Any meat that is placed between two burger buns is called a burger in Australia, so if it’s chicken we would call it a chicken burger not a chicken sandwich, if you come to Australia asking for a sandwich. We would all assume your asking for meat placed between two slices of bread
A big difference in Aussie fast food is our produce. We have food from all over the world, but made with locally grown primo ingredients. This elevates everything to a new level, as our food quality standards are so high.
@@davebirch1976 The UK *_thinks_* it has higher standards but you only have to cross The Trench to mainland Europe to see that that notion is mainly self deceit. Even that old English standard, Fish and Chips is pretty rubbish in Britain. Australia does a much better, far less greasy version. Britain is far more American in its food tastes and standards than it wants to admit. Many Poms think Nando's and Starbucks are actually good. If they're not eating those they are eating very average curries. Not to say there are not some excellent places to eat in London, it is just they are not typical English fare.
@@WayneCook306 not really. Sure chicken is the most common but as the guy in the video says, they also come in beef and pork so it's not like you can only get chicken schnitzels
I'm a Chef in Melbourne. When I moved here I got fat, quick. If you can think of a random cuisine from a far flung corner of the globe. You could probably find it!🇭🇲🤘🧑🍳🐖🤤
One of the best things about Australia being multicultural is that ppl bring their food over with them. There’s such a diversity in food even in regional towns like mine. For example, where I live we have multiple Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Greek, Mexican, African and Italian restaurants. It’s great 😂
Except more difficult if looking for different European fod now eg German, Polish, Russian. Also I never drank Starbucks coffee but like Medium.roast Brazilian or Columbian coffee that used to be able to buy in coffee like serve in western Europe Eastern Europe. Eg Melitta beans.All express a d Arabjc - too dark an dstring for me.Can no longer buy tea at Cafe ie traditional black tea ie Yorkshire or Barry's or even Bushels or Nerada tea.All herbal and the Barristas don't learn how to make proper tea anymore ie tastes like dishwasher water.So order a chocolate milkshake.Used to be a great Sri lankan Restaurant in Melbourne called Ceylon.Beautiful tea and sandwiches in the day and lovely authentic currt in evening. Not there any more. Good Restaurant I. MELBOURNE called Copals. Vegetarian curry and rice dish, natural home made drinks( very refreshing) and dessert for $15.Run by Hare Krishna.Clean, good nice and healthy food cheap.Usually quite a lot of people there.Downside have to walk up large flight of stairs.Near corner Swanston and Collins Streets.2 tram stops not far walking from Flinders Street railway station If want a good place fish and chips nice in Australia. In Ballarat Victoria we have a shop that sells fresh fish.( they go to Melbourne fish market about 3 times a week). Can buy fresh fish and seafood to cook at home or choice your fish a d will. Cool fresh with lovely chips whilst you wait.We buy snapper or flake( gummy shark).Delicious. GOrs nice at home with a fresh green ( French ).salad.
When I get noodle box or wok in the box I only get small. It is very deceiving but if you pour it into a bowl it is larger than you think and very filling. I usually get the Nasi Goreng which is named after the emperor who built the Great Wall of China to keep the rabbits out. 😂
True that, the first time I went it was with a mate. He got the small and I'm like I'll take the large . He warned against going large as it may look small but it's the TARDIS.
Hahaha. We need to teach him a few things. He needs to stay here for a good few weeks to learn some of our multicultural cuisines. Australia... the amalgamation of fine cultural, culinary experience. The mixture of the world in one refined experience.
I had this issue when I was in the States. I asked for a Big Mac “just the burger” (not the meal)... “oh you mean just the sandwich?” 😕 (the burger for them is the beef patty!)
@@adrianfeeger I always though a roll was those long buns, rather than the round ones. But the "roll" the woman was trying at the end was a round bun. 🤔
@@ryant2568 They are the only chain that uses it but I think most traditional pizza places use it like anywhere that does wood fire pizza. I’m in suburban Sydney and a couple of restaurants and pubs near me use it, it’s delicious!
Grill’d is great and we eat there regularly. We are an allergy family and they’re one of the few fast food chains we’ve found where staff are really knowledgeable about what’s in their products and don’t screw up the order. Plus, they have dairy free options, which should be more common given the prevalence of people wanting it. For Asian fast food. I prefer wok’d, which wasn’t mentioned. Absolutely delicious and extremely generous portions. I could just about drink their sauces straight out of the bowls.
We tend to call thin fries, like you get at McDonald's, fries. Thicker ones we call chips. These are definitely some of the better chains in Australia, but the couple are overdoing it when they say that this food is some of the best versions of the stuff you can get in Australia. There are much better local, smaller spots to go to, but these chains are good default options if you need something fast and convenient.
Agreed! IMO there are fries (like maccas), chips (mostly anything thicker than fries) and also thick cut chips (similar to schnitz but also thicker) This way we know what style of chip we are getting.
A "pot and parma" is pretty standard food at most places in Australia. Melbourne particularly has had a good chunk of german, italian, greek, vietnamese, chinese, indonesian etc etc people migrating, so our food is a very large mix of different cultures. In other words, just awesome.
@@ThatguyPurps you wanna eat chicken gina, thats your business I suppose (no kink shaming here). A parma is just how people here say it. Pot is half a pint.
@Bob Star I know what a pot is.. I also know that Parma is ham and nothing to do with a Parmigiana. Don't know why your bringing in Gina, what did she do 🤣 I'll have a Parmi any day though. I can't help that you say the wrong thing, that's on you.
The thing about places like Noodle Box and Wok in a Box is that everything is fresh in front of you and prepared right there in front of you. Think about the counter at Subway, this is how they have their ingredients in the store and when you order the staff selects the ingredients from right in front of you to put in the wok where they literally cook it right in front of you, the exact same fresh ingredients that you can see for yourself the quality. That's what makes these places really stand out from the McDonald's and KFCs when it comes to fast food

You believe that cooked down axle grease makes a good breakfast spread - you've squeezed it through Vita Wheats to make little Vegemite worms. You believe all famous Kiwis are actually Australian, until they stuff up,at which point they again become Kiwis. Beetroot with your Hamburger... of course! You know that certain words must, by law, be shouted out during any rendition of the Angels' song 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' And 'Living next door to Alice'.

Schnitzel is very common and popular here in OZ. Every pub has it on their menus and can also buy from Fish and Chip shops. They come in beef or chicken, the close cousin is the Parmigiana, which is basically pizza on a schnitzel
The Chinese shared arriving to Australia in the 1850’s chasing the gold and then stayed. Our Chinese restaurants are defined by the region , so it’s Cantonese, Hong Kong or schezuan to name a few.🐨
The schnitzel is a German or Austrian in origin but Aussies have definitely embraced them. You walk into an Aussie pub, sit at the bar, order a ‘schooner and a schnitty please’ for lunch. Lol
I read an article some years ago that addressed the buns used in many fast food hamburger outlets. It said that they are deliberately made to be insubstantial and virtually melting as they are consumed. This is to make them less filling, hence the orders of several at a time or bulk made up with orders of side dishes. The old style burgers in Oz and here in NZ are much more filling and only one needs to be purchased.
