What is your all time Favorite sandwich??

Hi, Southerner here. The MOST important thing about eating BBQ in America is understanding that just because you eat it once in one state, that it's all the same. It's not even the same in different regions of the same state, so be sure to try it lots of different places as well as different types, brisket, ribs, pulled pork, smoked chicken, etc. Same goes for seafood!!!

Elvis was in the Army from 1958 until 1960. That is where he learned Martial Arts.

I live in New Mexico, and let me tell ya, green chile burgers are awesome, but really, adding green chile to anything makes it better!

Young lady, dont EVER let anyone convince you that you are crazy for making sure chicken is properly cooked, as a trained chef I 100% agree you are right to be careful.

A dipped Italian beef is incredible. You just have to know how to eat it and not wear it. 😂

Burnt ends is beef not pork

Favorites are the beef brisket and the banh mi... maybe because we're Vietnamese born in Texas 🤣😂

If you like beef w/ no fat then you'd like bison/buffalo

Her facial expressions were amazing 😂😂😂

Hey I'm from NJ and that Pork Roll Sandwich is a staple. It's not bologna, it's a cured ham. I don't eat pork anymore but as a kid growing up this was the ultimate breakfast sandwich, found at diners and delis throughout the state. The southern Half of the state calls it Pork Roll (the Proper term) the Northern half calls it Taylor Ham (the name of a company that makes pork roll).

Turkey is very difficult to cook correctly because the breast meat is so lean and cooks so fast that it dries out by the time the fattier thighs and legs are done. A properly cooked turkey is brined and has the breast meat shielded by foil for most of the cooking process so it cooks slower and loses less moisture. You remove the foil for the last 20-30 minutes and crisp up the skin and let it rest afterwords like a steak.

chicken salad sandwich with grapes, mayonaise, and whatever seasoning you like. the same with the bread.

The lobster Haddock ( a white meaty fish ) and fried clams are found in New England = Maine New Hampshire & Massachusetts. It's to die for . All is fresh daily in these state's anywhere along the seacoast. Cranberry bogs are in southern Massachusetts but can be found in other states throughout USA

Omg watching your face when you see the different sandwiches is hilarious. I’m a chef an love it when someone appreciates good food. I’m in NY so my favorite sandwich was the Italian hero that was salami ,pepperoni, provolone, hot peppers, pickled mushrooms lettuce tomato oil an vinegar on the best NY Italian bread. The bread is everything lol

My favorite sandwich is a good old BLT ( Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato on toasted bread. For variety I’ll grab whatever sandwich is local to the area I’m visiting and have enjoyed them all.

If you want to rediscover peanut butter, eat a fluffer nutter aka peanut butter and marshmallow cream on bread. It's horrible for you but damn is it good.

Most of my life I laughed at folks worrying about food poisoning. My father demanded everything be overcooked and I felt it ruined the flavor. I used to say that I wanted a little taste of the life left. However then in December of 2017 I cooked some slightly expired pork (waste not, want not). Woke up next day gasping for breath, barely got dressed and stumbled outside and called an ambulance. My blood oxygen level was down to about 50%. Felt I was suffocating. They intubated me and told me I was near death and they were trying to figure out what happened. Finally figured food poisoning. In for a week, weak for a month. Now I am terrified of food poisoning.

Happy to see your daughter has decided to do more vids with you. Great kids, with great attitudes and personalities.

You can make the Alabama white sauce. There are many recipes for it online. When it comes to cranberry sauce, some people make their own. I personally perfer it out of the can and jellied. Your daughter and I are on the same page, when it comes to seafood. I don't like fish and some shell fish, but I do make sure, what I do eat is boiled or deep friend. The cheese in the Monte Cristo is Swiss.

I'm from New Jersey. Taylor Ham/Pork Roll is different to bologna. And it goes great in a Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese sandwich on a bagel with salt, pepper, and ketchup.

Mac and Cheese: can never go wrong with Alton Brown

Deep fry the Turkey it will be insanely juicy

Elvis Presley served two years in the army in 1958 -1960. Stationed in Germany.

I just wanted to say, I've only seen three of your videos, but your daughter shows me that some excellent parenting is going on in that home. 👌 Big thumbs up from USA!

