Seattle Move Part 2! TEX MEX & All You Can Eat Korean BBQ

Good morning El Paso. I'm here because there's supposed to be this amazing amazing Tex-Mex restaurant So, let's go eat So this thing keeps saying it's right by the graveyard, what's so interesting about this graveyard? Well, it is the oldest graveyard in town, where Wester J. Harding is buried there, one of the famous wild, wild western gunslingers There's a lot of gunslingers over here. It's prairie hunting, right? Yes, yeah, at night everybody leaves the kitchen at the same time because of the things that started to go wrong Really? Absolutely. Oh my goodness. But it's one of those things that you don't believe it until you see it. You've seen something? Yes. There you go. So this restaurant has been around for almost a hundred years And it serves northern Chihuahuan Mexican food. This is the type of restaurants I love, you know. Keep it in the family, traditional recipes Absolutely amazing. Look at the size of this guacamole they brought me This looks so good, I kind of want to do like a face painting to it right now. So northern Chihuahuan food It's a lot of green chili paste, red chili paste, and for me whenever I hear the word chili, I get excited This thing is so smooth and silky. I'm pretty sure if I spread this all over my face, it's gonna reduce my wrinkles. Thank you Mexican combo Thank you. Thank you so much. It looks amazing I've got to go to Mexico. I mean this chicken enchilada, if it tastes this mind-blowing here I can't imagine going to Mexico and trying this Smoky, slightly sweet, roasted chili peppers. Man, that flavor when it touches your tongue, that's fireworks, man. Hello, baby Oh God, this is so great. You know why? Not only is this thing stuffed with beef, it's stuffed with beef and potatoes It's like a shepherd's pie taco. What I love about this dish is that you think you're done Exploring, you think you're done tasting, and then it's like some hidden food somewhere. It just gives you a nice surprise They really utilize the red and green chili And I know this is something that they do. They use that like a Jedi uses a lightsaber. Man, this chili relleno It's just perfectly stuffed. I mean they get these chilies and they told me from New Mexico Which is you know, that's where you go for chilies, and it's not spicy It's just really smoky, a little bit sweet. If you are ever in town, don't El Paso on this place That's the super old haunted graveyard. So I guess you could say the food here is to die for. Let's go to Phoenix Mexico right over the border right there Be there soon. Finally in Phoenix, so The original plan was to go to a barbecue place I've been trying to go to for a long time. Phoenix got like a couple of really good barbecue places But I think one of them is called Miss Little Barbecue I was trying to come here for that, but it's Saturday and it's closed tomorrow, and it closes at 4 o'clock today I'm gonna miss it again on this trip. We'll get there one day, but for now Going for some Thai food. Thai Long An I think that was the toughest leg of the drive because the sun, we're driving west, so the afternoon sun is just Shooting through the window. Eat now This Thai place looks pretty good. Go back to the hotel and tomorrow we're going to California. It looks like it's a lot of veggies What about Way too much lettuce. I don't even care, I'm so hungry right now Mian is a bit sweet. A little sweeter than I like. The noodles are good. Thai salad looks promising I think overall, the flavor is a little sweeter than I like But it is satisfying. Good morning, Phoenix. Looks hot even from the inside. It's pretty though. Surrounded by mountains Blue skies today. Finally heading into California today. Land of not super hot weather. Before we go, you're in Phoenix You're either eating barbecue or Mexican. I feel like Mexican still. Let's go get some more Mexican food This is it. Supposedly the best Mexican food in all of Phoenix. I'm so excited. This place looks Really really really good. You know how Spider-Man has a Spidey sense? I got a food sense and my food sense is saying it's gonna be awesome. Chips and salsa. Oh, there's a big batch of chips and salsa Oh my god, even the salsa is so good Great cilantro flavor. It's tomatoey. This salsa is incredible. I would buy this. Let's try this habanero thing Yeah, that's spicy. Not gonna hurt me. So this is guacamole with pineapples and jalapeno bacon inside the guacamole Who knew? Pineapple and guacamole. They should have met a long time ago. The hatchling chili pork covered in cheese. Slow roasted pork You gotta get this when you come here. Cheesy, melty, juicy