This is actually the CookOut location that I visit. It's in Raleigh, NC near NC State University. They had no idea what the chopped pork barbecue sandwich was. It's NOT tuna. It's pork in a vinegar based sauce and it's delicious. A scoop of vanilla ice cream in root beer is also game changing!!!
We have a Cook Out in my hometown in South Carolina. It's good as far as fast food goes, but I prefer privately owned BBQ restaurants. Was the root beer you tried ice cold? If there isn't frost on the outside of the can, you weren't getting the proper experience. LOL And even if root beer isn't your favorite, a root beer float will change your mind immediately. (Just add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream to a tall glass of root beer. Consume with a straw AND a long iced tea spoon)
We have a Cookout in Maryville TN. Carolina bbq requires a bit of adjustment because of the vinegar based sauce, but you crave it once you get use to it.
I dont think they have creamer in Europe, but if you add a cm of vanilla creamer to the bottom of your glass, and then fill the rest up with ice and root beer, it tastes really good. Boston Coolers are also insanely good.
I live in North Carolina and there are lots of Cook Outs here. My favorite lunch is a tray with a corn dog and 2 chicken quesadillas! Cheerwine does not taste like root beer. It’s very sweet.
Who else would like to see Andre make some videos about life in Portugal? There are plenty of tourist videos but I think Andre would be far more interesting with his local knowledge, great personality and Russian accent.
Helene has caused lots of damage far inland away from the coast. Northeast Tennessee and western North Carolina have gotten hammered by terrible flooding. A bunch of dams are on the verge of failure.
Like Bojangles, Cookout originated here in North Carolina. Most are drive thru only, some offer limited outdoor seating and a handful have indoor seating as well.
CAJUN = Southern Louisiana is littered with swamp (or bayou). Most of the people that inhabit these areas are of French descent (European and/or Canadian). They tend to like their food spicy, so the combination of spices they use is called Cajun Seasoning.
Like a white flour can be made from wheat cornmeal is a course "flour" made from dried corn. Hushpuppies and Corndogs both use a cornmeal batter. The best hushpuppies have a little bit of chopped onion in the seasoned batter and then deep fried. Corndogs are our hotdogs dipped in a cornmeal batter (without any onions added) and are also deep fried. The corndogs that I ever had were homemade when the cook added just a touch of spice to the batter. Josh & Ollies have not yet figured out that to eat a corndog off the stick you push the corndogs up the stick to make it easier to eat. 😂
Cheerwine is CHERRY - not root beer... one of the bbq places near me has it on fountain, but no cherry coke, so i mix the coke and cheerwine together....
A corn dog is a frankfurter (very mild sausage, sorta). That is dipped in a cornbread type ,batter then deep fried. Served with your choice of condiments. They can be pretty darn good!
I live in North Carolina. Cook-Out around here in my city is good if they get your order right. And Cheerwine is my favorite soda. Made here in my city. Cheerwine DOES NOT taste like root beer. I HATE root beer myself. Its a cherry flavor soda.
Never once heard of CookOut. Corndog and hotdog are different, you can't compare it. Corndogs are greasier because it's deep fried so the juice of the hotdog is trapped inside the cornbread coating. It's weird they said hush puppies are the coating for corndogs deep fried instead of saying it's deep fried balls of cornbread.
We grind corn into “sand” like consistency and we use that to make cornbread, corn muffins and it’s also used to make the batter for corn dogs, just make up a medium thick batter, put a stick in the end of a hot dog, dip the dog into the batter and fry it in a vat of oil.
Saturday night at 7:22 pm. I was sitting here trying to think of what I wanted to eat and I saw this video and I thought, "Yes! That's what I want! " So I got 2 corn dogs from the freezer and put them in the microwave. And a diet Pepsi. Thanks !!
Corndogs with mustard are the BEST!!!!! When their is a Corndog on the menu. I get one or two....When you go to the fair, you get a Corndog. When you go to the zoo you get a Corndog, When you go to a Rodeo or Baseball game, you get a Corndog!! They are so unbelievably good!...If you can get a box of frozen Corndogs at your store, get them. They aren't as good as fresh, but you will get the idea!
