one thing about Raf I love is he gets right to the point in every video. no intro or long speech just right where it should be
Absolutely 💯
And no scammy companies sponsors about shitty products either 🤣
I have literally watched ALL of his videos and never got bored once? There is no channel that does it like him
100% agree!
Totally agree!
“This coleslaw has been sitting in this bag for so long it’s probably kimchi at the point”
I died 😂😂😂
Usually those kind of food is best eaten in the restaurant because they go stale and the crispy texture disappears 😅
True
Yes thank for saying
Yes! The hashbrowns, waffle and toast would be so much better eaten in the restaurant because they get steamed in those to-go containers and mushy.
They get soggy, not go stale, and food is best eaten when it in the restaurant, even tho I don't like Chili's at all
The plastic lids makes the food soft
If you want crispy food you need to eat it there. I love waffle house breakfast 😋
Thank you pin the comment.
Raf "stop with the plastic boxes wrap it in paper"
Also Raf while unwrapping food wrapped in paper "why is everything wet, soft and soggy" lololol I love this guy 😂😂
You mean the whole to me I am your beyond ultimate number one fan
From a past Chili’s employee- You need to go to chilis in person and get a triple dipper with boneless buffalo wings, southwestern eggrolls, and big mouth bites. (My personal fave) Also try the honey chipotle chicken crispers. (The world’s fave) and also the Cajun chicken pasta (another world fave)
If you ate the Concrete when it was still frozen, it wouldn’t have seemed too textural. It’s like frozen custard with tons of chunky mix-ins, so good! I love Culver’s, it’s so much higher in quality than other fast food chains💜
Culver’s really is soooo much higher quality than other fast foods!
Culver’s burgers are not that great. The fries are nasty. But I do like the custard.
@Roller324 I agree. I think it depends on where you have a Culver’s. I’m in northern Midwest and it’s not the same taste as the original ones from further east
@@rachelpetrilli3477Culver's started in Wisconsin, literally the Northern Midwest...
I am so proud of you Raph, making that breakfast sandwich immediately after trying each item. You should receive your American citizenship in the mail soon if it was up to me😂
I love getting a piece of everything (egg, bacon, hashbrown and toast ) and eating it all together
Is that the requirements for American citizenship these days?? Just being able to make a breakfast sandwich is surely very tricky, so he's very fortunate, lol!!
So happy that you finally tried Culver’s!!! I would recommend you try the concrete mixers again when they are fresh, because they are made from custard and supposed to be a thicker consistency! ❤
Sometimes I think our posts get hidden. His content is great. I would hands down award him Content Creator of the year in my opinion.
I am telling you get an airfryer to warm your food up before eating so you can get a better experience and it crisps it up nice. Culvers is so good and you can order with lettuce etc. so you just need to order different. The taste of their meat is beyond good. Its a “smash burger” Culvers is not a bad place it is one of the best fast food places. Started in midwest and working way south. The concrete mixers needed to be refrigerated because they are thick, not runny so go there to eat one day and eat it fresh right away!
Ever since getting an air fryer I would never heat up my food in a microwave. Again. I absolutely love heating up on my food in the air fryer. It makes it taste like it's like the day you bought it
I definitely am enjoying these type of videos, but a suggestion would be to try 1 place per filming. The food would be fresher and a true test. It might mean 4 days of filming shorter bits to edit together later, but I think it would improve the quality!
Totally agree. I thought the same thing. And then as a bonus, he could actually enjoy the whole meal and not have to stop eating to save room.
Agreed! It's NEVER the same quality when it's taken to go and eaten like a half hour after you got it!
Good idea! I would also love him to eat there, so wen can see the place, too. (For people outside the US.) We would like to accompany him there.
When you get "moist" food and it gets wrapped or put in a paper bag and then sits around for a bit you will have a soggy mess. Those kinds of items are best eaten right away and not left to get nasty soggy :/
Yes please more episodes like this. I live in a restaurant dessert (not many restaurants near me, unless I want to drive over an hour away). Also thank you for your honesty opinions as well. We need more content creators like you.
Im sure you meant to say that you live in a restaurant DESERT. Living in a restaurant DESSERT would be sweet! 😘
@@authorgirlpetparent yes that exactly what I meant to say but TH-cam kept autocorrecting until I was blue in the face.
