@ConsultingHumor It really is! Also, he's either forgetting to buy gloves, or he hasn't been grocery shopping in a while, assuming these taste tests are spread out. So much to ponder about.
I love these videos, and I love Jay's lil touch of adding the letter grade in the top left whenever Sungwon said it was a "High ____". Great video and editing!
I never had Carls Jr until i worked there as my first job. They have some of the best seasonal burgers. They had a philly cheese steak burger and a pulled pork burger that i want them to bring back
Their burgers are solid. But they are the most overpriced major-chain fast food burger joint. No contest. Even when considering inflation. They've been that way for years. I just cant justify their prices. Especially with In-N-Out accross the street. Which is a cheaper double patty burger combo than Carl's for better quality!
I remember how broken you looked on stream when you realized the next logical place for you to review was Carl's jr, haha. But I've always loved them and glad to see this was a pleasant experience for you and that you've turned around on them!
We have exactly one (1) Hardee's here in Pittsburgh. I remember once they were advertising a burger with an entire hot dog cut lengthwise on top of the patty. Always been disappointed in myself that I didn't bear witness to that atrocity first hand
I worked at Hardees years ago, but the chicken tenders and chicken sandwich (not charbroiled) are breaded in store rather than being something they put in the oil. I think it helps the quality a lot.
carls jr lowkey slaps. i never see anyone in the drive thru near us and i'm so scared they'll go out of business. Sungwon needs to bring the business back!
The Sourdough bun is always slightly soggy no matter what. Been that way for decades. A thin veneer of toasted crispness covering slightly soggy, slightly buttery bread.
awesome moment. have the beach towel with this design! all the designs you do for mega64 are so dope!!! had to look through comments as soon as I saw the shirt :D
My favorite character in these videos is the Grocery List. Love seeing how it starts and how it ends. So much character development. Thanks for including it ProZD
It amuses me more then it probably should that Jay is still the best assistant/editor he can be. Also, I dunno why this is always so fascinating to watch. Could be a psych/anthropology thing - it's all data baby.
In my experience, Carl's Jr. has pretty good food, but it's pretty expensive, and there aren't really good options if you want something cheaper or smaller. Good if you want a big burger, but not much variety beyond that. Their milkshakes are really good though.
Nice. Had Carl's Jr. When I moved out to Cali a few years ago, had only had Hardee's a few times at rest stops on road trips in the past. Definitely impressed overall by their quality. Fries are legit top tier, their burgers are great, and I do love the bacon and Swiss chicken sandwich. They are like fast food+ overall.
I'm glad you did this because the nearest Hardee's is an hour and eight minutes away from me, so I've never had them, but I'm still close enough to see advertisements all over the TV. I've always wondered what their food was actually like.
This video has made me realize how many more options Carls Jr has compared to its east half of the US brother, Hardee's. I'm kinda jealous as someone on the Hardee's side of the divide, but mostly I need to see Sungwon compare the two.
I've loved Carl's Jr. for a very long time. Western Bacon Cheeseburger is their king item for me. I wish they'd bring back their legendary crinkle fries. Due to when the Western Bacon was added, and when the crinkle cut was removed, there was only a short period when you could eat both the Western Bacon and the crinkle fries together. That truly was a special time.
We don't have Carl's Jr. down here, but we DO have Hardee's, their other brand. I actually really love their food, and while their breakfast is absolutely where it's at, their burgers are pretty solid as well. Really remember being shocked how good their chicken is, too.
Carl’s Jr. is never really talked about, but for me it’s actually at/just below the tier of McDonald’s, tbh. It’s way better than In n Out, which is way more popular for some reason. Better than Burger King, Wendy’s, Jack in the Box, etc.
Never had Carl's Jr's poppers, but after trying the ones at Getgo gas stations (regional for PA, OH, IN and WV), I became a fan of the chopped jalapeno in cheese goop over the halved jalapeno with cheese goop inside because 90% of the time you need to eat the halved variety in one bite cuz I can't always bite through the skin of the pepper. It's just a nicer eating experience cuz half the time with the halved ones, you end up with all of the pepper in one bite and a tiny blop of cheese in breading for the second half.
