I love how denzie is the only one to eat the grilled cheese like a true American 😂 with his hands! Lol
facts haha
@@johnfischer_2 lol I was thinking the same! My thoughts were why would you get a grilled cheese out of all the American diner foods BUT it's not as common of a food for them so I completely understand wanting to try the actual American version in a diner.
That was driving me nuts, watching the three of them eat it with a knife and fork. Then Denz picked it up and I was like, "You GO Denzie!"
Every diner is unique in their offerings, it seems and that's the wonder of eating in them. They all have the "usual," good burgers and shakes, and the cook can always get your eggs just how you like them, but then they have their own quirky dishes that are just so good!
@amyscrazybeautifullife3569 lol to be fair, a well-made grilled cheese can be spectacular... delicious perfectly toasted bread (not wonderbread), a perfect blend of cheeses in abundance, just the right amount of salted quality butter. It can knock your socks off and actually be worth the price.
I was thinking WHY aren't they eating it with their hands? It's a SANDWHICH! THen I saw Denzel pick it up with hands and I was like YES!!!!
I'm always so impressed, not only with how mature your kids act, but that they are willing to try pretty much anything. Great kids!
They do seem to be great kids but I'm sure they are on their best behavior in front of the camera.
These kids remind me of how I was raised. We still did stupid kid stuff but it was expected of us like little ladies or gentlemen. Watch an old episode of Hodgepodge Lodge. That's what it used to be.
Its the difference between a family in which the husband and wife are still in the same house. My child acted the exact same way or he knew he would be held responsible..
It’s because these kids are insanely privileged Getting free trips around the world, food and housing, of course they’re gonna be acting good
@@VEGAS-NERVE No.. they are acting well behaved because their parents taught them manners!
“This Mexican stuff is amazing” 😭😭 just wait till y’all go to an authentic Mexican restaurant 😄 love y’all reactions guys 🫡
Tbh, I'm really not sure whether I prefer Mexican huevos rancheros or the Texan version, which is what most American diners are going for. Both awesome in different ways.
She said "meexican."
Top Reaction goes to Nadine. Watch her face before saying "I'm reevaluating my whole life!" 🤣 4:14 - As an added bonus, her EPIC SAVE at 6:20 😌She's super Mom!
Seeing people eat a grilled cheese with a fork and knife is a first 😂😂
Calling it a diner classic is also a first for me
Agreed
Ikr 😂😂😂
Sandwiches are "finger food"!
When I was in the UK 40 years ago, they also ate pizza that way. Probably different nowadays.
I never thought I'd get so much joy watching a family go and try different restaurants, but the chef in me loves it.
They make homemade Cimarron bread
Classic diners are the epitome of comfort food. I love going to my local diner.
Kids not arguing with their parents about phones at the table. Refreshing.
that coffee save before it spilled was a 10!!!!!!
I actually jumped to catch it through the screen ,haha
I'd say that was a total super Mom move LOL
Mom reflexes!
Those were some first-rate mom reflexes there!
Glove save and a beauty!
Start a chain of Atlanta's Kitchens serving Diner style food in New Zealand. 👍👍
I was thinking something along those lines. Depends on how close to a city they live that would make it feasible.
They live in Taupo. Decent sized town. But if she keeps on her path, there won't be a bank in the land that wouldn't give her a loan.
Absolutely! She'd be a smash HIT!! 👏👏👏👍😀
@@SC-gp7kt you overestimate the popularity of americans around the world. most of your food is ripped off from other cultures, including british, which kiwis are already familiar with.
@@blackberrythorns It's not ripped-off, America is the nation of all nations. All cultures are here and they all bring their traditions here and share them in the great mixing pot. Stop being so hateful; our people are your people, the same goes for all other nations, they came over here and they brought it with them, it wasn't ripped off.
That save by mom was incredible. Mom senses were tingling.
I love the idea of you guys making a diner. You don’t need a load of dishes on the menu just the ones you do great and the people will keep coming back. That’s why diners last here in America and the new generations take over for the older ones. Atlanta already has a love for cooking and you have the memorabilia to decorate the locations. 🇺🇸 🤍 🇳🇿
The chocolate malt drink was invented before the candies (Maltesers, Whoppers, etc.).
I had someone at work from Uruguay and when her boyfriend came up for a visit, I treated them to a malted milk shake. At my local diner. He has a bar back in Uruguay, and he spent his last two days searching for a jar of the malt to take home with him!😅
Entrepreneurship at it's finest there!
