North Koreans Try American BBQ feat. Asian Boss
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ม.ค. 2017
- We also wanted to have them try the best sauces from the most respected regions in the US, so we reached out to LawLers Barbecue (Alabama), 12 Bones (North Carolina), Gates Bar-B-Q (Kansas City) and Rudy's Bar-B-Q (Texas) who agreed to come on board for this project.
(We tried reaching out to several places in Memphis but none were interested unfortunately. Sorry Memphis, we tried our best)
First, we wanna say this project wouldn't have been possible without 12 Bones, LawLers, Rudy's and Gates. These are already successful and respected businesses who could have told us they weren't interested, but they loved the idea of this project and having their local region represented. It was also awesome for us to be able to try all the different styles of sauces. Please show them your support and if you stop by one of their stores, tell them you saw our video:
-12 Bones (Blueberry chipotle sauce was Good Morning America's sauce of the year): tiny.cc/12bones
-LawLers (Red sauce was Northern Alabama sauce of the year): tiny.cc/lawlersbbq
-Rudys (A sauce even Texans like) - tiny.cc/rudysbbq
-Gates (classic, original, extra hot, sweet & mild): tiny.cc/gatesbbq

Digitalsoju TV I'll let you guys know if I can provide some Spanish subtitles for you (if I get to have some free time this week). I'd be delighted to help. :)
Well I can translate English to Chinese(Traditional) for ya.
Yes that'd be great. I need some sleep first, but I'll get those docs up in the morning. Thank you for your interest!
i could translate english to french ...
I can translate to Bahasa Melayu
Nobody really said anything about the host. He did a really good job in my opinion, he still had his own personality and input, but he mainly drew out the character of each guest. Props to him!
kimjongillest Agreed 👍👍👍
Yea he did a great job
For sure. Great host.
kimjongillest He was excellent. I know I'll look for more of his work.
kimjongillest Steve is such a great host... You gotta check out Asian Boss if you haven't already, he does good videos tho.
Their reactions to Brisket should automatically earn them American citizenship.
Indeed! lol
Especially the skinnier woman... her reaction was adorable...
I totally agree
Agreed
You can never go wrong with a well made brisket. Perfection.
"The sauce dilutes the flavor, you can't really taste the smoke"
You're right. damn. right. A good brisket doesn't need sauce.
affirmative!
Can I get an Amen to that statement!
Look at her face; her first bite of brisket was truly a foodgasm.
Facts, a tender brisket hits so hard on its own. If I’m putting sauce on my brisket it’s either dry or has something off with it
I like a little vinegar on my brisket. Counters the fat. No too much, though.
As a proud Texan, I shed a tear when this GREAT pitmaster explained the concept of "everything is bigger in Texas"
.....except football and bbq! Those 2 are better n KANSAS CITY! Bigger dont mean sh!t!
@@aaronpatterson2369 Don't know about that one man, and my dad is from KC. From Texas though, and the cowboys definitely suck. I will admit, I am a sucker for my dad's gates sauce burnt ends, though. Wyandotte BBQ ribs and fries are among my favorites I've ever had
@@aaronpatterson2369 football has only been big in KC since Mahomes got drafted tbh. In Texas, its deep rooted like basketball is in Indiana
As a proud American I hate to burst your bubble , "not everything is bigger in Texas". Lots of great things about Texas from what I have seen. BBQ is one of them.
@@aaronpatterson2369 The Kansas City Chiefs were originally a Dallas football team. Just sayin'.
1,000,000 times better than any one of Buzzfeed's videos.
and that's fuckin' saying something.
ISIS beheading videos are well edited and come in 4k sometimes so yeah that's true. (Not a terrorist)
Ducktective I don't like buzzfeed but I have to disagree, just because you hate them doesn't mean every single one of their videos suck. They have some good ones, you just have to look.
Ducktective agreed!
Ducktective Never seen any of their content but I'll be sure to avoid them.
I thought this was a buzzfeed video then I enjoyed it and knew it wasn't
bahahahahaha
coolboy10439 😂
coolboy10439 literally the only good videos on BuzzFeed have Eugene in them. 😂😂😂
exactly what phil D said.
coolboy10439 Yep, now buzzfeed is just a bunch of feminist bullshit.
"best BBQ in America!"
North korean guy: "its a little dry"
LoL
Damn when N.Koreans are calling youre food dry you fucked up lol 🤣
It’s because they didn’t get the pulled pork from Texas. Even mainstream places like rudys makes some of the juiciest pulled pork man. My mouth is yeehawin just thinkin about it.
I'm from Maryland and this video made me so fucking proud to be an American.
Everyone knows the best barbecue is made in the backyard.
