The passengers: "It's amazing how anyone still knows how to operate a steam engine this old. The train crew most definitely take their jobs really seriously!" The train crew:

I don't think I ever want a grilled cheese sandwich ever again if it's not made like this.

That was probably the most effective demonstration of the draft in that firebox you could possibly have done. Practically everyone is familiar with the heft of a grilled cheese sandwich, and watching it _take flight_ was highly demonstrative.

These went from "oh that's an interesting way to cook a pizza" to "oh my god, this is ridiculous" I'm all here for it.

You should totally propose the idea of a once a year BBQ day at the museum cooked entirely with the k37. $15 Fee for dining.

“One shovel for coal, one shovel for sandwich” -Hyce 2023

"How would you like your grilled cheese?" Me: "K-37 on a no. 5"

Next has got to be the classic firebox fry-up! beans, eggs, bacon, tomatoes, sausage, the works! There's plenty of stories about shunters having too much time on their hands here and making a full English breakfast (and catching hell for it later)

Just watched this again with my 4 year old. He wanted to know if you lived on the train because you had to cook in the firebox. 😂 He's also demanding grilled cheese for lunch tomorrow.

1. How was the grilled cheese? 2. (Joke question) did the engine enjoy any grilled cheese that fell in the firebox?

And while you're cooking the grilled cheese in the firebox, you can heat up a can of tomato soup on the oil can shelf.

always love the k-37 kitchen episodes

491: "Oh, thanks!" SLURP A (more boring?) way to cook in a locomotive would be to heat the shovel in the firebox, then cook on the heated metal. That way the loco won't have as much of a chance to steal your sandwich! Using the real dairy product is so much butter than any substitutes. Less margarine of error. 😁

I heard Smells like Kenosha and I started cold-sweating, thinking the 491 was gonna put herself in the dirt or something. See what you have done to me, Hyce? _See what you have DONE?_ 😂

Hello, can I take your order?. Me: Yes, I will take a grilled cheese from 491 please.

Well done, you made the coal scoop actually look like a good spot to grill on!

The answer to 'Can She make a Grilled Cheese?' has been found it is *Perhaps* but she consumes some as payment!

That intro almost made me die laughing Everything flies off into the fire box and burns Another good episode of K. - 37 kitchen A grilled cheese made in a fire box

Yes! another cracking episode of K-37 Kitchen!

Hyce is like that chef character in that one lucky Luke movie, cooking stuff in the firebox while the fireman complains about it

It honestly makes me wonder if way back in the day when steam was more common whether or not they actually would cook in the firebox? Imagine a logging train crew stopping for the night and cooking up some venison somebody hunted up on the mountain. It's an interesting concept.

You don't need fancy cheese, but I want my cheese to contain more than 51% cheese, whatever kind of cheese it is.

I still remember my grandpa telling stories of how during the winter months my grandma would make him sourcrout and kielbasi sandwiches wrapped in tin foil to take to work at the paper mill. The paper mill was approximately 7 miles away and had to walk because they couldnt afford a vehicle. Every once in a while he would get lucky timing to hop the train to near where the paper mill was, and on the way the locomotive driver would heat up my grandpa's sandwich in the furnace using the coal shovel. I sure miss my grandparents, the wholesome stories, and the times of the good ol' days when even simple/little things were so much more genuinely appreciated because many people didnt have much.

From what I have heard from a former boiler Tech for the US navy if you open the low pressure steam chest And drop The makings have a Rubin in itAnd pull it out after 5 it tends to be pretty good.

I honestly think the crew of 491 must had a great lunch that day 😋 😂 It's good too see k-37 kitchen is back, this was another amazing Hyce keep up the great work and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😎❤

This is the most incredible series of content ever laid eyes on by human kind

'First one's not gone well. 491 gets the first one." Oh silly, steam trains LOVE a good grilled cheese.

'Smells Like Kenosha' was a really great touch for the airborn sandwich that Peaches ate off the coal scoop. Thanks for this fun video!

Might need to sand that shovel to a mirror finish and finally make the mystical non-stick shovel

Grilled cheese is godly already but you just made it better

Yes, instead of coal we hear at the LS&D use grilled cheese instead of fuel, and next time for k37 kitchen let's make pizza pops

I love how she waited until you finished making the first one to eat it.

While you were making Grilled cheese you almost forgot the crew needed to give the K37 THE BEANS and that's always important to remember when making Grilled Cheese on your K-37.

They make those wire clam shell camp fire cookers least you wouldn't have the hoover effect of 491 claiming your sandwich

This is what I love so much about your channel. You do and show things no one else really does, and it opens a really cool and unique window into steam, it’s preservation, and even railroading as a whole… with a little tomfoolery along the way. For that, I say thank you. Long live the ES&D!

