What are your thoughts on CLAM CHOWDA and Lobster Roll? :D
They are both super good!
I've lived in the U.S. my entire life and never had a lobster roll! I don't like clams but love clam chowder, so go figure. I love watching you two! I travel a lot (mostly Europe) and you remind me of some great young couples I've met along the way. Kindred spirits. :=)
I live in Connecticut closer to Rhode Island and Mass and being a New Englander love clam chowda and the best way to eat a lobster roll is the buttery ones not with a mayonnaise dressing mix it loses its taste appeal - but then butter compliments any seafood 🧈👍🏻👍🏻
I love clam "chowdah" & lobster rolls. The best lobster rolls I've had are on the coast of Maine. Specifically in the small town of New Harbor. The meat was still a little warm because they cook the lobster to order!
haven't had either but I don't like clams at all and I prefer prawns and crabs over lobsters. I thing lobsters are overrated -.-' but that's just me lol
Bostonian here. It was fun seeing some of the location shots and going “I know where that is!”
Although you were at the waterfront not downtown when having the chowder and lobster roll. And of course it was expensive at the tourist trap that is Quincy Market.
True! Deana pointed that out a couple of times. However, the Chowder was pretty good! Would you say a great lobster roll comes with the mayonaise-type lobster?
Been to Boston to work at the airport Belle Isle is my favorite.
I’ve lived in Boston all my life and I’ve never seen anyone put lemon on a lobster roll
Definitely a tourist trap lol
@@livbirka403 True dat! I guess it can be done. IIRC there can be a bit of lemon juice in mayo, but squeeze a wedge? Nah.
Bonus points for perfect sound even when it's windy.
Okay so I think you guys had a lobster roll that was “Maine” style. Maine style lobster rolls have cold lobster meat with mayonnaise and sometimes lettuce or coleslaw. Connecticut lobster rolls at the ones with warm meat and melted butter. I prefer the 2nd kind but love them both
I have never even heard of Connecticut Lobster Rolls? Maybe in Connecticut you call them Maine style but they are the only style that’s normal 😂 or around
@@Leonkiller-hn2he Connecticut style maybe, but a lobster roll nonetheless. I’m from Michigan but my dad used to have a vacation house in maine so I grew up going there
@@Nintend0n It does sound more appetizing
@@Leonkiller-hn2he You've never heard of Connecticut style lobster rolls? It's the superior lobster roll. I was in the airport in MSP of all places and there was a place that had Connecticut style lobster rolls on the menu.
Finding you guys a couple of days ago was such a great surprise! Fellow Massachussan with a German boyfriend, glad to see Phil is adjusting to USA well! Hope you guys are enjoying the New England fall ☺️
"The most expensive brötchen in the world" is kinda accurate, though. (I lost it at that comment, hahaha.)
Love chowda and lobster rolls. Hard to find in Illinois! But we have Italian beef and deep dish pizza. The doughnuts look awesome. Been a long time since I visited Boston. My ancestors arrived In Massachusetts back in 1637 back when lobsters were cheap. Time for a visit.
My ancestors came in 1631. Most of my family still resides in the Boston area! Clam chowder is easy to make. You can use clams from a can and they also sell bottled clam juice.
When I travelled to Nova Scotia/Canada I had clam chowder EVERY day. So good...
And so good to see you united again :)
I could totally have it every day! :)
Yeah Canada FTW!!!
I watched the video in the morning, saw you guys eat donut makes my self drooling
Boston my favorite city in the world. So many things to do there, such a beautiful modern and classy city with really good and diverse food. Diverse culture, best sports city in the world, clean, organized and many more pros
I grew up in Massachusetts and this made me miss it!!!
If you like seafood you might consider visiting Schleswig-Holstein - you can get very fresh or smoked seafood in just any coastal town, either just off the boat or in the local restaurants.
Guys, I loved your video. I’m a native Bostonian. If you come back, let me know! I have some great spots for lobster and chowder
There was this place on the pier where a lot of celebrities had pictures taken and it looked very old, dark brown wood inside, but it had the best lobster. Just plain and simple.
