the dunkin employee asking for a picture and apologizing for the bad food was so cute
I mean, what are they gonna do, lie and say that their food and coffee are good?
@@kevwwong yes
@@WaabuTV lol I guess that guy just didn't have it in him to lie.
@@kevwwong yes
Josh just straight up lying and saying it wasn't that bad was next level kindness
I worked Hardee's for 4 years. I worked the opening shift quite a bit. I hated my time at Hardee's, but their breakfast food is real. I made the biscuits fresh in the morning. They aren't frozen. The eggs are a liquid egg mix, but they're real. The sausage and bacon are frozen, of course, but it is real. The gravy is a simple powder and hot water mix with sausage crumbled in fresh off the grill. All in all, Hardee's doesnt fuck around with their breakfast.
I worked there too in the early 2000's! Their biscuits and gravy and sweet biscuits are 🤌🤌🤌 it's the only fast food biscuits I enjoy
I literally just made a comment about this we were packed every morning because we had bomb breakfast we stood on business every morning 5:30
I always get the breakfast platter whenever I have a coupon or have earned enough points for a discount, otherwise it’s a budget breaker for this old lady on a fixed income. Must ask for CRISP BACON though. But it’s my favorite fast food breakfast.
Same thing with Jack's. I don't know if they just got a messed up one or if Jack's has changed their methods, but my GF used to manage a Jack's, and it's all cooked fresh. Biscuits are made fresh every morning. Gravy is made, and then they fry sausage on the flat top and chop it up to put in the gravy. The eggs are cracked, whipped, and then cooked in a ring mold. Everything gets salt and pepper, which is, unfortunately, all they're allowed to use.
You're saying 'real' a lot. What does 'real' mean in this context? What would be an example of an item that isn't 'real'?
Not getting hash browns to compare from all of them is a CRIME
😢 Yeah, I was wondering about that since I HATE frozen ones.
that's another video
I always get hash brown and put it on the breakfast sandwich to help soak up the grease. I don't care where it is they all seem to be over greasy.
unless josh has already done a hashbrown video or is going to do a hashbrown video then he should have included them in this one
I imagine not every place does hash browns, so it's a hard one to compare. Like, they didn't get the exact same thing in every place, they got their 'top 3' breakfast items.
Former McDonald's employee here, you got an eggshell because the egg 'patty' on mcmuffins is actually two freshly cracked eggs put into a mold with a specialized tray on top that trickles water down onto the griddle and allows the eggs to steam giving them the signature rubbery texture by essentially steaming the whole eggs.
But it is in fact, real eggs.
The sheet scrambled eggs are shipped in frozen.
yeah the scrambled egg taste frozen
I always like hearing stuff like this. I think people tend very heavily towards cynicism when it comes to fast food preparation, but a lot of it comes down to management style and standards at individual franchises. Or at least that’s my experience.
I’ve had barely edible rubber eggs from McDonalds and also perfectly cooked round eggs that some passionate soul sprinkled actual paprika on. Does McDonalds even have paprika? Did they bring it from home just to give their customers that little extra touch of care?
And you forgot that the scrambled eggs for the breakfast platters are from a carton
19:34 Joshua only just realising that all fast food restraunts follow a script is WILD
It's such an annoying question to ask the poor drive-through workers, I actually cannot watch this video if he's gonna do that at every single spot. Like do the research yourself, and just order what you learn. The cashier is not a market analyst.
@KyleNabilcy Are you daft? Or have you never worked in the food industry?
@@KyleNabilcy It's perfectly reasonable to ask the cashier what the most popular item on a menu is because, you know, they take all of the orders? What if I just wanna know what's good and popular, especially in that particular branch? I'm getting such a 'not my job' kind of energy from this for such a basic ass question that takes minimal brain power to answer. Either that or you're patronising the 'poor' fast food workers to the point where you think they can't do anything and need to be treated with kid gloves.
@@shellshocktmit really isn’t their job. It’s so subjective if you don’t have the data, and it’s not something a fast food worker is usually trained to know. If I was asked that question when I worked fast food I would just name three menu items. You’re paid minimum wage and you deal with a lot of crap (sometimes literally) and getting people who ask this kind of stuff is just annoying. It looks like a simple job but there is a lot going on in the background that a customer doesn’t see, and when you get people that throw you off like this and make your job take longer to finish, it’s aggravating. You’re not paying for a sit down place where the server knows all the details of the specialty menu the chef put together. You’re paying for cheap food that was made by cheap labor, usually teenagers.
