We ATE at The Best WHOLE HOG Bar-B-Que Joint in Nashville!

[@dFiiNee]

the classic macmaster phrase... 'i'm gonna reserve judgement'... you just know it isn't gonna score well when he says that 🤣

[@TheMacMaster]

Lol. 😂

[@neilgayleard3842]

Prices have gone up but standards have gone down. Sadly it seems to be the case all over the world.

[@Hitstirrer]

The only thing not overcooked was the slaw.

[@junemccann5981]

Jeez one fork, one plate etc for two!! What are they thinking! It was funny you feeding him lol! 🥰🌞🥰 Xxx

[@anthowarth801]

0:03 Casual as f*ck, what a dude.

[@jimmysnailshoes]

Surely the video title was 'we've gone the whole' hog 🤣

[@johndonnelly597]

That brisket being American looked like a meal for one to me and i bet you and Damian headed off to the nearest bar

[@matthewgriffiths8423]

Ohhh I would most definitely take the bus ;)

[@lisagoodrichhorrocks3269]

Trying to figure out where you are...Demonbreun Street? Cummins Station? Cannery Row? Nashville has changed so much and never stays the same Hope you can at least go to Loveless Cafe in Bellevue, THAT has the best biscuits in Tennessee! xx

[@lparky4409]

Meat looked good but chips looked a bit rough as though they had been knocking around a while. I would have thought another plate and fork for a sharing platter, what happened if you had one for 6 people? Did you get back to the UK ok with the train strikes?

[@TheMacMaster]

Train Strikes!!!!! Vlog coming soon about journey home. Planes Trains, Automobiles, Air trains and Ubers!!! Nightmare

[@racheltaylor3416]

I live in Nashville, born and raised. Chips are much better in the UK as a rule. American fries tend to be greasy and limp.

[@lindsay9375]

Looks interesting enjoying your vlogs abroad really good watch every one Nashville looks great quite different over there in America to here in uk and like how all the restraunts are selling merch too looks popular that one too looks fun your holidays enjoy 😊

[@neilburrows5245]

I find it extremely annoying when they come up & ask 'is everything ok with your meal?' Firstly if it isn't ok most folk say 'yeah it's fine thanks' out of politeness Secondly if things weren't ok and you were brave enough you would've already told them so. Thirdly I want to be left alone to get on with me food.

[@maxinelakins]

I think some of the girls on the bus have been to the US version of Greggs a bit too often

[@marcusbrown5173]

Looks like your having a good time 😃 enjoy 👍

[@gingerwright6337]

Most bbq joints put your meal on a tray! Even in the Carolinas!

[@alexgeorge501]

that was some delicious pork you had there mate, my fav dish would be mac and cheese topped with pulled pork+pulled brisket, smothered in HOT habanero bbq sauce and topped with jalapenos, crushed fuego taquis, and a very generous sprinkle of chili flakes (i like my pork smoky and spicy!). Enjoy the rest of your trip in Nashville!

[@stevecohen2216]

I would love that. The “bark” looked perfect on the ribs and brisket. Right up my street. 8/9

[@manchester1972]

Watch it maccy... The Mrs will be watching... U nearly copped for a right munster in that bar the other night... Hahaha... You need Martin there...

[@knownpleasures]

They thought we were married…. Moving swiftly on 😅😂🤣 6/10 for that grub

[@lparky4409]

Wait for tenerife uncovered to see that!

[@gopyai3486]

Hi Lee I Think most people realise that Nashville is a crazy, wacky, mad place to be by now 😁😁

[@DrDaveW]

It might’ve been tender, but it looked so dry. You could get better in the UK.

[@ericar]

I've got a Martin's BBQ near me and I do enjoy it, it's definitely a less busy location that Nashville my favorite is the Mac and cheese x

[@daddydoda9091]

Nashville looks fun... what times the next bus?

[@Raylufc]

I would risk it for a brisket

[@scouseofhorror104]

Aah 1 fork! I was gonna say get a room! 🤣👍 Yeh 6. I ate in a similar style place in Liverpool and the theme seems to be dry, but tasty!

