[S] We are here in Houston, Texas
which we have been told is
the restaurant capital of the United States
We're gonna test that theory out today by going to the best restaurants that Houston has to offer!
[M] Now I'm a little concerned cuz we're jamming this all into like, one day
And Simon has like a really fragile, baby tummy
[S] Whaaat?
[M] So he's gonna tap out by round 3
[S] Girl you crazy, you tapping out by round 2!
[M] Bo bo bo I'm Simon! I'm full! I'm on a low-carb diet!
Oooh! Bo bo bo
[S] I'm here for meat! This is the right place for me! Right?!
[M] Are you kidding me?
YOU'RE GOING DOWN!
[S] YOU'RE going down!
[M] YOU'RE going down!!
[S] YOU'RE GOING DOWN!!!
[M] You're going dooown!!
[S] I love you so much
[Both] Oooh! *kissy noises*
[Country-ish music~]
[M] So you...wait... Leigh...
I'm so confused...
[S] I'm getting all misty-eyed right now
[M] Okay so...
[S] Huh
[M] So we could do like... [S] Huh huh... huh huh
[S+M] HAHAHAHA HA
[M] Is this vegetable low-carb? Of course ;)
[Background music]
*drool*
[S] Shiner Bock!
Is there a place in Texas called Shiner? This is so great!
[S+M] Lone Star!
[M] It’s the national beer of Texas!
[L] It is!
*Giggling gleefully at the foods and meats*
[S] So I got the beef brisket dinner with potato salad, some jambalaya…
and...the most glorious piece of bread I have ever seen
[M] It’s like a jalapeño bread [S] Cheesy, covered in jalapeño.
And you can’t see this right now, but I’m so erect that the table is lifted up another couple of feet.
[M] I got the po-boy with two kinds of meat: jalapeño sausage
and this is the beef brisket on a french bread thingamabob
We also got a baked potato which seems to be filled with meat
[S] It’s more like meat with a side of baked potato
[M] aaand...then we got the beef brisket. We got the...czech(?) sausage
[S] And the ribs [M] and the ribs with uh...jalapeño bread
[S] Jambalaya [M] Jambalaya and the jambalaya pinto beans

[M] Okay...alright...here I go
[S] I’m ready...I’m ready! Share with me
[M] Mmm!
*DOTHRAKI MAN WARRIOR BITE*
[M] That’s great!
[S] I love how no nonsense this is. It’s not like we have
*cue European music* like, a reduction foam or whatnot
like we got good meat, we got good bread, put ‘em together and eat it
That’s how it should be!
How’s that rib? Is that a good rib?
[M] You’re not gonna like it
[S] It’s a great rib! [M] Right?
[S] It’s a great rib. [M] I know.
Leigh, this is a great choice! [M] Mmhmm!
*Thumbs up*
[M] Kay [S] Well done!
I love...living right now.

about 20 minutes when you’re like “I can’t eat anymore
[L] Hey [S] Uhh! [L] Hey

[M] Is it dessert?
[S] Let’s go for beignets… [M] Alright...let’s go for beignets
[M] Alright we are in Crescent City...Beignet Shop...?
I don’t know what to say about this, but I didn’t even know what a beignet was
*high-pitched scream of horror*
And apparently it is a delicious, puffy, awesome-looking, freshly cooked...Look at this!
[S] You see how much sugar is on here? Watch this…
*Sugar snow*
*Simon coughing on the sugar, Martina laughing*
[S] So I feel like when I’m talking…
GOLD DUST~
[M] Mm’kay I understand now why there’s sugar on this.
This is not as sweet as I thought it would be, which is great!
This is like, totally my style of old person food. Oh yeah!
[M] And then he just dump honey alllll over his beard again
[S] Is it impossible to get it out of my beard?
[M] Ohh ducky!
[S] I’m trying so hard
[M] Oh bo...with a k.o.
[S] I’m just a mess. I’m sticky...and my beard doesn’t feel right
How you’re s’posed to eat this?!
There’s no civilized way…
[L] Leigh’s section...Simon’s Section…
Fellow Texans, I know you might be wondering why we took them for beignets

[M] A condom in your mouth…
[S] It like wraps everything up, like a
thin sheen
[S] Just, all there like the
sinuses, are coated [M] That's amazing

