Why the Jamaican Beef Patty Is a NYC Icon | Food Grails

- Welcome to Food Grails, a new First We Feast travel series hosted by Miss Info. As a music journalist, she's travelled the world and seen the power of artists who rep for their hometown sound. Now, she wants to discover how foods define a city’s flavor-from Atlanta's lemon-pepper wings, to NYC's beef patties. These are America’s food grails.
In episode 2, Miss Info investigates how the Jamaican beef patty became a NYC icon. As the flaky meat turnover has infiltrated all aspects of city life-found in mom-and-pop bakeries, bodegas, pizza shops, and even street carts-the patty itself has inspired fierce debate. Because if you think a patty is a patty is a patty...well, you're dead wrong. From heated conversations with DJ Clark Kent, to philosophical musings in the back of a Rolls Royce with Upscale Vandal, here are what New Yorkers really have to say about the beef patty.

First We Feast videos offer an iconoclastic view into the culinary world, taking you behind-the-scenes with some of the country's best chefs and finding the unexpected places where food and pop culture intersect. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
As a Jamaican still living in Jamaica. Idk what that DJ going on about. In JA we eat beef patty, cheese patty, curry chicken patty, breakfast patty (egg, bacon, cheese and veggies), soy patty, lobster patty, shrimp patty, curry goat patty, Ackee patty. We eat almost everything in our patties and we ain’t lose an ounce of heritage lol. One thing though that we as Jamaicans do love is food that is plentiful, full of meat and fresh
One day I hope to visit your country to experience the delicious food and beautiful scenery. Much love from my tiny corner of the world ✌️
He's just another cocky new yorker who thinks he's better than everyone else because he lives in a garbage dump
Like an ackee and salt fish patty???? That sounds amazing
DJ never been to the island has no idea what a scotch bonnet is. Should’ve cut his part way out of this video.
@@kyleaustin7766 Yes anytime you're in Jamaica please go to Devon House Bakery and try their curry goat patty and their ackee and saltfish patty. They are must have!
bro, us here in Jamaica have different types of patties. So just because it's not strictly beef, doesn't mean it's not Jamaican.. DJ Kent obviously hasn't been to Jamaica. Him nuh know ntn.
Lol. He is so pretentious. He got the "you speaking for who look" all the while he was talking.
He's from NY. Them corny ass niggas got stupid opinions. Don't mind him.
@@elspoko I am from NYC but found this comment funny. I loved how the lady put it "Thank you for having pattys".
@@elspoko Hi what awesome place are you from?
@Jay Juarez What paradise are you from ?
DJ Clark Cant shouldn't be the person speaking on behalf of Beef Patties..........He from Panama
Is he? Lol that's hilarious, with all the passion he was speaking with, you would've thought he invented those damn patiies sheesh
@@bigrich0926 ☺
So he's a poser?☺
jsj31313jj you don’t need to be from the place to be in love with it but shit don’t fuck with b-ball if you aren’t from the USA that’s technically what you’re saying
He may be from Panama or of Panamanian descent but most black Panamanian are descended from West Indian background and have someone West Indian in their family.In the turn of the century most black carribeans from Barbados,Jamaica and Antigua helped build the Panama Canal Zone which is big tourist spot and base for American soldiers.
R.I.P. Lowell Hawthorne... CEO and founder of Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery. Your vision and entrepreneurial spirit will be sorely missed!
This dude acting like he got Jamaica across his chest lmao
If I go into a jamaican restaurant and the employees aren't rude as hell, I walk out.
LMAO
#FACTS
hilarious
LMAO
thats how you know the food is good, if the people are arrogant and dont care to lose customers, its cus the food is good and sells its self
"when it's good the crumbs must fall" thats a quote
Bro, stop it, cheese beef patty exist in Jamaica boy!!!!
That American cheese tho 😋😋
Corny ass fucker is not even Jamaican.
