I ate at every Rainforest Cafe in the Country

Please follow Ted to see his video on the trip tomorrow! - brvid.net/u-TedNivison

I feel really bad for the employees. Just imagine hearing that thunderstorm every 20 minutes...8 hours each day...

I am horrified that my local mall, The Mall of America, is home to the original Rainforest Café. I walk by that thing every once in a while, never daring to step foot in it. The crocodile in the water pool outside the menance stared at my soul when I was a child, so I always threw him a nickle or a penny that was orginally my mother's. It was the sacrafice to keep him from haunting my nights. I will never forget the roars he made. A crocodile doesn't roar. But he did.

I feel Eddy is gonna walk into a mall 8 years from now, see a Rainforest Cafe, and completely snap.

I love the difference between Eddy’s horror intro and just how awful it was… and then there’s Ted who’s video shows just pure nostalgia and bliss

The crazy part wasn't taking a three-week trip just to eat at Rainforest Cafes; it was driving 8,000 miles in a pickup truck instead of a car. (And I say this as a Tacoma owner.)

the fact that i’ve spent 30 minutes watching a guy go insane only to go to teds channel to watch another 30 minutes of a guy enjoying himself touring the country with a guy going insane next to him is so funny

my favorite thing about the Disney Springs rainforest Cafe is it's like a 2 min walk from t-rex Cafe, which is literally the same concept but with Dinosaurs. Instead of a thunder storm every 20 minutes it's a meteor shower.

Imagine working at Rainforest Cafe and having to hear thunder sounds… everyone 20 minutes… for every 4 to 8 hours of your shift

This is one of the most unique travel experiences I've ever seen. Traveling to compare Rainforest Cafes seems strange, but honestly I wish I could have that experience. There used to be a Rainforest Cafe almost everywhere across the country. Then one by one they closed down some of the restaurants. I don't have a Rainforest Cafe near me anymore. If I could visit one again, my inner child would be happy.

Making a decision to repeatedly subject yourself to food that aggressively mediocre suggests a capacity for self-loathing that I never thought possible. I applaud you, sir.

I like the part where he goes to Rainforest Cafe

This might possibly be the best video I’ve every watched. When they were designing the internet in a garage somewhere 30 years ago, this is the type of content they didn’t imagine could be created. I pray that today you take 37 minutes to watch this, and allow the stupidity of the internet wash over you, and be cleansed by the pure originality that this video is. It’s perfect. In every way, it’s perfect.

For some reason the fact that the nearest Rainforest Cafe to me is unanimously considered the worst one fills me with pride.

It'd be funny if the rainforest cafe saw this video and sent them a gift certificate for a free rainforest burger and safari fries to commemorate their accomplishment!

Makes me very proud you liked my city’s Rainforest Cafe. San Antonio, baby! ❤️

I really loved how you got to meet up with family and friends along the way. Makes it worth all the safari fries

I just love "It's actually a cool spot to eat? That doesn't really make sense to me, I'm supposed to be in a mall and depressed"

Watching this one second is so funny because seeing just how miserable you really were while Ted was having the time of his life is fascinating.

Imagine walking into a generic mall and seeing the Cheesecake Factory as you enter and cross the hallway into a rainforest cafe

Someone mail this guy a $100 rainforest cafe gift card, MAKE HIM GO BACK!

not sure what would compel someone to actually follow through with this ambitious but profoundly stupid plan, but i applaud the joint effort nonetheless

You made me chuckle. Can't believe you actually went to every rainforest cafe. In the same mall as the one in Nashville, theres a restaurant called Aquarium which has a very rainforest cafe vibe, but it's of course ocean themed.

I worked at the Grapevine Mills location for a solid 2 weeks about 8 years ago. They make you memorize and take a test on all the animatronics, their names, and what their favorite food is.🫠 If you fail the test you are still a trainee and have to retest. They also get crazy busy. The Grapevine Mills one is right by the airport so a lot of people go to that mall on layovers. I’ve heard from people who worked at the Disney Springs location that it’s absolutely filthy and they would never eat there. Also sad you didn’t go to the T-Rex Cafe at Disney too lol.

as someone who has never been to a rainforest cafe in my entire life, after watching this & ted's video i can't decide if i really want to go to a rainforest cafe or not lmfao

So happy you got to experience the World's Largest Definitely Real Pistachio during your travels. Also the scene where Eddy stares at the bathroom tiger was legitimately unnerving.