pork. Drizzle some salsa on top including the habanero This is beyond good. So impressed. Everything so far. This is Leo. You're the owner. Are you the chef too? You're the chef? Yes. So what kind of food is this? Okay, this is a kind of style from Oaxaca, Mexico All the ingredients are fresh Tortillas are handmade and made to order. So it's nothing ahead of time. This is so good. So far everything I had is amazing Hope you enjoy it. And I'll be back. Yeah, thank you so much Leo. Yeah, thank you so much. Look at this. This is the wild mushroom enchilada. One bite of that makes you feel like you may never need meat again. Mushroom is so juicy and fresh. That rustic, earthy flavor just ah I don't think I'm able to stop eating that. Like this might be my most missed bite of food after I leave Phoenix. Oh my goodness, this is just one of the greatest bites of enchilada I'm not an expert on Mexican cuisine One of the best bites of enchilada I've ever had in my life. I want to cry right now. It's so good. Leo just made me some churro. Oh, these are beautiful Thank you so much That's gorgeous. Thank you for coming in. Oh, no, man. This is beautiful Like a custard inside the churro. Magical. I might fall asleep on the drive to LA but If this was my last meal and not trying to curse myself, knock on wood, this will be a meal to remember Such a good meal. LA So excited to get out of this heat Passing through LA and Feeling a little Korean barbecue. When I'm in LA is usually, well, I'm sorry, the greater LA area This is San Gabriel Valley. Whenever I'm here, I'm either eating Pho or Korean food. This Korean barbecue place All you can eat. Pretty good. I filmed here once. You want to check out the full review? Put it down below Don't get the dry steak. I don't think it's worth it, but the other barbecue Pretty nice. Hey, that's me That's my video So because of that video, the wait is now one hour An hour and a half Ah, life. Alright, gotta go somewhere else now. So yeah, couldn't get a seat. But there's another Korean barbecue around here. Looks pretty good But I do have, this is pretty cool news I am partnering with some people. We're kind of opening up a Korean barbecue together in Houston area. So that should be pretty fun So if I can't get into a Korean barbecue, I'll just go to Houston. Ukook Korean barbecue. This is another all-you-can-eat place. I wanted to try this last time. Guess we'll do it now Almost hit the door Well, they're on camera too, so I guess that's fair. Alright, so they have a buffet stand with sauces A little bit of side dishes Banchan, and I think you order the meat at the table So there's only one selection. Korean barbecue or you can do the short rib All-you-can-eat barbecue for $36.99 Wow, look at over, almost 40 items, 40 meat items here. That's pretty good. Thin sliced brisket, sliced beef Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. It's definitely less fancy than the TK place But they give you a ton of selections here I mean, this is almost 40 different types of meat if you get the premium menu. And the premium menu, honestly It's only $7 more than a regular menu. I mean it doesn't compare in terms of interior, but you get a lot of stuff I'll let you know how it is. My favorite. Brisket, thin sliced brisket Other difference is you cook for yourself, which I don't mind Although this is kind of sticking pretty hard My favorite cut of meat, any Korean barbecue. Thinly sliced brisket, slightly charred It can't be bad. A little sesame oil, a little salt and pepper It's all you need. I miss this, like I love eating in Texas and Phoenix and New Orleans, but I miss Asian food This is the beef Beef belly Love that. That is just a fatty mesh and I love it. Every single moment I think is in my mouth Everything I had so far, really really good. This is a great Korean barbecue place A lot of stuff. And they're actually checking on us, making sure we have enough meat. That's like so important Nothing more frustrating than going to Korean barbecue and running out of meat Spicy bulgogi is good. So far, everything's pretty good All right, that was pretty good I think the selection of meat is the biggest selection I've seen at a Korean barbecue Price not too bad for about 30 bucks if you don't want the short ribs, 36 if you do want it I didn't get the short ribs because I ate so much there at the Mexican place I didn't feel like it's worth. I mean, it's $6 for extra short ribs. That's not a bad deal. Really really good I mean the service also like I thought it was gonna be like eh, because there's so many people in there Services, they're on top of things. Now hotel and bed and then tomorrow