Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: The Biggest Buffet in America… Is It Worth It? 🇺🇸

Today we're trying all the food at the biggest buffet in America and this place is something else.

Now this is my idea of literal heaven.

We're in Pennsylvania's Amish country and we've come here for one reason, to visit Shady Maple Smorgasbord, the biggest buffet in America.

This place is absolutely enormous, we're talking a 200 foot long buffet packed with Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, American comfort food, freshly grilled meats,

endless desserts and more food than we could even imagine

and of course it's all you can eat i am the corn boy

but with this much choice where do you even begin we're

about to find out let's eat right now you guys have

been suggesting this one to us for a really long time

and we finally made it and i won't lie we are exhausted today

so very excited about a good feed we literally got back from the road trip through virginia

and tennessee yesterday long drive home like a 10 -hour drive home

and we haven't eaten anything yet today yeah so um

and it's absolutely popping off it is rammed this is the

biggest car park i've ever seen for a restaurant yeah

and this place feeds something like 1500 to 2000 people a day i don't even know what to expect

but i'm excited we're about to find out now i absolutely love a buffet.

Alex however isn't as big of a fan I would say.

That's usually because we go to breakfast buffets though.

Those are the best kinds.

No like eggs and bacon not

so much for me whereas this I mean there's just

so much food including some traditional Pennsylvania Dutch dishes

that we need to try like a chicken pot pie with big noodles in it

and things like that so we'll see what's going on.

My question is how are they serving this for $21?

Yes.

That's insane.

Or you can eat $21 a piece.

So I'm a little bit concerned, but we shall see.

Love the little maple leaf. So good.

Well, and this building is massive.

Like, I don't think we're ready for how big this is.

Look at that chandelier in there.

September menu features.

Now they do three servings a day.

You have breakfast, then lunch is 12 till 3 30 so we're in

that window and then they have a dinner each day

which is on like a different and they have a special night yeah

so each night steak night

or yeah oh my gosh now just before we pop inside

look at this little arrangement this is a little bit fancy a little fountain display

doesn't

that warm your soul on the way in for a 21

buffet i'm getting like really home comfort vibes already like everyone's sort of turning up

and they're gonna have a good feed like i'm i'm loving it oh my goodness it's freaking massive

and this is just a lobby people aren't even eating in here it's like we're in a hotel

or something wow okay there's a gift shop guys visit our

huge gift shop we're gonna go there after how are you

good how are you good thank you we've never been here before um thank you

and then if you're looking for a booth then you would come here

and then i'll see you at your booth

and then i'll go over any questions you may have in addition to

that amazing okay cool thank you hello sorry i went to

the wrong place uh can we do two uh for the buffet please thank you very much

and where are you from london how comes

and would you hear us on youtube yes yeah you guys

are the biggest buffet in america right we're just like a

couple from france oh really well you must get people come from all over

because this place is known as the biggest buffet in america

right london australia switzerland i don't know like five different five different places in one week

so word gets around about this place then huh okay

so what do we need to try i personally like the

fried chicken fried chicken um my partner likes the beef brisket

okay as far as the desserts It's the carrot cake and the lemon corn.

Oh, okay.

Sounds good.

All right.

Thank you.

I got him now.

Thank you.

And then if you want to go ahead and follow me, I'll leave you to a quick survey.

Okay, great.

Yeah.

I have booth number 12.

Okay.

I have to make sure you remember that.

Yep.

The other thing you want to make sure you remember

while you're dining with us it's a yellow ticket here you want to make sure

that remains spaced up while you're dining here okay

when you're completely finished ready to leave yellow ticket you would

turn upside down i recommend i like the beef brisket okay she said that at the counter too right okay

everything okay cool everything's good okay um but just just help yourself

and then we do have a gift shop downstairs yeah we'll check

that out on the way out yeah too there's a lot Okay, well our lovely server Crystal just showed us to our seat.

I am completely blown away and a bit taken aback by how welcoming this place is,

how friendly, it's like they treat you like family.

Yeah, I feel like, literally feel like family and we've been here five minutes.

It's insane. So friendly.

So, so nice.

And I did read online that there's like a no tipping thing here.

Yeah, they're really straight on that.

100

Yeah, so you would pay the price, you pay before you come in, and then you get the yellow ticket, but there's no tipping, which I don't know why that is.

101

Particularly with us being in America, that's an unusual thing.

102

We're so used to the tipping culture here now, that for them to say strictly no tipping is a completely different concept.

