at a certain point, you gotta be like that lobster roll restaurant and pay him to eat the extra stuff on camera

[@janisezack1610]

Joel is a class act. He is always very complimentary regarding the food prepared for him. Plus, Joel is very polite and respectful to the servers. A good dude. 👍

[@jpmcnown1]

This place did the smart thing, and was like, "we gotta get this guy to review the whole menu on KZbin!" It's on my list now, next time I"m in St. Louis.

[@taunja7915]

They were very smart.. Free advertising! Not that they needed help bc word of mouth is the best advertisement. If I did travel there I'd would definitely get Toasted Ravioli and the Shrimp Alfredo..oh and the salad Joel raved about the dressing.

[@vincer7824]

Amazing because it's the exact opposite of the place that kicked him out from the All You Can Eat special.

[@michaelstephens9852]

​@vincer7824 that place was just stupid.he could've brought them business.

[@CobraXXVI]

​@@michaelstephens9852Sure, but only God knows his circumstances and reasons. Imagine if you had a barely survived covid lockdown after and you're paying for a loved one's hospital bill. He doesn't know this is a large channel or a 2K sub start-up. All he sees is someone go a few trays more than he's comfortable with and he's in a desperate situation where he'd rather save whats ensured than gamble on whether this fish eating beast is a 2K viewer vs 1M viewer channel.

I enjoyed this longer video. The second half, taking us on a St. Louis tour, was fun. I’d like to see this type of video more often. I also enjoy your more leisurely eating videos when you aren’t trying to beat a clock. The buffet and AYCE videos are my favorites. You’re a foodie and give good reviews and cuisine commentary.

[@squirtmcgee5992]

I'm astonished in how much you can eat. I watch around 7 professional eaters and you're my favorite. Plus you're Canadian so that's a bonus.

[@AYags25]

My husband and I live a few hours away from St. Louis. Anthoninos was the first place we went to the night before he proposed and we go back every year for our anniversary. Such an amazing restaurant and the Hill is by far the best little suburb of the city. So many amazing cafes and delis that have the best Italian subs, canoli's, etc... I'm wishing I was there just watching this lol ❤

I am so glad you shared your visit to the arch and churches., Joel. We went in the nineties, and the arch was closed for renovations then. We had small children with us, so we didn't tour the way you did. Just loved this entire video. Thank you so much, Joel, for sharing this perfect day with us.

I agree with Joel, nothing beats a good salad before a great meal! Not normally a big fan of fried (toasted) ravioli through experience but these sound yummy 😋

It takes skill to make Calamari tender AND crunchy. Timing is CRITICAL!! So glad you enjoyed it, Joel. We did too, only vicarioulsy 😋🦑

[@dommyboysmith]

So true. I've been to some places and italian homes that really "do up" calamari. I've only ever found it cooked perfectly ONCE! I guess some people actually enjoy when it's like a rubber band. I am not one of those people though 😄

[@artemia79]

Funny that you said you were surprised you needed a second bowl of marinara. At the beginning of the video I said to myself, oh he's gonna need more marinara than that 😂 but like you said, didn't really need it. I want pasta now!

There are cancer vaccines now; please ask your doctor about it. It has a great success rate, even with stage four cancers. Praying for you.
