Do you like corn dogs? If you enjoyed this video, you might like: German Guy's first time at COSTCO! (ruclips.net/video/OuUvV3m_tZc/видео.html ) or Charleston SC Food Tour (ruclips.net/video/iE7clEnAz8U/видео.html )
Corn dogs are the best at a county or state fair. Mustard is a MUST! Also, Sonic tends to make things sweeter than what you get up here in Ohio. Favorite fast food burger is 5 Guys, but if you're on a budget, then Wendy's. Deana, make Phil some Ore Ida tater tots.
Why didn't you hit the button and tell them they forgot the sauces lol? Here Sonic has carhops will go car to car with condiments. If someone at any restaurant or fast food place forgets something always ask. If they mess your order up sometimes you can get free food not always though. Hope y'all had gun on your trip. Oh the best place ever fir a corn dog is the Texas State Fair no joke.
If you love corn dogs and other amazing food, find a nice, big state fair to go to when your in the states for the Summer! That would be a great video!
I love corndogs. Sonic has great chili dogs. Tipping has gotten out of hand, I’ve stopped tipping altogether now if my meal isn’t dine in. If there wasn’t a server refilling my drinks, I dont tip.
Man, i worked fast food before i went to University and back then, the job sucked and the pay was worse, but we still made sure people’s orders were correct and apologized if we messed up. Nowadays, the customer service is so bad i refuse to eat at any of these places. And tip before service? They can eat my corndog…
Also Deana I feel for you. I too can’t get the excitement of going to Sonic. Last time I went the locked up the restroom because of homeless issue and were skimpy on sauce packets. You probably could’ve ask for them but yea the service person didn’t sound thrill to serve you
yo love your vids. i live in canada (almost all of us live near the border btw) and we don't get asked for tips up front at fast food places. tips are expected at sit down restaraunts and for some services like a haircut or movers.
From what I read online it’s an Asian owned business and they buy at least some of their ingredients from South Korean suppliers. I’m any event Korean hot dogs are amazing ^_^
There are pros and cons to tipping culture. I was a server in college and on a good night my tips made my wage equal $35/hr but on slow nights it was like $8/hr in 2006 so 🤷♀️. Also u gotta slather that corn dog in mustard 😂
As an American that has lived and worked in Germany for the last 40 years I would find it hard to give a tip before I got my food. I did not know that you gave tips at a fast food place. If you have to ask for a tip you are not doing your job very well.
We think it's a new addition? It wasn't this apparent when we were in the US last year. Most of the restaurants we've been to this time ask for a tip on the screen, and that is BEFORE we get the food.
I'm 62 years old and live in the United States Pennsylvania and not one restaurant has ever asked for a tip before the meal or even after the meal. After the meal we usually leave 15% we do not tip at fast-food. And at a buffet we only leave a few dollars.
@@DeanaandPhil at Sonic you only tip if the car hop brings you food. It’s the same ordering system whether you do drive thru or car hop but that’s why it’s there
I'm very excited that you are back in the United States. You'll have to take Phil to Myrtle Beach South Carolina to some of the wonderful seafood buffets. Also you should take Phil to South Florida, and the keys and Key West, and try to go to Disney World, Epcot, Animal Kingdom.
If you haven’t already, visit the State Fair of Texas in September-October and get a Fletchers corny dog. People line up for these, and its a REAL corny dog!
They serve fried butter there. Fried butter. If you can do that, you can do anything! (They take a little pastry shell, load it up with a buttery sauce, and somehow fry it before it all leaks out.)
I never tried Sonic but I loved corn dogs, used to get the frozen ones put them in the microwave and then with ketchup or mustard, the things I miss about the USA
where in the heck are you to where you are required to tip at a freaking sonic? ive been to sonic 100s of times and never heard that. must be in trash state. i always get the double bacon cheeseburger with tots and a grape slush
in Schleswig-Holstein french toast is a normal thing but we call it Armer Ritter. you can make it sweet like the one you eat in the video or with blackbread and chives or onions
If you're sitting at the drive in just tell them if your order is wrong. They've always fixed it, with tip or no. Extremely friendly. I usually don't tip at Sonic but if I do, it's in cash.
If you tip in advance with your card, the server will be taxed on the tip as part of their regular check. If you slip them a dollar or two when they bring your order, they get the money now without taxes.

