Mike’s suggestion of making a cocktail classy by putting a flower on it reminds me of my friends who insists that a cocktail isn’t a cocktail if it doesn’t come with a little umbrella. 😂
@@SortedFood haha. I find them (and all other decorative toppings for drinks) usually quite annoying. They somehow always end up poking me in the face. 😂
This reminds me of what someone said wich was 'most fancy food are fancy because it has a large crustation somewhere on (preferably on top) the plate, neverminding if its good or not'

Of all the sorted videos Jamie seems in his element in the series in the Southern States. He takes to us like a duck to water when he visits us here in the south.
To this day I giggle every time a member of Sorted says "But first..." Picturing Ben and Jamie entering the restaurant hopping backwards. Father time can make me grow older, but he can't make me grow up.
As a wayward Scot living in Texas, I LOVED this series. So much good food to be had here, and even better people to meet. Kicking myself that I didn't get to run into you lads when you were in DFW!
Fairs and festivals are such a phenomenal way to experience American culture. They're truly one of our most wonderful traditions imo. Their only purpose is just to exist to the community can come and enjoy being together and I think that's wonderful
I will never get tired of seeing Jamie kick his heels together! Jamie's definitely going to win for trimming meat! Round Rock donuts look phenomenal! That donut was bigger than their heads! 1200 food trucks sounds like a challenge that I want to try to best! Those drinks by Ricardo sound delicious!! Now I wanna try their cocktails too! Watching them enjoying the various cuisines made me hungry! Barry saying breathing is important and he plans to inhale his! Ben will apparently do anything for wine! OMG, AMAZING PRIZE! Maybe they'll bring a doggie-bag home for the losers! Watching them relish every bite from Uchiko was an experience! Texas bbq risotto sounds amazing! Thanks Guys, for showing us why everyone should also want to experience Texas, especially Austin!
I love how the crew got to be part of the end. I hope they got to experience the good food and wine too. I've never been to Texas and I love seeing it through your experiences. Thank you and I look forward to next year's destination
Because there's also a massive Belgian population, and many of the founding families were first-generation immigrants from Belgium. That's the thing with American cities, they're usually founded by two or three populations of immigrants looking for a place to call thier own.
I love these travel/food trip vids. They are so great every time! Would love to see you guys head north to Canada and explore the food scene in Montreal & Toronto!
Jamie is just right at home, especially in Dallas and Austin!! I’d love to see more trips to the US! I believe you guys went to the West Coast but I haven’t seen any videos yet, I’m gonna go looking for them!
So Canada next? 😊 Beavertails (NOT what you think), poutine, some amazing Indigenous chefs doing very cool things with traditional ingredients and modern techniques
Ever since Lost & Hungry your travel content has consistently been some of my favorite videos on TH-cam and this series is no different. Uchiko looked absolutely delicious
When we were stationed in San Antonio our favorite event of the year was the Texas Folklife Festival, a huge celebration of all the people groups who made Texas. Music, dancing, activities, and food from every imaginable culture- a great memory from our time in Texas.
I love when you do series like this....they are my absolute favorite. I enjoy seeing the people, the scenery, and especially the food. My mouth watered all the way through this episode. Thanks for taking us along on your wonderful journey.
Really loved this Texan adventure! I learned lots of things, find many new to try when I visit it and had plenty of laugh. Perfect way to end a week guys!
Oh this was such a great video! It really looked like y'all had a wonderful time. It's lovely to see that even after all these years y'all are still so grateful for the adventures y'all have and are always open-minded and excited about what y'all come across!
@@SortedFood Glad you guys had fun here. Was a fun episode to watch, and yes, Round Rock Donuts are epic -- and so is Uchiko. It remains one of my fondest memories, taking my mother there for her birthday and having the omakase.
If any of you Sorted guys ever make it back to Austin I’d be more than happy to take you around to some of my favorite spots. I’ve lived here all 43yrs of my life so I’ve got more than a few regular favorites.
Have been WAITING to see them roll into Austin! All of these places are amazing and I've been lucky enough to visit most of them in my time there. Love it all, Keep it Weird 🫡🫡
15:37 ... Founded by German .. why is the Belgian flag waving there ? Germany = Black Red Yellow Belgium = Black Yellow Red Later I do see a German flag, but this is just too hilarious. Great video, great series. Loved every moment of it !
@@LucasGeniar Considering the number of people online (probably including many IN Texas) who confuse the Cuban flag with the Texas state flag, Texas having a problem with flags is a joke with *layers*!
Y'all should definitely come to Oregon!!! Portland, Salem, Newport, and Corvallis all have phenomenal food! And heck, as local foodies, we'd be thrilled to show y'all some of our faborite local spots!
FYI In the UK the Butchers cut is Onglet or "Hanger Steak" and that's purely because there is only 1 per cattle. Looks like you guys had a great time out there, and I've enjoyed this series immensely.
So the fact you all went to Austin, Round Rock, Fredericksburg and McDade was fascinating. There’s still more to experience in Texas. Hope you make it back soon. Ren Faire, Wineries, Breweries, Food, Music. You haven’t seen it all.
I was just in visiting Austin from the east coast this past weekend and Loro is so good and relatively affordable for the quality of food, I'll have to hit some of these other spots the next time I'm there!
Next year you should plan on coming out to Albuquerque for Balloon Fiesta! You will have a blast! Just get reservations in very early! First through second full weekends of October!
Jamie, I work for a German-based company and when I have visited, I notice that even there, the day that the company canteen serves the sausage plate is everyone's favorite. It's also 3 sausages there, but one is a currywurst, and it's served on a huge plate of chips. I laugh now when they say American portion sizes are huge.
YAY So glad you actually got to do Austin! Been living in Austin for 28 years and I was worried you weren't going to make it since you hit all the other major cities. SO GLAD you made it to Round Rock Donuts, too! Definitely best classic donuts ever.
If you’re ever in the mood for a trip to Minnesota (during the summer), you HAVE to check out The Logging Camp in Park Rapids. It’s an all you can eat experience on the Crow Wing River. It used to be an actual loggers’ camp. Where loggers would ride the chopped trees down the river (think Paul Bunyan) to the saw mills. It’s AMAZING food, fun, kitschy vibe , and someplace I’ve gone every summer of my life (other than lockdown), with grandparents, cousins, and now my own kids. 10/10 we look forward to it every year.
I grew up in Round Rock and I knew y’all were going to get that donut! Also, for all of you that don’t know, the rock that they showed in the intro to the RR section is THE round rock that the city is named after.
This summer was particularly hot, hottest ever in Austin. Since they went to the Watermelon Festival, that's early July so it was probably 100+ every day.
@@ericaschner3283yup I wouldn't doubt it! I've lived here all my life and yet every year I'm still surprised by how hot it gets haha. I always think to myself, it's not usually this bad, is it?!
I’m glad you boys enjoyed my home state. You need to come back to Dallas at some point though and really explore the city and surrounding areas such as my hometown of Mesquite, a city named after a popular bbq wood.
Mike’s suggestion of making a cocktail classy by putting a flower on it reminds me of my friends who insists that a cocktail isn’t a cocktail if it doesn’t come with a little umbrella. 😂
Love those little umbrella's 😂
@@SortedFood haha. I find them (and all other decorative toppings for drinks) usually quite annoying. They somehow always end up poking me in the face. 😂
Threw in not one, but two garnishes for good measure 😂 flower and pineapple
This reminds me of what someone said wich was 'most fancy food are fancy because it has a large crustation somewhere on (preferably on top) the plate, neverminding if its good or not'
At least it's not "a cocktail isn't a cocktail if it doesn't have a tail feather of a male chicken" 😂
Very lovely to see how proud Ben is of Jamie when he performed well on the bavette challenge. #FriendshipGoals
Have to admit we thought Ben would definitely win that ! We’ll done Jamie 👏🏻 they are just such a fantastic group of guys
Great series! Now we need Sorted Down Under! Australia's food scene is fantastic!
That would be SO MUCH FUN!

