Everything looks just a little bit...weird. Slightly off. The BBQ looks like it really does not deserve the name. Now I know how you must feel about our attempts to make sausages...
There are so many variations to food across the states that I feel like it's all "authentic". The Philly was a stretch, but only because I have never seen sliced American cheese on a Philly before. There are two frames of thought, and they exist right across the street from one another in Philadelphia. Pat's or Geno's cheesesteaks. They both prepare the ribeye meat differently and one prefers the Cheese Whiz and the other Provolone. Personally, I feel like Cheese Whiz is the best. (I can state with personal experience that there are better cheesesteaks than Pat's or Geno's in that region)
American here I have never seen a hot dog split like that but there are a lot of regional variations. Both pork and beef hotdogs are common and beef is generally considered better. Now they have chicken and turkey also. Generally instead of pickels you would get relish but again there is a lot of variations
In the States, pickled cucumbers are simply called pickles. When you want any other pickled item, you ask for pickled jalapeños (for instance). The spare ribs were back ribs. We’re the ribs smoked?
Yeah, Philly cheese steak sandwiches are really good. The South of the US has the best barbecue, pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw, I've only had Memphis, Kansas City and St. Louis myself. Come here to Wisconsin for cheesecake, and really for anything involving cheese. Anyone here serving something like what you had there would be banished from the state from that point forward. Also, our coleslaw is tangy here, I'm not sure what happened there. Texas will treat you well. Probably don't go there in the summer though. There are a few places in Texas, along with Amish settlements everywhere, that speak a dialect of Swabian German from 200 years ago as best as I can figure out, part of the reason I decided to start learning Standard German at least, for when our dry kilns buy lumber from Amish sawmills. It helps a little. Iffy weather with traveling in Wisconsin in the winter, it's more like Polish/Belarus winter vs. German winter. Some snow days and 0 to -30 Celsius temperatures for a winter range.
I have been living in the US since 1966 and never have had a sliced hot dog!!!! You guys need to go to Texas for the BEST BBQ!!!!! Love what YOU do but why don't YOU go to Philly and have the real thing what YOU had wasn't even close!!!!! THANKS for all YOU do!!!!!!!
The second set of spareribs had way too much sauce, but that does not necessarily mean it was overcooked. It looked hard to cut. The Philly Cheesesteak sandwich looked pretty darn good to me!
Thanks for sharing! Max is so adorable!!, In the US, we never slice the hot dogs and don’t eat them with pickles. The beef ribs looked very overdone. From experience, German food in the US is not as good as in Germany. Hope you get to come to the US and try all of the varieties we have to offer as well.
What I noticed is that when dining at a “foreign” restaurant in your home country I’ve often been disappointed, i.e. a German restaurant in Canada - rarely as good as what I ate while posted to W. Germany (Black Forest) early ‘80s.
My St Louis family has German heritage so our Dogs always had saurkraut, grilled onion and mustard. At bbq's the neighbors used pickle relish, mustard and ketchup. Splitting the Dogs is a relatively new thing from California. They try to be 'trendy'. I don't see it done that way much. Chicago dogs always have dill pickle (among lots of other things) but I've not seen any other styles use dills. Oh the baby! He is so adorable and getting so big and robust! Thanks for sharing him with us, because you know I love watching babies eat!! Their reactions are so honest ❤
The burger was okay, but that cheesecake was a joke. Ours are like yours. Hot dogs haven’t been split in years - I don’t think our Five Guys do that here. Philly steaks are thinly sliced, like deli meat and have a cheese sauce like nachos. Those were very weird - reminded me of fajitas. I agree - the pork should have more sauce and be crustier. Those bread crumbs were rather thick. Barbecue should be falling off the bone. None of the foods look like great American food.
No, hot dogs are not sold split like that in America. I tend to avoid California though. I prefer mustard and onions on mine. If it's German mustard, all the better. Those beef ribs were poorly cooked, don't go back there. They either don't know what the are doing or used ribs that were sitting around from previous the day. Either way, isn't right.
Also to add to my previous comment, the Philly cheesesteak typically has only onions and bell peppers in it with thinly sliced rib-eye meat with cheese whiz drizzled on it
The German version of American food looks amazing! Very gourmet. I’ve rarely seen a split hot dog. I think it’s a regional specialty. Shame about the beef rib being dry. It should be quite fatty and tender. Fun video! 😊
No Marta, hotdogs are not split, best hotdogs would be a Chicago dog or New York hotdogs. As for Cheesesteak, never ketchup, you will see an incredible difference if you bought one in Philly. As for nbq, that isn't American bbq or even close. There are 5 bbq types or regions (some add a sixth called Santa Maria or steaks cooked over fire) the five types are Memphis dry rub, St. Louis ribs. Kansas city wet. Texas red, and Carolina pit cook. These 5 bbq are all different and regional fights are normal. For example, most people roll their eyes when a New Yorker says they make texas or other region bbq. It may be good but nor as good as the actual region. It would be the same as saying we aye german food in Oklahoma. It just isn't the same. The same spices. The same flavor. Even if cooked by true Germans. Come to the US, not just Disney, but truly Philly, new York city, Memphis, New Braunfels tx, st Louis, kC, each one is a complete different experience..much like Munich is different yo Frankfurt or the north.
Hotdogs are sometimes split. Places that cook them on a flattop griddle often split them. I don't care for them split but it is a thing in America, though less common. Five Guys in America splits their hotdogs.
@@dandaman7070 you are talking a diner dog. You would never see one split from a hot dog Carr in New York or at Super Dawg in Chicago or at the Varsity in Atlanta. The only place I have been that split them was in Jersey can't remember the name served as a sandwich with cottage fries stuffed in a roll, not hot dog bun. Was really good, but not a hot dog.
Does anybody know about split hotdogs in the US? I've never seen it here. I suppose it might be a good way to serve hotdogs since you increase the surface area and then you could fit more sauces in the space. But I also think it might dry them out a bit. Either way it looked pretty tasty.
that first burger looked amazing. not like some mcd crap that you could slide under the door. they screwed up the beef ribs! those were not cooked long enough. you have to go low and slow with those. when i smoke them it takes all day! and that's after marinating them for a day in a bucket. the brisket does look a little dry too. if you go on a food tour of usa, for sure go to texas! i was stationed there in usaf, and they absolutely have the BEST bbq anywhere - they invented it. now my friends in georgia and other parts of the south will quarrel with that, but absolutely nothing beats texas bbq. up here in the pacific northwest we're salmon people. nothing like fresh alaska salmon! there are daily flights into seattle and portland when it's in season. if you can find it go for copper river salmon from alaska. we also have local salmon caught in the columbia river, which is a migration route. the first nations people used to slowly smoke salmon over cedar. that's really good. it's amazing what you can do with a smoker. i like gas/propane with soaked wood chips, cuz it's easier to maintain consistent temperature.
I live here in America and never seen a hot dog sliced down the middle. My son just told me that 5 Guy's do cut the hot dogs that way. I never go to 5 Guy's as they are way to expensive. Hope you can get to this side of the pond some day to try the food. You should show us how to make German popcorn sometime. Everything here is salt and butter pretty much. Tschuss !
