Link to original video: • Brits try real Philly ...
taking a whiz is def. a saying here in the USA
Well the guys they asked are barely american lol so what do u expect
Baguettes and Hoagies are totally the same thing, just like cats and dogs are the same thing.
What do you use for your hoagies? Fucking white bread loaf? Thats some white trash shit. Yes, you should be using french bread for your hoagies. Dont have to white trash it up.
Actually made me laugh :P I was watching and came to the comments to see what people made of it lol. :P
Do we have a CatDog situation going on here?
17:31 The guy who doesn't understand the difference between a cheesesteak, hoagie and a baguette has not right saying someone else is wrong about sandwiches.
please shut up you make 0 sense 🤦🏻♂️
A hoagie is not the bread it is a type of sandwich. A hoagie is a sandwich on a roll, with meat, veggies, etc.
We do call it a hoagie roll though 😂
As a local tour guide, history buff, and foodie - the best guess by local historians is that the term "hoagie" was coined at the Hog Island shipyard, which eventually got incorporated into the footprint of the Philadelphia International Airport. The Italian ship builders would bring these sandwiches to work for lunch and "Hog Island Sandwiches" became "hoagies". It's the best, most reasonable explanation I've ever heard of, though of course, it's folklore more than historical as far as I've ever read.
The "wooder" ice pronunciation is because of the historically German & Dutch connections in the tri-state area.
I was a U.S.Marine. ya'll helped us in Afghanistan, we returned the favor. Much respect.
Yay my home town of philly is represented ❤❤🎉
Being outside.. yeah in Philly and probably in a lot of our smaller cities. Specially during the warm months, it is usually to hot and crowded to be inside of these types of restaurants, so you will find people will get their food and congregate outside on the corners or other places that provide enough space for people to just stand around and socialize. Americans really love to socialize and we don't necessarily even care if we know you or not. We'll stand together and talk and then probably never see you again but we'll have a good time while we are there with you.
We do say "Whizz" in the US. Just not as much anymore.
Yeah it looks like provolone, but I think he's saying "Cooper sharp" cheddar cheese, which I had never heard of
@@1nstantClassicit’s American cheese and it’s processed
@@pmaigotthat7211you sure about that? Its like sharp white cheddar. You can only get it from the deli counter. Its so much diff than american cheese its not even a comparison.
Cooper sharp is a well-known cheddar in the Philadelphia area.
@@zacharyricords8964 From Cooper's website:
The original, the champ. The Cooper Sharp you (and your grandparents) grew up with. Made with Milk and carefully curated aged cheeses, Cooper Sharp White is creamy, indulgent, and more perfectly melty than you remember or imagined.
* Pasteurized Process American Cheese: yum!
A hoagie has cold cuts on an Italian roll. Other places call it a submarine or hero.
A baguette is actually different then a hoagie roll or sub roll. Baguettes are a harder bread where as a hoagie or sub roll is softer bread and therefore makes a better tasting sandwich. In the US we would still consider a sub or hoagie to be a sandwich. We would say "hey I'm going to run to WaWa and pick up some sandwiches, but in reality we would all be getting hoagies. We use the term Hoagie or Subs without the word sandwich because everyone knows what they are. Similarly we would say "I'm getting a Cheesesteak" instead of saying a "Cheesesteak Sandwich". So while we all know that these things are sandwiches, we just do not tend to use the word sandwich. We reserve the word "sandwich" in conversation to primarily mean two flat slices of bread with something in between, like a grilled cheese sandwich or a ham and cheese sandwich or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a peanut butter and banana sandwich and I could go on and on. When some says can I make you a sandwich, the inference here is that it's a two slices of bread type of sandwich. Oppose to someone saying "Can I make you a hoagie" or "Can I make you a sub", which infers a hoagie or sub roll instead of two slices of bread.
She’s right when they first opened the very first one he used soft bread and the bread broke apart then they switched to crusty bread. Bingo
Cooper sharp is the best. It’s like American with a little more oomf! 🤤🤤🤤
So you’re saying it’s the best cheese in America?
