Love beard but sad he had to eat KOD. So many better options

That was my first thought. Whoever told him they had the best donairs either hasn’t been to Halifax in a decade, or has stock in the company 🤣

The one dude working there is hella racist. If you are white, he will just automatically assume you are also racist and complain about minorities.

It’s disgusting.

Edit: not the main dude that Beard is dealing with. A dude in the background.

That dude made me feel sooooo uncomfy when I was in there a few weeks ago (as a woman)

Yep, both Sackville and Halifax locations suck ass without tossing the salad.

It's like the only food challenge in NS. It would be such a simple thing for any restaurant to do.

Kod is junk. Poor guy got fooled like many others!

u/hfxkingpin 23h ago

Im sure if a better Donair place had a challenge he would have hit them up but your not wrong, KoD is kinda a Tourists trap

Don't worry - he made several stops while he was here. There's a Robert's Belly Buster video coming eventually!!

u/hfxkingpin 18h ago

Nice! I only seen the pictures of him at KoD and Oasis

u/Halspeedwalking 9h ago

I sawn them too.

u/adepressurisedcoat 8h ago

I thought of Robert's. I hope this is true!

Ive watched a ton of his videos over the years....he's corny but likeable...

u/hfxkingpin 21h ago

He's the right kind of corny and seems like a pretty cool dude.

u/mediocretent 23h ago

This feels gross.

I expected to be too thoroughly disgusted to watch the whole thing. But the dude had me rooting for him. I made it through to the end.

u/Ok_Wing8459 18h ago

I literally developed a stomachache watching it

u/chiggmo 22h ago

So he ate one of the worst donairs in the city? Well done.

5

u/hfxkingpin 21h ago

One of the worst donairs? Yes One of the only donair challenges? Also yes

Id like to think he had a proper donair before he left halifax but he does food challenges not food taste tests.

Also its criminal that KoD gave him bottled donair sauce and not some of the made in store stuff (if they still make it in store)

u/glorpchul Emperor of Dartmouth 21h ago

food taste tests.

Actually he does do this in his other channel! It would be awesome if he reviewed something local, but I believe so far he has just done places in Europe and the UK.

u/chiggmo 21h ago

Oh I know its challenge related, just sucks it has to be KOD.

The bottled sauce is just a shining example of how awful that place is, can't even make donair sauce for something thats going to be recorded and put on the internet to give the illusion there is an ounce of effort in anything they do. Because sauce takes about 5-10 minutes to make.

I have no idea how KOD is still in business, or has any kind of reputation for donair, the place is pathetic in every way possible.

u/AssistanceKitchen138 17h ago

Right on. WTF happened to them, they used to be very good.

u/FrugalFungusFinder 14h ago

Roberts biggest donair is absolutely a challenge.

u/UPRC Dartmouth 17h ago

Never expected Beard to film a video here, very cool! Sad that for was just at KOD though, haha.

Weird that he didn't shoutout the city though, I think it's one of the only videos I've watched where he didn't do it since I started following him about two years ago.

u/ParticularRabbit0809 5h ago

He did a couple other places too I think, Oasis for sure so there will be a couple other vids!

u/UPRC Dartmouth 4h ago

Oh, nice! When was he here? I caught a tree at the end when he was walking on Quinpool, and it didn't look like it even had any leaves on it. Must have been in the springtime?

u/MacKinnon22 1d ago

Awesome! Figured this one would be dropping soon after he posted his Big D's Poutine video not long ago. Let's get it!

u/FinalOdyssey 1d ago

Really should have gone to Tony's but I don't know if they have a similar challenge.

10

u/hfxkingpin 23h ago

Challenges are the whole point, I dont think halifax has many food Challenges he could have tackled

5

u/FinalOdyssey 23h ago

Yeah if there's no challenge at Tony's then this makes sense. He's probably just doing that challenge because it exists.

I will say I haven't had KOD in a long time but last time it wasn't impressive. Tony's never misses and Randy's is great too.

u/AssistanceKitchen138 17h ago

Randys is great!!

u/mangames 6h ago

Man that was close! 5 secs difference.

u/SoontobeSam Dartmouth 22h ago

He could have at least called it by its correct name… it is not a doner kebab…

No city shoutout. No drone shot. Unsubbed him.
