That owner is so humble. Even though he's the owner of a basically famous restaurant, he corrected Dave and said it's his dad's name on the sign. Such a wholesome dude.
Well he’s certainly not gonna stand there being a dick on the show, he wants publicity. But def very nice makin Dave dif ones since he don’t kno anything bout cheese steaks
Heard the emotion in his voice talking about being a working mans place. And showing the plaques. This guy is an absolute beauty. If I'm ever near philly this is where I'll be going. What a genuine guy
When you do, forget Dave's anti-roast pork shit. It's the best sandwich in Philly. But he's right that they also make one of the best cheesesteaks, too (Cafe Carmela is the top though if you're willing to drive out)
This video shows once again what i like the most about Pres - he treats everyone the same way. From Trump, famous athletes and movie stars, to working class people, and even 4 homeless guys on a bench. He never talks.down to anyone, always gives everyone a chance to say their opinion or tell a story. Yes, hes a Boston douche in lady clothes, and we all like to joke about him doing coke, but he also seems like an actually decent person.
Difference when you come from the mud and when u come from money. Humility is important when you’re self made, and I don’t even follow barstool (except when they’re in my city) but knowing his story his come up was all work. I agree tho, Dave seems genuine among other shit lol
Respect to Dave for making a 18 minute video. This guy was giddy about an article that helped him out. I'm sure this review will get him a lot more customers. Gotta respect a family man who takes pride in his work.
John is one of the nicest, most humble guys there is. Gentleman. My Dad took me there as a little boy. Now, I’m 63 and still going. Best pork sandwich and cheesesteak in the city. God bless you John. We love ya!
John: truly cares about his food and customers, always trying to do better, humble, all adds up to one of the most likable people on One Bite reviews. Can’t be any more likable. Then he shows you his puppy. Deserves all the best coming his way!
My favorite videos with Dave is when he connects with the business owner. I find the best reviews he gives, are the folks that put their blood sweat and tears into the food. The backstories are always the best. And I love that I live in the pizza Capitol of the world
This is the most humble person that has ever been on these reviews! As a fellow Philadelphian I can state, with confidence, that this guy makes the rest of us look good.
@@beaucephus526 That was because of lebron being a partial owner though. Blaze is actually okay, dare I say good if you get the spicy marinara, and its always fresh and you can get a whole pie (essentially one persons worth) for $5-$8 so not very expensive.
Dave, I realize you can't read all the comments, but...this video is gold. You're telling the story and making this about community, family, and local history. Do this more. I'll take one of these a week over one of the wham, bam, 6.2 ma'am reviews every day. Please. Love this.
@@b1k2q34 yep...I don’t prefer the seeded roll at all. that’s the one thing I really don’t like about John’s (though it won’t keep me from going there).
Great job David bringing this gentleman's life story to everyone! What a wonderful, kind and sincere man John is. Thank you for showcasing this institution.
classic episode! John is a throwback and the type of small biz owner that made America Great! I am sure Dave already has the plaque on the way to put on that wall!
What a great episode, Dave. You are truly a man of the people and you bring out the back story to everyone’s business , like no one else can. The man on the street loves and respects you, and we love what you for what your do for these mom and pop businesses. God bless you
Thanks Dave for taking the time, this place is the absolute best!! My brother in law lived in Philly for a decade and for a couple years only a few blocks from this place. I’ve had over 20 of the locals “you got to try” cheese steaks and I gotta say, hands down John’s is tops!! We live in Ohio BUT if we are within 50 miles, it’s a guarantee,no time…. we make, it’s not a question.
Not a barstool guy but as a philly transplant John's is the best cheesesteak I've had, and the roast pork is up there (if that's your cup of tea; my friend thinks it's the best sandwich). This amount of care and love makes me even more committed to my opinion. Cheers to Portnoy on his patience and fair shake.
The owner comes off like a good down to earth humble hard working american guy. You gotta love his passion for his family heritage and his business. Hopefully he has a good long successful life.
I had the chance to meet John when I went to philly, and he’s a great guy. Could tell I was a tourist, and he helped me out big time when I visited his restaurant. Didn’t have have another steak that was even comparable to his.
That guy is awesome! All he wants to do is make people happy with his food. Love it! TRUE food/restaurant people are the best. Dave too, so down to earth, really enjoyed seeing this.
Started out thinking he was going to dump on the place for making it difficult to order but John was such a genuine guy who really cares about his craft and how people enjoy his food. What a great guy and great review
I gotta say if you're not getting the Roast pork w/ spinach & sharp provolone I'm not sure what you're doing, they're better than the cheesesteaks without question!
Out of all the Philly cheese steak places, John's is my favorite! Next time I have to get the pork with the mus/onions. I will also switch to American on the steak! 😂😂 Thanks for the great review!!
The cheesesteak and roast pork sandwich is hands down two of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Can’t wait to eat this Saturday before the Phillies game.
I was just there. I don't think I will ever go to Philly and not stop there ever again. Got the Pork and the Cheese Steak. Loved both of them. Very easy place to get to also and plenty of parking nearby with a shopping center across the street.
Went there today and there was a table of guys crushing yuenglings with their sandwiches. A true working mans spot lol. Great to see it getting the recognition it deserves, dalessandros and all those spots are so overrated compared to Johns
One of the best One Bite videos of all time, everyone knows these blue collar food spots are are sadly disappearing all over the country. God bless John and his family 🇺🇸
John is spot on. In my family it’s always been American, grilled/fried onion and that’s it. If you want, add ketchup for a little tang and acid to cut thru the fat. Meat should be shaved ribeye seasoned with salt and pepper. And he’s spot on about American, there’s something special about good white American cheese in terms of flavor and melt that makes a cheesesteak a cheesesteak in my opinion. Def recommend you check out Leo’s as well. Another family run, award winning place with great steaks. I don’t think they even offer the cheese whiz shite!
I’ve never ordered wiz on my cheesesteak. As a little girl I always loved getting a pizza steak. Sooo good. That’s with marina, provolone or mozzarella, peppers and onions. (For those who have no idea wtf I’m talking about) My parents overnight me hoagies on occasion. Best parents in the world. Philadelphia LOVE ❤️ 🇺🇸
Being from the Philly area you don’t realize how many Americans have actually only eaten a few cheese steaks their entire life.. 🤯🤯 Edit: American is definitely the way to go.. extra American if you like your cheese

