Today I’m going to take you with me to go try fast food places I have never been to and you most likely haven’t either and before I reveal where we’re going first I need you to keep in mind I grew up in a smallish town in Idaho so
Please do not judge me when I tell you I have never been to Einstein Bros and obviously because I’ve never been here and I have no expectations I thought it would be fun to just let the employees pick for me I was was wondering if you
Pi for me so we’re going to try the drink first she told me that she got me a chai CH latte so cheers to our first time at Einstein Bros um it’s not the best chai tea latte I have ever had it’s honestly watery definitely wouldn’t come back for
This but that’s okay hopefully whatever is in the bag will make up for it and just by the way if you have been to an Einstein Bros let me know what you like to get she did tell me that she ordered some of the most popular things so this
First one I believe is their French toast bagel with a very generous amount of cream cheese let’s see if the bagels are as brilliant as the name claims they’re going to be oh wait this is not the French toast one those are actually apples which tells me that this is their apple
Cinnamon Gourmet bagel and the cream cheese is plain but this is actually really good um talk about being surprised that really surprised me I think what I love most about this is how sweet and good the topping is and with it paired with the plain cream cheese it
Balances really well I would 100% come back for this one all right so I am suspecting that this one is the French toast Bagel but unfortunately um it looks like it got a little bit burnt all right let’s try to find a place where it’s not burnt okay that one’s actually pretty
Good it didn’t wow me like I was hoping it was going to maybe it’d be better if it wasn’t so burnt but the cream cheese is very good I think I like the cream cheese better than this Bagel so before we try this next item I found online that Einstein Bros actually went
Bankrupt a few years ago and apparently they’re now a part of the era family and when I saw this item on the menu I had a sneaking suspicion that it could be the exact same thing that you could get at Panera so I picked this one out because
I need answers o so we have a cinnamon roll and by the looks of it I think they may have microwaved it a little bit too long yeah it definitely doesn’t look like it’s online pictures okay cinnamon rolls are not supposed to be crunchy so let’s try the center of the
Cinnamon roll and see if that did not get overcooked unless this is how the cinnamon rolls are supposed to be somebody please let me know let’s try the center well I think my question has been answered the cinnamon rolls are not like Paneras all I got to say is that
Einstein Bros definitely exceeded my expectations just not in ways I was expecting so this next place we are going to go if you have never been to Southern California I guarantee you have never heard of this place and in full disclosure I have been here before but
Since it is so good I had to include it in this video and show you what it’s all about I went to a place called sidecar Donuts once I show you what’s inside this box you’re going to be planning your next trip all right I’m going to
Have to go all the way back here but here we go um oh my gosh we have some really good Donuts to try some of these I’ve never had before cuz they are seasonal let’s start with one of my favorites which is their oldfashioned dut BR it is anything but dry in the
Center you can actually see the glaze dripping down oh my gosh what I love about this one is that the outside is just so CR crunchy and the inside is I hate the word moist but it is moist now before you plan your trip I’m going to
Warn you they’re a little bit on the expensive side but what isn’t expensive in California I’m telling you these Donuts are worth a trip so this one she said is their most popular one which is a huckleberry one oh oh my word this is what Huckleberry
Dreams are made of oh my gosh this one almost tastes like a muffin cuzz the outside is so crispy and the inside doesn’t really have a doughnut consistency it’s more like a bread so good I don’t think I’ve ever had that one if you ever come to side car
Definitely get that one this one I have never tried before but based on the little piece of fruit on there I got a feeling I am going to love this one cuz I love lemon how do they do what they do I need answers because this is heaven it tastes
Like they took a lemon bar and turned it into a doughnut this is the best thing we’ve had so far today now this one may look pretty basic but she said that this is also one of their most popular ones which is called a butter and salt okay this one’s really good too
This one is definitely one of the less sweet of the bunch but what it tastes like is that they did a slightly sweet salted butter glaze on it I just love how crunchy the outside is all right this next one looks insane this is the fattest doughnut I think I
Have ever seen let’s let’s try to break it open okay that was not what I was expecting so this is the first doughnut we’ve had out of the bunch that actually has a donut consistency it’s not a frosting it’s like a almost like a whipped cream completely different experience from the
Other ones honestly I don’t know if I would get it again but I’m really glad I tried it this is another seasonal one and it is their salted caramel oh my gosh they were not lying when they said salty so if you like to go hard with salted caramel you will absolutely love
This and speaking of salt when you hear the name salt in straw what’s the first thing that comes to mind because if you’re like me you definitely were not thinking ice cream so salt and straw is a West Coast thing but is known for they say standout I say strange flavors so
What we have here are two split Scoops so we have four different flavors we’re going to try all right so this one is called a honey lavender flavor I won’t lie I’m not a huge fan of flowers in my dessert interesting I see what they mean by
Stand out but I’m still sticking by the word strange I’m quite of weird this other flavor she put in here she said pairs really well with the um honey lavender thing and I can’t pronounce the name of it but it’s something with olive oil so I honestly don’t get much flavor with
