Absolutely, I got a bit disgusted at the waste of good ingredients to be honest. Especially truffles need a more subtle background or their flavor gets overwhelmed.
The duck burgers stole the show. Will definitely try them when next time in Paris. The amount of blue cheese in a McDonalds burger was surely a pleasant sight. As for the most expensive one, as Sonny said, too much happening in one burger - extravaganza doesn’t always guarantee the best results.
@@Visit_Tangier lol😂, I’m thinking the exact same thing! Wth is he on about?? Cleaning? French cooking school & especially the tools being less than 2 years??? What on earth 😂😂
if you come in France, being not arrogant american shit and polite french wiill be kind and warm to you, say bonjour and merci, no drink at a bottle fine wine like it's Coca, we had 84 millions touristes this year and if they come there's some great reasons. Dont be an ass
As a french man I have to say that the third burger is a just a waste of fine products. I mean brie and truffle is a good combinaison but adding foie gras and safran is a crime !!! This so called chief has no idea about what french cuisine really is, what a shame!!!!
The best thing with the most expensive burger is the Lidl salt in the background. Selling a burger for 120€ but getting ingredients from a discount grocery store.
Calm down frenchie he is Pakistani. He was asked to make a special burger. Plus it’s not even like you guys have much of a variety so get off your pedestal, always thinking you guys are above everyone else.
@@alexanderdiaz6396 You obviously dont know nothing about cooking ombre,deep frying food is all you guys Know! It's about assorting flavors not about piling fine and expensive things.And of course we are the best at cooking Who can say we're not ...
Really a nice vidéo ) As a French living in Vietnam I totally join you about ducks. In this vidéo, we can see remarquable products like "the fourme d'Ambert", cheapest blue cheese, not agressive, very creamy when it's melting perfect for pasta or pizza. The Brie and St Nectaire are also 2 great cheeses for burgers, St Nectaire is more pronounce so it add a value. No more Camembert for cooking, always choose the Brie, much sweeter on your mouth and one last thing, foie gras sauce is exceptionnal to add to a great steak, it's already very rich and creamy, that will impress your guests for sure

That last burger looked amazing, I do like vegetables on my burgers though, so it was sort of skimp in that regard. I'm not surprised you chose the duck burger, something about the bitterness and flavor of duck is appealing. Like all those ingredients on the last burger probably didn't even compete with the taste of the duck one alone. Also, I can't stand Mcdonald's Burgers, like they're great, but I wish they used more than 1 tsp of sauce/vegetables, they need to be made with more love lol
Last burger does not look like $120 at all though. The second one looks better in presentation and in terms of unique flavor and also French taste to it
the last burger was some guy asking himself how he could turn a cheap burger into an expensive burger by adding random expensive ingredients. The quality of the meat for supposedly a high-end burger was laughable. A good quality burger patty would be a rough grind where there would be significant fat and juice to the meat. The meat there was dry like paper and he had to rely on mayo and sauce to add the fat
You need to do a video on Scottish food. The McDonalds beef and cheese melt is amazing plus you have scotch pies, haggis, deep fried mars bars, we also have some really delicious burger places
The last burger I think suffered from being a one off. I'd imagine if it was to go on a menu he'd work out which ingredients work best together to stop the flavours all competing so much.
You can't appreciate French cuisine until you eat there. I've only been once and although I didn't eat a burger, I ate the blood sausage and snails. My folks were raised in Scotland, so blood in food is normal for me but they took it to a new level. The escargot was surprisingly excellent too.
@@alx5564 Just the English you dislike eh? 🤣 I went to Beziers and fell in love with it. The Pyrenees mountains are beautiful and in France they let us BASE jump from iconic bridges. They are much more relaxed about my sport.
Did you see how thick he sliced the truffles? Thats not an ingredient you can just carelessly throw on in thick slices. This was way too much and must have completely overtaken every other ingredient. Making a burger with truffles is not easy because you have to balance this ingredient very well with the other stuff. No problem with the saffron, looked good. Also why take a super expensive dry aged beef and then fry it crispy to simulate bacon. If you put something like this on there just put it on the burger as it is.
