yo Chad chill you know why I’m here come on know I eat go what’s up GQ I’m phom and I’m about to cook up my favorite sandwiches I’m not just going to make one I’m making three classic New York sandwiches and I know I say sandwich a little weird that’s just how I say it but let’s really do it though the type of Deli I’m speaking about specifically when I come to deli sandwiches is the corner store in New York City the bower for some it’s pretty much a staple of New York in my opinion every burrow got one you know what I’m saying even St Island y got one too the deli is so important to New Yorkers like it is literally the first thing you wake up in the morning that’s the first stop you really might make get your you know what I’m saying your your your bed for the day which is your beverage your meal for the day real quick your your coffee you know what I’m saying you know the guy who owns the whole Del that’s like your best friend when when you’re mad when you’re stressed out he knows trust me he knows we got a nice cut he also knows this the morning time so I don’t want to do too much so the first sandwich I’mma make is a honey turkey with everything on it on the raw let’s do it [Music] this is crazy I feel like this is too small and it’s just nah you know what I’m saying take me back to the trenches know what I mean this is what we going to work with this is what we want to use first thing first you got to cut it down the middle that’s what you do know what I mean lightly toasted don’t do too much give it like uh goddam uh 20 seconds Perfect all right now light mayo you always go light mayo got your butter knife no you know what I’m saying do what you do with it you don’t have to O if you you want to take some off you can if you want to take some some some of the mayor off you can okay let’s go so we used to fold them now I mean this is Honey Turkey by the way it’s basically it’s just turkey just with a little bit of glaze on it that’s kind of crazy glaz me glaz me one day I was working and everybody knows ham and cheese and stuff like that or turkey and cheese but she came in and said let me get a honey turkey in I said whoa what’s that and ever since then I’ve been doing honey turkey we got pepper jack cheese it’s basically cheese with a little spice on it know what I mean some people do the lettuce and tomato under the everything I do it above I’m not sure why I put the lettuce know what I mean and stuff like that when I’m on my grown man right this is what I get every time I feel like you know what today I want to be respected I want to be taken seriously I get a honey turkey with the pepper jack on it you know what I’m saying all everything word but if I’m playing around it’s a big n get cheese day G [Music] all right so I did my oil you know what I’m saying I did my tomatoes got to do some onions you know what I’m saying salt pepper you know what I mean real quick nothing too nothing too crazy though you close that right up mess it up there you go nice tuck it in like a tummy tuck real quick hold on down the middle and you don’t have to heat this one up it’s a Coke cut y’all so oh my God you so you have it you got the Honey Turkey pepper jack cheese lettuce tomato salt pepper vinegar let’s do it though all make the chips what my what type of chips I want today barbecue and look because I’m my grown man sh today I gave me a little water don’t do too much you know what I mean so with that being said honey turkey you know what I’m saying with the sandwich water and chips my next sandwich is going to be a chop cheese now you probably ask yourself who made the sandwich John monu 1762 how do I know that little known fact I am a sandwich connoisseur AIC experto you know what I mean what my dad so there’s three things you need to know when you going to any New York Deli and this is what certifies them as a great deli number one the manager it’s not a person it’s a cat have respect for the cat two the AC if there’s no AC in the deli the food is Ping how you going to eat from there come on it’s hot in there walk out number three the language barrier if you can barely understand the guy who’s making your sandwich you about to have the greatest sandwich of your life trust me all right all right and what I always say life is like a sandwich the bread always comes first so we got the butter I feel like butter always goes first I’m not a chef or nothing like that but I am a hood Chef so I have to consider myself somewhat of a chef but just on a block ah you hear that right okay so now we about to chop up the Cho cheese before the chop cheese become just know we about to chop up the meat all right it’s going to take a little minute I’m telling you let me just try with this one hold on so as I’m chopping the meat what I’m looking for is for the meat to look like it’s in bits right you’re not getting a burger this is not a burger you know what I’m saying you got to chop up the meat bro so the meat is chopped up and now it’s time to season your meat you know what I mean so some people use this I like red top adorable you feel me so we going get rid of that all right is it a certain amount you measuring no I eye everything bro so it may seem like a lot to some people that about to bust like bro usually I already watch my hands but I’m about to do some get no just do your thing just do your thing I wash my hands before before you start complaining the com oh my God bro so I like to like really get in there I feel like it just helps out with the like seasoning in my personal opinion and then I break a couple Co already facts but you my Del you know you can to eat [Music] that chopped cheese is basically chopped up hamburger meat right you know you got the cheese you put you don’t have to go American you can go pepper jack one a little bit of spice Kobe Jack that’s another one too lettuce uh Tomatoes salt pepper vinegar and I do like Mayo some people put ketchup on this too and if you really want to get crack you really want to get bigy you going do turkey Bon on it and it it just you keep adding on it you know what I’m saying but remember sometimes less is more that smell good right I ain’t going to lie all right chop cheese is only ground beef nothing else don’t get too creative with it let things be what they are y’all I understand you want to add your little sauce this stop it he like come on bro whoever gave Kei Lea a salmon chopped cheese sh I don’t know who hey that’s crazy you putting fish on a chop cheese don’t make no sense to me and I know you probably charging like $20 too you crazy son to toast the bread you got to toast your bread though bro even if it’s a little bit you got to toast the bread bro like this is actually perfect I got to get