hello everyone this is running on empty food review well hello ladies gentlemen and
everyone watching welcome one and all to this newest edition of the running on empty
food review series i'm your host the report of the week all right you might be seeing the title
of this video and you might already be thinking to yourself if you've been a regular viewer
doesn't this seem familiar well i'll be honest with you yes it does this is the jack harlow meal
from kfc and first things first obviously we have to address all right jack harlow
i think we all know who he is he's that guy that does those songs a famous a famous musician though
very popular these days and uh one thing that you have to know first and foremost is even if you're
not certain as to who exactly jack harlow is the meal specifically includes branded packaging that
actually includes a picture of his face so obviously then you could make the connection
and you could look on the box for instance like this and you could say that that's jack harlow
i couldn't keep it together for that i saw that it looked so silly i had i had to break
that out no that's jack harlow right there and um there it is that's so that now you know who he is
and this is his meal the jack harlow meal and like i was saying though
it might sound familiar to you and indeed several it was like a month or so ago i did a review
of kfc's jack harlow menu now here's one thing that you have to know about jack harlow he loves
his kfc apparently that's all that he ever eats breakfast lunch and dinner he is a kfc fanatic
so much so that he had his own special menu on kfc full of all of their exciting delicacies
that he likes to feast upon whenever he gets hungry but of course he got to narrow things
down you know we were reviewing the menu about a month or so ago but now it's been narrowed down
so when he's feeling really ravenous you want to go with the jack harlow menu but if you're
feeling more particular this is when we get into the real good stuff the jack harlow meal now it
is a meal deal so you get several components and the only good thing about this at least is that
it comes in a set price for the price of 10.79 you get the following a spicy chicken sandwich
mac and cheese he likes that mac and cheese fries ranch lemonade so that's what it is
so you could see we've got the chicken sandwich in here which that's the the kernel right there
we've got the fries or is kfc vernacular describes them secret recipe fries
this is the lemonade which has his um i don't know we do call this an
effigy or his likeness either way he's looking at you right there
i can't do the face because he's got the sunglasses on um the mac and cheese right there
and classic ranch i would assume the ranch would be for the fries
so what i'm really going to do is we're just going to sample a little bit of everything
because many of these things i've already reviewed so really you know we're just going to try out
the meal see how it tastes make sure it uh you know it's up to par and everything tastes good
and then that'll be that before we get into the review real quick i thought why not every now and
then you just got to let people know it exists um if you'd ever like to uh get any merchandise for
this channel uh probably been a year since i even promoted this i actually have a uh a store where i
sell t-shirts and stickers and coffee mugs and all that good stuff you could find some information
about it in the pinned comment in the description um i know the old link for it was teespring.com
stores slash the report of the week the url changed but even if you type that in it'll
take it to the same place but you'll get the brand new link and everything in the pinned
comment in the description check it out if you want it's there for you that's all so anyway
now you know about that and in a minute you'll know about the jack harlow
meal there's the chicken sandwich right there a big chicken sandwich
i know i got the spicy one i know that for a fact because the receipt is right in front of me but
okay no now here it is i was looking and i was thinking at first where's the spicy sauce
there's a little bit of it
and there's a little bit more it could be a little heavier on the sauce but what does
it matter if it tastes good it's good so first let's try the sandwich real quick
and then we'll just power through the vest jack harlow mule from kfc going in
i'm going to reposition a pickle so we can get some of that flavor into
we'll quickly assess each thing sandwich is totally fine um has a lot of substance to
it you could definitely see the size of the uh chicken fillet thereon quite big
and that's what we want to see it's not just loaded with tons of you know filler and useless
breading there's a good amount of meat on it it's juicy it's tender it's flavorful
uh tastes pretty good has a nice crisp on the outside but again it's nice and juicy on the
inside and that spicy sauce creamy little bit of tang also complemented quite nicely by the pickles
lasting spice um that spice definitely lingers on and uh very spicy chicken sandwich pretty good
with that spicy aftertaste i figure now's the time to try out the lemonade
he said he likes it cold i believe so it is cold you could hear
well i tried i just can't get over that i don't know why oh that's all right let's try it out
quite nice the um nice coolness of the the lemonade um really compliments the uh
right thing got me distracted it um it offsets the spiciness of the sandwich quite nicely uh i don't
usually get lemonade from kfc but it's actually pretty good refreshing tastes good why not
all right we've tried out the lemonade that's fine too it actually again it works nicely with the um
the spicy sandwich let's try out these fries they're the secret recipe
fries not to be confused with the non-secret recipe fries
lightly seasoned with salt nice uh crisp to them as well i don't know what you i guess you use the
ranch for the fries it doesn't really tell you what to do with this i mean i guess i could just
you know like sip from this or pour it into a shot glass and just down at all but
i'll assume we use it for the fries i guess because the sandwich already has sauce on it and
i don't think ranch and mac and cheese really work and i never heard of ranch and and lemonade
but i don't know you could do whatever you want with it but we'll try it with the fries
a suitable pairing normally i wouldn't pair the ranch with the fries but that's
just me you know this is this is jack harlow's meal this is what he likes to do
and then we have the mac and cheese
which we will now sample it's like it's in a petri dish
right there
again we'll just take a tiny taste because again we're just sampling each thing
the mac and cheese is i mean for what it is it's all right um only thing i noticed you know
texturally speaking yeah it's creamy it's cheesy you know nice and soft but it has a little bit
of a watery um consistency to it obviously when you're looking at it it looks a little thicker um
but it is a bit runny and watery and i just have to be aware of that but all in all it's kfc um mac
and cheese i'd say probably my least favorite of the components of this meal in the end though is
it anything to um throw a fit over no not at all it's a pretty standard meal i would say you've got
the chicken sandwich the spicy chicken sandwich it's good the fries those are good too
got the drink fine as well the ranch is uh all right and the mac and cheese uh it's you know
it is what it is but i think some people will like it more than others
and um if that's the way you like the mac and cheese then it's no big deal it's all
it's all good there um but all in all all of the components for the most part
are quite nice and again i think the main thing you're going to be focused on
is the uh the chicken sandwich and of course the cup with the uh the face right there and uh
for 10.79 that's the jack harlow meal so what are we looking for today we're trying to figure out
okay we know that everything tastes alright everything is for the most part again up to
the kfc standards is it a good deal um i'd say so you're getting a good amount of food
these days with the inflation and all of that heck there's some places you'd probably be
paying 10 bucks for just a chicken sandwich so the fact that you're getting the sandwich the drink
the sides and um the drink especially with the special jack harlow branding yeah i'd say it's all
right for what it is so if you like kfc and you like jack harlow whether you're there to just get
the food or you just want to support a an artist that you like a lot i'm gonna go out and get it
again 10.79 a pretty complete meal all in all tastes pretty good so therefore out of 10 what
am i going to be rating the jack harlow meal from kfc yeah everything tastes pretty good
got the branding it's a package deal better than some of these meals that i've seen
so well all things considered eight out of ten that's all that i have for you i'm
your host the report of the week thanks for checking out today's review until next time
