Are you a dunker or a submerger? This sandwich is absolutely incredible either way, but I'm definitely going in all on the submerging! Check out some more Barry Tries videos here: kzfaq.info/sun/PLfItiEY3o1msmCdkx49hQcmgh39L02lf5

In the USA, the beef is sliced super thinly instead of the thicker version like you did. When it's sliced thinner, the au jus creeps in between each slice which produces the most amazing bite of Heaven you'd ever taste. Come over and we'll hook you up with the thin sliced version at j. Alexanders in Louisville, Kentucky. You may never go home...

I make cheat french dips sometimes by getting roast beef cold cuts from the deli, then heat them up in Campbell French onion soup. When it's hot I put it on a bakery sandwich roll with provolone cheese and toast it under the broiler / grill. I dunk the sandwich in the beefy soup leftover.

1-I’m a dipper and 2-thinly sliced beef is so much better!

The onions in proper French onion soup are slowly carmelized over a period of at least 45 minutes. Their flavor is wildly different from the ones you toss raw into the crockpot to simmer.

I love KZfaq! How else would I ever be able to discover these little differences between different parts of the world? As a North American, it never once occurred to me that a simple, beef dip sandwich would be such a novelty in the UK. Incidently, at least in my corner of the world, dipping has absolutely won out over the full submerge method. I can honestly say that I've never seen it served that way. Aaaand now, I need to toss a roast in the crockpot so we can have this for dinner.

I love how Cam filmed this. It’s fun seeing your antics all over the kitchen 😂 Also love this recipe!

I just wanted to add a comment in complete support of the new Cam style. It’s great and you’re all doing a great job doing what you love.

A lot of pubs in West Yorkshire traditionally did a similar thing on Sunday evenings called a Sop supper. Leftover roast beef, warmed in onion gravy, served on a floury roll/bap/breadcake with freshly pickled onions and chips cooked in dripping on the side. If pubs served everyone food they were allowed to serve drinks until 11 rather than 10.30 back in the day.

I discovered this sandwich a few years ago, and I love it. I would say though that the beef should be cut thinner as when I made it the second time and cut it thinner, it made the beef flavour stronger and it was more tender.

My wife eats this a lot and the meat on yours was quite thick, on French dip here in our corner of the US the meat is sliced deli thin and no onions as we recall. Yours looks quite splendid.

I love how much you are LOVING that sandwich! I felt that reaction in my soul :D Ya love to see it! I like the sass from Cam, calling you out for questioning French onion soup for having onions in it :D Those little bits i've seen in other people's videos and it always makes me chuckle :D

Betty is a fabulous name

The key to eating a wet sandwich like that is to remove it from the bath straight onto parchment or butcher paper and wrap it with one end exposed. The paper catches the mess, your mouth catches the flavor, and a lovely time is had by all.

Barry, I thank the world for you... and a French dip :)

Loved this! Watching someone so completely overjoyed with what they are making (and about to eat) is fantastic. And then there was the dance of the screaming hot jus/cooking liquid…

Why not “Davey Crock-Pot”? 😂

Wonderful to see how well your channel is going after all these years. Congratulations Barry.

I've eaten quite a few of those French dip sandwiches and never once have I been given a bib. I did get handful of napkins....but that's it. The best way I've had it: the underside of the bun was toasted in garlic butter, then the toasted side dipped in the Aju (being toasted help hold the bread together when dunked)

Love French Dip. Lately been dipping my homemade cheeseburger in beef gravy. OH YEAH. Had one of those last night.

looked amazing! thankyou!!

OMG that sandwich looks so amazing & thanks Barry n Mrs B 😋👍

Barry!!! You need to check out the Chicago Italian Beef sandwich/baguette! It’s another dunkable one and it’s phenomenal!

hey Barry ive actually eaten at both the "orginal places" and can tell ya philipes is superior yes they dunk the bread in the juice but they also give you a little cup to dunk the whole sandwich into as you eat also both used shaved beef almost like philicheese steak thin but your recipie looks spot on otherwise!

Although your video quality has improved with the addition of your camera guy, I can't help but miss the times the tripod would get knocked or the camera smashed XD oh an lovely beef!

Philippe has the best french dip I've ever eaten, used to drive over an hour just to get one. lol I've never seen one like the one you're making

You should make french onion soup for a video! Maybe a Barry tries...

