Probably because we like knowing the things we grew up around can be loved by people who may not have even known about it until just then.

We love making people smile with our mix of cultures over the years. We tend to be people pleasers even if just a bit. So that enjoyment makes us feel good. That and we tend to turn onto these vids to try and get that ‘first bite” feeling back a little by watching their first try. Probably both.

I grew up in the Midwest but moved to the UK in 1994. Although good British food is amazing, there is a pride and generosity of hand in American cooking that is too often lacking here. One friend told me she'd lived in the US for a few years and never once had a bad meal because even the lowliest greasy spoon takes pride in what they do (leaving out fast food chains of course) whereas too often places in the UK seem content to serve a mediocre meal and settle for a "That'll do" attitude.

As an American from the south it makes me feel so blessed seeing that we get to eat all the best foods ever and these guys have had there whole life without experiencing a good ole fashioned American bbq until now

As a mental health counselor, I truly appreciate how you, Josh, describe seeking support for one's mental health in such a meaningful and authentic way. Thank you.

[@odysseusrex5908]

It was their ads which sent me to better Help, and I am getting real help, making real progress in solving lifelong problems. One very good thing about better help is that, since it's online, their counselors can meet my schedule. I don't have to take time off from work for my sessions. That is a big selling point.

[@erin17.]

i really appreciate the captions you guys provide for every video, not only on jolly but on ur other channel as well. I have a hard time concentrating on words when spoken and subtitles makes my experience watching videos so much nicer. its hard to find a lot of channels that provide accurate and consistent subs. been a fan since 2014, keep it up! love you guys lots. - from a korean american haha.

Regarding chili, one of our wedding gifts was the recipe for a family friend’s award winning chili. We make this regularly during the fall and winter.

[@Subsistence69]

Absolutely incredible wedding gift

[@wendimooreart]

American here. It’s so fun to watch you guys indulging in and loving our food. It was a bit weird to watch you eat pulled pork without any barbecue sauce, and with a fork. About 99% of the time, we eat it on a bun, covered in sauce, usually with dill pickle slices. The corn ribs are new to me. I’ve never seen anything like that here in the US.

[@Gravy314]

It’s such a joy to watch these guys enjoy this food. As an American, it makes me strangely proud, but their appreciation of that delicious BBQ is so endearing. And also, the Buccee’s T-shirt is 🤌🏻.

We went to a McDonalds when it first came to the U.K. back in the 1970s. Having been brought up with proper British (European) table manners*, I simply couldn't get my head around a restaurant not having any cutlery. It's a long time ago now, but I'm fairly sure I asked where they kept the knives and forks (I would have been about 12 at the time). * The first time I visited the US, I was similarly fascinated how Americans said grace before a meal (something that had all but died out by that stage in the U.K., and is virtually never heard today). So, in some ways, American table manners are stricter than ours.

[@Weewooweewoo1234]

​@@horsenuts1831American McDonald's have cutlery lmao. Saying grace also isn't incredibly common here anymore, or at the very least varies regionally. Did you go to the south?

Funny how much they loved the chili dog! Its a pretty basic/common thing here in the midwest of US. They even have it on the lunch menu at school probanly once a month.

I believe I remember someone saying early on that Max was born in the US and moved to the UK as a little kid so his love of American food makes sense.

"That's the most American thing i've ever seen in my life" Son that's just a Saturday lunch down here. Also the collective "Mmmm" when taking a bite of the brisket had me saying "yeah, you understand don't you?" Greetings from Tennessee

[@leeannsolice7473]

LOL - I love Olly's comment "This place isn't even busy!" lol - I'm laughing because as a Texan, I know that there is really delicious BBQ in EVERY town - almost every street corner. It is absolutely possible to drive through a little town of less than 1000 population, randomly stop at a gas station, and have the best brisket sandwich you've ever tasted. BBQ is like the weekend dad-hobby of every Texan. It is our fish-n-chips, but much much more flavor. Keep up the great work guys!

[@anival9576]

But don't you think the fact that the restaurant is in London means its lack of business may come from people not knowing about it? I know if I lived in London, and knew about it, I'd want to make this place a regular stop.

@@nicolad8822the UK has a ton of immigrants but because the bulk of immigration has been more recent, the food from those countries is still more or less it’s own thing.

0:23 Fun fact about that mosquito! THAT is a species called an elephant mosquito and...its literally the ONE kind of mosquito that *does not suck blood.* Most mosquitoes need blood from another creature to procreate, but that particular mosquito eats the larva and eggs of *other types of mosquitoes* instead. Also of the thousands of kinds of mosquitoes, only about 100 bite humans. Most are oddly specialized. For example, there's a kind of mosquito that only bites frogs...brave little things.
