  • All jokes aside, the total calories/per dollar measurement is genius, it'll help a lot of people who have financial struggles forreal.
  • As a southerner, I LOVE that the differing connotation between "...you good?" And "...Ya'll good?" Basiccally set this whole chain in order
  • My great grandfather met the owner of chic fil a when he was setting up a new shop in a brand new mall. This was when chic fil a was a fairly new place. If I remember right, my great grandpa saw him setting up and asked if he needed help. Afterwards the owner cooked him some lunch and talked to him for a while. This was on a Sunday. This makes my great grandpa one of the few if not only person to be served chic fil a on a sunday

    i'm honestly disappointed you never once called this whole issue a "clustercluck" dude. really dropped the ball.
  • @Patterrz
    I never thought i'd be so interested in the science of Fast Food
  • 1:02 I honestly just love the fact that he openly admits to the fact that he would have made up the term "The Chicken Sandwich Wars" as an excuse to slap battle armor on a chicken
  • @Rios-ov3xi
    As a person who forgets to feed myself often, the ability to walk down to Burger King and get 1200 calories in a sandwich meal has honesty really really been a lifesaver sometimes. When I haven’t eaten in 20 hours, the ability to get 20 hours worth of calories in one sandwich is helpful, lol.

    'y'all good?" not even close to as bad as "bless your heart" (southerners will get this)
  • @cracdealer9007
    To be totally honest, sometimes I find food theory to be more intertaining than matpat's other channels just because not only is it one of the most relatable because well, it's literally about FOOD, but also because it tends to be the most light-hearted of all. It's kinda nice to have a break from dead children once in a while. Also, Popeyes master-race.
  • I really take for granted how much effort you and your team put into each of these videos. I love watching every one of them, no matter the subject.
  • @brandanreese123
    What's hilarious is I did this test myself by shopping around for every chicken sandwich in my area and you achieved the same top three and the order as I found. Chic-fil-et got like 4th place on my list

    10-15 years ago Wendy's had the best Spicy Chicken sandwich. The patties were thick & juicy but then I noticed the patties started to get smaller & not so juicy. I still order one every now & again but it's not the same. Screw corporate budget cuts.
  • As a chicken lover, I see all the chicken burgers as an absolute win
  • @texaschick74
    I just had a Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich last weekend. It was DELICIOUS! Wendy's spicy chicken asiago was my previous go to but Popeyes makes a dang good sandwich too!
  • 4:00 “We’ve found the optimal fry order, the optimal fountain drink order-“ sad optimal pizza order noises
  • mat pat :hhmm i think the sound of this sandwiches is more MOIST
  • @nafspark
    Also, most of these chains have had fried chicken sandwiches for years (if not decades). The difference is that the recent chicken sandwich wars have involved southern style chicken sandwiches, in many cases replacing the previous (dare I call them 'classic'?) versions.