Margarita must be red white and green after the flag of Italy. So you must have all three colours, which is why there must be tomato, white cheese (usually mozzarella) and basil. Additional cheese and ingredients are allowed but frowned on by purists. This is an expensive pizza but meets all the criteria with very high quality ingredients. You could buy a Dominos pizza for 1/3 the price (and flavour)
Yes schnitzel is German or Austrian or really common dish from that area of the world but it’s extremely popular in Australia - the schnitty! Most often served topped with a tomato & herb sauce and melted grilled cheese on top. Parmigiana - it’s actually an Italian dish but now as Aussie as it gets- the only argument is is it a Parma or a Parmi!! & Schnitz chips are the bomb so good
@TarshnotTrash !! Parma is a type of ham... has nothing to do with a Parmigiana. There's no debate. Parmi is correct. Parma is ham and no one wants a chicken ham
We are so spoilt for choice in Sydney when it comes to Asian food ( Korean, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Indian & Thai). Japanese is huge here at the moment. New Japanese restaurants opening up everywhere
New Japanese restaurants - usually run by Koreans! The only group that immigrates to another country and opens restaurants from another culture's cuisine... (apart from Indians, who just buy any franchise going).
@@neumanmachine3781 A lot of sushi places are run by Koreans because Korean food wasn't known that well in Australia until recent years. I have noticed that more Japanese restaurants are actually run by Japanese people as Korean has become more popular.
The wiener schnitzel originated in Austria. Usually pounded chicken or veal. Then dipped in flour, egg mix breadcrumb & then pan fried in oil. Pretty much a staple in Australia. Thai food would be the most popular Asian food though I've eaten Tibetan, Malaysian, Vietnamese and Korean is on the rise. We also have lots of middle eastern chicken, tabouli & chips fast food cooked butterfly style like Portuguese chicken.
My favourite growing up in Oz was wiener schnitzel but with the crumbed veal and squeezed lemon wedge over the top 😋. You tend to get chicken or crumbed steak nowadays. Actually I might make some original veal schnitzels, hammer the meat out and make home made breadcrumbs yum... if I can get my hands on some veal lol I haven't had it in years 🤔😋😁😊
Actually am authentication Viennese schnitzel is very large and round in shape.Veal Dipped in egg, then lemon juice and bread crumbs ( Panko bread crumbs are the best.Served with a slice of lemon to squeeze into schnitzel like we do with fish.Usuakly served with small potatoes ( steaked) then placed in butter and chopped fine parsley. Sometimes setve with chips or Pomm Fritz as they say in German speaking country.Check out Noodle box and Kebabs or Donner.
those noodle boxes are so packed in - will easily fill a normal dinner plate. you mentioned that a lot of these look good enough to be in a restaurant - because most of them are - most of our restaurants will do delivery (especially since covid)
Ryan, the reason our fast food is healthier is because Aussies are health conscious and insist on avoiding excess fat and grease, going for fresh produce wherever possibles. I keep hearing how bad Domino’s is in the US, but in Australia, Domino’s is very different, they revamped their menu a couple of decades ago, to cater to Aussie tastes. Buffalo mozzarella is used on pizzas in Italy and because we’ve learned from Italian migrants how to upgrade our Italian foods, we use buffalo mozzarella too and fresh toppings whenever possible.
Remember the deep fried mars bar phase 10 years ago? That was a pretty unique Aussie thing we had going for a while, idk if U can still get em these days?
Zambreros are the fast food Burrito place to go to in Adelaide, I haven't personally heard of the other place so I can't comment on them. There are also a lot of really good fast food Pizza joints around the place in AU
We have noodle shops where you choose the fresh items you want and they cook it for you in the sauce of your choice. Buffalo cheese is mozzarella made from buffalo milk. It's the best quality cheese for pizza. It's what they use in Italy. A pizza restaurant in Melbourne Australia makes the world's best pizza. The chef won the world's best pizza competition in Italy competing against over 600 chefs from around the world. Only uses the best quality ingredients. We had a Dominos in our town but they didn't last against our local pizza restaurant even though they were double the price of Dominos. You can get schnitzels at any pub in Australia and it's cheap.
The zucchini chips from Grill'd have a super thin layer of breadcrumbs. Yeah they're deep fried but most of the time when you get them the fried crumb layer falls off anyway 😅 makes them much healthier than potato chips
@Jimeny Cricket my theory is that the fried-ness does not change; it's still unhealthy. But nutritionally, zucchini is superior to potato. I actually think any fried vegetable is nutritionally more valuable than potato. Doesn't stop me loving potato, though.
Our fast food is really expensive compared to US prices. The food itself is fantastic and the servings are huge. Buffalo mozzarella is amazingly creamy. Fried chicken breast with tomato and melted cheese, a schnitzel is SOOO Australian.
Chicken Snitzel (we call it a SNITTY) is a must have for a pub feed....or a T-bone with chips and salad. We love Snitty's, they are sold at supermarkets to cook at home, at pubs with chips and salad, at restaurants, at clubs where you go to have a feed. Aussie's love a snitty
Yeah crispy pork belly banh mi is a fave of mine. I think they didn’t mention it because they aren’t chains. It’s individual shops. But a list of takeaway favourites in Australia would be good. Like Fish n chips, chicken parmi, banh mi, etc just sort of staples of takeaway cuisine
Hi Ryan, we do have great take away food, perhaps because we are often out doors. A (chicken) schnitty and chips is a staple pub food in Australia. You can get a great meal at pubs and clubs for reasonable prices, especially on their specials days - schnitty day, roast day, burger day, etc.
We also have fish and chip shops. Various types of fish in tasty batter, either grilled or fried with delicious chips. They also sell fried dim Sims, scallops and potato cakes (slice of potato in batter which the Northern states call potato scallops)
Grilled is a very local Melbourne thing being plugged. Most people get a good burger from a fish+chip shop, or even a good petrol station. Btw, it's schnitzel, not shnitz.
Here in Adelaide, we also have a few schnitzel restaurants called Schnithouse (a play on the word sh*thouse!) 😄 The food is far from sh*thouse, though!
Our generic term for any type of hot potato chip is just 'chips', pure and simple. But if we want to be specific about it, we'll call a skinny-cut chip 'French fries' or 'shoestring fries' (or just 'fries'). A chunky, fat-cut chip will be called 'steak chips'. The normal, in-between cut is just 'chips' - or 'chippies' if you're being really causal. And then there's packet potato crisps, which we call (wait for it) chips!
@@bencodykirk yeah true to a degree, eg I would often expect them to still have their skin on( or at the least the best ones do), but I think the American’s still call them fries
We generally call buns rolls unless they are more like patisserie (sweet) like a cinnamon bun. When we fill it, we still call it a roll, not a sandwich. A sandwich is only when two slices from a loaf of bread are combined. A roll remains a roll whether it has a filling or not.
