Off the Rez catered my wedding in 2012! They're such good folks, and their food is delicious. Super stoked to see them on here!
H*ll Yeah
yeeeeaahhh
Hell Yeah!!
Navajo here from the Diné tribe. Just want to say thank you for the recognition of the Native Americans here in the U.S. And this video was informative and made me hungry asf. Hahah.
Not an American. Sorry about all that was done to your people. Tragic.
Canadian here 😤
@Jay Dude - John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Mark 1:15 - “The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
@@hiddengem4293 That garbage religion separated Indigenous families and assisted in the murder of millions…. Bloody, gutty religion
Although fry bread has been around awhile, it is not Native food. They were rations of flour so “generously” given to the Natives by their colonizers
More on the Native American community would be great!
Agreed
Im from long island ny. I only ever have fry bread at home, or at a pow wow. Its totally awesome to see on a food truck.
Back in 2009 a group of my friends from the UK visited Seattle and the reservations around Olympic peninsula; we visited with the Makah, Quileute, Jamestown S’Klallam and Suquamish Nations. I was introduced to fry bread on the Makah Reservation, when we had a cookout on the beach and some of the community cooked for us. I had my first Indian Taco whilst attending the Tribal Canoe Journey on Suquamish Reservation. They tasted awesome. And don’t get me started on huckleberries... the jam is soooo good. On my last visit to Seattle last year I brought some home. I didn’t bring enough!
fry bread - a necessity food item born out of rations of flour and lard
EXACTLY... I know it well when we lived in Oklahoma... loved it.
Okay, some of the Hungarians in the comments who can’t seem to grasp the concept of different cultures having similar foods, we get it you have a version of fried bread too.
Nice! That's my opinion too. If a food is easy to make and delicious than all cultures have a name for it. And who cares if Americans named Lángos to Fried Bread. So what? Even Gulash is present in many countrys menus. But the Hungarian Gulash, is the Hungarian Gulash, so the Hungarian fried bread are Lángos. (Man i'm hungry i think i'll get some Fried Bread i mean Lángos in the morning :D) And i'm hungarian, and i'm not butthurt (like the other Hungarian commenters in here :D ) if another country make a similar food than the ones in my country. :D
Peace!
True, fry bread is a staple in NZ too.
Eros Delorenzi 😘👌🏽All around the world deliciousness.
Yeah i hate that mentality of "We made it first" but rather the idea that cultures can inadvertently be shared is somehow ignored for sake of competition.
Yea youtiao in Chinese lol
Sheldon you are so awesome, positive and sincere. You are great!
Good to see my heritage used in good services. I've always find it sad that our history of food has been ignored and erased instead of shared and celebrated.
Great to see Native American food getting a platform.
When I worked out on the street in Seattle a few years back doing ticket sales the guys from this truck used to hook me up with fry bread all the time - some seriously cool dudes!
Growing up in Montana, this really makes me miss it. Thanks for sharing their story.
bruh all their stuff looks so freaking good
yessir
Cherokee from the Mcraw tribe here, as the Navajo dude here said, thanks for the recognition here! Looks amazing! 🪶 🦅 (Fun fact: eagle is the spiritual animal of the Mcraw tribe!
I am half Native American, and fry bread is a must! We never lived on the tribe’s reservation, but when we do go back one of my aunts already has the dough ready to fry some bread because she knows we want some. We try to make it at home, but it isn’t the same like my aunt does it. It does something to you when you eat it. It is like it connects to your soul, and we eat it up. As far as I can remember, I have been eating fry bread. From the time a baby can eat solid food, fry bread is given to a Native American child. Fry bread is a part of Native American culture, and it just makes you remember all the good times you had sitting and enjoying being with each other. Some have passed on, but you just remember. I love being Native American!!
I have these every time I go back to Oklahoma. The ones we have are as big as a plate.
That'a how big they should be and round with no friggin holes!
No wheat flour; no milk, sugar, any oil and lard in dough mix. Just AP flour, salt, baking powder and salt.
Only fry in lard, no oils and no Crisco.
