The fried chicken burger looked scrumptious but the cheese burger did it for me. Can’t wait to be out of lockdown so I can enjoy a dirty burger at my local burger joint. Melbourne 🇦🇺

[@brilliantbutblue]

We are going to be waiting a looooong time for that to happen.

Hi Jerry! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 So glad you enjoyed this one- it was neat getting to finally share some Maori food! I can’t remember the cost of the most expensive burger on the menu but I think it was less than $25 USD 🤔 I also just remembered that the total meal cost included an ice cream sundae 😝 Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!

The boil up reminded me of my Mothers crock pot meals growing up before the slow cooker became fashionable!! The Hangi cooked with Manuka wood chips and savoury donuts what a treat for a cold winters day. Thanks for sharing. Ive bought the fresh oregano and the pork now l need to get cooking from Chasing A Plate Street food at home cook book.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Yes!! And it reminds me of the pork bone soups my Grandma used to make 🤤 Woo hoo- can’t wait to see the final result BBB! Send photos! 💕

The colour on that bacon makes it look really delicious .....but the bread they use looks like is too thick

Hi John! Thanks for watching and commenting! The bacon was sensational- such a great flavour 🤤 The bread was fantastic but I agree a softer roll would have made it easier to eat 😄 Hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena

Hey Sheena and Thomas, what I need is a food app. One that literally transports whatever you're eating directly to me with just one touch. 😉😊Would you know any tech creators/developers who can whizz up such a wonder please? By the way, I thought Sheena was going to use tomato sauce on her bacon+egg roll as well as the burger.Those burgers looked delicious! Another nice video with a nice show of Maori cuisine too. Thanks, keep safe and keep eating🤗Got me hungry, close to midnight.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi C Wong, I’m thinking the person who invents that app would become my new best friend 😆 Imagine that 🤤🤤🤤 Haha I chose restraint this time! The burger had the most delicious chili jam on it- sweet, spicy and sticky. It was awesome with the chicken. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate. Keep safe and healthy 👊 Cheers, Sheena

[@alpat6401]

wow, that bacon looks soo melt in the mouth...great thanks guys

[@ChasingaPlate]

Absolutely stunning bacon. We were so glad we took some away to have over the next days. It was a sad day when we finished it all. Thanks so much for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@Weetbix1969]

best thing about Holly Bacon is they don't pump it full of water or brine like some places so when you cook it it doesn't shrink up as the water goes out like the other bacon does. best bacon you can get as shop brought

[@ChasingaPlate]

It’s great isn’t it? 🤤 Love how that rind crisps up like crackling too. It was so tasty! Thanks for watching and commenting Weetbix1969, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena

[@andreawoodbury1841]

I live in Hawke’s Bay...you must have visited on one of the rare days when the sun wasn’t shining! Totally agree with your choice of places to eat. Holly Bacon is an institution and their produce is second to none. You needed some golden syrup on your fried bread Thomas...yum, yum! Craggy Range is close to where I live and I was unaware of their US diner-style burger menu...so thanks for that...we will be paying them a visit for sure. Keep up the great filming and thank you for show casing what regional New Zealand has on offer 💕

[@ChasingaPlate]

I think so re the sun! Lost count of the amount of locals saying “well it’s normally sunny here” 😂😀 The rain didn’t put us off at all though and we had such a ball filming and eating in the region. We absolutely loved it. We can’t wait to return to film more and hopefully see the elusive sun. How neat was the diner option at Craggy Range. Since we filmed they’ve stopped doing it but we believe it may return which would be amazing. Thank you so much for watching this one and we’re so glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Thomas 😀 PS isn’t Holly Bacon the best. You’re so lucky living close to that.

[@ytyaty6762]

Bravo! 💕😍😘😋👍👌

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks so much mate! It was a really fun one to film and we ate so well- that bacon and the burgers were especially stand out! Hope you are having a lovely weekend. Cheers, Sheena

[@tosht2515]

*_bacon and egg roll_* - Yikes! That bread. Poor egg didn't stand a chance I'm sure. I love a hard crust bread but not the way it's used here. Hand ripped with the seafood chowder from the previous video would be ideal. 😂 *_boil up_* - Have you two tried pork spine soup in Thailand? Sucking the meat off the bones is not only delicious but satisfying. Haha! *_winery_* - Of course Sheena opted for the fried chicken. 😀 Please tell me Thomas did NOT switch to a non-alcohol beer. They never taste great. *_Really fun day, guys._*

[@brilliantbutblue]

I wondered the same about the Beer. Not sure how well that would have gone down ontop of the Lime Milkshake 🍺

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hey Tosh. That bread looked terrible didn’t it but in truth it was amazing. My memory was just about how tasty that roll was so when I came to edit this one I was surprised how it didn’t look very good. I promise it was fantastic though. We have had the pork soup in Thailand. We had it in a market so I remember it being a very fun meal and very spicy. Haha no that wasn’t a no alcohol beer (it was a low alcohol beer though due to driving - 2.5%). It was from a brewery in Wellington called garage project that is doing great things. It’s a very tasty beer. Thanks heaps for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@tosht2515]

@Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena The bread looked great. It was just too hard and Sheena kind of struggled biting into it. 😂

[@tosht2515]

@Brilliant But Blue 🍺👍 Sweet and beer works for me actually. In fact, I think chocolate pairs perfectly with IPAs and some Belgian strong ales. I do that all the time. I may have to try the milkshake lager combo one day. 😂

[@brilliantbutblue]

@@tosht2515: Let me know how the Beer shake goes 👍

[@mrek2068]

Another brilliant video. Incredible filming, editing, and narration. I really like the honest, real and research-heavy style of story telling. I can't imagine how much background work you guys have to do. However, the quality and effort really shines through. As for bacon - love it.