At grilled you can change the bun for whatever your preference they have about 5 different buns and instore they give you a token to put in a local charity box
An average meal at Maccas can easily cost $15-$20, so the prices from the smaller fast food chains are on par with the big ones for price, and they are usually way better! ❤
You'll find most of these ones they reviewed at pretty much any big city suburban food court (especially Westfields) and inner city high streets, along with the usual American suspects - Subway is extremely popular in Australia. Most of these options are at the more expensive end of fast food in Australia, there are also heaps of Kebab shops (the Halal snack pack is something of an Aussie institution- Chips with chicken salt covered by layers of cheese, kebab meat, sauce and more cheese). Bakeries are a typical traditional fast food that sell meat pies and sausage rolls and also do sandwiches, although Vietnamese migrants in the big cities have taken over a lot of bakeries which adds the Banh Mi (Vietnamese pork baguette) which is a real staple. The other traditional take away option is the fish and chip shop - originally modelled on the British version but now definitely Australian - they also make Australian style hamburgers (Beef Rissole flattened into a patty, with grilled onion, lettuce, tomato, onion, beetroot, fried egg, bacon and sometimes grated carrot and fresh cucumber and of course Aussie BBQ sauce). Bakeries and Fish and Chip Shops tend to be family owned small businesses rather than chains, as are most Asian takeaway food places and there are a lot of Italian/pizza and Indian places that are independent as well. Portuguese and Korean fried chicken chains are becoming more popular too such as Oporto, Frangos, Ogalo and O'Chicken (Korean) as well as the Korean chicken and beer bars.
I love Oporto. There’s also a Korean chicken place near me that’s excellent. As well as those there are a few American style places that do fried chicken burgers. One I had that was really good was buttermilk fried chicken with sriracha mayo and a milk bun.
Wiener schnitzel is a popular Viennese dish made of veal and traditionally garnished with a slice of lemon and either potato salad or potatoes with parsley and butter. In Austria and Germany, Wiener Schnitzel must be made of veal. When other meats are used, it can be called Wiener Schnitzel vom Schwein/Pute/Huhn ("Viennese schnitzel of pig/turkey/chicken") or Schnitzel (nach) Wiener Art ("Schnitzel Viennese style"). Wikipedia.
The local suburban takeaway or what we used to call a milkbar often make the best burgers. Where I live in Sydney's southwest, we have really good pizza, Thai, Indian, Chinese, charcoal/BBQ chicken, Vietnamese, burgers, Fish and chips and kebabs we also have clubs like RSL Clubs that make good meals plus if you want Maccas, pizza hut, dominos, Hungry Jacks, KFC or Subway they are never far away. Personally, I like the local privately owned stores. Once you get to know who does the best, it's difficult to go back to the big chains It's amazing that I don't weigh 250kg, but I only have takeaway once or twice a month, sadly ☹️😭☹️
Most of those are local to a certain parts of Australia 🇦🇺 We don't have many of those here more mum and dad one's Schnitzel or Schnitzy are very common pub meals and restaurants Also most Pizza bars sell the as take away as well as paste meals Schnitzel is German at some time but like all food Aussie's put their own spin on them Parmalat which he was eating crumbed deep fried paste sauce like on pizza and cheese spread on top and grilled to melt all together or if you asked for Hawaiian you get pineapple on top grilled with the sauce and cheese A standard Schnitzel is just crumbed with either plane or mushroom gravey and the crumbs can have any herbs or lemon zest in it Used to give you a cheek of lemon but no one seems to do now as expensive to buy like a $1 minimum to buy one lemon from shops Cheers mate hope little one nkt keeping you guy up to much🦘🇦🇺👍
Schnitzels are a cultural icon in Australia, you will find it in every pub and chicken&chip shop. It is so universally loved in Australia we use it as a standard for the quality of pub food, if a pub can't do a decent schnitty, they're not a pub worth going to.
Yep, Chicken Schnitzels (especially Parmijiana or Parmi) definitely one of the most popular Australian eat out dishes. Just about every pub & club will have these. Being a performing musician on the south coast of NSW, I try them in all the venues I play in to compare but a really popular & affordable feed here down under. Great video again Ryan., love your stuff mate!
When you are next in Sydney try a place called Mary's in Newtown. It's on the list of top burgers in the country every year and it is an out-of-body experience. terrible atmosphere (it's a loud, dirty pub) but the burgers.....
Where are you referring to? I can only think of Cafe 508 or Brookton Burgers, next to Zia's? I guess we're pretty spoit for choice on that short stretch of the highway between kelmscott and roley.
I love Schnitz, always cooked to perfection, I love the plain schnitz with lettuce and mayo on a burger bun and the seasoning on the side of chips is to die for ❤
Just about every suburb has Thai food which is super good. Buffalo cheese 🐃 uses actual Buffalo&when in Italy 🇮🇹 recently my cousin was surprised I knew but we are so so multi cultural Pub food has chicken snitzel as go to.We are definitely foodies in Oz
Grill’d is great. I like it, have it every week and you can get beer (might depend on state). Not cheap though. Burger, chips and beer is ~$28. Add nuggets and I paid $33 last week.
The best part about growing up in Australia is having mates from all different cultures. I was lucky enough to grate mates from Japan, India, Greek and Kiwie's And some of the home cooked meals were amazing. Grilled is a bit over priced I don't rate it, but Gyzmenz Burritos are so good! Nothing beats a meat pie and coke, or a Pork Bhmi ( Vietnamese pork roll ) No fast food chain needed just a beautiful Bakery.
Schnitzel is originally German but been in Australia so long it’s very common here. Mostly at pubs. Also referred to as “parmie” or “Parma” depending on where u from. Its such a common thing that during covid lockdowns people couldn’t wait to go to pub for a parmie. Look up - Illy (hip hop)song “Parma in June” Also Hilltop hoods wrote a covid song “I’m good” (no schnitzel reference in it but still worth a listen .
Schnitzel is a staple given to us from our multiC shared love of each other's food, Thanks Germany!. It is the go to in every pub menu. When you not sure what to order it's the schnitzel. You just change the topping and sides for variation. So comes with Greek salad and chips or vegetables,,,,,your choice. Topping : Parmigiana, Hawaiian, Diane (sweet) or mushroom gravy. There is a vegan option if that's your preference they can schnitzel an egg plant but not all pubs have this option.
I thought everyone had heard of Schnitzel. Yes it's from Germany and is basically meat coated in breadcrumbs. I've never heard crumbed fish called a schnitzel, though. I've never heard of the food chain Schnitz, though and I've never heard of the 'Grill'd' chain either but I looked them up and there are several 'Schnitz' in Victoria and even in Dandenong where I live. There are a few 'Grill'd' towards the northern suburbs of Victoria but the closest to me is in Heatherton, down Heatherton Road to Warrigal Road. I don't get out much anymore, so I'm surprised but I'm not up with the new fast food. I vaguely remember the hotel/motel restaurant near me had Schnits meals in their restaurant lounge for a while instead of a regular restaurant with a chef. Chicken parmesan, or chicken parmigiana, is a dish that consists of breaded chicken breast covered in tomato sauce and mozzarella, parmesan or provolone cheese. A quantity of ham or bacon is sometimes added. Surprisingly, although the dish is Italian, it originated in the Italian district of the United States during the early 20th century.