Navajo Taco toppings: boiled pinto beans with bacon., browned ground beef (seasoned or taco mix optional), shredded lettuce, diced fresh tomatos, shredded Colby/Jack cheese, chopped white onion. roasted & diced Hatch NM green chile or Hot Pace Picante sauce. Optional: Black olives. sour cream and guacamole.
I live in Oklahoma and I would love to know where you get the from and what part of Oklahoma if you don’t mind me asking
@@maribenzo9881 I lived a mile or so from the Choctaw Nation capital in Tuskahoma, they serve Fry Bread Tacos (usually called Indian Tacos) at the Labor Day festival on the Choctaw Capital grounds. I also get them home made at my friend's house.
Used to have fry bread all the time as a kid in New Zealand. I loved them hot with butter and Golden Syrup.
Off The Rez is amazing!!! I recommend it to everyone that's in Sea. They were stationed in the parking lot of my job for about 2 weeks and I ate it everyday 😂
Frybread is a labor intensive dish, which is why a lot of time it's done for special events or pow wow season. A spot on the Grand Ronde rez used to have the Skookum Burger. Which was a HUGE burger made with huge frybread buns. It was one of those challenge burgers. Skookum is a word from my coastal tribe that means the equivalent of demon.
Fry bread is amazing. First had it at the Alabama Coushatta reservation in Texas’s Great Piney Woods. Instantly fell in love with it. All the better with good venison sausage
We also fry bread like that in Galicia. Seeing those tacos reminds me of what I do with my bread when I feel fancy but I mostly like it simple. If I ever visit Seattle I'll try to try this!
Just had some Indian tacos Lastnight 😋😋
Congratulations on taking a risk. I always thought of a food truck with native food. Someone always beats me to what I'm thinking about. I hope you continue to serve the people and native people. Best wishes.
I love fry bread native tacos. The best. So good.
First I had native tacos at a pow wow in Turlock CA super fry bread is yummy
As a traditional Navajo
One of my things to master is making dough and the fry bread
I'm surprised that this is the only fry bread joint in Seattle. It's all over Portland. And visit any national park and the nearby cities in the U.S. west and you'll likely find fry bread and/or "Navajo" tacos. I've seen them in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Not my first choice but fry bread is quite tasty indeed. Another cool Sheldon episode. 👍
Right, and it took forever to come to Seattle too. In the elementary schools out there, the kids have fry bread every year during the Native American celebrations, but once you leave the sixth grade, there is seemingly no place to get it. All of the Native American restaurants in the area seem to snub their nose to the food and instead focus on things like salmon.
I'm from Portland and I've only had the hyped food trucks and the ones that used to be on MLK. Any recommendations?
+Mark F As a local you would know best. I do a lot of food research before I visit a city/country and noticed a few years ago that fry bread was a big thing in your city. But since Portland is over the top with outstanding restos, I never got around to it. Sorry, mate.
us Natives don't call it "navajo tacos " 😂 them navajo's think they invented everythang 😂💀 we just call them Frybread or Popovers on the rez.
+DeeCee I know that. That is precisely why I put Navajo in quotes.
I'm full-blooded, I'm half Shoshoni-Bannock, half Blackfeet. I'm so proud to see your biz thrive. WELL DONE!
I work for a private non profit club in AZ. Your food looks amazing and I hope to incorporate a few of your ideas in a charity event. Thank you and have a prosperous year!
They are amazing. I hope they are doing ok in this pandemic.
I Love this host... Munchies take note! this is how you do a food show!
This is amazing. The tribes must love this slice of home. Need the whole menu to go, please.
Awesome to see you doing this! Im going to make fry bread topped with cinnamon sugar to go with a morning coffee. I live on a reservation in NW British Columbia Canada. Im going to open a pop up coffee shop this summer. Congratulations again 🎉👏. Yay for the First Nation
That huckleberry fry bread looks so good!!
Broo the "pow wow burger" is called a bannock burger in Canada
Lol where I’m from we all call it bannock lmao nobody where I’m from call it frybread
Its an Apache burger in San Carlos, AZ 🙂
@@lamardavis4653 its only bannock in Canada in America its frybread.
