Glad you are finally visiting us down under
Can you hear the thunder?" 😅
@@conspiracionesy” you better run, you better take cover”
@@kajoleagle 😉
Mike said he was here like a decade or 2 ago too bad he never filmed here
Can you stop saying down under
the slogan for Hungry Jacks is "the burgers are better at Hungry Jacks"
They taste better. That's 100% fact.
@@mikewhite3670 100%
Nothing beats the whopper though, although in my early 20s I don’t know if you guys remember they had a menu item called “the chicken crunch burger” like almost a decade ago that to me was the best chicken burger they ever made, it was so crunchy I’d get like 3 during lunch and after college too, wasn’t a bad price either too bad they got rid of it 😢
@@thatgirl9532 I remember that an there cheesy bacon tender crisp it was elite
@@Kurt_Choas oh yeah those burgers a decade ago or so in my opinion so much better than the new chicken ones
Melbourne is a food, wine and coffee paradise. So many local and international cuisines represented and offered here. Glad you are enjoying Melbourne!!
I hope you also try Red Rooster Mikey every known CZcamsr seems to miss trying out our own fast food chain. Such a shame because it is actually decent!
I could go for a red rooster quarter chicken and chip pack right now! Although its 6 AM atm.
@@ZeliardFTW hahahaha and they aren’t even open 24hrs 😢
I’m not the biggest fan of roast chicken so I usually get the flayva wrap meal or the spicy burger box the fried chicken/cheesy nuggets is really good, their chips and gravy on point as well
@@ZeliardFTW with pineapple fritter
He has no clue because he only eats Asian food. Dude went to Australia to eat Chinese food and McDonald's.
Pretty sure that is not local food.
@@ndb_1982 WIth the amount of immigration in Aus , there are more Chinese than Aus here ...pretty authentic food here, local Aus food is a melting pot of Chinese , Thai , Philippine, Indian etc - I'm not Asian
Welcome to Melbourne, as they say... "The burgers are better and Hungry Jacks" 😋
The Pineapple Fritters at Maccas are just a seasonal promo. I think you can get them all year round at Red Rooster. 🐓
Can someone please direct Mikey to Springvale or Footscray?
Totally agree!
I wish I could take Mike to Footscray I’m not that far that place
There’s so many places he could eat there but there’s like war for like best banh mi lol & imo I know it
You just can’t beat Melbourne for the best culinary experience in Australia, it’s a melting pot of so many cultures and cuisines that no other Aus city can match! Head out to the suburbs next time and check out Springvale and Box Hill for Asian foods, and Oakleigh for the best Greek food you’ve ever had outside of Greece!
Welcome to Australia Mikey loved this ❤❤
So glad you enjoyed your time in our beautiful city Melbourne ❤
the now in the 90's music on the second burguer, brought tears to my eyes, lol
Welcome to Melbourne! I love that little Thai place! So random that it’s in the middle of a city carpark. I used to go there when I worked at St Vincent’s hospital around the corner. So good!
boat noodles are soooo great. in the top 10 of my thai food favs
Glad your finally visiting Australia and New Zealand.
Delicious 😋 Mike! Happy eating. 😊
12:57 So impressed you called this a prawn and not a shrimp 👍
Welcome to Australia 🇦🇺 😄
Not welcome.
Said the indian guy lmao
@@silverfox97480 i'm true blue aussie mate ;)
@@vijaysandeep5340 It explains the racism
@@vijaysandeep5340Why?
Welcome to Australia 🌏😊
forget the burger boys try a proper fish and chip shop
That last dish looked so tasty.
That seafood platter looked crazy good.
Hey Mike.. Wow! It's amazing when you travel and experience different things. All of the meals were different in their own way. I really enjoyed the hungry Jacks, and the seafood mountain.. Enjoy! 🤤🐞🤗
It did look amazing, too bad I don't really like shellfish, but that said it looked awesome and wish I did love shellfish. Prawns are the only kind I really like.
🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
You have to try the BALSAMIC rice
I love Soi 38! Boat noodles are wonderful but my personal fave are the Tom Yum Noodle Soup with pork and prawn wontons with egg noodles. Found didn’t like the thin noodles as not as flavourful
For more about Melbourne look up the documentary "This is Melbourne...WOW!"
