Dude... It was a pleasure chopping it up with you (literally). Kind of crazy. I've been watching your channel for 5+ years... it's odd seeing my face next to yours. You're the man. PHC/Brothers Green (IYKYK) 4 Evaaaa!
This was the collab we needed
heck yeah dude. lmk how it goes.@@brentsmith7013
This is the true Chicago beef. But 90percent of us get mozzarella or some sort of cheese. You did Chicago original but over time we have added the cheese. He updated the Philly and you didn’t. Don’t know what’s or who’s right. Love them both but the Chicago with cheese would have represented me and most at this point.
@@billdevlin2646 join the other 10% - an Italian beef is perfect without cheese! Just dip it in extra gravy next tim!
What was the meat slicer you used? I have tried some of them and most home slicers are terrible. That one looked to work well. I have to make both of these.
First both sandwiches looked amazing. Second, how did you guys not take the next logical step? Figuring out what you liked most about each and combining the best of both into the new glorious champion of thin sliced beef sandwiches?
Right?! I would have at least dipped the philly in the jus!
my fiance does that at a local spot we frequent. Chicago beef with the peppers, onions, and cheese from the philly. It's excellent
I usually order cheese fries with my Italian beef so I can poor half the cheese cup on it
I always get my beefs (we just call Italian beef sandwiches "beefs") with grilled onions. Definitely non-standard but amazing. A Philly dipped (or "wet") is a great idea!
As I watched this, i literally thought about how I would combine the best of both sandwiches! These are are the two best meat forward sandwiches there are
I would take the Philly and replace the meat with the Italian beef meat and some of the gravy poured on it. Or the preheat to look at it is take the Italian beef and replace all the toppings with the Philly toppings (grilled onions, hoagie spread, cheese).
Really happy to hear you've seen Charlie's videos and have talked to him and decided to use his recipe! Dude is out there putting in a borderline neurotic amount of time and effort in to his experimentation and you love to see it. Reminds me a lot of Kenji's work on Food Lab tbh.
Currently live in Chicagoland but also lived 4 years near Philly. Love both sandwiches (and city) immensely. If I were to pick a #1 beef sandwich, it would be the Italian beef because it is so beefy and tasty on it own. The cheesesteak gets an assist from the cheese and I know that cheese on anything is wonderful. That said, I will eat either with pleasure.
That cheesesteak looked incredible as Mike flipped it over from the pan
What a sick collab. BEEF FOR LIFE.
Just made a NYC chopped beef for my babe tonight. Lived in Philly for six years, from Boston. There is a place in my heart for everyone. In Boston, it's a steak, cheese, mushroom. Philly it's whiz, bun, steak.
My mouth was watering like crazy when you guys started the taste test! 🤤
Big Beef Hot plus Mozz. Fry with Cheese, cake shake. Nothing beats that for me.
Been using that exact cherry pepper relish on my salmon salad wraps forever. It's great on everything.
Love the channel as always.
Woah, not the crossover I was expecting to wake up to.
I loved the vibe! I hope there are more videos 🌺
Thanks for sharing all your sandwiches , Beef recipes
AWESOME!!!!! You got Adam in the kitchen with ya. We’re from Chicago land, we know beef.
😎👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks guys, they both looked, and I'm sure tasted just as delicious! I'm now hungry! Thanks for sharing! 🙂🙂😋😋❤❤
Amazing video concept involving two incredible sandwiches.
Native Chicagoan- the beauty of the Italian beef sandwich is the goo. I think y’all messed up by just dipping the finished sandwich in the jus. I think the best part is when they dip the entire Italian beef sandwich in its big vat of juices, baptizing it. Once it’s wrapped up and sits for minute or two it turns into something else which I think captures the real essence of the Italian beef. Wrapping the sandwich after dipping in the hot jus creates a bit of steam so the contents of the sandwich turn into this amazingly gooey, rich, beefy experience. With the vinegar packed spicy giard added it’s just insane. Some giardeniara companies or sandwich spots add green olives to their giard too and it’s so good.
This was a fun video. Huge Philly cheesesteak fan here, but that Italian beef - wow! I'm going to try to make it!
I haven’t watched yet but this is the most important research. My bet is they are both amazing and equally perfect. I’m from Chicago but family from Philly
Oh my gosh this looks OUTSTANDING. Off to the grocery store
I *loved* this video. Thanks Mike and Adam! I'll be making one of these sandwiches soon. Guess which one. Thanks!
Those sandwiches look amazing! I really need to get into the bread baking game. It seems like it levels up most of your dishes.
I would have both sandwiches any day! They look amazing! Great job! Both winners!
