0:00
Welcome back first timers. We're in the truck, got the trailer hitched up and we're heading down to
0:09
Grayton State Beach. We're going to rent a golf cart again and we're going to do a food tour
0:13
We're doing breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and dessert all down in Grayton Beach
0:30
David's getting us all checked into our camping spot. We're going to set up real fast and then head over to Raw and Juicy for a quick snack
0:43
And then later tonight, we're going to go over to Chanticleer for dinner. As we pulled up to our spot, we're in spot 45, by the way
0:50
It's a huge spot. Lot of room, all paved, great location, amazing tree cover
0:56
But what made this spot even greater when we showed up is check this out
1:00
If you thought the last car that we had the orange one was gonna get some looks this red one's definitely gonna stand out
1:07
We're back renting from go time golf cart rentals right here in the great and beach area
1:11
They're just down in blue mountain. They delivered it before we even showed up
1:14
So we pull up and we're already ready to roll. These people are awesome tomorrow
1:19
We're gonna take you over to their brick and mortar location in blue mountain beach to see what other options that they have and
1:26
Just get to know the business and we'll introduce you to one of the owners. In case you guys forgot the golf carts from go time rentals
1:32
They're a little bit different. They got a wider stance beefier tires. They're lifted and they got a killer speaker system
1:38
We're headed over to raw and juicy to get our fresh snack for today
1:43
And it's only five minutes from the campsite And we're taking our golf cart because golf carts and bikes are the best way to get around green beach
1:49
There's not a lot of parking and everything's super close. We made it to raw and juicy
1:54
We're at the one in Grayton Beach. They also have a location out in Alley Beach
1:58
Which we also checked out in a different video and you can check that out right here But they're open every day from 8 a.m. To 2 p.m. Here at their Grayton Beach location. Raw and Juicy is just what it sounds like
2:07
It's juice. It's whole foods. It's fresh. It's sustainable And they make a lot of their stuff in-house like their own nut butters and in their smoothies
2:15
They don't put any ice. So all you're getting is all that fresh natural fruit. So let's go in and grab a snack
2:24
They've got seating inside and a cute little courtyard out front that you can sit in as well
2:44
We were going to sit inside but then we found out about the Backyard of Love so we had to
2:56
come out here and check it out. They also have live music out here and a stage but we came close to closing time so there's
3:01
no music today. I got a cold pressed juice to try, it's called Meet the Queen
3:06
Let's give it a little taste test. It's very interesting. You can definitely taste the orange juice and the turmeric
3:14
The ginger is very mild. The lemon's in there too. I can feel myself getting healthier by the second
3:19
I would recommend this one. For my drink, I went with the kid's size, eight ounce, green king
3:25
Not short king, green king. It has all the green stuff you like. It also has spirulina
3:31
It's packed with fruit and flavor. Well, actually, I'll let you know if it's packed with flavor right now
3:37
Wow. So Terry mentioned that they don't put ice in their smoothies. and you can definitely tell that this is a more dense full smoothie. Don't worry, it's not warm
3:46
or anything. It's cold, but it's not diluted with the ice. This is a really really good smoothie and
3:52
would recommend getting the Green King in the short king size. Our snacks have arrived. We were only
3:58
coming in for a quick little snack, but we got swayed by the menu and now we're having like a
4:03
mini lunch. I went with the veggie sandwich and traditionally it comes with a raw sunflower bread
4:08
but I actually went with sourdough because I just love sourdough and it came with this really awesome
4:13
kale salad on the side. There's all kinds of like bits and bots on there, vegetable-based bacon
4:19
and it looks great. I mean, it's colorful, it's vibrant, there's a lot going on here. I can't wait
4:24
to bite into this and a sandwich stacked super high. Lots of vegetables, there's macadamia and
4:30
mustard aioli. Every vegetable you could ever imagine is on this thing. It looks really good
4:36
It looks really fresh. And then I went with the grilled cheese and tomato soup. I know it's like
4:42
90 degrees out here, but when you get fresh tomato soup, how can you pass that up? You can't. You
4:46
can't really. Cheers. That's the most flavorful vegetable sandwich I've ever had. You don't even
4:56
miss the fact there's no meat on here. It's savory. It's sweet. It's fresh. The bread is buttered and
5:04
and toasted. This is a winning sandwich right here. I think the same thing about
5:08
this sandwich. It's buttery sourdough, crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the
5:14
inside, some really sharp white cheddar cheese. It's probably like one of the
5:19
best grilled cheese sandwiches I ever had That cheese is delicious I don know where they getting the sourdough but wherever it is go there Get it We each came with a side mine was a salad
5:33
