Hello everyone, this is running on empty
food review well
Happy birthday, everyone. This is running on empty food review and
Well, we're in the month of April officially. I mean, maybe not maybe you're watching this in the year 2050
But as far as I'm concerned, we are in the month of April and you know what they say, right?
April is a great month for birthdays and it is indeed always a good month. Always enjoy that month and with that
We have a huge release out from Sonic
America's drive-in, I'm pretty sure that's what they call it. Maybe they don't and I don't know
I'm just making like I'm pretty sure that's what they call it
But I'm pretty sure that Sonic not Denny's I think that's Sonic and they have something called the
BBLT
Doesn't that name just kind of send shivers down your spine I
Know it did for me when I when I first heard that
Because years ago when I was just a little youngin
Guess that's the word of the day since I said that in the last video
Anyway, I would go to Subway. I never get the BLT sandwich
And you know what those three letters stand for right? I mean
You know
Bacon
Lettuce and tomato
So when I saw earlier today that Sonic was releasing something called the
BBLT I
Didn't know how to process it I
Didn't know what to do. I mean when you know
that this is this one thing and
that's that and
Then they come in and they change the game
They change the name they changed the game
What do you even do?
And I didn't know
So I went over to Sonic I picked it up. I got some cherry limeade for moral support
Then you know what I'm just gonna face my fears and we're just gonna dive headfirst into the unknown and
Figure this out, hopefully for the betterment of humanity
From my understanding the BBLT
Stands for bacon bacon lettuce and tomato and what is it exactly?
This shocking shocking item. It's a BLT sandwich
With extra bacon lettuce tomato
Mayonnaise
On a bun I guess theoretically they can call it
Maybe, you know be BLT
good stand for
bacon
bacon lettuce tomato
They could have just named it like, you know in parentheses that could have said 2 X
B then closed parenthesis LT I could have done that that might have been a little easier could also stand for uh,
Since it's on a bun could stand for bun
Bacon lettuce and tomato. So there's a lot of options out there this this item
I think the biggest selling point is just the mystique the mystery surrounding it because I know if
Anything it has me utterly intrigued. I mean just that sense of intrigue
It's almost indescribable - we need to be quite honest. There's very few
Fast food items out there. They're kind of honed into that natural instinct
You know that puzzle those puzzle problem-solving skills, but sonic they found a way to tap into this
Okay
before we
Delve into this and we did a big reveal, you know the way it goes
First things first. I just want to promote it, you know get it out there. Well, we still can
If you are interested, make sure you check out my new podcast. It's available on YouTube. You could find it
youtube.com/vorwpodcast
could also find it on iTunes Spotify just by searching VORW
You could find it on soundcloud
soundcloud.com/vorw
and you know, it's a lot different than these these food reviews. I think that's a good thing
It gives you a whole different side of this channel to see I think lots of good perspective to listen in on
So here it is
B BLT, let's turn the autofocus off so we can get those books
Maybe it does stand for bun bacon lettuce and tomato because that is a
gigantic bun in comparison to the rest of the sandwich
There we go, here's the top looks like there
those are actually there you can see it's two tomato slices and there's the Mayo you can see the Mayo right there and
Let us know kind of combined and then on the bottom
there is an additional Mayo I
believe you're underneath the the
bacon
lattice
And there it is. There's the bacon it has a little bit of a char to it, but doesn't look too bad overall
It's glistening, you know fresh
greasy bacon
Right just the way
Everyone likes it
there is
There I am. There's my head between the two metaphorically anyway, and
There we go
Picture-perfect
Yeah, all right, you know it needed to be done all right, that's what it looks like right there
Ticket, you know, I don't I don't mean to be too too much of a you know
criticize er of this
the only thing I can just say is it's a good example of those times when it kind of doesn't it doesn't look like the
Advertisement you look this thing up and you'll see it is like a mountain of bacon
they make it look like it's got I would say 15 to 20 strips of bacon on it and
You know like days like this is watching bacon and it's huge when in reality
It's you know, the bun is probably the biggest thing on the sandwich, but I don't know what it tastes
Like I haven't tried it yet. So who knows might not you know, you can't judge a book by it's cover
It might not necessarily look totally like the advertisement. But what does it taste like it might be delicious?
That's what I'm about to find out the 2(B)LT from Sonic it's going in
That meant one more bite
You've seen that you see seeing
Man that's incredible. I
don't know that's
The bacon grease I think what what that is is that's the bacon grease kind of mixing with the Mayo and dripping down
What is this I put the snack and underneath it, right
And this was what huh tripped tripped off of the other sandwich
They're a very greasy very greasy sandwich. Nonetheless. I have a feeling
kind of the grease from the fake and
mixed with the the Mayo they're
Just trying to seep down, you know
All right
In all honesty
The B BLT sandwich is relatively simplistic
You know just a few ingredients bacon lettuce tomato mayo and the bun and with that being said, I have one criticism
one criticism only
You know first and foremost, let's get to all the good stuff. Okay the amount of bacon
There is more than you would expect, you know, didn't look like the ad I get that what really does you know?
you know that you know the way that it goes but
What I do have to tell you is that there is more bacon than it initially expects
Bacon is is fresh and has a little bit of crispy a tea greasy but cooked
Well, I can't complain flavorful, you know, there's those two slices of tomatoes
Those are rich fresh, you know, no problem there the Mayo wasn't a problem
It seemed like there was a lot but it blends together fine. No issue
Lettuce is there it's okay. Here's my issue the bun. I just think that the bun is too chewy for what it is
I think that if the bun was on the fluffier side, maybe if it was more of just like a I
Don't know you'd all depends on the composition of it. But if it was more of like a fluffy
Roll, I know that sometimes difficult to do in the world of fast food and ingredients and all that
I think this would be better because the bun is just so chewy compared to everything else on this sandwich
So I find myself alright chomping and chomping and chewing the way it does
and it seems like it kind of soaks up more flavor than it really should and
You're spending more time chomping away at the bun. Then you are enjoying the actual sandwich. It's tough. So that's an issue
I think the bun is just a little bit too thick and a little too on the the chewy side and that is an issue
so
I think if there's one thing that you need to keep in mind and one thing perhaps they should improve upon it is the bun
and I think that it should just be
You know, it's just it's too chewy that's all it detracts from the eating experience overall
Otherwise
Like I said just very very greasy and you might have those grease and drippings like I showed you so if you're gonna eat it
I'd recommend laying out the you know, the little I don't know...
The BBLT trampoline-esque thing that's not really a trampoline that
collects the grease drippings and
That'll just work best so you can have a clean eating experience
So with that out of ten
I'm going to be raiding the B BLT sandwich a seven point one out of ten a
Little on the lower side and just because of that bun
Everything else is good on the Messier side
But you expect that but the bun just attracts from it and that's why it has the rating that it has so with that
Thank you for watching. I'm your host the report of the week and today's review is for the B BLT sandwich
from
Sonic and that's all that I have for you
Like I said earlier be sure to check out the podcast some really good listening headed your way and have a wonderful weekend
Thank you and do take care