I'm assuming it's usually served already sauced, and they got it without sauce just for this video. I'm also assuming they only put a little sauce on their portion to be polite, when it's supposed to be slathered on. Just sayin
"Why is this bottle bigger than the rest?"
Me: "Is it from Texas?"
It was, indeed, from Texas. LOL.
Hellllll ya brother! Yeehaw!
As soon he brought up the size I was legit thinking "Everything is bigger in Texas" 😅😂
@BJJ Fiend As a Texan, I agree and take pride in that so thank you 😎👍
Hope you enjoy it here!
I mean, there are Texas flags above it
do you think we are joking when we say everything is bigger in texas?
The lady in red seems like that cool woman in your apartment building that will randomly bring you food cause she made too much, and who you invite in for coffee or tea just to listen to her talk about her life for hours!
But also the lady that's dead honest and tells you when you've gained weight or have an ugly girlfriend 😂
Vic Wunder i lived in an apartment building a couple years ago as a teen, and this wonderful filipino lady would always bring me food when she made too much, it was the best part of living there
I strive to be this kind of neighbor, as I love cooking and baking
Oh yeah, but also who could roast you if the time was right, like the was that nice older woman who busts your ball lol
@@ashleyelisa4460 My mother did this whenever she knew college students were around.
She was always impressed and wanted to show gratitude to the generation to succeed
as it was an opportunity she never got, but is eternally grateful for where she is because of them and their freedom!
“American spy gains information from North Korean escapees by bribing them with brisket”
😂
Just wait until they try Chick-Fil-A
Not a bad tactic
The mans is a genius
Cade Rippee chick fil a cant even compare to what they ate.
You can literally see their hearts melting when they tried the brisket, this makes me happy on all levels
The look on the younger woman's face when that first bit of brisket hit her tongue was so heartwarming.
It tasted like freedom!
The only true neutral zone anywhere on earth is the dinner table.
Drunken Panda Don't forget about music.
victoria indeed
Drunken Panda not at Olive Garden
Say that to my family on thanksgivings…
Not on Thanksgiving Dinner, that's for sure...
"everything is bigger in texas" he looked so excited to be able to say that haha
I mean it is lol. They should try Whataburger next!
Yeah Texas likes to be flamboyant haha
Nicholas Garza whataburger is the best fast food burger place ever, Californians don’t @ me with your in and out.
Gavin Shaw go Texas!
I died when he said that lol
It honestly brings tears when I see their faces light up and have amazing food T^T no one deserves to starve
Actually no one deserves anything, all life forms have to work to survive. Sorry for being a nerd🤓
@@joebungus3447ACKSHUALLY people do deserve things. Case in point, you deserve a good kick in the ass. :)
As an American, this was humbling to watch. The joy in one girls face with the first taste of brisket was amazing to watch. I would love to go out to dinner or have any of these folks over. Great content!
“This is why Americans gain weight”
YOU RIGHT
I let out the ugliest laugh
I like your honesty
but when we say the opposite you fucks go apeshit about it and calling us overweight
America has an extremely large diversity of food types from all over the world. I have yet to try them all but have found so many I would gladly travel for to try again
Same😂
Jay I’m ok with being a fat bitch goddamn it good is good
I find it interesting that South Koreans view the stereotypical North Korean as a "bad person". In the US, we tend to view them as starving, hard-working victims of a bad government, not bad themselves.
Well we are technically still at war. Our parents' generation were taught that communists are demonlike people with horns and hooves.
I'm your parents generation and never heard that.
In S.Korea
Sean Brass but it is understandable why they'd think that, during the Cold War Americans viewed Russians as evil communists, and Russians viewed us as the "capitalist pigs". It's just how rival countries see each other.
Jeonghaya, I grew up in S Korea during the 60s and 70s.
It breaks my heart hearing of their hardships but it warms my heart like no other seeing them enjoy our imports
I was going to like this reply but you already had 69 like, well done.
@@Panzer_ze_tank ok ok.. lets hide this part of us till they have been here 10 years.
11:29 "everything is bigger in texas"- looks at camera and smiles
When the Asian sauce boss looked at the camera and said "Everything is bigger in Texas" I fucking DIED! It's almost like he was peering into ever American's soul, giving a little wink and a nod!
yujil da delet this XD
yujil da small dicks don't matter when you fight Mexico for independence.
yujil da lmao that's the exact opposite of the stereotypes
Wise Beard Man me too😭
Texas is bad a
Taking leftovers home in America is common. People would more likely look at you as wasteful if you had left more than a few bites of food. That is why restaurants have so many to go boxes and bags. Take it home and eat it for dinner the next night. That is also something people don't understand about American portion sizes, we also like to take it home and have it for lunch or dinner the next day too :)
It's not just leftovers (which is common in South Korea too), but like literally everything. Korean cuisine has a lot of side dishes (banchan) and almost nobody takes that home, so that's why people looked at her crazy. It's not the same thing as putting a burger and fries in a to-go box.