When did that start in the 2000s
Hell yea them cheese beed pattys in Negril are fire
King Savage stfu because as you said, you have never been to Jamaica
"The crumbs must fall off!!!" YES 😍
Puff pastry >>>
Nia Lee 👏👏👏
right? the severity in how he stated that was fucking dope
Nia Lee 😍
If the crumbs are big enough I eat them too :)
I lived in the Caribbean for a year and a half. Little island called Anguilla. They had one real bakery that would open at 5am and close a little past noon. They easily sold hundreds of beef pattys a day. You had to race to get them before they were gone. My god were they heavenly. I'm back in NY now, and some of these pattys around here are great, but never as fresh as that little bakery.
Ahmed Hassan were u a medical student?
Prolly why usain bolt run fast asf for them beef patty...
Ahmed Hassan : Not sure if those Anguillan patties are even related in any way to Jamaican patties. Real Jamaican patties made by an expert Jamaican patty baker are the best, even if he/she does not live in Jamaica. That is why Jamaican patties are the best and most well-known internationally.
@@janetcousins4645 The person might be from Jamaica, Jamaicans are all over the Caribbean
DJ Clark Kent mind is limited with this. I literally just watched a chef on the Munchies channel make Jamaican style beef patties from start to finish with beef fat in the crust and what did he do, added cheese to one of them. He also said they do this in Jamaica 😏. Bottom line: Now I want a Jamaican beef patty 😁 And the beef patties with the pepperoni and cheese are bomb .
the fact that they not mentioning cocoa bread is the real abomination lol
what is the title of the story? patties not fucking cocoa bread
SocaBoy2006 You’re a fucking wasteman. Coco bread is it’s partner in crime. They were supposed to at least mention it.
@@SocaBoy-ms9cn a patty goes hand in hand with a patty.
SocaBoy2006 you sound silly most Jamaican always have the two and it’s great.
Hush your mouth let us have one thing for ourselves
Hey clarke, I just had a beef patty with pepperoni, mustard, and olives on it. It was delicious. The Caribbean lady who made it for me by hand thanked me for my business.
in jamaica you have,beef patty,chicken patty ,cheese patty ,shrimp patty and mega patty ,so u need to come to ja for the real deal.nthn like real jamaican patty
Hey. I just typed this.
What's a mega patty?
He was finna throw a TanTrum lmao
He fake Caribbean he doesn’t know
Chicken cheese bredda
Here in London we've been eating patties for decades but it's not just beef. We have Chicken, Ackee & salt fish, vegetable. And our patties are crescent shaped, not oblong.
That's because the pasty was originated by the English. Remember, settlers brought over their foods from different parts of the world and imported/exported spices, fruit, food, etc. to and from different countries. This is why I argue with people about the term "soul food" which is southern cooking that's a combination of different cultures/settlers which was shared among each other. African female slaves were taught to make those meals. Just like the Jamaicans.
That’s because England is the greatest country in the world
TheGreatestTeamOfAll It’s going to be spicer and the crust is different because of the turmeric. We have crescent shaped ones in America as well, it depends on who makes it.
Ashley Dunn Okay but every new luther is a mix of another culture. It’s not like britian was never conquered. Also soul food is unique because the mixing of the cultures arose to create new ones. Like how modern english has french, germanic and latin influences but is its own unique language. An Authentic patty tastes completely different from a pasty now.
We also have all the flavors you mentioned in america and have had them for years, I don’t now why he said it had to be beef.
Why is this guy so fierce and aggressive over a damn meat pie. Dude calm down.
Welcome to NY bud. It’s just how it is
Trying to flex... people from nyc suck
New Yorkers are weird
not all jamaicans are dickheads, just the arrogant asshats who come to america to "flex"
Go to Atlanta or Florida if you want some nice people. NYC and Hollywood for the thoroughbred
upscale vandal: "lemme get a beef pattie with cheese."
