Mike’s suggestion of making a cocktail classy by putting a flower on it reminds me of my friends who insists that a cocktail isn’t a cocktail if it doesn’t come with a little umbrella. 😂

[@SortedFood]

Love those little umbrella's 😂

[@Anna-uh3jq]

@@SortedFood haha. I find them (and all other decorative toppings for drinks) usually quite annoying. They somehow always end up poking me in the face. 😂

[@ValeTam]

Threw in not one, but two garnishes for good measure 😂 flower and pineapple

[@matiascampbell2464]

This reminds me of what someone said wich was 'most fancy food are fancy because it has a large crustation somewhere on (preferably on top) the plate, neverminding if its good or not'

[@franciscodetonne4797]

At least it's not "a cocktail isn't a cocktail if it doesn't have a tail feather of a male chicken" 😂

[@kenbrown2540]

To this day I giggle every time a member of Sorted says "But first..." Picturing Ben and Jamie entering the restaurant hopping backwards. Father time can make me grow older, but he can't make me grow up.

[@SortedFood]

You're and OG with that line - love it!!!!

The second I read 'but first' I could picture ebbers and jay shimmying backwards 😂

[@Anna-uh3jq]

Very lovely to see how proud Ben is of Jamie when he performed well on the bavette challenge. #FriendshipGoals

[@user-wv8cs4si4n]

Have to admit we thought Ben would definitely win that ! We’ll done Jamie 👏🏻 they are just such a fantastic group of guys

[@jonirnmomba4130]

Of all the sorted videos Jamie seems in his element in the series in the Southern States. He takes to us like a duck to water when he visits us here in the south.

[@lachlansmith7398]

Great series! Now we need Sorted Down Under! Australia's food scene is fantastic!

[@SortedFood]

That would be SO MUCH FUN!

[@twistedpanache2387]

Hawaii please!! My daughter and I are HUGE fans!

[@lauracannon7857]

As a wayward Scot living in Texas, I LOVED this series. So much good food to be had here, and even better people to meet. Kicking myself that I didn't get to run into you lads when you were in DFW!

[@zacharyliles8657]

Fairs and festivals are such a phenomenal way to experience American culture. They're truly one of our most wonderful traditions imo. Their only purpose is just to exist to the community can come and enjoy being together and I think that's wonderful

[@nursultantulyakbaycats]

I love Ebbers' enthousiasm so much, the kinda guy you want to bring with you on a food trip for sure

[@jeanneferguson7124]

I will never get tired of seeing Jamie kick his heels together! Jamie's definitely going to win for trimming meat! Round Rock donuts look phenomenal! That donut was bigger than their heads! 1200 food trucks sounds like a challenge that I want to try to best! Those drinks by Ricardo sound delicious!! Now I wanna try their cocktails too! Watching them enjoying the various cuisines made me hungry! Barry saying breathing is important and he plans to inhale his! Ben will apparently do anything for wine! OMG, AMAZING PRIZE! Maybe they'll bring a doggie-bag home for the losers! Watching them relish every bite from Uchiko was an experience! Texas bbq risotto sounds amazing! Thanks Guys, for showing us why everyone should also want to experience Texas, especially Austin!

[@MildredCady]

My husband and I sometimes refer to food good enough to dance in your seat as”wiggle food.” Ben found wiggle food.

[@shirleycastle5170]

What a fantastic opportunity you all had. A memory that will never leave and a beautiful conversation to tell friends.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

What a fun trip! It felt so refreshing even though it was just me watching everyone be chaotic in charming surroundings.

[@SortedFood]

So glad you enjoyed it Pokhraj, thanks for watching!

Famous Last Words in Texas: “How big can this thing be?”

[@Buterfly4you]

Founded by Germany but have Belgium flag! That is so funny. Even I started to questioned myself 😂😂😂

[@sirBrouwer]

i noticed the same.

[@Southpaw535]

Feels symbolic of how loose a lot of Americans' claims to "heritage" seems to be

[@magaliedujardin3943]

I saw it too. o/

[@nadinel.1681]

matches the weiner on the menu

[@maromania7]

Because there's also a massive Belgian population, and many of the founding families were first-generation immigrants from Belgium. That's the thing with American cities, they're usually founded by two or three populations of immigrants looking for a place to call thier own.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

This series has really been a wonderful experience! Please guys consider doing a Texan themed pass it on and/or battle soon! while is all fresh!

[@beatricerobidoux9585]

No because if you actually listen you understand that they can’t just replicate it

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I love how the crew got to be part of the end. I hope they got to experience the good food and wine too. I've never been to Texas and I love seeing it through your experiences. Thank you and I look forward to next year's destination

[@lbcooley2386]

This had me laughing until tears on the watermelon contest. As always so respectful of other places and America loves you! Or I do! ❤️

[@bozoli26]

Barry willingly drowning in the sweet flavor of the watermelon was amazing 😂

[@christineh14]

When we were stationed in San Antonio our favorite event of the year was the Texas Folklife Festival, a huge celebration of all the people groups who made Texas. Music, dancing, activities, and food from every imaginable culture- a great memory from our time in Texas.

