An Italian Tries Tennessee BBQ

Barbecue! So in Nashville, Tennessee there are two good barbecues, right Amora? Yes. So it is Aldi's. Good job, Adli's. Adli's and Martin's, okay. But we're gonna try this one because I think the owner, something like that, he found a way to bring the brisket like Texas. No way. Yeah, I don't know. Well, let's see. That's it. You're ready to eat barbecue? Oh, I'm always ready. So you never eat barbecue here? Adli, no. No. I'm interested to see because it does have quite a reputation for being great. Today we eat barbecue. I'm so happy. These are your favorite days when we go film food, child. Today is my favorite day because barbecue never disappoints me. I mean, maybe your audience disappoint me a little bit, but not Tennessee, right Amora? Right. Because you're from Tennessee. And we're the best. And you are the best. That's true. This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. Okay. I don't know how to film all this barbecue, guys. You see this? I'm like shocked by the presentations. 100 out of 10. I need to take a picture immediately. So this is banana pudding. They list it on the sides, not on the dessert. This is America. Then coleslaw. Yeah. Macaroni and cheese. Obviously. And baked beans. Obviously. Yeah. And then we have pork, right? Pork. Then we have St. Louis style ribs. Beef brisket for 10 plus hours. This cornbread looks amazing. And then we got wings. Yeah. So looks different cornbread, right? It looks toasted one side. It looks like honestly like cake. Looks cake. And then they have peppers or jalapenos. I don't know. Something spicy maybe. Okay. So let's dig in. Dig in. Last evaluation, the pork. The pork, it is one of the best I ate for now. One of the best or the best? I don't want to compare. I don't yet go to Texas. Well, this is Tennessee barbecue. Okay. From Tennessee with pulled pork. This is our thing. Okay. Okay. You're not going to get pulled pork better in Texas. You might get brisket better in Texas. This is fantastic. I'm going to add some sauce. It's really like spaghetti. That's how we do it. What is it? This is amazing. This might be my best pulled pork. Yeah. Because it's spicy. What sauce do you put? I think I got hot sauce. It's okay. Because it's still really good. But man, my eyes are watering. Yeah. Thank goodness I just put a little bit. This is the best pulled pork. And it's going to take a lot to top that. Yeah. And by the way, there's no way Texas can top this. This is brisket. That's the brisket. Okay. Look how this is made. Beautiful. My God. That's the best brisket you've ever had so far? Right now, yeah. Okay. This is when you say I haven't been to Texas yet. I'm sorry. Texas cannot beat this one. Oh, but you're going to get so many people mad in the comments. Well, it's impossible. How are you going to be good for the day? I don't know. We'll have to go and try it. There's a war between states about what really is barbecue. Is it beef brisket or is it pulled pork? I've always, growing up in Tennessee, thought it was pulled pork. But let's see if this changes my mind. It's so flavoring. It's so smoky. I didn't hit it at first, but then it develops. This is fantastic. Okay. Can't beat this, Texas? How you can go like that? I don't know. I'm going to be really surprised. We need to get down to Texas. Yeah, but it's impossible. I don't know. No, it's impossible. It's so good. It's impossible. So people say, what is the best between this? What is the real barbecue? I mean, I'm still a pulled pork girl through and through, but I will definitely tear into some beef brisket. I'm not going to say no. I go digging with the cornbread. Yeah, I need you to see the cornbread. I was thinking it was thick. Instead, it's so smooth. It's like melting in your mouth. Surprising, because if you eat this, it looks like, oh, it's going to be pickles. Who put pickles? Oh, pickles are the best with barbecue. By the way, I believe this is a really good cornbread. Like, it's a 10 out of 10. It looks like a piece of pound cake. Yeah. Like this would be dessert or something. Yeah. Okay. It's melty, right? What the heck? It looks like it would be so thick and like beefy, but when you bite it, the butteriness just dissolves. And then it's not spicy. It looks like it would be because it has the little peppers, but it's not spicy. My interest is this, because this is that when you pull, it is not coming. It's not falling off the bone. Not falling off the bone, because this is what style? St. Louis ribs. They're meatier. We just know if it tastes good. Oh, my God. It could be this the best barbecue I never had in my history. If it is, I'm proud of Tennessee. Amore. I want to say wow to the people. I want to shake their hand, because wow. I'm so surprised. This looks amazing. It is the best barbecue we've never been. Oh, my gosh. Yes. How you can beat Texas? How can better it is? I'm sorry. Usually a