We had the most incredible time meeting the warmest and most hospitable people our first time in North Carolina this summer. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you affected by Hurricane Helene.
Thank you for the prayers & sentiment. Things are so bad in the mountain region of our state right now. My husband & son have been there taking supplies & have talked to some of the locals. The stories are heart wrenching.

@@tully6648 I think I read once there is a biological mechanism there (the whole "having room for dessert" phenomenon; most people find they can eat dessert even after stuffing themselves on a main course.) I think the theory is that it's a way to prevent malnutrition back in the day; Cave Man could still get important vitamins and nutrients from fruit even after stuffing himself with Woolly Mammoth.
@Eviltwin531 Disagree. People are just naturally fat ases and glutinous. We over eat as a matter of fact. Leading cause of death is cardiovascular disease.
Cuban girl here, when I heard the crispy crunchy skin I was in heaven. Every Christmas Eve growing up having a whole pig at dinner was something to look forward to for sure.
Lechón is amazing! I moved to the Tampa area nearly 20 years ago. My wife’s best friend is Cuban and every Christmas Eve we go to her house for Noche Bueno. Her father always does the pork and he knows to save me some of the skin because I’m from the South and I have the same love for pork that he does.

I'm from NC and have watched you guys for years and always wondered if you would ever make it to my home state to try some real BBQ. I am so happy you did and had the reaction you did! Thank also for thinking of the people of NC and those effected by the hurricane. I don't live there anymore, but my daughter does and got lucky that where she is, she is ok, but she isn't far from the Ashville area where most of the devastation is, so I got real lucky she is ok. Again, thank you for showing the beauty of the state and the kindness and good food!
I live in Raleigh about 20 minutes from this place. My wife and I eat there about once a month. I’m glad you guys are enjoying and sharing your experiences with the world.
I grew up in eastern NC. Cooking a whole hog on a smoker is called a "Pig Pickin" and we had them for special occasions, big family get togethers, etc. Everyone would walk up with their plate and just pick their own meat straight from the animal for either a pork sandwich or just meat for their plate similar to a buffet and it was frowned on if you didn't bathe it all in vinegar sauce. 😂 Good food. Lots of fun too.
@cg256y9 OMG! I live in California and our neighbor where I grew up was from NC. We did a Pig Pickin for the neighborhood but in a deep pit. She made the best vinegar sauce that was spicy. I have been searching for a recipe because I didn’t get it from her before she passed. She also used it with BBQ chicken. Do you have a recipe or a bottled brand?

If you come to North Carolina, and knock on the door at supper time, you can bet they'll ask you in and share the meal, even if it's just biscuits and gravy. Course all of the South is like that. We are friendly, welcoming and sharing people. Thank you to everyone across the country, from workers to volunteers, that have stepped up with whatever they can do. North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia , and many others appreciate all you are doing. I live in central North Carolina, but for a 2 hour drive, I could have been there. May God richly bless you all.
When I was young there was actually a fellow in the neighborhood that used to take advantage of that on a regular basis. One night at suppertime he came to the door at my uncle's place and of course my aunt and uncle invited him to dinner. It happened that my aunt had made homemade mashed potatoes that night which is one of my uncle's favorite dishes. Towards the end of the meal my uncle was getting another helping of potatoes by scrapping the very last of them out of the bowl on a serving spoon. Before he put them on his plate he asked his guest if he wanted anymore potatoes. The fellow looked over saw the serving spoon loaded with potatoes obviously ready to go on my uncle's plate and said, "I believe I will." Somehow my uncle who was not a patient or especially generous man (when it came to sharing food) managed not to lose his temper but he later said he wished he had slung the potatoes at the guys head. We told that story in my family for years always imitating the mannerisms and intonations of the guest in question. So yes you will get fed if you show up at dinner time in NC but be advised that you shouldn't be rude and take the last of your host's food out of their mouth lest you end up with a serving of it thrown at your head in a fit of rage. LMAO
I was born in Abingdon, Virginia. The kindest people in the world live in the area where the floods hit. God bless them and the volunteers helping in that area.🙏
Sam Jones , Rodney Scott and Ms . Tootsie from snow’s bbq are the 3 legacy pit masters that are the real deal humble southerners that are doing the lords work!!!! They honor the animal and serve the people. In search of flavor and hospitality.
This has been a great series to watch every week. As a South Carolinian it’s great to see southern food culture on display. Please be sure to be praying for those affected by Hurricane Helene. Asheville NC was hit the hardest. Really devastating to see the destruction of that area. We were hit pretty good too in Upstate SC but we’re doing better than many others are.
@@honorsilverthorne7227our hearts go out to our neighbors to the north of us, we were hit very hard but seeing the complete devastation in NC is heartbreaking, we've been to so many of those places and to see it now and know that the good people we've met through out the years are suffering makes our soul ache, our prayers will include you forever. 🙏
@DarkEnv2 There are soooo many videos out there by rescue workers working on the front lines, or family members looking for their missing people. It truly is heartbreaking.