@@LindaC616 Sounds like an opportunity - might be time to setup a logistics company to supply malt to Uruguay, market opening here...
@@RyTrapp0 😄
before 1937? because that was when Maltesers first were made in the UK.
I have to say watching your shopping trip to Walmart, eating at Popeye’s, Chick-Fil-A, and now this Diner in New York has been fun. You all had quite the adventure. It’s awesome to see.
They're doing something different, anyway
Me too ! The exact only videos I’ve seen of them and I love their dynamic it seems so healthily beautiful and I loooove seeing their reactions to our culture AND how they pass everything around and try everything so you get so many different opinions!
Time to check out the USA, the National Forests, etc., not just diners and Walmart. If that's all that America is about, or that's all they're interested in, they might as well go home..
@@SweetThing Wow! Your TH-cam name doesn't match your comment. Thankfully they've met enough Americans to know how truly welcoming we are. There's only so much footage you can show at once. Kindness, openness, and patience goes a long way. And that is what being a true American is about. And they are nailing it!
@@brendasmith1533shut up Brenda 🤣
😂😂 Catching that drink was such a mom move! That's awesome
I absolutely adore your family. The quote, "Nothing is stronger than family" is exemplified with your reactions, interactions and family dynamic. I hope you enjoyed your visit!
"I'm re-evaluating my whole life." 🤣🤣😅
Mom has Spidey reflexes!
what a beautiful memory for your kids. The experiences you are sharing with them far exceed anything they could learn in school.
I am trying to imagine Denzel and Atlanta telling their classmates about passing plates in an American diner, Denzel's obvious enjoyment of grilled cheese, omelets and pancakes...and Atlanta's great coffee save and enjoyment of eggs, omelets and hash browns. Truly one of my favorite food videos from my favorite New Zealander families.
Totally agree!!
I wish that I had done something like this with my daughter when she was growing up.
Huevos Rancheros are a staple breakfast item at diners, taquerias, and mexican restaurants in Texas and the Southwest. I'm personally fond of the varient called huevos divorciados. This has one egg with salsa rojo, the other with salsa verde, and often separated by a line of refried beans.
When Denz loves something he is silent 😂 it’s the sweetest thing ever! Love your fam!!!
I love how you all trade the plates♥️ you guys Rock!🚀
Growing up, our family of 4 rarely ate in a restaurant. What a treat when we did! We would order 4 different food items & share the bites of each, passing the dishes to one another! Fun times!😊 Happy to see Our NZ Family enjoying the same!😉
@@beckybanta126it's such a great idea! I do that once in a while with friends
We still have classic diners in NJ. Diners serve a few purposes. They're great to stop at while travelling to get a hot meal. They're great if you're a night owl like myself(I work 10pm-6am but I'm up late even on my nights off) and are hankering for something other than snacks. Or after a night of drinking with the fellas it's a great place to wind down before going home. We have such a place 5 minutes from my house which is great. Glad y'all had a good time. God bless.
I live in the Philly suburbs, but my office is in SJ. I stop by the Black Horse Diner & Club Diner on occasion when I'm there and have never been disappointed. Diners, to me are part of the fabric of New Jersey and I hope they all stay strong.
I grew up in the Hudson Valley of New York whenever we went to see a ranger or Yankee game. We always stopped in Paramus New Jersey at the same diner.❤😂🎉
@@FUBAR1986
I grew up and still live in Rockland County in NY. Where in the Hudson Valley did you grow up?
When we lived in Tucson we used to go to the 5 & Diner. I think there was one in Phoenix too.
@@mil2k11 the fact that the not only closed but demolished the Melrose Diner in Philly is a crime.
And TOTAL CONGRATULATIONS to SpiderMom who, at 6:25, saved the day with a quick snatch on the milkshake!
You guys are such a treasure to watch as a US citizen. It often feels like the world hates us. We are not so terrible as perhaps the foreign media portrays us to be.
I've seldom met an American I didn't like. But your politicians are awful. They shape the world's perception of you.
Thank you for adding this to the comments, as an American I really appreciate it.
The American media hates Americans. No wonder the perceptions.
@@Nizzleson In general, Americans don't even like American politicians.
@@Nizzlesonas an American I agree with what your saying about our politicians.they all constantly embarrass and infuriate me.and when I say all I mean ALL of the politicians😂.
I drink coffee with cream and sugar!
I think most people do, some like it black but i think most enjoy sugar, flavored cream or both. 7-11 has great coffee
The way it goes is that you are given black coffee. It is then up to you to turn it the shade of beige you want to drink. You can actually learn a lot about people by what they add to their coffee.