Honestly, the Bleu cheese burger at the Le McDonald's looked decent. But that second one with the duck breast and thigh confit had me drooling like a short busser. I absolutely LOVE duck. It's irritating and confusing that it's not more popular here in the states. It's like a super greasy mixture of chicken and turkey, what's not to love?! I thought all of us red-blooded Mericans liked greasy food!
In europe its normal to eat duck at festive dinners. Like for christmas or easter. I also really like horse, but its pretty rare to find. Some big cities have like 1 butcher who offers it, but i guess its like the duck in america. People like horses too much yet have no problem eating cows. I dont get it.
@@mucxlx it's a divisive meat, here, too. I, for one, really dislike tue flavour, it's oily and strong, no thank you but no. It has to be noticed that, for some unknown reason, women like duck meat more than men.
For people wondering the Second burger the round white cheese is goat cheese. When they talk about duck "confit" it means duck slow cooked in duck fat. For people traveling and wanting to take a souvenir home, they make cans or jard of it too. The duck thighs are completly covered in fat. To eat it you pull it out of the jar, scrape the excess fat and reheat in a pan or the oven. "Magret" is not just duck beast, it is fat duck breast from the one that made foie gras. More fat and more flavors. Don't just stay in Paris, go visit the south west of france and visit a duck farm. Look arroun the Dordogne region. Another thing for duck eaters, is cured duck magret. About 8 to 12h in salt then rince and roll it in a fabric and set in the fridge for 3weeks to a month to dry. Damned that cut in thin slices is good.
That expensive burger actually looks reallyo good. I love brie, black truffles, foie gras, saffron and what looks like bresaola...it actually looks like a really good combination of flavor. That duck breast looked like my favorite as well though. I love duck, its such an underappreciated meat in much of the world. But seared duck breast, duck penang, chinese roast duck on rice, so many delicious dishes. But yeah I agree with McDonalds calling them sandwiches. To me a burger is minced meat, and a lot of their menu are vegetarian and chicken breast. While a burger is a sandwich a sandwich necessarily a burger, so sorry Sonny I take their side on the naming 😅
That duck burger looked so good. Really like the idea of both types of duck. Really nice quality cheese. And that sesame bun looked like a perfect burger bun. That smash burger looked interesting. The patty itself looked really good, nice char on it very even. Sure its got a lot of gimmick ingredients but I think a regular burger from them would be very good too.
I would love to try the duck burgers. It’s looks so delicious. I had roasted duck, pegging duck, steamed duck, but never had a duck burger before. Thank you for sharing sonny. God bless you all.🙏🙏🙏❤️
You should do a New Orleans video! We have more restaurants per square mile than anywhere else on the planet! Plus there are plenty of locals around here that would be happy to show you around to all the best spots
That super expensive burger looked absolutely delicious but I definitely wouldn't pay the price. Those duck burgers, I would try for sure mmmmm.😋😋😋 Thanks for doing this Sonny, really enjoyed this.
@@notmyworld44 Foie gras is so cheap in France that you can had it....even with truffles..... even with safran..... that price is really too high for what he put on it.... cheers from France....!
@@crazyjackfr it is not on the menu it is just the most expensive things he has into one for Sonny. He mentions that his normal burgers are 10-15 euro. I think because of the saffron and cured meat and cheese it adds up. Still veery expensive
Hey. Just a heads up guys. I'm on holiday in Paris, I went to Canard St for lunch at 2.30. Closed with a sign on the door saying come back at 7 pm. So we did at 7.20, they opened the door and asked us to come back in ten mins. So we did. We bought both these burgers shown above. They did not look anything like what's advertised here. Half the amount of meat as seen here and barely any chips, which were cold. The burgers tasted good but not at all worth the price. Maybe we were very unlucky and got them on a bad day but overall, a very, very poor experience.