Thanks so much for sharing the experience!♥️
I loved Boston and their seafood. Also the feeling of history and the sea. So mush atmosphere.
Seems so good ! I've never been to Boston, I think I'll go there next year.
Well shot video, good flavor of the city.
Folks I really enjoy your channel and can't wait for the next video, I am a big fan of clam chowder and the donuts looked so good, especially Boston cream, yummy! Pretty cool take care be safe!👍🤙🤙🤙
I'm so glad you're visiting Boston. I lived there for 8 years & I miss it! If you haven't yet visited the North End - go to Haymarket Station on the Green Line & try the Italian food so I can eat vicariously though you. Also visit North Bennet Street School, the oldest trade school in the nation, where I was once a student. A very cool field trip & I'd love to see it again! Just a few suggestions :) HAVE FUN & enjoy the beautiful weather!
love the into music.. your videos are getting better and betterer.. :)
Omg i'm so hungry right now...4.30am, drunk...why am i watching this ! I drooled so much looking at that chowder and lobster sandwich....
great video! There was a better donut place next to the outside veggie stands you were at...look up Union Sq. Donuts inside the Boston Public Market...soooo good
Boston is great. Next time find time to check out Cambridge too.
Sonntags Geschäfte offen, da gibt es bestimmt täglich ein Video. 🤪🥳😂
I'm always afraid of Deana not getting enough food because of Phil eating it all :D
I'd just rather have crab meat on sourdough. Maybe add some 🥑& a hint of "fleur de sel"
(it tastes better with 🥑 than regular salt) 🦀 Maybe some Old Bay seasoning. Maybe I'm more of a Baltimore/Maryland crab cake fan.
My favorite place evah! I used to work for that green and orange trolley company.
I Love your Videos keep up !!!grüße aus dem schönen NRW
Love seeing you both visit many places. You should visit Canada next!
appreciate the color grading.. looks good!
Boston creme pie is SO good! I'm thankful it isn't just a Boston thing. Lol.
Boston creme pie (which is actually a cake) was created at the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston. That hotel is also where Parker House rolls were created.
I used to travel to MA a lot on business. That area of the country cannot be beat for seafood. I wore out a pair of boots just walking around Boston. Literally. Found out I had relatives in the area all the way back to the 1600s.
My home state! Could’ve walked right by you, I’m at south station all the time.
Aw wish knew you guys were coming (just discovered you this week and have been watching like crazy). I work(ed - pre virus) in the Fanueil Hall area for 8 years, right across from Quincy Market. I wouldn't recommend the market for food, but it's ok to try I guess. The Boston Public Market is the place to go plus you can buy all local goods and gifts. The price honestly wasn't that bad for the food, but there are definitely better lobster rolls out there. Never put lemon on a roll though ugghhhh. Oh and if you are offered a buttered or mayo roll, butter is not typical New England. There are other typical New England foods I'd love to see you try like baked beans and brown bread in a can, oh and maybe a fluffernutter!
Mikes Pastry vs Modern. I'd love to see your thoughts! But, better and for real late night snacks Bova which is also in the North End.
"White creamy stuff and chunks" ... yum!
Nicw video :-) enjoy your trip!
I grew up in the Boston area. You're right, it's VERY expensive. Now I live in Maine. You can get much better chowda and lobsta here!
I agree. Lived up in Yarmouth for a while. Right next to a Pat's Pizza.
Haha.. I am thinking exactly the same about fire escapes. :D
Regional foods in cities outside of places like NYC, Boston or SF are much more reasonably priced.
Go to Gloucester! The Causeway will give seafood that will satisfy you. Kane's Donuts are great, try the Honey-glazed.
Quincy Market is a tourist trap. Don't get me wrong, I think everyone should go once because all the food choice is great. But you will pay more then you would elsewhere, even within the city. With that said, that place you went to has some great chowda! If you are looking for some good lobster rolls, head north of the city and try Rockport, Newburyport, or Ipswitch. Out of all the cities I've been to in the U.S., Boston is still my favorite and I'm glad I'm just 40 miles outside of it!
