What's The Best Reheated Fast Food Burger?

Which fast food bacon burgers make the best leftovers? Let's talk about that. ((Intro Music)). Good Mythical Morning. If you're interested in finding the best. bacon cheeseburger. When reheated, you've come to the right place. Why would you want to do that? Well. A number of reasons. I know in college, you would get a bunch of. Big Macs, stuff them in our college freezer, and then.

microwave those over the course of the week because. they had a Big Mac deal. Maybe you live, like, really far away from your favorite. bacon cheeseburger place, and so when you go once, you. want to stock up at home and know you're getting the best. Maybe, you are eating a Big Mac and. then you get distracted. And then you forget about it, and then you remember it. later, and then you put it in the back of the fridge, and now you got a half Big Mac that you gotta get at.

the next couple of days. Or maybe you're, like, stealing from somebody's. house, and you, like, look in the back of their. fridge, and there's a bunch of bacon cheeseburgers. Which, which one do you heat up? There's all kinds of realistic scenarios. We got you! That you may want to, that may relate to this. But we're about to reheat some bacon cheeseburger. that somebody forgot about in the back of the. fridge, and find out! It's time for Restaurant Reheated Signature Bacon. Cheeseburger Edition. ((Upbeat Music)). - [Stevie] Okay, pappies.

Today is all about the best leftover fast food. bacon cheeseburgers. And first up, you're gonna taste a fresh. Baconator from Wendy's. And one that's been in the fridge for three days. Then give the day's old Baconator a score of 1 to 10. based on how good it holds up to its original essence. - [Link] Good gracious, homie. We were talking to somebody yesterday about how you do. not sleep on the Baconator. We, I mean, we, I thought we were getting paid. by Wendy's by the end of the conversation. It's a very good fast food burger.

He was like, it's not too much? I'm like, it's not too much. No. Now, I have a proposal for how I'm gonna do this. Get down on one knee. Link, we've been friends for a really long time. And I think that I'm gonna, in my mind, give this a score. Then we're gonna heat this one up. Okay. 90 seconds at 70 percent power as according to. the Mythical Kitchen.

Time, cook, 90 seconds, power level 7. Then we're going to taste it and I'm gonna. give that a score. Okay, in your mind. In my mind. And then I'm going to, whatever the difference in. the scores is, I'm going to. And then that's the number you're gonna say out loud? I'm gonna subtract that from 10. And that's gonna be my score. If they taste exactly the same, 10 minus zero is 10. Right. Cause we're not saying how good these are compared.

to other burgers, it's how good is the reheated one. compared to the original? Which one holds up best? Algebra, if you will. Can I press start? Press, press start, please. All right, here we go. I'm gonna call for a clock wipe. ((Clock Ticking)). Oh, we're here! We did it! We successfully heated up this burger. Does it feel nice and, oh. Does it? We may have gone a little. I'm predicting that this is a very reheatable burger.

because there's no. The elements. There's no. Oh, it's hot. There's no veggies on it. Maybe we should have gone a little bit less. Oh, yeah? Ooh, goodness. I can't pick it up. Clock wipe. Clock wipe. ((Laughing)). ((Clock Ticking)). Okay. Oh, it's still hot. Yeah. I mean, it's hot. It's gonna be hotter on the outside than the middle. There's no lettuce. Is it burnable? Is it gonna burn me? A little bit. Oh, it's steaming, homie. Oh! Oh, that, that mayonnaise is hot.

((Laughing)). We gotta go less next time. We gotta go 60 seconds at 70 percent power. Just try it! I don't wanna burn myself, dude. You gotta keep it moving around the. inside of your mouth. It's a game. Okay, there's obviously a difference. It's still a good burger. I'm going back to the original. How old is this? - [Stevie] Three days. Three days? In the fridge. - [Stevie] Yeah. You can taste those three days.

Especially coming back to this. The beef is compromised. And there's so much beef that it's like more of. the bite is compromised. Again, it's not bad. I mean, at least there's no lettuce is what. I was trying to say. The bacon. Is the bacon okay? The bacon holds up better than the beef, doesn't it?