@@m_here1 such a weirdo opinion - it's a customer service job don't take it if you cant answer the most BASIC questions
As a former morning shift mcdonald's worker, the eggs for the mcmuffin are actually fresh. Got yelled at by my manager for "not cracking the eggs properly" all the time because I was actively avoiding getting shells in them 😂
I honestly love finding the occasional piece of eggshell in my McMuffin because it reminds me that the egg is real, lol
Sausage and egg McMuffin with no cheese (lactose intolerant) has been my favorite fast food breakfast for decades - partially because of the real eggs and also because actual butter.
why are those eggs so nasty though? they taste rubbery. how do you guys make them?
@@rienn8559on the grill but water is poured all around them and they are steamed as they cook
At my location, we make them on a separate egg cooker since we have a small kitchen and only 2 grills. Still pour the water over them. Also they are not seasoned and we have to cook them over hard. @@clarknorman2623
You went to Chick-fil-A and didn’t get the chicken minis. Unbelievable
Because they’re garbage
@@tylergottschalk5612wdym?? they taste so good when you don’t want to wake up in the morning and make an omelet with a lot of random crud in it
the chicken bfast burrito & the parfait is the better
This. Chicken minis are hands down the best best part of the breakfast menu.
extra honey butter!!! they are like crack
Long comment from a former McDonald’s worker, can confirm, the “round egg” that comes in the McMuffin is in fact made from a fresh egg. Every morning at McDonalds there is a tower of egg flats chillin by the griddle waiting to be cooked fresh. They crack them into circle molds on the griddle and then they put them into the actual controversial thing that they have which is a hot holding machine that is essentially a massive microwave oven that is constantly running and the food is placed into little drawers. They only hold 6 at a time and cook more when they drop to 2 in the drawer.
The only food they still deep fry is their chicken and potatoes (fries and hash-browns), the rest is griddled. The “square” egg though…those are egg beaters that were cooked and shaped in a factory and then flash frozen, sent to the restaurant and then reheated with steam…
Really like Andy, but there's too many cuts in the video. Slow down the editing and in my opinion the video would be improved. Just my two cents though, still enjoyable enough :)
Zoomer TikTokified editing is the bane of RUclips
And isn’t Andy a Kiwi? 😂
holy shit i watch your gregtech
Yea as a guy who doesn’t watch tiktok I really hate that everyone has been forced to start doing this jolty editing. Probably because it makes it easier to clip and make shirt form for tiktok
@@Richorob They mention that in the video.
21:12 Andy’s “inoffensive” started to grow on Joshua LOL
i unironically want this series to end with "I Tried Every Fast Food Sprite in America"
Now that's a video with real utility
There’s only one correct answer. Coca-cola has had McDonald’s in a sleeper hold for years, if they don’t win, there would be riots in the streets of Atlanta
I have mapped out the best Sprite in my local area. Bad ice or forgetting to refill the syrup are the worst, too sweet/not bubbly enough isn’t great. Too full so putting the straw in floods my car is obnoxious. It’s shocking what can go wrong with a Sprite.
@@CrankyOtter Sprite being clear really messes with your ability to tell if its out.
BK or TBell will win by a mile
I'd say you hit the nail on the head with this one. Hardee's and Chickfila are definitely top tier when it comes to their breakfast
Hot take
He missed badly on bojangles or went to a bad one. There’s no way a Cajun fillet is a 2.0
@@uzifromtwitter5257 Truth. The problem with Bojangles across their platform is inconsistency.
@@uzifromtwitter5257 Bojangles is hit or miss for me. But I wouldn't put it as top tier. Probably would put it closer to mid though
Josh getting irritated and rolling his eyes at fast food workers not knowing their top-3 items. Man, they don't care. This isn't a career, it's just a day job.
If you never worked fast food or retail you don't know how it is. Some people are just oblivious
yea no shit it's not a career. But if you're working there everyday you might as well get to know the menu you're serving.
Couldn't disagree more @@nicholasmorin32
I don’t think he was hating on them tho, just pointing it out
And pour over monthly sales reports to see which items get purchased the most and are most popular? Naw dude.
Christopher's like "Yeah, I don't like this item all that much" into "Dang. This is really tasty!"
He was the funniest one to me. Just because of how his pessimism got blown out of the water 😂
Hardee’s breakfast is legit.
I came to the comment section for this. Comedy gold and such a character
The worst part of fast food breakfast is when you work nights and just want a burger on your way home but they won’t serve you one until three hours later.
BK sells whoppers for breakfast
@@OutlawTorn33jack in the box's whole menu is available the whole day lol
I think both Jack in the Box and Taco Bell at least can order non-breakfast items during Breakfast hours.
