Shadowing Practice: trying the BEST fast foods… - Learn English Speaking with Video

I swear to god whenever I'm walking around with the camera it's like I'm walking around with a f*ing AK.

Tip!

Yes, nice contraption.

Hi!

Really good food here, huh?

Hey, what's up guys?

Sarah Safar here and we're back at it with another YouTube video.

Today we are trying the best fast foods there are.

Going back to my food critic era, I don't think I'm meant to be a bodybuilder.

I think I'm meant to be a food critic.

And our first stop is Kava.

I have a love-hate relationship with Kava, but I think the fact that we have a camera on us is going to help us get some more food.

They're probably going to load it up.

They see the camera.

You know what I hate?

I hate when Chipotle or Kava do that thing where they scoop the chicken

and they shake the chicken before they put it on your plate.

I'm like, no, like, bro, if you scooped it, just dump it.

Like, why are you shaking it?

You know what I mean?

I swear to God, whenever I'm walking around with a camera, it's like I'm walking around with a f*ing AK.

Like, no, it's just a camera.

We will not get you in the video.

It's going to be okay.

Unless you want to be in the video.

My friends ask me all the time, like, if I get embarrassed.

Filming in public?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you?

Yes and now.

I sometimes do too.

It's like in the beginning, right?

Like, right now, I'm not embarrassed at all.

Like, I'm not embarrassed to talk to the camera in public.

But I'm embarrassed to make other people feel, like, in an uncomfortable situation and not say anything.

Like, if they're just like, hey, like, can you not film?

Fine, annoying, but I get it.

I just don't want to put anyone in a bad situation.

But like, do I feel awkward talking to the camera in public?

No. I'd be talking to myself in public, so.

What if we catch someone with their side chick?

That would be crazy.

Like, on a date?

Like, wait, is my man's right now at Cava with another girl?

He never even takes me to Cava.

He just takes me to Chipotle.

Like, what?

Cava's like bougie Chipotle.

I always say it's like a Mediterranean Chipotle.

Cava's way better than Chipotle.

You know, post-workout, I want something.

Cava's a good option.

I was gonna rate In-N-Out for you guys, but you all know how I feel about In-N-Out.

I thought it'd be redundant to incorporate In-N-Out into this vlog.

The only thing with Kava that f*ing sucks, and it is my biggest fear, is waiting in lines.

I absolutely hate waiting in lines.

Kava takes four f*ing ever.

Holy effing.

I'm so angry.

That's a nice hat.

It's a good color.

What?

It's a good color hat.

Oh, I thought that's a nice back.

No, I didn't say that.

No, this is a good hat.

I love this hat.

This is the Astros, right?

I think, I don't know.

I don't know.

I might get roasted, but I think it's the Astros.

I don't know.

I just like fitted hats.

And this was on sale at Lids for $15 and I was like, give it to me.

Oh, my buddy said he saw you. At Lids?

Yeah, some tall white dudes.

Yep, so I was like, you gonna hook it up for a half?

This is the true test.

I think if you have a camera, they...

Hi.

I think they loaded up more with food.

I don't know, though.

Maybe not.

I don't know.

I'm scared now.

Can I please get a bowl?

Do you want the pita bread with it?

Yes, I'll have the pita bread.

Thank you.

Could I have white rice and like a little bit of this romaine?

Romaine, sure.

But more white rice.

So, yeah, thank you.

Uh, Dips, can I please do two tzatziki and one of the orange hummus?

Oh, thank you.

Oh, can I do steak, please?

Ooh!

We got some good steak on there.

No, I didn't see any shaking.

100

I didn't see any shaking either, she just dumped.

101

Should I do chicken and steak?

102

Remember, we got some other places to go.

103

We got some more places.

104

Yeah, that's true.

105

Okay, fine.

106

We'll just see.

107

Deal, deal, deal, deal, deal.

108

One thing about me, babe, I can eat.

109

Yesterday, I had In-N-Out, and then I ordered it to go for someone else.

110

I ate the to-go.

111

I was literally so hungry, and I had to go and reorder the to-go because I ate her to-go.

112

Embarrassing, but I did it.

113

Have you noticed, like, any different, like, body composition since, like, bulking, quote-unquote?

114

Not yet, but I feel stronger than Jif.

115

I think my arms are getting a little bigger.

116

I don't know if you guys can tell, but we should get a measuring tape and measuring because we're adding a few centimeters, I think.

117

We've been out here for 20 minutes, and I don't have my food yet.

118

So that for sure deducts points.

119

I already did trying the worst fast foods, which they ended up being pretty fire.