my Mayo going if you ever get too much you just take it off people always like like to make it feelit like oh my God that’s too much on my sandwich like bro just take it off and some of y’all real disrespectful with the with the deli man with the chef chill bro take it easy bro we going to go American cheese the square is like perfect for like the sandwich so you don’t really got to do too much like when you lay it D what you about to pick up is just the square of the cheese if that makes sense this the hardest part but it’s like the sexiest part though so you set it up come through L it there some people they double cheese it we’ll double it for today why not go little funky on them and stuff like that and just let it rest there for a little bit it’s looking good though I ain’t going to lie what up bro I’m about to do a little taste test oh God that looking good all you missing right now is the side of my chat music in the background that’s all you you miss it I’m [Music] telling damn it’s falling apart on Me Hold On Again what am I back I go a little bit of this got some lettuce down sometimes I definitely do onions sometimes I don’t today I will cuz why not I definitely do tomato I put two down every time it’s looking good though I ain’t going to lie it’s looking good though can you see this look good right oh I forgot yo chat yo Chad look now that wavy we vinegar and some ketchup too I thought was together on bro all right and the ketchup yep okay now that we finish the sandwich we need go get some chips and a bath you know what’s crazy so people don’t know Deli is short for delices which is like like something that’s like you should be doing like with care delic you know what I’m saying I don’t know if that’s true or not but my man told me that he used to work with me he told me that so wherever I go bro got to come through too let’s really do it come on damn you got the mango Arizona classic Legend OG this Mr Duke Den is put me on to this mod how you say this Martinelli yo Captain Atlanta word glaz them we got the sparkling water Saratoga you can do peria you can do whatever it don’t really matter but sparkling water I love sparkling water wavy it’s water but like not really but it is you know what I mean this some cider if I want to get on some classy it’s me ba Bronx bathtub candles smells incense know I mean today I’m going with the Ari so let’s go ahead and pack this up all right bro holl at you let’s really do it though I got my bath got my chips I got everything what else can I ask for come on it’s time to take that [Music] bite one [Music] more m they right [Music] here God damn son now we did right I charge full price for this no l go how much are you supposed to pay for Chop cheese so Cho cheese really supposed to be$ 450 maybe five cash bro but you know you got inflation and M going on I just see some wi it’s at $12.50 I’m never paying $1250 for a chop cheese like come on I’m done with the chop cheese let’s move on to the next sandwich so we about to make a bacon NE and cheese this could be a breakfast meal midday or dinner he’s like that versatile but this sandwich I’mma use the herob bread we put it to toast lightly well we keep it there cuz we don’t want to put it in right away but uh we do toast slightly just not right away cuz then it’ll just be bad some people do two or three or even four eggs I go two always but I mean today I want to get a little word so I’mma go [Music] three so I’m going need a bigger pen it’s not going to fit in it’s a hero not a ro man come on let’s do it all right how do you cook your eggs on medium or H like what’s it when the fire is on I don’t know bro I don’t check the I don’t know about F we about to add some salt and pepper once again everybody does it differently just how I do it I just the F way I just put the fork in here and do what I do it’s pretty much good all right so we about to cook the bacon this is turkey bacon by the way make sure everything good how many STP bacon you usually use I don’t even know I’ll probably do like or five of these hoes i a long why you use turkey bacon over uh beef bacon or pork bacon I don’t know either I think cuz I got a lot of Muslim friends and they always told me like when they like but was better to do turkey bacon and I did it but I still eat pork though I just when I I don’t know like it’s weird that’s just my thing all right bet it’s quick I told you it was quick bro all right so I’m about to go toast the bread now it’s dancing I got to go toast the Brad bro it’s that ass dancing all right God damn ass now hold on let me show y’ something bro me show yall something again this how we used to do this if you was never like a little ass kid doing this don’t try this at home though nice perfect damn bro it’s still dancing on bro went back flip bro I be going through with it like with bacon bro I be going through it bro damn you see what I’m talking about bro you see let’s do it I feel like I’m on a job than man wait wait wait where you put mayo on the on your on your yes SL Mayo bro stop it sit over there I’m over here wor once again it may look like it’s a lot it might not really be a lot all right so now we got to out the bacon there you go and now we going to put the eggs [Music] [Music] is it the goat New York sandwich it’s I feel like it’s the most known I think the chop cheese just kind of like came into like uh I guess Fame recently cuz everybody know it’s been it’s always been the bacon n and cheese like it’s always been the bacon n and cheese chop cheese just kind of came around the chop cheese is is a newborn the block man right so I’m about to try some I us we used to do hopefully I can finesse it the way I used to do it basically we would put the bacon in the middle right line it up real nice and and then we will hug them I’m over here try and see if it works like we will like oh it’s not it might not work I don’t think so but the idea is to hug it kind of like a mini omelet in a way it’s like hugged in there and then you will go lay the cheese down and let that let it do it thing for a little bit and then it’ll be like doing this thing and then it goes here so now we about to Plate it all right come on oh yeah that’s what I’m talking about son I usually cut this right here tuck it in real nice flip whatever and then I cut them in three I don’t like cutting it down the middle um that’s just my thing personally perfect there you go so I be getting so vinegar chips y’all be complaining too much about that’s nasty but I like those bro so all this how we do it you know what I mean damn hold on before I get into it you got to get your bath let me go get my my bad give me a say and I’m Sweating Bullets too damn oh I’m going to Mar lenes
