Shout out to 😂 “my boys” Josh and Ollie. I appreciate you guys for stopping by and allowing us to share our BoJangles here in Prescott Arkansas with you!
@@malcolmtentGlobal cooling got us though. (I know that’s not how it works lol). I’m in my 50’s now and even though I’m not into this climate change obsession I’m pretty sure that it’s not just fond memories that when I was a little kid I took it for granted that nearly every day of the school holidays would be hot and sunny. Endless rambling, games of footie and cricket etc. with the neighbourhood kids 😢
As a North Carolinian, this is the content I have been waiting for. I'm extra pleased that they correctly identified the honey mustard as the best chicken compliment. I'm sad that you didn't get any fries, though. IT'S BO TIME!
As an American, those biscuits with sausage add years to your life. My grandma was nearly a hundred and her sister was 101 when she passed. They made them homemade for decades.
The thing I've noticed about Bojangles is when you buy something from there, you're gonna end up eating all of it. You might think you're done, and you'll close the box up and set it aside, but a few minutes later you'll be picking at it until you eventually end up finishing it. It's subtle but powerful. Bojangles is my favorite chicken place but there aren't any near me so I have to just get it when I have the opportunity.
In my experience many locations do, but even those locations, if you get them on a rush, they just don’t have the time or are too worn out. Albeit, there are some locations with very evident different management but I don’t think that’s the chains standard
It all depends on the manager. If a store has a well-organized, competent, and respectful manager it will have friendly and respectful employees. When I am working out of town I frequently visit a particuly good Bojangles. Everyone there is friendly and polite. I live between two Bojangles restaurants. One is great while the other frequently screws up my order, and I respectively applaud and blame the managers. But, good managers move on, and for a while the "good" Bojangles had a lousy manager. He always seemed angry and kinda clueless, and it showed in the employees. One day he wanted me to sacrifice 90 cents in change because he did not have adequate coins in the cash box. Thankfully he no longer works there. Finally, if you do not live near a Bojangles I pity you because it is fantastic! Everyone loves Bojangles.
But... not all chicken sandwiches look like the one Josh and Ollie got. I got one the other day, and it was the size of the junk you get at Chick-fil-A. Obviously the manager told the cook to pick the biggest filet they had. I feel sorry for the folks overseas who watch this and wish they had Bojangles.
the first worker just stepping back, awkwardly trying to get out of the way whilst somehow still hanging around & letting deidra do the rest of the talking is so real 😩 i feel that in my bones
I stumbled upon your “Brits Try” site the other day and I’m feverishly playing catchup. Josh, Ollie, and the crew, you’re all lovable. You’re funny, kind, and genuine. As you know, the sponsor of your trip to Bojangles Chicken was the food delivery service Factor. That inspired me to write this message, as my surname is Factor. Keep doing what you’re doing. You bring joy to a decisive, chaotic world. Just to let you know, I’m a poverty lawyer and lifelong resident of Queens, NYC.
Does anyone else enjoy watching them initiate their crew as much as when they try stuff themselves? I just love how they feel the need to spread the joy right away!
@@redeye1016Some Brits I have seen on TH-cam say this. Actually American biscuits can vary because some of more light and flaky. Some are actually made in layers. In the South we tend to use buttermilk in our biscuits.
There is a Southern method for eating leftover/cold biscuits. Cut the biscuit in half like burger buns then slather with butter and fry them until they are brown and crunchy. You can eat these with jam/jelly or overeasy (yolky) eggs.
Love it when you get the crew involved in your videos! Please do more of that. I live in the Midwest US and have never had Bojangles but, now I want to try it very badly.
I never paid attention to the whole "49 steps" before this video but after hearing Olly ask why couldn't they add one more step, I think I know why it's 49 steps and not 50 steps. The very first Bojangles opened in Charlotte in July 1977. Four months earlier, the Charlotte 49ers made it to the Final Four for the first (and last) time ever and at the time, that was the biggest thing ever to happen to the city. So I'm betting the reason why Bojangles chose to make it 49 steps rather than 50 steps is because it was a subtle tribute to the Charlotte 49ers basketball team.
I have lived in the southern U.S. my whole life, but it never fails to make me smile when people are treated with southern hospitality. I hope y'all have enjoyed your time back in the states, and I look forward to seeing more of the trip! 🤍
@@dangshnizzle6929 It is probably just easier from a filming perspective. I am sure that they would have done the same thing in their first go around with CFA, Whataburger, and other fast food spots if they had the van previously. But we aren't them, so we can only speculate.
As a Texan, every time I hear them so impressed by Southern hospitality, alongside their fellow UK vloggers and content creators that I also watch, I think, "how bad" is it in the UK, because no one seems to deny that they aren't friendly. Like every comparison video is like, no one smiles, no one laughs, no one helps you if you need directions....geeze, I would say that can't possibly be true, but again, no one denies it so far...
