Hi, I'm Josh.
I'm Ollie.
And it's that time of year.
It's not a salad bowl.
It's not a cereal bowl.
It's not...
What other bowls are there?
It's the Super Bowl.
What is it?
Is it just bubble wrap?
We don't look at that.
Super Bowl's coming up.
We've come to our local American food joint.
This place is run by a legit American.
From Kansas.
He's from Kansas.
From Kansas.
Why did you give me the Eagles shirt?
Wait a sec...
You won't be able to tell.
Michael!
- Hi, guys. - Hello.
I've just found out that you are not an Eagles fan.
That's okay.
American football is not like UK football where there's kind of a rivalry,
Less aggressive?
Much less aggressive.
Fewer hooligans?
Far fewer.
Okay, okay, good.
We've heard the Super Bowl, as well as being about American football,
is a lot about food, as well.
Yes.
The food is snacky.
It's grazeable.
It's handheld.
It's toothpicks.
Now we got in quite a lot of trouble last year
because Josh prepared an episode of Super Bowl snacks.
Have you heard of Brussel Sprout Sliders?
Er, no.
Great.
OK.
Well, we tried them and I can't even remember how they were.
So let's move on.
I'm relieved we got an expert today is what I'm saying.
Well, you know, American Super Bowl is a big spectacle,
over the top.
And the food is punchy, flavourful, and crave-able.
Fantastic.
Can't wait, can't wait.
Wow.
Super Bowl Sunday's not complete without fried Brussel Sprouts.
You do do Brussel Sprouts?
I'm just kidding boys,
Just kidding.
He's trolling him!
Did you just prepare this to troll him?
Yeah.
Can we actually try them?
He prepared an entire dish to troll us.
Incredible.
That's really good.
Holy crap.
It doesn't taste at all like Brussel sprouts.
Tastes like bacon and deliciousness.
Oh my gosh.
That is not on the menu.
Ooh!
Wow.
The toothpick segment.
Salami rolls.
Spicy beef sausage with some BBQ sauce.
Let's do this.
Wow.
What?
Wow.
I've never had that before.
How is that just a thing we don't do?
That's really good.
There's pickle in the cream cheese.
It's like the filling of a sandwich, you just take away the crappy bread.
I mean, it's so simple but so good.
Alright, spiced beef sausage.
That's really good.
Why do we not have this when we watch football?
What do we have?
We just have beer.
Dagnabbit, you're right.
We literally just have beer.
We literally drink so much beer.
Maybe a pack of crisps.
I feel like I need a drink, though, now.
It's getting spicy, you know?
Well...
Wait, what is that?
I ordered this online.
My head is too big.
Dammit.
My head is too big.
I don't think this is a good idea, Ollie.
No, this is gonna be great.
Okay, there you go.
You can't stop or breathe once you start.
That's a Bud Light/Coors mix.
Just FYI.
What's that facial expression mean?
How do you stop?
No, no, no, no.
Okay, I think you have to clip it shut.
There you are.
Has that sealed it?
I just had quite a lot of beer.
Goodness me.
Disaster.
No, no, no.
What are you doing?
I don't want to wear it anymore.
You gotta take the hat off then.
Don't take the beers out.
It's hard to think on your feet.
What do you mean?
You're sitting down!
This is the famous seven layer dip.
And here is the queso.
So this one you go straight down and in because there's seven layers of goodness.
Oh my gosh.
- Seven layers? - Seven layer dip!
So you've got refried beans, sour cream, guacamole, cheese,
salsa, tomato, spring onions, some avocado on top for fun.
There's no resistance.
I need more.
To my teeth.
My teeth went straight through it.
I genuinely could eat an entire pot of that.
Texture-wise, it's kinda pre-digested.
Yeah, well...
No, it is.
It is.
I know that sounds gross.
It sounds gross.
But it feels incredible in your mouth.
It's gonna provide no resistance on the way down.
Let's not...
Okay.
I don't want to get too far into that.
Pick up too much speed.
Right. Oh gosh.
This bowl of queso is genuinely incredible.
It's got sausage, Rotelle, cheese sauce.
Typically in the US, it's Velveeta.
You can't get that over here because it's fake cheese.
The UK doesn't allow that.
So we make our own with real cheese.
Would it be crazy to put that in my drink dispensing hat?
Yes.
It would be absolutely insane.
Oh my gosh.
That is easily the best dip I've ever had.
It's really nicely spiced.
It's got a slight kick to it.
If we invented this in England,
We'd be like, "Cool. Don't need anything else."
We'd just eat only this.
We'd literally be like, "I'm all good. I'm all good."
British people have a tendency, I feel like, to find something they like
and then just eat that like every day.
500 years ago someone invented the sausage roll
and then all British people were like,
"We're good, we're good.
Don't need anything else.
Sausage roll, great."
Oh my goodness.
- Wow. - Look at that.
So baby back pork ribs tossed in barbecue sauce
and some buffalo wings with ranch.