I live in Wyoming. Loved your fluffy cow reference, regarding Bison, or Buffalo. I would say that buffalo meat is much leaner than regular beef, and has a mild flavor. 🦬

I know a few food trivia. 1) Roasted Hatch peppers work well with a lot of dishes 2) Beer is a fermented food item like red wine 3) Depending on where you're at, the meat can go between 12 to 16 hours in the smoker 4) There are many types of cheese and one place actually puts Hatch chili peppers inside them as they're being made As much as you don't like peanut butter Jono, I have the same thing with tuna. My dad used to make tuna fish sandwich a lot when my sister and I went to school as children. I can still eat tuna but I'd pick something else if there are other options.

The very best barbecue brisket is at Black’s Barbecue in Lockhart Texas. It’s really a spiritual experience and I swear that it feels like the whole world fades away when you take the first bite. The boneless pork chop sandwich is marinated in Italian dressing, grilled and topped with either provolone or Swiss cheese along with carmelized grilled onions. Mayonnaise and/or yellow mustard are the condiments. It’s really entertaining to watch people see how much flavor is in our food so thanks for making this video!

There is a good way to cook turkey where the white meat is juicer than the dark meat. Golden crispy skin with a good seasoning.

6:30 If you plan your trip to the U.S. around Thanksgiving time I'm sure someone down south would be happy to have you over to try a nice deep fried turkey which is the BEST way to make it tender and flavorful.😮

I'm like Leah (I hope I spelled that correctly). As a young child I liked rare steak, but after learning about trichinosis in 8th grade science I would only eat it burnt to a crisp. At 68 now, I am finally able to go medium well. I don't like alot of seafood but I will eat catfish anytime it's on the menu. It doesn't taste "fishy". The secret to Smithfield ham is in the way it is cured, not the way it is cooked. My favorite sandwich is a Rueben even though I will only eat sauerkraut in a small amount. And, Jono, a pulled pork BBQ sandwich isn't complete without cole slaw on it! 😊

I'm 23 and still eat a pb&j as a quick snack at work. Kept it from my school days:)

I have been to New York City many times and I love it. The best way for me to explain NYC is it is ELECTRIC and so many things to do.

The New Jersey sandwich with Pork Roll/Taylor Ham is a type of ham that is only made in our state. It is a pre civil war creation that is cured/fermented. When cooked properly it has a sweet and salty taste that isn't like ham or bologna.

Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites :) it’s awesome seeing people be open minded and bringing positive energy. The world sure could use more people like yourselves. 😊 much love from Texas

Taylor Ham / Pork Roll is made from pork. It’s cured with spices & brown sugar and then boiled and left to finish curing. It comes in a stick like bologna or you can buy it sliced in a box. You fry it and then put it on bread , usually a hard roll by itself or with egg & cheese. It’s a New Jersey thing until recently you could only get it in New Jersey , you’d be lucky to find it anyplace else in the US but in the last 15 to 20 yrs with the internet & shipping and so many people that moved from here in New Jersey across the country now you can find it in stores or just get it shipped to your door.

Proud to be Texan. Our brisket sandwiches cannot be beat.

13:20 I would say avoid the city simply because it's such a stereotypical tourist trap and gives the rest of NY a bad name. Since you are the outdoors type you should look up (maybe do a reaction video to) The Adirondacks. It's a state park in New York that is larger than the 5 biggest national parks (Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Glacier, and Great Smokies) combined at 6.1 million acres. It was founded in 1892 and has been written in to the New York State Constitution to remain forever wild. Known for its expansive wilderness areas and 46 mountain peaks over 4,000ft - it is somewhere that would definitely take your breath away and give you plenty of opportunities to fish, hike, or whatever you want to do outdoors. And it will give you a taste of what New York is really like as people often think of New York City when they hear New York but never think of places like The Adirondacks, The Thousand Island Region, The Finger Lakes (wine country), or all the amazing glens and gorges of Central NY.

I grew up having peanut butter and jelly for lunch at school. 40 years later I still love the bloody things. If they're frozen it's even better. I'm from Minnesota and the Juicy Lucy is the real deal. SO good!!!

My all-time #1 is a classic Reuben. Hey, if you're still planning to visit TX next year, you could likely visit the four biggest cities while you're there. For example, fly into Dallas, rent a car, spend a couple of days there. Then drive about 5 hours to San Antonio, spend some time there. Then it's a short drive to Austin, and Houston is only a few short hours from that. You'd get to see a massive amount of the state that way.

