    Chef John, I just love your videos! I have anxiety disorder and struggle with terrible panic attacks at night. Watching you cook is so helpful! Your voice is so soothing, and well, who doesn't love food? Maybe one day I'll even make one of your recipes, lol! Just wanted you to know that you're making a big difference for some nobody in Indiana. Thanks!

      Chefs John recipes are scientifically proven to relies hunger and anxiety, but you have to cook them yourself, not some day, sooner is better. How about tomorrow?

      Because it's illegal in Indiana, I suggest coming to Washington and using marijuana to cure your anxiety.

      I thank you for the kind thought, however I do have access to marijuana should I want it. But it tends to make my anxiety a lot worse. Drugs in general, like Xanax or Valium, don't even make the anxiety go away, they just make me sleepy. I get the same effect with benedryl, so that's what I use, lol.

    I'm a Florida boy, and I've eaten a TON of Cuban sandwiches in my day. And Chef? If you opened up a sandwich store anywhere near where I lived, you'd have a customer for life! That looks beyond amazing! :)

    Being from Tampa, I can affirm these will change you forever.
    This is a Miami Cubano.
    Tampa cuban: Add a nice slice of soft italian salami. (Thanks Italian immigrants!)
    If you can't find Cuban bread, use an egg roll. These are called "Media Noche. Not quite the same tho....

      If you're talking castor oil, one should note that it's a powerful laxative.

    @100nitrog2 7 років тому +18

    Hey, chef John. While it's not as common, I highly recommend you try making a cubano with salami in addition to the standard ham and pork. That variation is still authentic, as it comes from Tampa, where there were also many Italian immigrants. The zing and funk that the salami provides is delightful.

    Chef John, In Tampa, FL. salami is almost always added. Usually Genoa salami. It always seemed odd to me but it works very well. Thank you for all of your wisdom bestowed upon us. You are a benevolent soul indeed. peas and carrots Chef.

    Dude, you just HAVE to try and make a lomito, a typical argentinian sandwich (just for you to taste it, video not necessary): Thin slices of loan (cow meat) cooked in a really hot pan with some chimichurri sauce (to give it the moists, thats the secret). When the meat's done you just put it between two halves of arab bread, with some ham, cheese, lettuce and tomato slices. Toast it. You can add a fried egg on top of the meat, inside the sandwich and you are done (put some extra chimichurri on it, you wont regret it).

    First of all Chef John Rocks! Besides offering great things to eat and for me it's too late to go to the store to make whatever has your mouth drooling he does have a soothing friendly voice. I have my panic attacks under control but try slow deep breathing , get a hot water bottle or rice bag heated in the microwave. Put it across your chest., cuddle up in a comfy blanket and practice some slow deep breathing ( count your breaths) while watching a Chef John video or a knitting one. You will begin to relax enough to fix thins just a bit....you are winning the battle
    You are nit alone there. I care about you! Practice this, be cool and talk to someone, a friend, me, there are others out there that need a support either on line or in person,

    We use thin sliced smoked boston butt(homemade), cheap thin boiled ham, deli style swiss cheese, very good whole sliced kosher pickles + small amount of pickle juice drizzled on the cuban bread and a mixture of Hellman's and small amount of yellow mustard - nothing worse than a dry samwich. These are VERY tasty and popular - we've made 1000's of these. PS - butter the outside of the bread prior to pressing(flattening)

  • @nancyjohnston9415
