#FoodChallenge #SanDiego #FishAndChips
Evening all! I hope you’re having a stellar week and thanks from the bottom of my beard, as always, for joining me for yet another episode…
Today we’re in San Diego eating fish and chips…yes that’s right…I travelled 6,000 miles to eat British grub. I’m in Canada at the minute, making some more videos for your delectation, so if I don’t quite get back to as many comments as usual I apologise…
I’ll see you again this time next week for episode three! ’Til then, stay insatiable :)
Everything looks good
Where in Canada!? Im in BC I'd love to meet ya!
your videos always make me hungry
Great lookin meal! That laughter when you started with your first bite was like one hears on sitcom or late night talk show! You’re comedy gold along with being a great eater!
Adam, genuine question - why don’t you bring along your own beard hanky for these challenges?
I work there and you have caught our amazing late Jackie on video. She recently passed and honestly it was great hearing her voice and humor again. Thank you from us all ❤️
What fish is that though? Just interested as from the UK and mostly we eat haddock (good) or cod ( bad)
@@Jabarri74 At 4:48 Adam mentions that it's haddock that is used.
she seemed like a lovely person , sorry for your loss =(
I really sorry to hear that. Her personality from what we seen on the video seemed like a genuine person that everybody loved.
what why? i was just rewatching that part because i thought she was so sweet :(( sorry for your loss
Please don't cut back on the comedic relief. Love the interactions between you and the locals/ Randoms. This one was a good one btw, I want some fish n chips now. Been too long!
He does it effortlessly. Possibly, even, without intending to. Clearly the best channel of this type on YT.
This may seem disrespectful to Beard's peers, but it is the only channel I really enjoy watching. Adam comes across as a nice guy and the locals wherever he visits seem to like him too. Anyone can make a video showing them stuffing their face, but you do need a personality and the ability to make a quality video to make it enjoyable for the audience. Watch and learn!
@@generalpublic3744 Peers? PEERS?! He has no peers. :)
Maybe a little less laughing at his own jokes so much? It’s a little cringe!
Agree 100%. I love the interaction and banter with the locals.
This guy went from working in a bank to living his dream as an eating machine, what a legend of a man
And making money from it 😊😊🎉🎉🎉
Banks are dedicated to consuming the planet, so it's the same thing really
When you think about it this way its kinda inspiring cuz it just means that chasing ur goals and dreams is possible.
@@bradleylefika9209 And all those free shirts! The man's never got to buy clothing like that again!
now he just needs to find challenges that has a pair of pants as rewards @@haywoodjablome7822
I love how the beard looks over at the dudes when asks if they had a dessert menu and smirking like he made a funny.
Then orders the spotted dick, chuckles 😄
Beard playing the hits
It is pretty funny every single time
a moment of genuine pure joy
Jjjjjjn
As good as your performance was, the highlight had to be the enthusiastic onlookers when you finished, and ordered dessert😀
Totally agree, it's just something you don't really get with us Brits, we're all too reserved. We'll give a nod of the head in appreciation but not much more lol
agreed
Whilst the food consumption is “impressive” it’s the respectful, delightful charm and humour of these videos I enjoy most. A credit to the best of English folk and a true ambassador.
I love how you give credit to the actual quality of the food.. it can’t be easy for a cook to make sure everything is made properly with plates of that scale. You’re the man!
yeah it's hard to be fair...i will say in America the food is very rarely ever bad...very rare they get it wrong over here
@@Beardmeatsfood na bro u wyllin😂plenty of absolutely horrendous restaurants out here
@@MultiSneakerLover He's good at picking the locations for the challenges, I'm sure that helps, that and not being too picky. Most of the food I've seen him try looks really good.
@@LoveYouLove1986 Right. And the kitchen staff are aware that he's filming and likely posting it online so they're always gonna do their best to make sure it looks its best, even if the normal standard of food quality at that restaurant is just average or even subpar. This place looks busy enough to where they probably always have good food all around.
