To anyone wondering: Yes, we do have Dunkin' Donuts in Germany, usually only in bigger cities, but they do exist. But like 10 years ago there was nó Dunkin' Donuts anywhere in Germany. I personally saw the first one maybe five or six years ago.
I was visiting Germany (Essen) with people who live in France. There is no Dunkin' Donuts in France, so my friends got a lot of donuts, with beer. That was fun. :)
They also have little pop-up stores in smaller cities, usually in the ECE shopping centers. (Schlossarkaden in Braunschweig and City Galerie in Wolfsburg each has one, I think. Or had one for some time?)
True they exist here in Germany for some years now in big cities, but they have a hard time here because of our bakeries, and they have better versions of donuts called Krapfen/Berliner. I don't think they will ever get very popular here.
I think in Germany they have what is called Wirtshäuser(?) which are better than any kind of American chain restaurant. They are usually quite traditional which is a better atmosphere in my opinion. It's been a while since I was in Germany so I may be confused. The most popular burger place in my country is called Fergburger. It's very popular with tourists and they have lines literally around the block..it's slightly overhyped I think but it is definitely tasty
Well yea Wirtshaus would be like a restaurant/tavern here in Germany where they serve more traditional German food and the local beer brands. These aren't franchises but also for Italian food for example it's more common to buy from some local restaurant than from a franchise (even though the franchises become more popular)
Nele isn't quite well informed about the chains in Germany. Dunkin'donuts and Dominos Pizza are very big chains in the whole country. Dunkin'donuts is mostly found in Malls or at airports and train stations and Dominos got restaurants in literally every bigger city. McDonald's and Burger King are by far the biggest chains tho
Dunkin is like a religion in the north eastern US, especially into New England. There's one on every corner and everybody needs their Dunkin coffee like how elsewhere people need their Starbucks fix, it's like a whole thing. It exists in the rest of the country, but it's not as big of a deal
You should have invite to the Mexican girl. In Mexico we have all of those franchises. Starbucks is very popular here, I worked in a Whataburger when I was a teenager, but it doesn't exist anymore here.
The American girl just gives me good vibes, I mean, I love her accent and it’s quite understandable. Usually Americans say that Southern accent is just like horrible but I feel it like so funny and easy to understand in general. Sometimes I even find hard to get Northern American accent but not that much, I can easily distinguish both accents and ways of speaking. It happens like in Spain, at the south people talk like in a very different way than North people, meanwhile in Madrid they just like have a neutral accent quite understandable in every part of Spain. I believe that it occurs in every country, accent depends on the place you live.
I don't think Americans dislike southern accents. There's just a lingering historical stereotype for southerners having poor education. The accent itself is often very pleasant.
The Outback Steakhouse wasn't founded in Australian, it's just Australian themed. If I remember correctly it was founded in Miami/Tampa/somewhere in Florida
Yeah, outlook is as Australian as Taco Bell is Mexican. The Outback near me can’t grill a steak to save their own lives. It’s either shoe leather or bloody rare.
We have Dunkin Donuts in Germany at all bigger train stations and pedestrian zones. And also Domino's here and there, for example in my house. There is no Shake Shack Berlin or anywhere else in Germany though. I found it interesting that they have Taco Bell in Spain.
Dunkin Donuts kinda suck compared to a good mom and pop bakery donut. Too bad that's all most people have tried these days. I don't think they could compete in Germany, home of the jelly donut (berliner). edit: but apparently they do have them there. Weird.
In America, you'll never get the best pizza if you eat from a chain restaurant. Local, family-owned pizzarias are the best by far... and out of those, the best are in the northeast: NYC, New Jersey and Philadelphia. Chicago also has good pizza... especially if you're in the mood for deep dish pie. What passes for good pizza in the rest of the U.S. is sometimes criminal.