Sonic is full menu while they are open.
This is exactly why I go to Whataburger.
Chick-fil-A winning despite Josh skipping the chicken minis and the hash brown scramble is just a testament to how good they are at making breakfast
I’m sure that Joshua came out of the womb screaming “MID!” 😂
im sure josh was telling his mom her breast milk is mid lol
@@THOMAS_VANN mid, bland and kind of dry.
What is MID? Is it a food product, something you could buy in a grocery store?
Josh asked his mom if her breast milk was reconstituted powdered milk, and was shocked to learn it was unpasteurized.
@@orthoepy1neither, it’s a judgment. Mid = middle of the road, 5/10
"Why does every bk look like it's from 2002?" Because it hasn't lost its soul yet, josh!
just all the flavor.
They can't afford to change because their food is ass
Or because they are borderline bankrupt.
Owned by a private equity company. Bloodsuckers.
can't lose something you never had...🙄
I get Hardee's sausage biscuits once a month on Saturday as a treat for my wife and I, and because that was my go to fast food breakfast as a kid on weekends/during the summer. Really hope Josh gets the transcendental experience of a Hardee's sausage biscuit someday
"...as a treat for I"? For me. For my wife and me.
@@scrapper666 cool dude. I hope you have the day you deserve
@@scrapper666HAHA, tell me you’re a douche without telling me you’re a douche.
@@scrapper666 You're right, but you were a bitch about it
I hate Josh's opinions on food but I love his ideas lol. He's that 1 guy in the friend group that just hates everything especially if a lot of people like it. Its annoying but the guy has undeniably great ideas on actually making food. I both love and hate-watch his content lol.
Never change Joshua!
I love that they thought Andy said "Mackers" instead of Maccas.
as an aussie - I was looking for this comment
You know the enlisted professional, Chris, at 22:00 having a customer recognize him is actually wholesome as heck.
I doubt the customer recognized him. They were just curious as to why someone was filming a food review at Hardee's.
Yea based on the interaction there...Not recognized just a regular there that questioned why someone would film there.
@@zstarr1390 It's the same energy as both times I've gone to Finland, locals going: "...but why?" at you all the time.
@@zstarr1390 You underestimate how much people love Mr Beef.
Andy changing how he pronounces words so Americans can understand him is so relatable
Hey Josh, I just visited a CFA today after about a year and a half of not going. Their breading game has definitely improved! I also had a nice even thick piece of chicken in my sandwich. I recall the poor soggy breading and uneven fillets I got in my university days, so when I got a thick piece of chicken with crispy breading today, I was genuinely impressed and happy.
Remember fermentation fridays? Those were the days.
I think he's running out of things to do.
@@hvacdoc He could just make recipe vids again. Like what was the point of that brand new kitchen?
@@anfuro as were the videos where he actually cooked a recipe
@@anfuro probably only watch one of every 20 videos now.
@@msgtwarmonger3603 If I had to take a guess, I would say he's probably trying to adapt and diversify as to not go outdated and lose this cushy *job* . Which is definitely a very smart thing to do. That being said, who knows if this what people actually want.
"Oh my God. It's my grandmother's toe"
😂
That had me dying, because I could hear it in Gordon's voice while Josh said it.
Also! You didn't get the monster biscuit from Carl's Jr.
It's my favorite breakfast item from all the fast food places we have in Oklahoma.
It's got sausage, bacon, ham, egg, potato and cheese.
i actually love the biscuits from carls jr haha. not getting anything on a biscuit is a crime
The aussie is awesome but CHRIS LOL what a legend. Never seen him before.
You weren’t paying attention, Andy said he’s NOT an Aussie. He said he’s a Kiwi
@@msgtwarmonger3603 he said he lives in Australia, that makes him an aussie.
His dipped sandwiches definitely aren’t my thing but I can really appreciate what he comes up with
@@lolgalaxy4406 except he explicitly made a point of saying “not an Aussie.” So honor his opinion about himself instead of forcing your opinion on him!
@@msgtwarmonger3603 As an Aussie, we say NZ is just another state of Australia.
All their people have moved over here, anyhow 🤣
i like that he wasn’t pissed about an egg shell in his sandwich he’s just happy that they used a real egg.
That breakfest crunchwrap is a marvel for fast food lol i freaking love them.
theyre especially good when you add guac
@@caseyjones3522 never done that but that hot or medium sauce just sets it off lol
I've been hyping the breakfast crunchwraps for years. Hands down my favorite fast food breakfast item.
