Gumbo is so good. When I ate it it just felt like a warm hug in your mouth. So hearty warm and just flavorful. I should learn to make it and save some money lol.

That part was SO! FUNNY!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He certified Black I knew got the idis after that ...

Brings me back to the fantastic week I spent in Lafayette. Such fresh seafood totally unlike we get here in Ottawa Canada. Boudin, collards, and the red beans and rice!! Best we can do here is Popeyes. It’s good, but nothing like getting it at the source. My only regrets are missing the crawfish boil, the peaches and having to come back home. I am dying to go back.

And also “NOW I see why you Americans are fat. This is irresistible.”

Ayooo 😂😂😂😂

Don't really need to spice the batter when your fish is high quality, which any good chippy should go for.

I love shrimp and chips in is varieties, but adding spice to the batter really does make a difference in the flavor.

@@overthemoon34 Nah, you still use spice. Hell, even on a good steak you still use salt and pepper with some butter. You gotta have something in there to give it flavor, it compliments the thing being fried.

@@scorpiusbalthazar4327 Salt and pepper are not spices, spices aren't required for good quality food, good quality food will always taste good, spices are used to help with poor quality ingredients.

African American cooking is foundational to how Americans eat food. Just as with everything else in America, with African Americans being foundational to America’s development, commerce, trade, language, music, sports, entertainment, religion, fashion, trends, body sizes, social interactions, etc etc etc, the way Americans as whole experience food and cuisine is founded on African Americans and food..

.... hair, lawmaking, policing, politics, slang, dance... the list goes on on and on... American food is just the start ... How Americans interpret and experience all of these things in life is foundational to African Americans in America. Peace

@@noble604isn’t thanksgiving foods founded from natives though ? Also what about the Hispanics and Latino culture, and let’s not forget the Europeans national dishes that was influenced in America like the burger from Germany or Asian food like Chinese where a Chinese man came and made his “American way of Chinese” But just like majority of European foods long with American , we say whites made them when it was actually black people or other races that did specially with a lot of European food. Who cares tho, according to history aren’t we all supposedly from Africa , just different shades of skin from traveling to other countries

A little goes a long way with hot sauce. But, I give them credit for their enthusiasm with applying it on the jambalaya 👍

It's only Crystal, it's not that hot.

I saw Josh pick up that bottle and I immediately thought "Oh no, that's way too much!"

No country on earth has better food then the US. That's the best part of our "melting pot" so many different cuisines all across the country.

@@joshlewis575 Best food is from Mexico~ plus America is NOT a melting pot. But a salad bowl with different textures and flavors

It doesn't take much to make me happy out of New Orleans. Hand me a big bowl of red beans and rice, a side of greens, and I probably won't go much beyond that. HOWEVER, one time over in Metairie I ordered up a shrimp-done-seven-ways dinner combo, and when I think back on it, great googly-moogly!, I imagine what food in Heaven must be like.

They damn sure gotta find a crawdad boil somewhere even tho they are out of season. Don't forget gator. I love gator when it's cooked right. Texture of a great pork chop but a fish flavor. snapping turtle pretty good also.

You like Crystal or Louisiana? And why is there no rice in the gumbo? AND do you put potato Alden in your gumbo?

@@TheKrs911 I like both crystal and Louisiana, but I prefer crystal. And idk why they didn’t put rice, I didn’t make it but I do like having rice with my gumbo. And no I don’t put potatoes in my gumbo.

@@Veeeeee873 so I just heard about the potato salad in gumbo. I was like WTH. My parents, grandparents and great grandparents are creole from MS and LA but being from NY may have ruined me. They like Louisiana in MS and Crystal in LA. I gots to have the rice. 😂😂😂 that is for responding.

Unfortunately the city itself never really recovered from Katrina, but the music, alcohol, and FOOD of New Orleans really is incredible. There's such a huge variety of food and everything is so flavorful and interesting. Many restaurants are also pretty old with history and character.

Oh yeah. It's great!

Pinnacle? That's a bit of a stretch!

As an Englishman who worked all over the USA for 10 years, I couldn't agree more. Each state has their own thing and if you avoid the fast food joints you can find excellent local traditional foods. Shout out to GA fried Green tomatoes. I can eat them like crisps.

White vs black 😂

@@dionned.6176what? Aren’t they both black

@@Kanija5creoles are black and cajuns are white

We ate at the Acme Oyster House and their oysters are good there too, we also tried their Boos Fries, delicious homemade gravy on that one makes a lovely snack while waiting for our food.

The grilled oysters there are delicious too, haven't found anything like them at other restaurants.

@@papajiggly Oh man, grilled oysters... with cheese melted over them... yummy 😋😋😋

I think they would too. I used to live in Korea. That said, I had a friend from New Orleans who made a great living for herself cooking in China. Her food was amazing.

as a louisiana native i disagree 😭😭 smaller towns have better food but you’ll have to know a native to know or be one.