In Chicago it’s against our religion to put ketchup on our hot dogs. And it’s very very rare to see hotdogs split but i do like it that way. In Chicago at least the hot dogs are always 100% beef. But a lot of America eats a pork/beef mixture which i hate. Anything pork is usually bratwurst or polish sausage (kielbasa). In Chicago the polish is my favorite (smothered in carmelized onions, mustard and a hot pepper ) Philly steak is everywhere in America…that one didn’t look like an authentic one but Philadelphia is the only pace making it great. BBQ is something need to be made with love (in the south its more common and good) because its very time and labor intensive. 6-18 hrs of cooking. That bbq place had terrible looking meat. Breadcrumbs on Mac and cheese is a fancy bbq place topping. Varies by region, and culture. ALLL in all i bet the American food was better or no worse the “authentic German” in America.
BBQ varies from from the different regions in the US. I don't like Memphis BBQ but I love Texas and Kansas City BBQs. My favorite is Smoked Brisket. I usually smoke 2 or 3 briskets and also pork butts and pork ribs every year. I like to use hickory, oak and mesquite woods. I use pecan and cherry for pork also.
Just discovered your vlog Marta, I love it! Having lived in various parts of the U.S. and Canada, I've seen and have eaten many variations of these dishes. The hamburgers you showed, especially the first one, looked amazing, pretty much spot on with the American/Canadian style. Personally, my husband and I really like Five Guys. I also found their split hotdog odd, but happily noticing that it didn't effect the taste at all. Normally, hotdogs, bratwurst, sausages are rarely split in the U.S. or Canada. I did ask once why they split it? The guy preparing told me it was to make sure that you get a good portion of the hotdog with each bite . Not sure if that's his belief or Five Guys policy? But it does make sense. Mac and cheese can be prepared with either the bread crumbs or not. Cheddar is always the main cheese used. For me, I like to add gruyere on top for the browning, never bread crumbs. I then add crispy onion and bacon bits to the top before serving (Similar to how you prepare your spaetzle). YUM! 😋 If you are considering a U.S. food tour, I have a few suggestions, if I may? Like many countries, there are regions of the U.S. that are spicier than others(the Southwest and Texas for example), decide how spicy/hot you like your food to be? The "hot and spicy" element can always be adjusted everywhere, just keep in mind that most food dishes in the U.S. will have a lot more spice in it, more than in Germany. Also, consider researching the food trucks in the cities you go to.( Just Google "food trucks" and the city) Many of the most delicious food items I have ever eaten came from the specialty cooks in their food truck. I do not doubt that many of your U.S. Subscribers will have suggestions for their favourite food truck(s). Hope this helps. Glad to have found your channel!
Ummm... Except for the burger, not very Ami. Kind of Ami that was German infused. Also, who gets a hot dog at Five Guys? I didn't even know they had them. I mean it looked pretty tasty, but classic hot dog eaters... well, you'll see their comments. _(A Chicago dog _*_is_*_ about as close to a Frankfurter, as you can get, without being an actual Frankfurter sausage.)_ As far as the Ribs, it looks like you got two different styles of cooking them. The pork looked like they were pan baked. _(They'll always be falling off the bone tender... if cooked sufficiently. It's also a very easy way to make at home too.)_ The Beef looked to be actual BBQ, from a smoker. They tend to be a bit drier, and Beef will be tougher than Pork, especially German Beef. But, both should be eaten with your fingers. Smoked ribs are different than baked. The sauce will be _on the side._ Baked are baked in the sauce. _ Also an option is; to smoke to almost completely done, then put in a pan, with the sauce, cover with foil, and bake until _falling off the bone tender._ All that will take between 6 & 8 hours. As far as the brisket, I've seen worse here in the US. _(They honestly didn't look that good. And I'd guess that they were smoked too hot, for too short of time then, and thus got too little smoke. Thus, too little crust and smoke ring.)_ Brisket is an art. *If* Matthäus wants to try his hand at it, be patient with him. His first attempts will be... ahhh... dry, and similar to cardboard. Also, while you *_can_* do brisket off of a regular grill _(if large enough, far larger than your normal German grill),_ that also has a smoker option, it's a lot more difficult than in an actual _"hot smoker."_ Plus, the cook time for a full brisket, done either way, is between 18 & 24 hours. It's done _low and slow._ Cold smoking _(lachs, bauernschinken)_ is done at not more than 38C. Brisket is done at 107C. And that 107C must be held the whole 18 to 24 hours. Cannot go below, nor above. _(That's why pro & hobby smokers here in the US use special smokers to do brisket. Doing a purist wood smoker; needs a special setup, and 24 hours of little to no sleep. Therefore, most use gas or electric, with a smoker/wood pan. That way the temperature stays very constant, and they only need to worry about the amount of smoke.)_ Your first mac & cheese looked very basic. Something that you can get out of a box here in the US. You're second looked better. But yes, It should contain 3 to 5 different types of cheeses, with mild & sharp/extra sharp cheddar being mandatory for 2 of the 3 to 5 cheeses. And yes, it needs to be baked, after it is cooked. _(But, like the BBQ baked ribs, it's very easy to do at home. Noodles, milk, butter, grated cheeses, and a _*_lot_*_ of whisking.)_ Baked beans is a ditto to the mac & cheese. US baked beans should be very, *very* different to British baked beans, or Boston baked beans. And yes, there should be a honey or molasses under-sweetness to them. _(I like using a forest or Kiawe honey. It adds some nice tartness to the sweet.)_ But, that should be balanced out with some heat... like Carolina reaper or smoked Jalapeno heat. And, should consist of 2 to 3 differing types of beans. Plus, always some sort of meat added in. Best is what is called brisket _burnt-ends._ They'll give the baked beans a really nice & smoky flavor. And here too, just cooking isn't enough. First cooked, then baked, and best baked in the smoker. And since you start out with dry beans, the cook time here is 48 hours _(plus)._
Cheesesteak sandwich ..come to Philadelphia Pa Usa for the original,but ask the locals on where to go,while in Philly(philadelphia) try porkroll & scrapple( a old world name for scrapple is panhaus).beef ribs & other ribs are considered finger food here should be tender but not fall off the bone.IF you do try smoking brisket go low & slow no more that 225°-250° & atleast 8 hours on smoker
It's unusual, but not unheard of, for a real BBQ joint (one that really smoked their own meat) to cover the meat they serve in sauce. Anyone who smokes a lot of meat (like me) and is proud of the end product would never drown the meat in sauce. We serve it as-is and then the one consuming the meat can choose whatever sauce they wish. Or in the case of my father, no sauce at all. It's all acceptable though and it's down to preference. The United States is a big country, and every state/region is VERY different. The brisket looks legit though and I love mine with pickles. If you can find Famous Daves Sweet and Spicy Pickles in Germany I recommend you try them with the next home smoke. There are also Famous Dave's Devil's Spit XXX Pickles for something a bit spicier. My wife's maiden name is Kinder, so I assume her ancestors were German at some point. She loves Kettle Corn (sweet and salt popcorn). I have ancestors from Bavaria, but I don't really care for it as much as she does.
