- Today we saucin' on 'em. - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music) Good mythical morning. - Now, back when we were kids, if you went to a place like
McDonalds and you wanted to, you know, mix it up a
little bit with your nugs, you might be able to get barbecue sauce, you might be able to get some
special sauce on your big mac, but I mean I still remember the day when they introduced sweet and sour sauce and that was, my mind
was absolutely blown. But besides that, if you wanted
something more experimental, you were SOL, sauce out of luck. - (chuckles) Okay, but today, we're living in a fast
food sauce-aissance. I mean, it's an enlightenment of all types of sauces all over the place. And not just dipping sauces, I'm talking about
on-the-sandwich sauces too. So what we've done is we
have gathered the best signature fast food sauces out there. And today, actually,
over the next three days, we're gonna determine the
best of the best by category. - Indroducing the first ever three-day premiere bracket competition to name the best fast food sauce your local delivery window offers, a daring delight of squeezable spreads, a titillating tussle of tangy toppings, a fiery fight of finishing flavors, it's time for fast food
saucedown: burger sauces! Whoo, I'm lightheaded. When we say signature fast food sauce, we're not talking about
just the basic sauces that everybody has. We're definitely not talking
about ketchup, come on! We're talking about unique
sauces with original recipes, and you know, they're highlighted, they're promoted by these
fast food restaurant menus, and today, we're doing burger sauces, but hey, like Link said,
this is three days. Tomorrow we're doing chicken sauces, and then Wednesday,
we're doing fry sauces. - Yeah, and so to kick things off, we want to thank you for helping determine the contestants for
today and every single day. We posted and you voted on your favorites. In fact, 33,000 votes, which
determined which sauces were eliminated from the
competition before it even started, and which ones made our bracket. So our contenders today are - [Rhett] McDonald's
Big Mac Special Sauce. - [Link] Jack in the
Box Jack's Secret Sauce. - [Rhett] Wendy's Side of S-Awesome Sauce. - [Link] Shake Shack Shack Sauce. - [Rhett] Arby's Arby's Sauce. - [Link] Arby's Horsey Sauce. - [Rhett] In-N-Out Spread. - Whataburger Creamy Pepper Sauce, rounding out the brackets. - In the end, the sauce left standing will be the undisputed, ultimate goop to squirt on your meat. - So we got McDonald's Big Mac sauce, in the number one seed, versus Jack in the Box Jack's
Secret Sauce over here. And you may notice that
these are control burgers. That's right, since
we're focusing on sauce, we just are gonna eat all of them on plain old burgers. - They're actually from IHOP. - I don't wanna dis IHOP, I'm just saying they're all the same. - This is the old standby. - [Link] Nothing but a burger and a sauce. - Been around since 1967. - Dink it and sink it. - Oh, 1968. - Now, the official recipe
is a guarded secret. But we know it's got
mayo, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion
powder, and paprika, ooh. Okay, you taking a second bite. - Only 'cause I like it so much. - Pace yourself, alright,
and let's move on over here to the Jack in the Box underdog. It's a red sauce. Looking at this, I
would have just told you this is like a weird type of marinara. - I couldn't have told
you what this looked like. - We have a long list of ingredients, but interestingly enough,
it includes less than 2% of A1 steak sauce, Tabasco
sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, all registered trademarks. - This is like a sauce
you make at your own house with just other stuff. Pretty subtle. - Sweet, tangy. - It's not a bad sauce, but there's something superb
about the Big Mac sauce, because you've got that mayonnaise base. I think you need that
creaminess on a burger. - Jack in the Box secret sauce, we gotta give it the patented sauce toss. I'll do the honors this time? - Yeah, no look! Oh, you know what, you're on line. - Did I come up short? - You did. - [Link] And Big Mac sauce moves on. - Next, we have Wendy's
Side of S'awesome Sauce, versus Shake Shack Shack sauce. - Now, this sauce was first offered alongside the chicken tenders at Wendy's. And then they decided to start putting it on the S'Awesome Bacon Classic Burger, as a limited menu item. Tastes like Catalina salad dressing to me. - Yeah. - Ooh, it's better on the burger than just tasting it alone. - That's not a bad sauce. - Yeah, that's surprising. - Shake Shack Shack Sauce, which is hard to say, 'cause I want to say
