SHORT RIB Pho! & BEST Burger in Seattle???

kind of a cloudy day in seattle hey good morning i feel like since i moved here the weather has just been not rainy it's been pretty sunny and even if it does ring it's like just for like an hour or so so i kind of feel like i'm getting shipped here as someone who loves ring house is a mess i uh it's been unpacking and trying to settle in and film videos and it's a mess so i'm coming up with uh strictly dumpling plushie it's not for sale yet i'm just trying to make this better but it's cute right i think finally i've been here about a week it's time to just start exploring the area a little bit so today and maybe tomorrow it's just gonna be a massive two days of just going around and trying out all the food places i wanted to try i made a list uh and people sent me recommendations so i'm gonna go start eating my way around this area and streaming at the same time if you don't know i actually stream uh twitch.tv with mikey the link is down below so if you want to catch me live check out my stream let's go the first place i'm going to um is right by my apartment actually it's a hunan restaurant it's supposed to be really popular in this area i also just want to give a shout out to hello fresh who's sponsoring this video we'll do some cooking later this is the redmond town center this is like very close to my house so i have food joints very close to my house this is the craziest thing look at this georgia peach flavor coca-cola and california raspberry coke i've never seen this before we gotta we gotta get this whoa this is pretty much insane you know what that tastes pretty darn good i mean actually tastes like a real peach like not artificial chunky peach but it's like i picked a peach and an orchard and shoved it in my coke bottle this is better than regular coke and the place we're going to today this location has very mixed reviews so we'll see if it's good and it's supposed to be hunan food so spicy without the numbiness this is the place who none don't seem true it's nice uh nice sunny name so you sit here by yourself it's kind of cool so she recommended two beef dishes to me one of them is their like number one bestseller beef dish the other is like just a really spicy beef dish so i got two beef dishes coming up uh they don't have any little appetizers here which i'm kind of sad about and i got some tea this should be a good meal still only chinese people here now the thing is chinese people they will go to any place in the world if the service is horrendous they don't care as long as the food is good chinese people will show up if the food is good or it's good and cheap chinese people show up service be damned we don't care so i'm thinking this food is going to be pretty alright so after surveying other tables and seeing what other people ordered i got two more dishes there's a dish that's like they served you in that little grinder thing as an eggplant dish and i saw there's some crazy rib dish covered in chilies i want that as well four massive dishes they told me there's no way i'll finish it whatever if i don't finish i'll take it home i gotta try it off first dish spicy pork belly with chili peppers oh my good lord this looks like double cooked pork and some onions sliced garlic look at the slices of pork belly you can smell the chilis for sure i mean this is going to be a spicy dish [Music] [Music] it's not that spicy but it is fatty it's gonna smoke because these these chilies they're not like the spicy type but it's a really smoky fact a little sweet little smoky [Music] and then the pork belly what else can you say about pork belly has been said [Music] everything you love in life what i love about this they have black bean sauce in here which just makes all meat dishes even better and they have a lot of bacon in here too this is a really good dish to go with your rice because it's very saucy it just makes the rice better this is the beef dish so this is the beef with cilantro and chilies and this is supposed to be the spicier dish that is spicy but it's very very aromatic you guys like cilantro you like that nice flavor this is full of that the beef is really tender too the sauce is pretty simple just a little soy sauce based ingredients here it's just really about how centered this meat fish and it's chilly just like it just slaps you around a little bit this is eggplant it comes in this like this grinder thing i don't think there's any meat in here this is just pure eggplant broken up eggplant i don't think this is very spicy well this smells so nice it's got that you some flavor to it so a little sweet a little spicy 1000 year old eggs i love it's it's a good eggplant dish like if you're a vegetarian coming here this is a good dish right oh they also got tiger chilis i like the tiger chili it's sweet it's basically a stir-fried incline dish um they just stir-fry this little oil a little soy sauce little yu sound sauce these are oven roasted ribs this is a hunan specialty i had this in new york too chili garlic onions spices on top my only criticism with this is that the outside is really good with the spices the inside the flavor hasn't penetrated all the way to the bones so although it's really tender and good the more you bite on the inside the less flavorful you got still good i still will get this next time though so far loving this place came back for the raspberry coke yeah raspberry cold not nearly as good as peach coke get the peach coke skip the raspberry coke [Music] so i've been here for about a week now um i haven't really got my bearing i don't i don't know exactly where everything is today i'm hitting a cambodian noodle joint is supposed to be amazing and this ice cream place looks really good both recommendations from my friend elizabeth good luck at the world championship of poker in vegas