You don't want to haul your luggage around for an extended period in the uncovered bed of a pickup. It will get dirty. Take the advise of pickup owners here. We've been around the block. ;O)
For renting a vehicle for a family of four(with needed luggage capacity), you might consider a midsize-to-large SUV. You are correct in protecting your luggage, in the possibility of rainy weather. It can be sunny & dry here one day, then cloudy, with rain the next. I really enjoy your videos.
I was going to comment to get a Chevy Tahoe or Suburban to get that truck like feeling with a secured luggage area...
I agree with this. I know you may like to drive a nice big truck but they aren’t that safe and a large SUV would have more space and enough space for your family and luggage to be comfortable.
A Ford Excursion is the same as a pickup but the back is fully enclosed.
I agree, you don't want a family of 4 on a road trip in a pickup with an open bed. Just an FYI. Ford replaced the Excursion with the Expedition XL. @@Deadcntr
Most of the really large SUVs are built on a truck chassis
Texas is unlike any other State! I live in Nebraska and it’s awesome as well. each State brings its own contribution to America!
It's called Taste of Texas and it's in Houston. tomahawk steaks are not cheap ...ever ...especially in a restaurant. You could spend $500 on a family of 4 just for the steaks alone.
if you all got an individual tomahawk, but they tend to be massive steaks. the last tomahawk i got fed 3 people and i still couldn't finish it. took me about 6 months before i wanted to eat steak again after trying to push through that much steak, they're generally 2 to 3 pounds of steak.
The Taste of Texas is an awesome restaurant, I live about 10 minutes away from it. Anytime I have visitors from out of state, and this is their first time in Texas, this is where I take them first.
Their salad bar is pretty amazing too!
The BBQing and smoking is a learning process but you can end up with some great chili with the training pieces.
For driving around with luggage, I suggest a nice full size SUV, like others have said. They come in two and three row seating, but for the four of you and probably lots of luggage, I say get one with two rows of seats and you'll have leg room for the kids and room for luggage behind them. If one with three rows of seats is all they have available, you can fold down the third row for luggage.
A pickup isn't going to allow you all to nearly fully recline to relax and sleep, either. My brother has a long bed pick up with a removable locking cover, and has only driven it a few times for vacations with the luggage locked in the back, but they prefer the comfort of the SUVs and his Mercedes, but the Mercedes won't hold all the luggage for his wife, daughter and him, and the truck doesn't allow his little girl to recline enough for sleeping.
Driving around with luggage in the back of an open pickup is advertisement for someone to possibly steal or damage your items. I'm just thinking that it could happen because I've never heard of it happening, and that's because my family and friends only drive SUVs when traveling long distances,and our luggage is always locked inside, alarm on, with tinted windows whenever we stop by a restaurant or a store.
Also, depending on how much shopping you do, you can try renting one with a luggage rack on top, get some waterproof containers, put them on top, cover and secure with a tarp. I wouldn't put any of great value up there, because in case it's damaged, stolen or falls off, it's not a huge loss.
I'm not trying to scare you about things being stolen, and I really don't hear about people having things stolen from luggage racks. I'm just trying to give you something to think about because you truly never know what will happen. I don't think you'll be in any neighborhoods like the Griswolds in the movie "Vacation". 😄
We went on a cruise and drove a little over six hours from northeast Alabama to New Orleans, LA in my sister-in-law's Chevy Tahoe (older model) which had three rows of seats, and five adults rode comfortably with our pillows and blankets. My brother drove and didn't use a pillow and blanket, but still....😊
She now has a brand new Land Rover, and I'm ready to travel. 😀
We were supposed to go to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge during Christmas, but we all ended up getting sick.
Safe travels!
US cows don't have cuts that are unavailable anywhere else. Find yourself a butcher and just tell him what you want. You can get a tomahawk steak in any country that eats beef.
Start with pork shoulder, chops, or ribs on the new smoker. Pig is the easiest meat to smoke when practicing or familiarizing yourself with new equipment. Hope to see yall visit the US soon.
The tomahawk steak and the ribeye are the same steak, except for the bone in the tomahawk. Ribeye is my favorite cut of steak!
And a little less $ per pound.
It's the best!! Gotta be thick too, I don't even cook thin ribeyes
@@blainebourg2792 I agree!
@@blainebourg2792 thin ribeye has a place, just not as steaks. it makes great stir fry and cheesesteak sandwiches.
