He claimed to have eaten "a sh*t load of Filipino food" due to his Filipino step-mother, but had never tried Jollibee before.

In the video, Blanco criticized various Jollibee items, calling adobo rice "dry a**" and spaghetti "like vomit."

He dipped chicken in pineapple juice, which further upset viewers.

He concluded by saying, "Don't go to Jollibee, this sh*t sucks."

Netizens' reacted strongly, calling him disrespectful and "disgusting."

In an attempt to make amends, Blanco created another video trying Filipino dishes from other LA restaurants.

He praised a Spicy Chicken Sandwich, stating a complete reversal from his Jollibee experience. He also tried dishes like lumpia, longganisa, chicken inasal, and pansit.
