48 HOURS IN RIGA (A Surprisingly Brilliant City) Our Alternative Food Tour. Part Two.

It's the return of the Big Lew, once again making Jesse look like a Polly Pocket. We explore the real Riga visiting a classic folk club, Latvian brewpub, sublime Japanese ramen house, an unmissable Rigan brunch stop and a Hollywood themed cocktail bar. This film is the full spectrum of Riga, from the down right bizarre to the utterly brilliant.

Such cool content guys, as a Latvian I was so surprised to discover that these amazing places are right next to me, you really brought my own city to a different perspective to me. Glad u had so much fun there, although being tourists, I think u cached the real feeling of Riga's old town, where usually the most amazing adventures happen!

Japanese here🍡 FINALLY, Ramen that isn't too fancy and over the top. This looks like what we see in a regular ramen shop in Tokyo. Looks yum!

Guys you need to visit Riga in a warm summer time. It is so green and lovely vibe. Amazing parks with old trees.

[markussvirats]

FINALLY PART 2!!! I’m soooo excited!! Can’t wait for more SLAVA

[Notorious_IG]

I mean you guys are doing one of THE BEST food travel content on this platform. Good vibes, good food. Dont stop.

[Simmo]

Big Lew knows how it's done. One of the best yet!

[jza]

Is it just me or do we all all need a side series - the adventures of Big Lew?!

[cristinafmata]

"Do you want to be a sellout scumbag piece of shit or do you want to be a real g"

Big Lew is such a gem. Love all his episodes.

[lewishall]

Went to riga last year, i absolutely loved it! Want to come back for sure!

[thesillygooseshow]

it's such a shame you guys aren't as popular as you are. So much quality and care clearly go into these. I love your channel xx

[vinjutasrek]

This vid is awesome, really interesting insight/ perspective on the city. I'm really happy you included Labietis and Katkevich, those are some my the favorites.

[itsbernardvideographer]

Crikey you boys really went for it with this one, not sure how you were able to stand haha Loved how simple it was filmmaking wise! Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication

[marutakelers]

Looked like you guys had a great trip! I'm a first gen. American with Latvian parents, and I love seeing the home of my ancestors so well represented! Just a few fyi's, Ala means "cave". The most traditional Latvian food made over here in America is called "piragi", crescent shaped buns filled with ham, bacon, onions and black pepper. If you go back, you should try them (addictive!) By the way, the Russians tried to take away the authentic Latvian dish's identity by calling any meat pie a pirags, but the one I described is the real one. It seems that Latvia and Japan have an interesting synchronicity. I know of a company in Japan, that's called by my name, Maruta. Finally, I was wondering if/how you liked the grey peas? You never said. I would love to see you fellas explore more of the country, someday. Thank you!

[louder]

Part 2 was worth the wait! Thanks for more recommendations in my town 😁 you guys need to be on TV 👌

[davebeat]

I'd never had black pudding with a sweet side until LIDO. The cranberry and apple sauce is banging and compliments the heftiness of the black pud perfectly. It's a seasonal dish though usually on the menu from Autumn to Winter for anyone visting you might not see it during the summer months.

[Laura-itpr]

I genuinely am baffled how you don’t have over a million subscribers, you are one of my faves! And u visited my hometown Bristol even better 🤣

[Tramigais]

I'm moved back to Riga after 8 years living in UK. I learn places where to go from them. really educational for me 👍

[senshai]

One of the best video tones ever, loving the filter you use in your videos

[andgainingspeed]

Contrasting the food with the weather was brilliant. Who doesn't like to get into some comfort food when it is gray outside? Rigans must have look like they have it down on the local dishes and the imports. 👍

[iambarmy]

Keep going Lads, you're doing great. I'm always excited for a new episode. Good job!