[@douggulleson5602]

Love all the videos. We like that you all share history of the area. It would be great to learn more of the history of the food a bit more though. Things like where they get their ingredients. Also like to understand better where you all are at locations. Maybe a map of the area. This way we can follow your travels more. But also, when my wife and I visit we can see about visiting those areas We watch your shows religiously and love the information you share. Thanks so much! Cheers - Adelina and Doug Gilbert, Arizona

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks so much for watching and the support guys. We’re so glad you enjoy the videos. We like to give as much detail as possible so people feel like they can get something more out of our videos. Where the ingredients are from is something we’ll talk about if we know it but often that’s not info we’re able to find out sadly. We do like to give the history of the dish though if possible and if it’s interesting. Location wise I sometimes play with maps but we find most people don’t seem to mind about the exact location so much. To counter that we always put all details in the description so people can easily check out the locations. I’m starting to play more with maps though (you may have seen the map in this video (near the start)). Thanks so much for your comment and for watching our content. Cheers, Thomas 😀

That bacon egg sandwich but in a Vietnamese baguette instead would be soooo delicious. Not that the bread you had is bad but you can''t beat the lightness, fluffiness and mild crunch of a Vietnamese baguette. It would tenfold the flavor of the bacon and egg.

Let's not talk about the hike that almost made us miss out on the winery😅🍷. Burgers and bacon a match made in heaven love the concept of the Diner experience because why shouldnt a burger be paired with a nice Wine. I actually would love to see something like that in the Yarra Valley instead of the wineries all doing the same style of food, showcasing local cheese, meats and produce can be done in a simple burger.👍

[@ChasingaPlate]

😂 and how we trudged in with mud all over our jeans 😝 I was so stressed we’d miss our booking because of a hike!!! I reckon the concept is awesome! It makes the whole winery experience more approachable and casual. And like you say, you can still show off local produce! Mmmm burgers 😋 Hope you enjoyed this one BBB! Cheers, Sheena

Ok guys you have to answer a couple questions. 1) what are the things I call French fries here in the states usually called in New Zealand because 2) why did Sheena continually call them fries while Thomas consistently called them chips? I have two guesses but I also guess the second one is closer to the truth... either 1) somehow Sheena has ended up more familiar with using the term French fries or fries based on her eating history we don’t know or 2) Sheena is purposefully choosing to use the term this “American” diner menu used to be respectful of the establishments ethos and Thomas is just sharing from their regular words so that they’re both respectful and true to their own norms. I’d love to hear your answers! Also it’s a measure of how good this video is that all I could focus on as I ended the video was the last site while I AM AN ABSOLUTE BACON BEAST! And I literally didn’t remember that you’d had that experience at the beginning although THAT experience also looked beyond my wildest dreams! I owe it to reading the comments to realize or re remember that! I went and watched again just to re appreciate all this video had to offer! Thank you two so much for making this! Luv you two and all you share!!! ❤️👏

Hi Jaci! Hahaha number 2 is pretty bang on. Chips are what we generally call them but I would always call a thin chip or French fry, fries -but if you called them chips everyone would know what you meant. Also like you say, I was adhering more to the ethos of the food experience we were having and I know you folks would never call them chips 😄 Back in the day, you would never have fries on a menu, they’d always be chips but with the rise of American style food here, fries are a lot more common 😄 Although you’d never find fries nor call them that if you were ordering chips from a takeaway shop to go with your fish for example 😄 Haha hope that makes sense. I guess if you were referring to fries here people would always assume you meant shoestring fries 🍟 So, so happy you enjoyed this video! Hahaha we are bacon fiends too- bet you would have loved this bacon- when we cooked up their traditional cuts in the van, the rind crisped up like crackling- it was amazing 😍 Thanks so much for your amazing support Jaci! Cheers, Sheena

Ur efforts lots ur video but why not increase subscribers Sad for a subscribers count

[@brilliantbutblue]

Because YT has a pathetic algorithm system that hides the great content and telling you what you should watch.

You guys are for sure living the life without wearing a mask! I wish I was in NZ ;( California's governor is so tyrannical!

We’re super lucky that community transmission is under control at the moment. We were all wearing masks for a while there though. If it helps protect the community it’s the best thing to do I reckon. Hope you are keeping safe over there mate. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one, hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena 💕
