I went to Welinsky’s in the early 90’s when I’d travel to Montréal to watch the Bruins and Habs play!! Best Bologna sandwiches I’ve ever had!! That thin buttered roll and savory salami with that nice mild sweet like bologna and cheese?!!! Best thing for your tastebuds!! Especially before a Hockey game!!!
@@Glostahdude Oh wow - I've been to Montreal over 10 times when I was younger and never went there - I'm kicking myself! I'm originally from Boston and now in NH so I think a trip is long overdue.
I grew up on bologna and I have always said if I ever open a food business, bologna is going on the Menu period. In the South that's considered a meal. It's phenomenal when you add mayo lettuce and tomato and it's gotta be cooked just right! Shouts out to this place for still serving this! ❤️🫶❤️🤤
Used to own a little butcher shop/deli. Treat the staff to lunch on Saturdays. One Saturday I was going to make fried bologna sandwiches. First response - - ew! ( they were all young ) " ever tried one? " NO. So I made them with cheddar and mustard of course. Ew turned to wow instantly. Like the idea of including salami, have to try that. I'm in British Columbia so might not get to your restaurant, but thanks for sharing.
I love a chef who's willing to let their food speak for itself instead of trying to appease the customer with every bell or whistle, there's something charming about it
I'm 72. I started cooking at nine. Making fried eggs (fried hard) with ketchup was my first cooking adventure. Then I added fried bologna later I added a dollop prepared BBQ sauce. That addition turned out to be the piece de resistance. Now in 50 years I switch between BBQ and ketchup.
It's added to my Google Must Visit list for my next trip to Montreal. I'm an American Southerner so I kinda thought I'd outgrown fried baloney (how we say it) from my youth, but that bread looks amazing to me. I love mustard. I'd like to try it. As a former chef/ bakery owner, the not cutting and customizing it is not only tradition, but it makes dollars sense. Every deviation slows service down and could mess with your margin. They don't have all the normal bells and whistles of a kitchen so it makes sense to not complicate it. It keeps their overhead down not having to buy to go silver, knives for cutting, etc... The soda syrup is probably extremely inexpensive in comparison to the food costs of the meat for the sandwich , so if they push the drinks, the profit margin is consistently high.
tbf Katz is only really famous because it is a tourist attraction and how the dining experience operates. it isn’t really a place anyone who lives locally goes to regularly and hasn’t been for a VERY long time. Many many other jewish delis in the city that are the essentially the same thing but way cheaper that a local would go to.
@@Fatblue246not only is Katz’s in a super touristy area and is practically only frequented by tourists, quite honestly the prices are not much different than any other reputable jewish deli in NYC. At a more local spot it’ll be $20-$25 instead of $30 at katz’s but you’re also in a residential area that isn’t in the heart of NYC so ofc it’s going to be cheaper. Idk it’s just kinda funny hearing you make it like the *other* Jewish deli’s in nyc are magically so much cheaper when in reality they ain’t. ..Also it’s cringe calling them jewish deli’s when they’re not even kosher 😬They’re NYC style deli’s, real jewish deli’s are kosher for obvious reasons and bc of that that a comparable sandwich that’s kosher could be even more.
I saw the special in the picture and drooled. Been there many times and will eat there until one of us is gone. Preferably me, wouldn't want to deprive anyone of that delicacy.
I don't know what it is now, or if they still do it, but when Moe was alive, and cranking out the Specials, they always charged 2 cents more for *no* mustard. The default was a Special with mustard, and Moe felt that when someone wanted no mustard on theirs, it would disturb his concentration - his "flow", if you will. So if a Special was 56 cents, it was 58 without mustard. If 71 cents, it was 73 without mustard. And if I'm not mistaken, the original used a wider array of coldcuts than just bologna and salami. I believe there was "mock chicken" loaf slices in there too. But established in a largely Jewish neighbourhood there was NEVER cheese. Not shown in the video - likely because the practice was discontinued - were big Coke glasses with cut sticks of "karnatzl" in them. Karnatzl is essentially Jewish pepperoni, except that it's beef and dried out to be chewier. Once your order was prepared, you'd tell them how many sticks of the stuff you had worked your way through while waiting, and it would be added on to your bill. And, of course, the walls were plastered with Wilensky grandchildren's artwork. My dad spent his young adulthood around the corner from Wilensky's, on St. Urbain, after he and his family escaped Poland in mid-1939. He took me there in the late-1960s or early 1970s, and told me that many of the pulp fiction paperbacks they had on the bookshelf when he was a young man were still there, decades later. I was told that when they shot "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz", Wilensky's had to be "modernized" a bit to look era-appropriate. It was not uncommon to see bigshots in $800 (at the time) Holt-Renfrew suits seated at the counter at lunchtime, with their attache cases by their feet. It was like salmon migrating to the place where they were hatched.