Yep usually there’s sugar/cream on the table if not the waitress usually ask if u want sugar/cream. I have to add both and the amount is based on how strong it is
I like a little coffee with my cream and sugar. 😂
I only add milk nothing else and the only reason I don’t drink it black is because I am cursed with acid reflux and the acidity levels are too strong when it is black
@@ianloeb1672 I have that and a few other gastro issues. I don’t drink as much coffee as I used to
@@msdarby515 LOL my parents use to tease me w/that saying
So awesome! I love when Nadine said, “I’m reevaluating life in general!” 😜 Diners are awesome! I love some breakfast for dinner!
I COULD EAT BREAKFAST FOR LUNCH AND DINNER ALSO. NO PROBLEM.
@@TOBYH I could eat breakfast everyday for lunch and dinner! Diners are the best!
I love this channel and just how positive, chill and open-minded you guys are. Yes, America is big and wild and weird, but we’re people too, lol. I love that you checked out a REAL diner; I was born in Trenton, New Jersey and have lived in the NJ/NYC spotlight my entire life. People love to knock us, but this area has some of the best food and people you will ever meet! Thank you so much for showing your kids the world and best wishes for continued safe travels ❤
So glad you finally were able to try a genuine American diner! There are many just like that all over the United States in small towns and larger cities alike. So looking forward to you visiting us again! Do plan to visit the American Heartland on your future travels here. I like your idea of a classic American diner in your area of New Zealand! Appreciate you all so much! Mark in Iowa USA.
Stick to the white neighborhood s
Here in Kentucky we call the last dish “A poor man’s meal” 😅
Do it! Open "A Kiwi Dinner" it would be awesome people from all over New Zealand would come. Denzel is too much, those facial expressions 😂
The next time you are in an American diner you have to order the chicken fried steak with eggs and a biscuit. It will come with gravy and is delicious!
Not in the ghettos
You order that south of the Mason Dixon lol
@@Angelwatcher1624 I live in the Seattle area and chicken friend steak and eggs is a staple in diners here.
@@PedroismNYC is far from a ghetto… also yes we have chicken fried steak here too. But honestly eggs & corned beef hash or just classic eggs and bacon is more my speed.
Not up north.
What an endearing family! Mom and Dad continue to raise the kids like that and kids, continue to raise Mom and Dad like that.
To make the potatoes like the hash you need to bake the potatoes exactly like your making baked potatoes, then let it sit in the fridge overnight, then dice and fry in bacon grease until they're super crispy with salt pepper and garlic. Super easy and fast. I made it for breakfast today before work in about 15 minutes exactly like you ate yours, just without the short rib, but bacon instead.
Grilled cheese is 2 slices of orange plastic slices melted, and eaten with Campbell's tomato soup on a cold day 😊
No, cheddar cheese and served with tomato soup and a side of pickles.
@@marthamitchell9452 That is not the traditional American grilled cheese and tomato soup. It’s gotta be the kraft American cheese slices 😉
@@davegink9222 we never had those. 😂
@@davegink9222 Kraft singles are made out of cheddar cheese though. Its just melted and mixed with water/milk + plus a binding agent.
Everybody thinks that American cheese is fake, process does not mean fake.Look it up on Google
Nice to see you aren’t eating more fast food. Places like this and mom and pop restaurants will always have higher quality and more unique food. Fun to watch and made me hungry.
Just so happy to see you enjoying our wonderful country. I hope everyone treats you with love and respect. Just awesome to see such a nice family so interested in our culture.
2:57. Ya'll forget to get chicken (or country) fried steak, with country gravy, eggs and hashbrowns... my all favorite!!!😋
Pancakes, griddle cakes, flap jacks... take your pick.😂
French toast is also a good one. There are so many different ways of fixing it!😊
Grilled cheese is eaten with your hands. I love grilled cheese with bacon! When I lived in Mexico for almost two years, I ate huevos rancheros almost every Saturday. I had it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone eat one with a knife and fork before, although I have heard that some people even eat fried chicken with a knife and fork 😂.
the 'fry up' you were mentioning, you can find in a lot of diners, especially in the 'South'...usually called 'skillets' fried potatoes with eggs, some kind of meat...filling breakfast for sure!
As someone who lives in North Texas (Ft Worth area), I can confirm that some of the absolute best diners are the ones tucked away in the small towns where mom & dad have been working on perfecting their recipes for 50+ years, and the employees have been there for decades.