I know this comment is coming to you much later than when you uploaded it, but I live in the south and Boston cream donuts are all over. In fact that's my favorite donut too! Take care!😊
Hey from NYC. You guys are terrific.
Lobster is currently exported mainly to Asia, so that the supply for the domestic market is becoming increasingly scarce. This explains the price. In the early 90's you could eat lobster in Massachusetts for very little money! But at least you should try it now! Intensive lobster fishing and global warming are likely to lead to the extinction of the lobster by the year 2100 ...
Boston creme use to be my favorite. Now my favorite is Apple Fritters. It's crazy the way taste buds change
Boston cream has always been my favorite hands down! 😎
You can get Boston Cream anywhere especially in Canada at Tim Horton's.......for many years. However, these doughnuts are massive.
Down here in Florida we call that thar clam chowder, New England style. The locals of Minorcan descent have one that is served at restaurants locally “Minorcan clam chowder”. It’s tomato based with a shot of hot sauce if no Datil peppers were available or in season.
I work in that neighborhood. Go to Kane's all the time. Cheers.
I know it's expensive, but the Duck tour is so fun.
Hey im niklas im from bayern (schwaben) and i Really like your vids you guys are very funny xD Bis später guys wir sehen uns!
5:50 is Union Oyster House. The oldest restaurant in America.
I use live near Boston. Such nice city to visit.
I agree that it's a little bit expensive than in Germany, in Europe in general. :) But it was worth to try it, I'm sure 😊😊 Big greeting from Croatia 😊
Come to Switzerland haha 😆 then you see what is expensive
@@TheMrPasul I was there, and you are right... I paid 0.5l of Natural water around 5 Francks!! 😅😅
I am from Massachusetts and I grew up in Boston. I'm glad you guys had a good time. Regina's pizza by far the best pizza in the state. Next time you come to Boston you should go to a Red Sox game and see the Green Monstah at Fenway Park.
Wow, those are generous portions
If you guys come back to Mass drop me a line. Hubby and I live in Worcester about 50mi West of Boston. He and I are foodies and make it our biz to check out good food spots throughout Ma, RI & CT. Stay Blessed All❤
YOU BOTH ARe so right about the Boston cream doughnuts. They are my favorite and no, one with whipped cream is in no way as good or a substitute.
Man every video I watch of you guys outside of Germany I think how much you guys need to come to Oregon! The Oregon coast has some of THE BEST seafood you'll ever try (Dungeness crab, Oysters, Clams, rockfish, Salmon, Bass, Calamari, etc) . Yes it's better than the east coast! Also Portland restaurants are some of the best in the country. Our food is actually healthy unlike a lot of the cliché "American" foods.
If you don't like ipas it's because you've never tried a "Northwest" IPA.
We have Beautiful mountain ranges. Government camp on Mt. Hood & just Mt. Hood in general is amazing. My favorite pizza place in gov camp is called the ratskeller (very German name).
You guy's would absolutely love Bend Oregon too. Probably one of the best towns in the entire US.
(Besides seafood Oregon also has the best fresh water Salmon, Trout & crawfish) Check out Tillamook cheese factory if you're ever on the coast. Some of the best cheese in the nation.
Hey guys! Love Boston lived there for 2 years before moving out to Seattle. Boston is definitely one of the nicest cities in the US. Personally I don't get the hype on lobster rolls, way too expensive kinda a messy pain to eat and like phil said $5 a little piece haha but a real warm roll with butter is so much better then the salad!
Real Boston cream donuts don't ever have whipped cream or anything else but the yellow vanilla custard!! And I love them!!!
Hi Glad to see you visiting the New England area. Please consider visiting R.I. All the people are generally nice, You can try chowda & clamcakes, There is red chowda (Manhattan style) and also clear.. Beautiful coastline and better prices for food.
Okay...ich muss dringend nach Boston! Wundervoll und absolut mein Essen!
Hey guys are you going to San Francisco?! Fisherman Wharf is a great place to go, lots of fun places to walk, Pier 39, go to the wax museum, Guinness book of of world records museum is fun! Lots to do and all by walking! I think you two would have fun. Alcatraz is cool too.
