American Tries Australian Fast Food | Hungry Jacks | Red Rooster | GYG | Noodle Box | Food Tour Vlog 

GYG is owned by an American from New Mexico. GYG was started in sydney

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.

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

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

that spring roll had the CRUNCH! WOW

that pie would have to be the worst pie in australia

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.

Fun fact the noodle box, box can be unfolded and used as the plate for the noodles:)

the burrito looks good, very yummy

Of the Mexican FF in Australia Mad Mex is the nicest if for nothing else than Chorizo being a filling option. GyG & Zambrero aren't bad - Salsa's is a bit iffy.

Fun fact, you can get GYG in Chicago US. They’re slowly opening in the US.

Love GYG, Zambreros and Noodle Box.

Heaps of mexican people up in Brisbane. Beautiful people and culture

Hey you forgot Oporto’s 😂

Look up dulwich hill tamaleria, a great Mexican lady runs it and you can pick up ingredients there as well as tamales!

You can add habanero sauce to your items at gyg

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.

We used to have burger king here, it became hungry jacks when i was a kid.

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.

man hungry jacks slaps, nice one, i like it, very good video. thats a nice seat belt btw

Whilst I did agree with folks who complained that Red Rooster were trying to copy KFC when they added their fried options, I’ll admit they’re pretty good lol Also do legit like the gravy bites from HJs GYG is my hangover go to lol My friends call Zambrero “Mexican if it was run by fitness junkies”

You went to 7/11 for a pie WTF

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🤣

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.

1:38 bro Australia’s national pastime is having an absolute whinge about anything and everything🤣

GYG stomps taco Bell it is so much better and about the hot sauce they dont have it BUT you can have a spicy oil which makes your taco taste absolutely divine

did you find it hard to adapt to Australia's different driving compared to America when you moved here?

Hungry Jack's is not part of the burger king its it's own enterprise

get your pie from a bakery for the best pies...

I wish there's more fast food chains I'm SICK AND TIRED OF THE SAME ONES

I hate not being able to see the whole menu, and all the extra shit they have. They all do it, KFC, Maccas, Jacks

Is fast food healthy to eat in Australia everyday I know ingredients is different than fast food in uk/usa/ Canada

HJ breakfast looks more delicious than USA BK breakfast

lived in Australia for 37 years never heard of zambrero must not be in melbourne

A fry?

Reason for no free refills, they pay their workers instead, unlike the US.

I find hash browns to oily.