@@amstevens23 we have fried bannock too, which is same thing as frybread.
@@amstevens23 it goes by both in any pow wow ive been to in quebec and ontario
The tacos are to die for! A Washington classic!
I learned how to make fry bread from my Ojibwa grandmother as well
Great show 👍🏽
I think every indigenous culture has a version of fry bread.
We have our own here in New Zealand 🇳🇿.
Dzz NuttZz Every US Tribe has their own version as well. It's a globally loved bread for sure lol.
There needs to be more fry bread food trucks. Stat!
Basically the same as Langos from Hungary. When I was in Budapest I had it with sour cream, cheese and chives as well as a burger. Now I know if I'm ever in Seattle to try the taco and huckleberry jam styles.
I am Cree/ Mohawk/ Arcadian and I love Navajo fry bread plain! I make it often!
the hungarian langos is like the italian pizza, it was born out of a way to use up leftover bread dough. native american frybread is different in that it was never intended to be baked in an oven so it is fresh dough intended to be fried, not leftover old dough. the hungarian dough also frequently contained potatoes, something native american frybread never has.
This looks amazing I love how he covers the culture of each restaurant or food truck.
the conversation they had at the end was one of the best ever had on an eater video.
OMG>>>yummmm! Well now I know where to go whenever I'm ever in Seattle! (And yep, you can tell he's Blackfeet...he's got that Browning accent! hehe)
They should franchise this place. I would start one up here in Canada. It looks dang good.
I want to learn how to make fry bread this looks bomb AF
Wow this is crazy I've been trying to start the same thing up in my city. I love this.
My grandmother use to make me this bread all the time as a kid just like this. And we are Puerto Rican.
Most cultures have some kind of fried bread.
Same for dumplings, lots of cultural spins!
lhamilt yes we make something called “guanimes” it’s basically what other cultures call cornmeal dumpling we eat it boiled or fried. Boiled with some type of stewed protein such as bacalao guisado aka stew cod fish or fried version dipped in sugar in the morning with coffee 😋😋😋😋
Melinda Rivera yummm!!!
I'm Puerto Rican 2 does your Nana make payaya?
Browning, Montana? Blackfeet reservation? How awesome! Thanks to Off the Rez and Eater for representing Montana so well!
Oh my gods... This looks so good! Sheldon always finds the best spots.
Oh lord, what did I do to be blessed with this video? I never knew there were so many variations. I only thought about traditional Indian tacos, Wojapi sauce, and dipping it in soup soup soup. My mom would use bread for burgers, prairie dogs, and ham sandwiches and that was it. Now I'm going to ask her to experiment more and more. ^^
These look killer. I use to always get Fry bread tacos at every powwow I went to when I lived in Las Vegas. I'll be going to Potowatami powwows this spring!
In Mexico we called this buñuelos with sugar and cinnamon or maple!😋👍🏼
Fry bread tacos are amazing
In Hawaii when they have the Pow Wows they sell that. Either fry bread tacos or with honey. The tacos are bomb!
I made some fry bread tacos at home came out like a bomb I put taco seasoning in beef roserita refried beans lettuce cheese tomatoes salsa jalapenos side dish Mexican fried rice
was sitting here trying to come up with a special tomorrow for the restaurant. got it! thanks, guys. this food looks amazing.
EXCELLENT VIDEO...
Najavo Taco... same bread.. just make a TACO shell out of it...
We call it "Puffy Taco" here in New Mexico ...
Oh man, I love everything about this.
They all look amazing!!
Yummm!! Awesome video, love the history share as well..great work
Omg I live on the Rez in its one of the thing that is my comfort food
Yesss a frybread taco truck!! 😭💕
I'm native myself and it always comes as a surprise to mr seeing people have interest in our culture, mostly people talk about other races and not about native americans often.
Wow that looks really amazing!
As a Navajo that bread looks pretty good. Great Vid.
