Okay, on the surface, Wienerschnitzel, “Vienerschnitzel”, I feel like I should say, or Sonic are pretty different. One’s got roller skates, the other’s got a pointy shape. But both have. Glizzies that make you double take? Yes, that’s right. But, beyond the glizzies, there’s a whole slew of other menu items that these two restaurants do have in common, so it’s a pretty fair matchup. As you’ll see, we’re gonna taste them head to head. It’s time for Food Feuds, Wienerschnitzel versus Sonic. ((Music)) – [Stevie] Alright, you hot diggity dogs. The winner of today’s feud will be named the Elite of the Meats With Ice Cream Treats and win the chance to sponsor a future GMM episode. And the crew tournament to predict your picks rages on with Silaine in first place with a one point lead. First up today are chili cheese dogs. On Rhett’s side we’ve got Wienerschnitzel’s Chili Cheese Dog for 6.79 And on Link’s side we have Sonic’s Chili Cheese Coney for 3.59 A Coney. It’s not a dog. Or is it? I don’t know. I haven’t tasted it because I don’t think I’ve tasted either one of these. A chili dog is a commitment, man. Good gracious, what happened? This one’s. – [Rhett] You will remember, you will remember that we ate chili dogs a number of times the rest of the day. Oh, really? The chili dog part, man, it’s just the worst. Oh, the burp. I didn’t know what you were talking about. Let’s dink it, and sink it. That’s a good tasting dog. Is there beans? – [Rhett] I don’t think so. No beans. They usually don’t do that in the chili on chili dogs. Now I will say, the official slogan for Wienerschnitzel is the World’s Most Wanted Wiener. Which was not my nickname in high school. No, it wasn’t. No, it wasn’t. Sorry to say. Now, Sonic, they are chili coneys in a bag, so it’s much steamier. What do we, what do we know about coneys versus dogs? Stevie, you know anything about that? – [Stevie] Well, I will say that Wienerschnitzel has American cheese on theirs and Sonic, not only is it an all beef hot dog, but there’s cheddar cheese on the Sonic dog. And what’s the price difference? – [Stevie] Pretty big, like Wienerschnitzel’s is, twice as much, roughly. That’s interesting. What? It’s, it’s definitely wider. Taste is similar. The chili on the Wienerschnitzel dog is better. It really is. That’s the first thing I noticed. And I think that the dog, it’s pretty similar I guess. The cheese is better at Sonic. But, not that much of a difference. Pretty solid. I never order a hot dog. As much as I like hot dogs, I don’t get hot dogs from places unless it’s the only thing they serve, typically. You know what I’m saying? It’s pretty good though. – [Rhett] I’m gonna give the Wienerschnitzel a 7 Wienerschnitzel gets a 7 Yeah, I am very surprised that it’s, it might bring you back into the dog ordering fold. I agree, I’m also giving it a 7 That’s a fold you don’t need to get back into. Over here. Really? Yeah. Nobody needs to get back into the hot dog ordering fold. It’s good though. You get out of it, stay out of it. I’m gonna give the Sonic, I’m gonna start at a 5, but because it’s so much more affordable, and yes, sometimes I do take that into account, the cheese is nice. I’m gonna give it a 6. I think it’s closer than I first let on. I’m also gonna give it a 6. Okay. So sevens and sixes. All around. ((Upbeat Music)) – [Stevie] Next up, we’ve got double cheeseburgers. On Rhett’s side is Wienerschnitzel’s double cheeseburger for 8.19 And on Link’s is Sonic’s SuperSonic Double Cheeseburger for 6.99 I’ve always thought about Sonic’s burger as being, like, really big around, like. It’s a big burger. Am I right in that it’s that much, I mean, it is, look. – [Rhett] These are both pretty big burgers, but the Sonic is bigger. Sonic is bigger! Does it mean something that when I unwrapped my Wienerschnitzel burger, the thing that I smelled was the burger that I would get at school lunch growing up? Yeah. That was the first thing that hit me. – [Link] That means something, dude. And it’s not a good thing. You know what I’m saying? Yes. It smells, well it smells like White Castle. Burgers. I went to high school in a White Castle. That makes a lot of