Add guac and pico to make a straight up marvel
@@adeptfelix they used to have a "hash brown burrito" or something like that -- was like the exact same ingredients as a crunchwrap, just in a burrito. Was maybe 2/3rds the size of a crunchwrap. Was the perfect amount of food for me. I miss that.
A Jack in the Box bonus: They serve the full menu all day. If you want breakfast at 7pm, you can get breakfast at 7pm.
It's stuff like this that make me question this whole claim that "Australia takes it's breakfast seriously.".
Or burgers and tacos at 7 am, not to mention their Muchies Menu (after 10:00 pm, which is also on another level...well, they lost points when they removed the Cheesy Nacho Spicy Chicken Jalapeño Sandwich from that menu 😤). I remember when it was $8...pick your main Munchie item, two tacos, "halfsies" (fries + curly fries) and a large drink. Now it's the Munchie item, large drink and pick two items out of 2 tacos, halfsies, onion rings or curly fries for like $12
You are 100% correct! The only problem is at least with almost every jack in the box in my area, if I order breakfast at evening hours it's almost NEVER fresh usually reheated. Which makes it total trash obviously.
bu there's a downside: you're still getting jack in the box
@@djoscartj My 2nd year at my job was year one of obama care, i work in that field and since i had 0 seniority i got the night shift. In theory we closed at 10PM but had to clear the call queue so i frequently was leaving at midnight. Made bank in overtime, but I'd need food by the time i left and the munchie menu saved me.
McDonald's has two kinds of eggs, which employees refer to as "round egg" and "folded egg".
Folded egg is poured from a carton of pre-mixed "egg mixture". Round egg is an actual egg, cracked and steam cooked on the griddle.
You can substitute folded for round egg for free and it's always the right decision.
Do they actually make them at McDonald's? I always assumed they were made in a factory and shipped frozen in a box to the locations
@@HappyGothGalthey actually do cook them from real eggs right on the spot.
@@HappyGothGal Both are cooked to order. Neither folded nor round are frozen.
@@HappyGothGal liqiud egg is poured into a mold and so in the cracked egg which is why you'll find pieces of egg shell in your mcmuffin
Folded egg actually come pre-packaged, and is then steamed to cook. The egg poured from a carton would be their egg whites.
i swear to god everytime i watch one of these videos, they are rating the fast food like its a 5 michelin star restaurant food.
if they would, nothing would get above 2 points, let alone a 8 out of 10.
Not getting the chicken-minis for breakfast at Chick fil'A was a huge mistake. By far, without question, the best item on their menu. Not just their breakfast menu. The *entire* menu.
Nah dawg
Chicken-minis are the best breakfast item ever !!!
I was looking for this comment thank you
I like getting the spicy chicken biscuit with egg whites. But that's just me lol
I use to work there. Secret menu item is go ask them to add icing to them. Sounds weird but it's really good
So I actually used to work at Chick-Fil-A and can say that I never crave the sandwiches anymore, BUT I always keep going back for the breakfast. The biscuits are made by hand every morning and minis and bowls are so good too!
I also used to work at CFA, funnily enough I always miss the fries. I feel like the chicken quality got worse over time, at least in my area. Sometimes while studying flashcards in my car I would go buy fries and a soda to snack on.
@@m_here1the fries are definitely underrated
@@m_here1 they switched suppliers a little while back
i think they got rid of their bagels a while back bc that was my favorite thing on the breakfast menu
The biscuits depend heavily on who makes them. I don’t order a biscuit for my break food unless someone good makes them.
Also did y’all ever pray before lunch rushes.
The Gordon impression at 9:45 is just perfect
exactly scarily accurate 😭
Ikr! Goes to show how much he's watched...
They managed to find the one Chick-Fil-A with biscuits that aren't doughy and, at the same time, dry. I'm jealous.
The Dunkin employee was a real one, he knew the food was trash. Dunkin has been coasting on name recognition, nostalgia, and availability for years.
not just dunkin, a lot of them are. My faves for breakfast are A&W & Harvey's they seem to put effort into tho their food, except the coffee its bad but no worse than most others
Availability is the key here I think - they’re EVERYWHERE and not a lot of other coffee shops or bakeries can squeeze any market share, especially here in New England. The only successful non-chain coffee/bakery are well established (opened in the 50s or whatever) or in small city centers where the DD trucks can’t go (or where DD can’t change the visuals of the interior/exterior too much so it doesn’t match their branding)
Bojangles, just gotta have more!
Seriously, their biscuits are the best besides homemade.
