How Good is Hungry Man's NEW Double Chicken Ranch Bowl?

As a kid, we hardly _ever_ ate TV dinners-too expensive my mom said.
HOWEVER, once a year, the Wizard of Oz would be on TV, and we kids took our baths, put on our jammies. Mom broke out the TV trays (flimsy metal tray on really skinny legs), and we'd have ... wait for it ... TV DINNERS!!! We thought it was the GREATEST! 50 years later, I still fondly remember these evenings.
What a nice childhood :))
We watched Wizard of Oz too while eating Swanson Dinners the old kind with metal tray made for ovens. They were way better quality, too. I loved the little actual cobbler dessert that used to be in them. And we had these TV trays you could put on your lap.
that sounds like an awesome childhood tbh
Awww that sounds so sweet
Your story somehow feels nostalgic to me
Even tho this probably happened before my mother was even born
But i am getting a nostalgic feeling nonetheless
Im trying out the recently divorced man diet so this would be perfect
Ayee..don't forget while you're at the store to shoot your shot at a hottie..you may not be single for to long 😉
You will be looking for recently diagnosed diabetic diet if you eat this food
congrats ! lol
Lol well are you cute cuz I cook from scratch😂😂😂😂😂
I think he's just trying to flaunt his divorce and make some of you jealous.
Thank you Larry...I'm 60 and remember the aluminum tray dishes and they were a "special" treat to have and they definitely made the food better at the end of cooking back then...not at all soggy like today and to this day I still put all my TV dinners in the oven....it just tastes better.
Absolutely!! Those were the days, my friend! 🌈🌈🌈
@@patriciahaskins1956 Thanks Patricia...this is my memory and at my age...there's not many left.
I just commented yesterday how much I hated those trays. The food was fine (when I was 5 anyhow), but those trays stayed hot for about 3 years after they came out of the oven. I don't even know how many times I burned myself on those things.
The cobbler desserts are probably still hot now.
Yeah looking at those photos makes it seem like manufacturers these days put slop in their packages.
@@jackperry5205 That's literally what they're doing. The "bowl" crazy is a cost reduction that I'm pretty sure has at least somewhat sensible roots. I never saw one of these things before Chipolte became a popular chain and started offering "naked" burritos, so much lower carbs, in a bowl instead of a wrapper. Then it seems to have become the cool thing to do as that brand exploded.
Dunno... Just my observation on it. First time I went to a Chipolte was probably in the mid-00s and it was new to me to see a "bowl" menu item, then within a couple of years it seemed like they were everywhere.
They should just drop the illusion and change the name from tv dinners to tvp dinners
Cell Phone Dinners
TVP dinners ... what a GREAT comment !!
Lol
just name it Netflix dinner, for the sake of modernization
She scraped the “grill marks” off the patty lol 😂
*long pause* HEY EVERYBODY *me dying after turning up my volume thinking it was down*
I always pause the video thinking it was already paused.
Same.
I remember in the early 50’s my mom brought home Swanson Turkey TV dinners package in aluminum trays, with aluminum covering on top of the dinner.. ! I was amazed at that ‘new invention’.
The top food dude at hungry man factory, "this wolf so and so guy is killing us, we need to rethink the recipes"
Omg I'm dead 😂
DollarTree is saying "Sir our Profit margin is up 30% due to this WolfeMan Guy!!"
Well he certainly had an effect on Chefs Requested or Pierres or whatever brand that was that went out of business after he showed how terrible their products were. Burgers that were white inside? Yuck!
I was losing it. Didn't hear music!!!! I remember when it was replaced with a new theme a couple years back...sounds weird not to have it.
idk what u mean the music plays all the time on every video
noticed it too, beginning sounded off
or, lack of sound thereof
Same. Didn't hear the intro and thought my sound muted for some reason
@balthorpayne My first thought was to turn up the volume on my phone. It completely weirded me out not hearing the cool theme song. 😆😆😆
balthorpayne ikr? It’s so disconcerting without the background music
"She pulled out Lorena Bobbitt's favorite utensil and cut away...thankfully she was cutting the plastic"
I died right here lmao
I did too! I'm glad someone caught that haha! 😂
Swanson's TV Dinner back in the early 70's...set up the tv tables, turn on the 1 tv channel we had and pray something good was on. Most likely it was Salisbury steak and we watched Hockey Night in Canada.