So if someone had an unfinished steak that is ok to take home, but you're talking more about taking the free buns home too? Is that how I am understanding this?
it actually is making me laugh, cause I can't help thinking about people who go to hotel rooms and take all the soaps and shampoos in the room with them too lol
have you ever eaten at a korean restaurant before? they usually give like a dozen small side dishes for free to eat with your meal, it'd be unusual to take them home since they're small.
No I haven't, there are not any places that are close to me, so I have had to cook my own korean food at home. However now that you mention it, I have seen the amount of side dishes sometimes, so I guess I understand how it is different. I still would probably throw it all in a box and take it home though LOL. Waste not want not ;)
Devin google banchan or copy and paste this 반찬 into google image search to get an idea.
I live 12 minutes away from 12 bones i love bbq I am so glad that the great taste of American bbq can be shared with different cultures.
Next time you're there tell them you saw the video. They're great people!
Her reaction at 9:24 is so adorable and heartwarming. Good brisket still gets me like that, so I can't even imagine how incredible of an experience that was for her.
I love everyone's reaction to the beef ribs! Awesome.
"I mean, we risked our lives to come here just so we could have a bowl of rice. Then I realized this was a different world."
Oof. Who's cutting the onions?😭
This video is lying, i just saw a video where it is shown north korean street food and it was pork at a very cheap price
And the woman was talking about how she disliked all the wasted food in restaurants and that is why she said this is a very different world, in a negative way and i do agree, capitalism doesn't care about wasting food despite poor people starving of hungry
The freaking ninjas right behind us
@@zarzamora9240 you are actually stupid
Zarza Mora I mean tho how is this specifically capitalism’s fault I’m not too educated on how everything works like capalism and communism but it’s the people that waste the food I’m not sure how switching to communism or socialism would change that also you must remember North Korean is cheap in U.S dollars but North Koreans have little way of making money and most jobs in North Korea don’t pay much if anything so there would be no way to afford the “cheap food”
"thats why americans gain weight" i laughed so hard.
yes my friend, yes.
The same guy said a minute latter, man this is kind of addicting.!!!
If they just ate real Italian food instead of Olive Garden, they would eat the same amount of calories and stay healthy :D
hehehehehehe sooooooooooo truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Nah, it's because they add loads of shit to their food. Eating good quality BBQ just gets you strong. It's all the sugar and additives.
Well, notice the one lady that's been to America a few times was a bit on the plump side :)
Steve is a class act, a true gentleman. I admire his respect and kindness to these amazing people.
I love watching other cultures eat American BBQ for the first time. Their reactions are always so wholesome. Makes me proud as a Texan to see others enjoying our style of food as much as i have throughout my life.
As a fellow Texan, and one who smokes brisket, That look on her face when she took a bite of brisket....that was enough to make this Texas boy cry. And when she said she prefered NO SAUCE on her brisket....it made this Texas boy weep. She truly is.......AN HONORARY TEXAN!!
levithan9 same
I kind of feel like seeing those reactions is what motivates chefs around the world.
I cheered out loud when they said it would be Rudy's bbq haha
Brisket Texan brothers
I’m not Texan but I’m also in the “no sauce on my bbq” camp. Good meat stands on it’s own, only way I’ll put sauce on it is if I’m making a sandwich
Two things in this video :
- it's impossible not to smile
- it's impossible not to be hungry

Eat while seeing videos of people eating
@@idkusername4106 The exact same food ?
@@oxo8461 a food that you like (just to not be too hungry)
@@idkusername4106 True but I would cry over my crisps while seeing these beautiful plates XD
@@oxo8461 no 😂 sometimes I do that too
Omg Rachel’s face and reaction after taking that first bite of brisket is so wholesome 🥺
That priceless look on his face when he realized he just got the perfect setup to say "Everything's bigger in Texas", was so good.
they are very respectful even when they don't like the flaver.
TheOuterLimits yeah! unlike us Americans we would spit it out onto a paper towel right infront of the chef...
you probably never been to s.korea. there are so many restaurants specializing in north korean cuisine.
there just aren't enough food to cook up there.
rencrow, savage lol
rencrow what does being white have to do with it?
North Koreans know what it means to starve. Americans on the other hand throw away tons of food.
"That's why Americans gain weight."
I've never felt so proud of my fat.
