My grandpa worked security for GE in Utica for a few decades. Brought home those halfmoons from Hemstrought's Bakery. ''Real'' Italian food in Utica. If you know you know!
My father worked for GE in Utica for over 35 years and probably knew your grandfather. A lot has changed in Utica. Utica used to have some of the best Italian and Polish food. The Utica area still has awesome pizza. For the past 14 years in Wisconsin, I have had people recommend "the best pizza." I've tried them all, and central NY is still. better.
Born and raised in Rome. Haven't lived up there in years, but when I go back, I eat everything I don't get anywhere else. I was literally looking at Utica food videos a couple of days ago, which would explain why I'm seeing this video. I actually used to eat at Joel's.
Welcome back home Benny from your other home Bosnia.I just came back from back home .Peja Kosova and was telling people about your visit.Thank you for making this videos.
Bro my uncle runs Grill and Coffee. My family has held that title of best cevapi in Utica for years 💀. Thank you for shouting him out. If you’re not Bosnian, most people don’t know about this place
What a great video! I worked in Utica for 18 years and never got too adventurous with the food of other cultures. Now I’m definitely going to check out these places. Seeing the food made it seem less scary.
Yeah, Utica food is the best. It's crazy how many hidden gems there are, every time I go back home I discover some new hole in the wall place that has amazing food. Thanks for your comment!
I student taught in Rome and Whitesbough, would visit/pass through Utica then, but salad days me had no idea this was all there. I so need to go back. Guys, it looked like you had a lot of fun, thanks for sharing this with us.
Yes we do! And we even have some food that can only be found in Utica. Someday I'd like to make a more in depth video on all of Utica's cuisine. This video was meant to show the diversity/uniqueness of Utica's food. Thanks for watching!
There are others as well. The most popular one was Europa, but it closed a few years back when the owner moved away. But just this year one of the workers from Europa opened up a place in the boys & girls club in east Utica, serving the famous chicken sendvić, among other things
Growing up in east utica i though everyone was italian lol,and the smells of italian food and how mama made it you just could not grow up in a better city
Absolutely! The next time I'm back home I'd like to make a video on the Italian food in Utica and especially on the Utica-only foods like riggies, greens, tomato pie, etc. There's no other place like it!
Great video, was born in Utica, left when my Dad got a job in CT,that was 1968, never saw any immigrants back then. But they bring great food and culture with them.👍
Ne kontam ni ja, nijednog čevabdžincu u Sarajevu nisam vidio da to rade. Samo roštiljanje je dovoljno, šta drugo treba? Ima meso dovoljno masnoće da fino dodaje okus somuna!
You seem to speak decent amounts of Spanish, Bosnian, and Arabic (and from your hat I'm guessing French too). You'd be great in politics, as you also seem to genuinely enjoy people
Check out the description to see the info for all the businesses, go support them!

I grew up in Whitesboro and never tried any of these places, definitely missed out. I miss tomato pie and utica riggies
I hope you enjoyed your time in our humble little city sir! Thank you for the spotlight and the kind words!
This humble little city also happens to be my city! I grew up in Utica and I'm writing this comment from Utica as well :) Cheers
@@BenTheRules oh dude, dope! If I ever see you out, I'll buy you a beer!

No prob! I’ve driven by so many times but I’ve never been inside to eat and I was not disappointed. Great cevapi great people

So many hidden gems of restaurants in the Utica/Rome area, even beyond this video. Thanks for watching along!
We have really good Italian food too 👀
Yes we do! And we even have some food that can only be found in Utica. Someday I'd like to make a more in depth video on all of Utica's cuisine. This video was meant to show the diversity/uniqueness of Utica's food. Thanks for watching!
@@BenTheRules I really enjoyed it! Utica has a lot to offer despite what people might say about it.
Can you find out for me where bob got that cream vneck
You really ate with this video
🤨
Isn’t also another Bosnian place on Albany St. in Utica close to where you guys ate Cevapi?
Maybe you mean Europa foods? It closed a few years ago, but it was a great one indeed
I think that would be tha name. Have not been there in about 3 1/2 years. Its by the guy that has that Bosnian store (Ruznic?)
Que buen video, suban mas contenido así!
You should also should go to two brothers for some Burek it’s the best over at two brothers
Good to know, I’ll check it out next time I’m home
Is this the only Bosnian restaurant in Utica? I ate at a Bosnian restaurant in Utica about a decade ago. There was a horse shoe bar I sat at.
There are others as well. The most popular one was Europa, but it closed a few years back when the owner moved away. But just this year one of the workers from Europa opened up a place in the boys & girls club in east Utica, serving the famous chicken sendvić, among other things
Utica gettin some exposure👀
As it deserves!
Excelente video
Gracias!
Are you from Utica? I grew up there but left.
Was curious how you stumbled across it?
Que comida más linda y rica se ve
I live in Germany,that cevapi is called Cevapcici in Germany great stuff with red rice Ajvar.
Cevapcici is just a diminutive of Cevapi.
That's how we say it in Istria Croatia Cevapcici 👍🇭🇷🇺🇸
Čevapi is Bosnian name, Čevapčići is Croatian
You missed on dish from upstate ny. It's called chicken riggies.
I could do a whole 2nd video on foods from Utica itself! Riggies, greens, tomato pie, half moons, etc
Lets goooo Utica 😍
The best city
Very Good 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! 🙌
Hi Leyla!!!
The tea soup mishap could be a short lol
@salvatoreferrone7615 What’s the difference between roast beef and pea soup?
@@BenTheRules you can roast beef but you can’t pea soup
Growing up in east utica i though everyone was italian lol,and the smells of italian food and how mama made it you just could not grow up in a better city

That be great

Ukrainians have been in Utica and surrounding towns for decades. My Ukrainian mother lived in Utica in the 1950s, and still lives in the suburbs.
You can tell Senad is Bosnian because of the beer belly xD
Great video, was born in Utica, left when my Dad got a job in CT,that was 1968, never saw any immigrants back then. But they bring great food and culture with them.👍
Increíble food
The best food!
Me gusta
Gracias 🙏🏻
Es COOL el nice
Que comida más sabrosa me encanta
What's the Bosnian guy doing - pouring water on a generic pita bread while the stuff is on the barbecue? That can't be great tasting cevapi.

Best part of the video: “I guess Outback backed out”
Goated line tbh
They come here and go to work, unlike our homegrown slugs.
Go Reds
