Will you make a channel that is only Vegas? On and near the strip. We had been watching for years, but aren't interested in trips and the SoCal scene. Seems most are, but you've lost our interest. We liked it spaghetti & meatballs, fried chicken & mashed taters around the strip. Also Asian and Latin off the strip. Just have a channel "best of actual all you can Vegas."
@@rockywooton2614 They live in LA now. So I doubt that will happen. Unless they occasionally decide to hit l-15, and do a road trip from time to time.
Try Heritage bbq in Dan Juan Capistrano, the Smoke Queen in Garden Grove and the Smoking Rib in Garden Grove
@rockywooton2614 ALSO for those of us in Vegas a trip to LA is a regular occurrence, so we’re curious about the food there
.
This bbq adventure was like watching a tragic comedy. You could almost feel the disappointment in your faces. Shake Shack to the rescue. 🍔🍟
I fell off my chair laughing when the food arrives and there were only 2 thin slice of brisket.
Welcome back guys.. road trip eating is the best.
Sign of the times. More and more small eatery's are cutting hours or closing completely in CA. Cost of doing business and hourly wage hike is just too much.
and even with 20 per hour it is very little in a place like LA or miami need to make closer to 30 to afford most apts in these areas with studios being around $2000 nowadays
I'm so happy to see you guys I've missed your videos thank you
Would love to see you guys go back to Vegas to review the restaurants and buffet's, they were my favorites to watch!!
They're ARE BACK !!!
Gosh I miss you guys!! Thanks for another great review! ❤
For paying almost $40 at Slab, that did not look like a lot of food and that was without any sides too. I would be going thru the drive thru at BK or some other place on my way home.
Right!
My wife and I love your show. We love watching it from Australia. ❤️ you both
Enjoy your shows. After 41 years, I moved out of Sherman Oaks ..
Sad to see all those closed businesses.
If in LA, definitely need to try Moo's Craft BBQ, Ray's BBQ, Bludso's BBQ
+1 for Bludsoe's!
As usual, great job! Very informative and entertaining!
Love you two! Great food review. Thanks for your patience and going to three food places!
Thank you. If you come to Austin Texas a bbq place called Terry Black is unbelievably good eats. Also, in Fort Worth, the #1 place for bbq in Texas is Goldie's but it is only opened on Friday, Saturday and Sunday because they do not compromise on their food. They work during the week but are not open until the weekend.
Building a Terry Black’s near downtown San Antonio. Rumors are they are going to have a hotel, bath house & several restaurants. We’ll see what happens.
Oh good! I was worried Catherine took over the channel and hid Derek!! 😆😆
Because of one video? Give me a break.
@@ngs5554 How was the tent?
Very spendy for what you got. It’s a mall food court. You’re not going to get Texas Bbq - but you’re paying Texas prices. I’d pass
I've not eaten at a BBQ place in DFW since 2004. The prices were too high even then. Now I smoke my own brisket and ribs.
You guys need to come to the southern states to get proper bar-b-que!!
Hi guys on June 14 they just opened a shake shack in Toronto Canada. I’m looking forward to trying it next month. The lines are way too much right now. I was so glad to hear your review and how much you both love it. It’s the first one to open in 🇨🇦 Take care guys😊😊😊
lmao wow you don’t have to say it. we know, guys. lolol
Plenty of independent BBQ places all over LA and Orange County to enjoy. Slab is more of a commercial chain establishment that has been failing. Never heard of great BBQ restaurant in a mall food court. Thank you for the review.
So nice to see you again!
That was good exercise! Tour du monde! 😏👌🏼
No sides?
Don't look that good..
Doesn't 😮
Missed u guys ❤
It came with no sides. Hmmm. At least cole slaw or small mac salad
That was ridiculous.
Video great as usual, but Texas BBQ in a food court. I have a hard time seeing that called Legendary. Legendary Texas BBQ is only open until they run out and you stand in lines for a long time to hopefully get some.
With the outrageous prices and poor quality of food when eating out, it’s better sometimes to cook it at home. Miss you guys and your videos!
If they aren’t lined up for your bbq, it’s probably not very good!
I love Shake Shack. I just wish there were as many in the UK as there are Five Guys.
Try Bludso's in L.A. and now Santa Monica. They outgrew Compton. They from Texas and the brisket is so tender and smoky.
