An Italian tries Southern BBQ for the first time!

I hope you're ready to eat, Amore. What are we going to eat? Today, we're having a full spread of barbecue at Puckett's. Puckett's. Which used to be a local grocery store, and then they opened a couple of restaurants in town. Apparently, this is the best barbecue in the United States. If you know, in calculation, Texas. That's a bold claim, Amore. It is what I read online. We're going to have to try it and see. Try it and see. Let's move on from Texas. OK, Texas. Don't. Don't get angry. Music from Texas. For starting, water, no ice. Really sad, right? So what do we order? The whole menu, basically. Are you all ready? We are. You can set that in that chair if you want to. That way you have a little bit more room. Oh, that's amazing. OK, so your mild wings. These are our fried pickles. And these are the cheese fries. This is amazing. We have blue cheese and ranch. Perfect. And this is the secret sauce. And that is our barbecue chipotle ranch. We cannot. Oh, OK. But don't say what is in there. We can't. No. Who's that? You, you. You're really excited. Let's go. Tell me if I'm eating wrong, like I need to. I'm going to let you do it. Look at this. Wow. What is this? Do you remember at Loveless when you had that fried green tomato pimento cheese biscuit? Yeah. It's the pimento cheese fried. Wow. Ten of the ten. Immediately. I'm excited. Best pimento cheese I've ever had. Yeah. What is this sauce? I don't know. Cigarette. She said cigarette. Incredible, right? Ten of the ten immediately. Have you ever had a fried pickle before? No, I never had a fried pickle. But I need to say, already, I hate pickles. You already know from New York and whatever. So. Well, you've never had a fried pickle. I never had a fried pickle. Dip it in the cigarette sauce. OK, just three people now. Ooh. Spicy? Spicy, but really good. Maybe the sauce. Hot. I think we need to wait this because the juice can burn you. OK, gotcha. But I evaluation the pickles. Pickles need to be fried on and on for my life. Score? Eight. Straight 10 out of 10. Yeah. This is the best fried pickles I've ever had. It's you eat one, and you want to eat another one. All right, Amore, now we go. What are you doing? Guys, I need all the camera there, how I can. You wipe off with a napkin. Wings are eaten with your hands, Amore. I'm not going to let you be ridiculed in the comments for your knife on your fork. Thank you for saving me. Stuff or no stuff? Definitely stuff. You can either choose your blue cheese or your ranch. OK. I'm going blue cheese. Wow. 10 out of 10, immediately. Have you ever had a wing before like that? Barbecue wing? With this kind of sauce on the top? No. It's different sauce on top. It's not normal chicken wing. It is like we doing a lot in the pan, they are amazing in Italy. But this has something, a saucy, it's done really good. I'm going to go with this one. What are you? My God, what is that? So, Cassie, what happened? What happened? You eat wings like this? I don't know. Messy, but 10 out of 10. I need to see that trick. I'm in heaven right now. This is some of the best food I've ever had. Go for it. So, like this? Get your wing, yeah. Then? Well, flip it upside down. You're upside down. Yeah. Use your fingers and squish it. Slide it down. I thought I'm a king. What are you doing? Oh, there you go. You got it. Why'd you break the bone of Billy? For show my power. Oh, wait. Oh, my gosh, okay. Wow. There it is. Wow. Thank you. You are very welcome. Remember me, again, this. The ribs, that's a smoked chicken brisket, and that's our pork. Those are collard greens. That's the slaw and baked beans. Baked beans. And then coleslaw. Coleslaw. Mac and cheese. Potato salad. Green beans and mashed potatoes and brown gravy. These are homemade corn cakes. We make them fresh here every morning, and they're very, very good. Oh, I'm so excited. Cornbread with a little spice. Yes. Perfect. Me fighting this. I want to try this sauce. He's going rogue. No, don't go together. That's why they didn't put it on the same plate. Totally wrong. Sorry, you guys. I'm just in time. Let's start. Nice little salad with this cream, I don't know what that is. You should probably eat it with something. Let me try it. Collard greens. Beans. Hangover today. Not even questioning. So complex. Yes. It's like one flavor, then it hits with another