Hi wazzer! 😉 Happy ARVO! 😁👍 Foods, I do home cooked mostly! ☺️ Fast food was just take away coffee during Covid, we would have all starved unless we learned to cook! 😒 Multicultural Melbourne! 👍 That Burger is freshly cooked! 😯😋 I'm hungry now! 😪 Guzman y Gomez, yes great, $3 taco! 🤩 Noodles - are everywhere here - eat in, takeaway, market stalls, lots of ingredients! ☺️ Pizza - on every corner, wood fired, gluten free, vegetarian, thin/thick, lots of options! 🤗 Buffalo cheese, white lumps, is traditional! 👍 Duck - is very fatty, eat with caution! 🤭 Snitz - chicken breast schnitzel, very popular food! 😄 (Traditionally veal in Europe!) 😊 Your buns are full of sugar! 😏 Chips/fries! 😉 Fast food, need some now! 😂🤔👍
Some fast food restaurants are also liquor licensed venues but I’ve always noticed they’re NOT priced competitively, and I wouldn’t be surprised if thats on purpose so you wont buy 20 beers there you would buy one then go to a pub
Guzman y Gomez is in a whole other league compared to Taco Bell (which is actually gross here, not sure if it's also gross in the US). They use all fresh and high quality ingredients. I've been to authentic Mexican restaurants in Australia and GYG is even better then those. It's basically as good as making Old El Paso at home except it's a fast food option. I love a Cali Burrito with chicken, absolute GOAT.
I'd have to say at least 99 out of 100 pubs that have a bistro will do a Chicken Snitty & you can have your choice of chips & salad, or vegetables, with or without gravy on the side (in a small stainless steel cup)
Ryan, schnitzel mayhave originated in or around Germany but a chicken Parma (parmi in NSW) is the most common pub meal in Aust…together with a steak of course. A chicken Parma is a crumbled chicken breast deep fried with ham, tomato sauce (similar to pizza tomato sauce), and cheese added after the deep fry and melted under a grill.
With the price, you also have to remember we don't have to tip because we pay workers properly. I was a manager at Crust Pizza and the dough is made in house, semolina used when rolling it out, the ham is leg ham sliced in store etc and its buffolo mozzarella, similar to boccocini... I worked as a chef before Managing the Crust and the food quality is as good as the kitchens I'd worked in. A beef schnitzel is what you Americans call a "chicken fried steak" So I guess this is a chicken fried chicken?? 🤣 But yes they are of German and Austrian culture. A Chicken Parmi (not a parma) is schnitzel with napoli (marinana) sauce topped with cheese and grilled until melted. It comes from the traditional Eggplant Parmigiana from Italy. So your right "is it German, is it italian"
Most people in Australia call fries “chips”- we also call the ones in bags chips- so if we want to be specific- we will call fries “hot chips” The use of the word “fries” is becoming more common, but yeah- mostly we call them chips!🤷♀️👍🏻
Australia never heard of french fries until McDonald’s arrived in Australia, or thereabouts. Before that, chips were always the thickness of your finger, because we cut the potatoes ourselves.
Long before anybody had heard of the internet it was solely used by academics like me. The internet has written standards that govern how domain names are to be formatted and many other things. All these documents are located on the internet and can be easily found if you search but they are very dry technical reading.
French fries are bought here too. If you go to a freezer in a supermarket and see the range, there could be ordinary straight cut chips, or crinkle cut chips, or beer batter chips, or ... whatever. You can also buy FRENCH FRIES. They are chips that are smaller (very small).
Any meat that is placed between two burger buns is called a burger in Australia, so if it’s chicken we would call it a chicken burger not a chicken sandwich, if you come to Australia asking for a sandwich. We would all assume your asking for meat placed between two slices of bread
Most bakery's sell ham, chicken or sometimes turkey salad rolls so I would say burgers have hot meat n rolls have cold meats
What is a hot chicken roll?
@@michaeldudgeon Most bakery's sell hot chicken roll
Snitty roll etc etc
@@MrThomas864 it's about the bread type used.
A schnitty sandwich in bread is a sandwich. A schnitty in a burger bun is a burger.
Yes it’s AUD, plus it’s also the FINAL PRICE. You don’t get taxes and tips added on at the end. You pay the advertised price.

Chicken schnitzels are probably one of the most liked takeaway meals across Australia
Only if you like chicken.
Pretty good with a beer in the pub too
Never got a Parmy or schnitzel takeaway in my life. Chicken is overrated
@@WayneCook306 not really. Sure chicken is the most common but as the guy in the video says, they also come in beef and pork so it's not like you can only get chicken schnitzels
A chicken schnitzel is basically a large fancy chicken tender.

Not only from a lot of countries, but different regions within them. We are spoilt for choice here. 😁
yes Im in Prahran in Melb I have at least 40 different cuisines available within about 400m of my apartment. and all excellent
@@Eskay1206 We are so lucky here in Melbourne. 😁
Oh C'mon Kev... Give your restaurant a plug. I'm always looking for places to go.
Sound like you found some good food 👍🏼
You know what they say "never trust a skinny chef" 🤣
One of the best things about Australia being multicultural is that ppl bring their food over with them. There’s such a diversity in food even in regional towns like mine. For example, where I live we have multiple Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Greek, Mexican, African and Italian restaurants. It’s great 😂
Except more difficult if looking for different European fod now eg German, Polish, Russian. Also I never drank Starbucks coffee but like Medium.roast Brazilian or Columbian coffee that used to be able to buy in coffee like serve in western Europe Eastern Europe. Eg Melitta beans.All express a d Arabjc - too dark an dstring for me.Can no longer buy tea at Cafe ie traditional black tea ie Yorkshire or Barry's or even Bushels or Nerada tea.All herbal and the Barristas don't learn how to make proper tea anymore ie tastes like dishwasher water.So order a chocolate milkshake.Used to be a great Sri lankan Restaurant in Melbourne called Ceylon.Beautiful tea and sandwiches in the day and lovely authentic currt in evening. Not there any more. Good Restaurant I. MELBOURNE called Copals. Vegetarian curry and rice dish, natural home made drinks( very refreshing) and dessert for $15.Run by Hare Krishna.Clean, good nice and healthy food cheap.Usually quite a lot of people there.Downside have to walk up large flight of stairs.Near corner Swanston and Collins Streets.2 tram stops not far walking from Flinders Street railway station If want a good place fish and chips nice in Australia. In Ballarat Victoria we have a shop that sells fresh fish.( they go to Melbourne fish market about 3 times a week). Can buy fresh fish and seafood to cook at home or choice your fish a d will. Cool fresh with lovely chips whilst you wait.We buy snapper or flake( gummy shark).Delicious. GOrs nice at home with a fresh green ( French ).salad.
Chicken schnitzel is available in nearly every restaurant club and pub bistros, plain is good with gravy
Fish and chip shops and Pizza places also do a chicken schnit
Perth cannot do it right.
When I get noodle box or wok in the box I only get small. It is very deceiving but if you pour it into a bowl it is larger than you think and very filling. I usually get the Nasi Goreng which is named after the emperor who built the Great Wall of China to keep the rabbits out. 😂
😂 Love that Emperor
True that, the first time I went it was with a mate. He got the small and I'm like I'll take the large . He warned against going large as it may look small but it's the TARDIS.
Good one Warwick !!
What are you talking about? ‘Nasi’ literally means rice and ‘goreng’ means fried - it’s fried rice but from Malaysia.