@@dangshnizzle6929 lol... what miserable person you are... I think if Josh and Ollie are raving about how nice those people were (saying it was there most favorite part of the whole experience), we should just take their opinion on it huh? I can't imagine being arrogant enough to think I know better than the people who experienced it. 🤷♂
I seriously hope those cups had ice in them for that Sweet Iced Tea! That is the whole point! The tea is stronger and over-sweetened so that it still tastes great as the ice melts and dilutes the drink. The tea is typically room temperature or even slightly warm, and melts a lot of the ice as it is poured over.
@Pygon2 When I saw their cups, I was like, “Where’s the i-“ but then I remembered they’re not big on ice the way we are. I’d never drink Bojangle’s tea without heavy ice!
My Texas grandma taught me how to drink sweet tea...first you LOAD the glass with ice, top to bottom, then you pour the tea and let it sit for a minute or so. Then...and only then...it's ready to drink.
You just gotta love Ollie’s honesty. If he doesn’t like something you will know it. Wish there was a Bo’s around here (probably best there isn’t)! Love you all. Glad you had safe travels.
I miss it so much. There was one really close to the airport when my niece lived in a small town in North carolina. She didn't even have to ask, she would pick me up with my stuff in the car, and we would head straight to the drive-thru😅
I appreciate this honestly - too many people are living unhealthy lives because these types of foods are highly addictive and unhealthy. Please do not promote this type of food.
My wife and I went to Alabama for the NASCAR race. We stopped at a Pizza Hut afterward for a little something. The waitress tasked what we'd like to drink and after we told her, she said Ya'll aren't from around her are you. We are from Southern Idaho and thought it was not noticeable. Before we were done ordering, the manager, 5 more employees and 6 customers came up to talk with us because they liked our accent. Fun experience. Waht started as a 30-minute meal ended up being almost 2 hours. Keep up the great videos' guys. Thanks.
As someone from Alabama: it is always noticeable. 😂 My mom moved there from PA and heard about it every day of her adult life until she moved away lol.
I flew home from Bermuda a couple of years ago and was lucky enough to be changed from going through Atlanta like on my way down to North Cackalacky and I took full advantage of the airport Bojangles. Did I know they were making the biscuits each time? No. Did I still wait in a line for 30 minutes that twisted all round that section's food court? Of course. Such a lucky turn of events.
A "biscuit" is a scone. The same as soccer is football, American football is rugby and "American" is English. These guys are remiscent of the Chinese with copyright also rhe MAJORITY of US cuisine is not even from the US. Hamburger is from Germany, French fries (fries) are French, Pizza is italian, smoked meats originated in Britain.... Tea is Indian.4 of the US staple foods are European but ofcourse Europe can't cook..... morons....
Ironically Bojangles does have the best unsweetened iced tea in the south, imo. I never drink sweet tea and live in North Carolina so people like me do exist.
It’s usually served with ice and that diluted it a bit, so it being sweeter means it ends up tasting ideal with ice. Also, they usually do have unsweet tea. I usually take it half and half over ice.
This is automatically my favorite "trying for the first time" video of all time because Bojangles is easily my favorite fast food restaurant. Their cajun filet biscuit combo with a large bo-rounds and a large sweet tea is absolutely fantastic. Buttery and juicy chicken makes one of the best chicken sandwiches ever to exist. I can't say anymore how happy I am to watch this video.
@@LindaC616 Yeah, and that same certain Irish girl makes assumptions about things and not ask the locals what it means since she obviously hasn't a clue what she's talking about. I've given up on her. As for the biscuit she tried I think, may be wrong, it was north of the Mason-Dixson Line. The more commercially produced ones are closer to scones than a proper biscuit. Even Jolly's first experience with biscuits & gravy was not what I would call "authentic". I have eaten at the chain they went to for that and the biscuits, imho, are terrible. Never went back.
I’m a native North Carolinian and Bojangles is basically our embassy. Just remember, you can always gauge the quality of a Bojangles on whether or not they chain the fry seasoning to the cashier counter. If you see that? You’re at an elite Bojangles
9:13 Olly, you are so right!! In Colombia, Latin America, when you go to eat fried chicken in the restaurants they always give you honey (plain honey) for the chicken. Even in KFC that obviously is an American chain, they had to put sachets of honey in the takeouts because colombians love the combination of sweet and savory
As a North Carolinian this makes me so happy. Bojangles was always my first meal whenever I came back home when I’d lived in Wyoming for 4 years. I haven’t come across a video but y’all ever in North Carolina, try Biscuitville and then Cookout for their milkshakes. Make sure to drink Cheerwine as well!