That one hold on one more time it’s a little bit salty I don’t even know how to describe it cuz I have never had anything that tastes like that before but it’s actually really nice it’s much better than the honey lavender one M okay this this one’s pretty good
These next two possibly look very deceiving uh we’re going to find out but this Top flavor is a strawberry balsamic vinegar black pepper it sounds like they were inspired by a salad and decided to make it in ice cream well oh wait a minute there it is
I was going to say I don’t taste any bomic vinegar but no the aftertaste there is tiny bit of a vinegar taste oh that’s kind of weird but it’s also kind of good all right so the bottom one down here is probably the one I am most excited for I
Think okay okay I got to show you this bite so if you can see that little little blue dot that is blue cheese so this ice cream is a pear and blue cheese that’s the best ice cream I think I’ve ever had in my life the name was
Deceiving the flavor is amazing the only way I can describe it is if you think of like cheesecake with pears bro all right salt and straw not so salty it’s officially lunch time and I am over sugar at least for now so we at ELO Loco I have never been here I’ve
Always wanted to try it since moving to California so I’m excited to see if this place makes us more crazy for chicken and again if you have ever been here let me know what you like to get are you guys ready to see how big this piece of
Chicken is oh my gosh this chicken smells so good okay well that’s good so I’m I’m pretty sure you are maybe supposed to build your own taco somebody who’s been here before please let me know the tortillas look delicious let’s try the rice first this was a good face this was
Positive I was genuinely surprised all right I’m attempting to build my own little taco well even if you’re not supposed to do that it’s a really good combo the tortillas are very very soft the salsa is good all right let’s try the other side M they’re not overly
Salty if I was at home I would be mixing everything together all I can say is that it’s really nice to eat some real food but I have never seen a churro look quite like this before so you guys this is unfortunately a little bit undercooked but it is a
Literal grease bum this is um definitely not the best churros um I’ve ever had um and I probably wouldn’t get them again but per usual I’m glad to say I tried them but overall if you want to try elpo Loco and you happen to be in one of the
Seven states I say go for it we just got to the next spot and this is a place I have walked by so many times and funny enough there’s not just a few locations in the States but there’s actually locations in Japan and it is a place
Called lnl Hawaii I had her pick out what was most popular I’m probably going to butcher the pronunciation but this is called masubi and um that’s spam the last time I went to Hawaii I went to McDonald’s there and you could order spam and rice for breakfast and stuff I
Always thought that was really interesting cuz that is definitely not something that we eat in the states so M well there’s like some sort of sauce in it it might be a teriyaki sauce um that is actually really really good I am so glad I got the chance to try it I
Would definitely go back for one of these delicious that trip to Hawaii was very fun but let’s pivot from the islands to the mainland this place is called flipping Pizza I have never known about them apparently they’re in a few States if you guys have ever had them
Let me know what you like to get but before we try the pizza the guy helping me out said that these are one of the most popular things that people order and they are little pizza rollups is it just me or does it kind of look like a
Flower there is nothing like pepperoni after a day we’ve just had oh my gosh you see the drip the grease dripping oh my word these These are good they are definitely um kind of a flop instead of a flip but let’s see how the pizza is what I was really excited about about
This place is that one I absolutely love New York style pizza and two you can order it by the slice and three they claim to have like the best pizza dough we’re going to find out so this First Slice is called like a stone something I can’t remember the name but I love
Cheese okay honestly I was not expecting that to have such a like punch of flavor this whole thing is absolutely amazing this next slice can we just take a moment and appreciate the presentation I’ve never seen a barbecue chicken pizza look like this wow I can get behind this after those
Little pizza rollups I was expecting this pizza to be a full Lop but uh-uh this pizza is flipping good I just want to say thank you so much for coming along with me and letting me be a part of your day I love you guys very much
And I will see you in the next video cheers

Don't forget to let me know if you have heard of these places OR what you love to get! xx 😘
Your videos always make me hungry after watching them 😭 brb while I go devour some musubi
I cringe everytime I hear "chai tea" I know it's not Kristie's fault even the restaurant employees call it chai tea but still… Yikes 😬
I need to come to cali and get those doughnuts 😍😍😍 that huckleberry one 🤤
not sure if y'all have A&W but you should try their food, its 🔥
I love ur videos, all the food looks good 🫶🏻
I do like el pollo loca but I get the salad with chicken in the hard shell
Hi Kristie. Really cool video. I’m eating a food right now called a pork pie. Did you know that existed? Keep up the good work. BRW, please go to Britain 🇬🇧
I love the tattoo written in proper Greek.. Cause I've seen butchered Greek everywhere 😂😂
Thought you were going to say looks like a rose toy
If you ever go back to L&L, you NEED to try their chicken katsu and ESPECIALLY their Mac salad (it’s incredible)
Oh Kristie, I think your videos are new and educational…Thanks. I’m 436 pounds, and I like Rum Donuts, and Popcorn. 🎉🎉😂❤
Oh yes Einstein bagels are the best the French toast is the best but I mainly just get a bagel from there or breakfast sandwich
you definitely went to a bad Einstein bros, there chia is so good better than Starbucks the cinnamon bliss roll is soft and buttery and just amazing definitely recommend going to a different one.