@@LoveYouLove1986 what you said, the kitchen guys knowing he's filming and wanting to impress him, as well as I think that restaurants that offer food challenges are probably gonna be offering a challenge for some of their customer favorite items. So they're probably pretty darn good at making the stuff by now. ☺️ Also, bad restaurants probably can't afford to do food challenges....if someone wins, they might go bankrupt lol
My phone only fucked up a couple things. I'm so proud!
I live in San Diego and have eaten at that pub a few times and the fish and chips are always "delicious"! So sick you came to our city! Can't wait to see where you go next! Love the content!
I visited there once and had a crazy delicious meal. Can't support the statement that San Diego has great food everywhere, but my flying visit fed me so well that I still remember the food as excellent even years later.
“I love how excited Americans get about… basically anything.” 😂😂
Thankfully soccer isn’t on of them. 😂 🕺
Just everything you can't do.😉😁
@@TobyBaker-hz3rw America the reason you’re not speaking German. football, basketball, baseball, space exploration, sea exploration, brushing teeth, technology, the combustion engine in a vehicle, the revolutionary war. We can visit the falklands. Military might. Free of monarchy. 🤣 you’re cute though. 😘
Yep… super friendly. Just don’t cross the line. We tend to hold some pride in our state and country. 🇺🇸
@@dp9051 if that was supposed to be a list of things invented in the USA then it just speaks volumes about your education over there.
The batter on that large piece of fish was impressive I'm surprised at how crisp it was while the fish inside appeared to be perfectly cooked.
aye it was top notch
yeah it didn't steam inside and get super soggy. very hard to pull off on a piece that large
Extra corn starch in the tempura batter will give you that crispiness.
It was a "brick of fish"...
@@CupidStunttzgood tip
"I hate fries" proceeds to compliment EVERY single set of chips he eats 😂😂😂
He doesn't like to eat fries in food challenges cause they're hard to eat, that's what he meant.
Well yeh coz if he didn’t he’d fail the challenges that involved fries? Ffs it’s not hard to understand
@@lewispoldenwhich has nothing to do with complimenting them. Ffs it's not that hard to understand. 😉
I really loved how supportive the audience and staff were. Great to see some channel fans rooting for you in the background as well. The fish looked amazing!
This was my first and only food challenge and I finished in 33 min. I was dying, I didn't think to leave the tartar sauce as lubricant for the chips, haha, amazing job!!!
Sweet..I'm in Wigan...neighbours to Warrington
Your username brings me back in time. TWKYK was so darn funny.
Congrats on beating that challenge btw!
@@reallyrandom222 Thank you!!!
With that knowledge, would you do it again?!
@@Cantetinza17 I ate the chips last, and when I swallowed them, they would slide down my throat so slowly that I wouldn't be able to breathe for a moment. I was sweating hard after finishing..... as delicious as that was, 4+ lbs of food in one sitting is too much for me. I'll stick to watching Beard!!
Every time he attempts fish chips 🍟,,I have this urge to go chippy
Profound
100%
I hate when he said chips brits are weird
The laugh out loud moment starts at 2:58 When that old chap says " We just look stupid" Another great one Adam 👍
Woah the people there are so supportive for you. Good job as always.
I love the nature documentary opening. I look forward to seeing what you do each week. The banter with the kids at the end too
thanks brandon
Shut up
I love how happy the guys next table gets when Beard asked for the desert menue
I loved the lady that served you. "Ohh you're letting it cool down! you're cheatin!" Very nice lady with a good sense of humor.
That’s Warrington for you 😆 she was great ❤
It’s so nice to see he had so much time he just got to sit and eat like a regular customer. What a rare mood.
They named a food challenge after my stepmom, that’s crazy.
You win the comments for today!!! Hahahah
😅
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
That fish and chips looked great! Can't imagine it would be better in San Diego than in Britain. As usual you did an awesome job Adam!😋🐟😋
Legit woke up this morning and thought "Ugh... Sunday... Well, I get to watch Beard eat a crazy amount of food, at least."
i am honoured
Just want to say a little appreciation post for beard. The fact I've been watching him for years his videos did good numbers high 6figs margin, but now when I look on his channel it's millions upon millions of views per video which is the credit he deserves. I'm proud ❤
thanks for the support mate :)
My wife and I enjoy seeing you eat everything in sight. Two or three time both of us agreed that you had no chance, yet you did it. We love it very much so keep it up, eat for free and make a living doing it. Thumbs up from Indianapolis.