The duck burger looked awesome. The last seemed to be to smashed, even with 2 patties was still too thin, with all those toppings. Another great video though as always. Thanks sonny and team.
agreed. i love smash burgers but the last burger definitely had way too flat of patties, especially for the price point. even before it was cooked it only looks around 4oz of meat, if even that
the last one was just a scammer without any knowledge and skills , France is litterally the country of high end expensive cuisine, Sonny could have met hundred's of chef to prepare a real worthy expensive high quality burger
Definitely the second one! I’m not a fan of smash. A burger need to have certain thickness to retain the juicyness. I also loved the fact that they slice it in have to show the perfect medium!
the last one was just a scammer without any knowledge and skills nor french cultural and traditionnal cuisine background, France is litterally the country of high end expensive cuisine, and he goes to a random immigrant's fastfood to prepare and expensive burger, doesn't make any sense !

Love the video as usual Sonny. It is always great to see a clash of cultures, and I gotta say when I think of fast rubbish food, with nothing special except volume, I think America. The opposite is true with French Food. That's exotic ingredients, quality grown and made with love - usually, and as you have accurately pointed out, like the Canard Burger. I feel that although the Smash was made with quality ingredients, it had too much America. As the Canard Chef pointed out, the French love salad and so do we in Australia, and there was nothing on the Smash Burger. The duck deserved the win for being French, exotic and tasty - and a reasonable price. Cheers mate, I continue to love the content.
@@sneer0101 true, maybe I should have said fresh and natural, locally sourced and grown - tho caviar, truffle and foie gras isn't that common place on my menu. 😉

After being a long-term Traeger+ user, I decided to switch to Asmoke and I couldn't be happier. The precision control of the temperature is a game-changer, allowing me to cook burgers (even French ones!) to perfection every time. The variety of wood pellet flavors available adds an extra layer of taste to my food, making every meal a culinary masterpiece. The portability of Asmoke is another major plus. Whether I'm in my backyard, or on a road trip, I can take my Asmoke grill with me and cook up a storm. It's like having a high-end restaurant grill in my bag! Plus, the rechargeable battery lasts up to 10 hours, so no worries about running out of power mid-cook. Switching to Asmoke has truly transformed my cooking experience. #Asmoke
The cheese you liked is Saint-Nectaire cheese, from my hometown, a very small village in the middle of France, and yes, you are right, it is the best fromage in the world, cooked or not :) Thanks for the video !
The day they made their "signature" burgers was the day I stopped going, they stopped being a cheap fast food, they are actualy the more expensive compared to Quick, BK, KFC... For a Mc Do menu you can actually go to a real restaurant (bistro) that's insane :D I never went back to a Mc do for years now and never regretted.
I was expecting the duck burger to be dry as heck, but that looked guuuud. Definitively the one that made me salivate the most. Although I find myself wishing we had bluecheese burgers at McDonalds in Sweden, I love bluecheese on burgers, I do it myself all the time. Maybe I should be glad we don't have it actually, there's no need for me to find any more excuses to eat unhealthy food.
When you eat blue cheese, you are eating handmade cheese with selected, healthy natural yeasts. Doesn't that remind you of anything? yes you do the same thing (when you drink a drink made with selected natural yeasts that are good for your health), when you drink your BEER! There are plenty of good microbes for health. In your belly, to help with digestion, there are already billions of them working for you every day... So no excuses. Be guilty. Eat what you want. 😉
The 1st duck burger is made with magret/fat duck breast, it's cooked ''rosé'' like ''saignant/bloody'' sort of ''Rare'', just the right way, not dry not hard meat, because of the cooking and the 50% fat on the breast. The second one is made with confit. It's duck leg slowly cooked in duck fat. Then pulled. Wish you could make/try these burgers at home. Nice combination of products. And i'm a retired Chef.
@@LeLynx. Why are ppl assuming I meant Blue Cheese was unhealthy? I was talking about McDonalds burger being unhealthy, as having bluecheese on a McDonalds burgers would give me another excuse to eat McDonalds. I thought it was obvious.
@@TheOdMan Sorry, I probably read and translated you too quickly. (hello Swedish neighbor, I am French). Indeed, as you said, there is much much better than Ronald's food. You might as well go eat elsewhere, or better, get your hands dirty and cook yourself, choosing your ingredients.
Sonny: I totally agree with you the duck burger was #1! Firstly, I love duck & in this form & at $13 it was a steal! Well, you saw that McDonald's in France is not worth the trouble! At $120 the super gourmet burger is just a weird combination of expensive ingredients that don't belong together! Nice short video!

