Great video Jon
Glad to hear you say shake shack is better than in and out. In and out is so overrated, so that bar was low.
Thin Cookies > Thick Cookies
JAMES IS FUTURE CANOE!!!!!!!
Food reviewer but never heard of coleslaw on a sandwich
That wind was coming for your cookies! 🤣 Great video!
@17:41 sounds like rocket racoon
Another fun & interesting watch!👍
Norma Norma Norma Las Vegas👍
It's so Fluffies 😆 (the Norma fans get it! 😂) great video. You two work so well together. An almost in n out burger with fries you can eat 😆 sold!
Another fun, food inspiring video. Norma was fun too. It surprised me when you said you never had cole slaw on a sandwich before. I live in a Pittsburgh suburb. Have you ever heard of Primanti Brothers? That is where you will find our most well known sandwich, it has meat, cole slaw, tomatoes, French fries on Italian bread. They have been around since 1933 and I think there are about 15 or 16 locations, in the strip, airport, stadiums etc. I really think you should come down here and try it! The story goes it originated for the truck drivers to have something to eat with one hand while they drove their products in and out of the strip district warehouses. To be honest I like the sandwich but I take off the French fries! Most people love it. The original Primanti's is in the Strip District t and that's where I would advise you to go. It's the real deal.
Jon needs to come to the OC. It has way better food, better weather, and easier to get around.
She looks like she is wearing a bra. she zipped up her hoody to finally cover herself up. its a food review. 🤣
Yinz need to come to Pittsburgh and get a Primanti's sandwich.. vinegar based coleslow, meat, cheese and fresh cut fries on Italian bread. It was initially made for the truck drivers in the strip district where the produce for the area came in. Plus we have excellent Pizza. Even ask Mr. One Bite.
how are they allowed to advertise as better than crumbl?
High Life burger wow!
We are having a Viking festival in heysham on July 19th check us out hope you come down shout from England
I love Fluffies!!! Originated in NJ, I don’t know about NYC location if it has the same quality, my favorite are the bowl
Bro is the CEO of never combing his hair
Pro tip: try snorting powered sugar!
Nice to see Norma in New York! I enjoy her content in Las Vegas.
Hey Jon great video!! It was great meeting you in Jackson Heights, Queens yesterday… im the guy with the little suit case and the durag on… your a very kind person
here for norma. sadly no pool review.
Thanks for the great content! (But if I am going to have a cookie, I want a thicker/doughier/stuffed one. And I also prefer Insomnia Cookies in general).
Norma is bomb ass gorgeous. You're a good man for being faithful to your girlfriend and not even trying anything.
Everything to me looked delicious as I can’t have any of it being in Australia so I wouldn’t know any different lol
Definitely bigger than In and out burgers…larger patties
Not THAT hard to be Better than Crumbl since Crumbl is Pretty mediocre! We have a Much better mini-chain of cookie shops here in Southern California here called Batch and Box that puts Crumbl to SHAME!
Nice video ! Thanks ! Special greetings to your cameraman James ! He does a great job !
Another fun video!
Was she being held against her will to film this?