This guy knows what’s up
It seems like maybe outside of NC Bojangles doesn't have old ladies making biscuits? Most McD, Hardee's, Bojangles all have people making fresh biscuits, and those didn't look like what's served here.
@@rentedroom Amen brother, NC Bojangles biscuits made by experienced women are legit. Flat, hard, dry Bojangles biscuits are the problem muddying the waters.
I dont think I've ever had bojangles thats been good outside where i live in nc or on the road in sc honestly
Best chicken biscuit!!! I live 2 hours from one in Florida. When I used to live in the Carolina’s I loved eating there
I was quite shocked with Bojangles' score. In my area their biscuits are absolutely delicious.
Yeah that bojangles did them dirty… Texas must not make them the same as the NC ones
Their biscuits are always delicious; in my experience the variation is in the chicken (some too flat, not seasoned enough). Don’t know what these two were talking about.
Clearly a bad location, their biscuits are ELITE! They should’ve tried a Bo-berry Biscuit as well.
Bojangles locations are only as good as the staff, very hit or miss
Plus the Bo-berry biscuit has to be more popular than the biscuit w gravy, never seen anyone order that.
As an Australian watching this, I'm so glad my local corner shop, still does a Steak Works Burger for $11. It has an actual Steak, Beetroot, Pineapple, Bacon, Egg, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and BBQ sauce. And it's a meal, that needs both hands to hold onto it. You can also get just a Works Burger, that has a meat party instead of the steak. 100% better than anything that you've shown in this video.
$11 AUD? So $7 USD?
@@FullOfMalarky I'm not sure of the actual currency conversion but yeah $11 Australian. And you can add or remove any fillings you like.
this a vid on American fast food breakfast & a Burger 9000 miles away has F-ing nothing to do with this video You're here crackin a fatty over your corner shop...... hilarious!
@@GenX...MCMLXV And So Your now Being a Complete Dick. Your probably a Biden Supporter

I’m always shocked Joshua hates Chick-fil-A so much but man, their breakfast destroys all others.
your taste is garbage, stop eating trash fast food like chick fck a
23:49 “who the fuck is ordering a milkshake right now?” Me. I order milkshakes with my breakfast meals all the time lol
Wishing you, your cholesterol levels, and arteries the best
Honestly same, as someone who works from 7pm to 7a . I just want my dinner breakfast
@@deedelta9263lol how is it different than if she had it at night.
How's your Cholesterol% speedrun goin?
Death speedrun
Can't believe the top 2 spots were taken by what Joshua normally considers to be mid to low tier.
Nah MJ better🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
If it were me, I would’ve put Hardee’s above Chick-Fil-A because their biscuits are just that good. And I really like that they have chicken fried steak.
Honestly, the 2 extra reviewers seemed to be very relaxed with their ratings.
Maybe their strength is in breakfast and not lunch?? Idk
Joshuas tier lists don't have as much integrity as likes to portray being a "harsh reviewer". you could tell Kiwi Guest guy never has had southern biscuits to get why they're so good and Joshua didn't want to contradict his guest. Bojangles biscuits are superior to every other fast food biscuit lmao. The kiwi guest guy just doesn't like biscuits "or scones" as he says.
When getting a Mc griddle, you have to get the sausage one with no egg and cheese. The egg and cheese just fucks up the flavor of the Mc griddle buns. The Mc griddle buns with the sausage is amazing. It’s like salty and sweet at the same time. And please more guest appearances from Chris he’s hilarious. You also fucked up by not getting the chicken bites at Chick-fil-A. It’s little buttery buns with an individual nugget in each. Even without any sauce, it’s the best.
You have 0 brain cells. They have to eat the McGriddle as-is without making hyper-specific mods. And chicken bites are not breakfast you absolute shoelace.
Personally, I'm more a fan of the chicken McGriddle. In fact, before they came out with it, I'd try to go to McDonalds right at the brekafast/lunch switch so I could order a sausage McGriddle and a McChicken (without lettuce and tomato), then switch the meats.
as a manager in a burger king i try to go the extra mile with flavor such as adding salt to the eggs and whenever we cook the bacon just add a spash of butter (IT IS COOKED IN A MICROWAVE) so customers have a pleasant experience
No matter what you do with your trash food, it's still one of the worst fast food restaurants known to man. But thanks for trying its the thought that counts!
Hardee's biscuits are far and away the best fast food breakfast around
I work there it’s peak
I do enjoy Hardee's biscuits also but where I'm at in TN Bojangles makes a better and more consistent biscuit than Hardee's. So it sounds like in TX they don't know how to make a biscuit to me.
