North Koreans Try American BBQ feat. Asian Boss

[@digitalsoju]

We wanna say this project wouldn’t have been possible without 12 Bones, LawLers, Rudy’s and Gates. These are already successful and respected businesses who could have told us they weren’t interested, but they loved the idea of this project and having their local region represented. It was also awesome for us to be able to try all the different styles of sauces. Please show them your support and if you stop by one of their stores, tell them you saw our video: -12 Bones (Blueberry chipotle sauce was Good Morning America’s sauce of the year): tiny.cc/12bones -LawLers (Red sauce was Northern Alabama sauce of the year): tiny.cc/lawlersbbq -Rudys (A sauce even Texans like) - tiny.cc/rudysbbq -Gates (classic, original, extra hot, sweet & mild): tiny.cc/gatesbbq ******************************************** Check out our other North Korean videos: -Eating Wings with North Koreans: tiny.cc/Eating_wings_with_NKs -Having Thanksgiving Dinner with North Koreans (2018): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bomycqeqpr6cjrc -North Korean Military Stories: Being a Female Soldier: tiny.cc/NK_MS_female_soldiers ******************************************** If you want to help North Korean refugees in South Korea, please check out: TNKR (Teach North Korean Refugees) - Helps NK refugees get a private education (which is often necessary for good jobs and also not cheap).

I was hired by Doc Hollywood despite showing up an hour late - nicest guy I ever met (and worked with), and didn't hold it against me that I was covered in tire dirt because I'd had a flat tire on the way there and had to change it. Best part of working there was the food. And even on my off days I'd comp pulled brisket (came with a loaf of bread) and sides for me and my friends, almost every week. Food was great (assume still is). Still remember how to make it all (and do when I BBQ).

[@customsongmaker]

@@Sixgunharlequin - do you understand that millions of Wal-Mart employees are still alive, even though they've been going to work every day while you were hiding at home afraid of germs? What about the employees at every gas station and grocery store? They go to work every day, and they're fine, which shows that your BBQ restaurant could've stayed open with similar results. Why can't you go to your favorite BBQ joint, if you can go to Wal-Mart? Because the media told you it's not safe, and the politicians told your BBQ joint they'd be arrested if they sold you BBQ. So when you compared your current situation to the horrors of North Korea, saying that your government-enforced loss of freedom makes you understand them, you were right. You're watching North Koreans doing something that you are not allowed to do. In North Korea, the government has complete control over what the people are allowed to do. Because the people don't have money or freedom, the government controls their lives. Socialists in our country have been working towards the same thing for over 60 years, and they're bragging on social media that Coronavirus is their victory. "I'm glad the lockdown shows that we can get universal basic income like we've been promoting for years." "I'm glad the lockdown is finally destroying capitalism." And the government also closed the churches, just like in other socialist takeovers from Cuba to China. Notice that states with Democrat governors have the strictest lockdowns and also the most coronavirus cases - partly because they ordered nursing homes to accept infected residents, which killed the other residents, which increased the numbers, which gave them a reason to tell you it wasn't safe to go outside, which convinced you to accept that your daily life could be stopped to a standstill whenever a politician says so. Thousands of weddings were cancelled, and people aren't allowed to go to their own grandmothers' funerals. Schools are closed, even though less than 1 out of every 10 Million children has gotten sick. The state of Maine has fewer than 50 coronavirus patients in hospitals, but over 100,000 people whose jobs have been closed by the government. This virus isn't fundamentally different from past viruses, so why is the response more drastic than anything in the history of the world? Logically it must not be about the virus itself. Why are the police arresting people for being outside alone? Being alone, it's impossible to infect anyone. But the police arrest the person, and the police aren't wearing masks, so they're willing to risk infection to increase government control. The priority isn't safety.

[@Sixgunharlequin]

@@customsongmaker Its more contagious than most similar illnesses and has no treatment that has been shown to work. That in itself makes it fundamentally different. Grocery stores are working out because there are guidelines in place to limit how many people are around eachother at once. They have to stay open though because they're essential which isnt just a fancy word but is literally what they are. Without grocery stores or other food places able to deliver contact-free, people would not be able to eat. Someone not knowing the precautions put out by the businesses that have to stay open shows your ignorance and it's people with ignorance like yours that is reopening the country in the middle of the current peak rather than letting it run its course through the next peaks that will happen. That's how you make the spread if the virus worse than before.