Terry went with the soup. The dressing is so amazing. I don't know, there's so many flavors
5:40
going on here that I really can't describe them, but it is the perfect amount of dressing. It's
5:47
It's light and fresh, but still packed with flavor. The soup is really thick and creamy, and it's very earthy
5:55
It's like a very real tomato soup. It's not coming from a can, for sure
6:01
So I did want to follow up that the fake bacon is a shiitake mushroom
6:06
and it's sauteed in some sauce, almost kind of an Asian flavor, but delicious
6:11
It's not crispy like regular bacon, but it has all the flavor, and it has its own unique texture
6:15
But while we were walking out, we did find out that this place is actually an Airbnb and you can rent rooms here
6:22
Another nice little tip is on Sundays. Every Sunday from 11 to 2, they do a cookout in the backyard where they do fried chicken
6:30
The chef here cooks fried chicken and apparently it's the best fried chicken around
6:35
Now, we're not going to be here for this Sunday, but if you want us to check it out, we'll come out in a future video just for the fried chicken
6:41
We're at our dinner spot. We're at Chanticleer. It's a casual restaurant out here in Greenwich. They're open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m
6:48
Let's go check it out. It's a great cute little restaurant tucked away just right off the main street
6:53
Just decorated really well, a lot of art. There's art on the table and a pretty extensive menu
6:59
Yeah, and they're locally owned and operated, so that's always nice. They got appetizers, salads, soups, entrees. Everywhere we went today and we asked people
7:07
about what to get here, the consensus across the board was the pork chops. But then people also
7:12
told us we have to get the not your mama's chicken it's a chicken and rice dish but it's a little bit
7:17
on the spicy side so i think we're going to forego that but we are getting the nachos it's a pulled
7:23
pork nachos there's barbecue sauce all the regular fixings and if it's not chicken tenders terry
7:29
needs nachos in her day i love nachos anytime they're on the menu i have to get them so when
7:35
our food gets out here we're gonna let you know what we think there's a whole bar in the back of this restaurant and there is a pretty big selection but we're not drinking here tonight
7:42
because we're doing all the other bars in great beach right now so if you haven't seen that video
7:46
it'll be right here but if it's not out yet it'll be coming up soon i think i'm starting to see why
7:51
terry loves nachos so much i mean this is sky high from the table to the ceiling it's a massive pile
7:58
of nachos but the first thing that hits you is just an overwhelming smell of barbecue sauce it's
8:03
It's very barbecue smelly. Kind of tangy and sweet. It's covered in queso, a lot of pork, a lot of toppings
8:10
So Terry's the expert, so let her jump right in. I was trying to get a video of her taking a chip
8:18
but she was trembling in anticipation. Her whole hand was shaking. That's pretty good
8:25
The chips are nice and crunchy. They're not getting soggy yet. It's really good
8:30
That queso is good. And the barbecue. you. That's really the winner here. It looks like every chip is completely coated. They did a really
8:39
good job of layering this. And it came out so fast. It's a strong pulled pork. And that barbecue sauce
8:47
is really good. And the queso is light. It's mild. Yeah, the queso is a very mild queso
8:54
but that barbecue sauce really shines through. Terry absolutely demolished those nachos. They
9:01
really hit the spot. They were delicious. They were cheesy. They were crispy. Very similar to
9:07
the nachos that we had at Crab Island from Ruckin' Fidiculous Barbecue. It's kind of that sweet
9:13
pulled pork. There was a nice bark on this pulled pork, so I think they're smoking it in-house. A lot
9:19
of flavor. Really good. The chips held up pretty well to the sauce and all the different things, but
9:23
if you're out here, you could probably skip the pork chops. We haven't even got them yet. I don't
9:28
where I'm gonna put them. I've really killed almost the entire platter of nachos myself
9:33
This is not a two-person appetizer. You're gonna have to share this with probably a few other
9:37
friends. So we're still waiting for the pork chops to come out. We did get somebody's pork
9:42
chops but they weren't ours. Like we mentioned the nachos came out super quick probably five or six
9:47
minutes. I would say even faster than that. I don't even think she had time to put the order in
9:52
But the entree is taking a little bit longer. We're just over an hour right now
9:56
it is busy so we're really hoping that the pork chops are worth the wait we are
10:02
running a little bit behind so we're gonna have to kind of eat and run as soon as it gets here but if you have plans after dinner just plan accordingly
10:11
because it is a busy restaurant and they're making everything fresh so I think that might be what's causing a little bit of a backup in the kitchen
10:18
pork chops have arrived they look pretty good they're real thick six ounces per
10:23
piece but they are pretty thick daddies and then we got the mashed potatoes that look pretty good
10:28
and then the rice kind of a you know standard rice with beans and corn it smells really good
10:33