Just like there's more to the US than Texas there's a lot more to the state of New York than New York city. NYC is probably the safest city in the US. Anyone who says it's dangerous has obviously not visited. If you spend most of your time where people aren't, you're not going to get much out of your trip. The US is its people.

I think everyone should visit NY at least once. But make time to see more than just NYC. Visit the mountains, the caverns, the quaint towns as well as Manhattan. Also visit the other boroughs of NYC. I live in Queens, NYC , which is called the world’s borough. There are well over 130 ethnicities living here, all of whom have brought their food and cultures with them. About half the people here were born elsewhere, including me.

I have more than 1 favorite sandwich & here are some of them:😋😋 1) Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam. 2) Peanut Butter & Marshmallow Fluff. 3) Turkey Club with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles & 1,000-Island Dressing. 4) Bologna with Lettuce & Mayo. 5) Cheese Steak with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles & Ketchup. 6) Cheese Burger with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles, with Fries & Ketchup. 7) Italian Meatball with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles & Mozzarella Cheese. 8) Oven-Baked C.P.L.T. (Cheese, Pickle's, Lettuce & Tomato) with Ketchup or BBQ Sauce.

I love your channel and your wonderful kids. They are lovely and great kids!

Wild turkey (the game bird) is FABULOUS. Will absolutely ruin you on the domestic bird. Bison burgers ate fantastic. BUT, beware of cooks over cooking the meat. I grew up on game meat, and I know how to cook game meat properly. A lot of inexperienced game meat cookers overcook the meat. Of course, those same cooks probably overcook all meat they prepare.

People who say don't go to New York have an axe to grind. There's a weird rural vs urban, liberal vs conservative component to it. New York is awesome, and anywhere you'd go as a tourist is likely very safe. By data, it's the safest large city in the country.

Elvis was Drafted into the U.S. Army way before Viet-nam, he served in the 3rd Armored Division in West Germany for 2 years as a Tanker.

Nebraskan here! Runza sandwiches are indeed a very unique staple of this state, and Runza is a chain restaurant only found here. The Reuben sandwich should have been on this list too, IMHO, but I get why they chose the Runza.

I've lived in Colorado for most of my life and I have never even heard of that vile sammich.

Lmao don’t listen to people telling you not to visit NYC. a lot of it resentment over politics

Your daughter is so beautiful and sweet! Can’t wait for you guys to try some of these out here in the US next year, or hopefully have the opportunity to make some at home leading up to it 🤗 SO many KZfaq channels with recipes, but “Sam the Cooking Guy” seems to know all of the most crave-able creations we have. The one he most recently posted actually came from South Africa, which I’m so excited to try! 🤤

She's Adorable!

Do not listen to people who say don't go to New York City. That's just silly.

Honestly the only reason to avoid New York is that it can be quite expensive, but it's a great city with a lot to see and do and some of the best food in the world, both in terms of local specialties and authentic food from all over the country and the world. I've only been lucky enough to visit a couple of times and yeah, if you're not into cities I can see how it might not appeal to you, but it's a really great destination. Also, be aware when listening to recommendations about avoiding whole cities, states, or regions that a fair amount of America's polarized politics gets put into resentment toward places where the other side lives. You'll often hear more liberal or left-wing people telling you to avoid the South and more conservative or right-wing people telling you to avoid places like California, New York, or Chicago. You shouldn't listen to either of them, as a foreign visitor I think you'll have a great time no matter what part of the country you travel to. Certainly there are bad neighborhoods to avoid in some places, so you should listen to specific advice from locals about that kind of thing, but there really aren't any states or major cities that you'd need to completely avoid.

Simply said, prepare yourself for a culinary adventure! You have been warned!😂❤

If I go to a Thanksgiving dinner and they don’t have cranberry sauce, I’m leaving 😂

As a father to another father please don't go to New York City. It's dirty and unsafe, nothing like what you see in the movies. If you want a great place to visit come to the South. There's a lot of history and great food to choose from. You can't beat Southern Hospitality. Much love to you and your family.

Can't recommend ANY cities, here in the USA. Look to visit the small cities, small famous towns. The people are nicer, the prices are better AND the ambience is outstanding. Try Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, Nashville, Sedona, Gatlinburg, Bar Harbor, Williamsburg, Gettysburg, St. Augustine, Mackinac Island, . . . . . there are hundreds!

