🇬🇧BRIT Reacts To TRYING SOUTHERN BBQ FOR THE FIRST TIME!

[@offthesidelines]

The funny part is that Josh (jean jacket/white sweater) is known to CONSTANTLY over-order from restaurants, a fact that Ollie and even Gabie - Josh's wife, a chef who was also a runner-up on Masterchef Korea - always complains about, so the fact that he's completely overwhelmed this entire video is hilarious. The follow-up video, where they go to the Waffle House the next morning after a night of drinking for Noah's birthday, is even funnier.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Fried okra is completely different than boiled okra. Boiled makes a good thickening agent though. Pecan pie is like molten lava fresh out of the oven.

[@lisapop5219]

True! You can't eat it hot like that. It's napalm that just sticks to your skin

[@Bacopa68]

And it's "peh-KAHN" as Noah said. That's how we say it where the trees are native and where we have orchards. And yes, it is the best pie. Also, we used green pecans blown off by spring storms as weapons. Another traditional okra dish is okra and tomatoes. Just cut up okra and fry it with garlic in a little oil and then throw in tomato slices. It's really good

[@Cricket2731]

​@@lisapop5219, The best way (IMHO) to eat pecan pie is to put a dollop of butter on top to cut the sweetness a bit. If the pie is cold, put the butter on it, then put it on the griddle under a danish dome with a squirt of water to reheat it.

[@DevinEDB]

Working in the restaurant industry for 6 years was some of the most stressful, fast-paced work I've ever done, but also the most fulfilling.

[@redstateforever]

Fried okra is southern popcorn, done right it is salty/peppery/crunchy, so tasty. Whenever I make it, I cook double what I think I need, because everyone in the house comes to stand by the stove and just eat it straight as soon as it’s cooked, lol (you do it in batches so it doesn’t get mushy). It’s unique and utterly delicious, it’s veggie crack!

[@davidnoel2977]

Every Southern state has their own spin on BBQ. And we all have a certain lineup of traditional southern foods that we also have our own spin on. So basically every state you go to in the South has great food. Chicken, seafood, BBQ, cornbread,beans and rice, jambalaya, etc. And a variety of desserts. The list is very long of southern foods that must be tried at least once in your life if you're not from here. Once again a great reaction Kabir. Much respect from across the pond in Mobile ,Alabama.

[@gapeach14]

So basically we're just amazing.🤣

[@davidnoel2977]

@@gapeach14 true true 😁

[@kitskivich]

Poor Kabir, you SUFFERED your way through this video. You have to do more Jolly videos; they're great. They filmed another video late night after this one. They were all lit after celebrating Noah's birthday and they found themselves at a Waffle House in the wee hours of the morning. Absolutely hilarious.

[@gigih.hammer306]

I can't find that video. How about giving us the link to that Video, please.

[@katw3070]

Noah is an amazing person! He’s a chef, he’s brilliant, he’s funny and he volunteers with World Central Kitchen which goes all over the world to feed those affected by natural disasters and war zones. He’s a very special guy.

[@pduidesign]

“I had southern BBQ when I went to Dublin” Everyone: 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣👍

[@wadeschalk4599]

I worked at a catering company for about 3 years where you’re making meals for 80-500 people and it was wild. Definitely can put you under pressure but I absolutely loved it and learned how to make quite a bit of stuff.

[@BeboRulz]

I tried to volunteer for WCK but there's a waiting list. Jose Andres is such a wonderful man. I would be honored to work with him.

[@douglascampbell9809]

I worked at a pizza place across the street from a high school and down the road from a collage. Tuesdays we had $1 slices. We sold around 3000 slices on Tuesday. Our pizza pans only held 8 slices and we only had 85 pans. That's not including breadsticks. That was crazy.

[@victoriaburch1367]

Fried okra with a sprinkle of salt (while it's hot) is delicious!

[@sharonjoan1970]

Love Jolly❤ This episode always makes me miss the South. Fried Okra is the Best!

[@camillep3631]

And pickled okra, too!

[@valeriekhall]

@@camillep3631 It's funny how COMPLETELY different the two dishes are, but both so quintessentially Southern. Y'all have to try both!

[@mandeepeterson2297]

Fried okra is generally a southern favorite. Folks who like it say it's the only way to eat it.

[@ClaytonBrownMusicOfficial]

They’ve since gone to Texas to try some of our best barbecue. They didn’t even bother with sauce.

[@Zachattack1cub]

Would love to see you watch their recent video where Josh and Ollie tried true Texas BBQ for the first time a few days back. Texas BBQ is a whole other ball game from most Southern American BBQ.

