Max is the GOAT, family company that started out in a small town north of the arctic circle with a population of less than 10 000. Also Max and McDonalds have the same wings, but they're better at Max, they're more moist and have a better flavor to them, probably due to a different oil being used for frying them.
Max is our pride and joy in fast food, mc donalds is the "3 in the morning pissdrunk heading home from the bar"-joint. Burger king is the "whenever i want to taste something grilled during the winter since its too cold to do it myself"-place, and max is the "whenever ive got my paycheck and feel boujee"-deal
@@DoesntPayFullPrice Dunno if its true anymore but Max used to be the only fastfood chain in the world that managed to run a rival Mcdolands into bankrupcy and had to leave the city.
The key word for me is "fresh" taste, which makes Max the winner by far. The "Swedish" recipe for better burgers is tasty sauces (instead of just ketchup/mustard that will be the case in many countries - with optional plain mayo) .
@@PontidenvresigeWhat do you mean with dirty? If you're talking about how messy it can be inside restaurants, blame it on certain customers. The staff at Max try to keep everything clean, but when there's an unexpected rush of people, it's hard to keep the place clean AND push orders out quickly. It's a fine line between efficacy and maintenance at times.
Some interesting things that might confuse Americans going to a Swedish McDonald's: The soda on the receipt will show as size L/M/S on the receipt, which is not Large/Medium/Small, that's Swedish Liten/Mellan/Stor (ie. opposite order). Also a Swedish large coke is about same size as an American small size. So if you buy a large coke, you get a small US size, and it will say "Coke S" on the receipt 😆
max sucks they have the worst burgers ever and bad quality on the food just like mcdonalds and burger king the best burgers are at prime burger and basterd burgers and texas longhorn burgers restaurants
I like the MAX-franchise over the others too. Seeing Sweden is like one city in the US population wise, are there any nation wide burger restaurants/franchise in the US which aren't in other nations too (like McDonald's and Burger King) And was the menu at McDonad's & Burger King the same in Sweden as in USA or did it have variations? You guys also invented teleportation, Sweden to Iceland in the blink of an eye. That's impressive and should be worthy of a Nobel prize!
Max Hamburgare is the better alternative usually. It costs a bit more but you get Swedish ingredients (meat especially so you know animals have been slaughtered cruelty free) and generally its just higher quality food. Their milkshakes are insane too.
If you guys still are in Stockholm, then please google for top 10 burgers in sweden. The number one burger is located nearby Stockholm, in a suburb and its a food truck. However be there in time because the lines are supposed to be very long.
@@DoesntPayFullPrice Yes, their burgers are really delicious... and their lines are often very long. It's very nice to take a boat ride out to Nacka strand where it it. The Burgerdudes' webpage is a great site to find good burgers in Sweden, and elsewhere, btw.
I’m from the USA and come visit my son and his family in Sweden most every year I’m here now and in the 12 years I’ve been coming I haven’t had and US fast food Max makes really good burgers etc so I just go there My son says he still does McDonald’s every once in a blue moon
The MAX hamburger chain started in 1971 in the city of Luleå in Norrbotten. Max is the hamburger chain that beats out Mc Danaolds in several places in Sweden and is considered to have the best food among the hamburger chains in Sweden. Personally, I prefer the Flippin' Burgers place. Then they do everything themselves from scratch, such as grinding the ground beef with fat themselves and shaping the hamburgers, a bakery makes bread for Dee's hamburgers, they make the french fries themselves from potatoes, they pickle the red onion and cucumber themselves plus everything else they serve.
Fun to watch, not least since your hotel is just opposite my office. As for the Västerbotten cheese sticks, it is a cheese from the Västerbotten region of Sweden. It is a hard cow's milk cheese with tiny holes and a firm and granular texture. Strong in flavour, its taste is described as somewhat like Parmesan cheese, salty, but with more bitter notes. The Västerbotten cheese pie has become something of a staple among the treats for Easter, Midsummer, crayfish and Christmas in Sweden.
