Someone asked me what the video I was watching about and I immediately said," two gay brothers go to an Italian buffet in Nebraska ". Which sounds like a setup to a bad joke, but I'm glad I have such simple pleasures in life lol
@@sarajohnson6855 never in my life have I seen or heard somebody refer to anything midwestern as exotic, thank u, I needed to hear that, gunna romanticize my midwest life now
I know I could see that too while editing. I could just see both of gain a new surge of energy while ingesting all this food. It was quite magical to edit up.
That cheese pizza looked amazing, I love when pizza looks good like the ninja turtles or aristocats lmao. (This is a weird take but something my sister and I always talk about.)
i watch jacobs videos every day. i sleep to them every night. if you ever think about stopping filming jacob i will personally pay you to keep making videos. i love you guys so much.
If you do ever find yourself here for some reason you simply do have to try Culver’s, they’ve had it in a few videos, it’s a regional midwest fast food chain, they have INSANE frozen custard, like ice cream but next level
Love how Jacob said “you kinda broke the rules a little bit.” When Lucas got a few broccoli on his plate. And Lucas said “hopefully she understood and didn’t judge me too much.” 😂😂
This made me so nostalgic for going to the Pizza Hut buffets as a kid! Thanks for the fun video! I actually went to grab a mozarella breadstick from the freezer to heat up while watching this lol.
😂 "I'd like to eat my pizza without having to worry about eating fentanyl ya know" lmao also we have a buffet chain where I live called "ole times country buffet" and it's heaven 🤤
I had to google Dorothy Lynch dressing, and it's apparently basically French dressing but with a tomato base instead of oil. Never heard of it before, now I must try it. lol.
I saw it in a Food Network video during shut down, and was so intrigued because I very saucy girl and I love sauces and dips and dressings. So when we went on a road trip the next year and make sure to stop by midwest store and buy a bottle. It’s delicious. You can order it off of Amazon though I haven’t tried.
We know every time you have a new video on the timeline we know the experience we’re about to have is good. I found your channel a couple months ago, I love every video Jacob, I’m glad you posted today
Jacob, I am probably one of the only people who listens to you religiously on Spotify, but I would LOVE to have more music in the future. I only have three songs to listen to. 💔
I’m so thankful that RUclips recommended your videos. I’ve been binge watching all your channels for the past couple days. Love 💗 it. PS what was your favorite dish there? 🍝
I grew up eating at Val's buffets and now that I'm pregnant it's one of my biggest cravings, right there with Casey's breakfast pizza. very tempted to make the 8 hour drive to Nebraska City 🤣
Commercial jingle immediately emerged from the depths of my memory- "Valentino's restaurant a tradition of excellence in Italian buffet, Valentino's" Grew up I SD, those commercials were on all the time
The ice cream gets like that when the machine isn’t calibrated to mix air into the frozen dairy mix. This causes the ice cream to be less satisfying texture wise and in taste. It usually gets a yellow hue to it.
Hi! Im a new subscriber. ❤ For your demographics research purposes, I am a single middle aged pansexual woman from a forgotten place in the southeast. I love your content, and have been binge watching it for days now, to try and help qwell my anxiery about having oral surgery on June 5. ❤ Thank you for entertaining me and so many others. True talent!
I first seen a video on you two on a cruise and no joke have watched so manny old videos already, it’s like watching your favorite show on tv, I am happy I have so many more videos to watch! Love you guys, and when I was younger and lived in Lincoln Ne, there def was something nostalgic about eating at Valentino’s’ you two are perfect! Love you guyssss😘
You guys are always so hilarious, and you have a great relationship, its fun watching siblings who are bffs. (I just found your channel recently, thank you for many laughs.) eta: Lucas you killed me when you said the duck dynasty thing I was drinking water and I dunno if it was your delivery or what but I almost choked. Thank you. And you guys are good guys for being mad at crappy reviewers.
I appreciate you guys making RUclips videos in Nebraska. It makes me feel special being in Nebraska and seeing you guys go to places that I went to growing up.
We used to go to “Ponderosa” when I was a kid and it was our favorite! I don’t think there are any open still, but they seriously had the best chicken wings 😂 I still crave them sometimes lol
Mine was Royal Fork. Idk if it was a South Dakota chain or if they existed other places, too. They closed when I was still a kid but I still remember it vividly. It was “nice” as far as buffets go and as a kid I thought it was so magical that we could make our own ice cream cones 😂