Go on a cable car for me if you come, never been on one, lived in the area all my life! Weather has been warm here lately so try and come soon😄
You didn't have a lobster roll, you had a lobster salad roll. Glad you enjoyed it anyways. Try a real lobster roll next time.
Lobster roll could be in a toasted New England syle roll (flat sides) and served warm with melted butter or served cold in a mayo based lobster ( or lobstah) salad. My favorite chowdah was at Durgin Park near where you were at Quincy Market but they recently closed after being open since 1827, with much of the same menu all those years. I believe they still have a smaller outlet at Logan Airport. Another go to is the nearby Union Oyster House which has been in business even longer.
I love Boston, I love the history, but most of all the Italian North End restaurants, outside of New York best Italian food in the USA. Food is cheaper away from touristy joints
the question on my mind, and I'm sure everybody else's mind, is where does the lobster roll fall on the Preis-Leistungsverhältnis? and where then also falls the clam chowder? :) From Phil's sounds of concern over Deana's dropping any pieces of meat, I'd guess perhaps not to far up the ratio/index for the roll :) I'm not a big fan of either, but the lobster rolls I had in Ogunquit Maine were pretty good!
Luv clam New England chowda as well as lobster rolls. I was blown away when I was in Maine and got a lobster roll in a McDonalds. Actually not too bad, crazy.
Stuff is always way more expensive at popular tourist sites, but lobster is expensive anyway, and imo, nothing to go crazy over. Taste like shrimp only tougher. I love clam, chowder though
Phil has now Boston-VERBOT! XD XD XD
haha, yeah...they kicked me out.
When are you two going to Japan to experience Shinjuku Golden Gai? Noodles and sushi galore!!!!!!
A good chowder like that is amazing, and it’s pretty old world European style, except it has clam in it, the one you were talking about, did it have ham or bacon in it? I don’t remember where I tried it, or what it was called, but was an almost similar cream based chowder, but had a little bacon and some more savory type of ham. And leeks in it. Was great. Was pretty much a potato chowder, just different name.
Great DKM reference!
Love both lobstah rolls and clam chowdah, but you can get much better and less expensive out away from the large cities. Usually roadside stands will have excellent chowder and rolls for about a third of what you paid there.
I live in Boston (I love it!) and my favorite lobster rolls are in nearby Maine. Also, since you mentioned that you expected it to be more "buttery", there are two types of lobster rolls: Cold = the lobster is mixed w/ mayonnaise, Warm = the lobster is mixed with warm butter. I like both but many people tend to have a preference of one over the other. I know Deana already knows this, but Washington D.C and Boston are two expensive U.S. cities, I hope Phil knows that small or medium cities, especially those in the South or Midwest are much less expensive.
I too prefer the butter version. It is often called Connecticut style..
In Maine, huh? I heard that... apparently you all float down there ;)
Cheers from Germany!
You must check out Portland or Seattle, if you’re still around the States.
Portland Maine? Because that's a great place.
If they want to hang out with antifa
There are two types of lobster rolls. The cold creamy, like what you had, and then the warm with drawn butter.
Boston cream alway. I'm obsessed with clam chowder. Love it most with dough bread or sourdough bowl. I'm not impressed with lobster roll. Just found out in different state they make it warm.
greetings from germany/magdeburg enjoy your trip.
Love your vids!😊
you need to come new orleans louisiana
One day I'll go to Boston lol glad ya'll had fun should visit us in texas one day!
oh man, I (Phil) wanna go to Texas so badly!!
@@DeanaandPhil we live in new Braunfels big German community here i think phil would fit right in
Lobster Rolls? Go to Maine, to a little seaside wharf stand.
You need to get Connecticut Lobster Rolls. They’re warm and are made with lobster chunks and butter, salt and pepper. Done and delicious!
I love a great Clam Chowder. You needed a warm bread roll with fresh cold butter. Dip it in the steaming hot chowder,yummy. Lots of fresh cracked black pepper in the Clam Chowder can be good. It’s an Irish thing ‘black pepper’. Keeps you young and healthy. Want to live into your 90’s? Black Pepper and onions.
