  • We ate at American fast food chains for the first time - foods that us Brits have never tried before. We visit McDonald's, Wendy's, Popeye's, Chick-Fil-A and Arby's as we sample burgers, breakfasts and fried chicken in the home of the fast food chain.

      You need British-style beans such as Heinz which come in a tomato sauce. I believe American beans such as Bush's come in a BBQ sauce? I'll have to acquire some American beans some time and do a comparison.

    You definitely need to try the chicken sandwich from Popeyes. It caused an uproar. It was so popular they were constantly running out of inventory. It was several months before I tried it, and I then understood the hysteria 😁

    • @TravelSoGood
      @TravelSoGood  11 місяців тому +2

      Thanks for the tip! Popeyes now have a few locations in the UK and I've now tried the chicken sandwich here, and honestly it's not great. I wonder if they're using a different recipe here or something because it's not worth the hype I've seen... We'll have to try the US version next time we're there.

      @@TravelSoGood it could very well be different. I’m sure it’s not cost effective to send the supplies from here to there. I’m guessing they have a contractor/supplier over there that probably does thing a little different than here. Most likely out of necessity I’d guess. Might not be able to get the necessary ingredients to make them identical

If you ever come to the Denver area I will make you the best bbq food you have ever had. If you don't like bbq then I will make you anything better than any fast food place. Yes, fast food has their signature tastes but homemade ANYTHING is better. Love this video, you two are awesome together 🙂You tell me what you desire and I will make it.

    That's one thing unique to today workforce. When I was you (before retirement) I think a fast food place only got my order wrong once in 40 years. Today it is at least 50% of the time. I guess the younger generations don't care to do a good job or are just not intelligent enough to read items from a computer screen and put them in a bag.