I admire your effort to review so much food in one sitting that the sun and moon revolved a few times, while your clothes change themselves a few times too
While I only had Hardee’s before, and I haven’t tried a lot of their menus since there isn’t one near me with the exception of one where my Grandpa lives at. I gotta say that I really love their Famous Star burger. It’s so satisfying that I’d say that it’s my second favorite restaurant burger next to Red Robin’s cheeseburger.
honey wake up, sung-won has suffered again on a real note, i LOVE carls jr, especially the western bacon, aside from maybe the prices, they're def in the top 3 burger joints.
Not a single other fast food chain is as high-variance as Hardee's/Carl's Jr. It's either a pleasant surprise like the one my dad had planned for me or else it's the kind of surprise I actually got down in the gorge that day.
I watched this while hungry which was a terrible idea. The Western Bacon burgers are definitely the main draw for me to head to Carl's Jr. My opinion on the Famous Star is that I'd like it a lot more if the veggies were sliced just a bit thinner -- and I'm someone who LOVES onion slices.
Your reaction to their fries is exactly my reaction when I have them. Surprisingly good. I never think much of them and then suddenly the whole bag is gone.
This was the first video I watched on my brand new Quest 3 headset and I've gotta say, it might've been the best video I could've ever chosen. I love you, ProZD.
Glad to see you enjoying Carl's JR. When I lived in Arizona it was my Big Sadge go-to place. Very greasy and tasty for sad days. Honestly one of my top tier fast food places. Wish they had them around where I live now. Especially after watching this video xD
The moment you pulled out the double western I was like, "awww yeaaa that's my order, a combo along with the Jalapeno poppers." If i'm trying to save a bit of money I get the Big carl with jalapeno poppers. If I have extra money and want to get something to heat up later on, I'll get a chicken bacon ranch. Yea I agree with the chicken sandwiches they either put way too much on it, or a little tiny dot on it. Usually get side orders of ranch dressing.
The spicy chickens used to be 99 cents and when my dad, brother and I were down on our luck and trying to make ends meet, my dad would take us here and get us 2 spicy chickens each for $6 and its one of the most special memories to me
Who remembers when he played in anime crimes division (if you don’t know what that is it’s on Crunchyroll) it’s a really funny show lmao “Do you know what this is it’s a 45 MW .TRG DOMINATOR from Psycho Pass”
Hmm, mine near the house has chill dogs. Unfortunately, they cut the menu items in half, so not a super large selection anymore. The onion rings use to be great because they did dip batter ones with huge onions slices. But that was years ago.
Beyond Meat burgers are an absolute A+ in my book because it not only tastes good, but the lack of grease makes my stomach feel so much better. I still miss the original BK veggie burger tho. It was absolutely delicious, especially if you got it with cheese and onions.
If you get the wester bacon, ask for them to throw an extra onion ring on your burger. Makes a massive difference. Also get the western with swiss. Makes a good mix up
I recently got the jalapeno poppers with a coupon, they were really good but weird compared to normal poppers. They have nacho cheese sauce basically, instead of a cream cheese kinda filling. Its off putting if you arent expecting it, but still really good in a greasy fast food kind of way.
After about the 7th Carl's Jr item the white board grocery list suddenly said "toilet paper". I think I know why he needs more of that.
I too am an avid watcher of the white board - it's like the b-plot
@ConsultingHumor It really is! Also, he's either forgetting to buy gloves, or he hasn't been grocery shopping in a while, assuming these taste tests are spread out. So much to ponder about.
Too funny, I noticed the list but not when it appeared! Laughed when I first saw it too.
It’s a nice healthy palette cleanser.
Why's that?
I can't wait for you to run through every fast food chain. Because then you'll eventually have to do Totinos Pizza Rolls.
"Trying every kind of Tostino's pizza rolls.. all 3 flavors." Lol
@graysoncampbell3459 well there's cheese, pepperoni, sausage, 3 meat, and Buffalo chicken at the very least still not a large number
Relatively few flavors, yes, but he could also try them from the microwave, the oven, and maybe even the stovetop and rate the differences.