Well done! That fish looked absolutely amazing. I think I would order it and share it out between four of us. It is a treat to see one of these challanges done without the hysteria surrounding it.👌
Shut up
Your videos get better and better! Legend! Well done! 👏👏👏
Aww thanks Tracy, that really means more than you know ❤
7:13 “I love how excited Americans get about anything” YEAH YOU’RE GOTDAMN RIGHT DON’T FORGET IT
That sneaky look to the side after asking for the desert menu. Gotta give your fans what they want!
"You're my spirit animal! " That man is a genius!!!!!
Loved this video! The waitress snapping him up and being so exuberant about him doing well. It was so sweet!😂❤ And when the young guy said he knew Beard would ask for dessert. Priceless.🤣
I like how you don't just go and be like "OMG OK ITS A FOOD CHALLENGE ALRIGHT GUYS LETS GO" you are a gentleman and people get involved because of your charisma and approachability. Keep up the good work man, we love you beard.
not sure i've ever been called a gentleman before, but thank you :)
I cant stand TH-camrs who shout at the camera
Great video! Good to see Great Britain being represented properly in the States, great staff, even your fans had enough sense to back up a few feet so they didn't mess too much with your video & sound. And you didn't even have to pay parking! Man you were having a good day, I hope you went to the nearest casino for a little bit after that one.
Wow that fish & chips looked f'ing delicious. It looked up there with that chicken fried steak challenge Beard did a few months back. I hear a lot of knocking of US food, but to be fair in quite a lot of these challenges the food in the US looks really bloody good.
That fish looked soooo good! One of the only challenges I would try and I definitely wouldnt finish it but id pay full price for those giant crispy pieces of fish
Makes me sad the chippys around me are so bad
This was an incredible challenge Adam, looked absolutely delicious. Feels like a English style Fish & Chips challenge isn't right without Mushy (hope that is how it is said/spelt, it's what I hear when it said) Peas. Congrats on crushing another challenge, the motivation of a T-shirt is just exceptional I must say. Cheers man, watching your videos is always a entertainment highlight of my week. Thank you for all the wonderful videos you give us.
This is the first time I've ever hear Adam complement chips/fries. Properly cooked and seasoned fries can be quite tasty.
Frites?
@@KevinKorenthal Yes. Called French Fries in America and Chips in the UK.
Editing and creativity on point now, Adam. Impressive stuff.
Zero creativity, maximum eating!
thank you :)
This challenge is on my radar. I knew you were going to crush it. Not a big fish and chips fan but this one looked delicious. Always love when you ask for that dessert 😂 great work brother!
By far my favorite crowd so far, you either get unamused eaters or overly excited ones. Another banger Adam, keep up the great content!
Holy smokes ! This was the first food challenge I had ever attempted & to see you do it brings back memories… not all fun ones. I completed my challenge back in 2018, just at the 43min mark.. Hats off to you once more !
strong work austin :)
Saw the sushi one first but this is amazing!! I have been there SO many times! We actually would go there with my Shakespeare company after shows! Thank you for smashing it again (as if that was ever in doubt.) and thank you for bringing back such great memories! I am a Euro now. ; )
My dad served in Europe during WWII, and he LOVED the fish and chips he got when he was in London on leave. He would get an order and go for a walk around London - he described the fish as crispy, delicious, and served in a cone of newspaper.
The only food they didnt ration during the war...for morale reasons.
@@projektkobra2247 Interesting :) Did not know that- thank you! :)
In London? It’s a shame your father never tried fish and chips in the north: Yorkshire, Lancashire, Lincolnshire…. By far the best, trust me. Via you I thank him for his service. All the best to you.
@@netwatcherer … Love the Mandalorian reference 👏🏻👏🏻
I went to London for a HS trip, was 10pm and I heard / smelled things out the window, went down to a guy selling fish and chips out of a cart, got it in a newspaper cone. Was fantastic.