😂😂😂
Ryan, how dare you call it a sandwich.. its a burger mate. 😅
Hahaha. We need to teach him a few things. He needs to stay here for a good few weeks to learn some of our multicultural cuisines. Australia... the amalgamation of fine cultural, culinary experience. The mixture of the world in one refined experience.
I had this issue when I was in the States. I asked for a Big Mac “just the burger” (not the meal)... “oh you mean just the sandwich?” 😕 (the burger for them is the beef patty!)
In Australia, a “sandwich” is made using bread that is sliced. Anything made with bread rolls or buns can be called a “burger”.
@@TMwtf unless it's called a roll lmao... ie Salad roll, chicken and salad roll, ham and cheese roll... shall I keep rolling?
@@adrianfeeger I always though a roll was those long buns, rather than the round ones. But the "roll" the woman was trying at the end was a round bun. 🤔
Traditional Italian mozzarella is usually made with water buffalo milk. It is called Buffalo mozzarella.
👏👏
Crust is the only pizza place I have ever seen that uses proper Buffalo mozzarella.
@@ryant2568 They are the only chain that uses it but I think most traditional pizza places use it like anywhere that does wood fire pizza. I’m in suburban Sydney and a couple of restaurants and pubs near me use it, it’s delicious!
Grill’d is great and we eat there regularly. We are an allergy family and they’re one of the few fast food chains we’ve found where staff are really knowledgeable about what’s in their products and don’t screw up the order. Plus, they have dairy free options, which should be more common given the prevalence of people wanting it. For Asian fast food. I prefer wok’d, which wasn’t mentioned. Absolutely delicious and extremely generous portions. I could just about drink their sauces straight out of the bowls.
We tend to call thin fries, like you get at McDonald's, fries. Thicker ones we call chips.
These are definitely some of the better chains in Australia, but the couple are overdoing it when they say that this food is some of the best versions of the stuff you can get in Australia. There are much better local, smaller spots to go to, but these chains are good default options if you need something fast and convenient.
Thin or thick they are all chips,,,,,, NOT fries
Agree - for fast food those options are pretty good - maybe best. But you can do a lot better from places that are not "fast food" joints.
@@aussiebornandbred The ones cut via the frenching technique (long and thin) are french fries - everything else are chips.
Yes well said Paul K.
Agreed! IMO there are fries (like maccas), chips (mostly anything thicker than fries) and also thick cut chips (similar to schnitz but also thicker)
This way we know what style of chip we are getting.
A "pot and parma" is pretty standard food at most places in Australia. Melbourne particularly has had a good chunk of german, italian, greek, vietnamese, chinese, indonesian etc etc people migrating, so our food is a very large mix of different cultures. In other words, just awesome.
Well a Pint and Parmi is quite popular... how you get parma from Parmigiana baffles me. I'd accept chicken giana before I'll accept chicken parma 🤣
@@ThatguyPurps you wanna eat chicken gina, thats your business I suppose (no kink shaming here). A parma is just how people here say it. Pot is half a pint.
In Qld we call it a Parmi
@Bob Star I know what a pot is.. I also know that Parma is ham and nothing to do with a Parmigiana. Don't know why your bringing in Gina, what did she do 🤣 I'll have a Parmi any day though. I can't help that you say the wrong thing, that's on you.
@@ThatguyPurps So does Darren, Garry, Sharron, and Barry become Dazzi Gazzi Shazzi and Bazzi where you are?
The thing about places like Noodle Box and Wok in a Box is that everything is fresh in front of you and prepared right there in front of you. Think about the counter at Subway, this is how they have their ingredients in the store and when you order the staff selects the ingredients from right in front of you to put in the wok where they literally cook it right in front of you, the exact same fresh ingredients that you can see for yourself the quality. That's what makes these places really stand out from the McDonald's and KFCs when it comes to fast food
Went to my first noodle box a week ago and spent $14 for a box of rice never again.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE AUSTRALIAN WHEN: You believe that stubbies can either be drunk or worn. You've made a bong out of your garden hose rather than use it for something illegal such as watering the garden. You understand that the phrase 'a group of women wearing black thongs' refers to footwear and may be less alluring than... it sounds. You pronounce Melbourne as 'Mel-bin'. You believe the 'l' in the word 'Australia' is optional. You can translate: 'Dazza and Shazza played Acca Dacca on the way to Maccas'. You call your best friend 'a total bastard' but someone you really, truly despise is just 'a bit of a bastard'. You think 'Woolloomooloo' is a perfectly reasonable name for a place. You're secretly proud of our killer wildlife. You believe it makes sense for a country to have a $1 coin that's twice as big as its $2 coin. You understand that 'Wagga Wagga' can be abbreviated to 'Wagga' but 'Woy Woy' can't be called 'Woy'. You believe that cooked down axle grease makes a good breakfast spread - you've squeezed it through Vita Wheats to make little Vegemite worms. You believe all famous Kiwis are actually Australian, until they stuff up,at which point they again become Kiwis. Beetroot with your Hamburger... of course! You know that certain words must, by law, be shouted out during any rendition of the Angels' song 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' And 'Living next door to Alice'. You wear ugg boots outside the house. You believe that every important discovery in the world was made by an Australian but then sold off for a pittance. You believe that the more you shorten someone's name the more you like them. Whatever your linguistic skills, you find yourself able to order takeaway fluently in every Asian language. You understand that 'excuse me' can sound rude, While 'scuse me' is always polite. You know what it's like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose. You know it's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle and a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron. Your biggest family argument over the summer concerned the rules for beach cricket. You shake your head in horror when companies try to market what they call 'Anzac Cookies'. You still think of Kylie as 'that girl off Neighbours'. When working in a bar, you understand male customers will feel the need to offer an excuse whenever they order low-alcohol beer. You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in "o": arvo, combo, garbo, kero, lezzo, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto, goodo etc... You know that there is a universal place called 'woop woop' located in the middle of nowhere, no matter where you actually are! You know that none of us actually drink Fosters beer, because it tastes like piss. You sleep with Aeroguard on in the summer and don't mind it as a perfume. You've only ever used the words - tops, ripper, sick, mad, sweet, to mean "good" and when you place 'bloody' in front of it then you really mean it. You know that the barbecue is a political arena. You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not. You understand what no wucking furries means. You've drank your tea/coffee/milo through a Tim Tam. You own a Bond's chesty - in several different colors. You know that some people pronounce Australia like "Straya" and that's ok.

For you Ryan
The classic Margherita pizza as made for Queen Margherita of Savoy in Naples in 1889 had tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil leaves, and olive oil.
That's exactly where the recipe for the Crust pizza was derived from 🙂
Schnitzel is very common and popular here in OZ. Every pub has it on their menus and can also buy from Fish and Chip shops. They come in beef or chicken, the close cousin is the Parmigiana, which is basically pizza on a schnitzel
The Chinese shared arriving to Australia in the 1850’s chasing the gold and then stayed. Our Chinese restaurants are defined by the region , so it’s Cantonese, Hong Kong or schezuan to name a few.🐨
The schnitzel is a German or Austrian in origin but Aussies have definitely embraced them. You walk into an Aussie pub, sit at the bar, order a ‘schooner and a schnitty please’ for lunch. Lol
I read an article some years ago that addressed the buns used in many fast food hamburger outlets. It said that they are deliberately made to be insubstantial and virtually melting as they are consumed. This is to make them less filling, hence the orders of several at a time or bulk made up with orders of side dishes. The old style burgers in Oz and here in NZ are much more filling and only one needs to be purchased.
