Hi, I'm Josh.
I'm Ollie.
And today we are going to be trying the JOLLY French-est burgers in existence.
There's one burger on the menu here that's been going viral.
For being the Frenchest burger?
It's all over TikTok for being maybe the cheesiest burger you can possibly imagine.
Because I was cycling through, like, what would identify it as being French?
You know, snails...
- There's no snails in it. - Frog's legs...
A highly unionised society.
That is resistant to increases in the retirement age.
But how do you put that in a burger?
You might call this a revolutionary burger.
Ooooh!
You might. One might.
Oh, wow.
Wow, the Carnivore.
Okay.
Secret sauce, okay.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Oh my gosh, look at that.
Wow. It looks like an emoji of a burger.
Look at that, it's got an imprint, a brand on the top.
You have the Royal Double Smash.
You have bacon, you have American cheddar.
Perfect.
Merci beaucoup!
Merci.
These look incredible.
However, neither of these are the viral burger, Ollie.
Oh, these are just the starters?
These are just the starters.
Okay.
Amazing.
Thank you so much.
This is the burger we came for.
This is the sexy cheesy burger.
Okay.
You may notice there is literally a pool of melted cheese on top.
They said we just need to lift this off.
You ready?
I don't know whether I am.
It’s just going to pour all over it.
I have no idea.
Okay, I'm lifting.
Oh my gosh. Whaaat?
Oh yeah, we have fries as well because of course.
Oh, thank you so much.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Wow. Okay.
How do we eat that again?
Oh, it smells incredible.
It looks kind of like a dessert.
Yeah, it looks like custard.
It does.
It looks like you've poured custard over a cake or something.
It does.
So with our...
But somehow something that is way less healthy than custard.
There's something quite artistic about that.
The way it glistens like a bald head.
Okay.
Oh my gosh, I really want to eat this now.
The cheese has been dripping off.
I'm going to get stuck in and I'm going to have a fry.
Look at that.
Perfect chip covered with melted cheese and bits of bacon.
Yeah.
I mean if the French know anything, they know how to make a fry, right?
And cheese.
Yeah.
Truffle fry.
Truffle and Parmesan.
Is that where the smell of truffle is coming from?
Oh my gosh.
Both of these are like better than fries we have in any UK burger place.
I’m gonna be ill.
Look at this.
These guys are prepared.
These guys are ready.
Flipping surgical gloves.
Yeah, this is bringing back bad memories from the airport.
Okay...
Let's do this. You want to go first?
Yeah.
Go for it.
Wow.
Okay.
Oh my gosh. Look at that cheese.
It's going to go everywhere.
Do you want another bite?
Did you get any of the burger?
You just got all cheese in your first mouthful.
Wow. Oh my gosh.
I'm dipping in, I'm dipping into more cheese.
Wow.
You see that?
This is decadent. This is absolutely decadent.
It's definitely the world's most inconvenient burger.
I'm not sure how you could make it more inconvenient.
Maybe you can put honey all over it after the cheese.
Oh my gosh.
Want more?
Yeah.
Wow. That is easily the cheesiest burger I've ever had in my entire life.
The meat though is cooked to perfection.
It looked like a work of art and it looks like we've just taken a giant crap on the work of art.
The thing about sexiness, right?
Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Where are we going with this?
Some people are just effortlessly sexy and then other people,
And I count myself in the latter category,
It doesn't matter how hard you try, it's impossible to be sexy.
Take dancing for example.
Okay. Yeah.
For some people dancing, they're effortlessly sexy.
When I dance, what is the opposite of an aphrodisiac?
That burger, when it was just sat on the plate untouched, just sitting there, chill.
Oh yeah.
Sexiest thing alive.
It was like paint me like one of your French women.
I mean, it is, you know, literally like a French model lounging on the table.
Incredible.
That's really weird. Immediately sounded weird.
I was thinking Titanic.
But as soon as you eat it, honestly, maybe one of the least sexy things I've ever seen in my life.
Yeah. It looks like, I don't even know what it looks like.
It looks like Titanic after it hit the iceberg.
Wow.
Yeah.
It started sinking.
Wow.
People were dying.
That was a horrific disaster.
Titanic was a good analogy. Because it was the most beautiful, impressive ship ever built.
And that's what that burger looked like covered in cheese.
Okay. Let's move on.
This one should be very similar to the sexy cheesy one that we just had,
Except not got cheese covering it entirely and making it really difficult to eat.
Secondly, I asked for this one to be cooked rare in the traditional French style.
That's an oxymoron, right?
Yeah, it's not really doing much cooking.
Yeah. It is rare.
Look at that.
Wow. That's an amazing cross section.
Extremely pink burger.
I'm interested to try this because obviously this is less flashy.
