Best CHEAP Buffet! ULTIMATE Amish BREAKFAST BUFFET & "Drive-thru" Vietnamese Pho in Florida

[@SurlyDeath]

Amish and Vietnamese are two cultures I never thought I'd see in a single vid. Nice work, Mikey! 💯

[@melissalovett9828]

My family eats at the Der Dutchman all the time! I love they're food, and we always buy their jellies and breads before we leave. Its a wonderful little place.

[@emilywynstra]

What a darling story about eating biscuits and gravy at a diner during your college days! I love how specific foods can be so nostalgic!🥰

[@KingDavinci07]

Dude I clicked on your notification by mistake and suddenly I notice you on my town Sarasota hahaha so epic you came here!!!

[@dnblover6136]

By mistake🤣🤣

[@amythenaturenut]

YAY for growing up in small towns in Missouri!! I grew up in tarkio/westboro before moving to Kansas City at 21, and people don't understand the epic quality of food from Midwest small towns. Legendary.

[@mariaferreras4369]

Amish use fresh items. From farms. All are exceptional bakers and cook wonderfully.

[@Tony_M]

Cardiologists love him.

[@RightDoc]

Der Dutchman always good food. Unfortunately over the past few years they’ve gone to some cheaper ingredients. Used to be real potatoes for mashed, now taste like boxed. Cream pies were real whipped cream but now fake cream topping and the price has gone up. Overall Chicken fab, great ham n meatloaf. Excellent salad bar and their fudge is to die for. Place n bathrooms always clean. All the peeps are nice and very very hardworking folks! Glad you got to try it out!

[@ceegee100]

Agreed, I think it was better when it was Troyer's. Thank goodness the chocolate iced Bavarian cream donuts haven't changed!

[@Bombshellsluv89]

Everything is amazing, perfection, a hint of umami, or tender, melts in your mouth to this guy! The food looks like basic buffet food. Stop the Cap! I honestly think Mikey just has a food addiction.

[@PinoyReactMedia]

Have you tried this buffet though?

[@aroonpandya424]

Fried in a pressure cooker is how many fried chicken company works to this day. That is how Colonel Sanders started KFC by traveling and showing that technique

[@mmmpotstickers8684]

If you're a cook, you know it as a Henny Penny.

[@Donna-zc9ii]

That donut was a Bavarian custard. My absolute favorite donut of all time. Yum.

Was always my favorite dd item a million years ago... ❤️

Bro starts shaking his head before he even puts the food in his mouth at this point

[@Stormvogel262]

Ah that's so good.....

Yeah when he knows it's going to be good he just goes ahead and shakes his head already.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬“ “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on HIM that sent ME, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the LORD;” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Repent of your sins and be saved!! JESUS CHRIST died for our sins, so that we could have eternal life! JESUS CHRIST is our Lord and Savior! Repent of your sins and be saved!! JESUS CHRIST is our LORD and SAVIOR and HE loves you There is absolutely nothing more important in your life right now than making sure that you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Please don't die without knowing Jesus Christ!

[@MaskedRiderChris]

You're making me want to go to FL now more than ever, Mikey! Especially for the Chinese joint, because if you like it, it's got to be good.

[@limlianhui9462]

The fried crispy hash browns look more like Swiss Rostï - shredded batter fried potatoes loosely clumped together into largish a pancake. Hasbrowns should be a bit more compact.

[@SephirothsQueen777]

That stuff you called tomato gravy, might be stewed tomatoes thats blended smooth. Definitely eat that with biscuits!

[@flaminggodofthunder9212]

You never heard of broasted chicken before? WHAT??!!?!??

[@CarlGorn]

You grew up in the midwest and never heard of broasted chicken? That's a key buffet item at every single Pizza Ranch and loads of supper clubs here in Minnesota. There were 3 different places in my home town of 5,000 that served it when I was growing up, more in the surrounding towns.

[@cathygarvin]

I grew up in South Dakota and never heard of broasted chicken until today 🤷‍♀️

[@JennyEverywhere]

Fried mush is like fried polenta, a favorite of mine back when i could eat carbs. But biscuits and gravy was a real treat. Whenever I drove to or from my college town, I had to stop at a truck stop at the middle of the route. It was called "Dixie's", and they had the most wonderful food. The biscuits and gravy was 2 or 4 biscuits the size of your fist, flaky instead of crumbly, and a soup bowl full of thick and rich sausage gravy. Utterly delicious. I opted to get the two biscuit order with a couple of scrambled eggs, and some hash browns. Broasted chicken is indeed better. Theoretically, KFC started with broasting, but it's easy to cheap out on it by cooking the chicken TOO fast. It's cooked completely, but it isn't nearly as crisp and juicy.

[@jnb775reno]

Gota give it to you man you know how to eat always making me hungry

[@sheiksamad8877]

Never woulda thought to see Mikey Chen come to Ocala !!!

[@ladygreer9323]

Hey Mike. You get it right most of the time with the meals. I love breakfast. Me n my family will eat it for dinner(anytime). Deliciousness!! Happy Tuesday, Enjoy!! 🐞😋🌹🩷

[@CarlGorn]

Those 1919 barrels of root beer are ideal for family barbecues. The adults have their keg, and the kids have theirs.

[@katiehaley2850]

Sometimes I think Mike’s love for middle school cafeteria nostalgia food ends up hyping food that doesn’t deserve to be hyped so much 😂

[@jlaw7027]

been wanting to try the pho place. now that it has your approval, ill be sure to try it now. thanks. hope to see you in the orlando area sometime.

[@shrek420ify]

Where is that pho place at I’m local to central Florida kind of want to check it out.

I agree on the corned beef hash and biscuits and gravy. The two best breakfast foods.

Gotta remember to go for the pho next time I visit Orlando again. And the $5 candy buffet....yessss!!!!

[@SaixOrg13]

The candy place isn't in Orland, it's about 1.5 hours north of it.

[@maggiew2167]

In Utah we call cheesy hashbrowns, Funeral Potatoes. We cook them au gratin style and top them w crushed corn flakes w melted butter and it bakes a sweet crispy crust. It’s our State dish

[@SimplyMariaC]

Mike, I live my life through you since I can't eat all this delicious food.😢

[@EricTheKei]

Have you ever eaten at Lambert's? It's in Southern Alabama, and it's on the way from Florida to Louisiana - It's the place where they throw bread rolls at you upon request. Southern comfort food (I recommend the chicken fried steak) and servers wandering around constantly offering side dishes that are simply included.

[@quichefan44]

Der Dutchman is GOATED

[@beckyallsopp5695]

In the UK we call your 'candy buffet' a pick n mix and they are everywhere. What disturbed me was how you didn't manage to pack as much as possible in that box. You need to perfect the art of squashing the sweets down to make more room

[@daniellealwyn3457]

Was super curious about the candy buffet! it's called pick a mix in the UK and very common 🤣

I love going to the candy buffet at my local Odeon 😂

[@limlianhui9462]

15:21 I think the duck is smoked first then fried or roasted. You get a similar flavour to beggars chicken or duck where the bird is rubbed in salt then buried for 6-8 hours in the ashes of a wood or charcoal fire.

[@jeffryjones4695]

I feel like I can cook the best biscuits and gravy 😅

[@shrek420ify]

Should have stopped at the flora bama had some shrimp. That drive from Orlando is long but there are some cool things to see

I guess I'm atypical, because I prefer thick cut, chewier cooked bacon. Crispy bacon tastes too burnt for me most of the time.