Fantastic job. You made that look so easy. I wouldn't stand a chance against the humongous amount of fish you polished off. Go you, beard!
i believe in you
humongous amount of fish?yep william.......it was a jerrasick lol..........
I just want to know how they fried a piece of fish that thick. And got it done in the middle, without burning the outside. Lol. Looked delicious
That one seemed like a fair challenge all around, there looked to be a lot of everything, it sounded like it tasted delicious, and a reasonable time limit to do it in. You can call this one BeardFishesFood.
There's something very lovely about the fact that you travel all that way 'just' to eat fish&chips 😂
Gotta love a good fish&chips challenge!
yeah that's kind of a joke that wrote itself lol
I don't get it, what is 'just'
@Mehlogical just is to jokingly refer to the long distance beard traveled to eat a meal that is considered a staple in his country. Just a joke, hope that clears it up. You're likely just overthinking it
It looks like they battered and fried Jaws.
That slight corner eye peek to see if they were going to say anything after you requested dessert was priceless, lol. You love to see it
Especially that chap clapping for that LOL.. thought he would say you are a legend!😂
Adam, you made it to my hometown San Diego! Great job as always!
nice place!
Me and my mate would do Attenborough voice overs on nights out people watching.. always a good laugh. Nice work Mr Beardface
I've heard a few recently with his AI voice and they're hilarious when commenting on dumb people. Gotta have a quality script though of course.
Welcome to the friendliest comments section on TH-cam . Well done Adam ! I’m a once a week fish and chip man myself , soul food ♥️
How do they even find a fish that big 😮 Great episode! That guy was so happy when you asked about the dessert 😂 Have fun in Canada!
The Pacific Ocean is right next door. 😁
thanks julie
😆
The fish are on trenbolone 💉🍑
Julie, some of the idiots replying to you trying to be funny, but I myself have never seen fish that big in ANY fish and chip place in the UK whether it be takeaway or restaurant.
It was great to see everyone invested in the challenge
I hope my fellow San Diegans treated you well. That kid talking about you being his spirit animal had me dying.
My girlfriend just dumped me so I needed the beard vid today, nice one mate
plenty more fish in the sea mate...no pun intended
@@Beardmeatsfood very rude time to joke, there’s a time and a plaice lad.
@@Beardmeatsfood wheyy
Huge fish😮 looks yummy 😋 much love to you ❤️🙏
You are not going to be able to do any of these challenges much longer everyone will know who you are I know this is an older one but I have seen so many new ones as of late were they are cheating you! It’s sad in a way that they know you’re so good that they have to cheat you! Much love my guy.
Great video as always! I love how excited and supportive the waitress was when she saw you smashing the challenge!
cheers mate
This is my favourite part of Monday's! Beard you ripper!
Always seem to fall into a rabbit hole of Beard videos every 2 weeks or so. Then seeing the want for a Guinness brings me joy, top tier. Keep up the great vids, never cease to make me famished!
Beard reels in another fish challenge.😁 Great job Adam! Glad it was good.
This is our favorite spot to watch Manchester United! The Sunday roast is excellent but the fish in chips were voted the best in the country at one point! So excited to see our local on the show!
3:33 'it's good!' possibly one of my fav Beard moments. You keep me going with the way you enjoy life, Mr Beard!
Imagine his life.
Hey Beard. Is it difficult going back and forth between what side of the road you're driving on? I'm from Ireland originally but have lived in NY most my life. I'd be terrified to try driving back home 😂
1st time I drove in Wales I was terrified as well.. in 2 days I was back to driving, oops, motoring with my knees... ahhah
na, pretty easy for me for some reason
@@Beardmeatsfood Teach me your ways brother! 😅
Get'er done Adam!!!! And I know that you can dominate this challenge!!! I love watching your videos and seeing you smashing the challenges!!! 🍀😋🍀🎊😁🎉😉👍❤❤
thanks brenda
@@Beardmeatsfood your very welcome my friend ❤💞
Beard,WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA, they won't say but I will I ain't from there, it's great seeing you over here exploring all the food challenges your presence is always welcomed, beard sir you are indeed the nicest pro eaters out there love all your content, keep going beard, we love ya
It always amuses when we see an obviously easy challenge for Mrs Beard's husband.