Soo many great places to eat in Australia and the suburbs and small towns don't miss out, its not just a city thing.
14:40 Parmi and chips is a staple of all pub (bar) meals. In Australia, the citizens of every city know which is the best parmi in their town.
Margarita must be red white and green after the flag of Italy. So you must have all three colours, which is why there must be tomato, white cheese (usually mozzarella) and basil.
Additional cheese and ingredients are allowed but frowned on by purists.
This is an expensive pizza but meets all the criteria with very high quality ingredients.
You could buy a Dominos pizza for 1/3 the price (and flavour)
Schnitzel is kinda religion in Australia, so delicious and the go to pub meal
I love watching your videos, they remind me to be grateful that I live here in Australia 🥰
Yes schnitzel is German or Austrian or really common dish from that area of the world but it’s extremely popular in Australia - the schnitty! Most often served topped with a tomato & herb sauce and melted grilled cheese on top. Parmigiana - it’s actually an Italian dish but now as Aussie as it gets- the only argument is is it a Parma or a Parmi!! & Schnitz chips are the bomb so good
Parma! 😊
Yea nah mate, it's a parmi :P
Parmi giana... clearly it can only be Parmi. I'll accept chicken giana before I'll accept chicken parma!!
😂 I was waiting for the ensuing debates
@TarshnotTrash !! Parma is a type of ham... has nothing to do with a Parmigiana. There's no debate. Parmi is correct. Parma is ham and no one wants a chicken ham
We are so spoilt for choice in Sydney when it comes to Asian food ( Korean, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Indian & Thai). Japanese is huge here at the moment. New Japanese restaurants opening up everywhere
Melbourne as well.
New Japanese restaurants - usually run by Koreans! The only group that immigrates to another country and opens restaurants from another culture's cuisine... (apart from Indians, who just buy any franchise going).
@@neumanmachine3781Bangladeshis masquerade as Indian restaurants too! 😉
@@neumanmachine3781 A lot of sushi places are run by Koreans because Korean food wasn't known that well in Australia until recent years. I have noticed that more Japanese restaurants are actually run by Japanese people as Korean has become more popular.
OMG....the zucchini fries from grilled are out of this world!!!!!!!
I'm going home to Australia after 4 years and I'm already thinking about which food I'm going to eat first.
The wiener schnitzel originated in Austria. Usually pounded chicken or veal. Then dipped in flour, egg mix breadcrumb & then pan fried in oil. Pretty much a staple in Australia.
Thai food would be the most popular Asian food though I've eaten Tibetan, Malaysian, Vietnamese and Korean is on the rise. We also have lots of middle eastern chicken, tabouli & chips fast food cooked butterfly style like Portuguese chicken.
My favourite growing up in Oz was wiener schnitzel but with the crumbed veal and squeezed lemon wedge over the top 😋. You tend to get chicken or crumbed steak nowadays. Actually I might make some original veal schnitzels, hammer the meat out and make home made breadcrumbs yum... if I can get my hands on some veal lol I haven't had it in years 🤔😋😁😊
Actually am authentication Viennese schnitzel is very large and round in shape.Veal Dipped in egg, then lemon juice and bread crumbs ( Panko bread crumbs are the best.Served with a slice of lemon to squeeze into schnitzel like we do with fish.Usuakly served with small potatoes ( steaked) then placed in butter and chopped fine parsley. Sometimes setve with chips or Pomm Fritz as they say in German speaking country.Check out Noodle box and Kebabs or Donner.
those noodle boxes are so packed in - will easily fill a normal dinner plate. you mentioned that a lot of these look good enough to be in a restaurant - because most of them are - most of our restaurants will do delivery (especially since covid)
We really are spoild for choice here in Australia 🇦🇺
So many great take away food options!
I'm very greatful 🙏 ✨️
Ryan, the reason our fast food is healthier is because Aussies are health conscious and insist on avoiding excess fat and grease, going for fresh produce wherever possibles. I keep hearing how bad Domino’s is in the US, but in Australia, Domino’s is very different, they revamped their menu a couple of decades ago, to cater to Aussie tastes. Buffalo mozzarella is used on pizzas in Italy and because we’ve learned from Italian migrants how to upgrade our Italian foods, we use buffalo mozzarella too and fresh toppings whenever possible.
Grilled burgers are amazing!! Been there many times :)
Epic video you bloody legend keep up the good work
Chicken schnitzel is basically our national dish

And it’s not even Australian 😂
@@starwyn7 Which makes it v Australian....we stole it 🤣🤣

Do they sell fish and Chips as well??
@@MrThomas864 Imported from Scotland. Did anyone ever eat one?
The “puddle” on the pizza is actually olive oil. It’s traditional to drizzle olive oil over pizza. It actually adds to the flavour of the pizza.
Buffalo milk mozzarella cheese, the stretchy stuff.
Zambreros are the fast food Burrito place to go to in Adelaide, I haven't personally heard of the other place so I can't comment on them.
There are also a lot of really good fast food Pizza joints around the place in AU
My son works at Grill’d, the food is great. His favourite is the Wagu beef burger. They get everything in fresh and prep from scratch.
We have noodle shops where you choose the fresh items you want and they cook it for you in the sauce of your choice. Buffalo cheese is mozzarella made from buffalo milk. It's the best quality cheese for pizza. It's what they use in Italy. A pizza restaurant in Melbourne Australia makes the world's best pizza. The chef won the world's best pizza competition in Italy competing against over 600 chefs from around the world. Only uses the best quality ingredients. We had a Dominos in our town but they didn't last against our local pizza restaurant even though they were double the price of Dominos. You can get schnitzels at any pub in Australia and it's cheap.
The zucchini chips from Grill'd have a super thin layer of breadcrumbs. Yeah they're deep fried but most of the time when you get them the fried crumb layer falls off anyway 😅 makes them much healthier than potato chips
Zucchini chips 🍟 are so GOOD 👍.
Still not convinced why deep-fried chips of zuccini are more healthy than chips of potato, but I don't care because they are soo good...
@Jimeny Cricket my theory is that the fried-ness does not change; it's still unhealthy. But nutritionally, zucchini is superior to potato. I actually think any fried vegetable is nutritionally more valuable than potato. Doesn't stop me loving potato, though.
Hahaha - I love your enthusiasm! You are going to love Australia when you get here. How is your little family? Must be time for another live stream!
Our fast food is really expensive compared to US prices. The food itself is fantastic and the servings are huge. Buffalo mozzarella is amazingly creamy. Fried chicken breast with tomato and melted cheese, a schnitzel is SOOO Australian.
but so's our minimum wage :)
Chicken Snitzel (we call it a SNITTY) is a must have for a pub feed....or a T-bone with chips and salad. We love Snitty's, they are sold at supermarkets to cook at home, at pubs with chips and salad, at restaurants, at clubs where you go to have a feed. Aussie's love a snitty
I am surprised the Vietnamese Meat Roll did not make the list! The crispy pork ones are amazing. Don't forget the chili and coriander.