Hi guys. I took my husband to Sonic for the first time. I totally understand about the tip. You usually tip after your service.. 10 percent 20 percent etc. A drive thru I don't tip. Like Wendy's, Arby's, mc Donald's. Sonic maybe 10 percent or a few bucks. It's hard because like you said you don't want your food to come out bad. I say go with what you feel. We're in Pgh, pa. Everywhere we go your asked for a tip. I think it depends on where you're at and your service. A sit down restaurant 20 percent. N a Sonic 10 percent. Depending on your order. Starbucks 10 percent. Etc. 🫶🫶😋🤤🥨🌭🌯 French toast was always my favorite as a kid. I make it for dinner. We'll have eggs too. Definitely syrup. Cut up bananas. Yum 💙🩷
I’m so glad you guys feel the same way that we do regarding tipping these people in advance! We were actually talking about this the other day regarding the Uber drivers getting tipped and vice versa! If they know they aren’t getting a tip the will usually and deliberately slack on their service which really infuriates me
What you’re saying is not true to my experience or that of anyone I’ve talked to about it. Uber driver will typically only accept your ride if you’ve tipped enough to make it worth it. If you’re a bad tipper then you’ll get the bottom of the barrel as far as drivers go.
One of my comments disappeared. I hope this one does not disappear. I mentioned you should take Phil to Myrtle Beach South Carolina to some of the delicious seafood buffets. Then take him to Disney and Epcot, and Animal Kingdom and then South Florida, Miami and the keys and Key West. 🌞🇺🇸🌞🇺🇸🌞🇺🇸
Totally. The TIP THING is disgusting these days. I generally do $1.50 for deliveries. And I don't tip AT ALL if I go to pick up, like you did. I'll still tip for service at the end of a meal IN A RESTAURANT.
Most restaurants you guys go to I would definitely try (and I don't often eat it but have a guilty pleasure for fast food), but Sonic, (especially asking for a tip and then giving crap service by leaving out all sauce!) I'll definitely pass on. But I don't get Chick-Fil-A either -a long wait in drive-thru for just an okay chicken sandwich with not enough mayo or pickles IMHO and mixing their politics with their fast food is off-putting as well. Two passes.
Fun video. When ordering at Sonic, you can press the red button and request mustard and ketchup or anything else. You need to dip the corn dog in mustard and the tater tots in ketchup. It is customary to tip at Sonic if they bring the food to your car. The tip is for the server - not the cook. Some Sonics have a drive through and it is not customary to tip, at the drive through window.
The Koreans do the craziest versions of American food sometimes. Those potato corn dogs are an amazing treat, but yeah, super calorific. I don't have any near me, but I also want to try Korean pizza.
Didn't know you are supposed to tip at fast food Sonic? I've never been to a Sonic and now I'll never go. I refuse to tip at fast food restaurants. They need to pay their employees more!
On the coney always get the foot long. And make sure you get the all beef dog. If you don't tell them they give you the basic meat frank. Plus just order extra chili and cheese. No relish, and just mustard and onions. 🌭🌭Also ask for marinara sauce for the cheese sticks. I would've pushed the button and told them where's the cheese sauce? For the 🥨 pretzel.😋👍And ask for cheese on the tots. And get an ocean water to drink.
Oooh, Guga has snuck into the channel at 0:44. If you don't know what I mean, check him out. "I know they don't look that good right now, but watch this..." and "Lezz dew id" 😁 Edit: oooh, the double entendres keep on coming... 😁😂 Deanna really kicked it off...
"This looks like a turd" lol, awesome. Ya, trying to serve a sad American interpretation of a Brezel to a German was destined to fail from the get go. Great video guys. Love it. Keep up the good work.
Love corndogs. I have a sweet tooth so I don't mind them being sweet. I prefer to dip min into yellow mustard. I also absolutely love French toast sticks. Definitely have to have syrup.
BTW we have great pretzels in Pennsylvania where millions of Germans settled in the 1700s and 18 00s. I wouldn't even think of getting a pretzel at Sonic.
At Sonic... you tip $1 or your remaining change for the server bringing the food out. Before they even had that option on the digital menu, we always gave the server our leftover change or a dollar.😁PS.. i adore Sonic corndogs and their fountain drinks with the pebble ice!
