An Italian tries Southern BBQ for the first time!

Our tour of good Southern food continues! It's time for my Italian husband, Alessio to try Southern BBQ at Puckett's. Of course we had to get him all the good stuff- brisket, pulled pork, bbq chicken, ribs, coleslaw, collard greens, baked beans, green beans, Mac & cheese, potato salad, mashed potatoes with gravy and cornbread! We also grabbed some pimento cheese bites, fried pickles, and wings for apps. Can we eat it all?!?

Thank you for all of your love and support! Don't forget to subscribe and turn on the bell so you never miss a new video! You can also follow us on our other socials below! Ciao for now! -Jessi and Alessio

I was a U.S. Marine at the American Embassy Rome, Italy for a year (1993-1994). One day I discovered an old BBQ pit hidden away. I pulled it out, cleaned it up and put it back into service. The Italians were blown away eating authentic BBQ with all the sides. Life was good 😊

This may sound goofy but I like how he is open minded and respectful when trying new foods because it’s not just food, it’s other cultures. This is a habit he has inspired me to adhere to.

As a Tennessee boy who grew up down the road from Franklin I’m so happy you found a genuine southern bbq restaurant and you enjoyed it so much. One of the benefits of having people from all over the world living in your country is they all bring their own food traditions and culture and it all mixes together to make the best food in the world. That’s why we’re all so fat 😂

Coming from an American with an Italian ex-wife from Venezia, It is awe inspiring to see an Italian appreciate some real American cuisine. It's not all Coke and McDonalds. Bravissimo!

I love it when people from overseas discover real Southern food. Blows their mind, every time. lol :D

My husband is from Calabria and when I introduced him to Southern BBQ ribs he could not eat it fast enough. He got ribs, ribs and pulled pork. He went crazy over the corn bread and baked beans. We were at the restaurant for over an hour and kept ordering more food!

It's good to see someone coming from a culture of great food enjoying southern food.

I come from a new England Italian family that took a lot of pride in their food. We moved to texas 2 years ago...and let me tell you...southern BBQ is hands down the best food on the planet. It's not close

“10 of the 10, ” is how I’m saying it from now on.
Him being so impressed by the food is exceptionally high praise, by the way. You can’t turn around anywhere in Italy, without running into delicious food. Their food matches the Italian spirit.

There’s a lot of similarity between Italian food and southern food. Both were originally developed to feed large families cheaply, and good cooks have refined the recipes over the years.

Never had so much fun watching two people eat, thanks for the sunshine

My wife is from South America. They have really good food, but it's just different. I took her to one of the better BBQ places in Dallas, TX and it blew her mind. She couldn't believe how good the food was! She's not a fan of red meat because to her it "tastes like blood", but BBQ she says that the flavor is not only not there, but is so tender and has a flavor that cannot be described. She craves BBQ now and I recently introduced her to Beef Ribs and she absolutely lost her mind at how good it was!

Glad a guy from a culture with excellent food can come here and enjoy the food where I grew up. :) One day I want to go to Italy and enjoy all their excellent dishes.

[mitchellbrown]

It is unreal how much joy I got from watching him enjoy American BBQ.

[uuzds]

American BBQ usually hits the mark for first timers. It's known for taking the cheapest cuts and turning them into something Delicious, Tender, Juicy, Savory & Sweet. Any State known for raising Good Beef knows good BBQ but Texas will usually be the Benchmark to beat. Glad you guys enjoyed it !

[Ryarios]

Let me get this straight, you ate corn cakes, with pork, coleslaw AND a fried pickle? That’s just - OUTSTANDING…👍🏻

[fionarhiannonpitbullextrao]

Alessio loves that food so much he couldn't even form complete sentences. That's how you KNOW the food is good.

[KA-uism]

I love the mutual respect you have for each other. And, bravo to you for being thoughtful of your husband’s feelings and dignity. There’s another channel (also Italian husband/American wife) and sadly wife is constantly making him look foolish and intentionally upsetting him just for the sake of views. It’s refreshing to watch your vids and see wholesome content.

[samuelhodges]

I love watching those from another country try Southern food for the first time. This is food we Southerners kind of take for granted and forget how incredibly good it is. Great video!

[elaineford]

As an American who would love to go to Italy just to eat my way around the country, I can honestly say I'm surprised by his reactions. After all, when I think of Italy my mind immediately wanders to the wine and the food; the Italians are well known for their lovely cuisine. How refreshing to see they can appreciate our simple, down-home, American food. 10/10!! Love that you love it!!