Why stop at rolls? Why not Totino’s pizza products? Throw some party pizzas in there
There's also the brand new orange chicken ones.
the character development of the grocery list was truly breathtaking
The toilet paper is a good addition, based on this video alone, LOL.
17:51 when the "B" becomes "Burger" after he says "B for Burger" is really subtle but funny editing - you're appreciated
I'm convinced SungWon's wardrobe is 99% Mario themed t-shirts
and one piece shirts
It looks like mostly things from Fangamer to me
and that one shirt that just says 'Board Games'
We all eat vicariously through Sungwon

Out of all the fast food places ProZD has done, i completely forgot that he had yet to do carls jr.
Now you're making me realize that he hasn't done one of these for Arby's yet.
I forgot it existed. Damn. Now I'm hungry.

@@phillystevesteak6982 nah, bk, a meal at BK literally costs the same as a meal at an actual fucking restaurant now
@mysteryboyee Ya that happened like 10+ years ago. Fast food is not cheaper than dine in restaurants. Oh how times have changed
I’ve only had them a few times, and I’d say they’ve been pretty solid, wish they were closer to me though, guess they aren’t huge in texas .
I remember how broken you looked on stream when you realized the next logical place for you to review was Carl's jr, haha. But I've always loved them and glad to see this was a pleasant experience for you and that you've turned around on them!
The beginning of this video is him finding out he really likes Carls Jr lmao
It feels like one of the last burger places that hasn't been hit hard by shrinkflation
watching the evolution of the grocery list was pretty mesmerizing for some reason
hell yeah dude get those dishwasher pods
You always look like a disapproving grandma in these thumbnails. I love it.
the jalapeno poppers correction to S tier was so clutch, one of my favorite fast food items period
We have exactly one (1) Hardee's here in Pittsburgh. I remember once they were advertising a burger with an entire hot dog cut lengthwise on top of the patty. Always been disappointed in myself that I didn't bear witness to that atrocity first hand
I worked at Hardees years ago, but the chicken tenders and chicken sandwich (not charbroiled) are breaded in store rather than being something they put in the oil. I think it helps the quality a lot.
Sungwon's pure rage at getting the wrong order at 5:44 got me good.
carls jr lowkey slaps. i never see anyone in the drive thru near us and i'm so scared they'll go out of business. Sungwon needs to bring the business back!
Carl’s Jr.’s fries and their most basic fucking burger (I think it’s literally called the Carl or something) is so fire tbh

@@lupegonzalez7719 Good eye
honestly the santa fe sauce is underrated here. Put it on a wester burger or beyond star for its sauce and its amazing
Seeing SungWon in a Mega64 shirt I designed never gets old.
awesome moment. have the beach towel with this design! all the designs you do for mega64 are so dope!!! had to look through comments as soon as I saw the shirt :D
"I like Ranch" .... I liked you already man no reason to play to my heart strings
My favorite character in these videos is the Grocery List. Love seeing how it starts and how it ends. So much character development. Thanks for including it ProZD
You know, I'm digging the vibe of having dancing friends BTS and your manager popping in for a visit. It's really fun.
It amuses me more then it probably should that Jay is still the best assistant/editor he can be. Also, I dunno why this is always so fascinating to watch. Could be a psych/anthropology thing - it's all data baby.
...you probably should have gotten the Toilet Paper on the list BEFORE eating an enormous amount of Carl's Jr.
In my experience, Carl's Jr. has pretty good food, but it's pretty expensive, and there aren't really good options if you want something cheaper or smaller. Good if you want a big burger, but not much variety beyond that. Their milkshakes are really good though.

Every time I think I've heard of every American food chain, I suddenly learn about a new one.
You heard about Krystal?
How about A&W? Long John Silver? Marco's Pizza?
@@mr.cheesytoad5845 Long John Silver is the only one I recognize, but I only learned about that one like a week ago
A&W is Canadian@@mr.cheesytoad5845
bro, you have no idea how many fast food chains we have. It's staggering
How it started: "I don't really care for Carl's Jr"
How it ended: "Carl's Jr is actually my favorite fast food place. They should sponsor me"
Man these are easily some of my fav youtube vids. Always looking forward to more!
