In today’s video we have some fun by taking a look at a variety of differences between the USA & France and vote for WHO DOES IT BETTER!!! We don’t see eye to eye on all the different subjects so watch us debate on which one we prefer!
Our responses are pretty split 50/50 between the French way and the American way! This video was a ton of fun to make and I’m excited to share it with you guys. Please let us know in the comments below if you AGREE or DISAGREE with any of our answers!
We lost track of time and the video ended up being pretty long, so we have split it up into two separate parts! Hope you enjoy this PART I and be sure to subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss PART II coming soon!
Thanks for watching and see you soon for PART TWO! 👇🏽

"Every man has two countries: their own and France" - Benjamin Franklin - First U.S ambassador in Paris and for french people one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.

[@JordanPatrick]

Thanks for sharing this great quote! For us too we consider him one of the founder fathers! :)

[@paulchapoy992]

OMG! You know Kate! I was following her since the beginning! She is unexpectidly french and she married a french man that loves comics! lol I especially love her video called "you know you married a french man when..."

[@JordanPatrick]

Oh wow, yes I've known her a little over a year now!! I haven't seen that video yet, but I've seen a bunch of her videos and they are super relateable for me as well since we have been through a lot of the same experiences! ^^

[@thierryf67]

chain restaurant are formatized food... better to discover local specialties and surprises ! diversity is source of happiness

[@JordanPatrick]

I agree and I do love local restaurants, don't get me wrong! My favorite French restaurants are small indépendant restos ! But there are so many chains in the states, and more of those came to mind in the rapid fire game so I chose that because I miss certain chains!

[@leseize26]

BBQ is a moment you share, filet mignon is ONE meal you share

[@JordanPatrick]

I really like that analogy!!

[@julientardieux]

Hi Jordan. If you like eating duck, you should try typical South west meals, like "confit de canard", or "magret de canard". About mustard (I live in Paris, but come from Burgundy) you should have the "old fashioned" one, with little seeds in it. PS : Americans are drivers, french are pilots. (especially in countryside)

[@JordanPatrick]

YES!! The restaurant I was talking about that I go to on my birthdays for duck is a BASQUE restaurant!!! SOOOO GOOOOD.. I like "confit de canard" sometimes, but it's not my favorite cause I prefer when there's no bone haha...Le "magret de canard" est très bon aussi!

[@julientardieux]

@@JordanPatrick I've stopped eating meat many years ago now, but I used to like the confit very much. (despite the bones, the meat comes off very easily).

[@TheCMLion]

I drove in France last Christmas... oy. I was fine on the highways, but was having a tough time finding my way around in the city (and it was a small city!). I like my big California freeways and the grids of the cities! I'm horrible with flags, but I immediately picked up on Kate's flag being wrong. There's a website (American) that was selling square pillows with the French tri-colors for $50, or the Netherlands' flag for $20. They were the same pillow, only turned in the proper direction for each flag.

[@JordanPatrick]

WOW that's crazy...I hope no one fell for that marketing gimmick! However neither flag is a square so they were already altering the shape of the flag and the two blue's are different colors as well! It's true the roads/signs/right of ways are totally different here so I'm glad I had to redo everything for my french drivers license because I feel much more comfortable on the roads since then and have been driving around the last couple years. Thanks for your comment!

[@rosamar7169]

Try filet mignon de porc cooking with yogurt it's an amazing french speciality even if it's seems weird

[@JordanPatrick]

OMG that sounds intimidating to cook 😅 haha.... but I'm always happy to try new things so WHY NOT!!! 😜

[@auroreamiami]

Une chose est sûre, je suis incapable de choisir entre pancakes et crêpes.. C'est différent, j'aime les deux tout autant. Par contre une chose qui est 100 fois mieux aux US : les donuts, j'ai une vraie passion pour ça! Une française aux USA, en manque de bons fromages 😂

[@JordanPatrick]

HAHA j'adore ton commentaire! Pour moi les pancakes sont vraiment mieux que les crepes sucrées...mais j'aime bien le fait qu'il y a aussi les crepes salées, ça j'suis big fan ^^. Et oui le fromage francais est difficile en trouver aux EU...et si tu le trouve, ça va couter un bras et une jambe HAHA 😅😅

[@auroreamiami]

Califo.Ricain c’est tout à fait ça, parfois l’envie de fromage prend le dessus et on l’achète mais c’est super cher! Et je confirme les crêpes salées c’est top 😇

[@anorluin9939]

I've once found a burger made with duck meat, probably one of the best I've ever eat in my entire life (along with st marcelin burgers, because st marcelin is all my life x) )

[@JordanPatrick]

ME TOO!!! I had a duck burger in Toulouse at this place called "Duck Me"...it was soooo gooooood!!!

[@j-loosenfout67]

