Tribal People Try Five Guys
About this video
In this Tribal People Try episode it's Five Guys fast food. The tribe look it over, ask the questions anyone would, and then taste it and give the honest answer.
What is fast food?
Fast food means the chains: McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Subway, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and the rest, with menus that taste the same in Lahore and Los Angeles. Most of these videos are the tribe's first visit to one, or the menu brought out to the village.
Five Guys began in Arlington, Virginia in 1986; burgers are hand-formed, fries are cooked in peanut oil, and the sacks of potatoes are stacked in the dining room.
What to watch for
The packaging gets as much attention as the food. Then the food is judged the way everything is: is there enough spice, is the bread fresh, is the meat real. Fried things win; sweet sauces lose.
The comparison they always make
Pakistan has had KFC since 1997 and McDonald's since 1998, mostly in cities. For people from a village a few hours away, the brand is known and the taste is not.
