YYYYES! Finally an Aus version! Please tell me there will be Aus vs UK episodes, because as an Aussie living in the UK this is crucial info for me to show my friends and colleagues.
What is a chain in Australia that is really huge there, that may be considered not-as-good by American standards? Like is Wendy's or Arby's the GOAT there? Dominos? I'd LOVE to see more Aussie eps for sure! Also, do the Hungry Jacks have similar menus to the Burger Kings here? You don't have to answer me, lol, I'm just excited to learn more about what's going on there :) I've ALWAYS wanted to visit! And I'd love to see Aus/UK episodes too, if only to see sweet, sweet Harry
Well to start we dont have Wendy's or Arby's (at least not that I know of) but we do have two big chains that are basically the same called "Chicken Treat" and "Red Roaster"
@@LindseyLouWhoFun fact Hungry Jacks is the same as Burger King ..in the 1970s when Burger King went to open its first franchise in Australia there was already a small burger place called Burger King who had rights to the name the Burger King franchisee Jack Colin renamed it Hungry Jacks
Red Rooster @@Bragnezam
Judging from this video's exclusives, sounds pretty similar to what we've had recently in the UK.
Yes!! Australia is now on Food Wars!! About time!
Been hankering for it since the series began, me.
even better, they got a banging Sheila as a presenter.
@@CAP198462bro what state is she from cuz I’m still in aus since being born here and no way maccas sells 40 nugs the biggest we do is 24 or has it changed
A food wars between Australia 🇦🇺 and 🇺🇸 would be great with Burger King, especially because BK in Australia is called Hungry Jack’s ! And I love this particularity
That's just going to be a one sided slaughter
Dude honey and chicken nuggets fire. Just saying they're good on the french fries too but they're made for the nuggets. Honey is awesome on the nuggets
Good news. They just released an episode on that.
Hearing her say crash bandicoot on n64 hurt a lot more than you’d think. Overall I like the new host so far and hope that there is bk vs hungry jacks
yup, we sadly have a faker trying to look like a gamer girl.
I was wondering why there were so many dislikes XD
@@UltimateGamerCCshe could simply be misremembering too
I think you need to check your ears with specialist. She never said she had the game on N64
She's kinda annoying, just makes stuff up like no ketchup on a double cheeseburger
About time us Australia is on Food Wars
You’re criminals, the whole lot of ya
About damn time they got to the Land Down Under.
As a brit, gotta say aussie chocolates is goated
Yes! As an American who works at McDonald's that has been to Australia twice, I've been looking forward to this video!
I’m confused why the said there’s no double Big Mac stateside
FINALLY some Aussie representation.
I am a bit jealous that I am not the Australian person 😄😄.
Hopefully we do get 'Ashes' themed episodes soon (Australia vs UK)
I eaten McDonald’s in both countries and I was shocked by that in Australia, they did not have the regular Sprite in Australia
we dont in the uk either, only sprite zero but regular sprite isnt even full sugar any more because of our dumb sugar tax, its half sugar half sweetener
We used to have regular Sprite then it changed not that long ago unfortunately ;^;
Australian McDonald's literally does have regular Sprite. I'm currently on vacation in Australia and I got a normal Sprite from McDonald's literally yesterday lol. You're just wrong.
@@HOTD108_you sure bout that lol theyve changed it to Sprite no sugar
@@HOTD108_how are you gonna say they are wrong when native Australians said otherwise now it could just be the location you went to Doesn’t mean they are wrong
The raspberry custard pie is really dating when this video was shot. Now, for desserts, we have (or had) a Tim Tam McFlurry, a limited edition pineapple sundae, and chocolate soft serve (that may or may not be limited to summer)
And the World Cup sauces
We did have a Raspberry White Chocolate pie for a limited time here in the UK. I enjoyed it.
2:13 you can also get a 24 peices here in aus
I work at an aussie maccas, some of the things mentioned that werent there like malteezer mcflurry and the pie and mozarella sticks were only available for a certain period (usually 6wks) so milo mcflurry and malteezer werent ever available at the same time at least in vic. We also have crispy chicken snack wraps and the smaller wraps are all 8" wholemeal wraps. We have summer and winter promotions in 2 phases and thats when we have new stuff and sometimes things stay. We also have a mcrispy like the US which replaced the chicken deluxe which also came in both crispy and grilled. We also have chocolate soft serve, not all locations yet again in Victoria at least. Love to have aus here but not fully accurate but that may vary if youre from sydney.
