Question(Please!!)
Hi, there
On the website buzfeed , I came across a video of a boy who goes around the city tasting and reviewing chicken. Then he is talking to a guy and this conversation ensues:
"A:Have you ever thought about doing super posh fried chicken?"
"B: A lot of time it won't mach up to this. And so, when they get flamed, I want the world to know." What does "match up to this" mean here? What about "when they get flamed"?
Thank you very much!!!

It's hard to tell what this means with only the small dialogue you provided. 'Match up to this' means 'measure up to this' or be of equal quality.
'When they get flamed' could mean 'when they get found out' or 'when they get discovered to be of poor quality'. To be flamed generally means to be attacked or insulted by someone.

"Match up to this" doesn't sound quite right in British English. Maybe it's more common in American English. But what it means here is "doesn't have the same quality as". We might say "it doesn't match" this standard. Or "it doesn't come up to the mark" or similar.
I didn't understand the sentence about getting flamed. Are they talking about cooking the chicken? As in barbecuing the meat? Doesn't make much sense as you've written it.