My wife and me are in California right now (holidays, all the way from Germany). Any chance to see you eat live in the area? That would be awesome 😊 keep up the good work and thanks!
I'm in Canada now mate, this was months back
@@Beardmeatsfood I see! Thanks for the response 😊👍
I’m pretty sure out of all the challenges you’ve done. I’m 75% sure I could do that one but definitely not in the time frame would definitely be longer than an hour lol 😂 the fish got my stomach going that looks so good.
Mr Beard strikes again ! fabulous video , loved that lady half way through " you've still got a big bowl of peas to do 🤣 i must admit that fish looked awesome , great job , well done 👏❤
thank you :)
Magnificent work! I love it that you always fit the dessert in! Thank you for the video!
thanks dan
That looks awesome! I love tartar sauce! 😆
P.S. You're right that some fish and chips here aren't so good. You can run into bad food anywhere but in general if you're on the coast it's pretty good.
That was awesome. Thank you for such great entertainment Adam. 😂 I’m glad you had people cheering you on ❤
thanks janet
Wow a food challenge that didn't cheat by loading it up with an insane amount of fries for once. That was an absolutely mammoth fish.
Oh man! I've been there. Now I'm gonna have to go back there to try the fish & chips. Looks great! (FYI, California has better food than NYC any day of the week. Including Bagels and Pizza)
Looks so good I couldn’t eat it but I’d love to dig into it anyway!
I was looking forward to today and you delivered!! Well done Mate!! Cheers!!
thank you :)
I found this channel yesterday and have probably watched around 20 videos. I'm dying to know what his insulin resistance is at these days, especially after the giant eclair. I don't know how he packs it all away so consistently. Prayers to the hotel toilets are probably needed.
I'm mad that I didn't get to watch this yesterday. Would've made my Sunday. Every Beard video I watch when it releases is the best day of my life!
Good day beard! How do you not have a paper towel sponsorship yet?!
Now we're asking the real questions
Thats seems easy for a one hour challenge haha Beard can easily smash that in 10 mins
This man seems to always cut their time limit in half. Incredibly fast, just amazing.
This man’s appetite is of no other, he’s even got time for dessert, a true trencherman.😂😂
cant express how excited I get when I see an upload from my favorite foodie!
i am honoured
@@Beardmeatsfood sir, it is I who is honored. LETSGETIT
Sitting in this pub about to dig into some fish and chips! Thanks for leading me to this place!
The fish and chips looks so delicious and fresh 😋
Loved the crowd clapped at your dessert menu request
Dang what a great looking restaurant. Food looked great. Staff and customers seemed happy. If I wasn’t all the way in Ohio I would love to come eat there. Great stuff Mr Beard!!
Love your banter with all the people at the bar. Another winner of a show.
thank you :)
The thing I miss the most after living in England for 5 years is the chips with extra vinegar and salt.
What i miss is the dandelion/ burdock soda and mushy peas
Don’t feel bad bro if I fly to Japan I’m absolutely visiting a McDonald’s 😂
the 15 minutes positive energy from that woman made this video even more awesome! You did well mr Beard!
Shut up
These videos always make my day. First it was just for the challenges but the interactions with the people really sell the whole thing
thanks charlie
U need to get out more
Just started watching your channel I am from San Diego California in the USA & my boy twig is from Leeds tho. Much respect 🤞🏽.
Your videos are epic. Keep up the hungry work!
thanks mate :)
This is probably the first time I've seen a challenge and been like, "Yeah, I could definitely take that down".
That's basically an appetizer for The Beard.
I normally am in awe of you, Bearded One, but I believe I could do this challenge. Not that I'd ever get the chance, but I'd love to try.
@ 2:59 "Do you think you could eat that?"
"No, We'd just look stupid" lol. Great crowd
I want to thank you Mr beard, as I've been god awful depressed as of late. Watching your videos always makes me laugh, and smile. Even when I don't feel like it, God bless my friend. Though I question your longevity at this point lol
You're such a great guy!
@derekbuckler depression is the worst 😢 I hope you are feeling better ❤