Yeah. Maybe overcooking, ow! Good gosh. We've gone too hard. The bun. The bun holds up. The bun hole is up. I think it went from a solid eight, down to a. five, which is a difference of three, which means I'm. going to give it a seven. I'm disappointed in that beef because Wendy's. beef is so good and it just didn't happen.

I'm gonna notch it down once. That doesn't feel, yeah, seven feels too high. Even for me. Well then you're going with a six? My system doesn't work. Alright. Six. Alright, then I'm going for a nice average five. For a total of 11. ((Upbeat Music)). - [Stevie] Up next we have the Jack in the Box Bacon. and Swiss Buttery Jack. Oh, Buttery Jack. Buttery Jack. Look at that. It's trying to hold on to itself.

I am, this will be a first time for me. Uninitiated. Well, look at that bun, Link. Oh, wow. It is bulbous. What's happening? Let me get some of this here. I like how you're, you're cutting, but. you're also pinching. Yeah, I need a sharper knife. I don't know what's, what I think about that, but I think I like it. Nothing but meat, cheese, bacon.

Is there even mayo? There's a special sauce of some kind. - [Stevie] It's a garlic herb butter. Oh, goodness, look at that. That is buttery. - [Stevie] And creamy bacon mayo, both of those. It's no Baconator. I'll tell you that right now. I like it. I don't dislike it at all, but. The garlic butter on this thing is kicking hard. Well, let's see what happens after 60 seconds. at 70 percent power. Now, should I leave the paper on?

Sometimes what I'll do is. Put a paper towel over it. I'll wet a paper towel and drape it. Right, but we didn't do that to begin with. No, we didn't. Also, use a plate. Okay, I'll use my plate. Cook time 60 because we learn our lesson. Power level 70 percent. Start. I smell a clock wipe. ((Clock Ticking)). Oh! Okay. I have a serrated knife, Link.

I thought maybe that might work better. We already had a plate. Okay, so you're gonna cut that. Cause you didn't like my pinches. And don't pinch it. It's hot. We're still too hot. But look how soft that is. I gotta pinch it. It's too hot. I can't hold it. It's not too crispy. Oh, I can smell that. I can smell that. Three days.

Burger Boggs, we call it. Wow. Is it the bun that's hurting? Oh gosh. It's got more Boggs. This is not nearly as good as the Wendy's one. We might have to adjust our score. We're on a scale of one to five now. For me. No, don't change it.

No, we're not changing it. But this is clearly not as good as the Baconator. I would have thought, because it was one piece of meat. Eating it fresh is nice. That would have held up. I like it just as good as the Baconator, fresh. Oh, wow. The sauce that makes this thing what it is, gone. Completely. Eradicated. By the passage of time and microwave. I give it a three.

I'm gonna give it a two. Oh. It's really bad to me. Well, what if it gets way worse? What, are you gonna do? Go negative? It, I can't imagine it getting much worse than this. Well, let's find out, for a total of five. ((Upbeat Music)). - [Stevie] Up next we have the Carl's Jr. Sourdough Star. Oh, the star. There's paper on paper in this thing. Ooh, uh oh. Lettuce alert! Okay, yep. Now, Rhett, as an industrial engineer, with, an.

emphasis on efficiency, I would like to point out. that I should go ahead and be doing this at the same. time that you're doing that. Ah, yes, Link. So that we can get things going. You read the comments. And I am going for 45 seconds, because we've. been burning ourselves. Power level 70%. Start. Even though now we don't even need a clock. wipe that's a shame. Well, let's see. I like eating with the. I've just removed. the need of a clock wipe. Hey, we saved a little editing budget money.

Doesn't that look? Oh gosh. There's a trap. That's good. That tomato's gonna be a problem. Is it good though? I love a sourdough bun. I just do. You can't talk me out of it. You can try. I won't listen. I like it. I like it a little less than the Jack in the. Box, which I like the same as the Baconator. I don't think you need lettuce on a bacon cheeseburger.

