1
Nick: Food critics come in many shapes and sizes.
2
Some, like Anton Ego from the movie Ratatouille, are harsh and intimidating, while others, such as Anthony Bourdain, are kind and thoughtful.
3
But then there are yelpers the most ruthless critics of them all.
4
Check out this review from Caleb.
5
They was closed.
6
One star you didn't even eat at the restaurant.
7
Caleb. In this video, I've collected the craziest one star Yelp reviews I can find, and brought along a few friends to help me put them to the test.
8
Dennis is a health inspector who's going undercover today, and Pete is my brother, who loves food just as much as I do.
9
We're starting here at a Chinese restaurant called Pan Asia, where Xander said, I do love Chinese food as long as it's made by humans.
10
But I must say, the pu-pu platter looked more like a poo poo platter.
11
Like my dog made it, if you know what I mean.
12
He also attached this photo.
13
Who attaches a photo like this to a Yelp review?
14
Dennis: Yeah, it's not good.
15
Nick: While these guys taste the poo poo platter to see if Xander means business, I've had Ryan Trahan, the King of One star reviews, help me come up with a few simple rules for this video.
16
Ryan: First, you must leave an honest five star Yelp review at every restaurant you visit.
17
And second, the restaurant that wows you the most must receive a trophy at the end of the video because everybody loves trophies.
18
Good luck Nick. Nick: What do we.
19
Think, guys? Dennis: It's not so bad visually.
20
Nick: Honestly, the chicken is actually charred to perfection and seasoned pretty well.
21
Dennis: It's quite tender too. I like the egg roll.
22
Nick: Is it crunchy? Dennis: Mhm.
23
Nick: From a health inspector standpoint, the food's all nice and hot.
24
Dennis: Everything is overcooked.
25
So I would assume it's cooked through.
26
Nick: But I really like the chicken.
27
And the fried food is extremely crunchy.
28
The seasoning is good. The crisp is there.
29
I think we have enough to write a review.
30
Dennis: Yeah. Let's see what my fortune is.
31
A lifetime of culinary adventures is coming.
32
Nick: We've made it to Natalie's.
33
Pizza. Allie says there are only two things that happen when you enter.
34
Natalie's one, you get into a fight.
35
Two, you get food poisoning.
36
That's all. You better have your dukes up when we walk in there.
37
Dennis: I'm ready. Nick: Andrew said there should be rules concerning how one can make a pizza.
38
This place used canned mushrooms like they just learned how to cook.
39
What an insult to my taste buds.
40
Dennis: Apparently Andrew likes fresh mushrooms.
41
Nick: As you can see, they don't just serve pizza, they also have hot wieners.
42
And Theo said, I ordered a hot wiener and it was a Walmart wiener.
43
Dennis: What's a Walmart wiener?
44
Nick: I'm assuming he means they just bought it at Walmart.
45
Dennis: Yeah, I don't know.
46
Nick: This is cool. Hello?
47
Are we just picking up?
48
Thank you. Dennis: How about here?
49
Nick: Let's eat some pizza. Wow.
50
Pete: It's like picture.
51
perfect. Nick: It looks really good.
52
It gives me almost, like, throwback vibes from, like, the school cafeteria to.
53
Pete: Let's see. Nick: Same thing.
54
Dennis: It's like, perfectly round.
55
Nick: You're gonna get in a fight with Dennis.
56
Hitting him with a box like that.
57
Dennis: Is the fight we're talking about right there.
58
Pete: It's a great slice. It's hot, it's.
59
Nick: Greasy, but not too greasy.
60
There's nothing dripping off my pizza.
61
Dennis: I would have liked this cooked a little bit more, but I like the crust.
62
There's plenty of cheese.
63
Nick: It doesn't look like any sort of canned sausage.
64
Canned pepperoni. This looks like a legit piece of pepperoni right here.
65
It's a damn good pizza. I'm actually gonna dive into the wieners.
66
We need to see whether or not they're Walmart wieners.
67
You know, a hot dog is not supposed to be aesthetically pleasing also, right?
68
I mean, you're not going to open a hot dog and think, wow, that's the most beautiful looking hot dog I've ever seen in my life.
69
It's all about the taste for me.
70
Dennis: It's the snap. I like the snap, the snap.
71
Nick: I'm actually going to pull out the dog to see if I think it's a Walmart wiener.
72
Dennis: How would you know?
73
Nick: I looked at a photo of the wieners they serve at Walmart.
74
This doesn't look as dark in color as those ones.
75
It is almost a neon orange, so I'm actually going to go ahead and say, I don't think it's a Walmart wiener. We're pretty hot on the pizza.