Yes ! Eating TV dinners out of the foil tray in front of the TV on a collapsible TV tray table watching Walt Disney !! Oh the 60s !
Thank you for eating that so I don’t have to🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Amen
He does it for we, the people ;-)
I’m eating It right now wish me luck
OMG! TV dinners were such a treat when I was a kid! I used to beg for them. My mother always believed in cooking at home she was one of those old-school moms, going to McDonald's was like Christmas, Easter, and my birthday all in one growing up.
There was a Morton’s Frozen food plant near our home when I was a kid. It was a treat to go to their outlet store with my mom and pick out tv dinners. She would get a stack of them and I would eat 1 while the rest of the family got “real” food. I thought I was special, but look how I turned out.
They need to think out of the box and use like 75% less salt. lol
It's the only way they can make this shit is to load it with flavours and salt
@@superbad3591 these companies are too lazy to try to figure out that you can make things extremely flavorful without so much salt.
It's expensive to do so, would hurt the price point.
@@jaguarfacedman1365 LOL no it's not.
The sodium count in this meal is perfectly acceptable Its 10 percent less than a lethal dose
Uhh Oh.. I shouldnt've had seconds.
Recommend dose not lethal dose u dipshit
@@brandonupchurch7628 Drink plenty of water and position yourself over the shitter
How did no one get what they were saying 🤣
@@kytrippie921 twas a Futurama reference, friend.
That salt level... yikes... Someone at that company really needs to tell them to lay off the salt and lower things down to normal levels.
Fr, I pass on all hungry man meals And most banquet ones as well because of salt content.
I like the pictures of the old-fashioned tv dinners, Thanks Larry!!! :-)
Those aluminum trays were part of the fun when I was a kid. You knew you would get a rare treat after the hour long cook.
“Mrs. WolfePit removed all the plastic.” She forgot the rest of the meal.
I'm so glad that Larry's doing lots of videos lately...I absolutely love these!
Those sodium numbers are insane lately you are correct, 85% DV???
The background music needs to be renamed "Ballad of TheWolfePit." Love you and Ms. WolfePits work Larry. Keep it up, for us, the people.
One day, the words _Texture Vegetable Protein_ are gonna be replaced with: *_Four Meat Slurry Concoction_*
I hope!
He says formed meat slurry concoction, not four
No thanks. I like not being small and frail. Meat does a body good.
monke
And helps fight flab!😎
@@Scourge88Monastik14 so does the gym, but people hate it there lol.
not having the music at the beginning is really offputting... am I addicted?
I felt the same lol
In all my years of cooking and eating, this is the first time I have heard of ranch potatoes. Some people call those hash browns and some breakfast potatoes, but I never heard them called ranch, so I would have thought they meant ranch flavoring too. Kudos to Larry for calling them out on putting everything in bowls now so it ends up as a heap of slop.
They are ranch seasoned, lol, they're just chunky mashed potatoes, I've had this meal several times, just had one last night, the name on the box is literally chicken bacon ranch 😂😂
"She pulled out Lorana Bobbit's favorite utensil..." oh man. I laughed for way too long.
You have ate so much preservatives I have a feeling that your body will be still preserved, even a few hundred years after your passing.
7:56 why the hell would you say "spongy moist mattress in a nursing home feeling"... now I'm going to think of that every time I eat :P
Literally love this corner of the tube. Unpretentious and fun. And if your here you eat bachelor chow and can’t help but laugh.
And if they put it back in aluminum trays I could get scrap value after dying more.
Bring back the Aluminum Trays. They were the Best & yes I aslo thought they were a Special Treat, not to mention the food was better back then.