My childhood buffet was a restaurant called King's Table and I feel like it was a one off, but idk it could be a chain. It had one buffet station that was huge, it had everything on it you could want, but in a like fifty foot long table, and it had themed days like fancy meat day and seafood night which was my favorite. My dad took us like twice a week cause it was fairly affordable and it was the actual best thing. It has sadly closed and my dad still talks about how much he misses King's Table.
Yet another interesting video from my favorite RUclipsrs!! Next time y'all have to get your geek on and visit the Renaissance Fair! I heard the turkey legs are MASSIVE there!
I literwlly binge and watch you guys 24/7 y'all are my comfort creators . I would love to hang out with you guys and do a RUclips video like I just know y'all are so funny 😂 anyways pls keep up the good content , hopefully I can't meet y'all one day with my private jet... we'll when I get one
My favorite was out local china buffet. They had all you can eat snow crab legs. Me and my brother would literally eat…10+ bunches of snow crab legs lol. They hated us.
The cinematography and editing used by director Jacob Cruikshank in his most recent film, "The Biggest Buffet in the Midwest," captures the decadence of the American buffet through his single-camera techniques. In what is almost an ironic take on voyeurism, Cruikshank ponders themes of gluttony and indulgence prevalent in the American Midwest.
Omg! I miss Valentino’s. I’m from Omaha and they got rid of all of the buffets and only have express Valentinos. I was so sad when I recently visited back home to see they are no longer around. Loved this video! ❤
I used to put the lemon in my water too. Tap water needs it! But I’ve heard the lemon wedges are usually the dirtiest at bars/restaurants. They don’t wash the outside of the lemons and or hands
Omg you guys should go to an MCL cafeteria. It's mainly patronized by people being bussed in from retirement homes but my dad always took me there as a kid. 😅 Would love to see your experience there.
Grew up in central Kansas on Pepsi and Dorothy Lynch. There was a Valentinos in Topeka and I definitely had it a few times. I think you could also get their pizzas to go in frozen form.
Having a drug PSA pamphlet at your restaurant table is the most violently American thing i’ve ever seen
Someone asked me what the video I was watching about and I immediately said," two gay brothers go to an Italian buffet in Nebraska ". Which sounds like a setup to a bad joke, but I'm glad I have such simple pleasures in life lol
As someone from the south, I absolutely LOVE watching all the midwest content
Same!
I’m from the northeast and I love it too
i'm from europe and love it too. we don't have anything like this lol
It's so exotic to a Californian like me 😮
@@sarajohnson6855 never in my life have I seen or heard somebody refer to anything midwestern as exotic, thank u, I needed to hear that, gunna romanticize my midwest life now
I feel like those types of PSA pamphlets belong in the restroom. Idk why but that’s where I learn.
Lucas got a sparkle in his eye after that first bite of pizza
I know I could see that too while editing. I could just see both of gain a new surge of energy while ingesting all this food. It was quite magical to edit up.
@@jacobcruikwhen you try to hit the word count on your discussion board
I know I saw that too 😂
That cheese pizza looked amazing, I love when pizza looks good like the ninja turtles or aristocats lmao. (This is a weird take but something my sister and I always talk about.)
The guy in the back making pizzas was probly on fentanyl too . Crazy world we live in
i watch jacobs videos every day. i sleep to them every night. if you ever think about stopping filming jacob i will personally pay you to keep making videos. i love you guys so much.
I couldn’t imagine a life without without Jacob and Lucas
literally spit out my coffee with the fentanyl awareness card
As a Scottish lass you’ve somehow made me want to come to the midwest solely to experience midwest chain restaurants
If you do ever find yourself here for some reason you simply do have to try Culver’s, they’ve had it in a few videos, it’s a regional midwest fast food chain, they have INSANE frozen custard, like ice cream but next level
@@seeseembo taking note of this ☺️
Love how Jacob said “you kinda broke the rules a little bit.” When Lucas got a few broccoli on his plate. And Lucas said “hopefully she understood and didn’t judge me too much.” 😂😂
as someone from the other side of the midwest, Michigan, i stan and appreciate another saga of Nebraska living ❤ you boyz
A restaurant review and intellectual life lessons? Love this
This made me so nostalgic for going to the Pizza Hut buffets as a kid! Thanks for the fun video! I actually went to grab a mozarella breadstick from the freezer to heat up while watching this lol.
omg I want to go to a Pizza Hut buffet but it seems like there is very few left
@@jacobcruik my grandma lives in Wahoo, NE and there’s still a Pizza Hut buffet there
"And an add for fentanyl!" 😳🤣😂🤣
As if that stuff needs any help with promotion.
😂 "I'd like to eat my pizza without having to worry about eating fentanyl ya know" lmao also we have a buffet chain where I live called "ole times country buffet" and it's heaven 🤤

