@@rjw4149 while he might not "add" as much as you see charlie adding, its not up to you or any given person to decide what it is that makes this content special. its up to the people that make the content. I think charlie and matt both seem super happy and energetic to be making the stuff they're making, so to me that is adding as much as anyone could possibly add to a youtube video. especially considering that this isnt a show, or a movie, this doesnt have a producer, this is made by people who are doing it purely for fun
@@JoKa313 If they're not fresh, they're not worth judging. The only time you eat cold fries is when you can't afford to throw away food or drunk out of your ass. The test's flipflop anyways. Should've had the food items in a hot box to keep them warm and second, they shouldn't tell the score out loud. Should be a secret voting. It's not just influencing each other, it's also a lot more fun if they did the tally at the end. Not saying they shouldn't share opinions on the fries, just not mention or show each other the scores until the end.
@@TREVINparty It depends on which 5 guys you go to. I shit you not, I've gotten bags HALF FULL of fries which is insane. However, their lack of consistency results in like maybe 3 stray fries when you order a large sometimes.
Cajun seasoning is a literal cheat code with fries. Piri piri salt is also much better than just regular salt. Get down to your local Lidl and buy these two seasonings and combine them on your home fries. You'll be blown away. Oh, add some black pepper too for extra spice
Taco Bell manager here, it’s essentially taco seasoning but with a little cheddar flavoring added. It comes on our truck in prebagged portions, made by Taco Bell. I believe you could make something very similar at home with the ingredients I’ve just given you
@@kyledodson2992 midsouthbells is our LLC I believe, I’m from Alabama but I know the checks from there. It’s a close by state as well just can’t remember off top
I actually work at five guys, and our process is pretty cool. We fresh cut the fries, and keep them in cold water. When we fry, we use peanut oil and do what’s called a precook. That makes the fry soft but firm. Then when an order comes in, we fry a second time. With the Cajun, my boss always told me “Cover them with enough Cajun, that they are like Dorito chip.” Also for the people that order online and ahead, the reason why we drop the fry’s when the customer arrives is so that when you do get there, you get freshly out of the fryer fries. Not fries that have sat in a bag and become limp and soggy. I’ve had customers yell and complain why their fries are immediately ready as soon as they get there, and that’s the reason. (I once had a lady threaten to call the higher ups on me, because her fries weren’t done as soon as she was there) (Also other note, we put so many fries in there because in our training, the owner said that when we add more, “it makes the customer feel like they are getting a good deal”
The fries should not be firm after a pre-cook. They should be soft, dull, and limp after they have cooled for at least 2 1/2 minutes. After the final cook the fry should have a “firm” exterior with a “mashed potato creamy” interior.
@@DylanJamrozy-jb7sr LMFAO, Yeah, I definitely understand that. But as I tell most customers, "I don't make the prices. I'm here for my paycheck and to get out" 😂 I mean if I didn't work there, no way you'd catch me spending almost $10 for a fry. But then again, large frys are meant to feed 3-4 people, which is something I warn customers about before they get it.
@@SuperDolphindives I mean, not from they told us? The way I was taught to check is to press on it, and if its firm, but has a slight give to it (the fry is dented slightly) then that's a perfect precook. Though I am more used to determining its doness by color. It will be very lightly golden around the edges of the fry.
@@Datoda God damn that long? That's crazy. He truly does feel like the last "RU-vidr" that remains from the og days. Mostly everyone fell off except critical
Charlie will never see this but it would be awesome if you had a mic on everyone. I miss a lot of whats being said because i cant hear the people behind the camera. Love the vids ❤
It's nice to hint what content we can get with membership so your not blindly throwing money without knowing a little of what's offered beyond " extra stuff and unedited videos"
I had a dream last night I met Charlie irl, he challenged me to a mining competition. After several hours of us both digging deep within the earth I came across a forest of emerald gems trees. Amazed I emerged from my tunnel to tell Charlie what I had found, he looked at me with disbelief, then after arguing for some time he finally caved, agreeing to follow me back to the magical realm I seemed to have discovered. Upon entering the cavern he let out an astonished gasp, proceeded to knock me unconscious, and stole all my gem stones. I woke up really confused to say the least.
If they got all this through delivery apps half those prices are probably marked up 20%+ lol. Also I can't even imagine rating cold fries that seems like an awful day.
I’d love to see them tackle a Wing flavor tier list, like get wings from Buffalo Wild Wings and try EVERY flavor from mild to the most hot, that would be a great tier list/ video I feel :)
I worked at 5 guys for like a year and to this day they're probably my favorite fries, regular or cajun, we'd fry them in peanut oil for a minute or so, shake the oil out for about 10 seconds, then fry them again for another 30 seconds to a minute then dump them into big colinders and just put hella seasoning on them, but still i haven't eaten there since quitting because it's so expensive lol
I understand that peanut allergies exist but damn peanut oil fries are just sooooo much better than canola/vegetable oil fries. Not even comparable. The only other fry that can stack up are fries made in animal fat -- tallow, bacon grease, duck fat, etc.
My problem with Five Guys' fries is that they taste like potatoes, and that's gross. The whole point of fries is to mask the taste of the potatoes by cutting them thin and covering them in grease and salt.
