Fellow nova scotian here!!! Fried balogna was a regular meal!! I heard maple leaf brand makes a distinctive flavor for us east coasters, not sure if true!!
Growing up in Binghamton, NY I grew up in an Eastern European neighborhood. One of the neighborhood bars (Yonda's) put out free food every weeknight around 10 PM (while the old men played cards or pool). One of his specialties was bologna sandwiches....this brought back some great memories! RIP Yonda and bologna :) Also grew up on them because they were fast and cheap so my Polish Grandma made them all of the time.
Wow Arlene! This sounds EXACATLY like what Jimmy does! I know I gave him a hard time in the video but,,, in a way it is sort of heart warming. Sharing free food with friends and family. Sounds like a great experience you had back then! Thank you for watching and for sharing! Cheers! -N
Never tried fried "thin" bologna slices, ours were always very thick. We need to give these a try as they are like you guys said, quick and easy. Also love the new introduction video!
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the introduction video and I hope you give the fried thin bologna slices a try. They're definitely a quick and easy treat that's worth trying out. Happy cooking! 😊 -N
Fried bologna sandwiches are great! That was a frequent lunch when we were kids. We'd fry each slice individually, not in stacks. I've never tried one with bacon or cheese. We always had them plain, but I have a freakish aversion to mustard.
Hi Ryan! Thanks for sharing your childhood lunch memories, and I hope you try adding bacon and cheese for a delicious twist (sans mustard, of course). 😜 And thanks for taking the time to comment! we appreciate it! -N
My dad never cooked but he did make us 6 kids fried Bologna sandwiches on Sunday. We loved them. Our were fried in a bit of butter and put on white bread or hard rolls. No other things on them except mustard for those who like it. 40+ years later he still cooks them and my sibs make them too. Great memories you brought to mind!
Hey Nate Jeff wow that is awesome I never had that a so fast to make definitely make this for sure Thank you guys love you guys Take Care … Hey Chris 💪🏻❤️👍✌️
1/4" thick cut of bologna is the best but you have to make cuts on the edges so it does not curl and leave a burn mark in the middle. One of the longest food lines at the California Farm Show is for fried bologna sandwiches.
I’ve had fried bologna sandwiches but never with cheese, salami or bacon. Wow, what an epiphany, I’m going to try all of them on one bun. Thanks for the inside track for this sandwich. You guys never fail to deliver. Also, like the new opening video splash!
Great to hear from you KC! We're happy to hear that we could inspire you to take your sandwich game to the next level. We appreciate your kind words about our video and the new opening video splash. Thanks for your comment and happy sandwich making! P.S. Thanks for being a subscriber! -N
love the new intro boyz, when it comes to showing Chris: You should have no music, but chirping birds and a blank screen. Fried bologna sandwiches are the bomb cooking them for years
Thanks for the kind words William!! I honestly can't believe I have never had one before. I was really surprised by how good they are. Both of them, outstanding! We will def be making them again! Thanks for being a sub! Griddle on bud! -N
I actually made a Boujee Bologna Sandwich recipe video today. That's actually how I found this video. I was looking to see what other bologna sandwich videos are on UA-cam. I'd like to be a contender next time you have a fried bologna sandwich cook off. Nice vid Gents, subscribed.
Good to hear from you Bobbi! Hope your doing well! I agree with you, Offering the free food would bring more of a family / community atmosphere. He watched the video and loved it lol. Hope your week flies by and your weekend is great Bobbi! -N
As a Canadian when we go to Montreal we get smoked meat sandwiches, didn't know fried bologna was popular there. Fried bologna is called a Newfie steak. When we make fried bologna we fry both sides, add to toast and top with ketchup
Ketchup!!! :D Ketchup???? LOL, now that is one that I have never tried! Interesting combo. I am going to try it next week! and see if the kids like it! thanks for suggesting Jennifer! Salut! -N
I've had fried baloney before with mayo and I liked it but when I heard Tom T Hall sing about hot baloney eggs and gravy on "A Week In A Country Jail" I wanted to try that but never did but after watching this I might give it a go.
Great to hear from you Bat! I can't guarantee you will be as impressed as I was but.... Both were a heck of alot better tasting than I was expecting. So good in fact I plan to make them again! As always we appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! -N
Grew up with Fried bologna sandwiches, local butcher shop had garlic bologna and it was sliced a lot thicker. We would cut 3-4 slits on the outside so it would fry flat and cooked each piece separately! Cheese or no cheese but usually with ketchup!
