Good morning today. I am here at Universal Studios, Hollywood. It's one of my favorite theme parks in greater LA area
I've been here a couple times before mainly just to go on rides. But today it's all about the food
First stop and I missed this last time Harry Potter world get myself a butterbeer
My Harry Potter feast is complete pretty much ordered everything on the menu butterbeer
I think this is pear cider fizzy pumpkin drink frozen butterbeer. Let's how you see the food. This is this is pretty crazy
I got shepherds pie
Right here. This is the smallest of the food items bangers and mash and this is called the great feast
I know who invited broccoli to the great feast
Broccoli should never be part of the great feast now. It's just like
Good feast corn potatoes chicken ribs broccoli carrots
There's definitely looks like something that is for growing kids and with the great feast
comes with
The great plate of salad that nobody ordered
They said a house salad. I'm thinking like a little bowl
Not a Harry Potter world. First of all, my first sip of butterbeer
The reason I never had this before is because I thought was actual beer. I didn't know I did not know
I just learned this was not this is not holly
Well, that's just delicious
Like super foamy it tastes like cream soda. I think this is cream soda with like a lot of foam on top
That's delicious though fish and chips first just because don't want this to get soggy
Still a little bit crunchy. Oh
Nice big chunks of fish inside
There's a lot of batter on this thing. I wonder how this is
Wow
And that's pretty good, I mean it's slightly doughy
The batter is so light. Maybe there's the same battery used to make the broomsticks. I don't know
It's just so incredibly light the fish is giant chunks of flaky cod
Because meaty is delicious. This is really good fish and chips. I've had worse fish and chips in restaurants in terms of chips
Potato wedges, but it's not bad
Really wanted to try the shepherd's pie
I'm a huge fan of shepherd's pie
Crust is kind of hard now because I I mean partially that is due to I am sitting outside
ground
Meats on the bottom. This looks good
Yeah, this is good. These are so soft and fluffy
Meat is awesomely seasoned a little spicy a little smoky
Nice subtle crunch from the peas and carrots. I'm not an expert on shepherd's pie
I don't know what tastes good and this tastes good. They give you so much salad though
This place everywhere you look a lot of salad. I had to get some fingers and mash
Fingers look delicious soaked in gravy potatoes and peas. I think a little sauerkraut on the side
This is really really good. The fingers are so flavorful
This is not this is a side of cabbage. Okay, it's not a sauerkraut
Side of cabbage with the potatoes and peas that's gonna give your taste buds enough of a break
You're not kind of overwhelmed by the heavy stuff on the plate, but this is delicious
I'm not a big fan of peas
But that sausage is amazing. All right
It is time
To take down
The great feast. This is definitely super intimidating. It's a platter for four again corn
Tons of carrots and broccoli. This is I don't really get this. I mean, there's so much better vegetables than
carrots and broccoli
tons of
barbecue
roast chicken
This is not bad. I thought it was gonna be dry saying I put in my mouth today
The meat is actually really tender the skin itself is delicious. Hmm
Really well seasoned chase it with some potatoes
Potatoes a little dry chicken is good. Let's take a look at the ribs. So this is a platter for four
You can add on to it so you could potentially meet this platter. I mean, it's like a platter for 20. I don't know
One of the tenderest ribs I found in recent days was at Harry Potter
Universal Studios Boyd in Universal Studios. What is this?
wizardry
This is so soft and tender barbecue sauce is teeny
Oh
Wow, this is great. Wow, this barbecue sauce is so good what I recommend
Take a bite of the barbecue ribs
Chase it with some chicken
Rub some of that barbecue sauce on the chicken
This sauce is really really good
This sauce is so good. I'm actually have to eat the pieces of broccoli that touch the sauce
$60 for four people not a bad deal
Corners good and you get a giant plate of salad. It's actually really not a bad deal. Oh, my dessert is melting
This is a sticky toffee pudding. Of course, uh, the ice cream on top was much bigger. Oh
There's toffee is stuffed into this pudding look at this all stuffed in the middle that's kind of a melting mess now
Butters on top of this as well
This thing just tastes like a crunchy topped toffee filled bread pudding and it is absolutely delicious
Would I taste it better if the ice cream didn't completely melt?