Mike you need to go to angus steakhouse in auckland, phat patty in ngaruawahia, kiwi pies in te awamutu
And Blue Ox Pukekohe
Finally you came to Melbs, so awesome hope you had a good time over in my city.
I miss Australia so much! I spent three months in Melbourne :D! Bruh PIE FACEEEE is so goodddddddd. I also love Maxibons, delicious♥!
Been Melbourne 5 times in the past 5 years and I've barely scratched the surface of food places to try in the CBD let alone the outer suburbs, so you definitely gotta go back for that week you mentioned
We are the food, fashion, wine, coffee and sporting centre of Australia 😅 he definitely needs to come back and explore more. He should go to the 8 apostles too
You need to try harajuku crepes!!!! They’re amazing
Look so delicious ❤❤❤
Mike’s in Melbourne!!
I love that you are exploring Melbourne's awesome food scene Mikey! Welcome 🙂
By going to a McDonalds and Hungry Jacks...
Woaw! You're in Melbourne Mikey! Hope you have a great time here :)
We had pineapple fritters with school dinners in the UK in the 70s.
My eye twitch every time he called it a “chicken sandwich” when it’s a burger.
A lot of people only call beef burgers not chicken
Bacon deluxe is a must try at Hungry jacks for sure!
Had a triple no tomato heavy onion last night. Best burger I've had from his in a while
This!
Glad you made it to our lovely city Mikey…. Had a chuckle at this missing ‘e’ 😂😂
Ohh hell yer he arrived in my country, Hope you enjoy your stay and visit some good places.
Nice to see you down in our part of the world finally Mikey. Bar Luca is a must when you get to Sydney.
As for the beetroot on the burger, it is generally called an 'Aussie' burger at that point. If it has bacon & pineapple as well, it's then called a burger 'with the lot'. Usually best from a local takeaway rather than your large chains.
Why go to a great local place when you can go to a McDonalds which is found all over the world....
Welcome to Melbourne... it's been 4 year 6 months from there
Yeah beetroot is very good on burgers, and so are eggs. I love them ! Always have beetroot from a can in my fridge 100% of the time!
@simonl4252 to compare the two from international locations to his American viewers that will definitely want to know how they're different. In the US it's generally accepted that Mickey Ds is better than BK, but it's the opposite here and it's kinda neat.
Hope you try out red rooster and Oporto too! Both are phenomenal
If you are still in Australia you should try the fried pineapple from red rooster
Great to see one of my favourite CZcamsrs in my neck of the woods!! Looking forward to seeing what places you're going to try out while you're here!
Also you should visit lygon street in carlton
I hope you tried the Hungry Jack chips. They are so tasty.
I’m so happy you liked the Hungry Jacks burgers more than the Maccas ones. Personally, I’ve always preferred Hungry Jacks, so I’m glad I’m not alone hahaha
That broth is so concentrated, it looks like gravy. Wow!!!
The Thai place always has a huge line. Great idea to go there for lunch
Thanks for visiting Hungry jacks Kingsway ❤❤
That seafood platter looks divine. I also wouldn't be surprised if it costed over $60. lol
How jooshy was that burger at McDonalds
So much umami.
Makes you wanna yeet more with every spectacular bite
Parmount Centre has a lot of cheap places in the food court downstairs. Also the cheapest place to get a drink in the CBD.
If you end up in Brisbane on your Australia trip, you have to try Taros Ramen. His fire tonkotsu is incredible!
"The Burgers Are Better At Hungry Jacks."
Well it not hard to be better if you're comparing the burgers they serve in Maccas.
WOW! Welcome to Melbourne! So glad you came! We love everything Asian and you are in for such a treat! ❤❤❤
Great to see you in my home city. You will find the McDonalds chicken and fish burgers are different from the US, they are coated in a fine bread crumb. I'm a big fan. We also have lots of chicken wraps and salads. We often prefer a fully cooked through egg so you don't loose all the egg to the plate.
welcome to aus, enjoy the high prices.
Welcome to my home town!
