Naan-dough's
Gutted for Wimpy only hitting the C tier but at least you went to a good outlet "The Blue"
Lolll american fast food is Poison is bull sh it
Fk américain food
I think pretty much everyone in the UK has a go to Nandos order.
For me?
5 extra hot wings, regular chips and tomato salad.
Then I pour the extra, extra hot sauce on the side to dip the chips in.
Delicious.
I'm from Germany but I'm in the UK pretty often, Nando's is GOATED
nandos is south african tho
That’s a dead meal deal
Nando's is not british its South African and went viral thanks to Australia
Nandos is not British. Weve already been colonized once please dont steal our food as well.
That food was overloaded for the camera.
Wetherspoons are soulless and there food isn’t “cooked”, it appears to be heated up from bags in a microwave. To give it a top tier ranking is ridiculous.
simple simple americans lol, also nandos is portuguese not affrican mate.
You’ve been to the UK twice and you still haven’t been out for a traditional British roast dinner. Come back soon!
our culture has diluted about 50% enjoy it whilst it lasts, we are nearly unrecognizable.
can't fault 'Spoons on price but on most other criteria they are a massive fail. Some of the most depressing places to drink imaginable. Especially late at night.
Taxi dude used his Clubcard for those meal deals 😂 your taxi ride wasn't free 😂
S tier for weather spoons cmon
An S tier for spoons is actually crazy man LMAO
Never get fish and chips from an establishment that is not a chippy
No such thing as a British accent
It’s called English!!
Tikka masala was made in Scotland, it wasn’t brought over. Triggered me, sorry 😂
No Morleys?
Legend and thank u for coming here my good man ❤❤❤🎩
Sir while ur here would u possibly try a roast dinner ❤❤
Giving Spoons an S is insane…
Wetherspoon is definitely an S teir
What a great collab! Tom the taxi driver is the best! I watch all of his videos!
Watched jon so much before i came to NY… Now to see him here trying all our stuff is great haha love it!
Tom was wrong about the food origins. Tikka masala was developed in UK not brought here, and Donor kebab was developed in Germany by Turk ex pats
Some 35 years ago there was a Wimpy in my Dutch hometown. Quite small with 75-80k inhabitants.
Come on, how can you call Weatherspoons fast food. They’re a bar that sells food. What about the chippers? How can you do a vid on British fast food and not do Fish and Chips?
Do a collab with ur twin next
Pretty disappointed you got taken to GDK instead of a proper Turkish Kebab house where you could have had a Lamb Doner Kebab,
If you'd tried one of those you would have rated GDK MUCH lower and put the Turkish Lamb Doner into 'S' category
London is slightly more populous and two and a half times the physical size of New York City so it's a big place
Nandos is NOT British. It’s South African.