Unless you work there. Most disgusting place I've ever seen.
@lucienswift447 a good sausage egg and cheese breakfast biscuit is one of life's simple pleasures, also the reason I can never be vegan,Muslim or jewish.
@@dirtygrunt I think the difference is in TN they cook them in smaller batches all day instead of one big batch before shift. Biscuits are already somewhat dry -- ANY time in a heat lamp will kill them.
BO was the "safe space" even in the bad parts of town in Charlotte.
I'm convinced the Whataburger Josh goes to has it out for him and/or the ones in Austin generally suck. Everytime I go when I'm back home in Texas the HBC Biscuit is always packed with good chicken.
I think hating on Whataburger is his schtick
Big agree. I've never had a bad chicken biscuit from my Whataburger
I've been to Whataburgers all over TX and have never had bad food or slow service. 95% of the time the employees have been really nice.
@@user-neo71665 the food is objectively never better than "mid" which is a 5/10.
Chick fil A has have the most doughy and dense biscuits. Hard disagree.
i used to work at cfa for a little bit. the sausage is jimmy dean, biscuits are made fresh every morning, yellow and white eggs come from cartons. the reason the chicken is probably not crispy is because they douse tf out of the biscuits with butter, inside both sides and the tops. also the breakfast filets are marinated with a different marinade than the lunch/dinner filets so they are in fact different.
Josh: Subway, stick to what you’re good at.
Me: nothing?
Hey now! . . . . . . . . Their bags of chips are okay.
@@waywardmind I'd say the cookies are okay as well
I would say closing locations. Seriously in my area we went from 6+ subways to 1 since the pandemic and that last one is run so poorly that I actively avoid it. Their new menus make no sense either.
@@Hybris51129 I used to only go for their meatball subs, but their quality has continued to downfall while places like Jersey Mikes and Jason’s Deli became vastly superior.
Christopher belongs in a "Da Bears" SNL skit. Like, seriously, they need to hire him and reboot that skit.
SNL sucks these days. I’m old enough to remember when it was still funny, now it’s just obnoxious.
I think you missed out not getting the breakfast burrito from chick fila. It is 100% the most underrated and overlooked item there.
100%! I drive 10 miles some mornings just for that chicken bfast burrito and the parfait with cookie crumbs! MMM MMM MMM
Chick fil a breakfast is literally so good and it’s highly underrated! Glad it’s getting a spotlight from Josh for once!
I love seeing my man Andy doing more collabs with others food creators
Bojangles biscuit quality is completely determined by the skill of the biscuit maker at any given restaurant. When I worked at one a long time ago, we had a couple of grandmas who came in at 5am to make the biscuits, and they were some of the best biscuits I’ve had. Meanwhile the local Hardee’s biscuits were dense and dry.
That’s the thing about bojangles. Some of the food is made more or less from scratch, so having good cooks will make it miles better than other fast food, but a bad cook might make something worse than the flash frozen stuff other places sell.
This is the comment I was looking for. The fact that the biscuits were what they hated the most is so frustrating. When done right, bojangles breakfast is UNMATCHED
Came here to say this exact thing. In eastern NC they are VERY consistently solid.
I just got gifted both your cookbooks for my birthday yesterday, and I cannot wait to finish reading both and trying all the good food 🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤
Great collab. Your personalities really work well together. Also spot on for the crititcal scoring.
I love the chef praising chick fil a eggs when they're the ones using eggs from a carton. Fun little fact there
I'm convinced Josh just lives next to the most terribly ran whataburger in existence. Every time his order looks nothing like what I get lol
I have lived in Texas most of my life so i have been to more whataburgers than Id like to admit, so I will say most of their places dont have good breakfast. And their drive thru line during breakfast is not nearly as long as lunch time. Its part of the reason why i go there for breakfast at times so I dont need to wait twice as long as the more popular breakfast places around them, usually McDonalds from my experience
My whataburger looks exactly like his and tastes so bad. I’m also not in Texas, so I’m wondering if it is just better ran in Texas. Will have to try it one day in the homeland.
Whataburger is mids. The things they do well, are decent, but nothing is exceptional. Their burgers taste like sonics with less maillard and shittier cheese, their fries have gotten better but still mids. I've had it in texas, and elsewhere, it's just not that good. The best thing they do is when they have chili in the fall, the frito chili pie and the chili cheese burger are outstanding.
Not getting the minis or burritos at Chick-fil-A was criminal. The spicy chicken burrito is where it's at
0:01 - That's a Kellogg's marketing slogan. It's not scientific.