Anyone else get some strong Bubble Bass vibes whenever SungWon asked about the pickles while lifting up the sandwich to peak in? Lol
this is so relaxing to watch
I'm glad you did this because the nearest Hardee's is an hour and eight minutes away from me, so I've never had them, but I'm still close enough to see advertisements all over the TV. I've always wondered what their food was actually like.
"I hate Carl's Jr.!" "Unrelated, everything is an A."
Idk if it's the comment you're going for, but that black boo shirt @2:40 does it for you. You look good!
Glad to see you're still one for gastronomic exploration.
Babe wake up, new “Let’s Try [Quantity] Different [Fast Food] Menu Items” just uploaded

I’m the exact opposite lol

I must say, I enjoy watching this series while eating my lunch/ dinner. Very entertaining personality and the food always looks tasty.
it's been one fat minute since you've done a let's try video so i'm glad to see another.
That “one drop of mayo” falling off the bun lmfao.
You didn't try the BREAKFAST BURGER!? LITERALLY THE BEST THING ON THEIR MENU!?
This is so true. Their breakfast burger is amazing and the only thing other than onion rings i look forward to there
he keeps the breakfast menu out, could probably be its own video, or he just doesn't want to kill himself eating them
@46_Pd nope
I'm vegetarian so I don't usually have a lot of an opinion on these videos but Carls Jr does have my favorite fast food veggie burger
Gotta remember the poppers too, on g
usually when he does these I'm either sad or glad this food doesn't exist in the UK. for this I genuinely can't tell if I would eat here or not.
the ultimate B tier experience
I honestly don’t know anyone whose favorite place is Carl’s Jr (Hardee’s here on the East Coast). You just….kind of end up there.
The western bacon is definitely good junk food worth trying in a blue moon.
Yea the western bacon is quality. They have good milkshakes too.
Carl’s Jr. is never really talked about, but for me it’s actually at/just below the tier of McDonald’s, tbh. It’s way better than In n Out, which is way more popular for some reason. Better than Burger King, Wendy’s, Jack in the Box, etc.
Never had Carl's Jr's poppers, but after trying the ones at Getgo gas stations (regional for PA, OH, IN and WV), I became a fan of the chopped jalapeno in cheese goop over the halved jalapeno with cheese goop inside because 90% of the time you need to eat the halved variety in one bite cuz I can't always bite through the skin of the pepper. It's just a nicer eating experience cuz half the time with the halved ones, you end up with all of the pepper in one bite and a tiny blop of cheese in breading for the second half.
I admire your effort to review so much food in one sitting that the sun and moon revolved a few times, while your clothes change themselves a few times too
While I only had Hardee’s before, and I haven’t tried a lot of their menus since there isn’t one near me with the exception of one where my Grandpa lives at. I gotta say that I really love their Famous Star burger. It’s so satisfying that I’d say that it’s my second favorite restaurant burger next to Red Robin’s cheeseburger.
I can watch sungwon eat forever
honey wake up, sung-won has suffered again
on a real note, i LOVE carls jr, especially the western bacon, aside from maybe the prices, they're def in the top 3 burger joints.
Not a single other fast food chain is as high-variance as Hardee's/Carl's Jr. It's either a pleasant surprise like the one my dad had planned for me or else it's the kind of surprise I actually got down in the gorge that day.
transfixed by the shirt theme
Your videos are my lifeblood. Without them I would be nothing.
Hardee's country here. The Frisco burger is still my all time favorite fast food burger
I would dearly love a second camera angle of all of your guests as they watch you try foods. XD
i‘m glad this series made a comeback
I like the idea that the single cheeseburger is a low calorie option of the double cheeseburger.
Thanks for useful and informative video as always 😀
I appreciate your roundup at the end!
I watched this while hungry which was a terrible idea.
The Western Bacon burgers are definitely the main draw for me to head to Carl's Jr. My opinion on the Famous Star is that I'd like it a lot more if the veggies were sliced just a bit thinner -- and I'm someone who LOVES onion slices.
Your reaction to their fries is exactly my reaction when I have them. Surprisingly good. I never think much of them and then suddenly the whole bag is gone.