76
The wieners. Pete: It's not great.
77
It's not bad. Wouldn't start a fight over it.
78
Nick: I think we have enough to leave a review.
79
We are now pulling up to Long John Silver's, a one star fast food restaurant.
80
Dennis: Long John Silver.
81
Nick: This restaurant is a two for one.
82
I call it a twofer. You got Long John Silver's and you got Taco Bell.
83
One of the biggest news sources in the world literally called it the worst meal in America.
84
Dennis: I didn't even know they were still open, bill.
85
Nick: From Texas said. I stopped going to the store for a year because asking for extra tartar sauce was like pulling teeth.
86
Today I stopped by again and told them I needed 12 tartar sauces.
87
When I got home, only half the sauces I asked for were in the bag.
88
Who needs 12 tartar sauces?
89
Dennis: No kidding.
90
Nick: Another review came from Phil, who looks a lot like a fisherman himself.
91
Pete: Yeah, he could be on Wicked Tuna.
92
Dennis: I would buy fish from him.
93
Nick: He said. The fries were so overcooked and tough that not even his tears could soften them. The best part about the meal was literally the green beans.
94
Dennis: What fast food place has green beans?
95
Nick: We're ordering some.
96
Dennis: Oh are we?
97
Nick: Lauren said I have been sitting in the drive thru behind two cars for nearly 30 minutes.
98
Dennis: 30 minutes? Who's got that kind of time?
99
Nick: We gotta see if the fast food line takes 30 minutes.
100
Let's do. Man1: Thank you for comint to Taco Bell, how can I help you?
101
Nick: Yes. Hi. Um, is Long John Silver's open?
102
Man1: Yes, but I need five minutes.
103
Five minutes? What are they?
104
Dennis: Catching the fish. What is.
105
What's up with this?
106
Nick: Uh, okay. How will we know when it's open?
107
Man1: No, it's open right now.
108
It's open 10:00.
109
Nick: Oh, we can order.
110
You're just gonna make it?
111
Man1: I can order, but you need a way in the parking lot for the 5 to 10 minutes.
112
Nick: Can I please do just one regular plate of of fried fish?
113
Yes, please. Just water, please.
114
Water. Man1: I don't have a bottle of water.
115
Nick: I'll try Baja blast.
116
Okay. Man1: Anything else?
117
Dennis: Do you have green beans?
118
No. Nick: How are you? Thank you.
119
Oh, can we have 12 tartar sauce, please?
120
Sure. Yeah, we'll park right there.
121
Thank you so much.
122
Man1: Thank you. Right back.
123
Nick: He was so nice. You never like to be in a fast food drive thru and you're waiting.
124
But if they really are making it fresh, I'll be happy.
125
Dennis: In my experience as a health inspector chain, restaurants are usually the cleanest because they have levels of management that oversee that.
126
Nick: It's been almost 4.5 minutes.
127
Still no sign of our food.
128
Dennis: It's not really fast food, if you think about it.
129
Pete: Well.
130
Nick: Dennis, you want to grab it?
131
Dennis: Is this. Is this ours?
132
It says Taco Bell, though.
133
Nick: Elephant in the room here.
134
It came in a Taco Bell bag.
135
Luckily, inside the bag, it is Long John Silver's.
136
Dennis: Open up and say.
137
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
138
Pete: First, let's count the tartar sauces we got.
139
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
140
12. Nick: Looks like.
141
We got some.
142
Shrimp. That is you, Pete.
143
Then we got this giant box of stuff, which is mine.
144
Dennis, you did not get anything.
145
They did not put Dennis's food.
146
Dennis: Might be a blessing, but.
147
Nick: I must say, this actually looks really good.
148
In fact, this piece of crispy golden fish right here is kind of remarkable.
149
Dennis, we can share the tartar sauce does look like mayonnaise.
150
Dennis: Mm. Actually, it's pretty good.
151
Nick: Wow. I think that might have been one of the best bites of fish and chips I've ever had.
152
I think he was being honest about cooking it fresh.
153
The fish on the inside, it's buttery.
154
Flaky. Pete: Yeah. Is that one also ours?
155
Dennis: Thank you. Check out what's in that.
156
Nick: What is going on?
157
Dennis: I have no idea.
158
Nick: You can't make this up.
159
Dennis: That's not our food.
160
Oh, no. Nick: We've made it to a buffet restaurant.
161
Fire and Ice. Janazia said.
162
We were paying our bill and we saw a mouse run under one of the black cabinets.
163
One of the waiters joked around saying, Ratatouille.
164
The manager offered us a voucher.
165
We do not want to come back.