Why is this my top comment, lol.
while its not “the most important”…i find it hard to believe skipping breakfast and going from last nights dinner to lunch the next day is somehow perfectly fine😂 guess it also depends on how much and quality of food
Is there anything better than Andy joining Josh for a fast food run? Gotta give it a 10 out of 10.
My Go To breakfast is (all on one plate)
* Bed of hash browns
* 2 scrambled eggs
* Smothered in white gravy
* 2 slices toast w/ butter
* 1 cup coffee
(Sometimes with a breakfast meat, but most times without)
This sounds like it would absolutely slap like at maxium once a month. But that one time a month would be golden.
@@Black_CoreyNFin You could do it more and still stay fit and healthy. The worst thing about is all the fat and starch. If there is no sausage or bacon, this imo isn't the worst thing you could do.
As someone that works at Mcdonalds, the steak bagel is the best item on the breakfast menu for someone that has to eat it every morning. The steak is actually fine despite how it looks, the breakfast sauce and cheese are great, and its super filling. Its hit or miss with the bagel itself, but if they toast it right its very good. 7-8/10
Also in my experience the onions are actually most of teh time the worst part as they sometimes can taste off.
The steak but with the biscuit instead of the bagel. I also work at McDonald's
The breakfast sauce hits
Joshua vs Gordon When?
Gordon Ramsey but better
They would never duel. They would kiss.
Josh would crush Gordon
@@benamis2793bait ?
Gordon would actually cook. Josh would just bring some KFC, let Chef Mike prepare it, and then whine about how bad it is.
11:26 “I feel like it needs a sauce, like a salsa of some sort” YOU PEOPLE NEVER TEST THE DAMN ITEMS WITH THEIR INTENDED CONDIMENTS. IT’S PART OF THE EXPERIENCE. JESUS CHRIST WHY WOULD YOU EAT A BURRITO WITHOUT SALSA OR A SANDWICH WITHOUT MUSTARD
Edit: ALSO why would you not do a general poll to ask your audience what their favorite items are at each location you’re going to visit instead of relying on a fast food employee, they might’ve started taking orders yesterday lmao
Easily one of my biggest fucking gripes especially with chic-fil-a. THEY HAVE THE BEST SAUCES. YOU GET TO CHOOSE. During that awful era of Popeyes v Chic-fil-a sandwich reviews none of those 80 IQ fools put sauce on the chic-fil-a sandwich and drooled over the dollop of MAYO on the Popeyes abomination.
Yeah I actually think this was were they truly messed up the testing process. Like fast food workers are following a script so an unexpected question does make them have to stop and think. If the worker has been working for a while, they will probably know the answer but if not you might just end up with something random. Especially since it's drive thru and they are gonna be worried about there timer and probably won't take the time to go ask someone more experienced because they don't want to hold up the line.
It's never too late to start making quality content again Joshua!
I love Hardee’s, but I absolutely dislike Carl’s Jr. I know they’re supposed to be the same thing but Hardee’s just has this level of respect for the food they’re putting out it taste way better.
As someone who only likes very specific things at McDonald's that aren't their burgers, the McGriddles are absolutely amazing. I might just have a sweet tooth, but I don't think they're that sweet
They’re really sweet to me but I don’t have sugar really in my diet
@@JustinBocci I love chocolate and ice cream but find mcgriddles grossly sweet
they are extremely sweet. yes u have a seeet tooth
My fave - Whataburger Biscuit Sandwich with Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuit, sausage (or bacon), egg & cheese. McGriddles are my 2nd fave.
came just to say this! 😂 i feel like they ordered everything wrong because they ordered based on popularity and most people have trash taste.
11:07 As a person actively working at a fast food joint which sells breakfast burritos, the reason WE don't close 'em is because we use the same base ingredients on all our burritos. This allows us to prepare several ahead with just the base ingredients, and by not closing them we can pull them out and add ingredients to them. When I asked why we don't close them after we've done this, I was told "we just don't."
Not sure if it's the same at Del Taco, but it is an explanation.
not closing a burrito also significantly reduces the chance that the tortilla is torn when wrapped by people who really dont know how to wrap a burrito. Since it leaves a lot of extra "wiggle" room and the ingredients dont get compacted as much.
I thought it was to be able to add sauces easier on the road with one hand. Lol
At 1:35 into the video. "Idk wtf that says."
I got you Josh. It says Poison, with sweetener.
Uh. Did you really go to MCD and not get the sausage egg mcmuffin? The hell, dude. This whole thing is skewed now.
