ReviewBrah is the only food reviewer on the internet to use such excellent and pointed descriptions. I've never heard another reviewer use the word "discordant" to describe an entree.
a tortilla with a chicken tender and some random crap dumped into it is the kind of thing I've made in the kitchen at 3am while high and deliriously tired. the absolute GALL of fast food these days to sell this junk for what they do.
I thought the same thing, looks like something i'd throw together in a rush with zero effort or thought. Slapping a piece of chicken in a wrap and squirting sauce on it... It's sad because fast food restaurants in other countries try much harder and are often cheaper.
Between that bag, the cheese being on a wrap that shouldn't have it, and somehow even messing up a drink... a lot of the issues here seem to stem from a badly managed KFC.
It's endemic. The one in my area is over-priced, constantly "outa my chicken" (verbatim from the manager), and on top of that manages to do the absolute worst possible job with what little they're not out of.
The Mac ‘n cheese wrap seems like one of those things a struggling student would put together from fridge leftovers… a piece of flatbread, a chicken strip, a few spoonfuls of Kraft dinner, and a random sauce….

I work near a KFC and go there to stress eat sometimes. Recently I got chicken that tasted fishy and kinda gamey, which is apparently an indication that it’s going bad or wasn’t washed/handled properly. That was pretty disgusting.
3:44 doorbell jumpscare is priceless! I'm so sorry for laughing, Reviewbrah, but your reaction / the expression on your face... I couldn't help myself. I hope the rest of your 2024 is far less startling.
I don't even go to the KFC by my house anymore. The last three times I went I was told they didn't have enough chicken made to fill an 8 piece order. SMH
I’ll sadly admit: I haven’t watched for a while, and man! I forgot how effortlessly hilarious you are, sir. The doorbell jumpscare almost made me choke with my food. Loved the video, thanks for the review!
I remember how good KFC was as a kid back in the 70's. This garbage they are putting out nowadays is nowhere near as good. This encouraged me to purchase a home Pressure Fryer off eBay. And down the Original KFC recipe rabbit hole I went! After a few years of experimenting and recipe tweaking, I have an extremely close copycat. I think ReviewBrah would approve of.
I might have an explanation for the lack of cheese flavor within all the discord of the mac & cheese wrap. I never learned the proper name of this culinary phenomenon, but I first discovered it as a kid when eating mac & cheese with cut-up hot dogs. When you eat something of a particularly "strong" salty taste like hot dogs (however natural or artificial it may be), anything with a "relatively weaker" salty taste like the mac & cheese will be perceived like having no salty taste at all if you eat it without cleansing your palate in between. The same thing happens with sweet things like a peanut butter & jelly sandwich and chocolate milk - you eat the sandwich first, then the milk doesn't taste sweet at all because the sandwich tasted super sweet and the milk didn't have enough sweetness to overpower it. Two fruits like strawberries and apples - if the apple is sweeter and eaten first, all you'll perceive from the strawberries is the tartness and maybe a bit of sour, but if the strawberries are sweeter and eaten first the apple will taste like bland cardboard mush. Hot sauce that's only about heat and not enough about spice and flavor certainly doesn't help matters.
I don't know why people will pay good money for that food - a chicken tender wrapped in a tortilla. It's like something a college student could make at home.

The last straw for me was when they got rid of Potato Wedges. I thought that was one of the few things that still made them unique.

