FRANCE FAST FOOD! McDonald's vs. Burger King TASTE TEST in Paris France

About 6 months ago I was diagnosed with a chronic GI disease and I love/hate watching your videos so much. I liked watching them before but now it’s like some secret pleasure I have bc there’s no time in my future I will be able to eat the things you do without severe pain consequences. I’m glad your content features food that is usually very far from where I live bc then the excellent greasiness is already unattainable and not just by me stopping myself lol

[@lottie9395x]

Omg I'm the same, can't eat anything with onion or garlic anymore so now I'm living vicariously through these videos 😂

[@danii5653]

What’s that ?

[@kmackblack]

@@danii5653 I’m assuming you’re asking what a chronic GI disease is, but if it’s something else you’re asking just let me know. A chronic GI disease is a disease in your gastrointestinal system that will never be cured. The most common examples are IBD (irritable bowel disease) Chron’s, and ulcerative colitis.

[@tylerl3578]

I love putting your videos on while I eat dinner. Makes me feel less alone. Also now I have a premium instant ramen addiction, thanks for that.

Chocolate fondant is a lava cake. They are different names for the same dish. What were you hoping for?

[@lolilollolilol7773]

In french, it's not very well defined. Sometimes we call them "fondant" (aka "melting"), sometimes "coeur coulant" (meaning "running heart"). Sometimes "fondant" is also used for another sort of chocolate cake which isn't a lava cake.

[@jaratt85]

[@shirleyw8720]

I still remember two fantastic meals I had with my family about 50 years ago as we were driving from England to Spain through France. Pa looked up the places to eat in the Les Routiers guide. Just fantastic! Not expensive or sophisticated, but the food was nothing I’d ever eaten before. Pa and I had a whole huge plate of prawns between us as my mother and sister didn’t like the idea of them. We were covertly watching two men on the next table sucking the brains out. We weren’t quite brave enough to try that :)

[@kuhnhan]

They allow them because they make money. I've been to France a few times and while I did enjoy some very enjoyable fine dining meals, not every meal needs to be that. Sometimes I just wanted a quick and relatively inexpensive bite. I went to McDonalds, got a cheeseburger and fries and was on my way.

[@jazztronic10]

there was a huge push back back in the day when McDonald's first implanted itself in France and lets be honest, we're still pretty anti American on principle generally speaking, but these places are so implanted in every day life now there's no reason why we wouldn't allow them. They make money.

[@nikolasincorporated]

I was in Italy three years ago. I ate at McDonald’s one time in a train station to get something quick and I had the best double quarter pounder I’d ever tasted. I thought it was a fluke. For science’s sake, I sampled McDonald’s two more times during my two week trip. Every time was delicious!! I was jealous of them.

i tried french mcdonalds in 2008 in amboise on a whim, they had basically the same menu as the us mcdonalds but the cool thing was you could order beer(!) with your meal! i had a big mac, filet-o-fish and fries and i have to say that the quality and flavor was much better than what we get here in the states. my guess is that the us locations get their supplies after they have become a little stale...

[@ManMan-ul1pn]

That’s not true. The supplies for the us and for France are produced in completely different locations. McDonald’s uses American meat in the us, British meat in the UK and EU meat in the EU

Simply don't eat at McDonald's in France, it's not worth it. Even that nutella donut isn't worth it. It honestly didn't look good to me. If you HAVE to go to a burger chain, it's Burger King all the way. But you'd eat far better if you took your burger at a café or any restaurant but a chain.

Whenever Mikey eats at a fancy restaurant serving tiny servings of food in large plates, you know it's the girl's idea to eat there.

[@Aevilbeast]

LOL, the same exact thing I was thinking! His channel and videos have been slowly changing with her influence. A lot more fancy dining, and him visiting a lot more European destinations. I like that he's expanding and trying out new cuisines, as i wanted to see him try out more western cuisines, but personally I love it best when he checks out a countries street food scene and see what the majority of people eat there on daily basis, instead of super fancy and expensive resturants that only a small percentage of people get to enjoy. Nothing wrong with enjoying the fancier things in life, the man has definitely worked hard enough to deserve it, but it's so much of that kind of cuisine is literally just expensive for the sake of being expensive, a status symbol or a way to show off and is nowhere near as enjoyable as small little hole-in-the-wall restaurants where people make food not to impress but to enjoy.