[@arnoldsherrill2585]

I'm one of the people that recommended you react to this video and it was worth it just to watch the expression on your face, while watching it!!

[@stevesuarez1903]

I was drooling the whole time.

[@ppresley9208]

Southern BBQ is something very special ... yum !

[@wiilli7685]

A lot of different eateries have their own homemade special recipes. You’ll always find great eateries in every state. Great that these guys landed at one of the best establishment.

[@andrearay5134]

I am loving listening to Noah speak about his passions to help people through his culinary skills! 🥰 very admirable

[@mindyg7064]

So glad you did a JOLLY vid! I've been a long-time subscriber and they're just such wholesome lads. I was never able to have children but I feel a kind of motherly pride and excitement watching them try new things and experiences as if they were my own boys.

[@wendellgee11]

It's intense in the kitchen when you're slammed with orders, then chill and fun in between. If you can't handle being yelled at, don't get into the restaurant industry. You can't take it personal if you want to keep your job.

[@worldssmallestfan]

9:50 in the sense that it thinks it’s the unquestioned greatest for all time into the future, yeah I’m sure the sauce is just like MJ.

[@user-gk9lg5sp4y]

Being a line cook when you're 'In the weeds' is super high pressure. Prep work, setting up your station or cleaning up after is pretty chill. Hospitality people party like no others

[@pambarab5506]

Jolly (Josh and Ollie) are so funny! Their channel is so eclectic, but I get entertained with whatever they are doing.

[@sslerlin]

There is definitely a difference between regular store bought BBQ sauce and a real homemade special BBQ sauce

[@davidludwig1492]

I worked my way from the bottom up to Executive Chef for over 30 years in various commercial kitchens since I was 15. Northern kitchens at least when I was still working didn't have air conditioning, and the summertime heat was nearly unbearable. You're right about the pressure and stress in a commercial kitchen; it has driven many to drug and alcohol dependency.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

I won't say "sauce is sauce". I will say you should pick BBQ sauce within wide categories (mustardy, tomatoey, white sauce, etc) and ingredient quality, but at a certain level within those limits they start to be similar. The meat and it's preparation is the real division.

[@serasotasadie]

Make sure you do the Texas BBQ vid they just posted as well, it's great!

[@monicamar8616]

“Southern bbq is delicious…. I was in Dublin” I laughed at that lol sorry

[@leannm1696]

Reno, Nevada has a massive rib cook off every year. It is amazing! Fried okra is delicious, you've got to try it crispy fried in cornmeal. Great video, much love from California ❤

[@ldavis7809]

lol I love Josh and Ollie and their reactions to American food is priceless. I saw this video. Noah was a riot.

[@gh41996]

There are a lot of food competitions in America, BBQ being at the front of a lot of them.

[@suzannesellers7383]

Kabir I love all your videos because you have such a range of interests and you never judge what is going on around the planet. You have a real love of life! I loved hearing about your BBQ experience in Dublin. Here where I live in Atlanta Georgia you can’t swing a dead *whatever* without hitting a bbq restaurant.

[@jessm89]

They also go to Waffle House, which is hilarious, and to a restaurant called Sweet Potatoes, which you'll love just for the food. It has southern fried chicken in the title. 😊

[@katherinetepper-marsden38]

Sweet Potatoes is SO good!

[@kitskivich]

The Waffle House episode is comedy gold.

[@sherryheim5504]

I had already watched this on Jolly, but loved the segment and thought it would be fun to watch you watching them. Plus, I love watching you crave food that is being shown, I can almost hear your stomach growling.

[@d-rot]

American cooking competitions are the best. There's Rib Cook-Offs, BBQ competitions, Chili Cook-Offs. They're foodie festivals. And they're everywhere.

[@jaimeknoble3315]

Fried okra is amazing when cooked right and if you use cornmeal for the batter. Just cut the okra into pieces, dip it in egg, then dredge it in straight cornmeal with salt, pepper, and a little cayenne pepper added in, then deep fry for a few minutes until golden brown and crispy. I love it plain or dipped in ranch dressing. Much better than okra dredged in flour.

[@jimcathcart5116]

In a kitchen it’s mostly chill when everyone knows their job so you just go through the steps

[@AC-ni4gt]

Even as a prep chef, it is a whirlwind. But it is a satisfying feeling that knowing people are enjoying what you've made.

