KZfaqrs have been the absolute best form of worldwide advertising for Terry Black's. Lol

18. -a guy in the US watching a guy from Portugal watch British people eating Texas BBQ.

Keep in mind that 99.9% of Americans have never eaten at Terry Black's BBQ. The way these reaction videos are going, it won't be long before a higher percentage of Brits than Americans have eaten there.

André my friend, Texan here. I had brisket for breakfast yesterday. Yes, we put brisket everywhere.

Pretty much every state in the South and Southern midwest has its own version of barbecue, and rabid partisans for all of them.

There are at least *18* reasons to watch this outstanding Portuguese man! 😊👍

As a Texan I've spent many years perfecting my BBQ. I started when I was 17 and I'm still at it at 54. Nothing and no one does BBQ better than Texas!! I love getting up before daylight and firing up the pitt to produce the best BBQ possible. I was on a cook off team for 4 years before I branched off on my own. I stopped competing and now I do it for my own family and friends. Nothing better than turning out top notch BBQ at the end of the day!!!

I was just in Waco, TX and a Terry Black's just opened up about a block from my hotel. There is nothing quite as much fun as eating a beef rib! EVERYTHING was delicious! It made my local BBQ place seem amateurish. It's 100% worth a visit. 18 - This doesn't mean you aren't a crazy guy in Portugal watching videos.

Burnt ends are not necessarily burnt. It just has more bark.

18, you're not alone--I'm from Missouri, watching a guy from Portugal watching a couple from Britain eat BBQ in Texas. The internet is a beautiful (and weird!) thing.... LOL! I do like BBQ sauce on mine, but if it's smoked and seasoned well, it really doesn't need it.

It's not actually burned. And did you notice they're using plastic utensils? Turkey prepared our way is not dry. 18. The sauce is referred to as dipping sauce, so you're not drowning the meat on the platter. Vanilla ice cream on hot cobbler is definitely a pro move.

18. A Californian here watching Andre watching Brits try Texas bbq. 😊 And loving every minute of it!

As someone in Austin..please just use your hands..you don't need the utensils except for the sides. Yes BBQ is very expensive now so just be prepared. The outer layer is a mix of salt, pepper and sometimes garlic powder then just a long time in a woodfired smoker.

My little brother made an amazing smoked brisket last weekend and we used the leftovers to make nachos. It was freaking delicious!

Remember you have paid for the meat and for the rest of the meal. It is yours if you please to take it home and eat the rest of it. That's up to you.

Just an fyi. Kansas City, Missouri has more bbq restaurants per capita than any city in America and we think ours is pretty damn good too. Nothing against Texas but there are several great bbq cities in America, all different styles.

No tipping at Terry Blacks! No servers, no need to tip! : )

18 & still watching even though I've seen their video already.

Dad's backyard was My favorite BBQ place. He loved cooking that way

18. Not a crazy Portuguese Man, just an adopted American and possible future Texan.

18 ❤❤❤❤❤ Andre the chef is called a Pit Master. A true seasoned master of their craft 😊

Native Texan here, and the magic that most BBQ places (and the rest of us) use on any type of poultry (Turkey, Chicken, etc.) is they do a salt water brine with some seasonings and submerge the entire bird. Depending on how they salt the brine, and the flavors, the time submerged will vary. Then they inject the meat with some flavors and seasoning that they like. Then they cover the outside skin and sometimes partially inside of the turkey. Then they use their preferred wood, and watch the heat and fire; that’s the magic.

As someone that's into grilling & BBQing, turkey is absolutely amazing. Probably is that 90% of people over cook turkey. Edited: 18

18! Love this! I’m a native Texan watching Brits eating bbq and watching a Portuguese guy watching them eating it and realizing I could drive there tomorrow and eat this. Feeling blessed. Love your channel!

I'm a Texan and no BBQ can compare to Texas (my opinion).

