I am happier than I should be that two people I've never met have finally met each other
For the second time
Honestly! 😂😭
Same
parasocial much 💀
Not than you should be just be happy it's a moment
This was so much fun to make! I hope you enjoy it, more episodes coming soon ❤🎉🍔
It was fun watching it ♥️👍
Looking forward to more too Joe.
Enjoyable to watch & listen to you both natural but burping is a no no
Just love watching you guys and finally together reviewing food
Please tell me you went to York for that sweet sweet yorkshire pudding wrap
Just give these two a worldwide food travel show. Loving how much joe is loving the British burgers..
Yes!
Whimpy keeping their onions in a used "I Can't Believe it's Not Butter" tub is the most British thing I've seen
🤣🤣🤣💯
Haha, I had to rewind when I first watched this. I was like “hang on a minute…surely not!” 🤣🤣🤣
that's why the food hygiene is a 3*
Not even I can’t believe it’s not butter, it’s the cheap Lidl equivalent
Only the white middle class rich punks will pay 14 pounds for a burger
Met these two guys in the street near my flat whilst they were shooting this. They were both lovely and stood to chat for a few minutes.
Yes! Great to meet you.
This is so cute
@@JoeAvella Holy shit 🥶
I love these two guys.
Simp
these two always had good chemistry in past videos, but actually seeing them together is so fun! they have even more chemistry!
i actually think its the exact opposite, British dude seems cool, American guy though, way too extra. portraying the typical "American on vacation" stereotype
@@abdaljalilalhasani6347 yeah I agree, came across as a bit obnoxious
@@lloyddavies1565He was just excited, y’all just hate seeing people happy
I hope they won't break bad
They are both modeling their usual video host personas.
I went to London for the first time in Dec 2022, and the Christmas Burger at Honest honestly changed my mind on how burgers can be defined. I would go back every year just for that.
It’s amazing isn’t it, depending on where you live? Honest Burgers are about to head outside London finally, central Birmingham is due to open later this year 🍔 🥳 OPM ( Original Patty Men ) a Birmingham independent is absolutely outstanding also, be ready to queue though especially at weekends…
I went there a few years ago before moving to the US. The burgers were good, but those rosemary fries stole the damn show! As for the burger, Annie's Burger Shack in Nottingham is far superior!
As an Londoner, Honest Burger and Burger and Beyond are both properly middle of the road compared to what else you can get here. They are fine, better than a 5 Guys or whatever, but "The best in London" is an absolutely ludicrous claim. There are dozens of bespoke, one location places that blow everything shown here out of the water.
@@ringosis that's amazing to hear! Could you please suggest a few of these family businesses, and I will make sure to visit them next time I am in London?
@@TheRealJamesWu Well there's a bit of a problem with that. Because it's London, the up and coming chefs can't afford a restaurant, so all the best burgers I've had in London have been from pop-ups, street markets and guest chefs in pubs. Like for example, The Three Compasses in Dalston hosts burger pop ups. But they rotate them out every few months for new people. One of those a couple of years back is probably the best burger I've eaten, but I've no idea what the pop up was or where it is now. Looking at their website their current popup looks pretty good but I've not tried it. There are places I think are better than Honest Burger. Patty And Bun, Lucky Chip, Four Legs, for example, but they are in the same ballpark, you might prefer Honest Burger. The best stuff I've eaten doesn't exist anymore, because it was from like a guy with a van out the back of a brewery that was only there for a month. That's kinda just how London is.
as someone who is half british, half american, it's very refreshing to see an american say appreciate that the food scene in london is not like the 90's where everyone thought food in the uk was bland - you can not only get a decent burger, but a great one too!!!
Well, English food is kinda bland, but food in London is pretty amazing.
@@greenmachine5600 False. English food is great.
The British food scene WAS bland until only recently. In fact, it was was worse than bland, it was non-existent.
'food scene'@@tomcarl8021
Joe maniacally laughing when presented with the bendy in the bun 😂😂😂
Sounded like popeye the salon man😂😂😂😂
What a weirdo
They need new presenters
He was a whiner about it.
Wtf is a bend... oh my God what is that horrid creation?
Seeing Joe and Harry interact in person is becoming one of my favorite things on YT
Totally agree their videos are great
Typical white boy in London out of touch
That Harry got to Joe part of the UK helped Joe appreciate this “Food Tour.”
Just give these two a worldwide food travel show
Or at least a UK & US tour!
Such a wholesome episode and I loved their chemistry, too. Give these guys their own segment ASAP
Two white boys middle class raised eating food is not representative of London
Whoever came up with this idea on the team, promote them immediately!!!