Hello, Ive been a subscriber to your channel for a number of years now. Love it. i like to see what my brothers and sisters are up to in Germany. And i just watched this most recent video. I had to make some comments. Iam American born and bread. First, i can tell you 99.9% of Americans do not eat hot dogs split into half sections like that. That must be a Five Guys exception to some locations just to be different because we Americans know exactly what Germans know about Hot Dogs and Sausage and that you do not ever cut open hot dogs or sausage because you lose the flavors and natural casing tastes and it dries out the hot dogs. In all the hot dog restaurants, food stands, street dogs, ball parks they would never served hot dogs this way. Five Guys have some good food but they are not known for hot dogs either. Mostly Burgers. Here's another thing, it makes me so mad when i see another fellow American eating a hot dog that has Ketchup on it. UUHHHGGG!! I just want to slap them lol. With hot dogs its all about the mustard. I like Deitz ball park mustard, red uncooked onions and sometimes cooked. And that's something else we Americans love with hot dogs. The ketchup thing unfortunately was picked up sometime in past history. Nothing more than a bad habit. Ketchup belongs on burgers not hot dogs. Most places that are hot dog serious will not serve you ketchup on the hot dog but have it available to you as you may serve yourself with it in some other part of the restaurant where you cant be seen putting it on lol. The brand of hot dog i always go to is "Dearborn" brand all beef. Named after a small city here in Michigan. Many American hot dog brands are local recipes and they are different in each city no matter where you go in America and they have been handed down to Americans from Germans, Polish and Italian people who have settled here many years ago. Up in my state of Michigan its all about the Coney island and Chilli dogs. One is savory and one is on the sweet side. but both share no Ingredience to each other. I like mine with just onions on it. Both are very good with beef hot dogs. Onto the BBQ!!! the best BBQ comes from four states in my opinion and not necessarily in this order because there all good to experience. Every state probably serves BBQ in just about anyway you want it. So if you come to America these are the best places to savor the BBQ. 1.Tennessee 2. Texas (Known for Brisket and dry rub) 3. St Louis Missouri 4. North Carolina I don't know what kind of Philly Cheese steak you had there but it did not look anything like the way we serve it here. The Best Philly cheese Steaks sandwiches come from Philadelphia Pennsylvania And some times New Jersey. The Cheese and must be melted in with the meat while its cooking along with the onions. The bread is very important as well. Burger's.. The quintessential American food. sometimes its 80/20 ground chuck, Ground Chuck and Ribeye and sometimes ground chuck and Brisket. There are other combinations of meat mixtures as well. Generally ground chuck is the main choice.You could even go 70/30 lean to fat ratio if you want more flavor. The typical dressings are lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, some type of mayo or thousand island dressing, Ketchup and mustard. salt and pepper while cooking the meat and American cheese of course. Never Cucumbers. I've never seen that on a hamburger or it being offered that way. Sometimes its good with a creamy cole slaw as a substitute for lettuce. There are three ways Americans cook cheeseburgers. Made as a smash burger technique on a flat cast iron skillet, over the open flame of the BBQ which are generally made thicker to absorb the smokey flavor or have them steamed in water like parboil hot dogs. Cheesecake... The best Cheesecake I've ever eaten in America is from "The Cheesecake Factory". They are in various states around America. And perhaps they may be in Germany too for all i know. Im a Pineapple upside down cake kind of guy so Im partial to that. But Cheesecake is great too and i don't think I've had a better one than from The Cheesecake factory. Well, that's all i can say for us Americans. Some of our things may be kinda strange to you guys but that's the way we roll. We enjoy German food too. We have plenty Germans living here in Michigan, Frankenmuth comes to mind and im always learning how to cook German food from your channel. Thank you so much. : )
Everything seemed like a fancy restaurant rendition of “BBQ”. I’ve never seen a hot dog split unless is was at home and we ran out of hot dog buns. Then we might split the hotdog and eat it with bread. When you come to the U.S. try a Chicago dog, Texas BBQ, and Baja Fish tacos in Southern California. You won’t be disappointed😊 Also, for your husband learning to smoke brisket, start out with an electric smoker like Bradley. They are very easy for people who are just learning. Once he gets the texture down then have him move on to a gas smoker. Those are pretty easy as well. You should be able to place a fully cooked slice of brisket on your finger and it should hang over your finger like a wet noodle.
Since Germany doesn't have Mesquite trees, you could do a brisket with charcoal and if you can find some mesquite chips you could add them in batches to your bbq grill. Trick is have your charcoal placed on the opposite side away from the brisket. You might have to reload the charcoal 3 or 4 times to get to the 8 hour mark. Note* Indirect heat and the longer the better. Up to 16 hours. NOTHING compares to it. Season it with nothing else but smoke and heat.
I have to agree with most of these comments. Hot dogs shouldn't be split; you lose flavor and juices. Serve with chopped sweet cucumber (relish), onion, ketchup and mustard, maybe chopped or grilled onion. Hot dogs here are beef, pork, or various combinations. I've seen mac and cheese baked with a crust, but not often. There should definitely be multiple cheeses. Your cheesecake did not look like any type of cheesecake I've ever seen. Barbecue is very regional here in the states with each region thinking theirs is the 'original ' and best of course. That all depends on what you like. The pulled pork should have been crusted, but the brisket looked perfect. The burger looked just right. However it looks as though you're eating mostly at what are trying to be top-end restaurants, each trying to 'make it their own ', and not succeeding. All of this is just my opinion of course. I think too much of our American food has become standardized, mostly thanks to national supply chains going for the cheapest, full- of- preservative, lowest cost ways of doing things. For example, a good beef hot dog used to be made by Hebrew National, based in Indianapolis, Indiana. But they were never a huge brand, instead going for quality. I don't even know if they're still in business. Anyway, have fun when you do get here. Take care!
Okay, so American popcorn can be eaten sweet or salty. The most traditional version (think what you would get in a big bucket at a movie theater) is with butter and salt. The most common sweet popcorn is called caramel corn, which has a crunchy caramel outer crust on the fluffy popcorn. Beyond this, there are many ways people like to eat popcorn. Cheese (in particular cheddar) is a popular savory flavor, which is achieved using dehydrated cheese powder. I personally really like using a spice mix that combines chili powder, powdered lime juice, powdered cheese, salt, and sugar. Sweet popcorn can come in dozens of different flavors, though I find these tend to be rather artificial.
That must be a Five Guys things, because we don't cut our hot dogs like that. Contents of a hot dog vary from brand to brand, area to area and personal choices. We have chicken, turkey, pork and beef, and a combination of meats. I personally normally buy a combination of pork and chicken or pork, chicken and beef. Most people who buy beef are those with dietary or religious restrictions. How a hot dog is served will also vary from area to area. Like in some areas, sauerkraut is a normal topping. Some areas, its a beef no bean chili, others is just mustard. Where I live, the most popular is mustard, chili, cole slaw and raw onions, or mustard chili and cheese. But if I'm making them at home, on the stove, just keep it simple with ketchup and mustard, sometimes relish and cole slaw, on the grill sometimes bbq sauce.