120

So if you guys want, go and watch that video after you finish watching this video, okay?

121

These pita chips look exquisite.

122

They're so good.

123

You ever had them?

124

No. Oh my god.

125

They look insane.

126

They're crack.

127

I'm a hoe for barbecue.

128

Cheers.

129

Can I please do corn?

130

Can I please do cucumber salad?

131

Can I do cucumber? Can I do tomato?

132

Damn.

133

Can I do light yogurt dough?

134

Thank you.

135

And then can I do some of those barbecue chips maybe are they yummy?

136

Okay, that's what I heard.

137

Damn little lady.

138

You sure can't put it away.

139

Huh?

140

They're growing your hair out officially.

141

Yeah, we're gonna wait to get long and luscious

142

Yeah So one thing about Cava that is really good they have pebbled ice, but they also have the diet Mexican Cola luck.

143

I don't know what it is, but it's way better than Diet Coke.

144

Just trust me on this, okay?

145

Okay, we didn't get a receipt, but it was $26, which is kind of expensive, but I did get the pita chips in a drink.

146

Wait, first impression, presentation.

147

It looks amazing.

148

It tastes amazing.

149

The look is good.

150

The only thing with me is I like to examine the meat before I eat it.

151

So I look at every piece of beef to see if it has any fatty parts because I don't like the chewy.

152

Oh my God, it turns me off

153

so much i hate the chewy part of meat it will make me disgusted with the entire bowl

154

looks good very colorful try it try a chip try a chip apparently it's barbecue flavor

155

oh my god i wish it was warm dude you're a food vlogger now you're not a freaking fitness influencer

156

oh my god this is really satisfying to record just to

157

let you know really yeah like watching you eat i'm like damn

158

that should look good no it's just like entertaining something this

159

is hands down amazing for 25 dollars i feel like 25

160

is expensive you could have went to the grocery store

161

and fed yourself like six times also another interesting thing about

162

kava they don't have a tip option at the end i've noticed

163

that have you ate today ah okay i was saving my calories for this

164

but you're bulking you don't need to save your calories after

165

this vlog did you go to the gym today already nope

166

if there's a coffee near you you have to whoever says chipotle is better than this You're trippin'.

167

There's nothing but cake right there.

168

You think they sell VBLs there?

169

I need one.

170

Okay, so should we like have like an official scoring system like environment, taste, price?

171

Hey, so environment, I'd give this like a seven.

172

It's nothing special.

173

There's nice AC blowing, the lines are kind of long always.

174

It takes a while, but the food, 10 out of 10.

175

But sometimes it's hit or miss.

176

That's the thing.

177

It's not consistent like In-N-Out.

178

And now there's a true 10 out of 10 in my book this this is good

179

but it doesn't always hit like it's getting today

180

it's high up there environment seven food nine price not bad eight the price really isn't bad in theory

181

because i also didn't need to get the drink or the chips

182

but i did the bowl itself is probably 15 bucks yeah

183

overall 4 8.5 i wasn't planning on finishing it you have

184

an idea on where you want to go to next

185

but it's gonna be a surprise it's a surprise do you like surprises keep watching.

186

Sarah the hat backwards makes it look like you can break dance.

187

Can you break dance?

188

I have no sense of rhythm.

189

Yesterday someone asked me, Sarah oh my god I ate so much it's stuck in my throat.

190

I sometimes don't chew my food all the way.

191

Oh my god.

192

207

that was a 10 out of 10 this time it was

208

209

that sorry guys no you're good just some food critics oh

210

watch out watch out good save almost backed up oh hi puppy oh it's just a little pug No, that was insane.

211

I wish all of you guys could have ate that with me.

212

I'm going to be thinking about that bowl for the foreseeable future.

213

When I eat something that was really good, I think about it for days after.

214

Like, I had really good In-N-Out yesterday.

215

Woke up this morning, first thing in my mind, In-N-Out.

216

Okay, I'm not going to lie, that kava did me so good.

217

Those pita chips were insane.

218

The barbecue, harissa, pita chips, chef's kiss.

219

Whoever invented those, I'd kiss you on your mouth.

220

Probably not, actually.

221

Now we're moving on to apparently what the best burger in the country is, and that's Shake Shack.

222

Honestly, nobody's here.

223

The parking lot's empty.

224

I don't even know if there's anyone inside.

225

That's not a good sign.

226

You know, when it's too dead, it's like, wait, is it bad?

227

But we're going to go check it out.

228

Last time I had Shake Shack, I remember this vividly.