When you do your grilling or smoking do it live on you tube and I'm sure many of us will be there to watch and give advice if you had any questions. Can't wait to see it.
Traveling in an RV, you don't have ANY of the hotel expenses. Sooo, it's usually quite a bit cheeper to drive your hotel room.
Lived and worked in Texas for many years and they have the best steaks and BBQ IMHO. I was drooling watching this wishing I was back.
Native TEXAN grandma here. Loving your video
I always put butter on whatever meat I’m grilling it makes it so good.
Butter with garlic works great for me. A chef friend turned me on to it years ago. It's at least one thing that made his steaks fantastic.
I live in Texas. You should come check it out! The people are cool, the food is great!
...and get a better feel for "real America".
I'm not a big dessert person either but I love pecan pie
Glad to hear Garren scored a few goals! 🏒 Great job, Lil man!😊
Look at an SUV not a pickup. You don't want stuff in the bed of a pickup if you are driving around here in Texas. I know it probably sounds great to say you drove a Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado but just ..don't.
Let the man have his fun!
Tomahawk is a ribeye with the bone French cut
-Someone hook this family up with an RV/camper van
I just went to merch page and noted all proceeds go to their "America travel fund". BTW, kudos to the creator of the sun dial logo. It is great!
Taste of Texas Restaurant in Houston.
Pecan trees in the south can get crazy big. There have been reports of a single tree producing over a half a ton of nuts in a single season. Now can you imagine having something like that in your front yard?
Yes, I can.
Georgia (Jawja) has over 6000 of them.
It’s the only nut born and raised in the Americas.
@@DeAnne1233 I live in North Cackalacky. My dad had five of them in his yard. Guess what we were doing in autumn?
@@oldcodger4371 Well that’s weird, all I said was there are 6000 pecan trees in Georgia but apparently my message was deleted.
Anyway, yep I can imagine what you’ll be doing. A lot of, two in one hand, nut cracking. 😁
Our Christmas stockings always had a variety of mixed nuts (with shells) at the toe; almonds, pecans, walnuts, brazillians, red pastachios, chest nuts and peanuts.
Doubtful todays gen knows what any of them look like in the shells or how to get them out, nor would they be accepted as ‘real gifts’.
@@DeAnne1233 Just imagine people starving to death with food all around them a plenty.
You can rent a Z71 Tahoe or AT4 Yukon to get a truck like experience that is just as capable for any light off roading.
Really just depends on how much you value a "protected" interior cargo space vs unprotected cargo space of a truck.
You know what you want more than us but as a truck owner I would choose a car or SUV to travel and vacation with a family over a truck.
Hell rent a Cadillac and ride in comfort haha
Hurry up and get over here! 😆 Love from Pennsylvania!!
I like to smoke ribeyes for about 45 minutes at low temperature and pull and sear them before they start cooking internally. So good.
I'm thinking that when they talked about how wide the roads are, they may have been referring to Interstate 10 in Houston, known to us as the Katy Freeway. (It goes through Katy, TX) Look up Katy freeway and you'll see that in some places there are a many as 26 lanes!
here in northeastern Kentucky, the quail is known as the Bob White....
I’ve always found that steak with the bones has more flavor than boneless. Some say boneless is cheaper to buy at the supermarket or butcher shop because they charge by weight but not always as often boneless is a higher price per weight.
A beautiful family like yours will do well in any vehicle across the United States.
You should try to rent a diesel Yukon XL or a diesel suburban 2024 model you’ll get like 30mpg and you can fit everything and everyone and have room for Gavin’s hockey team 😊
The best tip on cooking Steak is don't over cook it. Yes it depends on the cut type but mostly rare to medium rare is best. I hope you guys are able to come to the US soon, make sure to bring more money than you think you may need.
I love your channel I enjoy seeing you react to everything. From Florida
Be safe
If you buy those steaks in Slovakia, go for the thickest you CAN find and put them in the fridge for a few days, until they start to brown/age. Brown steaks don't seem to sell well, even though they have a more distinct flavor and are MUCH more tender. Everyone seems to want to buy a pink steak.
The key to bbq-ing to take your time. And don’t turn up the heat to rush the cooking. Slow burn is better than torching it. Obviously, it depends on the steak. Get yourself a steak cookbook. And in Texas, everyone has an SUV. Trucks are for workers.
We are spoiled with our abundant American beef in the US. It’s easy to find great steaks anywhere here in Texas.