[jumps out from behind counter] dj clark kent: " *FUCK NO.* "
bluetextonwhitebackground 😂🤣💀💀
Lmaoooo
*smacks the patty out your hand before you can even do anything with it* "FUCK NO"
Cheese Patty in Jamaica RIGHT NOW is the most expensive and best selling. So he wrong on that one.
that sounds delicious right now
There are places in Jamaica where you can buy a patty with beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, lobster, cheese...and more. Not just beef
Binti Davis even in queens there is one bakery my pops used to go to and always got chicken patties and I’m sure there are plenty places that have different kinds of patties
Yup, but Americans loooove their beef
Where them mayonnaise patties with gentrification bacon though?
Lol every patty place in Jamaica sells different types of patties
CeeBarrio1 lol
1.06 RIP CEO of Golden krust
I was wondering...because I was like wait!!! May his legacy live on!!!
Jamaican beef patties is a staple in NYC. U can’t come to NYC without getting one 👏🏻💯🗽
I use to eat two beef patties for lunch everyday for two years when I lived in Bushwick. 3.00 for a banging lunch. Can't beat it.
Treats and Threads youtube Lol
A beef patty Is similar to a beef empanada
DDGS shoota #I will slap dissgod bitchass the seasoning is different and empanadas can be alittle greasy
Now that’s 5.00
That’s because you ate them withOUT the coco bread... that’s how you get full. Beef patties with coco bread.
So nobody gonna mention how amazing coco bread is? Like seriously amazing though
My ex loves it
Gotta have coco bread with a beef or chicken patty
Exactly!!! I wish I had some.
Exactly
Make a sandwich with the Coco bread, cheese in the bread with the beef patty.
Clark seems like he’s such a negative personality. 😬
Mariana Lopez He’s Lame
That's just called being a New Yorker. Rude assholes that look like crackheads and smell like shit.
@CassetteSkullMan Dudes got issues..
New Yorkers act like being rude makes them confident. It’s honestly pretty easy to demonstrate deep inside he has a sense of inadequacy, by putting up the rude front you build a wall. Being confident is allowing yourself to be vulnerable and enter into unknown territory.
I love how everyone labels this guy as a typical New Yorker, a rude asshole. This is your typical "hood new yorker." I can go to many other cities and find hood natives that are the same way. By the way, there are good people and there are bad people in every class or race human being.
1:13 shortie got them peaches
i was boutta say that shit
My guy
Sean's looking fine as hell.
You buy now!
According to her gold tooth, seems she's a madam. ;)
high horse, how is this racist? It's clearly a joke about how it isn't sean and is instead a pretty asian woman. Has nothing to do with race.
Don't worry about it, i'm not offended
dallashood67 which one is sean
Clark Kent got so mad about those manufactured beef patties lol
Amy C. Because it’s shit! Trust me if you don’t know what it’s like going to the Jamaican bakery 👩🏾🍳 for a patty 🥟 the buying one of those frozen kind
Amy C. Manufactured beef patties is real nyc piss hotdogs real nyc fuck that dj living in some uppity neighborhood
Ed Molina Not everyone lives in NYC close to a delicious fresh patty place. If frozen patties are the ones i can get my hands on, they are the ones I'm gonna eat! People really need to stop being so snobby about food, just eat what you like and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
@@RBGUERILLA there's a Jamaican bakery near my college in nostrand and flatbush,and it open my eyes when i bit into their patties for the first time. It's like comparing a walmart steak to kobe beef. The crust is so flakey and soft. The frozen beef patties open the doors to me but the Jamaican bakery patties led me up the stairs to heaven
@@thai33oz damn fam how tf u articulate that so well
"The crumbs must fall"
Deadass!!!