Being an American, I can tell you the only thing that you had that was authentic was the mac and cheese and the burger. Also the barbecue and buffalo wings. The hot dogs are usually split at Five Guys to make it more like a sandwich but typically most people serve them whole and we have all kinds of variations. The classic has ketchup, mustard, and dill pickle relish or as you would call chopped up pickled cucumber. Another American dish I would recommend this chicken and waffles, basically it's a fried piece of chicken whether it's a fried chicken or chicken tenders or chicken nuggets and serve it over a waffle and cover with maple syrup
Creamy coleslaw is so much better than vinegar slaw. Also, I think a traditional Philly cheese steak has green/red bell peppers and onions. No sauce but it’s delicious with horseradish sauce.
I serve vinegar and oil slaw with my barbecue along with a mayonnaise and mustard based potato salad. Salt the cabbage to leach out excess moisture before adding the remaining ingredients. I use white wine vinegar, oil, sugar, caraway and black pepper. Enjoy …
In the USA Five Guys and In & Out Burger are considered the two top burger franchises. I've given 5 Guys three visits and did not like them at all. I have yet to try In & Out burger. In a twist recently a third burger chain got the top spot; Culvers. They serve frozen custard as well. And they are from my state. But their burger isn't the best I've had either. The best I had was from a small hut near my high school many years ago. Just a young guy trying to make a try at the business.
Ahhh Max has surely grown 🥹😀 I think it’s safe to say that he’s now also a foodie like mom and dad 😉. It was a bit of a surprise to see American food featured in your channel, I am not complaining at all 😊😊 I hope you get to do your American foodtour trip next year 😋
I hope you get to travel to the USA 🇺🇸 and have some authentic bbq. Have never been to Texas but I do hear they have amazing bbq! 😋. Thank you for taking us along ❤️😋🥳
Very familiar American is pretty close to Canadian. That said you drive 50 miles to cross the boarder and their McDonald's and KFC so different! If And their KFC mashed instead of fries.But even chicken recipe different. Few things I have never seen here is Gritts and sweet potato pie. Ribs are popular here to but not a fan ! If your in Buffalo I would recommend crossing to see the Falls in Ontario. I have been to Buffalo,NewYork State is Beautifull. Take Care.
Thanks Tim. Yes, that’s always funny, that the food tastes so different. But we’ll, they using different ingredients, so that’s tricky. I went few times to Rochester, because the company that I worked for here in Germany had their headquarters there. It was nice experience getting to know American colleagues and so nice because they always took me to eat something unexpected. I even had a garbage plate 😉
That was not American cheesecake - American cheesecake is firm not watery and soggy. I've never been to a place in the US slice a hotdog in half -- if you're going to 5 Guys you have to get the fries! The first ribs looked like lamb ribs - not pork ribs. The second version of macaroni and cheese looked more American style. Beef ribs are really not a big thing in the US - I've only seen them in cities that were not known for BBQ. When you visit you'll have to come to Kansas City, Missouri for the best BBQ.
I believe the American food you get in Germany is better than the American or German food you get in America, unless you pay very high prices for it. I have heard many visitors to America say how bad the food is here, and I agree. We mostly eat at home, and finding quality ingredients at a reasonable price can be difficult.
Philly cheese steak is sliced and chopped ribeye or sirloin beef tips, white onion, bell pepper, spices of chili powder,salt, black pepper and hint of cayenne pepper, topped onto white American cheese in a bun. The authentic is topped with a little bit of ketchup. The meat and veggies and spices are cooked and chopped on a flat top grill, bun split open but not completely and is placed on the griddle white side down while you cook the meat and veggies. You then take the bun off, layer several slices of white American cheese and load the sandwich.
I just wanted to give a shout out to your husband for eating his cheeseburger with his HANDS like a real American instead of a knife and fork like a German.
@@cooking-the-world I also meant to tell you that I visited Frankfurt on my way back to Berlin from Switzerland. I stayed right across the street from the Hauptbahnhof around the corner from the red light district. Wow! That was an experience. The next day I went for a long walk to Grüneburgpark and back through Westend to Innenstadt then Altstadt. After that I walked down the Main river and over the many bridges to enjoy the sunset. Gorgeous city 😘
The trick for authentic Barbecue is low heat 240f for 8 hours at minimum or 350f if wrapped in foil and baked for 3-4 hours. Pork of beef should slip off the bone cooked correctly. personally I like the foil methods. I coat the ribs with about 1/4 cup of bbq sauce before I put it inside the foil. Brisket needs to always be wood smoked for 12-14 hours.
I want to take a little credit for this video, as I remember asking you to do this a couple of years back :) Hopefully you were able to enjoy some of this less than heroic cuisine!
Yes James, that was you!:) thanks for the great idea, it was interesting subject and fun to film. Just going out and filming with Max is still a bit crazy 😅 sometimes he likes doing something in the high chair, but sometimes he is all over the place 😉
@@cooking-the-world Max looks adorable and is growing up very quickly! I am glad your family could enjoy some American style meals. Your fans are looking forward to you visiting us here in the USA, and we all will happily show you around to see some sights and restaurants.
So, how authentic this food looks for you?
You should try Boudin. That’s cajun from Louisiana. Pronounced “Boo-Dan”. There’s probably a YT video on it and it’s delicious
never eaten a sliced hot dog in my life. 😅
Everything looks just a little bit...weird. Slightly off. The BBQ looks like it really does not deserve the name. Now I know how you must feel about our attempts to make sausages...
There are so many variations to food across the states that I feel like it's all "authentic". The Philly was a stretch, but only because I have never seen sliced American cheese on a Philly before. There are two frames of thought, and they exist right across the street from one another in Philadelphia. Pat's or Geno's cheesesteaks. They both prepare the ribeye meat differently and one prefers the Cheese Whiz and the other Provolone. Personally, I feel like Cheese Whiz is the best. (I can state with personal experience that there are better cheesesteaks than Pat's or Geno's in that region)
American here I have never seen a hot dog split like that but there are a lot of regional variations. Both pork and beef hotdogs are common and beef is generally considered better. Now they have chicken and turkey also. Generally instead of pickels you would get relish but again there is a lot of variations
In the States, pickled cucumbers are simply called pickles. When you want any other pickled item, you ask for pickled jalapeños (for instance).
The spare ribs were back ribs. We’re the ribs smoked?
Yep, they were smoked
Yeah, Philly cheese steak sandwiches are really good. The South of the US has the best barbecue, pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw, I've only had Memphis, Kansas City and St. Louis myself.
Come here to Wisconsin for cheesecake, and really for anything involving cheese. Anyone here serving something like what you had there would be banished from the state from that point forward. Also, our coleslaw is tangy here, I'm not sure what happened there.