"If you took the French's lack of restraint when it comes to butter, and applied it to scones, that's what a biscuit is." -Most accurate description by Ollie ever XD
Bojangles was one of the last to come out with the 'chicken sandwich', but they weren't just twiddling their thumbs. They were perfecting it. I'm ADDICTED to those things.
@SUSHI4lyf thry don't taste "just like". But can they be good? I'll grant that they might, but I haven't had one yet that made me give up bone-in chicken, or drive 45 min for it.
@@LindaC616 the only one time I’ve had bobbles, I got a sandwich, and it is BY FAR the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. It puts everything else to shame in my opinion.
I live in the south and I've had all the chicken, but never tried Bojangles! I'm definitely trying it next time we get to Memphis or somewhere that has one! The biscuits make my mouth water.
A heatwave is only after three consecutive days of heat above the relative conditions of the area. For London, this is three days, which exceed 28 degrees Celsius (82F). Obviously this is nothing on the South of the US but is not pleasant without aircon.
It’s not exactly accurate - it’s been 85-90 here all week in London, I’m guessing they filmed this back early June. Summer weather kicks in July to September here really.
I believe this location is in my hometown of Prescott, Arkansas! We have the only Bojangles/Love’s rest stop in the entire region. This is about 40 minutes northeast of Texarkana, Texas.
I stand corrected. With that being said, I am certain this location was in Prescott, as I slowed down the frames and noticed that there is a second Love’s location with a Hardee’s next to this one. Prescott is the only town around that has two Love’s right next to each other off exit 46 along I-30.
@@jbrown471 Yes, you are correct. The young lady in the video they were speaking with inside has commented under this video confirming it was the Prescott location. :) Pretty cool!
@@grahamhannah2108 when I first moved here, I’d never heard of Bojangles. The first one I tried was the one on Trade Street across from Johnson C. Smith University and I was blown away. I was used to KFC since there wasn’t a Popeyes or Church’s near where I lived in Illinois and Iowa.
Well, Joel has been with them ever since they started Korean englishman channel, he's mostly in the background like Ollie. He recently came back with them tho. You should watch his series in the other channel
Bojangles is a staple fast food place that is very good. Their fries/chips are my favorite to eat alongside their biscuits. 1:50 Ah yes, the overly sweet, sweet tea of the South. Us southerns like our tea very sweet. [Don't you guys come after me, you know I'm right.] I for one, don't like sweet tea but rather unsweet iced tea. I also like Herbal Tea and Hot Tea/British Tea. If you ever take a trip up North to Michigan, I recommend Big Boy's.
If you're on another Southern tour, I really think you would love the Gullah Geechee culture. "The Gullah are African Americans who live in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina and Georgia, which includes both the coastal plain and the Beaufort Sea Islands. The Gullah are known for preserving more of their African linguistic and cultural heritage than any other African-American community in the United States."
I used to work in a children's museum that had a traveling Gullah exhibit. The museum always seemed to feature everyone else's culture, so it was the first I'd seen in the 6 years I worked there featuring any sort of African American history, so I was super critical, but they did it justice. The exhibit was created with the assistance of actual Gullah people and featured, a mini period accurate house, and a lot of exhibit pieces that featured the rich history of the area and its people, it was great. I loved taking groups in there especially when they had real story tellers come in and tell traditional stories or read books written by the Gullah people.
Josh by now your little baby Carrot has arrived, sleepless nights, tiptoeing into the nursery to check if she is well. Waking instantly when she lets out a wimper or just straight-up makes an ear splitting cry. Changing dirty nappies and wondering how something so small and precious could possibly make anything that smells that discusting??? Hope you are adjusting well and enjoying your tiny bundle of pure joy. Blessing to you and Gabbie and baby Carrot.
Arguably Biscuits are almost equal to religion in the South. Some may even argue that true Southern food is a religious act. Just saying Y'all. Good food just warms your heart, brings folks together, and soothes the soul. Eat up!
At least Josh and Ollie understand that by "gravy" we mean French bechamel sauce the way actual poor French people made it. It's Similar with Germans in Texas. Chicken Fried Steak is the real schnitzel as made by Germans eating their lean and spent dairy cows or grass-fed steers. And what do Texans put on CFS? Bechamel, obviously.

It helps that they were recognized. Not every trip to Bos is equal. They definitely got the largest filets and strips in the pack. The location in Dallas isn't anywhere as good as the NC locations. (I doubt they are going to do "fresh" biscuits until the old pan is empty) The other good fast food biscuits are from Hardees.

As a northerner, when these guys explore the south it's as if they're in another country, full of places I've never seen. I feel like this place would do very well up here.
Its far better than KFC or Popeyes. Popeyes has never done much for me. We used to have a Church's here that was really good too but it only lasted a couple years before it closed down the one by my other house too has been gone for a long time but that place was a dump and the food was awful in that one lol the one by my main house was really good and the building was brand new not an old dump like the one on the Gulf.