@@aliciawindisch9497 🤣 👍🏼💚
We choose my husbands next duty station bc we were missing restaurants. 😂 There are some here but we miss all the choices we used to have. We were spoiled!
Don't quit YT ever!! You're literally the only channel I look forward to watching
😂😂😂 when the Flan fell I cried laughing so hard. Poor baby! You’re low key funny Ralph
You need to try the pretzel bites from Culver's. It comes with cheese sauce which is to die for. You can also buy the cheese sauce for the fries. Culver's has really good onion rings too. Their burgers come plain. You have to tell them what toppings you want.
I can confirm that I have NEVER poured syrup on anything but pancakes or waffles. ~From the west coast of the US.
It's def a thing here in Kentucky...comes on things in local family owned restaurants never seen it anywhere else tho 😂
I dip my sausages in it. Canadian here.
I think it's a personal preference thing. I have never seen anyone else do it but I've heard many people do it (I think maybe more in the south?) But I do remember one time I saw my little sister put KETCHUP on her scrambled eggs and I thought "what on earth???" I just found it bizarre, lol .... Just like people who put tabasco sauce on pizza. Never seen it but heard people do that too. Who knows! Just a preference thing. 😂
We definitely eat like this in the South. Some people order jelly or preserves, but I love the syrup on the sandwich.
We do it in the Midwest too. It's delicious.
All the food is much better when eaten at the restaurant ❤
As a Wisconsinite, I am so pleased that you love Culver's. 😄Make sure you try the custard next time!
Ehhh! I live there too. I love Kopp's and Leon's. 💕
@@sherriv4860 Leon’s! YES. Back in my school days, our track team would make stops to either Culver’s or Leon’s if around the area. Post meet ritual 🙌🏻
Culver’s is not everywhere it’s a Wisconsin gem 🖤
@@marmarmarg cute. Cute. 💕
Is there a flavor of custard you'd recommend?
We do not put maple syrup on all of our breakfast. We only put it on our bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes, and waffles. We usually put cheese, ketchup or salt and pepper on our eggs. Our hash browns we have ketchup, country/ sausage gravy or salt and pepper.
tabasco sauce be goated for eggs and potatoes
On the bacon and sausage?
Yes, they actually make maple sausage and bacon here in the US. You can even get a maple bar with bacon crumble on top.
100% accurate
Hot sauce on the hash browns and eggs here.
The waffle is a little crispy if you eat it when it's fresh. But in containers like that, the steam will soften it.
Also, the pecan waffle is how you make it more "fun" and it's delicious.
I worked at chilis as a dishwasher for like 5 months. I didn’t cook the food but I did see how it was prepared and I can confirm they do NOT make the cookies there 😂
They do at my chilis. I'm a cook. The chicken strip are battered and fried to order as well.
I LOVE Raphael Gomez & his honesty & amazing videos 😍
Portillos dips all of their buns in beef juice that is why they are wet. Yours appears extra wet due to the fact that it has set in its packaging for some time prior to your eating it. I LOVE their food!!
Am I the only one that cried when I saw he lost the peppers off the Chicago dog....or when he dipped it in cheese sauce lol
Yes more of these please, love seeing all the different places of food in America, we have no way near as much variety of chain restaurants in Australia.
Raf, you had me laughing so hard when you dropped the flan in the black beans I started to cry😂😂😂. You are the best. You should try Buffalo Wild Wings 😊
I’m usually a silent watcher, but you always put such great effort into videos, I had to like and comment so you know you are supported!
The whole part with you dropping the flan in the beans and attempting to pick it up had me on the floor rolling lolll 🤣🤣🤣
😢 he was enjoying the flan 🍮
hilarious best bit of the video 🤣😁🥰
Texas Roadhouse is my favorite place. Great, now I want Texas Roadhouse. Thanks a lot, Raphael!!!
This is another place you want to experience, live. Those rolls are RIDICULOUS hot. And they'll bring you as much as you want, for free!