That is making me super hungry. It looks great. Cheers, Barry! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

It looks absolutely delicious and wonderful! :) I loved it! :)

Here in Buffalo, NY we have a local specialty, probably only second in popular to Buffalo wings, that is a take on the French Dip. it's called "Beef on 'Weck". It's basically the same thing but the big difference is that it's served on a Kummleweck (or Kimmlewick I've seen it spelled both ways) roll, which is a bun with thick granules of salt and caraway seeds on it instead of a french baguette. It adds so much to the flavor and make a perfect accompaniment to an ice cold beer. It's been one my favorite sandwiches since I was a kid. I don't think I've ever saw them served anywhere outside of Buffalo, from my understanding it's actually kind of hard to source the Kummleweck rolls, and it's not a Beef on 'Weck without one. If you liked this, I jut know you'd love the Beef on Weck! Maybe someday we'll get to see ya try one out someday! Cheers!

Tremendous Barry! Love the new cam keep it up Dare to change

Ever since I read the message about the bad Cam-comments I am liking this chemistry even more 😢

David Crockerfield, the crockpot where the cooking magic happens

A fun fact about the condensation (not on BBC Four) on the slow cooker lid; as it dribbles down, that water provides a seal around the edge of the pot to keep all the liquids in and help it all stay nice and moist (favourite word!), as I found out one day after accidentally leaving a sheet of kitchen roll on mine and it had soaked up that watery seal & let it all evaporate, and everything inside was so dry and dangerously close to burning, still tasted great, but it was so super-concentrated that it was like a beef stew cordial needing to be watered down to use!!! :P

When life gives you onions, add a load more. Barry Lewis ESQ

This looks so good. Boston is the best. Keep Going Barry, I'm here for you!

I spit my coffee out when it fell in the crock 😂😂

I love a French dip. I definitely prefer it soaked. So yummy 😊

Lol cam's dry comments 😂 ty sir I needed the giggle

Barry: Oh, I forgot that was hot! Mrs B's face: Will you ever learn? 😀 Looks absolutely amazing though...

Awesome video ❤

As a Californian who has been eating a lot of French dip sandwiches over the last 40 years, I recommend that you open your baguette and just have the open face kiss the jus (dip about a centimeter). Then you build your sandwich and melt your cheese. Then you can dip at your leisure. This gives you the option of a little moisture or a very wet bite.

I have to try this sometime. It looks and sounds absolutely delicious.

In sixth form at my high school we had several different places to choose to have lunch from. My friends and I would always go to the "deli" as theyd make sandwiches like these filled with meat and gravy and they were divine. I hated high school and sixth form but I'd totally go back because the food there was always absolutely incredible. Like you could get pizza, crepes, popcorn, or other cakes/ biscuits when you wanted and they were all so damn good. It's funny as I ended up dropping out of 6th form but one of my hangups about doing so was that I wouldn't be able to have the food there anymore.

Salut can mean goodbye as well as hello in some contexts

I love that Cam is still part of the videos.

This video makes me want to eat more French dip sandwiches, I haven't had enough in my life!

cam's B roll shots are lush as heck... the filming in general is stonking. and now I'm incredibly hungry.... ah

I've been to both the originals and they're both great!!!

I absolutely LOVE Philippe's. I'm even drinking from a Philippe's cup I bought there right now!

Oh my god I'm so starving for a french dip now

2:01 As always your Boston impressions are on point! Youre both best boys!😂😂😂😂😂😂 And Brownie points for that sweet tune!

This is one of my favorite sandwiches. I made it last week. We dip as we go and traditionally the cheese is swiss.

Thank you for the watery mouth! That is one of my favorite sandwiches and watching you indulge so shamelessly, gave me tummy rumbles of envy. Submerging a French dip in a restaurant is tricky. I usually just lay the sandwich on my plate and pour the juices over top, wait a minute or two then, knife and fork it. At home? I’m all in with juice running up my arm and down my chin. Dang! I’m craving a French dip. BAD, BARRY! BAD, BAD BARRY! I have no roast to cook right now. Great video! Ohhhhh…yum!

The third greatest sandwich of all time (behind only the cubano and the cheesesteak), glad to see your take on it!

I’m sure there was an episode of Man V Food where they dunked the whole sandwich. There was even a specific way to lean on the counter so they didn’t get covered.

The picture looks so good I had to watch it as soon as I finished work! One of my fav vids for a while (even though they'll good!!) And I loved it when Cam said exactly what I was thinking "you didn't think there would be onions in onion soup?" 😂

On a similar kind of style, I think you should try making a Portuguese francesinha, a sandwich with a lovely sauce!

4:06 Masterful lazy hack Barry! Always do this when i cant be bothered to peel garlic too!