Say what you want about Dave; he's honest and appreciates honesty and passion. This was a great episode. Thank you and well done El Presidente.
It was good to see this side of Dave! He’s usually such a clumsy kook 😆
@@scottmcwave9479 BUT THE 4.4 ON THE PORK???
He lied and got a free sandwich out of a hard working American. Dave is no hero. Biden will put an end to this kind of malarkey.
I agree totally
@@RT804 Biden orders ketchup on his hot dogs
That owner is so humble. Even though he's the owner of a basically famous restaurant, he corrected Dave and said it's his dad's name on the sign. Such a wholesome dude.
Probably my favourite owner of all time! 'I was handsome... What the hell happened!' 🤣🤣🤣
That owner has to be the nicest person in Philly
don't believe all ya heard. Philly has some awesome people just like John.
@@mattmuch1 what about what i saw sherlock
He's the ONLY nice person in Philly LOL
Well he’s certainly not gonna stand there being a dick on the show, he wants publicity. But def very nice makin Dave dif ones since he don’t kno anything bout cheese steaks
@@brandonlapine5174 every owner on here hasn't been cool or nice.

You nailed it. His legitimacy makes the channel compelling.
Those pants. Ball chokers.
He is a legend, decent guy.
Respect to Dave for making a 18 minute video.
This guy was giddy about an article that helped him out.
I'm sure this review will get him a lot more customers.
Gotta respect a family man who takes pride in his work.
18 minutes, everyone knows this is a instant classic
Nothing to write home about
these interviews are awesome
I was only gonna watch like three minutes of it but the owner made me stay
@@johnc2645 have you ever left home?
10 minutes in and I didn’t even realize how long this is from how enthralled I was
John is one of the nicest, most humble guys there is. Gentleman. My Dad took me there as a little boy. Now, I’m 63 and still going. Best pork sandwich and cheesesteak in the city. God bless you John. We love ya!
This guy is a legend. What an amazing story. Love that Dave took the time to hear the history of the place
The owner is such a humble and real guy that I felt I was related to him and was part of his family. What a class act!
The Philly experience at its best.
Meet the Family. Hear the story.
Make some Friends
Philly isn’t always fighting.
Preach!
some of the best people i know are middle aged italian guys
You forgot the puppy lol
Philly is a dump.
It's the city of brotherly love, not fighting.
John: truly cares about his food and customers, always trying to do better, humble, all adds up to one of the most likable people on One Bite reviews. Can’t be any more likable.
Then he shows you his puppy.
Deserves all the best coming his way!
Most profound review you've ever done, and I hope johns business is a huge success, I almost want a part 2
Dont worry for john. He is super busy
Very.
John’s roast pork is always busy.
"James Beard Award Winner"
thats like the Oscars of food awards right there :D
“I hope johns business is a huge success”
Wtf? Did you even watch the entire video?
My favorite videos with Dave is when he connects with the business owner. I find the best reviews he gives, are the folks that put their blood sweat and tears into the food. The backstories are always the best. And I love that I live in the pizza Capitol of the world
I love this guy. What a wholesome ass dude. He's so humble and down to Earth. Everyone in Philly needs to go there. I'll hit it up whenever I visit.
This is the most humble person that has ever been on these reviews! As a fellow Philadelphian I can state, with confidence, that this guy makes the rest of us look good.
That roast pork was the first time he actually followed "one bite." Lol
Nah he did one bite on blaze pizza then gave it a zero and threw it on the ground
should be top comment
@@beaucephus526 That was because of lebron being a partial owner though. Blaze is actually okay, dare I say good if you get the spicy marinara, and its always fresh and you can get a whole pie (essentially one persons worth) for $5-$8 so not very expensive.