Agreed, I used to work for Sonic when I was a teenager back in the 80's. Remember when their hamburgers were actually made to order? We never expected a tip, it was always a nice surprise when I got one.
Seems to me that Sonic is, in fact, Subsonic. The tipping "culture" (tipping when ordering in a drive-through? C'mon!) and the unpredictable sales taxes are two of the many reasons I don't even consider going to the USA. I'm perfectly fine in The Netherlands and the rest of Europe, thank you!
I used to go to Sonic all the time years ago. In my opinion the best thing there is the foot-long chili dog and the banana split. You got to remember you're getting older and you're not going to like the same things as you did when you were a kid, our taste changes as we grow older. Also you could have pushed the button and asked for them to bring you out sauces. You were missing marinara for your mozzarella sticks, you were missing marinara for your jalapeno poppers, you were missing ketchup, mustard, ranch, ect. Just push the button and ask for your condiments. It's simple. Problem solved!
I always wonder what Germans will think about a chili dog. It's like an unholy mashup of German, Mexican and American food. Apparently, not much! 🤣 Weird that Phil never had a corn dog, but of course he hasn't...
When you brought Phil to the United States last time i was disappointed. Many of the places you took him was for fast and junk food. We have fantastic restaurants in the United States. Think of taking him to a great steak house, or a really good seafood restaurant, or a nice family restaurant, or even a really good diner. There are hundreds of thousands of restaurants Across America that are not fast food. Showing just fast food and junk food just makes us look bad.
You're right that it perpetuates the stereotype that all Americans eat is junk. It could be financial reasons they don't review fancy places. But have they ever done Mexican? I just had guests from America and 2 days in they said they miss Mexican food: ( They also ate mostly American fast food while visiting. I think it's cuz they're not young people and have no desire to try unknown foods. How sad. When I visit America I want Crab Pot and Ruth's Chris!
That second one is a Korean corn dog. The cheddar peppers are called jalapeno poppers here in the west coast. Is that what they are called around the rest of the US?
Jalepeno poppers always have cream cheese inside right? You can get them frozen in Germany but they always explode in the oven before fully cooked so they're no fun to eat.
@@LythaWausW they can come with any cheese. I suspect that cream cheese is just easier to work with in the factories where they are bagged commercially? Just a guess. If you haven't had the ones with other cheeses, you should try them. Nom
Hey Deana, I had my first Tater tots a few years ago in US Bank Stadium, Minneapolis. Since that day I've missed something like that in Germany and I have to say I found something. It is called "Snack Rösti". You can't find them everywhere, but we have them in our local "Kaufland". Maybe you will find them anywhere in your area too?
if you want to try a TRUE Coney Dog you need to go to any Coney Restaurant in Michigan and get a 100 times better coney dog. Any where in Michigan (mostly SE Michigan - Detroit Area) will be better than any Sonic could think of being
Mmm, corndogs. Funny though- I never think of Sonic as any other than great drinks (Sprite with Strawberrries! Limeades!) and hamburgers. Their hamburgers are the best. We've tipped at Sonic since the 80s, to me that isn't new- because they bring the order out to you, but I always tip in cash.
Sonic has always been a tipping place. They bring your food out, similar to a sit down restaurant. They used to clean up after you finished. They used to serve the food on a tray that hung from your window, then you would place all the trash on the tray and leave it on a shelf under the order pane. If you ever are in Texas or Oklahoma, even in the southeastern states, you should try something that was started here by German immigrants, called a chicken fried steak. It comes with a white gravy and is amazing when done right. It might remind you of schnitzel, except made from full grown cows instead of veal, pork or lamb.
Ok…. I’ll NEVER visit SONIC again!!! Seeing that a TIP is required before you get your food, obviously if you don’t TIP, your order is SCREWED!!! 😡😡. You’ll be lucky if you don’t get spit in your food!! NEVER GOING TO SONIC AGAIN!! 😡😡😡🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I don't usually comment because I stream most videos on my TV, but I watched this this morning, and knowing I had homemade chili..... We had chili cheese hot dogs that were AMAZING. Thanks for the idea!