I'm ready to cut. I really miss not having the clock wipe, though. Well, they can probably put one in and just. not take anything out. Yeah. Ooh, man, this one. Should we have taken the lettuce off before. we put it in there? No, no. It's part of it. But nobody wants to do that. Some people like hot lettuce. First of all, 45 seconds is where it's at. It's like something Jeff Goldblum would like.

Oh, gosh. Smell that now, though. Hold on, I'm not taking it off. Well, I took it off before. Oh. Oh, oh. The bacon, ooh, that's, and you're left with nothing. but soggy lettuce. - [Stevie] You're eating the whole piece of lettuce. You got only lettuce. Listen. This has got to be a, lettuce gets strong. when you heat it up. ((Laughing)).

You know what I'm saying? It no longer breaks when your teeth hit it. A really interesting thing is happening. This is the best tasting patty. Patty got good, stayed good. What, this patty, is the best patty reheated that we've had. so far. Oh, that hot tomato is not bad. It's kind of like it turned Italian. It's got. You know what I'm saying? Grilled onions on it. You know what. I mean by that. It turned like marinara-ish.

All of the. cheese that was really, just there, is now completely melty. It became a patty melt. It did. When you factor in the, the cheese and the, oh my gosh, I think it got better. No. Three days later. No. And look, what? That hot lettuce, man. I can tell you right now. The tomato got better. The hot lettuce was hard to take, but I could take it off. Eat all the hot lettuce in one slurp, and.

then eat a really nice burger. I will say the patty held up so well and the. bun held up so well. In this, in the flavor profile of the sauce, whatever. it is. Mayonnaise. It's all intact. I'm gonna give it a solid eight. I'm gonna proudly give this a nine. Whoa, proudly? Yes. What does that total? Well, that would be six, uh, oh, is it eight and nine? It would be seventeen? Seventeen! ((Laughing)).

Yeah, I forgot what my score was for a moment. ((Upbeat Music)). Ooh, that looks nice, Rhett. Tell us about it. It's like you're wearing. - The sky. - A cloud. Yes. It's an illusion, because it's like a crystal. wash blue and white, Link. Nice! It looks like I took a photo of the sky and then printed. it on my body, but I didn't. Is it embroidered? It is embroidered with the Mythical logo. Is it one of three new items as part of that. embroidered collection? I believe it is. We have, we got a baseball hat. We have a tee, and we have a sweatshirt, which.

I am wearing right now. I love this. Check it out at mythical.com. Okay, my theory about the Quarter Pounder. with Cheese is because. - Everything in. - And bacon. What? - [Stevie] Quarter Pounder with Cheese and Bacon. And bacon. Yes, you're right. Is that everything in McDonald's is so. manufactured-ish. And ever since, oh yeah, yeah, get with it, Link. Get with the program. Ever since that Super Size movie, where they showed that. like, fries lasted forever, I think that this has the.

best chance at holding up. Cause it's so not fresh seeming. You know what I'm saying? I feel that. It's like one taste all together that might hold up. I mean, this is coming from a guy that would put. Big Macs in a fridge and eat them six days later. Not just refrigerated. Totally frozen. Big onions, big pickles, double the cheese.

No lettuce. I don't know, dude. I don't, this is. You have your doubts? This is decent, but I didn't, I didn't, I actually. didn't taste the bacon, even though it's on there. Like. Yeah, you don't taste any individual things. The pickles and the onions are so strong, it's as if it's not there. There we go. So that's my critique of that. This one looks, I mean, it went in looking burnt on the edge. Okay, good to know. Okay, he's smushing.

Oh. Man, maybe I should have gone 30 seconds. This one's, this one, like, conducts heat, like. The bun gets hot. Oh, you know what? I think we might need a clock wipe. Oh, yeah? ((Clock Ticking)). I mean, this thing conducts heat, man, or absorbs it. Huh. Bun gets a little rubbery. The bacon comes forward.