I love MAXs chicken sandwiches. The chicken is hella crispy and the parmesan added so much to that one. A little bit spice, nice crispy chicken and veggies and the parm slices. Got me craving it now. Maybe i should just take a little walk over to max for one 😂
Watching this with tonsilitus.. When you chugged them cups of soda. Never looked tastier lol! Think Im addicted to soda. 5 days without soda and that makes my mouth watery ;(
That is because Max has more than meat in their burgers, there is a lot of other things in them. You can’t eat the meat at Max if you are allergic to milk for example.
Love the chicken burgers from Max, almost nothing beats it. Next time you are in Stockholm, you have to try the burger foodtruck called "funky chicken food truck", its in Nacka. Have won swedens best burger like 3 years in a row.
6:25 Nah, Max is not the McDonald's here. Max is Max. If you want something really fast and trash - go to McDonald's. If you want something pretty fast but actually good burgers and fries - go to Max. If you're punk, got all the time in the world and got no taste buds - go to Burger King. Just kidding! 😁 I love Burger King! But Burger King is pretty unusual here.
Never heard anyone say a Kanelbulle has a "hot" taste, maybe they had a bit too much cinnamon in it. Or they just put way too much sugar in the US version. While there is a fair bit of suggar in a kanelbulle, it's not supported to overpower the main ingredient, the cinnamon. We also don't glaze them with melted sugar as I've seen them do with McDonald's cinnamon buns in the US(traditionally, I'm sure it's an option at bakeries), just sprinkle sugar on top. If you like it sweeter, there are versions with apple or vanilla. My mother used to sometimes make them with apples mashed into a fine paste(äppelmos) and spread thinly over the flattened dough before it's rolled up. Like it more then the chunky version i sometimes come across from bakeries.
Your mother's version sounds delicious! All cinnamon buns here in the US are covered in sugar frosting and also have butter and sugar in each layer. They are sickeningly sweet. Thie swedish way is a much better version, just not what we expected
Sweden also has a lot of medium/small sized chains that are really good/better. Just like in America. Bastard burger for example, they have a blueberry BBQ burger haha. Bun meat bun and jettz are good too.
I really liked Hamburgerbruket at the start, but the franchises I visited lost their edge during the pandemic. Could be because they started the chain not long before, so the dwindling number of clients due to social distancing made it really hard for them to survive.
And on top of that, McDonald's products in Sweden, or the EU, has WAY less health risk ingredients than the U.S - albeit fast food overall is not a good choice of food in any case... ;)
@@DoesntPayFullPrice , there's actually a very interesting video about this which shows you the rather huge difference between McDonalds products in the EU compared to the U.S, (in this case it's a comparison with the U.K but the same rules apply regarding ingredients that are banned in the EU for puclic health safety reasons); ruclips.net/video/ZMaW6TamNAc/видео.html
American minced meat is banned for import to the EU for that reason, so is American chicken and tons of other foods. It's quite the difference quality wise, for sure.
@@DoesntPayFullPriceYeah, I remember being surprised whenever I saw Americans do fast food tier lists. Although it's still not exactly an amazing burger, I would rank it above our McDonalds.
For reindeer burgers, you have to travel to northern Finland - not as many options for sauce and spices, but the quality is superb. But back to Swedish fast food: If you enjoyed those burgers, you really should try something from "Sibylla". If you find a well established Sibylla fast food restaurant, they will have some of the best burgers available. Next step would be any of the proper restaurant burgers (the ones without drive-in) from "Bastard Burgers", "Tugg Burgers", "Phil's" etc - usually smaller franchises.
That is good to know! I saw a lot of Bastard burger locations around Stockholm and almost went to check it out. Thanks for taking a look at my channel!
I used to eat reindeer burger in Umeå, in Sweden, back in the 90's. Sami exist in both Finland, Sweden and Norway. But to find it you need to be closer to Sami Land than Stockholm.
Naaaah, not Sibylla. They have dropped so far from what they once were. At least here in Gothenburg. Now its just those generic gatuköksburgare. Frozen patties that everyone use, nothing special.
@@DoesntPayFullPrice Definitely try Bastard Burger if you have the chance they are on the same level as Five Guys. At least the Five Guys I've tried in London and the Bastard Burgers that I've tried in Västerbotten county.