The Sonic headquarters in Oklahoma City in the Bricktown District (which is a district within downtown OKC) has a restaurant on the ground floor and it’s the only Sonic that’s not a drive-in or drive-thru. It is themed like a 1950s/1960s diner with booths and tables and you order from a counter just like you would at any other fast food. To be fair, Bricktown is an entertainment and dining district so people aren’t usually going there for fast food (although there’s also a McDonald’s in Bricktown, too), but it is there for folks in the district who want to go to it. So if you’re ever in OKC you should stop in there just to see the Sonic that’s a sit down restaurant. The food is the same. Most folks where I live mostly go to Sonic to get custom drinks like a cherry vanilla Dr Pepper, raspberry Sprite with Nerds in it, etc during happy hour. Or to get root beer floats or coke floats, etc (because our A&W restaurant closed so it and Braum’s are the only restaurants left that still serve ice cream floats). My town has 3 McDonald’s and 4 Sonic’s (one at each cardinal point of entry of the town along the two major US highways that intersect my city) [my city has 51,000 people and has 8 Dollar Generals now….I grew up here in the 1980s and 1990s with a population of 45,000 and we had two, moved away and then moved back in 2004 and we had 4 with a population of 49,000 and now in 2023 there’s 8! They’re like everywhere now it’s weird!]. At least they remembered a straw for your drink! But sucks that they forgot your condiments. Phil is right, a lot of that food is better with sauces. At least the Blast didn’t disappoint (Phil said it’s hard to mess up, but as a former Crew Trainer for a McDonald’s I can attest that I’ve worked with folks who accomplished that difficult task…worked at a Braum’s and at a local steakhouse with some ice cream desserts and also worked with a few folks who surprisingly messed up ice cream….still not sure how they did it!). Great video!
You should of asked for the condiments. Corn dogs need mustard. Fletcher's corny dogs at the Texas State Fair are best. Any fair or carnival will have better corn dogs than Sonic. Last I NEVER put ketchup on any dog.
The tipping ahead of time request started right after the pandemic when people were forced to do a lot of takeout. It's also like a "service/covid fee".
If you like the Sonic Blast, you need to try the original blended soft serve dessert--The DQ (Dairy Queen) Blizzard. The Mud Pie is my personal favorite, and I always request they add some mint. Amazing.
Not going to tip when I pick up my own food and you do nothing but order it for me. You don't bring it to me, serve coffee or something to a table, I am NOT TIPPING. YES IT IS OUT OF HAND AND INSANE !!!!
Yeah, Sonic is AWFUL! They USED to be good in the early to mid '70's. But I do crave their cherry limeade every couple of years. As for the condiments, too bad. They did slack on that one. They used to bring the food on a tray and hang it on your window. Another thing I miss.
I still don't know why I'm writing it in English but well..."Arme Ritter" is like french toast. And I honestly wonder why you should tip in advance - if everything arrives wrong and not even ketchup/sauces are included. $o ein Blödsinn. 😎
Corn dogs need Mustard!!! I kill mine with mustard! So sad you didn’t even have condiments to make it better. I’m sorry.. so sad.. condiments just help them I feel.
Deana & Phil ; Go to ''Sonic Drive In'' on a Tuesday after 5 PM and they have Burgers at Half Price ! Buy 2 for the price of One ! And try some of their Cheddar Poppers ! Mmmm! Yummy and also try their Onion Rings ! They are the Best !

6/10 is about the best you can expect from fast food. That second corn dog looks incredible. I’d rather eat there than fast food drive-thrus.
Depends on the fast food place IMO… Some spots are truly better than 6/10

You don't have to tip for fast food. Don't fall for guilt tipping.
Well that's put me off. It's fast food, not an actual restaurant
Surely you can't keep tipping a fast food place that forgets part of your order ,every time !! 👋🇳🇿 NZ
You love corn dogs? You would love their Korean counterpart!
EDIT: Oh, that Mr. Cow thing is very Korean-like.
Came here to say the saw about Mr. Cow. So, long story short, he doesn’t like American corn dogs.
From what I read online it’s an Asian owned business and they buy at least some of their ingredients from South Korean suppliers.
I’m any event Korean hot dogs are amazing ^_^
Definitely preferred the potato corn dog!
@@DeanaandPhil Just google "Korean corn dog" & you'll see the potato one plus several other variations.
I tried a Korean corn dog once and didn't like the sugar on it. It made the whole thing taste weird.