sense. No you didn’t. I also went to high school with you. Oh, sorry. It was kind of like beige center block walls with some like burgundy. Harnett Central. Yeah, Harnett Central. Trojans, like the condom. Yep, yep, that was us. So, you ever had wiener schnitzel at Wienerschnitzel? No, cause they don’t serve it. You didn’t fall for it. That’s one of the only things they don’t serve. Is the thing that it’s called. Which, incidentally, It was founded in 1961 by a former Taco Bell employee. What? And it was Der Wienerschnitzel. Which I think means the Wienerschnitzel. Oh. And he wanted to call it John’s Hot Dogs because he was John and he wanted to serve hot dogs. Yeah. But the wife of the founder of Taco Bell was like, why don’t you call it Der Wienerschnitzel so, it won’t get popular. Or you know, I don’t know. I mean, it did not get as popular as Taco Bell That’s not. After today. It will be. That’s not a good burger. I wouldn’t call it horrible I wouldn’t call it bad, but I wouldn’t call it great. I wouldn’t write home about it. That tastes like a camp burger. Like, you literally get at a camp. Sonic was a place that my mom and I would go to whenever we would go to Sanford as kids. The longest town in America. According to us. I mean, they would skate right up to your door. Your window. It was very throwback. It was a lot of fun. The burgers were great. They throw so much stuff at their menu. They throw a lot of stuff at this burger too. Now, burgers have gotten so good, with so many people doing smash burgers, that, like, my burger scale has had to adjust, and these burgers have stayed the same. This burger would have been great as a kid, but now, as an adult who is enjoying great burgers on a regular basis. Yeah, but you can’t, you gotta compare it to fast food, and right now you gotta compare it to Wienerschnitzel, which is. I’m just saying I’m having to, like, readjust everything here. I think it’s, I think it’s really good, dude. It’s a lot better than this. I think it’s better than, Wendy’s burgers are better, but Wendy’s sandwich, like the whole burger together, is not as good as just the meat by itself. This is better than Wendy’s to me. This is better than Burger King to me. It’s kind of got a cookout thing going, doesn’t it? Sort of? I don’t think so. Sorry to keep disagreeing with you. Wienerschnitzel, they don’t want you to buy their burger anyway. I’m gonna give that. I’m giving it a 4. A 4. Any less than that, you start to think something’s wrong with it. Where you going with Sonic? 6. I thought you were gonna go lower than that. Did I bring you up? I didn’t say it was bad, but there’s seven, eight, nine, and ten all above that. That’s a lot of burgers I could enjoy, that I do enjoy. I’m gonna give it a six as well, on the fast food hamburger scale. ((Upbeat Music)) – [Stevie] Next up we have breakfast sandwiches. On Rhett’s side is Wienerschnitzel’s bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit for 2.79 and on Link’s side is Sonic’s bacon, egg, and cheese Toaster for 5.19 Everything that Sonic does, they try to like, make it something worth two dudes in a car to talk about in a commercial. Oh, those guys. Yeah, the Sonic guys. Took them away in 2010, brought them back in 2020. I thought they would have asked us. I think they brought them back again. I was kind of hoping in that fallow period, that decade, I was kind of hoping they would ask us. Yeah, couldn’t have done better than them. They’re just like the perfect Sonic guys. Here’s the one thing, and it’s not the Sonic guys, that we’re leaving out of the equation. Nobody is skating up to us to bring us this. I wonder what Dirk and Patty are doing right now. I mean, I do think. I wonder if they’re, they’re happily married, they’ve got, they’ve got a kid. Yeah. They moved on. Right. Yeah. But if they were skating this up, I bet you it would taste better. I mean, that’s the biggest part of the Sonic experience. What wouldn’t be better if it was brought to you on skates? Name something. Well, if they fall, then it’s a problem. What about an exterminator? The skating, the skating exterminator? I think that could set you