Love the choc soft serve! I reckon this was filmed last year, the cups have the Ronald McDonald day and 18th Nov on them ☺️
(I liked the potato scallops y'all should bring them back lol)
Yeah it was probably Spring 2023, considering they have the McHappy Day socks and the World Cup cups@@charlotteturner2310
Nah bruh, the Double Mcchicken is LEGENDARY! 🐐 👑
In South Africa, we love Milo too a core memory was there Milo ice cream! 10/10
Yesss I been waiting for this forget this was posted 4 days ago.
I can't wait to see Australia vs UK.
That's not a current menu in Australia, it looks a few years old.
The crispy chicken deluxe is gone it's now the McCrispy like the US. The McFeast has not been on the menu for a while, it comes and goes. The toys switched to cardboard a while ago, (mostly card games like Pokemon or TopTrump) for easier disposal, but you can get a mini brick McDonalds store as an extra.
In addition to the regular M&M and Oreo McFlurry, they now do them with chocolate soft serve and had a TimTam McFlurry.
I got a crispy chicken deluxe like a week ago so you can definitely still get them.
@@milousoda30 Glad to hear that, are you just visiting there or an OZ chick?? 😎
They would have filmed this a few months ago. It's not completely current if things have changed on the menu in the last few months but definitely not a few years old.
the menus like 6 months old, not years....
Well as long as this is relatively the same, the McDonald's by me I've seen menus stay on there for literally one week and go away
Now we just need is a Burger King vs Hungry Jacks
They would have to include a full segment as to why the different name.
I am all for it.
I always find HJs so inferior to Maccas for me :/
IVE WAITED SO LONG FOR AUSTRALIA ON FOOD WARS! FINALLY 🎉
Honey can be used with McNuggets! They taste great with honey. Used to eat them like that as a kid.
Is it better than sweet and sour?
@@joshchan2642Sweet and Sour and Aioli is the good combo dip
Love the Australian/US version. I do get Coke Zero all the time here in the US. I swear we used to have this packets of little crunchy cookies here in the US.
Okay we used to have those McDonalds Land cookies in America now that I'm seeing them and they are TRULY missed!!!
I'm here for the aussie accent 😭❤
Thank you for finally including Australia 🇦🇺 🎉
Pleased to see Australia is being represented now 😊
From that quick look at the deluxe quarter pounder, it looks to have almost the same ingredients as a McFeast, which is just a Quarter pounder with lettuce, mayo and tomato.
I think the video was filmed a few months back now too - mccrispy has replaced some of the chicken burgers and the milo McFlurry was limited time only (unfortunately).
Most of the time McCafé drinks are also not barista made in other parts of the world. Usually it’s coffee out of a machine in other countries.
For those interested, food items are made to order (from some precooked items) in Australia. You won’t find those racks with burgers sitting in them for ages waiting to be picked.
I worked at McDonald's back in 2008 when they introduced the McDouble and raised the prices of the double cheeseburger.
The prices swapped out in our POS system right at midnight, fucked me up the next 3 hours until we closed that night because a bunch of other small adjustments went live.
It took food Wars 2 years to find another place that serves the 40 piece? Perhaps they should have just looked up 🇨🇦
Aussie life 💁🏼♀️. We also have Tim tam ice cream and chocolate swirl
the beef flavouring in american fries is quite interesting
its almost certainly because originally mcdonalds fries were cooked in beef tallow which among other things made them slightly beefy tasting
so they probably wanted to keep that flavour, even if they lost all the other benefits of beef tallow
Milo is more malt-chocolate than all chocolate. Not sweet like chocolate with a malty taste. Yum 😋
Fun fact: most popular/purchased Maccas item in Australia is the hash brown ✌️
Just tried milo in Asia. Its poor
@@michaelgordonharper4536 milo in Asia does not equal to the Milo in Australia
I was just in Australia not too long ago and this was anticipated to happen finally.
I remember that wraps were available in the US but they were discontinued. Or they were placed somewhere else on the menu when they kept shuffling things around and removing things like the dollar menu.
Really? A new Food Wars? Out of the blue
Welcome Brett!
Interesting, one of my biggest issues with american mcdonalds is the lack of bbq burgers (and the existing options being very bland and boring to me) Those bbq burgers in australia look amazing.