Take your husband to a county fair. Large turkey legs and deep fried whatever

That Mr. Cow place was totally just Korean style corndogs. Maybe not the flamin' hot, but definitely those "french fry" corn dogs.
Exactly. I am sure that is Korean gochugaru chili flakes
The bread being a bit sweet isn't a Sonic thing, it's an american thing. Felt like I was eating pastry when I went to my first Wendy's.
If I heard my order taker talk to customers like that guy did I would immediately fire them
very common here lol
in Schleswig-Holstein french toast is a normal thing but we call it Armer Ritter. you can make it sweet like the one you eat in the video or with blackbread and chives or onions
I was just going to mention that. There is French toast in Germany and it isn't just a regional specialty...you find it everywhere in the country.
Also try Korean corn dog. It has cheese and meat inside. On the outside they sprinkle things in top. What make it unique is the dipping sauce
That sounds really interesting!
The second corn dog has some amazing features!
Gotta take Phil to Dairy Queen and get the blizzard, Carl’s Jr has pretty good hamburgers

Fun video. When ordering at Sonic, you can press the red button and request mustard and ketchup or anything else. You need to dip the corn dog in mustard and the tater tots in ketchup. It is customary to tip at Sonic if they bring the food to your car. The tip is for the server - not the cook. Some Sonics have a drive through and it is not customary to tip, at the drive through window.
No you can
The Koreans do the craziest versions of American food sometimes. Those potato corn dogs are an amazing treat, but yeah, super calorific. I don't have any near me, but I also want to try Korean pizza.
Didn't know you are supposed to tip at fast food Sonic? I've never been to a Sonic and now I'll never go. I refuse to tip at fast food restaurants. They need to pay their employees more!
My husband and I really enjoy your videos. We are sorry Sonic sucked. We loved the Mr. Cow portion 😍
I have sadly never liked the food in America. Too much fast food, salt, processed food…. Not for me.
Chili cheese dog looks disgusting. :-) :-) I get a better looking hot dog Harvey's
On the coney always get the foot long. And make sure you get the all beef dog. If you don't tell them they give you the basic meat frank. Plus just order extra chili and cheese. No relish, and just mustard and onions. 🌭🌭Also ask for marinara sauce for the cheese sticks. I would've pushed the button and told them where's the cheese sauce? For the 🥨 pretzel.😋👍And ask for cheese on the tots. And get an ocean water to drink.
Oooh, Guga has snuck into the channel at 0:44. If you don't know what I mean, check him out. "I know they don't look that good right now, but watch this..." and "Lezz dew id" 😁
Edit: oooh, the double entendres keep on coming... 😁😂 Deanna really kicked it off...
I like how he totally ignored her constantly making low-key gay references. Respect
Tipping in advance is a hard pass
That chili cheese conie has so much less chili on it than I've ever seen. They normally are so great! I love their corn dogs too.
now I'm craving a corn dog with fried potatoes
"America, summed up in one big meal." - Bites into a Korean corn dog.
Of all of the great places to eat in the US, why Sonic? They’re so ghetto.
"This looks like a turd" lol, awesome. Ya, trying to serve a sad American interpretation of a Brezel to a German was destined to fail from the get go. Great video guys. Love it. Keep up the good work.
haha We watched it back while editing and said it still looks like a turd! Thanks, Barry! We appreciate you and your support!
Hey. I recognize that Sonic on Woodruff Rd!
Love corndogs. I have a sweet tooth so I don't mind them being sweet. I prefer to dip min into yellow mustard. I also absolutely love French toast sticks. Definitely have to have syrup.
BTW we have great pretzels in Pennsylvania where millions of Germans settled in the 1700s and 18 00s. I wouldn't even think of getting a pretzel at Sonic.
Ya know, Pennsylvania means Penn's Woods.
No ketchup on hot dogs...only mustard.
At Sonic... you tip $1 or your remaining change for the server bringing the food out. Before they even had that option on the digital menu, we always gave the server our leftover change or a dollar.😁PS.. i adore Sonic corndogs and their fountain drinks with the pebble ice!
Agreed, I used to work for Sonic when I was a teenager back in the 80's. Remember when their hamburgers were actually made to order? We never expected a tip, it was always a nice surprise when I got one.
Seems to me that Sonic is, in fact, Subsonic. The tipping "culture" (tipping when ordering in a drive-through? C'mon!) and the unpredictable sales taxes are two of the many reasons I don't even consider going to the USA. I'm perfectly fine in The Netherlands and the rest of Europe, thank you!