Diedre, I have been to England and it is a great country. The summers are a dream and not hot like the south here. And staying at Ollie’s house would be fun, fun, fun. So save your money and go to Ollie’s.
The trick for the best southern take out tea is half sweet half unsweetened and allow ice to melt a little. Adding lemon to tea at Bo jangles is the bomb. I love their biscuits too. The chicken is spicy and with dirty rice and green beans biscuit tea with lemon, it's a treat. Great interaction with Southern hospitality at its best. Loved it. Love this video and you guys. Love from America. ❤
My 17 year old daughter works for Bo Jangles as a baker. She goes in super early to bake all those delicious biscuits. After work she usually brings home some Boberry biscuits.
It has been 13 years since I moved away from the Deep South. 13 years since my last Bojangles Biscuit or chicken and let me tell you I have missed them terribly. LOL you guys stirred my taste buds to the point I actually checked to see if a Bojangles had been built within driving distance. Clarksville Arkansas baby!!!! That’s less than 4 hours from me by car. I’m taking a road trip LOL. LOVE YOU GUYS
We are from the Northeast but travel down to Florida every year and I think we've eaten in every chicken place. Bojangles has by far the best biscuits.
The tea is usually with alot of ice so it gets watered down a bit. The Cajun filet biscuit is legendary. Their honey mustard is also great. Alot of families get the family meals on the regular. It's all great and unique.
I’m from New York, I had my first and only Bojangles experience on my way to a federal law enforcement training academy in Georgia while at my layover at the airport in Charlotte North Carolina. To say it was life-changing would be an understatement, absolutely the best biscuit in fast food history.

When I lived in Japan, they have a tradition for eating KFC for Christmas(Long Story). Years ago I use to take the on-call shift for Christmas Day, meaning I couldn't go see my family, but get paid good. The nearest Fast Food restaurant to me is Bojangles, so I decided I would take up this Japanese tradition. Every Christmas Eve I go buy a big Bo Box of chicken and biscuits and sides and eat the leftover all Christmas Day.
@@LindaC616 I don’t think Baldr was going to a Bojangles in Japan, he took up the tradition after he left Japan and worked Christmas shifts in America. Also, we have a Bojangles here in Hampton Roads on the Atlantic coast.
@@patmooney1407 I'm in RI. We were lucky enough to get a second popeyes, but that's still 45 minutes from me, and I think there's a Raising Cane's opening any minute now, but that's just tenders, so I don't see myself driving 40 minutes for it
Fellas, fellas, fellas! As a Texas native and North Carolina resident, you guys are making my week! This video is WAY overdue. Now, I’m gonna go finish my Cajun filet biscuit…with honey mustard.
Just moved to North Carolina and these bojangles have been calling my name! Did not know they were this well loved, now I’m definitely trying this weekend.
I moved an hour away from my hometown, and there’s a Bojangles there, I’ve never been so I’m glad to hear it’s very good. I will definitely explore it.
I lived in the south for 5 years and I agree Bojangles is the best. Some of my coworkers would bring in a dozen biscuits instead of donuts in the morning - SO GOOD!!! I haven't had any in 20 years, but I see it still looks delicious.

It also saved her from having to experience British food. So it's a win/win for her all the way!

@Pygon2 When I saw their cups, I was like, “Where’s the i-“ but then I remembered they’re not big on ice the way we are. I’d never drink Bojangle’s tea without heavy ice!
My Texas grandma taught me how to drink sweet tea...first you LOAD the glass with ice, top to bottom, then you pour the tea and let it sit for a minute or so. Then...and only then...it's ready to drink.
I like to do my tea as half sweet and half unsweet when I go to restaurants. But they got the jug.
Charlotte, NC girl here! Bojangles is THE BOMB.
There is a Bo Jangles 5 minutes from my home. tTe drive thru line is wrapped around the building during breakfast hours. I love their steak biscuit.
You just gotta love Ollie’s honesty. If he doesn’t like something you will know it. Wish there was a Bo’s around here (probably best there isn’t)! Love you all. Glad you had safe travels.
One just came here in Columbus Ohio.
So there's hope. 😁
I miss it so much.
There was one really close to the airport when my niece lived in a small town in North carolina. She didn't even have to ask, she would pick me up with my stuff in the car, and we would head straight to the drive-thru😅
I appreciate this honestly - too many people are living unhealthy lives because these types of foods are highly addictive and unhealthy. Please do not promote this type of food.
if your a brit, yeah def for the best, as a bo lover, a single Bo's would cause the end of so many restaurants the economy would crash
Ollie makes a particular face when he doesn’t like something - then one or both eyes start twitching 😂🤣
Her expression when you said “… in a public pool” was as if you had just said, “Sorry, my personal pool is at capacity.” 😂
I’m not even sure that pools are even a thing at homes in England.