Smoked turkey is amazing! ❤

Almost 40 years ago, I was doing Texas style ribs in the backwoods of North Carolina before I knew it was a thing.

Interesting comments at 18. BBQ from Texas is ok, keeping in mind that Texas is one of several regions of BBQ in the US. Eastern NC, Western NC, TN, AL, GA, and Kansas are the other outstanding regions. Each region has the things it is known for, and none are "bad". Texas beef brisket, Kansas sliced beef, NC pulled pork, SC and TN ribs...... I'm hungry! I grew up on Eastern NC BBQ. Best known for pulled pork and chicken.... marinated in vinegar & spice-based marinade 12-24 hours then slow cooked for another 24 hours (minimum). Absolutely delicious. I grew up in a farming community, and we normally celebrated family or community events with whole hog BBQ. Rather than separating the various parts and cooking them separately, the hog was divided in two halves, marinated and cooked intact for up to two days. Typically served right off the smoker. BBQ actually started in the US in North Carolina as a commercial product, as back in the late 1700's and early 1800's politicians wanted to get people to come to their political rallies. The people of the time often had bad teeth. What better way to please the citizens than to provide a meal where the meat, vegetables, and desert did not need to be chewed as it was all melt in your mouth. Regardless of where you might go to try BBQ.... two rules. One is take the advice of the locals. Two..... always pick the place that looks like an old run-down building, not the new modern building unless it is highly recommended. Old pits at old buildings with people who have been cooking for decades are usually better.

You really should look up the history of BBQ in America, and especially the brisket. It's hard to believe that meat cuts that we considered to be trash in the day, and now some of the best eats you can have.

18. Texas here. Never had Terry Black's, but i love bbq and burnt ends are amazing. So flavorful

Honestly don't care about the pausing. Your input is great and it makes me laugh so never apologize for the input!

It's not really burnt. The color comes from the smoke. Which means flavor

I'm not sure Andre. I haven't been to this place, but it looks like you order and get your food, then take it to the table yourself. There's no wait staff. As such, this would be a place you wouldn't tip. Edit: 18

I'm from Arizona but was stationed in San Antonio, TX and worked there in public sector for another 18 months after. Married a beautiful Texas lady. Not sure how you can beat Texas, sure treated me right LOL.

You should try to make banana pudding. You have the ingredients: vanilla pudding (powder mix or premade), over ripe bananas (the mushier the better), and a vanilla cookie like maybe bolachas? Just layer the bananas, pudding, cookies, bananas, pudding, cookies until you get to the top. Allow that to chill in the fridge for several hours or overnight. Top with whipped cream if you like and more cookies. The trick is to get the bananas to release their flavor into the vanilla pudding, so mushy bananas, and chill time. Boom. You've made banana pudding.

Haha! Is this "legal"? I'm from Minnesota, only been to Texas once. European might not know it would even take be like 20 hours to get to Texas straight down Hwy 35. These taste testers are even getting more in their life than the average american. Never been to the Northeast. Let these videos coming European folk. We get to experience through you as well!

18 my friend! A lot of people react to this place for BBQ. Nothing wrong there of course, but a lot of different areas have their own version of BBQ and all are equally amazing! Just don't mention how one area is better than another unless you are wanting to start a fight! If you are in Kansas City, you will find they are proud of their version, as well as Texas bbq, Oklahoma BBQ, Tennessee BBQ...ect. Love the vids!

18! A native Texan watching a Portuguese watching a British couple eating Texan Barbecue! Life is Great!

18. living in Texas I work less than a mile from the Austin Terry Blacks, seriously worth the experience. Honestly the food in Austin as a whole is on another level.

18... During my first pregnancy, I craved banana pudding, lol. I went through an entire casserole sized dish of it every 2 days. I've had barbecue all throughout the South, and I think Texas has the best, with North Carolina coming in second. It's all good, though!

