A bit of history for those interested in Crispy McBacon. In Italy I think it is the most loved sandwich (I had read somewhere that 50,000 were consumed per day) and it is an Italian exclusivity because it was born here 30 years ago thanks to the Italian fast food chain "Burghy" which was then bought by McDonalds. It was such a loved burger that they decided to keep it on the classics menu

I work at mcd in Italy and the reason for the gluten free burger to be pre packed is to avoid contamination, since many restaurants don't have separate grills and toaster to make only gluten free items, I also believe it's for cost reduction since they are not very popular.

@@Alby_Torino Absolutely. I live in the US. I see it every day. It has been happening for decades. A lot of people don't care much about what they put in their body... (and I am not just referring to food), and for a few extra dimes they mindlessly just add on to what is a highly caloriic meal. And yes, though I have never seen it with my own eyes, I know that some people would eat those 40 pcs by themselves. However, Mc Donald's has always promoted it as a "sharable". This is more a marketing strategy to relinquish "responsibility" if you will, as the company can always say they never intended that item to be for a single serving. I probably should have said it better in my first comment but I was in a hurry when I left it 😅 What upset me about this video (unless I missed it) is the lack of mentioning of the fact that in Italy McDonald's is seen as a "once in a while" type of meal. Most people would not eat this on a daily basis. First of all, it would be too expensive to sustain it as a daily habit. Second, it would be too expensive to feed a large party. Italians are money savvy when it comes to food. There are plenty of cheaper (not to mention tastier and healthier) alternatives easily available everywhere from North to South. Claudia's reaction to most items she shows comes from that experience exactly. I used to work at Mc in Piacenza, and families would only come for birthday parties. Most office people who didn't bring lunch from home, would choose "competitors" that had better options. Junk food is for a "fun" time out with friends, a sort of transgression... Oh man.

I've got very fancy Italian friends who love this stuff and it doesn't mean they eat it all the time or think it's as good as or superior to traditional Italian cuisine. Everyone in the world loves variety, even the Claudias!. Also, my biggest travel tip for other Americans is telling people they SHOULD visit a McDonalds or Starbucks or places like that at least once when abroad. They're never overcrowded or overpriced tourist traps, and you are immersed with almost all locals who just want a burger or something easy and calorific that day. The people are definitely aren't the type who are "performing" for tourists and it's weirdly a little mental break for you. Plus You really get to appreciate the everyday people that way and it's incredible. I went to a McDonalds in Sweden once and it changed my life, no joke. Of course the food itself that didn't do that, it was seeing how this immigrant woman was actively learning Swedish on the job, and how gracious and friendly the manager was translating my English and limited Swedish into basic Swedish as a second language for the woman training to take orders. It was like we were both learning Swedish in that moment and I would like to think it helped the woman feel less anxious and out of water seeing that I was struggling with her too. Of course I can't speak for her but we had a great moment that I'll remember :)

@@deadzio that's still going on? I remember it was a thing they were doing like 2 years ago. I got to try the German exclusive mcflurry because of that! I just wish they would bring back the snack wraps at least 😂 even Wendy's brought back one of their old school wraps.

fun fact: The Cryspy McBacon was an Italian "invention" from another Italian fast food called 'Burghy'. subsequently McDonald buy it and added it to it's menù

That's exactly what they told in the video..

All good, but you put UK's flag instead of US at start - was thinking wth why Joe is presenting UK lol

Would love to see a Italy vs USA 100Montaditos episode, granted that you’ve got hosts near a location ofc

This was interesting.

Ladies, find you a man that will adore you the way Joe adores the McGriddle

Parmigiano Reggiano 24 months at a bare minimum🤤

Joe not being able to name Pikachu physically hurt me

I cannot imagine, not even for a second, going to a place like Italy- a food lover's dream destination -and consuming McDonalds.

Claudia’s amazing and cheese talk should be a regular part of the show!

You did miss a fry size. It could be market-dependent but here in North Carolina we can get the basket of fries which is $3.99 I believe

can't beat the italian traditional cheeses in hamburgers! and the tasty cold cuts! asiago and caciocavallo seems like great choices!

If someone asks you about making Cheese in Italy 🇮🇹 can you start off by saying “Yo Asiago….”? 😂

Editing error in the intro. it has the UK flag instead of the US in it. 0:07

Coffee from mcdonalda in my country tastes like coffee flavoured water, but we have local places like Mug&Bean for proper coffee

Where I live in Italy the peak hour at McD is probably at 2/3 AM on Saturday nights, after people exit the night clubs go there to eat something and there are even bodyguard at the entry

Disagree! Yes, the McDouble was initially conceived of as part of their "$1 menu", but it has stayed because they somehow fell upon the absolute pinnacle of "Mcburgerness" in the meat/cheese/bun condiment ratio of the McDouble......AND they're a great value!