*Hugs self*
You shouldn't be proud the US is an anomaly and the world doesn't not have the resources to replicate in the rest of the world your fattening farting way of life
@Dfg Sdfg I hear you but they weren't 300 hundred millions in a wasteful industrialized country, most of those peasant died relatively young for our standards and child dead was a common affliction, I can stock up more arguments against your peasant analogy but I think you can get the point
Geo Nif Gahaha you act as if your society is of perfection. Human behavior is a matter of circumstance, and I assure you any society being put in our position would likely be similar in nature. Just imagine your country as diverse as the US culturally and ethnically, these problem of obesity, opposing parties, flawed democracy, power projection, etc... is nearly because they were either given the opportunity, or happened to be the ones where it most likely would have happened.
Gotta remember we citizens of the states are from Europeans. And those Europeans absolutely fucked over the native population and have done so much blasphemy ever since the beginning of civilization.
So if you are trying to compare, you are just embarrassing yourself. Comparing populations is a nasty and irresponsible thing to do. Don’t think you are any better then us because you don’t have x problem or such, we are all equal in the general sense of humanity. But media loves to brainwash people into thinking Americans are some type of disgrace or terrible people. You just like to prioritize ours, as we could just as easily prioritize yours, and make fun of your society and blast on your problems as easily as you can blast on ours. Keep in mind everyone from the old world are “Americans,” (since we aren’t truly “Americans”) so you are really just making fun of yourself, stop being a damn hypocrite.

"Try the brisket"
*eats it
*eyes start watering
I always tear up a little when seeing peoples' heartfelt reactions experiencing something different and new for the first time, especially when you see them excited about it. ❤️
That woman's face when she tried the brisket... my heart melted!
Onihikage ikr I would marry that bitch
9:20
Same 😣
Imagine seeing her face when she first ate all she wanted when she escaped.
Onihikage i died as soon as the guy after showed up saying the same thing with a straight face LOL
As a native Kansan, I want to thank Gates for supporting this project. This is the way humans ought to be treating one-another -with compassion, understanding, education, and food.
No Gates, then no Kansas City in this video. Joe's and AB weren't interested.
OK I am confused. "We have Gates from Kansas City, Missouri" @ 1:50
+James Ahrens I think you interpreted my sentence wrong. If Gates hadn't been involved, there would have been no one to rep KC.
I'm glad all is well on the comment front.
J Mireles I have never been to Texas! Damn secessionists! Jk. I'd love to get to Austin or just ride dirt bikes or ATVs around the flatland then get some Texas chow with a cutie, ya know...love.
17:24. thats gotta be one of my biggest pet peeves. ill always take food home and finish it the next day if i don’t finish it in the restaurant. I cant imagine what its like thinking that your starving family could eat the food thats being thrown away.
And a lot of restaurants have to go containers. They want you to take the food to go. Less trash to throw out and less work to pay for
Apparently outside of the US it’s not as common to take home leftovers
That is a difference between a lot of Europe/Asia and the USA, it's more unusual for people NOT to take their leftovers home from restaurants in the US. Our country is still hugely wasteful, but Americans generally don't have that stupid, snooty attitude about leftovers (besides if i paid $30+ for my entree by gawd I'm not gonna eat $19.97 worth and toss the rest)
My heart fluttered when they said Rudy’s from Texas
Hello fan is me Keanu reeves how are you doing⚘⚘I really love and appreciate your comment. Nice to meet you🙋 and where are you from❤💖
"Why is this bottle bigger than the rest?"
Here is comes....
"everything is bigger in Texas"
YAAAAAS
@John Are you dumb? Our GDP is very high, the second highest state GDP in fact. Public transport is useless because the state is so large. Nothing wrong with the education either. We also have the largest medical center in the world, along with cutting edge technology for treating cancer, etc. We have NASA, we have almost every fortune 500 oil company, and the list goes on. You need to focus on your brains and not Texas' you narcissist.
@John
Texas has some pretty legit colleges and changing the public transportation in Texas is almost pointless, since there aren't many people who use it.
Please don't lie through your teeth about us.
Thanks!
@John Well howdy partner, you sound a lil' salty ayy?
@John Best to keep your mouth shut and have everyone think you're a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.
LOL!!
**turns to camera**
_"Everything's bigger in Texas."_
I heard a resounding "hell yeah" from the other side of the country, every viewer in Texas watching at the same exact moment
damn right
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
/ Snow I definitely said “hell yeah brother”
When he said why its bigger, i (without hesitation) said:BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS, YEEYEE
I’ve never been to Texas but just as an American I was proud af to hear that 😂
I laughed when they showed the sauces on the table the Texas sauces were ginormous! We live up to it every time. Also I really enjoyed this video. It humbles me to see people enjoying the food that we take so much for granted. Thank you for this. Much love from Texas!
As an American, it makes me smile so big seeing this. We can’t take away the pain they suffered in NK but I’m very happy that we can bring them smiles from our food.
