Debbie was so kind, attentive, understanding and willing to teach ♥️ Debbie is the best!
This is such a weird video for me to watch. I’ve known Debbie since I was little she’s the best!
that is Southern Hospitality... it's a real thing, a way of life. It's what I love about the south, good friendly down home peoples
@@dylanwedge3721 that's amazing! It's incredible how small the world really is
Miss Debbie seems sweet.
What a wonderful lady your hostess was. And great food.
I wish I was rich, and not afraid of flying. Oh well...
I’m from Mississippi, and I have a cousin who moved to England and married a guy who owned a fish market. When she found out that crawfish are an invasive species there, she told him to have his guys go out and catch as many as they could. While they were doing that, she made up the best Cajun crawfish boil spice mix she could come up with, so when they got back with the crawfish, she boiled them just like these. They absolutely loved it.
That’s an amazing story and a great improvisation on her part! We love to see people teaching others to eat and enjoy foods that they’re missing out on
The American Signal Crawfish is the invasive species. The British crawfish is protected.
Sounds like a business opportunity?!? "Mississippi Style Craw Boil" or something like that. Invasive species will be well reduced after that, I reckon
That's literally my dream!!!!!
@@geekofstealsome or a lot of places do not allow an invasive species to be fed to people. Like I've googled Oregon crawfish because I know they have way more types of crawfish. But since they are invasive Oregon does not allow the sell of them at restaurants
People like Debbie are so important. They can be the difference between a good restaurant experience and one of the best meals of your life.
100 percent agree
i felt at home listening to her and i'm not even from the south let alone the USA itself
I'm Cajun, and I love Debbie!
Damn I worked here in high school with Debbie and that was 10 years ago😂 She’s a pro
Debbie is a historian and a server, she is an ambassador to Louisiana.
Debbie is an incredible host. Let's be honest, she's probably off shift and she's here having a good time with the customers. I can't express how important people like her are to the experience.
Lol buddy no server is sticking around after their shift to show somebody how to eat a boil. Servers are not paid enough for that. She's a great host, but she 100% on the clock.
Debbie probably owns the place boys. Debbie doesn't have a shift, this is Debbie's home.
@@GlitterBullif the tip is worth it and/or they’re buying my drinks later, I would 100% hang around good people
Louisiana hands down has the greatest regional cuisine in the US. Glad you got to experience it!
It’s the most unique for sure. I’m from Houston and I’m happy we’re able to get a little bit of that here too. People might find it interesting that Vietnamese crawfish in Houston is considered better and more popular than the pure Cajun spots. Vietnamese people also have major French influence.
@sprednxtnd I agree!
@@chrisherber1635 I mean not to mention Houston's crawfish imo only being slightly worse than Louisiana... Houston also has some of the most mouth watering BBQ in the USA...so I feel like Houston gotta go above Louisiana in the food tear list
@@cozmicking7275Agreed. Houston has the best of both worlds!
I think we can all agree as patriots that no matter where in the country we are from, Cajun anything and indeed Texas BBQ are good solid first choices when foreigners start trashing our cuisine, or lack of it.
I'm really glad this woman (DEBBIE) kept coming back. She helps them more than I think they realize and her reactions to them also are funny. Not to mention she is teaching people all over the world what to do in New Orleans when eating the local seafood.
That's what is called Southern hospitality.
She’s a legend, great post.
Yes- YAY Debbie!
A real southern woman mothers everyone. Haha
So funny watching people witness southern hospitality 😂😭❤️ but never forget- it’s hospitality. You never know what a southern person is feeling til u push it then it’s “bless your heart -_-“
Crawfish boils are such a communal experience, so I strangely enjoyed the last hyperlapse. You just get into a rhythm, and you don't even think about what you're doing, you're just talking to your family and friends, working your way through the pile of seafood.
Exactly ⚜️
Same happens when eating crabs at a crabfeast here in Maryland.
EXACTLY! I went to visit my friend down there and had 135lbs of crawfish going in our boil.. was an amazing experience. Nothing like it.