Texas will treat you well. Probably don't go there in the summer though. There are a few places in Texas, along with Amish settlements everywhere, that speak a dialect of Swabian German from 200 years ago as best as I can figure out, part of the reason I decided to start learning Standard German at least, for when our dry kilns buy lumber from Amish sawmills. It helps a little.
Iffy weather with traveling in Wisconsin in the winter, it's more like Polish/Belarus winter vs. German winter. Some snow days and 0 to -30 Celsius temperatures for a winter range.
I have been living in the US since 1966 and never have had a sliced hot dog!!!! You guys need to go to Texas for the BEST BBQ!!!!! Love what YOU do but why don't YOU go to Philly and have the real thing what YOU had wasn't even close!!!!! THANKS for all YOU do!!!!!!!
I thought it was a fun video to make. For the moment traveling abroad is not in our budget. But when it will be, I will try the real deal :)
The second set of spareribs had way too much sauce, but that does not necessarily mean it was overcooked. It looked hard to cut. The Philly Cheesesteak sandwich looked pretty darn good to me!
US popcorn is always salted, often very salty, never sugar, which is odd considering how much Americans like sweets.
Wonderful post! Thank you. If you enjoy seafood, and bar. -b-que, come visit us in Bar Harbor Maine!
Thanks Robert! That sounds nice.
Thanks for sharing! Max is so adorable!!, In the US, we never slice the hot dogs and don’t eat them with pickles. The beef ribs looked very overdone. From experience, German food in the US is not as good as in Germany. Hope you get to come to the US and try all of the varieties we have to offer as well.
Visit Texas! The BBQ alone is worth the trip, but the deep German heritage here is fascinating.
It's first on my list.There is even direct flight from Frankfurt. Have got many tour food tour attendees from there.
Fredericksburg Texas is a must
Second best bbq in the states
I'm not German or American, but give me German "hot dogs" anyday 😊❤
What I noticed is that when dining at a “foreign” restaurant in your home country I’ve often been disappointed, i.e. a German restaurant in Canada - rarely as good as what I ate while posted to W. Germany (Black Forest) early ‘80s.
My St Louis family has German heritage so our Dogs always had saurkraut, grilled onion and mustard. At bbq's the neighbors used pickle relish, mustard and ketchup. Splitting the Dogs is a relatively new thing from California. They try to be 'trendy'. I don't see it done that way much. Chicago dogs always have dill pickle (among lots of other things) but I've not seen any other styles use dills.
Oh the baby! He is so adorable and getting so big and robust! Thanks for sharing him with us, because you know I love watching babies eat!! Their reactions are so honest ❤
The burger was okay, but that cheesecake was a joke. Ours are like yours. Hot dogs haven’t been split in years - I don’t think our Five Guys do that here. Philly steaks are thinly sliced, like deli meat and have a cheese sauce like nachos. Those were very weird - reminded me of fajitas. I agree - the pork should have more sauce and be crustier. Those bread crumbs were rather thick. Barbecue should be falling off the bone. None of the foods look like great American food.
No, hot dogs are not sold split like that in America. I tend to avoid California though. I prefer mustard and onions on mine. If it's German mustard, all the better. Those beef ribs were poorly cooked, don't go back there. They either don't know what the are doing or used ribs that were sitting around from previous the day. Either way, isn't right.
Also to add to my previous comment, the Philly cheesesteak typically has only onions and bell peppers in it with thinly sliced rib-eye meat with cheese whiz drizzled on it
The German version of American food looks amazing! Very gourmet. I’ve rarely seen a split hot dog. I think it’s a regional specialty. Shame about the beef rib being dry. It should be quite fatty and tender. Fun video! 😊
Thanks ☺️
that cheesecake does not look like cheesecake. 😅
No Marta, hotdogs are not split, best hotdogs would be a Chicago dog or New York hotdogs. As for Cheesesteak, never ketchup, you will see an incredible difference if you bought one in Philly. As for nbq, that isn't American bbq or even close. There are 5 bbq types or regions (some add a sixth called Santa Maria or steaks cooked over fire) the five types are Memphis dry rub, St. Louis ribs. Kansas city wet. Texas red, and Carolina pit cook. These 5 bbq are all different and regional fights are normal. For example, most people roll their eyes when a New Yorker says they make texas or other region bbq. It may be good but nor as good as the actual region. It would be the same as saying we aye german food in Oklahoma. It just isn't the same. The same spices. The same flavor. Even if cooked by true Germans. Come to the US, not just Disney, but truly Philly, new York city, Memphis, New Braunfels tx, st Louis, kC, each one is a complete different experience..much like Munich is different yo Frankfurt or the north.
That explains a lot Paul :) thanks.
Hotdogs are sometimes split. Places that cook them on a flattop griddle often split them. I don't care for them split but it is a thing in America, though less common. Five Guys in America splits their hotdogs.
@@dandaman7070 you are talking a diner dog. You would never see one split from a hot dog Carr in New York or at Super Dawg in Chicago or at the Varsity in Atlanta. The only place I have been that split them was in Jersey can't remember the name served as a sandwich with cottage fries stuffed in a roll, not hot dog bun. Was really good, but not a hot dog.
Does anybody know about split hotdogs in the US? I've never seen it here. I suppose it might be a good way to serve hotdogs since you increase the surface area and then you could fit more sauces in the space. But I also think it might dry them out a bit. Either way it looked pretty tasty.
We don't split them here in NW PA. Our hot dogs are mainly in natural casing and splitting them would take away the pop.
(:
I always sautéed mine in butter, cutting a few diagonal shallow slits in them. Learned it years ago in a Miami hotel and it is so good.
Wouldn't the best burger be in Hamburg and the best dog in Frankfurt?
Hahahaha! I don’t know about Hamburg, but Frankfurt Sausage doesn’t belong in a Hot Dog. At least not in Frankfurt
that first burger looked amazing. not like some mcd crap that you could slide under the door. they screwed up the beef ribs! those were not cooked long enough. you have to go low and slow with those. when i smoke them it takes all day! and that's after marinating them for a day in a bucket. the brisket does look a little dry too. if you go on a food tour of usa, for sure go to texas! i was stationed there in usaf, and they absolutely have the BEST bbq anywhere - they invented it. now my friends in georgia and other parts of the south will quarrel with that, but absolutely nothing beats texas bbq.
up here in the pacific northwest we're salmon people. nothing like fresh alaska salmon! there are daily flights into seattle and portland when it's in season. if you can find it go for copper river salmon from alaska. we also have local salmon caught in the columbia river, which is a migration route. the first nations people used to slowly smoke salmon over cedar. that's really good. it's amazing what you can do with a smoker. i like gas/propane with soaked wood chips, cuz it's easier to maintain consistent temperature.
Oh thanks Skip! We also tried and loved smoked salmon. And yes, we will not forgive them for those beef ribs 😜
I live here in America and never seen a hot dog sliced down the middle. My son just told me that 5 Guy's do cut the hot dogs that way. I never go to 5 Guy's as they are way to expensive. Hope you can get to this side of the pond some day to try the food.
You should show us how to make German popcorn sometime. Everything here is salt and butter pretty much. Tschuss !