Does anybody else notice the people are so extremely nice and friendly and proper?
it's their Confucianist, collectivist upbringing
anomaly.dab In general, most North Korean citizens are kind and warm-hearted people. Even North Korean defectors will back that up. Its the people who work for the government or in some sort of way connected to the gov't are the ones you need to avoid. When I visited Seoul, i met my friends who are from the North and they would happily tell me everything about North Korea. I figured they'd be sick of people asking but everything is so completely different that they would oblige in telling you about it lol. Don't be fooled by what the news tells you, that every single person from North Korea wants death to the western world when its only the governent and the higher ups of the people. The ordinary citizen, in the end, wants the two Koreas to reunify. The gov't on the otherhand does not want reunification. Simply because they'll quickly lose power from the South, the people will oust 'em once they completely figure out how technologically inferior and how completely bad they have it compared to their Southern counterpart, and the fact that they've been lying to their people since their inception lol.
Or maybe they're just nice people. Who would invite a dickhead on a show lol
It's just kinda odd that they're just so extremely nice, they just seem like really good speakers, they're extremely nice and very proper.
Had dinner with Pilju a few times, super nice guy. I'd say him and Minho are even pure.
As a Native Texan, I am very proud to see that my state's bottle is the largest on the table.
Was raised on Rudy's growing up and now live out of state. I make it a point to eat there at least once every time I visit home. Made me smile watching this!
As a Texan i smiled seeing our bottles being bigger and said of course they did
Same
As korean, having Taxas og bbq in local is in my wishlist
Before I moved to Austin, I worked at the Rudy's commissary (this was back in 2002 - 2004 or so) offa I-10 north of San Antonio (out by La Cantera and the Dominion) - where we made all the brisket, chicken, turkey, beans, cream corn, and so on. I was hired by Doc Hollywood despite showing up an hour late - nicest guy I ever met (and worked with), and didn't hold it against me that I was covered in tire dirt because I'd had a flat tire on the way there and had to change it.
Best part of working there was the food. And even on my off days I'd comp pulled brisket (came with a loaf of bread) and sides for me and my friends, almost every week. Food was great (assume still is). Still remember how to make it all (and do when I BBQ).
The reactions of pure joy are something interesting to watch... It is amazing how people can be when they don't have alot of food and go somewhere that hands them a massive amount of food when they order and are shocked at how good it is. Makes you feel good when you see other people happy
I liked this video! I'm from Texas and it was a real honor to see them enjoy a good meal and friendly conversation with a friend! In Texas that's all we need!
Girl: *enjoys brisket without sauce*
Texans: *HAPPINESS SOUND*
Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaa!
Im just glad their enjoying life now like it should be while mr fat leader in north korean starveing his citizens
True! When i saw she enjoys it without sauce, this little texan girl was so happy to see that.
that's how we do it in Texas!!
LMAO right now. Was watching this just out of curiosity and my roommate (from Austin) literally just jumped out of our couch and stood screaming, "That's what's up!! She knows her sh*t!! Arrgghh makes me proud to be from Texas!!" My gf and I can't sstop laughing. Being a korean-american, I'm just glad she gets to eat some real food!
"Why is this one (BBQ sauce) bigger than the rest?"
"Because, everything is bigger in Texas."
*Your damn right everything is bigger in Texas, I grew up there. Best state for BBQ.*
TheLegend27 YEEE YEEEEE
TheLegend27 if you split my state in half, Texas would be the third largest state.
Alaska is much bigger than Texas, pal.
TheLegend27 I've been to Texas and fuck yea (I hate living in California)
Memphis BBQ>
Oh my Goodness. Can we just pause to acknowledge how truly sweet they all are? They are so earnest and thoughtful. I don't know. Maybe I'm a crybaby, but their innocent delight in something that can be so mundane to us had me in tears🥺. Watching their delight gave me the same feeling I get when I give my son a gift I know he really wants💓.
I love seeing people get smiles on their face. They escaped literally hell and now get to enjoy amazing food. I love it!
damn when the lady wearing the red shirt started talking about how north koreans can often be mistaken as bad people, it was kind of heart breaking. you just know she, and the others, have been through some serious shit.
Yeah, listening to her talk about when it is okay to be a cow was just inconceivable... Very moving video. I eat beef at least once per week (incoming heart attack RIP)
@@Ryokishine Beef once per week is considered less than average in America man. With the amount of cheap fast food we have, yeah, beef is eaten on average 3-4 times per week for the standard american. Mostly ground beef
@@Ryokishine depends how you eat it
ནꦎ༩꧞ꦫꦍ As an American, I believe it’s because we consume a lot of beef on average compared to other countries. If I drive 5 minutes from my house there is a McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Arby’s all located next to each other. We typically eat beef at the very least twice a week.

