  • We're back.

  • We're back.

  • Ready?

  • How are you guys doing?

  • Hungry.

  • You good?

  • You hungry?

  • Very hungry.

  • Have you heard of Wendy's?

  • No.

  • I know it's like a massive chain in America.

  • Yeah.

  • I've heard of it in America.

  • Doesn't it shut down or not?

  • Probably.

  • Probably.

  • Wendy's started in 1969 by a guy called Dave.

  • Named after his daughter, Wendy.

  • The main burger is Dave's Double.

  • Is that what it's called?

  • It's got your name on it.

  • What is this?

  • Oh my.

  • Oh, it's huge.

  • Oh my days.

  • Why is the patty squared?

  • That's square hamburgers, they're massive.

  • How am I going to eat that without making a mess then?

  • Straight in there.

  • Wow.

  • Oh my.

  • That is amazing.

  • That's good.

  • Dave's a good man.

  • Dave's a good man.

  • Yeah, Dave did something here.

  • Yeah, Dave was doing it.

  • So nice.

  • Better than McDonald's and all those fakes.

  • This is the one.

  • That's really good.

  • It's way better than McDonald's.

  • It's lovely.

  • Really good fast food burger.

  • Yeah.

  • The burgers are thicker than our burgers.

  • It's more juicy.

  • It's bigger as well.

  • Tastes like real meat and the cheese is all melted and it's amazing.

  • It's like a proper patty.

  • But it's just square.

  • Wendy's, what's going on?

  • It's like eating square pizza, it's just shush.

  • Why is it squared?

  • I thought the delivery driver just went.

  • OK.

  • Is that specific to Wendy's?

  • I think so.

  • I think it's an attempt to stand out from the crowd.

  • Maybe.

  • But in a round bun.

  • Yeah.

  • That's that often though.

  • Why not square bun with a square burger?

  • That would make sense.

  • Honestly, Wendy's could get on that.

  • If I were them, I'd look at all things that come square.

  • You could grow tomatoes in a mold.

  • Square tomatoes, square onions.

  • Square egg, Isaac Toast has got it down.

  • Exactly.

  • Yeah.

  • So.

  • I'm just eating.

  • This is really nice.

  • This is really nice.

  • There's a lot of stuff in the burger as well.

  • You can see pickles, onions, lettuce.

  • Tomato.

  • Tomato, cheese.

  • It's got everything.

  • It's a nice burger.

  • Yeah.

  • Really nice.

  • People eat this regularly.

  • Yeah.

  • And they're living life.

  • They're living life.

  • 8.5.

  • 8.5 out of 10.

  • OK.

  • Strong start.

  • Next up, we have another iconic Wendy's menu item.

  • Now, this is maybe the most popular item on the menu.

  • I'll decide that.

  • OK.

  • I didn't know that was up for debate.

  • OK.

  • He's like, that's why I'm here.

  • That's why I'm here.

  • The Baconator.

  • The name that these American people come up with.

  • Oh, that sounds good, too.

  • That's a good name.

  • It is a good name.

  • The Baconator.

  • Oh, wow.

  • No, no.

  • Put it away.

  • Put it away.

  • Look, look, look.

  • Why is it stretching?

  • I've never seen cheese like this.

  • Never get nothing like this in the UK.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Oh, my.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • It's the same with a strip of bacon.

  • I don't know.

  • The secret's out.

  • Yes, they got rid of the veggies.

  • Three, two, one.

  • Mm.

  • That's delicious.

  • Mm.

  • Oh, my word.

  • This wins.

  • I don't care.

  • No, this wins.

  • These were never in the competition.

  • Wow.

  • Better than Dave's double.

  • Miles better.

  • Wow.

  • Poor Dave.

  • Miles better.

  • Is Wendy's close to her?

  • No.

  • It's actually her.

  • It's not that close, unfortunately.

  • It's brilliant.

  • Yeah.

  • Absolutely brilliant.

  • I mean, I prefer the sauce in the other burger.

  • Oh, OK.

  • But bacon makes everything better, doesn't it, in life?

  • That's lovely, that.

  • Yeah.

  • Too much bacon.

  • OK.

  • I never thought a Baconator would be criticized for its bacon.

  • Having too much bacon.

  • This is actually really good.

  • I might actually get this over the ones that I make at home.

  • If the whole world tried Wendy's,

  • McDonald's would go bankrupt.

  • Yeah.

  • You've got to out of business, man.