[@thebabsalmighty]

I love these travel/food trip vids. They are so great every time! Would love to see you guys head north to Canada and explore the food scene in Montreal & Toronto!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

20:36 The one time the Red Shorts would’ve come in handy.

[@sammulhall]

Ever since Lost & Hungry your travel content has consistently been some of my favorite videos on KZbin and this series is no different. Uchiko looked absolutely delicious

[@kellylaliberte548]

Jamie, I work for a German-based company and when I have visited, I notice that even there, the day that the company canteen serves the sausage plate is everyone's favorite. It's also 3 sausages there, but one is a currywurst, and it's served on a huge plate of chips. I laugh now when they say American portion sizes are huge.

[@matthewstutsman8814]

As a Texan I am so happy yall were able to come enjoy my state.

[@DaleyKreations]

So Canada next? 😊 Beavertails (NOT what you think), poutine, some amazing Indigenous chefs doing very cool things with traditional ingredients and modern techniques

[@christopherrogers7721]

I love watching Jamie with chopsticks next to ben with a fork

[@mollysoper3964]

Can't wait to see you guys explore more of the states! 🤠

[@MemeGremlin]

The pretzel that Jamie was holding. Man, that thing looks amazing. I would love to get one of those with some beer cheese.

[@ShiningAndStarstruck]

Garlic bread flavored pretzel with a chimichurri dipping sauce.

[@LadyRenira]

I love beer cheese so dang much.

[@DizzyBusy]

Yea, that doesn't look German, like, not at all

[@beatriceojea]

I was unreasonably proud of Jamie on the bavette challenge 😂 and I really want to try that lavender cocktail

[@patrickhannon4217]

Cool to see the Round Rock donut again, I remember that from one of my favourite Man vs Food episodes

[@SortedFood]

Their donuts are epic 😋

[@Shinino_Kage]

@@SortedFood Glad you guys had fun here. Was a fun episode to watch, and yes, Round Rock Donuts are epic -- and so is Uchiko. It remains one of my fondest memories, taking my mother there for her birthday and having the omakase.

FYI In the UK the Butchers cut is Onglet or "Hanger Steak" and that's purely because there is only 1 per cattle. Looks like you guys had a great time out there, and I've enjoyed this series immensely.

Thanks for stopping by Corpus Christi! :)

As someone who's from Austin, this episode made me incredibly happy to watch.☺I'm so glad y'all got to try Loro!!!! It's so freaking good

I actually lived in Round Rock, TX for ten years! Loved it! Never been to McDade, but awesome!

[@Relena25]

i've been saying this for some time now, but Jamie is not a "normal" he is a home chef. Maybe a bit of a lazy homechef, not really wanting to cook, but he can make and plate food worthy of a chef. Mike and Barry, catch up lol

[@cftyftyufyfuyfty]

Yeah Jamie's gotten real good now

[@benjamintarsa]

Ben and Mike are super lucky, Uchiko is AMAZING

[@jenniferlawrence2988]

I love the wine from Fredericksburg... so yum!!! Such a pretty town too.

[@elizabetheastman]

I’m drowning!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 gotta love Barry 😂

I'm from West Fargo. ND and I grew up with Sandy's Donuts, where they sold big fluffy donuts my best GF had for her birthday every year. Good stuff.

[@alorachan]

YAY So glad you actually got to do Austin! Been living in Austin for 28 years and I was worried you weren't going to make it since you hit all the other major cities. SO GLAD you made it to Round Rock Donuts, too! Definitely best classic donuts ever.

[@debbiew.7716]

I love Lucy Ben and Jamie style! LOL It truly is hard to find anything better on a summer day than BBQ, watermelon and let's add corn-on-the-cob:)

I was just at that Round Rock a month ago! Soo good!

[@AnonYmousxxx69420xxx]

I know how much that Ben hates doing these in the US, but it's so much fun to watch the boys genuine reactions and joy. As an American Chef, born and raised in the South, it blows my mind that they didn't know how well watermelon and BBQ go together. Add an ear of hot buttery corn and a glass of ice cold sweet tea and it's the perfect meal of Summer.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

9:55 Jamie channelised Reality TV Show Energy.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

15:56 Ben’s done a Wine course so I’m excited to hear what lies in store.

[@igarner6615]

So the fact you all went to Austin, Round Rock, Fredericksburg and McDade was fascinating. There’s still more to experience in Texas. Hope you make it back soon. Ren Faire, Wineries, Breweries, Food, Music. You haven’t seen it all.
