American Reunites with Canadian friend after 18 months…Tries Canadian Food!

[@JosephD]

This was an amazing day. I think my fav is him hugging Swiss Chalet. Next time where do i take him? And don't forget the first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/josephdebenedictis10211

[@MrClebe]

Cool. I'll try it. Also hi.

[@JosephD]

@@MrClebe Hii!! :D

[@domwatts8314]

Take him to CasaLoma perhaps or maybe Fear Factory or Haunt Manor in Niagara or Fear Farm (Ayr, Ontario) in anticipation of Hallowe'en! Love you guys! So entertaining and you can tell you are both so genuine. My hubby & I look forward to the next video. Be well!

[@jenmallette5925]

Thank you thank you thank you! Brought a big smile to my face, watching you two meet up for reals again. Love your show guys. Always brightens my day. And extra happy i was able to get a free trial 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@marklittle8805]

Bring him up for Canadian Thanksgiving Joseph...he and his family. You guys are clearly brothers from other mother's

I’m a 37 year old man and I just cried when those two hugged.

I would LOVE to see a Canadian-American Thanksgivings episode!

[@JosephD]

Yes we want to. Trying to make it happen. Not sure yet

[@chrismcduffie4888]

It’s a whole bunch different, at least in my experiences. We still celebrate both. The turkeys are the same but all the sides are different.

[@RaspingPompano2]

Is Thanksgiving Canada on a different day or month?

[@FoodPaparazzi]

@@RaspingPompano2 Canada’s Thanksgiving is on the second Monday in October.

@@chrismcduffie4888 What are the American sides?

[@dieselgrandpa4181]

My son in law is Canadian, he hasn't seen his family in almost two years. He now has a daughter and a second on the way, my granddaughter is the joy of my life and I pray soon her Canadian grandma and aunts, uncles and cousins can meet her soon. It's so heartbreaking.

[@JosephD]

All the best. It’s a tough situation for sure.

[@ser132]

My brother-in-law is an American living in Canada, and hasn't seen his family, except for a brother also I Canada, in a few years now. I know it's hard on them for his parents to not see his kids.

The cutest thing is witnessing Jason display unbridled emotion when they hugged. Almost worth the lockdown. Almost.

[@colettedesjardins4012]

Very late to the reunion, but man was that satisfying. So great to see you guys together again. Brought legitimate tears to my eyes when you two hugged. Now I want one of those doughnut sammies 😋

[@colinaustin5905]

I loved seeing this video of 2 great friends getting together again after 18 months apart! Keep the video's coming!!

[@tusk3260]

Ok now that borders are open again you MUST visit Bulk Barn with the "American" he is going to have the same reaction he had with our bagged milk. Looking forward to seeing his reaction. The US has nothing that sells in bulk like Bulk Barn... AKA the Canadian CANDY STORE!

[@jaimewhynot9929]

As a Nova Scotian, I'm glad you got to try a donair and enjoyed it! Next thing to try is garlic fingers dipped in donair sauce.

[@greghelmer]

that was GREAT!

[@suebabcock3651]

When an American buddy brings you extra Watchamacallits, it is definitely a beautiful friendship. Not going to lie, this Ontarian teared up watching your reunion after so long. Looking forward to all your vids guys, thank you!

[@JosephD]

Thank you Sue!

[@JennyMorash]

You guys just totally made my day! Not just because you got back together, because of the Donaire! You just warmed the heart of this Halifax girl. Here, you can’t go to blocks without running into a Donaire place.

[@JosephD]

That sounds like a magical place.

[@mayloo2137]

I'm in Calgary. We have donairs too. Not like the Hailfax ones though, I don't think. I've tried gyros. Donairs are definitely better.

[@JennyMorash]

@@mayloo2137 that makes me ridiculously happy to hear! I am all in favour of donairs spreading across the nation.

[@JennyMorash]

@@JosephD it is indeed a land of wonder and sweet sauce.

[@michelpage4877]

All of you Greek restaurants across Canada who make Gyros and try to pass it off as a Donair TAKE NOTE: the secret is in the “sweet sauce”. And also in the rolling spit of compressed meat. It’s a Maritime province’s thing. The taste is so much different, not to mention better, than a Gyro! I’m a Maritimer by birth now living in Montreal and every time that I go back to New Brunswick, I need my “Greco Donair” fix because Gyros just doesn’t work for me. So glad Joseph Debenedictis put this on the menu.

