    How did I ever miss this in all my decades in Brooklyn? The sandwich shop in Bensonhurst was Lioni's, which has been my go to place for years, but now I gotta hit Defonte's. The steak pizzaiol' got me goin', and potatoes and eggs for breakfast brings back memories.

      As a born and bread (no pun intended) Bensonhurst kid, with a father who grew up in Redhook, Defontes is MILES ahead of Lioni’s. It’s untouched, it’s super well known and yet still hidden. It’s absolutely one of the best places on the east coast IMO.

      It's because he is a lot more niche than most food vloggers. He focusses on mom and pop restaurants in the Northeast primarily and he has a hip hop / singing / comedy / movie skit angle to his channel which is very specific. It caters to older people who grew up on 90s hip hop and rnb, movies etc and good local unknown restaurants. Very specific audience.

      Tiff, it’s like stew, but it’s with a tomato base as opposed to a beef broth type base. Steak Pizziola is a traditional Italian stewed beef usually cooked with plumb tomatos and onion for hours in its own juices to make that thin oily but savory juice/sauce they use. The cheese help to
      Make it a bit creamy. Shit slaps so hard. If us Brooklyn kids drive up for some cheesesteaks you guys need to drive down here for a steak Pizziola, get it with extra sauce and extra grated cheese. Trust.
