00:00 - I love giraffes, I know a lot of giraffe facts.
00:02 They watch TV, they just like stare off into the sky
00:05 at the same direction and it's like giraffe la la land.
00:08 Nobody knows why they do it and they all do it
00:10 at the same time in the same direction.
00:12 It's really weird.
00:13 - You both do that.
00:15 - No I do, I do.
00:16 - You both do that on a shoot, you both go.
00:18 - I feel it too.
00:20 - Yeah, this is.
00:21 Hey guys, it's Adriana and we are back on dry land
00:25 in my homeland of Florida.
00:27 No, actually we're about an hour away
00:29 from Orlando in Tampa, Florida.
00:31 You guys know we went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
00:34 The wind is blowing, the flora and the fauna are swaying
00:39 and I am living.
00:41 And we had such a great time that we needed to go
00:43 to the OG park, so we are in Busch Gardens Tampa.
00:48 Busch Gardens Tampa is kind of like a theme park
00:50 and a safari, had a baby.
00:52 So we are gonna see all types of animals,
00:54 lions, tigers, bears, oh my, no, I'm just joking.
00:57 We're gonna see giraffes and rhinos and elephants.
01:02 It's gonna be such a fun adventure.
01:04 But most importantly, we're gonna try all of the food.
01:06 With this being an OG theme park,
01:08 we're gonna see some crazy concoctions,
01:10 a breakfast funnel cake, a Sunday funnel cake,
01:13 hot dogs, pretzels, barbecue, all types of food.
01:16 We gotta try it all.
01:18 This is Iconic Eats.
01:20 (upbeat music)
01:26 You can hear the roller coaster,
01:28 (imitates roller coaster)
01:29 and then look at the sign.
01:31 They're on a roller coaster.
01:32 Let's go.
01:33 (upbeat music)
01:36 The breakfast of champions.
01:50 This is the bacon maple bacon,
01:53 AKA the breakfast funnel cake.
01:55 A theme park staple is a funnel cake.
01:59 And this feels like ambrosia
02:00 because who decided it was a good idea to take a funnel cake,
02:03 put some bacon on it and call it breakfast.
02:05 And then it's like swimming.
02:07 You see that little pool down there?
02:09 It's just like swimming in a pool of maple syrup.
02:12 And of course there's ice cream.
02:14 So you can get a mini version
02:15 that doesn't have the ice cream on it.
02:16 That's truly more breakfast.
02:19 But why would you not get the ice cream
02:21 and start your day with, you know,
02:23 breakfast of the theme park champions?
02:26 I can go the distance after this.
02:28 Okay, look, I'm gonna break it off
02:30 and then I'm gonna dip it in my maple pool.
02:33 And then, oh, get at least a little scoop of the ice cream,
02:36 but with the bacon on it.
02:38 This is the perfect bite.
02:39 It's the perfect bite.
02:40 Amen.
02:43 Chelsea, we got to start strong.
02:46 - Are you feeding me protein?
02:48 - Yeah.
02:49 Get you some bacon with some ice cream on it.
02:53 - This is...
02:54 - Cheers.
02:56 - Not mad about it.
02:58 Oh, it's so good.
03:00 - This breakfast.
03:01 Julia, come on, come get your breakfast.
03:03 Eat your protein.
03:04 Om nom nom.
03:05 Let's get another one.
03:06 (laughs)
03:08 (upbeat music)
03:11 - This is our second funnel cake.
03:26 And it's a monster.
03:28 This is the monster funnel cake.
03:30 It is a double stack funnel cake.
03:34 So there's chocolate candies, chocolate swirls.
03:36 There is a heap of chocolate crumbles.
03:40 And then there's peanuts.
03:42 It's just, it's a concoction
03:44 that only a monster would order.
03:46 And they got the right person for the job.
03:48 Let's try.
03:49 We'll start with a little, a palate cleanser.
03:52 Leave it up to me to say that a palate,
03:54 ice cream is a palate cleanser.
03:57 - If you drop that or if a seagull swoops in, I will laugh.
04:00 - It's a two-hander.
04:01 Okay, wait, wait, wait.
04:01 This is, this is very important theme park work
04:05 that I'm doing right now.
04:07 I'm holding it with one side
04:09 and then I'm pulling with the other.
04:11 Oh my God.
04:12 Look at it.
04:13 Oh, oh wait, wait, it was a lot.
04:15 I really wanted to eat this like a lady,
04:16 but I feel like the appropriate thing
04:18 is to just shove it in my mouth.
04:21 I feel like a five-year-old.
04:23 - All right, well now let's get you a beer plate.
04:25 - I didn't even review it.
04:26 It's massive.
04:27 You need a family.
04:28 You need a family and a five-year-old,
04:30 specifically a five-year-old.
04:31 Because how are you gonna get through this much sugar?
04:34 But then you're gonna get on rides
04:35 and it's gonna be a good day.
04:37 I would not order this by myself.
04:40 It is massive, but it's a good treat
04:42 for like either starting the day or ending the day.