[@chevyrell]

This made me so happy!!!! I want to try ALL THE THINGS!!!

[@omagaud9997]

Jason: Look at all the Canadians Me: Yeah that’s mostly what we have in Canada So happy to see you two together again. I especially liked the slo-mo sprint to reunite. 😢

[@shannonl7694]

Mmmm presidents choice white Mac and cheese is delicious, add chopped bacon to take it up a notch, we haven't had Kraft dinner in our house since discovering the white cheddar goodness . So happy to see you reunited!

[@mariapapadopoulos3640]

Thanks for adding the slow run and hug to each other!

[@BigTBad]

Noting better, than reheating the rest of a donair, in a frying pan the next day, along with the rest of the sauce.

[@marlene3584]

That’s so nice. So glad to see you two together again. Have missed your videos. The remote ones weren’t quite the same. Know what you mean about missing the products from the States.

[@spiritsky111963]

this was so cool. Thanks for this

Happy to see the reunion! Love your channel

[@tas22222]

awe you two almost got me teary eyed

[@DragonflyenAmber]

Until recently my niece was unable to come home to visit since she lives in the US with her hubby. Seeing this really hit home, so glad to see you guys together again! Here's to more reunions of family and friends and less restrictions.

[@aldonco]

You Canadians are so blessed to have your swiss chalet restaurants. We are still pissed here in the Buffalo area because they left. Glad to see you guys unite again.

[@dirtbagkeith6556]

Awesome guys! My mother-in-law is coming from Canada in a few days. I hope we can get up there soon to see everyone else.

[@mayloo2137]

I'm behind. Didn't realize they were separated because of the Covid restrictions. Good to see these two meet in person again. Here in Calgary, we have a pie chain called The Pie Junkie with a fourth store added recently.

[@dianafancy6634]

This shows me how much to two are true friends it made me cry. You two are amazing

Awwwww I’m so happy to see you guys reunited!

[@evileyeball]

You make me miss my brother, he moved to Virginia with his wife just before COVID began. and the rest of her family is in Ontario and the rest of our side is here in BC. Lucky we have been able to video call them and talk to them throughout the time

[@marlene3584]

Loved your video.

[@waynemclaughlin8937]

You know you're in for a treat when you tune into a Joseph DeBenedictis video, and that is why I subscribed to his KZbin channel. Cheers! 🍻

[@talksmoke1190]

Hi guys was watching your videos. if you ever return to montreal you have to do a smoke meat crawl, and also a steamie/michigan search. Although many people feel Plattsburgh has the best michigans. Cheers

It was great to see you and Jason together again. I was a little surprised anybody won the race after seeing your Canadian adventure.

[@filmcrew3531]

Welcome back to Canada Jason! 🍁The Bromance Continues!!!

[@Brooksie603]

I'm so glad you guys can meet up again. It will be fun for you to have each other over for your Traditional Thanksgiving dinners too. Can Jason open a PO box in the US for subscribers to send things to the channel? Sending stuff to Canada has a bunch of paperwork and you have to detail every little thing and it costs a lot. If someone from the US mails to another person in the US its not as bad and then he could bring it to Canada next time you get together which I assume you guys will be doing a lot more often to catch up on lost time.

[@lindahoover1540]

So silly excited. Seeing two guys I don't know visiting each other. It would be nice to have a meet and greet. You guys are great.

Seeing you 2 hug, and have so much fun. Just made my year... ♡♡♡

[@56jetman]

Great video. I live in Buffalo and before the pandemic I crossed into Canada about once a month. You touched on so many of the things I love about Canada. Swiss Chalet, poutine, nanaimo bars, butter tarts...wow! I never had a donair though. They look delicious. Where's the closest place to Buffalo to get one? You missed out on Beaver Tails though. I get one every chance I get (just sugar and lemon, though - not those gooey ones). Can't wait to make it into Canada again once the border opens fully. I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@matty6311]

So happy for you guys. It must have been my allergies during the scene of you two reuniting! 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸

[@Rigel_Chiokis]

There are a number of US cereals not allowed in Canada (Count Chocola, Frankenberry, Boo Berry, Fruity Pebbles etc) because they fall below our nutrional standards. In other words, they don't qualify as food in Canada. LOL Nothing but sugar and chemicals. But I do miss my Frankenberry! I don't know you guys; I've only seen the video of him trying to drink milk from a bag in the parking lot (ROFL) but it still made me smile and brought a tear to my eye when you hugged.
