    Old Bay seasoning is from Maryland (see the bridge collapse for pictures). Its major flavor difference is that it has celery salt. Cajun spice is paprika, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt; equal volumes of each but double the salt and paprika. This is the recipe from Food Network for Emeril's essence. Saying "BAM!" every time you use it is optional.

    • @AndrewMiller2010
      @AndrewMiller2010 Месяц назад +10

      Was gonna say. Cajun is a different flavor profile to Old Bay. And Maryland is nowhere close to the Gulf Coast and Cajun/Creole Country.

    • @smerk85
      @smerk85 29 дней назад +3

      I think also Old Bay is super distinctive in American seasonings because it has cardamom the mix which is not commonly used in American cooking otherwise.

      @1995tlee 28 дней назад +13

      My heart skipped a beat when he said Old Bay was from the same region as the po boy. Here in New Orleans, we usually use Tony Chachere’s creole seasoning.
      Another thing - po boy bread isn’t usually too crunchy on the outside. A true po boy is made with Leidenheimer bread, which is a thicker baguette that almost has a flaky outside.
      Love the video, though!

    On the cheesesteak-- in addition to slicing thinner, it's always chopped up on the flat top so the pieces of beef individually are very small, and also you steam the bread on top of the meat before you pull it off!

    • @AzraelThanatos
      @AzraelThanatos Месяц назад +12

      Yep, that's the main thing with it, and the onions and beef tend to be mixed together before the cheese is added. Most places with a philly also use a seasoning mix that's a salt, pepper, and garlic powder
      I've come to prefer the more standardized cheesesteaks rather than the basic philly though, adding bell pepper, mushrooms, and either jalapeno or banana peppers (or both), with the lettuce, tomato, and mayo added...with the mayo on before the bun steams. Yes, it's basically what most of the mall cheesesteak places had and have, but I like the extra parts of it

    Aussie here, I made cheese steaks last night for my fiance and a mate. I did the 'texas trinity' jalapeno, onion and garlic. Sliced rump steak and motz with baguette chunks. Cooked in the pan, portioned in the pan, added cheese, picked it up with the bread and may have added some cumin, oregano, salt worked out very well. Pro tip, wrap in foil for about 2 minutes to steam and soften
    EDIT: Made the rueben heaps of times, corned beef is so fun with choosing aromatics, juniper, bay, clove, orange, dill. Also I love using kimchi.. Fuck yeah

    Used to be a full time sandwich maker at an italian american deli and I just gotta say I appreciate that you mentioned wrapping sandwiches in paper. It's more important to the structural integrity than someone might think! Especially if you let the sub STAY wrapped for like 10 minutes or whatever. Gives the bread a chance to kinda rest in the proper shape it needs to be.
    Also the way you slice the bread with your hand right there on the other side is what I used to do until my boss (when I was new) freaked out and worried I'd slice my palm open. Maybe if one is experienced they wouldn't have to worry too much lol

    I used to live above Jim's Steaks in South Philly, a place many locals swear by as the best steak joint in the city. The meat they use comes in big frozen blocks that they thaw out on the griddle while frying it, so these places do not do their own meat slicing. An amusing tidbit is that the local bakery that makes the bread for steaks would just dump big bags of rolls in clear plastic bags on the sidewalk in front of each restaurant at 5 AM, relying on the fact that that's too early for mischief-makers to cause any trouble. Which was not always the case: one time I was walking home early in the morning to find that somebody had opened up one of these bags and tucked a roll under the windshield wiper of every car parked on South Street.

      I don't think that Jim's is the best but they certainly don't get enough respect, and you're right, I don't know of ANY steak shop that's not buying frozen pre-shaved beef (who has time for that work?). As for the rolls, we gave our delivery guy a key so that he can drop them inside.

    • @pabloc8808
      @pabloc8808 Месяц назад +2

      I thought the bit about the delivery guy(s) dropping off the bread on the sidewalk was gonna end with "yeah one time I saw a guy straight up stealing the bread" but putting the rolls under the wipers was so much better. Guy was in it for the chaos, not for profit

      Philly native here, and I agree, American seems to be the cheese of choice with wiz being second and Provolone third. That's not my opinion, just what I've seen over 50 years although wiz was more popular in the 70's and very early 80's. Also, the onions are diced, not sliced, and broken down (chopped) even more as they're pulled to be used ~ they usually just sit to the side in a big pile until needed.

    Love them all, Andy, but as a New Yorker the Rueben is my fave of the three. If you haven't already, you gotta try the Italian roast pork with Provolone and Broccoli Rabe, also from Philly.. That's tied with the Rueben and a classic Italian combo in my book, it's amazing!

      We can get Crocodile meat here, so I'd assume it's pretty similar. Not easy or cheap to get hold of though, which kind of disrespects the whole po' boy tradition. Seafood, particularly crustaceans (including lobsters) were traditionally poor people's food in the US. How the worm turns.

    Philly native here. Born and raised and still here. If you come visit don’t go to pats. They may be original but they’re a tourist trap. Angelos in south Philly, Cafe Carmela in the northeast are your best bets. And any respectable corner pizza shop makes a slammin cheesesteak. Andy did it justice here. Whiz wit (whiz cheese with onions) is the only way to eat it.

  • @adde9506
    @adde9506 Месяц назад +9

    THANK YOU, YOU SAINT, for putting provolone on your cheesesteak. Yes, we eat peppers on cheesesteaks in Philly, some people get them with mushrooms, my parents get mayo (which is nasty, don't do that), but fried onions is the standard. Your onions looked a bit undercooked, but I sometimes get raw, so that's totally cool, too. Most cheesesteaks are made with Minute Steak, which is a terrible cut of meat cut ridiculously thin so you don't notice the gristle. It's not a specialty product by any means, but I've never seen it in stores; you picked a much better replacement than most people. Don't got to Pat's, or Gino's. Just ask someone one the street where to get a cheesesteak, they sell them at every pizza place (which is also where you get hoagies) and it's only a couple blocks to something much better. And yes, there are such things as a pizza steak and a cheesesteak hoagie. How could there not be?
    Edit: I forgot. Cheesesteaks are always cut in half. Usually right through the deli paper and then rolled in sandwich paper. Why did you think they weren't?

It's called the Rifka; hot thin-slice turkey, topped with grilled mushrooms & onions, barbecue sauce, melted Swiss cheese, and served on a Kaiser roll. It's especially good if you swap out the Swiss for Muenster or Gruyere. Be sure to wrap this one, it gets messy.