Sounds great! Sadly I have never seen garlic bologna in my area so I may never get the chance to try this. If I do come across it though, I will def be all over it! Thanks for taking the time to post Phil! Griddle on bud! -N
Hi Yo Pops! Thank you for your comment! Your way of slicing the bologna sounds interesting and I'm sure it adds a unique texture. Your sandwich sounds delicious, and I appreciate the idea. Happy cooking! 😊 -N
I am jealous! Our breakfast was generic cheerios lol. This sandwich is way better lol. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share yourt hougths Michael! -N
Fried balogna makes an awesome sandwich. I make my own balogna and salami, and (sorry about patting myself on the back) its even better than what you get in the deli. I cut it at least ¼" thick, and an egg is awesome. If you really want to take it to another level, fried balogna grilled with egg and cheese. Delish.
There is a local country general store/ deli that serves one called the big Wayne. Extra thick sliced bologna served with cheese. Kinda like a grilled cheese. It is Awesome 😎. Toppings to order. Yes they grill the bologna then make it a grilled cheese.
Hi Chad! Thank you for your comment! The Big Wayne sounds absolutely delicious. I'll have to keep an eye out for a local country general store/deli next time I'm craving a hearty sandwich. Happy eating! 😊 -N
Wielenskys was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. It’s bologna (quality) and salami with cheese and mustard. It goes welll with a sweet beverage. You guys missed the cheese and being there the bread was something different and so amazing. I’ve tried to replicate 5-6 times and failed.
Hi Teed, this is Nate, jeff didn't even eat it the next day! He gave them to his son! who loved them BTW lol. But,,, gotta give him credit. Guy has been a ROCK when it comes to his diet. i am super impressed. I will pass along your comment to him! Thanks for watching and griddle on! -N
I love fried bologna sandwiches. I sometimes go to the deli and get 1/2" slices, but most often 3 or 4 regular ones. American cheese is a must, as it mustard on untoasted white bread. Gooooood!
Good to hear from you Howard! Hope you are well! Thanks for watching and sharing your love for fried bologna sandwiches! Your method of getting 1/2" slices from the deli sounds like a great idea. I also agree that American cheese and mustard are essential ingredients for a delicious sandwich. Appreciate the tip! Griddle on bud! -N
When I lived in Ohio there was (don't know if it's still there) a place called The Red Door Tavern. They had a fried baloney sandwich called the hobo steak sandwich. I never had it. Call me strange but I despise baloney. I won't eat it. Keep up the good work, watching your videos is always enjoyable. I just looked it up, the sandwich is called "Sally's Hillbilly Burger. Lol. The menu said its topped with pepper cheese, lettuce and tomato on a kaiser bun.
Hi Steve! Thanks for being a subscriber and for taking the time to comment! We appreciate it! More to come! Next up is Chris turning out some pizza's! Should be posted on Friday! Cheers! -N
I spent a few days in jail in Tampa in 1961 they gave us one slice of bologna between two slices of stale white bread in a wonder bread wrapper. Haven't had bologna since. I also have some funny stories about Taylor Ham {pork roll} and Spam neither of which I could ever eat again.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Jose! Happy to hear it was only a few days lol! yah that does not sound like a good sandwich or a good experience. I have never heard of taylor ham. I just looked it up.... interesting product,,, I think??? :D Anyhow, thank you for watching and griddle on bud! -N
Try "Plain Loaf" - It has a different taste. Fry 3/4 slices separately, flipped once. Then stack them with a slice of Provolone in the middle. Put them on toast with whatever condiment you desire!
