Many many many years ago, (1983), I worked the breakfast shift at McDonald’s and we were always SLAMMED! The food was real. The eggs and meats were real. Even the butter was real! Everything was delicious. Breakfast was a huge part of the day! The food products today are so chocked full of preservatives which destroys any semblance of real food.

[@markpriest589]

Me, too. Worked several years at a McDonald's in Palos Verdes (which, sadly, isn't there anymore), 1980 to 1984. Breakfast was real, like you said. High quality. I remember, too, the McRib was better because it braised in the sauce for hours and was tender and suffused in sauce.

[@DarkMetalSpider]

agreed! back in the late 80's while still in highschool I worked (at McDonalds) weekends during school, and full-time in the summer. everything is true that you said, and even the biscuits were made fresh, daily. I still even remember the nice, old lady that would make them. she was so sweet.

[@zacharymcmillan2788]

Amen to that sister! Most foods are so heavily processed and filled with preservatives nowadays it's more chemicals than actual food. Go into a grocery store,pick a dozen items @ random and read the ingredients; I'll bet you find one common thing in the majority of them:they all contain high fructose corn syrup or corn syrup solids;why? Because it's cheaper to use them as filler for most food products,to cut their manufacturing costs and turn a profit.

For me, I usually eat something clean and/or simple for breakfast. Almost always fruit, oatmeal, maybe toast, or once on a rare occasion eggs. The issue I have with fast food breakfast is that it shares the greasiness and heaviness that I'd only be comfortable consuming during brunch at the earliest. I feel as though most people prefer a light breakfast, since heavy or greasy foods tend to make you feel lethargic, which is not what you want at the beginning of the day.

Breakfast at fast food generally ends at around 10 or 10:30, so it’s greatly limiting it’s availability to anyone who works second shift/overnight or even people running errands, which most likely start at the very end of that range (at the earliest, given when retail/grocery stores are open). That also means it’s available for only 4 or 5 hours, whereas their lunch/dinner items are available for at least twice that if not a lot more. So the relative buzz seems proportional to me, in addition to lots of other factors mentioned in the video and comments.

I think the reason people don't talk about fast food breakfast food menus is because in general, no one really likes them all that much. They sell well enough because there are always going to be people who are late for work and need a quick meal on the drive to work. But compared to something like a burger which has such a long history in fast food, they've had so many years to perfect the formula. I don't think anyone's managed to crack the code on making "tasty enough for what it is" fast food breakfast items the way they have for lunch or dinner foods.

The majority of fast food breakfast items are almost universally inconsistent in the quality of their offers. New items are only decent on the first few days of the rollout, and falls off of a cliff in a few weeks. The Burger King Croissant is a prime example of this. The croissant was originally light, buttery, and quite flakey, but in a month, they were consistently heavy or on the edge of staleness. Or the McGriddle, sometimes it's swimming in syrup and the bacon or sausage is undercooked every other visit. You're better off going to a local diner. Better food quality and you're helping your community.

As someone from Ohio, Wendy’s has fallen off. I think it’s because they went franchise. Used to be so good but now their burgers feel like cold meat sandwiches or steam table burgers. Just waiting to be served, cold cheese on a lukewarm patty. I don’t care about Wendy’s anymore.

For my experience fast food restaurants are so inconsistent and varied throughout locations that any review isn't really a review on the item in total it's a review on how well that particular store prepared that particular item at that particular time

[@DocBree13]

Completely agree

[@4sakenGol3m]

Great review!!! I tried these a few days ago and this is the first time I felt like I was disrespected by a fast food restaurant. I wasted my money and was not so sure what I was eating (French toast sticks or just plain bread fried). Everything you have said is dead on. I’m very disappointed with Wendy’s on this menu item. I’ll continue to eat at Burger King for my French toasts sticks.

[@darksorra]

The reason breakfast menu at fast food places does not do too many ads other then when they add items is the breakfast menu is 4 hours out of their long day so 6am-10:30am when they are open until 1am most days if not longer. They get the morning rush of people heading to work and that is all they expect. Wendy's was the last to add breakfast they were happy to let BK and McD's fight with the doughnut places and each other. Then well the Broad said they wanted a piece of the breakfast pie too no matter how much it costs them to get into that space.