Oh my Lord, I could listen to Sam Jones all day long! What a master of his craft! Thoughts and prayers to all those folks in North Carolina that have been affected by hurricane Helene. Bless you all!🙏😥♥️🏴🇺🇸
Pray for WNC, TN, GA, VA, SC and FL! We are still in the middle of the disaster and it's only increasing with lack of food/water/medicine. Keep talking about it, don't it be forgotten!
@@acex8124 Stop making every damn thing political. It has nothing to do with Trump or Biden. This is an unprecedented situation, that was also unexpected and worse than predicated as well. Roads, infrastructure, literally everything is wiped out in some of these areas. Would you like the government to use Star Trek replicators to magically create stuff instantaneously? Do you really believe if Trump was in office (or ANY other president) this would be turning out different? The insanity has to stop. But it's not the insanity you are implying I'm afraid.
As someone from North Carolina, I certainly appreciate the respect given to one of our states famous dishes. We give a lot of time and consideration when we cook and food is the backbone of our community for the most part weddings the funerals, family gatherings, you name it.
@@CaptainBlammo-u7s But don't let them get addicted. Had a friend move away into another state without it. Whenever she comes back for a visit she loads up on Sundrop. Here family knows to buy up whenever there's any type of sale or coupon.
The bite after the bbq sammich is the longest and quietest I've seen these two ever be after a bite of food!! Sam does put together some great Eastern NC BBQ!!
It’s been a lot of fun watching you discover an oft overlooked part of America culture (by visitors to the U.S.) in this series. So many people who do these travel vlog style trips to the U.S. just go to NYC, LA or Vegas and then think they know what the U.S. is like and they have no idea. You guys do it right and you’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg.
Welcome to North Carolina boys! I've lived here for 27 years and I LOVE the food. We have bugs, snakes, and WAY too much humidity here, but the food makes it SO worth it (and the people too). I'm glad you enjoyed your trip over here.
Collard greens can be bitter. You’re supposed to wait until after the first good frost before you harvest them or they’ll be bitter. As strange as it sounds it does make a huge difference in the final product.
I'm a lifelong North Carolina from several generations of North Carolinians.. I grew up in the Piedmont of NC where shoulder bbq with tomato based sauce sold but my parents are from Eastern NC. I look forward to it when I visit. Whole hog with vinegar based sauce is the best in the state! And I LOVE collard greens.
Did I just stumble across my doppelgänger? Same story, same family legacy! 🤣 NC Piedmont born and raised (Mooresville), but I preferred eastern NC BBQ as well!
The only thing red that should be in Carolina pork barbecue, is possibly some red pepper flakes. I was a northerner who went to college in eastern North Carolina many years ago, and absolutely fell in love with the BBQ there. Now in Virginia, and bless their hearts, they try . . . But . . .
Currently training to be a medical doctor! Very busy with my schedule but u guys always put a smile on my face and makes my heart feel lighter! Thank you Josh and Ollie!
So wish yall and Jolly could’ve visited Western NC before Helene. I’m over the Mountain in East TN…hope y’all can visit us someday and try our BBQ and WNC BBQ. Thanks for the prayers we need all the help we can get. 🧡🤍
They undoubtedly filmed all these American videos on the same trip and are slow releasing them. I can only imagine what their unprepared gut was feeling like putting all that through them in a matter of weeks lmaoo
There’s a Cheerwine Festival every year in May in Salisbury, NC. A half hour away is the town of Lexington, which is renowned for its “Lexington style Bbq”. They also have an annual festival coming up at the end of Oct.
You guys should go around the northeast in summer time, Maine during blueberry season is so fun. You can hike mountains and eat wild blueberries, go into town and get blueberry pie/soda/beer, so much beautiful nature as welk from kayaking with seals to rock climbing, or skiing in the winter. All along the northeastern coastal cities and towns you'll also get great oysters, clams, calamari, clam chowder, lobster, seafood generally. You could hit up Buffalo NY for the og Buffalo wings. Next jolly tour!
Spent the first 20-something years of my life in NC and then moved to Texas as an adult. Both styles are great, just depends on what meat you have handy.
That first bite of the first sandwich..was the quietest they have ever been, for any amount of time. When diners are that quiet, you know the food is that good. I send you strength and love to those affected by Helene..from Hawaii.