And an equal petition to send every lover of communism to North Korea, including communist-leaning socialists, to eat dogs and send in rations of fur. Seriously. I have no idea why anyone would support ideologies that have proven time and time again to lead to destruction.
Honestly we should treat them as former slaves and give them complete re-education. I feel so badly for them and when I start making 65K+ here in a year or two, I will help them out however I can. Who is harder working than a person who is completely new to the world. North Koreans are so capable and motivated, they are the perfect employees with just a bit of training.
14:08 lol, I'm Native from Canada and love the reactions ... love these people.
Fantastic. All of them are such nice people! I'm so glad they are not in NK anymore. Such a cool concept of American style bbq made in SK then enjoyed with American sauce. I have no doubt Sweet Oak makes some damn fine bbq. Very cool video.
Kim Jong-un made 1,018 separate accounts to dislike this video
Haha, I would not even think anyone could dislike this video. I guess Iam still naive idiot.
They probably thought it was like the Buzzfeed ones, which are completely fake.

People who have gone through hardships know how to appreciate all the small things in life. Great video
Americans: How do Asian people always stay so thin?
Koreans: I don't like bread.
....oh
Well uhhh we like to eat a TONS of rice tho. Rice is sooo easy to make you fat kinda.
Rice is an Asians bread, Tortillas are a Hispanics bread
North Korean! South Korean they eat a bread at least once a day
Vietnamese also eat bread. Well, some of them are, indeed, fat.
@@ferchango6359 tortillas are still bread though lol
I don't know how I got here, but I was smiling the whole time.
The young girl who took a bite of that brisket killed me, that smile was one of the most wholesome things I've ever seen. Pls protect.
I loved that she was given the title of "Honorary Texan."
Agreed 100%
But she's been there for 9 years. Find it hard to believe she hasn't tried some. Still in poverty perhaps.
@@edwardkay3193 I doubt there's many American style bbq restaurants in SK, and idk if she is still in poverty because it did say she came over at 12, which is early enough for her to get into school and start learning to maybe go to college, depends on how NK primary education is i guess, although i don't see it as being anything stellar but maybe their low end education in things like math and language classes for writing are decent but are less good the higher you go. Even if she's poor she probably considers herself a millionaire compared to most others in NK.
And she had the right brisket instincts too. :D
Omg Rachel's face when she first tried brisket was so precious.
Imagine never getting to eat meat and then having your first brisket
Bog Meat I wish I could take my first bite of brisket again lmao
@@dragonsember Absolutely, office I work in has a few Chinese immigrants, they always ask the boss so they can try more things.
@@752reaper It must be quite an experience, suddenly having so much freedom and access to things you wouldn't have been able to comprehend.
She lit up
I love the lady in the red. She has the attitude of a woman who has seen a lot of adversity but channels it thru humor and character.
I love when he looked into the camera when he said "everything is big in texas" lol!
This video really made me smile. When the guy said he felt honored for trying the new alabama sauce i almost got teary eyed. Makes me realize i take a lot for granted.
Edith Rosas Me too!!
They actually had a great sens of humour despite all they went through
Edith Rosas hey shawty
yeah I seem to have gotten something in my eye
It's crazy how much we Americans take for granted
The young girls face with the brisket is the face of pure joy
>dad
EleGiggle
Verlisify What could she have been thinking?
That made me smile and broke my heart at the same time.
Verlisify it's perfect. i watched that moment 5 times.
Verlisify
I kinda shed a tear during that moment. I was mostly envoys because that brisket.... but it was a happy tear as well, she looked like all was right in the world.
This touched my heart. I hope that one day Korea will be United. I'm so happy that they enjoyed the food. From my family to yours we send you will wishes and support
I’m from Asheville. Needless to say I was shocked to hear the guys from the restaurant I’d eat at between classes were in this video ahah!
Next time you go, tell the owners you saw the video! They're great people
"With sauce you can't really taste the smokiness"
OMG THIS GIRL GETS IT! 😭
The way i see it sauce is a way to hedge your bets if your bbq isn't as good also it mixes the flavor up a bit if you wanna try something different
@@forbidden-cyrillic-handle i you sure it wasn't burned because at a certain point it it carbonizes into charcoal and it will likely taste that way you know if theirs to much char on it even a little bit meaty charcoal can ruin a dish because of how it tastes
Also when did you let your kid lick coal? Also smoke with wood if you want wood smoke flavor
Also also i ran out of facts to spew out
semi randomly good day.
I could not believe how astute that girl was with that observation. I'm from Texas and when I see people slather brisket in sauce (including my own wife, who prefers Sissy Sause), I just die a little inside.
people new to barbecue understand how not to fuck it up, because the people who fuck it up grow up with it that way
2:08 “Have you seen anything like this?”