The beef stays virtually unchanged. This is consistent with my theory. Yeah. Yeah. That there's something manufactured-ish happening. Whereas the more real the beef, the more it suffers. Yeah. I'm not saying this isn't real beef. I'm just saying that there's something about the. processing of it. I don't hate it. It's really just the rubbery bun that gets me. Woo! It's pretty, it holds up pretty well, but that bun.

is taking a strong hit. I'm down to a seven. Yeah, I'm gonna give it a really strong hit. Because I gave the Baconator a five, right? I got to give it a four then. Oh! Ouch! Yep. For a total of 11. ((Upbeat Music)). - [Stevie] How about the Burger King Bacon King. How about it? I'm a fan. What's a Bacon King? Is that a Whopper? It's a Big Mac from Burger King, I believe.

Well, it looks like a Whopper. No, that's wrong. - [Stevie] It's two quarter pound flame grilled beef. patties with crispy bacon, melted American cheese, ketchup, and creamy mayonnaise on a toasted sesame seed bun. No lettuce. Yeah, that toasted bun is already a little bit hard. I'm not gonna do this cause I don't like. the sound of microwaving when I'm eating. Oh. So, we can just go back to the clock wipe, which we love anyway. You secretly want the clock wipe! I see right through your ruse! Yeah.

Burger King tastes like Burger King, doesn't it? It's got such a distinct taste. And it's got that flame-broil that Carl's Jr. stole from Burger King years ago. And I think is the reason why the Carl's Jr. held up so well. And it's probably going to hold up for the same. reasons that McDonald's holds up in their sort of like. processed thing element. We're going for 40 seconds. Yeah. Power level 7.

Clock wipe! ((Clock Ticking)). Yes! I'm glad you brought back the clock wipe. And it's so, so great. Welcome back, clock wipe. We missed you. Oh, yeah, 40 seconds. Oh, yeah! Nice! That cuts like a cake! Yeah. And it still looks good. Oh, okay. We got down the time here. That Burger King flame-broiled.

thing that I don't even necessarily like. Helps a lot. It helps a lot with holding it in the, like holding it steady. It is not as good as the Carl's Jr. heated up though. Even though that had lettuce, dude. I mean, this one's pretty good. I don't know, bro. There's a lot of meat that is taking a little bit of a hit.

I'm gonna give it an 8. To me, it holds up just as well as Carl's Jr., which is surprising considering Carl's Jr. had the lettuce. I'm gonna give it, I agree, I'm gonna give it an 8. Total of 16. Uh oh! ((Upbeat Music)). - [Stevie] And lastly, Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger. Oh, yeah. We know this is gonna be the best burger that we eat today. I mean, how can it not be, right? Coulda, coulda, cut it. It comes in aluminum. Oh, I like the cut on this one.

Of course these are fully customizable from Five Guys. That's some real meat, man. That's, that meat is falling apart. How's it gonna hold up? It's just a different thing. It doesn't taste like fast food. Yeah, I consider this like a bonus round. - Okay. - But I am really curious. Bonus round. Could you put that on the screen the whole time? I'm sorry, I don't want to keep getting you to do things. Just stick with the clock wipe.

((Clock Ticking)). You don't think we went? I don't know, feel it. Hard enough. How's it feel on the inside? Only one way to find out. That's what you do when you take things. out of the microwave. You got to touch it. Touch the middle. I'm good with it. Okay. Okay. Okay. The science minded people are saying that the control. in this whole thing is completely invalidated because.

we did different times for all of it, but, shut up! Oh. It took a lot of hit, man. It really did. That fresh beef. It's hurting. Needs to be eaten fresh, wow. It had such a high bar set for it. Yeah, what? I mean. You want to get the worst, most preserved beef for. this type of exercise.

This is not, it's not working. I don't care how many guys you throw at it. Two. Two. I'm gonna generously give it a three. Total of five. Guys! Yeah, so we did get to five, which is cool. It was just a bonus round, anyway. So, who cares? That means Carl's Jr.'s. Sourdough Star is the Un-fresh Prince of ooh, Signature Bacon Burgers. There you go. Take a seat on the throne. You see how it spins like a microwave? I did notice that.

I mean, the one that has lettuce and tomato on it. Take the lettuce off, and the tomato off. before you reheat it. No, the tomato turns Italian. Maybe before you refrigerate it, honestly.