Please. Love this.
Pres - "I don't like whiz. I'm going with the provolone."
Also Pres 2 hours earlier - "Three cheese steaks with onions and American cheese."
As many others have stated better than me, this was an instant classic, one of the all time greats. Do you regret your picky-picky review?
As a lifelong Philly guy I'm proud of the way John represented us. Great guy and the pound for pound cheesesteak king 👑
You should see it before covid..Finally he hit a great spot..Best breakfast sandwich also, hot Italian sausage egg n cheese on a seeded roll
that description of the breakfast sandwich legit got me hungry as fuck
Peppers and egg, yo...
Slammin I get the same thing there, unseeded roll tho
Definitely better with an unseeded roll.
@@b1k2q34 yep...I don’t prefer the seeded roll at all. that’s the one thing I really don’t like about John’s (though it won’t keep me from going there).

I just love how Davey gives these guys some time to talk and show their restaurants. That’s respect. 👍🏻💪🏻
Honestly, this is the content I come here for. These behind the scenes conversations are so genuine. I can't get enough. Nice work Prez!
One 18 minute episode... let’s swarm this place, everybody knows the rules
💯
One unexpected tour, everyone knows we wish John the best.
SOMEONE PROTECT THIS OWNER AT ALL COSTS! He’s such a humble real guy and I love it!
Women need to bear this man's children to make this a better world.
So funny how dave has a half eaten cheesesteak in his hands the entire time.
Exactly what I was thinking. Even petting the doggie at the end he's holding that sucker.
Lmaooo
Lmfaooo
Hahaha
This is pure passion. He’s the type of dude everyone likes to have around.
“I’m going with the provolone.”
Asked for American cheese on the phone..
American is the way to go anyway
American is the gold medal provolone is like a toppings slice
@Nate Diaz Couldn't Beat a Rattata
2:23
He said 3 cheese steaks with fried onion an AMERICAN CHEESE.... An one roast pork....
both were made in america
One wholesome episode, everyone knows we need it.
John Jr. is amazing. I hope his place lasts another 100 yrs. Hang in there, John. Karma will give you good luck for a century.
200 years!
I love how they talk face to face unmasked the whole time but then go for the elbow bump at the end lmao!! Great review, what a guy!
One passionate business man, everyone knows that’s the American dream 🙌🏼
What a great episode, Dave. You are truly a man of the people and you bring out the back story to everyone’s business , like no one else can. The man on the street loves and respects you, and we love what you for what your do for these mom and pop businesses. God bless you
Buys four sandwiches! “Like a million of them”
That was the most heartwarming one bite, you know the rules, ever!
Bro. This guy deserves the best life has to offer.
Thanks Dave for taking the time, this place is the absolute best!! My brother in law lived in Philly for a decade and for a couple years only a few blocks from this place.

JRP is a consistent banger
My philly people know when u make that ikea trip, you gotta get a Johns steak. Salt pep, ketchup- if u felling frisky, hots on the side
This is why the people love Pres: hes crazy and cocky and loud, but also connects to the common man extremely well
I love how the owner picks up Dave’s sandwich with no gloves and hands it to him but gives him an elbow bump at the end like it matters 😆