Shake Shack Shack Shauce. - It's very reminiscent of
the Big Mac sauce in color. - [Rhett] It's taken
its cues from Big Mac. - But it doesn't have the pickles. It got a pinch of cayenne pepper in it. - It has a Dijon mustard
in it that you can taste. That gives it a little bit of a twist. - This Catalina ripoff
starts to compete too much. It doesn't prop up the burger, and I really like that. I can tell this is made for fries and then somebody got cute. That's just what I'm saying, man. - This is not easy for
me, definitely not easy. This does feel like it should be married to something
us, other than a burger. - Maybe salad, you want
to give it the sauce toss? - I'm fine with moving the Shack Sauce. - Alright, the no look. Oh, you were a little short as well. Shake Shack Sauce moves on. - Shake Shack Sauce. If you're curious about

of, but beef between buns. - Beef between buns. - And they put some sauce on that stuff. Arby's Sauce versus Horsey Sauce. Maybe we'll discover something here, that it should be on a burger. - That Arby's should add
one more thing to their menu and it should be a burger? - That is odd. - That makes me think that
you haven't had it before. - Makes you stink? - You're not an Arby's guy, I know that. - It's very vinegar-y. - You don't like roast beef. - It's watery. - You're scared of roast beef,
you told me this one time. - I got sick when I ate
a roast beef sandwich at Hardy's when I was a kid. And it's been ingrained ever since. This may be a new way for
me to get back into it, just put it on a burger. - Now this has got horseradish in it. - Whoo, and not just a little! It's got a wasabi type sensation. - You know, I'm a big fan of a
lot of things, you know that. There's not many things I don't like. Horseradish, I understand
why some people love it, but I just have never really been able to run my math, my mouth around it. - My mouth, my mouth. I can't get my mouth around
it, 'cause my mouth too small. - But you are gonna take another
bite because you're Rhett. - Mm hmm. - You're gonna give it
all the chance you can. - Can we just get rid of
all the Arby's options? - Well, that kind of throws off the whole tournament nature of this, but sure, screw it, let's do it. - No, no, no. - Nah, let's do it. - I want Arby's Sauce to go forward. I like it better than the Horsey Sauce. - [Rhett] Ohh! - So close. - Closest yet. - [Link] Arby's Sauce moves on. - Okay, now we've got In-N-Out Spread versus Whataburger Creamy Pepper Sauce. - This is a good matchup. - Can you believe these two came together? This is just happenstance that we get the two seed and the four seed. - You got the California favorite, you got the Texas favorite. - Oh, seven seed over here. We've talked so much trash about Whataburger throughout the years. - In-N-Out Spread starts on the burger, but then you can also get it on fries. - Ah, it is so good. - Unchanged since 1948. - I'm not just saying that
because I live in California. You just licked it and
some went on your crotch. - Yeah, it did. - Don't be, hey, no shame in that. No shame on getting a
little sauce on your crotch. - It tastes good off the crotch. - This sauce is sorta just sorta splatting just on top there. - It's very watery but
it must be good because they freaking sell it on its own. There's not many people who do that. - It just leaked onto my ankle! - I mean, yeah, this
is, this stuff is runny! - Make it thicker, y'all! Put some xanthan gum in there! Oh, it's got a kick, I like that. - Mm, wow, mm, man! - I like the taste, I
hate the consistency. - What is this, there's
some vinegar in there, there's some lemon
juice, buttermilk powder, chipotle peppers in garlic. There's a reason that this
is being sold on its own. 'Cause it's pretty magical. - It's not magic, it's
magical enough to get, to get it on yourself when
you're trying to eat it. I don't like that. - Well, it's childproof. I'm voting for the Whataburger sauce even though I am, I'm on
record against Whataburger and I ain't changing that. I don't understand why you think
it's that great, I'm sorry. Well, do you know what, I'm not sorry. - You think it's great
enough to vote for though. - I am voting for the sauce. - I am voting for this sauce. - Okay, so that means we
gotta bring out the patty. What are we calling this? - So this is a burger slap. You each have a patty. And whoever, whichever man. - Let me see your, oh, like that. - Yeah, you just, you slap each other with a high five, right? And then whoever's got more
