I Ate an ENTIRE Chicken AND THREE Servings of BBQ WITH Sides!

[@chewchewpark]

So jealous right now. The adventure of traveling and all those good eats!

[@pamelabatchelor9204]

Thanks for your fun adventures. I live in Asheville NC and because of you I'm taking a trip to Charlotte to eat at Prices Chicken Coop. I'm following your adventure.

[@MikeyChenX]

you have the best personality. Love watching you.

[@StudioKDB]

Hmm... Mike's Journey to the West. A Journey to reach ultimate Food Nirvana & Your new home.

[@viirusone]

Mikey you need to come down to New Orleans and do some food reviews. I love your videos! Thanks for the entertainment and keep on the epic work.

[@HitoriSamishiku]

Definitely one of the videos I most look forward to: these, where we (I) hear your stories (vlogs essentially) as you cross the country.

[@jonathonsimon7770]

Mike - If you come through Texas on I35, Hay's County BBQ in San Marcos is awesome. Not once have I ever seen that stretchy collegen in their brisket like you showed in the meat accordion clip - the fat at Hays is only the kind that just melts when you take a bite. They have pork belly, pork loins, and many other meats that are smoked perfectly too, crusty on the outside and juicy on the inside - and at nice prices - and they are super friendly. I can name many many BBQ places that are great on their good days, but what sets this place apart is they serve BBQ perfection every single day. And then the equivalent of Hay's in Tex-Mex, is in San Antonio as you head due west to Cali on IH10. Mimi's is a "hole in the wall" in the truest sense. A 1/4 mile off of IH10, it is truly Tex-Mex perfection. They mostly do TOGO, but have 8 tiny one person tables in a strip center spot roughly twice the size of my kitchen, but you will never have a bad meal there, and the hot sauce is the best I've ever had, and that's a statement from a guy that was sipping hot sauce from my baby bottle.

[@xXMagicRabbitXx]

Hi Mike! Its such a beautiful day! Hope your road trip is fun! :D

[@nmos1]

keep posting , I love this food adventure series!

[@MsAda0]

I LOVE these trips. Its my second time watching both of your trips!!!!

[@irishpixierose]

Enjoying your journey. We are in Eastern NC. Vinegar based bbq is Eastern NC style. Looking forward to all the new videos to come.

[@ds2271]

In Chattanooga tn there is a place called nickies that has fried chicken livers deep fried with bacon rapped around them . And they come with a special sauce to dip them into awesome

[@chewbielove]

you'll be so much closer to Vancouver now too! :D

[@Angel3956Star]

Watching you eat makes me hungry

[@donniedouglas6837]

Ayyy i live here. It's so cool seeing these roads in your video.

[@michellepechie55]

Heading to the hot chicken capital of the U.S.! Mikey must be super pumped!!

[@MarcoMacaroni]

I'm actually really glad you moved back to NY recently. NY fits with your lifestyle better, and seems way more adventurous than the Bay area. Plus, you save lots of money from housing XD

[@amyzhang3395]

Sometimes, I get jealous that I don't live somewhere like SF with their food scene, but I see this video and I'm reminded that we have some of the best BBQ in NC :3

[@tiggleh]

thanks for sharing. show us more of what you experience. also how the weather feels. shoutouts from Los Angeles...

[@krakenstein5291]

I really enjoy your vlogs Keep up the good Work :D

[@Toulousey000]

love road trips! wish I could have gone too. I did a ct to ca road trip in a penske truck with all my stiff in 09! took 2 weeks was awesome. stopped all over!

[@andreamoboe]

Hi Mike! You are definitely a food monster!! :D :D

[@Waldo.]

Everybody wanna be like mike

[@seijoscha]

Great Video Mikey!

[@emzyLovelyxoxo]

[@KE4VVF]

Price's Chicken Coop is great. Been there many times. Where I used to work they would get lunch from Price's every week.

[@sstag83]

Come to Salina, Kansas to eat at The Cozy Inn!

[@JonathanS89]

omg the stuff from midwood steakhouse looks sooooo delicious!

[@brand1nn943]

Morehead, NC represent!

[@phrogpilot73]

That traffic looked like it was outside of Fredericksburg, VA...

[@ktownva]

Hey Mikey, I'm a new subscriber living in Germany. But I'm from Richmond, VA and the best food in the world is there, at a restaurant called Mamma'Zu. If you ever are back on the east coast you could do a review. The best dishes are Jumbo Shrimp al Burro, and Zuppa di Pesce white sauce. I love Europe but Mamma'Zu makes me homesick.

[@kulupingerzi]

It's the same here in California we're pretty grumpy and stressed out too 😁

[@taeyounglee3380]

kulupingerzi It's cuz we have no water.

[@tokyoaro7236]

I have the same TV Mike. Its nothing to worry about if it goes missing :X

[@mkevb1]

Are you stopping in Chicago? Would love to grab a bite!