No rice, just bbq baked beans with brisket or any other parts of bbq meat and sausage mixed in. Delicious! She kept saying salt and pepper on the meat lol. Yes, there's always a yummy sauce for bbq. Americans love a good sauce. 18

18 and I am not at all fond of Texas humidity or tornadoes or...or...but this BBQ looks incredible! We need this in Spain!!!

All the different regions that are famous for BBQ are different yet excellent in their own right , you won't be disappointed in any of them !

18 BUDDY .. Americans love you! :)

Also, there are multiple places just as good as Terry Black's. Heck, you find the right back yard and you'll have brisket just as good.

i usually watch till the end but it astonishes me no matter how many different people from different nations don't grasp that smoking or pickling or jelly are all such ancient forms of food preparations even frying is a form of preservation the human race from and all over the world has their own form of this type of food storage

18 The best BBQ has a lot to do with how you cook it. In Texas, it's about keeping it simple in terms of spices and sauces on a brisket. They focus on smoking low and slow until the bark on the outside and the texture is perfect. It's why traditionally dry meat like turkey is good there. They cook it to the proper way to keep it moist. In my opinion Texas BBQ is the best in the country. While some people prefer sauces and spices, in Texas it's about letting the flavor of the meat shine. I view it similar to a good liquor. When it's good you want to only taste the liquor. If it's lower quality you mix with other flavors like heavy BBQ sauces.

11:35. Moist Turkey is not just exclusive to Texas Andre. Americans know how to moisten and season meat in general. But Texas does take it to another level.

whoever said mix mac and cheese and beans was probably stoned out their mind

18 All the BBQ styles across the U.S. are delicious. An important factor that makes Texas BBQ so good is the quality of the grass-fed beef. Most U.S. cows are forced to eat unnatural diets made from corn and soy, which fattens them quickly but affects the taste of the beef.

Native Texan here! This weekend we went to the Original Black’s! Had a great time there and bummed around Lockhart. Then we bought sausages from Smitty’s. It was all good!

Texan here. Why can I only like this video once? I wanna leave, like 18.

18! I’m from Galveston Texas, and I’ve never been to Terrys Black, but Killians Bbq in Pearland is absolutely great!

18. Born in the Great State of Texas, grew up in Ga. Southern twice blessed. Hope you get to come to the US soon!

It’s not so much burned, it’s the bark of the brisket. Best part 🔥🔥🔥🔥 just found this channel and definitely love and appreciate the love you show to our state 🤘🏽

I laughed so hard at your reaction to “I would love some sausage darling” 😂

I'm pescetarian (eat fish/seafood), but your reactions and yearning for the food is still worth a watch...18😊

I almost always watch to the end, 18. I’m from North Carolina and barbecue here is very different, it’s mostly pork, we raise a lot of pigs. We have different styles of barbecue and it’s usually eaten with vinegar slaw. Peach cobbler is my choice for dessert, I love it.

18 - From a guy in Albuquerque New Mexico, watching a Russian Guy pretend to be from Portugal, watching some Brits eat Texas BBQ.

Just a question! Why is Texas your favorite state? You haven’t been to any state yet! Just wondering ❤

Aloha from Hawaii. I'm very new to your channel. I'm a Marine Corps veteran living the life in the Islands. First thank you for your awesome work representing my Nation. For now Aloha and long peaceful life.

You go to Texas for BBQ, you go to New York for Bagels, you go to Chicago for Pizza, you go to Lousianna for sea food, you go to Milwaukee for Beer, you go to LA for traffic and a contact high 😂

I have had BBQ from New England to Central California down to Texas. Each region has its own distinct spin on BBQ. Probably my favorite is dead stand smoked Mountain Mahogany brisket and ribs that comes out of the Central and Eastern Sierra Nevada. The key is "dead stand" and the hardwood is so difficult to obtain that you have to use a handsaw or a hatchet because it will eat the teeth off of a chain while smoking the oil. That ruins the quality by itself. I was lucky enough to have my own dead stand to try it out on a Texas sized Smoker Charcoal grill. The grass finished beef tastes like heaven and only a few places have it. Only one worthy of mention for ready to eat meats is in Bishop, California "Mahogany Smoked Meats" established in 1922. A dead stand of Curl Leaf Mountain Mahogany can be as old as 1,600 years. A truly ancient wood for an ancient human tradition.