04:47 But don't do it in the middle.
04:48 I feel like it would just be too much.
04:50 Now I need beer to wash all the sugar down.
04:52 (upbeat music)
04:55 Are we seeing our first animal?
05:00 Where's the little baby?
05:03 - They're so far away.
05:04 - I know.
05:06 - I just want to pet the murder kitten.
05:08 - The murder kitten.
05:09 Fun fact, I'm doing a Julia now.
05:11 Busch Gardens Tampa is a fully accredited zoo.
05:15 So all of the animals you guys are seeing today
05:20 are being very, very well taken care of.
05:22 And there's so many strict guidelines
05:24 on how they get that accreditation.
05:26 And they have so many conservation programs
05:28 and programs in which they are releasing these animals,
05:32 rehabilitating them and releasing them back into the wild.
05:34 I'm going to tell you more about it as we go,
05:36 but let's go get me some beer.
05:38 (upbeat music)
05:41 For old elephant foot.
05:51 That sounds like a Chelsea beer, old elephant.
05:53 She's like, it's a IPA from a brewery in Tampa.
05:58 It's so good.
05:59 This is an all day drinking beer.
06:01 (upbeat music)
06:04 So we're at the giraffe bar at the Serengeti Overlook
06:11 and it's overlooking these really beautiful giraffes.
06:15 They're going to come and feed them in a minute.
06:17 So like, they're going to be eating a snack.
06:19 We're going to be drinking beer.
06:21 It's going to be good.
06:22 This is the toucan flight.
06:24 Come on, Chelsea, let's do this.
06:26 This is the mango cart.
06:29 We have had this before at the Bush Gardens in Williamsburg.
06:32 So I am happy to see an old friend again.
06:36 I know I like this.
06:37 I know it's sweet.
06:38 Let's go.
06:39 I've never been like,
06:42 "Mm, beer, so refreshing."
06:44 But today I do feel like that.
06:47 But y'all know I don't have words.
06:53 (laughs)
06:55 Tell us what that tastes like.
06:57 - It tastes as delicious
06:58 as what those giraffes are eating.
07:00 - I know, they need a drink too.
07:03 This is the graffiti orange wheat.
07:05 It is apparently a cream sickle wheat.
07:08 It smells tropical.
07:12 Oh, I think that's a little bit more sour than I thought
07:18 it was going to taste.
07:19 I'm definitely getting orange.
07:22 And I can see where you'd be like,
07:25 "This is a cream sickle."
07:27 But it's also a little sour.
07:28 Taste that.
07:29 Is that good?
07:33 - It tastes like a beer that you would get
07:35 from an ice cream truck.
07:37 - The animals are so cute
07:38 and they're very much distracting me.
07:40 So let's just get back to the task at hand,
07:43 which is me pretending that I am a beer connoisseur.
07:47 Which you all know, I am not.
07:50 Y'all already know how I feel about beer.
07:52 I wish I was more sophisticated
07:53 to tell you what this tastes like.
07:55 I'm not going to play like I'm a beer connoisseur.
07:58 I'm not a beer girl.
08:00 I'm not a beer person.
08:01 This is Passion of the Heights.
08:03 So it's passion fruit, duh.
08:09 Wow immediately tastes as it knows that it's passion fruit.
08:12 It's very tropical hibiscus.
08:14 Sophisticated lady.
08:18 All right, last one.
08:19 This one is You're My Boy Blue.
08:21 I don't, I'm going to be able to,
08:24 oh my gosh, this one smells like sweet tea.
08:27 Okay.
08:31 I feel like this is a very specific memory for me,
08:32 but there used to be like a variety tea pack
08:34 that you would get from Walmart.
08:36 And like all of the packaging was really colorful
08:38 and it had like blueberry and like strawberry
08:40 and like all of these,
08:41 and it's like, I feel like every kid got into tea
08:43 from that variety pack.
08:44 This tastes like one of the teas in that.
08:47 From my childhood, I can't tell you specifically which one,
08:49 but I was carted back to being seven
08:52 and drinking tea and thinking I was fancy.
08:55 I like it.
08:56 It's a little bit bitter.
08:56 I think you'll like it.
08:57 I think this is the one you'll say,
08:58 "This is an all day drinking beer."
09:01 - Oh yeah, accurate.
09:02 All day drinking beer.
09:04 - Cheers.
09:05 Okay, so this one's for you.
09:07 This one's for me.
09:08 We'll cheers it out and move to our next location.
09:10 - And not get too wasted for the camera crew.
09:13 - No.
09:14 Let's go.
09:21 We're going to the very VIP annual pass member lounge.
09:26 You have to have a pass in order to get up here.
09:28 You guys know I love VIP experiences.
09:30 Let's go.
09:32 I know I dropped a little drip in my beer.
09:34 Sorry.
09:35 Come on in to the lounge.
09:38 We're inside the map room.
09:40 So first thing, there are charging stations
09:43 on every single chair.
09:45 Do you guys understand how premium that is?