Ollie dancing to the flavor of that first bite 😊 Sending prayers to all who have been affected by the Hurricane 🙏 My house was wrecked in Hurricane Sandy. I am with you. 🙏
@@ypw510 It's not always used as an insult. It can be used as a genuine compliment. Usually, the most common way it gets used is when someone, usually it's a relatively young child, tries to do something that they think is nice, but ends up making a mess or causing some kind of disaster. For example: A 7 year old boy wants to try to clean up after dinner and tries to wash the dishes for his grandma. Instead he drops a plate and manages to get water everywhere all over the sink counter top. Grandma might say, "oh bless your heart sweetie, you don't need to do that I'll get to it. Now the counter's all wet, could you go get me a towel?" Is she insulting her grandson? No. It's more of a way someone can say something nice while frustrated to avoid yelling at someone.
@@loganleroy8622 Sure. But I've heard it used before where the condescension is absolutely dripping all over. I suppose it has to be heard to figure if it's a compliment or an insult.
I grew up in NC and can confirm, whole hog is the best version of "pulled pork" lol. I love brisket but I feel like it's totally different, it just comes down if you want beef or pork haha
Believe it or not there is a national banana pudding festival here in the United States. It is in Centerville, Tennessee and we are going this weekend for the first time. Should be fun. I think you guys would really enjoy that and it would make a great video for you two.
Watching Jolly tour the South has introduced me to several variations of nanner puddin' i couldn't imagine until seeing it. In Texas they throw in pecans. In NC they bake meringue on top like a banana cream pie. In Missouri...well the Jolly boys haven't made it here yet, but even we know not to use that boxed pudding that pretends to be custard. 😃 Have fun on your trip.
Love this series! SO glad they got to try whole-hog Q. Plus, they got to have Cheerwine the way it's meant to be, from cold glass bottles! That's a proper southern feast right there. :) And yeah, Collards are something of an acquired taste. The main thing is that the vinegar and smoke are meant to cut through the fatty pig.
Living in North Carolina, specifically Catawba, it is such a blessing that y'all were able to get a taste of our culture. I am happy that y'all were out of here before Hurricane Helena!!
I have lived in the South my entire life and the last 20 years in North Carolina specifically. I was so glad to see you all do NC BBQ. He did right by you with the dishes he selected. In NC the pulled pork sandwich is definitely a staple and the fact that he gave you Cheerwine to drink was the “cherry on top”, pardon the pun. I love collards but it is definitely an acquired taste and also a dish for which everyone has their own recipe. So glad you two enjoyed the food and really glad you guys took a road trip through the South. I maybe a bit biased but no one can beat the South for good tasting bad for you comfort food. In the words of Jed Clampett “Y’all come back now, ya hear.”
So glad y’all have embraced eating with your fingers 😊 Many of us don’t put vinegar in our greens. We’ll throw in some pork, salt, and a bit of sugar to cut the bitterness. They will cook all day to become tender. I hope you’ll get some of them, one day. Best wishes to you from Alabama, USA
It's very regional or even family to family -- I'm from georgia and greens always have vinegar in them, and not just a little dash. that goes in there along with pork, salt etc.
I absolutely love watching these videos! It’s so exciting to see the different types and styles of food they go for in different states and countries 😊 My favourite RUclipsrs by far!
I love Cheerwine, but it sucks I can't find it out west. I used to live in Tennessee and you almost could never find it there until recent years. I agree with Ollie's statement about Cheerwine and Cherry Coke. Cherry Coke is my go-to soda, but I do wish it had more cherry flavor like Cheerwine does. EVERYONE, any of you that likes cherry-flavored sodas, try out Cheerwine anytime you ever visit the Southeastern states. You'll find it everywhere in North Carolina, but it has been spreading to other states in the southeast.
Worst case: Ask your local grocery store to order a case of Cheer Wine for you. They might decide to add it to their regular stock. My daughter in IN gets hers at a Mexican grocery.
In defense of the greens: normally, when I've made them/eaten them, they aren't outright vinegar-y. The primary flavor comes from whatever smoked meat was used to season them (ham hock, smoked turkey wing, etc.). A little bit of vinegar is added, but not a lot. Instead, a bottle of hot pepper vinegar is served at the table for people to add as they choose. Awesome vid as always!!
With collard greens, I moved to NC in middle school. But I was introduced to collard greens the right way, so I fell in love with it immediately. I treat collard greens like kimchi. By itself, it's okay. But with meat or something fatty and oily, it is a great combo. I don't live in NC anymore, so I miss it.
100%. I think of Chimichurri and pickled red onions in a very similar light as well. Pops of vegetal/herby acid that “brighten up” the flavors around it but isn’t something you’ll necessarily eat by itself
Collards are easy to grow in your garden. I grow them but mostly give them away because I prefer mustard greens. I stir fry the mustards sometimes. Delicious.
Lmfao 🤣! Right? I was just getting ready to comment the complete and utter silence from one and the random happy giggles from the other, is a testament to how good that is!
I live in Upstate South Carolina and we got hit pretty bad by the hurricane. On another note, it’s definitely nice to see that you guys finally got to experience some Carolina BBQ and love. Collard greens are delicious but it definitely matters on who is cooking it.