That was fun! Hilariously, that is exactly the same Max I have been to a few times but usually only around 02.00 or later just before trying to figure out how to get back home. I go to McD's for my kids sometimes. Never been to Burger King.
@@DoesntPayFullPrice mixing it in (after fried with oil) into a green fresh salad, with tomatoes, cucumber, corn, with some sweet chili sauce dripped over it is also delicious 🙂 try google "halloumi salad" and watch photos 🤤 delicious and very healthy.
Halloumi is a name protected cheese primarily made from sheep, but can also be goat. But I has to be from Cyprus. It’s origin protected (like Champagne) so generally it’s considered really bad for the environment. Especially as Cyprus has the highest use of antibiotics in EU. There are heaps of similar local cheeses just not called Halloumi. For instance the Swedish made cheese is called Grilloumi. As it’s mostly grilled.
Great video!! You guys really missed out on the Green Garlic dip, it’s epic. And another great thing about Max it’s that they actually sell their dressings, dips and buns in regular supermarkets, so you can make your own patty with their dressing - there are however better Swedish franchises than Max. However the iconic quintessential burger ever must be the El Maco. A burger with “Tex-mex” flavors and fries with a special seasoning. Don’t know if you heard about “fredagsmys” when the majority of Swedes have a sort of tacos o Friday evenings. Tho it’s nothing like tacos… it’s hard cornbreads or soft tortillas, with mince beef with a special seasoning, salsa (yeah right), and veggies. Pretty nice and actually delicious but really not more taco than a roasted corn on a cob…
@@DoesntPayFullPrice Max also sells their vegan burger patties, vegan chicken nugget and schnitzel equivalent as well as their actual chicken products in regular grocery stores too.
If you're still in Sweden you should visit Bastard Burgers and especially try the Cloudberry Grenade soda. Soda Nation in Stockholm could also be a fun visit!
Bastard burgers are absolutely delicious! And there's at least one at Arlanda airport! Also, for a really unique burger experience, you need to go to a combined grill and pizzeria that has the "Carlskrove" on their menu. (It's a supersized burger meal, enclosed inside a calzone pizza! Soda on the side though😂)
Oh thank God you didn't visit the McDonald's at Folkungagatan near the Max you went to. Then again...cold McDonald's food after traveling from T-Centralen....😂
In general 10 Swedish kronas are about one dollar so it's easy to translate. I have a friend in NJ and prices are roughly the same or slightly more expensive here in Sweden. And usually Swedish salary is also a bit lower. But Sweden is cheaper than the other Nordic countries.

So if a comparison is done, remember to compare the price you pay, not the price on the menu.
MAX Korean chicken bbq is hands down the best burger they have. That thicc chicken, onion rings and sauces are 👌 Also eating Västerbotten sticks fresh from the fryer is amazing.
@@DoesntPayFullPrice It's available a few months a year, like a seasonal burger.

Hämta is collect/pick up/fetch. But hem is home and ta is take/bring. So that got me thinking whatever hämta could come from hem ta "home take" as in bring back home? In Sweden we can make words from putting other words together so we may not have as many unique/specific words but put together words which describes the thing. Like in Swedish wiper is vindrutetorkare = wind shield drier. Poor example.
@@DoesntPayFullPrice But hämta doesn't mean "bring back home", you can say "Kan du hämta bollen?" as in "can you fetch (go pick up and bring back) the ball?" Even "Hämta filen" as in "download the file" but a more literal translation to that would be "Ladda ner filen" ("load down the file.") But of course you brought back wood, food and goods to the home before.
max is not as good as it used to be. And their fried chicken is not even close to most I have had in georgia. Nothing in sweden compares to bojangles, zaxbys, kfc, popeyes etc.
