Sorry, after watching this episode, I really felt that Belgian burgers and fries are a hundred times better than McDonald's! Those clay pots of mustard sauce are so beautiful, like works of art! It would be fun to pair those fruit gummies with Belgian beer! The buildings in Belgium are really strong and beautiful. Thanks for their efforts in preserving historical relics and buildings! If the church is the place where God appears most often, then he must be looking for Belgian vodka! Thank you so much for sharing! 👍🥰🙏
It’s so funny to see your own country ( Belgium ) through the lens of an American… but David, really got most of the facts straight here during this belgian tour. Ok somethings got a bit lost in translation but really good job! Especially compared with other Americans making this content here in Belgium
loved this! i'm from belgium and moved to ghent last year bc i fell in love with it. it's such a beautiful city! so funny seeing you try our food and your reaction to it!
needs more likes and engagement so i'm here for it. Its quite honestly the best video ive seen so far about belgium from an american perspective, my best friend is from georgia and he's already visited once and coming over again soon in the winter and this is a good guide man!!!!! well done you!!!
I am loving these longer vids David 👍🏾 Thanks so much bro. I have been to Brussels in Beligium but no other cities. Your defo showing other great cities it looks like. Being from the UK I defo need to go check out more european cities for sure. Keep up the great work David 👊🏾
If I remember correctly, Tierentyn turned down an offer to become a global mustard brand after Dijon mustard became global, "if they want Tierentyn, they need to come get it in our shop"
I was just here last week on business. A truly amazing city. Great video highlighting the city, but this just scratches the surface. So many other great places to discover!
Absolutely loving this series on Belgium! Your style and the engaging conversations are so refreshing. But, pindasaus on fries? Oh, come on now, that's bordering on treachery for us Belgians! 😜 Besides our iconic waffles (which we rarely indulge in), chocolates, and fries, we're also big on sandwiches. Definitely give the 'martino' a shot next time - a popular sandwich with raw minced beef.
The uniquely tiled floor and menu on the mirror at Frites Atelier were both so beautiful and unique!! I could watch those fresh crunchy fries being tossed from that bowl all afternoon 😆😍
oooh the fries from the "frites atelier" looks amazing! I'm from the french part of Belgium and Ghent is my favorite city in my country. So beautiful and the people are so nice (Bruges? Lol, there's no comparison) This is the true Venice of the north. There is life, kindness, culture. Love ya from Namen!
Awesome architecture ...the fortress...buildings...looks like out of a History book.....boat rides on the canals,,,and of course fries a must have in Belgium....As always another interesting video...Thanks David...be safe...Peaceand Blessings.
You do the cities right! The amount of respect and autheniticity you capture in your videos is trucly exceptional! I am beligian and yeah, not a google-fed experience, ,but really a open, explositary, and fun movie! Well done!
Awesome ……a whole show just on Ghent…….we were there on a tour from Brussels……our time there was so short (1 hour) wish we could’ve spent 3 days there.
Easy to get drunk with those shots of Jenever and those strong beers. Great for a summer day but dangerous. 🤣 From Antwerp myself. Gent is a great city!
to be fair every fryery serves fries with flemish beef beer stew as a topping, now ghent is also famous for the rombaut and julien which are that + meat, onions, secundary sauses,...
Duuuuude, what a great vid! It's nice to see you've done your research, hitting some of the sweet spots in Gent. As a local, i buy mustard @ Tierenteyn, and pies @ Julie's house (or Tartes de Francoise - lets keep it fair). Even learned a thing or two about my own city! Glad you liked it here, so do I :).
I really love Belgium! Love the architecture. Old days had the best building houses ever in my opinion. Beautiful. That fortress is awesome what a site.. Just imagine back then. The food is amazing Love fries and the toppings are amazing. Would love to try . Burger looked good to.. Now mustard I'm a mustard person to ever since kid. I used to eat spoonful by itself lol.. Love Love .And all the different mustards to try oh yes love it. Those candies look good to would have to try some.. Now the cake pie yummy gosh.. lol. Love the river ride. Get to see all the buildings and love the buildings Nice relax bit history :) i could use a shot or two or 3 so np i will drink them for you :D you can stick with the cow ? ha-ha The brewery's love them have so many lovely kinds.. Love Dark and Pale ales :) Nice the distillery is amazing love it. That safe is wow ! beautiful. Drinks inside look great I want to try them to. yeah go ahead keep drinking get loose lolz David.. but pass me some shots to!! Food at the end of the day great. Cant go wrong with mussels and soup :) Have a great Friday and weekend much love to DBH!! ♥♥♥
Honestly its such a beautiful country and to be honest I only regret I couldn't get backroom access to the mustard making process. I definitely think you'd have enjoyed the River Ride, and of course the architecture is so incredible. Really appreciative of the comment and hoping you are doing really well too.
@@Davidsbeenhere I actually was hoping you were going to go down there as well and then video shifted away from it.. I was like aw man lol. That would have been nice to see but still great store and lovely mustard. The town is amazing and glad you got to experience it and bring to all of us. Always welcome and I'm doing well as can be. All I can do is try. Have great weekend and to everyone at DBH love always ♥
Hey David, nice that you likte our City, next time go to a frituur mouche cheaper frietatelier have there different concepts . And original stu saus (stoverijsaus ore with meat) one the french fry much glacier ask for fresh onion and fryd onion and herbs for sate and pili pili saus ore samurai sause on the top little bit 🔥 . My favorite 😍
As someone from gent im just saying, if you're ever in gent and want the "real local experience", dont visit frites atelier, its an overpriced, overhyped and overrated shop, if you want real fries visit a real "frituur" (fry shop), not a cashgrab place.
I'm glad this place was not open when I stopped there based on this video, however I followed their White Lion recommendation and food wad surprisingly good for a touristy area restaurant.
I was just thinking the same thing, how does someone think about eating fries in a Dutch chain, when there are so many good, authentic chip shops in Ghent. I stopped watching, this feels so terribly underprepared, it's shameful.
@@jannatulmawa4092 honestly, 90% of fries shops (or frituurs in dutch) are good, they’re very common so most people just go to the one thats closest to their home, if you dont like that one just keep on trying until you find a good one, but personally i like “frituur de papegaai”
"Proost" is more common in the Netherlands, "Santé" or "Op uw gezondheid" are more common in Belgium when saying cheers. Pity you didn't check out the big mulitcultural food scene in Ghent.
to be fair they use the belgian method and worked with michelin star cheffs to device the menu, they added saté sauce i guess but they clearly stick to the Belgian methods
Ooh I'm so disappointed that you went to Frites Atelier! This is indeed a chain of The Netherlands. Why don't you try Belgian stuff? This is something for tourists. Hope you liked your free meal. It is very expensive for what it is. We Belgians don't eat there. ☹️ I stopped watching your video, because you can't stop talking about this. 😢
I'm sorry, but fries in Belgium couldn't be more average.. I live in Ghent and took my family to Atelier Frites and it could not be more disappointing. I only paid 12 euros for fries for the sake of the hype and I understand if you visit Belgium you will also do it.. but let's be honest... there is nothing magical about them... at the end of the day its just fries... very expensive fries..