[@Nanashima]

The biggest patrons of the breakfast menu are elderly people. They don't change it much because they don't like change and still want their business. Something to get them up in the morning. Either for good or coffee. Just to go sit and eat/drink there.

as a wendys employee i can confirm his sticks were overdone. cooktime on these is very short, only a minute and a half so its likely they left these in for probably over 2 minutes. in their prime they are actually some of the best french toast ive tasted.

[@andrewhamel1]

I'm sure by "in their prime" you mean within minutes of it being made as opposed to 30-40 minutes after. I also worked at Wendy's and we both know how well anything coming out of those fryers holds up after even 20 minutes. The fries, the chicken strips.. it all wastes away far too quickly. But if you're making em for yourself during the shift, much better 😂😂

"we're in uncharted territory.... Not really" got me 😂 I also think it's absolutely hilarious that Wendy's is selling bland half slices of toast with syrup, like, we could whip this together in our own kitchens in like 10mins, and it would sure as hell be a better breakfast item than this abomination And lastly, to answer the "why do people brush off fast food breakfast" question, in my family for example, breakfast is 'the most important meal of the day' so we'll usually eat some actual food, maybe some raw veggies added on the side. We try to eat something healthy for breakfast so we have enough energy for the day. :)

[@harryzona1]

Thanks for the review! This looks like something that would be great on a $.99 menu… That’s about it

[@GunslingerFW]

The reason people overlook breakfast fast food is that people can’t depend on how long the wait time is for the food. You may be running 15 min early and end up 20 minutes late to work. The time you may be stuck in line for varies from day to day so why risk being late.

[@dlh1282]

At that point just take 5 min to fry a few eggs and toast some bread or make a breakfast wrap the night before

[@user-nf9te6ib3x]

For your question as to why people don't really eat breakfast at fast food places; I'm from a small European town and we only have McDonald's. Their breakfast stops at 11 and I don't know anybody that would wake up for it. I guess their target demographic is just business people who need a quick bite after pulling a night shift or early birds on the way to work so that's why they're not pulling as many customers. Love your videos and love that you have subtitles on because they help alot :)

[@mqtaidmqtaid]

I can assure you, just seeing it through the screen, that this bread has not been soaked in milk, syrup... nothing. It is what you say, bread with a little unseasoned egg around it and to the fryer. It doesn't cost them anything at least to dip the corners of the bread in some kind of liquid that gives it flavor... they look boring. They remind me of my binge food which is basically toast with margarine... when you're drunk it tastes great and yes it's the most basic thing in the world but I still bet it has more flavor overall than that... at least margarine has salt HAHAHAHAHA

[@seawisp1167]

I feel like they don't give attention to breakfast from fast food because when you think of a restaurant , you usually think of the main item and not something you eat to start your day. That's why people head over when they stop serving breakfast or in my town that's the case

[@ChristinaPlaysAs]

There are two reasons fast food companies focus on lunch and dinner vs breakfast. 1.) advertising for a burger, taco, chicken sandwich has a 66% chance of selling vs the breakfast 33%. Meaning one item can be served 2 times a day vs once. 2.) (this continues off of number 1), for most people breakfast time is pre work, pre 9-5… so during the week there is maybe an hour or two rush vs the lunch and dinner rush, which dinner for people can be anytime from 4 (early birds) till 10 (when people get off work, especially retail). Now here is the heart of fast food: people get off work and they do not want to cook, what’s available quickly, fast food. You may wake up and want to treat yourself to Wendy’s, Taco Bell, or something else, but a person is more likely to feel tired and lazy after work and just pick something up. You don’t have that same feeling on the way to work. It’s rarer.

[@kitty8335]

I think with breakfast, there is a strong minority that deeply cares about the items, and then the general public is more interested in the lunch/dinner menus. I remember it being a big deal when McDonalds made it so you could purchase breakfast items all day and not just before 10 am, people seemed pretty passionate about that change.

[@avgjoeavglife]

Yeah, McDonald's adding all day breakfast was a huge deal and there are some people who care about breakfast items but most people only care about lunch/dinner.

[@DocBree13]

[@captain_zed]

Seems fairly typical for fast food french toast sticks. I typically find them to be overly stiff, greasy and lacking in flavor, even from restaurants that otherwise have great items.

[@SIrWIGGLEsRy]

I personally love Taco Bell breakfast more than the normal menu. I think they do a good job advertising it as well. But I feel as though the Main menu gets more attention because breakfast menus are more limited in the time window it is served.