Valet parking for bbq! They moved where people can afford the food. Considered a contend er for some of the best in the country. Even so some of the best Bbq comes from behind bullet proof glass~
Fair dinkum unbelievable 😂😂❤😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
oh my goodness! we miss you guys!
Just from looks alone, that is a sad BBQ platter
All of those food court restaurants were open during all the mall hours until the $20 minimum wages were started. The $40 plus dollars did not include drinks, sides or desserts. Bring your lunch when you shop at the malls.
yeah people really need to learn to prepare food at home or just stay home more these days derek thought 25 was a good price for 2 fast food burgers and a fry? i was thinking no way would i pay that i can make a grass fed burger with grass fed cheese on a healthy bread for a fraction of that price at home and it tastes amazing not hard to prepare either nor takes long time. I saw some burgers at burger king was 12 bucks now? very crazy people think these are good burgers at these places and worth that price and don't realize what you can do at home
If they severed that crap here in Texas they would be out of business in a week
But all bbq has to be "severed" before it's served to the customers.
*served
Two things as someone watching from England, having visited the states many times I really cannot believe how expensive it has become when visiting. It’s becoming extremely expensive to visit. And secondly why do you cut your food put the knife down and swap hands with the fork! 😂never understood it!
Y’all took Kendrick’s minivan to the spot?
I think there are better place for barbecue in LA!
Shake Shack for the win! My favorite fast food burger. Too bad they don’t have it my neck of the woods(Vancouver). Only ever had it in Vegas.
Great video.
Luv yall content for good authentic Brazilian go to fogo de chao
Please critique Burger King one day!
not the metric system....quarter pound is only 4 oz.
The best cheese cake is at Starbucks . It’s to dye for , creamy chocolate !! You’ll be surprised . I won’t eat at the cheese Factory anymore !
Signs are everywhere that a crash is coming. Look at all those closed eateries ...
Come on guys, with all the places to eat in LA you pick a food court in a mall?
The best burgers in the world is FERGS BURGERS IN QUEENSTOWN NZ Open 21 hrs a day always a line down the road - burgers around NZ$25 ea apparently t/o over NZ$1.2 million a week owner will not franchise or sell out was there a few days ago just incredible.
Hi guys, for most famous I’ve never heard of Slab. Bludso, yes, Dr. Hoggly Woggly (sp?) yea. Baby Blues yes. Slab, no. Hell even Famous Dave’s is more “famous.” Try Bludso, I met him once before he opened his stores. He had a tow smoker behind his truck and parked on the street next to the West L.A. Best Buy. OMG the smell. The taste! Wrote down his name now he has places, far from me but, oh my.
Joe
Everyone seems be using 360 camera view while driving.
Places like Slab use commercial BBQ smoker ovens that produce a generic tasting, low effort BBQ product. I’ve eaten their food here in Texas, once. There’s a good reason why their stores are closing.
Your rating was very generous! That food was shockingly bad for the price and for BBQ in general
$40 for a small tray of Bbq, rip off
I would have walked out. If it's not busy it means foods just sitting around
Honestly I feel like almost all food hall food is like this. "Outposts" of popular locations that don't deliver on what the original had to offer + even higher prices because of the premium location. BBQ is especially problematic, and as a Texan born and raised, I would never trust any BBQ at a food hall, and here's exactly why: To make elite quality BBQ you need plenty of space to smoke the meats and no food hall location can do this in house. That means that they have to get their meats pre-cooked from somewhere else, and then they'll most likely just reheat it. Given that this place just closed their original location, who knows where they were getting their meats.
Another good rule of thumb is good BBQ will always have a line, or at-least people outside eating it. If it doesn't, skip it and move on, you'll just be wasting your time.
45 minutes?
Ok best bbq in L.A is Woodys bbq on Slauson near Crenshaw Blvd m, where Rapper Nippsy hustle got killed, Phillips bbq on Crenshaw near Adams Blvd also you guys need to come to the inland empire and drive down Foothill Blvd route (66) from the city of Montclair to the city of Fontana over 1000 restaurants and eateries
Anytime ordering at a restaurant from 2-4PM stick to made to order items. Those spits at the Brazilian place were probably sitting there since noon time. Definitely drying them out.
Here in North Phoenix we have 2 AWESOME BBQ places. Hek Yeah BBQ and Little Miss BBQ. Both have outdoor smokers so you can smell the food a half mile away. Both are kind of expensive but the meat is so darn good with large portions, it is worth it. The meat should be good on it's own and adding sauce is only to take it the next level.
