Welcome to Dallas, a city packed with amazing and unexpected foods. Today we're facing our
0:05
most challenging food tour video to date because you know what they say, everything is bigger in
0:11
Texas. We're already at our first stop, it's time for some barbecue y'all
0:18
Well this right here is breakfast. Obviously we could not have barbecue when we're in Texas
0:23
and this is kind of like the north central Texas style barbecue. The signature dish is
0:27
This brisket right here. You can't come to a Texas barbecue and not get brisket. So this is the first thing I'm gonna try
0:33
And dip in the spicy barbecue sauce Breakfast of champions So Texas barbecue is characterized by very smoky flavors and a lot of like slow cooking
0:47
So the cut of meat that brisket is is usually like pretty like stringy and dense, but they slow cook it with the smoker
0:53
It's delicious. It's just like melt in your mouth This sausage is amazing
0:57
This is another thing that you have to order when you come to Texas barbecue
1:01
Back in the day, there were a lot of German and Czech immigrants that came to this part of Texas, and they brought the sausage-making traditions
1:06
This one has some Tex-Mex flair to it, so it has a jalapeno and cheddar
1:10
and it's just delicious smoky goodness. It's nice and crispy on the outside. It's perfect
1:14
This is the best breakfast ever. I'm trying fried pickles for the first time ever
1:22
I didn't even know this was a thing. Like I just saw it on the menu for the first time. Why would they work with Fry Figgles? I don't know. Southern US I guess. Let's see
1:41
That's so strange, but it's so good. They're like salty and like crunchy and whatever the sauce is. It's incredible
1:49
Oh, I'm a fan of this. Southern US. It's so good. It is just so smoky and soft and flavorful and the barbecue sauce is incredible
2:31
They also have like spicy barbecue sauce that it is amazing too. I love this place
2:36
I don know how we going to continue with the food tour Also I apologize for the music It very loud in here There nice bunch of music so
2:47
And of course, we had to order another one of our favorites. These are smoked barbecue beans and it is a must
2:53
We love them so much. We always order these whenever we have barbecue. Let's see how these are
3:02
Another dance working. I don't know if we mentioned where we are
3:06
Faeries Wheelers in Dallas. 10 out of 10. You have to come here
3:18
My God. Texas. It took every ounce of our willpower not to finish all of this
3:29
but we're going to make someone very happy with this Texas barbecue
3:35
Look at these ribs. Look at this! We've never seen one of these before
3:41
Look at this! A robot! Delivery! Look at it go! He like knew the light! That's wild
3:48
We need to go after him. What a modern city, Dallas! Go, little robot! That's awesome. That's crazy
4:01
Next stop, soul food. And this is why we could not keep eating barbecue
4:07
We're at this place called Bava's and they just serve like southern soul food
4:12
And it's decorated like a retro diner. It is really cool, but it smells like fried chicken
4:18
Everyone's having fried chicken. The floor has oil from all the fried chicken
4:23
It's crazy. But we ordered chicken fried steak with gravy and fried okra
4:28
And it comes with a little piece of bread. And chicken dumplings, which I had no idea
4:33
that we were gonna try today. I had no idea this existed here
4:37
So even though I'm from the southern part of the US, I can honestly say that I have never tried
4:40
chicken and dumplings before. I didn't know it was a thing. But it looks like it's like a roasted chicken breast
4:46
kind of like pulled and shredded. And I think the dumplings are like cornbread
4:50
just soaked in this white country gravy. So it's not like the Asian style dumplings that we're most familiar with
4:55
Let's try it out. My first time trying soul food. The chicken's pretty tender
5:06
I taste like Thanksgiving in a bite with like the white country gravy. I think it's like chicken stock based
5:13
I think these dumplings are just like fill the gut. It's like pretty hearty, pretty heavy
5:17
Definitely kind of like a winter food. I wouldn say it as good as barbecue I have to whisper that around here But it pretty good This is your soul My soul feels good It time for dish number two We have the chicken fried steak
5:31
It's just loaded up with that country gravy. Another thing, fun fact, I've never had before
5:38
So this dish definitely has more of a kick than the chicken dumplings. I think the gravy has more pepper in it
5:43
and the breading on the outside is the same breading they use for fried chicken. So it also has a little bit more of like a spice blend
5:48
I think. and the cut on the inside, I think it's not like a very great cut of beef
5:52
but they like tenderize it. So it's very easy to chew, goes down easy. We also have fried okra
5:57
another thing that I've never had before. I think it's kind of like a giant bean originally from Africa
6:02
So a lot of soul food has like African origins. Let's try the fried okra
6:10
It's pretty good too. We have some more leftovers. I think we're gonna smell like fried chicken for days
6:16
but now we need to walk off the last two meals because they were intense
6:19
And the next stop is the Texas size dessert. So we're gonna go to this place called Hypnotic Donuts
6:31
because they have a donut that was rated by BuzzFeed, like one of the donuts that you have to try before you die
6:36
It's called the Elvis in case you're curious. However, they close at noon
6:40
So we get to another spot, it's called the Salty. We're committed to donuts
6:44
And this was also like my friend's like wrecking. so they should still be delicious
6:51
This is still a pretty massive donut. It's very heavy and this is supposed to be one of the best places in town to have donuts
6:57
so it should be pretty good. I got the pumpkin spice french toast donut and that is delicious
7:07
Look at this beauty. Cookies and cream donut
7:27
There's chocolate chips on the inside. We forgot to mention that we are in the Bishop Arts neighborhood
7:33
That's where the donut place is. And we were here yesterday and we made a video about Dallas and the neighborhoods
7:37
But the reason I'm mentioning this is because we had the best tacos we've had outside of Mexico
7:43
So if you want to watch that video, I'm going to link that here because you have to check out that place
7:47
But right now we're heading to our last stop of the day and we're having a type of food that you would not expect to see in Texas
7:53
At least we didn't. nac go Yeah first I have a question
8:17
What's the difference between the boku and the pho? Okay, so this one is beef stew
8:23
So the beef stew is the meat cooked in the oven for like hours
8:28
So the meat will be soft. But this one's not. Oh, this is like cooked in the soup
8:32
Yep. Okay. Um, I'll do the pho with the Thai, the round eye, the medium, the... yeah
8:40
So a lot of people probably don't know this, but Texas is home for the second largest Vietnamese population in the US after California
8:47
And I just had some spicy peppers. All I did was get my chopstick in here
8:58
Something spicy. Okay, ready. So a lot of people probably don't know this but Texas is home to the second largest Vietnamese population in the US after California
9:10
So we drove 20 minutes north to an area called Garland where a lot of the Vietnamese community and population hang out
9:16
There's tons of like local Vietnamese restaurants that have delicious delicious dishes all very traditional
9:21
And I think what's nice about this too, it's not like super artery-clogging like the other things that we had earlier in the day
9:25
So we have some green vegetables and spicy pho. So exactly what we need for the change of pace. I'm gonna dig in. It's probably boiling hot so start with the noodles
9:44
That is delicious pho. The ingredients are like so fresh. There's like fresh basil in there
9:48
These little things which I never know what they are the beef broth Also like they have these thin slices of steak that get cooked inside the soup and just like a very nice like fresh
9:58
dish very different from what we had this morning I really appreciate it and I
10:03
order a very simple bernicelli dish with chicken and vegetables I am so happy to
10:08
see some greens on my plate I'm very proud of us and happy that we survived