The shopping list on the fridge is one of my favourite parts of these videos. Always seem to need toilet paper. Makes sense after so much carls jr
The commitment of trying the single and double of each burger is crazy
Sad Carl's Jr. discontinued the teriyaki burger. Was probably the best burger on their menu
You forgot to do their monster bacon burgers. They are an A tier item for sure.
My favorite Carl's Jr menu hack is to get the spicy chicken sandwich:
Sub the Mayo for Santa Fe sauce
Add green chile strip
Add Swiss cheese
I'm sending you toilet paper.
I'd love to see you try fast food sauce comparison, including places that have their own onion ring sauce.
You're supposed to eat the fried zucchini with the Ranch dipping sauce.
I like how with all these fast food reviews we're essentially rating the sandwich making skills of a bunch of teenagers.
This was the first video I watched on my brand new Quest 3 headset and I've gotta say, it might've been the best video I could've ever chosen. I love you, ProZD.
Glad to see you enjoying Carl's JR. When I lived in Arizona it was my Big Sadge go-to place. Very greasy and tasty for sad days. Honestly one of my top tier fast food places. Wish they had them around where I live now. Especially after watching this video xD
Sungwon parenting his friends was amazing haha
The chicken strips are low-key pretty damn good
They really are
Dipping in the honey mustard is essential for them, and brings them to a firm A-tier. Sungwon was unknowingly not unleashing their full power.
I was disappointed in his rating. They are legit well seasoned and crispy.
The moment you pulled out the double western I was like, "awww yeaaa that's my order, a combo along with the Jalapeno poppers." If i'm trying to save a bit of money I get the Big carl with jalapeno poppers. If I have extra money and want to get something to heat up later on, I'll get a chicken bacon ranch. Yea I agree with the chicken sandwiches they either put way too much on it, or a little tiny dot on it. Usually get side orders of ranch dressing.
It was nice to get a round-up in the end :) ( the final notes)
Yessss!!! You're back with more food reviews! Oh man, I love these
these videos make the perfect background audio for programming
The spicy chickens used to be 99 cents and when my dad, brother and I were down on our luck and trying to make ends meet, my dad would take us here and get us 2 spicy chickens each for $6 and its one of the most special memories to me
The food in this video looks delicious at 2 in the morning
There is just something about these videos that is so like chill
love finding out that everyones kind of sleeping on hardys/carls jr (assuming a pleasant B is a pretty good rating for a fast food chain lol)
Who remembers when he played in anime crimes division (if you don’t know what that is it’s on Crunchyroll) it’s a really funny show lmao “Do you know what this is it’s a 45 MW .TRG DOMINATOR from Psycho Pass”
I wish they’d make another one
@@TristanKillinger mhm I agree
Hmm, mine near the house has chill dogs. Unfortunately, they cut the menu items in half, so not a super large selection anymore. The onion rings use to be great because they did dip batter ones with huge onions slices. But that was years ago.
Beyond Meat burgers are an absolute A+ in my book because it not only tastes good, but the lack of grease makes my stomach feel so much better. I still miss the original BK veggie burger tho. It was absolutely delicious, especially if you got it with cheese and onions.
I'm impressed - you sounded depressed about eating this much food at the intro of this video. Normally it takes you 1/3 of the video before you are!
If you get the wester bacon, ask for them to throw an extra onion ring on your burger. Makes a massive difference. Also get the western with swiss. Makes a good mix up
I recently got the jalapeno poppers with a coupon, they were really good but weird compared to normal poppers. They have nacho cheese sauce basically, instead of a cream cheese kinda filling. Its off putting if you arent expecting it, but still really good in a greasy fast food kind of way.
No mushroom 'n' swiss burger? Maybe that's a Midwest thing. We do call it Hardee's here so there might be other differences
That start, you were defeated before the video even began, my absolute most genuine and heartfelt condolences for having to endure this 😂
Truly blessed today, even if it is mostly a million similar burgers. Saw the whole thing.
Wow Carl Jr has a lot of menus, no wonder why he wins every Trackmania tournament
Presentation wise the sandwiches look really nice.
I would love a face off between the top cheeseburgers. Take the best of Carls, Wendy's, Mcdonalds etc.
