Why Jollibee's Fast Food has Americans Waiting in Insane Lines - Cult Following

[@doedatfeeuhgudbb]

Lol. Tomatoes aren't really sweeter in the Philippines. We just throw a shitload of sugar into the spaghetti.

[@mpowerewd22]

Jon Wallace don't forget we don't even really use tomatoes it's sweet ketchup (banana ketchup)

[@doedatfeeuhgudbb]

Lmfao. Good point.

[@pizzadude9877]

mpowerewd22 yes they do use tomato sause and just added ufc kechup and sprite and shredded carrots

[@conraddevera]

Jon Wallace our ketchup is sweet, banana ketchup that's why it's sweet

[@roberthisus1757]

Nope. we use banana sauce instead.

[@ulyajnagabriellapalma9737]

In my own humble opinion, Jollibee in the states doesn't have that kind of bomb reviews because they're trying to relate the "american taste" norm. Jollibee in the Philippines is DEFINITELY LEGIT. :)

[@denjisoo6825]

of course but i also believe that in the business world, globalization exists. when a company tries to penetrate a new market, they need to study the culture and its preference. for an example, mcdo in usa, malaysia, hongkong does not offer rice but in the philippines they do because it is our staple food.

[@jamesonball]

The one they used to have in Hong Kong was better then US...

[@alexrajcevic7370]

What makes the jolibee in the Philippines so much better?

[@RED_WIRE]

Better foods and better resto. 😊

[@Jeffreelz]

bacause for filipinos living or working abroad specially in america having jollibee is like home. So the reason for that loooooong line outside jollibee is homesickness and pinoy pride at the same time.

Never judge the food by the way how it is supposed to be eaten or the way how it was presented, it all comes down to the way how it satisfies your palate

[@DessertGeek]

I'm most excited here for people being able to have a slice of home in their new home. Sometimes you crave childhood food and don't have the time or skill to cook it, so I'm glad to see more options like Jollibee popping up.

[@Galactic123]

Man you guys finally do Filipino food and you chose JOLLIBEE. Not hating on Jollibee, it's legit for fast food, but there's so many good Filipino places especially if you're in NYC anyway. If you go to Queens just to eat at Jollibee you're missing out on some great legit Filipino food.

One example of how little Filipino-Americans know about Jollibee back home. Dale Talde says that you always find a container of chili vinegar on the table. If he is referring to Jollibee branches, then this is false. (If he's referring to a normal Filipino dining table, sure.) I have eaten at Jollibees at all three main islands and I have never seen condiments on the table; they are set on a counter with the utensils, straws, and the ketchup. There is a finite amount of condiment sets you can take; certainly not one set per table. This is because Filipinos will douse their food with anything that is available, regardless of necessity to feel that they're getting their money's worth, and drive the costs of operation way up. It's kind of like how our KFC's used to have 3-4 thermoses of gravy in a common area, because their American bosses probably imagined we would get what we needed and come back if needed. Uh, that wasn't what happened. All thermoses would inevitably be taken by customers to their table and guarded with their lives while doling out gravy and pouring it down their throats, straight from the container. What KFC did was to install a gravy dispenser in the common area that could not be taken just so that customers would stop molesting the gravy. That's how fast food places are in the Philippines.

[@disco3452]

rdotified but wait you forgot to tell people about how the Filipino people responded to those changes to the gravy container! You know, the one where everybody just ends up filling up plates or whatever container they're provided with with gravy and then drowning their rice in the gravy. But really, how can you blame the Filipino people when majority of them basically grew up (or are probably still in) poverty..

[@mmarvinrobles]

Why is this so accurate

[@markledesma3251]

rdotified in the philippines they give you one small packet of ketchup before the dispensers came out which can really be frustrating as i like a lot when eating burger and fries plus i ask for a side of mayo.

[@moriadine2517]

If they didn't want me to drink the gravy, they should have left it behind the counter. :v

[@slickarificm8901]

6:12 salute to jollibee for letting old people work dispite of their age and to the elderly employee working as a waiter.

[@drunkpekka4284]

I think it's illegal in America to discriminate against age. As long as you can do your job, you shouldn't get fired.

[@spideresque]

I was taking a business class in college when I learned about Jollibee, and was delighted to find that we have a Jollibee in Virginia Beach. I love it. I wish there was one in Norfolk, though.

[@stevonyc34]

I'm Filipino and I don't care for jolibees food except for the chicken skin and gravy. I'd rather support and patronize the mom and pop restaurants which serve better food.