Amen.
So many lunch bars sell so many really good Viet rolls the chains can't compete.
Love the BMs with chili, coriander and pork of any kind...
Yeah crispy pork belly banh mi is a fave of mine. I think they didn’t mention it because they aren’t chains. It’s individual shops. But a list of takeaway favourites in Australia would be good. Like Fish n chips, chicken parmi, banh mi, etc just sort of staples of takeaway cuisine
And sushi didn’t make it either
Hi Ryan, we do have great take away food, perhaps because we are often out doors. A (chicken) schnitty and chips is a staple pub food in Australia. You can get a great meal at pubs and clubs for reasonable prices, especially on their specials days - schnitty day, roast day, burger day, etc.
We are blessed with a choice of interesting cuisines from other cultures here in Aus. Especially from Asia. Love it.
We also have fish and chip shops. Various types of fish in tasty batter, either grilled or fried with delicious chips. They also sell fried dim Sims, scallops and potato cakes (slice of potato in batter which the Northern states call potato scallops)
Grilled is a very local Melbourne thing being plugged. Most people get a good burger from a fish+chip shop, or even a good petrol station. Btw, it's schnitzel, not shnitz.
snitty
Schnitz is the shop the food is from
@@Aussiedoll1 So every pub is called Schnitz? lmfao
@@kympridham8267 that…. Is not what I meant
‘Grilled’ has been on the Gold Coast for about 5 years. Zucchini chips and Sweet Potato chips are yummy.
Here in Adelaide, we also have a few schnitzel restaurants called Schnithouse (a play on the word sh*thouse!) 😄 The food is far from sh*thouse, though!
Our generic term for any type of hot potato chip is just 'chips', pure and simple. But if we want to be specific about it, we'll call a skinny-cut chip 'French fries' or 'shoestring fries' (or just 'fries'). A chunky, fat-cut chip will be called 'steak chips'. The normal, in-between cut is just 'chips' - or 'chippies' if you're being really causal. And then there's packet potato crisps, which we call (wait for it) chips!
We call them chips just like the British. I guess you could say we're just a chip off the old block.
I would called thick cut “wedges”
@@peetabrown5813 Wedges are different to chips
@@bencodykirk yeah true to a degree, eg I would often expect them to still have their skin on( or at the least the best ones do), but I think the American’s still call them fries
@@peetabrown5813 Yeah probably
We generally call buns rolls unless they are more like patisserie (sweet) like a cinnamon bun. When we fill it, we still call it a roll, not a sandwich. A sandwich is only when two slices from a loaf of bread are combined. A roll remains a roll whether it has a filling or not.
Where i live in Sydney we have a large Greek community, marrikville has sone amazing gyros
At grilled you can change the bun for whatever your preference they have about 5 different buns and instore they give you a token to put in a local charity box
An average meal at Maccas can easily cost $15-$20, so the prices from the smaller fast food chains are on par with the big ones for price, and they are usually way better! ❤
You'll find most of these ones they reviewed at pretty much any big city suburban food court (especially Westfields) and inner city high streets, along with the usual American suspects - Subway is extremely popular in Australia. Most of these options are at the more expensive end of fast food in Australia, there are also heaps of Kebab shops (the Halal snack pack is something of an Aussie institution- Chips with chicken salt covered by layers of cheese, kebab meat, sauce and more cheese). Bakeries are a typical traditional fast food that sell meat pies and sausage rolls and also do sandwiches, although Vietnamese migrants in the big cities have taken over a lot of bakeries which adds the Banh Mi (Vietnamese pork baguette) which is a real staple. The other traditional take away option is the fish and chip shop - originally modelled on the British version but now definitely Australian - they also make Australian style hamburgers (Beef Rissole flattened into a patty, with grilled onion, lettuce, tomato, onion, beetroot, fried egg, bacon and sometimes grated carrot and fresh cucumber and of course Aussie BBQ sauce). Bakeries and Fish and Chip Shops tend to be family owned small businesses rather than chains, as are most Asian takeaway food places and there are a lot of Italian/pizza and Indian places that are independent as well. Portuguese and Korean fried chicken chains are becoming more popular too such as Oporto, Frangos, Ogalo and O'Chicken (Korean) as well as the Korean chicken and beer bars.
I love Oporto. There’s also a Korean chicken place near me that’s excellent.
As well as those there are a few American style places that do fried chicken burgers. One I had that was really good was buttermilk fried chicken with sriracha mayo and a milk bun.
Yes, they sell beer at the fancier fast food places in Australia. This includes Taco Bell, which is way more upmarket than it is in America!
Wiener schnitzel is a popular Viennese dish made of veal and traditionally garnished with a slice of lemon and either potato salad or potatoes with parsley and butter.
In Austria and Germany, Wiener Schnitzel must be made of veal. When other meats are used, it can be called Wiener Schnitzel vom Schwein/Pute/Huhn ("Viennese schnitzel of pig/turkey/chicken") or Schnitzel (nach) Wiener Art ("Schnitzel Viennese style"). Wikipedia.
My ultimate favourite is the Kebab with my favourite toppings, all salad, cheese, hummus, chilli sauce, sour cream. Yummy 😋
Yum yum
Win!
Healthy too!
I get Lebanese pickles on my felafel
Specially good after an evening drinking!
They sell beer at Grill'd also
The local suburban takeaway or what we used to call a milkbar often make the best burgers. Where I live in Sydney's southwest, we have really good pizza, Thai, Indian, Chinese, charcoal/BBQ chicken, Vietnamese, burgers, Fish and chips and kebabs we also have clubs like RSL Clubs that make good meals plus if you want Maccas, pizza hut, dominos, Hungry Jacks, KFC or Subway they are never far away. Personally, I like the local privately owned stores. Once you get to know who does the best, it's difficult to go back to the big chains
It's amazing that I don't weigh 250kg, but I only have takeaway once or twice a month, sadly ☹️😭☹️
As an Aussie currently trying to recover from Covid, not sure I would agree it is "over".
Most of those are local to a certain parts of Australia 🇦🇺
We don't have many of those here more mum and dad one's
Schnitzel or Schnitzy are very common pub meals and restaurants
Also most Pizza bars sell the as take away as well as paste meals
Schnitzel is German at some time but like all food Aussie's put their own spin on them
Parmalat which he was eating crumbed deep fried paste sauce like on pizza and cheese spread on top and grilled to melt all together or if you asked for Hawaiian you get pineapple on top grilled with the sauce and cheese
A standard Schnitzel is just crumbed with either plane or mushroom gravey and the crumbs can have any herbs or lemon zest in it
Used to give you a cheek of lemon but no one seems to do now as expensive to buy like a $1 minimum to buy one lemon from shops
Cheers mate hope little one nkt keeping you guy up to much🦘🇦🇺👍
Schnitzels are a cultural icon in Australia, you will find it in every pub and chicken&chip shop. It is so universally loved in Australia we use it as a standard for the quality of pub food, if a pub can't do a decent schnitty, they're not a pub worth going to.
Yep, Chicken Schnitzels (especially Parmijiana or Parmi) definitely one of the most popular Australian eat out dishes. Just about every pub & club will have these. Being a performing musician on the south coast of NSW, I try them in all the venues I play in to compare but a really popular & affordable feed here down under.