Thanks Scott that’s great to know. And Yes, I had to go to five guys for Hot Dog because Hot Dogs are really hard to find in Frankfurt.
In Chicago it’s against our religion to put ketchup on our hot dogs. And it’s very very rare to see hotdogs split but i do like it that way. In Chicago at least the hot dogs are always 100% beef. But a lot of America eats a pork/beef mixture which i hate. Anything pork is usually bratwurst or polish sausage (kielbasa). In Chicago the polish is my favorite (smothered in carmelized onions, mustard and a hot pepper
)
Philly steak is everywhere in America…that one didn’t look like an authentic one but Philadelphia is the only pace making it great.
BBQ is something need to be made with love (in the south its more common and good) because its very time and labor intensive. 6-18 hrs of cooking. That bbq place had terrible looking meat. Breadcrumbs on Mac and cheese is a fancy bbq place topping. Varies by region, and culture.
ALLL in all i bet the American food was better or no worse the “authentic German” in America.
BBQ varies from from the different regions in the US. I don't like Memphis BBQ but I love Texas and Kansas City BBQs. My favorite is Smoked Brisket. I usually smoke 2 or 3 briskets and also pork butts and pork ribs every year. I like to use hickory, oak and mesquite woods. I use pecan and cherry for pork also.
Your hamburger looks dry, and No.2 Mack & Cheesed looks authentic that Philly cheesesteak did not look authentic
Just discovered your vlog Marta, I love it! Having lived in various parts of the U.S. and Canada, I've seen and have eaten many variations of these dishes. The hamburgers you showed, especially the first one, looked amazing, pretty much spot on with the American/Canadian style.
Personally, my husband and I really like Five Guys. I also found their split hotdog odd, but happily noticing that it didn't effect the taste at all. Normally, hotdogs, bratwurst, sausages are rarely split in the U.S. or Canada. I did ask once why they split it? The guy preparing told me it was to make sure that you get a good portion of the hotdog with each bite . Not sure if that's his belief or Five Guys policy? But it does make sense.
Mac and cheese can be prepared with either the bread crumbs or not. Cheddar is always the main cheese used. For me, I like to add gruyere on top for the browning, never bread crumbs. I then add crispy onion and bacon bits to the top before serving (Similar to how you prepare your spaetzle). YUM! 😋
If you are considering a U.S. food tour, I have a few suggestions, if I may?
Like many countries, there are regions of the U.S. that are spicier than others(the Southwest and Texas for example), decide how spicy/hot you like your food to be? The "hot and spicy" element can always be adjusted everywhere, just keep in mind that most food dishes in the U.S. will have a lot more spice in it, more than in Germany.
Also, consider researching the food trucks in the cities you go to.( Just Google "food trucks" and the city) Many of the most delicious food items I have ever eaten came from the specialty cooks in their food truck. I do not doubt that many of your U.S. Subscribers will have suggestions for their favourite food truck(s).
Hope this helps. Glad to have found your channel!
Ummm... Except for the burger, not very Ami. Kind of Ami that was German infused. Also, who gets a hot dog at Five Guys? I didn't even know they had them. I mean it looked pretty tasty, but classic hot dog eaters... well, you'll see their comments. _(A Chicago dog _*_is_*_ about as close to a Frankfurter, as you can get, without being an actual Frankfurter sausage.)_
As far as the Ribs, it looks like you got two different styles of cooking them. The pork looked like they were pan baked. _(They'll always be falling off the bone tender... if cooked sufficiently. It's also a very easy way to make at home too.)_ The Beef looked to be actual BBQ, from a smoker. They tend to be a bit drier, and Beef will be tougher than Pork, especially German Beef. But, both should be eaten with your fingers. Smoked ribs are different than baked. The sauce will be _on the side._ Baked are baked in the sauce. _ Also an option is; to smoke to almost completely done, then put in a pan, with the sauce, cover with foil, and bake until _falling off the bone tender._ All that will take between 6 & 8 hours.
As far as the brisket, I've seen worse here in the US. _(They honestly didn't look that good. And I'd guess that they were smoked too hot, for too short of time then, and thus got too little smoke. Thus, too little crust and smoke ring.)_ Brisket is an art. *If* Matthäus wants to try his hand at it, be patient with him. His first attempts will be... ahhh... dry, and similar to cardboard. Also, while you *_can_* do brisket off of a regular grill _(if large enough, far larger than your normal German grill),_ that also has a smoker option, it's a lot more difficult than in an actual _"hot smoker."_ Plus, the cook time for a full brisket, done either way, is between 18 & 24 hours. It's done _low and slow._ Cold smoking _(lachs, bauernschinken)_ is done at not more than 38C. Brisket is done at 107C. And that 107C must be held the whole 18 to 24 hours. Cannot go below, nor above. _(That's why pro & hobby smokers here in the US use special smokers to do brisket. Doing a purist wood smoker; needs a special setup, and 24 hours of little to no sleep. Therefore, most use gas or electric, with a smoker/wood pan. That way the temperature stays very constant, and they only need to worry about the amount of smoke.)_
Your first mac & cheese looked very basic. Something that you can get out of a box here in the US. You're second looked better. But yes, It should contain 3 to 5 different types of cheeses, with mild & sharp/extra sharp cheddar being mandatory for 2 of the 3 to 5 cheeses. And yes, it needs to be baked, after it is cooked. _(But, like the BBQ baked ribs, it's very easy to do at home. Noodles, milk, butter, grated cheeses, and a _*_lot_*_ of whisking.)_
Baked beans is a ditto to the mac & cheese. US baked beans should be very, *very* different to British baked beans, or Boston baked beans. And yes, there should be a honey or molasses under-sweetness to them. _(I like using a forest or Kiawe honey. It adds some nice tartness to the sweet.)_ But, that should be balanced out with some heat... like Carolina reaper or smoked Jalapeno heat. And, should consist of 2 to 3 differing types of beans. Plus, always some sort of meat added in. Best is what is called brisket _burnt-ends._ They'll give the baked beans a really nice & smoky flavor. And here too, just cooking isn't enough. First cooked, then baked, and best baked in the smoker. And since you start out with dry beans, the cook time here is 48 hours _(plus)._
Cheesesteak sandwich ..come to Philadelphia Pa Usa for the original,but ask the locals on where to go,while in Philly(philadelphia) try porkroll & scrapple( a old world name for scrapple is panhaus).beef ribs & other ribs are considered finger food here should be tender but not fall off the bone.IF you do try smoking brisket go low & slow no more that 225°-250° & atleast 8 hours on smoker
It's unusual, but not unheard of, for a real BBQ joint (one that really smoked their own meat) to cover the meat they serve in sauce. Anyone who smokes a lot of meat (like me) and is proud of the end product would never drown the meat in sauce. We serve it as-is and then the one consuming the meat can choose whatever sauce they wish. Or in the case of my father, no sauce at all. It's all acceptable though and it's down to preference. The United States is a big country, and every state/region is VERY different. The brisket looks legit though and I love mine with pickles. If you can find Famous Daves Sweet and Spicy Pickles in Germany I recommend you try them with the next home smoke. There are also Famous Dave's Devil's Spit XXX Pickles for something a bit spicier. My wife's maiden name is Kinder, so I assume her ancestors were German at some point. She loves Kettle Corn (sweet and salt popcorn). I have ancestors from Bavaria, but I don't really care for it as much as she does.