[@Essydyk]

Can't argue at the price - hard to tell but it looked very dry with very little sauce especially for 2 growing chaps like yourself.

[@sarakirk9542]

Hi Lee! Mmmm the food I couldn't say it looked appetising to me. And I like my food well done. Bless Damien he's coming out of his shell more each time on the camera. Must be getting used to you filming everywhere. It's a good job you both don't have a problem with sharing platters what with no plates and one fork between you. Tight g**s. Could have supplied you with both. I wouldn't give a tip either. Take care Lee 😘👍

[@maureenalder8905]

Loving this USA trip Nashville is epic...Giving the food 8.5 😍👌😋

[@gilesharris174]

I think you've been to the "little chef" of Nashville by the looks of things ? Compared to man vs food BBQ I've seen yours don't cut it .... but the atmosphere of Nashville looks amazing and probably anything tastes ok after 4 beers... Am I right ??

[@Thomasccanada]

I think if your friend Martin was there from NYC you would of been in so much trouble and probably in the first hour lol - food no more than a 5, bus tours a 10 :)

[@Ritchiemac]

Yum yum looked delicious going to give it a 9/10. 👍

[@ckmax7014]

Excellent

[@Gothic55]

Got to a solid 9 based on visuals - did not seem to be too dry. Weakest looking items were the fries.

[@TheMacMaster]

Definitely the fries were not the greatest. 👍🏼

[@benitobueno3373]

7.5/10... onion rings would have been a good compliment to the excellent brisket plus some hot mustard

[@colinrattray816]

Edinburgh festival visit for you Lee?

[@TheMacMaster]

Maybe, not sure as yet as trying to be with family for a bit. :0)

[@JG-bq2si]

Got to say over cooked a bit for me coleslaw looks good but I say 7/10 for this , great vlog guys 😊❤🇺🇲👍😘xx

[@barneyshamrock1]

NOOOOOOO! the sharing platter you had in the UK with your chef bubby was head n shoulders above that, on looks anyway.

[@faydove]

It looked good to me. Are you sharing a bed lol ? I didn't think you were but maybe i am confused. Great review Lee. Thank you.

[@TheMacMaster]

LOL!!! NOOOOOOOO!

[@faydove]

@@TheMacMaster OK my bad ! If you ever need anyone to help you with your suitcase let me know !

[@TheMacMaster]

@@faydove will do. Gets heavy sometimes. 😉

[@vickyl9496]

That looked like a plate of burned food and a meal for one after giving you one plate/tray. 7/10

[@davidholgate123]

Near enough every American meal I've seen tried on this channel seems dry and overcooked.

[@Calamancotrading]

Wouldn’t feed 1 let alone 2!, haha🤪

[@ShirleyT-Keela]

I always start at 10 then deduct points accordingly. It's a 4 from moi.

[@johnbowyer6902]

I knew it would be a lower score because of how the fries looked. I, personally, liked the look of the steak, though. But, yeh, I think a 6.5 is in order.

[@PA3456]

That’s a great video.

[@markpearson5488]

Hi Lee, notsure about that food, 7 max , enjoy the rest of your day my friend. Your friend mark

[@TheMacMaster]

Thanks Mark. Have a good one. 👍🏼

[@josephmalone9386]

Looks good enough to eat for me 8 😃👍

[@ianreid]

Looked old and grizzled like you Lee. 6/10 from me

[@rickytee1]

Brisket is always the best .. Maybe the only thing worth ordering at a BBQ joint 🤪 Sometimes BBQ looks dry, but is actually tender and tasty and maybe only needs a little BBQ sauce. Given that, I'd say 7.5/10

[@Miko_Jones]

you're right the service didn't deserve a tip!

[@rogerauclair1670]

Looked like a platter for one if your name is Darren John.

[@brendamorgan]

That food looked very good. Just breaking off in your fingers. Chips seemed dry. Would have wanted another plate. Price not bad. 7/10. 👍 Like Damien s shirt.😄

[@sarahillingworth2718]

Why do they only let you in if you have a clear handbag? Is it a security thing? Food 6.