Back in the early 2000’s I used to manage the Maccas in Broome, WA. Which at the time was the most logistically remote McDonald’s in the world, with all our stock coming up from Perth over 2000km’s away. We were closer to Bali. If we ran out of anything we had to transfer it from Port Hedland, the next nearest store, over 600km’s away.
Due to Subways success Maccas jumped on the fresh made sandwich trend, with the Deli Choices menu, it was a disaster. We also used to do roast chicken (chook), like Red Rooster when I first started though and it was tasty. What happened to the McOz burger with beetroot?
I've been binge watching these all afternoon 🤣🤣 I'm Aussie so it's really awesome to see what other Country foods are like.
Been looking forward to comparing US versus Aussie Maccas.
We just need McGriddles in Australia forreallll 😭😭😂
we don't at all
Man, I had such a bad night last night but this video made me feel so much better
OMG YES I have been waiting for this for ages like i'm not kidding
You guys should compare it with the Brazilian Mc Donalds!
Britt, you are lovely. Welcome and so nice to have you on the show! 😊
in australia also for happy meals you can choose between a cheeseburger,3 nuggets or 6 nuggets,or a crispy chicken snackwrapp with a side or chips, tomatoes,apple slices or a garden salad
Don’t know where you get your maccas fries from but mine are near that full ever
I would devour a Starbucks episode,with your thoughts of coffee culture between Australia and the US.
4:00 You saw a little McNote.
6:48 e.g. Wendy's where the salads have better quality than the ones from Burger King🥗
7:53 Me too, Nico. One of my brothers, not my sister who didn't do too much electronic gaming, lost it. I played a little of it. I endeavour'd to find it, but 'twas nowhere in my childhood home in a bay area.🎮
McDonalds in the U.S. does offer the triple cheeseburger. It is on the app menu for both a full meal or just the sandwich. It may be that this is on a case by case basis between stores like hot mustard though.
It is we have it at the one i work at same with say the mcrib shamrock shakes it depends on the store who owns it and what management wants. Its my assumption that stores get some ability to accept an item on the menu
we have a triple cheese at the McDs i work at
I saw someone ask for this and they just released the assuie version. This will be enjoyable 😂
I've been always curious about how Australia's Mcdonald's (aka Maccas) is different than the McDonald's in the US. In addition, I also want to say Britt is very lovely too. Britt's demonstration in all of the exclusives in Australia's McDonald's is intriguing. I can't wait to try them when I plan to visit Australia.
Expect the maccas food to be better quality then the USA lol
So awesome food wars
Because Wendy's in Australia corresponds to Australian ice cream parlour franchise Wendy's Milk Bar, the restaurant chain known as Wendy's should rename itself as "Dave's" for the Australian market (as well as the European market), similar to how Burger King is known as Hungry Jack's there.
As a Kiwi this is the closest we will get to being on food wars haha 😆 I do have to say that Australian McDonald’s is very similar to New Zealand McDonald’s after watching this though.
Very similar to what we have in NZ. We do have some different stuff though! Our Kiwi Burger from Maccas is amazing!
When I went to AUS in 2015 the Frozen Cokes blew my mind, never did try "The Spider" (Frozen coke with soft serve on top) but it sounded super interesting
There’s even different things in different places in the USA. Here in Hawaii the menu has poi pies and for breakfast Portuguese sausage and rice
And spam at McDonald's in Hawaii, yummy
the nuggets arent correct australia has 6 nuggets sizes. 3,6,10,20,24,40. also the mcfeast isnt apart of them menu its only apart of the limited time menu. the mcrispy deluxe we have in aus too. mozzerella sticks are also not part of the menu but were a limited time item. the creme brulee also was limited time only item same with the milo and malteeser mcflurry and the rasberry custard pie. also with the sauces ive never eve heard of them being a thing here before so assume thats also a limited item. honestly really disapointing to see so many things wrong in this video. and misleading to say so many limited time menu items are exclusive to aus when its not even apart of our regular menu.
YES!!! Finally, we get our turn! 🇦🇺
forgot the 24piece of nuggets for the Aus comparison
Her American National dish she called it hamburgers invented in Germany, fries invented in Belgium, first soft drink English. Here’s a bit more info Yes, the concept of the first soft drink, soda water, is attributed to Joseph Priestley, who made the discovery in England in 1767. Ketchup invented in China.