*”Only in movies”*
That hits me hard
Well, I could say the same buddy, and I'm european. We don't have that kind of smoked BBQ around here.
Tony, the stark lol me too
For me, it's only from yt
As a Mexican, I can say the same about high school: here we don't have yellow buses, lockers, cheerleaders, football teams, dinning room, etc.
@@MasterGeekMX same here in Brazil. Kids at schools always dream about having lockers in their school lol, but it's just a silly thing because they see them in American movies.
Being from Alabama, let me just say that the white sauce is DIVINE with chicken!! A lot of people snub their nose at “white BBQ sauce”. Don’t knock it till you try it!!!
Love the purity of these people! May God bless every aspect of their lives 🙏🏻♥️
i love watching people trying good food from other countries! watching them enjoy it warms my heart as a foodie myself!
These young people were so refreshingly humble. I will never forget it. The world has promise as long as these young people live in its present.
Yes because they know that they could have it much worse. Most young people dont know and dont even know what being humble and being grateful is..
Mike Jardin but they use to hate us lol
@@buffy8021 They used to hate us purely because that's what they were raised to think.
If nobody ever raised you to eat with a fork (and the only things you were taught about using a fork was negative), you wouldn't use one. Everything relates to experience.
The difference is that they were taught other perspectives and that's just one mild comparison.
That being said, we need to do the same in reverse. One culture can't just learn about another, it has to go both ways.
When the lady at the end talked about wasting food and taking leftovers home, I completely get that. I feel terrible whenever I throw any food away. And I take the leftovers home as well. I don't give a shit if I'm at the nicest steakhouse on the planet, I am taking my damn leftovers home with me.
yeh same my family will take stuff home. even if we have just a tiny bit of something like rice after being at a chinese restaurant or a bit of sauce after being at an indian one, we always pack it up and then add it to a later meal :) never waste food
bonus story: when i was in elementary school, my mom helped out with halfday classroom lunches. once she saw someone throw away a full untouched apple and got really upset and told me about it later and how inexplicably wasteful it was
@@isabelv483 No one cares.
@@alext8020 Apparantly you cared enough to comment.
On the rare occasion I order out, It usually takes me 3 meals to finish a dish. BTW I only eat in a restaurant about twice a year, as people that I eat with are commenting about how little I eat.
Fuck off edgy bitch
“It’s a little dry” we got a food expert on our hands lmao
Just goes to show as Americans we should not take for granted our freedom and the bountiful things this great country provides.
"I hope the two Koreas become united so the people up north can try this too."
I also wish for Kim Jong Un to conquer South Korea
I was just quoting the person from the video.
THe problem is the north would never let that happen unless they were defeated
Tyler Ross Food is what brings the world together.
I don't think that will ever happen
Lets give it up for our host who sat down and had multiple meals with the same meat and sauce just to treat these North Koreans to their first American meal.
As a pure bred American I can guaran-damn-tee you that we would sit through that any day of the week. Can never eat too much smoked meat.
A true hero
I'd take one for the team too!!!!
@@wanderinwolf3804 as a texan i concur, im so hungry right now after watching this lol
I think anyone would take that hit.
I absolutely love this. To see their expressions when they see the things we take for granted every day. To hear their stories. There's so much more than food being presented here.
The smug look he gave the camera when he got to explain about everything being big in texas 🤣
''When it comes to food, I think it's better to eat things together.'' Wise words my friend
Dank Bleach that was prob my fav part. It is so true haha I'm doing a BBQ today as well. ❤ I'll be thinking about that when I'm shoving my face wity food lolol
Dank Bleach Mamika!!!!! Re:Creators! If anyone has seen that show this anime season
that dude made me sad, like they all have experienced terrible things but he still doesnt seem too adjusted
I think Mamika said it's best to eat together with someone... she was just making instant curry. Also we're veering off topic now xD
Snova Yeah 😂
A lot of foreigners have a hard time trying to eat food with chopsticks for the first time, it's interesting to see it the other way around
chickensaurusrex711 No no no, the country would not allow them to use 'western' utensils. They did teach them about it, however the word they used was a "pitchfork" rather than a "fork" to make it seem bad. Thus, they don't have much experience in the utensil. I don't quite understand your point?
Rather than a pitchfork, it'd be more accurate to call it a manure fork.
"True pitchforks typically have only two or three tines, while manure forks have four or more tines"
blisteringberries lmao...im asian i cant use chopstick...its just a personal thing i guess......
chickensaurusrex711 Of course they were taught that; it's not like the farmers are out there plowing 40 acres with a couple pool cues.