We got beef patties in school too...elementary school, middle and high school...I always looked forward to having them
how do you ride around in a Rolls-Royce and dont have enough fuckin money on you to buy a frickin ice cream
loooolllllll
"fuck no"
the way he says that is hilarious
I thought he was gonna take a swing at her.
kmlkmljkl oshityouwatchthisshow
Give this dude an authentic Sushirito or Pho-Burrito for chill purposes !!
+kmlkmljkl NO FUCKING WAY!
Not a fan of golden crust food in general but we have to give that brother his respect for being the first black man to get a franchise license in America ..I remember back in the 90s him driving all over the place going into small Jamaican restaurants trying to sign them up to his company ...rip brother ...
She's like Goldden Crust everywhere!! Only shows 2 locations😂
You want a 5 hour long video where she goes to ever single store that has them?
Insanely stupid comment, they're literally everywhere.
@@micahjohnsonboxing6409 stfu
Dude, have you not literally seen Golden Crusts everywhere???
There two in Hartford, CT
Many cultures have versions of this. Italians have the calzone and stromboli, Brazil has the pastel, Indians have Samosas, college kids have hot pockets. It just seems to me that it's a convenient way of getting nutrition on the go, so many cultures have adapted their own.
Anwar Abdullah everyone’s ignoring the Cornish Pasty that the Patty originated from lel
Actually! True!!!
Anwar Abdullah I'm Brazilian and I love pastels. I wonder if beef patties taste like them.
jamaican beef patties use curry that the indians brought over
Anwar Abdullah it's just meat and doe. I think everybody has a version of this
R.I.P. Lowell Hawthorne 😥
This DJ didn’t need to cuss at the woman.
It's a New York thing, she was not offended
He's a scrub
If Im not cursing within 10 minutes of landing in NYC....Im not in New York.
Plus, she wasnt upset or intimidated. She knew.
He is a joke
dj billbill#badDJ no it’s not...you can have an intelligent conversation without cursing as a New Yorker.😅
“When I was a young reporter one of the great stories I remember” 1:10
Was those cheeks at 1:14
umbraheart1 lol I thought I was the only one that noticed them cheeks
damn boi lol
first we feast has really established itself as a voice in the food world, keep hustlin team
"Tastee" makes the best Jamaican patty, we have other establishments like "juicy beef" and "mothers". So me no kw a wah him a chat say. Im glad our food internationally but as the saying goes "if you want good food, try it from the country of origin". Come taste a real steaming hot jamaican patty in Jamaica. We got soy, fish, beef, chicken, shrimp, fish, veggie etc
Celine Cornwall damn I’d love to try a fish one and a shrimp one. I bet you guys have some amazing fresh seafood out there. One day I’ll go !
everything will be ok Yeh but it overfished to bloodclaat and the seafood patties nuh fresh, stick to beef, chicken and cheese and a cocobread. If yuh want fish, go a hellshire beach
Facts, Tastee is in Toronto
And cheese patty
The New York City school system served more than three million during the 2016 fiscal year. Amazing.
Found a jamaican beef patty at the dollar store. Pretty good.
That guy got really emotional lmao
This man's Clark Kent is so silly. He's against the fact that beef patties are spread around the world. No matter if people change the patty or not, it still remains a patty originating from its roots. It's not changing it. It's building off of different branches. If you keep something the same and never try new things on it, then expect for it to go extinct. This man is a fool
Yes he is I'm Puerto Rican & I love my Patty with cheese & pepperoni or I can eat it plain it's still a Patty to me. Tower isles is a good brand
Is the empanada same as Jamaican beef patties ? Clark Kent is Superman a white dude ????....
He comes off as a clown. Defending your culture and it's purity is cool, but he spoke like a clown
Cultures like a shark, if it's not moving forward it's dying. Not saying you dont keep what you like but you can't stifle it either
Not his point, he was saying that if you aren't supporting the real deal you are supporting the gentrification of an original product and thus in a way disrespecting the original. (and putting money into the wrong hands)
I have a filipino background and i love my patties and oxtails. Probably my all time fave on the go hand held snack. Even had home made ones from locals in Negril.
