11:12 McDonald's decided a long time ago that a half slice of cheese was perfect. They didn't want the cheese to overpower the taste of the fish. I can't eat the beef at McD's for some reason. So, when I eat there; I always get the Filet-O-Fish. It's solid!
The energy in NYC is different. You can feel it 24/7. Yes get some deli, but skip the reuben or the triple deckers and get a simple pastrami sandwich. Go to John's or Arturo's for pizza. Get a steak. Go to Keen's, Lugers, or Gallaghers for lunch. I also think going to the grand central oyster bar and sitting at the bar or the counter for a dozen oysters and a sea scallop pan roast is one of the best NYC experiences. Maybe include a bagel, a bacon egg and cheese, a hot dog, or a chopped cheese from a bodega.
Greetings from Connecticut, and welcome to the Tri-State area. Enjoy your time here. If you get a chance, come up to Little Italy in the Bronx, also known as Arthur Avenue. You'll find good Italian and Albanian food in the neighborhood.
Filet of Fish is on my all time fast food bangers, criminally underrated and will always be S tier for me. If they ever get rid of it Im' going to boycott McDonalds for the rest of my days.
@@Golden_Girl7123 Lol, I partially agree with this. Arby's fish sandwich is really good as well. I rarely hit up Arbys though because there arent any close to me but on the rare times I get out that way it has never let me down.
BEN DEEN IS THE MAN.. THAT MCDONALDS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GAS SO NOW I'M HUNGRY BUT KEEP IT UP YOU HAVE A REAL AUDIENCE/FAN BASE BEHIND YOU SUPPORTING EVERY VIDEO. WE LOVE YOU MAN
It's not just the additives, that are illegal/banned in other countries, but also the quantity of sugar in everything. The buns, for example, have 6 times over compared to European buns.
What's illegal in another country is just that country controlling its market. The whole "legal in the US but illegal elsewhere" isn't really an argument.
@@TickleMeElmo55 What? it's illegal because it's a a recognized obvious health hazard. It's absolutely an argument. Why would you defend poisonous chemicals in your food? Have they gotten to your head?
From the Coca-Cola website about the difference between Coca-Coke Zero and Diet Coke: Coca‑Cola Zero Sugar looks and tastes more like Coca‑Cola original taste, while Diet Coke has a different blend of flavors which gives it a lighter taste
Filet o fish is my fav. I miss when it was on the value menu like two decades ago. Hard to justify paying for one now when it’s priced the same as a Big Mac/quarter pounder
Watching you eat always makes me crave McDonald's. I could never eat at as much as you though. 😂 I ❤ the filet o fish and McChicken tremendously too. Those are my usual burgers.
14:15 - yea, at least in the UK there's a pretty big difference between coke zero & diet coke both in taste and purpose diet coke was *originally* created specifically for those who are diabetic so they can still enjoy coke, and then later marketed to those on diets. coke zero was created for those who wanted zero sugar but as close as possible taste to original coke. as diet coke has different ingredients entirely.
@@eadweard. they wouldn't. they just can't/shouldn't have original or zero coke due to being diabetic. hence why it tastes different because they have to use completely different ingredients.
I'll give you a good hack for your McDouble. Here in Canada, we have an option to order our "McDouble like a Mac" and what it does is it substitutes the ketchup and mustard for Big Mac sauce. So now you basically have a Big Mac without the bread in the middle for cheaper.
I used to watch this channel a lot during covid. This & this 1 awkward mixed guy. Idkw but I just kept watching him. But Ben, tbh he is pretty cute. But his back story is what drew me in. & I remember him getting robbed too.I haven't watched him in awhile tho.& I tried to find awkward dude but I don't even remember what he called himself. Anyways, when r they 🙄gonna have babies🤔? I bet they would have cute ones 😁
Fantastic video, Ben! Maybe my favorite video I've ever watched of yours. I loved it. Maybe because you're doing it in the USA. You're so American and it just seems normal to see you in NYC. You said you would live there if you could afford it. Did you mean NYC or did you just mean you would live in the United States somewhere if you could afford it?
Hey Ben, if you want good pizza in the city you should try any out of Rubirosa, Lombardi's, and John's of Bleeker Street. Recommendations in Brooklyn have to go to Lucali's or Luigi's Pizza in South Slope.
Ben, since you're a burger guy... Try the Oklahoma Onion smashburger at Hamburger America or Gotham City Burger. I'm so excited to see all the amazing food you and your wife experience in NYC!! 🗽
Not sure if someone else commented this already, but the chicken big mac is basically two big mcnuggets. I like those patties more than a McChicken personally. At first I felt like it was a little gimmicky, but ended up liking it a lot.
The easter eggs ben dropped are so INSANELY smart...face getting rounder by the second...fries tasting different..preservatives!!! Pretending they're good 😂😂😂
I remember when I first had the spicy nuggets years ago. They released it along with some sort of hot sauce (I think it was called mighty sauce?) and it was so good. I wonder why they haven't brought it back.
I've started watching your videos since you have been visiting NYC. I have never seen anyone enjoy cold fast food like you. I have never seen anyone take three bites at a time. You are by far the fastest eater among TH-camrs. The only person that I have seen that can eat more than you in one sitting is Mark Wiens. He never says that he is full.
Hands down my guy looks like he hasn’t gained anything since my 2 years of subscription. I love his videos and I feel like he would be an absolutely chill dude to hang and have some grub with that’s for damn sure.
i got salty over the -1 cheese slice mcdouble, since then never had one once and also stopped getting the classic double cheese that used to be a staple for me lmao
American McDonald's has fallen from its graces so much in comparison to neighboring countries. I used to work there years ago and I loved the lime pepper seasoning we used to use on grilled chicken. One day the seasoning vanished for a cheaper version as did a lot of McDonald's items starting coming off trucks with lower quality. 😢 Hope to see you try Whataburger try and find a good one though because its all location location location
Does anyone know what he does before eating all this slop? Like does he fast + exercise for like 3 days before eating all this or what? How does he maintain his figure
Yoooo can I just say if they put ketchup in a sauce container like the rest of the sauces I'd be soooo stoked not having to deal with the dang packets lol
This guy is living peak life, constantly travelling, and eating all the foods he wants.
Don’t forget, beautiful wife
@@therealSaiswe love ring lady
he is not happy lol
except he can't watch youtube while eating