Hot Dogs are kind of classic street food. Get it from a cart, get it dressed to suit, and it’s like a quick half-meal on the go. Corn dogs are fair food, which is a whole different vibe. Good walking-around food. Dress it simply with mustard, maybe ketchup, and enjoy that crispy, cakey shell. In a lot of ways it’s an exercise in the elegance of simplicity. Both are good, but they’re VERY different.
@@TangoTanglein my experience it’s a cornbread coating… not a pancake. But, of course, in the USA you can purchase pre-made frozen hot dogs in pancake coating instead of cornbread.
@@74artgrrl A corn dog is, by and large, a single condiment treat. Hot dogs you load down with multiple toppings. Now an interesting experiment would be a hot dog with a corn dog breading in the form of a bun (almost a tortilla) and then loaded.
Cajun seasoning originated from Louisiana. That flavoring is used everywhere to a degree because it is so popular here in America. Especially in the south, but even in the north now.
Cook Out is a favourite of ours, and our city is finally getting one. Our child learned about it at University, cheap food and lots of it. Corn dog, nuggets, cajun fries, shake and burger for $6.00
Andre cajun originated in Louisiana but you can get the flavor anywhere in the U.S. Also how you can get BBQ in basically every state not just Texas lol
Actually the Cajun originated in Acadia, in Canada, they migrated to Louisiana to escape persecution. They created the Cajun, short for Acadian, culture in Louisiana.
I live in the US and I have never heard of "the cookout". But yeah, there are so many small chains and standalone restaurants and many have crazy menu items. If you ever come to the US try The Cracker Barrel and The Waffle House. They are great. Plus the waffle house late at night is crazy.
You may not like this idea but maybe you should try root beer again, but this time in the form of an ice cream float. That just means mixing in your root beer with some vanilla ice cream. Personally I prefer French vanilla. It truly does change the flavor and it's delicious.

One thing to know about In N Out, it's hamburgers only, plus fries of course. You won't be getting corn dogs or chicken nuggets at In N Out. They do have excellent shakes, only three flavors(strawberry, vanilla, chocolate). A place like Cook Out has a little of everything. I like corn dogs. I like the corn meal that surrounds the hot dog, and I like that it's on a stick so it's easy to hold while you eat it. I put a little mustard and hot sauce on mine when I get one. Regular hot dogs are better when you want a hot dog with more toppings on it. A chili dog for example wouldn't work in a corndog form.
You've obviously never had a good Root Beer then Andre! There's quite a few brands that I don't like, but there are several that I just love! You can't judge Root Beer by one taste test!
He had A&W "root beer". So basically cream soda. But the thing is, he also had A&W cream soda, and he liked that. They're essentially identical flavors (A&W root beer versus A&W cream soda: I can't even tell the difference between them). But he reacted *very* differently to them. So I have no idea what's going on with that.
@@jonadabtheunsightly In parts of Europe, they use a flavor similar root beer to flavor medicine. I've never known a European visitor to the US to take to root beer.

Corn dogs are just hotdogs dipped in corn bread batter and deep fried. So simple, so good. Eat dipped in mustard and ketchup. Hush puppies are drops of cornbread batter deep fried. I don't think anybody else but the Americas has the corn tradition we do. Cajun is culture/food out of Louisiana. Spicy, smokey, good. Quesadillas should be eaten glopped up with salsa, sour cream, guacamole and refried beans. These guys don't know what they are doing.
Now to be fair, while quesadillas are SUPERIOR with some meat in them, and all the fixin's, there are plenty of places that sell basic cheese quesadillas, often cause it's something even fairly picky children will eat.
Yeah, but where else? There actually aren't that many places that sell corn dogs outside of a fair/carnival. It's pretty much Sonic, or the gas station. Or the grocery store, but those aren't the same. Yes hot dog stands, but those are relatively rare too.