Could you microwave them?
Good idea, put a metal tray in Your microwave.
PetHub no
James Conroy you dont know how to use an oven? or just assume that all foods must be cooked in a microwave?
@@893263007 There was no such thing as microwaves back then.
The sheer amount of salt in modern prepared food is vulgar, along with the amount of sugars in bottled drinks and juices.. frankly should be illegal. I'm not one for a nanny state environment, but it's getting impossible to escape the over salt and over sugar in everything. I work in grocery store and I stopped reading labels anymore.. it's just too depressing.
Big old thick line between "nanny state" and "protecting the populace from poisons disguised as food".
You guys are making this seem like there's no obvious solution here... Don't buy prepared foods.
I don't need a law telling me that I'm allowed to cook my own food and that it's probably better for me.
@@TheBrokenLife you are making it seem like every person in the US has the wherewithal to buy and prepare for themselves a healthy nutritious meal. There are plenty of folks who can't for whatever reason. In a first-world rich superpower country, standards should be set.
@@TheBrokenLife like I said, I feel ya there. I really do. But.. there is an FDA.. for some reason. I'm not sure what anymore, but on paper it does exist to regulate the basic food safety.
@@ChiefSlacc In a free nation, those standards are to be set by YOU.
I hesitate to call you guys a bunch of Karens, but you're working on Kar-- pretty hard.
I have not tried this particular bowl (it is not available in my area), but I tried one with breaded chicken and mashed potatoes. Once was enough for me! Thank-you, Larry, for trying these and sparing the rest of us so much indigestion (and possibly worse).
I also loved the vintage TV dinner images -- I am just old enough to remember them being in aluminum trays and heating in the oven.
Watching while eating homemade spaghetti n meatballs.
The meat slurry sends me to a dark place everytime.
I really thought the plasticu was going to make a comeback for a second :(
Goodness this reminds me of the sub from subway I was in line waiting and this big dude ordered a chicken bacon ranch sub and it was monstrous! I’m talking about extra chicken and extra bacon with.. you guessed it extra ranch dressing.
Lorena bobbitt's favorite utensil. Hahaha. The best illustration ever
For some strange reason this throws me back to those Taste O Sea frozen dinners we used to get when We were teenagers. My dad being a veteran of WW2. Knew how to both catch fish & how to cook them. Not impressed with modern day TV dinners. Never was in the Navy, but, know how to cook seafood. Thanks for the input on TV Dinners.
I absolutely agree so freaking much. I detest how they are putting every item into a bowl. it’s lazy and cheap of them to do it. The segmented trays are so much better. There are lots of people who have phobias about their food touching but even without the phobia is disgusting because then everything cooks into each other in turns to mush and with all the stirring that they say you have to do it pretty much ruins everything. I like my mashed potatoes and gravy to be separate from everything else and not one big pile of goo.
I was wondering if my phone had a problem because your music was off.
I was thinking the same thing. 🤣🤣🤣
“Lorena Bobbitt’s favourite utensil” LMAOOOOOOOOOO
5:21 Scraping off the painted on grill marks!
4:59 i love how you talk about yourself in 3rd person
them old school tv dinners look real good way better and looked like actual food nothing overly processed
Since I don’t like for my food touch, I’m never eating one of these bowls. Yup, I miss the aluminum trays.
Good idea. Put a metal tray in Your microwave.
I’m not as young as (I’d assume) most of the audience is but not as old as you either. Funny enough I remember TV dinners very specially as well, but we were passed aluminum when I grew up but it was before the cheap crap they used to sell now. On special occasions we’d walk a few miles up to the shopping center near our house to go to blockbuster (first, before they ran out of the best movies), then get ice cream, and after finishing it walking over to Safeway to get our TV dinners before we walked home. I think about it sometimes and cry about the purity of it, I still wandering the isles looking at N64 games and remembering that one time my dad accidentally left me get an M rated game and my mom didn’t notice until she walked in and lost her s**t at the alien gore on the TV haha. I’m not the kid I used to be but I look forward to these videos all the same and buy the stuff you review positively and stick it in the freezer to eat when the wife’s not around lmao thank you for what you do.