You obviously can't smell
because YouTube doesn't have an ability to communicate smell.
...yet.
- This smells unbelievable. - It smells amazing. It smells incredible.
Let's do it.
Look at that. Wow.
Mmmm...
Mmmm!
How do they watch the game?
Seriously.
How do you focus on anything?
I need to focus on ingesting this stuff.
That's the thing about American football.
There's loads of stoppage time.
Ahh!
While you're waiting, boom, straight in with the food.
Is that right?
Absolutely.
There you go.
The perfect spectator sport.
This is insanely good.
It must have been marinated in it for a long period of time
because the sauce goes all the way through.
So the meat, extremely tender, but there's like a nice little crispy crust
around the edge.
Everything we're eating is so good.
All right, let's do a wing.
Wow.
Look at that.
That is a thing of beauty.
Oh my gosh.
What?
You know what's great about that?
It's not remotely dry.
That's going straight in the queso.
This is just so decadent.
It's so decadent.
I don't know if we've ever been so quiet.
Like I genuinely don't think I have the words to really articulate how good this is.
We were joking earlier that if you had food like this in the UK,
there would be no hooliganism,
but I genuinely actually think that might be true.
You go to a pub and there's tension.
But imagine if you were serving this.
Imagine if Beyonce came out at halftime and just did her stuff, right?
Millwall fans would become nice.
Right?
I see where you're going.
Maybe that's what the Super Bowl is about.
Like there's so much of everything.
Everyone's pleased. Everyone's happy.
They've even got celery for the vegans.
Here you are, Andy.
I genuinely think though that it may be the best chicken wing I've ever had.
Best chicken wing you've ever had?
Rip it in half.
Have half of it by itself and the other half in the queso.
I've had like 10 of these wings.
I wasn't even hungry by the time the wings came out.
Yeah, name a chicken wing that's better.
I'm open.
I'm open to being proved wrong.
No.
Really happy.
Really, really happy.
It's good to hear.
It's good to hear, fellas.
We just decided these are the best wings we've ever had.
Ever.
Amazing.
Well, keep rolling...
Oh my goodness.
Sliders,
and then what's more American than a chili cheese dog?
Oh my gosh.
16 hour oak smoked brisket.
You shouldn't need a knife.
That's American beef that we get over here.
So English beef is great for burgers,
but for smoking, long 16 hours, you need a lot of fat.
Look how tender it is, it's going to fall off my fork.
That's a thing of beauty.
14 hours.
16.
16 hours.
Oh my gosh.
That's the whole Lord of the Rings extended trilogy.
Cheers, mate.
Mmmm...
mmmm...
MMMM!
It's smoky.
It's tender.
So tender.
There's a lot of fat in there.
That's why it's so juicy.
That is sublime.
You're totally right though.
The fat makes it.
There's a lot of flavour in the meat, but you get to the fat and it's just like
explosion of flavour.
It's ridiculous.
Unctuous goodness. Just delicious.
It's so good.
You could even dunk that in the queso.
Dunk that in the queso!
Dunk it. Dunk it.
Oh my gosh.
You went in.
All right. You ready?
Okay.
This is a joke.
It's so good!
This is actually a joke.
This is one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth.
Like, what? What? WHAT?
Absolutely absurd.
Brisket slider dipped into queso.
That's perfection.
That is literally perfection.
I can't say anything.
I'm peaked.
I am peaked.
I am so happy.
And over here we've got 14 hour applewood smoked pork.
I just know this is going to be incredible.
I can't believe this has just gotten better and better.
Like that is genuinely the best so far.
And everything has been so good.
Oh man, I'm at a loss for words.
Mmm.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
WOW.
Mmm.
It's been a bit of a journey this last year...
We've been to America a few times.
We have.
We went to LA.
We went to New York.
We went to South Carolina.
Yeah.
And we had like proper locals introducing their culture through their food to us.
It's been genuinely amazing.
It has been.
Absolutely loved it.
So where should we go next?
Kansas City?
Maybe Kansas, yeah.
Or Philadelphia, I should say.
Out of the loyalty to my team.
Alright, final thing.
Are we going to Lady and the Tramp this?
No way.
Look how messy that is.
- I think we should. I think we should. - It's not possible.
I think we should.
Wow.
That looks loaded.
Okay.
Mmm.
I can see the kidney beans and everything.
But the chili is like a strong flavor.
I mean, for us to be at this stage of the meal, still loving this.
Still enjoying food.
Like, yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm lost for words.
Can I get you guys a real beverage?
What about a fireback?
Whatever you recommend.
I don't know what the difference between a fire back and a pickle back is.
A fire back is pickled jalapeno.
And a pickle back is just pickle juice.
We make the pickle juice ourselves.
A nice little digestif.
Cheers.
To the Super Bowl!
Yeah.
To Kansas City.
Ohohohoo!
Feels like you should go bourbon, pickle, bourbon.
Why stop there?
Just keep going.
Non-stop.