Love a fried bologna egg & cheese. Haven’t tried it like these though Fried kielbasa is good too! But you need a good quality kielbasa Also, the bbq pit boys grilled some thick cut bologna a few times Haven’t tried it myself, but it looks good
Thanks for watching my video! I'm glad you enjoyed the fried bologna, egg, and cheese sandwich. Fried kielbasa sounds like a delicious alternative as well, as long as you have good quality kielbasa. I'll have to check out the BBQ Pit Boys' grilled bologna recipe too. Thanks for the suggestion! Cheers! -N
Try to smoke a whole Bologna chub then eat as it is for a game day appetizers or slice across the chub in ¼ inch slices and Make a fried bologna sandwiches that will knock you socks off. I believe most people don't understand the goodness of Bolonga because they only think of plan Oscar Mayer bologna on white bread. It is truly an under rated luncheon meat that don't get the recognition it deserves. Check these videos out where people go out of the norm and cook by smoking the whole chub of bologna. Each video present Bologna in a whole new way. Great for parties and the left overs make great fired bologna sandwiches. Consider these in you cooks I know they are not griddle ideas but I do believe it worth the try if nothing more than make some fried bologna sandwiches with them similar to the Catcher's Mitt and the Wilensky’s.. I saw a video done with the small clubs and some where also on the fatties they wove a Bacon into a mat, then wrapped the mat around the chub and smoked it. For a couple hour for the small and loger on the bigger ones however I would think a light wrap with the pink butcher paper would keep the bacon from over cooking and I would use a thick bacon for the mat. I can't find the recipe to send you. I do a version of it on my electric smoker for about 2 hrs on the small chubs and use a mustard as a mositer barrier to keep it from drying out. Keep the temperature about 225°F until the internal reaches about 170-180°F. Smoke with pecan, apple, or cherry wood or a combination. The larger chub or Fatties take a additional time and a lot of bacon to make the mat. This won't be cheap to do with the cost of two package of thick bacon and a whole large Fatty, so I tend to do the smaller chubs. But however you will enjoy every bite. And like I say use it the next day to make a great fried bologna sandwich.

Wow!!! Amazing amount of info here! Smoking the chub is def on my list of to-do's. I just have to get my deck finished so I can get the Z Grills pellet smoker fired up again. In my head I struggle with smoking a processed meat product that has already been smoked once but.... From these videos I just have to give it a try! Thanks for the trove of info Rick! Cheers! -N :D
That's a lot of salami for a bologna sandwich, I'd have to go with The Catcher's Mitt, but without the bacon. (And, for the record, I LOVE bacon) I do a similar sandwich at home with mortadella... You should give that a try!
As always great to hear from you 2 wheels! I was thinking the same thing, they call it a bologna sandwich but it has alot of salami on it,,, in the end it worked for me though. Had a nice bold flavor. Mortadella is great! Love that stuff and will def give it a try! Cheers bud! -N
your a man after my own heart William! I LOVE mayo! had to keep to the recipe though, at least once,, next time mayo all the way! Thanks for watching! -N
Love the new opening sequences. I grew up with fried bologna and fried salami, but surprisingly, never on the same sandwich...who knew??!! My father would fry them, cut them up and put them in scrambled eggs for us. To this day, I love frying them. Even if it's just to eat them by themselves. Great, easy and quick cook!
Whats up OldeT?! Thanks for being a sub!! I'm glad you enjoyed the new opening sequences and it's always interesting to hear about different ways people enjoy fried bologna and salami. Frying them and adding them to scrambled eggs is a great idea, and I appreciate you sharing your experience. Happy cooking! 😊 - N
Fun video, nice job! Hey, Weber has a couple new griddles in their lineup now. Would you guys consider reviewing one or at least trying one out? Weber's got a huge following....
Thanks for being a subscriber Bama! Yup we saw the new webber griddle and have reached out to them. Hopefully they are open to working together. They generally make real nice stuff so we can't wait to see what they did for the griddle! Cheers! -N
Hey guys really enjoy watching your channel. I would like to no the name of the torch Chris bought and where to get one. Thanks oh congratulations to Jeff great job. Thanks again
Sorry for the delay. It's a grillblazer. Good quality and a family run business. We have met them personally. Great group of folks. Link to the GrillBlazer Torch with a 10% discount: grillblazer.com/discount/Griddle
I have bologna in the fridge for Fried Bologna. I do a version of a Tortilla Crunch wrap as well as bread. I like to toast the bread or bun. Sometime with a smear of mayo or ither times real butter to toast the bread. Sometimes mayo sometimes mustard and other the combination of both. Has to have onions I like red pickled onions but regular onions sliced thin. Pickle Italian peppers or pickled Jalapeno Cheese good old American, but I use some times pepper jack, cheddar or Swiss. Now the bologna it needs to be almost a ¼ inch but the precut super thick two slices. Now in the morning like Jeff said a fried egg off the hook. I say fry the bologna and experiment with the condiments cheese and breads the sky is the limit of the possibilities. I wouldn't eat them all the time but they can be addictive. Almost for got shake some seasoning on you bologna as it fries garlic, onions, celery salts, and some black pepper to taste. I like to try various blend for a change up. The key is the browning of the bologna not black but brown it brings out the flavor. Maybe some lettuce and sliced tomatoes. But there is nothing wrong with with a plain white bread fried bologna with melted American cheese and mayo with a thin slice of onion. I think it is an overlooked unrated luncheon meat that has great potential in the hand of a creative cook. It a very simple but complex luncheon meat in the right hand. Don't be afraid to try mortadella or a good German bologna not just the American made version of bologna. And what does taste better than bacon on anything I also like to do a fried Cotto Salami with the whole black pepper corns processed with the meat, and that a whole neither thing. But in short fry it like bologna and experiment to you hearts content. My favorite rye ir pumpernickel bread either sauerkraut or fresh sliced onions a good smear german mustard and some fresh horseradish serve on top of a melted Swiss on the fried Salami. Dang now I hungry and it is close to dinner time. I will have to make it tomorrow maybe one of each.