229

I was at the Pittsburgh Pro.

230

Someone else Uber Eats Me Shake Shack, and I bit into the burger, and it was pink.

231

I'm okay with my steaks being a little pink, but ground beef I don't think should be pink because it's not like a good cut of meat.

232

Look, I don't know the details.

233

It just turned me off.

234

Did I still finish the burger?

235

Yeah, I did.

236

I feel pretty full from the kava, all the sauces.

237

You know, I'm feeling lethargic.

238

But I'm never going to say no to a freaking burger.

239

Like, come on, get in there, sweetheart.

240

Thank you.

241

Nobody's in here.

242

Hi.

243

Thank you.

244

Smell?

245

Not the best.

246

I hate ordering off these computers.

247

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

248

Oh, oh!

249

This?

250

Biscoff cookie butter tiramisu shake?

251

That sounds crazy.

252

Eight dollars?

253

Okay, I don't even care.

254

Oh, 1100 calories?

255

Oh my god.

256

Dude, your stomach is gonna be freaking out.

257

We're gonna have to do a kid's meal.

258

I'm nervous for you.

259

I'm nervous for me too.

260

You guys are like skinny and you don't do carbs.

261

First of all, you're a bitch.

262

Second of all, I guess they have like lettuce wraps here.

263

If you care for that few things

264

if a man pulls up to take me on a date in a stop-top car no

265

if we go out to eat

266

and he's like i'm keto like we don't there's a few things we don't do like

267

if you're a man you're not doing a lettuce wrap babe

268

you're getting the butt okay leave some things for the women

269

and lettuce wrap is for the women okay lettuce wrap is not for the men what

270

if it's locked in i don't give a

271

look you can do the carbs okay do some extra cardio

272

huh yeah just a single one we're gonna I'm gonna keep it basic.

273

Add bacon, no, that's haram.

274

Sides, let's get some fries, okay?

275

I think we can really tell a place by their fries.

276

Their fries are good here.

277

Controversial opinion.

278

Do I want another drink how fat do i look no

279

okay let's pay up baby 20 bucks not bad enter my name sarah trend

280

take out number we'll take number 20 see this makes it so hard like look at all this tip

281

i didn't even talk to a person for the camera maybe i'll leave a tip but i'm not going to Okay, who did I talk to?

282

Imagine that's like the action that got you canceled.

283

Bruh, I've done way worse.

284

I've said things out of context.

285

How much was it?

286

$22, yeah.

287

$22, okay.

288

I'm not gonna lie, I can't believe I have that shake.

289

It better taste f*ing delicious.

290

Last time I had a Biscoff tiramisu anything, I was in the south of France, and this place had this dessert, and it was a Biscoff tiramisu,

291

and I think about it at least twice a week.

292

I would literally go back to the south of France just for that dessert.

293

So the fact that they have a shake here, shake that ass.

294

Uh, shake your booty?

295

The fact that they have a shake here, it's doing something to me, but it's limited time only, allegedly.

296

Ambiance of this place is good, okay?

297

No one's in here, it's quiet, nice AC's blowing, they got music, whatever.

298

Love.

299

It doesn't smell like a food place, not gonna lie.

300

It just smells like nothing, it smells like nothing.

301

But nice and quiet.

302

Yeah, we like it, we like it, we like it, we like it.

303

Yeah, it was $22.36.

304

Not a bad price, but to be fair, I only got a single burger because I just ate a bunch of food.

305

So the shake was almost more expensive than a burger.

306

Yeah, no, the shake was more expensive.

307

The shake was $12 or something.

308

And it has more calories.

309

Yeah, it also aligned me.

310

Made in the USA.

311

Sustainable sourced white oat.

312

Ooh, we like that.

313

Nice table.

314

So there's no line, they have that beef.

315

But then also when there's literally no line period, I'm a little suspicious.

316

Why is there no line? there no line does no one

317

like this place is it bad is the service poor is the food quality bad

318

oh my god it's doing something to me i saw this thing i'm gonna try to find it

319

and pop it up shake shack

320

and this other place called burger fi have s tier rated meat

321

so what that means okay everything else was rated like dnf tier like in

322

and out was also on the low end wendy's was above in

323

and out shake shack had the best quality meat

324

which is super important when choosing a burger spot obviously i know a thing

325

or two about a good burger

326

so we're gonna really put it to the test the quality

327

of beef does look good in my eyes smells good doesn't smell as good as in

328

and out though oh yeah that's a good burger it's definitely

329

greasier i wonder what type of oil they use wow this

330

is good do you think you could ever convert to like shake shack more than in

331

and out but the quality of beef really is

332

that much better than i need to let's try a fry crinkle cut amazing

333

that was a good crunch i heard it from here with

334

or without cheese with cheese oh you living life on the edge today huh oh yeah just know people

335

350

Okay, Shake Shack's fine.

