hey guys this is Mike chin in this video
I am in Atlanta Georgia eating the best
Smash Burger I have ever had at a gas
station and then went for some amazing
Popeyes never seen a restaurant like
this before finally some pizza with an
Indian twist all these places I went to
in this video I would highly highly
recommend and before get into that I
just want to give a big thank you and
shout out to the sponsor of this video
cook Unity if you don't know cook Unity
is the first chef consumer platform
where freshly prepared pre-selected
meals are delivered to your door every
single week never seen anything like
this before this is really the most
convenient way to get such a wide
variety of restaurant quality food from
award-winning chefs without actually
having to go to our restaurant and they
definitely have a roster of Allstar
chefs from food and network alums to
James Beard War winners like some of my
favorites I love the adobo short ribs
from Andre Mendes that short rib will
melt in your mouth also the Bogi Beba
from EST Choy that I'm eating
tonight oh that's so good I've been
eating cooking NY for the last couple
weeks by far my favorites also for
something light and refreshing and
absolutely satisfying the Chipotle maple
glazed salmon from Chef Ruben Garcia
that thing absolutely just falls apart
another reason these meals taste so good
it all starts with the ingredients cun
chefs use humanely raised meat and
ingredients whenever possible also fresh
seasonal products to just maximize
flavor and nutrition I mean these are
real chefs making these meals in small
batches in Regional micro kitchens
located around the country nothing is
mass-produced then the meals are chilled
sent right your door fresh never Frozen
and my favorite part everything takes
about 2 to 3 minutes to heat up cuz when
you're hungry you want to eat right away
I mean I love Korean food I love biin B
and Chef Troy one of the best in the
business for creating traditional Korean
food with modern twist made where I used
to live in Brooklyn New York this is
actually really really exciting a lot of
these chefs I've been a fan of for a
long long time like Jose gares Mark

crispy Edge oh I did not know that also
when you smash it it'll come off the
ground oh yeah you don't want it to come
off cuz you want the sear you want it to

