[@JoseFlores-kl6jm]

Jon, I'm hoping that next year I will get to visit NYC again !

[@dominickgiannotti]

Was just in nyc this Saturday and stopped at a bunch of your recs. One of my favorites has to be that place in Chinatown for the $5 steam buns in the abandoned mall. Thank you for your guides!

[@tysonb3568]

I live in NYC. My Family is from Mississippi,....people have been serving real food at Gas stations like that FOREVER.... 😂😂😂 Some of the best food ive ever had.

[@Marvel_Polaris]

We ain't never getting sick 🤢 . Get me two of those smack 😋 burgers 🍔 i wonder if they have Swiss cheese as well. I didn't even realize 😔 that places served burgers and fries. Superb that you showed this 👏 #HereBeBarr Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@sopdox]

$4.29 for gas downtown. I’m in Queens and paid $2.95 yesterday.

[@Smart_Think]

More of this! All that food looked amazing

[@yankshomer7267]

Bring Evan back ❤❤❤❤

[@Blackandblue200]

This is one of the best food videos!

[@honorrolls5415]

All that gas station food is an amazing find and an amazing value. Another fun and informative video. Thanks

[@surfboard396]

Hi Jon. Been to the first one. Very good. Thanks for the other ones. Great reviews. Subbed to your brother. Bring this guy back , very cool. 👋🏽

[@robatsea2009]

After watching you guys enjoy all of this great food I couldn't help but think there's got to be a video on trying NYC's secret bathrooms at some point 😆

[@AntonWongVideo]

the second one with the fried chicken looked OH so good! and the hidden gem of the 3rd one!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks Anton!!

[@ivangong7384]

Evan is awesome, HE MUST RETURN AGAIN!!

[@andreszabo8655]

I went from Holland with my Daughter to Manhattan for her graduation and went to Smacking Burger and it was really good

[@mariella4185]

Hi Jon! Really missing Ben this holidays, could you do a special video with his favourite restaurants??

[@hereandthere4751]

W cohost💯

[@jraybay]

A classic case of don't judge a book by its cover lol. Good to bring attention to these places. A lot of people might pass by not expecting such good food to come out of a gas station Also, 🗣 hell yeah, Evan's back! You guys bounce off each other so well

[@CapitalQ]

Went here a few months ago, genuinely one of the best burgers I've had in Manhattan

[@HereBeBarr]

So good

[@Digital.Done.Right.]

More Evan!

[@dannybryan88]

Whats the best burger near times square we land at 15:30 so will only get to our hotel tempo by hilton at times square about 7pm so looking for a burger to blow my taste buds away close by . 😋

[@Vietnamese_Food7]

I want to try it once, it looks delicious

[@zappa1971]

We had the best gas station food in Louisiana for years. Smoked boudin can not be beat.

[@letsrolloutnyc]

I’ve had smacking burger and it was good. I still need to go to fry factory.

[@johnoleary148]

That was a bit different Jon. on't think you had done any places like that before. Good to see. Looked decent but it was junk food basically. Not exactly healthy but nice to have every now and again. I am sure the fried chicken which definitely seemed a thing was very nice and tender. Not a fan of Halal food and how it is produced. Amazing the trends New York creates. Glad you enjoyed it. The best New York KZbinr.

[@ProvocateuAstrology2]

Great video

[@DiJourne]

Bring Evan back-pronto!! 😄🩷

[@SahanaChakrabarty-i9z]

Hi, John Barr. Would love to do these food vlogs with you.

[@wayfarereins]

From what I understand, most gas stations don't make much on gas. So if they're doing something unique with food or snacks that you enjoy, support them!

[@stephenbutler463]

from the UK, they all looked delish

[@Jaykilla1981]

That lettuce looks great

[@ishmaelhouston-jones8692]

Bring Evan Back !!!

[@Jsfrog]

Haven't even watched yet but that burger looks like a heart attack. And I want one! 🙂 (The burger, not the heart attack.)

[@HereBeBarr]

hahha good choice.

[@DabsDad]

the chicken reminds me of the gas station chicken in NOLA

[@ScottVansel]

The best BBQ spot in Kansas City (Joes) is in a gas station😊

[@roscoemuttley]

Near my work in North Seattle, there used be a Spirit gas that converted the Quizno's to a taco shop, its was always packed with Mexican guys on lunch and it was cheap. (6 tacos for 5. in 2018) Huge line and the Spirit owner always looked a little mad all his spots were taken over for the taco place. He's got his own building now, but the tacos have switched to 5 for 10. Rent, I guess.