I'm subscribing just for the wholesomeness! And if you do head to the states, I hope you make videos of you enjoying the food here!

I understand your mother problems. My mother was the same, God bless her.

My favorite Mac and cheese is the one I make occasionally. It's my Mac and beer cheese creation. I make a beer cheese sauce from scratch with some applewood smoked bacon mixed in and some more crumbled on top with some extra cheese so I get that nice crust on top with the slightly burnt edges. I don't make it often since it takes a little time to make and gets the kitchen hot, so I usually make it in the winter here in AZ. But now I really want to make it even though we are hitting 110F today and our air conditioner is not working (landlord says it'll be fixed in a couple days).

Hey man, love your videos and good job at being a father too. Your daughter seems to have a great personality and the dynamic between you is awesome! Wish all of yours the absolute best and thank you for the content!

Elvis was drafted in 1958 and served in Europe during the Cold War. He never saw combat.

Glad to see you including your kids in the videos. It’s great to expose them to world and the differences that actually make us more similar than the world thinks we are! Great job Dad!

“Carbless?… shut up!” Hahaha I’m dead.

Laya is so sweet ! I live in Wisconsin. Our bratwursts are cooked in beer and then cooked on a Charcoal grill. We put them on a nice bun with sour kraut and onions a little beer that they were cooked in and then mustard.

You can cook a really juicy turkey by simply stuffing it with quartered onions, and baking it covered with a lid (or sealed under foil), until the last , when you can uncover it and use the broiler to crisp the skin. The juice in the pan makes a wonderful gravy with just a bit of corn starch, simmered until thickened on the stovetop. Once you do that, you can play with the stuffing until you find a mix of fillings you like which keeps the bird moist and juicy, as well as flavorful. There is nothing better than Thanksgiving gravy, from the pan drippings of the stuffed turkey. There's so much it should last weeks, but it never does.

I don’t blame her for being scared of getting food poisoning. I work in healthcare (i’m american), and i’ve seen where people can nearly die from food poisoning if they don’t get treated immediately.

Have you ever tried a peanut butter sandwich with banana and then fry it in a cast-iron frying pan? So good. It was one of Elvis favorite sandwiches.

This is the BEST Mac and cheese recipe that you need to try. I make it for any and every holiday and it is always the first thing to go. People can’t keep their hands off of it!

Growing up in Massachusetts I grew up eating peanut butter & fluff sandwiches still eat them to this day. But my All time favorite sandwich would be A B.L.T with avocado

Carbless lettuce wrapped sandwiches and burgers are good for people with medical and nutritional restrictions and allergies. Like diabetes, ciliac disease, hypertension, kidney disease. Also for people on ketogenic and carnivore diets.

Need to try your turkey deep fried in peanut oil, I personally use a Cajun seasoning and marinade, just came across your videos and so far I like what I see, really like how you interact with your kids.

There is a "sandwich" not on any list or menu. My dad made it up when I was a child some 60 years ago. Slice of white bread Slice of what we call American cheese (Brits call it sandwich cheese) Sauted onions Crispy bacon (Brits call it streaky bacon) cooked Sliced tomato sauted or broiled This is an open faced sandwich meaning no top slice of bread. Use a baking tray or aluminum foil for easy clean up. Put cheese on plain untoasted bread. Broil until cheese slightly melted. Top with sauted tomato, sauted onions and crispy bacon. Broil again until cheese fully melted and edges of toast crispy. Cut into quarters and eat with your fingers getting a bit of each topping per bite. You will love it. We make 6 to 8 at a time.

The most popular sandwich here in Nevada is actually a tri-tip roast beef sandwich.

Find a good mustard based mustard and vinegar based Carolina style barbeque sauce, then cook the turkey in the oven like you're going to make a big meal out of it. Once it's done, let it cool a bit and then shred the meat. Pour the barbeque sauce over it. You're welcome. BBQ Turkey. Edit: Having gotten further than the not liking turkey comment (I can only eat it as I laid out as I agree, not for me otherwise), fried soft shell crab on the Gulf of Mexico with fried eggs, sausage and grits was a constant staple growing up. When I was a teen we'd go to the grandparents house that lives on the water and during the evening at low tide in early June we'd go pick up soft shell crabs. Still my favorite seafood to eat at 40.