And convince the team to fully finance Joe’s trips regularly
@@mosthated2469 wasn’t talking bout the burgers but the video and the concept of Food Tours, dummy
Give them a raise.
And promote them OUT of the ideas department? To jail with you.
You said it sister 👏
These two look like they've been best friends for YEARS! I was soooo happy to see them together ❤️. I would like to see them both visit George in Japan. As far as the burgers, as an American - - - - DAYUM!! I wanted to visit the UK before but now even more so. Want to see castles, Buckingham palace, Big Ben, Harrods, some fish & chip shops, ride a double-decker bus, see Brighton, etc..... and now to add - burger 🍔 joints.
Edit to add: let's see Harry come to the US to try some American foods.
Tried to sneak Brighton in there 😂😂😂
@@brogant6793 what's wrong with that lmao
You really don’t wanna ride a double decker bus, not through choice anyway 😂
For the Americans confused - in the U.K. exams are like exceptionally difficult on purpose. If you are getting 90+% in Maths exams at Uni you'll start get to be recognized as a potential prodigy and they'll start throwing a lot of unsolved problems at you. Mathematical brains tend to have their perfect crossover of knowledge+creativity at like 24, so exams are more difficult than necessary for good reason. You still pass with 50%, but like in the U.S getting 90+% being an A, it's hard to focus in on prodigies and genius as easily.
Definitely would like to see more of this, love food "wars" but food "tours" is another level of brilliance
Marvel: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in history Me and Joe: hold our burgers
BELIEVE IT
I haven't had Wimpy in about 30 years. I was surprised to not only find out they were still around but that they have kept their traditional british cafe look from back then. In a way I can see they have stuck to it to try and stand out but the food looks bland and makes even basic McDonald's and Burger King burgers look exciting.
There's one near me and tbh the burgers aren't great, but they do stuff like English breakfasts very well and stuff like fish and chips decently. Judging them as a burger place is harsh. Some very good dessert options too.
@@MahiTanMazy judging a place that's main selling point is burgers on its burgers is harsh? That's the opposite of harsh
@@freddiejohnson6137 is it a burger place? Feels more like an American style diner to me
Wimpy is still very popular in South Africa. So much so that the international company is now headquartered in Johannesburg.
It's the only place you can find Lime Milkshake!!
Gentleman,I'm an expat Sth Londoner living in Edmonton Canada and haven't been back to the old country since Xmas 2019.Thanks to both of you for these London vids as they are getting me through a couple of days of homesickness eh ,you two just work ,so much chemistry. You should do Sunday Roasts next :0)
Seeing them collaborate in a video in person was like a dream I had since I started watching food wars with the US vs UK KFC back in 2020! This truly makes me happy
The chemistry and vibes for this video is great between Joe and Harry. I hope we see more of these, these rule!
Loving how much joe is loving the British burgers.
Lived in London for 4 months back in 2019. Burger and Beyond is THE best burger i've ever had. Although Bleecker is a close 2nd. I go to the Bleecker right by Victoria station at least twice every time i visit London.
For any Americans watching a car boot sale is kind of a second hand market. People go in early in their cars and park up in towns & then set up tables or mats and put out all the stuff they want to sell on them and in the boot/trunk of their car. Then an hour or two later customers can come and look around everyone’s stuff and hopefully buy it. It’s a way people can sell stuff they no longer want & stuff they have made.
The crossover we've all been waiting for! Love this, can't wait for more.
The Avengers and the Justice League have nothing on Harry and Joe.
@@jackdubz4247SO TRUE😂😂😂😂😂
What crossover are you referring to they're both white middle class have nothing about London. This fake white version London
Ah yes - the biggest reason that I've subscribed to Food Insider finally has a spinoff with my favourite host pairing up with my second favourite host. I'm looking forward to more of these.
wow your comment is very very nice
Im a regular hood dude doing food reviews on my KZhead channel 😈
I’m #1, right? 👀
@harrykersh Oh my God - hello Harry. I love your work. I'll leave it to interpretation.
@@SevenHunnid enjoy
I'm loving this new series, where you guys are meeting up! It's so funny to see Joe's reactions!
It's amazing that youve started your compare-foods-video again!! this video was top notch! entertaining hosts and mouthwatering foods to look at.
Joe's hysterical laughter of confusion gets me every time. XD
this video made my day and made me so happy. Amazing to see Harry and Joe interacting actually face to face was so much fun. Love these guys!
Great show yet again guys, great to see you in the UK together 👏
I feel that this is the spiritual successor to the early seasons of Worth It. Great chemistry between Joe and Harry.
Great comparison, I completely agree. Hope this goes on as long as Worth It.