So in the bathrooms, the murals look painted and not like wallpaper or whatever, and they look very similar in style which leads me to believe that a long time ago one sad mural artist had a similar experience traveling across these United States to paint every rainforest cafe bathroom in the country

Not only did it make me so happy to see Eddy go to the rainforest cafe I went to as a child, but the EXACT SAME safeway gas station I used to use and Tailgaters I used to go to. Amazing

It's a damn shame the Michigan rainforest cafe was only a footnote, I go there every year for my birthday, which I had one today, so my disappointment is only matched by the fear induced by the all-knowing youtube algorithm.

This documented the American experience in the most accurate way. How far apart everything is, the random giant things everywhere. The rain forest cafes. Saving Private Ryan playing at full volume in a Texas Midas. Incredible documentary

It's funny to think that while these two are seeing all the Rainforest Cafes across the continent, the people in these towns probably have only seen the one they live near. The people in Galveston probably think that every RC has a water ride or is that high quality, some people who live near the shitty mall RCs probably think they're all like that (which they wouldn't be entirely wrong). I've lived near the Disney Springs one my whole life, it's not the greatest, but it's cool. I thought they'd only be near amusement parks or like Las Vegas and NYC, it's sad to see the shitty mall ones, basically left to rot along with the rest of the mall.

I would've loved to see a tier list of the food you tried.

i didn’t really know anything about ted before this video, now i’m a fan and love Chuckle Sandwich! also, super fun seeing how different both of their videos were, and i loved them both so much

So having grown up near Niagara Falls, Canada, I had never seen, or heard of another Rainforest Cafe, other than the one there. Therefore, I grew up believing that the Canadian one was the only Rainforest Cafe in the world

Incredible dedication to the bit 👏 hope you don't have recurring thunderstorm nightmares 😀

I feel like the ceo and board of this presumably failing company have frantically studied this video numerous times

My biggest takeaway from this video is that the Towson, MD Rainforest Cafe does not exist anymore. I drive past the mall it was in fairly regularly and never realized. I just looked into it and it's been closed since 2009. Shows how observant I am. And how much I cared about the Rainforest Cafe.

Fun fact: I was in Disney world, staying at the Saratoga springs hotel while y’all were eating there. Biggest flex in my life so far.

That smile as Eddy walked out of the Vegas Rainforest Cafe was the most genuine smile of all time.

Sometimes I close my eyes and dream of Safari Fries

the fact that this guy went to grapevine mills of his own free will really shows his dedication

Know you're doing a good job when I watched this entire 30+min video, and then watched the other guy's entire 30+min video, and I have never heard of either channel. 👍👍

They should make a TV show out of this. It should be called,”Ted & Edd’s rainforest adventure”

This whole video was funny, but I absolutely lost it at “I don’t mean to be crass, but can I see your mud flaps?” I’ve never heard that phrase before but now I’m afraid I might use it in everyday conversation from now on

You and Ted are single-handedly keeping Rainforest Café financially afloat.

Came to see Eddy slowly descend into madness, imagine my surprise to see Maya from the tiny mic series making a cameo too!

This is absolutely blowing my mind because I guess I have always just lived in the exact places that Rainforest Cafes exist. I legit thought every single mall had one because from AZ to TX to MI to MN, every place I’ve lived the mall has had one 😂

As I kid I simultaneously loved the Rainforest Cafe and feared it. I used to get physically ill during thunderstorms and I assume it had to do with the thunder being very loud and scaring me. And once while at the Rainforest Cafe the thunder sound was so loud I immediately got sick--right into my mom's hands 🙃 Fortunately I no longer get sick at the sound of thunder and it's now a comfort sound, but I miss the strange ambiance of a Rainforest Cafe.

