!

That brisket looked disappointing. No brisket should ever need sauce.

Finally a new video

at the end of the day mall food will always be mall food

Don't look that good..

So sad to see those places closed. The economy is the worst it's been in decades and people can't afford to eat out.

What happened to the 2 of you used to go to IN restaurants in Las Vegas? Only the top. Now you're going to the bottom of the barrel.

Gosh I miss you guys!! Thanks for another great review! ❤

That lil bit for 40 bucks 😢

Nice to see yo back brotha. Seems expensive for what you get.......

Very spendy for what you got. It’s a mall food court. You’re not going to get Texas Bbq - but you’re paying Texas prices. I’d pass

Enjoy your shows. After 41 years, I moved out of Sherman Oaks .. Sad to see all those closed businesses.

If in LA, definitely need to try Moo's Craft BBQ, Ray's BBQ, Bludso's BBQ

Thank you. If you come to Austin Texas a bbq place called Terry Black is unbelievably good eats. Also, in Fort Worth, the #1 place for bbq in Texas is Goldie's but it is only opened on Friday, Saturday and Sunday because they do not compromise on their food. They work during the week but are not open until the weekend.

My wife and I love your show. We love watching it from Australia. ❤️ you both

So nice to see you again!

lmao wow you don’t have to say it. we know, guys. lolol

Oh good! I was worried Catherine took over the channel and hid Derek!! 😆😆

Plenty of independent BBQ places all over LA and Orange County to enjoy. Slab is more of a commercial chain establishment that has been failing. Never heard of great BBQ restaurant in a mall food court. Thank you for the review.

You guys need to come to the southern states to get proper bar-b-que!!

Great to see a new episode ❤

Thanks guys ! Love your videos !

Love you two! Great food review. Thanks for your patience and going to three food places!

It's really sad when 2 places that should have the best BBQ lose out to Shake Shack. Looks like the best food at both BBQ places is the chicken/chicken empanada. Thanks for taking one for the team!

Would love to see you guys go back to Vegas to review the restaurants and buffet's, they were my favorites to watch!!

As usual, great job! Very informative and entertaining!

No sides?

The whole place looks like a Moroccan vacation resort out of season. A lot of places locked up, hardly any people….looks depressing

Prices are outrageous. In the past five years the only food I've eaten is home cooked because I'm retired and have the time and like to cook.

Next time try Dr. Hogley Wogley Tyler Texas Bbq in Panorama City.

It came with no sides. Hmmm. At least cole slaw or small mac salad

Miss you guys

Fair dinkum unbelievable 😂😂❤😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Watching from the UK 🇬🇧... why do you cut your food...then transfer it to another hand to eat it?.... have you ever used a knife and fork before?.. I genuinely don't know? And I don't understand.

All of those food court restaurants were open during all the mall hours until the $20 minimum wages were started. The $40 plus dollars did not include drinks, sides or desserts. Bring your lunch when you shop at the malls.

If they aren’t lined up for your bbq, it’s probably not very good!

That was good exercise! Tour du monde! 😏👌🏼

That mall looks so beautiful, that BBQ there is not worth it considering the price.

I think there are better place for barbecue in LA!

Missed u guys ❤

Hi guys on June 14 they just opened a shake shack in Toronto Canada. I’m looking forward to trying it next month. The lines are way too much right now. I was so glad to hear your review and how much you both love it. It’s the first one to open in 🇨🇦 Take care guys😊😊😊

You guys should travel to Texas try some bbq ....

Just from looks alone, that is a sad BBQ platter

What a rip off.

With the outrageous prices and poor quality of food when eating out, it’s better sometimes to cook it at home. Miss you guys and your videos!

Hey derek/catherine , great to see a long video again as we were getting withdrawal symptoms, my auntie and uncle live 5 mins away in canoga park from Westfield

If they severed that crap here in Texas they would be out of business in a week

$40 for a small tray of Bbq, rip off

Yall was eating like yall was at a buffet today lol all yall was missing was a shake I can't go to shake shack without a shake lol

Video great as usual, but Texas BBQ in a food court. I have a hard time seeing that called Legendary. Legendary Texas BBQ is only open until they run out and you stand in lines for a long time to hopefully get some.