Food in Britain has the worst reputation in the world when it’s actually, in fact, amazing!! Glad that you guys are showing the truth!
That would be because of american vets during world war 2 when rations were low.
True. Top quality ingredients and high food standards.
@@MackerelCat And none of the dangerous crud they put in US foods.
London is certainly a world class city, with the food that comes with it. Outside of it I imagine you'll still have some good choices but not a densely packed. England vs. Wales vs. Scotland might yield a better overall answer as to where British food should be rated.
When I think of British food the word bland comes to mind, all I can think of is fish and chips and pub style food, don't get mad at me I've watched to much of Kays Cooking
harry and joe's reaction brought joy energy towards me. and yeah this is one of the best food show ever!
I’m so happy to see these two finally together and not divided by a ocean filmed in a room in two different countries. It’s so great so see them together in the same place.
I love that they finally got together ❤ because when they do we get a a new show and as always its a banger! i can’t wait for the rest of this season 🎉
These 2 should have their own tv show
It’s like watching glue dry in the tube
Loved how much Joe was enjoying British food!
The guy from Chicago, who lived in New York, is fantastic sometimes. He is honest in a way we all should be honest and I love it. Just tell the truth, no matter the outcome.
Joe is so lovable, his reactions are so genuine and unsnobbish and such a joy to behold :)
Harry and Joe should do a American version, Harry go to America and Joe shows all different types of American burgers. What make will make it a perfect crossover is to have all food wars presenters in one show to meet up
Based on Joe’s reaction, I doubt he could offer anything comparable in America.
@@angemaidment5640 You are 100% incorrect.
@@LOLWAAHH he said based on his reaction bruh
If you want controversy, they should compare Phillie cheese steaks
Would take a whole series as I swear they've got 100s of different types of burgers over there lol
The stop at Wimpy was very unexpected but amazing, my great grandmother always used to proudly say she was one of the first to work at the Wimpy in my hometown. I vividly remember going when I was younger and for some bizarre reason they had a smoking and a non-smoking section, but it was all open anyway 😂
I love that they finally got together because when they do we get a a new show and as always its a banger! i can’t wait for the rest of this season
You know a video doing a good job when you pause after 5 mins, order and honest burger then finish watching the rest whilst eating it.
Ok, why are Wimpy storing onions in a tub of “I can’t believe it’s not butter”?! 😂 great video btw!
Discovered honest burgers as a student in 2014. So happy to see they’re still on top!
Honest Burger is definitely my fav. The Bristol special has cheese curds, cider gravy and shoestring fries. Absolutely heaven!
It's good seeing you together, at last. Can't wait to see you both making it to Tokyo and New Delhi.
Love this! Need more videos like this. The food looked epic. Great watch
I'm loving this show already 😍😍 They started of right with BURGERS ❤️❤️ I love that Harry & Joe have met finally. I hope Harry comes to the US and try US street food. I am happy 😊😊😊
This was awesome, and we need to see more of these in more places with more hosts etc.
I loved the food Wars series, but I find this series EVEN BETTER!! Good job Harry!
Harry and Joe together at last! This makes my heart happy 😊
honestly it hurts my heart that joe didnt try the honest burger fries, because their rosemary chips are ICONIC
This video was so well made the music the food the British guy the personalities. So awesome. Good job insider. This channel and Eater are my favourite on KZhead
Best bromance on the internet. So happy Harry and Joe have finally met. Now I'm waiting for my Avengers-type team-up with George and Nikhil. Food Wars Assemble💪🏽!!!
Finally a interactive duo. We need more episodes!!
You two are an epic partnership in person, we need more of this! Loving the burgers, will try out honest tomorrow, YUM!
👆👆Thanks for being an active subscriber💓. I have something for you🎉 message me with the above name on telegram for your prize
Loving this video and these two together. If Joe ever comes back, I'd love to see his reaction to the food at Camden Market. Or the salt beef sandwich at Borough Market.
I love like...a whole hour special of this kind of content. So good.
I need more of these videos, your chemistry is great.
I just love Joe's laugh. It's the giggle with it. Amazing stuff.
Great job guys, more of this needed.
🙋🏽♀️New Yorker here, that bendy cheese looks as good as it looks deadly! Literally perfect drunk food. I can tell London knows there drinking foods!
Love how he couldn't stop laughing at the Bendy in a bun
Thinking back to the time my sister was studying in London and Honest was always our treat dinner when I was visiting :)
Love seeing you both!! Hopefully we get a travel show with you both. Surprised you arent splitting the burgers so you both get to try each!
More videos like these pls! This was fantastic!!
Awesome vid. Its great seeing you meet up and hit some awesome burgers here in London.