Yeah, a lot of restaurants have moved toward really over-the-top vinegar flavors with their collards. I always grew up with them getting most of their flavor from ham hocks, so they had a much more smokey, porky taste, with the vinegar served in a shaker bottle on the side. I think the move toward healthier eating has seen the restaurants try to go to something a little cleaner on the palette, but not as tasty, in my opinion.
Cheerwine has always been family owned. Once Coke tried to buy it and the old man told them he didn't need that much money. Glad you got a chance to try it.
Collard greens are definitely what some will call an acquired taste. Some people are born loving them their whole life - I couldn't eat them for the first 30 years; couldn't stand the taste no matter who made them, but now I guess I finally got a taste for them and now I get them at every opportunity.
If you’re in the south and looking for BBQ, look for the ones that look like a concrete bunker with a hecka lot of smoke going up from the outside kitchens and pits. The paint is often peeling but you’ll be able to tell by the lines what the quality is.
Hi guys! I know this was part of the shoot in the USA but when you come back to the UK you have to try the slow cooked pork sandwich with crackling at The Black Pig in Borough Market!!! It’s absolutely delicious and you have it in your own city!!! If you do try it, make a video out of it, I know your reactions will be priceless!!! 🙌🏻
So cool that you stopped by a place I go weekly! This place is so incredible, and Sam is truly the master. So so so so happy you guys got to experience this place!
Im so glad they made it to North Carolina! As someone who has lived in NC my whole life I can confidently say we have some of the best food in the south and I hope they can come back soon to try some more places!
@@johnpaulschultz6940 That's fine. I live in a State of which I am very fond., I don't really want to leave, I was just giving a compliment. I am accustomed to ridicule for living in Kansas but I accept that. Nobody believes that Kansas has some scenes of real beauty. For example, the Great Plains undulates with little hills and little valleys all around. In the right season you can go out to the western half of the State stand on a little hill look out and see as far as the horizon, golden fields of waist high gently swaying back and forth. It all waving wheat; you can see this 360 degrees. The sky is an intense blue with eagles circling around. It is a world of golden topped with a hemisphere of blue. The wheat sways in the wind and makes a very pleasant shushing sound, very soothing; something like ocean waves. The ripening wheat has a faint, very pleasant arima, There are at least two more very, very beautiful spots but I am keeping that to myself. Beset wishes with storm recovery to all North Carolinians
Love and prayers for all those affected by Helene. ❤🙏 Glad you enjoyed your trip Josh, Ollie and team. You have inspired my friend in the UK to come over someday and try some of the places you visited!

When I was young there was actually a fellow in the neighborhood that used to take advantage of that on a regular basis. One night at suppertime he came to the door at my uncle's place and of course my aunt and uncle invited him to dinner. It happened that my aunt had made homemade mashed potatoes that night which is one of my uncle's favorite dishes. Towards the end of the meal my uncle was getting another helping of potatoes by scrapping the very last of them out of the bowl on a serving spoon. Before he put them on his plate he asked his guest if he wanted anymore potatoes. The fellow looked over saw the serving spoon loaded with potatoes obviously ready to go on my uncle's plate and said, "I believe I will." Somehow my uncle who was not a patient or especially generous man (when it came to sharing food) managed not to lose his temper but he later said he wished he had slung the potatoes at the guys head. We told that story in my family for years always imitating the mannerisms and intonations of the guest in question. So yes you will get fed if you show up at dinner time in NC but be advised that you shouldn't be rude and take the last of your host's food out of their mouth lest you end up with a serving of it thrown at your head in a fit of rage. LMAO
That would be a good premise to a tv/RUclips channel
I was born in Abingdon, Virginia. The kindest people in the world live in the area where the floods hit. God bless them and the volunteers helping in that area.🙏
That's where my sister lives. They're all doing ok thank God.
Amen.🙏
You haven’t been outside USA wdym in the world😂
Sam Jones , Rodney Scott and Ms . Tootsie from snow’s bbq are the 3 legacy pit masters that are the real deal humble southerners that are doing the lords work!!!! They honor the animal and serve the people. In search of flavor and hospitality.
Love watching you two! Praying for all those that lost their lives and homes in NC!!
What about Israel? Where are your prayers for Israelis?
Sending Love and Prayers to all the people of North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and all affected by Hurricane Helene.
This has been a great series to watch every week. As a South Carolinian it’s great to see southern food culture on display. Please be sure to be praying for those affected by Hurricane Helene. Asheville NC was hit the hardest. Really devastating to see the destruction of that area. We were hit pretty good too in Upstate SC but we’re doing better than many others are.
Prayers also for SC. 🙏 From this native North Carolinian. ❤
@@honorsilverthorne7227our hearts go out to our neighbors to the north of us, we were hit very hard but seeing the complete devastation in NC is heartbreaking, we've been to so many of those places and to see it now and know that the good people we've met through out the years are suffering makes our soul ache, our prayers will include you forever. 🙏
And Chimney Rock. It literally no longer exists!