Do your meat like we in Texas do a tough brisket. Cook it low and slow. We smoke our brisket for 10-16 hours at 275 Fahrenheit
How do you guys take your steaks? I have an iron deficiency, so I get them as rare as I can (some restaurants call it “blue” because it’s borderline raw). The rarer the steak, the more iron is in it. I used to take them medium rare before the deficiency
Tip for pausing the video. Use the K button or space bar. Also, J skips back 10 seconds and L skips forward 10 seconds. The left arrow key skips back 5 seconds and the right arrow key skips forward 5 seconds.
Why do I always end up watching these when I’m so hungry!!
You can’t find good steaks there because I’m sure the stores don’t sell USDA prime ribeyes.
And that restaurant, Taste of Texas, is legendary here in Houston. The wait to be seated can be really long sometimes though. But it’s worth it!
A tomahawk steak is just a rib steak that they haven't cut the end of the long rib bone off. The same steak without the bone at all is a ribeye. The steak the Jolly guys are eating is probably a 16 oz rib steak plus the long bone. Could be slightly larger, maybe 18-20 oz. That size steak is a common choice on menus here in the US, not just Texas. One person can definitely polish it off, though many people will have trouble with the cheesecake dessert if they also had a salad and baked potato.
As far as driving a pickup, you probably can't rent one with a bed cover. You can probably get a full-size SUV like a Suburban. That will give the same driving experience as a pickup, but with more interior room and no pickup bed. If you were able to get a crew cab pickup you could get 4 people and luggage inside, as long as you don't have too much luggage.
if you rent a pickup truck, make sure you get a crew cab that seats 5 comfortly.... hate to see you get to texas and they give you a standard cab that seats 2
A pickup seems like a poor choice for this type of trip. The pickups most rental companies offer are usually smaller single cab models, and they typically don't have a bed cover, so your luggage will be out in the sun, dirt, and rain, and will be prone to theft. Get a SUV or crossover. Even a smaller one will have much more space for people and luggage than a single cab pickup.
I get the best rental deals through Costco. I don't know if Costco is in Slovakia, but it may make sense to sign up for one year just to get the discount. They also allow a second driver at no added cost.
At Taste of Texas the Tomahawk steak is $125 and the Cowboy is $82.
I still think it’s insane to charge by weight when you add the bone-in.
Paying half for the souvenir bone to take home for the dogs.
Wagu beef isn’t even that expensive.
Not in a million years would I pay 125.00 for that when I can get a fat ribeye or tenderloin without the bone for under 50.00 at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.
I really enjoy your podcasts!
16:40 You can say either "pecan" or you can also say "pecan". It doesn't really matter. We will use both pronunciations in America.
Don't worry about the pronunciation of Pecan, it is pronounced differently here too depending on what part of the country you're in
They may have a link in their description of the video you watched of where they were. Or maybe not! But worth a look. I can easily eat one of those steaks myself with a loaded baked potato. Now my mouth is watering. You guys have a great day. Hope you get the funds and time to visit Texas.
it's called Taste of Texas and it's in Houston.
We grow blueberries and strawberries here in Fla.
Here in the US, it seems like most meat in the stores I thin cut and what is called thin slice is paper thin.

I wouldn't talk . I would be busy eating my steak.
Cave man it.🤣 Much to my wife's disappointment I do that all the time.
Why do You Tuber's act like Texas is the only state where you can get a good steak or BBQ? Kansas City, Missouri has the best BBQ & there are some highly rated steakhouses in Chicago & across the country.
Because in Texas we are better and we know it.
Because it is 😂
Everything is bigger and better in Texas
A truck will eat your wallet in gas. I agree with the midsized or large suv. A truck is ok for one person traveling but not so much for four people.
i find it hard to believe Jono has never had a ribeye steak before. thats all a tomahawk is, the ribeye with a longer rib bone still attached.
Deep cur and slow BBQ ... works. Quality matters. Memory ... best steak was Filet Mignon in Laramie Wyoming with my dad ... in 1967. Unforgettable.
Medium-rare to medium will give you the most tender bite - even on tougher cuts of steak. If you're roasting, it's low and slow for as long as you're willing to wait. Like, 250 degrees F for at least six hours. You basically can't lose. (Smoking is beyond my experience, so I can't speak with any authority on that.) 🙂
I thought Jono was having a stroke when that truffle butter was dripping from the tomahawk steak.