@@DoesntPayFullPrice Burger with beef, Bacon, Your normal vegetables, Max dressing and heavenly sour dough bread on top 😍👌, That bread makes the burger, Its insanely good and what made max popular af when they only had restaurants in the northern parts of Sweden 👌. Try a frisco with double paddys, Normal fries (best fries ever) , Hot cheese dip and honey curry dip. IF you do that in the summer and they have it order a "lyxshake" with hjortron (cloudberry i want to remember the name is in English!?) And dont forget the chili cheese tops to dip in honey curry/hot cheese And you will thank me later 😅👌👍💪
Welcome to Stockholm Sweden ! Next time you got to try the local food aswell! Oh, you guys forgot KFC btw. We do love our cinnamon bunns, so we dedicated an entire day for it, which happens on 4th of october.
@@DoesntPayFullPrice It is just called 'Kanelbullens Dag' or cinnamonbun day. We have a variety of these days, there is another Swedish sort of pastry called Semla, which has its own day too.
You should try TUGG. In my opinion they make the best burgers in Sweden. I recommend trying the double-smokey with either normal or mixed fries and for dip sauce the cheddar is so good. Keep up the awesome videos!
MAX is the by far best big chain fast food here. Sadly they've decreased in quality over the past 5-10 years. They used to be even better imo. Brödernas is a smaller chain that does absolutely delicious smash burgers.
I've only been to Max Burger in Sweden once but as they say first impressions are everything and their burgers were excellent. A 10 out of 10! I'm so used to McDonald's and Burger King so Max was a refreshing experience.
They are extremely meat-like and if bought frozen at the grocery store and fried at home or put on the grill, they have grains of coconut oil embedded in the paste before they got pressed and frozen, so they get really juicy, and if pan fried, the drippings they leave in the pan is great for frying actual meat afterwards or for adding flour and liquid to make a sauce or gravy❤
Real Swedish fast food is kebab and pizzas. But, the actually REAL Swedish fast food is hotdogs, fries, ketchup, mustard and räksallad. That's like the most Swedish one, if maybe not a "Pucko" drink and a "Tunnbrödrulle" which is like a bread with mashed potatoes, hotdogs or sausages or what have you, and some salads and shrimp salad (räksallad) ketchup and mustard. Mashed potatoes with hot dogs are probably the most Swedishiest of them all.
Oh no, these are eaten all the time. The tunnbrödrulle and the other one is kind of hard to come by these day I've noticed myself. Most people make it at home instead I suppose. The fries and hotdog dish is one that was much more common in the 70's and 80's, around the time "kebab" came to the scene. The typical swede prefer a hotdog or such if nothing else is available, these days it's common to come by places that also sell kebabs and hamburgers etc. @@DoesntPayFullPrice

Your mother's version sounds delicious! All cinnamon buns here in the US are covered in sugar frosting and also have butter and sugar in each layer. They are sickeningly sweet. Thie swedish way is a much better version, just not what we expected
Why wait with fries, must have become really soft?
@@vivii794 haha a few people have said that. They were still really good though
If you want the reindeer burgers or even elk burgers you need to travel up north. We have them here :).
I will absolutely make it up north next time
@@DoesntPayFullPrice they also have really interesting and weird pizza toppings up north 😊
MAX is an absolute favorite!
It was so good!
Their burgers is of shit quality. 80% meat and a bunch of potato starch and dextrose as fillers. The chicken sandwiches are allright I guess.
Always go with Max if I can, Burger King as a second and Mcd as a last choice
@@Templarofsteel88 love this. No one ever says anything good about fast food in the states
@@pekkalanger5076 Haha, and McDonalds and Burger King isn't? At least you know its real meat when it comes to Max
Sweden also has a lot of medium/small sized chains that are really good/better. Just like in America. Bastard burger for example, they have a blueberry BBQ burger haha. Bun meat bun and jettz are good too.
But Bastard burgers is a step above fast food. A mix between fast food and a "real resturant" burger.
@@liled800 Sa mest den för den brukar ha kul burgare
I did see a lot of bastard burger! I wish I checked them out too
I really liked Hamburgerbruket at the start, but the franchises I visited lost their edge during the pandemic. Could be because they started the chain not long before, so the dwindling number of clients due to social distancing made it really hard for them to survive.
