The plot development from ‘alex needs a girlfriend’ to ‘Alex has a girlfriend’ all the way to ‘Alex is getting married and is making his own wedding cake’ is honestly the perfect storyline to go along with eat the menu Edit: to everyone bringing the drama up, this is about lewberger Alex btw 😂
FIY we don't care, I repeat WE DO NOT CARE how long these videos are. These are comfort videos for me. I actually make time in my day for these. Keith eating the menu is wort my time. Don't interrupt a master at his work
one thing I dislike about taste test videos is when they cram 47 items into 7 min of vide (*cough cough, buzzfeed). It feels rushed and jarring and I end up not retaining anything they said. Ask me 7 min later what they liked and i wont know. I like the longer format of ETM because it feels more genuine and relaxed. I use ETM as background noise and it's kind of like a comfort show at this point. *especially* with places like Applebee's that have a mile-long menu, I wouldnt enjoy the series at all if they were cramming it into 10 min.
My best friend would go to applebees for his birthday every year and his dad would buy us a shit ton of apps. His dad passed away this year, unexpectedly. This is such a welcome surprise. Thank you, guys, for always making my day.
For his safety and mental health, if Keith does decide to take on Cheesecake Factory for ETM at some point, he should split it into 2 parts. Part 1 is the main menu, part 2 for dessert menu
If he rented a camper van or RV and a site nearby, he could technically do it in a long weekend and they could probably combine it with tons of other shoots
I disagree with people that dislike Keith using his sauces in the show. Even though he is promoting it, but you can see that he actually likes it and it would be weirder if he made the sauce and never used/mentioned it ever again like some
Truthfully I don’t think you’ll ever understand how much you’ve helped with my ED and making me comfortable to eat. Cause it’s like I’m eating with you when it’s hard for me to eat.
Tbh, as a picky eater, these types of videos are really helpful in a way? Cause I want to branch out and try new things but I never know what would be good and just getting to see the menu and have someone give their take on the food is extremely helpful to someone who wants to branch out into different things at fast food places. Or even to try at home! I love all the try guys videos, but these just got a special kinda thing going to them for me lol. (Also, Keith’s comment about the cheese curds and Wisconsin gas stations? Absolutely true. They’re everywhere.)
YES! same! I really stick to the same two or three things but it's nice to know what to expect if I decide to get something different, and this is such an entertaining way to get that insight!
One of the items Keith liked at Panda Express is my new favorite from there. I like the recommendations, even though I don't always agree with the stuff he doesn't like. Also, yes, a lot of gas stations in Wisconsin sell fresh cheese curds, especially near the border.
You would love good mythical morning they taste all kinds of things and Link is also a picky eater. They even just came out with a website that has the list of everything they've eaten and how they liked it.
Keith progressively getting more and more crazy is like watching that friend in college you knew who pulled too many all nighters officially starting to lose it. You see the train heading off the rails, but don't know what to do to stop it. Also there really needs to be a term for whatever he goes through because "meat sweats" does not encompass whatever weird shit starts happening as he eats more. It's like the meats sweats, a sugar high, dehydration, sleep depravation, and post Thanksgiving meal exhaustion all rolled into one.
Keith, I need you to eat everything at the cracker barrel. I need a true southern opinion on the "southern comfort" food at everyone's favorite truck stop restaurant.
No, Cracker Barrel has a reputation for being the white supremacists’ restaurant. That video might attract the wrong kind of people and we don’t need to give them entertainment.
The location upgrade from the box truck in a parking lot to what seems like a literal castle is amazing. Every time I think the try guys can’t go up any further, they prove me wrong.
I can only really eat if someone else is eating too so I watch a lot of this types of videos but I usually finish my lunch just before he gets food drunk so it’s always a strange experience eating dinner and finishing off the video
Jared really is the ultimate hype friend! He's just stoked to be there and tell his friend that he would absolutely be the best professional burger assembler ever if that were a real thing. Everyone needs a Jared Popkin in their corner!
honestly as a none american I like to watch these a lot - especially when im eating myself - gives me a feeling of comfort and not eating alone // Thanks keith!