@@slomo1716 except the flavor's missing.
Graduation parties, engagement parties, birthdays, anniversaries, Saturday barbecue, heck even a funeral!
When in doubt, have a crawfish boil
Louisiana has a very unique culinary tradition
Nice post
Good
NICE
We absolutely do!
We have a blending of several cultures here so there are a lot of different influences. I grew up and still live in south central Louisiana which is where the original Acadians aka Cajuns settled. The food will taste different in different parts of the state.
I used to work with Debbie! She's definitely the soul of that restaurant and Salvo's has some fantastic boiled seafood. Anyone visiting NOLA needs to get genuine boiled seafood outside of the French Quarter at local restaurants to get the real experience.
The best crawfish boil experience is in somebody’s backyard back in the swamp! That’ll be the most authentic.
Being from New Orleans, I take our local cuisine for granted. I enjoy watching people discover the joy of our local food. It reminds me how blessed I am to live in such a great city.
I’m convinced Ollie was from Louisiana from his past life:
-Had a sense of humor with the soft shell crab
-Caught on how to shell a crawfish
-Would consistently suck the crawfish head
-Compare crawfish to addicting flaming Cheetos
-The face trying the crab juice, which I don’t think Ollie has ever lit up like that for any reaction lol 😆
-Experimenting to see if sucking the lobster head will be good
-Found put it wasn’t
-Kept eating more crawfish
He’s so funny!! Hilarious
In Maryland they spring softshell on outsiders on a sandwich with its face looking at you. As a guy from east Texas I had seen this before.
Ollie is fantastic representation of southern foods. Haha, He tries it and loves it. What more can we ask for. lol
He's a good guy. And Josh keeps it all moving forward with positivity ! ..... great channel.
Lol😂
As a Louisiana girl, born and raised. I can confirm everything about the amount crawfish you eat in one sitting is correct.
Most definitely. I know i can eat a good 12 lbs of crawfish by myself 😂
All depends…. We lived in Memphis and it was 1-2 lbs per person there. Back home definitely 3-5
I can eat a good 15 lbs in one sitting easily.
@@jacobtani9785 it takes 7 lbs field run to get 1 lb tail meat….. that’s a lot of protein Jacob…
I can eat about 10 pounds. It depends on how good it is, how well it was cooked, and how many I can eat before I get tired of peeling them.
Debbie is the perfect example of southern hospitality!
Yea she is!
I love that this channel is basically the British rediscovering spices 😂
But in all seriousness, I love this channel!
Fought a war over spices and they still have no clue!
Good one
Watching your videos makes me feel better about my country. You have come across a number of service workers that go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and help you enjoy your dining experience in their restaurant. Not only are you show casing the diversity of American cuisine for your worldwide audience, but you're also shining a light on who Americans are as a people. I hope you tipped Debbie well---she was awesome!
I was invited to a backyard crawfish boil in New Orleans many years ago, during my only visit to the city, and it remains the single greatest meal of my life. I ruined a shirt. It was like I survived a crawfish explosion.
Survived? No honey, that shirt died happy, and you have a fantastic memory.
@@codename495 I have dedicated all subsequent meals to that shirt, to honor its sacrifice.
If you finish a crawfish boil with a clean shirt, you did it wrong.
be sure you dont throw it away. When its old and ready for the garbage, frame it and pass it down your family line.
>Ruined a shirt
That just means you really enjoyed the food.
"We have the entire cast of the Little Mermaid on the plate." 😂😂
Besides the hilarious commentary... I figured out why I love watching these 2 eat so much.
They show immense pleasure when it is good... and have no fear to "eat things wrong."
Yes, they are respectful to their hosts and open-minded about different foods, and while they'll say if they really don't like something, they are trying to appreciate each new experience. It's a lot more fun to watch someone enjoying new things than to watch them making snarky comments and hating on it.
The entire case of the Little Mermaid… except Ariel of course 😂😂😂
Debbie is an example of how kind and welcoming people are in the southern part of the United States. It’s true southern hospitality. Cheers!