U need to go to soi 38 for dinner!
you need all that sauce to counter the dry patty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dude needs to lay off the mini bars
Welcome to Australia 🇦🇺
soi38 is gooood
Mate, when you're in Tassie, go to the shop and get a National Pie. Trust me.
10:12 that isn't a house
Gotta say, I do love me some HJs. If I'm getting fast food, it'll probably Hungry Jacks. Used to be KFC, but they've really gone downhill recently. The ultimate double whopper is a thing of beauty
Pineapple fritters are better at red rooster just saying lol maccas was a limited time summer item … seafood platter looked good mouth watering
I worked at Hungry Jack's for a few months when I was 18. The Burger's taste flame grilled because they are... technically. They go into a conveyor belt oven.
Why does he say yeet and not eat?
Mike, my local fish and chip shop, probably like many others have been serving battered beef rissoles for years! Way better than burger bites.
Noooo… wanted Mike to eat at Third Wave Cafe near the seafood place for their massive Ribs 😅
Go back to 7-11 and get that “best sandwich you’ve ever had” again😂😂😂
you need to try a HSP while you're here!!!
Welcome to Australia!! Make sure to visit Cabramatta while you're in Sydney! Loads of delicious food there! 🫶🫶🇦🇺🇦🇺
So much good Vietnamese food in Cabramatta
@@richbuang2I visited for the first time since 2012 when I last visited. Holy moly is it a different place. Not food wise, it’s always had good food. But aesthetically
Pudding is a generic term for dessert.
Come to the Gold Coast. Australia's place for fun and games. Tourism capital of Australia.
Hot cross buns are new for you? Wow!
You didn’t get to experience the best form of hot cross bun though. You put a ton of butter on it
so weird seeing u in melb hahha
The seafood is the benefit of living close to the coast compared a lot of places in the US.
You should have tried more maccas burgers. I forget what they call them but the “special” ones are pretty good. Honesty I couldn’t pick between them. I have a maccas and hungry jacks about 20 metres apart. I just go to the shortest line.
isn't it Melbourne with an e?
maybe try our nandos in Australia ive only heard good things from my visiting US friends.
come to springvale in south east melbourne!
Yes! I've suggested this as well as Footscray. Mikey would love those places.
I live in nz and I've eaten so many hot cross buns in my life. So weird to see someone say theyve never had one.
Glad to see you got the fritters before they went off the menu. They’re limited time things, but they’ll circle back around next year.
Edit: you didn’t get any chocolate soft serve?
Australia is the capital of Thai food - outside Thailand. Queensland especially so.
come to sydney mikey!
Please go to Victoria St Richmond to try out all the Vietnamese 🇻🇳 restaurants there !!!
welcome to OZ. Cheers
Bourke St seems to be the Thai street for some reason? A lot of people in Australia have been over to Thailand so know if it is good and ask for "Thai hot"
You're literally across from my home when you're at HJ.
If you are still around on the weekend, come to the Hawkesbury show, , I’ll be in the brick house van by the cowshed selling Poffertjes ( mini Dutch pancakes)
Mmmmmmm Lekker!
Should have gone to the ones on Elisabeth Street. iykyk
Australia is spoilt for choice when it comes to asian cuisine, being so close to Asia and having a large Asian population no less. Melbourne is %100 one of those places in the country where if you want to experience the food and cafe culture, you could spend weeks trying out different cuisines, types of food etc.
had lunch at that HJs today hahaha
I'm from Melbourne and I've tried those pineapple fritters from Macca's . They're mediocre at best. The fish and chip shops do better jobs. From a chain store then red rooster is the way to go.
you forgot to slather your hot cross bun with butter!
You should come to Tasmania mate. Especially the Northwest plenty of local seafood here. Personally I like turf not surf. All maccas burgers have 100% Aussie beef. There is a local burger shop ( @fully loaded food ) in Burnie, Tasmania that has a burger called “ loaded Mac “ and it’s so much better than what maccas or Hj’s do.
Glad you made it to Australia, did you come up to Sydney?
When you come to syd recommend going to a place called Cabramatta you’ll love it bro love to see you there trying the foods!!!
Or Eastwood
Fun Fact: For many years, there were only 2 Burger King restaurants in Australia, which were both at international airport terminals in Melbourne and Cairns
G'day cobber 🇦🇺✌
