I Tried Working In a Fast Food Restaurant

For years I've been at war with fast food these are billiondoll corporations that I've always felt like weren't giving us what we deserve but I don't know what it's like to work behind the counter today that all changes i'm actually going to be working at what I consider to be the best fast food restaurant in America jollibee they've won many of our challenges and we're right next to their headquarters obviously my years of fining experience will help me right i'll be taking orders working the fryers and handling everything in between all while the head chef of Jollibee North America puts me through a day of intense training and he is not going to make this easy for me because after my lessons my name really is on the line as my cooking will be judged by one of the internet's harshest critics will I meet my beloved Jollibee's gold standard or will I flop it all starts here at the register i'm here with my friend Russell he's going to walk me through how to run this thing you take your orders over here chicken tenders your chicken sandwiches god there's so many buttons i'm like "Okay so walk me through an order then." Customer orders chicken joy with two sides and a drink pick two piece chicken they want fries finish order and then the total amount go ahead and tap their card okay okay first of all I've never worked front of house and I've never worked a kiosk like this should be interesting i can smile giving that jolly spirit to them show us your jolly spirit you want to see my jolly spirit all trained up ready to go and I got thrown in the deep end right away oh hello jolly morning how are you what can I get for you today of course so bucket meal deal all right here we go we got to start off strong

extra plates and napkins for you thank you for coming yeah we'd love to see you again all right great job again register complete now on to our next challenge i've never seen one of these up close before feel official holding it am I Am I popping all right same exact procedure of how we did it in the counter normally two people out here one person takes the order and one person assembles the order so today we'll probably do a little bit of everything sounds good or maybe you can multitask right i I I will I will try it's time for my first customer oh my god I'm nervous there's a car hi Jolly Morning what could I get for you i would like to order 10 pieces chicken joy spicy how many pieces 10 pieces 10 pieces got it three orders of pineapple punch three orders of pineapple punch no