​@Luna-wt2ot None of that over spiced and battered stuff beats Boudin Blanc, red beans and rice with a side of maque choux.

Cajun food is probably the most flavorful Americana genre of cuisine...roughly comparable to Southeast/South Asian.

@@Luna-wt2ot wut?! I am a native lmao! I’ve lived in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette and spent a lot of time in Monroe, Shreveport, Rayne, Eunice, etc… I have no idea what you’re talking about but I still stand behind my statement. If you’ve truly enriched yaself with all the culture that south Louisiana has to offer, you’ll know why they call New Orleans a melting pot. I ain’t talking about all the tourist traps or high end restaurants (although some of them are out of this world good). Smaller towns have a great food but it’s a lot of times lots of butter, over seasoned and mainly fried. Let’s be real, the diversity and eclectic cuisine New Orleans specifically offers, if more unique than most of those places. Only a true native whose lived all over this state would know that though.

This is hilarious. I have never thought of this before!

I completely agree with what you said here. Just the thought of a KZfaq or any content creator recording in a restaurant just seems so wrong. But they are not being loud or rude or obnoxious. What they are doing is not adversely affecting the people who are just there to have a meal.

as someone whos spent their whole life in NJ, except for 2 years in Baton Rouge, i couldnt wait to see their reaction to Louisiana’s cuisine. jambalaya will always be my favorite food

wouldve been great to see them try etouffee and crawfish, finish it off with a beignet. hopefully they can give all that a go before leaving NOLA

The Den is better than most restaurants I've been to. For those who don't know, this is the bar/restaurant attached to the Howlin Wolf venue. I still remember getting a sandwich they called the three little pigs. Pulled pork, bacon, sausage, and malevolent delight. So good that I still think about it 6+ years later.

Best food I’ve had consistently was in New Orleans. Every place I ate at was so good

I never forget how good we have it. All you have to do is fly away for a week. You’ll appreciate it when you get home.

As they say in louisiana. Our seafood slept in the Gulf last night. That’s how fresh it is. 10:01

It seems so obvious right? Food tastes better when its seasoned, so you season all the food. But apparently nobody in England has ever hit upon that idea lol.

​​@@chriswhinery925Some people have more sensitive palates than others. I like spices, but most here don't.

Right!?! I was SHOCKED when Ollie said they don’t season their batter! As someone from South Georgia, that sounds BLASPHEMOUS to me! Like what does their fried fish taste like!?! Grease & flour flavored fish!? 🤭🤭🤭

Born and raised in Cajun country and I still don't like the potato salad in gumbo. It has to be separate. 😅 Boiled eggs in gumbo really creep me out. I don't know how that got started.

as sb else from louisiana i second this!!!!

Love potato salad as a side for gumbo but I can't put it in there 😂 north Louisiana though so i guess we a little bit different 🤷

@@KINGSLAYERTURBO North Louisiana here too.....Who yo people? Rice YES, potato salad on the SIDE😋😘🥰!

I'm a flight attendant, and the first time I had an overnight in New Orleans, I woke up in my hotel room fully clothed with a black eye that I didn't remember getting and a muffuletta sandwich in a to go box. I'd also spent some north of $400 and I had utterly no memory of it. The Muffuletta was excellent.

LOL I worked in Louisiana for 8 months and gained like 30 lbs...LOL!

🤣🤣

@@tigerjonn It's so easy to gain weight there, the food is sooo good. Plus if the Cajuns/Creo's like you it's one big party and food fest the whole time you're there.

Not Korean but there’s a huge Southeast Asian presence in Louisiana, particularly Vietnamese and they’ve influenced LA food considerably, they even call it Vietcajun

Korea and Louisiana do the best fried chicken. I think there actually is a place in Seoul that makes New Orleans style fried chicken.

@@coldwar45 Agreed, one of the biggest things about our food is the diversity, not only in the native dishes, but also international. I live in the capitol area and you'll find just as many Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Mexican, and Indian restaurants as you will southern food places. There's even been a surge of Japanese restaurants in recent years.

I have been to some Vietnamese spots that serve both egg rolls and red beans and rice. It’s all good with good food. Actually I think the bakery that usually wins best king cake in NOLA is Vietnamese owned. Vietnam was controlled by France for a time also.

@@anndeecosita3586 Yes! That bakery is so well known in the area. It’s called Dong Phuong. Absolutely worth the hype and praise. And I honestly do not care for king cake at all but theirs is top tier

I've only visited once during a spring break. That was a bit of a mistake on our timing. So crowded at nights in the French Qtr. But I must say we ate the best food at every meal on every day we were there. We ate at all kinds of places. High priced places and corner stores. The food is so good there. And mostly it is the people there. Everyone working in the food industry was so darn friendly. It was like being home with family and friends. I tell people all the time that it is a must visit place. It is so unique in location, the nature so different, the wonderful music everywhere, Art work even in the yards, the home styles. My only complaint is how dirty it looks to the eye in the surrounding area. Thrash on sides of roads. That was before Catherina.