103

But the level of customer service and how friendly these people are already, for us to notice it that extreme, that quickly, very impressed.

104

If the food is as good as the customer service, we might be on to a winner here.

105

Let's go and get some food.

106

Oh my goodness, it's huge.

107

It goes all the way down there.

108

What?

109

It is grand in here as well.

110

Like, the amount of people.

111

There is so much food.

112

Oh my goodness, pizza.

119

That's all condiments there's another whole condiment section up there as well i've never seen a bucket of cholula like

120

that before there's

121

so much of it that's look at the baby rays whoa i'm a bit overwhelmed i don't even know where to begin.

122

There's pizza, there's burgers.

123

Oh look, Oktoberfest features.

124

Okay, we've made it all the way down to the end.

125

We're going to start at one end and work our way up because there is so much to get through.

126

The fried chicken, are we kidding?

127

We're going to have to give that a go.

128

Look at that.

129

And the meatballs right next to them.

130

Look at those.

131

They look really good.

132

They look so good.

133

Piece of fried chicken.

134

Wow.

135

Give that a go.

136

Should we split that?

137

It's a big piece.

138

Is that a lasagna over there?

139

Kind of want to try those meatballs too.

140

Baked cod, fried shrimp.

141

Is that, what is that, crab?

142

Crab gratin.

143

Oh, my word.

144

Beef lasagna.

145

Can we give that a little go?

146

Yeah.

147

Now, they do have a food waste policy where they say, like, please only take what you can eat

148

so we won't go too heavy too quickly let's just get

149

a plate each give it a little go what do we have chicken tenders chicken gravy get tenders

150

and gravy what is filling yeah guys what is filling what is what does this what is

151

that are they chicken croquettes oh my word

152

and then our famous roast beef so we need to try

153

that too get that and that looks great wow okay

154

and then included in the price are all your drinks as well

155

and they've literally got like coffee stations they've got all the

156

syrups yeah they have pumpkin spice syrup up there that's crazy

157

get whatever coffee you want they're all spoons what is going on here it's a whole grill

158

so they've got like this like philly cheesesteak on there

159

and like hot dogs and sausages all right now we are going to split a plate

160

because we want to try loads of different things and

161

if we got a plate each we just get all the same stuff yeah

162

so we're just going to split cutlery in here right

163

so we went for the fried chicken mashed potato beef lasagna meatball

164

and then the beef yeah it says our famous beef

165

so i kind of want to try that first look at

166

that all falling apart but they are making everything under the sun up there there's

167

so much food it's going to take us a while

168

that's good it's a good taste of home seriously look at you you're going to like

169

that like sunday beef that beef is really good seriously that's very nice

170

good old sundae right immediately transported to my nan's house on sunday i know it's great oh i love

171

that the mash looks a little creamy sort of soft for me i could just have plates

172

and plates of that it's pretty good that's

173

so good We've only had the beef and the mash and I'm freaking out already.

174

Right, now this fried chicken...

175

It looks like some of the breast fried chicken I've ever seen, to be honest.

176

It looks incredible.

177

Some of the breast fried chicken.

178

I see what you did there.

179

Flavour.

180

Yeah.

181

Well, let's not waste any time.

182

Oh, my word.

183

Oh, my word.

184

Pretty good piece.

185

That's so good.

186

Beef is better for me, though.

187

Well, yeah.

188

She's in our element now.

189

There's lasagna on there.

190

What are you waiting for?

191

21 dollars how are they making any money i mean it's pretty good

192

so far we're only scratching the surface where there's a lot

193

more food to go back for there's pizza there's burgers there's

194

a whole grill station you get philly cheesesteak up there this fried chicken is insane

195

and you've got every dip under the sun for it you

196

can get some cholula you can get some sweet baby rays

197

right lasagna now han is something of a lasagna connoisseur she does make a fantastic lasagna at home

198

so this is going to be the real test no fresh

199

they're good too how are they doing this like to find

200

somewhere that's consistently good across the board is impressive it's so good especially when they're making so many different dishes Right, meatball.

201

It's got like a sweet, almost like a mix between a tomato and a barbecue sauce.

202

Yeah, got like a glaze going on.

203

That was a good reaction.

204

That's good as well.

205

Are we five for five?

206

That is a fantastic meatball.

207

Five for five on the first plate?

208

Now guys, I won't lie to you.