"Ive eaten beans before". No you haven't.

18. From a Brasileiro living in the United States watching um homen Português reacting to an English couple eating BBQ in Texas. What a world!

Eighteen. I enjoy your videos. Speaking as a native Texan your views on BBQ are spot on. It is a craft and while I love BBQ sauce the meat should stand on its own, sauce is a crutch. 18.

Texas is the best place for Bar-B-Q! it’s an art for them.😊

Come to Texas, you will lose weight......from your wallet.

18. You are not alone. We are here with you. 😂😂😊

I live a half hour away from a Terry Blacks. It truly is as amazing as it looks.

Nothing beats western North Carolina style BB-Q

18...you crazy Portuguese guy! André! I love your videos! 100%! You crack me up and just make me smile. You make my day! Thank you! 😊😂 Though, this video made me so hungry!! Watching from Texas. And André, Texas loves you back. 🤠

18 Andre… but you’re still a crazy guy watching Texas BBQ in Portugal. But there is is nothing wrong with that. Think about this, we are all watching you.

when he said "my lunch today was a salad... can you imagine my pain" i felt that man. felt that. fuck a diet come eat your heart out in the USA. You should watch a video about the food from all the different cultures in California! Can't deny the beauty of Texas BBQ, but the diversity of food in cities like Los Angeles is the most beautiful part of the American Dream!

18 😊. From Arkansas, and a visit to Terry Blacks is a must when visiting family in Austin!

18! I ALWAYS watch until the end! I don"t eat meat, but like seeing people discover & enjoy new things

Here is the thing about bbq and pretty much anything else you can eat. Home cooked will always beat restaurant. Now before anyone gets angry let me explain. It does not matter what the type of food is let’s say burgers, a restaurant burger will never be as good as someone who knows how to cook, goes to the store, get fresh ingredients and cooks their homemade burger. The care and attention to detail that goes into making that meal will surpass anyone cooking for a large number of people. This philosophy cemented itself for me when I went to Italy for a few years. The room I rented from an Italian woman cooked for me real Italian food, yes I went to restaurants and tried all different places but that woman spent all day cooking her sauce and it was the absolute best Italian food I ever had. So if you want the best bbq you gotta find some good ole boy in Texas or wherever that loves cooking bbq and that will probably be the best bbq you ever have because it part of their culture and heritage. The care and detail they will put into it will not be matched, and this philosophy is further proved when you see small family owned and operated restaurants that cook homemade food that they themselves eat.

André, 18 minutes in and all yhe way to the end, I really enjoy your commentary, my friend. Cheers on this fine morning all the way from Atlanta, Georgia. 😎

You never want to definitively say what the best BBQ is. There are four major styles of BBQ Texas, Memphis, Kansas City and Carolina. You should never make up your mind on the best style but instead continue to compare all four for the rest of your life. The never ending debate will bring you gastronomic joy. Life, and BBQ, is not a problem to be solved. It is a process to relish. (hehe relish. See what I did there?)

The thing about Texas food is so many influences. We were Spanish colony with French colony next door. The natives had their own from which Tex Mex derived. Then around the time of Texas Independence a lot of German Catholics came here. They started with a Spanish land Grant. From N of Houston to San Antonio the Germans settled. They brought sausage. After them Poles Czechs and Slovaks came. This brought more types of sausage and pastries. So we have schnitzel evolving to Chicken Fried Steak and German and Mexican sausages mixing. The Spanish started the cattle ranches. Louisiana attracted French Caribbean people so we got a huge melting pot of cuisine there. Add 600 miles of coastline for seafood.

18 I learned how to cook brisket and ribs in Texas while I was stationed there. I now live in Vegas, when I smoke brisket here people fall in love with the taste of Texas.