Lol depends where you are
@@tonjacatchings6786Exactly!! I live in the Carolinas! And please!! Southern people are NICE in the outside!! 😂😂😂
Good luck with the rest!! SMH!
Unless you're Black, LGBT, or not a Donald Trump lover.
@@BlackberryTitties .. Yeah, Debbie started with a bit o'snark, like we mostly all would with the cameras trained. I won't presume deeper bias as she seemed to warm up to the production.
But damn... they got a flavor treat this West coaster hasn't run across.
Now take it back across the pond!
its a 50/50 chance i think lmao. either theyre super nice super accepting of anyone no matter race or sexuality, then there are the full on redneck racists.
Ollie has a real skill for describing things.
I’ve been waiting for them to come to Louisiana to try our food. Also, I wouldn’t say it’s just the French Cajuns but our food is so good because of all the different cultures who played a big part in our little culinary world.
Ollie started to looking like a he had been eating this way for years by the end. I think he was truly enjoying himself more than any other video I have seen.
That’s Cajun creole food for you, it’s absolutely delicious 🤤!!
I noticed that, too
I always appreciate how open and happy they are to have things explained and how they engage with the staff anywhere they go. That all just looked so good!
Yes, these two are good ambassadors for England 🙂
If Ollie tries to make this back in the UK, we need a video of his process PLEASE. XD
I am a born and raised Californian. We have an overabundance of crawfish in our waterways. There is a festival in Isleton California called the crawdad festival. It is huge. Yet they crawfish in Louisiana are cooked way better. I didn't understand until a Cajun friend took me there. Big eye opener. I learned so much about Cajun food just so I could make it myself. I make a fantastic Jambalaya thanks to him.
With food, Cajuns think if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.
I love seeing the cameraman's and other crew members' reactions, too. So glad you share with them. ❤
Now imagine cooking about 100 pounds of crawfish at your house with all of your family and friends. It's one of the best social events ever. Dang, now I want some, but it's going to be a few more months before they're in season again. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Sounds gross. I would rather have a 100 lb of snow crab legs
One of my favorite meals I had in New Orleans was in someone’s backyard, eating a bunch of crawfish that had been dumped on a paper covered table.
@@jeffhampton2767 you wouldn't be invited anyway. Maybe that's your problem
@@sarawilliams3190 I wouldn't want to go especially if somebody like you was there. 🤔😆😆😆
@@jeffhampton2767tbh most people wouldn’t invite someone like you. I’m assuming Not even a lot of your family tbh If they had the choice.
Glad you're liking our food! When y'all get home, make sure to tell your fellow Brits that Louisiana has the solution to your little invasive crawfish issue.
Hopefully someone in that shop clued them into getting some crawfish seasoning to take home with them.
tell them to give us all their crawfish since we're still dealing with major shrimp and crawfish issues still 😭🙏🏻
Debbie is like that teacher you thought would be scary but is actually cool.
Seeing the blue crab's soup made me want to have that with rice.
I work at the restaurant with her! One of the managers mentioned your comment actually!! I definitely thought the same thing when I first started last year 😂
ok
I love you two. When I was in Louisiana for two weeks, I gained 15 lbs and it took me 6 months to get it off. Louisiana Boudin…I ate that daily. Omg the best.
I live in south Louisiana, the struggle is real. 😅
I was stationed at the military base which is right behind Salvo’s. I can’t tell you how many pounds of crawfish I have consumed there. Their boil spice blend is the absolute best in southern Louisiana. Amazing place!
I was too lol now I live in Gretna
I'm always very amused by Brits being like "wow seasoning makes food tastes good" 🤣
They dont season food as it seems ..😂
It's ironic that Europe colonized so many lands for their spices and yet didn't really use them.😂
@@saltwatertaffy7020money was more important
Those peppery crawdads look like the most yummy thing ever I would spend an hour listening to a book on headphones just picking them apart. When they talk about the shot of peppery seasoning I'm like damn, that sounds so good oh my lord.