These are honestly my favorite kind of BRvid videos. I don't know why, but they're just absolutely perfect and speak to me.

the thought of you actually just pivoting into a full on review of 1995's jumanji is hilarious

I loved you and teds videos! They were amazing and funny! And for my birthday I am going to my closest rainforest cafe! Thank you for making my day a little better!

This gave me back a memory from when my sister was getting married, and i was 13. We had gone shopping for bridesmaids dresses and there was a Rainforest Cafe in the mall (they actually visited the one in my state, but went into a different entrance than we did). We went into T.G.I.Fridays instead, but I always wondered what it was like inside… There was a freaky ape statue that scared the shit out of me right in front of the café. I wish we would’ve gone into The Rainforest Café, as it’s the only thing I remember about that day at all.

Eddy, this is the first video of yours I've ever seen, and I'm glad I picked this one to start!! You're braver than me for trying something like this. I've been to the Rainforest Cafe exactly once (it was the Gurnee Mills location) and I don't remember anything about it except that I was afraid of thunderstorms at the time (I want to say I was about 8) and I wasn't a fan of the thunder. The food looks way overpriced but my morbid curiosity kind of makes me want to go back up to Gurnee Mills to try it again.

i live in minnesota and grew up going to the rainforest cafe at moa, since we went up to moa probably once a month. it traumatized me as a child because when the thunderstorm comes all of the animals start screaming. anyways i had no clue it was the first rainforest cafe so that’s neat

I do enjoy Ted keeping his "Golden Retreiver at a suprise party" level of excitement/optimism, all while Eddie just slowly descends into rainforest induced madness

I really like the idea of Rainforest Cafe. I have great memories of it from when i was a kid. Themed restaurants arent really a thing anymore unfortunately, except for at theme parks like Disney and Universal... It's such a "90s" thing.

As a hardcore Terry Pratchett fan, I get mild to severe stress sweats every time you call an ape a monkey.

As someone from the Twin Cities, I apologize that we unleashed this curse upon the world. But also, the coconut shrimp is amazing.

My family did the Niagara Falls one every year while my dad attended some farmer conference. I'm glad to see the shark is still around, and I feel some sense of arbitrary unearned pride that it was one of the best locations

The dichotomy between Ted's seemingly unending, growing positivity and Eddy's spiral into a mad man talking to the bathroom monkeys is incredible.

Watching Ted’s video first then coming here to see Eddy’s descent into madness from his own perspective is so fucking funny

When I watched this video, I wondered, how could this be? How could you not enjoy a whirlwind trip around America, punctuated by visits to a neat theme restaurant? I was taking Ted's side, and that feeling doubled down after watching his video. So, I went to a Rainforest Cafe this week (the South Florida one) with a buddy of mine, just because of these videos! and like, I think, I will never go back lmao It wasn't even bad! It tasted alright, and it was a fun experience. HOWEVER -- my buddy and I spent $80 combined, and if I'm spending that kind of money, it better taste more than just "alright". Laying down good money, knowing that you could be somewhere better for that price, and travelling for hours just to do it all again, has to be a bit soul-crushing lmao. I could go to a steakhouse for the money I spent on a burger, appetizer, and a soda (buddy got some booze) here. Also, is it just me, or is there added sugar in the Safari Fries? Is that why they're... "safari"?

This is so wild to me. I had only ever gone to the rainforest cafe in Tennessee (despite living in both Houston & Galveston). So clearly I am going to make the 3 hour drive to the Galveston one this weekend, I am far too excited for this.

I spent my childhood at rainforest cafe living just outside of atlantic city, we would eat there casually, every birthday I went there, fond memories. Random but i actually have probably the best and most vivid memory of my grandpa from my birthday at rainforest cafe, it’ll be sad when that location closes down but i’m pretty sure it’ll happen soon.

Absolutely losing it at Eddy's slow descent into madness juxtaposed with Ted's unfailing chipper attitude. It's like live action Pinkie and the Brain. Delightful.

damn that food looks really good. I hope they open some in other countries that aren't the US

This video is so damn funny man. The Saving private Ryan part had me literally rolling. Great stuff Eddy Burback!

I live near the Ontario Mills Rainforest Cafe, the fish were removed because they kept getting sick for some reason. They got rid of them about 10 years ago.