Make sure you hit “Johnnys” on FIFTH street. All my real New Yorkers know what I’m talkin about (never been to New York)
Huh?
@@chaostheory16😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah and ol Joey Deliano's Deli is to croak for (never stepped foot in NYC or state in my life)
I’m stoned as fcuk wandering through the streets of Lisbon ramming handfuls of McNugs into my mouth. Perfect time for this video to drop
Blessed Brother, I'll take a hit for you in a little bit
Take care my ABSOLUTE best friend!
wtf lmao
@gibsonms stay safe my friend. My other comment is hidden
hahahaha atta boy
Always good to see the fish fillet getting some love
Underappreciated sandwhich!
real!
It's the best item on the menu.
@@spitz5183 I like the filet of fish, but that's outrageous lol
@@xYggdrasilx So what would you say is the best?
Filet-o-Fish is my favorite item on their menu
I love how his salivary glands start working as soon as he starts describing the food.
BenDeen is chill like if you agree
he got a very chill voice
Close your eyes and it could be Jonny Depp
Nope
Chill asf some might even say
Way more chill than Mikey Chen
I remember your first videos dude when you just moved to Korea. You have come a long way dude and I still love your videos :) Peace.
NEED A RAISING CANES MUKBANG
Overrated and mid.
holyy yes
Raising canes is unseasoned ass fried chicken lol
its gonna be the same as every other canes review "chicken sucks but sauce is good", id rather see some good NY spots
@@gagechavez5473 i mean the sauce is the key part of the menu

Ben PLEASE go try Adel’s Famous Halal. i know that would be right up your alley
I love them but that waiting line always push me away lmao.
I mean it’s good but not 20 mins waiting good
THIS! And Schwarma Bay too - the chapli kebab with all 3 sauces

Check out Slice too.