[@lynny6910]

Yes. I'm not in Nashville, TN, I'm in a different state, but we have it here too, as I'm assuming most states do. You'll usually only see it for events or places with large gatherings. I'd be curious to know if they always have a clear bag policy or if it was only implemented because of the Country Music Awards. It's so you can't conceal weapons, and if the event has security checks it makes it go quicker.

[@TheMacMaster]

Security.

[@richardthirkell7349]

I think it because there has been a lots of threads of theorists attacks in the usa that why they say no backpack and carry bag in the bar and restaurants it is a very cruel world out there unfortunately.

[@sarahillingworth2718]

@@lynny6910 yeah I can see why they they have that policy now, makes sense 👍

[@LittleBearBBQ_Food_Original]

***DISCLAIMER*** OK, I judge Competition BBQ to The Kansas City Barbeque Society criteria…and that would get a very low score from me. It looked absolutely terrible!!!

[@ianmcmanus5088]

that looked like last weeks warm ups out the bin you really should of taken it back 0/10 and thats been nice

[@jimmyduggan359]

I hope it tastes better than it looks.

None of that looked good. Well done for not tipping.

[@roystarling5815]

After watching all four Nashville vlogs (tick vg btw Lee) I've decided the only thing that would encourage me to go would be a free invite to one of those converted school buses

[@TheMacMaster]

If you get one and you can take a guest. I'm available. 😉😂

[@roystarling5815]

@@TheMacMaster heard about an manoeuvre you can do in those Nashville buses, reverse cowgirl I think it was

[@susiejakes3019]

His ribs have a DRY RUB which creates a crust that enhances the flavor of the meat without adding moisture. If you like your ribs saucy, you need to brush them with the barbeque sauce not dip pieces of the ribs and brisket in the sauce as the McMaster was doing. He should have poured the sauce on the meat.

[@kkrispy2009P]

Lovely nice review and food

[@garypritchard3446]

Personally....hyped dog poo. Fries "skin on".....too lazy to peel. Ribs were to be honest burnt. Lots of "wet" sauces & slaw to help with the dryness. My score 4.

[@X22GJP]

Looked pretty average to me, on looks would have been a 6 maybe (written before I heard the scores). I do get the lack of plates and cutlery though - it’s BBQ and so just get stuck in with the hands! As for the tipping culture in the US, yeah that does my head in. When I’ve been over there staying with my mate, I just tell him to do whatever, pay the bill and let me know what I owe him 😂

[@cabottaxi]

Looks a bit well fired that beef. Hopefully it's cooked in the middle. Not sure i would have left a tip based on one plate and one fork. 7 out of 10

[@kevinsmoother]

Looks better than Vegas that!

The fries looked very unappealing but the meat looked yummy 😋 8

looks dry chips dont look great not impressed its a 8 from me

[@Resmith18SR]

Cities like Nashville, Tennessee and Austin, Texas are now the trendy, hip places to go visit and live. Now very expensive, overpriced real estate in both places and I don't know why people want to go there all of a sudden. I'm not into country music and I don't enjoy drinking every night.

It does look very dry to be fair lee but as the video goes on looks very tender looks tasty 8/10 for me

Obviously been mentioned before but the meat looked like charcoal. Disappointed as America supposed to be the home of bbq. I did a better bbq'd beef last weekend (you are of course welcome to come up and try my bbq and vlog it 😁)

[@wargame2play]

Had much better barbecue in Memphis. I prefer “ Country Ribs “ cooked German style with lots of sauerkraut.

Brisket looked nice, ribs looked dry, Skin on fires/chips very lazy. 6.5/10

[@davidnm21]

Looked very dry that brisket. The ribs looked over done and skin on fries looked dry and cold. Supposed to be a sharing platter but to me it looked anything but. The coleslaw looked ok and the bbq sauce. Judging by your reaction to the brisket it must have tasted good.

[@ianm2170]

Even if it tasted like cardboard, it was a better value than that breakfast you had yesterday. Are you going to Memphis? If so, it's a good idea that you skipped the entertaining insanity that is "Memphis in May". Great food, crazy environment.