This is my first time watching this guy and I love how he always calm and collected and even when there is mistakes he just brushes it off saying “it what it is” or “everyone makes mistakes”. Just such a genuine great guy
unrelated story: my mom worked for KFC in the 90s. one night it was 15 minutes to closing. A bus pulls into the parking lot and a guy gets out and asks her if they’re closed yet. she was nice and said no you can come on in. He was really happy about it. She seen him walk back out to the bus then suddenly the whole team of Harlem Globetrotters got off the bus. She told all of the staff to start dropping chicken and don’t stop until she told them to. they all got family meals. she made them all sign a bucket. she still has it.
I used to work at KFC. It grossed me out. Contamination everywhere and the washing practices of my co workers used to disgust me. The dishwasher lady would have the dishes they use for the sides in the same sink I was using to fill the raw chicken dredge buckets (two different sinks). The other cooks would have the dredge baskets all over the floor and would never clean them. Everytime I came in, the breading tables were completely filthy and caked up from the entire day's shift. They are one of those places that has an insanely high demand for the food, more than people know until they actually work there, but there is no support for that demand. You just run out of chicken left and right and they can't afford to pay or even employ cooks.
Our one KFC in our city for a year or so is run exactly as yours was. Not speaking of the cleanliness as I haven't heard but running out of chicken by mid afternoon or 5pm is definitely a "thing" and keeping employees and having enough staff isn't something management care about. It's such a bummer. In the old days, 1970's, the chicken was delicious and not that greasy. Oh well. Not the only game in town.
I worked there for maybe 2 months a few years ago. I was in at 8 am and the night crew would leave all the dishes to "soak" overnight because we didnt have a dishwasher. So i'd always come in to a fucking mound of dishes to do, not to mention having to setup everything else because the assist GM was the most useless worker I've ever seen and would often not even get there until 8:30 so I couldn't even get inside on time. Then she would just sit in the office even if I had only been there for a few days and barely had a clue to what I was doing lol. Then other coworkers would get mad when I didn't do something exactly to how it was "supposed" to be done even though I really didnt have much training at all. One morning it was after 8:30 and the assist GM still wasn't there. I literally said screw this and went across the street to another restaurant and talked to the manager there and got hired there.
It's the owners that are probably stupid! Why are they trying to come out with some new items all the time; when they don't even have the chicken real good yet, like people say. If I was the owner, I would be there cooking the chicken all the time, and have someone right there next to me mastering it right with me. Excellence has gone to the birds these days. Pitiful. But they don't, they got some yoyo back there that thinks he knows what he's doing.😮
KFC is becoming unaffordable. 9 piece, 3 sides was $43.00 CND ($33 USD) and I might add 4 of those pieces were measly drumsticks. Fries were disgusting, gravy was brown coloured fryer grease. The Franchise is declining folks.
I remember when Kentucky Fried Chicken changed it's corporate name taking the "Fried" part out. They finally just abbreviated the name to "KFC" and since have been calling themselves KFC.
90s KFC was soooo good, I remember the chicken wasnt like rubber more flavor with seasoning. The potato wedges were better as well. I would say most fast good fell apart in the early 2000s
I don't know if it is just the KFC that is local to me, but my family and I stopped going to KFC because our chicken would be so greasy that it was inedible. And has anyone noticed how small the chickens are? I can buy chicken legs, thighs and breasts at the grocery store that are easily twice the size as the ones from KFC. I used to love their food, but not now.
We stopped going to KFC several years ago for the same reasons you did. The chicken is so small, it’s the size of pigeons and there’s more breading than chicken. We did like the cole slaw, but won’t go there for only that. Disappointing.
@@bucsr.6106what are you, a KFC shill? Chickens definitely should be bigger than the ones they serve at KFC today. And they’ve always been bigger. What, do you think KFC suddenly started caring about their customers’ health?
A lot of the fast food has turned into fast profits with low quality food. it used to be fairly good and all of the sudden there is a lot of experimentation on producing the lowest quality food.
What I hate about modern KFC is that it used to be about tasting incredible for a cheap family meal that anyone can get, but now it's cheap and inedible. A lot of these once affordable fast food chains are starting to taste like they're prices and are no longer a steal to buy from them. Hell there prices aren't even good anymore either they cost nearly as much as an average restaurant meal for something that tastes lesser than a 99 cent frozen food.
Well KFC and Taco Bell are both ran by same corporation.... Even in some places they share a building together. I've stopped eating both places bc of how their price to quality have gotten ridiculous. Can spend just a little more and get good tasting food at an actual restaurant
KFC was always expensive for fast food but was worth it. Haven’t been in years but it was a greasy yet at the same time dried up mess and have no desire to ever go back. I’m now a Popeyes guy forever.