They are not 😂@@matthewrumsey356
I appreciate his honesty though, it makes me trust the other reactions much more
😆😂
@@matthewrumsey356 Rare, as the weather isn't good enough to warrant one. We'd definitely have them if it was hotter
My wife and I went to Alabama for the NASCAR race. We stopped at a Pizza Hut afterward for a little something. The waitress tasked what we'd like to drink and after we told her, she said Ya'll aren't from around her are you. We are from Southern Idaho and thought it was not noticeable. Before we were done ordering, the manager, 5 more employees and 6 customers came up to talk with us because they liked our accent. Fun experience. Waht started as a 30-minute meal ended up being almost 2 hours. Keep up the great videos' guys. Thanks.
😄 oh you guys do have an accent from southern Idaho? I wonder how that sounds. Never heard that before, but that was a fun little experience for you.
As someone from Alabama: it is always noticeable. 😂 My mom moved there from PA and heard about it every day of her adult life until she moved away lol.
The meaning of life...chatting and learning about other folks.
Oh shoot we are from Kuna Idaho , and had no idea we have an accent 😂
Now That Is An Awesome Staff❤. You Got Great Service That Day
I flew home from Bermuda a couple of years ago and was lucky enough to be changed from going through Atlanta like on my way down to North Cackalacky and I took full advantage of the airport Bojangles. Did I know they were making the biscuits each time? No. Did I still wait in a line for 30 minutes that twisted all round that section's food court? Of course. Such a lucky turn of events.
as someone from nc I loved seeing yall try bojangles 😫 now we need yall to try cookout and the famous cheerwine lol
I like that Ollie gives reactions of genuine disgust when needed.
Unsweet tea? In the south? Bless your heart 😂 Unsweet tea in the south is just water
Bojangles has unsweet tea -- just not in the half gallons.
That’s also how you save from getting diabetes.
A "biscuit" is a scone. The same as soccer is football, American football is rugby and "American" is English. These guys are remiscent of the Chinese with copyright also rhe MAJORITY of US cuisine is not even from the US. Hamburger is from Germany, French fries (fries) are French, Pizza is italian, smoked meats originated in Britain.... Tea is Indian.4 of the US staple foods are European but ofcourse Europe can't cook..... morons....
Ironically Bojangles does have the best unsweetened iced tea in the south, imo. I never drink sweet tea and live in North Carolina so people like me do exist.
@@extofer I used to mix them to make it a bit less sweet. :)
Supposed to water that tea down a bit with some ice.
Definitely makes a difference!!! But my husband from Ireland never takes ice in his drinks…
@@safloyd6903but the Irish love their sweets
@@safloyd6903korean ppl likea ice cold drinks dven in winter 🤣
Yes, for the ice!!
@@safloyd6903 Europeans are wild for this
It’s usually served with ice and that diluted it a bit, so it being sweeter means it ends up tasting ideal with ice. Also, they usually do have unsweet tea. I usually take it half and half over ice.
This is automatically my favorite "trying for the first time" video of all time because Bojangles is easily my favorite fast food restaurant. Their cajun filet biscuit combo with a large bo-rounds and a large sweet tea is absolutely fantastic. Buttery and juicy chicken makes one of the best chicken sandwiches ever to exist. I can't say anymore how happy I am to watch this video.
Josh & Ollie single handedly spreading biscuit awareness across the world
Yes! A certain Irish girl still insists that they are the same thing as a scone😅
@@LindaC616 Yeah, and that same certain Irish girl makes assumptions about things and not ask the locals what it means since she obviously hasn't a clue what she's talking about. I've given up on her. As for the biscuit she tried I think, may be wrong, it was north of the Mason-Dixson Line. The more commercially produced ones are closer to scones than a proper biscuit. Even Jolly's first experience with biscuits & gravy was not what I would call "authentic". I have eaten at the chain they went to for that and the biscuits, imho, are terrible. Never went back.
@@Lynn-kh5rs IIRC, she went to a Dennys in Florida.
Where did the guys try it again? Waffle House? Or was it the CA breakfast one?
@@Lynn-kh5rs to be fair, a stale biscuit is basically a scone
Ollie doing a southern accent is the best.
I’m a native North Carolinian and Bojangles is basically our embassy. Just remember, you can always gauge the quality of a Bojangles on whether or not they chain the fry seasoning to the cashier counter. If you see that? You’re at an elite Bojangles
Yes!!! They went to some fancy looking bojangles, you gotta go to one that is old and greasy lol
Absolutely right.