Can't believe I watched the whole thing. This was well done.

My earliest memory is leaving that Nashville, Tennessee Rainforest Cafe with my uncle sometime in 2004. I live in michigan and never thought I would see that again. Thank you eddy.

I love watching both of these videos back to back for the perspective for one man it's a glorious never-ending ride of fun, for the other it's a complete hell and torture that a man must endure as he slowly delves into insanity

It’s a little ironic that most of the items on the menu are threatening the health of rainforests and the environment worldwide 😬

As a young child, I always thought my rainforest cafe (at the MOA) was the best in the world. I am now sad to see how A Canadian rainforest cafe and a texan rainforest cafe can now ruin my childhood pride.

Eddy's experience compared to Ted's is like the hard mode campaign you unlock after beating the main story

The more Eddy suffers, the more powerful Ted becomes. We need his side of the story where he describes it as the best 3 weeks of his life.

what an emotional journey. never before has a youtube video warranted a genuine smile and applause. we laughed, we cried, we screamed. wow, what a moment. we've witnessed youtube history.

Aaaahhh Galveston is my home! And yes, it’s not just great bc of the rainforest cafe. I grew up going to Galveston that I finally moved there. Hope you enjoyed your stay. And also honestly, this trip, rainforest cafe or not is a really great route idea. I’ve lived in a few of the cities you visited and this would be a fun trip around the best parts of the country

I recently just went to the one in Ontario Mills and it was so freaking nostalgic it was glorious lmfao *btw I got the quesadilla and it slapped so-*

I like how eddie becomes more and more insane as the video goes on

I love how for Ted the trip was like a religious pilgrimage, but Eddie basically just had a three week long mental breakdown.

I’ve never been to a rainforest cafe and was curious what’s ours in Chicago was like. It got 2 seconds of airtime… I’m sorry you lost your mind my friend. Thanks for the entertainment!

I have to say I am ecstatic that our rainforest cafe here in Niagara Falls Ontario Canada was one of the better experiences that you had. I wish I had known you were coming I would have shown you around even if it was only for 30 seconds. Lol. ❤️🇨🇦

Omg, the pan to the Galveston one literally made my jaw drop! That huge waterfall building looks absolutely amazing!

God this reminds me when i first went to a Rainforest afe in London. It was part of a school trip, where we went to theme parks and saw shows ect, but one of our dinner bookings was at the cafe. We had to order in advance from a limited menu (liturally either brocolli pasta or a burger), thiugh i had booked to have a burger at the previous place so I chose the pasta. Everyone else besides me and maybe two other people ordered the burger. Every single burger? Pink. Uncooked pink. Pretty much everyone on the trip was sick and I'm so glad I dodged a bullet there. I'm sure it's because it was a family trip, as I've not had a bad experience at any rainforest cafe since.

As a native Houstonian, congratulations Eddy on being the first person to ever enjoy Galveston. People talk more smack on that poor little island than any other place in the state, lol.

The amount of work put into this video is amazing!

You're an incredible storyteller!

This was honestly your best video yet and one of my favorites in BRvid. Really entertaining.

While the video itself is gold, I have been laughing hysterically at the Saving Private Ryan in the Midas part of the video for at least ten minutes now. What an ABSURD movie to play at a car repair shop, omg.

Ted's increasing excitement accompanied by Eddy's slow descent into madness every RFC they go to is just perfect.

This whole trip is what I imagine a bad mushroom trip feels like

The only rainforest Cafe I've ever been to was the one in Niagra, so I had no idea that the quality of the restaurants was like that in the states!

Well there’s only one thing left to do. We need to speedrun this!

This might be my favorite BRvid video I’ve ever watched. Definitely my favorite one in the last two years.

i love rainforest cafe. i just wish they actually drenched you in water when the thunderstorms happen. it would make for a more realistic dining experience.

This might be my favourite video of the year 2022, or at least one of the thing that made me laugh the most in the past one or two years

In my mind I was thinking “what are the chances he’s going to go to the one in Ontario Mills?” And it’s the first one Thank you for visiting my first and only rainforest cafe location :)

Great video Eddy! 10/10! Thank you for this I love it!