Another wonderful video, from my two favourite americans ❤👍👍You two rules 👍🙃🙂👍❤️

You guys don’t seem impressed at all. Guess don’t believe the hype!

not the metric system....quarter pound is only 4 oz.

oh my goodness! we miss you guys!

Come on guys, with all the places to eat in LA you pick a food court in a mall?

So, okay BBQ, but not as good as the expectation from the name Slab. Any chance you guys find some better BBQ places in LA?

The best cheese cake is at Starbucks . It’s to dye for , creamy chocolate !! You’ll be surprised . I won’t eat at the cheese Factory anymore !

Nice video thanks but go back to Vegas is better ❤

Y’all took Kendrick’s minivan to the spot?

I love Shake Shack. I just wish there were as many in the UK as there are Five Guys.

Try Bludso's in L.A. and now Santa Monica. They outgrew Compton. They from Texas and the brisket is so tender and smoky. Valet parking for bbq! They moved where people can afford the food. Considered a contend er for some of the best in the country. Even so some of the best Bbq comes from behind bullet proof glass~

Two things as someone watching from England, having visited the states many times I really cannot believe how expensive it has become when visiting. It’s becoming extremely expensive to visit. And secondly why do you cut your food put the knife down and swap hands with the fork! 😂never understood it!

Please critique Burger King one day!

Your rating was very generous! That food was shockingly bad for the price and for BBQ in general

Great video.

Bears is where it's at, they won't short change you like they did, and you go up to the counter and order. It's like IRL bbq!

I agree the chicken looks good. no bread slices?

In my opion that was trash for the price brisked is hard to mess up pn a smoker.

Do you guys live in California now or just spending more time here? Love seeing you two.

Honestly I feel like almost all food hall food is like this. "Outposts" of popular locations that don't deliver on what the original had to offer + even higher prices because of the premium location. BBQ is especially problematic, and as a Texan born and raised, I would never trust any BBQ at a food hall, and here's exactly why: To make elite quality BBQ you need plenty of space to smoke the meats and no food hall location can do this in house. That means that they have to get their meats pre-cooked from somewhere else, and then they'll most likely just reheat it. Given that this place just closed their original location, who knows where they were getting their meats. Another good rule of thumb is good BBQ will always have a line, or at-least people outside eating it. If it doesn't, skip it and move on, you'll just be wasting your time.

glad to see you both, but this place you can keep. Missed your videos, but this place is way too expensive!

Derek RICE really???? Hello from New Zealand keep up the good work

That combo is too tiny guys. Come to Compton ca for real deal food! Topanga Mall is upper class for me!!!

I want to go just for the Sprinkles vending machine!

That seemed expensive for all you got! Mean portions at Slab.

The prices are insane for that . Looks terrible

Thanks for the video! That bbq looked pretty mid if I'm honest - esp for the price. Pass...

It seems Slab ain’t it. That is 100% embarrassing. That’s BBQ?

I enjoyed this whole trip to the mall that second place you ate at that looks so dry

Im in San Antonio TX, now im craving "real bbq" 😊

Shake Shack for the win! My favorite fast food burger. Too bad they don’t have it my neck of the woods(Vancouver). Only ever had it in Vegas.

Hi guys, for most famous I’ve never heard of Slab. Bludso, yes, Dr. Hoggly Woggly (sp?) yea. Baby Blues yes. Slab, no. Hell even Famous Dave’s is more “famous.” Try Bludso, I met him once before he opened his stores. He had a tow smoker behind his truck and parked on the street next to the West L.A. Best Buy. OMG the smell. The taste! Wrote down his name now he has places, far from me but, oh my. Joe

Loved your fun food review! Also very refreshing to see how much you both slimmed down!! Very Kool!!

The Food Terrace (food court) is better than the Food Hall

California is in freefall and to see this beautiful mall mostly empty is sad. Everything there is hurting except the tech giants of course.

That bbq is mid at best and the brisket looked dry AF

Luv yall content for good authentic Brazilian go to fogo de chao