Could not agree more, what a miss
Sausage egg mcmuffin and the pancake breakfast is the iconic items
Ummm nevermind the breakfast food ratings- this ALL STAR collab is EVERYTHANG🎉
Worked the food station for 2 years at Dunkin. Literally everything but the bacon, ham, and cheese are frozen. The croissants and bagel doughs are frozen doughs that go straight to the oven lol. The eggs are frozen. The sausage is frozen. The tortillas for the wraps are frozen. It's all terrible lol
I’m gonna be real, I think McGriddles absolutely slap at 6 am when I’m exhausted and just want a fast breakfast. They’ve always been there for me and I’ll always appreciate them for that
I can’t eat eggs so a sausage+cheese McGriddle is a 9/10 - ad hash browns?? 10/10 quick and cheap breakfast
I love Andy's passion for food. Dude's kinda a beast in the food biz
25:24 for the final list
Andy cooks ❌️
Uncle Andy✅️
Bojangles in the south, GA the biscuits actually taste good and don’t look like what you guys were eating here 😂 Also get the Steak biscuit next time
I live in GA, Bojangles is literally the only fast food breakfast I'll go out of my way to eat.
@@carstereobandits they was shitting on it, but they’re in Texas so obviously they ain’t got that soul like we do
that's what I'm sayin! His looked so sad and not good!
Yeah I've been to them further east and they ain't half bad. West of the miss river they ain't worth a crap.
I know! I’m from SC and was like, Bojangles is easily number 1 coming into this video. The biscuits are so freaking good.
The most important part of Bojangles is the biscuits. If they're not good that location is crap.
You’re a legend for having the awareness to include the Hardee’s celeb shot. Been saying for years that it’s the non-chicken fast food breakfast goat and it would have been a stake to the heart to see Carl’s Jr. plummet its ranking.
Why was that Gordon Ramsay impression so good
Hardee's breakfast is criminally underrated. Bacon and egg biscuit is by far the best fast food breakfast item. Glad they got some props here.
Woke up to this video. Made me hungry pretty fast which is funny because I’m bit the biggest fan of breakfast food.
Josh, amazing collab video!!! Andy is one of my favorite Internet chefs. My wife and I love his content so damn much!
Two things:
1. Taco Bell breakfast is insanely good. Try the steak breakfast crunch wrap and it will change you. Its my favorite fast food breakfast item, hands down.
2. McDonald's biscuits. There are some restaurants that still make them from scratch and they are far, FAR better than the frozen crap they heat up in the restaurants that don't make them on premises anymore.
Hey Josh, can we go back to the cooking videos? I miss you cooking and teaching us things. Proud of how far you have come and I wish you continued success.
As a native New Englander, please keep in mind that not all Dunkin's are created equally. I would sacrifice some good friends before I'd let anything happen to my local Dunkin.
Ppl arguing for any of the McDonalds breakfast biscuits have either never tried the McGriddle or truly dont know what happiness is at all
That Christopher character sounds like the most stereotypical Chicagoan ever lmao
Nostalgia heavily speaking for me, but the best fast food breakfast item is the breakfast burritos from McD's
The old ones were ok. They have changed them and IMHO went downhill.
I agree though portion size has gone down a lot to the point it doesn't feel like it's worth it any more.
at mcdonalds, you have to try the sausage egg cheese biscuit....can't believe you guys didnt get a biscuit from mcdonalds...their biscuits are actually good!
The Formula 1 style fast food leaderboard is amazing haha
I so wish they got the McD hot cakes because any cultured person knows that that is one of the best fast food breakfast items
The chicken mcgriddle from McDonald's is my personal favorite, sweet, spicy, crispy chicken, soft mcgriddle, delish!
Same
What amazes me is that they've had the junior chicken sandwich for so long, and yet we've only recently gotten Chicken McMuffins/McGriddles.
Del Taco at #5 is wild
10:27 ........ wtf
Josh is slowly turning into the chef Ben Shapiro lmao and I’m here for it lol
i can’t believe joshua’s going international with his videos now
Josh literally got the worst breakfast items at chick fil a lmfao
Our blood sugars spike around 5 am ,to give us a wake up boost after our nights sleep .Any high glycemic food at breakfast , then spikes our glucose beyond what our liver can handle (causing an unhealthy insulin spike) .So a Fat /Protein breakfast can be important , but not for the reasons we think .It is actually better for health to skip breakfast ,and allow our 'dawn phenomonon ' glucose to normalise ....thus ,avoiding the consequential blood sugar crash, that we refer to as the mid-morning slump.