9:13 Olly, you are so right!! In Colombia, Latin America, when you go to eat fried chicken in the restaurants they always give you honey (plain honey) for the chicken. Even in KFC that obviously is an American chain, they had to put sachets of honey in the takeouts because colombians love the combination of sweet and savory
As a North Carolinian this makes me so happy. Bojangles was always my first meal whenever I came back home when I’d lived in Wyoming for 4 years. I haven’t come across a video but y’all ever in North Carolina, try Biscuitville and then Cookout for their milkshakes. Make sure to drink Cheerwine as well!
Josh 🙂↔️
Ollie 😳
When you know they’re impressed
😂😂😂😂
Spot on!!
wrrrr
How can you not love them? Such positive vibes and attitude. Love to see it
You forgot to scream “ITS BO TIME” before eating. That’s what we do in the south
Wait, we do that?
@@benjamindeloneyYES WE DO! * nudge nudge *😉
No... no we don't
😂
😂😂😂
"If you took the French's lack of restraint when it comes to butter, and applied it to scones, that's what a biscuit is."
-Most accurate description by Ollie ever XD
THIS, THIS is southern hospitality, these people heard english accents and wanted to show ya'll how nice we can be in the south.
Bojangles was one of the last to come out with the 'chicken sandwich', but they weren't just twiddling their thumbs. They were perfecting it.
I'm ADDICTED to those things.
Have never had one. If I'm ever within reach of one, it's chicken on the bone for me
@@LindaC616 Chicken fillet sandwiches taste just like on the bone chicken. Stop thinking they're like nuggets that are processed mush.
@SUSHI4lyf thry don't taste "just like". But can they be good? I'll grant that they might, but I haven't had one yet that made me give up bone-in chicken, or drive 45 min for it.
@@LindaC616 the only one time I’ve had bobbles, I got a sandwich, and it is BY FAR the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. It puts everything else to shame in my opinion.
I live in the south and I've had all the chicken, but never tried Bojangles! I'm definitely trying it next time we get to Memphis or somewhere that has one! The biscuits make my mouth water.
British newspapers call anything over 20 C (68 F) a “heat wave”. In Central Texas, it makes me smile.
Thats a pleasant spring day here in NC.
A heatwave is only after three consecutive days of heat above the relative conditions of the area. For London, this is three days, which exceed 28 degrees Celsius (82F).
Obviously this is nothing on the South of the US but is not pleasant without aircon.
It's gonna be 100 here in central California
@@bossman5141 agree great when you live in a country set up for the heat with aircon everywhere , only place in the UK is in your car 😂
@@naomithomas6301106 index in nw georgia this past Wed…
Deidre heard about English weather and was like: “Girl bye.”
It’s not exactly accurate - it’s been 85-90 here all week in London, I’m guessing they filmed this back early June. Summer weather kicks in July to September here really.
wrgg
By far my most favorite chain to eat at other than cookout love everything they got
I believe this location is in my hometown of Prescott, Arkansas! We have the only Bojangles/Love’s rest stop in the entire region. This is about 40 minutes northeast of Texarkana, Texas.
We have a Loves/Bojangles rest stop in Central Arkansas
I stand corrected. With that being said, I am certain this location was in Prescott, as I slowed down the frames and noticed that there is a second Love’s location with a Hardee’s next to this one. Prescott is the only town around that has two Love’s right next to each other off exit 46 along I-30.
It was in Prescott but we also have a Loves Bojangles combo in Clarksville, AR like Shiba mentioned.
@@jbrown471 Yes, you are correct. The young lady in the video they were speaking with inside has commented under this video confirming it was the Prescott location. :) Pretty cool!
I live in the birthplace of Bojangle’s, Charlotte, North Carolina. So glad y’all are showing it to more people.
im going down to nc next week and the #1 thing I look forward to is bojangles as soon as I get off the plane
Charlotte has been my home for going on four years. Bojangles is very delicious. Their biscuits are amazingly delicious.
Lived in the Charlotte area for 40 years.
Bojangles is a staple food.
@@grahamhannah2108 when I first moved here, I’d never heard of Bojangles. The first one I tried was the one on Trade Street across from Johnson C. Smith University and I was blown away. I was used to KFC since there wasn’t a Popeyes or Church’s near where I lived in Illinois and Iowa.
Yess! Those are the best ones. I now live in SE,KY(5hrs away) I’m from the Raleigh area!! I had my best BoJangles at the Hornets Game!!
Love when they involve the crew 😊 It’s especially nice to see Joel again 🎉
Yes! Nothing like homemade biscuits or biscuits made fresh!
My go to when I visit family in South Carolina! Cajun chicken egg and cheese biscuit for me! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had.
I work for bojangles for 7 years loved making the biscuits
Ollie hating the bo-berry biscuit is a crime against humanity.
Ollie comes across as a bit of a pu$$y in this video.
Yes! 😂
Took the words out of my mouth
Ollie's taste buds were off because of the sweetened ice tea, needed to cleanse his palate between all that sweetness
last time I got one, the biscuit was dry as hell
Shout out to Joel. I think he's a wonderful addition to the Team. Loved his expression when he tasted that yummy biscuit 😊
Yes, definitely need more of him!