Imagine flying into NYC and going straight to McDonalds.
I miss New York. I grew up ten minutes outside NYC and the sounds remind me of my childhood.
filet o fish dipped in mcdonalds bbq sauce is an ELITE combo. Worth trying out.

I like when Ben Deen eats burgers with the monster chomp. 😊
Try Culvers next
He did last year th-cam.com/video/w5JvndRHBnY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FGmL3a_jQM3y6SVg
Filet o fish big mac would go crazy
That’s what I wanna see

$11 for 40pc? It's $18 for 20pc in Canada
Everything is expensive here. Everything.
@@HarshL It must be a NY thing or something because a 40pc is $15 in the midwest.
@PlazDreamweaver The still the price of our 20 piece with conversion 😭
Hot mustard dipping sauce was my favorite!!!! Here in Illinois they took away the hot mustard sauce 12yrs ago!!!
We need the Taco Bell vid stat
Hopefully you can make it to Culver's while you're stateside! I know it's your favorite!
Filet o fish, chicken McNuggets, and quarter pounder with cheese deluxe are my trinity of go to’s
Seeing you happy is mighty fine.
Nice. Classic vid Deen!
And I’m all here for a Fillet Mac! 😮🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
filet o fish is the only McD item that tastes like real food
Bro you gotta mix the Ranch & Bbq. GAME CHANGER
Filet-o-fish’s are my jam!! Next time- try putting some of their bbq sauce on the tartar sauce side (so they mix a little bit). Ugh, so good!
The US content is going to be spectacular cant wait.
Honestly, the buffalo sauce is like a standard generic buffalo sauce
Hey Ben, if you want good pizza in the city you should try any out of Rubirosa, Lombardi's, and John's of Bleeker Street. Recommendations in Brooklyn have to go to Lucali's or Luigi's Pizza in South Slope.
Just got done eating then BenDeen drops a McDonalds mukbang, im addicted to this restaurant and im going on 2 weeks clean, cmon Ben!!!😂

The hot picante sauce is for their breakfast burritos. I think they replace those with the lunch sauces after 11 or whatever time they switch.
bro didn't eat a SINGLE fry until like 12 minutes into the video
insane
10:00 bring back the southern chicken sandwich
I remember when I first had the spicy nuggets years ago. They released it along with some sort of hot sauce (I think it was called mighty sauce?) and it was so good. I wonder why they haven't brought it back.

What camera do you use on the road?
got myself some mcdanks lmao thats the whole damn menu son!
This man is a true patriot
I wanna try the chicken big Mac that looks delicious 😊🍔🍟🥤
Oh Upside pizza is good too, they do sourdough crusts. Two boots also does amazing specialty pizza
they should have done the chicken Big Mac in the middle of the chicken sandwich wars.
bro's a married man and she still lets him eat mcdonalds hahah living the life
Pro tip: French fries taste better when they're hot.
Ben you are the epitomy of modern Stoicism.
Dont worry about the weight too much, you look healthy and enjoy the time with your family

i honestly thought the chicken bigmac tasted off, i think it was the thousand island sauce
Bro why u eat so aggressively😂
Mighty fine, man! Foods getting cold though. It’s sometimes cold even at the restaurant!😂
filet o'fish is top 3 in the best food on earth. it's literally the best thing on McDerps menu. And in all of fast food.
crazy take
14:16 Diet Coke uses one artificial sweetener and Coke Zero uses two. Also Diet Coke has more caffeine than Coke Zero.
I think Coke Zero is meant to taste similar to OG Coke, while the diet version embraces a distinct flavor.
I hate cold McDonald's food, it's got to be the worst thing ever. I get piss off when I get cold fries at the drive through.
go into restaurant and ask for fresh ones...
half slice of cheese makes no sense but i love it