209

When we look this place up, there are people in our comments that have been telling us, because we have family in pennsylvania

210

that have been telling us to come to shady maple for

211

a really long time like it's one of the places that we see come up in the comments quite a lot

212

we looked up online the pictures don't look great the pictures they take of the food don't look great

213

but first impressions of being here

214

that's a phenomenal meatball whatever they've got on there a little bit of

215

that beef too it's double down i don't think they have

216

to worry about their waste policy no what was this like so good

217

yeah right yeah a good lasagna i don't think these guys are doing themselves justice online

218

but then maybe they just don't need to no they've obviously

219

got a very loyal following yeah there's a lot of people

220

in here he's busy i will say the demographic is largely like older generation it does feel a little like that

221

but i mean good for you yeah for 21 dollars eat

222

your heart out i'd be in here once a week

223

but like you can go up there

224

and get a burger like a proper angus

225

and they're not small either no and they're made to water

226

and fries and that'd be one of the six dishes you eat for your 21 dollars exactly right whereas

227

if you went to like when we go to like chilies

228

or somewhere like that you're going to pay more than that for like

229

one meal so i mean there's like people are eating good yeah it's you know and that meatball is gone

230

in terms of the american restaurants that we've tried up until this point

231

dare i say it shady maple is winning for me well we've only had one plate like there's

232

so much more to go and the fact

233

that this is 21 came to 49 .54 after tax which is 37 pounds and 53 pounds

234

so the two of us are both eating all you can eat for less than 20 pounds each

235

it's pretty good round two i'm so excited

236

please only take what you can finish no wastage i'm not

237

spoilt for choice work i'm like that's cheese sauce yeah

238

that whole thing is just cheese sauce they've got chili they've got chili

239

smells good too i can smell

240

that chain from here look you can put it in one

241

242

chili around the campfire give the chili a go smells was

243

so good maybe pot of chili shrimp lobster salad chow chow

244

tuna salad potato salad then you've got all your dressings look

245

246

so much stuff there crazy i mean look how far down

247

259

like this is such a british thing like in the uk

260

261

262

so this is a taste of home for me

263

oh my gosh yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum Alex better hurry up,

264

because this is going to be gone by the time he gets back. That is so good.

265

I don't know how they're doing this.

266

Literally everything is a 10 out of 10.

267

You can't fault it.

268

What have you got popped off?

269

Did I get a new one?

270

Yeah.

271

So they just replaced it?

272

They bring over a new cutlery, yeah.

273

I was just thinking I definitely left my cutlery on the old plate.

274

Right, first off, we need to talk about this.

275

Really?

276

Because it's so delicious.

277

I mean, it's actually quite hard to find a baked potato here.

278

Right, in the US, and that's what I just said.

279

I said, like, this is the UK, right?

280

Simple and easy.

281

I kind of want a little...

282

Did you butter it?

283

Yep.

284

I haven't had a baked potato in the time that we've been here.

285

It's been a while.

286

It's so good.

287

And this would be dinner for us.

288

Yeah.

289

One night a week, right?

290

It's a taste of home.

291

It is phenomenal.

292

Isn't it? Do you know what?

293

I'd be happy to admit I didn't have much confidence coming into this.

294

No, I thought this was going to be bad.

295

I thought this was going to be bad.

296

It's blowing me away.

297

So far, let me talk you through what I've got here.

298

Yeah, what the hell have you got?

299

I popped off, alright?

300

Now, chicken pot pie.

301

Not the way that we would traditionally be used to it.

302

Yeah, where's the pastry?

303

This has got like big pasta sheets in it, I think, almost like a lasagna, I think.

304

So we have chicken pot pie, that's one of the chicken dumplings.

305

Oh my gosh.

306

I got peas because I love peas.

307

Yeah, Alex loves peas.

308

There's no other reason for that, I like peas.

309

I want to try the filling, so I got some of the...

310

Okay, some of that filling that we want.

311

It doesn't sound great, but we call it stuffing, so maybe it's the sound, like, is it a cousin of stuffing?

312

Maybe be um dried corn oh right in it goes yeah give

313

that a go it's corn it's just cool yeah okay good though what's that butternut squash oh i love butternut squash

314

oh that's good it's got like cinnamon on it try that right now

315

right now go on get that in your face take it over there We've got it all going on over here.

316

It is a bit like random though, isn't it?

317

It's like you can have a bit of everything.

318

Like we've had a bit of roast beef and a chilli and Jackie and we've got some of this stuff.

319

It's a bit like...

320

Oh, that cinnamon is so good.

321

Right.

322

Let me get back in there.

323

And we've got mac and cheese.

324

Yeah, try that too.