@@benjamindeloney nah. Just that it’s similar to American cheese but better because it has a sharper flavor. And by best..I mean delicious. Especially in a cheese steak sub sandwich.
WAWA's has become really good. They have great sandwiches and now serve burgers and pizza which are good not the best but good,
Agreed, it's rather good now..
Hoagie/sub/hero--cold sandwich on hoagie bun/roll. Grinder is any hoagie, sub, etc. (including meatball, chicken parm, eggplant parm, etc.) that is baked in a pizza oven. Grinders are the best.
There used to be a place in the U District (UW, Seattle, WA) during the 1970s where I first tasted grinders. Mmm, they made the best. They're no longer around. (Same with Outrageous Taco in the U District. Gone, but not forgotten.)
Wawa does make some good hoagies according to my nephew. There are many Wawas here in Florida.
Nothing beats a good Publix sub
@@noelramirez1551 Publix Ultimate sub is great and it is on sale this week starting today. I will get two tomorrow for lunch.
Daz needs to go to Philly and try the best cheesesteaks and not pats or Gino's the tourist traps
I agree. Tourist traps don't do well as ones who know what they're doing. Those folks do know.
@@AC-ni4gtlol the Philly captain would know apparently John's pork and d somethings and few others are supposed to be the best but yah ppl think to go to the tourist ones
@@chrisbryz1652 if anything, I can tell that tourist traps can only do so much compared to the original. I can only compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges.
@@chrisbryz1652 Dalessandro's and yea it’s fire
He has already
Wawa is low grade? They've come a long way, and the rolls are decent now. Their hoagies are always good. Coffee is great.
Yes... wawa is low grade. Its not even close to the top for gas stations even, let alone fast food in general. Sheetz and rutters make wawa look like a freaking bodega.....
My mother was friends with Karen Carpenter in high school. She would sometimes eat lunch in the music room with Karen while she practiced. Karen was a drummer too.
Cooper is the brand of cheese. It is Cooper Sharp American Cheese. As far as I know, sharp american cheese is not available nationwide. Only in eastern Pennsylvania
15:00 eh. Maybe in the UK? They seem to think the hoagies are good at WaWa in Philly and I can also tell you they are pretty good here in Central Florida as well.
Hoagies from WaWa are passable.
3:35 in. She set him up on the giant tasty burrito... totally wiped the floor with him.
The bread at Angelo's is not crispy on the outside. It is firmer. But it is not crispy like a baguette. Baguettes are made by using high humidity in the oven. These are not that. They are not even as crispy as a New Orleans' versions of the baguette used on Po' Boys. The cheese on the second Angelo's is not provolone. It is Cooper Sharp American cheese. It is a processed quick cheese with the taste closer to a cheddar.
3:45 YOO DAZZZ CHILL!!!!! 😂😂😂
Whizz is a slang term for piss in America, I don't know what Chris was talking about.
You never heard of cheese whiz?
@@Casey28027yes but we also say “take a whizz”
In Philadelphia we call the velvetta cheese, Wiz. When you order a cheesesteak, you would say wiz with or wiz without. That is with or without onions. There are even instructions on Pats and Geno's walls on how to order a cheese steak properly.
@@pmaigotthat7211 not from my neck of the woods. That must be some of that Yankee slang.
W guess the WAWA’s I went to in Florida must have been different from the northern ones. They had fresh cut meat and cheeses fresh baked desserts all kinds of food and sandwiches fresh made in front of you and homemade soups and fresh salads. They had pre made stuff too if you were in a hurry
I'm from, Philly wawa is awesome....Don't listen to Daz he from, the UK he don't know. What he talking about
The circular cheese slices you saw were most likely provolone.