My basset makes 'Boston eyes' when I take out a steak. 220 million scent receptors go balistic, long strings of drool form. One of the funnest things that I ever did was once, on a whim, simply give him the entire raw sirloin steak. You never saw a dog more shocked. It was hilarious. I also learned that he can swallow a steak whole and 2 seconds later be sat there giving me puppy eyes waiting for the next one...

The classic French Dip and dunker is better for me. Good video and 🥪 yum. 👍

my god that looked 🔥🔥

got a bowl of stew in the fridge, i know what i'm doing tomorrow

i'm in for the submerged one. Bonus points for the mustard and extra onions, they are so underrated.

This video should be rated 18+ for inappropriate content because that sandwich looked dirty in all the best ways hahah

The end of this video was so chaotic 😂

Love, love, love a good French dip! Mwah! (Chef's kiss)

Here in Canada, it's called a beef dip. The 'au jus' is served on the side, hence the dip title. Always very tasty. Most restaurants use thinly sliced beef but here at home, it's sliced like you have it.

awesome! video!

Just wish people would give things a chance, each Cam video was getting better and this was definitely the best so far, everything felt right. Mrs B face when the sandwich fell after dunking was brilliant, hope she's feeling better?

That jar of beef broth you added looked amazing.

Barry: High power... Cam: *high pitched* Hi 😂

Loving the interaction with Cam.

I know my husband would love that and definitely would submerge it before eating!

Hoping you and Mrs. Berry has a wonderful cool safe anniversary

That looks amazing. I’m salivating watching it, pity it is 1:17am and I need to go to sleep 😂

The style change has met its higher level. Greater Cam work and finally the cuts and zooms are finding a level

That wet sandwich reminds me of French onion soup

I must remake this beautiful design of foods and more foods! :)

French Dip sandwich is a big thing in American, sandwich shops that specialise in this do not have tables and chairs but high benches that you stand in a certain stance over your plate/ basket to eat them.

Chicken and stuffing sandwich dipped in gravy best boxing day (or any day!) Treat. Yum😊

some places I've been to use a horseradish mayo where you used the dijon and it's very nice

I’m going to miss Cam. I wish he would have hung in there the haters would have given up.

I'd never eat this because I hate soggy bread, but it was very funny to watch. Some great lines from Barry "I forgot French Onion soup had onions in it". And forgetting that if you put something into a full container it's going to overflow... Never change, Barry. I thought the presence of Cam might change you but it doesn't seem to have.

Poor cam having to smell all that yumminess then watch it getting eaten 😂

I've always used a slice of bread to soak up my left over gravy. I'm sure I'd try the whole full dunking. X

Now that you've been introduced to the American "country name" wet sandwich, you need to try a Chicago Italian wet beef sandwich!

Ok so it’s not just me!! Tried to find the good old French onion soup mix but it’s vanished??

Phillipe's is fantastic. All of their sides and recipes they've been making for over 60 years. Definitely an experience with the old fashioned phone bank and the workers dressed like they were from the 19 40s/50s. Haven't tried the other place yet. I get the double dip with cheese and put their special horseradish sauce on it - it is like soaked in au jus!

I urge anyone visiting LA to visit Philippe The Original it is so good. I am saying this as someone who hates soggy bread but it is truly a once and a lifetime thing to experience. They have a limited menu and all they do is dipped sandwhiches. If you visit go early because sometimes they can have a line that is 45 minutes long. I much prefer the kind of French Dip you can dip in the Au Jus. I can control the sogginess that way.

Looks great, what is the cut of beef please Barry I'm gonna make this tomorrow 😍

I've never had a french dip that's been submerged before, but when I dunk, I leave it in the jus for a bit, not just a quick dunk. I think that helps it be more like the submerged one, but less messy to eat.

I submerge and dunk however I like my roast beef thinly sliced. Also, I prefer to keep the greenery out of it. I like the mustard but my husband likes to put mayo on his. (and we both love cheese on it )😁

You cut it too thick! Plus, you added mustard?! Hurt my soul man!!! Lol. Love a good French Dip, and I am glad you made it and enjoyed it.

Slow cooker could be called Jarvis as in Jarvis Cocker 😂

Im Aussie however heard Deli's in NYC do sangers like this that you dip

Ever since I discovered them, French Dip Sandwiches have been one of my absolute favorites. When they are made right, even on the cheap, they are amazing, But I've had an occasional bad ones by people I'm not sure that even know what a french dip sandwich should be. And I do remember watching a video a few months back about a guy making a vegan version with mushrooms as you mentioned. Actually looked really good.

The other whole dunk sandwich is Chicago's Italian Beef, which is similar to what you did Barry, they make the sandwich and then dunk the whole thing in.

Cor!!! Yes please

❤ that video