[@customsongmaker]

@@Sixgunharlequin #1, 60 million Americans got H1N1 when Obama was President, and it killed more people, so you're the one who's ignorant about it being more contagious and more deadly. It's not. #2, Every Wal-Mart customer comes within 6 feet of the cashier, and then the cashier comes close to every other customer. Wal-Mart isn't any more essential than local small businesses that are forced to close. #3, Hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment for over 90% of patients, but Democrat governors banned it without any medical or scientific justification. #4, social distancing was never supposed to decrease the number of people who get sick. The same number of people will get sick, but they wanted to "flatten the curve" and let you catch the virus next month instead of this month. So you're not saving anyone's lives, you're just patting yourself on the back while people die of thousands of other illnesses because most nurses have been laid off. You're actually bragging about shutting down doctor's offices and cancelling people's surgeries. You've actually just said that Wal-Mart is more essential than schools and doctors' offices and weddings and funerals. Have you stopped to ask yourself if maybe the media has tricked you into believing things that don't make sense?

[@DC_Greed]

Taking leftovers home in America is common. People would more likely look at you as wasteful if you had left more than a few bites of food. That is why restaurants have so many to go boxes and bags. Take it home and eat it for dinner the next night. That is also something people don't understand about American portion sizes, we also like to take it home and have it for lunch or dinner the next day too :)

[@digitalsoju]

It's not just leftovers (which is common in South Korea too), but like literally everything. Korean cuisine has a lot of side dishes (banchan) and almost nobody takes that home, so that's why people looked at her crazy. It's not the same thing as putting a burger and fries in a to-go box.

[@DC_Greed]

So if someone had an unfinished steak that is ok to take home, but you're talking more about taking the free buns home too? Is that how I am understanding this? it actually is making me laugh, cause I can't help thinking about people who go to hotel rooms and take all the soaps and shampoos in the room with them too lol

[@1412Bunny]

have you ever eaten at a korean restaurant before? they usually give like a dozen small side dishes for free to eat with your meal, it'd be unusual to take them home since they're small.

[@DC_Greed]

No I haven't, there are not any places that are close to me, so I have had to cook my own korean food at home. However now that you mention it, I have seen the amount of side dishes sometimes, so I guess I understand how it is different. I still would probably throw it all in a box and take it home though LOL. Waste not want not ;)

Gotta remember we citizens of the states are from Europeans. And those Europeans absolutely fucked over the native population and have done so much blasphemy ever since the beginning of civilization. So if you are trying to compare, you are just embarrassing yourself. Comparing populations is a nasty and irresponsible thing to do. Don’t think you are any better then us because you don’t have x problem or such, we are all equal in the general sense of humanity. But media loves to brainwash people into thinking Americans are some type of disgrace or terrible people. You just like to prioritize ours, as we could just as easily prioritize yours, and make fun of your society and blast on your problems as easily as you can blast on ours.

Well, first, how are those deaths spanned across the nation? • 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago • 344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore • 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit • 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years) 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause. Educate yourself.

[@taniamanik2012]

To be fair, some local supermarkets in other countries also don't have mustard because the local cuisine doesn't use it. Like Indonesia, for example. Okay but I know that the original comment meant it as a joke lol

[@Romy---]

@@taniamanik2012 No, the original commenter was quoting the woman in red. What's the point of having mustard there if there's nothing you could eat with mustard.

That takes courage, speaking derogatory about him that way as a refugee. I've heard stories of spies capturing refugees and bringing them back to NK for horrific punishment. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, though, every one of those people had to risk life and limb crossing the border to get to where they are now.

@@paulkim9828 Australia is a good contender, as well, but that's about it. Pretty sure it's because AUS and USA are the two countries with the most room suitable and available for meat production per capita. IIRC, the folk down-under actually eat a couple pounds more meat yearly, on average, than Americans, and Americans are like 10-15 pounds more than third place.

This is by far the most honest food review video I have seen. Its really refreshing to see people actually say straight up that they don't like a certain food or sauce and explain why as well as being fair and well representative of the combinations they do like... Fantastic video! Edit: They were even extremely upfront with topics that would offend some people like raising dogs to slaughter for their meat and the crazy restrictions that North Korea used to impose on them. I REALLY respect how this channel makes videos.

[@akumaplantstudios8869]

@@Jabin04 I agree, dude. I've spoken to people here in the west that raise cattle for food and don't get where the modern mindset comes from "why the hell do you people not understand that, if you eat meat, something has to die? I don't understand your logic". I essentially had to say " Don't forget the majority of people these days don't think about where that meat comes from. It's brought in a packet, like a chocolate bar". "When you're eating a chocolate bar, do you think about the process that it went through for it to reach that state? Probably not" It's not much different to other countries, you eat what you have and to not see that these folks are doing what they have to do to live is just ignorance.

When you live in as shitty as a place as North Korea, family/friends are all you have. They dont get things like KZbin, video games, or shit like that to relax with. The lady said how little meat they got to eat, so its understandable thatd they would be very thin or unhealthy. If youre always hungry, you dont have anything else to help keep your mind off of it, besides talking to and leaning on those in the same position as you.
