This video is part of “Netflix Cooking School," Delish’s new partnership with Netflix where we bring readers exclusive content tied to the premieres of some of their most popular new (and returning!) food shows.


Food critic Daym Drops got his start by posting food review videos from his car on YouTube, and now, he's starring in his very own Netflix show. His YouTube videos are evidence about how opinionated Daym gets about food, so I was thrilled that he stopped by Delish to answer some of our burning questions about over-hyped fast food items, YouTube drama, and so much more.

In this episode of our candy challenge Suck It Up, Daym answers "Never Have I Ever Questions" while eating the most sour candy you can buy at the store—plus one super-exclusive sour candy made by our very own test kitchen. As the questions got harder, the candy gets increasingly sour, but we started off easy by asking Daym if he feels like he put Five Guys on the map. The short answer is yes; his Five Guys review from 2012 helped him blow up and garner a following of over 1 million subscribers.

When asked about his preference between Burger King's chicken sandwich and the internet-breaking Popeyes chicken sandwich, Daym had some detailed thoughts. "The Popeyes Spicy Chicken Sandwich...I mean, let's keep that all the way, 100-percent funky. You get crispiness you get thick on thick on thick and although Burger King owns Popeyes, they still weren't able to see what Popeyes was doing with their spicy chicken sandwich."

There you have it. According to Daym, it was worth the hype—and all of the nationwide shortages, I guess!

Fresh, Fried, & Crispy's first season is streaming now on Netflix.