You guys have become my Top Gear of food content. Love these longer episodes.
What a fantastic opportunity you all had. A memory that will never leave and a beautiful conversation to tell friends.
What a fun trip! It felt so refreshing even though it was just me watching everyone be chaotic in charming surroundings.
So glad you enjoyed it Pokhraj, thanks for watching!
I love how the crew got to be part of the end. I hope they got to experience the good food and wine too. I've never been to Texas and I love seeing it through your experiences. Thank you and I look forward to next year's destination
This series has really been a wonderful experience! Please guys consider doing a Texan themed pass it on and/or battle soon! while is all fresh!
No because if you actually listen you understand that they can’t just replicate it
My husband and I sometimes refer to food good enough to dance in your seat as”wiggle food.”
Ben found wiggle food.
Founded by Germany but have Belgium flag! That is so funny. Even I started to questioned myself 😂😂😂
i noticed the same.
Feels symbolic of how loose a lot of Americans' claims to "heritage" seems to be
I saw it too. o/
matches the weiner on the menu

As a Texan I am so happy yall were able to come enjoy my state.
Ben and Mike are super lucky, Uchiko is AMAZING
The pretzel that Jamie was holding. Man, that thing looks amazing. I would love to get one of those with some beer cheese.
Garlic bread flavored pretzel with a chimichurri dipping sauce.
I love beer cheese so dang much.
Yea, that doesn't look German, like, not at all

Cool to see the Round Rock donut again, I remember that from one of my favourite Man vs Food episodes
Their donuts are epic 😋

Texas loves you too! Come back any time now!
25:06 Absolutely fabulous!
As someone who's from Austin, this episode made me incredibly happy to watch.☺I'm so glad y'all got to try Loro!!!! It's so freaking good
I'm from West Fargo. ND and I grew up with Sandy's Donuts, where they sold big fluffy donuts my best GF had for her birthday every year. Good stuff.
Barry willingly drowning in the sweet flavor of the watermelon was amazing 😂
I actually lived in Round Rock, TX for ten years! Loved it! Never been to McDade, but awesome!
That watermelon festival sounds like a dream! I love all things watermelon.
Have been WAITING to see them roll into Austin! All of these places are amazing and I've been lucky enough to visit most of them in my time there. Love it all, Keep it Weird 🫡🫡

Glad you guys decided to do this now. In a few years it'll be too hot to be outside in Texas.
Depending on when they filmed this, it was either 'too hot to be outside' or 'not too bad' given how the past few months have gone.
