One Day in Savannah, Georgia | Exploring the city, ice cream, & unique food

Melt in your mouth. Oh, it's so good When you last saw us we were in st Augustine, Florida, and we said that we were gonna head up to Asheville, North Carolina Which is a bit of a detour, but we had a crazy opportunity that we couldn't pass up so we booked it up there So the reason we went to Asheville is because we met up with a video crew To shoot a video with Mercedes-Benz in Inc. So we spent a whole day Filming all around town and the mountains it was snowing and oh man We talked about why we chose a sprinter why we chose van life And it was just like the craziest most surreal day of our lives So we're not sure when it's gonna come out But from what we know it's gonna be released online and when it comes out we will let you know So after the shoot we headed back down south to Savannah, Georgia, which is a city We've always wanted to visit and we've been here most of the week So we've been exploring a tiny bit But today we're gonna see as much of the city as we possibly can and of course eat some really good food We are kicking off our morning at Forsyth Park, which is what I think of when I think of Savannah I've just seen photos of this place for years And it's just so exciting to finally be here and I can't say it is just as beautiful as it looks online So the park has this beautiful fountain that's kind of like the main focal point tons of grass all around it Apparently there's a market on Saturdays, but we're a little early for that So we will not get to do that today in my favorite part of this whole park though are the trees Oh my gosh, they're beautiful. Yeah driving around town all week It's like the number one thing that sticks out to me at least and it's just so they're so huge The Spanish moss hanging off of them so cool And then also they kind of hang over the street and you're kind of driving through like tree tunnels all over town It's kind of cool and it kind of reminds me of my hometown growing up. So it's fun Oh, man, it's been very beautiful. Just driving around all week We came to the spot called perk to grab some coffee and we actually came here the other day and worked for a little bit And just loved it so much. We had to come back and what's really neat about this space Is that as you may might see behind me? It's like their whole their whole facilities in here So they have a coffee shop at the front and in the back. It's like their office where they roast the coffee So you're just really like in the whole process when you come in here and we really like that We like seeing where people roast their coffee and getting to watch them do that. And so today we got This drink called the tongue torture, which sounds really fun. And basically it's just espresso milk It's just like a latte and it has vanilla and then habanero sugar and it just sounded very interesting I'm gonna get my tongue torched That's really good has a little bit of a kick but it's not too bad where you can't enjoy it It's there. It's there a little bit. Oh, yeah Feel it feel it right here the back of my tongue. I'm being torched Yeah Really sweet not overly sweet though. Oh, yeah, you speak you taste the spice a little bit in the back of your throat It's really good. Great coffee flavor Yeah, our second drink I got a Guinness, I mean nitro cold brew but it looks like it Delicious we typically don't drink our coffee black like if we get an iced coffee, we add some cream to it we put cream in our hot coffee, but Nitro cold brews if you've never tried them are just so smooth and they have this fun little like kind of foam layer on the Top so they're they're really fun to look at and they're fun to drink So fun fact for you Savannah is actually the oldest city in Georgia and today we are completing the Georgia trifecta So the three most visited cities in Georgia are Savannah Helen and Atlanta So we have a vlog from Atlanta and Helen So you should go back check those out and see what we got up to and today we're here in Savannah So hitting up the third one and we are on the street called River Street right now Which is kind of the touristy area and the more historic downtown area. It's right on the water. It's really beautiful There are tons of old buildings and there's cobblestone streets, which I keep tripping on. So be careful. They're very dangerous Yeah, oh I tripped on the steps earlier too, so yeah, this place is dangerous But it's very beautiful and we're just gonna kind of wander around and see what we can find and we found pralines So a praline is a pecan, cream, sugar and butter So basically all of the best things in life and we're at a place called Savannah candy kitchen I think which is right on River Street and they they were just calling to us. So the store is super cool It seems like it takes up the whole corner. There's like three different entrances, but you can walk in They have a ton of candy in there probably anything you want chocolate to fruity stuff, whatever But as you walk in there's a guy Making these pralines and he's scooping it out and they're like just setting up right there and he'll give you samples and all that stuff It's I'm excited to try my mouth. It's starting to water Don't lose any crumbs Yeah Super sugary, but What do you think It's so good. It kind of just dissolves in your mouth a bit and it has a very like Caramel-y kind of taste to it. I like oh man. I don't know how to describe it. It's crunchy. It's soft It dissolves you buy it by the pound and so I think we're gonna have to go get a pound of it It's kind of like it's almost kind of like a softer toffee Yeah, sort of no the kind that doesn't get stuck in your teeth, which I can appreciate melt in your mouth We were in desperate need of some real food So we came to the spot called trailer park and they have an indoor area and an outdoor area the indoor area was jam-packed So we're out in their little beer garden area and it's tiny little outdoor patio, but it's not too cold of the day So it's pretty bearable and the vibes pretty cool and you guys we got some crazy cool food here Is known for kind of having some more unique twists on southern food and we cannot wait to show you what we got So the first thing we got was shrimp and grits tacos shrimp and grits is a classic southern dish So we got them in the form of tacos. So