what it takes here there you go I don't
know I did origami as a kid so this is
the best I could do right now all right
I'm going to go try this all right
thanks so much Billy all right thanks I
think the toughest part about making the
Smash Burger was the anticipation I mean
this thing looks
glorious beautiful smashed up patties
that just gives a little bit of a little
skirt on the outer
edges this is freaking incredible one
bite in the flavor just keeps coming and
coming and coming I am
absolutely head over heels in love with
this
burger first thing you taste when that
burger goes in your mouth is that
picture perfect sear the slight crunch
of the outer shelves of the Patty
Blended in perfect harmony with the
seasoning that seasoning is out of this
world I'm still feeling the tingle on my
tongue from the seasoning I thought I
might have been overdoing it on the
seasoning M every single bite it's just
a perfect amount it's some of the best
seasoning I've ever had on a burger and
then this sauce The Sassy sauce it's
citrusy with a little Wasabi is
kick and then to compliment the most
perfect smashed burger patties gooey
cheese now that crunchy refreshing bite
of pickle this burger is pretty much
instant food addiction one bite and
you're already thinking about your
second Burger everything about this is
picture perfect from the texture the
sear the lean to Fat racial the
seasoning the sauce the pickles the soft
pillowy bun
everything and when you do take a bite
of this all those ingredients mingle
together it's just a melt in your mouth
a beefy Uber cheesy spicy flavorful bite
of a burger I would travel for this
burger and you should too I wish all
food in the gas station could be this
freaking good this is actually one of
the best burgers I've had in this
country also they serve Belgian waffles
here burgers and Waffles why
not doughy toasty with a splash of
sriracha syrup these are actually really
fantastic
waffles this food day is off to a
marvelous start let's keep going
this looks really cool doodle
pies where you can design your own pie
so what's really cool about this place
is that you can get a freshly made pie
and this pie is made right in front of
you and it's cooked up in 6 minutes and
what you can do is you can basically add
whatever you want into your pie or go
for one of their signatures I think I'm
going to De all that and also this is
what's so cool about this place it's
pretty much in all you can stuff pie
shop you can choose from all the Savory
sweet toppings as much as you want any
topping you want just stuff it into the
pie they'll put anything and everything
in there this is going to be
[Music]
fun this is so exciting Each pie is a
personal size and I'll tell you guys
pies are my weakness I love sweet pies I
love savory pies and this brisket pie
with mashed potato and gravy on top
looks and smells ridiculous also crust
gravy brisket all homemade peas and
carrots inside and this whole thing put
together and cooked in about 6 minutes
oh smells so
incredible are you kidding me with this
this is a make your heart skip a beat
type of pie beautiful Golden Crust on
top flaky and buttery the brisket melts
in your mouth everybody you get some
crunch from the peas and carrots
beautiful soft texture from the potatoes
and the gravy just ties it all
together this thing is piping hot it's
so deliciously satisfying the crust is
absolutely
phenomenal oh my gosh that crust is one
of the highlights of this dish just look
at how flaky this thing is beautiful
buttery flavor and it just just goes so
well with all that savory feeling
everything about this is just solid a
plus every element is perfect so when
you combine it together and put in your
mouth the flavor just sinks you give me
some hot sauce put on this as
well this is just the greatest thing
also they mentioned that I have to try
they make Kisha here just like
everything else baked fresh oh just look
how perfect this crust is they really
order out a fantastic system with the
crust in the oven and the B time I mean
just look at all the layers of this
crust even before this goes in my mouth
I can tell how buttery this
is without a doubt this is the best C I
ever had and I know this is the best C
I've ever had because I usually don't
like kiche sometimes I'll order it
because there's not much on the menu
this is mind blowingly good again the
crust is so flaky it tastes like a light
fluffy croissant on the outside egg soft
and delicate and the just like the
pies you can add whatever you want in
there so I opted for some bacon some
sundried tomatoes and a ton of
cheese this is just absolute perfection
the flavor the texture everything is so
spot on that's some hot
sauce hot sauce gives it a little kick
cuts into the richness a little bit I
couldn't get over how perfect that crust
is this is the most buttery flaky crust
I've ever seen on aich I'm so glad I got
this best kiche you'll ever have in your
life right here everything is just so
good also what I love about this concept
you're getting a whole PT so you're
getting all that great crusty Edge in
every single
bite those two sey prizes went down so
easy now I got to try the sweet
[Music]
ones
for the sweet ones I got rocky rolled
Peach satisfaction and PB&J two Alam
mold one with whipped cream on top so
the rocky rad has brownie bites
marshmallows walnuts and covered in
caramel sauce of course some ice cream
on this as
well
if there is a bite of sweet Heaven this
might be it this just takes my breath
away it tastes pretty much like the most
ridiculous chocy lava cake under that
signature flaky crushed it's gooey from
the chocolate and the marshmallows got
the crunch from the walnuts all that
combined with the melty ice cream it's
like the most perfect pie met the most
perfect lava cake it had a bunch of
marshmallow babies it was absolutely
incredible next up peachy satisfaction I
love it when the ice cream melts into
the pie a little bit giant chunks of
peach with white chocolates and woolnut
of course had to get this since I'm in
Georgia come on these pies here they're
going to make you feel things very happy
good things it all starts again with
that perfect crust and the peaches just
tastes different here sweeter with a
little bit of tar everybody going to get
some crunchy walnuts pies here just get
better and better PB&J this is really
interesting so strawberry filling with
peanut butter and
marshmallows wow oh this is crazy good
this is so good I start troling after
taking my first bite if you are a fan of
peanut butter and jelly you will
absolutely adore this it's exactly like
a peanut butter and strawberry jelly
sandwich in a pie and it's better than a
sandwich because the peanut butter and
jili is hot it's inside this perfectly
toasty buttery crust this is like a
normal peanut butter and jelly sandwich
times a million I mean it's decadent
that is so good this place 10 out of 10
wow what a fun concept put whatever you
want into a pie main thing is everything
tastes ridiculously delicious the pies
are just exactly what you think a pie
should taste like flaky crusty buttery
this is about as perfect of a pie as you
can find anywhere and like I said it's
small so you know it's not like you're
getting a slice of pie you're getting a
little mini pie so there's toasty crusty
edges everywhere and it's not too thick
it's not too thin this is a must Tred
place if you're ever around Atlanta very
very impressed by
this lunch number two rice and Pie this
is another restaurant that's on yelp's
top 100 restaurants in America and they
serve up some very unique pizzas so
these are pizzas with an Indian twist so
this is the number of spices in this
pizza chili pizza teaca pizza butter
chicken jerk Korean tandori bump oh
there's a lot of different pizzas choose
from this might be a difficult decision
I got two pizzas one is chicken 65 pizza
and the other is the butter chicken
pizza it's such an interesting
establishment as soon as you walk in you
smell the Masala in the air all that
delightful spices and everything here is
homemade from the sauces to the spices
to the marinade to the pizza dough and
it's kind of a sicilian style pizza like
I said the dough is made in the house on
top of it a layer of red sauce plenty of
cheese your choice of veggies I got some
onions jalapenos some cilantro and then
a hefty helping of chicken 65 so if you
don't know what chicken 65 is it's a
South Indian Street food with 65
different types of spices and it's red
because there's a lot of red chili
powder used in this recipe and this is
the best smelling Pizza I have ever
encountered as soon as you open a box
all those different Aromas from the
spices the meat the cheese the veg just
Pummel you my mouth is watering nonstop
as I'm talking to you right now and the
crust is beautifully toasty especially
on the
sides oh this is so awesome the chicken
succulent and tender and it's
delightfully crispy on the outside each
bite of the chicken you got the heat of
the chilies the slight Tang that comes
from the yogurt I mean 65 different
types of spices it's complex is profound
it's Simply Delicious and combine that
with the cheese and the toasty crust and
different popping
vegetables this is the most flavorful
pizza I've ever had this chicken I'll
eat this all day long every day of the
week it's that good that's just a
masterful combination of Rich complex
Indian flavors wow my tongue is still on
fire try some of this this is Indian
this is pretty much Indian
Cola pretty much like a like a stronger
Coke and this is the butter chicken
pizza this is a fan favorite of course
curry sauce on the bottom and then
layered with cheese vegetables tons of
butter
chicken this is absolutely phenomenal
butter chicken pretty much just embodies
Comfort warmth and richness tender
chicken the sauce is creamy it's Rich
With a Kiss of buttery sweetness the
chicken just like the last one so succul
and tender you get that great flavor
from the cardamon that velvety touch of
the cream and the in just comes together
into such an Exquisite Melody of flavors
on a beautifully done pizza then of
course they added crunch from the onions
the peppers the wonderful Aroma from the
cilantro the pizza's here just pure
flavor I mean so much of it one more
thing I got to
[Music]
try this place also has birani which is
one of my favorite foods in the world

65 birani and birani to me is it's
pretty much like like a celebration on a
play or in this case a bowl so much
spices ingredients everything is just
cooked underneath a layer of fragrant
rice this thing attacks your sense of
smell right away from across the
room I haven't had beani in a while and
this thing almost brought a tear to my
eye the more you chew the more fragrant
this brani becomes each Gren of rice
it's elegant it's fragrant it's infused
with just a wide array of spices making
it taste better and better every single
time you chew and they give me some um
hot sauce to put on this in case it's
not spicy