What i dont get is how they rationalized increasing the $5 3 piece tender box up to like $10 and took out the cookie over the course of the last couple years
@@thethingonlycatscansee963 they took the cookie out the meal in the US like 2-3 years ago for some reason, the cookies are mid anyway but like they also increased the price but gave you less food so it's like wtf
I restarted watching your videos lately, and they always attune me into a very positive dimension. Even though they are very accurately detailed about food review, to me they transcend it. You remind me of Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks, a force for good that truly appreciates a single sip of a good coffee or a good burger. Keep it up, John!
KFC is a shell of its former self. I hate the gravy and mash potatoes anymore. They almost had me back with the chicken sandwiches during that fast food chicken sandwich phase but it quickly went down hill when the chicken started being rubbery again.
Same here with the mashed potatoes and gravy. That was one my favorite parts of eating there was dipping the biscuit into the potatoes n gravy. I quit eating there before the pandemic and even then the potatoes n gravy always had an off taste to them that made me not able to eat them. The gravy would have kinda a heat lamp burnt taste is best can describe it. Then biscuits were hard always. 10 years ago grabbing their 12 or 16 piece meals and getting their large sides were a stable in my household with having kids but haven't touched that in at minimum 5years ago now.
This young man is a gem. I love all things antique or vintage, including fashion, as well as an appreciation for the proper use of the English language. The gentleman's wardrobe is completely authentic and combined well with a rich variety of neckties and waistcoats. ...and yes, on the rare occasion I decide to purchase fast food, these reviews and anecdotes are always top of mind.
Joints like KFC and jack in the box are going downhill fast. They rather be cheap than provide quality product these days. I’ll give them both another 10 years and they’ll file for bankruptcy.
So glad you're still doing what you're doing man! Your videos are always a joy to watch. I used to loved KFC, especially their popcorn chicken because I loved the crunchy bits at the bottom of the box, but they stopped doing them a while ago. :(
When that doorbell rang... OMG! I felt your urge to go hide. I can't say when I laughed so hard. The look on your face. PRICELESS. I hate when I get a knock on my door. LEAVE ME ALONE! Love your videos. Happy New Year.
I just can't get past fast food tortillas. They're such sad, insipid little things. Mayhaps, I'm spoiled here in San Antonio with so many homemade tortillas readily available. Now, that look of sheer terror on your face when the doorbell rang; well, that's priceless!
So let me spill some industry details here. "Why are Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut all getting worse in quality while their menus are starting to blend together?" YUM Food Brands. YUM is the parent company and bought all three restaurants. It now manages them. You can walk into any Pizza Hut and find the exact same nacho cheese in their storeroom that your local Taco Bell (and now KFC) also uses. Now, YUM has started to "save money" by just having all three companies use the same ingredients and sources for those ingredients. Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC all have the same fries, the same nacho cheese, the same tortillas, the same meat sources, EVERYTHING.
Okay, man. You finally got me. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, without subscribing. But that expression of horror from the doorbell ringing finally won me over.
The Michael Jackson of food reviews! I absolutely freakin' love this guy so much! Whenever I watch ReviewBrah, my mind is at ease, and I'm ready to enjoy the dapper, high mannered content. Hands down the absolute greatest food reviewer of all time!
KFC has to rely on these gimmicky menu items because their name isnt enough to carry them now that the fried chicken fast food game is so tough, with higher quality items available at Chik fil-A, Popeyes, Raising Canes and many others rising into prominence.
I wish they’d bring back the original wrap from nearly 20 years ago companioned with thick seasoned steak fries. The original chicken wrap had lettuce, tomato and mayo.
Your natural reaction to a doorbell was mind-blowing! Shows how far we've come. No one ever rings a doorbell. haha... And then cutback to Reviewbrah weilding a samurai sword and an AK. Sooo funny!!!
I've noticed the KFC going down in quality in my town as well. They screwed up my chicken sandwich... FIVE(5) times in a row... Either missing pickles, the wrong chicken, overloading sauce, stale bread... a combination of all these.... I've given up on KFC a while ago.
I live two blocks from a KFC. I've tried. Oh, have I tried. But it's horrible. Every. Single. Time. I call them KFP (Kentucky Fried Pidgeon, because I've never seen chicken breasts that small ever).
That doorbell accompanied by your expression scared the s*** out of me! It's about 2AM right now and I thought it was my doorbell and you somehow heard it!🤣 Best moment ever! You're the best. I have to say those wraps don't look appetizing; no vegetable ever came close to that food and it appears heavy and greasy. I know that's what KFC is all about, and I do love the taste and treat myself to a meal once a year or so, but there are so many nicer looking and tasting alternative wrap restaurants in the past few decades eg. Pita Pit. Those wraps look like they were thrown together without any care, with hardly anything inside except the chicken. Mostly carb and grease. I'm over that. Someone should show KFC how to shred some fresh lettuce.