@@coollady2179 Plus the service in Europe is awful. Sullen, indifferent waiters. Not worth the $.
I used to go to Sonic all the time years ago. In my opinion the best thing there is the foot-long chili dog and the banana split. You got to remember you're getting older and you're not going to like the same things as you did when you were a kid, our taste changes as we grow older. Also you could have pushed the button and asked for them to bring you out sauces. You were missing marinara for your mozzarella sticks, you were missing marinara for your jalapeno poppers, you were missing ketchup, mustard, ranch, ect. Just push the button and ask for your condiments. It's simple. Problem solved!
I think they drove away and park somewhere else
I always wonder what Germans will think about a chili dog. It's like an unholy mashup of German, Mexican and American food. Apparently, not much! 🤣 Weird that Phil never had a corn dog, but of course he hasn't...
I Must admit the food does not look great !!!!
Great to see a young couple not working at all.
sonic? is she trying to kill you?
That's a Korean corn dog from Mr. Cow
Sonic Blast is the name of a Sonic the hedgehog videogame from 1996 released on the Game Gear.
Ohhhhh that's cool! Fun info thanks!
Enjoy your corn dog, Phil!
You should go to a Waffle house
Who tips at a fast food place.
Mustard only on hotdogs
When you brought Phil to the United States last time i was disappointed. Many of the places you took him was for fast and junk food. We have fantastic restaurants in the United States. Think of taking him to a great steak house, or a really good seafood restaurant, or a nice family restaurant, or even a really good diner. There are hundreds of thousands of restaurants Across America that are not fast food. Showing just fast food and junk food just makes us look bad.
You're right that it perpetuates the stereotype that all Americans eat is junk. It could be financial reasons they don't review fancy places. But have they ever done Mexican? I just had guests from America and 2 days in they said they miss Mexican food: ( They also ate mostly American fast food while visiting. I think it's cuz they're not young people and have no desire to try unknown foods. How sad. When I visit America I want Crab Pot and Ruth's Chris!
Or a good Italian restaurant.
That second one is a Korean corn dog.
The cheddar peppers are called jalapeno poppers here in the west coast. Is that what they are called around the rest of the US?
Jalepeno poppers always have cream cheese inside right? You can get them frozen in Germany but they always explode in the oven before fully cooked so they're no fun to eat.
@@LythaWausW they can come with any cheese. I suspect that cream cheese is just easier to work with in the factories where they are bagged commercially? Just a guess. If you haven't had the ones with other cheeses, you should try them. Nom
Hey Deana, I had my first Tater tots a few years ago in US Bank Stadium, Minneapolis. Since that day I've missed something like that in Germany and I have to say I found something. It is called "Snack Rösti". You can't find them everywhere, but we have them in our local "Kaufland". Maybe you will find them anywhere in your area too?
if you want to try a TRUE Coney Dog you need to go to any Coney Restaurant in Michigan and get a 100 times better coney dog. Any where in Michigan (mostly SE Michigan - Detroit Area) will be better than any Sonic could think of being
Mmm, corndogs. Funny though- I never think of Sonic as any other than great drinks (Sprite with Strawberrries! Limeades!) and hamburgers. Their hamburgers are the best. We've tipped at Sonic since the 80s, to me that isn't new- because they bring the order out to you, but I always tip in cash.
Sonic has always been a tipping place. They bring your food out, similar to a sit down restaurant. They used to clean up after you finished. They used to serve the food on a tray that hung from your window, then you would place all the trash on the tray and leave it on a shelf under the order pane.
If you ever are in Texas or Oklahoma, even in the southeastern states, you should try something that was started here by German immigrants, called a chicken fried steak. It comes with a white gravy and is amazing when done right. It might remind you of schnitzel, except made from full grown cows instead of veal, pork or lamb.
Ok…. I’ll NEVER visit SONIC again!!! Seeing that a TIP is required before you get your food, obviously if you don’t TIP, your order is SCREWED!!! 😡😡. You’ll be lucky if you don’t get spit in your food!! NEVER GOING TO SONIC AGAIN!! 😡😡😡🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
It's nice to have a playful wife but she's a little bit of a pervert with the corn dog
hard to find a corndog made with sour style buttermilk cornbread....but I like them better....don't like sweet cornbread.