@@CraftyGirlNC I know I’m still in shock from seeing that! Breaks my heart
@DarkEnv2 There are soooo many videos out there by rescue workers working on the front lines, or family members looking for their missing people. It truly is heartbreaking.
You two have always been so respectful and ot shows in the way you are treated back. Keep humble we all appreciate it
Grew up in NC and moved, it’s so nice to hear Sam’s southern drawl, I’d bet he would be a joy to just sit and listen to him talk about his life.
I love our Southern accents.
Oh my Lord, I could listen to Sam Jones all day long!
What a master of his craft!
Thoughts and prayers to all those folks in North Carolina that have been affected by hurricane Helene. Bless you all!🙏😥♥️🏴🇺🇸
Pray for WNC, TN, GA, VA, SC and FL! We are still in the middle of the disaster and it's only increasing with lack of food/water/medicine. Keep talking about it, don't it be forgotten!
Huge government fail here. Vote Trump. The insanity has to stop.
@@acex8124 Stop making every damn thing political. It has nothing to do with Trump or Biden. This is an unprecedented situation, that was also unexpected and worse than predicated as well. Roads, infrastructure, literally everything is wiped out in some of these areas. Would you like the government to use Star Trek replicators to magically create stuff instantaneously? Do you really believe if Trump was in office (or ANY other president) this would be turning out different?
The insanity has to stop. But it's not the insanity you are implying I'm afraid.
@acex8124 The trucks finally got through the storm to help the people and that's important. Thank God for the help. 🙏🙏🙏
As someone from North Carolina, I certainly appreciate the respect given to one of our states famous dishes. We give a lot of time and consideration when we cook and food is the backbone of our community for the most part weddings the funerals, family gatherings, you name it.
I’m from NC, and I’m so happy you got to try Cheerwine!! ♥️♥️
Loved the comment 'this is what cherry coke wished it tasted like'
They need to try a Sun Drop next!
@@CaptainBlammo-u7s But don't let them get addicted. Had a friend move away into another state without it. Whenever she comes back for a visit she loads up on Sundrop. Here family knows to buy up whenever there's any type of sale or coupon.
The bite after the bbq sammich is the longest and quietest I've seen these two ever be after a bite of food!! Sam does put together some great Eastern NC BBQ!!
It’s been a lot of fun watching you discover an oft overlooked part of America culture (by visitors to the U.S.) in this series. So many people who do these travel vlog style trips to the U.S. just go to NYC, LA or Vegas and then think they know what the U.S. is like and they have no idea. You guys do it right and you’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg.
Welcome to North Carolina boys! I've lived here for 27 years and I LOVE the food. We have bugs, snakes, and WAY too much humidity here, but the food makes it SO worth it (and the people too). I'm glad you enjoyed your trip over here.
That's what makes the south great. You might think it's all the same, but you'll find new styles and subculture in every state.
Collard greens can be bitter. You’re supposed to wait until after the first good frost before you harvest them or they’ll be bitter. As strange as it sounds it does make a huge difference in the final product.
This 👆 My mother in law also shredded her collards really thin and they were delicious.
I cook them with lemon juice that cuts through the bitter. Maybe add some tabasco vinegar.
I'm one of those people can't taste bitter, so I can eat raw collards in the flowering stage.
@@Bacopa68I have never heard of cooking collards in lemon juice. My family uses a little vinegar.
@@Bacopa68 I use vinegar, smoked meat, and hot sauce...Texas Pete, which of course also has vinegar in it
I'm a lifelong North Carolina from several generations of North Carolinians.. I grew up in the Piedmont of NC where shoulder bbq with tomato based sauce sold but my parents are from Eastern NC. I look forward to it when I visit. Whole hog with vinegar based sauce is the best in the state! And I LOVE collard greens.
Did I just stumble across my doppelgänger? Same story, same family legacy! 🤣 NC Piedmont born and raised (Mooresville), but I preferred eastern NC BBQ as well!
I was born up north and moved to Lexington, NC. I love the BBQ here. I eat collards three to four times a week.
Good on ya for recognizing eastern-style supremacy. All the best from us folks down in the Low Country & the Sandhills
Prissy polly in kernersville has both sauces and they both are great
The only thing red that should be in Carolina pork barbecue, is possibly some red pepper flakes. I was a northerner who went to college in eastern North Carolina many years ago, and absolutely fell in love with the BBQ there. Now in Virginia, and bless their hearts, they try . . . But . . .
I have never been more jealous of you two gentlemen watching you eat so much great food than in this series!😊❤
The people in the South are a new breed of niceness. Glad you guys are having a GREAT time eating the best food!