18 😁😁. Really cool watching your videos. Found your channel a week or so ago when I was looking to see videos people had put up from the recent tornadoes we had around here. Your tornado reaction videos popped up, and I have loved getting to see that and all the other reaction videos like this one.

No rice in those beans. Just brisket and beans. 18 I live in Texas. Never been to Terry Blacks but I used to work at a small bbq restaurant in high school just outside Ft. Worth. They had some pretty darn good bbq. Unfortunately they closed a long time ago. I used to help cook beans and bbq sauce in the electric vat, rub the seasoning on the meat, make sides, etc. Ate my Dad's brisket until he passed in 2015 and still haven't found brisket to touch it yet. That ice cream is probably Blue Bell which is made here in Texas.

Leaving my “18”. I always watch your videos to the end. Great content and reaction!! Thank you!

As an American, your comments are hilarious

18 also my mom plans on moving to Texas by the beginning of next year, can't wait to force her to take me to Terry Blacks when i go to visit

18. I'm in Chicago and I smoke a turkey every year on my charcoal grill, you have to spatchcock the turkey (cut out the backbone and lay the turkey flat) and then it cooks a lot faster and it's not so dry. And it has this great smokey flavor.

I can think of 18 reasons that you absolutely ARE a crazy Portuguese guy on you tube.. ;) hehehehehe Outstanding work my friend.. :) I love at 23:00-ish her comment about not being able to stop eating it.. NOW you know why a lot of Americans are, shall we say, larger than normal heheheh :)

18 😊 from Tx. Most good cooks know how to cook turkey, otherwise people will refuse to eat it on Thanksgiving. BBQ restaurants better know otherwise their license will be revoked. 😉

18❤ for the record I am from Texas… I currently live in Texas… I had literally never heard of Terry Blacks until all of the reactors started eating there.😂 I think the closest location is like two hours from me .. It looks delicious, but I will not be making that drive .. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's not burnt. It is the smoke and the carmelization of the the meat and spices which turns it a black color. The meat never touches flames. These smokers are basically wood fired ovens (offset fire box) and they cook around 250-275F.

Our eldest son (will be 40 in the fall) is well known for his excellent BBQ, He has about 4 or 5 different BBQ's. He has been perfecting his technique since he was separated (I think that is the correct term?) from the Submarine Service in the US Navy. His next (& last) posting was at Pearl Harbor, in Hawahii. He progressed to using a smoker -- gift from his wonderful father-in-law. Has smoked many briskets since then -- almost 10 years ago. I don't eat meat anymore -- long story, but 1 day, I couldn"t even think about eating meat. Grew up poor -- the US version. Very seldom had meat growing up. So, our son finds a beautiful, large fresh salmon fillet. Prepares it -- he showed me how -- then smokes it. I've NEVER had better. Blessings, André.

Potato salad is a cold side dish made with cubed cooked potatoes with mayonnaise and yellow mustard and onions some people add other ingredients to it.

While Terry Blacks is one of the best in Texas, you need to be within driving distance of Austin to enjoy it. But thankfully, every city/town in Texas will have one or two BBQ restaurants and each one will have an experienced pitmaster that can produce food that will knock your socks off.

In the late 1980's, I'd travel to Texas 4 times a year for work. I stayed at the Crockett Hotel overlooking the Alamo in San Antonio, and had the absolute best fajitas in the world. I'd take a pitcher of Margaritas to the rooftop Jacuzzi after work and would enjoy my food and drink... I can't wait to go back!!!

I could listen to him talk all day!

Thank you for defending the honor of mac and cheese! 18

Andre, I'm a native Texan, we do the best BBQ beef. Other states do pork ribs & pork, but all Americans love their BBQ. Remember Texas is about the beef.😅

I haven't tried Terry Black's in Texas, but when I tried it a few years past, I was very very impressed with Rosedale's in Kansas City.
