Mama Jo is NYC's Official Grandmother of Breakfast | Street Food Icons
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 май 2024
- Mama Jo has been serving breakfast staples like bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches and omelets and traditional Greek pastries, such as spanakopita and baklava, from her food truck in Midtown Manhattan for over 35 years. She claims to be NYC’s oldest street food vendor and isn’t planning on retiring her legendary food cart any time soon.
Mama Jo’s breakfast menu is longer than some dine-in restaurants’ menus, and it’s all done without sacrificing quality. She gets her ingredients fresh every morning in Astoria, Queens, serves food with a smile, and genuinely cares about her customers, really earning the name Mama Jo.

I always prefer buying from the NYC food carts rather than starbucks or dunkin donuts. These food carts are run by such humble and passionate people. And their food is so delicious.
And taste good and doesn't cost alot
Facts bro gotta support the local people not the corporations !
And cheap
Fr fr, the common people will always support each other, cuz we have things in common. Money hungry GMO companies dont give a fuck about us. Unity my folks
Same. Support the local vendors, the food and experience is better too
“Today’s your birthday, don’t give me the 5 bucks, this one’s on me” - amazing hospitality!

It’s two-minute walk from my apartment to her cart and mama Jo is still going strong during these crazy times💪🏻 💪🏻
That's good to hear! I'm glad she's doing okay
Thanks for the update
So glad to hear that she's doing well
That's reassuring to hear. Thanks!
Good to know. Thanks ☺️
Holy cow, I’ve eaten off her cart several times, she’s always friendly and the food is always great!!! Nice to see it here .

As a Greek myself I could feel the vibes the moment she opened her mouth and started trimming Feta cheese on top of the omelette. Yep that’s a Greek babushka alright.

This is what our country needs more of, Such an Sweet woman 🤗🥰& an Beautiful Soul🙏Blessing&Love to Mama Jo.
I love watching these people who create a life for themselves through hard work , dedication ,and a sense of community .
Almost makes me wish to be living in that area . People like this lady , make a city , the city doesn't make them . They could set up anywhere ,and with their mindset they could be a success . But being a success is only part of the journey , it's being loved as well .
That's another element to why they are still thriving . You can shout all day long at people to get things done , but when you show appreciation for every osy around you , then people respect you for who you are .
I hope she's still working , thriving ,& enjoying the life she has created for herself . The moment she stops moving , will be a sad day for everybody . It's what she was born or to do .
Good word's my friend damn good word's
She gave me the best advice.
Don’t live in fear.
Do what you like
If you have a problem, leave it for tomorrow. Bc tomorrow you might not have that problem.
Thanks Mama Jo
Instructions unclear, I’ve been pushing my problems to tomorrow for 15 years
Tee Bo who hurt you?
Sarah Quinliven lmao fr
Tomorrow is not promised today so just leave it for tomorrow. Oh mama.
Definitely depends on the problem
I love her accent, Greek and old school New York
What an amazing strong, yet caring woman! Needless to say, the food business is a beast and as you saw, she sets up for the day in the wee hours of the morning! Also, in the summer that cart is a broiler and in the winter an ice box. If her children have half the drive and gumption she has, they will do very well in life. Kudos to her.
Beautiful to see a woman so happy to serve people and give them a reason to smile. Reminds me of my grandparents generation where I'm from.
I pray for nothing but peace and prosperity for her and hers.
I love stories like this, because it shows the whole "american dream" isn't dead, it's simply carried by the immigrants who come to america and carve a life out for themselves.

This series is awesome - you do a great job highlighting the amazing vendors in this city!
we got tons of them (new yorker also btw) don't own a cart tho but ate a many to respect off the rip
M4TT YN New Yorkers here too - we love highlighting great vendors on our channel
Life-long Texan here, but I've always wanted to visit NYC. Not only does it seem like a great city, but watching these type of videos and food vloggers that visit NY make me want to go even more! I'm sure people from NY have that stereotype of us Texans, that we're all "cowboys/western." Lol, but a lot of food videos that I've seen show that not all NYers are "rude," (like alot of Texans think) no offense. Greetings to all...
Exactly I love this channel
I LOVE this series!
This woman's dedication is phenomenal! Wakes up at 11:45 at night goes and does all her shopping in the wee hours of the morning and opening up shop around 4 am, that's called passion and dedication! Hats off to Mama Jo!!! ❤️
Mama Jo is really inspiring... Kudos to her for doing what she loves.

Damn, its so interesting how people in NY get to know eachother so well, even with the food workers. Food looks really good as always too, now im hungry dammit.
Same, I gotta go make myself a similar breakfast even though it’s not gonna be as good lol
Here you get to be friends with your breakfast person and your bartender.
If you go to the same place multiple times a week or every day, you'll get to know the people serving you. Humans are creatures of habit even in a big city like New York.
A big part of that is in NYC many of us get all our meals out. We have people we see for our coffee,breakfast, after work drink ...you get to know them, it's part of the movement of the city
DingBoinka Jenga Food brings the NYC together 🙌🏼
NYC can be such a lonely place because so many people come from everywhere else -away from their family and friends. but your bodega workers, your coffee people, your street food vendors, even your neighbors become part of your NYC family. We’re all looking out and just trying to get by. LOVE mama jo 🖤
Lovely comment and so true for every cosmopolitan city in the entire world.
@@seemarawal5717
Not true of all cities. Like in and around around Vancouver where I live I know enough to know that thats rare here. Granted I befriended a woman barista at a Seattle's Best Coffee that was part of a Mac's. However as far as I know I was the only person that befriended the barista at that location.
Of course there ll be exceptions ,i said something in general terms not on every cosmopolitan city.

Mama Joe is so chill and positive. We need more people like her in our life.
This is exactly how customer service should be anywhere. I was a server for 10 years and most of my now closest friends started off as my customers. People like authenticity over cookie cutter service most times.
If you want true authenticity, you’d tell customers how dumb they are. Unfortunately you can’t do that without losing your job. Can’t tell how many times I’ve wanted my tables to speak the fuck up so I can hear them. Or when they say they’re ready but they just say “oh! I get a side??? I have options? Honey what do you want for your side?”Then continue to argue with each other while I’m standing there like 👀”
Edit: forgot to add I’m in SW Florida where majority of my guest of old people. Good money but damn.
@@zzzarkka I dont think customer service is for you.
I have only two years of experience, but I learned that lesson pretty early on and from a customer, no less. When a customer came frequently enough, I'd learn their name and even be able to recognize their voice over the speaker, and I'd call them by name. Eventually, regulars for your company become regulars for you. I've had customers follow me to other stores so I could continue to serve them because they liked me. Customers like that have this magical ability to eclipse the otherwise shitty parts of the job and make it worth doing.
Lies again? Marine Soldier Great Food
I appreciate people like her, but 4 hours of sleep daily, is so unhealthy.
I never met Mama Jo but she's so lovable... I kinda feel like I know her. With such a sunny disposition and positive outlook on life, I can't help but like her. *A LOT!*

I started going to Mama Jo's breakfast cart on a daily basis after watching this video. Her food is soul-nourishing. My favorite is the olive bread, which is so savory. I also love the veggie omelet and home fries. Her Greek tiropitata and spanakopita are also delightful. I love Greek food, and I love Mama Jo.

You can be more qualified a better husband and save money so those things are less likely but they can still happen .The thing is we are so obsessed with having things the way we believe they're supposed to be instead of accepting and enjoying reality .