unrelated story: my mom worked for KFC in the 90s. one night it was 15 minutes to closing. A bus pulls into the parking lot and a guy gets out and asks her if they’re closed yet. she was nice and said no you can come on in. He was really happy about it. She seen him walk back out to the bus then suddenly the whole team of Harlem Globetrotters got off the bus. She told all of the staff to start dropping chicken and don’t stop until she told them to. they all got family meals. she made them all sign a bucket. she still has it.
Wow!! Now that’s a story! I bet she keeps those buckets as good as new lol

I used to work at KFC. It grossed me out. Contamination everywhere and the washing practices of my co workers used to disgust me. The dishwasher lady would have the dishes they use for the sides in the same sink I was using to fill the raw chicken dredge buckets (two different sinks). The other cooks would have the dredge baskets all over the floor and would never clean them. Everytime I came in, the breading tables were completely filthy and caked up from the entire day's shift. They are one of those places that has an insanely high demand for the food, more than people know until they actually work there, but there is no support for that demand. You just run out of chicken left and right and they can't afford to pay or even employ cooks.
Our one KFC in our city for a year or so is run exactly as yours was. Not speaking of the cleanliness as I haven't heard but running out of chicken by mid afternoon or 5pm is definitely a "thing" and keeping employees and having enough staff isn't something management care about. It's such a bummer. In the old days, 1970's, the chicken was delicious and not that greasy. Oh well. Not the only game in town.
Im sure it’s the same at all places .. thank you, I’m going to avoid KFC 🤮
I worked there for maybe 2 months a few years ago. I was in at 8 am and the night crew would leave all the dishes to "soak" overnight because we didnt have a dishwasher. So i'd always come in to a fucking mound of dishes to do, not to mention having to setup everything else because the assist GM was the most useless worker I've ever seen and would often not even get there until 8:30 so I couldn't even get inside on time. Then she would just sit in the office even if I had only been there for a few days and barely had a clue to what I was doing lol. Then other coworkers would get mad when I didn't do something exactly to how it was "supposed" to be done even though I really didnt have much training at all. One morning it was after 8:30 and the assist GM still wasn't there. I literally said screw this and went across the street to another restaurant and talked to the manager there and got hired there.
@@fritos1445damn good for you for walking away from that bs! Ik all too well a GM that does nothing 😂
It's the owners that are probably stupid! Why are they trying to come out with some new items all the time; when they don't even have the chicken real good yet, like people say. If I was the owner, I would be there cooking the chicken all the time, and have someone right there next to me mastering it right with me. Excellence has gone to the birds these days. Pitiful. But they don't, they got some yoyo back there that thinks he knows what he's doing.😮
@3:43 man, I genuinely get nervous when the doorbell rings... and if I'm not expecting anyone, under no circumstances am I answering it.
KFC is becoming unaffordable. 9 piece, 3 sides was $43.00 CND ($33 USD) and I might add 4 of those pieces were measly drumsticks. Fries were disgusting, gravy was brown coloured fryer grease. The Franchise is declining folks.
I remember KFC from the 80s/90s. It died decades ago; this is a fast food imposter trying to be KFC ever since that acquisition
Have you been in a kfc in the last 2 decades? @@goodnightmunchie
I remember when Kentucky Fried Chicken changed it's corporate name taking the "Fried" part out. They finally just abbreviated the name to "KFC" and since have been calling themselves KFC.
just get everything without pickles.. they ruin everything
90s KFC was soooo good, I remember the chicken wasnt like rubber more flavor with seasoning. The potato wedges were better as well. I would say most fast good fell apart in the early 2000s
@@Rivers198 Yep 80's and 90's was good.
Watching this while sick with food poisoning, those shots of the gross insides of the wraps nearly put me over the edge.

