Before leaving Mexico, we ate some tacos at 4am! That's pretty early for some tacos. But I've been missing hotpot so after arriving back home in Seattle I had to go eat some to satisfy my cravings. The next day I ate one of the best Hawaiian burgers called, The Box in Seattle after that I had to catch up on some work. #seattle#hotpot#hawaiianburger
We just finished our final video here in Mexico.
It's about 10 o'clock right now.
We're going to go get 4 hours of sleep.
5 hours of sleep.
We're going to leave at 3am.
Flight's at 7am.
Leaving from Oaxaca, going to Dallas,
and then heading up to Seattle.
It was a fun adventure.
Gotta go to bed.
It's about 3 in the morning.
What?
A little sleepy.
And a little hungry.
You hungry?
Yeah?
Yeah.
Let's see if we can grab a taco before we get to the airport.
One last taco for the road.
All right.
Ready for breakfast tacos.
And I just want to give a quick shout out to HelloFresh,
who's sponsoring this Homeward Bound video.
So we're going to do a little cooking towards the end.
I got a package of food waiting for me at home.
Some other guy went to get tacos too.
We're not the only ones.
I'm getting some al pastor.
That pineapple doesn't look like it's had the best day.
Maybe I'll skip out on the pineapple.
No meat on here.
Oh, man.
It's like...
They are going to have more meat.
My stomach is hurting right now.
I'm hoping that's because I'm hungry
and not because I got food poisoning last night.
So if I eat this and the pain doesn't go away,
we got...
Ben got tons of meat.
Look at this.
Double meat.
No, you got tons of meat.
Double meat.
Yeah.
I'm gonna get more meat on my tacos.
4 a.m. tacos.
May not be the wisest of choices.
Some dry al pastor.
Ben loves this mango drink.
Do you not have this in Canada?
No?
No.
I don't think so.
This is his favorite drink.
It's dry.
It's really not.
Oh, my God. It's so dry.
This place is actually...
They got good reviews.
Because when people are drunk,
they can't tell their taco's dry.
So the airport is closed.
Everyone's waiting for the airport to open.
Doors are finally open.
Hi, buddy.
Thanks for everything.
Okay.
All right.
It was my pleasure.
All right. Thank you very much.
Yeah, man.
Really don't need to come here that early.
I think we came too early.
The security check-in is not even open right now.
Bye, Mexico.
Thanks for all the great food.
Dallas, Fort Worth.
This is one of the biggest complicated airports.
So I had to recheck my bag.
Recheck in security.
And now I'll try to get to my flight before it takes off.
It's gonna be a sprint.
I've been sprinting for like 10 minutes already.
That was some last minute stuff.
It wouldn't stop.
Right? It wouldn't stop?
No.
It would just kill me?
Yes.
Oh, my God.
All right. I'm really stupid.
Actually, I have...
I got to my gate and I read the time wrong.
So I have an extra 30 minutes before I board.
All that almost killing myself for nothing.
Last time I flew through Dallas, I ate here.
A lot of you guys wonder why I got the burger.
I was feeling like a burger.
But you said I should have got the catfish?
Let's go fix this.
I think this is what everyone's talking about.
The blackened Mississippi catfish.
That's an expensive catfish.
All right. I think I might have ordered the wrong catfish.
Sorry.
Next time, Dallas.
It's good.
That was an expensive plate of fried catfish.
Like $35 for the fried catfish.
Because I only saw that one catfish dish on the menu.
So I said, can I get the catfish?
And that's what showed up.
I didn't know there was like another fried catfish dish on the menu.
Oh, I feel so oily now.
After a while, the fish starts tasting a little funky.
My mouth is burning because I only had like 10 minutes to eat all that.
I'm going to fix this food problem when I get back home.
So happy to be home.
My fluffy carpet.
My little dumplings.
I did some work real quick and then got so hungry right now.
On second thought, I am exhausted.
I think I'm going to call for some takeout and I'm going to go to bed soon.
I only slept like two hours last night.
So yeah, I think I'm just going to collapse.
There's some stuff I want to say about the trip.
I'm just going to do all that tomorrow when I can actually think straight.
See you in the morning.
Just woke up. It's about 10 o'clock right now.
Man, that was some groggy sleep.
You ever had those naps where you're just like, it's not like a good sleep.
It's just a bunch of weird dreams.
I think I was watching Shazam at some point.
I mean, this is just very temporary.
I'm going back to sleep very soon.
But I went downstairs and I got a package.
This is from my friend Amy.
So she got me teas from mainland China.
This is the greatest.
These are like little cute tea bulbs.
This is supreme green tea.
What? Biluochun?
Can't get this anywhere outside of China.