apart. Ex-skater-nator. This is a very dry breakfast experience. Good God! ((Laughing)) This is like something that dentists give you to take all the saliva out of your mouth before they go to work. – [Link] They should have that. Here, eat the Sonic biscuit, or eat this Wienerschnitzel biscuit first. Before I go to work. So they don’t have to shove that sucky thing down your throat. It’s just. I just became dehydrated. I think they, they take like day old biscuits from KFC and they turn it into. – [Rhett] I doubt it. I doubt that’s what the process is. – [Stevie] Did you even know that Wienerschnitzel had breakfast? I’m learning this right now. No. – [Stevie] I think it’s like pretty bold to go with a biscuit. It’s, harder than going with a piece of white bread toasted. I didn’t know, and, I’m not so sure they are doing breakfast, Stevie. ((Laughing)) I don’t know what it is. ((Laughing)) It’s more like a breakfast sculpture. I’m gonna take some of this, you know, this is a demerit. I don’t want to have to remove the edge of. Okay, he’s issuing demerits now. It’s gotten very serious. I mean, it’s like, I gotta Uncrustable this thing. This feels like. No mayo, huh? It feels too much like something I could make at home. What? You think I’m, you think I’m being too hard on Sonic? – [Crew Member] Yes! I think it’s, I don’t know, I would, I would add mayo and take off the crust. Tastes totally homemade. Burnt toast. This is a little burnt. Is there supposed to be, there is some sauce on the bottom. I swear we’re not just in a critical mood today. I swear we’re just getting food that’s not that great. You know me, I like everything. I can’t stand burnt toast, especially when it’s burnt but still soft. How does that happen? Usually if it’s burnt, it gets hard. I gotta go back to the biscuit. What happened? – [Rhett] It’ll clean you right out. Alright, dude. Did that help? This is a huge disappointment. – [Stevie] You said your toast was burnt, but half of it didn’t make it in the toaster. – [Link] I know. – [Rhett] You should have eaten the other side. Eat that side. See if that’s burnt. Yeah, it is. On the inside, look. Oh, crap. Oh, they got it. They got it. They found a way. ((Laughing)) 3. I’m gonna give this, this brick and mortar biscuit, a score of a 2. A 2? – Over here in. – It’s not much better over there. Burnt-toast-ion. I’m gonna give this a 2 as well. I think it was a little bit better. And I don’t know if the dentist would use it in his procedure, so I’m giving it a 3. That’s, that’s, that’s generous. Did I give them both a 3? Yeah, I did, sorry. Three, three and three. ((Upbeat Music)) We are less than a month out from the release of the Mythical Cookbook. We’re so excited, but this is so much more than just a cookbook.

It’s perfect for any kitchen, coffee table, bookshelf, what have you. Even if you never intend to actually cook a single thing from it, like me. Preorder your copy at MythicalCookbook.com You’ll still love it. I bet this is. – [Rhett] Corn dogs. – [Link] Corn dogs. – [Stevie] Correct. On Rhett’s side is Wienerschnitzel’s corn dog for 3.59 and on Link’s is Sonic’s for 2.19 Oh, okay. So this is a more expensive one. Now, I’m a corn dog boy. I mean, this is darker. And this is the correct way to serve and eat a corn dog. They got a darker dog, man. With just mustard. Just the tip goes in. Oh! Hot! This is a little hot. Greasy. – [Rhett] That is so greasy. – [Link] The corn is sweet. The dog is presumably the same dog from round one. The same type of dog. That’s a good, it’s got a great taste. I’m, I was hoping for a little more crispiness. There’s almost too much, almost too much grease. You know what I’m saying? I’m gonna try to correct a little bit. I mean, we didn’t, we obviously didn’t get it right out of the window. So, I’m trying to do a little correction there. The darkness of, of the, of the batter. Scares you a little bit? Yeah. I mean, seriously, name anything that you, that you could skate up to and not be happier. Well, I don’t want to get, like, I don’t want an anesthesiologist to, like, skate up to my hospital bed. – [Link] That’s true. With a needle. Yeah. You’re talking about, like, a