one. Amazing, amazing coleslaw. It's just vegetable. Those are the collard greens. Hey, wait, because you're going to go. Best collard greens. What the hell they are, they're beans. Those are another level. Another level. Those are the best beans in the world. Okay, this is the brisket. I don't know what is the brisket. Beef brisket, it's a type of barbecue. It's a beef brisket. What part? I have no idea. I was having pears. Let's try this. Pulled pork. Oh my God, it's butter, it's melting in there. This is the best place, barbecue, in the United States. I agree. Oh, you don't need the knife. Look at that, it fell right off. I need to stop saying, oh, yeah, I mean, but. Wow. All right. This is the deal. So if you need a comparison, thing of the thing, I need to go down that one. Everything is thing of the thing, but I don't have a metric. That, I think you're just gonna have to cut off at the table. Maybe this is the knife, or. There you go. Here's that particular sauce. It is wonderful. Never ate so good in my life. I always, in Italy, always, we say, America knows when they're talking about barbecue. Oh, I feel it's butter. Butter. Everything is melty. Like, the touch of the tongue, it's melty. I'm emotional. I love brisket. This is your move. Yeah. I know Texas is the home of good beef brisket, but this is really good, too. But what we have Texas beef on, pulled pork. What I told you. You don't need a. More. Exactly, you don't need even two. It's just go. I'm having a spiritual experience right now. Ribs. Whatever's on those is incredible. Yeah. Now the hard part to remove it. I'm gonna just do like what you did. Just gonna eat it. Yeah. I guess. Yeah. I can only taste something. What the hell is that? Tell me. I need to ask. What is that? It is. This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't understand. What is that juicy coming? Secret rub on the. Something. Chicken. Yeah. Incredible, beautiful moment. I mean, this is. Look how they are perfectly made. Yeah. It's Southern style. Bacon on top. Yeah, with the little crumbles. This is the best macaroni and cheese ever. If this is Southern. Oh. This is. It's not possible. This is not macaroni and cheese. This is something else. I feel like you're having an awakening. I'm sorry. Mashed potatoes with gravy. Mm-hmm. I don't believe it. I'm eating mashed potatoes. You're gonna cry. Okay, green beans has to be just green beans. You cannot make more flavor to the green beans. Okay, America? Forget about New York. I buy a house. I live in here, so. I don't know what I said. I'm still learning. I'm not moving. Okay, potato salad. Potato salad. Okay, I need to say. In Italy, they do the potato salad. It's really good. My mom, because she's American, she knows what she's doing. Wow. With cheese? Cheese? What is this? I have no idea. I cannot recognize what is the flavor. I'm gonna. Wait, you have one more thing. One more thing. The homemade corn cakes made fresh daily. Show that corn cake. Looks like pancakes. In the beginning, I said, oh, it's green pancakes. Oh my goodness. I've never seen you so quiet. You know what it means when I'm quiet. I know. This is. You're speechless. Best food ever in the United States. Forget about people. Macaroni and cheese salad. Oh, this you know probably because she's from here. Oh, I love macaroni and cheese. Incredible. Mushroom. Oh yeah. Whoa, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's just heckling. Explain to you guys what flavor experience I'm having right now. Incredible. Green beans, another level. Let's try this mystery potato salad. What is that? I don't know. It's incredible. What is it?

This is delicious. This is delicious, right? Okay, this is one of the best food experiences we've ever had in the United States. I told you. If not the best. The internet known lie. This is the best place in United States. In United States. I'm ready to. Let's dig on. And this, another thing is really amazing. The chicken, I know. I like it. It comes off of our smoker. All three of them, all four of those meats did. That flavor that it adds is really good. Corn cake. Try my combination. It's good. It's a pickle. I made something. I know. I'd say there's one out there right now. Not good. Hey, y'all. I have my barbecue with me today. I need to improve my accent, but I made it. That was terrible. But you got your food for later.