09:47 And so many times I am out of battery and I'm like,
09:50 "Where's the outlet?
09:51 Where's the outlet?"
09:52 And then, or somebody's using the outlet.
09:54 Everybody here is going to be able to use the outlet.
09:56 Two.
09:57 They got two outlets.
09:58 But if you are perpetually on 5% like me, you understand.
10:02 We are inside the pass member lounge.
10:04 Like I said before,
10:06 one of the things you can get in here is vegetable samosas.
10:08 So this is one of the plant-based options
10:11 that they have here.
10:12 I'm super excited to try these.
10:14 This has a pepper dew chutney.
10:17 And these pepper dews are from Africa.
10:19 Oh, I'm ready to dip in.
10:21 These look so crispy.
10:24 Oh my gosh.
10:26 And then I just want to dip it in that sauce.
10:29 So much sauce.
10:30 That was not a little bite.
10:37 That was a big bite.
10:38 Vegetable samosas, very well-made.
10:40 You have your carrots, your peas, your spices, potato.
10:44 But then the pepper dew chutney just sends it over the edge.
10:49 It is spicy and sweet and like,
10:52 kind of like the hot honey flavor.
10:55 You get a little bit of sweet.
10:56 You get a little bit of like actual kick to it.
10:59 Just like such a fun little treat
11:03 and a good vegetarian option.
11:05 We are still at the pass holder lounge.
11:08 I loved those samosas.
11:10 I needed to get a drink 'cause now my mouth is on fire.
11:13 And they bought me what is essentially
11:16 an African pina colada.
11:18 It's the Hungry Tusker.
11:19 It has African liqueur, rum, and pineapple and coconuts.
11:24 And then they put a chocolate straw.
11:26 And this is my favorite type of straw because it's edible.
11:29 We have been here before.
11:31 I love eating the straw after the drink.
11:33 If you guys have noticed a thing,
11:35 Bush Gardens carries these straws.
11:39 So anytime you're in a Bush Gardens location,
11:41 you can get one.
11:42 They come in like cherry, lime, strawberry, chocolate.
11:45 I just thought you should know.
11:47 - Save the turtles.
11:48 - Save the turtles.
11:50 Oh my gosh, and speaking of saving the turtles
11:52 and all of the animals,
11:53 the African liqueur that is in this is special
11:56 because some of the proceeds from that liqueur
11:58 go back to saving the animals, to the conservation efforts.
12:01 So when you order a drink and you get the edible straw,
12:05 you're not only saving the turtles,
12:06 but other animals as well.
12:08 So, you know, drink up and drink responsibly.
12:10 I didn't specify what animals we were saving
12:13 other than the turtles.
12:15 It's the Hungry Tusker.
12:17 So Tusk, we're saving the elephants.
12:19 So my African pina colada saved an elephant.
12:22 What did you do with your life today?
12:24 I don't know.
12:24 I'm doing good work here,
12:27 drinking at a theme park and saving the elephants.
12:29 You know how earlier I was like,
12:32 people can't get drunk from beer?
12:34 They can, especially in the sun.
12:36 And I haven't eaten actual food yet.
12:39 So I really need pizza.
12:41 And so we're gonna go get a pizza.
12:42 (laughs)
12:45 (upbeat music)
12:47 So I said I was gonna get pizza,
12:48 but actually when I got to the front,
12:50 they said that the chicken parm was really good
12:52 and it's a brand new item.
12:54 So I had to try it.
12:55 This is a giant chicken tender, fried hard.
13:00 They put marinara and mozzarella cheese on top.
13:05 And then they toasted it again.
13:07 And my God, is it delicious.
13:09 The bread is so good.
13:12 The chicken is like crispy on the outside,
13:14 juicy on the inside.
13:16 The marinara is a nice and sweet.
13:18 You gotta throw some mozzarella cheese on top of that.
13:21 So you gotta, and then just one handed and just,
13:25 it's delicious.
13:27 I wish that like you guys could have bite cam
13:30 where you just like get a little bite.
13:33 So good.
13:34 I got more.
13:35 This place is something else y'all.
13:37 You guys asked and we delivered.
13:39 You said more gluten free options.
13:42 And this is a gluten free pizza.
13:44 So this thing Park has you covered.
13:46 There is no cross contamination going on in here
13:49 because it is in the bag and you get your own pizza cutter.
13:54 This originally was not on our menu,
13:57 but when we heard they had a gluten free pizza
13:59 and the process, all of the time they go through,
14:01 making sure that it is not cross contaminated
14:03 if you don't get any gluten on your food,
14:06 we had to see what it looks like.
14:08 Do it taste good?
14:09 We shall see.
14:12 (upbeat music)
14:14 This is actually really good.
14:16 And I mean, if the option is to get sick or don't,
14:20 you wanna be able to eat.
14:22 And the pizza is actually really good.
14:26 Gluten free crust,
14:27 there is definitely something to be desired,
14:30 but I'm never gonna yuck anybody's yum.
