Thank you COVID for bringing Jesse's hair to its best ever style. Good to have you back lads.

I think Hoss decided to delete their comment... 🙈

Jesse, what hair product do you use? Sick style m8

[@uscitizen3252]

Agreed. It looks great and suits him very well.

your video quality is so good! seriously deserve 10x this number of subs.

Caitlyn Malfoy Thanks for your support 😊

[@MendesPerezTina]

I agree !

[@adrianmclean2236]

As flight crew I only had 1 or 2 days in a city at a time and your videos are like my travel guide. Especially for people who have done all the touristy things already and just want to enjoy the city. Keep up the great work you guys!

[@gr3g9373]

This makes me feel feelings again. Thank you TopJaw

[@topjaw]

Greg Lafuente Haha! Glad you feel alive!

are we all just gonna pretend like we didn't see Jesse's modeling shots? 👨‍🦯

I jumped when I realized what the notification was for. And that’s a big dude!

Really appreciate the love and support .......... we’ll the support at least 😊

Yes he's absolutely Gorgeous. Too bad I'm all the way in New York. Haha

[@aprilhan6180]

Wow! The production is awesome, you guys are getting so professional! Thank you for sharing this amazing experience, at least for someone who's STILL in quarantine, I get to fantasize the lifestyle I used to enjoy a a lot and dream about my next trip! Seriously thanks!

[@topjaw]

It won't be long April! Thanks for the support

[@michaelfelsinger-k2i]

Big Lew ! A proper London character ! Great show Jess and Will. Yes, I went to the beigel joint in Brick Lane in 2017 - actually, several times - and wanted to pack them up and take them back to Sydney with me. That salted beef was amazing !

[@_AndrewYee]

Post lockdown doesn't mean end of social distancing. COVID has not just gone away

[@utkarshgupta7315]

And will never go it's a viruses.. it will be here forever like many other viruses

[@_AndrewYee]

@@utkarshgupta7315 Maybe, Hopefully there will be a vaccine for COVID and it is 100% effective and it is no more. Hopefully its like Smallpox which is no longer a thing because of vaccines. But then it could be like the normal flu which is still about and even though there is a vaccine, its not an 100%. I believe that it reduces risk by 40-60%

[@alfiepiper903]

one of the best ones yet guys! big Lew=solid lad, much love, keep it up guys!

[@nicholasgrobler1551]

I was wondering if Big Lew had gone into hiding and started behaving himself haha. Welcome back, guys!

[@kimiefabulous]

I don't think I could love this video any more. I was mesmerized, and glued to the screen the entire time. I will bookmark all these eateries until I can travel to London someday (from America).

[@Nomadic_Quest]

I literally found your channel 2 days ago and I'm already in Awe with the editing, quality and overall video and content you guys have come with . Keep it up . You guys deserve so much love 🌟

GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK BOYS. I would love to 'bump' into you all. Or better yet be a part of a YT video. Otherwise just simply happy to see you all well and back up and running here!x

Finally! Stay safe, you guys x

[@MrGenesisSantos]

Glad to know you're back filming! But please stay safe and healthy these days!

Good to have you back lads 🙏🏼 American here absolutely love seeing a classic regional burger making it overseas!! 🌊🌊 Big Lew gets big ups besides chucking the pickles 🤣

[@gwyn4374]

Always, awesome content and that pickle throw is epic! Stay safe guys.

[@UnderSurveillance335]

Loved it. Only thing that is missing.... Is a whole lot more content! Don't stop now... 😉

[@maguzzy]

Great!!! Nice to have you boys back in town. Thanks for the vids and the food tour, can't wait to go back to London, once it opens up to Americans.

[@starmc91]

Lew hijacked the show lol glad to see you back in action, can't wait to visit London!

[@cesarbahar786]

Great to see back! And your food cities videos. 🤗🏡

[@windorchard_70]

I love you guys and your wonderfully crafted videos! They always make me feel good, and they make me want to visit the UK more than ever! Because of this, I feel compelled to say that I worry deeply about you and your crew and want you to stay safe and healthy. Please keep wearing your masks for a bit longer (and stay socially distant). We aren't done with Covid-19 just yet, even if some in our respective governments would like us to believe otherwise. Please stay safe!

[@bonnielau6881]

Completely agree. Love the video but please do not spread the perception that the pandemic is in anyway over where we can just be sitting next to each other interacting closely.... that would be irresponsible.

[@mariannecruz1516]

It’s nice to see normal life in London! Ugh I miss London! Great content and Beigel is the best!

Europe already in 'post-lockdown' Meanwhile Americans just sitting here like

[@stucumins8511]

Yes but most people are not out and about like before, and case numbers are creeping up in several countries in Europe....COVID 19 is still around. The lack of distancing in this is a bit concerning.

[@user-ei7ed6zy9k]

the U.S. is doing slightly proportionally worse than the UK for cases (but that's cos the supply of test kits is huge) unlike the UK where the supply for kits didn't meet the demands until last month so it's an apples to oranges comparison. But the U.S. doing better than the UK proportionally for recoveries. It's not all glitz and glamour here in Europe like the media or your Twitter timeline is making it seem

[@antsly]

I wouldn't read too much into "post lockdown" yeah we're not under the strict lockdown we were, but social distancing is still a thing, there are still a lot of restrictions and life looks and feels very different

[@cadyg2531]

That’s cause y’all don’t listen and were all like what about my freedom as an American citizen 😂😂

[@alexandermulder651]

Take it as a compliment or not (although meant as such), honestly I believe that your show is on par with No Reservations and Parts Unknown. Hope you guys get to do more of the US in the future
