Hope to see more comparisons with Chinese fast food. I think that learning more about any culture is a good way to reduce ignorance, especially since US-China relations are pretty cold right now.

[@CurtExplores]

Love this sentiment! & these videos do a great job of celebrating our similarities and differences.

[@joshchan2642]

Yes,we must set aside the difference between China and the US now!!!!!!cause asap is still no good for any Chinese like this?!?we demand actions immediately!

[@obi-wankenobi8446]

Best bet is to watch some travel blogs from genuine people

[@donovanschoor1473]

Yeah because knowing what trash we both consume is going to mend the actual reason for our current relationship that is mainly political in nature and has nothing to do with populations.....Got it.

[@Gamergodxxxx]

I don't think learning more about Chinese culture is gonna help with US-China relations since the differences are based on the authoritarian governance of CCP and doesn't have anything to do with Chinese citizens who just have to submit before the CCP. Will learning more about Chinese fast food change the government of China ?

[@AlexAnder-yj1qs]

Joe looks so defeated each time it cuts to him in this one haha😂

[@justanobadi6655]

I can understand. the chinese get an okonomiyaki AND a New orleans pie? c'mon american dominoes. step up your game.

[@MajesticOak]

@@justanobadi6655 The foreign branches of the major fast food chains branch out in all sorts of varieties is because they can, meanwhile domestically they have to compete against the local and regional stores, who will outcompete them in that every time.

Wow, China's menu is by far the most different we've seen so far I think. Truly unique flavours and combinations! Looks so interesting.

[@louisbarningham]

Fantastic they got New Zealand lamb, NZ has the best meat😁

[@eiyonlee3114]

@@louisbarningham Yeah, in China we recognize best lambs under the sky come from New Zealand, Hailaer in Inner Mongolia and from Mongolia.

[@slayjae]

I only learned recently that in the US it's common to order one big pizza and everyone eats it together, whereas in Europe the standard is that everyone just orders their own pizza flavour! Maybe this partly explains the larger sizes in the USA 🤔

[@stxrryd]

Americans also have a culture of consuming more leftovers than other countries. We have more options for taking leftover food home from restaurants and opportunities to eat leftover food at lunch for work

[@ericgarcia6074]

There's still some people that can eat an entire pizza

[@slayjae]

@@stxrryd yeah that makes sense! the so called "doggy bag" concept in restaurants spread from there as well i think, that's a really good thing to waste less food :)

[@TheFoodFund]

Love THIS! Thanks for sharing!

[@DustyJones1997BGCL]

When comparing the US to other countries when it comes to certain restaurants, I realize other countries just have better food and healthier options The US at this point is just stereotypical American food. This is why I would love to go try other countries. China seems so decent with their pizzas. Wow! Tianran is doing an amazing job here. Love when the countries get involved ❤ Also Joe keeping Food Wars alive.

[@Kinglioncrown]

Exactly

[@bh4462]

To be fair, fast food in a lot of these other countries are more expensive relative to average income. Of course they'll be better.

[@shiron1158]

I have a very high metabolism. I need to eat around 3,100-3,500 calories a day, so I’ll take quantity any day.

[@fandangobrandango7864]

​@@bh4462 not at all, it's cheaper by a long way in Asia, and generally cheaper in Europe. American fast food is shit because of the lack of food standards

[@jace888au]

I am so amazed at the breadth and range in china. Whilst I probably wouldn’t try 90% of it I’m still intrigued!

[@LoudRevised]

10:39 I love the fact that the crew liked the pizza so much they ate dork slices, and also the fact that the video cut from him holding the slice to the slice being gone (and most likely eaten off screen).

[@marcuslikespie]

You really need to check out Australian Domino’s. It’s another level!

[@tino6440]

Aussie domino's just makes me think of house parties and school/work events. Neither would be complete without a stack of value pizzas from domino's.

[@MrChazz10]

Lol. I'm Aussie and used to work at dominos. I'll admit they have done a big change in the last few years so it's nothing like when I used to work there. It may be on another level according to you but I'm trying to decide whether it's a level up or down as it doesn't really seem to be anything special compared to these pizzas either. Durian Pizza is a first though. Talk about a sh*t pizza😅

[@marcuslikespie]

@@MrChazz10 I mean it’s on another level above domino’s in other countries. I’ve tried it in the UK, UAE, US and Australia and Australia was definitely the best one. There are much MUCH better pizzas out there though 😄

[@louiseed1997]

@@marcuslikespie I would rather go to a local Scottish Italian takeaway, my daughter loves Dominos, but it's really overpriced, and quite bland over here, greasy and not great mozzarella, or sauce. Very bready, hehe.

[@derek6586]

yea, shit level

[@eliasmicheal262]

I’ll never forget my first pizza experience in China back in 2009. I was a teenager and our Chinese friend thought I would like pizza (something American) after being in China for 3 months. He comes back to the apt with like 10 mini pizzas from a local chain. I open one of the boxes, it has peas, diced carrots, corn, and ham. But under the cheese there was this greenish hue. Not wanting to be rude I tried it. The sauce was blueberry sauce! I tried my best to eat it and not laugh my ass off 😂

That kind of pizza is still exist in China you can find them in some supermarket Like Walmart🤣😂

This was fun, interesting, and light hearted. Very nice.

[@jdkgcp]

Well at least now I know the phone number for Dominos in China. Also funny that apparently every country in the world puts potatoes or French Fries on Pizza and calls it "American style". That's never even once been a thing anywhere in America. It's not even an option.

[@TheZenomeProject]

There's one place in the US that I know puts potato on pizza here. Mellow Mushroom. It's quite delicious, too. I think it's in the flavor of those loaded potato skins with bacon and sour cream.

[@jdkgcp]

@@TheZenomeProject So a loaded baked potato pizza. Sorry I didn't include douchey hipster places trying to be "creative". That wasn't the point.

[@redeye1016]

It’s exactly the same as every time America puts “Asian” (Wtf does that mean) or “Korean” in front of everything that just has gochujang in it - or god forbid, “Oriental”. Bout time they had a taste of their own medicine!

[@jdkgcp]

11:00 Reminds me of a pizza that an Italian chain in the UK used to do called the Marco Polo pizza - bread base, hoisin sauce, duck, spring onion, cucumber and cheese. Not quite sure how I feel about it but kinda funny Chinese Domino's also have a version of it

[@tdg6372]

I've had that, can't remember the name of the place, it was delicious though!

The Spinach & Feta is betta if you substitute any other cheese for the feta. With the feta it is an incredibly salty slice, not very nice. The Brooklyn is supposed to be cut into 6 slices so that it can be folded up.

[@ihatekate158]

quite a few differences between different stores within the u.s. alone. I currently work at dominos and we have quite a few more drink options than what was shown. we also do not have dr. pepper as an option. also, dominos in the u.s. does NOT promise a delivery in 30 mins or less as that is very dangerous for the drivers and others on the road. could you imagine someone driving way above the speed limit just to promise a 30 min delivery time?? anyways, super jealous of all the chinese options, as some of them seem way more exiciting than the u.s. options. Also, just remember that the products shown in the video are not fresh. they have been sitting in the studio that they film in for possibly an hour or more. most of the products shown look way different than what a typical customer would receive, even taking delivery time into account. great video, enjoy!

[@slayjae]

30 minutes delivery is pretty standard in places with proper urban density like europe and china, unlike the car centric urban sprawl in the usa