The person who SERVES YOU is not the person that makes our food. You TIP the SERVER. NOT the cook. Jesus.
Just found y’all’s channel! Rock Hill In the house! Loved the southern soul food. Liked and subscribed. Much love. ❤️
I don't usually comment because I stream most videos on my TV, but I watched this this morning, and knowing I had homemade chili..... We had chili cheese hot dogs that were AMAZING. Thanks for the idea!
The Sonic headquarters in Oklahoma City in the Bricktown District (which is a district within downtown OKC) has a restaurant on the ground floor and it’s the only Sonic that’s not a drive-in or drive-thru. It is themed like a 1950s/1960s diner with booths and tables and you order from a counter just like you would at any other fast food. To be fair, Bricktown is an entertainment and dining district so people aren’t usually going there for fast food (although there’s also a McDonald’s in Bricktown, too), but it is there for folks in the district who want to go to it. So if you’re ever in OKC you should stop in there just to see the Sonic that’s a sit down restaurant. The food is the same. Most folks where I live mostly go to Sonic to get custom drinks like a cherry vanilla Dr Pepper, raspberry Sprite with Nerds in it, etc during happy hour. Or to get root beer floats or coke floats, etc (because our A&W restaurant closed so it and Braum’s are the only restaurants left that still serve ice cream floats). My town has 3 McDonald’s and 4 Sonic’s (one at each cardinal point of entry of the town along the two major US highways that intersect my city) [my city has 51,000 people and has 8 Dollar Generals now….I grew up here in the 1980s and 1990s with a population of 45,000 and we had two, moved away and then moved back in 2004 and we had 4 with a population of 49,000 and now in 2023 there’s 8! They’re like everywhere now it’s weird!].
At least they remembered a straw for your drink! But sucks that they forgot your condiments. Phil is right, a lot of that food is better with sauces. At least the Blast didn’t disappoint (Phil said it’s hard to mess up, but as a former Crew Trainer for a McDonald’s I can attest that I’ve worked with folks who accomplished that difficult task…worked at a Braum’s and at a local steakhouse with some ice cream desserts and also worked with a few folks who surprisingly messed up ice cream….still not sure how they did it!). Great video!
You should of asked for the condiments. Corn dogs need mustard. Fletcher's corny dogs at the Texas State Fair are best. Any fair or carnival will have better corn dogs than Sonic. Last I NEVER put ketchup on any dog.
The tipping ahead of time request started right after the pandemic when people were forced to do a lot of takeout. It's also like a "service/covid fee".
If you like the Sonic Blast, you need to try the original blended soft serve dessert--The DQ (Dairy Queen) Blizzard. The Mud Pie is my personal favorite, and I always request they add some mint. Amazing.
Not going to tip when I pick up my own food and you do nothing but order it for me. You don't bring it to me, serve coffee or something to a table, I am NOT TIPPING. YES IT IS OUT OF HAND AND INSANE !!!!
Yeah, Sonic is AWFUL! They USED to be good in the early to mid '70's. But I do crave their cherry limeade every couple of years. As for the condiments, too bad. They did slack on that one. They used to bring the food on a tray and hang it on your window. Another thing I miss.
I still don't know why I'm writing it in English but well..."Arme Ritter" is like french toast. And I honestly wonder why you should tip in advance - if everything arrives wrong and not even ketchup/sauces are included. $o ein Blödsinn. 😎
Corn dogs need Mustard!!! I kill mine with mustard! So sad you didn’t even have condiments to make it better. I’m sorry.. so sad.. condiments just help them I feel.
Corn Dogs are best with Yellow Mustard ! Or Both Ketchup and Yellow Mustard !
Love corndogs. Can get in UK (in Lidl) but they're tiny by comparison. Also dip in some chilli sauce/ketchup
Deana & Phil ; Go to ''Sonic Drive In'' on a Tuesday after 5 PM and they have Burgers at Half Price ! Buy 2 for the price of One ! And try some of their Cheddar Poppers ! Mmmm! Yummy and also try their Onion Rings ! They are the Best !
If you're ever in Rockaway Beach Oregon, on hwy 101 and S 6th is Pronto Pup. They make an excellent corn dog.
Love your videos, you guys are awesome!
