Watch the first episode
We are starting with the dish that was never meant to be eaten elegantly and always calls for extra napkins: wings with cheddar sauce.

What Andrei and Teo taste in episode one
Three things land on the table, and they are made to be shared:
- 🍗 Classic Wings — crisp outside and juicy inside.
- 🍟 Parmesan fries — golden, generous and covered with Parmesan.
- 🧀 Cheddar sauce — warm and creamy, ready for the wings, the fries or both at once.
How do Andrei and Teo handle them? We will not spoil that part. Their faces tell the story better than an article ever could.
Why the combination works
Wings are a classic American diner experience. You eat them with your hands, pass them around the table and almost inevitably end up laughing, covered in sauce and ordering another round.
At Big5, they sit alongside burgers, Tex-Mex dishes and other American-inspired comfort food: serious portions, plenty of flavor and zero ceremony.
The cheddar sauce is not there just to decorate the side of the plate. Warm, creamy and lightly salty, it completes both the crisp wings and the Parmesan fries. In short, it is a trio that is difficult to leave unfinished.
A new series tasting the entire Big5 menu
Episode one is only the beginning. In “Taste the American Dream”, Andrei and Teo work their way through the Big5 menu: burgers, wings, Tex-Mex, milkshakes and more surprises from the kitchen.
No rehearsed speeches and no advertising reactions. Just food, first impressions, funny moments and enough appetite for the whole table.