  • They also do Baconator fries.

  • Oh, that looks good.

  • Yeah.

  • Oh, Baconator fries.

  • I'm not going to lie.

  • It sounds like they just want to use the word Baconator in something else.

  • Yeah.

  • I mean, you would.

  • You would.

  • You would.

  • These look like real cheesy fries, not the fakes you get from the seaside that have a little sprinkle.

  • Well, it's more cheese than bacon.

  • Oh, you're not a fan of cheesy fries?

  • I love cheese.

  • Not too much.

  • Cheesy chips is, ugh.

  • All right.

  • Baconator fries.

  • Cheese is all melted.

  • That is so good.

  • Do you know what, as well?

  • Remember the first video where I said I didn't like potatoes?

  • Potatoes.

  • I'm not, like, a massive fan.

  • That's weird, because I'm Irish.

  • They make potatoes for you.

  • No, I like potatoes.

  • OK.

  • It's cheesy.

  • Very cheesy.

  • Very cheesy.

  • But I like it, though.

  • There's nothing to be said.

  • Wow.

  • It's too good to be a side.

  • Not a fan.

  • Oh.

  • Not a fan.

  • She wants cheese from you.

  • Not a big fan.

  • I'll keep it, then.

  • I like the cheese.

  • Cheese is happiness.

  • I can't beat cheese.

  • It's not really cheese, is it?

  • It's something.

  • It's not cheese.

  • American cheese.

  • It's kind of like cheese sauce, really, isn't it?

  • It's nice.

  • I'm not the biggest fries fan.

  • If you could have burger and chips, or just two burgers, what would you do?

  • Burger and chips.

  • I mean, it probably turns out I'm hungry, I'm probably.

  • So the next question, is your last bite chips or burger?

  • What?

  • What are you dying off?

  • But you always, your last bite of the meal is always the best bit.

  • Like on a roast dinner, you don't end on a carrot, do you?

  • Careful what you say.

  • Did you end on a burger, not on the chips?

  • I don't know.

  • Often, if you're eating in a car or something, you'll find a chip afterwards.

  • Down here, you'll be like, oh.

  • Often, I'll just find a burger as well.

  • Oh, there's a burger.

  • Next up, we have one of the fan favorites at Wendy's, spicy chicken nuggets.

  • Oh, no.

  • I don't think they're going to be that spicy.

  • The pepper's spicy for me.

  • Let's give it a taste.

  • Yeah, man.

  • Give it a taste.

  • Oh my gosh, they're so small.

  • These are like mini mozzarella bites.

  • There's not that many in there.

  • You know when you go to McDonald's, you get a lot.

  • But then at McDonald's, it'd be a main.

  • This is a side.

  • Oh, it's a side.

  • That's good.

  • That's good, actually.

  • Right, let's go.

  • That's good.

  • The bacon kind of, the barbecue sauce kind of tastes like honey.

  • Will I have any water, please?

  • Oh, man.

  • He's actually gone red.

  • I know.

  • Oh my gosh.

  • Can I have some more water, please?

  • Yeah, I'm liking these.

  • Now, Wendy's is not missing at all.

  • It feels like it's actual chicken.

  • Tastes like proper chicken.

  • It's like a chicken nugget.

  • It's a chicken nugget.

  • It's a chicken nugget.

  • Tastes like actual chicken.

  • Tastes like proper chicken.

  • Like, it actually looks like it's made at home.

  • Not in a factory.

  • It's quite a low bar, really, when you think about it.

  • Yeah, chicken nuggets in general.

  • You want it to taste like actual chicken.

  • Yeah.

  • And then you're impressed.

  • Hey!

  • Next up, we have spicy chicken sandwich.

  • Why the special name?

  • They love a chicken sandwich in America, don't they?

  • So you guys like the Popeyes?

  • We did.

  • Spicy chicken sandwich.

  • It was nice.

  • Let's see if Wendy's can compete.

  • The lettuce and tomato in there looks almost token.

  • It's not really doing much, but...

  • Oh, you're...

  • He's just going straight for lettuce.

  • Is that to help with the spice?

  • You need to cool your mouth down a little bit.

  • Bless you, mate.

  • It's like a massive chicken nugget.

  • It actually is.

  • It does look like that.

  • Yeah.

  • All right, ready?

  • Ready.

  • Yeah, let's go.

  • Let's go.

  • Oh, my word.

  • This one's the best one.

  • This one's the best one.