I still dream of the breakfast sandwich I got at Cafe Fleur de Lis, a little hole-in-the-wall place on Royal in the French Quarter. And that was only one of many memorable meals!

Absolutely true. I plan my visits to New Orleans around Lil Dizzy's daily specials menu. So glad to see the Jolly lads enjoying this fine experience.

Just wondering.. how do the (awful) US chain restaurants do in Louisiana? I can't imagine there's much demand for Olive Garden etc. in New Orleans?

Exactly! And Georgia soul food or South Carolina soul food are all very different. And the somewhere like Miami is a completely different experience altogether. I'd like to see them scoot around Miami next. I think they're starting to understand that every state a little bit like going to a different country in Europe, except the language stays the same.

Pretty much the same for any countries these days, you can get Mcdonalds in India, Indian in the UK and every culture under the sun in Europe.

The south has the best food in America.. there is no competition

@@kansashoneybadger7899 that’s why Americans don’t have to travel outside of the country much. We have so many diverse foods, cultures, ethnicities, climates and landscapes right here in the US.

Speaking of California, we have a couple of pretty decent cajun/creole restaurants in San Francisco (and I say that having been to New Orleans many times). One I patronize fairly often is called Brenda's Meat and Three ("Meat and Three"--that's three side dishes--being a standard NOLA lunch grouping). It has a very New Orleans vide which makes sense, Brenda being a NOLA transplant.

@@jamesray9009 My husband and I are currently having to live in an apartment complex in a big city in another state due to work related reasons on his side.

💯

I agree with you 100%. Well, then there is the diversity within each cuisine! File Gumbo, I had heard of that, but didn't know it was different from Okra Gumbo. By the looks of that bowl of stew, I would eat File Gumbo. That slimy stuff with okra... nope can't do that. Every Jambalya I've seen is a stew. I thought that was their version of Dirty Rice. That oyser dressing made from cornbread... looked fabulous. All of that sounds amazing! Living in Texas, we know about Creole/Cajun food, but I'm too far west to have a Cajun restaurant nearby. Now TexMex, I have half a dozen cafes/diners in my medium sized town, and each of them have their Signature dish that keeps you rotating from one Tex Mex cafe to another. Then there is the Regional differences from Mexican cuisine, that diversify TexMex, or CalMex, or New Mexico Versions. Bless the USA and all the different foods!

Yep. We have all the major cities with their specialties in NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Miami. We have the mid-size cities like Pittsburgh and the Pierogi, Primanti sammich, and cookie tradition; Cincinnati with the skyline chili and bratwurst; Louisville's hot brown and the state's bourbons; and Portland, and Seattle, and Minneapolis, and and and and. We have the regional BBQ cuisines of Texas, Missouri, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama.... We have the African traditions in the Carolinas and the eventual soul foods around the South. We have the Indigenous traditions in Arizona, New Mexico, Montana... We have hidden treasures like Atlanta and Birmingham food scenes. We have Tex-Mex. We have every Chinatown in America. We have Korea-Fusion. We have everything, except a place to get good Singaporean food. I wish we had a food hawker culture somewhere in the US. Here in the United States, we have the most diverse traditions. And that is in large part to our immigrants from all over the world.

Thing is that a lot of the ingredients that make authentic creole food might be hard to source in the UK. Probably not too easy to get authentic Louisiana style sausage there, for example.

@@chriswhinery925 Or they could, you know, IMPORT the ingredients....Crazy, right?

@@scorpinok3006 Which would significantly up the cost and therefore the price to the customers. Not to mention that some ingredients, like crawfish, don't ship well in a fresh state, so they'd have to use frozen, compromising the quality. I'm not saying it's IMpossible but there are logistical issues that make the idea not so obviously profitable.

Si 👏 me

I think if you add the southwest also I whole heartedly agree, but hard to beat a city like New Orleans or Savannah!

Louisiana food is much better and tastier than food in Georgia. sorry

The South wins easily for regional food, and I say that as a military brat who's lived everywhere in the country. California is excellent for world food, though.

Oh. Now we’re are pretending that creole and Cajun food is southern. Lol

Louisiana is quite different from traditional southern food. The other parts of the south are still good though but Louisiana is its own thing and is on a different level imo.

it hurt my soul to see them eat gumbo without rice 😂

They shoulda drowned the jambalaya in it

1:09 She says Gombo is 75 years old but it's much older it's originating from French Louisiana during the 18th century and oldest mention of it is in 1802 in numerous French cooking book then in the second half of the 19th century in many American cooking books.