I've done a shovel cheese toastie before - goes lovely with a tin of beans. Never had the luxury of a second shovel, but I think the coal dust improves the flavour.

You gotta try eggs with sausage or bacon. My great grandfather talked of making that alot, steaks, baked potatoes, and fresh coffee off the backhead where the oil cans get kept hot. Alot of the engines he cooked on were Reading Camelbacks and while flying down the line would walk up fresh cooked food on the running board to his Engineer up in the cab. Signal stops and station stops were great places to cook at while the engineer waited for the highball from the banjo signal or conductor.

Hyce: push shovel with a grilled cheese in K37. grilled cheese: weeeeeeeee!!!!

You totally replicated the moment from old Top Gear with Clarkson and the steam train... He also tried to make a cheese sandwich while on the move in a steam train, and it also got sucked into the firebox, just a bit more violently than yours. Love these cooking with Hyce runs!

my employer: so why do you want to work at our railway museum young man? me: grill cheese.

491 liked that first sandwich so much she decided she'd just have another, that's all. Which means 491 *really* likes grilled cheese sandwiches. That's my head canon now.

Been waiting for this ever since k-37 kitchen was started and it did not disappoint (obviously)

This is awesome! Grinning ear to ear watching this video. The old girl just INHALED that second sandwich 🤣

I’m not first but I saw this go up in the first two minutes and my comment will surely be buried. Love your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing!!!

On every episode of this series all that goes through my mind is “what does the museum’s director think of this?”

Oh man, that last sandwich looked perfect!

Ooooo! Grilled cheese! -insert Homer drool here-

Always love the k-37 kitchen episodes. also thinking about becoming a member on the channel.

You've gotta use the deep heel of the shovel like a wok and make fried rice next!

I think this is the best K37 Kitchen episode yet!

To make grilled cheese you spread the butter on one side of the bread then the cheese then the bread and butter on one side for the top of the bread and the next one to do for the kitchen you should do burgers with cheese and see how fast you can get grilling

Who needs cancer from coal fumes when you can just bring the coal directly into your stomach via a delicious grilled cheese!

The Great Grilled Cheese battle of the 491

giving new meaning to inhaling a grilled cheese sandwich

"We work on steam trains - give us the plastic cheese!" - Great line.

Mixing some packets of limpton onion soup mix with a touch of salt, pepper, and diced green onions in your ground beef. Toss ur patties on your pit over the wood of your choice and cook to your liking.

Home chiefs? Yes Hyce, everyone has a K-37 at home (I wish) great video I also love the conductor called the all clear and they said they need a few minutes lol

Dispatcher: "Hey...why was the train late leaving the station again?" Engine crew: "Grilled cheese." Dispatcher: **confused silence**

i use mayonaise instead of butter much more flavor if you like mayo. maybe throw a slice of ham on it as well? either way got to do some steaks!

K-37 is hungry, can't even wait for Hyce to finish cooking. 20 year old me's grilled cheese of choice was 2 large slices of sough dough round fried open face in butter with sharp cheddar on both slices. Serve with cold sliced roast beef, possibly also bacon, and whole cup of strained cooked instant ramen for "texture". Eat while the meat is still cold for the nice temp contrast. Was likely like 1500+ cal, but it was the only thing I'd have eated all morning between part-time job were I'd often have walked 1-2 miles doing the least efficient routes around campus and before going on a 20 mile hike in the hills for the afternoon.

"We now cut to the Toyota Grilled Cheese Cam!"

“We work on steam trains. Give us the plastic cheese.” -Hyce I feel that.

I would love to see a piece of bread draft out the stack 😂

You are a beautiful human. Bless you my good man.

My friend once cooked a deer roast wrapped in foil on a piece of hot machinery heated by steam. It turned out pretty good.

Is it just me or was "Smells like Kenosha playing when Peaches ate the 2nd sandwich?

9:40 looks like the k37 worked up an appetite.

I used to be a driver and there is the old story about driver cooking dinner on a hot engine block. It isn't entirely untrue. While I never used the block, I would stick my lunch in the dash and turn on the heater core. Better for you that gas station hot dogs I guess

491 after two sandwiches get pulled into the firebox by the draft: mmmmm, lunch

Mark that was great. Oh my 491 was hungry! For sure she looks forward to tasting your latest treat. That coal scoop is so versatile isn’t it. 😂 Can’t wait for the next Mark’s choo choo test kitchen episode.

Very nice. I believe the English chaps that had a fry up on the footplate of their engine, well...for the lack of a better term..had a more "quaint" fire and firebox to work with. Did y'all confirm the engine is not lactose intolerant??! 🤣

During the good old steam days, it was quite common for British firemen to fry bacon and eggs on the shovel, put it between two slices of bread and enjoy a smoked sandwich!