I’m in the same boat.
That doorbell edit is absolute comedic perfection.
My local KFC now charges $20.99 for 8 pieces of chicken. Ridiculous!
I don't know if it is just the KFC that is local to me, but my family and I stopped going to KFC because our chicken would be so greasy that it was inedible. And has anyone noticed how small the chickens are? I can buy chicken legs, thighs and breasts at the grocery store that are easily twice the size as the ones from KFC. I used to love their food, but not now.
Chickens should not be that big.
@@bucsr.6106 Mmmm growth hormones and injected chicken broth & water.
We stopped going to KFC several years ago for the same reasons you did. The chicken is so small, it’s the size of pigeons and there’s more breading than chicken. We did like the cole slaw, but won’t go there for only that. Disappointing.
Exactly! It’s like they doubled the grease and downsized their chicken. What happened?
@@bucsr.6106what are you, a KFC shill? Chickens definitely should be bigger than the ones they serve at KFC today. And they’ve always been bigger. What, do you think KFC suddenly started caring about their customers’ health?

A lot of the fast food has turned into fast profits with low quality food. it used to be fairly good and all of the sudden there is a lot of experimentation on producing the lowest quality food.
Imagine working for UPS and this dude answers the door in his suit when you drop off a package.
What I hate about modern KFC is that it used to be about tasting incredible for a cheap family meal that anyone can get, but now it's cheap and inedible. A lot of these once affordable fast food chains are starting to taste like they're prices and are no longer a steal to buy from them. Hell there prices aren't even good anymore either they cost nearly as much as an average restaurant meal for something that tastes lesser than a 99 cent frozen food.
Well KFC and Taco Bell are both ran by same corporation.... Even in some places they share a building together. I've stopped eating both places bc of how their price to quality have gotten ridiculous. Can spend just a little more and get good tasting food at an actual restaurant
mcdonalds and wendays are decent, but only eat that stuff once every other month, or 3 months.
Burger King here is so expensive now. We used to go just because it was so cheap.
KFC was always expensive for fast food but was worth it. Haven’t been in years but it was a greasy yet at the same time dried up mess and have no desire to ever go back.
I’m now a Popeyes guy forever.
Somehow this hit very deeply. A high-brow review of fast food… this really is what the internet was meant to be. Thank you!

I restarted watching your videos lately, and they always attune me into a very positive dimension. Even though they are very accurately detailed about food review, to me they transcend it. You remind me of Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks, a force for good that truly appreciates a single sip of a good coffee or a good burger. Keep it up, John!
Reviewbrau, I enjoy your reviews and am happy to see you didn't stroke out after hearing the door bell. Stay strong and endeavor to persevere.
Reviewbrau lol I like to think there's a German counterpart who reviews beer while wearing a suit lol
KFC is a shell of its former self. I hate the gravy and mash potatoes anymore. They almost had me back with the chicken sandwiches during that fast food chicken sandwich phase but it quickly went down hill when the chicken started being rubbery again.
@@goodnightmunchie also rubbery at times. Atleast chick fila is consistent and pop eyes has only ever been stringy when bad, not rubber.
You are correct. The chicken sandwich was fire in the beginning. It soon went downhill. So sad.
Same here with the mashed potatoes and gravy. That was one my favorite parts of eating there was dipping the biscuit into the potatoes n gravy. I quit eating there before the pandemic and even then the potatoes n gravy always had an off taste to them that made me not able to eat them. The gravy would have kinda a heat lamp burnt taste is best can describe it. Then biscuits were hard always. 10 years ago grabbing their 12 or 16 piece meals and getting their large sides were a stable in my household with having kids but haven't touched that in at minimum 5years ago now.

