Issac Toups’ Makes The Best Non-Po’boy Sandwich in New Orleans: The Muffuletta | How To
Рет қаралды 728,616
Күн бұрынIsaac Toups, olive fanatic and owner of Toups Meatery, teaches us how he makes an iconic New Orleans sandwich - and it's not a po' boy.
Meet the muffuletta, a sandwich that requires sesame bread, olives, cheese, and Italian meats. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a hangover.
Toups takes us through some of the sandwich's history and roots, his thoughts on serving it up toasted, and how critical it is to get good ingredients for this one.
He also asks some of the more important life questions most of us probably wonder, like, "Are there bars in hell?" and "What beer do they serve?"
Remember, this sandwich doesn't need to look pretty. It just needs to taste good. So make this sandwich, stand over your counter or garbage can, and sip some Lambrusco straight from the bottle while chowing down.
Check out the recipe here: www.vice.com/en/article/4awmk...
00:00 Intro
00:22 Brief history and prepping the olive salad topping
2:43 The bread
04:18 Constructing the sandwich

Always trust a Chef from NOLA, that is presenting a hangover recipe, while sober against his will (due to Munchies liability contractual terms), but confirming that will he eat this sandwich later after he is drunk (he is planning too🍷), with bread dunked in EVOO, drinking Lambrusco from the bottle, next to a trash can 🗑 Priceless👍

Except when they recommend the best, and use ham log. Those are the chefs to ignore, regardless of where they are geographically. Proper smokehouse ham isn't a processed log.
@djangodoescomputer Жыл бұрын
@@atheisthumanist1964 it may not be ham to you but processed log meat is what even the best salame is too, it all depends on the quality. Both types of ham have their uses and strengths, and i bet Toups knows that here. if you dont want to call it ham I totally feel you but its basically semantics, its just the word for that thing too, sadly.

@atheisthumanist1964 Жыл бұрын
@@djangodoescomputer Log ham ≠ salumeria. It's like comparing apples and applesauce. I understand what you mean, but that condenses things way too much to actually apply. The only commonality is meat, in this particular example pork. Nothing highly processed, which that ham was, and shaped into something that only appears to be ham, and isn't actually cured but includes liquid smoke to achieve the "smokehouse flavour" until you slice into it and realize it's not any better than a chicken mcnugget, is not considered "the best". Where I come from we call that welfare log.
@djangodoescomputer Жыл бұрын
@@atheisthumanist1964 Poor reading comprehension on your part if you think i was comparing them directly, just noting they are both fully processed meats. Nothing about being shaped like a log precludes the food from being quality. I dont think you can speak to the quality of the processed pork product Toups used here, hes a sausage maker himself. There are good ways to make all sorts of foods, even bologna can be of extremely high quality when made with high quality ingredients and methods.

Hands down my all time favorite sandwich 🙌 I always like to see the different variations. I've made it with mortadella/Genoa salami/prosciutto and Genoa salami/prosciutto/hot capicola but I never carry the cheese. It's always provolone and Swiss. I like ementaller but I think the creaminess of Swiss is better here. My opinion. I hate to say it but I always buy my muffuletta olive mix. As for the bread, I'm not a baker, Jason's deli is the only place locally where I can get it but Walmart does make a seed top loaf that works great after you oil and toast it and it's great for parties because it's like 18 inches long.