@@jessallaround13i can confirm as i work there. if you take rolls home and they get cold or start to harden (happens fast) you can pop in your oven to freshen them up & brush with melted butter. i use rolls for many things. make sliders with our boneless wings, at home for biscuits and gravy, or mini sausage biscuits, egg salad sandwiches, or even bread pudding. 😉
Haha when Ralph says, "I'm So American now!" After putting syrup on the breakfast sandwich. 😂❤ yes, love these videos! Try drive up Sonic! Red Lobster's Coconut Shrimp. Five Guys bacon cheese burger & fries.
YES. YES AND YES! ❤ I would love to see more videos like this! It is so enjoyable to see as someone from the Netherlands, also, Americans are so creative with their foods, haha, I love it. 😂 I love your jokes in this one, it cracked me up a lot. Have a great day, Rapha! ❤
Ahww im Dutch as well! I always enjoy his videos! Next to getting to know all the foods in different places he is also so real. And that is defentily something i appreciate!! :) fijne feestdagen alvast!
Your videos always brighten my day, so by all means, please continue!
When you get the food delivered, you need to heat it up in an air fryer. Then you’ll have a better experience. Your food was wet because of the heat of the food in the packaging. U need it fresh hon.
I've been sick for the past week and had no appetite. Your video gave me my appetite back and I got up and cooked something for myself. Thanks :)
I think you need to eat at the restaurants and film there. Such a big difference than by the time you get them home.
Your uploads make me so happy
And 2 uploads back to back?
You just made my whole week! 😍
Waffle House has blueberry or chocolate chip waffles and also have whipped cream. If you say you want a waffle, you get a plain waffle
You gotta try the southwestern egg rolls from Chili’s. Their chocolate molten cake is good too.
I was surprised he got the mozzarella sticks instead of the egg rolls too. 😂
how can someone not enjoy your content!! you are the BEST !! love all your videos so much
Texas Roadhouse is one of those places you need to visit in person. You get to smash peanuts on the floor. 😊
They ask us not to do that anymore😅
I love your videos! You're on a short list of my favorite food people ❤ Merry Christmas Ralphael and God bless you❤
I usually lurk and never comment, but I think many of us can understand that sentiment of "why bother" without engagement. We appreciate you for continuing on doing what you do in your unique way :)
My step dad and Step brother are going to America next year in May. Your content has helped them plan their trip, so Thanks. Keep it up!
I almost died when he kept saying it's wet🤣🤣
We really enjoyed this video (as we always do!) Thank you!
There's no jam in the strawberry shortcake I grew up with--just macerated strawberries over a shortcake (sometimes sponge cake), covered in whipped cream. Yum!
Yes, are you near Pennsylvania... I am and that's how I grew up eating it also
@@fitzkeelove2471 I'm not from there, but had great grandparents who were, before they left for the west.
Oh I see
In the south we just do sliced strawberries with a little sugar.
Same, I'm in New England and we actually used biscuits (like Bisquick biscuits), strawberries just slightly macerated with sugar, and homemade whipped cream. Some people do little sponge cakes, though. You can buy them in the supermarket
i’ve been watching your videos since 2018 but never really bothered to comment, you’re genuinely one of the sweetest and most positive energy yters on this platform i’ll never get tired of watching your videos
Love Chili’s, never had that combo but I love their burgers, southwest rolls, and chipotle chicken crispers
As a Canadian, Quebec, We love maple syrup on our breakfast. I actually cook my bacon, ham and eggs in maple syrup. Especially in the Spring, when the maple trees are running. We have Sugar shacks and maple festivals.YUM!
Portillos chili cheese dog is usually incredible. You can even have stuff shipped to your home from portillos.
I like it when he said “oh I love the ranch” and then he puts is back in the box 😂
Sweetie..how 'bout reheating everything in an air fryer before you actually try ... it's going to be even more satisfying than trying to savor soggy cold food 😉😉😉😊
Marshmallow was first put on sweet potatoes in a cook book owned by a marshmallow company. They were looking for more ways to incorporate marshmallow into the American diet. 😂😂😂
🤦🏻♀️
Those b*stards! 😂
If you’d like to lighten up your life like never before: take the Waffle House waffle and put it in your COLD oven hit preheat to 350 and then when it reaches the temp flip the waffle over and wait another like 5 minutes.