Large cities food costs so much more. Then the restaurant rent / overhead is so much higher. So much cheaper in the boonies where I live. Though the costs are going up with the high rate of inflation we have now for 'some' reason. The beef / pork I get is so much cheaper out here. Then I go right to a meat market butcher shop. Only a 6 mile drive from my house. The cattle / hogs come from their farm or ones nearby. Guessing you would be bored out here - takes 10 or 15 minutes tops to go from one side of town to the other. Take care - thank you for the video. I am watching your older videos.
I'm from Boston. I would have gone to Union Oyster House (which I saw in the background at some point - it's on the way from Quincy Market to the North End) or Legal Sea Foods. Union Oyster House, which is the oldest continuously operated restaurant in the U.S., has my favorite clam chowdah and ;). I prefer just straight up real whole lobster, shell and all. Don't cover that delicious taste with mayo. Boil it, crack it open and dip it in butter and/or lemon juice. Simplicity is usually best. I think lobster rolls are more of fast food way to sell lobster.
If you ever do boil whole lobsters: After eating the claws, tail and legs, simmer the whole remainder in a tomato sauce. It gives the sauce such a unique, almost sweet delicious taste. You're welcome.
Also for pizza, go to Pizzeria Regina in the Italian North End. There's about 100 years of pizza aroma embedded in the woodwork. You don't even need to eat; just go in and sniff the deliciousness.
My avator is a photo of myself eating clam chowder on a Washingon State ferry. It's a tradition, and it gets more expensive every visit. Unfortunately my German husband is not as open to seafood as Phil, and won't eat it. I even fried some lobster tails for us last visit and he just sees it as another fishy taste.
Boston is my favorite east coast city. We toured 13 east coast states for our honeymoon and Boston was the very best - the creaky history mixed in with modern classiness, and the water right there.
If anyone knows where I can get canned clams in Germany, please let me know. I don't need them fresh or in the shell. Canned works fine for making home made New England clam chowder. I've never seen clams in a grocery store in Germany. Nor crab, nor lobster. Not even at the fish trucks! Even mussels are hard to find, last time I paid 1 Euro *per* mussel!
Of the two foods I miss most from home (Mexican and good seafood), I suffer most from the lack of fresh lobster, crab and clams here. I can manage to make my own Mexican, but where do you get a lobster?
Whuuuuut ?? 😱 okay come to belgium, go to any store here and you can get mussels anywhere. Lobster is only available in big stores or good seafood stores or at the coast. Or at christmas season. Because lobster is not as common here as it is in Maine and New England, so while lobster there is like our surimi sandwich spread (fake crab), over here it's still quite expensive and only the upper class people eat it on a regular basis. But mussels are bountiful at the northsea. Also clams are available in my supermarket in town but only 2 small packages compared to 20 large and XL packages of mussels, so that's really for foodies and seafood lovers.
I love a good New England Clam Chowder. For lobster rolls, they are just OK. In my opinion, there are far tastier ways to eat lobster then to put it on a hotdog bun with majonnaise
I'm actually shocked you got such a decent looking lobster roll at Faneuil Hall but get whole lobsters instead next time. And it's expensive because you're in the heart of tourist Boston but that's okay... because it's still beautiful and fun!!!
try paul's in the northend of boston
JT Hook & Co. is where you go for lobster rolls.
You guys were about a 7min walk from there.
Love Quincy market and the Big E, just hate the traffic of Boston.
Pumpkin one and bacon ooooonneeeee
I’m with you guys. I think eating out is expensive. I went to just Burger King and a Whopper.which is just a Burger is $6.69! WTF?! I make and cook most of my food. I’m grateful I had good cooks growing up and I leaned to watch and cook myself.... Clam Chowder is the Best. Enjoy your videos. Phil is very cute. Maybe I should find a German Man to date.
I love new england clam chowder and I'm not even a fan of seafood. There is also Manhattan clam chowder which I have never tried
Come to Fort Worth Texas and try our BBQ!!!
Would love to! :)
In Wisconsin we call that a Bavarian Creme Donut
My only lobster roll was in Charlottetown Prince Edward Island, Canada.
NH makes the best lobsta rolls.