first time but yeah i'm slowly trying to figure this place out you know all what's good to eat around here so far really enjoying this area i mean the weather is nice it doesn't rain as much as you would think it hasn't rained like much as i got here if it does ever rains for like an hour or so [Music] about 5 10 this place opens at five it's already lying out the door thank you this is definitely a very hip play not as spicy as i thought very aromatic there's little anchovies in here i like the lime leaves this does remind me of that the chinese peanuts pompe home but i like the additional lime leaves that's very surgical so this one little anchovies on top [Music] [Music] i really love this noodles are so chewy tons of flavor in the beef [Music] a little crunchy anchovies like the texture it very much got a lot of depth a lot of umami flavoring a lot of crunch the soup is good because it's not as uh as seasoned as the noodles so it gets sort of a relief there's not too much overbearing only complaint is that i wish there was more noodles because there's tons of beef so you can end up with a lot more of the seasoning and beef the noodles itself which is kind of sad so another serving of noodles in here will really help this out right that was a solid place the food took a while to come because i think i was one of the last ones of the first week to get in there so my noodles took like an hour but man those are good noodles i mean you could tell they made it fresh in-house homemade noodles just has its own uh chewiness texture that's something you can't buy but overall yeah i can see why they're busy great place good food next up uh maybe something sweet something bubbly um this place is known as the in-n-out burger of seattle let's give it a try it's supposed to be the best in seattle it's very orangey if you're wondering what a dessert is burgers dessert right burger counts i mean it's juicy oh and they got old-fashioned ice cream so everything is cooked fresh okay so i got a deluxe burger which is a two patty which is a quarter of a pound of beef this is the burger it does look very much like an old-fashioned burger it's all crumbly and uh messy the buns look like just typical you know buns you'll buy at a grocery store and that's really not a knock against it it looks like like a simple messy good burger that you know reminds me of what i had when i was younger really beefy it's a bit sweet i'm thinking that's from the mail price point is pretty similar to in and out but i don't think this would come here you can tell it's very crushed i like the quality of the beef but it's not exactly on anyone else level that's good burger for three 340 for this you should not go to mcdonald's you should come here and eat this it's a good burger but not in an hour let's go strawberry ice cream i love classic strawberry ice cream every place i've been to so far in this area 340. 340 won't even get you a cup of tea right here a burger two dollars for a nice cup of ice cream can't complain about that now you can't just eat all day um i went to a great hunan restaurant uh good noodle place great little place nice burger place now it's time to burn it all off so going back to the apartment we're gonna begin the workout usually my day has two workouts i try to do them once in the morning once at night so i don't have to spend two three hours doing it but today i didn't get to do that i was lazy i ate all day i had to live stream give me a long workout i'll take you with me though i always start a workout with uh cardio uh what's great about this place is that i'm so close to this crazy long bike path things like 26 mile bike path before i just used to run like five miles a day now i bike like 10 12 miles a day takes like an hour so i'll do this for an hour then we'll hit the gym for another hour hour and a half sounds like a plan [Music] now the other bad thing is uh i do ride through a lot of bugs and they just fly right into my mouth i guess it's a good way to get my protein [Music] good workout sorry i didn't film the whole thing got too caught up in lifting um i gotta go to bed uh tomorrow another food day see you then good morning gotta do some errands this morning gotta get a washington state license plate it's not easy [Music] this place they supposedly have this rib far that's amazing this is my first dish the unfortunate cookie it's just broken up cookie and peanuts the summer roll this looks good but what the heck i'm going to eat this it doesn't taste bad fortune cookies are good quinoas are good sweet and salty of crunch this looks good [Music] it's a lot thinner a lot of the other rolls i have that's very very bad very fresh i don't know about this stuff i gotta make this every day in my old restaurant my parents's old restaurant all we had were fortune cookies that nobody wanted oh my god yes look at this i'm so happy i am so so so happy i love it when dinosaur bone starts showing up in my pho oh my god and this whole bowl was only 15 this in new york would be like like 15 and if you want the extra bones would be like five bucks per ball or something how crazy is this oh so good that is the beef flavor i wanted all my stuff so happy so happy little sriracha i'm not even gonna add that much because this broth doesn't need it i just want a little hint of spice oh my gosh [Applause] it's so good one of the most tender ribs i love sucking on that little collagen a little fat i'm gonna be coming back here alive noodles are springy nice great as well this bowl is so beefy i love this place already oh there's 15 bucks that's a really good deal probably the most satisfying meal i had in seattle so far but his foot is everything to me everything words cannot express how much i'm loving this right now i am fulfilled i had to come back yeah this place highly highly highly recommended