This dude DJ Bizarro was a little to passionate over textures of a beef pattie. Fam it's not that serious.
If you never had a beef patty with mozzarella cheese you’re missing out the cheese keeps all the meat from falling out. Also if you never had a beef patty made fresh at a Jamaican spot you’re definitely missing out
With cheese??
I’ll pass I don’t want my patties with cheese
I do beef patty with American cheese, never tried mozzarella. There's a Munchies video where Chef Andre (a Jamaican) does it just like how I know it with American cheese. He called it "processed cheese" lol...
Cheese and fish? Fuck outta here
I’ve had mines with provolone cheese
Your girl Judnick is fly. I dig her look.
How has nobody mentioned having it with fresh baked cocoa bread❓🤔
FACTS!!
Wait like cocoa bread on the side or actually in the bread?
in a sliced coco bread.
Um most Jamaicans eat beef patty inside cocoa bread idiot
NoMoreEver925 YESSSSSSSS
"If it's good....the crumbs must fall." Love it.
This is a really well put together 12 minutes of documentary giving viewers an opportunity to see all sides of an issue
DJ Clark Kent wouldn't say that to a Rasta, gtfoh
I grew up in the South, I have never heard of these but I am dying to try one now. I got to find one! I love other cultures food. Just like the South has a unique food culture, so does other cultures. Great video guys.
i live in Houston and Walmart sells them hun
Tiffany Matthews it's not the same lol
all patties are not the same, try Tastee patties
That's like saying Applebee's has the best sirloin steak in the US. Fck you talkin' bout? lol Best patties in the US are in Flatbush, Brooklyn at a Caribbean spot, not a chain.
Resell Cartel well it’s my opinion and many people agree that the patties form that chain are top notch.
U will never know what a great beef patty is until u go to tastees in downtown Kingston Jamaica...trust me u will not know what a patty is until u go to tatees in Jamaica....
Yes!!!! My granny worked for Tastees back in the 80s... the simple joys of getting a dozen regular size patty month end
Nah juciy beef
for realll
I love seeing people so passionate about food
Beef patties with coco bread is life best food ever. I'm from harlem and i use to eat that every day
TheAppSmasher coco bread with swish cheese and pepperoni 😍
@King Savage beef patties is a part of life in NYC i don't think anywhere in the South has a bigger Caribbean community/influence LIKE the five boroughs of NYC beef patties is a must have.
too much starch. you want diabetes?
Every toronto bodega has them 🔥
@King Savage man shut your ass up you southern hypocrite you're always trying to make food out there to catch up when you should be kneeling. Best Jamaican patties are in three places New York Jamaica and the UK and that's it fight me LOL
Jamaican born knows that tastee run di place in the pattie game 🇯🇲
MsKingston20 No dawg mothers have di best Patty
tastee's or cereal...
In ochi a juicy beef
juicy patty and mother's a run d place testee's nuh gud again my girl and I'm well close to the company so I know that there patty ain't that gud
Juici and for all Clarendonians, Green Shop Patties! Mothers crust is nice but the beef too salt
Man I miss NYC, such an amazing culture and way of life.
Love how you view all the ( in my view) sides of the story. Left right and centre.
I'm from Toronto and I was basically raised on beef patties. $1 would get you a pop n patty at the variety store by my school. I moved to Edmonton and was over the moon to find a little West Indian grocery store that sells patties. The brand I LOVE too. If it's not Tinnel's I promise you, I don't fuck with it. Tinnel's patties make me not miss my city so much.
Never heard of no Tinnel's patty in toronto. Maybe Randy's or Michideans Patty's
Im from portugal, went to toronto summer of 2018 to visit my dad. Loved the city, had an amazing trip. The one thing i absolutely miss the most are the jamaican beef patties from randy's on eglinton. My gosh those were good... before i knew it i was gettin them by the dozen. Trully miss that place and its food
I think Allen patties from Scarborough are the best in Toronto. I live in the states now n they don’t ship:(
The New York City school system served more than three million during the 2016 fiscal year. Amazing.
