Jack is surprisingly a very kind person and has a sharp mind for his age as he remembered me from the first time we’ve met. Hungry Jack’s has come a long way since the current CEO Chris Green took over. Chris himself has visited my store and I can see he is very passionate for the brand and growth of this industry. We would not have been where we are today without him and team he’s lead. I’ve been lucky enough to meet them both on multiple occasions.

If you want a burger that doesn't drip oil, you go to HJ's. They are honestly better. The burger bites taste exactly like a cheeseburger and it confuses my brain lol. Their coffee isn't as good as Maccas, though. They have proper cut chips, not fries. Ultimately, it depends on how much heart attack you feel like as to whether you get Hungries or Maccas.

The reason why it's phrases "The burgers are better at Hungry Jacks" is because back then it said "The burgers are bigger at Hungry Jacks"

Want a better burger in Oz just head down to your local fish & chip shop you have to wait for 15 mins but at least you won't feel sick after eating it!

I think we had the chicken chips as a special item a few years back. Can remember the Hunger Tamers Boxes coming out as a response to KFC’s boxed meals (Burger, 3 wings, potato/gravy vs 2 burgers, 3 nuggets). But Hungries was always the less popular - when you’re a kid you tend to stray towards Maccas. Everyone starts with a Happy Meal with Nuggets or a Cheeseburger, which is very safe, few veggies - just sneak the pickle to your sibling or parent. Then you evolve to a McChicken which only has lettuce, also very kid friendly or a Big Mac which also has a safe combination of lettuce and mushed onions. But the signature HJ’s Whopper has lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayo and in some instance beetroot. Texturally it’s often a bit too much to start with, and you probably only appreciate it when you get older. But what I do remember was HJ always had much better deals, and they’d given the vouchers back to you. In the 90s we used to get 2 Whoppers for $3. My father, if buying dinner for the family would just go in and say I’d like 4 whoppers for $6 and they’d just do it.

Im in Perth we say HJ's

I worked at HJs for nearly 3 years (in Adelaide), and it's worth knowing that the ingredient boxes they get are literally Burger King branded. They're direct from actual BK.

All of us kids who grew up in Western Australia only had HJs till Maccas arrived in 1982. HJs was made fresh to order, you could add and take items on the burgers, and we had multiple party's there. The menu used to have hotdogs and yumbos on it. When Maccas arrived, they wouldnt let you change items in the burger, and they werent fresh to order. You can usually tell someones age by which outlet they prefer.

Here's another interesting fact about my town (Adelaide) When Hilton Hotels wanted to open a new hotel in Adelaide they couldn't call it Hilton Hotel. We have a suburb just out of town called (wait for it) Hilton. Guess what, there was already a Hilton Hotel. The American company did what all American companies like to do. They tried to sue. They lost. The name of their hotel is called The Hilton International Hotel.

A Hungry Jacks employee here. The burger bites are a promotional item. We change the promotional items about every 3 months. A week after publishing this video our promo changed to chicken fries. The hunger tamers Box is 1 burger (your choice) and 1 small burger (either bbq cheeseburger or chicken Royale) which are on a 4" diameter bun and only has meat, cheese & sauce or chicken lettuce and mayonnaise. Also keep in mind that the whopper is also a smaller bun and patty than in the states. The medium iced coffee is around $4.50AUD so you save a dollar and a half with the app although you can get much better offers on there. We still offer paper vouchers that people can print/collect and redeem for some similar priced deals if they don't want to use an app. Jacks cafe is a direct competitor to McCafe and is quite popular especially amongst older people as our restaurants are a lot less crowded than McDonald's. As for calling it HJ's it isn't all too common. Most people will say Hungry Jacks but it is pronounced "H-ae-ch J-ae-y-s" once you are use to it, it can also roll off the tongue.

