Please be warned South Africa is VERY ADDICTIVE, you might find yourselves being given South African names if you don't have them already, and you may decide to stay forever. You are in a majority so that may also be a factor. Enjoy your stay .

God bless you and your family my Gee. Anyone who shows love to Mzansi (South Africa) I send links to my social network friends and followers and y'all deserve all the love hands down ❤❤. 1 love , 1 Mzansi , 1 Africa 🌍 ❤❤ much love to all my fellow African brothers and sisters.

Someday I'm going to invite you to a real braai at home. It's not just the food, it's an experience

A braai is even better shared with friends around the fire - from the fire to the plate outside 🎉 A big hug to your sweet baby !! Stay well & many blessings ❤

Mr Freedom Chaser loves his food. His face tells the tale… 😂😂 We love it ….❤

My wife just made a good point. A Braai is not about the food, but about the process. From lighting the fire, the "kyer" (party\pleasantries\atmosphere), the meat on the grill, salads, braai broodjies and the eating.

Can’t have a braai without chakalaka, now that meal looks delicious, plus I love meat

The real spirit of the Braai is not just the food (the destination), but the journey to get there and those around you. The fire, the coals, the smoke, the drinks, the laughs and atmosphere. that is what makes it truly special.

Pata Pata is an awesome joint that's all about Maboneng's goodness. I stroll into the place and it's like an ode to that groovy Afro pop song by Miriam Makeba which is where they got their name from. Pata Pata isn't just a regular old restaurant, it's like a food voyage through SA. They proudly flaunt all the incredible flavors this country's got. Their menu is like a love letter to SA using fresh local stuff to whip up faves like morogo, idombolo, and potjie. Now, the real deal was those boboti springrolls. Imagine all the warmth and spice of traditional SA boboti wrapped up in a crispy springroll with a side of tangy sweet chilli sauce. It was a flavor party in my mouth. Then there's the lamb shank so tender it basically falls apart drenched in rich gravy with idombolo (steamed dumplings) and butternut. And don't sleep on the morogo wild spinach so good I considered ordering a plateful. The fillet steak was a winner too rocking a peppadew and honey mustard sauce that's sweet and savory perfection. What's killer about Pata Pata is how they make every plate look like a work of art. It's like you almost don't want to eat it but of course you do. The presentation isn't just for show, it adds to the whole flavor experience. If you're a vegetarian or vegan no worries, they've got you covered. Prices might raise an eyebrow at first but trust me you get heaps of food for your buck. Pata Pata isn't just a place to eat, it's SA culture party with food. Every bite's like a song and each dish has a story. My Pata Pata adventure was a taste of SA I won't forget, a journey through deliciousness and tradition.

Love you guys content. Nothing beats an SA braai. The Argentinians might give us a run for our money though😊

Let's give them names MH let me think 🤔 Thandi and Thabani 🇿🇦 Thandi means love ❤️ Thabani means joy or happiness

What I love is the way your faces light when you speak about South African food. 😁

I love that you use your hands to eat Pap and chakalala yay 😍. I also loved when Husband put Pap chakalala and wors together yummy. Always look forward to your videos ❤

Hey guys, so glad you are visiting and eating outside the norm. Hopefully you will go on a road trip soon aswell.

Fun fact😹😹😹I think it is illegal to go to Maboneng without taking a photo in the street with that Maboneng hanging behind you😹😹😹 I love my country 🇿🇦

Even the baby is chowing❤

Braais are one of my favorites times ... You guys need to head to Durban and try a proper bunny chow.. I know you sampled them in Cape town.. but those Cape towners can't make bunny's like the Durbanites 😂

I’m so happy you’re having Chakalaka it has to be part of everyyyy meaalllll esp Pap!😭😂🔥

Only one thing is amiss, a Bafana Bafana soccer t-shirt, Proteas cricket t-shirt or a Springbok rugby jersey.

Enjoy

Always love watching y'all videos! The food looks delicious. Seems like Black folks will always find a way to light a fire, grill some meat, and commune with each other over the food! ❤

Yes you right dumpling is steamed bread, nice one guys ♥️

Daaaaam that's some good food right there I'm sooo hungry right now

I have great memories of the Jeppestowns. I used to ride the metro rail from the station next to Maboneng. My brother has a prop car shop right there at Maboneng. Shout-out to you guys trying Chisa Nyama. I'm curious if you guys have noticed that Jacaranda trees in Joburg. Pretoria is the best place to see them but I suggest you find an elevated area to get a nice view of them.

that's lit family 😅😅😅😅😅

My mans going in on🔥🔥🔥

Your wife’s reaction to the food is amazing and yours too actually the dumplings is steam bread she was right 😂😂❤

Okay, that was a lot of food!! The meat looks very tender and delicious 😋!

Your kid is the perfect age to start learning the Xhosa language and Afrikaans ❤

Dude!! you need to go play some Club rugby when you are here!! Supersport park in Centurion normally has a few teams playing there.