Heck, after being stationed in South Korea for 3 years, coming back to the US and being given a fork and no option for a spoon and chopsticks felt really weird.
As a chef i love videos like this! when you try something brand new and just feel like you've been missing out! I love it
Such beautiful people. So appreciative and humble. God Bless them with an abundant life and opportunities.

Exactly what I was thinking hearing their stories. It's so awesome to see them finally be able to experience something they've never had thats as simple as food choices.
I totally agree with you
Lmfao, yeah dude eating meat is a privileged. Major sarcasm for the slow ones.
John what are you on about?
@John Your sarcasm is hilarious. But just in case if you were serious you are delusional.
15:35 - "I thought it was the ice cream man" hahaha im dying.
This is one of the encouraging shows I've seen from the impact on those good people. Thanks for getting out and welcome home.
It saddens me that a whole country of beautiful people, are basically in jail, just for being born there.
Wtf?

ShariSez1 wym FOX lies? Lol libtard socialism is way closer to communism
I really liked the woman in the red. She is so wise and I could listen to her story’s for a long time. I loved that she was so grateful and kind.
Can we be related ? Lol Im nowhere related to Asian but honestly I'd visit her all the time if she was where I lived
You mean you could read her story for a long time
She has been on on a TV show in the US. I don't remember which one though.
：０
Her last line was the hope that the Koreas could be unified so that all could try BBQ. That's very profound and I also think I could listen to her all day. :)
Im British, living in America. My grandparent lived during the fallout and shortage after ww2, they taught me to expect the unexpected, to be resourceful and NEVER waste food. Even if you dont need that food taken from a resturant then someone on your walk home will. There is no shame in being hungry, they learned to work together and share and most importantly PREP, always have a few months food and water on hand and prep for more than that if the lives of your neighbors matter to you. I will live and die by that code, Im 35
I really love all of these people. They are so sweet and humble. I’d be happy to share my neighborhood with any of them ❤️ And of course invite them over for dinner and BBQ’s
As an American, it's hard to express how good this video makes me feel. I love to see anyone experience good BBQ for the first time but then you add the fact that these people went most of their lives eating almost no meat and its just amazing to see.
Right? That joyous expression she gives after she took the bite of brisket is so much more powerful knowing where she came from.
I hear what you're saying. Everyone takes pride in their local food culture, so it always feels good to see other people being introduced to and liking your food culture. It's taking pride in sharing a part of your country and culture. It also feels good because America is mostly known as the fast food nation, so it's good to show people that there is more to American cuisine that McDonalds and KFC.
@@alexgomorykeisler3800 I 100% agree with your statement. That said, I had KFC for dinner tonight.
Yes. It’s very gratifying.
Yes, on paper BBQ looks okay but really really good BBQ is almost a religious experience.
Why would South Koreans laugh at that woman for bringing the leftovers home? That's food for the next week, if you go to some restaurants!
Exactly! Americans expect a portion to bring home!
man, we go one further and take the bones for the dogs haha, that's even more embarrassing
I was raised to eat everything on my plate. When I moved to Korea I almost died! The portions were too much. It was explained to me that if you cleaned your plate it meant you had a bad host, they did not give you enough. I learned to leave a little. Bringing food home though? Never. It would look bizarre, like you were homeless. There were several cultural differences like this that really took time for me to accept.
@@Evaese That's not weird, that's just polite! Why not bring your pup a nice treat? You got one!
@@rexmundi3108 Man, I don't care if it's culturally unusual, waste isn't something I'm such a fan of. If you make a huge pot of pasta at home, you're not going to just throw it out once you get done with the supper. You put it in the fridge and bring it for lunch the next day, or you have it if the rest of your family wants a meal you don't like, or you just keep it for a while to eat if you get hungry at an unusual time. Why should it be any different at a restaurant?
16:06 "Its almost like they invented this sauce just for me" Now that was such a sweet and tender (pun intended) line! I love that sense of feeling like something was made just for you, makes life even more special.
Haha! The look at the camera after being able to genuinely say the line about everything is bigger in Texas is awesome!

Ye, it’s the same meme template...
To be fair, some local supermarkets in other countries also don't have mustard because the local cuisine doesn't use it. Like Indonesia, for example.
Okay but I know that the original comment meant it as a joke lol
@@taniamanik2012 No, the original commenter was quoting the woman in red. What's the point of having mustard there if there's nothing you could eat with mustard.

I have been binge-watching these videos all day and I have to say this is really amazing and if I could I really wish I could have like a tour company that took people like the North Koreans and others who have lived in similar situations as theirs and give him like a tour of American culture just to kind of see their reaction. But what y'all are doing is incredibly amazing and I hope you all get to do a million more videos like this.
