Paul Brown is soccer fan from England who traveled to the United States for the World Cup. He had a gun flashed at him during his visit to Memphis.
Don’t worry, it was not threatening!
We have seen a large number of international soccer fans document their stateside journeys over the last few weeks. This is the most authentic experience to date.
Paul Brown is traveling the United States for the World Cup.
Paul Brown is mainly known for two things. He is a Cleveland Browns fan who lives in England and a massive foodie. The London-based vlogger has more than 100,000 followers on Instagram, 35,000 followers on X and ~3,000 subscribers on YouTube.
Although the majority of his content is based around the Browns and what he eats in his home country, the month of June is different. Brown arrived to the United States for the World Cup. He will spend the next few weeks traveling the country.

Brown had a great time in Las Vegas.
He explored the home of Breaking Bad.
Texas was something of a fever dream.
Buc-ees got a 10 out of 10.
England fans completely took over ‘Texas Live!’ in Arlington.
His first experience with brisket in the Lone Star State was an overwhelming hit.
And then it was off to Music City! Brown changed his plans to make a stop in East Tennessee before he made it to Nashville.
International soccer fans need to be careful in Memphis!
Paul Brown most recently drove from Dallas to Memphis. He made stops at Graceland and Uncle Lou’s Fried Chicken.
For those who are not familiar with the Bluff City, Uncle Lou’s is considered one of the best chicken joints in the city — and the South. It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives for a reason.
Uncle Lou’s is also located right in between the airport and the former home of Elvis Presley so it makes for an easy stop. However, it is not in the safest part of town. There are much worse and it is not a huge concern during the day. But you do have to keep your head on a swivel.
Brown discovered this reality in real time. He told the two men sitting next to him that he “felt a bit on edge” in the restaurant. One of the two men said that he was “in the hood” and flashed the strap. His buddy was cracking up.
There are a lot of people saying that Brown shouldn’t have been there. Those people are ignorant. I have had many delicious meals at Uncle Lou’s. Yes, you do have to be aware of your surroundings. No, you aren’t in immediate danger for having lunch.
And in that exact moment, Brown was in the safest place he could be. Nobody was going to mess with the England soccer fan who traveled to the United States for the World Cup and just discovered fried chicken for the first time. The guys sitting next to him wouldn’t let that happen. They loved him.