Tinnel's is the best!! My freezer is loaded with them.
JAMAICA AVE IN QUEENS GOT THE BEST BEEF PATTIES
BLCK Check facts
Facts
YAAAASSSSS SO TRU !
and flatbush have with coco bread a sandwich
You already fuckin know!!!!
Man...when Upscale Vandal mentioned his relationship with the bodega and how you feel comfort there...I couldn't help but to think about Junior Guzman-Feliz. Rest in paradise young king. That shyt still hurts. I can't imagine how his family and friends feel. My bad...didn't mean to dampen the mood. I have 5 kids...2 of them are boys so it just hits close to home.
Judnick is really smart, the point about wanting food Americanized rather than having it feel exotic is really good
I was born in NYC, and I had my fair share of beef patties. So did my dad who was born in India but lived in the city for many years. It truly does bring people together.
R.I.P. Lowell Hawthorne!
DJ Clark Kent bein a clown as usual. What he said makes no sense
Over9Kilo you’re just disrespecting his culture lol
Midpack 777 I was born and raised in New York lmao that’s my culture too
@@over9kilo795 They sell Jamaican beef patties everywhere Jamaicans are at or went. But don’t get it twisted, it’s not a Brooklyn thing, a New York thing, or just a Caribbean thing. It’s a Jamaican food product specifically. It’s Jamaican culture that was introduced to these various places. Stop trying to muddle that by just comparing it to the hot dogs or roasted nuts. Eventually the passed down techniques of real patties will disappear because of the bastardized version that the pizza shops don’t even label as “Jamaican “beef patties
THE BEST BEEF PATTIES IN NYC IS .. KINGSTON BAKERY IN THE BRONX !! 226th St White plains Rd ! Hands down ! Featured on Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern !!
This video gave me flashbacks to my Jamaican aunts: "Anyone who says 'Ca-RIB-bean' isn't from the 'Carib-BE-an.'"
Alexandra Morgan yeah
Deadass!
Never thought of it before but truee!
You glowing white how's your aunt Jamaican?
ipmanric0 there are white Jamaicans lmao.. like that's a thing . Same nationality just a little less melanin 😂
DJ Clark Kent should change his name to MC Debbie Downer.
😉😉😉
😂😂🤣
I am just now viewing this wonderful investigation into an element of my Culture; thank you.
"Once you bite a patty; if it's good, the crumbs must fall". EPIC!!
I just got back from Jamaica. Juici Patti is amazing
ashley ronsen literally the best!!
Tastee patty a di best
Love both!
Try tastee next time
It is the best
The Golden Crust CEO and that girl from the pizzeria has the right idea while most people are complaining cultural appropriation this gentrification they are thinking about expanding the authentic Jamaican experience to other people who have never ate before.
Started eating patties in The Bronx when I was a kid in the pizza shops. I’m an Irish kid that knows good food when I see it. I’ve had the mom and pop shop patties, I’ve had the Golden Krust and I’ve had em in the bodegas. It’s good food. I like mine with mozzarella, pepperoni and hot sauce.
Im from Canada and I grew up eating spicy Jamaican patties everyday. One of the best to-go food for sure.

"When it's on, loco head gon' lay low
And heat it like beef patty, coco bread kon queso" - DOOM, Mm.. Food
In 7:48, Ozone Park is part of Queens not Brooklyn
Damn that food looks pretty good. Like a a great empanada. Having said that Clark Kent is elitist a all hell. Gatekeeping, calling people trash buyers. Man it's food and something to be enjoyed, no reason to look down on someone for preferring or buying a certain style.
I agree. To me, best way to have 100% authentic 24/7 is to be in the native country. At the end of the day, we are still making International food in the U.S. Not the same as having a Jamaican beef patty in Jamaica.