But it won't pass the customs right?
Thanks for telling the world about our little mustardshop ❤. Was great meeting you!
Its a pleasure and likewise! Wishing you the hugest of success with the shop and blessings.
As a mustard Lover was so nice to see all that mustard!! ♥
Friends and family living abroad, always ask me to send mustard. ☺️
Nothing beats this mustard :D i always have 2 of the biggest pots at home as buffer so i am sure i won't run out.
Watching these video's about Belgium makes me really proud of my country. Love your enthousiasm and positive vibes!

Wow, I've been living in Ghent for 20 years now, and there are still things to discover. I didn't knew about that distilery. 🙂
needs more likes and engagement so i'm here for it. Its quite honestly the best video ive seen so far about belgium from an american perspective, my best friend is from georgia and he's already visited once and coming over again soon in the winter and this is a good guide man!!!!! well done you!!!

I hope you will make a documentary that will contain Bruge,Ghent and Antwerp.Amazing video and country.
Love Ghent , I spent 7 years in Ghent , now i missed those nice days
Awesome architecture ...the fortress...buildings...looks like out of a History book.....boat rides on the canals,,,and of course fries a must have in Belgium....As always another interesting video...Thanks David...be safe...Peaceand Blessings.
Wow, I need to visit Belgium ❤
Showing Frites Atelier, a fake Dutch fries shop, in both Ghent and Antwerp? Come on man! The rest was on point, luckily.
You fell for the tourist trap fries 😄
You do the cities right! The amount of respect and autheniticity you capture in your videos is trucly exceptional! I am beligian and yeah, not a google-fed experience, ,but really a open, explositary, and fun movie! Well done!
Nice to see the city I was born ,but now I live in Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🇹🇩🇹🇩🇨🇦🇨🇦
Heading to Ghent soon, thanks for this..
Haha my man couldn't walk straight at the end love belgium drinking culture
Awesome ……a whole show just on Ghent…….we were there on a tour from Brussels……our time there was so short (1 hour) wish we could’ve spent 3 days there.
Waterzooi means Waterwhatever, like its a mash of things. i'm glad you enjoyed all of this man!!!!!!!
Hi David awsome video and country the food is lovely and that guy hair is gorgeous curly I gat to go there thanks. Have fun David 👍
I am from Ghent 9000 is the best postcode of Belgium i aprove this video nice to see my city on RUclips 👍
Flemish Beef Stew (Dutch (Flemish) - Stoofvlees/French (Walloon) - Carbonnade Flamande).
and traditionally made with a good Belgian beer (and no, I don't mean a pilsner)
I love the beer and drinking episodes. Cool to see other countries alcohol.
😂yep..many thanks for sharing your adventures..much love..one love.. respect.. travel well 😊
Wonderfull
51:13 Ναι, ρε Τάσο! David dipping the bread! YES!!!!

