hello everyone this is running on empty food review well hello ladies gentlemen
and everyone watching welcome one and all i'm your host the report of
the week and uh here we are for a new a new installment an overview hope
you're having a nice tuesday so far and uh i'll tell you i'll tell
you the truth this item i am excited about it
i'm excited about it i know that sometimes i will you know i'll joke
around and i'll say dude this is the biggest release of 2020
by far and all of that this is legitimately a
review that i'm excited to do a lot of people are excited about it a
lot of people are hyped up about it and again i say with no exaggeration uh
there are people out there right now in droves
in literal droves that are out there when i went and got this item there's
actually one guy that had been camped out at the local mcdonald's
for 16 whole days he actually had a tent out there and
he said i go into the bathroom there to shave and you know clean up every now
and then you know stay sanitary but otherwise i'm just out there waiting
for this item to be released and uh yeah there's a lot of enthusiasm
for this mcdonald's in their vernacular has said
this item has now dropped and i did say that word for word what
item are we talking about what deal are we talking about
today we're going to be trying out the travis scott meal
from mcdonald's uh this is a special three-part
a little bit meal little item i think it's going to be interesting i think
it's going to be fun to try out and again lots of people are excited
about this travis scott he's got a huge amount of fans who are
hyped up about this lots of other people are interested too so we're just going
to try it out we're going to see how it is
and go from there all right now first and foremost who is travis scott exactly
because i think a lot of people know who he is
some people don't travis scott uh to give a little bit of an introduction
if you remember he was a famous post grunge musician
a very popular in the late 90s he had a lot of hits
you know what i'm not even to go any further with that joke a lot of people
would probably get get mad at me so to avoid an angry mob
no travis scott was not a uh not a rock star or anything
he is a famous musician though he's actually a famous rapper
very very popular right now in 2020 he has a huge number of hits
some of his most well-known songs include highest in the room
sicko mode and goosebumps but there's plenty more
i've actually heard some of his music before because even though like in terms
of my musical taste i listen to a lot of rock a lot of
alternative indie even classic rock uh you know i i'm open
to everything i really try out songs from
any genre any era on my radio show i'll play some music requests from listeners
from time to time so i've heard you know some of his music
and i'll listen in and i'll say yeah this is this is pretty good
i can see why so many people like it though he's really a big name
um but he teamed up with mcdonald's and he was
you know i guess he has his favorite items and mcdonald's you know kind of
saw what his favorites were and they made that into a meal all right
so here's what it is uh three mcdonald's favorites for six
dollars so this is a six dollar meal you get the main course you know the
sandwich you get your fries and a drink for six bucks which is a pretty pretty
uh good deal you can tell by repeating that
word twice that that really confirms that it is
indeed a good deal and that it didn't just stutter and now i'm
trying to make up for it mcdonald's also says you can download
the app against the mcdonald's app for all things cactus jack which is
again once related to travis scott all right here's
what we have mcdonald's they kind of tried to make
this more musical related so they said track one you get a quarter
pounder with cheese travis style and what that
is is you get cheese three half strips of bacon shredded
lettuce pickles ketchup and mustard on this
quarter pounder track two is a medium fries with tangy
barbecue sauce and track three you get a sprite with
ice they even say ask for extra ice right
because that's how travis scott likes it so that's what it is again this meal six
dollars and um i went out i got it uh it is
again six bucks now the price might just vary by state depending on the sales tax
etc but they really do sell to you for six
bucks the one thing is that there has been some confusion with some of the
employees i originally ordered this again as the meal
but they only gave me the sandwich and said all right now have a nice day
and i just had to speak up and say you know i'm also looking for the drink and
the fries so if you do go because i think they do
just sell the burger by itself so if you do want to get the travis
scott meal just make sure you get it and make sure you ask for the drink and the
fries as well all right so here we are
here we are with it you can see i was clearing my throat in
anxious anticipation but there we are with it we got
we got the um sprite right here we got the goods
right in here and there i am with the two
so uh yeah i'm showing it showing it off of course getting that
thumbnail you can see we got our napkins got the sandwich and we've got
let's verify this we've got some fries right here
how shall we position this i guess we'll do that um we got
the tangy barbecue sauce all right that kind of goes with oh i know we're just
getting we're getting that instagram perfect
picture right there and then we got our our drink so there you can see though
the full the full meal a little bouquet of food
um we'll just try it out all right we're just gonna try out the sandwich then
we're just gonna try out the fries and then we'll try out the drink and we
have ourselves a straw for the drink too so let's open
this up and without further ado we'll just go right
into it all right here's that quarter pounder
again with the lettuce and the bacon um but again it has everything else that's
supposed to have so a little bit more of like a deluxe
you know bacon quarter pounder um but with that lettuce
too and that's actually you know i don't get the quarter
pounders with the lettuce but i always like getting them with bacon too
so we'll see how this uh turns out i i have i have high expectations but
fingers crossed we're just gonna dig into this meal so
it's a travis scott meal from mcdonald's going in
we'll take two more bites of the burger
got ourselves some barbecue sauce we'll dip some
fries in it because he always says you got to dip it in the sauce
going with my lucky brown suit today in a jerry garcia tie
i know we're going with a little bit of an extended consumption sequence but
again the whole thing is a meal so you're supposed to just
you know eat it as a meal try the whole thing out
well having tried it um i like it i do i am a fan of it i think it's a
good meal and you know here's here's the things that i
like about it because i don't want to drone on and on and on you don't want to
talk too much about it but number one the burger i like the
addition of the bacon on it and the lettuce actually does work uh
sometimes i do wonder to myself actually why mcdonald's burgers they don't have
more burgers with lettuce on it and this is this is a good one right the
quarter pounder it's like the perfect mcdonald's burger i'm really a fan of it
to begin with i just like the juiciness of the meat
that seasoning with the salt and pepper it just tastes really good to begin with
i like the ketchup and the mustard on it the cheese
the bacon especially though you get that extra that extra little boost with the
bacon it's very flavorful you get that little bit of crunch from
it and the lettuce you know i just like that little
you know it's the it's the sliced lettuce there or what do they call it
the um or just lettuce yeah that's what they call it
the shredded lettuce but it just works it's just like a nice deluxe
quarter pound burger but it's good it's quality tastes good
very flavorful and um certainly i like it
if you like the quarter pounder burgers i think you'll like this because again
it's a basic sandwich just a few little upgrades but it's good
the fries of course are their basic fries you know they're crunchy
but they're salty but the tangy barbecue sauce again does work
i just like that tang that it adds one really prevalent characteristic that i
notice in this meal is a little bit of a tanginess to
everything you've got those pickles that are in the burger there
uh that have that characteristic you have the mustard there
you know that kind of that really you can taste it
you've got the tangy barbecue sauce and then what do you wash everything down
with wash it down with the sprite and the
sprite has that you know it's like lemon and
lime but it's very refreshing i got it with the extra ice so it's nice
and cool but it works i'm not a sprite drinker i think the
last time i drank sprite was like over 10 years ago probably it's been a
very long time uh but i want you know it works in this
case it really does it's just got like this cool refreshing
flavor that i know just works very nicely to just chase everything down
with so i gotta say uh it's a good meal i
like it very flavorful it's a good price too
just six bucks for the whole thing so out of ten uh definitely going to
give it an 8.6 out of 10. go out and get it try it out and uh yeah
give the travis scott meal a try from mcdonald's a good meal good value
lots of good items and give it a shot that's all that i got