All right, change of plans.
I'm going to make some tea.
All right, I'm going to try some of this.
I think this is just regular green tea.
Tea when it's dry shouldn't be that aromatic.
If you smell dry tea and it smells really, really good, really, really perfumey,
that's because it's perfume.
This smells just like it should.
Not too fragrant, but it still smells good.
My favorite mug from Prague.
Oh, that smells good.
Oh, yeah.
In Chinese, we say qingxiang, like a faint aromatic fragrance.
That's good tea.
Thanks so much, Amy.
Thanks for sending the tea.
All right, you know what? Drink my tea.
I think I'll go to bed. Deal with all this tomorrow.
See you in the morning.
So basically slept the whole day.
Now I gotta eat and hot pot.
I've been missing hot pot. Been in Mexico for like 10 days.
One thing I really missed was hot pot.
It's Kylie, by the way.
It's one of my favorite places.
It's got the meat halo.
Love this.
There is the meat halo.
Always got to get the meat halo when you come here.
It looks better with the pot in the middle.
It's like hot pot winter heaven.
It's got a halo of meat.
Oh, there it goes. It's over.
I've waited for this for so long. Goodbye, cow.
Oh, doesn't even look like a cow anymore.
This cucumber is so spicy.
I purposely wore a red shirt to use spicy hot pot.
Oh, it's ready. So lamb on one side and beef on the other.
Lamb and beef. First bite of hot pot in weeks.
I'm home, baby. Home for me.
From now on, it's wherever the hot pot is.
Kylie, how's my sauce?
Nothing comforts me more than hot pot.
That's it. I love it.
Yeah, dip the youtiao in a hot pot.
This is a pro move.
I think only like 30 seconds or 20-30 seconds
because you want to keep a little crunch on there.
All right, it's good. It's good.
Oh, so good. So good.
Try it.
Super thin potato.
All right, back home now.
So basically, I just went out, had a hot pot, and came back.
I feel good. I mean, I feel not good
because after a hot pot, you don't always feel—
it's a mixed feeling because you feel good
because you just had hot pot.
Then you feel not great
because you just had a really spicy hot pot.
All right, I just—I'm going to bed.
I'm still—I'm still catching up. See you in the morning.
Every time I get back from a trip,
I spend the first day in basically like a comatose state
where I can't do anything.
I don't feel like I want to do anything.
I just want to stay home and—oh, that's out of batteries.
I just want to stay home and watch TV shows,
but got to get work done.
So there's this ramen place I really want to try out
and seem to be little cafes around there.
So I'm going to go eat some ramen
and then I need to edit a video that's publishing.
I think later today or tomorrow.
Got to get back into the grind.
Can't just lay on my floor couch forever watching YouTube dramas.
The box.
Can I get a koala burger bao?
I would definitely recommend the top one up there, Tequila Boy.
It's our signature burger.
Loco Moco.
Aha. All right.
Thank you. It's my bao.
Gorgeous sunset of an egg.
Loco Moco burger.
I'm not sure what the sauce is, but this—oh, it's so pretty.
Sometimes I'm really jealous of snakes
because they can just unhinge their jaws.
That is a pretty awesome burger.
That is a really, really good burger.
This is winning my heart right now.
Perfectly cooked. That flavor is everything.
Kimchi, onions, great char from the burger.
And I'm holding the burger, like, above my buns
so all the juice and all that stuff, it just falls onto my bun.
This bun will now be my burger diaper.
That smoke in this burger is everything.
This is kind of like a sweet dip for the fries.
It's good. Pretty.
Everything is perfect.
That's such a great beef.
I mean, it tastes like a Loco Moco.
This is a good choice.
Add a little sriracha.
This is gonna be called my regular burger place.
It's just all sorts of stuff on here now.
Some burger drips, some fried eggs.
Mmm.
That's a good pork bun.
It's a very different pork bun.
I met the owner's mom,
and she said there's a miso-hungry burger next time.
I almost want to do it right now, but I got dinner plans.
Otherwise, we'll be doing a two-burger lunch.
Ah, I feel really good right now.
All right, gotta find a cafe, do some work.
They got a shiny tea here.
I love shiny tea.
Now, Western Donut.
Hi.
For the longest time, my favorite bubble tea place in New York was shiny tea.
Oh, I miss this place.
Be back soon.
The tea is always good.
Good quality tea.
All right, that video is edited,
and they're gonna upload tomorrow.
Finally home and time for dinner.
It's actually a pretty good place.
What is it like?
There's, like, nobody in there.
You just go there and work, and Wi-Fi's okay,
and they got, like, a lot of tables and plugs.
Hope their business picks up, though,
because I really hate to see that place not there anymore.