I felt that doorbell fear in my soul. I too answer the door for unexpected visitors with a knife.
Love that suit. The last time I went to KFC a few months ago I thought it was the worst chicken I've had in my life.
Joints like KFC and jack in the box are going downhill fast. They rather be cheap than provide quality product these days. I’ll give them both another 10 years and they’ll file for bankruptcy.

When I was a kid, KFC was a rare, annual treat. Now it’s a compromise at best. All fast food seems mediocre since COVID.
So glad you're still doing what you're doing man! Your videos are always a joy to watch. I used to loved KFC, especially their popcorn chicken because I loved the crunchy bits at the bottom of the box, but they stopped doing them a while ago. :(

When that doorbell rang... OMG! I felt your urge to go hide. I can't say when I laughed so hard. The look on your face. PRICELESS. I hate when I get a knock on my door. LEAVE ME ALONE! Love your videos. Happy New Year.
I just can't get past fast food tortillas. They're such sad, insipid little things. Mayhaps, I'm spoiled here in San Antonio with so many homemade tortillas readily available.
Now, that look of sheer terror on your face when the doorbell rang; well, that's priceless!
I could not agree with you more! Fast food tortillas are terrible, and they're served cold! Like wtf? I just don't even understand.
So let me spill some industry details here.
"Why are Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut all getting worse in quality while their menus are starting to blend together?"
YUM Food Brands. YUM is the parent company and bought all three restaurants. It now manages them. You can walk into any Pizza Hut and find the exact same nacho cheese in their storeroom that your local Taco Bell (and now KFC) also uses. Now, YUM has started to "save money" by just having all three companies use the same ingredients and sources for those ingredients. Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC all have the same fries, the same nacho cheese, the same tortillas, the same meat sources, EVERYTHING.
Happy Thursday Reviewbrah! That doorbell ring scared me too!!! ...and the huge knife scared me even more!!! 😂

KFC has to rely on these gimmicky menu items because their name isnt enough to carry them now that the fried chicken fast food game is so tough, with higher quality items available at Chik fil-A, Popeyes, Raising Canes and many others rising into prominence.
I wish they’d bring back the original wrap from nearly 20 years ago companioned with thick seasoned steak fries. The original chicken wrap had lettuce, tomato and mayo.

I've noticed the KFC going down in quality in my town as well.
They screwed up my chicken sandwich... FIVE(5) times in a row...
Either missing pickles, the wrong chicken, overloading sauce, stale bread... a combination of all these....
I've given up on KFC a while ago.

I live two blocks from a KFC. I've tried. Oh, have I tried. But it's horrible. Every. Single. Time. I call them KFP (Kentucky Fried Pidgeon, because I've never seen chicken breasts that small ever).
its funny because pigeon is considered a delicacy and is kinda hard to cook perfectly. obviously not any random bird off the street lol.
Depending on the restaurant, that greasy looking bag could mean great food awaits. Coming from KFC though, I'm worried 😅
That doorbell accompanied by your expression scared the s*** out of me! It's about 2AM right now and I thought it was my doorbell and you somehow heard it!🤣 Best moment ever! You're the best. I have to say those wraps don't look appetizing; no vegetable ever came close to that food and it appears heavy and greasy. I know that's what KFC is all about, and I do love the taste and treat myself to a meal once a year or so, but there are so many nicer looking and tasting alternative wrap restaurants in the past few decades eg. Pita Pit. Those wraps look like they were thrown together without any care, with hardly anything inside except the chicken. Mostly carb and grease. I'm over that. Someone should show KFC how to shred some fresh lettuce.
After the doorbell he got a knife, wtf lmao