Man that looks like a delicious burger. I remember being behind 2102 in the 80s going 50-60mph and eating hot dogs hanging out and the cinders and the like getting in the Famous Berks Hot dogs. Boy were they delicious

0:04 "For me? Geee, you shouldn't have, you're too nice...... NOM" Also, I just love thinking, all those museum guests walking past, they probably saw a locomotive, with several guys on the foot plate and thought "Yes, a professional, highly skilled train crew, doing highly technical and complicated train things to make the train go" When in reality it's that same highly skilled, highly professional train crew... making grilled cheese over the most expensive kitchen appliance known to man, simply because they can :)

This was a really fun video! Thanks for sharing and showing the true force of the firebox draft. I honestly had no idea it was that strong

When it drafted the sandwich right in. 😂 She's hungry too.

Well that's a cute little novelty. I remember making pancakes on a fire.. extra smokey 😋

The way that fire was banked up in the beginning made me wonder how long it would be ‘til croutons went out the stack 🤣

Grilled turkey and swiss is pretty good too

aparently 491's favorite food is Grilled Cheese!

Hyce:puts shovel in box The sandwich: SOY, FRANCESCO FIUUUUUUUUUUUU FRANCESCO VIRGOLINII FUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Need to see some baked beans at some point. Give her the BEANZ!

I was very concerned to hear Smells Like Kenosha start playing in an IRL video.

What if instead of holding it in the fire you use the shovel as a giddle of sorts heat it up as much as you can and use it's residual heat to cook the sandwich.

Thank you for taking a picture with my brother on saturday. Love your content Hyce!!!

Ironically my family had grilled cheese tonight for dinner. Greetings from Canada, go KAN!

Just confirming Dusty is still alive after consuming this grilled cheese, he's still just as broken as the rest of us, but he is alive

As soon as I heard Smells Like Kenosha, I knew something was going to go wrong. She's a hungry lady, 491!

Train goes "Hmmm yummy Grilled cheese!!" Nom nom nom nom

that draft of hers is insane i wonder if that bread even touched the coal would have peed laughing if someone got a video of the slice of bread shot out of the stack of 491

Amazing job on the a grilled cheese on a k class 37 steam locomotive 491

Nom. Fave: Butter both sides of both pieces of bread, Assemble with cheese and very lightly salt in the middle as desired. Add fire. Flip when down side toasted. Important: Press it flat...hard. Flip until both sides are evenly toasted and Crispy, pressing after every flip. Lean on the spatoola hard each time. Half-inch thick, crunchy really buttery salted grilled cheese. Make two because one won't be enough. Optionally dust with sugar and kosher salt mix ground from old pepper grinder I always keep close by and filled. Another option is wipe down the inside faces of the bread lightly with maple or table syrup. Leave it sit for a minute and the syrup will soak into the bread and crystallize. THEN you butter the bread . A personal favourite is use the two fully-cooked thin grilled sandwiches like pieces of bread on each side of a juicy ground steak hamburger. Grilled cheese sandwich steak burger with at least a quarter pound burger, preferably a half-pound and a cold Canadian beer. That's how I do it up here in Canada. Sadly, no locomotives allowed in the apartment so frying pan must do mighty impression. Sort of like smash burger style cheeseburger...with Meat! Crap, now I'm hungry. Thanks for another fun video, Mark. Cheers from Ottawa, ON!

possible hot take. while i've never made a grilled cheese in a firebox, what i do is 1. take 2 slices from the loaf 2. place on plate on the side so when they fall the top is away from you 3. warm pan, put butter in pan. --a healthy coating. 4. (here is the possible hot take, my nephew and niece introduced me to it) spread mayonnaise on both slices. 5. decide which slice will be the bottom, for me it's the right slice. put it same-side-up in the pan, let the butter soak into the bread. 6. add slices of cheese to the slice in the pan. 7. top with remaining slice. 8. flip. and check "doneness" 9. wait a minute or two and check "doneness" on bottom slice. If done, viola. if not repeat step 8 and 9. PS: u got me craving a grilled cheese sandwich so i went and made one.

You need to get the bulk singles packs that are all unwrapped for grilling. It would've saved you the pain of trying to unwrap them one-handed. Love the cooking videos

9:00 Now thats Fast Food Level K-37 Kitchen!

Made me grin from ear to ear. Really enjoyed this one.

Ah yes making a grilled cheese with the heat from the hell flame

If you took some metal mesh you could make sort of a cover that could clip on the shovel and keep the engine from eating the sandwich. I wonder how many people cooked this way back in the day.

Cooking a grilled cheese: the fireman’s way

OK we've established you can cook in one of these things, and also you can get rid of garbage, next we need someone to set up a little anvil on the tender and see if you can smith metal while the train goes around!
