      @@Jamesnu My situation is likely even worse.
      I am originally from Europe.
      Long ago, cruel destiny forced me to come to the usa where I've lived in North Eastern PA and near Chicago, not far from Waukegan and Libertyville.
      In those locations it was not too bad "foodwise"as there are large concentrations of different immigrant ethnic groups with their cuisines and they have their groceries and restaurants.
      Myself, I lived within the Serbian community and also hung out with Russians, Poles, Germans, Croatians and Hungarians.
      I am a mix of some of these ethnicities.
      I mostly ate Serbian food but often went to Polish restaurants and shops.
      BUT, the food is not the same as in the old country, because the meat and produce generally available in the usa is inferior in quality and taste in comparison to most European countries.
      Thus, cevapi made from american meat are not the same as those made in Serbia or Croatia from farm raised animals.
      But, at least, in the big cities, the so called metropolitan areas of the US, our type of food is available.
      But, unfortunately, many years ago, my work forced me to move to the upper northern Midwest, near the Canadian border, to one of those "fly over states"in the great plains, where i now live in a town of about 60,000.
      IT IS TRULY A CULINARY WAISTLAND, which is sad, because the Midwest is the grain, bread basket of the USA and even the world, being a vital agricultural area with huge farms and fields, planted with durum, corn, soy, sun flowers and other crops.
      But, the average locals here can't really cook and have no clue of what good food is.
      When you mention cheese, they think of Velveeta or American slices. (Enough said, LOL, sad, but true)
      I am fortunate, because I do know how to cook and bake and am able to make bread and even very nice pastries. although some ingredients needed for certain dishes are some times not available.
      BUT, I do miss the ethnic restaurants and markets in the city where I can get tasty things to eat, that I don't have to prepare myself, because, I confess, although I do know how to cook quiet well, I absolutely HATE to do it, and even more so, to clean up afterwards.
      So, yeah, when watching food review vlogs like yours, I really get very envious, when I see what's available back in civilization.
      I enjoy following you on your culinary journey, you are so enthusiastic about it and adorably greedy when you gobble up your food.

      @@manofreddi4166 Thank you! That's a frustrating situation to be in. I feel like I take for granted sometimes all of the restaurant options around me when there are so many other places that simply don't have the variety of a big city. That's actually one of the reasons why I moved to New York, since at least in the US, it has the widest variety of food. I can definitely relate to you when it comes to cooking. As much as I love food, I would rather somebody else cook and I hate the cleanup! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support!

    Ive just started watching your vids over holidays here. Really well done. Also, I am amazed at your giant appetite. Reminds me of me in my 20s and 30s when i could eat whatever i wanted all day and still be lean. Now i have to be bit more conservative haha. I assume with you living in NYC you must walk off alot of the calories. Come down to Wash DC - short train ride. We have alot more great restaurants these days, including the most Michelin starred restaurants in DC history! Keep up the great vids James!!!

      Thank you so much! Yeah, I definitely do a lot of walking in NYC, which I really enjoy. Indeed, DC has an incredible restaurant scene. It's been a while since I've been there, but I definitely should travel again to DC sometime.

    One benefit of so many restaurants being closed, is that you can plan your very next visit now. Nice compilation James. Very enjoyable and informative. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.

      Thank you! Merry Christmas as well! You're right! I definitely know where I'll be going on my next visit.

    I used to work for the mother of the guys who started VanLeeuwen, and when I asked her what her sons do for a living, she said they had an ice cream truck. I remember thinking to myself, that seems pretty loser-ish for two grown men. Fast forward 10 years and they are EVERYWHERE.

      Indeed! Van Leeuwen really expanded quickly!

    I loved seeing all the restaurants and food choices in Dumbo. There is such an energy that comes with big cities. Is your line of work in the food industry ? Thank you for the video! Happy Holidays!

      I know what you mean. Big cities like NYC have an amazing energy! No, I don't work in the food industry, but I'm very passionate about it. Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays!

    I wonder if you would ever consider going to Russian Tea Room or Tavern on the Green? Those have been among my fantasy restaurants... ones I will never see first hand. (Maybe they aren't even in existence any more... like the 21 Club). Patsy's is another fantasy of mine.

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep, both of those restaurants are fortunately still around. I'll probably visit them someday.

      God Bless you man. I mean it. I've watched you're videos. I know what it is your heart seeks the most. I suffer as well. I've recently just found Christ again. After years of sin and turmoil. I'm confident that through his words, I will be delivered from evil and find that one that I am seeking.
      I wish you the best in you're quest as well. You'll find it. Just have faith, be patient, and ask God to help you recognize with a full heart when she arrives. And you will. Happy Holidays and Cheers from Buffalo, New York.

    I love that he addresses the MUSICAL atmosphere of most of these places. That is SUCH a make-or-break deal for me (namely, the VOLUME!) and is almost _always_ overlooked by other FoodTubers.
    If you have to lean in or raise your voice to be heard (or hear) at your table, that’s a BIG-ass “L” for the owner/manager! I can’t count how many restaurants (especially the last 10 years or so) I’ve walked in and pulled a ‘U-ey’ b/c of too-loud music.
    And positively, when he specifically named the _songs_ he heard while dining (e.g., Journey & other mellow cuts) … that really IS thee most underestimated factor in dining. That’s my story and … (you get it) 🤓 🥳
    *Edit: “Washroom”! MUST be Canadian, yeah? 🤷‍♂️😀

      Yeah, music really contributes to a restaurant's atmosphere and the whole overall experience. I definitely hate music that's too loud where you can barely hear anyone speak.