14:32 This is a great option
14:34 if that is the dietary restriction that you have.
14:37 There's fishy over here.
14:38 Come on, come on.
14:40 I love how they just like hang out.
14:42 They're just like,
14:43 we're just chilling in the water.
14:47 He's a, it's a hippo.
14:48 He's living the life.
14:51 He's just hanging out.
14:55 - They are terrifying.
14:57 - No, it's a water puppy.
14:58 It's like the pit bull of the water.
15:01 Oh my God, get it, get it.
15:03 Yes.
15:04 Good job, Chelsea.
15:06 That was great.
15:08 So let's go get on a ride.
15:09 A safari ride.
15:10 An actual safari.
15:13 I promised you guys a safari.
15:15 Let's go, Chelsea.
15:15 Let's go see the giraffe.
15:18 Safari time.
15:20 - Yay.
15:21 - All right, get ready.
15:22 - Put her in the safari chic right there.
15:24 - She's a good,
15:26 we're all gonna be safari themed.
15:28 - Oh no.
15:29 - Oh look, it looks cute.
15:34 - I hate everything.
15:35 (laughing)
15:37 - You're so stylish.
15:38 Let me take a picture of you.
15:40 (laughing)
15:41 - She's never been cuter.
15:43 - We're gonna make animal friends.
15:55 I think they said rhinos are coming.
16:00 I'm so excited, but I'm a little bit afraid.
16:03 We're meeting a rhino.
16:06 She's a black rhino,
16:07 but she's like this red color
16:09 'cause she's hanging out in the clay.
16:11 She rolls her body around in the clay
16:12 and gets some natural sunscreen.
16:14 What is her name?
16:16 - Jodi.
16:16 - Hi, Jodi.
16:17 She's a cutie.
16:20 How old is she?
16:21 - She's 34 years old.
16:23 She's been with us for 32 years.
16:25 - Oh wow, so you've had her since she was two.
16:27 Oh, she's originally from Detroit,
16:29 but she's been here since she was two.
16:30 So she came and she never left,
16:32 just like the rest of us.
16:33 Before we go and say bye to Jodi,
16:35 he has her favorite snack, which is corn on the cob.
16:37 So we're gonna see how she reacts.
16:40 Oh, look, she's already ready.
16:41 She's like, "Give it to me, give it to me."
16:43 Mm, oh, bye, Jodi.
16:48 That's good, girl, I know.
16:51 We're gonna see a baby rhino,
16:54 and his name is Viazi, which means potato.
16:57 Potato.
16:58 He's a little sweet potato.
16:59 They said they call him Tater Tot.
17:01 He does look little compared to that one,
17:02 but he was born in October
17:03 and he's already 1,000 pounds.
17:05 Like, 1,000 pounds that small,
17:08 he's a very heavy potato.
17:11 So we're about to feed the giraffes,
17:12 and I'm really excited
17:14 because they're gonna come really, really close up to us.
17:17 The safari is around 65 acres,
17:20 which is 65 football fields,
17:23 which my brain can't process that.
17:26 And also, there's a giraffe coming up behind me.
17:29 Hey, you're so majestic.
17:34 He's like, "Um, you got some food?"
17:35 - I'm waiting for her.
17:37 - Hi, Takiza, hi.
17:39 You get a little snack?
17:41 Wait, giraffes on the left,
17:42 giraffes on the right.
17:44 (upbeat music)
17:47 - Bye. - Bye.
17:56 - Bye, Jodi.
17:57 - Bye-bye.
17:58 Oh, gosh, that was so much fun.
17:59 We got to feed the giraffes,
18:02 and now I'm ready for something sweet.
18:04 More funnel cake?
18:06 (upbeat music)
18:08 This is our third and final funnel cake of the day,
18:18 but the first two were so good
18:20 that we needed to try another one.
18:22 This is the funnel cake sundae.
18:25 So we have strawberries, caramel, chocolate,
18:28 vanilla ice cream, two different types of sprinkles,
18:31 cherries and strawberries.
18:33 Good Lord.
18:36 Breaking a funnel cake on live YouTube
18:41 is an Olympic sport now,
18:43 'cause I've done it three times today.
18:44 And finally, might I add, okay,
18:48 it wasn't beautiful, but it needed to be done.
18:50 The funnel cake is crispy.
18:53 It's fresh.
18:54 Great crunch.
18:56 It just depends on what toppings you want.
18:59 This one's classic.
19:00 It's the one you expect to get at a theme park.
19:03 It's a monstrosity.
19:05 You can't go wrong.
19:07 Of the three that I have tried today,
19:09 I'm gonna tell you which one was my favorite.
19:11 It was the breakfast one, the bacon maple bacon.
19:14 I feel like you guys can guess
19:16 'cause I was the most enthusiastic about it.
19:18 'Cause I don't know, how do you make anything better?
19:19 You just throw bacon on it.
19:21 I mean, they're all, as I said,
19:23 they're all delicious.
19:24 Pick your flavor.
19:25 Crispy, just like you want a funnel cake.