[@ChefRafi]

stevonyc34 yes. Every carinderia would serve better food than Jollibee.

[@hb15577]

Yeah, it's really not that good, even the fried chicken tastes way too salty. Actual Filipino restaurants are so much better

Why in the world is the guy adding vinegar on every food he eats? Sotanghon soup is absolutely delicious and has chicken broth, so why would he add vinegar to it? No wonder the other person looked like she was going to vomit after tasting it. Aside from some of the breakfast food available, there's really no reason why there should be vinegar to use and certainly not on any of the dishes presented here.

[@ShenZA6]

Only filipinos will understand why. I don't put vinegar on sotanghon, i squeeze lemon on it. Acidity cuts the chicken grease flavor in sotanghon

[@samviray3854]

he cant even pronounce it right. smh

[@jushjaralba999]

Yeah. He's weird. Lmao, feels like he's trying too hard to seem authentic (as a Filipino) by overconsuming vinegar. But that's not really how we do it in PH. We make sure the dip or condiment compliments or suits the flavor profile of the dish. Not to mention he's spewing out lies about the food (such as the pies being cooked using the same oil where the chicken was).

[@thevirginslayer5362]

He just put vinegar on the Palabok (Fiesta Noodle) He out of his mind 😂

I'm from the Philippines myself and I didn't realize what a popular restaurant Jollibee is over here in America. I have never been to one before because there's none nearby. Although, back in 2006, the restaurant that my favorite cousin had taken my brother and I to lunch was a place called "Max's of Manila", which served delicious Filipino-style fried chicken just like the kind you'd get at Jollibee. I hope to one day try out their food.

[@rdotified]

Many Filipino-Americans have this thing about 'liking' Jollibee because it's the closest thing they have to the motherland, which is fitting: Jollibee is a knockoff of American fastfood, just sweeter. And that's generally what Filipino-Americans are: Americans, just brown. Jollibee is the only thing they can be nostalgic about, because our culture revolves around "getting to" America and assimilating above and beyond what is necessary. This is why White people love us. I will bet anyone a not insignificant amount of money that, if you conduct an experiment on different kinds of newly immigrated Asian families in America, the Filipino ones will be the first to develop an American accent. E.g. I have a cousin who moved to America in his 30's and somehow he spoke with a Midwestern twang when he came back the following year. Anyway, my point is this: Jollibee is okay. I eat it sometimes, but only when super drunk or high, and I'm rarely happy afterward, if ever. It's just like any other fast food place. Watching these Filipino-Americans do their best to try to make it more than that is depressing. Chinese-Americans, say, can be nostalgic about soup dumplings, or Japanese-Americans can be nostalgic about takoyaki. Filipino-Americans have nothing, and are trying to be nostalgic about sweetened American foods because they feel left out of all this multicultural goodwill in the culinary world. Essentially, they are claiming that a lack of culture is in itself a culture, which is absurd. It's fine for a Filipino-American to say that hamburgers and spaghetti are their favorite foods, but to act as if those choices are the ones made by those who've actually lived back in the Philippines and learned about the cuisine is just laughable. It's a disservice to FIlipino-Americans who actually know their shit and are trying to put our best foot forward, food-wise. In case you're interested, mMy personal favorites are: twice-cooked adobo, kare-kare (tripe and oxtail in crushed peanut stew), papaitan (a goat bile stew), kilawin (pretty much a simpler ceviche), and fried tawilis (a small lake fish, eaten whole like anchovies).

[@rdotified]

+Srujay Purma Three paragraphs? Come on, man. It's just a really long comment. If you want essays, read a magazine or a book. Careful, though: you might get shocked how long actual essays can be.

[@bloonycat8495]

rdotified if you want authentic philipino food go to southern mindanao like in zamboanga Moro's weren't raped by the spanish so they have their own culture. you should try sati pyangang and tyula itum its the best

[@rdotified]