If you rent a pickup, not only would you have to worry about your luggage getting wet if it rains. I'd also worry about it being stolen out of the back of the cab. I'd suggest you rent an suv instead of a pickup truck.
They are really expensive wherever you purchase.(Tomahawk Steaks). But, to be fair, it should serve 2-3 people, typically.
You might want to look into renting a top for the truck you are renting... prob not from same place you get the truck, but a rental place where they rent tools and 'accessories' for equipment (as well as equipment) and vehicles, like tow packages etc... I think some also rent tents etc... which you might want to do part of the time, (will help w/ costs too) just get your reservations in early for the national/state parks where you want to investigate.
A good steakhouse will have 3+ lbs steaks, but they often go for as much as $150ea. Ribeye without the bone is a little cheaper.
Someone mentioned renting a hybrid SUV (non-plug in) to save gas and gear. Worth checking into. He could also just go to any dealership and test drive a pickup (under the guise of buying it) LOL
That's a good call on the reservations for the parks. Not all but some require them or you can't get in, some just fill up for the summer. You don't want to get turned away.
Barbecue takes practice! Don't expect your first few to turn out perfect, but with patience and practice you'll get better and better. Follow good instructions from pit masters online and you'll be right as rain and eatin good! And the reason you like pastries or desserts with nuts in them is because the nuts add a little bit of a savoryness to it offsetting the sweet. And if you're anywhere near Granbury, Texas give me a holler! I'd be happy to take you to some great barbecue or fried catfish, whatever!
I am surprised the ski resort doesn't have a snow maker.
We want to see your chicjen coop! Chickens are great. Meat and eggs plus good for the garden/flowers!🐓🐔🐣☘️🌷
I live next to a blueberry farm so Garon would be in heaven here.
Taste of Texas on west side of Houston.
Also you missed the joke on world's widest freeway being close by to them.
Look up Katy freeway.
Remember it takes quite a few times for the smoke to build up on the insides of your smoker to achieve the true bbq taste. It also takes a lot of practice and desire to do it right. Hang in there. It will be worth it.
I would tell you to rent a sedan when you come here. But if you have always wanted a pick-up, why not? Gas is pretty cheap here. I think it was the 'Mr H & Friends' channel that found a Tomahawk steak that wasn' t over the top expensive. They may have said where they were in the video. I don't remember.
Just so you know they have these foods in every state.
You want rent a mid-sized SUV for travels. Comfortable for the family with the luggage capacity. 😊
Pecan pie 🥧 is king 🤴
I love it! I also love a good strawberry-rhubarb pie.
yuke; yuke yuke
Pecan pie is very sweet but its also one of the best pies youll ever.
I Love Garlic Butter on stake
That steak looks delicious. If you don’t want to pay Tomahawk prices just order a ribeye-my favorite. Is that Ollie’s ranking for that fabulous Pecan Pie before or after the Bananas Foster at Brennan’s in New Orleans? It’s a tough call either way. I definitely lean towards the Bananas Foster though. An amazing experience AND a taste of heaven on earth!
They should have filmed the moment they looked at the check🥲
Here in America, a man does not share his tomahawk steak. I ordered a giant steak because I wanted a giant steak and I don't want anyone to make it less giant.
Ive been a lot of shows about beef and cattle and it seems more people the world over says Scotish Highland beef is the best! The marbling and texture of the meat is fantastic. Unlike most cattle breeds that only graze Highlands graze and browse and that makes a more complex flavor. Every country has is favorite beef breed but in all the cold to moderate climates, Highlands seem the be the favorite and are spreading quickly! And yes, bone adds flavor as your wife pointed out about chicken. ❤🐔
You don't live in Texas, do you?
New Zealand has great beef also. But Texas' beef is unique, especially when a Texan BBQs
@@zackster1973 OH NO! I live in Ohio thank goodness!
pickup and a big tent
You should research videos on how to butcher meat yourself. Don't know about Slovakia, but in the US, it can cost up to half as much to buy a quarter or half a hog or steer and butcher yourself. You'll need some freezer room though.
Pecan pie excruciatingly sweet. I'd tou don't like sweets, try a bite from someone else else's dessert. I hope you come to America.