@@bonnarlunda thats unfortunate
The sugar on the cinnamon bun is called pearl sugar
Thanks, I'm gunna have to try to find some here
And on top of that, McDonald's products in Sweden, or the EU, has WAY less health risk ingredients than the U.S - albeit fast food overall is not a good choice of food in any case... ;)
You can absolutely tell. The taste shows. Wish we were that forward thinking
@@DoesntPayFullPrice , there's actually a very interesting video about this which shows you the rather huge difference between McDonalds products in the EU compared to the U.S, (in this case it's a comparison with the U.K but the same rules apply regarding ingredients that are banned in the EU for puclic health safety reasons);
ruclips.net/video/ZMaW6TamNAc/видео.html
American minced meat is banned for import to the EU for that reason, so is American chicken and tons of other foods. It's quite the difference quality wise, for sure.
@@mnemetotoro banned for a reason. The quality is Definitely not top notch
I heard that Burger king is much better in europe than in america where its essentially a bottom tier burger.
It is %100 better!
@@DoesntPayFullPriceYeah, I remember being surprised whenever I saw Americans do fast food tier lists. Although it's still not exactly an amazing burger, I would rank it above our McDonalds.
Max used to be sooo much better. With the new owners the quality sunk to the ground📉, but it was still expensive…
That's too bad to hear
Max is the best one, you need to taste their burgers
@@WorldWatchNewsPodcast-q7h max was pretty good!
Swedish🇸🇪 company Max is the best. beats most burger chains. 1) Max 2), Burger King 3), Mc Donalds.
It surprised me how good max is.
For reindeer burgers, you have to travel to northern Finland - not as many options for sauce and spices, but the quality is superb. But back to Swedish fast food: If you enjoyed those burgers, you really should try something from "Sibylla". If you find a well established Sibylla fast food restaurant, they will have some of the best burgers available. Next step would be any of the proper restaurant burgers (the ones without drive-in) from "Bastard Burgers", "Tugg Burgers", "Phil's" etc - usually smaller franchises.
That is good to know! I saw a lot of Bastard burger locations around Stockholm and almost went to check it out. Thanks for taking a look at my channel!
I used to eat reindeer burger in Umeå, in Sweden, back in the 90's. Sami exist in both Finland, Sweden and Norway. But to find it you need to be closer to Sami Land than Stockholm.
Yes, Sibylla. It was there before McD and Max.
Naaaah, not Sibylla. They have dropped so far from what they once were. At least here in Gothenburg. Now its just those generic gatuköksburgare. Frozen patties that everyone use, nothing special.
@@DoesntPayFullPrice Definitely try Bastard Burger if you have the chance they are on the same level as Five Guys. At least the Five Guys I've tried in London and the Bastard Burgers that I've tried in Västerbotten county.
That was fun! Hilariously, that is exactly the same Max I have been to a few times but usually only around 02.00 or later just before trying to figure out how to get back home. I go to McD's for my kids sometimes. Never been to Burger King.
Max some time has a burger with pickled chilli which is the best, you really get the flavour of the chilli the heat usually hides
That is right up my alley! I love pickled Chiles 🌶️
Halloumi is goat cheese. Its usually cut in slizes like on the burger then fried. Its delicious to eat when having a cold pale ale ♥️🔥🍻
Thanks! It's not something you see at any fast food restaurants here in the states. Really good tho 🧀
@@DoesntPayFullPrice mixing it in (after fried with oil) into a green fresh salad, with tomatoes, cucumber, corn, with some sweet chili sauce dripped over it is also delicious 🙂 try google "halloumi salad" and watch photos 🤤 delicious and very healthy.
Halloumi is a name protected cheese primarily made from sheep, but can also be goat. But I has to be from Cyprus. It’s origin protected (like Champagne) so generally it’s considered really bad for the environment. Especially as
Cyprus has the highest use of antibiotics in EU. There are heaps of similar local cheeses just not called Halloumi. For instance the Swedish made cheese is called Grilloumi. As it’s mostly grilled.
@@qp9992 I didn't know this, thanks for the great info!
Wrong traditionally be should be made from sheep's milk k it's Greek.