[@ThatCronus]

Jolly is such a good channel. I hope you do more reactions

[@chrisester2910]

Kabir, the way you looked at that pie was pure love! Lol

[@tommc4916]

One of the best BBQ places in Atlanta (always comes top or near the top of local ratings) is Heirloom Market. It's a tiny place, run by a married couple (he's American, she's South Korean) and the place is always slammed with customers. You can get traditional American 'cue, but they also do kimchi slaw and gochujang BBQ chicken and turkey. You can dip your toe in the goodness by trying a sandwich or two before diving in headlong, and they have an extensive sandwich menu that rotates daily. Y'all come to Hotlanta and get ya some! 😊

[@LilBitnTx]

It can get pretty crazy in the kitchen. It’s also extremely hot. But it depends whether not it is busy or not. You just gotta make sure you stay in your own space and nobody runs you over. Lol.

[@LilBitnTx]

I prefer just basic pecan pie. It is super sweet by itself. But I also do love a good Mississippi mud pie 🥧😋❤️

[@Bacopa68]

Okra is the only crop we have in August gardens where I live. Everything else dies, though tomatoes sometimes revive in fall/winter. Cushaw squash will take over everything though, however hot it gets.

[@jasonsummit1885]

They just today uploaded a new video of trying Texas BBQ and they were absolutely blown away, almost emotional by the taste of it.

[@kdcbattlecreek]

I'm all with you. I've visited, but never seen any of those sides. I'm going to bed, but now I can't sleep. Hungry just watching this!

[@jeffsherk7056]

Tender okra is good sliced into pieces and simmered with tomatoes and your favorite spices.

[@babyfry4775]

Noah is so funny and Jolly is too. You should watch the video where he takes Jolly to Waffle House at 3am and he’s drunk. So funny. This stuff looked so good.

[@karenlynn6860]

Your always a joy to watch. I've loved your reactions for a couple of years. Thank you.

[@TexasRose50]

I’ll have you know, after watching this video, I got up and drove about 4 blocks down the street and bought a rib dinner! The ribs were so good I didn’t even use any bbq sauce. Had Mac and cheese and real crispy fried okra. I’ll sleep good tonight. 😁

[@dnyce330]

They have BBQ joint in London. It was on the food network. I don’t recall the name but I remember seeing the episode.

[@philmakris8507]

That post meal walk is difficult to achieve with BBQ and soul food bc it makes you sleepy.

[@DaInfamous0ne]

Memphis is having their annual Memphis in May BBQ competition next month. It's a worldwide event also.

[@jimcathcart5116]

Top bbq restaurants all make their own sauce they don’t buy it Their is a major bbq compitation Memphis in May where national champs

[@mildredpierce4506]

I’ve seen Memphis in May on the Food Network many years ago and have told myself many times that I need to go. All of that barbecue looks so good.

[@starparodier91]

My ex was a professional chef that was an intern at Alinea in Chicago. He still works in the industry but at a hotel bar and catering because it became too demanding as a chef for the pay he got. Amazingly talented guy with amazing work ethic and never takes a day off, but he realized he wanted a bit more out of life than the kitchen. All of his friends were in the industry so I’d hear wild stories.

[@pageribe2399]

This one was a lot of fun! I like vinegar based, thin barbeque sauce. I love Greek food. I've discovered that my barbecue sauce makes a fantastic dipping sauce for wrapped chicken scharma (I know I butchered the spelling).

[@LilBitnTx]

Those are not proper hot wings if they don’t have some kick to them. Our hot wings are usually very spicy. Of course they can come in different temperatures (mild, hot, Inferno, etc. lol). And yes, we do have a lot of competitions from anything from barbecue to how many jalapeños you can eat. We even have contest of steak eating. When it comes to food, the Dirty South is the best.🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️ You don’t have to use blue cheese. Some of us use ranch dressing.

[@JoshuaJones-iw5nb]

Dude is a superhero.

[@michaelbateman8469]

There are many, many, many cooking competitions in the US, with tons of sanctioning bodies. BBQ (with subcategories), beef (with subcategories, from here on WSB), pork (WSB), chicken (WSB), chili, Cajun (WSB), Tex-Mex (WSB), etc, etc, etc. Typical of modern competitions, those with the highest prize pools draw more

[@BeboRulz]

I tried to volunteer for WCK but there's a waiting list. Jose Andres is such a wonderful man. I would be honored to work with him.

[@LilBitnTx]

I’m not a big fan of baked beans. Because they’re sweet. I do love me some pinto beans. I prefer savory over sweet. When I make my beans, I use pinto beans, garlic, oregano, Camino. I will either add a hambone, or I will cut up some salt pork. And I Cook them twice. Because after I cook them the first time, I mash some of the beans to make the juice sticker. And then I cook them again adding more beans. This way I get a big pot of beans with really thick juice. It is the bomb. 🤤😋❤️

[@rohan1970b]

Fried is the only way I will eat okra, but I love it. Any time I go to a place that offers it, I ALWAYS get it. Where I live, the only place you can get it is Dickie's BBQ and they offer 2 sides with each meal. I usually get 2 sides of fried okra.