@Jordan Patrick and Kate hello, Ho very surprised and happy to see you're friends cause I follow Kate since few years now, and didn't know you was friends. Well, I think, sometimes you don't compare good things cause I think for example if you say: Do you prefer French cook or American cook, I'm not sure the answer would be same. Or still, do you prefer French limousin beef or american beef? Not same quality at all between the both I think. Well, I'm nitpicking a bit, but I wouldn't be French if I didn't do it a minimum. :))) I also suggest to you both that maybe you could do a compilation of "bêtisier" with different scenes cut during editing. Not just from a single video, but from all of your videos if you still have the rushes in your possession. Otherwise, I advise you for your next videos to keep them and edit them to offer a compilation to your followers. It's often quite funny. Amitié X2 so :) N.B. : In France, there are two kinds of "pancakes". Sweet "pancakes" (always cooked in butter traditionally and with a pancake pan, you add either sugar, orange blossom, jam, fruit, melted chocolate, pear or apple compote, Chantilly cream, etc.) are called "Crèpes". And in this case for the preparation of the dough, we use white and sifted wheat flour or a mixture of different flours. But on the other hand, for the salty "pancakes" (you add emmental, eggs, crème fraîche, ham, mushrooms, or chicken, various vegetables, etc.) it's the same recipe for the dough, but this time we use buckwheat flour and we don't call them "Crèpes" but "Galettes". By cons, I hate American pizza. For me it's "fast food" with industrial products. I much prefer a real Italian pizza with a thin crust, cooked in a wood oven and including fresh tomatoes, mozarella, etc. But hey, I understand perfectly that for you it's a little "a madeleine of Proust" (I believe that I had already spoken of this typically French expression to Kate in comment under one of her videos) and that your taste of child and the memories it brings back make you prefer this type of pizza. But for me French, it's really what I call "junk food". :)

[@daniel-jeanpersyn9726]

Be careful: not all mustards are not equal !! If you put some in a sandwich for exemple, an « industrial mustard of Dijon » as « Maille » is great, but if You whant to taste great mustards for salades, or to eat meats then prefer « Edmond Fallot’s grain moustard with White wine » ;-)

[@JordanPatrick]

Oooooh these sound good, we will have to try those! I actually did a road-trip to Dijon with some friends of mine a couple years ago and we thought we were gonna see big factories of moutard, but we only saw a couple small independent shops ...we were a little surprised! 😅

[@samsami3257]

Very nice content, chilled out persons ! thumbs up A side question: I noticed a slight beautiful accent difference, where do both of you come from ? Cheers

[@JordanPatrick]

Thanks for the complement! I'm glad you enjoyed it :). Kate is from the mid-west and I'm from Southern California! She's been living in France a few years longer than I have, so I think the accent difference in English is that hers is slightly more Frenchified than mine is (yet haha)

[@UnintentionallyFrenchified]

Do i get the dollars! It's the netherlands flag and It's Kate!! :)

[@JordanPatrick]

Sure you'll get your doll hairs! Which do you prefer, blonde or brunette? haha 😂

[@thierryf67]

why having to choose from burger or duck ? i don't understand, it's so different... what do you call a "burger", is it ground beef or beefsteak ? i like both beef and duck.

[@JordanPatrick]

Yeah that's a good point! Idk I was randomly choosing two different typical meals from USA and France. Something that included meat and I just love duck 😅. I probably could have chosen like Buffalo chicken wings VS duck... So two cultural dishes that are at least poultry... But oh well 😂

not to mistake Grey Poupon so called Dijon mustard for the real deal ;-)

[@JordanPatrick]

Haha I've never heard of Grey Poupon before! haha is that a knock off brand of mustard??

[@fredericfredthefrenchgring9750]

@@JordanPatrick I just found out that Grey Poupon was a brand of mustard originally created by two French guys from Dijon France, but the rights to produce it in the US were purchased sometime in the 1940's and the brand was eventually phased out in France in 1970 by the mother company that produces the "moutarde Maille" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Poupon) I used to see Grey Poupon anywhere at Kroger's or Walmart's in Illinois in the mid 90's to early 2K's .

[@transportssadry2265]

On peut mettre des choses sur les crêpes aussi! En plus ça peut être "salé" ou "sucré" :)

Have you ever been to Brittany? If so, you would definitively prefer crêpes !

[@JordanPatrick]

Not yet! I've been to Monte Saint Michel once, and Nantes a few times so I guess those would be the closest I've been to Brittany. I've visited Normandy a few times, also not too far so next time I definitely need to go further towards Rennes and Brest!!

[@paulchapoy992]

@@JordanPatrick I'm from Brittany. I recommand you also St Malo (the city of the corsaire Surcouf) and above all the Inter-Celtic Festival of Music that takes place at Lorient every July ! You will see proud Brittan and Scottish musicians as well as spectacular Irish dancers ! Amazing! Don't forget to eat crêpes you drink with cidre ! Miam Miam !

Duuuude. Chicago deep dish is not American its only in Chicago! New York pizza through and through.

[@JordanPatrick]

Haha I love both styles! You can find both Chicago style and NY style in different restaurants all around the US ^^. In California one of my favorite places for Chicago style was "BJ's Bar and Grill"...and my fave NY style at home was "Vincenzo's Pizza". (When I was in NYC the last time, I must have had "Rizzo's" like 5 times! Sooo Good!)

[@sadafvlogs3123]

But in Paris coffee is very good and not a expensive.

[@JordanPatrick]

Yes I agree..it's not about how much it costs, it's about the rich taste of espresso :) compared to american "watery" coffee !

Filet mignon in the US is rather thick and not thin strips. In any event, I don't like barbeque so I would always choose filet mignon.

[@JordanPatrick]

Filet mignon is good, I like it too...they were both good options and either response to this one was good quality!

Même émotion mais par rapport aux vaches. Vu des reportages suisses notamment ds lesquels les gens avaient des relations avec des vaches aussi sinon plus intimes qu'avec des chiens ou des chats. Burger une ou deux fois par année mais genre un Osso buco. Quand tu peux identifier la partie du corps de l'animal. Pas capable! Au secours!

Haha merci pour ton commentaire! C'est une très bonne perspective! Les suisses ont des relations intimes avec leurs vaches!? Haha jk je comprends ce que tu dis, le fait qu'ils respectent leurs animaux :). J'apprécie cette mentalité! C'est vrai qu'en France on a des burgers à la bonne qualité et ça me fait plaisir de voir certains restaurants à Paris avec la signe "Bœuf Limousine" dans la vitrine ^^.