I get that Max might be interesting for americans, but BK and Mcdonalds, isn't it pretty much the same across the world save for the cup sizes?
It's actually surprisingly different. Each country has different items as well as quality standards.
Oh you REALLY should have chosen one of the salted caramel shakes at Max. They are SO good. Next time!
Next time!
Great video!!
You guys really missed out on the Green Garlic dip, it’s epic. And another great thing about Max it’s that they actually sell their dressings, dips and buns in regular supermarkets, so you can make your own patty with their dressing - there are however better Swedish franchises than Max.
However the iconic quintessential burger ever must be the El Maco. A burger with “Tex-mex” flavors and fries with a special seasoning. Don’t know if you heard about “fredagsmys” when the majority of Swedes have a sort of tacos o Friday evenings. Tho it’s nothing like tacos… it’s hard cornbreads or soft tortillas, with mince beef with a special seasoning, salsa (yeah right), and veggies. Pretty nice and actually delicious but really not more taco than a roasted corn on a cob…
This is amazing, thank you so much!
Fredagsmys to me is cozying up on the couch with sweets and watch a movie or something similar
@@DoesntPayFullPrice Max also sells their vegan burger patties, vegan chicken nugget and schnitzel equivalent as well as their actual chicken products in regular grocery stores too.
Correction - there are no better Swedish franchises than Max. No other franchise comes close to Max.
What hotel did you stay at? Looks good with the balcony
Gissar Scandic Sjöfartshotellet
That's the one!
it's lite a swede visiting other continents to try herring...
Id watch that
Max is the best fast food in Sweden. And probably the best of the brands you have on the table everywhere in the world.
Based on what I tried, I would say that is true in my experience
max has by FAR the best chicken, so crispy and perfect
Good stuff 👍
I will say that the best chicken burger in Sweden is from Barrel's but it's more of a restaurant and not a fast food place.
@@fridahultgren8865 thanks for the great recommendation!
You should try Bores, they have epic burgers.
Thanks for the recommendation!
What Sweden call blueberry are called Bilberry in the USA
@@Josefsson9013 I have never heard of them. My understanding they are just wild blueberries
@@DoesntPayFullPrice google Billberry i guess you can call them wild blueberries😊
@@Josefsson9013 I'll have to check it out. Thanks for watching!
If you're still in Sweden you should visit Bastard Burgers and especially try the Cloudberry Grenade soda. Soda Nation in Stockholm could also be a fun visit!
That sounds amazing, thanks!
Bastard burgers are absolutely delicious!
And there's at least one at Arlanda airport!
Also, for a really unique burger experience, you need to go to a combined grill and pizzeria that has the "Carlskrove" on their menu.
(It's a supersized burger meal, enclosed inside a calzone pizza! Soda on the side though😂)
That västerbottenost would have been at its prak piping hot
It absolutely would
Oh thank God you didn't visit the McDonald's at Folkungagatan near the Max you went to. Then again...cold McDonald's food after traveling from T-Centralen....😂
What is wrong with that McDonald's?
That's great stuff.
@@SamFisherCell thanks for checking out the channel
I would love to hear how prices are compared to the USA, like what does the same meal cost, where ever you are from.
That is a great idea. I will add that in next time
In general 10 Swedish kronas are about one dollar so it's easy to translate.
I have a friend in NJ and prices are roughly the same or slightly more expensive here in Sweden.
And usually Swedish salary is also a bit lower.
But Sweden is cheaper than the other Nordic countries.

Remember, if you do a comparison to American prices, remember to show the prices with the sales tax included, since it's included in these prices. Looking at just American menus could be confusing (to us Europeans) since things look pretty cheap, but then the sales tax isn't included, and on the other hand our menues look more expensive since out sales tax is included. So if a comparison is done, remember to compare the price you pay, not the price on the menu.
I will have to do this going forward
thats awesome, thanks!
I have never been as hungry, as I am now!!! 😛
Thanks for checking out the video!
MAX Korean chicken bbq is hands down the best burger they have. That thicc chicken, onion rings and sauces are 👌
Also eating Västerbotten sticks fresh from the fryer is amazing.