Uk food seems like pirate food
I can’t believe that I’m watching Josh and Ollie eat at Salvos of all places. A five minute walk from my childhood house. It’s a surreal experience that I know exactly what their experience is. I’ll be watching this video over and over for a long time.
Same! I live right around the corner from Salvo's! I wish I had known they where going to be there. I would have loved to meet them. They just seem like such nice fun guys you could hang out with and just talk forever.
Very Cool !
As a Southeast Texan I’m very familiar with crawfish boils. My husband was a fantastic cook and we hosted many boils under our carport during crawfish season. He’s passed away but those are wonder family memories. My Son in law now hosts them for our family and friends. A great tradition to carry on. 👍🏻😋🧓🏻🇺🇸Texas.
Im from Louisiana but I do love Texas! I go there often. I feel like y'all are our big brother.
And Florida is our wacky uncle.
My closest bar here in Houston has a crawfish boil about 18 Saturdays a year. They are hosted by a motorcycle club that raises funds for cancer research.
What part?
It might as well be Louisiana
I understand them. I am from Australian married to Texan. We always have crawfish boils and Texas BBQ. It really puts Aussie BBQ to shame with their other video agree about Brit/Aussie fish and chips plain compaired to Louisiana Fish and shrimp is amazing 😄. So is fried turkey, different sides, pecan and pumpkin pie don't see where I am from. So definetly a different experience. Do miss my meat pies, sausage rolls, pasties, large easter eggs with actually m&ms filled in it and kitchener buns (donut with whip cream and jam made in South Australia).
My wife and I planned our anniversary trip (currently on it) to New Orleans and have been following your food stops. Salvo’s is hands-down the best place we have been to. This place more than lives up to your review. Fantastic food and wonderful atmosphere. Debbie was there and Rory was our server. He was great. Highly recommend the King Cake bread pudding. Thanks guys!
This Cajun just served chargrilled oysters at my daughter’s wedding in New Orleans. This video made me happy.
My dad was from New Orleans. He passed away very suddenly in August 2022 after a very brief battle with pancreatic cancer. I think about him all the time, but today, because of your wonderful video, I smiled a lot more when thinking of him, and all the great times we had in New Orleans together. The food down there is unmatched.
Thanks for making me smile! Hope you all enjoy yourselves down there and can’t wait to see what you try next!
Sorry to hear about your dad.. I lost my mom to Cancer in 2021 and I completely relate with coming across something that reminds you about the good times vs the cancer battle. Keep strong. Tons of hugs ❤
I lost my mum to pancreatic cancer yesterday. 💔😞 I'm sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry to hear about your dad. May he forever rest in peace. Cancer diagnoses are really hard and tough. My grandmother had breast cancer twice in her life.
Louisiana has a very unique culinary tradition. So many cultures came together to create the identity down there.
wondering if it connects to Sweden since they eat a lot of cray fish in august and september
Debbie was so sweet to watch over them and make sure they ate their food the local way. She's awesome. I'm glad Josh and Ollie and crew enjoyed it so much! Laissez les bon temps rouler!
Nicest people I've ever met were from the bayou. They showed this NYer so much love and fed me everywhere I went. Very happy you got to experience sometime southern hospitality ❤
Hate to break it but we see city folk like babies and we want to overload you with Cajun hospitality. Your almost from another world to us if you think about it
As a cajun myself i am proud of seeing some brits eating crawfish so well cultured
Growing up in New Orleans I never realized how much effort and uniqueness goes into the food we cook. Glad y’all are enjoying our culture while you’re down here!
Debbie was a sweetheart. Ollie is precious 💖 I love Josh and Ollie 😂
I love Debs attention and she seemed so pleasant and that's the type of server that makes an experience so memorable. I loved her smile whenever she didn't think she was on camera.
Debbie was so kind and I love the guys are willing to try different foods and give honest opinions. I love watching them they are so adorable 😍
As someone born, raised and living in Louisiana I love this. I love seeing people enjoy and acknowledge our good. We know our seasonings, for many of us our food is how we show our love.