19:27 The quintessential theme park funnel cake.
19:31 I just love that they have so many options.
19:33 Ha.
19:34 This is the closest you will ever see me on this ride.
19:38 Woo!
19:39 This is Serengeti Flyers.
19:40 It is their newest attraction.
19:43 Now, what is interesting about it,
19:44 it is the tallest and fastest ride of its kind.
19:48 So it can go up to 68 miles an hour and 135 feet.
19:54 The trick is, you can choose, you can pick your poison.
19:58 So if you try it before one o'clock,
20:01 it is the milder version.
20:02 So it goes less than 38 miles an hour.
20:06 A little bit lower than 130 feet in the air.
20:10 But if you want the full experience,
20:12 after one o'clock it is the wilder version.
20:14 And it does all of the bells and whistles and tricks
20:16 and the fear that you guys love.
20:19 (upbeat music)
20:22 (upbeat music)
20:24 - Hello.
20:39 Hi.
20:41 Can I please have the Pantopia Punch?
20:44 I'm ready for some punch.
20:47 I'm gonna cool down.
20:50 And they gave me an edible straw.
20:51 I love this place.
20:53 Oh my gosh, so cute.
20:55 We are in Pantopia and this drink is from Dragonfire.
20:58 This is the Pantopia Punch.
21:01 It is vodka, rum, madouri, peach schnapps, and pineapple.
21:06 Just as one shot of note,
21:10 I did not need any notes to remember all of the alcohol
21:12 that is in this particular drink
21:14 because this sounded like the one I would like the most.
21:16 Okay?
21:17 Nobody had to cue me into those ingredients.
21:19 (laughs)
21:22 So it's like a rum punch or like a Long Island,
21:26 but instead of the iced tea, they just gave us pineapple.
21:30 And like, I feel like it's taking me back to my roots.
21:33 Back to like the good old college days
21:36 when all you drank was vodka and or rum,
21:38 or sometimes both together with like the little can
21:40 of pineapple juice.
21:41 Did y'all ever go get those?
21:43 Like they come in a six pack, but they're like little cans
21:45 and you just, that was your mix up.
21:47 - Okay, can I make a dumb joke?
21:49 - What?
21:50 - All right, so this isn't jungle juice, it's safari juice.
21:53 - It's safari juice!
21:54 We are technically still at Dragonfire Grill and Pub,
22:01 but we needed to eat something.
22:02 We needed some food after that wonderful drink
22:04 that was just alcohol and pineapple juice.
22:07 Me and Chelsea finished it in between takes,
22:10 if you really want to know what happened to that.
22:12 But!
22:12 (laughs)
22:15 That is scorpion behind me.
22:18 So in Dragonfire, it is a grill,
22:22 but it's also their entertainment center.
22:23 So it's a big hall, they have four different food stations,
22:27 and we got something from their wok stations.
22:30 This is a pick two.
22:31 We have beef, we have chicken, and then we have noodles.
22:34 I'm gonna let you guys know right now,
22:36 this smells like so much sesame oil.
22:40 I am excited 'cause I do enjoy sesame oil.
22:42 But also I really need to get some protein in me
22:45 after that delightful drink that I can't stop talking about.
22:50 Ooh!
22:52 The beef looks so tender and good.
22:54 So this is like a beef and broccoli.
22:56 That's where all the sesame oil is.
23:01 It's a little bit sweet, no spice at all.
23:04 Let's dig into the chicken.
23:06 This just looks like your standard orange chicken.
23:09 But if it's anything like the chicken parmesan
23:13 that we had earlier, I know it's good.
23:15 So you know when you get the orange chicken
23:18 that actually tastes like orange and not just like sweet?
23:21 This is good.
23:23 It tastes like they put actual oranges in the orange chicken.
23:28 Which, fun fact about me, I did not know orange chicken
23:33 had flavors of orange in it until I was an adult.
23:36 Because like orange chicken from the mall
23:37 doesn't taste like orange, it just tastes sweet.
23:40 (laughs)
23:42 Okay, lastly the lo mein.
23:44 I feel like that's a big bite.
23:49 Standard lo mein noodles, not too heavy on the flavor.
23:58 You're gonna get all of your...
24:00 You're gonna get all of your zest from the meat.
24:07 Like you get your zest from the drop.
24:09 Not in the noodles, but this is a delicious option.
24:13 And if you're looking for something that is more hearty,
24:16 a larger meal, you need to carbo load,
24:19 for all of the laps you're gonna run around this theme park,
24:22 there you go.
24:24 It would not be a trip to a theme park without a hot dog.
24:27 So we're gonna get a dragon dog next.
24:30 (upbeat music)
24:32 (upbeat music)
24:35 We're at dragon dog and we got the dragon dog.
24:53 It is fiery.
24:55 It's a dragon dog, so it is a foot long hot dog
24:58 covered in pepper jack cheese, nacho cheese,
25:02 hot frito dust, fried jalapenos,
25:06 salsa and sour cream.
25:09 She is a spicy, spicy dog.