Well, you know what my ice cream is just like and there's melting mesh still so good. Oh, this is a must-try
This is delicious. Not bad Harry Potter world. I got another dessert
But before getting to that check out the drinks I got so should you guys the butter beer?
This is a frozen butter beer
So they froze the butter beer and put an ice cream on top. I think oh
This is so good
This is better than the regular butter beer
Must get when you come here. I'll be freshing and delicious
hmm
maybe not the best to get like sitting outside in the cold, but
Wow, that's yummy. Also got
fizzy pumpkin juice
It's like a liquidy pumpkin pie soda pop. Also, they have a pear cider
This is good. This is called a fishy green ale. It's green and it looks like there's some boba on the bottom
This is so yummy. I don't know what this is exactly. I mean this thing it tastes a little minty. There's definitely cinnamon here
That's delicious. Is this boba? Oh, it is
So I guess this symbolizes out frog eggs. Oh
It's popping boba. This is being Harry Potter frequent at bubble tea shops. Give this a try
One last dessert butter beer pot of cream
Whoa, it's like a toffee caramel pudding. Oh
That's really sweet though. I think the first bite was really good after that
You don't need some water on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm 9 3 quarters impressed
I've seen every single Harry Potter movie, but I wouldn't call myself a Potter head. I'm more like a hot pot head
I mean, this is so intricate as a giant
Hogwarts, there's a giant castle. The town looks really awesome seating area is cool. The food is great. That's really fun experience
And the Simpsons always wanted my own giant donut
This is a ginormous
Ginormous donut
You would think a giant donut like this may not taste so good. I think it's a good donut
no, I just wish I have this giant bowl of coffee or soy milk to
Dip this thing in. This is a pretty good donut. No, seriously
Not really airy and fluffy. The frosting is good too.
I mean, I know it's a novelty item all that and it's fun to eat something that's bigger than your face
Actually a tasty donut. Again, they really just sell a giant cup of coffee or tea
Couple items here at the Minion cafe. I got a grilled cheese pulled pork sandwich
The cheese is not I don't even know this is grilled. The cheese is it just looks like a cheese sandwich
It's sliced cheese
This thing this is way better than I thought. This is way better than I thought
This is actually pretty darn good all because of the pulled pork. Wow, that pulled pork is juicy.
I did not expect this. Look how easily this pork breaks apart
You see that? This thing is juicy. It's tender. I mean the cheese is American sliced cheese. Whatever. It's fine
There's such a delicious pulled pork. I'm adding some banana barbecue sauce on top
This pulled pork is so good. I was all ready to destroy the sandwich because it just doesn't look appetizing. That pork saved everything. Those Minions
can't barbecue
Mmm
That tastes like chalk
But wow, that pulled pork is good.
I don't know why I keep getting ramen at amusement parks. I mean it didn't turn out well in Disney.
I don't know why I think Universal is gonna be better, but everyone was getting it
I kind of just got caught up a little bit. Chashu on top. Oh, that's a hard-boiled egg on top and this
Oh, this is for sure
instant noodles
Yeah, that tastes like water. That expectation was met. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself.
Oh, that's just the worst ramen I've ever had in my life. Instant noodles, super soggy. This thing was 15 bucks
Chashu is actually not too bad. I mean I'll give credit where it's due. Minions are good at cooking pork
Noodles, not so much at all.
That's so bad, but that Chashu is delicious. Doing a studio tour.
Last but not least, you want to watch your arms and legs over on the left.
From ABC's Desperate Housewives.
Where there's flooding in the tour. If there is one thing everyone in suburbia can appreciate, it's a good name.
They found a GoPro, thankfully. It was submerged in water
On the studio ride, but a quick food review of Universal Studios
Here in Los Angeles. I was gonna go to one more place. I was gonna go Jurassic Cafe
But it was closed at like 4 o'clock. But I think, honestly, some good food. Go to Harry Potter. Pretty good.
You know, have a good time. And as always, thank you all so much for watching until we eat again. See you later.
