You’ve probably wondered what kind of fast food restaurants are in Australia.I’m an American that has been living in here for 4 years. A big difference I noticed when moving here was the Australian fast food chains. In this video I will take you to each popular Australian fast food restaurant and talk about the differences between here and America.

I have just watched a few clips of Americans eating Aussie meat pies, is it just me but I’m Screaming at my iPad yelling “where’s the tomato sauce!” But I’m really glad non aussies are enjoying one of our favourite foods

@gavinfoster8607 4 ай бұрын

Depending on the pie....tomato sauce or Worcesterhsire Sauce, or both!

@matthewcullen1298 Ай бұрын

If it's a good pie it doesn't need sauce 😊

Okay, so HJ's history from someone who worked there for 5 years. From memory this is correct, but if you want more than a summary look up Jack Cowan on Wikipedia. Burger King tried to come to Aus, but couldn't use their name here. Jack Cowan, the guy who it's named after licensed from Yum! There was an issue a while back bc Burger King tried to come back in and take over, but couldn't, Jack bought them out, and their contract still means he uses all their stuff as though a franchisee but he technically owns the Australian business. There was some legal shit in there that he won too, so we'll basically never see the Burger King name here on restaurants from what I recall, but eh. Also, we use eye bacon. It's the meatier bit of the bacon, that the US don't tend to use bc they use streaky bacon for the most part. Eye bacon is honestly more meaty and leaner, and better quality overall. You'll see eye bacon in most fish and chip shops, burger places. You tend to only need one piece per burger.

Bit of a fact about Hungry Jacks It actually was called Burger King but there was a small Burger shop called Burger King before the company came to Australia So due to the Australian Copyright laws they had to change the name So we technically have Burger King, it’s just a change in name but is owned by Burger King

@stevetarrant3898 9 күн бұрын

As an Australian nearing 60, I can confirm Maccas and HJs have absolutely no idea what bacon is. That crap they put in the burgers, it's barely ham, not bacon. Tough, chewy, I'm guessing it's cheap, and 'the customer ' won't notice. We'll, I do. And I don't eat that crap anymore. I get burgers from my corner fish and chip shop, or make them myself. And all you got from Red Rooster was some crappy fried chicken? Red rooster is all about the roast chicken. The best chicken. Damn... And 7-11, geez, you only eat from there when you are drunk or stoned.

Also, the reason at HJ's you can't get certain things is either pure efficiency, or food safety. Like they won't give special sauces on the side because they don't come in their own sealed containers - like mayo for example And free refills used to be a thing but the machines would break down so much they were a safety hazard bc we were perpetually having to mop up syrup and water in the restaurant.

7:40 there’s not many Mexicans here however there’s a decent amount of Latino’s here especially in Brisbane. Im el Salvadorian and we have quite a large “family” here, I also meet a lot of other latinos around to the point I’m genuinely surprised but again barely any Mexicans🤣

An "aussie meat pie" in a sealed bag ! I think not. From 7-11.....that says it all. Where is this ? That "burrito" looks similar to a kebab in Australia. Where is this food available ? I've only seen Red Rooster so far. Problem with takeaway is it's cold by the time you get it home.

Red Rooster is getting in on the Jollibee and Korean Fried Chicken craze rather than copying KFC. They had to branch out from Barbecued chicken because people don't eat that much anymore

Thanks for the video, but I have to disagree as an American living in Sydney for a few years now... GYG is more Tex Mex than authentic Mexican food. It's much better than Taco Bell (which is here in Australia now and not really the same as in the US). The best fast food in Sydney is definitely 5 Guys. It's just like in the states except no peanuts! I was so happy when one opened here, though. Also, we are supposed to be getting Wendy's, so I'd like to see how different it will be.

@mozipuggamer 3 ай бұрын

They have less fats and more nutrients, but depending on the restaurant or meal, it can have more kilojoules (kj is round the same as kcal). The chips t McDonald’s are vegan in australia, and there’s way more healthy options. So I’d say, yes. I have fast food about 2 or 3 times a week and I only fan abt 4kg every 3 or so months.

@noelpaintonsmith8091 Ай бұрын
