I Visited The World's Most-Famous Grocery Store - Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati!!

that's right we are in the cincinnati area just finished up griddling on the griddle more tour and that's where we're headed to so i have heard about jungle gyms for many many years it's like nothing you have ever experienced and i'm told this is the newest location right here they have two of these places and we got some gorgeous rain it was a very hot disgusting day but there it is and all of its beauty baby jungle gyms [Music] in the front door we have an m m's nascar display i've never heard of that barbecue sauce before sushi right there shout out to real baby deja vu never heard of it cholula chili lime sweet habanero green pepper chipotle original no chili garlic i have a guy fieri funko pop that my daughter hannah gave me oh the heinz beans i think this is the british can if i'm not mistaken isn't that the can that they serve over in great britain mortar and pestle also known as a mocha hat day this is quite the grocery store baby so this is a special kitchen closeout area the cookie store i don't see it on the phone people said you're crazy why you wanna put so much money in there but i wanted to see what would happen if i could make a store that's entertaining and fun for shoppers there's actually a movie about the history of johnny jim he's pretty insane bathrooms were pretty insane as in port-a-potty bathrooms the international wall of rice i will not be able to do justice to this place i am not going to film everything but it will blow your mind grocery store with massive not small but massive sections from every country in the world does your grocery store sell hookah pipes now i actually bought a lot of stuff here yesterday i bought it some cholula chili garlic and supplies for the trailer and a lot of souvenirs to take home and i'm going to keep reminding you that i'm only going to show you a small like maybe five percent of the store these are spices that are all from the countries of jordan and turkey that's it check this out this is a five pound bag of puffed rice so that's like the size of a 40 pound bag of white rice look how light this is this is all stuff from india here again reminding you check that out that i'm only going to show you a tiny tiny percentage of this place it would it would take days if not weeks to catalog this whole place this is insane and don't think that they just have dried goods we're talking the refrigerated stuff dairy products even from pretty much every country in the world i'm not a big fan of fish sauce i'm sorry [Music] there's a brand of ramen you have never heard of before [Music] if i lived here i'd be in trouble i actually bought one of these here yesterday i believe this is what they call li himwi in chinese or in polynesian culture and it's a dried plum actually it's an acquired taste i kind of like them so i bought one of those here yesterday [Music] if you're into kimchi this is their kimchi section let's just pick one at random here huge sections from every country in the world here so if you live near here and you were from the country of jordan or maybe you were from myanmar from burma they've got you covered i you just have never ever seen a grocery store like this picked up a few of these yesterday as well and i even picked up some of these i have them in my suitcase right now this looks really appealing to me i don't know if i need it as you walk around you see stuff like soy sauce from literally every country in the world i bought some of these yesterday and had them in the cooler and they were ice cold and they were delicious oh mama now there's something i can relate to i have toasted thousands of these this year this is funny hannah calls our dog piper chonky trunky perfect for chunky who needs this like the walker shortbread i'm not even sure what country this is here that looks russian this is absolutely not an exaggeration every single aisle has olive oil from whatever country section you're in so this is olive oil from greece still honing in on that cholula baby original green bell pepper ah check it out front tierra shout out to rick bayless the guy who taught me how to say makahate and there is the man right there probably the greatest living mexican chef at least the greatest living mexican chef in america and even more there and who doesn't love an ice cold mexican coca-cola and of course all the mexican sweet treats they've got it all here even a fire truck that's right folks a fire truck they have one of if not the largest collections of hot sauces in the world here i want to put this in perspective okay this is all hot sauce as in these huge aisles this is all hot sauce okay as in this is all hot sauce this is the stuff that's so hot they have to keep it locked up do you like texas pete well oh baby get yourself a whole gallon of texas pete that's a little bit bigger than those chick-fil-a sized pouches another cholula sighting if there's a kind of hot sauce that you like chances are you can get a limited edition gallon of it this would blow your mind i mean this would absolutely blow your mind you have never seen anything like this i am literally still looking at hot sauces they just keep going and going i apologize if you see a bottle with something unsavory on it you know a lot of them try to use the shock factor and have rude and crude stuff on their bottles desiree hungry hussy all you people that love dukes leprechaun brought me some of the tony paco's stuff last year everglades seasonings in florida oh yeah i've got a bottle of that at home barbecue sauce section