I'm assuming? Uh, you're the one assuming that the opinions of disparate morons (such as yourself) on forums like Reddit (without even specifying a specific sub-reddit) are representative of the opinions of White Americans. A much better metric for that would be the number of Filipino women married to White American men, or even just paying attention to how the media depictions of Filipinos in the mainstream American media are vastly different to how they portray African-Americans ("criminals"), Hispanic-Americans ("job stealers"), or even other Asian-Americans, such as Chinese or Koreans ("tiger moms", "strict grocers". Both of these indicate that Filipino-Americans, while perhaps discriminated upon in individual cases, are relatively "liked" in general. I argued that this could be because Filipino-Americans assimilate quickly, and with so much fucking compliance, compared to other nationalities, who generally try to keep their culture intact, and thus runs into some tension with some White American cultural beliefs. I don't what you're trying to argue for. I don't think you do, either. Just another Filipino on the Internet reducing a nuanced point into clear black and white, for or against Filipinos. I wasn't trying to insult Filipinos, I was simply making an inference from the facts. And even if I were trying to insult Filipinos (of which I belong to, completely), I don't think an idiot like you should be the one to defend it. The strong emotions you feel about an intellectual argument are laughable to me, and indicates maybe you should just stick to videos about that opiate-addled president of yours and try defending the "honor" of our country there. Sa Tagalog: putangina mo, `dun ka sa lugar ng mga tanga. Wag ka eepal dito, bobo. Wala ka sa wisyo, king ina ka.

there's a pinoy pinay in West Covina???? Then again I live like a mile away from the one in Cerritos and Gerry's Grill

[@maram.3356]

Whenever you are homesick. Jollibee will make you feel that yes..I am home😛

[@afifmazlan]

only filipinos eat here lol

[@IMPORTSvsMUCLE]

+The Prometheus Podcast my dad 😂😂

[@wredgefunky]

The Prometheus Podcast you mean "their"

[@taxfree8340]

Says the guy who only eats mush and pita

[@afifmazlan]

what?

[@lizho544]

We don't care.

[@MTene]

gotta give Dale Talde guy his own channel man

[@abc9570]

Hotdogs in spaghetti looks unappetizing same with those clear looking noodles. I'd be down with the fried chicken tho

[@HeroHirou]

Looks unappetizing (to some...) but doesn't taste that way. Try it, it'll hug your tongue.

[@champagnepogi]

Surrey Mane ever heard of rice noodles?

[@abc9570]

Chris Chua I'm just stating my opinion as a non Philipino. They might taste good but from stand point it looks like snot

[@mpowerewd22]

Surrey Mane totally get you. Literally this is the McDonald's of the Philippines. this isn't a great example of filipino food.

[@marixianfb]

Surrey Mane has anyone told you to never judge a book by its cover?

[@tarynh7428]

Some of what the Philippines eat, my ex from Colombia loves to eat - rice and fried egg, rice in scrambled eggs, the spaghetti side dish (with sweeter gravy or sauce)

[@KingZob33]

Not hating, but none of that really looked good besides the fried chicken

[@nerf123dca]

try eating it tho...

[@kangbus]

lol jollibee really isnt good at all. worth trying once but trust me, for that price you'll go elsewhere

[@jamesschafer5747]

I love filipino food, got "family-in-laws" who cook legit authentic filipino food. But Jollibee BLOWS.

[@subwayjonoh]

that fried chicken is trash

[@kagzyy6414]

Filipino food has that reputation... You are not the first to say that, sir. 😂

[@MikeyJunior]

🔱we just had Jollibee Chandler Arizona’s grand opening back in December and it was a real DOOZY! we, arizonaians, are so happy and content with Jollibee coming to town! MABUHAY!🔱

[@joyjoyoo]

Their price is unappealing Sorry to nitpick but this host makes food unappetizing. =/

[@cyrillrappangilinan2810]

joyjoyoo partly yea, and judging from the way he handle the food doesn't really reflect his occupation as a chef

[@joyjoyoo]

Cyrill Rap Pangilinan i actually have no problem with the guy but the girl =/

[@cyrillrappangilinan2810]

I see, it's just a matter of perspective :-()

[@roundfaced9745]

joyjoyoo the price in America is double the price in the Philippines I know because I live in the Philippines

[@scottishroad_pinoy9084]

She does looked grossed out. I mean she is Chinese and they do eat a lot of exotic foods.

[@uforaverwill]

I've never heard of this place but would love to try if the chain restaurant comes to Lancaster PA

[@Arcbuddha]

I don't really see the draw to Joilibee either and I'm Filipino. The only thing remotely appetizing there is the chicken and that's because there are very few options (that are nearby) for fried chicken around my area asides from KFC.

[@adrianmercado3092]

Yeah, Jolibee is so mainstream fast food but it hits the spot. The spaghetti and chicken is addictive. No one has much love for the burgers though, but that's my favorite.

[@jaysato]

im getting sick just looking at them eat all that food

[@thefuumanchuu]

I saw that old guy at the end when I went to jolibee today 😂❤️

[@fgamersinc.7295]

This vid is killing jollibee.

[@flipburly]

Jollibee here in Irvine Ca, it's always the older people who clean the bathroom all the time.