25:12 And it's also very heavy.
25:14 I just wanna note that look at the cheese.
25:16 Dripping on to these house made kettle chips.
25:22 They didn't intend it this way,
25:24 but the Lord made it happen, okay?
25:26 Look at this.
25:26 (laughs)
25:28 This is a monster food.
25:31 Like it has so much stuff on it.
25:34 It would just be really fun to try.
25:36 But also like, this is a after,
25:39 after you have drank a whole lot.
25:41 You will need to fill your body with carbs and protein
25:45 and possibly something that is nowhere near healthy,
25:49 but it's good for the soul.
25:50 I just keep dipping the chip in like the pound of toppings
25:54 that is on here.
25:55 (crunches)
25:57 It's a chew first.
25:59 (upbeat music)
26:03 I don't know what they're doing to these hot dogs,
26:24 but they're putting a lot of different stuff
26:26 on top of them.
26:27 So this is the Southern Dog.
26:29 It's another foot long hot dog.
26:31 It has pimento mac and cheese on it,
26:34 bacon, cheddar cheese sauce,
26:38 fried green tomatoes and a Romulon.
26:41 I don't, we had to sit down for this one
26:43 because it's too much.
26:44 It's too heavy.
26:45 She's a two pound baby.
26:47 All right, I'm forking and knifing 'cause I'm,
26:50 I don't know how you would do this.
26:53 Like you could not pick this up
26:56 and I'm not complaining either.
26:59 So this is a limited time item.
27:01 You can get it during the summer.
27:04 I guess they're giving you like summer specials
27:05 'cause it's Florida.
27:07 Southern Dog, get it Florida.
27:09 Let's eat it.
27:10 I never knew that pimento mac and cheese
27:14 was what I wanted in my life.
27:16 When you think about it, it makes so much sense.
27:18 If I could only get one dog from Dragon Dogs,
27:22 which one would I get?
27:23 I would go with the Southern.
27:25 Just because it's limited time
27:27 and you won't be able to get this all year round.
27:30 You're getting mac and cheese,
27:30 you're getting fried green tomatoes,
27:31 you're getting bacon.
27:33 And you're getting this, oh, hi sir.
27:37 - Whatever he said.
27:39 - Yeah, said five out of five seagulls.
27:42 (upbeat music)
27:45 (upbeat music)
27:47 So we are at Twisted Tails
28:05 and we have a pretzel hot dog.
28:09 Now, generally I would want to dip this in mustard
28:13 and I'm gonna definitely talk about
28:14 that magical mustard that we had back
28:16 in Busch Gardens, Williamsburg.
28:18 This is a beer mustard.
28:21 I wanna know the brand.
28:22 I wanna know how they make it.
28:23 If there's a little man who's making it in the back,
28:25 he come at home with me.
28:26 That mustard on this would taste so good.
28:29 But we're gonna be a purist today
28:30 and just try the pretzel and the hot dog together.
28:34 That is a salted dog and a sweet, sweet pretzel bun.
28:41 Plus this episode is a lot of multiples.
28:42 So we've had multiple funnel cakes,
28:44 multiple hot dogs.
28:46 You can't go wrong with the hot dog,
28:48 especially like it wrapped in pretzel bread.
28:51 The only thing that I would say is that
28:53 they have cheese dipping and they have marinara.
28:56 I would just really want a mustard, but it's amazing.
28:59 (upbeat music)
29:01 (upbeat music)
29:04 We have a bacon pretzel fury.
29:19 Say that five times fast.
29:21 This is the most popular item in the entire park.
29:26 How many of these do you think they make in a day?
29:27 A lot.
29:28 They can't keep them on the shelves.
29:30 They were making so many of them.
29:32 We were back there watching them make this one
29:34 and they're just gonna keep it going until the park closes.
29:37 The bacon pretzel fury was introduced
29:39 when they opened Falcon's Fury right behind us.
29:43 We got to watch them make it and it was really cool.
29:45 So they take two pieces of bacon and two pretzels
29:48 and they braid them all together because it's a braid.
29:51 They wrap it around itself.
29:53 How do you make anything better?
29:54 Throw some bacon on it.
29:56 I am just gonna stand by the fact that
29:59 mustard would be the only way to make this better.
30:01 I know y'all sick of me, but I do love my mustard.
30:03 Oh my God.
30:09 I don't like talking with my mouth full,
30:10 but when I bit into that, that oh my God was so involuntary.
30:14 Like it's so fresh and soft and warm.
30:18 And it has the bacon in the middle.
30:20 And it's like so hefty.
30:22 And I feel like it is probably criminal
30:26 the amount of butter that they just slathered on top.
30:31 Come back and get me later.
30:32 (upbeat music)
30:36,
30:47 I can't fathom how people do that.
31:01 We're at the Zambia Smokehouse
31:03 and this is the Zambia Smokehouse sampler.
31:07 It's not a trip to the theme park
31:09 unless you can have some smoke meat.
31:11 And they're smoking it up in the back with hickory and oak.
