- You’ve probably wondered what kind of fast food restaurants are in Australia.I’m an American that has been living in here for 4 years. A big difference I noticed when moving here was the Australian fast food chains. In this video I will take you to each popular Australian fast food restaurant and talk about the differences between here and America.

Okay, so HJ's history from someone who worked there for 5 years. From memory this is correct, but if you want more than a summary look up Jack Cowan on Wikipedia.
Burger King tried to come to Aus, but couldn't use their name here.
Jack Cowan, the guy who it's named after licensed from Yum!
There was an issue a while back bc Burger King tried to come back in and take over, but couldn't, Jack bought them out, and their contract still means he uses all their stuff as though a franchisee but he technically owns the Australian business.
There was some legal shit in there that he won too, so we'll basically never see the Burger King name here on restaurants from what I recall, but eh.
Also, we use eye bacon. It's the meatier bit of the bacon, that the US don't tend to use bc they use streaky bacon for the most part. Eye bacon is honestly more meaty and leaner, and better quality overall. You'll see eye bacon in most fish and chip shops, burger places. You tend to only need one piece per burger.
Fun fact the noodle box, box can be unfolded and used as the plate for the noodles:)
Also, the reason at HJ's you can't get certain things is either pure efficiency, or food safety. Like they won't give special sauces on the side because they don't come in their own sealed containers - like mayo for example
And free refills used to be a thing but the machines would break down so much they were a safety hazard bc we were perpetually having to mop up syrup and water in the restaurant.
that spring roll had the CRUNCH! WOW
GYG is owned by an American from New Mexico. GYG was started in sydney
the burrito looks good, very yummy
Fun fact, you can get GYG in Chicago US. They’re slowly opening in the US.
he should have tried Zambreros another Mexican restaurant in Australia. I think there is some stores in the US
I have just watched a few clips of Americans eating Aussie meat pies, is it just me but I’m Screaming at my iPad yelling “where’s the tomato sauce!” But I’m really glad non aussies are enjoying one of our favourite foods
Depending on the pie....tomato sauce or Worcesterhsire Sauce, or both!
If it's a good pie it doesn't need sauce 😊
An "aussie meat pie" in a sealed bag ! I think not. From 7-11.....that says it all. Where is this ? That "burrito" looks similar to a kebab in Australia. Where is this food available ? I've only seen Red Rooster so far. Problem with takeaway is it's cold by the time you get it home.
Thanks for the video, but I have to disagree as an American living in Sydney for a few years now... GYG is more Tex Mex than authentic Mexican food. It's much better than Taco Bell (which is here in Australia now and not really the same as in the US). The best fast food in Sydney is definitely 5 Guys. It's just like in the states except no peanuts! I was so happy when one opened here, though. Also, we are supposed to be getting Wendy's, so I'd like to see how different it will be.
Whilst I did agree with folks who complained that Red Rooster were trying to copy KFC when they added their fried options, I’ll admit they’re pretty good lol
Also do legit like the gravy bites from HJs
GYG is my hangover go to lol
My friends call Zambrero “Mexican if it was run by fitness junkies”
Red Rooster is getting in on the Jollibee and Korean Fried Chicken craze rather than copying KFC. They had to branch out from Barbecued chicken because people don't eat that much anymore
You can add habanero sauce to your items at gyg
Yeah I Always get the hot sauce. It's not bad, not too hot. Just a nice easy heat
Look up dulwich hill tamaleria, a great Mexican lady runs it and you can pick up ingredients there as well as tamales!
that pie would have to be the worst pie in australia
I agree! There are so many better options than 7-11.
Yep
man hungry jacks slaps, nice one, i like it, very good video. thats a nice seat belt btw
did you find it hard to adapt to Australia's different driving compared to America when you moved here?
Yes actually it’s hard to get used to. After a while I got the hang of it and the roundabouts. The steering wheel also being on the opposite side helps remind you.
GYG stomps taco Bell it is so much better and about the hot sauce they dont have it BUT you can have a spicy oil which makes your taco taste absolutely divine
A fry?
Is fast food healthy to eat in Australia everyday I know ingredients is different than fast food in uk/usa/ Canada
They have less fats and more nutrients, but depending on the restaurant or meal, it can have more kilojoules (kj is round the same as kcal). The chips t McDonald’s are vegan in australia, and there’s way more healthy options. So I’d say, yes. I have fast food about 2 or 3 times a week and I only fan abt 4kg every 3 or so months.
I would say no! It's more healthy than in the USA, but you are still eating fried fatty foods for the most part.
You went to 7/11 for a pie WTF
and no fucking tomato sauce wtf?
Ahh forgive him. He’s a yank. He needs to learn a bit more 😜
After a drunken night and a 7/11 pie is all that’s available I’ll take 3 😂
@@blackrhino9620 lol
I know. Bakeries are better and in a paper bag. lol
I wish there's more fast food chains I'm SICK AND TIRED OF THE SAME ONES
Support small businesses fk corporations
Hungry Jack's is not part of the burger king its it's own enterprise
no hungry jacks is burger king
@@falconrider7032 no it's a local master franchise but has a VERY different menu to BK. Jack Cowin has run it his own way for 50 years now, even beating out BK trying to open their own stores
@@uncle-pete I know that it has a different menu but its still burger king
@@uncle-pete I'm an australian myself
Hungry Jacks is owned by Burger King
An existing place called Burger King won a legal battle to keep the name
HJ breakfast looks more delicious than USA BK breakfast