Daz is not correct. WAWA has great sandwiches. It is not low grade. It is a quick mart but it has good quality fresh food. Wawa also revamped it's locations. A hoagie is a cold cut submarine or hero sandwich. Hoagie is the popular name for a sub in the Philadelphia area. Angelo's is in South Philadelphia where many Italian restaurants, bakeries, and sandwich shops are located. Pat's and Geno's are in the same area of South Philadelphia.
The girl knows her stuff
Angelo's is great! However, there are so many other incredible cheese steak places in and around Philadelphia, D'alessandro's, John's Roast Pork, Joe's, Sonny's, Steve's. They are all different but incredible in their own right. Fun thing to do is go on a cheese steak tour of Philly. Bring your appetite! But you will definitely have a favorite by the end.
yeah I don't know about these two Korean guys, but we certainly say "take a whiz" here in the USA. I grew up in South Jersey, across the bridge from Philly, on a Dairy farm. We often took a whiz in the woods or out behind the barn. lol
Lot of people in this area like fried onions on their Cheesesteaks. Then there's always the debate of ketchup or mustard or both.
Daz is incorrect here… Wawa is the most magical place on Earth!
Wawa is completely different in America. They have really good food. Its not low grade and it's definitely better than other fast food places.
The best cheesesteaks I had in Philly were from the food trucks on the campus of Temple University. Ah, my undergrad years.
The comment about eating less of these as you get older is a fact.
I used to eat cheesesteaks almost every week in my 20's and 30's, I just turned 60 and I haven't had a cheesesteak in a year.
They make you fat.
But they are so decadent and yummy, I miss em.
It all starts with the bread, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside.
And the meat has to be sliced and diced so it's easily digestible.
I have mine with marinara sauce, mushrooms, fried onions and Provolone cheese.
Forever Philly.
Wizz isnt the classic most ppl get provolone or American wizz is more s tourist thing aswell
No, what you aren't getting Daz is that Wawa is a store where you'd get pre-made stuff. It's not a fast food store. Think of it as a store full of stuff fresher but would come out of a vending machine.
I'm drooling just watching this.
*I Just left Wawa near my house in Philly, its really a late night get all spot. I got Gas, Gummie Bears, Iced Coffee, Panini, watermelon chunks, Cigarettes and blunt wraps for my Weed.*
Proper Wawa haul. Breakfast edition: swap the panini for the SEC sizzli biscuit, good piece of business right there
Breads gotts be a lil crusty if its to soft it goes into mush
Wizz cheese come from the canned stuff. But it was made from unspecified cheese lol before it was ever canned. Right. Onions sautéed to perfection add a lot of flavor. Crispy bread on outside. Soft on inside.. small amount of ground black pepper. At the end of grilling. It’s also good to grill the bread 2 or 3 minutes to toast and soak up the juices and flavors
Angelos does not have seating. They are a strictly take-out restaurant. The place is small so people are waiting for their orders. Geno's and Pat's have outdoor seating. They are open all night.
sometimes they say their guest is a friend of theirs and then proceed to have the most awkward chemistry ever lmao
you thought this was awkward?
@@Vendrix86 no, i think they interact with each other like people who barely know each other. the situation wasnt awkward but the chemistry was. the vibes were definitely off
Cheese steaks are my favorite.❤❤❤
I'm making Philly Cheesesteaks for dinner tonight!
daz droolin
That cheese is Cooper Sharp White American Cheese and it's really good! It's great for cheesesteaks and cheeseburgers because the mild sharpness to it makes it pair really nicely with beef. It's quickly become a favorite of my husband and I. We've been trying to sub it in and have found it making most recipes next level good. The only thing we didn't care for so far was grilled cheese as it's a bit overpowering on it's on but I'm sure if you mix it with something it'd be good as well.
WAWA has good sandwiches. Around Thanksgiving they have a bowl with mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy and cranberry sauce and that is delicious.
Daz is wrong about buying food from a WAWA. It would be like buying a sandwich or burger from a higher end SubShop. We have Sheetz and GetGo's here in Pittsburgh that serve up good food. They don't have gas stations like we do here in the States. You can buy gas and get a good sub. It's to competitive here for anyone to think about serving a crappy sandwich.