Hello, Ive been a subscriber to your channel for a number of years now. Love it. i like to see what my brothers and sisters are up to in Germany. And i just watched this most recent video. I had to make some comments. Iam American born and bread. First, i can tell you 99.9% of Americans do not eat hot dogs split into half sections like that. That must be a Five Guys exception to some locations just to be different because we Americans know exactly what Germans know about Hot Dogs and Sausage and that you do not ever cut open hot dogs or sausage because you lose the flavors and natural casing tastes and it dries out the hot dogs. In all the hot dog restaurants, food stands, street dogs, ball parks they would never served hot dogs this way.
Five Guys have some good food but they are not known for hot dogs either. Mostly Burgers. Here's another thing, it makes me so mad when i see another fellow American eating a hot dog that has Ketchup on it. UUHHHGGG!! I just want to slap them lol. With hot dogs its all about the mustard. I like Deitz ball park mustard, red uncooked onions and sometimes cooked. And that's something else we Americans love with hot dogs. The ketchup thing unfortunately was picked up sometime in past history. Nothing more than a bad habit. Ketchup belongs on burgers not hot dogs. Most places that are hot dog serious will not serve you ketchup on the hot dog but have it available to you as you may serve yourself with it in some other part of the restaurant where you cant be seen putting it on lol. The brand of hot dog i always go to is "Dearborn" brand all beef. Named after a small city here in Michigan.
Many American hot dog brands are local recipes and they are different in each city no matter where you go in America and they have been handed down to Americans from Germans, Polish and Italian people who have settled here many years ago. Up in my state of Michigan its all about the Coney island and Chilli dogs. One is savory and one is on the sweet side. but both share no Ingredience to each other. I like mine with just onions on it. Both are very good with beef hot dogs.
Onto the BBQ!!! the best BBQ comes from four states in my opinion and not necessarily in this order because there all good to experience. Every state probably serves BBQ in just about anyway you want it. So if you come to America these are the best places to savor the BBQ.
1.Tennessee
2. Texas (Known for Brisket and dry rub)
3. St Louis Missouri
4. North Carolina
I don't know what kind of Philly Cheese steak you had there but it did not look anything like the way we serve it here. The Best Philly cheese Steaks sandwiches come from Philadelphia Pennsylvania And some times New Jersey. The Cheese and must be melted in with the meat while its cooking along with the onions. The bread is very important as well.
Burger's.. The quintessential American food. sometimes its 80/20 ground chuck, Ground Chuck and Ribeye and sometimes ground chuck and Brisket. There are other combinations of meat mixtures as well. Generally ground chuck is the main choice.You could even go 70/30 lean to fat ratio if you want more flavor. The typical dressings are lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, some type of mayo or thousand island dressing, Ketchup and mustard. salt and pepper while cooking the meat and American cheese of course. Never Cucumbers. I've never seen that on a hamburger or it being offered that way. Sometimes its good with a creamy cole slaw as a substitute for lettuce. There are three ways Americans cook cheeseburgers. Made as a smash burger technique on a flat cast iron skillet, over the open flame of the BBQ which are generally made thicker to absorb the smokey flavor or have them steamed in water like parboil hot dogs.
Cheesecake... The best Cheesecake I've ever eaten in America is from "The Cheesecake Factory". They are in various states around America. And perhaps they may be in Germany too for all i know. Im a Pineapple upside down cake kind of guy so Im partial to that. But Cheesecake is great too and i don't think I've had a better one than from The Cheesecake factory.
Well, that's all i can say for us Americans. Some of our things may be kinda strange to you guys but that's the way we roll. We enjoy German food too. We have plenty Germans living here in Michigan, Frankenmuth comes to mind and im always learning how to cook German food from your channel. Thank you so much. : )
Everything seemed like a fancy restaurant rendition of “BBQ”.
I’ve never seen a hot dog split unless is was at home and we ran out of hot dog buns. Then we might split the hotdog and eat it with bread.
When you come to the U.S. try a Chicago dog, Texas BBQ, and Baja Fish tacos in Southern California. You won’t be disappointed😊
Also, for your husband learning to smoke brisket, start out with an electric smoker like Bradley. They are very easy for people who are just learning. Once he gets the texture down then have him move on to a gas smoker. Those are pretty easy as well.
You should be able to place a fully cooked slice of brisket on your finger and it should hang over your finger like a wet noodle.
Since Germany doesn't have Mesquite trees, you could do a brisket with charcoal and if you can find some mesquite chips you could add them in batches to your bbq grill.
Trick is have your charcoal placed on the opposite side away from the brisket.
You might have to reload the charcoal 3 or 4 times to get to the 8 hour mark.
Note* Indirect heat and the longer the better.
Up to 16 hours.
NOTHING compares to it.
Season it with nothing else but smoke and heat.
I have to agree with most of these comments. Hot dogs shouldn't be split; you lose flavor and juices. Serve with chopped sweet cucumber (relish), onion, ketchup and mustard, maybe chopped or grilled onion. Hot dogs here are beef, pork, or various combinations. I've seen mac and cheese baked with a crust, but not often. There should definitely be multiple cheeses. Your cheesecake did not look like any type of cheesecake I've ever seen. Barbecue is very regional here in the states with each region thinking theirs is the 'original ' and best of course. That all depends on what you like. The pulled pork should have been crusted, but the brisket looked perfect. The burger looked just right. However it looks as though you're eating mostly at what are trying to be top-end restaurants, each trying to 'make it their own ', and not succeeding. All of this is just my opinion of course. I think too much of our American food has become standardized, mostly thanks to national supply chains going for the cheapest, full- of- preservative, lowest cost ways of doing things. For example, a good beef hot dog used to be made by Hebrew National, based in Indianapolis, Indiana. But they were never a huge brand, instead going for quality. I don't even know if they're still in business. Anyway, have fun when you do get here. Take care!
Okay, so American popcorn can be eaten sweet or salty. The most traditional version (think what you would get in a big bucket at a movie theater) is with butter and salt. The most common sweet popcorn is called caramel corn, which has a crunchy caramel outer crust on the fluffy popcorn. Beyond this, there are many ways people like to eat popcorn. Cheese (in particular cheddar) is a popular savory flavor, which is achieved using dehydrated cheese powder. I personally really like using a spice mix that combines chili powder, powdered lime juice, powdered cheese, salt, and sugar. Sweet popcorn can come in dozens of different flavors, though I find these tend to be rather artificial.