As a New Orleanian, I’m def proud of the places y’all have tried so far! Even more happy that y’all are thoroughly enjoying our cuisine & flavors! Who dat?!🖤⚜️
I really enjoyed visiting New Orleans. Fun times, great food and fascinating history!
Would you recommend the best month visit New Orleans for the seafood? Thank you!
@@jesicasta.barbara8291 Crawfish season starts in January, when they are smaller -- they're best between March and May. By June the crawfish can be too big and hard to eat easily, and they're mostly gone by July. If you come in mid-April you can attend the French Quarter Festival, and late April/early May you could attend the Jazz and Heritage Festival along with your seafood.
YOU GUYS WERE IN MY HOMETOWN!!! I grew up just two streets away from where this is! How surreal… I know they would treat anyone who comes through with kindness and warmth. That’s true southern hospitality for you ❤️
whats tbe best month to visit for this feast
@@castlequay2327 Best time for some really good crawfish is late February to April. Just when Mardi Gras is starting and up until after Easter.
Belle Chasse proud! Came to the comments to see if anyone else from BC was lurking to represent
@@jamesfrazier4005 Haha omg yes I have been watching these guys for so long so seeing them here of all places was pretty amazing. Fellow Belle Chasse alumni class of 2013 go Cards!
Class of 2017!
Ollie is living proof that intrusive thoughts PROPERLY CHANNELED can be a good thing.
This is so accurate.
These would be impulsive thoughts. Intrusive thoughts are more like thoughts of harming your loved ones or similar horrifying thoughts. The difference matters because people downplay what intrusive thoughts means and it means it isn’t taken seriously.
Ollie is mainly the reason why I watch this channel. His sense of humor just comes out naturally.
@@OurLordandSaviorSigmarmaybe not so much with the "Dad joke" ones.
Still not an intrusive thought... Still an impulsive thought... Someday y'all are gonna get it.
Watching this just makes me so homesick. I don't always miss Louisiana, born and raised there and all, and it's got it's issues...but I get homesick during crawfish season. Ugh everything looked so GOOD there.
I always enjoy the way that Josh and Ollie include the crew in their eating. And I love the idea that food does not go to waste. Though I am a native Texan, my mother‘s family is from Louisiana and what the guys are eating on here is absolutely, what I ate growing up.
I love watching Europeans explore and enjoy southern food🎉❤
I love watching Europeans try *all* American food. 😍
I love watching Americans eat European food.
Yep, but I fell that at least for Italian and American food they are very interlinked since a lot of the dishes that people associate with italy were actually made by Italian americans in the north east and Midwest. @@ElviraCondomine
@@ElviraCondomine My parents are Italian (as in, the county, not Italian-American, which I definitely never get annoyed at having to explain every time I say it lol) and it's always a delight seeing Americans who grew up on Italian-American food try the real thing. People don't realize how much food changes when it goes to a new country, any new country. Korean-Chinese isn't really much like Chinese or, frankly, like American-Chinese. And we simply won't speak about Korean-Italian food lol... So yeah, it's always a blast seeing them try something real.
Except Brits are not really European 😂
This is directed to Ollie wanting to try a boil in the UK. Bring back a tub of zatarians crawfish, shrimp and crab boil with you. Don’t skimp, get the 4.5lb tub.
And honestly the simplest instruction to give you is to check out the Cajun Ninja’s video on boiling (and basically anything he cooks)
So glad you guys made it over here, I knew you would enjoy it :)
Bump
I prefer Louisiana crawfish boil myself. More cloves and balanced spices.
@@UhapiBeauty see and I really don’t like the presence of cloves in my crawfish, so he should just get both! :) (for science 🙌🏼)
Born in Mamou, LA. Now living in Lake Charles. I am in accordance with both sides of these comments. I prefer Louisiana boil, but I have never not enjoyed a Zatarain's boil. Either/Or.
Cajun Ninja is the most representative of the food that I grew up on.