@Eyedunno I would agree with you but their whole thing is kinda having that thick mushy potato like inside with a barely crispy outside, although if they were thin cut I do think it'd taste way better
@@Kingolimar354it's a good joke in this context because Charlie & the team are very vocal about women's rights and comfort. So the audience knows they aren't (accidentally) ignoring Chelsie because of her sex, smartass
I feel like a lot of people don’t know this, if you order food from delivery apps (assuming they did bc someone in the background mentioned “before tip”) they hike up the price 10-30%, usually depending on how much said delivery app charges them commission. So going to a restaurant versus app pickup versus app delivery always has a commensurate rise in price. Try ordering food on chipotle for pick up. Then switch it delivery; they use Doordash to deliver. Doordash isn’t charging you $20-40 in delivery fees. The restaurant is charging you increased prices per item to make up for lost income due to Doordash taking 20% of the sale. This whole thing is in reference to the five guys fries thing. I’m to lazy to do my own research but I’m certain the price in restaurant is no where even close to $10 for a large lmao
Yep, i could order same amount of food, with half the price, if i get my fat ass to the restaurant directly. Sometimes ordering on the app is cheaper, because i of discount that is not available on the restaurant themself, but just on the app. But that's how they get you, foot in the door thing.
Yup, and good luck getting refunds/redeliveries if using door dash, or another 3rd party deliverer, doesn't bring you the full order. Talking to their complaints department is more stressful than anything has the right to be.
yeah i work at canes so i get food for free but i got into an accident a while ago and couldn’t work for a while so i would doordash them. the price for a box combo went from $11 to $23+ after all the fees and tips😭😭 i did it tho cause i was down bad and couldn’t drive
Josh Weissman: We've driven to EVERY national fast good franchise to get FRESH fries and numerically rank them on TASTE, TEXTURE and SALTINESS! Charlie: these fries are room temperature and we didn't get jack in the box Never change, moist boys
Did he review burger king? Cause I speeded through the video but I didn't see it. (I kept skipping 10 seconds ) Their fries are good, for me at least in my area. So I'm wondering why not on this video
This is for the seasoning if the tacobell fries that people say is the closes to tasting like them. 1 Tbsp. Cheddar Cheese Powder 1 tsp. Sweet Paprika 1/2 tsp. Cumin 1/4 tsp. Coriander 1/2 tsp. Chili Powder 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder 1/2 tsp. Onion Powder 1/2 tsp. FINE Kosher salt (Coarse refuses to stick to fried foods) 1/4 tsp. Fresh ground Black Pepper Cayenne pepper to taste (bare minimum 1/4 tsp.)
I will die on the Wingstop fry hill. The problem is that they’re hit or miss, so you will either get the best fry of your life or you’ll get a melted cesspool of oil. Plus you can get Parmesan cheese on top 👌
You forgot Guthrie’s (Tampa has them). They are the direct competitor to Zaxby’s and the most comparable as they both give a side of slaw and toast with their chicken finger boxes and have very similar sauces. In fact… Zaxby’s founder based his business off of Guthrie’s when he was attending college in GA; and Guthrie’s is still the smaller chain of the two despite it being much older than Zaxby’s. While not a massive difference between the two, Guthrie’s is definitely better imo, even on a bad day. Guthrie’s did for a while (way back in my teens when I worked there), put a crap ton of MSG in their recipes; and it was to the point I recall being directly instructed to just “dump that shit til my heart is content”, lmao. That stuff was addictive to say the least, and made you thirsty af; but could give headaches out the wazoo if you ate it too much/often for some people. Also for those who might be readying an MSG rebuttal: Yes, I’m aware that MSG migraine/headache myth was largely debunked, but it’s the amount that they used back then that was the true culprit. Any kind of massive change like that would cause electrolyte imbalances; so it wasn’t so much the MSG as the amount of it being introduced that caused the cranial pressure issue for some people. Anyways, Guthrie’s current fries (crinkle as well) are still better than Zaxby’s to me at least. The seasoning/quality&texture of the potato is just simply better there, idk why exactly, but it is. Also… side rant: Ya’ll really need to do these as fresh as possible, especially things like fries. Like within 10 minutes TOPS of ordering fresh. It’ll be annoying/difficult; but it can absolutely be done/coordinated. Just have it come in waves of 4 businesses, and map out the routes/times. For an example of why you should be doing them properly fresh: McDonald’s is easily S tier when fresh and it’s not really debatable. Coincidentally, they are usually trash after the 7-10 minute mark… who knew? Lol.
i know the word's meaning got lost in a sea of garbage viral videos, but what you describe is practically the og mukbang, where someone broadcast themself eating food and talking as if the watcher and the broadcaster are eating together, it is a really soothing and just overall a wholesome entertainment
used to work at taco bell and can confirm the seasoning is basically just taco seasoning (they also had the formula changed recently due to a deadly sodium warning)
Fun fact: 5 guys add extra fries in their bags to make it look like you get more than you paid for when in reality your getting just as much as you'd paid for
Just letting you know that the Taco Bell fries are permanent in Europe. And the reason for that is people don't really like nachos in Europe. Though we miss out huge on Baja Blast, which is not a thing here.
you know if your going to keep doing these I would suggest getting one of the insolated bags so that it keeps your food warm for you, but I love these vids man keep it up!
Five Guys fries are probably my favorite. I love how they look you dead in the eyes while they fill the cup to pour it in the bag and then fill the cup again. Wish I could get some fries right now. 😂
As someone who works in the kitchen at Chick-fil-A once the waffle fry is out of the fryer for 10 minutes they go soggy, their heat lifespan lasts 5 minutes under a heater and 2 minutes away from the heater
These videos make me go crazy on how few fast food chains Massachusetts has. We basically have McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell, and.... I can't think of anything else really.
Charlie and Matt loving the cheese curds makes my Wisconsin heart burst. Culvers is a goated fast food restaurant, I like their fries but the the burger and cheese curds is where its at
THE SONIC DISS IS SOOOO REAL!! as a former Sonic worker, everything is frozen then deep fried or grilled. The ice cream is even sketchy. All I can really recommend is the drinks.