It's less Instagrammable.
This burger is probably not going to go big on TikTok.
Not in the same way.
Definitely not.
We don't have to wear gloves.
Let's go.
There's so much to process.
It took me a while to react to that.
The baked cheese in here is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
But look at this, it's crispy. The outside of the cheese is crispy.
When you think about it, this makes sense.
The French, they love their beef, they love their cheese, they love their bread.
Of course they're going to do a burger well.
It's cheese, beef and bread.
I don't want to blow any secrets out of the water,
But I'm pretty sure the secret sauce is just garlic butter.
And I'm okay with it.
It's quite reminiscent of what we had...
It's like, guys, we're in France, we know what the secret sauce is.
It's garlic and butter.
You put it in everything and I love it.
You know what I don't want to do to that?
Pour molten cheese all over it.
Yeah, you want to taste it.
I would dip it.
Do you want me to ask for an extra bowl of cheese?
Shall we?
Yeah alright i'll ask.
Can we actually add one bowl of the cheese as well?
Is it too late? That’s ok?
Oh my gosh, I love that you're suggesting ordering more.
This never happens.
Okay, well while we wait for that, should we try this guy?
Well, before we do that, I need to talk about today's sponsor.
Rosetta Stone, the language app.
They have this innovative dynamic immersion.
Basically, you pair up the images with what you're hearing,
And it means you can be confidently conversation ready from your first lesson.
Because you're listening to audio from actual native speakers, you learn the accent,
So you don't sound like "un petit con".
Oh, what's that?
A moron.
It's designed to be 100% on the go.
Lessons can be as short as 10 minutes.
Really?
You can be learning on the bus.
You can be learning in "un restaurant de burgers"
It's not just French.
They do German, Spanish, Korean.
So you just sign up, there's no subscription fees.
You can come back whenever you want.
I mean, lifetime access.
Yeah!
Not bad.
Right, I'm going to do the final line of the advert in French.
Wow, that sounded pretty good.
Shout out to Rosetta Stone for sponsoring this video.
And enabling us to travel places like this and eat amazing food like this bowl of cheese,
Which you need to try.
Back to the video. Dip in there, please.
That, if you're going to come here, the sexy cheeseburger looks nice for an Instagram story.
But that is so much more practical.
Cheesy hands aren't sexy.
Jazz hands. They're sexy.
Yeah, I mean, I would just say cheesy body parts in general. Not sexy.
My mind is going to some weird places.
Ohhh, stop!
This is the smash burger, which I absolutely love a smash burger.
This looks more like things that I eat reasonably regularly.
And I'm excited about that.
You know me, I'm a creature of comfort. I like familiar things.
Rich Tea biscuits.
Yes. Yep.
I like plain croissants.
Look at that.
Oh, wow.
Smash burger.
Oh my gosh.
The sauce in that.
Holy moly.
The bacon is so crispy.
You know what, though?
I'm missing the rare.
Yeah, the texture of that was unbelievable.
I think it's because the beef being used in this burger is like, I mean...
It's high quality, whatever it is.
It basically steak tartar level, right?
Yeah, it's amazing.
So having had that and then having something like...
You don't need to do it this much.
Pretty cooked.
You're just like, ohhh.
We've had three burgers, and I want to keep going.
This is a date location, man.
A sexy burger.
It's very messy.
Not a first date.
You wouldn't take Gabie here?
Yeah, but I mean, we've been married for like seven years.
Yeah, but she's still special.
Wow, deep. I just said not a first date.
Not a first date.
Let's be honest. The sexy cheeseburger, it's all about the show.
And at the end of the day, people can be flashy and sexy and go viral on TikTok.
But what's really sexy is what's inside.
- What's inside that counts. - It's your heart.
That's true.
And in this case, it's something that will probably destroy your heart,
But it tastes really good.
A perfectly cooked rare burger.
All right, well, guys, on that note, I would 100% recommend coming here.
Don't order the sexy cheeseburger. It's too hard to eat.
Get cheese on the side.
Come here and get everything else.
Get any of the fries. They're incredible.
All amazing.
Not to be recommended if you're allergic to potatoes,
But if you are, still worth it. Still worth it.
Still worth the incoming IBS pain.
I don't take responsibility if you die or anything.
Just saying, for me, for me personally, worth it.
Like the diarrhoea later, totally worth it.
Okay, now of course we're going to end on that note.
See you, JOLLY soon.
See you later!
We have a Michelin starred chef,
About to prepare us,
Some specially French items.
Wow!
It’s good right?
Are you ready for snails?
Whatever that sauce is,
That sauce is amazing!
Santé!
Alright
Vive La France!
Vive La France,
Vive La France!
I’ll cheers to that!