I'm in Pennsylvania... We have 3 that fit your description...The waitresses have been there for decades and understand "over medium and dead rye" and "gravy on everything"
It makes me feel really good and hungry seeing ya'll enjoy the food 😊. Im waiting for the video where Atlanta is just running around restaurants with a notepad demanding recipes 😂
Y'all saw how much creamer was at walmart. You know we don't just drink black coffee😊
Diner resraurants started from the dinning cars in trains. Typically they had the linoleum floor squares and juke boxes on each table.
Great video. My favorite diner meal is an open face roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and lots of gravy. Many years ago I was traveling through Ontario, Canada and stopped in a diner and ordered hot roast beef sandwich, served with French fries and lots of gravy. It was definitely a slice of food heaven. French fries and gravy my ultimate favorite. Have a wonderful day.
I like open face roast beef or roast turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy (can't do without the gravy).
Yum. I like corn with my mashed potatoes and extra gravy.
I love coffee,but I need cream!! Wonderful you and yours are truly enjoying our food!!
👍 Those mom reflexes, awesome! Great video.
As a long time New York diner and deli breakfast cook, the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had were at a place where we cubed the potatoes, then cooked them most of the way through with finely diced red and green bell peppers, onions, olive oil, salt, pepper and a LOT of Spanish paprika. Then once everything was pretty cooked we would mix them all together in a giant bowl to make sure every piece of potato was coated in all those amazing flavors and then put them in a large covered bin to marinate and soak in all that flavor overnight in the refrigerator. the next day we would just cook them to order on the flat top grill and they were out of this world amazing.
I would have been so psyched if I randomly ran into this family walking in NYC. I LOVE their love for most things American. :)
Denzie was the only one to properly eat the grilled cheese.... with his hands!
I gasped when Atlanta almost wore her drink.
The chocolate is semisweet.
The fried potatoes are a favorite of mine.
24 hour greek diners were a staple of my childhood/teen years. Historically each immigrant group in NY would usually specialize in a specific business/field and the Greeks were/are BIG in diners. they’re unfortunately beginning to go the way of the dinosaur post covid, but growing up after goin out really late at night after drinking with friends in the city a 24/7 diner was ALWAYS the move if not dollar pizza. I’m glad you all did your due diligence got the true experience. If you ever come back, you should try getting out to Queens and Brooklyn it has a lot more of the old school NY vibe relative to Manhattan and the food is some of the best in the city.
You just can't beat hash browned potatoes and short ribs. But I have to admit, huevos rancheros comes close. I love that they had a great time trying real diner food!
Such a joy to see this. We took a family vacation to NYC in 2019 and this reminded me of my lunch at a classic delicatessen eating a Reuben sandwich. I have to say food in NYC is among the best anywhere in the US.
It is such a beautiful thing how you and your family get together and enjoy life. My family is Panamanian but I grew up in Florida. If y'all get a chance try Panamanian food.
I spent 6 months living in a tent in the jungles of Panama. But I had the privilege of eating Panamanian quicine. And i must say, it is the best food on the planet!
The mother's outfit looks cute on her, but I also kept thinking, she must be so cold, LOL! Kudos to her for being quick enough to catch the iced latte before it spilled. That surely would've been an ugly and wet disaster. This video made me so happy watching it and also very hungry!
Always get a smile watching your family. Thank you for sharing your joy and love. Not everyone gets to experience being a member of a family in this sense.
I don't think that's true, Nadine....we drink coffee a million different ways!
Whether you call them pancakes, hotcakes or griddlecakes depends a lot on what part of the country you're from.
With those potatoes in that last dish, my guess is that they par-boil them in a seasoned water for that "Marinated" flavor, and then deep fry or pan fry them to finish.
Yes, most Americans drink 800 calorie Starbucks coffees with loads of sugar and cream that doesn't even taste like coffee.
Yeah, I thought that was strange when she said that. The only people I know who take their coffee black are people in the military/veterans. My dad was in the navy and said that he learned to drink black coffee because the creamer wasn’t good. Though, I’m sure it may have been improved since when he served.
Ye-ah, I don't know anyone who takes their coffee black, including my NYC born and raised husband, lol.
Most people I know drink coffee black, once in a while some creamer or condensed milk but that's more of a dessert. When I drank coffee I also preferred it black ☕️ I've only ever had a couple of friends or co-workers that go for coffee mixes which is fine, coffee is delicious no matter what!