325

It looks a little thick for me.

326

I do love mac and cheese.

327

You do.

328

Is it good?

329

I'm just tucking into your baked potato over here as well.

330

I'm filming Hannah and just like stealing her food with my spare hand.

331

The baked potato is great.

332

I want to give this a go.

333

Chicken dumpling?

334

Yeah.

335

Er, not dumpling.

336

Chicken...

337

No. Croquette.

338

Chicken croquette.

339

Well done.

340

That's right.

341

Oh, little ASMR.

342

Can you hear that, guys?

343

Oh!

344

Okay.

345

Okay, and I'm not too sure on the inside of that.

346

It's interesting.

347

They've given me reason to trust them at this point.

348

Yeah, I know.

349

not really my thing looks a little dry does it need

350

um gravy on it they've got all the gravy options under the sun out there

351

so yeah yeah go back in for your chili isn't this

352

isn't this fun look here we go a bit of mac

353

and cheese that little go see i don't care for that

354

i am willing to go on record and say

355

that i believe mac and cheese is one of the most overrated things

356

on planet earth now don't take the don't listen to me

357

it's not it don't the two don't mesh i don't get it it's cheese

358

and it's pasta it doesn't i'd rather have a tomato

359

and basil sauce let me get back in there on

360

that baked potato you got there i need my mac

361

and cheese lovers to rally with me in the comments nope

362

right please can we tell alex off in the comments don't lie to yourselves

363

because that who doesn't like a mac and cheese Please.

364

I just said to Alex, we didn't get any footage of the plates of food before we ate them.

365

This is something we do struggle with quite a bit, to be honest.

366

We just got a bit too excited.

367

Chicken pot pie?

368

Oh yeah, give that a go.

369

It looks more like a creamy, herby chicken lasagna to me.

370

No. Oh.

371

Uh -uh.

372

Oh.

373

We were doing really well until then, no. Have a drink.

374

Annoyingly, that's one of their signature dishes.

375

that's not good okay

376

so the chicken pot pie is a firm no maybe it's

377

just a bit of a surprise to the system it tastes like chicken soup

378

if you had like soggy bread in it i've got to

379

try it now you might like it it doesn't look the best i'm not gonna lie you dropped half of that

380

was that intentional that's horrendous it's not great wash it down with some filling I don't want that, is I?

381

I don't know what's in this.

382

It just looks like mush.

383

This is the filling.

384

This could go horribly.

385

Once you get your head around the texture of that, the flavour of it is actually really good.

386

Don't know what's in it.

387

Oh, perfect.

388

It's good though.

389

Potato wedge, some peas.

390

Shout out to the peas.

391

Just one of the most universal, you know, you can put peas in any and everything.

392

What is that?

393

A sweet potato?

394

No, it's just a potato wedge.

395

Oh.

396

Good.

397

I told you though, from this plate, I think the butternut squash is the winner.

398

Wow.

399

The butternut squash is fantastic.

400

I think I have to agree.

401

But I like the dried corn too, mix all that together.

402

Get some peas on there.

403

We're going to avoid the mac and cheese because...

404

We don't.

405

Round three.

406

This might be the final round before the showstopper.

407

Yeah.

408

Thank you.

409

Thank you.

410

She's the nicest lady ever.

411

right the showstopper is all of the desserts and baked goods

412

but we're going to get one final plate

413

so many dessert options you're not even ready no it's ridiculous

414

so this is one of the grill stations

415

and then on the board above it tells you what they're doing

416

so this is carved ham how do you say

417

that kill that's the kielbasa kielbasa smoked beef brisket and smoky cheesesteak with or without onions.

418

I mean the cheesesteak is here, look.

419

It looks so good and they're just putting it in baguettes, like what?

420

I know.

421

Oh my word.

422

Now at this end we've got the fried chicken again but we've got ham balls, barbecue chicken, which is instead of the fried it's like drumsticks in barbecue sauce,

423

hot wings, barbecue wings, fried shrimp, then you've got the cod, so much food.

424

And then on the grill too we've got corn fritters potato cakes beef hot dogs

425

and black angus steak burgers well i might need to get

426

a burger do you think yeah i kind of want to try the potato cake too

427

because they've got them on the grill there we have to

428

get something from the grill section hi can i get a burger please thank you london yes thank you

429

and then can i get the potato cake thank you very much.

430

Thank you so much.

431

433

That's right.

434

Thank you.

435

Thank you so much.

436

Thank you.

437

Burger toppings.