Any flavor of float makes the beverage a dessert. Most popular probably is a root beer float. But a Coke float works, too. Adding creamy vanilla to Coke, root beer, or Cherwine makes it so much better. Try buying a small bit of vanilla ice cream, pour your cola choice into a glass, then add a scoop of ice cream. Very classic American diner beverage.
In the South, outdoor cookouts (particularly fish fries) were a big social event; the rural counterpart to a block party. Of course most people had dogs and would bring them along, and you know dogs - they smell food, they want some. So while frying the fish, the cook(s) would also drop dollops of the cornmeal batter into the oil. After cooling a bit, they'd throw the fried dollops to the dogs with the admonishment "Hush, puppy!" The best thing about hushpuppies is they pick up flavor from whatever was dipped in the batter and fried in the oil and the amalgam of flavors is absolutely incredible! "Root beer" is like "casserole", and comes in almost as wide a variety - every brand tastes a bit different and everyone has their favorite(s). Mug is the best for floats IMHO, though I absolutely insist on Barq's for drinking straight. There's a place near where I grew up in Amarillo, TX called K&N and their root beer is far and away the absolute best root beer! They make it on-site using a closely-guarded recipe and technique, and they (used to, anyways) serve it in a glass mug so cold that the root beer would freeze to the sides. Cajun is the OG of fusion - French culinary prowess combined with the bounty of the Gulf Coast, the citrus zest of the southeast, and the bite of spices from Mexico.
Corn Dogs aren't southern. The Pronto Pup vendors at the Minnesota State Fair claim to have invented the corn dog in 1941. On June 16, 1946, Cozy Dog Drive-in, in Springfield, Illinois, claims to have been the first to serve corn dogs on sticks.
You have to make a rtbeer float. (Ice cream on a glass with the root beer poured over it. And use a straw to sip but use a spoon to stir and eat the ice cream.
This Cookout is down the street from me. Yes, the food is great and the milkshakes are awesome. The best thing is the people of Raleigh, we rock ya'll!!!
Corndogs are hotdogs dipped in cornbread batter and deep fried until golden brown. I love them with Gulden's Spicy Brown mustard. At home I dip sausages in pancake batter, fry like a corndog. Serve it with Maple and Blueberry syrups. I live in NH it makes a great breakfast.
In N Out is nowhere close to one of the best restaurants in America. It is a chain of restaurants serving a limited menu of burger joint fast food that is inexpensive but still high quality. It competes on price with McDonald’s and similar fast food restaurants, but the quality, freshness of the produce, etc. is much higher. That doesn’t mean that they’re among the best restaurants in America, nor that they serve the best burgers in America. But for what it is, In N Out is very good. Set your expectations appropriately and enjoy instead of trying to claim that it is something that it is not.
I have friends who say it’s the best, tho I do not like it at all. It’s an opinion, everyone’s is different. People need to stop treating opinions as facts.
Hush Puppies are great. I've never had a corn dog before but I can't imagine I wouldn't like it. Cheerwine is a cherry soda. It doesn't taste like root beer ordinarily but maybe combined with the ice cream it does. The funny thing about the Proverbs quote is that it's not a Proverbs quote, but it should be. Cajun is a region, a flavor, and a way of life. Cajun food is usually spicy. Not necessarily always hot, but very flavorful.
It's a deep south fast food place. There's one a block from my work. Great just puppies and shakes. The reason that their cheese cake shakes are so good is because they fill a cup full of ice cream then throw in a real piece of cheesecake and blend it! So good! Pumpkin pie shake in autumn is the same..
Hushpuppies are just deep fried balls of seasoned corn meal. Had one tonight myself with a catfish dinner. Corndogs and Hushpuppies are best when they are freshly made (dipped into cornmeal) and deep fried right then and there. Not so much if you're heating up frozen ones in the microwave or airfryer.