harder than it looks you want to thank him for his patience right cuz I'm slow today guys thank you for your patience i appreciate I'm learning today have a jolly morning and uh drive safe great job i did it guys oh my god front of house done and dusted i'll be honest that pushed me way outside my comfort zone with it being front of house but this next task should be familiar actually cooking but then again I've never done it in a fast food kitchen so I'm set up to make three things they're chicken sandwiches burgers and finally my all-time favorite fast food fried chicken the coveted Chicken Joy for years I've been trying to get a behind-the-scenes look on how they make it so gosh darn good and I'm finally almost there but first a big challenge awaits me i need to get Jollibee and Chef Dion's gold standard stamp of approval on the chicken sandwiches then the burger before I can even get near the chicken joy it's a mountain I'm prepared to climb time to put my skills to the test so I'm not going to show you it all but I'm just going to tell you and we're going to follow along we'll start with the buns bio are on the bottom grab a good bio something nice and round crown goes away from you heel goes towards you down in the toaster oven so this way uh no there you go grab a fillet wow oh my gosh so crisp our dress station oh wow bun's already done grab the umami mayo this guy here yep okay got it one shot on each okay oh wow it comes out trifecta this is why you guys saw stuff so well look at that filt goes on crown goes on chicken sandwich wrapper oh my god it's so It's so hard to grab with these gloves original sandwich facing up on the packaging so you got original chicken sandwich so that faces away from you oh okay in the middle flip forward from the bottom and then flip over and you fold the corners in nice tight package and then under Perfect look at that dude so much chicken in here can't even keep it round next we are doing the spicy deluxe bio bun on the bottom toward a like this grab your pan get a fillet h Sriracha on bottom okay beautiful two-piece jalapenos filet goes on top perfectly centered then it's tomato lettuce so the restaurant's still running right now by the way i'm I'm in everyone's way god this is so hard to get with these gloves i ended up getting two spicy chicken sandwich here deluxe sorry deluxe spicy yes there's four oh my god this goes centered okay bottom you got to fold one only grab two you got to only fold one packaging oh god so fold up why am I having so much trouble with this okay one up come on Josh bend the next one i want it to look good the coordination is crazy bend this way and then fold it under not great so a little messy we're going to have to work on your saucy hands that's not quite gold okay okay we'll do this one again we'll do this one again not quite cutting it fair play now it's time for my gold standard test no help from Chef Dion at all i'm I'm going to be hands off now buns in going to make it easier on myself with a more even patty crazy fast honestly sriracha bottom bun throw it on your jalapenos chicken fillet tomatoes topped up with lettuce and crown your king we need to nail it this time all done in record time but did I do it right gold Sanders okay oh my god you've met the gold stand for chicken sandwiches let's move on to burgers next we're going to do our cheeseburgers you guys just updated this this is like a brand new it's a classic burger bun in the middle these are butter toasted so roll it on the butter roller both sides got it there you go i love the butter roller i've used one of these before actually grab your meat got it oh wow okay to hit consistency everything is on a timer we're going to hit the timer and we'll know when to flip butter the grill okay beef down now we're going to season on the bun we're going to start constructing we're going to grab our dressing on the crown only draw a W with your ketchup a W yeah riceman oh that's a pretty good W dude w three rings of onions three pickles okay all right then we turn back to our beef you're going to flip it when it beeps it flips there you go beautiful cheese on top i got This is a pretty decent Mayard that's not bad not bad i'm not mad thermometer you want it fully cooked give her a little flip boom boom all right and this is the cheese so this one right here all right that's a good looking burger i actually really want to eat that now that I walked you through it I'm going to see if we can make a burger on your own just so you know we will be judging you on how much of that sear you keep on that burger right right that's very fair i think you should first the bun obviously butter boom toast that so butter it generously go here get our patty okay gloves toasted buns top bun ketchup okay three onion rings pickles waiting for it to loosen all right we got it cheese temp check okay burger over cheeseburger okay cheeseburger what do we think what are we thinking that looked like beautiful my yard fully covered you've hit the gold standard on this one let's move on to chicken joy this is This is it this is the one this is the one that's won all the challenges i finally get to know how it's made all right we're finally here finally i think my chicken's great i make great fried chicken i'm not going to lie but there's something about the chicken joy that I'm always like "What am I not doing?" So hopefully I'll learn that it's in the breading it's in the tumbling and we're going to show you today start breading tumble be aggressive at it you want to You want to just fold it over itself like that yeah yeah aggressive tumble no bald spots wonderful i'm like nervous it's I I cannot put out bad chicken here and then we're going to alternate thigh and leg you can fit all of them on the rack you got it you got it all right thigh leg and isn't it cool if they touch a little bit yep okay thigh we go down here leg thigh leg leg i didn't know you were hand breading all this like you guys are cooking real fried chicken this isn't any different than it would be in a restaurant a nonfast food restaurant got to be alternating you got leg next to leg oh and I have thigh next to thigh so oh got it got it got it got it got it and thigh will go here look this might look easy but with the amount of chicken tetris we're playing here a lot of mistakes could happen all right I think you're missing a piece search your breading all right grab one more piece you can fit one more piece in there on the bottom row there's an intricate science to max this out no then we have thigh next to thigh though in between these two legs you can fit one more piece all right good with that yeah yeah let's drop it so this is a pressure fryer we use pressure fryers for all our chicken joy that retains that moisture and gives it that glassy crisp we're going to slide the rack into the third one down right here that one is stuck got it okay take that one down and put it on the level right above pull down yep yeah put some muscle into it until it clicks back up okay and then pull it forward so pull it forward and then down again so all right so we close it and it's and it's cooking and then you press start you already pressed it for me i pressed it for you okay thank you so we wait and now we find out if I did it right and after a small slumber it was time to see my hopefully perfect chicken joy wow that's your chicken joy it's looking good dude but it's not over yet there's still one more crucial step before it's judged against Jollibee gold standard my favorite part get to put the spicy flags on you put one on everything on everyone i want like a hundred of these for my house flags in chicken joy complete time for the gold standard judgment take a look at our breading all right beautifully craggly beautifully craggly we got bald spots here we can do with more breading here this one here we got to like unfold the skin in a little bit more make sure that it's covered josh unfortunately you did not pass let's go do it again okay I got this second time's a shark all right Josh second time round let's see how you did crispy crispy crispy 100% gold standard let's go dude we've nailed the gold standard on each item individually now let's see how you handle full order under pressure for a live customer uncle Joshua jolly morning Uncle Roger how are you good good you