telling raul and felicia to come in they're here so amazing we had an amazing day today didn't we guys it rained oh what do you guys think about jungle gyms oh my god oh it's beautiful a lot of things to eat this place is phenomenal so you live in acapulco uh you grew up there you live in san antonio texas is this bigger than the grocery stores down there yes this place is amazing this blew my mind yesterday the biggest selection of jams jellies 100 pure maple syrup and honey that you will ever see in your life [Music] come on that reminds me of my dream buck growing up in pennsylvania we'll just grab one at random here pennsylvania baby we'll grab another one at random here and just see where it's from georgia friends i mean no joke this place is bigger than a walmart absolutely bigger than a walmart you've never seen anything like this i mean my battery is running out of my phone and i'm trying my best to at least get some of the highlights i'm in the health food section now they've got it all they've got the xevia drinks which i love but i don't drink much carbonation anymore here in the morning they've got a kombucha bar this is a great new snack on the market we bought a few bags of these and they are so good basically taking popcorn and fashioning them into a chip you're eating organic or you're eating vegan they've got it they've got it all here yeah todd but where's the pork well it's right here if there's something i'm not showing you it's because i just i'm getting to the point where i don't want to film anything they've got it all here yeah todd but do they have lunchables of course they do they've got sausages made right here in the queen city they've got their own brand of jungle gyms sausages they've got brands like nathan's and johnsonville's and brands that you don't find in colorado baby but i wish i had a cast iron skillet to be able to cook my food in and they have the good hams here baby the sugar and the salt cured hams man and there is jungle jim himself right there an absolutely massive seafood section here anything you could possibly want i wish i had an octopus they don't have a wolf right there's your octopus even a boat that says purple people eater if you're into eating mollusk then you've got it 1650 caliber mark 7 gun and they have a bakery here too look at this custom orders tons of beef jerky they've got moon cheese absolutely massive boar's head section it is a grocery store so you're going to get all the produce the most beautiful produce i've ever seen [Music] i'm absolutely not kidding you here you could spend the entire day in this place i've never seen anything like it [Music] stoke coffee made in colorado and don't forget this is a grocery store so it isn't a gimmick it's a full mega mega grocery store but they also have these incredible things too so i've never seen anything like this it is literally like they took a building the size of a walmart or way bigger and they mixed in world market by like 10 times bigger threw in a couple of trader joe's and if you ever watch the mark wiens food channel on on youtube it's like every market he has ever been to in asia and around the world combined i just i can't even explain this place an actual full-size nascar like an actual nascar hanging on the wall graeter's ice cream this is a local ice cream that is so good last time i was here the place i went to didn't have much of an option and i got this the black raspberry and it was out of this world they have a beer and an alcohol section that i don't know i would probably say it's as much as ten thousand square feet i don't drink so doesn't interest me i just kind of ignore it and hands down the largest selection of cheeses from around the world that i've ever seen oh there's a night they got it oh i like this english they got it they've got it all any kind of cheese you could ever ever dream of oh yeah baby perfect for quesadillas queso quesadilla [Music] queso chihuahua this is good stuff use a lot of that this is also good stuff we used lots of bottles of the herdes taqueria sauce on tour so highly recommended i however like my pork rinds already fried look at that man it's like octopus all right i would definitely use all of these on a very regular basis i need a mascot i might be showing you 25 percent of this store i i just cannot even you would have to come here and if you come here unless you plan an entire day you are not seeing this whole store some of the most beautiful cutting boards and butcher blocks that you have ever seen here [Music] growing up one of my dad's favorite candies was necco wafers i'm not a big fan of neko anymore although i ate them as a kid but my dad's other favorite candy black crow's licorice love them love them love them fold the gummy section as in full size life-size breakfast gummies life-size gummy donuts life size like one and a half pound watermelon slices the giant five pound gummy bears they've got it boy i'm bringing home a lot of gifts this time more pez than you can shake a stick at a whole row of nothing but warheads cosmetics shampoo all that stuff atlas or some weird egyptian god lifting weights oh so going back to my analogy that i told you about earlier it's like you took all the stores and added a buckies to it uh a couple of cracker barrel general stores i mean an on and on and on growing up in pennsylvania clark bars were very popular i love this brand of candy and as a kid i used to love these bun maple candies oh they've got a toy section as well so if you want toys they've got toys they have a massive local section here with nothing but cincinnati stuff there's skyline chili all kinds of local stuff from cincinnati does your grocery store have relaxation chairs heading up to the checkout line you can see they've got just about everything so i'm leaving jungle gyms one of the coolest places i have ever been to highly recommended if you're in the cincinnati area i know i might be a little different but wow what a cool place what a cool sky i hope to make it back to jungle gyms with my family one day