[S] I can't do it I'm too weak!
[S] Now we're at Esteros Tierra Caliente
[S] Is that right?
[M] Might have nailed it
[S] Yes! No, there's no s.
[M] Oh, Simon.
[S] Almost. We're at Estio Tierra Caliente
[M] Yes it is an awesome Mexican food truck
[S] We've heard about it before, we've never actually been there
and we're really excited to try it out.
[M] We've definitely never been there before
[S] Oh that's delightful.
[M] Mmm
[M] It's like a taco
[S] Okay so we were there yesterday and we pretty much had everything on
the menu. [M] And it was amazing
[S] But we're ready to have it again because it was the best
taco truck ever.
[S] Hello. [Woman] Hi. [M] Hello
[S] Oh yes
[M and S] Thank you
[S] Ahh.
[S] Let's bring our lunch bags to- let's bring our lunch bags to the tables
[M] The west Alabama ice house
[Woman] We used to like- my grandfather owned the bar
we used to like sell groceries [M] That's amazing!
[S] Your grandfather owned this bar?
[S] That is so amazing
[S] And you're here right now working it
[Woman] I'm here working it
[S] That is
[M] That is totally amazing. [S] amazing
[Woman] It's a family business
[S] This is such a wonderful little place
[S] This is gonna be one of my fondest memories
of this whole tour
[M] Soozie's like "I'm already eating everything"
[S] Soozie's already done
[S] Look at that
[S] Ahh. This right here
This is the money shot
[M] I'll have to try some
[S] I'm so happy right now
[S] I am so happy right now.
[S] What's great about this is that the beef here tastes so different than
Korean beef. I don't like Korean beef at all
But this beef here has a sweetness to it.
[S] Oh man. Cause this beef doesn't taste like
Korean beef at all
[M] Are you gonna eat all of it? Can I have a bite?
[S] Yeah
[S] You can have one bite, that's it
[S] And then you're done
[S] Look at it shining. You can see my reflection of my face in the fingers.
[M] Just even it out
[Soozie] What is this?
[S] It's like quesidilla
[S] Yeah
[S] (Gibberish)
[M] We dropped it, it's gone
[S] This is so greasy
You can see the paper underneath
is now transparent
[S] This is like a Korean face mask now that I can put on
and absorb the spirit of Texas.
I can at least lick it
[M] Oh Simon no
[S] That was a bad idea
[M] That was a terrible idea
[S] Not gonna do that again
[M] We made it!
[S] We are so full from all the eating and drinking that we've done
but I am pretty sure that if we didn't do a video in front of WhataBurger
we would be henceforth banned from Texas
So we are going to have late night WhataBurger
because that's what we're supposed to do
[M] I just wanna say, we lost Leigh
Soozie's barely hanging in there
[S] Soozie
[S and M] WhataBurger! Whataburger! Whataburger! WhataBurger!
[M] According to Twitter we were supposed to get the Patty Melt
which I think is in Texas style toast
[S] Okay
[M] Is my guess
[M] So we got a Patty Melt which looks like cheese and burger and toast
[M] And we got the honey butter biscuit [S] This is a honey butter chicken biscuit
[M] And sweet tea
[S] Let's go
[M] Ching
[M] I believe I requested some sugar in my tea
[S] Soozie this is
pretty sweet
[M] Did you try the sweet tea Soozie?
[M] That was like exactly my reaction
[Soozie] Wow
[Soozie] They don't mess around with sweet
[M] Right?
[M] Good?
[S] Oh mercy
[M] This is something you make at home
when you don't have buns
[S] I know. Yup
[M] Look at these grilled onions in here
[S] You see that?
[M] You see this?
[S] Cheese wizz and two patties
Texas toast and lots of cheese
[M] Oh my god
[M] That's the win
[S] That's amazing isn't it?
[M] These biscuits are so soft and buttery
[S] Okay
[S] Let's come to a decision right now
[S] If you had to choose between Whataburger and In-and-Out.
what would you choose?
[M] Oh my god
[S] My answer is-
[S] And that's what we would choose if we had to choose between In-and-Out and WhataBurger
[M] I wonder if people are surprised by that
[S] I think that's a very fair decision
[M] Yeah
[M] So that's it for our amazing Houston food crawl
we ate all of this food in one day.
[M] Can you believe that? [S] One day
[M] I am like so full
[S] Now I'm sure a lot of you are gonna be upset that we missed out on some special places
please let us know in the comments what we should go to next time we come to Houston
so that we can do this right!
[M] Oh my god. There was so much food I wanted to eat but I couldn't
[S] We didn't have any pecan pie yet
[M] I know! Oh my god!
[S] We didn't have pecan pie
[M] We didn't go to Poison Girl
[S] Next time
[M] We didn't go to the Shack Resort
[M] It's with the burgers that are like-
[S] Oh they have the grilled cheese instead of buns and you put in macaroni and cheese
then you put a bun and uah
[S] Next time
[M] Next time
[S] Next time Houston
[M] Next time
