This episode is about American fast food
America has a lot of chain fast food restaurant
only KFC and McDonald launched in Chinese market
(I heard Burger King and Subway had franchis in China,but I haven't see them )
Every fast food restaurant has it's special menus
before I came to US, I thought fast food restaurants serve the same things
Burger, fry, soda
after I explored for a while, I realized, every fast food restaurant has their own menu
today, I'm going to take you to taste Wendy's
It's slogan is:"old fashioned hamburger"
let's take a look at what old fashioned hamburger is
Wendy's has his seasonal menu
like the strawberry
This is a new burger, steak house cheese burger
I saw the commercial recently
inner side of the Wendy's is quite alike with the fast food restaurant in China
chocolate frosty is Wendy's signature dessert
I will order one to show you how it is
like ice cream
I think it is ice cream
This big jar contains ketchup
ketchup you dip with fry(why don't they call it tomato something, but give it a unique name?)
straw, you don't call it "tube" in English
Let's take a look at the food I ordered
French fry, or you can just call it fry
This is chili
It's a soup with beans and beef
and some celery and other vegetable
It comes with crackers, some people soak the crackers in chili
it also comes with a pack of hot sauce
American doesn't eat very spicy food
But chili is suppose to be spicy,that's why they provide the sauce seperatly
this is water
This is a junior sized burger
This one, looks like a burger
in Chinese, no matter it has chicken or beef in between the bun, we all call it burger
but in the US, if it has chicken in it, it would be called sandwich
(even though hamburger doesn't have ham in it)
there is no such a word called"chicken hamburger"
I don't know what sauce do they put on
tomato, lettuce, and a piece of chicken
this is mine
If you order food in fast food restaurant
they are going to ask you whether you want a meal/combo or just a burger/sandwich
typical combo will come with a burger/sandwich, fry and drink,like soda
I ordered a combo today
this chicken sandwich and fry was in the comb
but I asked substituting my soda into chocolate frosty
I asked them to hold it for me
I will pick it up later after I finish my lunch, so it won't melt
the hamburgers in Wendy's are different from the others
the beef pattie is squared instead of round
These much food cost me $10.83
$9.87 plus sales tax
This is the chocolate frosty I just mentioned before
it is Wendy's exclusive dessert
It just like ice cream
the texture is just a little bit looser than ice cream
see the consistency is thinner than ice cream
chocolate frosty and the chili, is Wendy's special food
after the meal, the customer would put trash into the trash can and clean up the table
(the franchise fast food restaurants in China hire people to do that )
every customer will clean up the table after they're done in here
bye, see you next time