You aren't alone, never been to Einstein Bros.
i love your videos Kristie
You gotta go back to salt and straw and get the brownie flavor and snickerdoodle. There’s a store in Disney springs in Florida so I’ve had it alot
Had to skip past all the sweets to get to the real food lol
Did Erick Quit his main channel? Or is he just taking a break from big food challenges
My college campus used to have einsteins bagels and I LOVEDD the breakfast sandwiches, I would get bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel. They closed it this semester unfortunately and I miss it 🙁
Cinnamon rolls are supposed to be gooey, if you take them to dark brown they will be crossont like. Bake everything at a amazing size.
Very good review I like it when a food reviewer just says weather it good or not. And they don’t go by crazy numbers. 😊
I only had einsteins like once and that was 20 or more yrs ago but those 2 bagels u got sound good
The double chicken tostada salad 🥗
those donuts are so pretty 🤍✨🍩🫐
Been going to Einsteins forever and have never seen anyone order those two bagels.. must be a Cali thing.. cause gross.. the schmear is what's important.. just get a dozen bagels random assortment and try all the schmears. You can't go wrong
the bakeries in america are so creative! like what? in every video a new place doing crazy mix and match and it would taste delicious if i could pick a flight rn i would definitely be going for the food nothing else😂😋
Great video 😊
Always good to see you, Kristie ❤
Hello there
l&l😍😍
Respect the smhear u herd
For Fuck's sake. Hawaii is a state in the U.S. So when you say Spam Musubi isn't available in the states you're really saying I am ignorant AF and there is no Hawaiian food on the mainland. You seriously should have deleted that part of the video out of embarrassment.
Einstein Bros did not want you to ever come back 😂
I 100% agree with Kristie about her opinions on cream cheese . I love Kristie vs Kitchen Been a subscriber on Kristie Ione main channel since day 1. Hey Kristie your husband Erik is a legend me and my buddies goof off that he is a actual goblin thats doing magic. Ya know when he says WOW or shoots fire out of his hand. We like to think this is real necromancy and hes is a goblin as old as Merlin. Our Research gave us conclusive evidence on his real identity. He can eat way more sweets than junk/ fast food cus its like actual proof that he is a goblin. Im hoping for a heart emoji on the effort of this comment.
Ma’am I love spam! That was my struggle meal growing up! Spam and mac and cheese, spam and rice, spam and eggs with cheese. ♥️😂 it’s definitely eaten on my end.
I like seeing the glaze coming out of your old fashion doughnut. I only bought the huckleberry doughnuts for my first wife but she passed away she was a amazing person we met working internationally on oil rigs and unfortunately there was terrible accident but now I only eat old fashions love that place.
I’ve never heard of single one of these
i worked at pollo loco for like 5 years you have to try the crunchy tacos 🙌🏼🤗
Love these videos Kristy , But haven't you been to el pollo loco on your other channel the electrics
You always make my day! Your videos are the BEST 🩷🤗
The double tostada salad from el polo loco can do no wrong.
They moved my Einstein. Used to get the lox ans bagel.
a friend of mine got Salmonella from El Pollo Loco; she got so sick the health department was informed.