How’d you like it?
@@teubks Yikes it's been a year and I still haven't tried it! That time went by FAST
my favorite nebraskan tour guides. im sure the midwest is thankful for you bringing awareness and visibility 🫡
“We hope, but we don’t know.” This whole video is absolute gold.

Jacob, I am probably one of the only people who listens to you religiously on Spotify, but I would LOVE to have more music in the future. I only have three songs to listen to. 💔

As someone with a valentinos in town, it’s not as good as when I was kid! But the desert is still bomb!
Commercial jingle immediately emerged from the depths of my memory- "Valentino's restaurant a tradition of excellence in Italian buffet, Valentino's"
Grew up I SD, those commercials were on all the time
This is genuinely one of the best videos on RUclips. So entertaining, informative, hilarious.
The ice cream gets like that when the machine isn’t calibrated to mix air into the frozen dairy mix. This causes the ice cream to be less satisfying texture wise and in taste. It usually gets a yellow hue to it.
i have to say, these vids just keep gettin better and better
You two NEED your own podcast PLEASE ❤❤🙏🙏
I love how Lucas had to stage his walking out of the buffet. Reality TV Baddies.
you guys just pump out great content and do not get enough recognition. you guys crack me up are the only youtubers i watch :,)
Jacob, the flame this video ignited in my heart will surely last a lifetime! ❤️🔥
An Italian buffet!!😮 I would be in heaven!

I was literally telling my best friend about that buffet. Literally the best buffet.
I love your buffet and food videos. I miss your podcasts.
We used to go to “Ponderosa” when I was a kid and it was our favorite! I don’t think there are any open still, but they seriously had the best chicken wings 😂 I still crave them sometimes lol
OMG I FORGOT ABOUT PONDEROSA!!!
I loved CiCi’s pizza buffet. That “chocolate pizza” they used to have, it was like a melty, chocolate beignet. Bomb! 💣
Mine was Royal Fork. Idk if it was a South Dakota chain or if they existed other places, too. They closed when I was still a kid but I still remember it vividly. It was “nice” as far as buffets go and as a kid I thought it was so magical that we could make our own ice cream cones 😂
I'm from ND and we had a Royal Fork. It's closed now 😭
love you both so much, your videos are always something I look forward to when I’m eating :)

Fentanyl awareness at the table daaayyuuumm.

i look forward to these videos sm
I love the aggressively midwestern content ❤

These boys are DELIGHTED
Lucas I need to see you in a movie, the world needs it in theses boring times.
The fact that y’all came to Nebraska city! It was so nice meeting you!! Lucas mentioned y’all did a video at valentinos and I forgot until now! Lol
Aww this is so awesome!🎉 I was hoping they’d sing the corn cob song from the tv dinners video though. 😂
Love all of your videos ❤
Thank you for your content it makes my day🙂❤️
My daughter lives in Nebraska. We love that State and Cornhusker folks. Go Red! ❤🎉😊
I remember the two biggest Valentinos buffets being the one on 70th in Lincoln and the one on Maple in Omaha. They were HUGE
The best part was getting an ice cream cone to go after eating pasta 🍝 I’m from Columbus NE😍😂🙌🏻
My favorite was out local china buffet. They had all you can eat snow crab legs. Me and my brother would literally eat…10+ bunches of snow crab legs lol. They hated us.

I was born in NE , lived there till I was four I remember the whole family getting together at Valentino’s. ❤
Jacob I’ve just gotta say your hair is looking positively voluminous in this video 😌
Who went to Hometown Buffet as kids? I have fond memories of going there with my dad all the time lol
VALENTINOS IS THE BEST!!! please do testing lincoln ice cream places, bars or popular downtown restaurants next. also runza maybe??
Finally some love for Valentinos that’s my childhood right there
Omg! I miss Valentino’s. I’m from Omaha and they got rid of all of the buffets and only have express Valentinos. I was so sad when I recently visited back home to see they are no longer around. Loved this video! ❤
i love you guys so much your videos always make me feel better 🥲 making me feel proud to be from nebraska in your recent videos 😂
also the pepsi > coke thing here so accurate
Same!
I used to put the lemon in my water too. Tap water needs it! But I’ve heard the lemon wedges are usually the dirtiest at bars/restaurants. They don’t wash the outside of the lemons and or hands
Yessssssss omg makes me so happy when I see a new video from you guys
The Valentinos I used to go to had pizza to eat while waiting in line to pay for the buffet! Top tier.
That orange dressing is sometimes called Catalina - and YUM!
Wait we had vaneltino’s in Kansas too! Not anymore, but I looooved it as a kid because you could get an ICEE as your drink 😂
Legit quality froma pizza buffet tbh. Lincolnite here BTW. Nice to see someone relevant talk about NE lol
You guys are my favorite; I love these videos 😅
You’re right there was a Valentino’s in Sioux Falls South Dakota lol - we frequented
Jacob- your hair is looking fantastically healthy recently 🥰
Omg you guys should go to an MCL cafeteria. It's mainly patronized by people being bussed in from retirement homes but my dad always took me there as a kid. 😅 Would love to see your experience there.
That s’mores pizza looks so good, I never had that before
now I regret not consuming it
I went to 2 Italian buffets; PizzaHut Florid and someplace in Washington. Your Valentino’s looked top-notch. Good price too 😎💟💜
a fentanyl ad 😭😭😂