Agreed !! Yum 😋
THANK YOU for *not* putting whiz on the steak! Mass media has done a huge disservice to our lovely cheesesteak! Born/raised in Philly and *never* saw whiz on a steak (in Philly) till the late 80s when it started appearing on TV shows that way and the 2 places in South Philly started pandering to tourists. NOT a real Philly thing!
Your videos always make me hungry.
Love Adam!! His channel just keeps getting better!!
aww thanks dude!
Philadelphia resident here of 3 decades...I don't think I've ever seen a seeded roll on a cheesesteak, nor have I seen anyone put Hoagie Spread on a cheesesteak. I'm sure it happens for both, but I've never seen it. Both of those are very common with Hoagies, though.
John’s roast pork on Snyder has sesame seed rolls for their steaks
I wonder if the way you are cutting the meat on the slicer makes a difference... I am from Spain and I assure you any butcher or cook here would have placed the meat with the short face towards the slider. I know for a fact that brazilians cut their meats different to us and they say that most of the distinct flavor is because of that.
I would also have seared the garlic and spices altoghether with the meat when browning, they release more flavor than just dropping them in the sauce.
The sandwiches look delicious.
YUM! Happy holidays!
Los dos sandwiches son geniales. Aplausos para los dos 👏👏👏👏😍 Gracias por los detalles 🙌
My kingdom for that meat slicer! (Good video guys ! I plan on trying Josh Weissman's Italian Beef recipe soon and it'll be fun to compare it with these tweaks : )
Wow, these sandwich’s look amazing! 😊
This weirdly reminded me of old brothers green videos haha. Loved the colab!
loved it!
They look delicious. If you ever come to Australia you should try out national meat sandwich, a bunnings sausage sizzle 😂
I want both of em!!! Those sandwiches look fire 🔥
Sorry. Cheese every time baby! LOVED the sear it with the roll on top, then flip it for the sear on top. Mmmmmmm… salivating. The onions are REQUIRED. Loved you mixed them in.
Both of those looked 11/10 you both should be very proud of how great you are at cooking.
Ground chuck. Course ground. Smashed into a patty. Grilled on open flame. Placed on a plain bun. Add a pickle and a squirt of ketchup and mustard. Done.
A plane bun? 😢
Should be PLAIN bun. 😂
@@majoroldladyakamom6948you're correct.
I love these type of sandwiches from the shops in Chicago, I can smell it now. We now live in the sticks, so I make sandwiches like this from our own beef cooked at home. It may not be authentic but it is also a good way to use leftover beef (but nothing beats the real thing) or make fresh. I think it is time to get beef out of the freezer to make these for dinner tonight, easy to do with such basic but good ingredients that we keep on hand all the time.
A good ol' sandwich just NEVER gets old!
What was that pot you baked your long rolls in and where can I get one?
Awesome dough hook on the stand mixer! What brand is the dough hook, please.
Great collab! 🎉
I’ve never had a Chicago chopped sandwich and was (oddly) taken aback there was no onion: I’d love to try it, but can’t see myself resisting caramelizing onions to chuck in the jus with the sliced meat….Lived near Philly for a few years (Pat’s all the way) and can’t WAIT for my range with griddle to get hooked up. There will be cheesesteak parties. I really enjoyed watching this- thanks!
Awesome video.
Love your content 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Something you should try for the italian beef is to put your meat in a hot pan, and then use the au jus to deglaze the pan. It quickly evaporates and sticks to the meat. This also works for the philly steak since the flavor profiles work well together.
This video rocks. So geographically correct but perfect for someone wanting to make these at home
"For the sake of the video keep it dry"
For the sake of the video YOU DIP THAT THING
No one in chicago eats it dry lol
My choice would be half of both. I love both and like variety. Well done by both of you. See you on the next upload.
Great video mike !
Dam you both, I'm sooo hungry. Awesome video now I've got to make both, but with a Texas twist, on my smoker 😮
Miss the brothers green, two legends cooking cheap, easy, and fun :(
Guys, absolutely wonderful! I've already duplicated both versions to a tee, and there is no king, they're both the picks I will use when feeding the people. They're just something great for everyone and they get the conversations going. Philly or Chicago? Are you willing to stand up (or battle) for your favorite?
Two great channels
Enjoyed this video had both from there cities. Prefer a wet Italian beef could you all compare a New York chopped cheese next?
I would call this the semi-finals. In the finals the winner of this competition would go against the roast beef po-boy from Parkway in New Orleans.
Both look delicious
I’ve eaten Italian beefs Monday through Friday this week. No one in the house likes it as much as me. I have to run to the store in a few hours for another roast and I’m out of bread. I’m gonna try Kaiser rolls because they’re on sale. I have so much gravy to use up! I’ll add cheese and mix the 2🤘🏼
This. T H I S. Didn’t know I needed this combo.
Gotta do the Threeway
The Northshore Beef in MA
Tender roast beef with James River BBQ, Mayo, & Cheese.