Us southern folk like great food and even better people.
I find in the south, even the rudeness is nice. "Bless Your Heart"-type statements haha
Thank you ma’am. You should come to Tennessee sometime ❤
@@JackTown_7 I am so down! I have been to the South a few times. But not for a long time. So, I am on my way
Not new... just new to everyone else
😂
We don't live long in the south, but we live happy.
Currently training to be a medical doctor! Very busy with my schedule but u guys always put a smile on my face and makes my heart feel lighter! Thank you Josh and Ollie!
Welcome to NC THIS IS WHAT WE DO!!!!!! 🎉🎉
Thoughts love and prayers to our cousins and across the pond 🇺🇸 ❤️
So wish yall and Jolly could’ve visited Western NC before Helene. I’m over the Mountain in East TN…hope y’all can visit us someday and try our BBQ and WNC BBQ. Thanks for the prayers we need all the help we can get. 🧡🤍
Thanks you, cuzzins. ❤
I love watching these Brit’s enjoying American cuisine, it makes me appreciate having access to it all the time.
They undoubtedly filmed all these American videos on the same trip and are slow releasing them. I can only imagine what their unprepared gut was feeling like putting all that through them in a matter of weeks lmaoo
Yep, they did the road trip right before Josh's daughter was due, so they'd have content to cover the filming gap for new dad time off.
There’s a Cheerwine Festival every year in May in Salisbury, NC. A half hour away is the town of Lexington, which is renowned for its “Lexington style Bbq”. They also have an annual festival coming up at the end of Oct.
You guys should go around the northeast in summer time, Maine during blueberry season is so fun. You can hike mountains and eat wild blueberries, go into town and get blueberry pie/soda/beer, so much beautiful nature as welk from kayaking with seals to rock climbing, or skiing in the winter. All along the northeastern coastal cities and towns you'll also get great oysters, clams, calamari, clam chowder, lobster, seafood generally. You could hit up Buffalo NY for the og Buffalo wings. Next jolly tour!
Is British do love our seafood
Baltimore crab cakes, water taxis and the Maryland Renaissance Faire!
Cheerwine originated in Salisbury, NC. Salisbury holds the Cheerwine Festival each May. You'd love the BBQ at that event.
I'm a Texan and I love my brisket, but I have family in NC and love their style also. Lucky Jolly Crew!
I'm a North Carolinian, and I reciprocate this sentiment ❤
Spent the first 20-something years of my life in NC and then moved to Texas as an adult. Both styles are great, just depends on what meat you have handy.
That first bite of the first sandwich..was the quietest they have ever been, for any amount of time. When diners are that quiet, you know the food is that good. I send you strength and love to those affected by Helene..from Hawaii.
Ollie dancing to the flavor of that first bite 😊
Sending prayers to all who have been affected by the Hurricane 🙏 My house was wrecked in Hurricane Sandy. I am with you. 🙏
May Almighty God bless and help you all. I love you all.
I think this is the first time I've seen them both honestly speechless 😂❤ And the owner "say no to casserole" 🤣🥰😂🤣😂
A little surprised Ollie didn't get a "bless your heart" for that casserole comment.
I don't have that much experience hearing it, but I thought (as condescension) it was something that is most commonly used by women in a catty way.
@@ypw510 Yes, it ranges from a "kinder" way to call someone an idiot to straight up super rude insult.
@@ypw510 It's not always used as an insult. It can be used as a genuine compliment. Usually, the most common way it gets used is when someone, usually it's a relatively young child, tries to do something that they think is nice, but ends up making a mess or causing some kind of disaster.
For example: A 7 year old boy wants to try to clean up after dinner and tries to wash the dishes for his grandma. Instead he drops a plate and manages to get water everywhere all over the sink counter top. Grandma might say, "oh bless your heart sweetie, you don't need to do that I'll get to it. Now the counter's all wet, could you go get me a towel?"
Is she insulting her grandson? No. It's more of a way someone can say something nice while frustrated to avoid yelling at someone.
i was waitin'! lol
@@loganleroy8622
Sure. But I've heard it used before where the condescension is absolutely dripping all over. I suppose it has to be heard to figure if it's a compliment or an insult.
I grew up in NC and can confirm, whole hog is the best version of "pulled pork" lol. I love brisket but I feel like it's totally different, it just comes down if you want beef or pork haha
Believe it or not there is a national banana pudding festival here in the United States. It is in Centerville, Tennessee and we are going this weekend for the first time. Should be fun. I think you guys would really enjoy that and it would make a great video for you two.
Watching Jolly tour the South has introduced me to several variations of nanner puddin' i couldn't imagine until seeing it. In Texas they throw in pecans. In NC they bake meringue on top like a banana cream pie. In Missouri...well the Jolly boys haven't made it here yet, but even we know not to use that boxed pudding that pretends to be custard. 😃 Have fun on your trip.