After Australia I would love to see a Singapore series!
0:41 thanks joe 🙂👍
So happy to see Australia represented in Food Wars!!
Us Aussies have the qtr&dbl qtr pounder 😅
Great to see Aus tho finally
Just a reminder all mcdonalds are different so a lot of these are specific to thier respective mcdonalds. Mine has a triple cheese burger so obviously that is not specific to australia just the mcdonalds that were chosen. Same with we were supposed to get the mcrib back and we didn’t depending on management
The first McDonald’s McCafé concept was introduced in Swanson Street, in Melbourne’s CBD in 1993 in recognition of Melbourne as Australia’s coffee capital. Now, the brand has become an Aussie success story and global phenomenon, with 1,026 McCafé’s across Australia and more than 4,000 in 60 countries across the world.
Did they discontinue the honey mustard sauce? When I was a kid I dipped my Chicken McNuggets in honey but I haven’t done that since.
Season 6?, here we go
2:13 By the way Australia also have the 24 piece at Maccas. If your ever ordering a 20pc I recommend you order a 24 piece as it's like roughly $2 cheaper.
Aussies are prayers have been answered. Need a vs uk one too
Australia has the 24 piece nuggets too.
They work out to be the best value too at $12
Love the new host! Yay Australia 🙌
Yay love to see this as it's the closest we'll get to having a Food Wars NZ. Our menu is similar to Australia but I would say we have a few less options. Btw it's a potato fritter 😉
No one cares about NZ.
I used to love the chicken fold over at maccas ❤❤
You can get a soda in a happy meal. You can also get double fries if you take out the apples.
7:48 did she really said she played crash bandicoot on the Nintendo 64 😂 it’s like.
“last time I played Halo was on PlayStation “
she's a fake gamer girl, either that or she hasnt picked up a controller since the millenium changed.
I almost died at that part 🪦
Forgot the 24 McNuggets.
I've been to a few micky ds around the US that have different menus - I've seen pizza and adult bevvies in Las Vegas, the rocknroll one in Chicago had different menu items as well, and sweet tea all over the south
This must have been shot a while ago we have the double bigmac in US we did have Angus burgers but guess wasn't cost effective. My fav was mushroom swiss
They're called scallops in Southern England but fritters everywhere else in the UK. "Potato cake" here refers to Irish potato farls/scones
Crash Bandicoot on the N64. Classic. ;)
There was a mango-macadamia cheesecake at McCafe here (at least in my Queensland town)- & it was just about orgasmic... it disappeared & I am still so salty about its' loss!
Requesters: FRENCH! DO SOMETHING!
France: There's nothing we can do.
4d reduction required a lower tempurt for longer time or a high tempure at a short time.
0:10 Well, congratulations! You have been promoted!
This is awesome
You should also do US regional Maccers 😁
You can get a triple cheeseburger here in the States. At least here in the Philly area
Its finally here i a australia and Indian so I am very excited for it
Aussie maccies has wraps in the happy meals still? They took those away in the UK years ago.
Thank you
So happy about the Maccas silly sock representation.
i expected an ingredient comparison with health comparison stuff you know a real quality check
Another version of scallop vs cake is parma vs parmi for chicken parmigiana (an Aussie pub staple) - its just insane lol. I do remember seeing potato scallop and think: isnt scallop a fish? 😂
Essentially all of the US only burgers can be custom made on the AU menu board.
7:15 I heard there's a kids lunch law in Australia that stated a kids lunch should consist of a main, snack, fruit, and a drink. Maybe they add the grape tomatoes to adhere to this law? 😅
Wow, now I gotta go to Australia. Looks like they got mad options. 😅
You absolutely can get soda with a happy meal in the US - any drink on the menu is available. You could even get coffee with a happy meal.
This woman just makes up stuff
I think the person that did the ordering didn't click "more choices" on the drink selection screen in the app to see the soda. But only milk and Dasani are on the screen before "more choices", so how'd they see the juice and not the soda? lol
Nice!
Yes the steak on that breakfast sandwich looked sad, here at my location they use cheesesteak like steak so I like it, also rookie mistake showing feets for free on her first appearance 😂.
Bring in New Zealand next!
Nice to meet a new host😄
Btw who missing our OG host *NIKHIL*?(he's the man of culture, c'mon @Insider food you know better who's in demand🙃👎)
Looks good is there going to be more US vs Japan