No BBQ in a food court setting can be good. Must cook the meat elsewhere & transport to the food court.
I love you guys but i hate the technology that seems to be taking over. And they dont accept cash? Thats a deal breaker. Thanks for the review!
You need to come to Kansas City, Missouri to eat the Very Best BBQ..nothing compares to our restaurants here!!
The Food Terrace (food court) is better than the Food Hall
Quarter pound brisket looks like a kids meal🧐😒
We have shakeshacks In my area and I don't like their burgers
Keep fighting for California there are so many places to eat that is affordable...
Be still my heart. I do much better in my back yars
I do much better on my back yard on the green egg so ,uch better.
So expensive . . .thanks Bidenomics/ Kamalanomics!
20.00 USD an hour minimum wage, killing restaurants.
Nevada is about to increase it's minimum wage to $12. California's minimum wage is $16. Many states are still at the federal minimum wage of $7.25 and hour. So that isn't what is killing restaurants. The average cost per a dozen of eggs in the US today is about the same as it was in December 2015. What's creating difficulty in restaurants is the lack of good management and staff. And for chain restaurants it's a willingness to set prices at an unreasonable rate and have people pay that price. If you don't want to eat out then don't. If you do then don't complain because that's the price.
Totally agree with wpl8275. European restaurants pay staff a living wage without tips and flourish. Corporate greed resulting in price gouging to will only lead to more closures.
After seeing it hell no just anther bbq fast food nothing specia l
Mall food 👎
Rip off!!!!!
Dang what's ypur colestroial level...love the videos and what you do but dang health is better than a few dollars on video. But take a few bites and put it aside as nd send it to the pig farm...
*cholesterol !
To be honest golden coral coud do better.
Golden Corral could
So glad to see you again!!!
It blows me away the prices of everything today. I totally agree with ya'll on the rankings. When Derek got a scoop of white rice I was like "Nooooooo" it's by the pound. I know it was mall court food, but none of it was impressive until those burgers. I can remember 25 years ago Burger King would have 99 cent whoppers and McDonalds would counter with $1.00 Big Macs. Gosh how I miss those days. Great video.
Dang, you old like me. Are you old enough to remember 5 cent hamburgers and 10 cent cheeseburgers on Tuesday’s (?) at Mickey D’s ?
Invest in an old smoker someone is getting rid of and make your own. That beats paying 40 bucks a shot in some food mall.
What happened to the 2 of you used to go to IN restaurants in Las Vegas? Only the top. Now you're going to the bottom of the barrel.
Nice of them to include some brisket in that pickled veggies and condiments platter lol. Thanks for doing what y’all do and taking us along!
😅😅😅😅😅
That brisket looked disappointing. No brisket should ever need sauce.
Some people like it with sauce
@@swag94556 Good and properly smoked brisket doesn't need sauce.
@@PhyuckYew each to they own
You two have parlayed your flair for buffet banter into food hall hijinks!
That lil bit for 40 bucks 😢
Finally a new video
I thought I would not watch not being in Vegas, but I am back. Still very entertaining...
So sad to see those places closed. The economy is the worst it's been in decades and people can't afford to eat out.
The whole place looks like a Moroccan vacation resort out of season. A lot of places locked up, hardly any people….looks depressing
You guys don’t seem impressed at all. Guess don’t believe the hype!
at the end of the day mall food will always be mall food
What a rip off.
Watching from the UK 🇬🇧... why do you cut your food...then transfer it to another hand to eat it?.... have you ever used a knife and fork before?.. I genuinely don't know? And I don't understand.
Just another difference between Brits & Americans. We could ask you the same thing. It all makes it to the same place...your mouth. Viva La Difference! 😁
Nice to see yo back brotha. Seems expensive for what you get.......
😂 Derek is an OG!!! He has Catherine opening the door for him. Lmao 💯
I don’t know what you are filming with, or how you were filming, but it made me dizzy. Just horrible.
Next time try Dr. Hogley Wogley Tyler Texas Bbq in Panorama City.
That bbq is mid at best and the brisket looked dry AF
It seems Slab ain’t it. That is 100% embarrassing. That’s BBQ?
In my opion that was trash for the price brisked is hard to mess up pn a smoker.
Thanks for the video! That bbq looked pretty mid if I'm honest - esp for the price. Pass...
So, okay BBQ, but not as good as the expectation from the name Slab.
Any chance you guys find some better BBQ places in LA?