Well, Joel has been with them ever since they started Korean englishman channel, he's mostly in the background like Ollie. He recently came back with them tho. You should watch his series in the other channel
5:08 His brain trying to process an American biscuit for the first time
The high five and fist bump confusion was hilarious.
I love their appreciation of a good biscuit. The first time they had proper southern biscuits & gravy was my favorite moment. 👊🏽🫶🏼
Bojangles is a staple fast food place that is very good. Their fries/chips are my favorite to eat alongside their biscuits.
1:50 Ah yes, the overly sweet, sweet tea of the South. Us southerns like our tea very sweet. [Don't you guys come after me, you know I'm right.] I for one, don't like sweet tea but rather unsweet iced tea. I also like Herbal Tea and Hot Tea/British Tea.
If you ever take a trip up North to Michigan, I recommend Big Boy's.
Nothing ever beats fresh and made from scratch filled with energy and love.
If you're on another Southern tour, I really think you would love the Gullah Geechee culture. "The Gullah are African Americans who live in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina and Georgia, which includes both the coastal plain and the Beaufort Sea Islands. The Gullah are known for preserving more of their African linguistic and cultural heritage than any other African-American community in the United States."
Yes! I've seen videos of the Sorted Food guys' tour of Charleston SC and I'd love to see how JOLLY take on the city!
Gullah Gullah Island is where all the good food is. Also, the pollywogs.
I used to work in a children's museum that had a traveling Gullah exhibit. The museum always seemed to feature everyone else's culture, so it was the first I'd seen in the 6 years I worked there featuring any sort of African American history, so I was super critical, but they did it justice. The exhibit was created with the assistance of actual Gullah people and featured, a mini period accurate house, and a lot of exhibit pieces that featured the rich history of the area and its people, it was great. I loved taking groups in there especially when they had real story tellers come in and tell traditional stories or read books written by the Gullah people.
@@ryuusei1907 I think they went to Charleston already.
Worth going again @@markothesharko
Josh by now your little baby Carrot has arrived, sleepless nights, tiptoeing into the nursery to check if she is well. Waking instantly when she lets out a wimper or just straight-up makes an ear splitting cry. Changing dirty nappies and wondering how something so small and precious could possibly make anything that smells that discusting??? Hope you are adjusting well and enjoying your tiny bundle of pure joy. Blessing to you and Gabbie and baby Carrot.
Bojangles!! Cajun fillet biscuit is the go-to. Bo Berry biscuits are a must especially when they are freshly made!
Arguably Biscuits are almost equal to religion in the South. Some may even argue that true Southern food is a religious act. Just saying Y'all. Good food just warms your heart, brings folks together, and soothes the soul. Eat up!
At least Josh and Ollie understand that by "gravy" we mean French bechamel sauce the way actual poor French people made it. It's Similar with Germans in Texas. Chicken Fried Steak is the real schnitzel as made by Germans eating their lean and spent dairy cows or grass-fed steers. And what do Texans put on CFS? Bechamel, obviously.

You have to bring Bojangles to London so those kids can try it! Their reaction to American food is the best!
It'll suck that they won't have fresh biscuits.
No they have to bring the kids and the headmaster here
It helps that they were recognized. Not every trip to Bos is equal. They definitely got the largest filets and strips in the pack.
The location in Dallas isn't anywhere as good as the NC locations. (I doubt they are going to do "fresh" biscuits until the old pan is empty) The other good fast food biscuits are from Hardees.

As a northerner, when these guys explore the south it's as if they're in another country, full of places I've never seen. I feel like this place would do very well up here.
Its far better than KFC or Popeyes. Popeyes has never done much for me. We used to have a Church's here that was really good too but it only lasted a couple years before it closed down the one by my other house too has been gone for a long time but that place was a dump and the food was awful in that one lol the one by my main house was really good and the building was brand new not an old dump like the one on the Gulf.
im a northerner and ive never heard of bojangles before, never been to Buc-ee's and never been anywhere south really. so this is really fun for me.
This is one of the things about the US that is so hard to explain to people not from here! The different regions are truly SO different!
Diedre, I have been to England and it is a great country. The summers are a dream and not hot like the south here. And staying at Ollie’s house would be fun, fun, fun. So save your money and go to Ollie’s.
This is perfect for y'all. I'm glad more people are learning about Bojangles! One of my favorite 'fast food' restaurants.
This episode was so deeply Southern. It made my heart happy.