Never heard of “Cook Out” fast food restaurant. I’m old school, give me a chocolate or vanilla shake. (Once in a blue moon I have a strawberry shake. Corndogs are awesome dipped in MUSTARD
Cook Out is a North Carolina fast food restaurant. Oh, and there’s one in Louisville, KY. Yes, you really can mix milkshake flavors. We split a chocolate-walnut milkshake. The red cherry and pineapple milkshakes are good too by themselves, but I’m tempted to try them mixed together.
Here in West Virginia The cookout offers a combo that includes 1 entree of either a burger (reg, or big double), a BBQ, 2 hotdogs, Quesadillas, Chicken ( reg, Cajun, spicy, BBQ or strips) and 2 sides of either hush puppies. Slaw, onion rings, fries, chicken nuggets, chili, corn dog, chicken wrap, quesadillas( chicken or beef), bacon wrap or white cheese bite an a drink for about $8 or $9.
Comments from the video: I love Corn Dogs! As for Hush Puppies - the outside is like a corn dog, but on the inside there is usually made with flour, onions, and scallions. Cheerwine is not alcoholic. I agree with you about Root Beer - I don’t like it. Definitely vanilla wafers in the Banana pudding shake. Cookout is a place that is mainly in the south east of the US - and there aren’t tons of them yet, so there are probably a lot of people who haven’t been there.
Cook Out is a chain started in North Carolina. Anyone from here has had cook out and it is a summetime favorite due to the milkshakes and plate combo options.
I was born and raised in Minnesota, went on to live in Hawaii, Nevada and Colorado. Ending up in North Carolina. It's the Carolina burger hands-down for me. Oh and ya. I've been to that particular Cook Out, and others in the Raleigh area.
The Cookout Tray with 2 slaw dogs, hushpuppies and walking taco as sides is my most common order. Their hot dogs are awesome, taste just like you cooked them out on the grill at home. The coleslaw is the perfect condiment for the hot dog, long with mustard and onions. The bbq sandwich with slaw is not the best bbq youll find but is good for a ff place. The cajun chicken sandwich is THE best chicken sandwich you will find anywhere. All that said, the absolute best part of Cookout is the amount of food you get for the money. Its the cheapest lunch i can find but the food is good and you get good sized portions.
Cookout is good for a quick meal where you already know your favorite combo. It's a trial an error for your first few visits, then you find your best combination. The best shake is watermelon, only available in summer.
Cajun spice blend that I make is (you can also add salt, but I prefer to salt separately) 3 parts paprika (I use smoked paprika) 2 parts garlic powder 1 part black pepper 1 part white pepper 1 part onion powder 1 part dried oregano 1 part cayenne pepper 1/2 parts dried thyme I also hate root beer, but add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it's a different creature
Proverbs 3 5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Hot Dogs arent a southern food. It came from Germany and is considered All American now. NOT from the South. Oh,and we love grilled chicken here in America as well as deep fried Chicken.
Cajun seasoning is a spice mix from the same region and is a spicy combination of cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic, onion and other spices. It’s fabulous on meat, seafood and, apparently, fries. 😂
My go to cookout order: BBQ sandwich with a side of corndog and hushpuppies and a cheerwine float. Except in July, because then they have the watermelon shake, and I'm partial to it.
Cook Out is a regional chain, mostly in North Carolina. Best known for burgers and milk shakes. In n Out is well known in CA, the rest of us in the US think it's ok but certainly not "the best" IMHO In N Out is kind of plain. Another thing... Cheerwine DOES NOT taste like root beer. It is a Cherry flavored soda, another NC regional item.
Hush puppies are deep-fried dough balls made of cornmeal. I’ve had them with chopped jalapeños, but I’m not sure if that’s the normal way to have them Joss is saying corn, but it’s not corn it’s cornmeal.
Wienerschnitzel is a fast food restaurant that sells mostly hotdogs and corndogs. They don’t have as many locations as they used to, but there are a few that are still around
Chopped jalapeños and finely minced onions are two common ingredients you’ll find added into hush puppy batter. Usually, if they add chopped jalapeños they list it somewhere on the menu so people will be forewarned.