166
I would be mad about a mouse if they hadn't said Ratatouille.
167
Pete: You remember what happened to the health inspector in Ratatouille?
168
Dennis: I don't. Pete: It didn't end well.
169
Nick: Another review came from Miss Review.
170
She wrote a very long, free verse poem that I'm going to let you read on your own time.
171
Dennis: It's well written.
172
Nick: And the last review comes from John, who is an elite yelper.
173
Dennis: John has way too much time just saying no.
174
Nick: No no no no no no no no exclamation point.
175
Pete: I feel like we shouldn't be going here.
176
Dennis: I like it here. Nick: You go here? Dennisi: I do.
177
My wife and I come here every year on my birthday.
178
He really doesn't like it, but I do.
179
Pete: Have you ever read the reviews?
180
Dennis: I don't really care.
181
Nick: Let's go inside. So here's how this restaurant works.
182
All the food is raw in a buffet.
183
So we grab the food.
184
Then we bring it to this big giant ring of fire in the middle, where they cook it right in front of you, and then you get this nice, hot, fresh food.
185
So it starts on ice and it ends with fire, hence the name fire and ice.
186
All right, one bowl per trick.
187
I'm gonna go a little fried rice, baby corn, a few pieces of zucchini, a little bit of marinated chicken.
188
And I gotta top it off with a full glizzy.
189
And we'll have to see what they do with this.
190
Oh, there you go.
191
Wow. I love this place.
192
Dennis: They may get the trophy.
193
Thank you. Man2: You want a bun or you wanna chop it up?
194
Nick: You can do whatever you want.
195
While he's cooking, I've been.
196
Looking around on the floor, and I have not seen any Ratatouille yet. Dennis: Nor have I.
197
Nick: Which is a good sign, and I.
198
Dennis: Haven't seen any evidence of that.
199
Oh. Your food. Thank you.
200
I'll see you guys at the table.
201
Thank you so.
202
Nick: Much. Ooh, that looks great.
203
They chopped up my glizzy.
204
Did he just start eating without us?
205
Honestly, this stuff all looks pretty amazing.
206
It's very good. I keep having flashbacks about the guy saying, no, no no no no no no no no.
207
Dennis: What's not to like? I don't get it.
208
Nick: I got everything I could want here.
209
I got a hot dog. I got mini corn.
210
This is trophy contender, I agree.
211
You love this place.
212
Dennis: I can't stop eating.
213
Pete: So will you be back next birthday?
214
Dennis: My wife hates it. My birthday though.
215
Nick: I'm back to my childhood days at Dave and Buster's.
216
What's G says?
217
Crap food. Gordon Ramsay couldn't save this kitchen.
218
So go have some drinks and laughs with your crew.
219
Dot dot dot dot dot.
220
Then go eat someplace else.
221
Pete: I feel like this is gonna ruin all of.
222
Our childhood memories.
223
Nick: Well, then Gary said food absolutely hated it.
224
I ordered a burger.
225
It was so salty.
226
It cut my tongue and I had blood on my bun.
227
End of story.
228
So, obviously we need to order a burger.
229
And this last review said I had to wash my hands multiple times because I was sticking to everything. Think I'm joking?
230
My kids thought it was a game and would count to see how many things they could stick together. Table, menu.
231
Silverware and plates.
232
I hate a sticky restaurant table.
233
Yeah. Before we go in, one of the funniest things I saw on all of Yelp didn't come from the reviewers. It actually came from the restaurant.
234
Dave and Buster's replied to a bunch of things saying, we're sorry your food was anything other than fire.
235
Pete: Love that energy.
236
Nick: Dennis, do you know what fire is?
237
I do, what is it?
238
Dennis: It's. It's the best ribs.
239
No, I don't know ribs.
240
Pete: You do have the ribs, though.
241
Okay. Dennis: Hope it's good.
242
Nick: Dennis, you've never been here either.
243
No. Oh. Did you guys hear the stickiness just now?
244
That review might carry some weight.
245
Look at the photos on the menu, though.
246
They look really, really good.
247
Dennis: What is that about?
248
Man3: That s'mores cheesecake.
249
It's good. Should we get.
250
Dennis: It for cheesecake?
251
Nick: We'll do one mozzarella sticks because you can't.
252
Not at Dave and Buster's. I feel like one burger just to share.
253
Pete: What is the grape chill?
254
Man3: It's kind of like a slushie.
255
Dennis: What are you, 12?
256
Pete: I'd like a grape chill, please.
257
Nick: Let's do the pretzel sticks and we'll call it a day there.
258
Before we sat down to eat, we obviously had to play a few arcade games and try to win some prizes.
259
Pete: The lowest rank.