Hi Rick,,, you got me thinking with all these suggestions! Love it! I am going to work in a "sandwich night" to the weekly meal plan! quick, tasty and easy! good call! -N
if the salami outnumbers the bologna, it's a salami sandwich. You need a chub of bologna, cut thick and fried up with a butt-ton of mustard on it. That's how it rolls where I live!
I've never tried adding fried liverwurst with ketchup before, but it sounds like a tasty addition to the sandwich. I'm glad to hear you enjoy it, and I appreciate you sharing your experience with me. Thanks again for your comment! Cheers! -N
Great video as always guys ....look up my old home town in Ohio G & R Tavern's Fried Bologna: Historic Ohio Food Establishments You have one of those Bologna you will want one every day :)
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion of G & R Tavern's Fried Bologna in Ohio! We'll definitely have to check it out. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the video and appreciate your comment. Thanks again! -N
What up Hogzilla! Hope your doing well!!! Alright, Mexican hats you say?! Looks like a-googling-I-go lol! who knows that might be an new video! Will check it out and thanks for the suggestion! That Cubano you did was the bomb! For anyone looking to make a top notch cubano for a crowd, check this: ua-cam.com/video/Roxn4XII3Xg/v-deo.html -N
thick bologna slices fried, oh yeah grew up on that and, you know....wait for it....SPAM! Yeah, we were poor and this stuff was regular, along with fish sticks and pork-n-beans
OMG your comment just stirred u a ton of memories for me! Fish sticks and Pork and beans were a staple in my house growing up! lol. Neither are a gourmet meal but they both bring back happy thoughts! Thanks Mike :D Cheers! -N
I like to buy a round of bologna (3 or 4 lb) and smoke on my pellet smoker. To prep Slice about 1/2” grooves around about 1” apart and rub on some mustard and some seasoning. Then slice at least 1/4” thick and fry on my griddle.
Love your YT name lol. After tasting it, IMO it's worth a trip to the market. Try the cooked salami with it.(not genoa) it was really impressive. thanks for being a sub! it helps us alot! Griddle on so wright! :D -N
Best of luck with the diet Michael! I (nate) am also trying to drop a few! Jeff posted a final synopsis of his diet last friday. Here is the linkL: ua-cam.com/video/gvpQgZZGoiQ/v-deo.html
Hi Keith! thanks for being a subscriber.... The bird's name,,, is as straightforward as it gets lol Tweety! :D My son decided on that in all of 1/100th of a second lol. Griddle on bud! -N
😂🤣, it's 330am, got woken up by girlfriend for some reason☺️🥳🤐, frying bologna and this popped up on UA-cam lol, making a grilled cheese with fried bologna, American cheese, tomato and a perfect runny egg(lightly sunnyside so yolk don't cook melting cheese, roasting bread, chipotle aioli(Jared), might have another after? But wish had all 3, looks delicious, wish had salami now, have my own cured bacon but frozen lol, How crazy is this, doing egg now, assembling to toast bread fast, and done, wish had all 3 lol. Tyvm guys, will put bacon in fridge, this is crazy, great video, perfect time👍
Thanks for the kind words Ron! We appreciate it! 😀 Crazy coincidence on the video timing lol. Now just so I get this right, you made yourself a grilled cheese with banana, tomato and an egg? now THAT is an interesting combo! Love it! Griddle on bud! -N
@@TheGriddleGuys 🤭, oops lol, supposed to be bologna 😂🤣, I just edited it lol, yes was funny, when I make something later after things in bedroom lol, I look at my UA-cam homepage,, and this was there lol. Tyvm. Might think of fried banana on grilled cheese now 🤣😂
@@TheGriddleGuys The bread: Top secret and made specially for the eatery. Under the press, the squashed cornmeal-dusted bun looks like a Kaiser roll crossed with an English muffin.
