I've always wanted to try Russian Honey Cakes, but I don't live an area that has authentic Russian cuisine.
This is where you find them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Americans_in_New_York_City
Also, Paterson, NJ is another hub- it has a lot of Ukrainians.
there are at least one farmer's market (owned by Poles) that sell these cakes too on the local highways.

That type of BBQ on the grill chicken is good, but smoked any type of meat is better.......... I guess low and slow is the best method in my opinion and most flavorful.
I posted the wrong video, the meat is smoked, I'm sure you've seen it. They typically have a cardboard box sign and the owner only takes cash:

Yeah I knew the location for authentic Russian cuisine was the Tri-State area.

Yeah some of them do................... smoked brisket, chicken, sausage, ribs, etc at a high level will change your life.
Basically anything done at a high level is life changing.

what do you think of american, italian, korean/japanese/french (basically they are similar), and chinese bakeries?

They're only as good as the ingredients they use, some use shit ingredients and you can taste the difference. Also usually the better places can recommend other high quality bakeries and eateries cause they know the difference. It's basically like a club.
American bakeries are overpriced, and either mediocre or above average. Too much reliance on icing, which makes their cakes extremely sweet. Italian and Russian bakeries are the best and have the best goods & fair prices.
Korean/Japanese/French bakeries are usually pretty good over here but way, way too overpriced for what they are. It looks like the Koreans/Japanese copied the French methods and added some modifications of their own.
Chinese bakeries are good value for the price but mediocre or below average. Their breads are cheap, their cakes are overpriced for the mediocre quality.

My take on this is that you're going to pay the price for quality no matter if it's French, Japanese, Italian, etc cause there's a difference in quality of each ethnic bakery subset. I guess you can say it's all about preference as well too. Location of the bakeries can play a factor too as the product could be cheaper or more expensive due to where they get their ingredients from, cost of living, etc.

Good beef brisket will change your life............ pecan pie good, but not as good as brisket.

Those didn't look good though.
Yea, that's right. However in general (NY Metro area) the Korean/Japanese/French bakeries try to be up-market, American/Italian in the middle and Chinese (and American grocery stores) at value. That's why they are the most widespread. Russian cakes I can only find at that Farmer's market or when I'm in the right towns. So in poorer places there are only American grocery store bakeries, richer places will have Korean/Japanese/French bakeries to take advantage of traffic.

What are you talking about
Just remove those filthy jalapenos and they look really good!
(Buns look a little burnt though? Or did he do it on purpose to give it a bit more character 
)
cowboy is the guy you invite to manage a BBQ at a park, he can grill streaks in holes in the ground!
he has more souped up takes on regular outdoors foods!
Have you guys tried provolone on a burger?

They just don't look good, but I'm sure the taste of them are a different story.