I would love to see what type of sandwiches y'all get! What he was describing with the rocket or arugula sounded really good actually!
That bread is the best most crispy bread will break on the back side but not hilly bread
As an American, I also had the same reaction to the first sandwich bread looking a bit too crispy. I definitely prefer a soft roll, slightly toasted I can do, but a crunchy roll I find just hurts my mouth haha. Soft rolls soaks up the flavor far better!
Wawa is quicker than any Deli or chain.
I make a cheesesteak with provolone, onions, mushrooms, green pepper and jalapeños. I pre-toast the inside of the hoagie rolls with granulated dry garlic and butter so it’s basically on garlic bread. I know it isn’t authentic. 🤷🏻♀️
It's funny to see the difference between there and here in California. I'm used to seeing cheesesteak with grilled onions, bell peppers and melted swiss cheese. My family's from Western PA and I know the meat is always so much better on the east coast. By the way, I share your love for Karen Carpenter, Gaynor!
There's three key ingredients to a great cheesesteak - the roll, the meat, and the cheese. While that sounds stupid and obvious, as a local tour guide, history buff, and foodie/cook here in Philly, I can tell you even places here, but especially around the world, get this simple sandwich wrong.
The roll, which we call a hoagie or steak roll in Philly, needs to be super crisp (not like a 5 day old french baguette crisp) to help trap the ingredients, outside, and super soft inside to sop up all of the juices from the meat (and onions if you get them) as well as the melted cheese. Having the wrong roll is what about 49% of places do to make it a bad sandwich.
The meat needs to be paper thin slices. Here in Philly, most legit places, even the local neighborhood pizza/sandwich shops, used Ribeye steaks that have been frozen, and then cut on a deli slicer, as you would with any cold cut or lunch meat. If it's a good cut of meat and properly sliced thin, you can put it down on the griddle frozen as it will only take a few minutes, I mean 3-4, to get to the right spot. You want the meat perfectly medium. No red/pink, but DEFINITELY not medium well or well done. Some places like Geno's or Steve's Prince of Steaks in Philly will literally leave the slices as the are and some people prefer that. Other places, like Pat's (who invented it in the 1930's) will "chop", or pull the slices about into finer and finer pieces. You don't need it to be mince meat thin, but chopping it up, in my humble opinion, gives it a better mouth feel as you can just bite into the sandwich, chew a few times quickly, and boom, ready for another slice whereas the places that don't chop it up, the pieces of meat can be harder to chew and then you end up chewing on the meat long past when the part of the roll, the onions (or other toppings), in that bite you just took have already made it to your stomach. The meat is what about 49% of places get wrong. Hell, I've even scene celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsey use "steak" - and leave the pieces of meat so thick that you'd think you were eating a literal steak on a roll. It's disgusting.
The other key ingredient is the cheese. Liquid Cheese Wiz, American (sliced or in liquid form), and Provolone all work. Specific versions of American - like Cooper Sharp, and Provolone give them a much more sophisticated taste, for a sandwich, as does adding a bit of your favorite toppings - fried onions, fried/warmed pickle slices (not whole damn spears), and/or very finely cut and fried peppers (hot or mild doesn't matter). NEVER put Cheddar, Swiss, or anything else on it for the authentic taste/flavor. US Presidential candidate John Kerry was mocked on local/national media back in 2004 for coming to Philly and trying to order one with Swiss....lol. The cheese is usually only wrong about 2% of the time.
You can put some ketchup on it. NEVER mustard, never mayo (in my opinion)....and never anything else in terms of condiments. The ketchup, more is okay for kids, should be just enough to help aid in softening up the roll and adding a little bit of acidity and tang to the meat/cheese/onion flavor. You don't drown the damn thing in ketchup once you're 13 or older.