I can still remember when Keith was shouting about how Alex was single. Now he's getting married! And the things he bakes has drastically increased in quality too. So proud of this character development.
@@iwillregretthis5127 lol the Alex (Lewis) hate is so weird. Personally I like Alex's appearances and hey he has someone that likes him enough to marry him, so good for him
I'm watching at 3pm, but I also haven't slept in almost 36 hours, so I'll let you know Keith, I have not stopped laughing the whole video. My face hurts, my sides hurt. Everything hurts and I might be dying. Thank you. Maybe this is what I needed to finally get some sleep.
@@abigaila7851 sorry, yes. I got called into work until 10pm, but I got 4 hours of sleep last night. Hopefully I'll get some more tonight? But I've been working all day and have to get back to it at 5am tomorrow :)
Can I just say the Jessica and Huey are the MOST beautiful couple! I paused that wedding photo and I was blown away by the attractiveness. Congratulations to them!!
@@TheyForgotMySalad I understand that. I'm just wondering how you found the song for his wife because I want to hear it as well. This may also help me find other stuff. Thanks.
huge shoutout to production for ordering the food in multiples and not all at once so the employees at applebees don’t have to suffer through that to go order
Also Keith- they do actually grill the chicken in the kitchen (and steaks and all too); however, the “steamed vegetables” are just microwaved in a plastic bag aaaand a handful of other things are microwaved too lmao
@@shybird2688 as a worker there, is there straight up something you'd never get from ANY Applebee's? One thing you WOULD? Haven't been in ages. Worked in food service in a big fast food chain myself 😅 So I get it
@@redvinesron i work there and i would literally never order the ribs… they’re kept in a weird drawer under the grill top, however the burgers are bombbbb
@@starwarsfan5146 wait but like what it is it? 😭 is it like a "marinating drawer" (?) or just a regular drawer you'd fine like in ur house with fucking frozen ribs shoved inside??
Sometimes I think that my early childhood in the Midwest didn't affect me that much, but then I remember that I still think of Applebee's as "fancy" food.
Becky: “is it because we were so traumatized by the other 3, we thought that one was so good?” Keith: “it’s possible” - insert pun opportunity of “it’s PASTAble”
Legitimately, if Lactaid come around with the long overdue sponsorship, Keith should take on the Cheesecake Factory for an ETM. I’d also love to see a California Pizza Kitchen edition. As an Aussie, I fell hard for their raspberry lemonade and their Mac and cheese - it was so dang good! We don’t have the right cheese down here to try to replicate it properly.
I don't know if y'all have velveeta in Australia, but i made a mac and cheese with velveeta, heavy whipping cream, and a little bit of butter (I can't remember the ratios, but I remember 30ml butter lol) and then some salt and pepper to taste and it was a decent copy-cat recipe
I love how in every eat the menu they play a christmas song. This one has the nutcracker. All of the others play Good King Wenceslas. Who is editing is trolling us?
When I was about 5 years old, i went to my best friend's house for a sleepover, and her mother had made deviled eggs which i was OBSESSED with. Her mother told me I could have as many as I wanted because she assumed I'd eat like 3 and be done if i wanted a lot of them. They were for some work party she had the next day. In the middle of the night, like after the national anthem played on the TV and it went to static, I went into the kitchen and ate all 4 dozen deviled eggs and an entire block of cheese, then went to bed. Her mother was VERY concerned the next day 🤣
My friend went to a buffet breakfast with her family. It was her son’s first buffet experience. He was (I think) 8 years old at the time. He took the ENTIRE platter of bacon back to their table. He said he left a few slices on the buffet for others. 😂
@@alexisb534 thats great 🤣 it may have been some kind of easter party in my case, I dont remember all the details perfectly other than eating every last deviled egg and having some SERIOUS egg farts afterwards lol
I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest this, but Keith should eat all of Cheesecake Factory. They're commonly known for having an unnecessarily insane large menu.