I asked around when I saw this at work, what people thought of this sandwich. everyone was like hell no, most said they wouldn't even try it lol. Well I would try it, I mean how bad could it be, I'm 40 years old in a couple months and I've never had balogna before. But I'd have to say there's many other meats I'd make this sandwich with before bologna, just sayin
If only we could! Saw that online, looks delicious! I have never had the opportunity to have one of those handmade cherry cokes. I would love to try it! I may take a trip to Montreal down the road, when i do, def going to Wilenskys!! Thanks for watching Chuck! -N
Fried baloney sandwich is a very simple sandwich... Don't over complicate it. Just a decent roll, four or five slices of baloney, sauteed onions, American cheese.... Call it a day!
All wrong. Bologna sandwiches are NOT made with slices of bologna you buy pre-cut. They are cut from a at least a two-foot roll of bologna at least 1/4 inch thick. I prefer at least a 1/2 inch thick piece of bologna. You all need to go to southeastern Arkansas and catch up on how to make a proper bologna sandwich. It has to be fried, either on the griddle, frying pan, or deep fat fried. I prefer mine fried on a hot griddle, slightly charred. The results you get with those prissy sliced pieces are NOT what I would call a bologna sandwich. You can go to any deli department, and they can cut a couple of pounds thick sliced for you. Plus, you will have a choice of garlic bologna, beef bologna, Dutch style Pennsylvania bologna. I just came from my deli dept at the grocery store. I think they have at least a half dozen types of bolognas.
Hi Charley, He was on a trip. Several folks suggested smoking the chub. Once I get my zgrills pellet smoker back up on the deck I plan to do it. Seems odd to re-smoke an already smoked meat product but so many have said it that we have to give it a try. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment! Cheers bud! -N
Love fried bologna, but I like it crispy fried!
Love the new open! Keep up the great videos.
Thanks so much for the kind words Mike! Griddle on buddy!

We used to buy the bologna in log form and cut 1/4 inch thick slices, cut it like a 4 leaf clover and fry it. Mayo tomato lettuce, perfect

Good stuff! Greetings from Norway
Norway! That is so cool! Thanks for checking in! Cheers to you Private! :D -N

Wielenskys was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. It’s bologna (quality) and salami with cheese and mustard. It goes welll with a sweet beverage. You guys missed the cheese and being there the bread was something different and so amazing. I’ve tried to replicate 5-6 times and failed.
That's it ! I'll never stop before I try the wielensky!
Jeff, you're a stronger man than I. Hope you enjoyed that for breakfast the next morning, and put an egg on it! 🤣
Hi Teed, this is Nate, jeff didn't even eat it the next day! He gave them to his son! who loved them BTW lol. But,,, gotta give him credit. Guy has been a ROCK when it comes to his diet. i am super impressed. I will pass along your comment to him! Thanks for watching and griddle on! -N
@@TheGriddleGuys Thanks for the reply, Nate! Love you guys. 🤙🏼
I love fried bologna sandwiches. I sometimes go to the deli and get 1/2" slices, but most often 3 or 4 regular ones. American cheese is a must, as it mustard on untoasted white bread. Gooooood!
Good to hear from you Howard! Hope you are well! Thanks for watching and sharing your love for fried bologna sandwiches! Your method of getting 1/2" slices from the deli sounds like a great idea. I also agree that American cheese and mustard are essential ingredients for a delicious sandwich. Appreciate the tip! Griddle on bud! -N
Can yall do a smoke Bologna.
Hi Paul,,, A ton of people have suggested this. Answer is yes, at some point we will! Thanks for watching! -N
When I lived in Ohio there was (don't know if it's still there) a place called The Red Door Tavern. They had a fried baloney sandwich called the hobo steak sandwich. I never had it. Call me strange but I despise baloney. I won't eat it. Keep up the good work, watching your videos is always enjoyable. I just looked it up, the sandwich is called "Sally's Hillbilly Burger. Lol. The menu said its topped with pepper cheese, lettuce and tomato on a kaiser bun.
Hi Steve! Thanks for being a subscriber and for taking the time to comment! We appreciate it! More to come! Next up is Chris turning out some pizza's! Should be posted on Friday! Cheers! -N
I spent a few days in jail in Tampa in 1961 they gave us one slice of bologna between two slices of stale white bread in a wonder bread wrapper. Haven't had bologna since. I also have some funny stories about Taylor Ham {pork roll} and Spam neither of which I could ever eat again.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Jose! Happy to hear it was only a few days lol! yah that does not sound like a good sandwich or a good experience. I have never heard of taylor ham. I just looked it up.... interesting product,,, I think??? :D Anyhow, thank you for watching and griddle on bud! -N
I think frying each slice separately and getting some char would greatly enhance the flavor experience
Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your suggestion and will definitely consider it for my next cooking video. Happy cooking! Griddle onbud! -N
Try "Plain Loaf" - It has a different taste. Fry 3/4 slices separately, flipped once. Then
stack them with a slice of Provolone in the middle. Put them on toast with whatever condiment you desire!