I didn't see the Korean chicken. That sounds great. Those vasterbotten sticks were pretty amazing
@@DoesntPayFullPrice It's available a few months a year, like a seasonal burger.
Hämta is collect/pick up/fetch.
But hem is home and ta is take/bring. So that got me thinking whatever hämta could come from hem ta "home take" as in bring back home?
In Sweden we can make words from putting other words together so we may not have as many unique/specific words but put together words which describes the thing. Like in Swedish wiper is vindrutetorkare = wind shield drier. Poor example.
Thank you!
@@DoesntPayFullPrice But hämta doesn't mean "bring back home", you can say "Kan du hämta bollen?" as in "can you fetch (go pick up and bring back) the ball?" Even "Hämta filen" as in "download the file" but a more literal translation to that would be "Ladda ner filen" ("load down the file.")
But of course you brought back wood, food and goods to the home before.
Yeah, the maxburgers are the best choice of those 3. And also the västerbottencheesestick. 🤩😍🥰
Soooo good. Those vasterbotten sticks are one of a kind
max is not as good as it used to be. And their fried chicken is not even close to most I have had in georgia. Nothing in sweden compares to bojangles, zaxbys, kfc, popeyes etc.
I think just the food standards alone make their fried chicken way better than all the American chains and their factory farmed chicken.
Thanks for going to my home country ur guys should try Sibylla
It was our pleasure! I will check it out thanks!
@@DoesntPayFullPrice No problem its really good by the way the hamburgers, fries and the nuggets are 🔥
@@lemonke4209 thanks for the tip
Hel Spesial 👍👍👍👍
wait? the kanelbulle was spicy?
Not spicy for a normal person, just more of a real cinnamon spice, vs the sweet cinnamon and sugar we are used to in the states.
Gothenburg a burger restaurant called Master Burger. Trust me
Thanks for the tip!
Always go for frisco at max + hot cheese & honey curry dip ♥️💪👌👍
Oh wow that sounds great! What is a Frisco?
@@DoesntPayFullPrice Burger with beef, Bacon, Your normal vegetables, Max dressing and heavenly sour dough bread on top 😍👌, That bread makes the burger, Its insanely good and what made max popular af when they only had restaurants in the northern parts of Sweden 👌.
Try a frisco with double paddys, Normal fries (best fries ever) , Hot cheese dip and honey curry dip. IF you do that in the summer and they have it order a "lyxshake" with hjortron (cloudberry i want to remember the name is in English!?) And dont forget the chili cheese tops to dip in honey curry/hot cheese And you will thank me later 😅👌👍💪
@@graffzon you're making me so hungry now! That sounds amazing 🍔
Welcome to Stockholm Sweden ! Next time you got to try the local food aswell! Oh, you guys forgot KFC btw. We do love our cinnamon bunns, so we dedicated an entire day for it, which happens on 4th of october.
I can't believe I missed cinnamon bun day. Do u know what it is called? I wish I stopped into KFC, but I guess that's just more content for next time
There are basically two KFC's in all of Stockholm (Bromma and Farsta). None in the city center as far as I know.
@@DoesntPayFullPrice It is just called 'Kanelbullens Dag' or cinnamonbun day. We have a variety of these days, there is another Swedish sort of pastry called Semla, which has its own day too.
You should try TUGG. In my opinion they make the best burgers in Sweden. I recommend trying the double-smokey with either normal or mixed fries and for dip sauce the cheddar is so good. Keep up the awesome videos!
That sounds awesome! Thanks for the recommendation, and thanks for watching!
I think the contents of those cheese sticks is supposed to be mozarella. But of course it isn't.
They have regular mozzarella sticks too, this was more of a cream cheese
The honey curry dip works amazing on the chicken sandwich. Loving the onion and truffle burger, great video!
Dang, Im sad I missed all these good sauces
Honey curry works on everything 💪👌
McDonalds are skit NO good burges best is max and frasses
Never heard of frasses. Even the McDonald's burgers are better than they are in the United states, which is really sad
You should try Sibylla if you decide to try some more, they got some really good burgers.
Thanks!