You're not getting fired.

352

I don't know if that happened.

353

That's why we clarified it.

354

We're not letting you get fired.

355

I ain't going to let this real good.

356

Okay, so environment, one out of ten.

357

It's a ten out of ten.

358

I can't put it down.

359

We gotta get out of here.

360

We're not.

361

We're not.

362

You know what it is?

363

I'm gonna tell you what it is.

364

I didn't think I got sauce in my hair.

365

Oh yeah, you did.

366

Yeah.

367

Okay, well, that's really embarrassing i can tell you what the thing is the thing is in

368

and out sauce is really good the sauce here i'm not with not as much as enough

369

but this honestly on par the fries are fire so good this really is just exquisite

370

oh no no okay you take the shake with us shake

371

your booty you dead ate two meals in a row yeah Yeah, that was embarrassing.

372

Not even 30 minutes apart from each other.

373

The first meal hasn't even had the ability to digest in my stomach.

374

But here's the thing, I'm doing this for you guys.

375

Oh!

376

So if you've made it this far, like and comment, because this is for you.

377

You think I wanted to do this?

378

I'd have gunned in my head.

379

I didn't want to do this.

380

Why would I want to do this?

381

This is the thing, if you get some water, it cancels out some of the calories you just consumed.

382

I like this contraption.

383

Yes, it's a nice contraption.

384

Hi.

385

Really good food here, huh?

386

I really wish I could give you guys a sip of this.

387

I love you and I'm gonna miss you, but I'm lactose intolerant and you have about 1200 calories in you

388

and I still need to eat another meal I love you

389

it's like you're coming with me all right guys I feel so full I'm eating really fast

390

we're at our third stop now we're at Raisin Cane's Raisin

391

Cane's also fire food I think probably one of the best

392

fast foods as well I think all the places we're going really are like best fast foods you can find in America.

393

So we're gonna go in here try it out.

394

It is fried which I don't love.

395

I usually get the naked.

396

That's an option they have here.

397

You guys don't know about that because it's low-key.

398

They got naked wings which means like they're just not as deeply fried.

399

I didn't know that.

400

No one knows that and they're a little bit more anabolic.

401

This is Raising Cane's.

402

Oh my god.

403

Come on.

404

After you.

405

Get in there.

406

Thank you.

407

How's it going?

408

Can I just get like a kid's meal?

409

Alright guys, I got the kid's meal because it's honestly the same exact food just in a smaller portion, which I need.

410

Okay, they got the good ice and they got a Coke Zero.

411

I have small hands and this is a small cup, so I'll love the...

412

Dude, kid's meal, not bad.

413

Nine bucks, eight bucks.

414

Great ambiance in this place.

415

I overdid myself at Raising Cane's a few times because they always have it at events.

416

Like, Dobrik's always has it.

417

I probably put down 11 chicken fingers at the Raising Cane's party at Super Bowl.

418

There's this funny clip I remember.

419

You, like, stole Sugar Sean's Tendra at Dobrik's.

420

Can I have a bite?

421

It's just so good.

422

I didn't even get that one.

423

I was gonna fight a little whole serving size You didn't eat all that.

424

Why am I still excited to eat?

425

He's like 3,000 calories.

426

Maybe even more No, I think I had more than 3,000 calories We get a

427

double bicep I Swear to you guys the one thing I

428

can do is eat like I can put down food Like

429

if it's fast food

430

and I'm eating out like I can do it I can put down like burgers and put down pizzas like it.

431

Oh, I can just put it down And thank you.

432

Oh my God, this is such a cutie bag.

433

Okay, see, bad sign.

434

Fries are limp, and I hate limp fries.

435

I like them hard and crunchy.

436

Mmm, oh my God, good.

437

The sauce is also really good.

438

You like the hot sauce?

439

Hot sauce?

440

They have hot sauce.

441

Mmm.

442

One moment, one moment.

443

Oh, what a good guy.

444

Excuse me, can I get a hot sauce?

445

Maybe like three?

446

Thank you.

447

Mmm.

448

Here you go.

449

Thank you.

450

You're welcome.

451

Okay, so some people will just have it on its own, right?

452

And some people will put the hot sauce in that sauce.

453

Oh!

454

I already knew where that was going.

455

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