In my house, TV dinners were a treat too
I'd like to see you sometime make home-made versions of some of these meals, with quality ingredients and real cheese sauces. I bet this would be friggin amazing if done right, from scratch.
Just tried this yesterday, it was so sour you're better off eating the box it came in and throwing away the meal. 😆😆
:I am the people.
: Snaps finger...
"Lorena Bobitz' favourite utensil"
Lmfao good one
I assumed it was ranch seasoning as well. I thought one for my kids (adults) mind you will put ranch and hot sauce on EVERYTHING.
Everybody does that now. I don't think people even know what food tastes like anymore because they have to dip everything. I swear you could dip a dog turd in ranch and hot sauce and they wouldn't even notice. They'd just think it was a boneless wing.
@@greyeaglem I try to avoid dipping stuff most of the time just to avoid that stereotype
How am I literally the only person in the comments, even all these years later, commenting that these verrrryyy clearly are DEFINITELY ranch seasoned, that's obviously what the "slightly bitter" doll flavor is, lol. And the box clearly says chicken bacon ranch, not ranch style potatoes
6:30 “at this point, they looked delicious and I wanted em’ in my mouth”
That’s what she said.
Balls
When I heard "Lorena Bobbitt" I remembered a bunch of jokes from times past 🤣
Frozen food is never very good, but this meal was absolutely atrocious. Felt personally violated and could only stomach one pattie
You know what's more frustrating than eating those meals? Taking that f**king plastic off in one piece.
It always shreds. It's as bad as those sandwiches you buy in convenience stores that you can't open without a pair of scissors. Who carries scissors around?
I've seen that video and I would like to say RIP Grant of the Mythbusters. Also Larry, you rock!
I've been looking for this weekly for like 4 weeks now and have yet to see this one. I will keep looking though.
4:52. Maybe they are using a microwave with a lower wattage than you are.
Mr. Wolfe pit.... that is why they put on the directions the phrase " microwave oven cooking times may vary"
Right, and I'm confused about the no oven directions, unless they've changed, I had one last night, and it had oven directions (I cooked it in the oven) and the bowl hasn't changed, not sure, but he might have just missed them, but they could have added them, hot Pockets didn't used to have them, but they do now. Btw, if you heat hot Pockets in the microwave, you are a monster (in my humble opinion 😅😅)
Daamn I been waiting for you to do this one. I think it's awesome. I was hoping you would too. Ya cut me Larry ya cut me deep 🤣🤣
hungry man tv dinner:who are you
hungry man microwave bowl: I'm you but better
That Lorena Bobbitt joke was hilarious!
I was going to say... No killer music???
But... It swelled in. Perfectly!
Thanx Larry...once again!!!!
For your info!
How he convinced a whole comments section that the mashed potatoes weren't ranch seasoned even after showing the back of the box where it says "savory ranch seasoned potatoes" and lists all the ingredients of ranch seasoning 😂😂 "The greatest trick the Wolfe ever pulled off was convincing the comments section the ranch seasoning didn't exist"🤣🤣🤣
I must have died and went to Heaven. 3 Wolfe Pit videos in 2 days!!!!!
The aluminum trays of yesteryear were the best! They were the reason we had TV trays. On family movie nights they were a real treat. I remember waiting and waiting for the 45 minute baking time to pass, then I would dive straight into the desert. It was usually something gooey like a chocolate brownie, or apple compote and I would burn the roof of my mouth because they were nuclear hot.
The missing background music at the beginning scared me , I thought it was gone forever 😨
Wolfpit be sounding like a robot lol. But like the videos 😂
this is my favorite variety of those, only problem i found is sometimes the chicken gets over cooked and tough, so i usually do it for less time then they say
Look what Big Bird did on your plate!