That will give you the PERFECT CRISP
I think the pickle juice got the bun wet & the thing u called a croissant was a Philly cheese steak sub which probably needed some of that cheese whiz looking sauce on it. I always love that u try thr food even if it looks terrible or is wet. & maybe got overly steamy. Ur right most of those foods needs to be eaten hot at the restaurants. But u did a great job. I love Texas Roadhouse, & their YEAST ROLLS & cinnamon butter. I get their chicken breast with a Swiss style cheese & a wonderful bunch of mushrooms in a brown sauce/ gravy it's so good & I use to get their Wedge salad, House or Ceaser salad& I've had the sweet potato with just cinnamon butter & it was really good. They have nice steaks there also, I usually get a ribeye or petite Filet with garlic butter mushrooms on top & a good steak sauce. The yeast rolls are worth getting a free refill basket full before u go home so u have a great to-go bag.& they always give me a new fresh sweet tea in a togo cup to take with me. They have great service. Their ranch tastes like homemade hidden valley ranch. What do u always wear a beautiful white shirt or hoodie when ur trying these messy foods.
We need to buy u a big Bib to wear & cover ur clothes 😅😅😅😅🥼🧤🥽😍😘🥰💜🙏🍓🥩🍔🥓💧🌭🥖
50% of the reasons why these foods might taste bad to you is because you are eating them cold long after they made it💀
Especially Waffle House it’s good while you’re there.
But shouldn't good food taste good even if it's not warm? If it's really good then it doesn't matter if it isn't hot anymore
@@garakstailorshop No 💀 especially if you get the items he got from a restaurant or a fast food place. There’s no saving cold food that has been cooled off from its own moisture enclosed in packaging. Waffles etc. will always not taste as great if it was served fresh and hot without damp moisture
@@citygirlsup-ih9pj well that's the food that you tried. Here in Europe food is just that good I guess
@@garakstailorshop bro what are you talking about😭 any food that is breaded or fried will not taste as good hours later cold and moist, he literally admitted to that as well- get over it
Chocolate cake shake at portillos...you need to get that! And Culver's is a 10/10...but you gotta eat it all fresh! Actually most of these places...eat them fresh in the restaurant! They'll be better for sure!
I love your content and every video you filmed,your beautiful and honesty energy make this place so much better ❤ keep doing
Regard Portillos - the hotdog comes in a steamed bun (damp) with a big pickle (damp) and sliced tomatoes (damp) and sauces (more damp). It's the sort of thing that's best to eat at the restaurant so nothing gets soggy. It's delicious when you have it all together and fresh.
Edit: If you have another chance, get the chocolate cake shake, the ribs, the same hot dog, but instead get the Maxwell St. Polish sausage instead the regular dog, and the grilled chicken sandwich on a croissant. Their italian beef sandwich is decent (I was spoiled by growing up near Johnnie's Beef in Elmwood Park IL) but I don't recommend it for you because it's not photogenic and you seem to dislike mushy textures. Italian beef is thinly sliced beef on french bread with either sweet or spicy peppers and then dipped into an au jus that will make the sandwich soggy and amazing. Their chopped salad is popular if you like salads. All of their desserts are amazing.
Loved their grilled chicken croissants but they discontinued it and no longer offer it.
currently work at portillos he cant forget to get a slice of chocolate cake
I live right by Elmwood Park and yes Johnnie’s beef ❤ Also definitely all that food needs to be eaten at the restaurant
Their burgers are so good
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ;-;@@dg-zl1ct
love you! it is so fun to watch you evaluate new foods!
Ok the only time syrup gets onto eggs for myself is when I forget to move the pancake/waffle to a different plate or I don't eat up the eggs first. Never deliberate. But if you like it, you do you my friend.
AMAZING VIDEO ! love this guy, so soothing, professional, and so well versed. GG. my way to spend some of my evening every day. Thanks Rapha
Ok so no we DO NOT but syrup all over our breakfast. Some people like it on their bacon most people don’t. The syrup was for your waffle.
Oh raph never ever think of quitting TH-cam, you're one of my favorite TH-camrs. 😭❤
I live in Dubai and Texas Roadhouse is like my favorite restaurant here, but the food literally looks so different from what you showed. Even chilis’s is very popular here but ig we do not get the real American experience here lol
It always makes me so happy seeing foreigners try southern staples. Literally my comfort videos before bed. You’re the best Raph!!
I love your videos they are so good and makes me forget about my health problems just for a little time 😊
"The cow is like staring at me" lol!