I see Claudia I click

We really need the 40 box of nuggets option, I hate having to order two 20 boxes

Nice!

Six or seven years ago when I worked at McDonald’s in America, there was a similar line to the “gourmet” burgers in Italy that included a sweet bbq bacon burger as well as, my favorite, the maple bacon Dijon burger

A German guy I knew once told me that in his opinion the quality of Mcdonald's is pretty much the same all over the world. In some countries that is a good thing, and in some countries that is a bad thing.

Bad, I’m afraid is true for a few of them. Especially in India, where the cow is considered sacred.

Phwor the SIZE of the Italian burgers! They all looked and sounded like they would be from a bistro not fast food chain 😋

I’d love to see an episode about the dutch MacDonalds menu!

Crispy Mcbacon is the best

In my area, they have another pie....cookies and creme. I agree with Joe, the apple pie has not been the same since they stopped frying it. I still eat them, but onky because I like cooked apples.

Why? Try another country 😅I never heard of it, always fried

And this is why I avoid fast food. The only two items I’ll eat is hot cakes and the fish fillet with no sauce and that is it. The orange blast is really good though.

You should try subbing the griddles for the biscuits and gravy

I hope the Cheese Talk is a recurring segment in food wars

Love the croissant options in Italy. Some of those other options looked too massive. Odd Tiramisu is not a dessert option but is on their breakfast menu. Good it is an option. But, is it available 24/7?

This guy is not capable to recognize Pikachu... Did he live in a cave for 30 years or what ? Anyway in Europe, we are too poor to get Pokémon card in our Happy Meals...

I love the avocado burger!!

Big Mac combo meal has gone up to over $11 US? Damn! I live in Norway now but lived in Minnesota until 1994 and I then paid less than $5 and that was for a Super Size combo meal they had back then.

I love Claudia ❤

Claudia's SMILE makes my day. Love to see her interact and Talk more. ❤️😇

This was funny and enjoyable to watch. “Joe f*cks with it” lmao

Oh my I feel disappointed when it comes to that happy meal bit that Joe doesn't know it's a Pikachu. One the most iconic character on the planet

I like how the American iced coffee like 42 oz of ice and water with syrup...👍

Claudia always gets a thumbs up, I just cant help it. It's like an involuntary reaction.

Interesting, i like how she explains things and not just try to randomly entertain people. She counts stories, gives explanations. I didn't know about caciocavallo (which i guess is horse cheese, caballo in spanish), used to see them in the markets when i often go grocery shopping, but never tried it. Definitely will do next time I'm there and will try to find a Buffala one cause it must exist ! Thought the US rations would be so much larger though, surprising

It's true that "cacio" stands for cheese and "cavallo" stands for horse. But it's a misleading name: caciocavallo is made with cow's milk. It's more difficult (but still possible) to find it made of bufala milk. No horse milk though... The origin of the name is actually a mystery! There are many theories, I'll tell you two: 1. cacio del cavallo, a cheese typically used in travel on horseback and therefore the name indicates a real horse. 2. cacio a cavallo, from the italian way of saying "a cavallo" (literally translates as "on horseback"), is used like in english you do with "straddle" to describe something that is figuratively positioned as a man on a horse (the cacio for maturing was tied in pairs to the ends of a rope and the rope was then placed "a cavallo" on a horizontal pole with the two cheeses dangling on both sides of the beam, like a man's legs when he's on horseback).

Yo I think I found my favorite person after Harry! I like Claudia ❤ her voice is soothing and I’ve seen her in the other videos! Plus she was funny in the KFC vid!

I'm from Italy and apart from a few differences, it's mostly identical stuff. Food commodities are sourced from different places, sure but the end result is somewhat similar. What I envy of the US McDonald's is some breakfast stuff like the bagels. We have the McMuffin but it's not really the same imo. What we do have that in the US don't is the McToast which is absolutely legendary and I suggest you to try it out at a local Mc, should you find yourself visiting here. Oh and panzarotti with mozzarella ... obviously.

That’s what I find unique about international McDonald’s. Other countries can add a few uniquely made items. America cannot because… it’s not in America. We are the blueprint of the original items and cannot celebrate international for some reason😅
