How does a Floating Food Truck work?!!

AD | NEXT STOP SAVANNAH, GEORGIA! British Chef Ben and his mates Jamie and Mike are over 4000 miles from their homes in London to review some more incredible USA Southern Food!!
In just 48 hours, they must learn all they can about the local culture and cuisine before hosting a DINNER PARTY for local chefs, food writers and Savannah natives to showcase what they’ve learnt about Southern hospitality and food. Can they impress their guests with such little time to learn?!

“This is banana pudding, but here they call it banana puddin’.” Mike taking the cultural differences in strides over here 😂

[@bamachine]

Not just "pudding" vs "puddin'", it is bah-nah-nah vs Buh-nan-nuh. Also, that looked like the real deal, not that bs made with instant pudding that some places try to pawn off as nanner puddin.

[@cassadypalmer5776]

I love these travel videos! I've used so many of them to get food ideas when traveling to the same places (so far Portland, OR, Louisville, New Orleans, and Mike's mini-stop in Vegas). But the thing I've taken the most from these videos is "ask the locals", and I now do that whenever I travel somewhere the Sorted crew hasn't visited.

[@SortedFood]

That’s seriously the best thing you can do, ask a local 👍

[@patriciaturnham453]

Another tip we've learned is, if you are visiting an ethnic enclave like Chinatown, is watch where the l9cals eat. If a restaurant is full of tourists, avoid it like the plague. If it's full of locals, you are guaranteed an authentic experience.

[@Chunkosaurus]

One important thing to highlight about Southern buttermilk biscuits is the type of flour that is used. They are made with white lily flour which uses soft red winter wheat which has less protein and gluten than standard all purpose which gives southern biscuits the lightness that is desired

[@AB2B]

I was hoping someone had mentioned this. Yes, the flour is a *huge* part. Without White Lily and their biscuit recipe, my biscuits are what the family likes to call Tennessee fighting biscuits. ;)

[@Ashtari]

You can fake it by cutting all purpose flour with cake flour which is a MUCH softer flour. That's what I do, since I can't get proper flour for them.

[@nix10kodeey]

@@Ashtari Biscuit Head an amazing restaurant in Ashville NC does drop biscuits with both cake flour and all purpose and they're amazing!

[@demonposter]

Too true. Whole articles have been written about flour selection when it comes to making biscuits outside of the South. That soft wheat grown in the south may soon become a thing of the past due to large AG companies buying farms. The closest approximation most of us can get is low gluten flour for high loft while baking (like pastry flour).

[@john.adcock]

Sorted Team: This series is simply fantastic, and it's a really nice complement to the stuff you do normally. The respect and reverence shown for the food and culture you visit is so sincere. I can't wait to see where you go next. Bravo!

[@offthesidelines]

I was wondering why Wiley's BBQ looked familiar and then realized that Jolly (aka Korean Englishman, who have collab'ed with Sorted previously) also made a video about that place! They're doing a series on Southern US cuisine right now so if you haven't watched it yet, head over to the Jolly channel! Loads of hilarious moments in there as well as really some really nice interactions with various restaurants' staff.

[@ameliatbh001]

As a native of Georgia myself (nowhere near Savannah, though), we absolutely go above and beyond in the generosity department. It is a very real thing. There are exceptions, of course, but generally speaking most people will welcome you in like family and do all they can to make you feel at home. And after you live here long enough, you just get used to it. I've never been to Savannah, so I've never been to the restaurants y'all were at, but the welcome you got does not surprise me at all (nor does the food market in the gas station; that's as Southern as it gets too). Keep up the great work, gang!

[@Maruja7th]

I grew up in the South, living now farther north, and this video just made me want to jump on a roadtrip southbound so I can discover random, fresh country stores and hop on a boat just to feel the breeze! And my dad says the same thing with the 'fresh crab' bit, with the shell and all haha. Y'all make me proud to be a US Southerner with these vids!

[@oblivionsought7809]

Secrets to good biscuits: White lily flour (9% gluten vs the usual 12% for all purpose), working bits of very cold butter into the flour by hand, very minimal mixing and folding. Just enough to combine things and make some layers. They are surprisingly easy to mess up.

[@scruffythejanitor1969]

I'm convinced that White Lilly is either created by Wizards or is 20 percent pure cocaine. Every person I know who makes good biscuits swears by it, and it's hard to argue.

Sausage gravy starts with flour, milk, and the drippings from the cooked sausage. You can add a bit of cayenne if you want some more heat. Crumble the sausage in when it’s just about thick enough for your liking. Get those crispy tops by brushing melted butter over the biscuits in the last 5 or so minutes of baking.

As long as you avoid the big coastal cities, most of us aren't as bad as the stereotypes.

Cheers! PS… cut your biscuits on a folded piece of fabric such as a cotton tablecloth that has been well floured. The fabric gives while cutting which doesn’t pinch the edges of the dough and will allow them to rise high and fluffy when baked! 😊

[@barbarasmith2693]

I lived in Savannah (right next door to the Savannah Theater off of Chippewa Square on Bull St.!) for two years as a newlywed, a whole lot of years ago. The city will always have a little piece of my heart. The apartment where we once lived is a swanky hotel with luxury suites now. You even had a glimpse of the statue of General Oglethorpe from Chippewa Square flash by in the intro and I nearly cried when I saw it. Savannah is one of the best, quirky, eclectic, history filled cities you ever want to visit, The people are truly friendly, the scenery is gorgeous, and the architecture in the historic area is extremely beautiful. It is an absolute jewel box of a city. I have no doubt that you boys can master biscuits. Free tips for you: 1.)Make sure that your flour, bowl, chunks of butter, and buttermilk are all ice cold. 2.) DON'T OVERWORK YOUR DOUGH! And just an FYI, you don't have to have a high end, bougie biscuit cutter. A drinking glass with straight sides dipped in flour will do. So will a clean, dry, flour dipped empty tin can. Hope this helps. I look forward to seeing you all take on the buttermilk biscuit challenge. This was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for bringing back so may wonderful memories of Savannah.

The easiest way to make southern biscuits at home is with self rising flour and cold butter in a food processor. Add just enough buttermilk for it to come together and you got biscuit dough. Gently roll it out cut out rounds and bake and 355. Don't forget to butter the tops before baking.