I can not believe you said that soggy hotdog was good 😂(ok, I can I was waiting for it) I literally was sitting here going, don't you dare say that soggy thing is amazing 😅 also 100% agree that chicken strips are the elite food choice!! My number 1 😅❤ LOVED this video as always, of course!! 😊
Culvers is my all-time favorite fast food place and the customer service is incredible, too!
As an American I've never seen anyone put syrup on the whole breakfast😂
I have seen it ✋
I do that. I also put a little bit of honey if syrup is not available.
I am an American and I put syrup on my whole breakfast
I live in Cincinnati and am a proud “syrup all over my breakfast “ girl!
I've never put syrup on my eggs.
Omg so funny when the flan fell in the beans...I laughed so hard I woke up my husband... couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂
Sorry Raf, we don’t put syrup on the entire breakfast plate. Waffles/pamcakes/maybe sausage and bacon. And marshmallows on sweet potatoes just slap. Not sure why but it hits
I would love more episodes like this. Well done.
Texas Roadhouse is my all time favorite place to eat!!!! And that bread 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 10 outta 10!!!!!!!
So fun watching you nosh down on all those fast food chain foods. Now, I'm starving. Thanks 😂
Places like Chili's used to be big in the 90's in mostly suburban or semi-rural places. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like there were a lot less cool local restaurants.
Casual dining chains have kinda been overtaken by fast casual chains and local places.
You are a very special guy! I love all of the different types of videos that you make. Thanks for being you l😊
American-- I don't put syrup on my eggs lol
My favourite influencer to watch. Especially when I'm sad. Your videos always find a way to make me smile..please keep being you. Just the way you are!!!
I'm so happy every time I see a notification from your channel 💕
You ordered the wrong food from Chili's, you didn't even get the chicken enchiladas soup ( a must try)... The burgers, steaks, fajitas are really good also... I don't know who told you what you got was the best choice but they lied to you friend... Pls try it again, maybe even go into the restaurant food is always better fresh.
Best day ever!!! Just finished finals and Raph posted!!!! hell yeah!
I would recommend trying Portillos again: Italian beef DIPPED with hot peppers, chopped salad (trust me), cake shake, maxwell street polish and a tamale. Also, the cheese sauce is for the fries :) You should probably also get a slice of chocolate cake. It is a crime to get your Chicago Italian beef dry, it should be dripping down your arm
your food videos make me so happy.
Ok, Chili’s is not Fast Food. It’s a sit down restaurant. Yes, it’s a chain, but definitely not fast food. The Queso is the bomb! And, leaving it in plastic, sealed containers, is going to make the food soggy. Try dining in, instead. It will make a world of difference. 🙂
So happy to see my fav upload ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Born and raised in the US. Never had a single item you just ate lol.
"the personality is giving, the looks 😬..." literally me lol
Hi Raphael do you think some of the foods would taste better if they were eaten right away?😊
I LOVE WATCHING YOU BEING SO HAPPY!!!
Pollo Tropical has an entire sauce bar for their chicken, so it's unfortunate you didn't get more sauce, but to be fair you've never been.
Culver's originally came from Wisconsin. Hence cheese curds, they are known for the butter burger. A beef burger with butter in the center then cooked. The fish in the fish dinner is waleye.
You eat like a stoner and I love it so much. Just ordered some food for myself cause I'm so hungry now. 😂
I haven’t been to a Chili’s in like a decade lol. I have a Texas Roadhouse on the next freeway off-ramp down from me. These other restaurants I’ve never been to, but those fish and chips from Culver’s looked great! If you have an air fryer, all those fried foods (especially the fries) will taste as good as fresh!❤
Chili's USED to be a staple but it went to trash about 4 years ago.
You can order them with toppings. Pecan is my favorite waffle! I wish they had them up here where I live!
Definitely love seeing these videos but I do recommend trying to eat the foods more fresh if you can.
With the hotdog and croissant sandwich, the wrappers really did steam and made them soggy.
Many blessings and happy holidays 💚❤️💚❤️
I’m going back to Santa Monica for a few weeks so I can’t wait to try the places and foods you’ve recommended.
No. I don't pour syrup on my eggs and hashbrowns. MAYBE sausage.