Do you have a video that covers just homemade drinks? I’d love to see the way you make your matcha and coffees please! Matcha definitively seems like something I can’t get right.
Both look amazing. Italian Beef is the best sandwich ever.
Never had italian beef before but as a huge fan of a philly cheesesteak it looks just as good! Honestly my dream might actually be the italian beef style meat but then provolone cheese and giardiniera. Probably a cardinal sin to mix the two, but still.
Great vid! I want them both. anytime.
Fantastic video and collaboration!
I’m in the market for a good meat slicer. Could you please tell me the make and model of meat slicer you bought?
I'm a cheesesteak connoisseur but I had a French Dip sandwich on toasted sourdough the other night and it was amazing....at a bar named O'Rorke's in Gettysburg. Nice Irish pub vibe there
French dip , not actually French , very much American , solid contender in this competition
I have to say Italian beef not just because im a chicago native but because it has more balance with the giardiniera. A philly cheesesteak is just meat and cheese.
Would love your recco for a meat slicer!
As a Chicagoan, I always get my Italian Beef with grilled onions and cheese. I know this is not traditional, but it makes the taste that much better.
This was fun 😀
If you visit New Orleans, you'd find a third contender: the Creole Pot Roast po-boy sandwich.
The prime rib roll at Jolene's Market in Honolulu is the best beef sandwich (I order a side of mozzarella sticks to stuff inside it).
You make me want primos along with Philly Cheese now
They're both Amazing and unique, ya can't compare both of them as they are uniquely different. The Cheesesteak is missing cheese whiz or provolone.. somehow the American cheese seems wrong.
I'm 60 years old, born/raised in Philly. I *never* heard of whiz on a cheesesteak IN PHILLY till the late 80s and started seeing it on tv shows. Whiz on fries not on steaks
I want them both!
Dudes, You cannot pick between the two. They are both awesome sandwiches.
White American deli chz on the philly please. Yellow just not the same. Both sandwiches look killer though! Thanks for the vids!
How do you clean the deli slicer without hurting yourself?
They're both nice, but if y'all want to experience heaven, you should make Mandy Lee's Miso-Stewed Beef French Dip Sandwich on Food52. She used short ribs and cut the meat with scissors just like Mike. But she toasted both kinds of bread - baguette and ciabatta - with generous amounts of melted butter on both sides of the bread. Then she put slices of provolone on both sides, on the inside, and melted them perfectly before piling the meat on. Her dipping sauce is the miso broth that she braised the meat in, defatted - although she used about 1-1/2 T. of the fat to mix into the meat. After dipping the sandwich into the broth, she literally slurped each bite down.
Seriously, Mike, you should try some of her insane fusion recipes. Her cookbook is The Art of Escapism Cooking. The Mushroom Sauce is effing amazing!
P.S. The 15-second Scrambled Eggs live up to the name, but use potato starch. And definitely serve them with the Mushroom Cream.
These are are the two best meat forward sandwiches there are
I would take the Philly and replace the meat with the Italian beef meat and some of the gravy poured on it. Or the preheat to look at it is take the Italian beef and replace all the toppings with the Philly toppings (grilled onions, hoagie spread, cheese).
Can I get a link to that slicer?
This is amazing - you cats play off of each other well.
I’ve only ever had a Cheese Steak in Philadelphia. Never had one that I preferred to a Chicago Italian Beef.
Maybe I need to try a Philly Cheese Steak in Chicago?
What meat slicer do you have?
Having had lived in Philly and now Chicago, it's hard to decide which is better. I lean more towards the Philly.
i thought the answer would be obvious , America #1 beef sandwich is NY pastrami on rye bread and mustard sandwich served with a giant pickle and some coleslaw on the side
"Any sandwich is gonna be better with caramelized onions."
*Suspiciously eyes his PB&J&Onion Sandwich*
Instead of a PB&J&O if you made a PB&OJ sandwich I bet it would be good. Maybe Stonewall Maple Bacon Onion Jam?
"No seeds, plain Jane, that's how we do it in Chicago" bro what?? People in Chicago even seed their hot dog buns lma
S’GO Adam!!
They both look delicious but I'm gonna have to go with the philly cheesesteak! Cheese + caramelized onions for the win!
What brand is the meat slicer??
❤❤❤
Hot Beef baby! But I love vinegar. And JUICE
Cheese Steak is also a fav w Provolone onions peppers mushrooms and something hot.
I like both just as much. As long as its not dry 😂
Ironically to this video, in a beef challenge it’s actually the Chicago hot dog that wins.
I'm so hungry now 😂
I know what I want for Christmas this year. You guys come to my house and make sandwiches.
I can see the NOLA roast beef po-boy hanging tough with this pair of sandwiches