"Hey everybody, Welcome back to TheWolfePit .. with another episode ooof What are we eating?" 😂
This looked so good lol I’ve been pretty much living off frozen food for the past week and I can feel what it’s doing to my stomach man, loved your video as always Larry (:
The reason they plop it all in one bowl is because the machinery to perfectly deposit it into five separate areas would cost more money
That makes a lot of sense
McNuggets being made in a Tyson plant?
Well, now I know and knowing is half the battle.
Bless mrs wolf pit and her patience!
Boneless, skinless chicken breast makes up the most often served protein by meal in our household, but what I don't understand is the abundance of recipes that call for adding things like cheese and bacon to something that would not need it if the skin was not removed in the first place.
I'm missing the "You, the people" photo with the picture pointing lol.
I ate one today, and 100% agree!
I could not get over that bitter flavor.
These last three meals all had high potassium levels which help offset the high sodium. Previous high sodium meals you've rated haven't had any potassium at all.
So is that why they can have mountains of sodium yet Wolfe still says the food (or some of it anyways) is bland/doesn’t say its super salty? The potassium?
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Wolfepit. I love your videos.
we got a hungry man bowl recently, yet to know who's it is. I am debating about trying it
Im serious I've been watching you so long now I can LITERALLY CORRECTLY guess what you will rate the food before you announced it😂😂😂😂 And on G i mumbled 4/10 and 2 seconds later you said 4/10😂😂😂😂 Gotta love this channel🤗
Omg it was a treat back then! And agreed they were so much better in the regular oven in the foil pan! And much more attractive too.
I wouldn't be eating any processed foods anymore. The USDA has told companies they don't have to list what's in their food anymore due to food shortages. So the ingredients on the box don't have to match what's in the product. No telling what we are eating.
You're the man Larry! Never stop making these
I'm not going to lie, it looks really good 👌
Wonder why they throw so much salt in the food? For me anyway, that's a turnoff.
Wolfie with that 3 day upload in a row. Idk what we did to deserve this
It is not the same without the music because I always have that tune stuck in my head.
TV dinners were a special treat for us kids back in the 70s...before salt was a thing! Formed meat slurry concoctions must be welded together with sodium these days. Be nice if there were some veggies in the bowl for colour at least.
Love the Lorena Bobbitt reference!
The advantage of the bowls is that they are mostly biodegradable.
I actually liked the Banquet Country Fried Chicken bowl he reviewed a while back. The closest I'll ever get to a KFC Famous Bowl because EBT food benefits are pretty much all I have.
Christopher Morin Popeyes > Bland ass KFC
Aluminum is 100% recyclable
Douglas Eugene Reisinger II Sure, but the problem is aluminum can’t go in the microwave. And while many TV dinners taste better out of the oven, the reality is that microwaves are the more convenient and sometimes only option. (Eg breakrooms, dorms)
@John Syzlack There’s way too much plastic waste in this world already. Sure, plastic can technically be recycled, but it more often than not isn’t. And even when it is, the reality is that this process is relatively energy intensive. (eg far moreso than recycling metals)
GOOD WORK!!!!! THE OLD SCHOOL TV DINNERS IN THE FOIL TRAYS/FOIL TOP/OVEN COOK ONLY,WERE BADASS BACK IN THE DAY,VERY CLOSE TO HOME COOKED!!!!!! VERY FEW THINGS COOKED IN THE MICRO-WAVE TASTE GOOD!!!!!
I never eat these things but I watch your videos anyway.
Larry idk how I do it but every video you have posted for the last 3 months iv gotten your score perfectly. lol maybe I'm just understanding your feelings about these meals by how you talk about them. Its starting to become almost like a game to me. I guess a number and boom.
Run for President Brotha Wolfe!!!..
When we got TV dinners, mom and date had date night that evening and we put ourselves in bed. The good ole days. Miss the corny TV shows way back then.
Dude when it was tv dinner night I was pumped!
Thanks to you I am in hog heaven! a Dollar Tree Store just opened up across the street!