31:15 They sliced up that brisket.
31:17 I really like the fattier pieces.
31:21 We got some of that barbecue sauce from the Memphis,
31:24 the Memphis ribs.
31:27 I'm mixing it all together
31:28 'cause barbecue that's just what happens.
31:30 You put way too much on the plate.
31:32 Everything kind of melds together.
31:33 It's part of the experience.
31:35 Let's try it.
31:36 It's smoky.
31:42 I feel like that was a Chelsea style review.
31:45 It's smoky.
31:45 That's really tender.
31:48 And it has like a really nice like fat to meat ratio.
31:54 So I know we've talked about this before
31:57 that like different barbecue sauces taste different.
32:00 And like Memphis barbecue sauce, she's sweet.
32:03 And I like that.
32:04 Like it's like a sweeter barbecue sauce.
32:06 So let me just go straight into the ribs
32:09 since I keep talking about the barbecue sauce on the ribs.
32:11 I'm also wearing like a mixture of barbecue sauce
32:26 slash fat lip gloss.
32:30 It's not bad.
32:32 Rib facts.
32:35 Rib facts.
32:36 St. Louis ribs are flatter and straighter.
32:38 See how like straight the bone is?
32:40 And then baby back ribs are more curved.
32:42 Like they're that like picturesque rib
32:44 that you're used to seeing.
32:46 It's definitely like fall off the bone tender.
32:49 It's a good meaty rib.
32:51 Okay, and it also comes with chicken.
32:54 Let's just try the chicken real quick.
32:55 Oh, she fell off.
32:58 No, the skin is literally the best part.
33:00 You know what?
33:01 I'm about to be a skin purist right now.
33:02 I did not even eat a fork.
33:03 Yes, I know that makes Julia so mad.
33:05 She don't eat the skin on her chicken.
33:07 - I eat the skin, but I don't do that.
33:09 - No, I'll eat that.
33:10 I will 100%, absolutely.
33:13 Sometimes I eat the skin off of pieces of chicken
33:15 that I put back in the refrigerator.
33:16 - Oh no.
33:17 All right, well then maybe that's a monster.
33:20 - Monster.
33:21 - Monster.
33:22 - Monster.
33:23 - I'm a monster.
33:24 I love a flight.
33:25 I love a sampler.
33:26 I like when you're getting multiple things at once.
33:28 And if I had to pick my favorite on this plate,
33:32 I'm gonna go with those ribs.
33:34 The brisket was good,
33:35 but the ribs, they really did blow me off the water.
33:37 And it's really the barbecue sauce.
33:39 We also ordered a side of mac and cheese
33:41 because you guys know I am a mac and cheese connoisseur.
33:44 If it's mac and cheese on a menu, I'm gonna order it.
33:47 Mm, we had the pimento mac and cheese earlier,
33:49 so I wanna see how this like holds up to it.
33:51 I like it.
33:54 It's not as like creamy and cheesy
33:57 as you would like think it should be,
34:00 but it is like a good addition to like a plate of barbecue.
34:03 I feel like a plate of barbecue
34:05 just needs mac and cheese.
34:06 Like it just go together.
34:08 Chelsea, I've had barbecue, I've had pretzels,
34:12 I've had hot dogs.
34:14 Mama needs a drink.
34:16 Let's go to the tap house.
34:18 (upbeat music)
34:20 (upbeat music)
34:23 We are in Springs Taproom
34:40 and this is the Hot Honey Margarita.
34:43 It's tequila, lime, hot honey, and triple sec.
34:47 And if this rim is in the indicator
34:50 and the real fresh jalapeno sitting on top,
34:54 this is gonna be oh so spicy.
34:57 Springs Taphouse is brand new.
34:58 It just opened in January,
34:59 so like not shbanging brand new 'cause you know,
35:01 this is June, but it is the newest drinking location.
35:06 And I love a good water and hole, you know,
35:08 especially when it's hot outside at a theme park.
35:11 You wanna be able to come into air conditioning,
35:13 get you something nice to drink, cool off.
35:17 I don't know if I'm gonna be successful at that though,
35:19 'cause this is spicy.
35:21 (laughs)
35:23 It immediately hits you with the spice.
35:30 It is refreshing though.
35:31 You get the lime, you get the tequila.
35:34 It's nice and cold, but the like,
35:36 it burns on the tongue and the throat,
35:39 which I like because most of the time
35:40 when you have like a spicy margarita,
35:42 it only burns on the throat.
35:44 But this one is like more full body.
35:46 This rim, I don't know exactly what it is.
35:49 It feels like it's the seasoning that they put on top
35:53 of like Nashville hot after they're done saucing it.
35:56 No, it is not.
35:57 It's way spicier than Tahiti.
35:58 Come on, Julia.
35:59 - Why you doing with your finger?
36:01 You should have just did it.
36:02 - I don't wanna lick your cup.
36:03 - Okay, fine.
36:04 Though it's immediately hot.
36:09 Right, isn't it?