“You do it ho-ney” Ollie cracks me up 😂😂
The trick for the best southern take out tea is half sweet half unsweetened and allow ice to melt a little. Adding lemon to tea at Bo jangles is the bomb. I love their biscuits too. The chicken is spicy and with dirty rice and green beans biscuit tea with lemon, it's a treat. Great interaction with Southern hospitality at its best. Loved it. Love this video and you guys. Love from America. ❤
My 17 year old daughter works for Bo Jangles as a baker. She goes in super early to bake all those delicious biscuits. After work she usually brings home some Boberry biscuits.
I HAVE BEEN DYING FOR YOU GUYS TO DO THIS ONE
This is the nicest Bojangles I've ever seen in my life.
It has been 13 years since I moved away from the Deep South. 13 years since my last Bojangles Biscuit or chicken and let me tell you I have missed them terribly. LOL you guys stirred my taste buds to the point I actually checked to see if a Bojangles had been built within driving distance. Clarksville Arkansas baby!!!! That’s less than 4 hours from me by car. I’m taking a road trip LOL. LOVE YOU GUYS
We are from the Northeast but travel down to Florida every year and I think we've eaten in every chicken place. Bojangles has by far the best biscuits.
The tea is usually with alot of ice so it gets watered down a bit. The Cajun filet biscuit is legendary. Their honey mustard is also great. Alot of families get the family meals on the regular. It's all great and unique.
I am so glad you went to BoJos!! That is what my grad school fed us in mornings during finals. Great memories!!
0:40 A star is born in Diedre
I’m from New York, I had my first and only Bojangles experience on my way to a federal law enforcement training academy in Georgia while at my layover at the airport in Charlotte North Carolina. To say it was life-changing would be an understatement, absolutely the best biscuit in fast food history.
Hearing English people trying to describe American biscuits is wonderful! 😂

A Cajun filet biscuit with a boberry on the side used to be my go to.
Glad they finally went and loved it
I live in NyC and I LOVE Bojangles!!!
Lol
We dont have it here but whenever im in the south….I go in!
When I lived in Japan, they have a tradition for eating KFC for Christmas(Long Story). Years ago I use to take the on-call shift for Christmas Day, meaning I couldn't go see my family, but get paid good. The nearest Fast Food restaurant to me is Bojangles, so I decided I would take up this Japanese tradition. Every Christmas Eve I go buy a big Bo Box of chicken and biscuits and sides and eat the leftover all Christmas Day.
Sounds great!
I think it's so not fair that Japan has a Bojangles and the East Coast still does not
@@LindaC616 I don’t think Baldr was going to a Bojangles in Japan, he took up the tradition after he left Japan and worked Christmas shifts in America. Also, we have a Bojangles here in Hampton Roads on the Atlantic coast.
@@patmooney1407 I'm in RI. We were lucky enough to get a second popeyes, but that's still 45 minutes from me, and I think there's a Raising Cane's opening any minute now, but that's just tenders, so I don't see myself driving 40 minutes for it
@@LindaC616Northeast you mean? GA has them.
The Bojangles in Georgia doesn’t always make the food fresh but if timed right, it’s my top 3 chicken biscuits ever when they’re just made and hot.
Georgia is not making biscuits fresh. Why am I not surprised 😂
Cesspool Georgia😢
Fellas, fellas, fellas! As a Texas native and North Carolina resident, you guys are making my week! This video is WAY overdue.
Now, I’m gonna go finish my Cajun filet biscuit…with honey mustard.
Just moved to North Carolina and these bojangles have been calling my name! Did not know they were this well loved, now I’m definitely trying this weekend.
Thank you!!!!! I have been telling everyone that Bojangles is the BEST restaurant - HANDS DOWN!!!!!
Ice in your tea, guys! You gotta water it down! Especially when it’s that dark.
As a former employee of 2 years at Bojangles I cannot tell you how long I've waited for this day to come!
Ollie: Do you still wana come (to England)
Deidre: No
Ollie :that’s so good 😂
I moved an hour away from my hometown, and there’s a Bojangles there, I’ve never been so I’m glad to hear it’s very good. I will definitely explore it.
I love seeing these British people eating food that is actually good and their eyes pop out of their head!
Yes so used to great food in the UK it is a suprise when America has something decent
As a diehard fan of Bojangles from the south the Fries are my favorite I’ve ever had
Now bring this to the school kids and get their reactions
If they build a Bojangles in London before they make it to the east coast of the United states, we just might revolt
i was half expecting another one of ollie's amazing songs during that ad break-
you guys are the best bff's ive ever seen✨✨✨
As an NC girl, watching you experience Bojangles for the first time brought me SO much joy. Yes, it is THAT good! Chicken biscuits are magical.
Thanks for introducing me to American biscuit!!!! :D Reliving this trip through the videos!! SO EPIC
I lived in the south for 5 years and I agree Bojangles is the best. Some of my coworkers would bring in a dozen biscuits instead of donuts in the morning - SO GOOD!!! I haven't had any in 20 years, but I see it still looks delicious.