We need to see a video with the the deadly trio ; sheldon,lucas and matt 😂
Correction: Sheldon, Lucas and NICK.
nick's tha man, man
Wait who's Matt? Sheldon and Lucas are the goats I know that
Same fried bread in Bulgaria too, delicious either sweet or salty.
I came across this channel and watching it....interesting because every natives frybread are different....and some are wheat/ blue corn frybread!!! Awesome..
I think fried bread is a commonwealth country thing. We have it here in Fiji, New Zealand
Made from scratch, looks bomb 😁
dude this is effing amazing. HELL YES!
You Rock! Thanks for Representing...
Braddah Sheldon, always love your videos. You proudly rep da 808 and neva forget wea you come from. Stay ha'aha"a 🤙
We're the second to start a food truck here in yakima county for ndn tacos and burgers as well stuffed frybread ect so happy they started 1st just ate at their Cafe last week and we as well have a restaurant now in Toppenish Wa A&B Native American cuisine
I know he said it’s neat that it’s true American food but really, our people were given rations by the government and fry bread came out of that. Takin lemons and turning into lemonade kinda thing. 😊
I run a food truck called The bannock Mobile in Alberta Calgary, dope to see you guys doing it up.
U forgot to aaaaa
Mmmmmmmmm.... Frybead I love Frybead ♥
Where I'm from they are called Navajo tacos
This is a much better food truck than the one in the More Than Frybread (2011) Movie. Great video :)
aww man, they need a monte cristo with that fry bread and huckleberry jam.
Edward's Sisters'Hands what's Monte cristo
A Monte Cristo is a fried ham and cheese sandwich, a variation of the French croque-monsieur. In the 1930s-1960s, American cookbooks had recipes for this sandwich under such names as "French Sandwich", "Toasted Ham Sandwich", and "French Toasted Cheese Sandwich".[1] Swiss cheese is typically used.

I first had fry bread at the Hopi Cultural Center years ago. I've been a fan ever since
These look AMAZING
I had this at a place right beside the Little Bighorn National Monument. This video is giving me cravings now.
I always look forward to the Powow at the Morongo Casino every year. My favorite is the Hualapai people of Northern Arizona.
and now me, over at least five different seas over, salivating for these 😧😩 no way i can get these anywhere near, thanks
Learn the recipe and make and sell them
Navajo taco and Navajo burger
This just inspires me to start a food truck to share our Navajo culture with the different ethical backgrouds of amerca through food. Here on the Navajo reservation I can only think of 2 restraunts that specialize in Native American cuisine. Besides that the only other place to get native food is at a local swapmeet.
Fry bread are bakes in Trinidad n Tobago. Bake n Shark in Maracas beach: pepper sauce , garlic sauce, tambrand chutney, mango chow with a Shandy.
Really nice food like that your using huckle berry jam. The burger looks awesome.
Oasis 47 on highway 447 in Nevada! My favorite Indian taco stop on the way back from burning man!
Live in T town so looks like a trip to Seattle is in order, huckleberries yum!!
My dietary needs say no, but my heart says YES!
I'm from the enchantment land of NM on the Navajo reservation this isn't authentic Navajo cuisine but it's craftsmenship of add on is pure genius!!! Your fry bread is so delicious looking...now THAT looks juicy!!! Thank you for sharing the story! Keep up the injun cooking! Walk in blessings.
It's authentic Montana cuisine
Well this was a type of food that was introduced pretty late, as when they where on the rez, because this was the food rations they where given by the government. Back then it was probably less tasty, and fancy looking. I love how you take something so universal (many cultures have them) and simple as fry bread, and make it so tasty, and fresh. I make this maybe twice a year.
it be cool to visit that place, I used to live on the Navajo rez and moved to phoenix around 8 years ago so i’m literally “off the rez”
Amazing.
oh that looks bloody yum as!!
oh man fried bread sounds soooooooo good right about now. watching the show doesn't help with loosing winter weight.
I love this
I love it I have a food trailer called End of the trail I sell Apache dogs I am so happy , hope to see more native American out there