438

Oh yeah, now you can have some fun.

439

Yeah.

440

Can I just say it again?

441

It's the community feel in here.

442

It's just like everything.

443

They are the kindest people.

444

He was like, do you want a corn fritter as well?

445

Sure.

446

Now this is my idea of literal heaven.

447

get a slice of pizza too at this point baked potato

454

and i've got a burger yeah why not oh she's off

455

come on i mean we've got to try the pizza right

456

it's got to be done welcome back welcome back welcome back

457

to booth number 12 round three They're going to have to roll us out of here.

458

466

Nothing too fancy, but it does the job.

467

Right now, I've lost my knife and fork again, and this time I haven't got a new one yet.

468

So, spoon it is.

469

We have a potato cake and a corn...

470

I've never had a corn fritter before is

471

that it's like a corn pancake yeah what is

472

that just like crushed i feel like i feel like this

473

needs something on it for it to look a little bit lame it does a little bit

474

so i apologize if i'm supposed to have this i'd imagine like you put some gravy on that

475

or something yeah what do we put on the corn fritters

476

yeah what that's true actually what's the maybe some apple sauce

477

oh now am i biased because

478

i am the corn boy no one is more obsessed with

479

corn on the cob than alex he loves corn my auntie makes these like corn ribs

480

and he goes through mounds of them like literally mountains they are

481

so good i'll give you guys the recipe the corn ribs

482

so you guys you know the movie interstellar well that's our favorite movie

483

and in that movie there's such a shortage of food

484

that all they can eat is corn they have like corn

485

souffle corn fritters corn soup corn ribs corn on the cob

486

sounds like a pretty good life to me you're not even

487

i don't mind it do you know what this corn fritter

488

is maybe my favorite thing of the day this man prefers corn on the cob than mac

489

and cheese yeah that's a crime that's a no -brainer no that's a crime no

490

because i tell you what corn on the club you can diversify it

491

so right okay you can choose your seasonings You could dip it in something, you could roll it in a little butter.

492

There are a thousand ways to do corn.

493

Three hours have passed, Alex is still speaking about the corn, so I'm going to indulge in the burger.

494

A little bit more on that.

495

You're actually joking right now.

496

The guy said, do you want a corn fritter?

497

I'm really glad he did.

498

OK, so we have got the beef burger that our lovely gentleman brought up to us.

499

Cheese in there, pickles and a bit of ketchup.

506

if you come to show you maple do not get

507

that no the corn boy approved that's right no will you stop

508

509

511

And then 20 minutes later, I remember they're there.

512

Anyway, potato cake?

514

OK, so that is, like, soft bubble and squeak.

fruit you've got fruit salad sugar -free jello a little bit

559

of pineapple worm okay now sadly i can't actually indulge in any of the desserts

560

and baked goods because of my peanut and tree nut allergy um

561

562

if you do have an allergy they're great here

563

and they just gave me this sheet of paper

564

which says my allergy and it tells me all the things on it

565

that i can't have unfortunately cakes pies any baked goods

566

567

so alex is going to indulge

568

and i'm just going to spectate then i guess it's dinner for six for one i take it we're saving

569

that thing's the end because what is

570

573

How's your week going?

574

Cherry cobbler.

575

Now, if you guys have been to Shady Maple, I know for a fact that there's going to be things that we've missed.

576

So you're going to let us know what they are.

577

But I think we've covered a lot of the bases today.

578

I think we have.

579

Anyway, a little cherry cobbler.

580

Not me, literally just sat here, devastated that I can't try this right now.

581

Prefer the apple.

582

Still good, though.

583

I'm having a good time, see what's going on here, see who Mr Pineapple is when he's at home, mmm, right, right, can you hurry up and try this thing,

584

the anticipation is too much, what was it, cotton candy,

585

alright, this is going to be a love or hate I feel like,

586

interesting, it's not bad, the flavour is like pure sugar, this is going to sound terrible but it's not as terrible as it's about to sound,

587

it's like pure sugar mixed with paint, that's kind of how it comes across I don't really know how to portray this

588

that doesn't sound good to me what an unusual thing that's horrendous I mean it doesn't taste bad

589

but like sugar and paint guys do we think that's going to taste nice?

590

I think that sounds horrendous it is like a mousse

591

but it's so thick and like sugary

592

that I can't eat like more than three spoons of that like there's no way I could eat that

593

that's so cool it's really well done isn't it coaching in the palmy days what does this say here

594

born in 1921 and created this that's insane there's

595

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