Please put Malaysia in ur trip after U visit Indonesia..we have lots of interesting food too👍.
Venezuelans all over the place♥️ really good video thank you!
Love your video! Can’t wait to see Ghent in Feb. hope it won’t be too cold for the boat ride. Where is your accent from ?(not Miami)
I'm born and raised in Miami LOL. Its a Miami Accent tbh.
@@Davidsbeenhere that’s so cool. It would be nice to travel without my
American accent
Easy to get drunk with those shots of Jenever and those strong beers. Great for a summer day but dangerous. 🤣
From Antwerp myself. Gent is a great city!
The chicken stew reminded me of chicken pot pie soup

You should visit Aalst Carnaval and come join the fun.
i told in the first video to visit antwerp, bruges and ghent well it looks like you got them all :)
Thank you! Yes! I made sure to go to the key spots, but I'd love to visit again too.
@@Davidsbeenhereyes i agree
Hope you are having safe travels Gar Wing Cheung! Thank you.
The pickles is actually the best for the gut ,much better than yoghurt!
always funny to see your own city through the eyes of a stranger
🐐
🔥❤️
@@Davidsbeenherei support you
Wow amazing food and video 🇩🇰😃👍

your reviews are to the point man
Lots of drinking almost no eating Ghent seems like my kind of city for a weekend.😅
lol I ate a lot
You should visit during the annual "Gentse Feesten".
All the places you visited had 4.3+ ratings on google reviews except for the Witte Leeuw which seems to be a tourist trap at only 3.4 ;-)
As someone from gent im just saying, if you're ever in gent and want the "real local experience", dont visit frites atelier, its an overpriced, overhyped and overrated shop, if you want real fries visit a real "frituur" (fry shop), not a cashgrab place.

Suggest me some good but cheap shop. I'm going there as international student next month..

"Proost" is more common in the Netherlands, "Santé" or "Op uw gezondheid" are more common in Belgium when saying cheers. Pity you didn't check out the big mulitcultural food scene in Ghent.
'SCHOL' is another one that's often used in Flanders.
Bro must be buzzin 😂
When did you go? The weather looked warm.
you should really look up the war of the noses. 2 competing carts of the nose candy in a war with each other.
Frites Atelier is very expensive as it's run by star chef Sergio Herman
Even for easly season..those wr tourist mussels aka get ripped.
How do you get those things through the airport?
Muito bom
Top demais 😸😸🙏
😊
You're supposed to put the mussle shells in each other so they can fit in the can and it's easier to clean up!
Not really "supposed" to do this. I've never done this. Usually, they clear the bowl with the empty ones now and then so there is more room.
@@MarieCindy they wouldn't need to do that of you put them into each other though
What is the name of the guy on the boat
Belgian fries can't be compared with dutch ones. We had the first ones a few centuries before the Netherlands !!!
maaan you fell into a tourist trap😂
So you went to frites atelier Amsterdam… in the heart of the land from frites is like going to eat fries in McDonald’s… man why??
to be fair they use the belgian method and worked with michelin star cheffs to device the menu, they added saté sauce i guess but they clearly stick to the Belgian methods
Fortunately, after drinking all that beer, you did not enter the Cathedral...
ANTWERP - LEUVEN
Nasty Batty Alice caught you bro!!!😅
Belgian guy here. Word of advice: if you stay here to long you WILL get fat. ;p
this first shop doesnt represent any belgium frituur.
Dutch frijt chain that one
And you go to witte leeuw that is really bad to eat
Tourists be tourists and visiting all the tourist traps there are in a city... such a shame.
same, as someone from gent ive never been to any of the spots he showed, he just stayed at the same spot for the whole video basically :/
it is a dutch frie store not belgian
there are better places or ones where you go to eat
Waterzooi with chicken is the version typical for Ghent.
Ooh I'm so disappointed that you went to Frites Atelier! This is indeed a chain of The Netherlands. Why don't you try Belgian stuff? This is something for tourists. Hope you liked your free meal.

That girl her eyes at the candy bracket when you said i'm from Miami. 😄😄😄
Amsterdam is still the most beautiful city. ❌❌❌
Le problème c’est qu’elle est peuplée de hollandais 😂
smurfentaart eens eten beste
Frites atelier is not Belgian and is far from a good example for a Belgian "Frituur"
David is hot
Hope your pancreas will survive Flanders.
fries with poop topping ??
Americans: "I see brown I say poop uhuhu"
48:08 almost got shanked there by some nice non-Belgian
Dude....
I'm sorry, but fries in Belgium couldn't be more average.. I live in Ghent and took my family to Atelier Frites and it could not be more disappointing. I only paid 12 euros for fries for the sake of the hype and I understand if you visit Belgium you will also do it.. but let's be honest... there is nothing magical about them... at the end of the day its just fries... very expensive fries..
Sad city, they give you a fine for the smallest thing you do. So I spent now my money elsewhere.
I visited Belgium twice over the past two years. I thought the food was nasty! But Americans will eat anything 🙄!
You are nasty, Belgian food is the best on the planet. Do everyone a favor and stay in America.
Tu t'es perdue chouke ? Rentre à Paris va, ça ira mieux. Bisoukes.
And what do you like?😅😅😅😅
How is it disgusting. Belgium has so many different kinds of food. You can’t dislike everything