@@sandybritches Also, if you throw corn in there, use frozen corn and use that at the very end. It cooks the corn while cooling all of it down a tad. And mushrooms are excellent in there. I like having so many sides in there, you can have a separate meal from it alone. And if you throw hot dogs in there, use the cheap ones, it makes them so much better than normal.
Josh and Ollie are always so entertaining and gracious.
I love that Ollie always says what Josh is thinking but isn't brave enough to say. haha
I’m so happy you guys tried a seafood boil type. I was waiting for this. When you get a real seafood boil it’s quite mind blowing!!
I love how she made sure you guys knew what to do and helps show you. Southern hospitality is surreal
Ollie gets all his weird thoughts out on the shows, I bet his wife feels better in public with him!
Ollie is right in my ballpark!!
Honestly he is like that weird friend that you are actually pretty happy to hang around with and don't get annoyed of.
@@grimbaldyIt’s because you can tell some people just try way to hard, which makes them annoying. With people like Ollie, who is literally just being his genuine self, it is great haha.
@@IsThatHuncho exactly some people just try to be weird just to be different. But Ollie just has a different thinking process compared to others and with no filter 😂. It's always the creative geniuses like him that are a bit weird.
Ollie might have set a record in this video for the number of hilariously strange metaphors and comparisons he came up with…
Debbie made this segment, what an amazing lady! The food is incredible, and the guys really enjoyed it. Very nice representation of regional southern seafood.
So glad you got to experience a taste of Louisiana along with Debbie’s fantastic Southern hospitality! She is a gem for sure!
Great video!
Every crawfish boil I’ve been to has been in somebody’s backyard. Love them.
I loved Debbie. She was so sassy and funny. She just put a smile in my face.
Great video guys and you can do this in the UK if you can get your hands on the seafood. I'll give you a good tip... go to a US grocery store while you are there and buy something in the spice section called "Zatarains Seafood Boil". You can get it in a solid form or liquid..I prefer liquid. Get some water boiling with salt, add this Zatarains generously then add the seafood (shrimp, crawfish) to the boiling water and turn off the heat immediately. Let the seafood sit in the hot water for 15 minutes or longer if you want it really spicy, remove from water, cool a bit then enjoy! You can also add corn and potatoes to the boil but let them boil for 10 minutes or so before adding the seafood and turning off the heat. You will love it! I'm an American living in Europe and I bring this Zatarains back from the US when I travel and amaze my EU friends with the results.
I hope they read this so they can know how to do it. I want to see a sign saying they've read your instructions and product information.
And if you can't get Zatarain's, Old Bay will do. Maybe add a little cayenne to the Old Bay.
@@Bacopa68 - Serious Old Bay fan here. I was thrilled to find it in one of the local stores when we were living in Mexico! I consider this a kitchen staple. (Great on chicken, too)
Crawfish boils has to be shared among friends & family. That last time lapse part of the video is exactly how it’s done. Everyone enjoying the feast together. Relaxing. Telling stories. Just having fun.
Salvos is great tho and they have big communal tables. We’ve been going for years. Can’t always get it together for a house boil but I find I want crawfish at least once a week in season.
Debbie reminds me of my family. I love showing people Maryland crabs and how to eat them. If people come from out of town, I try to always order crabs!
I wish y'all had an extras section where it was the part at the end with the crew trying everything and enjoying it.
You can get great crawfish at a restaurant like that, but a full blown crawfish boil in someone's backyard is a whole other experience and worth coming to town in the spring for.
It's so touched to see wherever Jolly crew go they always meet the fun, softest, lovely, and kind people. I'm so happy to see the interaction in every video
So proud of Ollie with the oysters. He doesn't hesitate as much anymore with trying them.
Always remember this dining experience when people in Europe tell you, "American cuisine is hot dogs and hamburgers".
What's that 😂
Just watching them enjoy our vast collection of good food is so satisfying. Makes me so happy
Ollie is truly a hands-on eater and was thoroughly enjoying the whole process. Thank you jolly.
