hi we're joel and leah and we are sat outside bonfire bbq in asheville north carolina
as always whenever we go to the south we have to try the barbecue of the state that we're in
so the state that we're in yeah um we're in a terrible state no i meant as in emotionally
we're in a terrible state yes but physically we're in north carolina and we want to try
the barbecue yeah so let's go on in and see what bonfire barbecue has to offer let's go
so this is the first time we've come to barbecue place where we sit down
and they've brought us menus and um normally we go up and you get the train you like that i want that
this is the first impression of north carolina barbecue that you sit down also it's quite
level of customer service we've had but to be fair all the barbecues have been a little bit rude
haven't they in tennessee they were quite rude yeah the only genuinely lovely barbecue
like where they were like hi welcome to the best barbecue in nashville in austin
yeah that was really nice yeah yeah that was amazing it was lovely wasn't it no no nashville
nashville yeah oh i see welcome to the better thank you yeah it was edly's barbecue where she
said welcome to the best bargain in tennessee but we went to another barbecue before that i think it
was like john's or something and it it was right on the strip on broadway it wasn't very good
yeah this place is i don't know i think they're trying to find their identity oh hello oh thank
you um give you a couple more minutes sorry thank you i haven't even looked at the menu have we no
that's actually look good classic me and you we just stopped vlogging before anything
i'm confused because it says with the place i served with two sides and hush puppies but
what's a hush puppy is that like a slush puppy i think it rhymes with slush puppy
it's either gonna be some sort of potato thing or a drink but why would you get given i don't
want the hash brown hushpop like they're not even anywhere similar no there's only sausages on menu
there isn't actually no sausages no sausage for north carolina barbecue not one sausage what was
a girl what to do to get some sausage these days yeah honestly she's missing her fiance
it's just so dirty guys that was supposed to be clean like how is this oh my god i'm
actually wiping grease off it that is so weird i just got it out the paper mine's the same
why is it so dirty that's so weird in the uk every place service food has to happen
so like when you walk in on the door it will say like food how do you make them five five's
the best but the only people have five no i don't know you just open one if you want
hush puppies are listed as a side so it can't be a drink no we're gonna get them we're gonna try
that we're gonna get hosh poppies okra fries what the hell is okra um and in terms of the meat i'm
going to try the pork because what brisket brisket i'll try brisket or pork the joker
what brisket i think it's beef okay i'm gonna try brisket maybe this is gonna take us by
surprise when he says what sauce it says that kc honey sc mustard bonfire emc wnc
what the hell is that just barbecue sauce kc honey oh i'm getting buffalo that's my favorite
reaper what's barn burner i don't know i don't know any of these sources right last question
yeah sorry i don't know what any of these sources are like kate like bonfire enc wnc the bonfire
do you think that one would taste nice on the brisket or a ball yeah it should be yeah
okay i'm gonna please go for the i'm going to try the watch things better a lot of people come
and get pork i'll try the pork with the casey sauce please and then for the sides
what's a hush puppy is that a drink puppy you know that's like a little like little room
it's like bread kind of this is where it goes so i'll go for the cowboy beans please
and then is that like that's what sounds like yeah the floor and the beans sounds good can i
get the chicken with buffalo sauce and then can i get the yeah brussels sprouts and tater tots
do you still get hush puppies with that one yeah they usually come like one or two okay
do you think any of these are good a lot of people get very
but um personally haven't tasted it oh okay okay should we just try it
i'll try them yeah okay try it thank you it says should we go with ranch
i thought cheese looks a bit dodgy yeah a lot of people get raised
there's the orders guys sorry for the length of that clip oh i forgot some pickles pickles
do you have to ask well let's find out joel let's find
yeah just let nature be nature just think that poor pickle started as a cucumber yeah and it got
pickled it got fried and it got eaten wow right so this is okra fries i had no idea i don't even know
what an okra is it's veg is it have you heard of okra before yeah they cook it a lot in greece but
not like this what is it a pepper yeah it's nice different from the same family as the courgette
what i literally have no idea sorry i think it's i'm not sure what what veg family it's from maybe
it is from the pepper family it looks like a pepper it's like a nightshade lovely by the way
looks like it's got nice seasoning on it yeah
nice hot name i like that we weren't expecting this weren't we a little bit crispy we can taste
this vegetable so it tastes quite healthy yeah and then we've dipped it in ranch well it's
lovely yeah it's lovely isn't it right so i think this is my brussels sprouts look lovely and crispy
these must be the hush puppies chicken buffalo sauce and tater tots oh my god what have you got
coleslaw okay that's these are my baked beans yeah which we're called something else
and this is the pork i'm glad the sauce isn't on it
what i just had a flashback when i was at bojangles and i asked for the gravy
on the side and how tragic it would have been if they'd poured that graveyard yeah