To eat it you pull it out of the jar, scrape the excess fat and reheat in a pan or the oven.
"Magret" is not just duck beast, it is fat duck breast from the one that made foie gras. More fat and more flavors.
Don't just stay in Paris, go visit the south west of france and visit a duck farm. Look arroun the Dordogne region.
Another thing for duck eaters, is cured duck magret. About 8 to 12h in salt then rince and roll it in a fabric and set in the fridge for 3weeks to a month to dry. Damned that cut in thin slices is good.
That expensive burger actually looks reallyo good.
I love brie, black truffles, foie gras, saffron and what looks like bresaola...it actually looks like a really good combination of flavor.
That duck breast looked like my favorite as well though. I love duck, its such an underappreciated meat in much of the world. But seared duck breast, duck penang, chinese roast duck on rice, so many delicious dishes.
But yeah I agree with McDonalds calling them sandwiches. To me a burger is minced meat, and a lot of their menu are vegetarian and chicken breast. While a burger is a sandwich a sandwich necessarily a burger, so sorry Sonny I take their side on the naming 😅
That duck burger looked so good. Really like the idea of both types of duck. Really nice quality cheese. And that sesame bun looked like a perfect burger bun.
That smash burger looked interesting. The patty itself looked really good, nice char on it very even. Sure its got a lot of gimmick ingredients but I think a regular burger from them would be very good too.
I really enjoyed this episode. I will try the duck burger soon. Looks amazing.
That $120 burger looked hella delicious!!!
Lets be real, it didn't - You can't just throw expensive shit on top and raise the price, looked disgusting.
@@ItsFlipppp anything is better than a patty & tomato slice that McDonald's offers.
Making it without gloves turned me off
@@ItsFlipppp lol- right. but its the "french", so what do you expect?
None of these burgers looked good tbh. America does it better.
I would love to try the duck burgers. It’s looks so delicious. I had roasted duck, pegging duck, steamed duck, but never had a duck burger before. Thank you for sharing sonny. God bless you all.🙏🙏🙏❤️
You are such a delight - with your humor, your honesty and your down to earth review.
Be ramen draft yet on
I'd definitely visit to try those out.
You should do a New Orleans video! We have more restaurants per square mile than anywhere else on the planet! Plus there are plenty of locals around here that would be happy to show you around to all the best spots
That super expensive burger looked absolutely delicious but I definitely wouldn't pay the price.
Those duck burgers, I would try for sure mmmmm.😋😋😋
Thanks for doing this Sonny, really enjoyed this.
You would if you could afford it I betcha! (So would I.)
@@notmyworld44 Foie gras is so cheap in France that you can had it....even with truffles..... even with safran..... that price is really too high for what he put on it.... cheers from France....!
@@crazyjackfr it is not on the menu it is just the most expensive things he has into one for Sonny. He mentions that his normal burgers are 10-15 euro.
I think because of the saffron and cured meat and cheese it adds up. Still veery expensive
Hey. Just a heads up guys. I'm on holiday in Paris, I went to Canard St for lunch at 2.30. Closed with a sign on the door saying come back at 7 pm. So we did at 7.20, they opened the door and asked us to come back in ten mins. So we did. We bought both these burgers shown above. They did not look anything like what's advertised here. Half the amount of meat as seen here and barely any chips, which were cold. The burgers tasted good but not at all worth the price. Maybe we were very unlucky and got them on a bad day but overall, a very, very poor experience.
Interesting
Omg ... Sonny's reaction to that cheese on the duck burgers.. 😂... gotta admit that does look pretty good 😋
Euro = dollar shopping time

So true
What kind of cheese was it? Looked really tasty!
@@AndrewWav Saint-Nectaire cheese, from central France....
This is the first time I’ve ever wanted to try duck. Those burgers look amazing!
Love this video ! Great burger tour ! Would love to try that expensive burger ! Keep up the great work Sonny and team !
7:03 Ah I see the editors are meme cultured very nice 😂
Why on 0:19 sec. is there Rua Augusta in Lisbon, if The episode is about Paris?