[@smallsparry]

I love Jollys other channel the KoreanEnglishman...great food content and they travel alot. ❤

[@JAFA251]

I love that you’re doing these reaction vids of Jolly! Josh and Olly are funny as hell so this is cool!!

[@juliayoung537]

Please watch the video where they went to Waffle House later that night with Noah, or should I say early next morning 😅❤

[@bwheels5087]

Agreed!

[@angelabordack]

That video is hilarious!!

[@jessm89]

I was going to suggest the same thing! 😂❤

[@tjk200081]

Yes, that is a MUST! 😂

[@flamingpieherman9822]

Just so you know, most people don't do that finger down the phone thing on their wings. That's usually looking for people who cook it and eat it on a daily basis. Usually the professionals or hobbyists. Most people just eat it with their fingers off the bone

[@GrouchyOldBear7]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

[@george217]

Jose Andres is the founder of World Central Kitchen. He's an amazing chef in his own right.

[@mildredpierce4506]

That place is Wileys barbecue and you can order their barbecue sauce online but they only ship within the US. I know Kabir you have mentioned that you have family in the US. You can purchase this sauce online, have it shipped to your family in the US and then have them ship it to you… securely packed.

[@TheCosmicGenius]

So, 1) these guys, Josh & Ollie, have another video that they recorded with Noah Sims on the same day as this one, in which they eat at Waffle House, which is a Southern institution. 2) They also have a video in which they try Superbowl snacks at yet another Kansas City style bbq joint in London. So, now you have somewhere else to try besides Bodean’s for KC style. 3) They mentioned in this video the National Barbecue Championships. These are held every year here in Kansas City. So, yeah - we know barbecue!

[@dizastro5437]

Brunswick stew is surely a Southern thing. Never knew how good...

[@juanorozco1971]

You should also try Korean BBQ, Brazilian BBQ both eating & reacting to videos about it i think you'll love it. Also Mexican BBQ or as we call it carne asada. Not to be confused with the taco meat asada which is actually where the name comes from asada means grilled on the BBQ. But in a carne asada its not just the beef. It includes chicken, chorizo, ribs, al pastor steaks etc.. with sides such as beans Mexican/Spanish Rice, cactus salad, pico de gallo salsas, etc...

[@doctorteethomega]

5:08 It is a a difficult, skilled, and honorable job. But it is rarely chill.

[@nolenhughes1775]

We have a sourdough grilled cheese where I work. It has cheddar, swiss, and american cheeses and we add pickled red onions, since you mentioned pickles lol

Each state has a different barbque sauce

[@azurepulse1870]

I worked behind the counter of a supermarket deli, and it was hard work. In one month I lost 30 lbs. It was painful, but it was worth it. And while this is southern bbq... Texas bbq brisket and ribs are a whole nother level.

[@christineharrison7815]

I LOVE fried okra….but let me tell you as someone that’s travelled the country….. I’m picky so only find the “properly prepared” ones 3 out of 10 restaurants. And as far as “champion” bbq sauce…I enjoy to many differing styles to ever pick 1 as “champion” 😅

[@JohnWarner-lu8rq]

Well... there are a lot of different championship BBQ sauces. Some are ketchup-based, some have more vinegar and some are mustard-based.

[@loveit7484]

Nothing better than good food!

[@wompa70]

If you drown the wings in blue cheese all you taste is blue cheese. My girlfriend makes smoked wings that are absolutely to die for. Apple, mesquite, cherry wood chips for 5 or 6 hours then 3 or 4 minutes to crisp on the grill.

[@brkaz5864]

So many different BBQ sauces, every chef has his own. Homemade from any chef or home cook is better than any bottled sauce. If you get a chance to visit USA, you must taste the different BBQs by region. Texas, North and South Carolina, Memphis, Kentucky, and Alabama are traditional to their specific region and the best in the nation.

[@MelaniePoparad]

Watching you just moan and salivate over this amazing jolly video is hilarious. I love these jolly videos. They are so funny and so open minded about the food. I love it.

This is torture I'm going to get me some BBQ ribs and brisket this week . There is a place walking distance from my house , that has great brisket . I will be going to Texas on May next month . Make sure I get some when I get there .

Bbq sauce is a serious business in the south! If you go to any decent grocery store, the bbq sauce aisle will floor you. The selection is huge.
