American's scathing review of popular Aussie fast food joint
An American woman has shared her thoughts on some popular food chains in Australia as she sets out on a mission to try as many eateries as she can during her time Down Under.
Food and travel vlogger Elise tucked into dishes from a selection of eateries in part one of her 'rating fast food chains in Australia as an American' series.
'Been trying all the Aussie chains and here's my ratings on some of them. Let me know your ratings and where I should try next,' the video caption read.
The Californian had good things to say about most of the country's takeaway spots she has tried, but not all of them received a rave review — including a venue many Aussies hold with high regard. Here's what Elise had to say about these restaurants:
The young American kicked off the series with a review of one of the most quintessential fast food establishments — McDonalds.
Elise said the golden arches Down Under reign supreme compared to its American counterpart.
She was particularly impressed by the breakfast menu and has even started referring to the fast food giant as 'maccas' in true Aussie style.
'I think it's way better here than in the US, I love the breakfast and the coffee's are so good.'
Verdict: 7/10
Adored frozen dessert bar Yochi came out on top for the American, but Elise did admit there was some room for improvement when it comes to the range of flavours on offer.
'Love the butterscotch and the cookie dough but we have a tonne of these in the US,' she said.
'I wish they had more seasonal flavours.'

'Small portions? You mean normal size 😅,' wrote another.
Verdict: 7.5/10
'As a southern Californian girl this was absolutely so disappointing,' she declared.
'The chicken was burnt and it (was) mostly all rice, super boring, wouldn't go back two out of ten.
'I got a free burrito from the app and that's the only reason I didn't complain.'
Guzman and Gomez stans took to the comments to defend their adored eatery.
'How did you give GYG a 2 bruh,' one offended commentor wrote.
'Giving GYG a 2 is criminal,' a second person added.
Verdict: 2/10
Trailing not too far behind with a below average rating was pizza giant Dominos.
Elise once again pointed out her disappointment with the small size of the meals.
'Next is Dominos which I have gotten a few times here and the portions are way smaller than the US,' she said,
'They also don't have the same garlic butter crust.'
Verdict: 4/10