all over your lovely biscuit yeah because i didn't like the gravy
anyway aquifer is delicious first time trying the hot pocky yeah go on them
what is it oh just bread there's fried bread it must be
something else in there i'm no food show host i can't tell you what that is no
strange though do you like it i'd eat it with a hangover okay
right now oh my gosh i can't take you anywhere honestly excuse me gentlemen
right try the rest okay we'll do you and then we'll do me please test them right okay so
first time cause small cut yeah can i get on board with this i think that would have been
nicer if they'd have shown me that it was bigger okay why they chopped it so strong
it's just the way they do it the fact that they've chopped it so small makes me feel like i'm eating
just little onions but it's not it could probably be better beans yeah also sorry to anyone
oh yeah don't apologize you eat your food the way you want they are stunning
are they they are so nice how do they compare to heinz baked beans oh my god
they're like they're not heinz baked beans on acid yeah on like the best night of its life
they're so sweet and like oh that's so good i'd have them on toast for breakfast what are you
doing with that that is gonna be my sauce for my yeah drip it yeah i know that's a bit of a
pathetic amount but i just don't know if i'm gonna like it yet okay so now for some pork
it's soft it's tender it's cooked perfectly you've got the sweetness from the sauce let
me try a bit of it naked it's very porky you know when pork tastes like you can tell that was a pig
yeah okay so it's it's freshly slaughtered right that that just came from over there like yeah
a wild pig yeah earlier roadkill yeah right i'm gonna try tater tot first i
might actually dip the tater tot in the ranch just because why not
potato top's basically hash brown isn't it i've never exactly the same
is it basically just a not like a non potato so it's a mini hash brown
it's hash brown that's acceptable past breakfast yeah basically dinnertime hash brown oh my god
i'm loving the look of the sprouts they look really good the sprouts look amazing
yeah they're crispy we've got some sort of dressing on it something sweet like a glaze
really really nice i was worried they're going to be boiled sprouts but they're not they're
just nice as if they boil them um let's try one of these in this grapes baby
so weird it tastes like it's going to be like a no it's got the texture of like a mozzarella
ball on the outside or something fried and then it's bread but i quite like it
do you like carbs i mean you didn't really need to fry it in north carolina did you
but you have and it does taste quite good right now for the good
stuff chicken looks so good it's crispy but also hopefully tender dip it in the buffalo
that is
that is so good wow from buffalo sauce is my favorite sauce we now start selling it in the uk
and i've i have bottles in my house ready to go all the time do you love buffalo what even
is buffalo just like yeah i think you should try something just for the hilarity of how you hate
my lips are already on fire from the beans like that are not even spicy so i need to try this
wow i need to try sprout and i need to try
well i've tried water browns i'll try sprout well they're just so gorgeous
they've got mustard on them have they is that what it is that's nice chinese yeah it's a hash
brown that's why they were the premium ones um beans yeah i'll try some beans
yeah really good thank you
they're a lot sweeter yeah than heinz baked beans aren't they yeah really nice like them
overall i think we've done really well here yeah very nice thank you carolina thank you
okay guys it was 45.89 i left 53 a 15 tip is that okay it's really hard for a brit to know what
to leave it's so difficult it really is i mean mostly because we've spent thousands on this trip
yeah i don't know i think 15 for the uk 15 i think for the fact that we had to clean
our own cutlery that's what knocked off a few percent tip and that i couldn't get anybody's
attention for a while to get the bill i'd just say let's go let's go there's a couple in here
that was lovely really lovely i mean i actually didn't really enjoy the meat that much it was nice
it just tasted really porky yeah porky yeah you know and pork tastes too porky yeah and all you
can taste is pig yeah basically that when you eat meat you don't actually really want to be
reminded that you're eating and eating an animal do you know what i mean i know what you mean you
didn't try any of the porks you didn't quite taste how porky it was no i believed you you didn't sell
it to me i didn't everybody said joel this is delicious because i like pulled pork but same
yeah but not too poor no but my chicken was so good really really nice everything about it i
really liked this barbecue the brussels sprouts incredible i just ditched most of the coleslaw
i ate the beans and that we called it a day yeah but anyway out of ten what would you give it i'd
give it an eight and a half out of ten i'll give four point five five wow we have very different
experiences barbecue the cutlery give them one out of ten yeah and the fact that like i know i didn't
give the highest tip but it's just because like the service was probably the the worst service
we've had in america thus far well i don't think he was like it's just like like this girl at the
bar like what can i just oh yeah walled out of her mind couldn't get anyone's attention i was
just like i'm just not used to that normally they're just like his cage or anything and i
yeah our waiter was nice he was helpful when i asked a question yeah what would have made it
better better sausage bit of sausage they don't do sausage i know maybe we'll go try the other
barbecue place one night yeah it looks really good let's do it it's called 12 something okay