Desculpa, mas o gosto das rosquinhas do Dunkin' Donuts tem gosto de fritura velha, o que salva é o recheio. Domino's Pizza é muito ruim, prefiro mil vezes as pizzas brasileiras, o que salva no fim é Outback que é Australiano e o BK
Nele NEEDS to tell Sky and Claudia about the magic that is Spaghettieis and Lasagnaeis! When I visited in 2007, Ice Cream Shops were akin to Starbucks in the states, only 20x better! You never forget your first time eating Spaghettieis 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Dominos is one of the most famous pizza home deliveries here in germany. we also have dunkin donuts and KFC is popular here... I can tell you this even I don't eat fast food at all😂
Fast food is convenient, and mostly consistent, but for many people they will pay a little more to get away from super processed food. Years ago I worked for Round Table Pizza, which is one of the better chain pizzerias, and once you have eaten better quality pizzas that don't use frozen or pre-packaged dough, and canned or processed ingredients, it's hard to go back just for the lower cost, convenience, and late hours. Fast food burgers often use relish, catsup and onions, and don't have fresh vegetables like tomatoes and lettuce. All bigger cities and college towns will have various fast food shops, but as in Europe they usually also have local restaurants and pizzerias that sell higher quality food with a more personable atmosphere, where you often know the owner, and the food is sourced locally when possible.
We have a lot of small restaurants and a lot of franchises. Some franchises are only in certain parts of the country like Jack In The Box (fast food) or Picadilly (cafeteria) or Waffle House (diner). I personally love Waffle House and prefer it to Denny’s and IHOP.
as far as I know, in Spain Pizza Hut was bought by Domino's. And there are several Papa John's restaurants, but still not that popular (compared to Telepizza and Domino's).
For pizza: papà John's, pizza hut and domino's are so disgusting and an insult to real pizza, but there are pizze far more disgusting i tried like the Brazilian pizza made me vomit for the taste. The only nice pizza is the Italian! Pizza chain's pizza are horrible, eat at locals
An increasingly popular burger franchise in Spain nowadays would be Goiko. They make gourmet burgers so they're a bit more expensive (€12-16) and come only with fries and the sauce you choose. Drinks separately. Best burgers ever for sure
Can you please put someone in these video's that's a Latin American from the USA (yes, an English speaking Latin American) not just from Central and South America. Thanks.
Good video! I like how the American girl is knowledgeable. I thought in Spain local coffee shops were popular ? So Idk if this girl is right. Also she saying that "donuts don't exist in Spain" In Mexico we also dip bread in hot coffee or chocolate!
Let me give a slight explanation to this. In Spain we had a Cantabrian (Santander region) company called Panrico that started to make donuts in the sixties (1960's). And they have been popular everywhere since then, but people wasn't used to go to any specialized shops to buy donuts: it was something that any groceries, supermarket, bakery or cafeteria had available for breakfasts. Since Panrico had the trademark "Donut" for Spain, Dunkin was forced to change its name to Dunkin' Coffee here. In 2015 Panrico was bought by mexican group Bimbo. However, donut-related franchises only appeared in Spain in the early 2000's. We aren't really used to them.
I hate McDonald’s food. The only thing I eat from Burger King is the plant based Impossible Burger. I prefer sit down restaurant burgers but for fast food the better burger places are like Five Guys, Whataburger, Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr.
@@eliass6200 Then consider me pissed! Surely there aren't a ton of them, right? Especially with the famous hamburger lore & all, you'd think they would be averse to allowing a lot of giant fast food burger chains to compete with their own.
@@CamxCam. The midsize american franchises often have like 1 location in Frankfurt, because its the most american influenced since its the financial hub of germany, with some us military outposts in the greater area.
Towards the Pizza in Germany. During the Wirtschaftwunder (economic wonder) we needed a lot of additional workers (Gastarbeiter - guest workers) which mostly came from Italy and Turkey of which many decided to stay and a good portion of them decided to open small family run restaurants. I guess Spain due to its isolation under Franco didn't have such an influence untill comparatively more recent decades. For the same reason the standard ice cream you will get in Germany is what you would call Gelato in the US and soft ice is very rare
Might be a regional difference as some parts of Germany are pretty much different countries and people to other parts however the stuff about coffee shops just seemed completely foreign to me (living in the west near Luxembourg, Belgium and France) as here every other shop on main street is a family run café and most have been run for generations
In regards to fast food burgers; for me it goes from nicest to meh: Wendy's, Carl's Jnr, Burger King, McDonalds. There are gourmet ones like Burger Fuel, Better Burger, Burger Burger and Burger Wisconsin here, but I am just talking about the ones that are "fast food". I have had In-N-Out on the West Coast of the US, and those are pretty up there. Donuts: is Southern Maid, then Krispy Kreme if I "have to", and hardly ever Dunkin' Donuts. Pizza's: Dominos then Pizza Hutt.