I love jollys videos and love your channel. I do wish they would learn how to eat corn dogs and every other thing I see them try on a stick. They need to push whatever they are eating up the stick after the stick is visible instead of eating it from the side like a crazy person. Lol. Their American Camara man could say something to them.
In & Out is a fast food joint, no better than most. The buns are the best part. Corn dogs are sold everywhere esp at gas stations or in the grocery store frozen food isle. Love corn dogs. La. state Fair has the best ones. Cajun food uses certain spices.
The biblical verse wasn't meant to refer to the slogan preceding it; the joke comes from suggesting that it did. Cajun seasoning can be created in anyone's kitchen, or purchased as a seasoning mix from an endless amount of food companies.
The corn dog was accidentally prepared in Oklahoma by a cook from Illinois. He returned to Springfield, Illinois where he perfected it. His heirs still run the Cozy Dog Cafe, home of the American corn dog.
@13:40 "Cajun" is a shortened form of Acadian. The Acadians were originally from France, left or were kicked out (if I remember my Louisiana history right) for religious reasons. They 1st tried to settle in Canada, but then eventually ended up in south Louisiana. Main area is in Acadiana which is south central Louisiana (I'm originally from Lafayette). The "cajun spices" that people refer to are a mix of different seasonings, most importantly cayenne pepper. There's lots of brands that make the mix, but the most popular are Tony Chachere's or Slap Ya Mama. Fun fact, if you travel north along the Mississippi River you'll find lots of little towns with French roots too, especially in Missouri (where I am now).
Cookout started in North Carolina and hasn't branched out too far from there yet, so that's why a lot of people probably haven't heard of it. It is my very favorite fast food place to go to. The food isn't expensive and it is almost always delicious. They sell some of the best hamburgers! I hope you get to try it one day.
Never heard of that chain, but then again I am a "northerner" ;) Corndogs are standard in US for drive-in restaurants. It involves a hot dog dipped in corn bread batter. A&W Restaurants have corndogs, but the big burger restaurants typically do not

Corn dogs are just hotdogs dipped in corn bread batter and deep fried. So simple, so good. Eat dipped in mustard and ketchup. Hush puppies are drops of cornbread batter deep fried. I don't think anybody else but the Americas has the corn tradition we do. Cajun is culture/food out of Louisiana. Spicy, smokey, good. Quesadillas should be eaten glopped up with salsa, sour cream, guacamole and refried beans. These guys don't know what they are doing.
Now to be fair, while quesadillas are SUPERIOR with some meat in them, and all the fixin's, there are plenty of places that sell basic cheese quesadillas, often cause it's something even fairly picky children will eat.
Sonic sells corn dogs.
Yeah, but where else? There actually aren't that many places that sell corn dogs outside of a fair/carnival. It's pretty much Sonic, or the gas station. Or the grocery store, but those aren't the same. Yes hot dog stands, but those are relatively rare too.
And Krystal sells cornpups.
@@33MarciS where’s Krystal? What area?
@@lisal6121 I'm from Georgia, and you can find them everywhere here. Krystal is considered the Southern version of White Castle.
Weinerschnitzel sells nothing BUT hot dogs and corn dogs
Any flavor of float makes the beverage a dessert. Most popular probably is a root beer float. But a Coke float works, too. Adding creamy vanilla to Coke, root beer, or Cherwine makes it so much better. Try buying a small bit of vanilla ice cream, pour your cola choice into a glass, then add a scoop of ice cream. Very classic American diner beverage.
In the South, outdoor cookouts (particularly fish fries) were a big social event; the rural counterpart to a block party. Of course most people had dogs and would bring them along, and you know dogs - they smell food, they want some. So while frying the fish, the cook(s) would also drop dollops of the cornmeal batter into the oil. After cooling a bit, they'd throw the fried dollops to the dogs with the admonishment "Hush, puppy!" The best thing about hushpuppies is they pick up flavor from whatever was dipped in the batter and fried in the oil and the amalgam of flavors is absolutely incredible!
