British Tiktokers sample south Louisiana cuisine, swamp tour on visit to Houma

• British TikTokers Joshua Cauldwell-Clarke and Jason Riley visited Houma, Louisiana, documenting their culinary and wildlife experiences.
• The duo sampled barbecue at Big Mike’s BBQ Smokehouse, trying various dishes including brisket and ribs.
• They then embarked on a swamp tour with Cajun Man Swamp Tours, where they observed and fed alligators.

Two traveling British TikTokers visited Houma for some local flavor and to check out the wildlife.

Joshua Cauldwell-Clarke and Jason Riley are from Nottingham in the United Kingdom, best known from their on-camera reactions to American cuisine as @JohnandJase on TikTok. They currently are traveling through southern Louisiana. They stopped in Houma May 12, where they ate at Big Mike’s BBQ Smokehouse and then went on Cajun Man Swamp Tours.

“That’s the size of my head,” Cauldwell-Clarke said, holding a slab of brisket next to his head. He then took a bite, eyes rolling back as he chewed, “That’s good brisket.”

The two ate three trays of food and many large plastic cups of sides. Owner, operator and pitmaster Mike “Big Mike” Lewis was seated just off camera as the two ate. The meal included mac n cheese balls, ribs, brisket, beans, mac and cheese, green beans and banana pudding.

“They were pretty cool guys,” Lewis said. “It was fun.”

After scarfing down the massive meal, the two headed to the swamps with Captain Billy Gaston giving them an up-close experience with some alligators. Gaston is the owner and operator of Cajun Man Swamp Tours, which operates in Gibson.

“They wanted to wrestle the alligators, but I told ‘em my insurance wouldn’t cover it,” Gaston said.

Instead, he gave the two a long metal pole with a hook with pieces of chicken on the end, and the two fed the gators.

“They’re so strong aren’t they,” Riley said after the gator pulled the chicken from the pole.

While in Houma, the two announced they are having a raffle for Americans to visit the United Kingdom. To enter into the drawing click here, or visit their TikTok.