@@sarahboothe1731 what
@@wildlifewarrior2670 they have A LOT more AMAZING things than " cigarettes".
and for its vast muslim immigration. enjoy your cultural enrichment.
The duck burger looked awesome. The last seemed to be to smashed, even with 2 patties was still too thin, with all those toppings. Another great video though as always. Thanks sonny and team.
agreed. i love smash burgers but the last burger definitely had way too flat of patties, especially for the price point. even before it was cooked it only looks around 4oz of meat, if even that
the last one was just a scammer without any knowledge and skills , France is litterally the country of high end expensive cuisine, Sonny could have met hundred's of chef to prepare a real worthy expensive high quality burger
No the HAMBURGer is not "just an American thing" ... Here's a tiny little clue, it comes from HAMBURG!
Small detail but the hamburg steak wasn't a sandwich
Definitely the second one! I’m not a fan of smash. A burger need to have certain thickness to retain the juicyness. I also loved the fact that they slice it in have to show the perfect medium!
The Hulk disagrees with you
Smash burgers are the best as the technique used. If you want a thick burger then get a double Pattie smash burger
@@IslamicTalksPodcast A japanese chef would kill you for disrespecting the meat lol

Love the video as usual Sonny. It is always great to see a clash of cultures, and I gotta say when I think of fast rubbish food, with nothing special except volume, I think America. The opposite is true with French Food. That's exotic ingredients, quality grown and made with love - usually, and as you have accurately pointed out, like the Canard Burger. I feel that although the Smash was made with quality ingredients, it had too much America. As the Canard Chef pointed out, the French love salad and so do we in Australia, and there was nothing on the Smash Burger. The duck deserved the win for being French, exotic and tasty - and a reasonable price. Cheers mate, I continue to love the content.
'Exotic ingredients'
Yeah, that isn't French food at all. French concentrate on local ingredients primarily
@@sneer0101 true, maybe I should have said fresh and natural, locally sourced and grown - tho caviar, truffle and foie gras isn't that common place on my menu. 😉

After being a long-term Traeger+ user, I decided to switch to Asmoke and I couldn't be happier. The precision control of the temperature is a game-changer, allowing me to cook burgers (even French ones!) to perfection every time. The variety of wood pellet flavors available adds an extra layer of taste to my food, making every meal a culinary masterpiece. The portability of Asmoke is another major plus. Whether I'm in my backyard, or on a road trip, I can take my Asmoke grill with me and cook up a storm. It's like having a high-end restaurant grill in my bag! Plus, the rechargeable battery lasts up to 10 hours, so no worries about running out of power mid-cook. Switching to Asmoke has truly transformed my cooking experience. #Asmoke
Those duck burgers look mouth watering..I want one
you have the most creative, skilled, fun and engaging video editor(s), Sonny. Just wow! they really good at keeping the viewers retention.
One of the best travel food bloggers in my opinion
The cheese you liked is Saint-Nectaire cheese, from my hometown, a very small village in the middle of France, and yes, you are right, it is the best fromage in the world, cooked or not :)
Thanks for the video !
Thanks for the Info
That duck burger looks SO yummy 😋
you deserve to be in Netflix
I am totally gonna try making a duck burger next week, I am going to see how a white wine shallot sauce works with it with a little bit of jowl bacon.
What time shall I be there and what wine do I bring?
I'll bring dessert & fresh fruit. Sounds exquisite!
sauce béarnaise rocks with duck meat
@@Entasis5555 I will give it a go, thank you 😊
08:03 I laughed when he tasted the cheese and saw the splendor of all life in just a few seconds
The day they made their "signature" burgers was the day I stopped going, they stopped being a cheap fast food, they are actualy the more expensive compared to Quick, BK, KFC...
For a Mc Do menu you can actually go to a real restaurant (bistro) that's insane :D
I never went back to a Mc do for years now and never regretted.
would love to try those duck burgers!
Me too but it would be an expensive burger. Round trip to Paris and back home would cost me maybe like 500 euros plus the burger. 😁
The duck burger was insane, what a master !
Those duck burgers looked insane. 😄😫
Why
12,80 from a mcdonalds menu is outrageous!!