@@Buttermilkjug Thanks. Much appreciated. There's probably a few hundred thousand people who would have said the same thing, but I'm just the one who got around to it. I have to laugh, seeing the late Anthony Bourdain at that lunch counter. My wife and I were in Glasgow about 5 years back, and after spending much of the day at the University of Glasgow campus (used for many location shots on the show "Outlander"), we wandered down the hill and dined at the University Café on Byres Rd. No particular reason other than the sign indicated a long history. I think we were the only customers in the place at the time. Several years later, we're watching an episode of Bourdain's show where he visits what he says is his favorite city in all of Europe - Glasgow - and where is *he* stopping to eat? Why at the University Café! I guess we have/had similar tastes in "regular guy" eateries.
The flow is real. When you crank out thousands of the same thing and someone requests a change, you are just as likely to give them the regular because you are on auto-pilot. When in Montreal, go with the flow.
@freakyflow And whether you're looking for comfort food like a fried bologna sandwich or something fancy like high style French cuisine, Montreal is the place where you'll find it all.
I'm up here in Canada. I remember when my mother would buy bologna, it came in a heavy waxed covering. She made us all toasted fried bologna sandwiches. I'm talking in the 50' and 60s. Her Mother, who was French Acadian, fed her children the same thing.
Looks yummy, used to make my own fried Bologna Sandwiches. Bologna was the only kinda of lunch meat my mom would buy until I was over 10 years old. Other lunch meats were too expensive in our house.
When you go to Montreal , it isn't the same without getting a "speciale". Just order & take what you are given - no cutting , additions or deletions. It's always just been that way ! 👍
Exactly...it's good stoner food and priced conveniently but in the end it's fried bologna and salami and cheese... maybe the bun is what makes it ...who knows

My grandma was from Missouri. She had her children during the depression, which very much effected her frugality with food. She made fried bologna sandwiches (in a cast iron skillet w/ a little butter) which were simple but delicious. It is the ONLY way I like bologna.
@karlanorvell9573 In those days, my father grew up with 13 brothers and one sister, and they were all brought up with spam, Kraft dinner, and definitely fried bologna sandwiches, their very favorite.
I first visited Wilensky’s in 1988. I had a soda and a baloney sandwich. The soda was good and the sandwich… well, I never had a second. Thank god, Fairmount Bagel was just around the corner. If you wanna soak up excess stout at 4 a.m. nothing better than a dozen hot bagels.
@slammajamma5435 Well, too bad that your taste buds can appreciate a good bologna sandwich, but you're right about the bagels, Montreal's bagels are also the best! And specially Fairmount bagels!
WHEN IT COMES TO UNIQUE ICONIC FOODS, MONTREAL IS TOP -DOG. WILENSKY'S IS ONE OF THESE JUST AS POUTINE AND MONTREAL SMOKED MEAT ARE. NOT JUST AS BOLOGNA SANDWICH BUT WITH LOVE!!
That's the one thing about a bologna sandwich. You can eat a bologna sandwich, but once you fry that bologna, it's a whole new world. That's where the flavor is, it has to be fried.
@drbonesshow1 Well unfortunately bologna can't be labeled as poor people's food anymore as it was in the past. Have you seen the price for it lately? 🤣
New to the city and didn't know this place. Thanks to this video, we walked to Wilensky's today and tried the special sandwich. It was great! I also realized we'd actually been right next door to the Japanese arts & crafts store once before. Wish I knew Wilensky's then.
I've been eating fried bologna here in Texas for 55 years. Fried bologna, tomato, mustard. And fried bologna with eggs for breakfast. I have been a butcher for 35 years and as a kid I thought round steak had a red rind around it. 😂
Man, I love simple restaurants like this. They don't over complicate things. Just like the guy said "Don't mess with how you do things, if you don't like it GET THE HELL OUT" that should be preached everywhere in this world today.