Only a few american chains exist in Germany: Mc Donalds 1489 Burger King 740 Subway 690 Kentucky Fried Chicken 163 Starbucks 160 Pizza Hut 80 Five Guys 15
Fast food from franchises, no ty, I feel my veins getting full of fat only watching that kind of "food". My hamburgers are from the butcher's and my pizzas are from local restaurants, and not a lot of times. The Mediterranean diet is becoming an American kaka.
🤦🏻♀️Oh Sky, girl that shirt/bra look is not good. All of that bra showing is not flattering at all. I'm busty and plus size too and I know there are better clothes out there than what you're wearing.
German here...I think Nele is from a small town. We do have a lot of coffee shops, chains as well as artisanal. It just feels like where she is from there aren't a lot of US brands
i lived in some big german cities too (Trier, Bochum, Krefeld and Dresden) and there are also not many US brands too so i dont think that what you said only applys on "small towns" e.g. Trier, Bochum arent small towns, maybe if we are talking about the biggest like Berlin, Hamburg, München, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Köln etc. they do have a lot more US brands but that isnt the whole country yk what i mean?
Whose is Burger King in Brazil? The Brazilian investment company, equivalent to 3G Capital, for the business, Jorge Paulo Marcel Tell and Carlos Alberto Sicupira bought Burguer King, at US$ 4 at the time, for US$ 4 at the time, or US$ 7 billion. Anyway, currently, the brand belongs to the Brazilian group.
No tienen otro gentilicio al que referirse. Es más, en lengua inglesa ni siquiera existe la palabra gentilicio. La palabra "estadounidense" es algo que solo existe en español. Ellos eran "British America" hasta 1776... y tras una guerra de 5 años obtuvieron la independencia y solo se les ocurrió quitar "British" de su nombre.
@@BlackHoleSpain Yo no estoy hablando de «estadounidense» y «americano», sino que de «América» y «Estados Unidos». Además, sí tienen la palabra «gentilicio», es _demonym._
@@itsgiag Ah, demonym. Puede ser. Pero es que cualquier persona angloparlante se va a referir a Estados Unidos como America. Tu America para ellos es "The Americas".
Te entiendo pero es que en inglés se ha vuelto popular y ya muchos lo usan así. Incluso me sorprendió la chica española cuando dijo América porque en español así no se dice, pero bueno. Yo aun cuando hablo ingles no digo America. Prefiero decir USA, US or the states.
@@BlackHoleSpain No fue así. Se nota que no investigas nada. Cuando los Estados Unidos se independizaron y se volvieron los Estados Unidos de América no eligieron un nombre común para referirse al país, además, ellos solo lo eligieron porque eran estados unidos en América. Para el siglo XVIII los europeos llamaban a todos los americanos americanos y cuando EE. UU. se independizó pasó lo mismo. Ya después de que Haití y otros países americanos se independizaran empezaron a llamarnos por nuestros gentilicios además de «americano». Ya en el s. XIX la gente llamaba a Estados Unidos como «Estados Unidos» puesto que ya había pasado un siglo y la gente seguía llamando a todo aquel nacido en América como americano, pero en el siglo XX todo cambia: España pierde sus últimas colonias en América, RU también y EE. UU. se convierte en potencia mundial junto a la Unión Soviética. Muchos latinoamericanos todavía tenían familiares que eran llegados de Europa y de las colonias, por lo que ellos adoptaron una costumbre por llamar a los estadounidenses como americanos, pero al pasar las generaciones esto fue cambiando y la gente empezó a utilizar «norteamericano» y ya para finales de los 80 se empieza a usar el término «estadounidense». A principios del siglo XX, los Estados Unidos continuaron la construcción del Canal de Panamá empezado por los franceses, cuando lo terminaron empezaron a dividir el continente en dos -durante décadas cientos de estadounidenses habían estado tratando de implementar un nuevo término para sus ciudadanos sin que hicieran que se confundieran con el resto de los americanos, pero no funcionó ninguna de las propuestas, por lo que cuando terminó el Canal ellos adaptaron los continentes a su gusto. Otra cosa es que antes del presidente Roosevelt ellos no llamaban a su país América, sino que a todo el continente. Claro, habían algunas excepciones-. Este modelo se implementó como norma a principios de los 50 y se esparció por todo el mundo anglosajón -en ese tiempo consistía de Corea (Estado títere de EUA), Japón (controlado por RU y EUA), Filipinas (colonia de EE. UU.), India, Australia, China (Hong Kong), Egipto y otras colonias británicas como Palestina, parte de Alemania Occidental, entre otras, y a través de Alemania Occidental pasó a conocimiento de los soviéticos y lo modificaron para que su país estuviera en un solo continente, por lo que unieron Europa y Asia-, de ahí que ellos lo conocen así. Los gentilicios que usaban para diferenciarse son y eran «US American» y «US citizen».