surgeon as well. I don’t want like a. Last thing I remember, they say count down from 10 and then the surgeon came in on skates too. I don’t want like. 10, 9, oh! The proctologist doing the colonoscopy to come in with roller skates. This is, this is precision stuff I’m talking about. Spongy. This tastes like something that could have been frozen and cooked at home in the microwave. Honestly, it’s really putting the Wienerschnitzel in perspective right now. – [Link] Yeah, let me go back. They’re really pulling away in the, in the, corn dog land. I mean, the dog is so much bigger. It just kind of, it kind of fills up the. Oh, man. This is so much better when you go back to it. And I agree with you that Christmas. It takes me to the fair. It’s, it has a very authentic taste to it. I do think that the, the fact that we didn’t just pull it right out of the drive-thru, the crispiness is probably due to that. I’m gonna confidently give It an 8. I’m gonna give it an 8 as well. Yep, yep, yep. We’re in a lot of agreement today and it’s not intentional because we’re gonna, this time we’re gonna say the numbers at exactly the same time. Yep. I’m ready. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. Four! See? We know what we’re doing. ((Upbeat Music)) – [Stevie] And finally it’s time for dessert. On Rhett’s side is Wienerschnitzel’s Reese’s Freezee for 6.19 and on Link’s is Sonic’s Reese’s Sonic Blast for 5.89 Did you know about this stuff that they do at Wienerschnitzel? No. Reese’s breezy? – [Stevie] Freezee. – [Link] Freezee. Freezee. It’s too thick to suck. I’ll tell you right now, Reese’s gets around. Everyone they can get in bed with, they are doing it. I mean, there’s no comparing them to themselves/ I’m bringing in a spoon. Is a Freezee made in a different, I’m using this as a spoon because it gives me like, it’s like I’m drilling like a core out of a glacier to analyze the, the life of the Freezee. Breezy? Queasy? – [Stevie] Freezee. How long ago was that one made, Link? Based on your core drilling. 16 hours ago. – No. – No it wasn’t. Okay. It tastes pretty dang dog fresh to me. – [Link] Nah, it’s good. The, ice cream is peanut butter. Am I crazy? Okay, well. – [Link] I think I am. Are these two separate issues? That is good. ((Laughing)) Alright, let’s go over to this one. Because. Yes, and yes. Come over to my side. Now Sonic is known for this kind of thing. Reese’s tastes the same. I’m gonna use a fork for this one because that’s what I got. They’re both so thick! I know, I love that. And they are not shy about getting a whole bunch of Reese’s in there. – But the ice cream. – The consistency of Sonic is better. But the ice cream is a lot better at the big dub. I’m liking this better, dude. They’re both good. Once you add Reese’s, it ain’t broke. – [Rhett] Yeah, neither one of these is lacking. I just like the consistency of the vanilla ice cream. Can I give a shout-out to Sonic’s ice? Whatever point I come up with, I’m gonna add a point just for their ice. Not for the roller skating. But for the ice. There it is. World’s Most Wanted Wiener. Right there on the, on the cup. I think I’m gonna give this Freezee a nice solid 7. Because that’s what I was gonna give it as well. Hey, we are completely on the same page. I mean, I feel like that the ice cream is a little bit different. I like the flavor of the ice cream a little bit better on this. I like the consistency of the ice cream a little bit better on that. So, I’m also giving that a 7. I think these tie. Crap. I’m tying it up too. The more I eat this ice cream, it is really good. I’m giving it a 7. Completely on the same page. Nope, I’m giving it a 6. I’m making it a 7. Because of the ice. Let’s tabulate the results overall. Sonic comes in with a score of 51, meaning Wienerschnitzel takes the win with a modest 57. Those corn dogs really came through. The corn dogs came through. Did a lot of heavy lifting, a lot of leverage you can get with a corn dog. The chili dog and the freaking, shoot man, all you need is roller skates and maybe some of that ice. Congratulations. And a sponsorship with us. Wienerschnitzel. Or “Viener”. “Vienerschnitzel”.