[@anaurmaza5840]

Don't ever include that girl again in any of your videos. She's annoying as hell even though she's just talking.

[@clefac6421]

Anarose Urmaza agree!! And the way she eats is sooo disgusting! She bites on food with her lip curled up and her teeth/gums showing! And she always has this "yuck-i'm-eating-something-different" expression on all her videos! Heck this is a food channel she should at least look happy with the food she's eating and convince the viewers that it's actually good and appetizing!

[@rahinscott]

Watching this at 4am and its making me hungry.

[@Chris_Eatz]

To be honest....the food doesn't look good, and the way the host was eating makes me wanna throw up.

[@Coldheart61595]

Chris Austria true i agree. i only eat the chicken here whenever i visit. but i gave it a try and it is delicious. but the presentation is not good XD

[@vidacromatica]

food is not literature, is sensorial experience, so yea you basically can judge food by looks and this looked terrible.

[@marwin6510]

The chicken and spaghetti tastes pretty decent actually. But the burgers, burger steaks and fries are horrible also they were served poorly.

[@keifercaleanlingan8206]

Lem Cem Here in Philippines.....They actually try and the fries.....well we like em crispy so dont complain ya have to dip it in ketchup for some amazing taste[If it uses Banana Ketchup] Second of all Burger....well try a diffrent one the cheesy bacon one

[@bwooke2438]

We dont tho...especially in the phil

[@dylanr.cerezo4325]

i didnt know it got that popular, but maybe its because its more common in the Bay Area where i live that i dont see these insane lines.

[@TrueFunctions23]

I'm Filipino but I don't like Jollibee

[@mctavishmoto8287]

True Functions then don't eat..

[@penguinmina115]

The youre not filipino

[@gureguru4694]

must be a muslim

[@KindaGeneric]

True Functions thats ok probably your opinion

[@_DeathDreams_]

Why is everyone mocking the guy.. he's only stating his preferences

[@pbabuik]

They just opened one here in Toronto back on april 1st and the line is still on average 4 to 5 hours long

[@HerrOber69]

Don't be fooled people, Jollibee is literally the worst

[@cindycristobal8738]

HerrOber69 just like you?

[@youllneverknowmyname5499]

Cindy Cristobal right

[@noahark6850]

actually only filipinos like jollibee. its a budget food. dont expect it taste better.

[@vinx342]

If Americans doesn't understand our culture

[@redblue9743]

Uhmm Jollibee is not made for poor tastebuds sorry.

[@Enviotonin85]

The truth is people like to queue to try fancy new food. And after awhile the queue will disappeared after they all tried and got tired of it. That is what happens in Singapore, the Jolibee queuing hype lasted for like only 3 months.

[@kyon2221]

second!

[@springlatte4905]

Vinegar is made from coconut water so it's good to add vinegar in any of your fried foods and soups or anything salty actually.

[@thedonald3475]

MEH

[@Raiya_ru17]

I dont eat Jollibee that much but it really feels nostalgic everytime I eat it. There’s something with Jollibee for us Filipinos that I myself don’t feel from eating McDonalds. I love McNuggets tho.😅

[@kapamilyastarshowbiznewsby2511]

wow.. how i wish we could have here also a Jollibee store in Auckland.. It seems fun, nice food and I like the mascot that for sure my nephew would like to play with...Auckland such a boring place and we need something fun here...

[@janiebeauxbanie]

I love Dale!!!

[@SharonLee2600]

The palabok seems more delicious there than in here in the Philippines....

[@Del1nk]

i saw an actual photo if the drive thru sign were some letters did not light up try to spell it out

[@gabrieldelion]

Recently they opened in Dec in Winnipeg Canada and the lines were out the door for almost 3 months straight. takes alot to wait in a winnipeg winter to get food. Im not talking like a fwe min outside I am talking hours

[@WerewolfLord]

Waiting in Vancouver.

[@rommeljefferson6829]

been there, feels like i'm literally in the Philippines, but the second i go out i'm like, "oh, i'm in queens"

[@iasahuman]

jollibee is very very strict when it comes to standard operating procedures. we are like machines in the kitchen that are programmed what to do and what not to do. cross contamination even for flavors is a big deal that's why we use separate oil for frying meats and deserts

[@theLoveRocketjr]

When your mom cooks better filipino spaghetti, you never really need to go to Jollibee for that. Still, it has been ages since I've been there. The only thing I wanna try again is the mango pie, aloha burger, and the fried chicken (Chicken Joy).