I usually drink my coffee black. Sometimes I'll throw a splash of milk in.
Sam… a grilled cheese sandwich is normally eaten with your hands, not a knife and fork… But Hey! You eat it however you wish! LOL
If they have it in New Zealand, it’ll be how they eat it.
it's just so nice to watch your family having a wonderful time
My roommate in my 20s went and study abroad in New Zealand and loved it. My sister also got to go and went skydiving over there and loved it. Beautiful Country.
I’m watching this video on Christmas Eve, and it made me so happy. Your family is too adorable and our country is better for having you visit us. Love from Arizona ❤️
You don't get Juevos Rancheros in New York, you need to come to Albuquerque, New Mexico for really good Juevos! My favorite is Weck's on Louisiana south of Montgomery! Glad you're here though, have a great time! My father was was born in Queens New York in 1937!
You have to try New York style pizza! And also their cheesecake... I'm sure the locals can direct you to the best they have
I hope they tried New York Stromboli. When I was going to NY people told me to try it. My host were shocked when I asked for Stromboli…they told me honored guest can’t eat pizza. So I told them Honored Guest would be deeply honored to eat NY Stromboli. They researched it and took me to the number one Stromboli spot. Funniest thing ever when it arrived my host asked for a taste then ordered one for everyone else plus promised to bring his girlfriend to eat NY Stromboli.
If they haven’t yet then I’m sure they won’t try it for a WHILE
I'd love to see them go to Sally Slices place
yup, juniors cheesecake!!!!
You should try the classic BLT sandwich if bacon, lettuce, and tomato. I like how the family can do the continuous rotations of dishes so everyone tries everything hand have to keep the next person in mind.
Such a beautiful family... your kids are so good at this. Showing stuff to the cameras... the little girl is a star in the marking and the young man isn't far behind.
Hope you enjoyed your time in our country.
I've too have wanted to open a diner but that only does breakfast and lunch, and I also want to deliver breakfast the way restaurants do dinner. I've woken up in the morning so many times wishing someone would just deliver a hot breakfast to my door. I've also thought about a food truck for breakfast that I could park in various places close to neighborhoods where people could walk up and get a hot breakfast. Watching you all has fired up my motivation. I think I'll go make breakfast. 😃
We used to live across the street from a Perkos Coffee Shop that served breakfast all day. On special days like my birthday or Mother's Day,, my husband would call our orders in and then walk across the street to pick up eggs Benedict, biscuits and gravy; waffles or whatever instead of trying to cook since I'm the cook and he get freshly baked cinnamon rolls or blueberry crepes for his birthday. It's so nice when someone else cooks for your birthday.😊
It's called Uber Eats.
Go for it!!! I hope you do and are successful 👍💙 Follow your inspirations and trust your gut!
Approximately 90% of restaurants fail. I was in the restaurant business for 40 years
I feel fortunate that I have a wide selection of diners, bakeries and restaurants that make and deliver breakfast. Move to New Jersey! I recommend our pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll. 😂
We have an amazing diner here in Tulsa OK called Tally's. it is on Rt 66 and has some of the best food. Their pancakes are huge and they have a large cinnamon roll that fills an entire dinner-sized plate! It was so much fun watching you enjoy the food at this diner in NY. Now go try NY pizza, cheesecake, and bagels!
In 1992, I drove from Auckland to Wellington. Took the Picton ferry to Nelson. Then down to Christ Church for a flight to Sydney. My take on New Zealand at that time was: I found it very provincial and reminded me of the 1950s. It was very comfortable and relaxed. Very provincial. That was my first exposure to a NZ cooked breakfast. There were no choices. Just a cooked breakfast.
Did she just say "this Mexican stuff is amazing" 😂😂😂 I had to replay it 3 times to make sure I heard that right. huevos rancheros is my go to for breakfast at a restaurant in the south west but not in NY
They need to try some real hole in the wall Mexican restaurants. Not the fancy ones but the ones that cook the real stuff, and definitely not the chain restaurants.
I almost had a stroke when the milkshake (or whatever it was in the glass with the spoon sticking up) was almost turned over! Whew! I love how you all swap plates so every one of you can have a taste of everything! Such a great, loving family! God bless all of you! I'm so glad y'all got to come visit America!! Stay!!
Great save, Nadine. I can't get from the kitchen to the table without spilling or dropping something
Love your family dynamic. I'm happy for the blessing you guys are to one another, and to us!
Diners are what I call comfort food.. Like mom makes dinners.
Huevos rancheros at one of the oldest authentic American diners. Love it.