  • That is amazing.

  • Yeah, wow.

  • No, this one's the best one.

  • No, it's simple.

  • Just like I like it.

  • The lettuce isn't crunchy enough.

  • Yeah.

  • Ooh.

  • And it's too soft.

  • Like, you want to have a bit of give.

  • OK.

  • There's not enough, like, different texture.

  • Yeah.

  • The burger tastes nice, but it's a bit plain compared to the other two burgers.

  • It's just plain.

  • It's just basic.

  • It's just basic.

  • Yeah.

  • It is just a chicken sandwich.

  • It's a five.

  • It's your average burger.

  • Yeah, it's just straight down the middle.

  • What do you think?

  • It's too hot, mate.

  • You don't even put it on.

  • It's too hot.

  • So how does that compare to, like, chicken shop chicken that you get here?

  • Chicken shop chicken, still clear.

  • OK.

  • Yeah, still clear.

  • No, it's just got that little edge.

  • I've got a theory for chicken shops.

  • The more rundown the chicken shop, the better the food is.

  • OK, OK, wow.

  • That is a risky theory.

  • That is a risky theory.

  • Risky theory.

  • Going to end on a salmonella, mate.

  • Yeah.

  • Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich?

  • Top ten.

  • That's top ten.

  • That's the best one so far.

  • We have the last iconic menu item from Wendy's.

  • A little dessert.

  • A Frosty.

  • We don't really have Frosties here in the UK.

  • It's somewhere in between an ice cream and a milkshake.

  • So do you drink it all?

  • You probably have it with a spoon.

  • Frosty is famous for, because you can tip it upside down, it's not going to fall out.

  • Oh, you really can.

  • It's like a meringue.

  • I'm not risking that.

  • That is so good.

  • This is good.

  • That's good.

  • Yeah.

  • So nice.

  • You're a fan of the Frosty.

  • That is good.

  • I'm a very big fan of this.

  • Yeah, I like that.

  • It's good?

  • Yeah.

  • It's crazy, like.

  • It's like ice cream, but it's a milkshake at the same time.

  • I'm actually shocked, I'm actually shocked.

  • Oh my days, wow.

  • I'm surprised how subtle the flavours are.

  • Most other things we've had that are American are really strong and sweet and sickly, which I love.

  • Okay.

  • These are quite English flavours.

  • It's nice.

  • Yeah.

  • Good for the spice.

  • Are you still feeling the spice?

  • Yes.

  • That's something I'd go, like, hot summer day after playing football would be brilliant.

  • You know what?

  • I have to try this.

  • Do you want to dip your fries in?

  • No, get away from me.

  • Please, please, please.

  • That's disgusting.

  • Please, man.

  • You don't dip your fries in your milkshake?

  • Do you actually?

  • I love it, I love it.

  • Fries and Frosty is an iconic combo.

  • I mean, the Americans have some weird combos, don't they?

  • Let's try chocolate.

  • Want to try?

  • Is it good?

  • No, it's better with the chocolate one.

  • Yeah?

  • It's because you get that sweet and salty combination.

  • Yeah.

  • So good.

  • No, it's weird.

  • It's not right.

  • Morally, it's not right.

  • Wow.

  • If I ever get rich, I want to have a built-in Wendy's.

  • Okay, wow.

  • Wow.

  • Richie Rich style.

  • If it was a regular fast food in the UK, I'd definitely go there.

  • I'd go there all the time.

  • Really?

  • I'd go there more than McDonald's.

  • Take out McDonald's.

  • Get rid of them.

  • Knock it down.

  • They're not doing good enough.

  • Knock it down.

  • Any last words you want to say to Wendy?

  • Wendy's still alive.

  • Hang in there, Wendy.

  • Keep going.

  • Hi, Wendy.

  • Is Wendy a person?

  • Wendy's a person, yeah.

  • Dave's daughter.

  • Who?

  • Dave.

  • Dave is the guy who started Wendy's.

  • Oh, Dave.

  • Dave.

  • And her brother ate her.

  • Bacon ate her.

  • Oh, my gosh.

  • It really sounded like you were saying he ate her, which is a very worrying origin story.

  • I think this is much better than the fast food burgers we would have.

  • One load for another.

  • Really good.

  • One load for another.

  • All right, excellent, guys.

  • We'll see you jolly soon.

  • See you jolly soon.

  • See you jolly soon.

  • Bye.

  • Bye.

  • Bye.

We're back.