And if you ever come to Philly, the proper way to order is "# of cheesesteaks in this style", the cheese style, with or without (wit or witout) fried onions, and then if you want to add pickles, peppers, or something that comes next. Some places have condiments and veggies (besides onions) out for you to add at your leisure. If you don't see them, then would end the order with veggies (if you want any) and then you can ask for ketchup (or not) on it.
So a proper order would sound like "yeah hi, can I get 1 (insert "cheesesteak if the place sells more than that", american, wit, fried pickles (if they have them), ketchup please. Then can I get 1, whiz, witout, light ketchup). Boom, that simple.
I haven't been to Philly but I had some good ones and I enjoyed the flavors of their cheesesteaks.
Green peppers and onions
11:54 See what happens when you assume that you know your cheeses? 😂
Looks like provolone, mozzarella, gouda, swiss etc, but surprise, it’s Cooper Sharp (American white cheddar).
US pasteurized cheeses are typically mild or sharp cheddar and can be white, yellow or orange in color.
The flavor and the melting consistency make a lot of difference on a burger or a sandwich.
I keep forgetting that you guys don’t really care for bread that’s baked or toasted on the outside and softer in the middle.
We love baked Italian loaves, bruschetta, brotchen, chibatta rolls, panini bread, hoagie rolls, biscuits, dinner rolls, soft pretzels, bagels, toasted English muffins, etc; all of which has the tougher chewy or crisp baked outside with the soft white yeast risen bread inside.
There are as many varieties of bread as there are cheeses and condiment combinations.
you guys should buy sandwiches and show people! i'd love to see the kinds of sandwiches that are common in the UK. i've only been once years ago, but i can't remember the type of food i ate other than the traditional english breakfast
in the northeast we call a hoagie a grinder
Daz you are wrong, wawa has great food!! Its freshly made kinda like Bucees is
Wawa's isn't low grade, it's amazing....they have awesome subs/sandwiches/soups, everything!! We also had it in Florida too
Amoroso rolls only!
WAWA makes a great caramel cheesecake smoothie!
Gaynor you do know that Karen Carpenter was rated as one of the best drummers in the world 😂
I know, but generally most people know the lead singer more than the drummer. 😊
I live within 1 hr of philly since 1980, and love cheese steaks, but never tried Pat's or Gino's
We Americans absolutely say WIZZ for taking a pee or piss🏴☠️
So Cheez Whiz is American cheese and 90% of the other cheesesteaks cheese would be provolone.
Just sending some info based on Gaynor saying the Cooper Sharp was American cheese (which it is).
Before they said it was CS I thought it was provo (shape & color) 😊
Good video 👏👏👏👏👏❤
We do say wizz in America. Mostly us a little older though
Wawa and Sheetz do put more effort into their fast food than most gas stations or rest stops, but yeah it’s not objectively great. just really really good for a gas station
Drive over the Walt Whitman to Tony Luke's .
Born & raised in Philly, we’re cheesesteak snobs. We don’t fall for the tourist traps.
I’ve heard wiz for using the bathroom. I personally do not like cheese wiz on my steaks or fries. I only like American cheese, mayo & mushrooms on my steaks. Everyone likes them with different things on them.
Wawa and their west side competitor Sheetz are both great.
They're not Buccees level in terms of size and perhaps sheer amount of items to buy and or ready to eat.
But the food is honestly good. A step above a typical fastfood joint depending on your order. Personally i have family in West Pennsylvania so I can only really speak on Sheetz. Their food is above fastfood whether it be some buffalo fried chicken bites, a cold cut hoagie, or a milkshake. They have mostly all the other stuff a normal gas station/convenience store in America does. Most people seem to prefer Wawa more but I've only been twice and can't comment on them lol. Buccees is clearly the gold standard for American gas stations it seems but I definitely wouldn't sleep on a Wawa and or Sheetz. And even other lesser competitors like Racetrac, QuikTrip, (im sure plenty more regional ones)... Those seem to be morre for standard convenience store fare but still are impressively clean/well stocked for an unassuming gas station.