260
Nick: I'm sorry to do this, guys.
261
I have to do it right away.
262
Mozzarella stick for it.
263
Oh, yeah. Baby. Dennis is choking.
264
Pete's drink came with a temperature color changing straw.
265
Pete: When you touch it, it changes colors.
266
Dennis: Of course it does.
267
Nick: I kind of want to try one of these breadsticks.
268
One thing I'm immediately noticing is there's a bit of a film over the cheese.
269
It means it's been sitting there for a tiny bit.
270
But let's not judge a book by its cover here.
271
The cheese sauce is more complex than a normal cheese sauce.
272
It's actually really good.
273
That is a mean looking burger.
274
Huge bite. Pete: It's really good.
275
Nick: The seasoning on these fries reminds me of the seasoning on Cool Ranch Doritos.
276
It's very well done. It's evenly dispersed.
277
You can see it. You can taste it, I like it.
278
Looks like a perfectly golden brown melted marshmallow.
279
Dennis: Oh yes.
280
Nick: Yeah. Mhm.
281
Coming into this place with the reviews, I legitimately thought it was going to be one of the worst places we ate at this video, but I think this is in contention for the trophy.
282
Pete: Let's leave the review.
283
Let's. Nick: We are now at Viva Mexico Cantina and Grill.
284
But first, a review from Kaylee.
285
She said food was amazing.
286
Will absolutely return.
287
Just kidding. They stole money from me.
288
Literally never going back.
289
Dennis: What? Pete: That took a twist.
290
Nick: Destany said in all caps.
291
Saw a dog that was very evidently not a service animal.
292
Walk in and out of the kitchen, clearly in kitchen, for extended periods of time.
293
Dennis, what do you think about that from a health inspector standpoint?
294
Dennis: No no no no, you can't have animals where food is being prepped.
295
Nick: Would that be a failure?
296
Dennis: Violation of the health code?
297
Nick: What would the punishment for that be?
298
Dennis: Obviously you have to eliminate the dog.
299
Nick: Kill the dog?
300
Dennis: No, not kill the dog.
301
Remove the dog.
302
Nick: Well, unfortunately, another review came from Crystal who said chips undercooked and no one seemed to care.
303
Dennis: While waiting for the food, we're going to look for the dog.
304
Hello? Hola.
305
What's that? I thought it said, men's room.
306
This way. Clear.
307
Nick: No dogs? Dennis: No dogs.
308
Nick: That's good news. Right away. Someone said something about the chips.
309
Pete: Oh, that's a crunch.
310
Nick: It's a perfectly good, Chip.
311
Dennis: I think it's a great chip. Salty.
312
Nick: Well seasoned. They got some salsa.
313
It's a great chips.
314
Pete: So far, so good.
315
Nick: Okay, let's dive in. Jinx.
316
Dennis, have you had street corn before?
317
Dennis: I don't know what that is.
318
Nick: One of my favorite Mexican foods ever.
319
Dennis: Oh, that is good.
320
Nick: I love the look of it. The color is really nice.
321
The corn is cooked really, really well.
322
Pete: For me. There's just too much sauce on top and nothing on the bottom.
323
Nick: Dennis, do you like tacos?
324
Dennis: I don't. Nick: Do you like quesadillas? Dennis: I don't know.
325
Nick: You've never had a quesadilla?
326
Dennis: Is that odd?
327
Nick: That is odd talk in the comments.
328
Is that weird that he hasn't had a quesadilla?
329
Dennis: It's not bad. Nick: Pete, you.
330
Try the burritos. I will try the tacos.
331
Pete: It looks pretty well rounded.
332
You got meat, you got guac, I think rice, a bunch of different spices.
333
I'd say pretty solid burrito.
334
Nick: So for the tacos, what I like is I immediately I see on the meat there's that nice golden crust. They've gotten a perfect char on this beef, so I know the flavor is going to be there. These are corn tortillas, which is classic.
335
I like that they double wrap it.
336
Probably my favorite thing here.
337
Actually, it's a.
338
Little bit spicy, but it's well rounded.
339
It's a very good taco.
340
I think the only complaints I really have about this place are that it's a little pricey.
341
Pete: Maybe you pay for the experience, come in and pet the dog, have some good food.
342
Dennis: There's no dog.
343
Pete: Then what are we paying for?
344
Nick: We traveled a long way for this place.
345
It's called the melting Pot.
346
It's a fondue restaurant.
347
And Gini's review says fondue.
348
More like fonDon't!
349
This place smells like a porta potty.
350
Prices are highway robbery.
351
Poundcake felt like a Tempur-Pedic mattress.