The thing you guys did perfect about this was having a group of people together, sharing, joking, laughing and chowing down on food. I know that's the basis for a lot of your content, but it's also the basis for a crawfish boil. It's just not complete without sucking juices out of things, getting spices in the wrong places, and joking about it all with friends.
Debbie for the win!! That's Louisiana hospitality at its best right there ❤
I liked Debbie watching from afar, listening and then chuckling to herself
Love seeing my favorite restaurant finally get noticed. Some of the best staff you can ask for and the food really is amazing.
As a Texas girl, I’m used to potatoes and corn cooked with our crawfish. Yum! And when working for that little bit of crawfish meat, eating is messy as heck! No gloves. You don't notice though because you get in a routine and talk to everyone around the table.
I love crab though & this spread is amazing! La food & seasoning are beyond! And Debbie is a sweetheart for showing them how to eat all that seafood.
9:28 he had some corn.
Also add mushrooms, brussels sprouts, sausage, and baby carrots. I can't wait till crawfish season! LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULER
My husband and I worked for LSU for four years, and I fell in love with south Louisiana. I cried when my husband accepted a job at the U of Maryland, and learned to cook the legendary Louisiana Cajun food. I still missed the wonderful people, but was able to take, and share, some of the good things about Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Now we're back in south Texas, but I'll always have a Mardi Gras heart. Glad to see y'all passing such a good time.
Geaux Tigers!
@@jeffsevy6812 Preach! I graduated from UT Austin, but my heart belongs to the Tigers.
IM FROM MD AYEEEE i wanna go to umd!!!!!
Go Terps!
If you write a book about this and call it A Mardi Gras Heart, it may become a best seller
Born and raised in Louisiana, moved to Texas in 1988. We host boils at our house, otherwise Ive not found a true boil here. Some try, and they are okay (I mean, its crawfish...I'll never turn them down!!), but I do love a REAL boil!
Typically at a boil I eill eat 7-10 lbs. on my own. I know they say 3-5 lbs per person, but any self-respecting crawfish lover will eat double that any day! Haha!!! Glad y'all enjoyed that!!
Texas has real boils are you in east Texas?? I've lived in Louisiana and texas
Yeah that's what I'm saying. We boil all the time down here in Houston and it is *delicious.*
Respect! The best I've done is 5 lbs but I've got a trip to New Orleans in April, you got me fired up now. 7 sounds doable.
7-10 pounds you sir are a crawfish eating machine.
Sorry, it's not just Louisiana, though the cuisine there is awesome. But crawfish are a delicacy across the Gulf of Mexico, from east Texas to Pensacola, FL.
Two quick stories: In high school, the junior and senior classes have a formal dance with gents in dinner jackets and ladies in nice, expensive dresses. I didn't date my senior year (my crush was involved with an underclassman), so I asked our foreign exchange student, as a good, sweet friend - from Leeds, England - to prom. We were politically opposed but loved to banter in Oxford debate (did I mention I went to a parochial school?).
Her host family had an extremely nice, old house in one of our town's historic areas. I went to pick her up and discovered that our prom happened to fall on this family's historic annual crawfish boil. They even printed T-shirts for party-goers. On the back of that year's shirt was a big crawfish head, with (in small font) the event and (in larger font, circling the head) "You Want Me to Suck What?" Classic - could have been straight from the Quarter! My date was pretty cool with everything until her (drunk) host "father" came up to her room. I was pinning a corsage onto her, and he asked, "Did you bring flowers??" Wife: "Yes, Honey - the corsage!" Husband: "Did you bring a condom??" Wife: [QUICKLY ESCORTS PISSED-DRUNK HUSBAND OUT OF THE ROOM]. Awesome!
I went to college in Mobile, AL, and had a fraternity brother from Harahan, LA (outside NO) - Irish-Cajun. We had separate dues for our big, weeklong party - but for him, instead of paying dues, his parents would come over with 150lbs. of crawfish (live in 50lb bags, must be live), pots, corn, new potatoes, the whole thing (and kegs). Then one night of the party we would have a massive boil - probably the best night of the fest. Except for the pledges - they had to clean up the backyard the next morning, and by that time the smell had... matured. But all of us were pledges, all of us endured the retching smell in 80-degree heat, with a hangover.