Your comment plus Atlanta's comment: "this Mexican stuff is amazing" - both made me laugh. I'm not Mexican but I would have ordered the same thing - I love huevos rancheros.
Personally, I’m skeptical. Huevos Rancheros in NYC?
@@MrJeddYoung As do I. LOL
@@dgpatter I'm guessing the kitchen staff is largely hispanic.
@@dgpatterThat's what's great about the USA these days - you can get just
about anything anywhere!
Your family needs to try small town restaurants. We have a restaurant here in Oswego NY called Wads
Those mom reflexes 💪🏼 always on point!
The filtered coffee is an American go-to. Some people like their coffee black, but a lot of others gotta put tons of creamer or milk and sugar.
Diners are the best, when you want to feel like you just stopped over at your favorite old aunt's house, and she cooked something for you to eat (and she was the best cook)! Diners serve you that good old home cooking.
Those Roast potatoes are usually double rinsed and sit in dry seasoning about 30 minutes before pan frying or baking
Yum, that's looks so appetizing😋. Enjoy Fam nice video.
It's so nice that you're enjoying your trip here in the US. Saying"hi " from California 😊
I love how the mom described the food as soul food , wait till they try real soul food.
Some of the oldest restaurants and diners have some of the greatest foods out there! 👍
That's true. I like watching a show called. Diners, Drive Inns, and Dives. A guy travels all over trying out food from different small places.
@@geoffreysmommy i’ve seen it before, they have some of the best food!
Diners are my favorite. Almost can get whatever you want and the vibe is so awesome
So glad you went to a diner! There are thousands of them all over the states. You can get any meal at any time. Keep having fun - such a nice family
I've never seen anybody eat grilled cheese with a knife and fork.
@7:15 Did I just see Denzie snarf half a jalapeño in one bite, hardly flinching? I'm impressed!
Now that diner realy gives you a good representation of American food. Much better than some of the places you went.
A good American diner is just about unbeatable with your basic American dishes. They season it and cook it to perfection. Breakfast at one is so good.
So glad you made it to America! I hope you wonderful family are having a blast!
Mom's iced latte save was nothing short of amazing!!
I really love watching your sweet family enjoy our American things. It makes me appreciate my country more~
Love that you're all enjoying your time here in the US of A!!!
There's diners all over the South. Some of the best are what we call " hole in the wall" in other words, you wouldn't know it was there or that it's delicious. Glad you enjoyed your first one.
Am I the only one that caught Denzy sneaking a secret bite of that syrup off of the end of his fork and then the little evil smile that followed afterwards?! That was hilarious! I love Denzy!
Also, am I the only one that thinks your New Zealand family should come to America and open up a New Zealand food type restaurant here in America, as opposed to opening up a diner in New Zealand? I think you should come here! We want you guys as citizens! We already claim you as honorary citizens all you gotta do now is get the paperwork!
Poor Kylo would have to stay in quarantine for 28 days at an animal care facility in the US without any of his family, though. Then, he'd have to go through the same if/when returning to New Zealand. I hope they see this comment and really think through any plans to bring Kylo with them rather than leaving him with familiar family members who have dogs that he knows.
"Welcome back home, mate. So what'd you see in America?"
- New Zealand family lists 30 different restaurants.
Seefood.
Steak and Eggs is a staple in American breakfasts, though of course we have many other choices, we do like options here.
Hey guys. Love this vid. I’m a New Yorker, a You Tuber and have kids not to much younger than you. I would have loved to know you were coming and shown you around. I know we would be fast friends. Your family reminds me of mine. Just goes to show we have more in common than differences.
I am glad to see you guys are having a great time trying all these different foods.
Did you guys never go to the B.E.D. (Bald Eagle Diner) on Tamaki Drive in Mission Bay when you lived in Auckland? Very authentic American diner with American Menu. One time I was there an American customer was eating a Philly Cheese steak and he told them it was the most authentic Philly cheese steak he's eaten outside his home state of Philadelphia. We need more of them.
Jet lagged and Miss Nadine mom skills stilll. ON POINT!
Cat like reflexes🎉
I’m so glad you enjoyed our food
I have such fond memories of my first diner experience. It was in New Jersey near my husband's childhood home. He had a pizza burger (a thing I didn't know existed) and I had an open face hot turkey sandwich. They had free fresh baked cookies at the till. I dream about those cookies. 😋 Sadly the diner changed ownership and name many years ago. It's still pretty good, but not the same. And no more cookies. 😢