Ok

Come to Durban, and I assure you i will show your best traditional food ❤😂

I love maboneng. I hope I get to live in Johannesburg again at some point in my life

You can tell they missed this spot while they were out of the country

Bro! Whenever you come to Cape Town. Hit me up. Wait until you experience a Gatsby from Cosy Corner!!

The food in S.A is actually very good ...if I had to recommend something to you guys it would be to try the pepper sauce or mushroom sauce by spur on thier burgers....that sauces makes the the difference lol

We called it wors (pronounce vors) not sausage.. well done on the chakalaka pronunciation

Please try kwa Mai mai next I'll subscribe

Hi there you must try braai bread it's a sandwich with tomato ,onion ,cheese, salt and pepper with chutney then you grill it slowly on the coals till the cheese melts take it of and eat while warm dont forget the potato salad but not all people can make a great potato salad I'm a pro .

The meat platter looks yummy! Hope you will try umngqusho with a well cooked hardbody,invite a Xhosa friend please And next invite a Zulu friend to cook Iphuthu and enjoy it with amasi, Should you visit Cape Town, do the Cape Malay colored cuisine and the coloured fishing community at Kalk Bay for fresh sea food, And enjoy our diverse South African meals

You guys you shud come visit Pretoria east side of Menlyn and menlyn main the are nice apartment or house this side of Pretoria east the likes of silverlakes ,equestrian no loadshedding and side of La Montagne , Marray field place it’s so nice peaceful to stay

That walk in the start of the video looked like you were in New York for a moment.

A fire, meat and spice. All you need

Hey man, I'm from Florida. I'm here in SA right now. Helderburg area. I'd love to meet up with you and talk American/ SA differences. It would be a cool meet up and chat. I'm here till Tuesday. Let's hook up

Where is this restaurant😋😋😋? and I am glad that they delivered good Food.

Not to be funny or anything. I guess people will understand ya'll ain't from SA, but never, and I mean never smell food at a black person's house. They could see that as hella disrespectful. You know how our people are sensitive even though you're trying to soak the whole experience in. I find nothing wrong with it personally

Meat Seasoned with “6 guns”… now you know why black people in SA be getting that hypertension 🤣🤣… Love y’all!! God bless!

Try a bunny chow in Durban South Africa

Eat

practically a local. pap, chakalaka etc 😅 Damn bro

You guys need to buy a braai stand and braai your own meat

Hy guys get chicken liken hot wings and the hot sauce Let us know

😂😂😂😂😂

There's alot of controversy between S Africans on how you should make things and cook it, especially things like Boerewors, bobotie, fagots (skilpadjies) and for steak before braaing they should be salted and air dried for half an hour before putting on the grid, there's alot of different biltong and droewors to try depending on where you buy it but every second person has their own recipe for things but what I want to see you guys try is walkie talkies which I think is a very SA thing. Personally we just feed it to the dogs because it's cheaper than dog food 🤣

😂😂😂 where is your wife to help you destroying Mt Everest. That's elephantine plate right there. Oops thot you flying solo at Maboneng 😂😂😂.

The problem with our braai is that the taste always depends on the person who is braai’ing the meat😅 we love to braai but we love to show off our braai to others even more. Everyone thinks that their braai is better then the next person😅

Glad you finally got a braai done in SA. My invite still stands if you want another braai, and you need to have it with Braai Broodjies (braai bread- very different from the dumplings, and potatoe salad SA style 😂 My invitation stands your family is welcome any time 😊

dumplings = ugali = pap = sadza = .... its got so many names, and you cant escape from it in the motherland.

Ma man in SA you don't get a braai but u do a braaithat thing is a street food

How much for the platter Food ?👍🏾👍🏾💰 Thanks

Bro that’s a lot of food… did you roll out the resturant?😅😅

My friend got stabbed to death in maboneng, be careful...

Hey can you give me some advice on how to earn money online (preferably us dollars).

your phone will be snatched, watchout this is Jozi not atlanta

It's not really the braai. it's the "kyer" some people don't even eat but they enjoyed the braai😂

what about the xenophiba? is it safe to live there for black Americans

With due respect we dont smell food... Your husband will fit into many situations and cultures and bond more with people more than you will sis...

This guy love's his food 😂

+@FREDOM CHASERS : American sausage is made of "PORK" CORRECT.....?? Are you not Hebrew Yisraelites.....?? I hope that sausage is made of "BEEF" and not "PORK"....!!! Shabbat Shalom, Salaam ..........!!! 💋💞❤️‍🔥🥰👑🕎👑😍💝💕👄

It is not a traditional South African meal though. Thank you, sir and ma'am.

Im sorry, but thats not braai, thats some weird meat and pap on a fancy tray. A braai is a bunch of guys standing around a fire, with any meat on the roatser, trying to hide from the woman. Eating directly from the grill and maybe serving the rest of the family afterwards. Kidding, but that's definitely not a PROPER braai expeiance. oh I forgot about the beers, there must be beers.

Who serves food on wood? Only in SA. That country is overrated. Jeez!

Isn't he based in capetown thou