Great video again Ryan., love your stuff mate!
Love Grill'd They have amazing burgers. Crust is also some of the best pizza ever.
Grilled is pretty awesome but the burger place in Roleystone WA is on another level 😋
And yes, fries are chips, unless they're really skinny cut, like Maccas and we call them fries, yep confusing
When you are next in Sydney try a place called Mary's in Newtown. It's on the list of top burgers in the country every year and it is an out-of-body experience.
terrible atmosphere (it's a loud, dirty pub) but the burgers.....
Where are you referring to? I can only think of Cafe 508 or Brookton Burgers, next to Zia's? I guess we're pretty spoit for choice on that short stretch of the highway between kelmscott and roley.
I love Schnitz, always cooked to perfection, I love the plain schnitz with lettuce and mayo on a burger bun and the seasoning on the side of chips is to die for ❤
Just about every suburb has Thai food which is super good. Buffalo cheese 🐃 uses actual Buffalo&when in Italy 🇮🇹 recently my cousin was surprised I knew but we are so so multi cultural
Pub food has chicken snitzel as go to.We are definitely foodies in Oz
Grill’d is great. I like it, have it every week and you can get beer (might depend on state). Not cheap though. Burger, chips and beer is ~$28. Add nuggets and I paid $33 last week.
The best part about growing up in Australia is having mates from all different cultures. I was lucky enough to grate mates from Japan, India, Greek and Kiwie's And some of the home cooked meals were amazing. Grilled is a bit over priced I don't rate it, but Gyzmenz Burritos are so good! Nothing beats a meat pie and coke, or a Pork Bhmi ( Vietnamese pork roll ) No fast food chain needed just a beautiful Bakery.
New Zealand is the Easter State of Australia
Schnitzel is originally German but been in Australia so long it’s very common here. Mostly at pubs. Also referred to as “parmie” or “Parma” depending on where u from. Its such a common thing that during covid lockdowns people couldn’t wait to go to pub for a parmie.
Look up - Illy (hip hop)song “Parma in June”
Also Hilltop hoods wrote a covid song “I’m good” (no schnitzel reference in it but still worth a listen .
Oh I forgot to say parmie is short for chicken parmigiana. Which means schnitzel with tomato and cheese topping. Italian influences.
We pay more for food perhaps, but at least we get good quality.
Schnitzel is a staple given to us from our multiC shared love of each other's food, Thanks Germany!. It is the go to in every pub menu. When you not sure what to order it's the schnitzel. You just change the topping and sides for variation. So comes with Greek salad and chips or vegetables,,,,,your choice. Topping : Parmigiana, Hawaiian, Diane (sweet) or mushroom gravy. There is a vegan option if that's your preference they can schnitzel an egg plant but not all pubs have this option.
Personally i dont eat a lot of takeaway foods, but sometimes have Chinese or pub food which is always great and cheap 😊
I thought everyone had heard of Schnitzel. Yes it's from Germany and is basically meat coated in breadcrumbs. I've never heard crumbed fish called a schnitzel, though. I've never heard of the food chain Schnitz, though and I've never heard of the 'Grill'd' chain either but I looked them up and there are several 'Schnitz' in Victoria and even in Dandenong where I live. There are a few 'Grill'd' towards the northern suburbs of Victoria but the closest to me is in Heatherton, down Heatherton Road to Warrigal Road. I don't get out much anymore, so I'm surprised but I'm not up with the new fast food. I vaguely remember the hotel/motel restaurant near me had Schnits meals in their restaurant lounge for a while instead of a regular restaurant with a chef. Chicken parmesan, or chicken parmigiana, is a dish that consists of breaded chicken breast covered in tomato sauce and mozzarella, parmesan or provolone cheese. A quantity of ham or bacon is sometimes added. Surprisingly, although the dish is Italian, it originated in the Italian district of the United States during the early 20th century.

Every single pub across Australia has the chicken parmigiana … it’s a given . Parmi’s are delicious.
Imo crust is a fancier more expensive dominoes… that tastes worse lol
Some fast food restaurants are also liquor licensed venues but I’ve always noticed they’re NOT priced competitively, and I wouldn’t be surprised if thats on purpose so you wont buy 20 beers there you would buy one then go to a pub
Guzman y Gomez is in a whole other league compared to Taco Bell (which is actually gross here, not sure if it's also gross in the US). They use all fresh and high quality ingredients. I've been to authentic Mexican restaurants in Australia and GYG is even better then those. It's basically as good as making Old El Paso at home except it's a fast food option. I love a Cali Burrito with chicken, absolute GOAT.
0:13 Australian's are Australasia's Ryan that's the region we live in Australasia .
Hiii
I sub to you
I'd have to say at least 99 out of 100 pubs that have a bistro will do a Chicken Snitty & you can have your choice of chips & salad, or vegetables, with or without gravy on the side (in a small stainless steel cup)
Always with gravy, always.
Hi first
A Chicken schnitzel eg. (Parma/Parmigiana) is a go to meal here in in OZ
Ryan, schnitzel mayhave originated in or around Germany but a chicken Parma (parmi in NSW) is the most common pub meal in Aust…together with a steak of course. A chicken Parma is a crumbled chicken breast deep fried with ham, tomato sauce (similar to pizza tomato sauce), and cheese added after the deep fry and melted under a grill.
Schnitz is my favourite of all time
With the price, you also have to remember we don't have to tip because we pay workers properly. I was a manager at Crust Pizza and the dough is made in house, semolina used when rolling it out, the ham is leg ham sliced in store etc and its buffolo mozzarella, similar to boccocini... I worked as a chef before Managing the Crust and the food quality is as good as the kitchens I'd worked in.
A beef schnitzel is what you Americans call a "chicken fried steak" So I guess this is a chicken fried chicken?? 🤣 But yes they are of German and Austrian culture. A Chicken Parmi (not a parma) is schnitzel with napoli (marinana) sauce topped with cheese and grilled until melted. It comes from the traditional Eggplant Parmigiana from Italy. So your right "is it German, is it italian"
Buffalo Mozzarella...you mainly see that on the Margarita Pizzas...it comes in a tub as little white balls LOL
Most people in Australia call fries “chips”- we also call the ones in bags chips- so if we want to be specific- we will call fries “hot chips”
The use of the word “fries” is becoming more common, but yeah- mostly we call them chips!🤷♀️👍🏻
Grill'd burgers are fucking amazing, and you can build your own burger with your preferred toppings. I die for their herbed mayo.
Australia never heard of french fries until McDonald’s arrived in Australia, or thereabouts. Before that, chips were always the thickness of your finger, because we cut the potatoes ourselves.
Long before anybody had heard of the internet it was solely used by academics like me. The internet has written standards that govern how domain names are to be formatted and many other things. All these documents are located on the internet and can be easily found if you search but they are very dry technical reading.
French fries are bought here too. If you go to a freezer in a supermarket and see the range, there could be ordinary straight cut chips, or crinkle cut chips, or beer batter chips, or ... whatever. You can also buy FRENCH FRIES. They are chips that are smaller (very small).
When they used to offer it, the pulled pork burrito's when they had their 50% days were incredible from Guzman y Gomez