Bay Area See you in the morning. Oh, actually, I want one more last thing. It's a matcha Hey look, it's the Leaning Tower of Matcha Sometimes you just don't want to know, sometimes you know it's just getting in the way It's good though. It's like, it's a matcha flow, basically matcha with I think water Not overly sweet, that's why I look for it. Okay, now I'm gonna eat this And go to bed See ya. So I come to my car and What the heck is this? Ew What in the world? Is this some sort of Bakersfield welcome? I don't know about That's just very disturbing Am I marked for something right now? About 40 minutes north of San Jose south of San Jose. Sorry I remember leaving on this road and it's just you get a lot of these little farms and little grocery stands They sell fresh everything fruits nuts. So garlic cashews looks amazing When I used to live here, one of my fondest memories would be driving to Monterey coming back and Getting some fresh Brussels sprouts. You have to eat vegetables sometimes. Really fresh good stuff Let's let's see where these garlic cashews are hiding. This is awesome. Chili lemon pistachios garlic pistachios Green jalapeño. I'm getting a bunch garlic cashews I love pistachios and those cashews. I love these little stores. You guys remember when I was leaving the last time from California I saw garlic ice cream Let's try this shall we Whoo, that is garlic. This is the type of ice cream you want to eat If you really want dessert, but you don't want to kiss your date goodnight There's your ice cream It's okay. It just tastes like vanilla ice cream, but just really strong garlic. I haven't ate at this foot place since About a year ago. Fuck him long probably One of the best foot places in the Bay Area and what's kind of crappy about California is that like there are a lot of restaurants that start closing at 2 30 or 3 o'clock and then it'll open till 5 or 5.30 So it's about 3 o'clock right now. It's one of the only places that's open This is the spot. I really like this Somewhere else because it's shrimp and beef. It's like double the meat. Look at how much food they give is massive Also got a bowl of pho Because I just want a bowl of pho, so this is mine Big pork chops Still so good. I feel like I need pho every other meal at least to be able to survive There's such a big bowl that they give you delicious and nostalgic One for the road They make the best cheese for really don't Come Oregon right now, so see them to Seattle four hours And I didn't get a place in the city Got a place in Britain Here it is home sweet home This is where I'm gonna be cooking cooking stuff filming cooking videos I got a counter specifically so I could do that. It's kind of cute little place, huh? my bedroom Connects to my bathroom washer and dryer. I couldn't find an apartment with a shower stall. I hate bathtubs I love shower stalls But this is it home sweet home for at least the next year. This will be Closer to Asia, I'm happy closer to Asia. I'm closer to the West Coast spending more time in LA this year I'm gonna spend more time in Vegas filming Hawaii. I really decided it's hot. I'm getting goose bumps right now Goose bumps. Sorry goose bumps, but Anyway, I got a lot of stuff to move in See in a bit of all the stuff that came the bed did not come so I have to go get an air mattress from Target be sleeping on that for the next couple of days. I'm happy to be here. I really am really happy to be here I'm glad I'm done driving. That's That was tedious. I can't wait to start cooking We're gonna have fun my first magnets on the fridge Now I feel like it's home. Let's go to dinner Spice City, there are actually a ton of great little restaurants near my house We're gonna try them all one day this place supposed to be the authentic Sichuan food some of you guys may not like this, but Man I love myself a little chicken feet pickle chicken feet doesn't sound like the most appetizing thing It's an acquired taste and I have darn well acquired a taste Fishy No, it's really really good compound chicken. That looks good Spicy beef. This is a good meal Welcome to Seattle. I'm sorry, Redmond greater Seattle area. Welcome to my new home to me totally forgot I got this dish cabbage hand-torn cabbage with pork Eat your veggies people. I mean I do it with bacon, but whatever works, right? bacon After San Francisco, I haven't had any Asian food yet This is everything I crave after this Go home start putting up furniture go to bed Guys thank y'all so much for joining me on this awesome cross-country road trip and as much as I love it I'm hoping this is the last time we go on that road trip, you know It's pretty long