9:32 😂 “The video isn’t about how efficient it is, it’s about HOW MUCH FUN KEITH IS HAVING! I’m REVVED UP!” *Alex flinches* “I’ve never been so loud! I’m having a great time! WOOOOOOO!!! What do you think?!” Alex: “I’m scared!” 😂
After the 30 minute mark... It's visibly apparent Keith's body is moving all his energy to metabolize all the food he's consuming. By the 45 minute he is fully lethargic probably because he's eating 38 pounds of Applebee's at this point.
Me: stressed sad and distracted cuz I have a million things to do and no motivation. *opens RU-vid* 1 hour long try guys video. Me: "THANK YOU KEITH" now I can watch listen while I pack and clean.
Thank you for writing this I said "one more video before bed" not realizing this is an hour long... Only 5 minutes in rn and deffo saving for tomorrow 😅
@@redeye1016 if dumb and ignorant is applied to some peoples and some places and not others wouldn't it be racist by definition Also im pretty sure oriental as a term is inherently kinda racist by virtue of bundling together all people cultures and places based on a vague othering definition
@@DimT670 I don’t understand your first paragraph. Yeah, I think it depends if the intent. Racist by definition is prejudice or a antagonistic against a particular race / minority. Pretty sure this was just a bunch of dumb and ignorant people who have probably never left the US and gone “let’s add sesame oil and call it ‘Oriental’”. More stupidity than anything else.
29:00 Applebees employee here. That chicken is actually one of the few items that was never microwaved. It started as a raw chicken breast that was cooked on the grill in the restaurant giving it grill marks.
@@johnshumate8112 Interesting. So they they do take their time to defrost the meat. I was curious because it is a long process if you don't take short cuts like using hot water. Hot water turns it from a 6 hour process to a 30 minute process.
I love how Keith is complaining about the brands never calling then proceeds to later say the fry container looks like a flesh light 😂 gee I wonder why
Honestly, as someone who when to the states only twice when I was I kid, eat the menu is FASCINATING to me. American food chains look terrible. Are you ok guys?
My favorite thing about this series is watching Keith just lose all joy from his eyes and question his existence as he looks into the camera and consumes all the food
Carrots in a sandwich? Yes! Many Vietnamese bahn mi sandwiches definitely have julienned carrots in them, usually pickled. Delicious addition. Essential in my opinion.
I always love when Alex joins.... but what made this appearance even better was Keith saying he felt like he was at a sleepover and they were going to watch Are You Afraid of the Dark! One of the best Canadian teen shows ever!!!
24:12 "The clothes make the man! The Condiments make the burger!" - Keith and Jared. I can't stop laughing. I need this on a t-shirt right now please!!
came back to this video for the comfort content but as soon as Alex came into the picture and Keith said "newly engaged" i went to check the date on the video and thought "ohhhh nooooooo 😬"
I think Keith should start trying some Michelin star restaurants next. I love watching his descent into madness with all the chains but I think our boy needs a change lol
Watching him figure out how to eat super fancy meals and determine what’s it’s supposed to be. Like not telling him what it is when putting it in front of him.
Can't stop thinking about that one time a manager at Applebee's wrote in a company email how he's happy that the rising cost of living means the company can exploit workers during a pandemic and pay them less because they have no other choice but to work more hours so they can pay the bills. :) Thanks Keith for eating all their food for me so I will never have to go there myself.
So glad people haven't forgotten about this! I have never gone to Applebees and knew I never would after that leaked email. Im glad keith can write this off as a business expense and everyone can become aware of how ~*~ shitty ~*~ of a company it is lol
If Alex ever stops doing the bringing cookies to the all you can eat, eating the menu time I will be devastated. Also, Keith's imitation of the are you afraid of the dark theme song was really impressive.
When Keith and Jared said, “The condiments make the burger!” I thought they said “The economists make the burger!” And while I was 100% in, I also knew I had no idea what was happening.