"Root beer" is like "casserole", and comes in almost as wide a variety - every brand tastes a bit different and everyone has their favorite(s). Mug is the best for floats IMHO, though I absolutely insist on Barq's for drinking straight. There's a place near where I grew up in Amarillo, TX called K&N and their root beer is far and away the absolute best root beer! They make it on-site using a closely-guarded recipe and technique, and they (used to, anyways) serve it in a glass mug so cold that the root beer would freeze to the sides.
Cajun is the OG of fusion - French culinary prowess combined with the bounty of the Gulf Coast, the citrus zest of the southeast, and the bite of spices from Mexico.
Cajun spice mixture is hot, and has many herbs in it! It can be quite surprising to the palette..
I put too much in the last gumbo I made. It would make your nose run.😂
I really like seeing your reactions to the foods we like and take for granted.
It’s just cornmeal. Brazil and Latin America have cornmeal. A Brazilian grocery store in Portugal should have cornmeal.
Corn Dogs aren't southern. The Pronto Pup vendors at the Minnesota State Fair claim to have invented the corn dog in 1941. On June 16, 1946, Cozy Dog Drive-in, in Springfield, Illinois, claims to have been the first to serve corn dogs on sticks.
I Love corndogs! With mustard.
You have to make a rtbeer float. (Ice cream on a glass with the root beer poured over it. And use a straw to sip but use a spoon to stir and eat the ice cream.
This Cookout is down the street from me. Yes, the food is great and the milkshakes are awesome. The best thing is the people of Raleigh, we rock ya'll!!!
I love a corn dog, but at-the fair, after dark all the lights, music, people. Hot dog on a stick, dipped in a corn meal batter and deep fry. yum
Corndogs are hotdogs dipped in cornbread batter and deep fried until golden brown. I love them with Gulden's Spicy Brown mustard. At home I dip sausages in pancake batter, fry like a corndog. Serve it with Maple and Blueberry syrups. I live in NH it makes a great breakfast.
Just as Italians are from Italy and they make Italian food. Cajun and creole make Cajun food.
Cheerwine is an old fashioned soda.
Yeah. It’s a cherry flavored soda from Salisbury, NC.
I'm originally from NC, Cheerwine is my life
In N Out is nowhere close to one of the best restaurants in America. It is a chain of restaurants serving a limited menu of burger joint fast food that is inexpensive but still high quality. It competes on price with McDonald’s and similar fast food restaurants, but the quality, freshness of the produce, etc. is much higher. That doesn’t mean that they’re among the best restaurants in America, nor that they serve the best burgers in America. But for what it is, In N Out is very good. Set your expectations appropriately and enjoy instead of trying to claim that it is something that it is not.
That's a good explanation.
I have friends who say it’s the best, tho I do not like it at all. It’s an opinion, everyone’s is different. People need to stop treating opinions as facts.
Best "Corn Dog" i ever had was a breakfast sausage dipped in the same batter ,on a stick and had maple syrup to dip it in...omg so good.
Cheerwine is not rootbeer not even close
not all root beer is the same
I didn’t see the video, but Europeans tend to drink soda room temperature and you probably know that root beer taste delicious when it’s cold
@@mildredpierce4506I can drink it either way but prefer ice cold
Hush Puppies are great. I've never had a corn dog before but I can't imagine I wouldn't like it. Cheerwine is a cherry soda. It doesn't taste like root beer ordinarily but maybe combined with the ice cream it does. The funny thing about the Proverbs quote is that it's not a Proverbs quote, but it should be. Cajun is a region, a flavor, and a way of life. Cajun food is usually spicy. Not necessarily always hot, but very flavorful.
It's a deep south fast food place. There's one a block from my work. Great just puppies and shakes. The reason that their cheese cake shakes are so good is because they fill a cup full of ice cream then throw in a real piece of cheesecake and blend it! So good! Pumpkin pie shake in autumn is the same..
Hushpuppies are just deep fried balls of seasoned corn meal. Had one tonight myself with a catfish dinner. Corndogs and Hushpuppies are best when they are freshly made (dipped into cornmeal) and deep fried right then and there. Not so much if you're heating up frozen ones in the microwave or airfryer.