Heading there in December, have to try it. Merci.
ahhh the good old Persil ... that's why it's french cuisine :D
Damn those duck burgers had my mouth watering 👌🔥
The Charolois meat made the burger expensive, it's a special kind of cow, the white meat cows you often see in France.
kinda disappointing to see the ignorance in reviewing a food item he doesn't understand
Those kind and hospitable people flip script the moment you make a mistake with their language 🤣
yawn
Smash'in'Burger should name that burger "Sonny's Burger". It looks amazing. I can imagine the flavors. I am ready to pay the price.
Every country has their very own great food that the world loves 🔥👏👍💯
That last burger was a monstrosity.
@@RemplacementTV shoo racist
I love this channel, makes me want to eat everything Sonny reviews
the last burger looked awesome
I was expecting the duck burger to be dry as heck, but that looked guuuud. Definitively the one that made me salivate the most. Although I find myself wishing we had bluecheese burgers at McDonalds in Sweden, I love bluecheese on burgers, I do it myself all the time. Maybe I should be glad we don't have it actually, there's no need for me to find any more excuses to eat unhealthy food.
What's unhealthy about mold?! Just makes you stronger! 💪
When you eat blue cheese, you are eating handmade cheese with selected, healthy natural yeasts.
Doesn't that remind you of anything?
yes you do the same thing
(when you drink a drink made with selected natural yeasts that are good for your health),
when you drink your BEER!
There are plenty of good microbes for health. In your belly, to help with digestion, there are already billions of them working for you every day...
So no excuses.
Be guilty. Eat what you want. 😉
The 1st duck burger is made with magret/fat duck breast, it's cooked ''rosé'' like ''saignant/bloody'' sort of ''Rare'', just the right way, not dry not hard meat, because of the cooking and the 50% fat on the breast.
The second one is made with confit. It's duck leg slowly cooked in duck fat. Then pulled.
Wish you could make/try these burgers at home. Nice combination of products. And i'm a retired Chef.
@@LeLynx. Why are ppl assuming I meant Blue Cheese was unhealthy? I was talking about McDonalds burger being unhealthy, as having bluecheese on a McDonalds burgers would give me another excuse to eat McDonalds. I thought it was obvious.
@@TheOdMan Sorry, I probably read and translated you too quickly. (hello Swedish neighbor, I am French).
Indeed, as you said, there is much much better than Ronald's food. You might as well go eat elsewhere, or better, get your hands dirty and cook yourself, choosing your ingredients.
Love your vids adding some humour AND MAKING ME HUNGRY!!!!
Anythony usually ate or took a bite with the chefs. It's only fair he gets to see your reaction like the rest of us but in person! :D
You should visit Bulgaria, there are some very unique foods you've never tried before Sonny.
Sonny: I totally agree with you the duck burger was #1! Firstly, I love duck & in this form & at $13 it was a steal! Well, you saw that McDonald's in France is not worth the trouble! At $120 the super gourmet burger is just a weird combination of expensive ingredients that don't belong together! Nice short video!
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Kathy Anderson
I'm shocked that you just mentioned and recommended Kathy Anderson. I thought I was the only one trading with her.
I was big on gold and silver but a few months ago I discovered Bitcoin and Ethereum. Listening to lots of stuff from Kathy Anderson has been really helpful in my journey..
When someone is straight forward at what he or she does people will always speak for them.i know a couple of friends who makes profits in the financial market
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Kathy Anderson) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Trading crypto now should be wise, but trading without an expert isn't advisable. I tried trading on my own but keep on losing.
That third burger....I would travel for it.

This is the best ever food review show I’ve ever seen
Se me antojó mucho la de blue cheese del mcdonalds
In Switzerland we actually have a duck susbtitute from the brand Planted, it's really amazing
that shop owner: "we use some produces that you cannot find everywhere... we went to some shops ... "
"What's that? A pyramid?" Flashback to Egypt, eyes glazed, breathing heavy--shakes his head. "Seems popular."
Proceeds to run away.
The duck burgers look AMAZING 😍
Sonny is Super Cool and found the hot spot that everyone in the world can relate to ; Food and Family tradition.