No kidding? Oh I would LOVE to go to that festival! 😊
I’m in East TN and only put meringue on top if I’m try to impress. Otherwise it’s a lot of nilla wafers (my fav part) on top. 😂
Love this series! SO glad they got to try whole-hog Q. Plus, they got to have Cheerwine the way it's meant to be, from cold glass bottles! That's a proper southern feast right there. :)
And yeah, Collards are something of an acquired taste. The main thing is that the vinegar and smoke are meant to cut through the fatty pig.
I like them taking the “ You’re gonna thank me for this” very literally. Lol
North Carolinian here, and I’m so excited to say Welcome to North Carolina! We’re happy to see you here!
Always ready for more Jolly videos, really enjoyed watching this trip!
Living in North Carolina, specifically Catawba, it is such a blessing that y'all were able to get a taste of our culture. I am happy that y'all were out of here before Hurricane Helena!!
I keep watching these videos on an empty stomach... Why do I do this to myself 🌚😂
You too??
empty stomach or not, youre gonna get hungry no matter what. i just ate, but im starting to get hungry again watching jolly eat delicious food.
...and then I go to the kitchen and find only ramen......😢
Lol it's like going grocery shopping on an empty stomach
At least dinner was coking for me. But after this video it looked pretty lame.
I have lived in the South my entire life and the last 20 years in North Carolina specifically. I was so glad to see you all do NC BBQ. He did right by you with the dishes he selected. In NC the pulled pork sandwich is definitely a staple and the fact that he gave you Cheerwine to drink was the “cherry on top”, pardon the pun. I love collards but it is definitely an acquired taste and also a dish for which everyone has their own recipe. So glad you two enjoyed the food and really glad you guys took a road trip through the South. I maybe a bit biased but no one can beat the South for good tasting bad for you comfort food. In the words of Jed Clampett “Y’all come back now, ya hear.”
Having grown up spoiled on BBQ here in NC i can honestly say you saved the best for last. Glad you also agree! Cheers!
Thinking of y'all down in NC. Stay strong. Stay safe. Much love from Oregon.
So glad y’all have embraced eating with your fingers 😊
Many of us don’t put vinegar in our greens. We’ll throw in some pork, salt, and a bit of sugar to cut the bitterness. They will cook all day to become tender. I hope you’ll get some of them, one day.
Best wishes to you from Alabama, USA
I like a little vinegar in them. 😋
It's very regional or even family to family -- I'm from georgia and greens always have vinegar in them, and not just a little dash. that goes in there along with pork, salt etc.
i'm from eastern NC and grew up putting vinegar on greens. i thought everyone did that until recently lol
"I hope we don't let you down": Sam is just such a humble, down to earth guy. He does the South proud.
God bless the South.
I absolutely love watching these videos! It’s so exciting to see the different types and styles of food they go for in different states and countries 😊
My favourite RUclipsrs by far!
Whole heartedly enjoyed this series!! Thank you so much!!
I love Cheerwine, but it sucks I can't find it out west. I used to live in Tennessee and you almost could never find it there until recent years. I agree with Ollie's statement about Cheerwine and Cherry Coke. Cherry Coke is my go-to soda, but I do wish it had more cherry flavor like Cheerwine does. EVERYONE, any of you that likes cherry-flavored sodas, try out Cheerwine anytime you ever visit the Southeastern states. You'll find it everywhere in North Carolina, but it has been spreading to other states in the southeast.
In Houston I can find it occasionally at Lolly & Pops at the mall or at World Market just FYI
Worst case: Ask your local grocery store to order a case of Cheer Wine for you. They might decide to add it to their regular stock. My daughter in IN gets hers at a Mexican grocery.
I get it at Kroger here in Ohio
In defense of the greens: normally, when I've made them/eaten them, they aren't outright vinegar-y. The primary flavor comes from whatever smoked meat was used to season them (ham hock, smoked turkey wing, etc.). A little bit of vinegar is added, but not a lot. Instead, a bottle of hot pepper vinegar is served at the table for people to add as they choose. Awesome vid as always!!
ITA most people I know just add a little bit of vinegar either while cooking or after with the pepper sauce.
With collard greens, I moved to NC in middle school. But I was introduced to collard greens the right way, so I fell in love with it immediately. I treat collard greens like kimchi. By itself, it's okay. But with meat or something fatty and oily, it is a great combo. I don't live in NC anymore, so I miss it.
I grow up in the south and do not eat greens. But the rest of my family does.
100%. I think of Chimichurri and pickled red onions in a very similar light as well.
Pops of vegetal/herby acid that “brighten up” the flavors around it but isn’t something you’ll necessarily eat by itself
Collards are easy to grow in your garden. I grow them but mostly give them away because I prefer mustard greens. I stir fry the mustards sometimes. Delicious.