My favorite is Prime Rib, but I have yet to meat (pun intended) a steak I don't like. ;P My son is transferring to Fort Worth, and he wants me to move there with him, maybe purchase a home or rent, but prices seem a bit high atm.
whats your overall plan when you come to US? im in Arizona depending wherein texas u go .only a 12- 18 hour drive. it would be cool to have whoever can make it. go to the lake and fish and boat and wrestle gators. then cook come bbq while the kids fight and break bones.; we sit back and laugh with our adult beverages
Jono never mentions it, but they have a travel fund set up, the link is in the video description area if anyone would like to help them get to the USA !
I hope you guys got some money because a tomahawk steak is about $100 multiply that by 4 and you're looking at a huge bill + tip. I'm pretty sure that these guys get their meals comped or at a reduced amount for exposure on youtube.
It's better to buy uncut cut of beef, when on sale.
Your new smoker will be perfect for the meats you can get over there.
Kat is just so pretty! The whole family is just awesome! You will go nuts when you get here for steaks! I am not the best cook but the quality of beef we get is nearly fool proof. Word to the wise, do not go to any chain restaurants while you are here. Especially for steaks! Outback and Applebees are a joke.
A tomahawk steak costs about $50 dollars in the grocery store. They average 2½ pounds.
Beef must be aged before its cut into steaks and served. Minimum of 30 days, I prefer 45 - 50 days. The steak you see is red because its too fresh. The aging process darkens the meat and breaks down the fibers to tenderize the meat. A proper aged and cooked steak does not even require teeth to eat. I kid you not.
Jono, could you please turn up the sound on your end, it's very quiet.
I've had Key Lime pie, and it's sooo good. I can't imagine doing something so dumb as frying it!
If you've ever seen an old American TV cartoon called The Flintstones, you know what I'm saying when I compare these steaks to a brontosaurus steak that they had at a drive-in restaurant in the program's intro section.
This was an interesting and fun video; the only problem was that the volume on them was turned down so low that, although I could always hear them, if I so much as cleared my throat, I'd have to rewind. If I were to have a hearing problem in the slightest, I'd be unable to catch any of their dialogue. Could you work on that in the next video? Thanks.
Key lime pie originated in Florida's chain of islands between Miami and Key West, called the Florida Keys.
I get a 'kick' out of the pronunciation of pecan as peekin', because it sounds like you're "peekin'" around the corner" when you eat it.
I had never heard of deep fried key lime pie; sounds absolutely horrible; almost as bad of hearing of fried butter; nonsense
You don’t dump truffle butter on top of the steak! You dip pieces into it.
Also, a lesson to everyone who doesn’t live in the U.S.:
pea-can
pea-KAHN
peakn
All pronunciations are OKAY! There’s no right or wrong.
There is a 72 ounce steak challenge in texas.
Rent a mini van good on gas. Safer for your luggage. Comfortable ride.
Be sure to butter both sides of your steaks before grilling!
Definitely!
He's talking about BBQ-ing, not grilling steaks. Smoking a brisket for the first time, mate. He doesn't want to mess that up, but he's been watching a bunch of good videos and he'll do fine I think. He's got a pretty good handle on grilling meat already.
This is bad advice. Don't slather butter onto your steaks before grilling. The butter will burn easily. You can baste them with butter while they're cooking or lay some butter on them while they're resting on the cutting board after cooking.
BUY A TENT TO USE WITH YOUR PICKUP TRUCK
what a bad idea; it would be their first trip here and it would be to keep thing simple; a SUV is more practical and they can keep their belongings locked and dry
If the strakes are real red that’s because they don’t have marbling or are properly aged
Pecan pie is better in New Orleans. Key Lime pie is better in Florida.
Your entire family seems to be genuinely kind and wonderful people. This is my second time making a very modest contribution, which is the correct thing to do given the amount of work it is to create these videos and the pleasure it provides. I have traveled extensively internationally. Most counties have good points and bad points. The US is no exception. I'll NEVER say that it's the greatest country, but it is a great country. However, I am very critical of it, because I want it to be better and better, and I know it has the potential to be. Please put this towards your trip fund.
RUclips takes 30% of any donations made thru youtube. It would be better to donate directly to their travel fund. There is a link in the video description.
Thank you very much for letting me know@@justmeiniowa
You should be sure to ask what the cost of these meals are from your Texas viewers, because I'm betting it's pretty expensive
I looked it up. The tomahawk steak is $125. The entire meal was probably around $350 for two, not including drinks.

If you have an email address let us know. I can send you a set of charts that show all the cuts of Bee, Pork, Chicken. That way you can goto a real butcher and get it cut to order.
Also you can improve the taste of any cut of meat by cooking it Low and Slow