352
Extreme sus vibes.
353
If you go there, take lots of complimentary mints.
354
Pete: Don't know what to make of that.
355
Nick: KC also said, I regret to inform you that our experience at Melting Pot was nothing short of a disaster.
356
Our wait stretched to an excruciating four hours, during which our server proved to be inexperienced and inattentive.
357
We'll see about that, KC.
358
We were seated immediately.
359
Not a four hour wait.
360
A four minute wait.
361
So, KC, you were wrong.
362
Dennis: Sorry.
363
Nick: The questions that remain are whether the pound cake feels like a Tempur-Pedic mattress.
364
Dennis: I have a Tempur-Pedic mattress.
365
Nick: Is it a nice mattress? Very nice.
366
We still need to figure out if there are extreme sus vibes.
367
Personally, I'm not feeling that yet.
368
And when we leave, we need to try to find the complimentary mints.
369
We're gonna do one. Cheese fondue.
370
It comes with tons and tons of different sides.
371
And then we're gonna do a chocolate fondue.
372
Hopefully it actually comes out with the yin and yang looking like this, because that's really cool.
373
Dennis: Who doesn't like chocolate and cheese?
374
Nick: Our waitress made our cheese fondue from scratch using real Gruyere, raclette, and fontina. And the chocolate fondue looked exactly as advertised.
375
Wow, this is sweet.
376
We got the spread. Fondue.
377
Chocolate. Dennis: How great is this?
378
Nick: There's all sorts of amazing looking sides.
379
There's no limit to what you can do.
380
I'm starting on the cheese. Here we go.
381
Look at the cheese bowl.
382
It's delicious.
383
I feel like I'm in Switzerland.
384
Pete: I lived in Switzerland, and that's a good fondue.
385
Nick: I feel like we're on top of a mountain.
386
We're all wearing parkas.
387
And we're eating fondue together.
388
So far, one of my only real complaints about this place is that it could get really messy.
389
Like, look at that. Definitely.
390
So, Dennis, before you dive into the desert, does this seem like Tempur-Pedic?
391
Dennis: The beauty is that it's soft.
392
Yes, but it's firm so it doesn't fall apart.
393
I don't get a mattress vibe out of it.
394
First dip into the chocolate.
395
Pete: Oh, you messed.
396
Nick: Up the pattern, but it looks so good.
397
The cheese fondue was amazing.
398
What about the chocolate?
399
Dennis: I confirmed it's one of the best pieces of pound cake that I've ever had.
400
Not a Tempur-Pedic mattress.
401
Nick: This is what I think of the melting pot.
402
Dennis: Very nice. Do you guys have, like, complimentary mints?
403

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型動画での表現
現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係しているI've collected · We've made · I've ever seen
受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てるwas closed · is actually charred · is overcooked
関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加えるstuff, which is · tortillas, which is

注意したい発音

話し手はdon't, I'm, we'reなど、短縮形や弱形を98回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。

  • 「th」の音: ruthless /ˈɹuːθləs/, thoughtful /ˈθɔːtfəl/
  • 「sh」と「zh」の音: mushroom /ˈmʌʃˌɹuːm/, exclamation /ˌɛkskləˈmeɪʃn̩/, excruciating /ɪkˈskɹuʃi.eɪtɪŋ/, fisherman /ˈfɪʃ.ɚ.mən/, flashback /ˈflæʃ.bæk/

日本語話者が苦手な音：

  • /r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: complimentary /ˌkɑmplɪˈmɛnt(ə)ɹi/, mozzarella /mɑt.səˈɹɛl.ə/, marshmallow /ˈmɑɹʃˌmɛl.oʊ/, culinary /ˈkʌlɪˌnɛɹi/, ruthless /ˈɹuːθləs/
  • /v/ — /b/ にならないように、上の歯を下唇に当てる: vibe /vaɪb/, dive /daɪv/, overcook /oʊ.vɚ.kʊk/, inattentive /ˌɪn.əˈtɛn.tɪv/, oversee /ˌəʊ.vəˈsiː/
  • /f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: fondue /fɑnˈdu/, trophy /ˈtɹoʊfi/, fry /fɹaɪ/, buffet /bəˈfeɪ/, cafeteria /ˌkæ.fə.ˈtɪ(ə).ɹi.ə/

この動画での練習方法

  1. まず声を出さずに動画を最後まで聞き、知らない単語をメモします。
  2. まず0.75倍速で一文ずつシャドーイングし、慣れてきたら通常の速度に戻します。
  3. 自分の声を録音して元の音声と比べます。fondue, taco, mattressなどの単語に特に注意しましょう。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