it smells like limey I know Terry's going straight for the meat because she always does but I'm
10:38
going to try the try the mashed potatoes the mashed potatoes are pretty good yeah um yeah they Creamy They got some red skin in there Not bad mashed potatoes Let me try this pork chop Tender That what you looking for in a pork chop That rice has a nice pop of flavor It is limey
11:05
The pork chop is super tender. Yeah. If nothing else it's juicy and tender
11:08
very solid pork chop tender juicy thick but like we mentioned we're a little bit behind on time so
11:18
we're going to box this up we're going to head over to the dessert spot before it closes there's
11:23
a bunch of other ice cream shops closer to greaton beach but we came out here to pecan jacks because
11:27
they have all kinds of other stuff like brittles and and candy and chocolates but the line is down
11:33
the street so i think we're going to come back tomorrow and check out the ice cream and the other
11:38
goodies that they have to offer. Good morning it's day number two of our Greaton Beach golf cart
11:44
food tour. Today we're headed over to Scratch Biscuit Kitchen to get some delicious breakfast
11:49
and then after that we're going to go over to Go Time Golf Cart Rentals and talk to them
11:54
Well not technically in Greaton Beach it's just down the street in watercolor is an awesome little
11:59
breakfast spot called Scratch and like the name implies most everything here is made from scratch
12:06
the biscuits, the jam, even the popsicles. They have a popsicle mimosa where they make these
12:11
popsicles, oh making a mess, in house. So instead of juice you get a popsicle in your mimosa and it
12:17
just melts into a juicy concoction. What flavor did you get? Blueberry peach
12:25
I'm making a mess but it is sweet, refreshing and it's a really good combination with the champagne
12:32
So I think this will melt and really be a very interesting spin on a mimosa
12:38
And it's also happy hour and they're half off. Start the morning off right
12:44
That popsicle is seriously probably the best popsicle I've ever had. It's all made with fresh pureed fruits
12:51
But that peach blueberry, it's delicious. It has blueberries infused just added into the popsicle
12:58
And as it melts, it makes the mimosa that much better. But for me, I would skip the most altogether
13:03
I don't really like champagne, but I love popsicles, and that is an amazing popsicle
13:08
But for breakfast, I went with biscuits and gravy because that's what they're known for. They scratch-make the biscuits, the jam, everything, the gravy right in the back
13:17
and then I got a couple eggs on top. And then I got a breakfast bowl. It's got hash browns, or you can get it with grits
13:23
It's got eggs, cheese, and sausage. This restaurant is owned by the same people that own a number of other restaurants here in the local area
13:30
If you're looking for good, consistent food, this is going to be a good spot to check out
13:34
And then check out their other sister locations here in the area. I think before we dive into our meals, we've got to try this biscuit, right
13:41
Yeah. It's flaky, tender. It looks buttery. Yeah, super buttery. And that jam, boy, homemade jam
13:51
So that jam isn't crazy sweet, but you do get a lot of strawberry flavor
13:57
just packs a big punch without being overly sweet. Oh, yeah. That's really good
14:03
They told us it takes about nine hours to make the jam, so... Definitely worth the time
14:07
Super flaky. Going sans jam first. That's really good. That's exactly what biscuits should be
14:16
Dense but not heavy. It's fluffy, crispy. I bet that gravy is going to send it over the edge
14:24
Egg, sausage, gravy. all the best things this sausage is really nice too a little smoky dang that's a perfectly cooked
14:33
egg all that yolk try my bowl here with all the breakfast things cheese egg sausage potatoes
14:43
it's really good definitely get a biscuit on the side though that's the one thing that's missing
14:48
if you're watching your figure like i should be this is probably too rich and decadent for you but
14:55
They do have other options. They have salads and things like that. But really, if you're coming here, you got to get the biscuits
15:00
You got to get the gravy. Hit a bowl. Get a mimosa. And it's not just breakfast food. They have burgers, chicken tenders, patty melts
15:07
Well, we're going to finish up here, and then we'll see you back for lunch. We're here at Go Time Rentals checking out their showroom, their stock that's on the lot
15:15
And this sign sums it up perfectly. Golf cart hair don't care. That's what I'm rocking today
15:21
I'm here with Steve. He's going to tell us all about Go Time Rentals. Yeah, hi there
15:25

15:50
Behind me is the brand new Starfire Golf Cart. They're gonna be rotating this one and the Gorilla golf cart into their stock here to rent out
15:58
They're gonna replace all the old carts with this one. It's rugged. It's got LED party lights. It's got a subwoofer
16:04
I can't wait to rent this one next time But don't worry just because they don't have Starfire and Gorilla yet
16:09
They still have the awesome carts that we been renting every time we come out here And so these ones are lifted They got the off tires but don take it off They got the speaker They got lights on them too These are awesome We love them The best part about these is for us when we
