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 😢
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 TH-camr seems to miss trying out our own fast food chain. Such a shame because it is actually decent!
@@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
@@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! 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!
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.
@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.
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!
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.
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
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
@@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
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
They're terrible. Trust me. Don't even bother. Honestly. Maccas did a promo for like 6 weeks and they were just a greasey, disgusting mess. So inedible I ended up tossing them in the bin. Plus they were like $6 for 2 fritters.
Hey Mikey, please do a Korean BBQ veedeo soon, we've never see you go to a Korean BBQ before. Same goes for Costco, Chinese dumpling places, fast food restaurants, 7-11's.
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 Australia, and if you are planing to come to Adelaide, if you done so already. You need to go to Cafe Da Villies and try out a Pie Floaters. Also you need to go in to any supermarkets and try Fruchocs, normally found in the sweets isle, as in chocolate bars and so on. While in a Supermarkets. Try out the drink, Farmers Union Iced Coffee. Also find your self somewhere that sell a Fog Cake.
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.
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"
Thai and Vietnamese food in Sydney/Melbourne is sensational. Some dishes even surpass the quality of what you can get in their native countries due to the quality of meat and produce here.
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?
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
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)
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.
I'm sorry to say but I've been living in Melbourne for more than 20 years and you're overhyping our processed crap. There are far better options for you to try besides Maccas and Hungry Jacks.
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 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.
8:00 To be honest, I usually just outright prefer Burger King to McDonald's even over here in the USA. The difference is, there's a McD's barely 5 minutes away and the closest Burger King is almost 20 minutes out.
Glad you are finally visiting us down under

Welcome to Australia Mikey loved this ❤❤
Welcome to Melbourne, as they say... "The burgers are better and Hungry Jacks" 😋
the slogan for Hungry Jacks is "the burgers are better at Hungry Jacks"
They taste better. That's 100% fact.

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.

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
The Pineapple Fritters at Maccas are just a seasonal promo. I think you can get them all year round at Red Rooster. 🐓
I love that you are exploring Melbourne's awesome food scene Mikey! Welcome 🙂
By going to a McDonalds and Hungry Jacks...
Nice to see you down in our part of the world finally Mikey. Bar Luca is a must when you get to Sydney.

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.
As an Aussie, a burger isn't the same without beetroot. Its always a burger with the lot, love it.
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
send him to ascot vale

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!

"The Burgers Are Better At Hungry Jacks."
Well it not hard to be better if you're comparing the burgers they serve in Maccas.
Love and peace from Australia as always Mikey..oh wait YOU'RE HERE! 👏
If you end up in Brisbane on your Australia trip, you have to try Taros Ramen. His fire tonkotsu is incredible!
Waiting for Mike to try a Moreton Bay Bug!
You have to try the BALSAMIC rice
I Love that he Mike is in my beautiful country, I am Sydney born and bred, but even I will admit that Melbourne is an amazing food town.
The very first dish looks so tasty, I bet it was delicious!

And Blue Ox Pukekohe
Welcome to Downunder!!❤❤❤ So exciting.. hope you get to Aotearoa, New Zealand too. ❤❤❤
Mike, my local fish and chip shop, probably like many others have been serving battered beef rissoles for years! Way better than burger bites.
I wish you tried the Pho, it’s incredible.
We had pineapple fritters with school dinners in the UK in the 70s.
City rd Maccas I use to go there when I worked in port Melbourne 😆
Which site was the "seafood mountain" at the end? So tempting!!
He lists it in his description box. It's a chargrill specialist place.
@@sonyavincent7450 Thanks!!
Mate, when you're in Tassie, go to the shop and get a National Pie. Trust me.
Wish you wouldve met up with BenDeen he was in Australia this week too
I hope you tried the Hungry Jack chips. They are so tasty.
That seafood platter looks divine. I also wouldn't be surprised if it costed over $60. lol

Parmount Centre has a lot of cheap places in the food court downstairs. Also the cheapest place to get a drink in the CBD.