The wholesomeness is impeccable here. Good vibes and good times.
Can’t get enough of watching your enthusiasm with American cuisine. Keep up the great content you two!
I love that she says "suck" (like a straw) and Josh immediately tries to turn into a vacuum. 🤣
After seeing these two for some time now I'm so glad the combination of their grace and charm gets combined with random locations in the US. We get to experience them while they get to experience us/our restaurants.
The funny thing for me is there are tens of thousands of remarkable restaurants in the US so they'll never run out of places to go.
Love this! Living in East Texas we have lots of crawfish boils when they're in season.
I haven't done it in years, but i used to go with my family to catch crawfish every couple years or so. We'd go out in flat-bottom boats and use wire mesh scoops on poles to just scoop them into the boat. One year, back in the mid-90s, my uncle got a bit overzealous (and drunk) and filled the boat so much that it swamped, almost sinking entirely. Even further back, crawfish was, according to my mom, my first solid food as a baby.
So yeah, glad you guys got a chance to eat some. It's basically a yearly tradition to go get at least a few pounds of crawfish during their season.
I love Josh's optimism and excitement paired with Ollie's absurd and slightly cynical observations...his soft shelled crab comments were hilarious!
I hope Juno didn’t hear her father saying: “We have the entire cast of the Little Mermaid in front of us.” 😂😂😂
Ollie is so incredibly witty.❤Loved this episode.
As an American I love your videos. Often we take for granted what is around us and it is great to see your infectious energy as you try new things
Louisianan Here!! So glad y’all could come for a visit and experience our culture!❤️
Debbie giving a great example of Louisiana hospitality. If any of yall have never been to Louisiana, ya should come for a visit but be warned, you may not wanna leave 🤣.
Ollie literally represents all of our shower thoughts and acts on it for the adrenaline kick lmao
Well, don't forget that it was Josh who was advising Ollie to not get caught up sucking on the wrong head.
Loved seeing Debbie in the back reacting and laughing at their reactions and comments 😂
I am 55 and have never seen outside of California as an adult. I live here in the USA and my bucket list is to visit the country and try local food. The USA has so much culture to offer and I've missed out all my life. I am SO envious of Josh and Olly who have been lucky enough to make my bucket list an actual job ! That's not even working ! I love it.
Salvo's is legit a must go for anyone visiting! My favorite place!! Yall really went out of the tourist area into the local spot!
Would love to see a video of you guys doing this on your own at home!
Seafood boils aren’t limited to what you saw there. We do low country boils with shrimp, scallops, potato, corn, and sausage. It’s the best!
I can’t believe how fun it is watching two guys eat.
sucking the head is so integral to eating crawfish 😂 i’m so glad ms. debbie educated you guys on how to eat a seafood boil- learning how to eat another culture’s food is just as important as trying it in the first place ❤️
Sucking the head out always gags me so I don’t do it anymore.🤮
OMG WELCOME TO LOUISIANA I’m so happy that you guys are here I’ve been watching you guys for so long!
One of the best meals of my life. Buddy of mine and I on a cross country motorcycle trip. Stopped at a bar on the coast in Biloxi. Asked the bartender best place to get crawfish. He sends us inland about 15-20 miles to a strip mall with a convenient store, laundry and auto shop. The convenient store had a boil on out back with a line 15-20 people. We lined up and when our turn we asked how many pounds for two hungry guys? The gal behind the counter takes a cardboard six pack tray designed to hold 24 beers and lines it with a clean garbage bag. She then scoops 10 lbs of huge bright red mud bugs into the bag. Eyes wide we pull up ‘Al fresco’ sitting on the sidewalk by our bikes and dig into the delicious boil with some tall boy Abita’s and go to town. Absolutely amazing and memorable meal!