This is my first time watching you all. Both of your reactions were adorable. Especially when you were like, "We can make most of these."

Great Kids Jono! Mini Jono and Miss Jono! :) You obviously are raising them right :) I enjoy peanut butter things but I can understand if you were burned out or overloaded with peanut butter growing up that you do not like it now. Makes perfect sense. Yes definitely try turkey cooked correctly especially if you come to USA :)

I made a 14 pound brisket for the 4th of july... Everyone went bed on the 3rd and i listened to music and youtube allnite cooking that brisket... 13 hrs smoking it and 3 more hrs cooking it.... So good...

To make juicy turkey at home, brine it in flavored salt water for few hours before cooking. The turkey will plump up and won't dry out in the oven. Another way is to deep fry in peanut oil.

Turkey can be absolutely amazing the key is cooking it in a roaster pan with a rack . Make a butter paste with softened butter salt pepper a little cayenne powder dried sage and dried lemon peel flakes and a little olive oil mix together spread the butter mixture under the skin of the turkey and all over the skin on the bird. Then place the turkey upside down on the rack. Cook in the oven as directed but the last hour to 1 1/2 hours take the turkey out of the oven and flip it right side up. I also stuff my turkey in the cavity with quartered onions garlic cloves quartered orange and lemon. This will change your mind about turkey promise!

WE go to NYC every year at Christmas time! It is a must do trip!

The look on her face when Texas brisket came up on the screen. I need to get me a girl who looks at me like that hahahaha

I'm the same as Leah. Well seasoned chicken thighs baked until falling off the bone is my favorite. Those I don't finish I stick in the fridge, and when ready to eat, pluck the meat off the bone(no tendon) chop up and saute with butter until a little crispy and add hot sauce. This satisfies my buffalo wing cravings.

A turkey has to be brined(1 cup of kosher salt to 1 gallon or 4 liters of water). Brining is the process of infusing proteins with salt, sugar and flavor. It tenderizes and moisturizes meat. You can also add sugar, juices, beer and wine to make an even more flavorful turkey. I have been brining my turkeys and other tuffer meats for year.

A snack that you will love to eat is fried pickles dipped into Ranch Dressing. You get dill pickle chips, bread them, and deep fry them.

Another sandwich you can have in NYC is a Chop Cheese (and I like mines with extra bacon)

That was great fun!

New York is fine there's lots to see!

Salutations from the states i hope you enjoy your visit and the food cheers 🍻

Proper made turkey is done in a smoker for 11 hours, with a wood chip and beer steamer plate at the bottom. It won't be dry and will melt in your mouth like butter.

You have to try the fry bread! It's so amazing!

The Bobbie at Capriotti’s (it’s a smaller chain so you can find it in many places) is fresh oven roasted turkey made fresh in each store (not cold cut slices). Personally I get it without the mayo, and with extra cranberries. The turkey is a blend of pulled sections of white and dark meat, and can be cold (standard) or hot.

i watch TV with a sleeve of Ritz crackers and a jar of crunchy peanut butter. 68 years old. lol. reminds me of home.

Taylor Ham, Egg & Cheese with salt, pepper, and ketchup on a hard roll is an iconic breakfast sandwich AND excellent for late night diner runs after being out with the fellas. Another Iconic NJ sandwich is the 'Sloppy Joe', which is a double decker deli sandwich on rye bread. It has layers of meat (usually ham, turkey or roast beef), swiss cheese and coleslaw with russian/thousand island dressing.

The Nebraska sandwich is called a bierock (or a Runza at an eatery with the same name). There are a lot of German heritage that continued the recipe in that state. Another sandwich to try is a hot beef sandwich (either open or closed face). Personally I prefer the closed faced version. I rank diners/eateries based upon how well that they can make this sandwich.

Who says not to go to New York!? NYC should be on everyone's bucket list! If you're visiting the US, New York City should NOT be missed!

When you come over and stop at a Buc-ee's (they're in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and expanding) you can get a really nice brisket sandwich - they're made fresh 24/7 at every location I've been to. Nice way to check two things off your list at once. 🙂

I love peanutbutter and sliced tomatoes on white toast. We cook our turkeys in roasting bags with 1/2 a bottle of white wine! Believe me, the turkey is NOT dry!!!!

Pasty are also popular in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Cornish brought them over when they immigrated and even now you can find places that specialize them throughout the state but especially in the North.