The quality of Sibylla places is extremely uneven though...
MAX is the by far best big chain fast food here. Sadly they've decreased in quality over the past 5-10 years. They used to be even better imo.
Brödernas is a smaller chain that does absolutely delicious smash burgers.
That's too bad. I'll have to check them out the next time I'm there! Thanks for commenting
Damn you missed out on Sibylla burgers 😊
A few people have mentioned that! Next time I will have to go for sure
We rarely use artificial flavors, that is an American thing. And it is wasps not bees, bees don’t eat meat wasps do.
Pesky wasps!
MAX Strawberry shake is the one to have!
I love strawberry shakes
@@DoesntPayFullPrice in the fall they use to have Cloudberry shake to. That is heavenly cdn.cafe.se/app/uploads/2018/08/max_hjortron_shake.jpg
I've only been to Max Burger in Sweden once but as they say first impressions are everything and their burgers were excellent. A 10 out of 10! I'm so used to McDonald's and Burger King so Max was a refreshing experience.
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns same! I really enjoyed it
The Vegan burgers at Max are insanely good
They looked really good!
They are extremely meat-like and if bought frozen at the grocery store and fried at home or put on the grill, they have grains of coconut oil embedded in the paste before they got pressed and frozen, so they get really juicy, and if pan fried, the drippings they leave in the pan is great for frying actual meat afterwards or for adding flour and liquid to make a sauce or gravy❤
@@SonsOfLorgar that sounds really good. It's great that they sell them in stores
and imagine that you ate the food warm as U normally do =)....yum yum...
They are doing it right over there for sure!
Haha why im I enjoying an American couple, enjoying our fastfood?
It's kinda crazy right? 🍔
Glad you enjoyed the video
Hard to believe I’m watching ppl eat, on yt. Now I need to eat and, I’m not even hungry.
Hahaha, I never thought I'd be eating for an audience. Lol
Well if you try Max hot wings with green galric sauce is good. I would buy 10 green garlic dauce
Sorry with autocorrect
Lol I'm sad I missed the green garlic sauce
Real Swedish fast food is kebab and pizzas. But, the actually REAL Swedish fast food is hotdogs, fries, ketchup, mustard and räksallad. That's like the most Swedish one, if maybe not a "Pucko" drink and a "Tunnbrödrulle" which is like a bread with mashed potatoes, hotdogs or sausages or what have you, and some salads and shrimp salad (räksallad) ketchup and mustard. Mashed potatoes with hot dogs are probably the most Swedishiest of them all.
I was really looking for these when I was there. I thought it was more of a late night food?
Oh no, these are eaten all the time. The tunnbrödrulle and the other one is kind of hard to come by these day I've noticed myself. Most people make it at home instead I suppose. The fries and hotdog dish is one that was much more common in the 70's and 80's, around the time "kebab" came to the scene. The typical swede prefer a hotdog or such if nothing else is available, these days it's common to come by places that also sell kebabs and hamburgers etc. @@DoesntPayFullPrice
i did see a lot of grills that did everything, but they didnt have great reviews. I wish i could find one that only did tunnbrodrulle
Some of that food must have been cold AF after visiting so many different places in one trip? Must affect taste...
Luckily they were all right next to each other, and only a 5 minute walk to our hotel, so it wasn't that bad.
If you wanna try tasty,get a burger where they made them while you wait..THEY taste great ! From a GRILL in Swedish.
Thanks for the tip!
I usually do the Grand Chicken Parmesan with an extra Halloumi slice on MAX. SOO god!
Now I'm learning the real tips! That sounds great.
Thanks to Norway for inventing all these Nordic recipes.
Lol absolutely
You should have tried Max chicken wings with ranch :)
I'm sad I missed them.
The best MAX sauce is the cheddar one! You missed that!
I knew I should have got more sauces!
You didn't miss it. It was the yellow one on the sourcream and onion fries.
@@DoesntPayFullPrice Max have hot/warm melted cheddar dip, that is the one to have
@@tokslut game changer
Shouldve eaten it on site after order.
Some of those items lose 90% value after like 30 minutes.