Coming from a Londonite and self-described burger connoisseur, Honest Burger is far from the best. It’s a solid 7 out of 10, similar to GBK (Gourmet Burger Kitchen). They’re great, go to burger chains that are quality but affordable, hence why so many love them. But certainly there are better, independent joints that are superior. My current, personal favourite is The Truffle Burger restaurant. Highly recommend.
Appreciate the tip! I used to rave about GBK when they were a small chain but when they expanded they were nowhere near as good. My current favourite is Hache (3 branches) albeit based on a single visit 4 years ago
I love The Truffle Burger and Black Bear, but I have never tried Honest Burgers! I do find GBK, Byron’s and Five Guys underwhelming in comparison to the first two I mentioned. Another one on my try list is Shake Shack, don’t know if it should bother lol
@@JL-yh2nh Five guys is nice, just not £12 nice
@@JL-yh2nh Shake Shack doesn’t live up to Black Bear or Truffle, but arguably reigns at the top of the fast food burger list. Definitely recommend trying it though; the SmokeShack with the cherry peppers is my favourite. Also worth noting that Shake Shack is more on the expensive side like Five Guys for the portions you get.
Is there a group for people like us 🥹❤️🍔
Joe's laugh at 09.57 when the bendy is brought out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! Unfortunately now I've lust for burgers in the middle of the night. My mouth is definitely watering. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
can't say enough i love this series can't wait for the next one
If these two would do a world tour food program, would binge watch it, no doubt. Good stuff!
This is so great please make so many more of these 😁🤩
you don’t understand how incredibly happy it makes me to finally see harry and joe in one frame 😭🫶🏼
You SHOULD be Happy that you and ur family are healthy...any ways now days you read so damn coments...ppl are delusional also you a grown woman that fall on this garbage social posoin media
Yes Joe and Harry!! Finally the meeting of the two!
“London has the best food in the world” …. Proceeds to eat a curled up hot dog in a hamburger bun.
bro is absolutely losing it over british food 😂😂😂
The cool thing about honest burgers is that each location has it's own special burger.
I went to burger and beyond after seeing the first video. It's the best burger I ever had, transcendental. Bleeker burger is up there too.
Only problem is, Bleecker burger is a bit small. even after a double, I still feel I could have taken more: and they're expensive. Good.....but expensive for what you get.
Bleecker is my number 1 although your right it is abit small but quality over quantity. Foxden has elite beef, so does Black Bear Burger who I would say are both slightly better.But all very good.
For someone who has never traveled anywhere. Never been to London, but a major seafood fan, like fish and chips. Also love burgers. I think it's safe to say, London has some of the best food!!
These two were great together. More please!
Very nice videos and a good combo of you both.
They finally meet! Joe and Harry Food Tours. I ❤ it
i like the hosts they work well together very enjoyable watch
The thing I love about Burger & Beyond is it's just as good when you get it delivered. It's not cheap, but if you're having a bad day it'll pick you right up.
Great to see u together in the UK!!! Keep up the fantastic work!! 👍🏻
Londons best fried chicken next!
wow your comment is very very nice
Im a regular hood dude doing food reviews on my KZhead channel 💯
Jesus loves you all and is coming back soon! Believe in His death and resurrection and repent of your sins and be saved! Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him! Have an amazing day ❤️❤😊❤❤
Chicken connoisseur been doing that for years 😂
@@deeznuts5972 that’s not exactly fried chicken just your average chicken wings from the chicken and chip shop which could be pigeon
I lived in London for a year. My favorite burger's in London were at Wolfe's Bar & Grill in Covent Garden. I really enjoyed the food in London and ir was great since I had local friends that took me to some really great places.
Delightful way to tour London; from one burger to the next ! ❤😊
That was pretty great to witness. Looking forward to Insider going to Japan.
I miss London 😢I love all the food it has to offer.
6:34 Ahh, look at this little snail passing by the window 🤗
Started watching the video wondering if they would be featuring Honest Burgers and it's the first spot they went to. So happy. Honest Burgers is my absolute favourite burger, the local specials and the monthly specials ... they're just great.
Man I'm watching this after I had dinner and I'm craving that burger
I hope to see more of these type of videos loved it
When I was working in catering we had this American customer who was raving about our burger and left a trip advisor abour it, we then spotted on all the other restaurants in Ireland he had been also apparently made the best burger ever. Moral of the story once a burger lover always a burger lover
Really enjoyed that, whilst eating salad. Great to see you two lads finally meet up.
The EVOLUTION of Food Wars takes its next step forwards... ... And I'm 100% onboard 🇬🇧 😎