You had one? I usually have at least 5 myself.
We have a Cook Out in my town. People mostly go there for the milkshakes and onion rings. The food is mediocre at best. 🍔
Never heard of “Cook Out” fast food restaurant. I’m old school, give me a chocolate or vanilla shake. (Once in a blue moon I have a strawberry shake.
Corndogs are awesome dipped in MUSTARD
So you like the worst flavor of milkshakes. Strawberry is the best.
My favorite corn dogs are at the Cozy Dog in Springfield, Illinois, right on Historic Route 66.
Cookout is primarily in the south and usually near college towns because its easy and cheap, but I love cookout.
Cook out is so good. The eggnog shakes during Christmas are awesome
Mustard on the corn dog. Simple snack, available at grocery deli, same as fried chicken etc.
Cook Out is a North Carolina fast food restaurant. Oh, and there’s one in Louisville, KY. Yes, you really can mix milkshake flavors. We split a chocolate-walnut milkshake. The red cherry and pineapple milkshakes are good too by themselves, but I’m tempted to try them mixed together.
Here in West Virginia The cookout offers a combo that includes 1 entree of either a burger (reg, or big double), a BBQ, 2 hotdogs, Quesadillas, Chicken ( reg, Cajun, spicy, BBQ or strips) and 2 sides of either hush puppies. Slaw, onion rings, fries, chicken nuggets, chili, corn dog, chicken wrap, quesadillas( chicken or beef), bacon wrap or white cheese bite an a drink for about $8 or $9.
Comments from the video:
I love Corn Dogs! As for Hush Puppies - the outside is like a corn dog, but on the inside there is usually made with flour, onions, and scallions.
Cheerwine is not alcoholic. I agree with you about Root Beer - I don’t like it.
Definitely vanilla wafers in the Banana pudding shake.
Cookout is a place that is mainly in the south east of the US - and there aren’t tons of them yet, so there are probably a lot of people who haven’t been there.
Cook Out is a chain started in North Carolina. Anyone from here has had cook out and it is a summetime favorite due to the milkshakes and plate combo options.
The burger is what we call a Carolina burger... chili slaw mustard and onion
I was born and raised in Minnesota, went on to live in Hawaii, Nevada and Colorado. Ending up in North Carolina. It's the Carolina burger hands-down for me. Oh and ya. I've been to that particular Cook Out, and others in the Raleigh area.
The Cookout Tray with 2 slaw dogs, hushpuppies and walking taco as sides is my most common order. Their hot dogs are awesome, taste just like you cooked them out on the grill at home. The coleslaw is the perfect condiment for the hot dog, long with mustard and onions. The bbq sandwich with slaw is not the best bbq youll find but is good for a ff place. The cajun chicken sandwich is THE best chicken sandwich you will find anywhere.
All that said, the absolute best part of Cookout is the amount of food you get for the money. Its the cheapest lunch i can find but the food is good and you get good sized portions.
Cookout is good for a quick meal where you already know your favorite combo. It's a trial an error for your first few visits, then you find your best combination.
The best shake is watermelon, only available in summer.
Cajun spice blend that I make is (you can also add salt, but I prefer to salt separately)
3 parts paprika (I use smoked paprika)
2 parts garlic powder
1 part black pepper
1 part white pepper
1 part onion powder
1 part dried oregano
1 part cayenne pepper
1/2 parts dried thyme
I also hate root beer, but add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it's a different creature
Proverbs 3 5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Thanks, I would have added this if you hadn't.
Hot Dogs arent a southern food. It came from Germany and is considered All American now. NOT from the South.
Oh,and we love grilled chicken here in America as well as deep fried Chicken.
Cajun seasoning is a spice mix from the same region and is a spicy combination of cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic, onion and other spices. It’s fabulous on meat, seafood and, apparently, fries. 😂
There's one (or two.... or three....) CookOut locations on the way home from work, depending on which way I go. The milkshakes are YUMMMMMMM.