3:12 “master jones” is his grandfather 💀💀
🤣
Ha!!!!
Lmao
5:00 bro couldnt even help with the review it was so good 😄
Lmfao 🤣! Right? I was just getting ready to comment the complete and utter silence from one and the random happy giggles from the other, is a testament to how good that is!
I really enjoy when the other guys get in on the tasting.
I live in Upstate South Carolina and we got hit pretty bad by the hurricane. On another note, it’s definitely nice to see that you guys finally got to experience some Carolina BBQ and love. Collard greens are delicious but it definitely matters on who is cooking it.
Yeah, a lot of restaurants have moved toward really over-the-top vinegar flavors with their collards. I always grew up with them getting most of their flavor from ham hocks, so they had a much more smokey, porky taste, with the vinegar served in a shaker bottle on the side. I think the move toward healthier eating has seen the restaurants try to go to something a little cleaner on the palette, but not as tasty, in my opinion.
I always say, if you don’t like collards, whoever made them for you didn’t do it right.
@@acegh0st same with me
@@snausages43 exactly!
10:11 this is a crazy good shot to just have it be a couple second throwaway b-roll at the end of the vid!
That Pork BBQ looks so good - thanks for the vid!
Love and prayers from Nebraska to NC and the rest our American friends in the south east. we are with you! 🙏
Y'all have reached the very PINNACLE of North Carolina Barbeque. You will never be the same after a meal like that.😎😄👍
What a great way to end the tour, in NC. Love and prayers going out to the families up there right now.
Love, your neighbors in Georgia.
If you guys don't go back to the UK and start a BBQ joint, you're crazy! All the knowledge you've gained could bring the food game up significantly.
Cheerwine has always been family owned. Once Coke tried to buy it and the old man told them he didn't need that much money. Glad you got a chance to try it.
"Say 'no' to casserole" ROFL
Spoken like a true meatatarian, love it!
Collard greens are definitely what some will call an acquired taste. Some people are born loving them their whole life - I couldn't eat them for the first 30 years; couldn't stand the taste no matter who made them, but now I guess I finally got a taste for them and now I get them at every opportunity.
Sending love from NC ty for stopping and showing love to NC BBQ very underrated!
If you’re in the south and looking for BBQ, look for the ones that look like a concrete bunker with a hecka lot of smoke going up from the outside kitchens and pits. The paint is often peeling but you’ll be able to tell by the lines what the quality is.
It’s my birthday jolly!! I am so happy to see you guys eat bbq from Carolina!! I will be sending you a box from Indiana! 💖💖💖
Happy Birthday!
Hi guys! I know this was part of the shoot in the USA but when you come back to the UK you have to try the slow cooked pork sandwich with crackling at The Black Pig in Borough Market!!! It’s absolutely delicious and you have it in your own city!!! If you do try it, make a video out of it, I know your reactions will be priceless!!! 🙌🏻
Total city boy growing up and the first time I went to a proper pig roast and tasted it.... it was as if I had never had pork before.
So cool that you stopped by a place I go weekly! This place is so incredible, and Sam is truly the master. So so so so happy you guys got to experience this place!
Now that is satisfying. Makes me proud to be NC born. Real BBQ 100%. I'll take this over TX brisket every time.
Im so glad they made it to North Carolina! As someone who has lived in NC my whole life I can confidently say we have some of the best food in the south and I hope they can come back soon to try some more places!
Notice how humble and sweet the man is. Wow, I'm moving to North Carolina
City Nerd went to Winston-Salem and thought it was pretty cool.
We’re full!
@@johnpaulschultz6940 That's fine. I live in a State of which I am very fond., I don't really want to leave, I was just giving a compliment. I am accustomed to ridicule for living in Kansas but I accept that. Nobody believes that Kansas has some scenes of real beauty. For example, the Great Plains undulates with little hills and little valleys all around. In the right season you can go out to the western half of the State stand on a little hill look out and see as far as the horizon, golden fields of waist high gently swaying back and forth. It all waving wheat; you can see this 360 degrees. The sky is an intense blue with eagles circling around. It is a world of golden topped with a hemisphere of blue. The wheat sways in the wind and makes a very pleasant shushing sound, very soothing; something like ocean waves. The ripening wheat has a faint, very pleasant arima, There are at least two more very, very beautiful spots but I am keeping that to myself.
Beset wishes with storm recovery to all North Carolinians

His bbq is the absolute best. I lived in Ayden for a year and went to his place weekly. AMAZING
0:44 when Ollie asks why a full hog and not a half one because they don't want to cut it up and Josh thinks it's a daft question, his face goes through so many changes hearing there's a legit answer 🤣

The cheerwine is proof you went to a legit NC spot. In some places you can find frozen sun drop and frozen cheerwine machines. Legendary stuff.
It is always so crazy to me for the background to be 10 minutes down the road from my house 😂
