I prefer the coin.... But that's because not everyone fries with the grits on the outside. The smaller coin shape comes out more crunch per surface area. We likes the crunchy

[@AdamWitt]

Team Crunch stand up!

[@wascas1]

Really enjoying this new series!

[@jailenecabrera3670]

I’m pregnant craving pickles a lot & this look soooooo good 😩

[@leronbenari226]

When you do all 50 states do you think you could make another go around or atleast cook more dishes from different states? This is such a great series and 1 dish per state is awesome but there are so many more dishes

[@AdamWitt]

That's the plan as of now, perhaps even open things up even wider (hint hint), but for now I'm rolling down the line. It's reallllllly tough to choose dishes for some of these places, but it's sort of how things have to be done... for now ;) . Thanks for watching homie.

[@joshualiford4227]

As a Tennesseean, I can’t wait to see what you go with for TN. Nashville Hot Chicken, Memphis dry rub ribs, Dyers style deep fried cheeseburger, Fried Catfish… so many options in one state. I love the idea of this series.

[@AdamWitt]

Lets gooooo. Thanks for the recs dude.

[@sweaterboycutie]

Great stuff! 👌

[@christinewaite8568]

I was inspired by your short today, "easy trick to make fried pickles at home". While the batter alone looks good in the short, I'm going to try your version of dry and wet from this episode even though I don't care for cornmeal breading because I trust your recipes, and these look TOO good as is! 😋👏

[@AdamWitt]

Awesome! Lmk how it turns out.

[@Rush-ld2qr]

Love your channel and your recipes sir! Keep up the great work!

[@JeS2ica7295]

I like both, but i LOVE coins because it has a less chance of holding lava juice that will burn me when i bite into it😂

[@AdamWitt]

Hahah, that's a fact. Mouth burns aren't fun, but it comes with the territory.

[@brebrown5338]

Look amazing I will definitely try it! ❤ thank you!!

[@diehldrifts]

i gotta try this one!!

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

I have never tried these being from England but I have got to say they look very delicious. I usually just eat Gherkins out of the jar or have them with soup, salads or anything. I am addicted to them.

[@ammcd2012]

That looks delicious 😋

[@dalainebloom4505]

This was the first time I ever saw one of Your videos. I did give You a like and Subscribed to Your channel. This looks delicious! I have always wanted to learn how to make Fried Pickles. Thank You for sharing Your talents with Us. I cannot wait to try this one 😊🙏🏽😈

good vid man!

[@rochellebroglen4155]

I prefer the spears. Most restaurants serve the coins, but the first time I had them were spears when I lived in Jonesboro. After moving across the state, I was only able to find the coins. It's been slightly disappointing. The spears were pretty damn special and one of my favorite foods. Coins are good, but nothing special. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

[@GreenGardenGamer]

chips over spears bc you get better exterior coverage and it doesn't go falling off of the skin (as seen in almost every spear-shot)

[@ParisTNT]

Looks yummy

[@crow2473]

See ok- I’m on neither side of this, so when I was like 15 I made something truly cursed… the Spiral fried pickle on a stick. Basically took a pickle, cut like how you would for spiral potatoes basically and then dried it off, made my dredge of hella seasoned flour and cornstarch. wet part of eggs buttermilk and hot sauce. And finally the actual coating of a mix of panko breadcrumbs, and regular breadcrumbs for a mixed texture because I’m a weirdo- was a fun time to try though you need a wide ass pan or a deep fryer(which is what I used) in order to make this monstrosity. I still stand by this is the best way to fry a pickle. The extra surface area really helped it get super crunchy and it didn’t have as much Bald spots for some reason- granted I did over dredge is kinda

[@DaniJHollis]

I was all in, until I heard Navi yell "Hey! listen!" and got really distracted. I like coins better cause I mean, I feel like the thing about battering things is you like the batter, right ? So surface area & ratio. Equal parts batter & pickle!

Love the content! With Florida can you do Cuban sandwiches? Maybe Tampa vs. Miami style? It's called a Cuban sandwich (cause of the bread) but it is an American melting pot sandwich!

Don't know why I only just found your channel...dang. These look great. Have you tried this recipe in an AirFryer?

[@TonyCastle-gh9ow]

The flat sandwich stackers are the best of both worlds

[@roberthicks5704]

Did you use yellow grits.. or yellow corn meal? You said grits one time...and meal the next time. Which did you use?

[@foofu6685]

You should do alligator for florida. Carribean-style dishes are cool but alligator is hella underrated

[@dougbrouwer5184]

Can you do breadcrumbs instead of cornmeal

[@AdamWitt]

totally. I just like the crunchy corn texture.