There are 391 Domino's locations in 189 cities in Germany. Personally, as an American, I don't order from them. I too would rather get my pizza from a local pizzeria.
Damn as a German I was surprised that she wasn't sure if we have Domino's but that's a lot. And yes some good Neapolitan pizza from a local restaurant is 10 times better than this fast food trash
Goiko no la conocía, pero veo que tiene muchas tiendas en muchas ciudades. Será porque hace más de 15 años que no tengo amigos y ya no salgo a comer fuera a ninguna parte.
There was Domino's Pizza in Germany in the late 80's. But it became Pizza World. Frankfurt a/Main and Hanua had them. Used to be a Wendy's in Haptbanhauf in Franfurt back then too
I was laughing at the American girl claiming Americans fight over which Pizza chain is the the best pizza. None of them. I think she's from part of the South with few independent pizza shops, but most of the rest of the country has them.
Every country do that, people from the States dont say the Spanish Brand Zara like Spanish or the Ducth brand C&A in Dutch you say in English... is not wrong or right, is just people adapting brand named into their language
@@manubutcherreality6474 Yes but when Americans say it differently, everyone gets on them and says they are wrong and ignorant… so why isn’t that the same for people who mispronounce American companies?
gostei do sotaque da americana, normalmente é muito rápido ou nada nasal, da alemã também não é forte, normalmente parecem estar bravos😂, ela não, Claudia some o sotaque(acento) da espanha acho que nós brasileiros sempre fica som de i, o dela não consigo perceber, já quando cita em sua lingua nativa eu acho belo. me lembrou de conversa com o inglês que mora aqui, sobre marcas e quando falei instagram ele riu dizendo que estava errado, eu mostrei o criador brasileiro falando, nãp acreditava😂
I am Spanish and I remember having in my house a coffee machine since I am a kid. You can also ask for a coffee in a bar and there are a café in every corner. We had coffee culture before Starbucks. And I lived in Germany and there were many café. And (at least where I lived) bakeries have coffee too.
I think that Claudia's comment was more related to different kinds of coffee (like the ones we can buy at Starbucks, even the weird ones) than our culture before Starbucks. A good example could be the TV show Camera Café (maybe at that time there were Starbucks, but honestly, I didn't remember them).
I'm from Germany but lived in Catalonia for 5 years. I loved drinking expressos and cortados in the little cafes. The coffees in Germany are not as good as in Spain and here I only drink coffee at home. I only drank Starbucks coffee once on the motorway in France and that was very bad.
@@inotoni6148 Its true¡¡ For that reason in Spain we go to Starbucks just to be cool or to taste different things, but in general we prefer local coffee shop. Cheaper and good coffee too. I can understand in countries like UK or US Starbucks coffee is the best coffee you could find, but here no.
@@angyML it could be possible that Starbucks opened other ways of drinking coffee in Spain. Maybe Starbucks was in the big cities when Camera cafe was aired. But Spanish have the culture before Starbucks came here
When I was a kid, I thought I'd prefer Domino's but now as a grownup I'd say Pizza Hut or Little Caesar's depending on the price and the ingredients. Papa John's is available as well, but it never caught my attention. We've also got lots of local pizzerías anyway. Starbucks has like a dozen of shops in my country but I don't support it at all.
The Outback Steakhouse restaurant franchise has nothing to do with Australia it was founded as an Australian themed steak restaurant in Tampa, Florida, USA. Although now rather ironically there are 8 Outback Steakhouse restaurant franchises located in Australia (6 in New South Wales & 2 Queensland).
Burger King is becoming more popular in germany again because they expanded their options. There's now several vegan burgers, wraps and nuggets at Burger King while there's only one vegan burger at McDonalds. And since many young people are switching to become more plant based, McDonalds is ruining their own business by not adapting 😅
I’m from the west coast, Southern California. You will find a lot of In-n-out here. Never heard of Shake shack, five guys but there are some in my area.
I'm from Massachusetts on the East Coast and I've only seen one Outback Steak House...ever lol, the bigger known steak chain restaurants are either Texas Roadhouse or Longhorn steak house