Here in OZ the burgers at McDonalds are like eating cardboard, but at HJs the burgers are juicy and they have flavour ❤❤

I’m not Gordon Ramsay but I can tell the difference between food and shit. I’ve never eaten there since, but it’s always interesting to see different perspectives, and people having good customer experiences rather than the awful one we had

HJ's are far more liberal with the veggies and other things added than maccas. also far less greasy. which is sometimes what you want, a big greasewad can really hit the spot sometimes, but the usual things I get from HJ's actually feel like your eating actual food. in my area its pretty much always HJ's never heard it called just hungries. but keep in mind you have to pronounce it as an aussie, we would never pronounce each letter individually

Hungry Jack's main competitor in Australia is Maccas. Maccas has McCafe, so HJ has Jack's Cafe. And HJ's main tagline is "the burgers are better". Advertising laws and basic common sense means they can't mention whose burgers they're better than, but it's obvious in context. I'd say some products are, but not every product line, as you'd expect.

"The burgers are better at Hungry Jack's" is their advertising slogan and, by, "better", they are referring to McDonald's, their closest competitor.

The "better" & made "your way" is just in comparison with McDonalds. Jacks cafe is just the coffee & cake section (it's not popular, if you want a decent coffee/cake, you go to an actual cafe). - Abbreviation for Hungry Jacks in Australia, Millennials may call it HJ's, but everyone else refers to it as "Hungrys" (like Macca's for McDonalds).

We just call it "Hungrys". I don't recall hearing anyone say "HJs".

What!! Nothing better than a bit of dead horse on your chips!!

It’s because you guys have about 10 different popular fast food burger joints while we for years really only had the two that did BURGERS with drive through etc - and that was Maccas and Hungry Jacks. So the better is better than “the other guy” !

about a decade ago all the major fast food chains stopped premaking burgers and had to making to order which means it's not anywhere near as fast as it used to be..... also new australian owned chain brands are so on point macas and hungry jacks have to offer better quality of food. examples of aussie chains: huxtaburger, lord of the fries, bettys burgers, red rooster. etc.

I remember being confused by the crown as a child. I didn't know of the connection to burger king.

The iced coffees are typically $4.50-$5.50 depending on type and size. And if you want to jump into the ordering system to check out the menu and prices, you'll need to skirt the geoblocking, most likely with a VPN that has an Australian end point you can select.

Hey Ryan the “better” slogans are for comparison to maccas actually, HJ and maccas are big rivals here as there isn’t many take away chains to compete with that mostly make burgers and fries. Hungry Jacks recently restored their Big Jack burger, which maccas complained about in the past being a rip off of a Big Mac. They can come in both beef and chicken varieties. Most people would often get a better tasting burger at a take away shop as someone else mentioned. More likely to include fresher ingredients such as beet root. I am in Tasmania and there’s a lot of nice mom & pop take away places or one off great quality places to eat compared to big name franchise take aways. Once such place is called hash burger, #burger being their branding to tie in with social media popularity etc.

The best burgers from HJ and maccas are the double whopper or double quarter pounder because the cheese makes it edible. The sides menu is always changing because they only release dog food garbage.

It was the public who renamed Hungry Jacks to HJ’s and it flows off our tongues quite naturally 😁

We call it "hungrys" over here in Australia

Hey Ryan from the otherside of the tube. As far as I remember BK did try a comeback and compete with HJ but failed and eventually sold stores back in the early 2000.

Most people I know say they are going to 'Jacks' when they mean HJ's. "The burgers are better than Macca's' is the inference. They also had 'Flame Grilled' for a long time to distinguish the two brands.

HJs is the Pinnacle of Fine Dinning in Australia. You won't find any better. Deluxe Double Whoppers are Life.

We have chicken chippies, that are a seasonal appearance and come back every now and then on the menu.

the difference is we have much stricter food standards

Hey Ryan, Insider Food do comprehensive country comparisons of franchise offerings. The burgers are better at HJs but like some have commented, inferior to local (independent) takeaways. HJ sold the Aussie burger (traditional "works burger") for a long time, for good reason!

We just call it hungrys. "I'm heading to hungrys, want anything?"