That must be a Five Guys things, because we don't cut our hot dogs like that. Contents of a hot dog vary from brand to brand, area to area and personal choices. We have chicken, turkey, pork and beef, and a combination of meats. I personally normally buy a combination of pork and chicken or pork, chicken and beef. Most people who buy beef are those with dietary or religious restrictions. How a hot dog is served will also vary from area to area. Like in some areas, sauerkraut is a normal topping. Some areas, its a beef no bean chili, others is just mustard. Where I live, the most popular is mustard, chili, cole slaw and raw onions, or mustard chili and cheese. But if I'm making them at home, on the stove, just keep it simple with ketchup and mustard, sometimes relish and cole slaw, on the grill sometimes bbq sauce.
Being an American, I can tell you the only thing that you had that was authentic was the mac and cheese and the burger. Also the barbecue and buffalo wings. The hot dogs are usually split at Five Guys to make it more like a sandwich but typically most people serve them whole and we have all kinds of variations. The classic has ketchup, mustard, and dill pickle relish or as you would call chopped up pickled cucumber. Another American dish I would recommend this chicken and waffles, basically it's a fried piece of chicken whether it's a fried chicken or chicken tenders or chicken nuggets and serve it over a waffle and cover with maple syrup
Creamy coleslaw is so much better than vinegar slaw. Also, I think a traditional Philly cheese steak has green/red bell peppers and onions. No sauce but it’s delicious with horseradish sauce.
Ah right! Thanks!
I serve vinegar and oil slaw with my barbecue along with a mayonnaise and mustard based potato salad. Salt the cabbage to leach out excess moisture before adding the remaining ingredients. I use white wine vinegar, oil, sugar, caraway and black pepper. Enjoy …
In the USA Five Guys and In & Out Burger are considered the two top burger franchises. I've given 5 Guys three visits and did not like them at all. I have yet to try In & Out burger. In a twist recently a third burger chain got the top spot; Culvers. They serve frozen custard as well. And they are from my state. But their burger isn't the best I've had either. The best I had was from a small hut near my high school many years ago. Just a young guy trying to make a try at the business.
Everything mostly looks like the American version but some items had a touch of Europe in them.
Your son is a handsome kid, very cute.
Hello Marta
Good choices for the condiments on the hot dog and the Burger 🍔
damn that burger looks good! as am american I say you all have great foods
Ahhh Max has surely grown 🥹😀 I think it’s safe to say that he’s now also a foodie like mom and dad 😉. It was a bit of a surprise to see American food featured in your channel, I am not complaining at all 😊😊 I hope you get to do your American foodtour trip next year 😋
Five Guys burgers sind super. Die fires Portionen hier in unserer Gegend in Florida sind massive.
Buffalo Wings brauchen mehr Sauce.
I hope you get to travel to the USA 🇺🇸 and have some authentic bbq. Have never been to Texas but I do hear they have amazing bbq! 😋. Thank you for taking us along ❤️😋🥳
Thanks Janette for watching
Very familiar American is pretty close to Canadian. That said you drive 50 miles to cross the boarder and their McDonald's and KFC so different! If And their KFC mashed instead of fries.But even chicken recipe different. Few things I have never seen here is Gritts and sweet potato pie. Ribs are popular here to but not a fan ! If your in Buffalo I would recommend crossing to see the Falls in Ontario. I have been to Buffalo,NewYork State is Beautifull. Take Care.
Thanks Tim. Yes, that’s always funny, that the food tastes so different. But we’ll, they using different ingredients, so that’s tricky. I went few times to Rochester, because the company that I worked for here in Germany had their headquarters there. It was nice experience getting to know American colleagues and so nice because they always took me to eat something unexpected. I even had a garbage plate 😉
That was not American cheesecake - American cheesecake is firm not watery and soggy. I've never been to a place in the US slice a hotdog in half -- if you're going to 5 Guys you have to get the fries! The first ribs looked like lamb ribs - not pork ribs. The second version of macaroni and cheese looked more American style. Beef ribs are really not a big thing in the US - I've only seen them in cities that were not known for BBQ. When you visit you'll have to come to Kansas City, Missouri for the best BBQ.
Thanks John 😎
I believe the American food you get in Germany is better than the American or German food you get in America, unless you pay very high prices for it. I have heard many visitors to America say how bad the food is here, and I agree. We mostly eat at home, and finding quality ingredients at a reasonable price can be difficult.
America is a massive country with a lot of different cuisines. To say we have bad food makes me wonder where on earth you eat. We have excellent food.
If you love bbq Texas is the place for you. We also have the best TexMex food. Let us know if you make it here we would love to meet you.
Thanks Carmen!
Philly cheese steak is sliced and chopped ribeye or sirloin beef tips, white onion, bell pepper, spices of chili powder,salt, black pepper and hint of cayenne pepper, topped onto white American cheese in a bun.
The authentic is topped with a little bit of ketchup.
The meat and veggies and spices are cooked and chopped on a flat top grill, bun split open but not completely and is placed on the griddle white side down while you cook the meat and veggies.
You then take the bun off, layer several slices of white American cheese and load the sandwich.
Perfect! Thanks for those details! :)
Wow all of these foods look delicious
Better than what is served in the USA 🇺🇸
Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Yaaaaaaaaaaa !
😘👍🏻
I just wanted to give a shout out to your husband for eating his cheeseburger with his HANDS like a real American instead of a knife and fork like a German.
Hahahahahaha thanks Nick! 😂😂
@@cooking-the-world I also meant to tell you that I visited Frankfurt on my way back to Berlin from Switzerland. I stayed right across the street from the Hauptbahnhof around the corner from the red light district. Wow! That was an experience. The next day I went for a long walk to Grüneburgpark and back through Westend to Innenstadt then Altstadt. After that I walked down the Main river and over the many bridges to enjoy the sunset. Gorgeous city 😘
I always love your videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
The trick for authentic Barbecue is low heat 240f for 8 hours at minimum or 350f if wrapped in foil and baked for 3-4 hours.
Pork of beef should slip off the bone cooked correctly.
personally I like the foil methods. I coat the ribs with about 1/4 cup of bbq sauce before I put it inside the foil.
Brisket needs to always be wood smoked for 12-14 hours.
Thanks!
@@cooking-the-world typically a brisket gets a wrapping in no wax butcher paper to keep it from losing the fat and juices. Prevents drying out.
ahh Marta , you need to try Canadian food , poutine /beaver tails / maple syrup / look up sugar shack/ . croton a french canadian spread/ cheers .
I think canadian food is nothing to brag about compared to german food! I'll take a Gulasch , Rouladen or a Schnitzel over a poutine anyday!!
Thanks Larry. I wonder if there are any Canadian restaurants here in Germany.
I want to take a little credit for this video, as I remember asking you to do this a couple of years back :) Hopefully you were able to enjoy some of this less than heroic cuisine!
Yes James, that was you!:) thanks for the great idea, it was interesting subject and fun to film. Just going out and filming with Max is still a bit crazy 😅 sometimes he likes doing something in the high chair, but sometimes he is all over the place 😉
@@cooking-the-world Max looks adorable and is growing up very quickly! I am glad your family could enjoy some American style meals. Your fans are looking forward to you visiting us here in the USA, and we all will happily show you around to see some sights and restaurants.
Thanks!
Thank you 🤩