there's crispy shrimp on there. They fry bits of grits There's a chimichurri and aioli some lettuce red peppers and then you guys spray the lime on tacos That's so good The shrimp isn't as crispy as I'd like But they're big and juicy and good. The sauces are awesome. I don't know if I got a bit of the Okay, here's the grits. I'm just gonna try that so I can Got our PB&J wings. Yes peanut butter and jelly wings. I need to like roll up my sleeves for these guys So They have a pecan and peanut butter sauce on them and then there's this peach Jam, it looks more like a peach sauce. It's not it's super liquidy looking that you dip them in As soon as I saw this was on the menu. I knew we had to come here Wings are not Wings are not attractive to eat on the vlog. So I'm very sorry It sounds like such a weird combination, but it's so Good. I don't know if any of y'all have ever had peanut butter on a burger That also sounds weird, but it's surprisingly very good And as soon as you put the wing up to your mouth, you can smell the peanut butter It just overpowers your nose and then I didn't really fully taste this. Oh That's really good Yeah, maybe I didn't coat it enough but oh man the saltiness of the peanut butter on the wings It just works perfectly even though it sounds like it would be a weird combination I'm really excited for these. I freaking love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and chicken The wings are fried crispy and then that sauce is like so Sticky and creamy and and then this is cool nice and cool with it It's a cool combo cuz yeah when you make a PB&J sandwich, the jelly usually comes out of the fridge. So it's cold, too This is awesome The sweet and salty combination So one thing you'll notice in Savannah is that there are tons of squares all around the city if you look at the map It's like square square square square square square square and this one that we're in right now is probably the most famous It's called Chippewa I think is how you say it square and it's famous because it was in the movie Forrest Gump and there used to be a bench the Forrest Gump bench that was in the square But they've since moved it to a museum So I think we found the spot where it was and I just kind of popped a squat But we're not really sure if it was the exact spot or not. I said it got busy here. They weren't lying We came to Leopold's ice cream and everywhere that I read everyone that I talked to said we had to come here It's kind of like an old-school ice cream parlor. They wear like the cool paper hats It's kind of retro in here And I got so all their ice cream has egg in it except a couple of the vegan flavors and sorbets and I can't have eggs So I got the vegan vanilla and then since that was kind of boring I decided to spice it up a bit. So I got hot fudge caramel sauce pecans and whipped cream and holy crap This thing is huge and it's so it was like it's falling apart you can see like some of it fell and I whipped cream on the table that fell because it was just like the leaning tower of ice cream sundae, but The vegan vanilla is really good. It's homemade whipped cream. I love whipped cream, especially if it's homemade It's delicious and I can't even get all the goodies because I'm afraid it's gonna fall over but what I have tried is very good After Catherine describing hers mine looks kind of boring, but this is two scoops. They don't skimp on the scoops So I got the German chocolate, which is a special flavor of the month and this bottom one is a chocolate chewy Something but it's a vanilla ice cream base with chocolate chip cookies I think inside I'm really excited for that one. And then of course you got to get whipped cream on top Can't know don't spill a drop The German chocolate has I don't know. Is it caramel? There's like gooey stuff in there. Pecans. You get a little flecks of Coconut. It's so good I'm struggling so bad. This is so sweet And I always finish my dessert, but I don't think I can do it today. It was so much It was more like three or four scoops. I think Adams gonna have to finish it for me I don't know. That's a tall test I'm gonna be able to do it all but I'll give it a shot. No man left behind So Savannah is said to be one of the most haunted cities in the United States You can come here and you can go on several ghost tours all around town There's many cemeteries that you can visit and we are at the most famous cemetery in Savannah Bonaventure Cemetery And the cemetery is the most famous because there was a movie filmed here called midnight in the garden of good and evil We have yet we have yet to ever see the movie or read the book So we had to cheat a little bit But a lot of people will come on tours to the cemetery to learn about the cemetery I think see sights from the movie check out specific graves. So we hear that's the best way to see the cemetery They also have an app you can pay for which is GPS based and it'll guide you through the cemetery and tell you things along The way but we spent too much money on ice cream so we were doing the free version and we're just walking around and she told us what area to go to and it feels a little weird to be honest to like Be at a cemetery for fun, but it was one of the top rated things to do on TripAdvisor. So here we are So we didn't do this cemetery any justice by not going on a tour and learning all about it But it was still beautiful to come and walk around. That's kind of the theme of our days We didn't really have like any big plans here in Savannah We just wanted to walk around and see the city and we had a blast doing so It's just proof that you don't always have to do something like crazy and big to enjoy a place and sometimes the best way to See it is just to put on some shoes and just go for a stroll So we love seeing all of the squares and all the beautiful buildings it is just a gorgeous city So if you have not been to Savannah, we highly recommend checking it out So now we are leaving Savannah and we are heading north up to Charleston And let's just say we're gonna need to clear a little space in our stomach So after the shoot in Asheville, we headed back down south to where are we? Oh So after the shoot we headed back down south to I keep wanting to say South Carolina, I don't know where we are Savannah accent which is more like molasses just sort of spilling out of your mouth