[@HereBeBarr]

$2 a taco still way cheaper than here.

[@isabellawong8744]

Can you recommend a comedy club or jazz club in NYC ?

[@joevecchio4687]

Every one is good or great Be adventurous

[@edythereal]

Can anyone help me out? Don't know what would be better place to stay in ny. For sighteeing and best places to visit mostly by walking. Holiday inn express ny chelsea or hotel indigo lower east side?

[@NorbertGorecki-xd7xx]

Eating should become my hobby paying attention during through thy day all muniches flame up. Fast food represents inside whole ball game.

[@markgolden504]

Gas Station food, without the Gas. The 3 restaurants sound wonderful.

[@nithinlycanz]

Bring Evan Back!!!!!!

[@dev9184]

wow Blue Hour is so sick omg

[@abuzarveshamiya1886]

bring evan back

[@Dusty_617]

Gas station food is a staple in the south. Weird to see it come to nyc lol

[@adambuesser6264]

Is there a restaurant in NYC that serves Thanksgiving specials for the day?

[@Mikefeher1313]

Probably 200+ restaurants would do something special for Thanksgiving most common would be a 3-7 course meal depending on your budget

[@adelahmed3423]

How much do a tour guide charge for a day

[@harisai1199]

why does the guest look like uncle Aaron Davis aka Prowler XD from spiderman miles morales.

[@damondunn5994]

Hook me up to these burgers right now

[@HereBeBarr]

Hell yeah

[@concept8407]

Bring evan back tf!!!!!!!

[@jdo333]

I'm hungry

[@actualstarfish3449]

Evan was great! He was a bit too superlative on everything though. Tell him that viewers appreciate honest takes too! But yes, bring him back.

[@evandoyle4930]

Sorry, food just makes me So happy haha. Real talk though everything here exceeded my expectations, and that's being honest.

[@manuelrodriguez8153]

🤤🤤🍔🍔

[@derekeloury8425]

That oil at the fry factory frying that chicken is old and bitter as hell 😢

[@mrz5705]

Come to the UK, eat at a service station, drain your wallet and within 3hrs be close to ER.

[@rexhua4833]

Who says food in gas stations are bad.

[@the_sharply_dressed_gentle6079]

Yah don't drive in Manhattan

[@martinjefeslash]

man, you need to stop that horrible scam sending whatsapp messages..horrible.

[@paulcat75]

Why is now everyone is making smashburgers …there everywhere now …where were these burgers back in 1989..1997 no smashburgers..please explain this to me

[@Chocolatepain]

Because it's a new trend since like 2010

[@the_sharply_dressed_gentle6079]

Pause

[@TheNitpicker]

please don't ever use that bassy swoosh sound for the fly in animations again. Maybe your editor has no proper headphones/speakers but my whole room is shaking every time there's overlay coming on the screen, also it's just getting obnoxious and annoying very quickly. Besides that great video as always

[@irmaiz133]

Yep, I am alone home and panicked a bit. 😅

[@MrKingcarella23]

karen

[@conradnitty3714]

The sauce on them burgers are trash

[@hemaccabe4292]

That's not char grilled. It's pan fried chicken. Char implies a grill. False advertising.

[@nychris2258]

Did he really say he didnt know we had gas stations in New York? 😂 And why does he keep acting like its normal to not know how to drive if you live in New York? This dude is out of his mind.

[@Chocolatepain]

I took it as more of a joke but it's still odd

[@kaceecruson9532]

Seems like the black dude is very familiar with meat packing...😂

[@XinFlorida]

I don't doubt that the food is good, but eating while smelling gasoline fumes? No thanks.

[@HereBeBarr]

I always liked the smell of gasoline as a kid, strange fact.

[@aasim8]

Hi guys. I guess some of the fascinating food is in ⛽️ 🏪. There is a gas ⛽️ station outside of Rochester, New York that serves NY style of rice 🍚 dishes. They have wings and deep dish pizza 🍕. Halal. 🥖🫓🌶🍟🍗🍔🥙🌯🌮🥘🐓🥩