meat left is the winner. - Okay. - Three, two, one, (slap) - Well, that's not gonna work. (beep) Three, two, one. Alright so now, oh! (chuckles) - Oh no, don't, does
shoulder burger count? Does shoulder burger count? - I think that's my
burger on your shoulder, so I don't know if it counts. - Does shoulder burger count, judges? - No, it doesn't, only
this, so hold this out. That's yours on top of mine. - [Rhett] There, that's the
same amount of meat, man, because mine goes longer that way, and then yours goes longer that way. - But then mine's stuck to your shoulder. - This isn't your
burger, that's my burger. It's my shoulder, I know that at least. - Alright, let's slap again. (beep) Three, two, one. Alright, so here's mine. - Okay, I think you won that one. - Whataburger moves on. And give that In-N-Out a sauce toss. - We got burger everywhere. I, hey listen, this pains me
to get rid of In-N-Out sauce. (upbeat music) We got our first semifinal match. We got the Big Mac sauce and
then the Shake Shack sauce. - Lot of pickles in this Big Mac sauce. - It's still good! - It really gives it a pickley punch. - It's still good! - Which is nice, no
discernible pickles here on the Shake Shack Shacksauce. They got some of that Dijon mustard. This is a kosher dill
pickling brine in this. - Shake Shack is my favorite burger. And my favorite burger at
Shake Shack is the smokestack, it might be the smokeshack. - Smokeshack. - It has a sauce on it,
and I absolutely love it. - Yeah, I'mma go just sauce on the finger, sauce on the finger. I mean, they're the
exact same color profile. So pickle forward on the Big Mac. Shake Shack is thicker and it's the same except for it has a little more,
has a little more Dijon-ish and that has a little more pickley. - And I like pickles more than Dijon. - And I like the um, what
are those things called? The pickle bumps. - Relish. - I like the pickle bumps. So we're gonna toss, I'm having so many brain farts right now. What is this? I can't talk anymore. - I can hear the gears turning. - Stopping. Shake Shack Shacksauce is
getting the shack toss. That was a little short. - You almost hit yourself with it. Now we've got Arby's Arby's sauce versus Whataburger Creamy Pepper Sauce. - And the Arby's sauce gets the sauce toss and the Whataburger Creamy Pepper Sauce - [Rhett] Moves on. - So right now, it's final time. And the underdog, the Cinderella story, the seventh seed Whataburger
Creamy Pepper sauce is facing off against the number
one, Big Mac Special Sauce, complete with the pickle bumps. - I don't even, I don't have
to taste this again right now. Because I know how much I love it. I just gotta have an ankle-free experience with the Whataburger sauce. - I mean, look at that. See, look at it, immediately dripping, but when you taste it. It grabs your tongue and it won't let go. But it's just, it's a gentle grab. - I like the flavor. I like the kick. - You like a kick! - I like the kick, but I
don't like runniness, man! It really is, as a texture
man, I would think that you would have some appreciation
for my texture problems. - Are we going with sweet and pickley or are we going with spicy and runny? - Runny, not a great descriptor. - I don't know, Whataburger
really has surprised us. - I'm gonna have to
leave this up to you man. Because I just don't think that you can do better than
the Big Mac Special Sauce. I think they got it right. I just think it can't be overdone. Overdone, outdone. - Well, I'm honored to find
myself in this position and I don't take the decision lightly. Whataburger Creamy Pepper,
you're runny, baby, you get the sauce toss. - Make it thicker. Aw, we didn't get one in there! But what we can do. (Link vocalizing) - You won, look at that! Ladies and gentlemen,
Big Mac Special Sauce that is totally secret
and fun with pickle bumps wins best sauce for burgers, no regrets. - Alright, come back tomorrow, we're gonna find the best
chicken dipping sauce. - Thanks for subscribing

We all knew McDonald's would win.
i love the way they got rid of the Arby's sauce
Okay I did freak out. Cause I had just finished some food and felt something in my teeth when they told me not to freak out cause something was in my teeth.
The Whataburger pepper sauce isn't typically that runny- I can't imagine why theirs was. Great episode either way!
Bracket pending, I can’t fathom anything taking down Cane’s Sauce tomorrow. That is a steep mountain to climb.
This might be one of my favorite tournaments they've done. The patty tiebreaker was a genius concept!
Now I really want a burger... plain with just some delicious sauce on it.
They said the word "sauce" 90 times (in one form or another...)
Horsey Sauce got hosed
