- We got it's here.
It's here.
- Chicken, chicken,
chicken, chicken, chicken.
(gasps)
- Good, good, good.
Of course.
(laughing)
Hey, what's going on?
I hope you're doing magnificently today.
You probably know of Beyond Meat,
they were founded in 2009 and
they started becoming more
widely released in 2012.
KFC has dropped Beyond chicken
in some parts of Southern California.
It was originally launched
in Smyrna, Georgia
in August of 2019.
And it actually was a big hit.
Since it was such a
big success in Georgia,
they've released it in 50
locations in Southern California.
Los Angeles County, San Diego
County, and Orange County.
Needless to say,
you can probably tell I'm
very excited about this today.
So let's go get it. Let's go try it.
And yeah, I'm hungry.
Okay, so before I run out the door,
I was just having a thought,
going to KFC is kind of something
I've written off for a really long time,
just due to the way
they treat their animals
and their employees and factory farming.
I have seen studies that say that.
just because the impossible burger
was introduced to Burger King,
didn't actually make sales
of beef burgers go down.
It just attracted new customers.
So there is a part of me that wants
to be really conscious of the fact.
And while it is exciting,
that there's more demand
for plant-based options.
I would like to say that normally
I will probably support
an all vegan restaurant
for a vegan fried chicken rather than
a chain that utilize a
lot of factory farming.
No shade, if you decide to eat at KFC,
I think it's great in the sense
that it makes plant-based
options more accessible,
but if you can afford to,
it's great to support local small mom
and pop businesses when possible.
Obviously it's not possible for everyone,
but I just thought I'd put that out there.
Alright, we're here.
I hope they have it.
Okay, So I tried out that KFC.
They did not have it.
And then I called a few more.
They did not have it,
but I found this awesome
article by VegNews
that lists all of the locations right now
in Southern California.
I will put the link to that
in the description below.
So I'm driving seven miles
to a KFC to try this chicken,
which is not very sustainable with me,
but, desperate times, man.
Desperate times.
You should know,
Beyond Chicken is cooked
in the same frying oil
as all other chicken,
but the actual Beyond
Chicken itself is 100% vegan,
it's made of soy and wheat primarily.
we all live in our own spectrum
of eating plant-based and veganism.
There's so much minutiae there
to navigate between what you're cool with
and what you're not cool with.
It's just the way I choose to be,
and what actually bothers me is not that.
But do you, do what
you're comfortable with
and let me do me, okay?
(kiss sound).
Imagine that was just
the end of the video.
♪ We're here and I think ♪
♪ There's a drive through even better ♪
♪ Yeah ♪
All I have to say is if they have
run out of their own chicken,
I am going to jump out
of the roof of my car
and scream at the top of my lungs.
Okay, I see the Beyond Fried Chicken
on the sign, on the door.
Hi, could I get two orders
of the Beyond Fried Chicken?
The kind gentlemen
(paper rattling)
brought out my order.
Let's just get excited
about this, we got it here.
It's here.
Oh, my God the grease stains.
That's how you know it's good.
Here they are in there.
Check it out.
(slow music)
(chewing)
Oh my God.
(laughs) It's so good.
Look at that, that looks like
a nug, if I I've ever seen.
It's got all the same spices and the fry,
the crunch on point,
the actual chicken itself is very moist.
The seasoning is delicious.
Mmm, it was definitely worth the drive.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
I'm gonna bring them home
and let Aria try them
and see if a mediator thinks
they pass the test too.
- Interesting, okay, they are nuggets.
Do you ever see that
clip of Jimmie Oliver,
making kids watch?
- Yeah.
- Jimmy Oliver makes cute.
These kids see how nuggets are made,
and then they kill.
He tells them, "All you guys like, what'd
you just do like some more"
- [Jimmy] Now who would still eat this?
- And then they say, yeah.
And he gets really sad
- No.
because it was experiment fail.
(chewing)
(soft music)
- Hey, you look like that.
(Chewing)
- Just the same, it's tasty chicken.
Oh, my God.
That's a ridiculous texture, taste,
- This burger.
that's ridiculous.
That was a healthy for you?
Probably not, they are KFC
a good company but why not?
But does this has a chicken?
Yes.
I feel good.(laughs)
- I know.
- Mm, I'm gonna eat the rest.
These are all mine now.
- No I'm gonna have a couple of--
- No you had yours in the car?
- Maybe I have one more,
because I had to travel all that way.
- Chicken chicken, chicken, chicken.
- Good, good, good.
Good of course.
(laughing)
Nice job Beyond.
- I'm the the Colonel.
(laughing)
(slow music)
You can only have the taste.
- Please like it, subscribe
and hit the notification bell.
And any time there's another
meat alternative coming out to the masses,
I will certainly test it out for you
and let you know if it's worth it.
In this case?
- Worth it.
- Stop watching this and go find them.
- Is a Worth It winner, is that how.
This is what I have and--
- No, what does that mean
and who is that impression of?
- The three of them combined.
(laughing)
Take boxes to the bedroom?
- [Marle] No, you're not.
(mumbles)
No, he's not getting no crummies.
Okay, great.
(upbeat music)