16:25
tow our travel trailer, I don't have to unhook, re-hook. My truck is obnoxiously large and it's
16:30
hard to park. With this thing, you can get in and out of really tight spots. You can hit all the
16:35
spots along 30A without having to try and find parking. They have a lot of different options out
16:40
here. What's really awesome is they rotate their stock every three years. You don't have to worry
16:43
about getting like an old beat-up cart. They're just all nice, new, and they feel awesome. They
16:48
have a bunch of different options when it comes to the golf carts. You can get a four-seater, a six-seater, and they have all kinds of different colors. So you could pick out a color that matches
16:55
your bachelorette party color scheme. They have 30 golf carts in their fleet. And as you can see
16:59
behind me, they've only got a handful left and it's a Saturday afternoon. So make sure you reserve
17:03
your golf cart ahead of time. Book online, give them a call, get a golf cart. You need one. Let
17:09
them know the first time we sent you. Made it back to Pecan Jack's last night. The line was down the
17:13
street. Today, mid-afternoon, no one's here. Let's come in and check it out. We beat the rush. The rain
17:19
really helped us out today, but it was filling up as we got our ice cream. They don't only just have
17:24
ice cream. They have all kinds of handmade candy. They've got a bar of candy where you can just fill
17:28
a bag with a scoop. They've got a mascot named Theo. It's a turtle. And if you buy a stuffed turtle
17:33
for $25, you get a free ice cream. David got a blueberry lavender and their famous brownie waffle cone
17:44
And I got chocolate, mint, and a cup. All right, taste test
17:48
Let's get some hearty ice cream. Oh, that's really good. It's super rich and minty
17:58
That's really good ice cream. I got the dairy-free blueberry lavender. It's dripping good
18:05
It looks delicious. It's vibrant. it wow it's sweet that is a punch you get that subtle lavender you get the blueberry but it is a
18:15
sweet ice cream and man it is melting fast it's hot rainy we gotta eat these before it's too late
18:22
definitely come out here for dessert done a lot of eating the last couple days we gotta take a
18:27
little rest enjoy the beach but then we'll be back for lunch next stop is redfish taco we were
18:33
supposed to come here for lunch but we spent too much time at the beach and then took a nap and now
18:37
it's about eight o'clock so we're having dinner. So while we came here for the tacos they have a
18:42
huge bourbon selection. They have Pappy Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle, all the Winkles, all the Pappys
18:49
They got Stag, Blanton's. If you like bourbon this is definitely a sleeper because they got a huge
18:53
selection. They also have margaritas, all kinds of vodka, rum, all the things and a bunch of signature
18:58
drinks but we're not here for drinks. We're here for the tacos. So for our appetizer we went with
19:03
the trace dippers. All three of the dippers. We got queso, we have guac, we have salsa
19:10
Now, Terry's probably not going to try the guac, so I'm going to jump into that, and then
19:14
we'll let Terry try the queso and the salsa. That's some hearty guac. The chips are thin
19:21
They're not standing up to the guac right now. Oh, yeah. That's some chunky guac
19:25
come to. It looks like a half an avocado. It's a solid guac. Very chunky. Very avocado forward
19:33
which you like in a guac. It's good salsa. Tangy. It's got a little bit of heat, but not too much
19:38
Kind of creeps up on you. These chips are great. They're thin, but really crispy. A queso is really
19:43
creamy. It also has a little bit of heat to it, but not too much. It's very good. This is definitely
19:48
a lively spot. They have live music outside, and then they have the tunes bumping on the inside
19:53
If you're looking for an upbeat, fun spot for food, this is it
19:57
If the food matches the energy in here, then it's going to be delicious. I went with the redfish tacos because it's in the name
20:05
So it has to be good. And Terry got... I got the brisket tacos. I don't even think there's a taco in here
20:11
It's just a mountain of brisket. You can smell the smoke from here
20:15
So while they have a lot of seafood options on here, they also have chicken, pork, and brisket
20:20
That's a lot of fish. God. Taco cheers. That fish is flaky, delicate, flavorful
20:31
There's some sauces and some creams on here that make it pop
20:36
This is a really good taco, and it's very large. I can barely pick mine up
20:41
There's so much meat on here, but it's so smoky. It's so tender
20:45
It's really good. That's a wrap on our golf cart food tour of Grayton Beach
20:49
We ate so much food. It was all really good. I really loved redfish, what about you
20:54
Yeah, it was great, the food was great the energy was amazing, after all that food
20:58
I think we need to do a Graydon Beach tour of gyms because I definitely packed
21:02
on the Elbs this weekend. Yeah, we gotta hit the gym, I don't know if I'm ready to get back
21:06
in a bikini anytime soon. If you like this video, check out this video right here where we did
21:10
a multi-course food extravaganza at an Amikasi restaurant called M&P 38 right here