rib is not going to be like my number one on the plate. This is number one. That might be my number one on the plate. Yeah. I'm in shock. That's incredible. It's incredible. I've never eaten a rib so good. No. This is coleslaw. Never had it. I don't know what it is. It's like cabbage, maybe some carrots, some onions, some vinegar. This is the great side for barbecue. Yeah. It cuts the barbecue flavor. This looks really refreshing. Yeah. That is really good, right? This is the thing to pair with the meat. Exactly. It is so good. Exactly. And it's a vinegar-based coleslaw, which usually people like. I think it's the mayonnaise one. But this is better. The vinegar is better. Maybe we are Italians. That's why. I'm curious for the macaroni and cheese. Do you know why? Why? All the barbecues macaroni and cheese was disappointing. And macaroni and cheese has to be in the barbecue. It's important. It's really important. So this is a test. You can see. It looks creamier than our other. Looks creamy. Let's see if it's creamy. And you don't see cheese coming down. So do you think it's... I don't know. Oh, there we go. You see it? Yes. That was creaminess. So I love it. The pasta is super good. I'm... Well, I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. But for Americans, they're gonna love this thing. I don't like the super overcooked pasta. The cheese is really good. But I believe they need to be left overcooked. The macaroni and cheese. What do we think? You love it. I love it. I don't like the squeeze. I see what you're saying about the noodles, but I... I think they're missing. Then you... I'm more critical than you. Who's more critical about macaroni and cheese than I am? It's my favorite food. And I say this is a 10 out of 10. Maybe it's a 9.5. Ah, you see? It's starting to come down. It's starting to come down. Oh, different baked beans ever. They look different. They are more liquidy. Um, I don't know. It almost looks like a stew. Like a stew. They are good, but I don't think it's my spicy. I don't think it's my favorite. Yeah. I would go with the salad. Try your other side. Banana pudding? Yeah. This is a great banana pudding. 10 out of 10. Wow. It's a great dessert. It's a side. But it's a dessert. It's a side. It's a side. It's not a side. It's a side. It's not a side. Here it's a side. You take a bite of cornbread, a bite of bread, and a bite of banana pudding all at the same time. Let's see. I don't know what she's talking about. What do you think? There's something in this that's like different. The flavor that I get. But it doesn't give you the happiness in the brain. Why does it kind of taste like beer? I don't know. I don't think it gives you the happiness in the brain. It's not the best. Yeah. I'll be honest. But I'll still eat it. The moment of truth. Look at that piece of banana right there. Yeah. It is a great banana pudding. Okay, shoot. That might be better than mine. It might be better than mine. Yeah. I'm thankful for not saying that earlier, but that's really good. It's really good. Let me try a wing. There's this white barbecue sauce on it. I think you're gonna like it. Fantastic. Fantastic wings. The wings, or you love it, or you hate it. In my opinion, if you hate it and you try this, you're gonna love it. Let me see you. Eat up. Let me bite it. Let me see you, Amore. We have good barbecue. What do you think? I told you. Some people hate it or love it. No, this is amazing. You can't hate this. You can't hate it. This sauce, my sauce. I was curious to get it, but it's delicious. Yeah, it's so delicious. So about the meat, it is the best panaca we've ever had. Currently, this is our top winner. Top winner for barbecue. It's amazing. Yeah, I just need to say this is the best side for me. I don't, I'm not convinced about it. I'm gonna go with this is the best side. These are tied for me and then this will be last. Yeah. It's not barbecue if you don't make a little sandwich. So we're gonna start with a base. Macaroni on cornbread. Topped with some pulled pork. And obviously, pickles. It's really, really hard to beat this barbecue. So I'm curious to know when I'm gonna go in Texas and other places because some people said Wisconsin, right? What? Oh, maybe not Wisconsin. I think North Carolina was trying to get in the mix. Some people said it is better places and everybody is different barbecue. But, ragazzi, how you can beat this? You can't. If you never try it for you, it's gonna be hard to understand. Maybe it's hard for me to understand what is gonna be Texas, but it's impossible to do this. Really, the flavor and the... I think if Texas is better, your brain is going to like shut down. I'm gonna shut down. I'm gonna shut down. If Texas beat this, I'm gonna shut down. If it's gonna be tight, it's what I'm gonna expect. So right now, Tennessee is the best barbecue in the U.S. It's impossible to beat. Not just that. Impossible to beat.
