- How many time do you have this opportunity,
comparing burgers side by side?
- Well, I compare food side by side all the time.
- Ah, that's true.
- Rie and I both make videos about food,
all different kinds.
We've even traveled around the world
eating food together.
So, we're excited to compare these foods.
(laughs)
(opera music)
Do you have a favorite, In-N-Out or Shake Shack?
- I feel like I like Shake Shack better.
- I like them both a lot.
In-N-Out is so unique to southern California.
It's so inexpensive.
For the price, I think it's incredible.
(playful music)
- It looks very appetizing.
- Yeah.
- You know, when you go to some fast food restaurant,
when you open the burger,
it doesn't look like one in commercial.
You know, it's just like flat and like sad burger,
but this is very plump. (laughs)
- No, you're right, and it always looks like this.
- Yeah.
So, (bell chimes) great job.
Patty is very thin but it's very crispy,
and it's kinda nice.
- I feel like every part of the burger
doesn't stand in the way of any other part.
Everything is very well figured out
and it just makes sense together.
- It's not the best burger you had
but it's always there.
- Yeah.
- And it's assure you, you will be fine.
I got you.
(upbeat music)
- This is actually my first time seeing this packaging
'cause I usually eat Shake Shack at the Shake Shacks.
- Same.
- Okay, you ready?
- Yeah. I think patty is thicker.
- It does look a little bit bigger.
- Bigger. Yeah.
- It smells a little bit more like charred meat.
- It smell like beef.
(humming)
I think I like the beef better in the Shake Shack.
- Yeah, overall, the Shake Shack taste is a lot richer.
It has more of a mouth-coating, richer taste to it,
which I wouldn't necessarily qualify as better.
I do still think that the In-N-Out taste
is very distinct and has a different place for me.
- I have to be honest with you.
- Yeah.
- I liked Shake Shack burger better,
even though it's twice as expensive.
If somebody present me whole In-N-Out burger
and half Shake Shack burger,
I would probably choose half Shake Shack burger.
- I almost wonder what it would taste like
if you took a Shake Shack patty,
and just put it in an In-N-Out construction otherwise.
(laughs)
I don't know.
(playful music)
- So, for our fries comparison,
we're gonna be trying the two more premium options
from In-N-Out and Shake Shack.
For In-N-Out, that's the Animal Style fries.
- I like this style french fry.
Shake Shack one is like wavy potato.
I don't like it.
- Personally, not a big fan of the Animal Style.
I'm gonna say it.
I think it's overkill.
- Same.
- I think In-N-Out is about simplicity
and just eat the fries with ketchup (laughs).
- I agree 100%.
(upbeat music)
- And we're trying Shake Shack's cheese fries
which I think stack up nicely
against In-N-Out's Animal fries.
- The reason I don't like this,
it is a little too thick
and it reminds me of frozen french fries.
- Yeah. I remember based on the shape alone,
I didn't wanna like these fries,
but they are admittedly very good.
This single Shake Shack fry,
I think, tastes better on its own.
Even though the In-N-Out is qualitatively worse,
I somehow like it more.
I don't know why.
I think on the single-bite basis,
the Shake Shack is more impressive.
It's crispier, fluffier on the inside.
Something about the shape still upsets me though.
- For that reason,
I like In-N-Out (laughs) french fries better.
- Yeah.
- I feel like you kinda explained to me,
yeah, this look like worm,
and I didn't notice that until now and,
from now on, I feel like every time
I see that fry, look like worm.
I feel like I (laughs) don't want to eat it anymore.
- It's like a box of caterpillars.
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
Now we are trying milkshakes.
- Yeah.
- And it's vanilla.
It's very egg-y (laughs).
Do you think egg is in that?
It tastes like egg. - I don't know.
- When you make vanilla ice cream,
you make cream and eggs, I think.
- Really?
- I taste egg.
- It's a tasty milkshake.
You know, I'm not a big milkshake person in general.
To me, it's great.
It's all you ever want.
It's cold, vanilla-y, sweet.
It's thick.
(upbeat music)
Now for the Shake Shack shake.
- The color from In-N-Out was more yellow.
- Do you think that's...
- That's come from egg yolk, I think.
This is a little whiter.
- Oh, interesting.
Much more vanilla-y.
- Yeah.
I agree with you.
- This one tastes a lot more like vanilla ice cream.
The In-N-Out shake tastes more custard-y,
whereas this one tastes ice creamy.
- Yeah, I agree with you.
- Neither are bad though.
- I like this better.
(record scratches)
- Okay (laughs).
When I first had the In-N-Out shake,
I wasn't disappointed by any means
and I thought, this is a perfectly fine shake,
but then when I tasted the Shake Shack one,
it was clearly better.
- Yeah.
I wanted to like In-N-Out better
but Shake Shack is my favorite overall.
- I'd have to agree that,
I think Shake Shack does almost everything better,
but when I'm in the mood for In-N-Out,
I hold it in a higher regard
than I do Shake Shack.
So, audience members, which one do you prefer?
Shake Shack or In-N-Out?
- Comment below.
(beep)
- I love getting the raw onions at In-N-Out.
- I like it.
I like raw onion but I don't like
me after eating that (laughs).