Love a fried bologna egg & cheese. Haven’t tried it like these though
Fried kielbasa is good too! But you need a good quality kielbasa
Also, the bbq pit boys grilled some thick cut bologna a few times
Haven’t tried it myself, but it looks good
Thanks for watching my video! I'm glad you enjoyed the fried bologna, egg, and cheese sandwich. Fried kielbasa sounds like a delicious alternative as well, as long as you have good quality kielbasa. I'll have to check out the BBQ Pit Boys' grilled bologna recipe too. Thanks for the suggestion! Cheers! -N
Try to smoke a whole Bologna chub then eat as it is for a game day appetizers or slice across the chub in ¼ inch slices and Make a fried bologna sandwiches that will knock you socks off. I believe most people don't understand the goodness of Bolonga because they only think of plan Oscar Mayer bologna on white bread. It is truly an under rated luncheon meat that don't get the recognition it deserves. Check these videos out where people go out of the norm and cook by smoking the whole chub of bologna. Each video present Bologna in a whole new way. Great for parties and the left overs make great fired bologna sandwiches. Consider these in you cooks I know they are not griddle ideas but I do believe it worth the try if nothing more than make some fried bologna sandwiches with them similar to the Catcher's Mitt and the Wilensky’s..
I saw a video done with the small clubs and some where also on the fatties they wove a Bacon into a mat, then wrapped the mat around the chub and smoked it. For a couple hour for the small and loger on the bigger ones however I would think a light wrap with the pink butcher paper would keep the bacon from over cooking and I would use a thick bacon for the mat. I can't find the recipe to send you.
I do a version of it on my electric smoker for about 2 hrs on the small chubs and use a mustard as a mositer barrier to keep it from drying out. Keep the temperature about 225°F until the internal reaches about 170-180°F. Smoke with pecan, apple, or cherry wood or a combination. The larger chub or Fatties take a additional time and a lot of bacon to make the mat. This won't be cheap to do with the cost of two package of thick bacon and a whole large Fatty, so I tend to do the smaller chubs. But however you will enjoy every bite. And like I say use it the next day to make a great fried bologna sandwich.

Wow!!! Amazing amount of info here! Smoking the chub is def on my list of to-do's. I just have to get my deck finished so I can get the Z Grills pellet smoker fired up again. In my head I struggle with smoking a processed meat product that has already been smoked once but.... From these videos I just have to give it a try! Thanks for the trove of info Rick! Cheers! -N :D
That's a lot of salami for a bologna sandwich, I'd have to go with The Catcher's Mitt, but without the bacon. (And, for the record, I LOVE bacon) I do a similar sandwich at home with mortadella... You should give that a try!
As always great to hear from you 2 wheels! I was thinking the same thing, they call it a bologna sandwich but it has alot of salami on it,,, in the end it worked for me though. Had a nice bold flavor. Mortadella is great! Love that stuff and will def give it a try! Cheers bud! -N
MUSTARD !???? Noooooooooo !!!!!!!!! Mayo guys MAYO ! LOL . A slice of American cheese is great too !
your a man after my own heart William! I LOVE mayo! had to keep to the recipe though, at least once,, next time mayo all the way! Thanks for watching! -N
Love the new opening sequences. I grew up with fried bologna and fried salami, but surprisingly, never on the same sandwich...who knew??!! My father would fry them, cut them up and put them in scrambled eggs for us. To this day, I love frying them. Even if it's just to eat them by themselves. Great, easy and quick cook!
You need smoke thick sliced bologna with Toasted Bun lettuce tomato onion the best there is got to have some char
Whats up OldeT?! Thanks for being a sub!! I'm glad you enjoyed the new opening sequences and it's always interesting to hear about different ways people enjoy fried bologna and salami. Frying them and adding them to scrambled eggs is a great idea, and I appreciate you sharing your experience. Happy cooking! 😊 - N
Most def Dave! We agree and will be doing this when the weather warms up a bit! Griddle on bud! -N
Fun video, nice job! Hey, Weber has a couple new griddles in their lineup now. Would you guys consider reviewing one or at least trying one out? Weber's got a huge following....