The only place to get it...I guess making one yourself would be, unheard of. I'm 58 and have been making fried bologna combo sandwiches for a very long time.
Could be the quality of the food in general, not to mention the feeling of sharing something special with people, not to mentioned in house made bread. Why are you negative about out it. Geez, drink some milk, relax.
@jkaiser02 Hey, you won't regret it, not just for fried bologna sandwiches and the food in general, but you won't believe the beauty of Montreal. What other city in the world has a mountain in the middle of it? Just saying!
I love the sentiment of it only comes one way that’s it or get the f*** out. It really makes you feel like your ordering from some real bad asses and you should be grateful your even getting one. I love that whole f*** you pay me non personal big city feeling. A lot more businesses should be ran this way!
so what is the ratio of bologna to salami? Is that 3 or 4 slices of each? Surely its dead simple to make this at home, so long as you find some decent sandwich rolls like theirs.
@@roseanneroseannadanna9651 yes, the bread looks like slightly larger than usual english muffins. I never got a clear view of how many slices, and the ratio, but it won't hurt to experiment. It seemed like they didn't shoot any kitchen footage either.
I wish that they ACTUALLY explained their process instead of just going On and On... I wanna know about the bread, how long they cook the bologna and salami... how much salami to bologna ratio... I clicked on this video cause the food looked good but the vid was basically useless.... At least we have a rough idea of the ingredients.
@@FIREFOX274 yep. Noise rather than signal. They think they are clever with hipster tv show stars and all the rest, but this was just another empty shell of a video.I wont check the rest of their channel because i suspect its just hipster shit chasing the next fad.

I love the sentiment of it only comes one way that’s it or get the f*** out. It really makes you feel like your ordering from some real bad asses and you should be grateful your even getting one. I love that whole f*** you pay me non personal big city feeling. A lot more businesses should be ran this way!
Cheap eats with a cool story ❤
Do ya deliver 2 Fla. ???
If I ever get to Canada I'm going there..
you can make ur own special at home using lester beef salami & Gaspesien beef bologna
It’s old but not the oldest “restaurant “ in Montreal Schwartz smoked meat is canada old deli establishment in 1928
so what is the ratio of bologna to salami? Is that 3 or 4 slices of each? Surely its dead simple to make this at home, so long as you find some decent sandwich rolls like theirs.
They get theirs custom made but think of a plain lightly toasted English muffin for this and it will be close!
@@roseanneroseannadanna9651 yes, the bread looks like slightly larger than usual english muffins. I never got a clear view of how many slices, and the ratio, but it won't hurt to experiment. It seemed like they didn't shoot any kitchen footage either.
I wish that they ACTUALLY explained their process instead of just going On and On...
I wanna know about the bread, how long they cook the bologna and salami... how much salami to bologna ratio...
I clicked on this video cause the food looked good but the vid was basically useless.... At least we have a rough idea of the ingredients.
@@FIREFOX274 yep. Noise rather than signal. They think they are clever with hipster tv show stars and all the rest, but this was just another empty shell of a video.I wont check the rest of their channel because i suspect its just hipster shit chasing the next fad. Those people serving the food are doing honest work every day. These videomakers are offering nothing anywhere near the same value
I love it. I’m going for lunch!
Im from canada and I never heard of this WORLD FAMOUS sandwich. lol...........
I'll be taking the train up once they reopen the border, that sandwich looks delicious
Don't mess with perfection!
These people are living my dream.
no matter what...you truly cannot beat a bologna and cheese.
Nice video!!
What happened to mish mash for 2bits?
Didn't Wilensky's have to rebrand as "Whilensky" due to provincial law?

Good bread and keeping it simple is the way

What kind of bread they use in the sandwich?
It’s a secret 🤐
@@DiscoverMontréal ahh😳
Anyone see the irony of them donating to the Heart and Stroke Foundation? Still, I love fried bologna. Never had it with salami, but I will now.
I like to know what kind of bread that is that looks good I love fried bologna
We all do, the bread is a family secret!
Sandwich is Onion Roll, using 2 bottoms only. Tops are used for Hot Dogs (folded).