36:15 - It's back.
36:15 (laughs)
36:17 - It's a roller coaster.
36:19 This is my thrill ride.
36:21 Julia brought up a really good point earlier
36:22 about like, even if you're like pregnant
36:24 and you're at a theme park and you like wanna come in
36:26 and have a couple of drinks with your friends,
36:28 mocktails are good for that.
36:29 So that's what we're gonna do next.
36:30 So we have our coconut limeade.
36:33 Like I said before, this is a mocktail,
36:34 so it is non-alcoholic.
36:36 And I do wanna mention that generally mocktails
36:38 are like shorter.
36:40 Like it's normally like a very small cup
36:42 to make it feel more like cocktail-y.
36:45 And if this were a cocktail, you might fall off
36:48 'cause this is a lot of liquid.
36:50 Oh, okay.
36:54 So I thought because of like the accoutrements on top of it
36:57 that it was gonna be like a mojito
36:58 and it kinda is, but the coconut was making me think
37:00 that it was gonna be more like a pina colada.
37:01 And so I am going to say that it's like a mojito
37:06 and a pina colada had a very cute mocktail baby.
37:10 And it's delicious.
37:12 Like you could really hang out with your friends
37:15 and like have this drink for you to sip on
37:18 and like still feel like you're having
37:21 a well-crafted cocktail.
37:22 'Cause a lot of times mocktails feel like juice to me.
37:26 And like in all actuality, it is juice.
37:28 You gotta like really play with the flavors
37:30 to make it feel like you're like getting the idea
37:33 of a cocktail without having the alcohol in it.
37:35 And I think this one does a really good job of it.
37:38 (upbeat music)
37:41 (upbeat music)
37:44 - Are you in slow or are you in regular?
37:56 (laughing)
37:58 I'm excited.
37:59 How do you make a shake better?
38:03 You put a piece of cheesecake on top.
38:05 You guys know I love cheesecake.
38:09 And this is a Berry Berry Cheesecake Shake.
38:12 So it is a strawberry cheesecake flavored shake
38:16 but it's like a monster shake.
38:17 So it has whipped cream.
38:18 It has sprinkles, a whole big juicy strawberry.
38:23 And then the piece de resistance, a piece of cheesecake.
38:28 - Shake is legitimately blocking your entire face
38:32 from framing it so well.
38:36 - It's strawberry and super creamy.
38:40 And you get like that richness that you would think
38:42 that you would get from cheesecake.
38:44 But I feel like it's only right if you like.
38:49 - Adriana.
38:58 - What else was I supposed to do?
39:01 - I gave you a spoon.
39:03 - We gave you, we tried.
39:04 - No, I'm like hands on.
39:06 10 out of 10 would recommend.
39:08 But this is a 110% of end of the day snack.
39:13 This is not something that you're going to consume
39:16 and then ride anything after.
39:18 So this is like, I've had a really fun day
39:21 at the theme park.
39:22 And now I just want to have my something sweet
39:25 and get in the car and go home.
39:27 But wait, there's more.
39:30 This one is made for families.
39:33 It's going to be huge.
39:35 I'm warning you right now.
39:36 So here, Chelsea, you have that.
39:38 I might need you and Julia to finish the last one.
39:41 It's a finale.
39:43 (upbeat music)
39:45 (upbeat music)
39:48 (upbeat music)
40:17 - This is the look of concern, uncertainty.
40:22 My God.
40:24 This is the delightful bowl.
40:29 F-U-L-L.
40:31 'Cause it's full of everything.
40:34 There is brownie, there is whoopie pie,
40:35 there is four scoops of ice cream,
40:37 a whole piece of cheesecake,
40:39 a half a whoopie pie, a half a brownie,
40:40 a waffle cone, and then it is topped with a purple donut.
40:46 Like it has Swedish fish or like gummies on it.
40:49 It's, there's chocolate, there's caramel.
40:53 I know I'm nervous.
40:55 I'm having anxiety.
40:57 Over a dessert.
41:01 I want to be able to eat it all.
41:02 I'm not going to be able to.
41:03 You definitely need a family of four.
41:05 'Cause this is a lot.
41:06 But I have a family of three.
41:10 I have a family of three.
41:11 Me, Chelsea, Julia, and all of you at home.
41:16 Everyone pretend that the spoonful is yours.
41:19 And we're all sharing in this experience together.
41:24 That's not enough.
41:25 Girl, what is you doing?
41:28 Cheers.
41:28 - Oh no, they touched.
41:30 - Oh no.
41:31 I'm not mad.
41:35 - Oh.
41:38 - Can you please take a bite of that?
41:41 - Oh yeah.
41:42 All right, guys.
41:47 This is the finale that we all wanted.
41:51 Good Lord.
41:52 It's going to take me another eight hours to finish this.
41:56 But I will see you guys on another day
41:59 at another park for another adventure.
42:02 Bye.
42:03 Bye.
42:05 (upbeat music)
42:08 (upbeat music)
42:10 [MUSIC PLAYING]