Thanks for being a subscriber Bama! Yup we saw the new webber griddle and have reached out to them. Hopefully they are open to working together. They generally make real nice stuff so we can't wait to see what they did for the griddle! Cheers! -N
Hey guys really enjoy watching your channel. I would like to no the name of the torch Chris bought and where to get one.

Thanks again

The fried and crispy bologna is fantastic all by itself. No need for bacon or salami. And no need for any condiments.
I have bologna in the fridge for Fried Bologna. I do a version of a Tortilla Crunch wrap as well as bread. I like to toast the bread or bun. Sometime with a smear of mayo or ither times real butter to toast the bread. Sometimes mayo sometimes mustard and other the combination of both. Has to have onions I like red pickled onions but regular onions sliced thin. Pickle Italian peppers or pickled Jalapeno
Cheese good old American, but I use some times pepper jack, cheddar or Swiss. Now the bologna it needs to be almost a ¼ inch but the precut super thick two slices. Now in the morning like Jeff said a fried egg off the hook. I say fry the bologna and experiment with the condiments cheese and breads the sky is the limit of the possibilities. I wouldn't eat them all the time but they can be addictive. Almost for got shake some seasoning on you bologna as it fries garlic, onions, celery salts, and some black pepper to taste. I like to try various blend for a change up. The key is the browning of the bologna not black but brown it brings out the flavor. Maybe some lettuce and sliced tomatoes. But there is nothing wrong with with a plain white bread fried bologna with melted American cheese and mayo with a thin slice of onion. I think it is an overlooked unrated luncheon meat that has great potential in the hand of a creative cook. It a very simple but complex luncheon meat in the right hand. Don't be afraid to try mortadella or a good German bologna not just the American made version of bologna. And what does taste better than bacon on anything
I also like to do a fried Cotto Salami with the whole black pepper corns processed with the meat, and that a whole neither thing. But in short fry it like bologna and experiment to you hearts content. My favorite rye ir pumpernickel bread either sauerkraut or fresh sliced onions a good smear german mustard and some fresh horseradish serve on top of a melted Swiss on the fried Salami. Dang now I hungry and it is close to dinner time. I will have to make it tomorrow maybe one of each.
Hi Rick,,,
you got me thinking with all these suggestions! Love it! I am going to work in a "sandwich night" to the weekly meal plan! quick, tasty and easy! good call! -N
if the salami outnumbers the bologna, it's a salami sandwich. You need a chub of bologna, cut thick and fried up with a butt-ton of mustard on it. That's how it rolls where I live!
I've grown up with fried boloney sandwiches, over the the years I've added fried liverwurst with ketchup, good stuff indeed .
I've never tried adding fried liverwurst with ketchup before, but it sounds like a tasty addition to the sandwich. I'm glad to hear you enjoy it, and I appreciate you sharing your experience with me. Thanks again for your comment! Cheers! -N
Great video guys! Would y'all like to try what we call cloth bologna here in Virginia? It's kind of a staple down here.
HI Floyd... cloth bologna? I am going to have to look that one up. Never hear of it. I assume you would recommend it? Thanks -N
@@TheGriddleGuys absolutely recommend, some people also call it rag bologna.
Great. Just add jalapeños and pepper jack cheese..
Nice! Love this suggestion! Thanks Paul! -N
Great video as always guys ....look up my old home town in Ohio G & R Tavern's Fried Bologna: Historic Ohio Food Establishments
You have one of those Bologna you will want one every day :)

Hi Jay! Thanks so much for taking the time to give feedback, we will work on it! Cheers! -N :D
thick bologna slices fried, oh yeah grew up on that and, you know....wait for it....SPAM! Yeah, we were poor and this stuff was regular, along with fish sticks and pork-n-beans
OMG your comment just stirred u a ton of memories for me! Fish sticks and Pork and beans were a staple in my house growing up! lol. Neither are a gourmet meal but they both bring back happy thoughts! Thanks Mike :D Cheers! -N
I like to buy a round of bologna (3 or 4 lb) and smoke on my pellet smoker. To prep Slice about 1/2” grooves around about 1” apart and rub on some mustard and some seasoning. Then slice at least 1/4” thick and fry on my griddle.
Thanks for the tips Dallas! I plan to do this when the weather gets a bit warmer and will def use tthis approach.! griddle on ! N
Can't be a true Wilensky's Special if you are are not using the right type of corn bread !
I have not had a fried bologna sandwich in a while.