My go to cookout order: BBQ sandwich with a side of corndog and hushpuppies and a cheerwine float. Except in July, because then they have the watermelon shake, and I'm partial to it.
Cookout a regional chain based in North Carolina. Wikipedia has an article on it. They're building one in my town and I'm looking forward to it.
They opened one in Birmingham when I lived in the south. The food is decent.
Cajun flavor is the seasoning.....it's very spicy
Cook Out is a regional chain, mostly in North Carolina. Best known for burgers and milk shakes. In n Out is well known in CA, the rest of us in the US think it's ok but certainly not "the best" IMHO In N Out is kind of plain. Another thing... Cheerwine DOES NOT taste like root beer. It is a Cherry flavored soda, another NC regional item.
I love a good corndog.
Hushpuppies are awesome, I usually eat them with cocktail sauce.
Hush puppies are deep-fried dough balls made of cornmeal. I’ve had them with chopped jalapeños, but I’m not sure if that’s the normal way to have them
Joss is saying corn, but it’s not corn it’s cornmeal.
Wienerschnitzel is a fast food restaurant that sells mostly hotdogs and corndogs. They don’t have as many locations as they used to, but there are a few that are still around
Chopped jalapeños and finely minced onions are two common ingredients you’ll find added into hush puppy batter. Usually, if they add chopped jalapeños they list it somewhere on the menu so people will be forewarned.
I love jollys videos and love your channel. I do wish they would learn how to eat corn dogs and every other thing I see them try on a stick. They need to push whatever they are eating up the stick after the stick is visible instead of eating it from the side like a crazy person. Lol. Their American Camara man could say something to them.
I've never heard of this place before, but I definitely want to try it!
In & Out is a fast food joint, no better than most. The buns are the best part. Corn dogs are sold everywhere esp at gas stations or in the grocery store frozen food isle. Love corn dogs. La. state Fair has the best ones. Cajun food uses certain spices.
The biblical verse wasn't meant to refer to the slogan preceding it; the joke comes from suggesting that it did. Cajun seasoning can be created in anyone's kitchen, or purchased as a seasoning mix from an endless amount of food companies.
The corn dog was accidentally prepared in Oklahoma by a cook from Illinois. He returned to Springfield, Illinois where he perfected it. His heirs still run the Cozy Dog Cafe, home of the American corn dog.
cheerwine is cherry flavored soda. dr pepper has a cherry dr. pepper that tastes very close to cheerwine.
@13:40 "Cajun" is a shortened form of Acadian. The Acadians were originally from France, left or were kicked out (if I remember my Louisiana history right) for religious reasons. They 1st tried to settle in Canada, but then eventually ended up in south Louisiana. Main area is in Acadiana which is south central Louisiana (I'm originally from Lafayette).
The "cajun spices" that people refer to are a mix of different seasonings, most importantly cayenne pepper. There's lots of brands that make the mix, but the most popular are Tony Chachere's or Slap Ya Mama.
Fun fact, if you travel north along the Mississippi River you'll find lots of little towns with French roots too, especially in Missouri (where I am now).
I love combining milkshake flavors❤
They also have blueberry pancake sausage on a stick.
Corn dogs are awesome, it has honey in the batter. You got the sweet breading, salty and savory dog. Its really good
I live in the northwest of the US, I've never had really authentic southern BBQ. But it all sounds delicious.
Corn dog with ketchup and mustard is AWESOME
Here in Utah we have a small chain called Iceburg, and their specialty is above the rim, super thick shakes and the have about 40 flavors.
Cookout started in North Carolina and hasn't branched out too far from there yet, so that's why a lot of people probably haven't heard of it. It is my very favorite fast food place to go to. The food isn't expensive and it is almost always delicious. They sell some of the best hamburgers! I hope you get to try it one day.
Never heard of that chain, but then again I am a "northerner" ;)
Corndogs are standard in US for drive-in restaurants. It involves a hot dog dipped in corn bread batter.
A&W Restaurants have corndogs, but the big burger restaurants typically do not