[@jwharvell]

Tons of places to eat in Roanoke VA!

[@lixiahuang6838]

I think I already saw you eating Price's on your other channel, but everything else was new lol

[@alliasapettypancake9475]

in new York youll always have SIT - stress induced things :D

[@usakiwi5222]

My mouth is watering now. I really do miss KCMO BBQ!!! But Texas has some really good BBQ there also. Safe travels.

[@sayjaibao01188]

Ppl from Texas tell me they make the best?

[@usakiwi5222]

sayjai bao LOL - Ppl from each state will tell ya they make the best. Missouri, Texas, the Carolinas. A city in each state usually has BBQ competitions and the taste testing is amazing. I grew up in Kansas City MO so I'm bias - LOL

[@SRPrice]

Yep, the closer you get to Charlotte N.C or even Columbia, S.C. you are gonna hit the traffic. Gizzards with hot sauce awesomeness, not so much with the livers.

[@felipeaschwanden]

Nice Video!!! Greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭

[@josephhtoo1]

Do you use your back mirror ?

[@andrewpinkley6820]

You should get bbq at jack stack in Kansas City

[@johnnychang4233]

Is that BBQ place serving Char Siu in their menu, at least the brisket you enjoyed looked like that :P

[@alliemollie]

Agreed. Thought it looked like char siu too. 😂

[@marshsundeen]

Price's is great. They also have respectable Barbecue pulled pork-believe it or not. Charlotte is not the Barbecue capital here, but respectable Que can be found at Mac's, Queen City Q in Uptown, and a few other places. Found it interesting that the President went to Midwood Barbecue after you went there. Maybe you inspired him.

[@freddychoppa5526]

I can second Queen City Q, my favorite place to eat before Hornets games.

[@PriyaPans]

How do you do this Mike??? Seriously I wish I could fit that much food into my stomach....

[@leeanncornett5246]

Roanoke resident here! Sorry our town doesn't have anything good to eat lol!

[@doommaker9813]

[@youuuuuuuuu12]

How do you see in your rear view mirror

[@botpatch1]

NC bbq is amazing

[@NinaHYahallo]

Mike, how do you stay fit after eating all that?

[@chip6210]

well there's this thing i don't know if you've heard of it but it's been around for quite a while it's called exercise and it really helps you lose weight and gain muscle.

[@NinaHYahallo]

Limnic I know that much, just he eat a lot

[@chip6210]

Natsume Ashima i know lol i was just joking. He probably just has a fast metabolism.

[@NinaHYahallo]

Limnic Probably, lucky him....

[@wildoneizzy]

Yum

[@TheBornBoy]

why am i watching this for the 4th time ?

[@charlessmith4954]

i have two brothers who live in North Carolina, one on the border and one in Charlotte

[@bodiddlymitchell5877]

Love chicken livers! Not a fan of gizzards. All the food looked delish

[@saheelmohammed5884]

Good for u

[@frzsks]

Why you driving alone? Where's Dan and Yi?

[@NinaHYahallo]

Have you seen the inside of his car? do you think Dan and Yi would fit??

[@frzsks]

Natsume Ashima Ever heard of a convoy?

[@NinaHYahallo]

+frzsks He doesn't have a convoy

[@frzsks]

Natsume Ashima You don't own a convoy. Better search for it if you don't understand it.

[@NinaHYahallo]

K

[@HanRenLau]

yum!

[@davidsnyder7341]

If you think Midwood Smokehouse is good you should try The Smokepit in Concord. Midwood is overrated. Price's is amazing.

[@susany2k5]

Hahaha I can't believe you're driving across America. In England, everyone takes the train. Driving 8 hours anywhere is unthinkable lol I'm enjoying your cross country vlog though Mike. Looks like great fun :D

[@hakikihariawicaksana9821]

Ah come on.. you can taste a little bit "better" traffic in Jakarta :-D

[@ronaldkristijanto3796]

You look tired mate ... Make sure you get some rest ... Thank you for the video ...

[@Leo-rb9sp]

Where's Dan?

[@alanguo2557]

Lol I went to nc to ny but you did the opposite

[@Lilli_Jay]

Looks delicious. But somehow I'm a bit worried that you'll die from a heart attack when you arrive in California. ^^'

[@topladnigelfaragethedestro2053]

Mikey your car is absolutely packed do you live in your car do you need a house we have a spare shed you could live there and upload videos

[@bonafideborafate1202]

Dude you're so nice! But I think he was moving house lol

[@ZuperiorQua]

Nigel Farage lol

[@stefincanada]

I'm still confused. What is Barbecue? Does that mean it's a restaurant that serves food you would get at a backyard BBQ? Or is it something entirely different? I'm from Canada so I've never been to one of those restaurants (although I think they have a few here now)

[@leolldankology]

Stef In Canada technically, bbq is anything that is smoked for an extended period of time, low heat and slow cook. everything else is technically grilled.

[@tinamckinney2328]

love chicken livers