Cooper Sharp is a variety of American cheese sold exclusively in the north east of the states. It is high quality, creamy yet sharp cheese that is absolutely beautiful.
Wawa is known for its hoagies and other food selections. The quality of Wawa has risen over the years. Their hoagies arent the best but for a gas station, it is good.
I moved away from PA in 1990 and still miss Cooper Sharp :(
Have you guys watched? The 25 best national parks in the US.
Cooper sharp is the shit!!! Its got a nice sharpness to it. Similar to sharp white cheddar.
Also, i approve of franks hot sauce on a cheesesteak. You can put that shit on everything.
For me it's Cuban sandwich, then bahn-mi, then Philly.
Broad & Erie in Philly. Nuff said.
Must have onions and bell peppers
Need to go to delassandros or Jim’s. I believe the two best.
6:27 Daz Quagmire 🤣
NGL Rocket is a 1000% better name for arugula. I always associated it with pretentious chefs though. For no reason whatsoever.
Cheesesteaks are so great, with the juices softening the bread and the cheese making it stick together so you can get a massive bite in.
We most certainly do say wizz in America. "Taking a wizz" is slang for a piss. When I was a kid it was mostly my white friends that used it though. Maybe its a NYC thing and not in Philly.
Angelos is my favorite cheesesteak personally. But don’t get whiz, get cooper sharp cheese. And yeah Genos & Pats suck. If u wanna go just to say you’ve been then I get it but understand it’s seen as a very touristy thing by locals. I do really like the cheese fries at Genos tho. Id love to see these guys in Philly. I feel like Philly is a lot more similar to english cities than they realize but soooo american at the same time.
Wawa is invading western Pennsylvania
And as a transplanted Philly-area person, I am hanging on every news update about when the next west-northwestern PA Wawa location will be graving us 😅😂. It will help cure my homesickness a little! 😂
@@mariewagner5283 Learn to love Sheetz MTO. Wawa can't do fries!
Go to RU Hungry for fat sandwiches in new brunswick nj.
Roger Taylor--good God! You have Ginger Baker from Cream, John Bonham from Zep, Keith Moon from the Who, and Ringo from the Beatles just off the top of my head--all great British drummers--and Gaynor(ah) comes out with Roger God-help-us-all Taylor of Duran Duran. Yikes. Daz, you've got to get your clan some real music to listen to.
I love that you’re watching Jolly. I always like seeing Brits try American food. As someone who visited the UK, I have to admit, your food is grim. Sorry but I don’t understand how your empire conquered tons of places with seasoning and all you brought back was curry! Haha.
Our food? What was you eating? Most restaurants are of foreign origin like Italian, Spanish, Indian, Korean etc. if you visited us I couldn’t tell you of a British restaurant tbf.
@@officeblokedaz we sought out local places because like you’ve said, what’s the point of travel if you just eat what you can get at home? We never got to Manchester though.
Spray cheese and cheese whiz have almost the same exact ingredients....
Cucumber and cream cheese sandwich…. Yummy 🚶🏾♂️
(That’s sarcasm)
"No one knows who the drummer is": Dave Grohl, Lars Ulrich, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Travis Barker, Taylor Hawkins, Neil Peart, FUKKIN' Ringo Starr.
As Daz said, Phil Collins
And don't forget, Don Henley. But, nobody knows who the drummer is. 😂
please get Aiden out of the basement more often , he seems not to know anything.
Yes. He's like an 8 year old. He's often negatively weirded out because it's something he's never encountered/heard of (which, apparently, is a lot)
That bread is not crispy. It’s soft.
I prefer provolone or American cheese
I think most people know Roger Taylor the drummer from Queen. Obviously a different Roger Taylor than the one from Duran Duran.
Make your own that’s what it’s all about
Crusty bread for me , I can't stand soft mushy bread . On your point about WAWA , I almost never go to any fast food chain, I always go to either a deli,a diner , or a family owned restaurant