We still had the Burger King, at least in the 70s and 80s (not sure if its still a thing now). If you had a birthday party at Hungry Jacks in, say, the 1970s, you would likely have your icecream birthday cake bought out to you by a guy dressed up as the Burger King (or Ronald McDonald if you had a Macca's birthday party). I don't think it was ever actually explained why Hungry Jack's had a Burger King, we all just kind of accepted it.

HJs has chicken fries, but theyre a time-limited menu item. I dont know if its still true, but we used to be a test market in the 90's/00's, where they'd try new things here, and only spread them to other markets if they made it past a certain popularity.

Aussies have high standards when it comes to our food, so we demand certain items on our burgers, like fresh salad items, fresh eggs, fresh meat, etc. Their slogan, “The burgers are better at Hungry Jack’s” simply means they’re better than other burger joints, in particular, Macca’s.

The chicken fries aren’t permanent on HJ menu but appear promotional for limited times. Yes they are good

recently found your channel and enjoying your vids, i grew up here in au, anyway cut to the chase, burgers from mcdonalds (maccas) compared to hungry jacks (yeah we dont say hjs) are night and day, dont get me wrong maccas use good sauces but their burgers almost seem microwaved.. doesnt feel like theres a guy flippin burgers in the back, you go to hungry jacks and its obvious those burger patties have a flame grill taste just tens time better, anyway they recently won some award for like best coffee from a take away place and theyve only been doin it for like 2 years compared to mccafe been around nearly a decade, ive been using that thing on the app you were hovering above buy 4 get 1 free its actually lit, so you buy the medium caps for $2 each through the app (in store or drive thru without using the app is like 3.20 or something) you spend $8 for the 4 medium caps then for the free coffee (buy 4 get 1 free) you can choose a large cap (normally $5) and its a freebie, thats just the tip of the iceberg, they have these app rewards or app deals where you always save at least $5 for meals etc

HJs was a complete franchise copy of Burger King and the agreement was that HJs will own the exclusivity of the Burger King franchise in Australia under the name of Hungry Jacks but the conditions were that Burger King can NEVER open up in Australia, thus being a kind of Australian brand

Best burger chain business in Australia is Grilled but it is not a fast food restaurant. Honestly, though the local take away generally is better than anything from a fast food restaurant.

I just watched this last night and I woke up to Hungry Jacks advertising that they now have chicken fries

Ryan, that was a pretty cool video, bro. As an Aussie, when we say that we are going to Hungry Jacks for lunch or dinner most of the time we just say we're going to Jack's. Keep up the good work. Ryan, I hope you & your wonderful family are having a really awesome day/night. 🇦🇺✌️🤠🔥🥤🍟🍔

Aussie consumers are very quick to pick up tech, even compared to the US. For example, our banks focus more attention to their apps than their websites. Some anything that you can order online is pretty well presented.

As an Aussie, my family has allows referred to Hungry Jacks as Hungry's. With Hungry's vouchers you get a lot for cheap, though where I live, there is now close by Hungry's so I have to settle for fast-food Macca's and KFC. Hungry's also uses the word "better" because they are in competition with Macca's.

People quite often drop off Hungry and just call it Jack.

I started listing my favourite burgers & HJs was my #1 I kept going back to it for a few hours. We used to have chicken fries, we called them chicken chippies & for a while (atleast in Sydney CbD) they sold them in reflective cups to deter seagulls

Nope, he didn't name it after himself, he basically named it after the US Hungry Jack boxed pancake mix just cause he liked it. It was just a coincidence its his name 😁

HJs is just a natural Australian word so we can say it very easily

UR CAMERA IS CLEANNN❤❤

The burger bites were pretty good. I liked them because I could taste pickle. They already got rid of them.

Why is KitKat made by Hershey in USA? Kit Kat's coolest flavors aren't sold in the US. Here's why ... A few years later, Rowntree's renamed the product Kit Kat Chocolate Crisp. Rowntree's Kit Kat bars. After manufacturing and distributing Kit Kat for decades, the British company entered into a
