6 Aug 2026 · Putting the BIG CARL through comprehensive lab tests ! Limited time only!
Sponsored. Russ has previously stated that he never scores in sponsored videos, so the food he reviews carries no applied pressure or bias.
Wins the 'lab tests' 3-1 over the Little Lenny on price, weight and beef diameter; ties on girth and taste.
Sponsored head-to-head: the Big Carl costs $6.95 ($8.95 meal with free refills), weighs 275g and has a 100mm patty vs 80mm. It lost the onion-and-pickles round because it has neither. Taste was a draw, with the Big Carl showing more flame-grilled flavour. The scoreboard is only an on-screen tally, not a /10 rating.