Love your YT name lol. After tasting it, IMO it's worth a trip to the market. Try the cooked salami with it.(not genoa) it was really impressive. thanks for being a sub! it helps us alot! Griddle on so wright! :D -N
We need more videos on Jeff’s diet. I really need to lose about 120 pounds.

Baloney , Balogna, what’s the difference? I eat baloney with white mayo must and American. Oh, and Fritos on top! Good vid
😂🤣, it's 330am, got woken up by girlfriend for some reason☺️🥳🤐, frying bologna and this popped up on UA-cam lol, making a grilled cheese with fried bologna, American cheese, tomato and a perfect runny egg(lightly sunnyside so yolk don't cook melting cheese, roasting bread, chipotle aioli(Jared), might have another after? But wish had all 3, looks delicious, wish had salami now, have my own cured bacon but frozen lol, How crazy is this, doing egg now, assembling to toast bread fast, and done, wish had all 3 lol. Tyvm guys, will put bacon in fridge, this is crazy, great video, perfect time👍
Thanks for the kind words Ron! We appreciate it! 😀 Crazy coincidence on the video timing lol. Now just so I get this right, you made yourself a grilled cheese with banana, tomato and an egg? now THAT is an interesting combo! Love it! Griddle on bud! -N
@@TheGriddleGuys 🤭, oops lol, supposed to be bologna 😂🤣, I just edited it lol, yes was funny, when I make something later after things in bedroom lol, I look at my UA-cam homepage,, and this was there lol. Tyvm. Might think of fried banana on grilled cheese now 🤣😂
An authentic Wilensky is on an English muffin!
Hi Slatsie, Just a plain english? As in Thomas's? Thanks - N
@@TheGriddleGuys The bread: Top secret and made specially for the eatery. Under the press, the squashed cornmeal-dusted bun looks like a Kaiser roll crossed with an English muffin.
I asked around when I saw this at work, what people thought of this sandwich. everyone was like hell no, most said they wouldn't even try it lol. Well I would try it, I mean how bad could it be, I'm 40 years old in a couple months and I've never had balogna before. But I'd have to say there's many other meats I'd make this sandwich with before bologna, just sayin
"... asked around when I saw this at work, what people thought of this sandwich. everyone was like hell no, most said they wouldn't even try it..."
@The Griddle Guys lol we will see, or I'll just make it for myself instead one of these days
Do you cook the salami too?
Yes, you do. Try it! GREAT sandwich! Thanks for watching NC! -N
Another take is fried liverwurst with raw onions and ketchup on rye bread
.
Bacon is for rich people 🤣
AMEN! Nuts how expensive it has gotten! Thanks for giving us a chuckle Joy! :D -N
you gotta have the pickle and a cherry coke , just sayin , its part of the experience.
If only we could! Saw that online, looks delicious! I have never had the opportunity to have one of those handmade cherry cokes. I would love to try it! I may take a trip to Montreal down the road, when i do, def going to Wilenskys!! Thanks for watching Chuck! -N
Fried baloney sandwich is a very simple sandwich... Don't over complicate it. Just a decent roll, four or five slices of baloney, sauteed onions, American cheese.... Call it a day!
All wrong. Bologna sandwiches are NOT made with slices of bologna you buy pre-cut. They are cut from a at least a two-foot roll of bologna at least 1/4 inch thick. I prefer at least a 1/2 inch thick piece of bologna. You all need to go to southeastern Arkansas and catch up on how to make a proper bologna sandwich. It has to be fried, either on the griddle, frying pan, or deep fat fried. I prefer mine fried on a hot griddle, slightly charred. The results you get with those prissy sliced pieces are NOT what I would call a bologna sandwich. You can go to any deli department, and they can cut a couple of pounds thick sliced for you. Plus, you will have a choice of garlic bologna, beef bologna, Dutch style Pennsylvania bologna. I just came from my deli dept at the grocery store. I think they have at least a half dozen types of bolognas.
you guys need to smoke like a 2 lb chub of bologna, then make a sandwich. where is Chris tonite missing his smiling face!
Hi Charley, He was on a trip. Several folks suggested smoking the chub. Once I get my zgrills pellet smoker back up on the deck I plan to do it. Seems odd to re-smoke an already smoked meat product but so many have said it that we have to give it a try. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment! Cheers bud! -N
Needs a egg😊
you would make great siamese twins. :)
uhmmmm??? Jeff and I? LOL Thanks for watching Daniel! -N
fry up some onions with the bologna and add to the mix.... grew up on that in Buffalo
Several folks suggested this. We def will! Appreciate you watching and making the suggestion Hank! _N