Not enough views. This was such a good one. Shoutout to John. As genuine as genuine can be.
One long cheesesteak review everybody knows this video will probably be action packed
This is the best review you guys have ever done. The owner is super cool and Dave shows how good of a guy he is. Classy!!
I love that guy, he is so down to earth and loves what he does.
This was a super awesome review. The owner was so appreciative and Dave was as always a class act!!!
The owner of John’s is an American hero! An army of guys like him can get this country back on track!
The owner seems like a great dude! Dave was super cool with John , all around great video 👌🏻
All the other cheesesteak places in Philly are running out to buy a puppy.
That's funny!
Lol I don’t get it
The owner comes off like a good down to earth humble hard working american guy. You gotta love his passion for his family heritage and his business. Hopefully he has a good long successful life.
One hot dog, everybody knows Dave's pants ripped when he went to pet him
I had the chance to meet John when I went to philly, and he’s a great guy. Could tell I was a tourist, and he helped me out big time when I visited his restaurant. Didn’t have have another steak that was even comparable to his.
This is how all philly people are when you show them love or general respect!!!
That was a great interview Dave. Nice job!
Thank's for calling John's Roast Pork.
Gotta love Dave holding the sandwich in his hand for the entire tour 😆
Probably one of my favorite episodes! Owner was such a humble guy and Dave was genuinely interested in the whole story of the business.
That guy is awesome! All he wants to do is make people happy with his food. Love it! TRUE food/restaurant people are the best. Dave too, so down to earth, really enjoyed seeing this.
One hero's journey to get a Philly cheese steak, everyone loves the happy ending
Im from the northeast philly lived here my whole life and I think it's the best ,and Dave is the man showing love
That owner is the best!!! Treats me good every time I go!! I was there last year and he was like what’s up big guy
John the owner is a damn gem. Wish nothing but the best for his place.
Started out thinking he was going to dump on the place for making it difficult to order but John was such a genuine guy who really cares about his craft and how people enjoy his food. What a great guy and great review
Best cheesesteak in the city. It's a shame his mother wasn't there, she usually is. By far one of the nicest families in the city.
You've eaten a cheesesteak from there?
I gotta say if you're not getting the Roast pork w/ spinach & sharp provolone I'm not sure what you're doing, they're better than the cheesesteaks without question!
This is the best backstory on any review, this is good heartfelt content
I'll take John's over Tony Luke's, Pat's, Geno's, and Jim's any day of the week. They're not even close.
Right On! 👍🏼 This was one of the best One Bite episodes yet! I’m sorry Franky wasn’t there!!
I loved the story at the end. I know where I’m going to lunch tomorrow. You should check out Phillips cheesesteak too!
Such a genuine guy. We need more people like John
Grew up eating their cheesesteaks, the best. I remember his dad would get mad at me taking too long to order😀
I'm in Philly right now and looking for a cheesesteak spot to grab one for lunch.. this my go to place?
Out of all the Philly cheese steak places, John's is my favorite! Next time I have to get the pork with the mus/onions. I will also switch to American on the steak! 😂😂 Thanks for the great review!!
One extremely genuine and hardworking Owner, everybody knows the rules
The cheesesteak and roast pork sandwich is hands down two of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Can’t wait to eat this Saturday before the Phillies game.
Dave is the type of guy to close the refrigerator door with his hip.
I laughed way too hard at this!
What's wrong with that??
Bahahahahah!!!! Probably like........boop.
I was just there. I don't think I will ever go to Philly and not stop there ever again. Got the Pork and the Cheese Steak. Loved both of them. Very easy place to get to also and plenty of parking nearby with a shopping center across the street.
Dave, you need to get a folding Barstool chair so you can sit and enjoy the meal. What's the rush. Better for your digestion. Great video brother.
Love it when an owner/family member talks with Dave after...the fabric of our country!
That’s it right there !
More unites us than divides us.

"a rising tide...asdasfgfgb bafads ga CHEESESTEAK"
After watching this I wish all the success for this gentleman. His father must be proud looking down on him.
John's is the only place I get a cheesesteak.....a lot of good places but he is the best
That’s gotta be the coolest review ever Dave. That owner is so awesome, rare to see people love what they do these days.
As a Cowboys fan, whenever I was in Philly to watch them blow the division title with 5-6 wins on the season, I always go to johns.
You a lakers and Yankees fan too?

owner is a great guy!! Genuine
Went there today and there was a table of guys crushing yuenglings with their sandwiches. A true working mans spot lol.
Great to see it getting the recognition it deserves, dalessandros and all those spots are so overrated compared to Johns
One of the best One Bite videos of all time, everyone knows these blue collar food spots are are sadly disappearing all over the country. God bless John and his family 🇺🇸
One cheesesteak made outta love, everybody knows dave thinks debbie does too.
I love when Dave talks to the owners cus when you get ones like this you KNOW what places to support.
John is spot on. In my family it’s always been American, grilled/fried onion and that’s it. If you want, add ketchup for a little tang and acid to cut thru the fat. Meat should be shaved ribeye seasoned with salt and pepper. And he’s spot on about American, there’s something special about good white American cheese in terms of flavor and melt that makes a cheesesteak a cheesesteak in my opinion.