Exactly I agree, Food is about being creative.. Not everything will sell good But sometimes you just gotta take a chance.
I love it. Thank you for sharing these amazing cultures coming together. Love it or hate it this is how the patty is evolving in Brooklyn. And to the Jamaican patty purest, I understand his point of view. But the girl is correct, most Jamaicans probably don't know much about any other island outside of their own island. America is everyone. There are people from every single country here in the USA. It's a beautiful thing. Food brings people together. One Love. Jah Love 🤘🏼
geekphreak lmao you understood her wrong... She was saying alot of people in America dont know about any other island other than Jamaica and Haiti. As a born and raised Jamaican i can asure you that we learn about our neighboring islands and their history in school. But through highschool and now in college here in the states, no class has taught me anything about the islands. Not even Jamaica
I can say with zero uncertainty that Jamaicans are well aware of all of the isles and countries that surround them. They are fantastic exporters of West Indian and Caribbean cultures - a true melting pot.
I'm still so in love with Miss Info
Thank you. This video was very interesting.
These videos are amazing. Please keep them coming.
This woman is a fantastic reporter.
All this chatter about patties in America (NY). Go to Jamaica if you want to have a real patty. I'm a Jamaican who currently lives in America and Golden crust and whoever else does not compare to Tastee, Juicy Beef or Mother's (Real Jamaican Patty companies).
I can confirm Golden crust patty is straight trash
It's Authentic tho, its a Jamaican family, following a Jamaican recipe. i assume their spices and preparation style is what causes the difference. Despite that, Golden Crust is way more successful than any other Patty franchise.
Tastee is a Jamaican company? I didn't know that. They're good, but I found them nowhere near as good as from little Jamaican bakeries that I've been to in the Toronto area.
yes it does you buggin
Rankings:
1. Devon house (gourmet!)
2. Tastee (Balance of meat and good crust)
3. Juicy (90% flakes 10% beef....country mandem love Juicy don't know why)
4. Golden Crust (Meh..ehhh)
*Mothers (No comment, haven't tasted)
This is a very good video about a street snack that I've enjoyed since the 1970's. The video doesn't just give the history of the beef patty in NY. It also explores the many ways that different people feel about the patty, and their various relationships to the beef patty and caribbean culture in general. It explores the dialectic between the caribbean community which has profoundly influenced NY culture for the past several decades, and the ways in which caribbean people have assimilated bits of the culture of their new home. The video shows that even something so commonplace and trivial as food can be used to ask some very important questions and maybe even to learn some very important truths. Finally, this video makes us ask if something so commonplace and trivial as street food can reveal so much cultural, sociological and political information, what other commonplace bits of popular culture are worth exploring with the same intelligence, and what nuggets of wisdom might those inquiries yield?
As for my own opinion on one of the central questions explored in this video: There is no such thing as a bad beef patty, for the same reason as there is no such thing as bad sex. Even bad sex is still sex, so would you rather have bad sex or no sex? Nobody wants no sex! Even a bad beef patty is still a beef patty. Would you rather have a bad beef patty or no beef patty? Who would ever choose to not eat a beef patty if they had the opportunity? That's what I think about that!
cool stuff never knew this was even a thing... now to find one to try!
Can you imagine this documentary but about people from newcastle and sausage rolls
ТРИ ПОЛОСКИ Gary the roofer: you don't know a sausage roll unless you grew up here. It's gotta be eaten with a cup of tea and NEVER warmer than room temp. Don't disrespect my culture by ordering a steak bake
fraaazzz1 im creasing
the doc u series are super short. THEY CAN DO IT>
Lol my local Jamaican place never got no food in stock..
I’m always to late..
My mom taught the granddaughter of the owner of Golden Krust - it was nice getting them every now and then.
I think it's great when other parts of the world embrace another cultures food and interpret it in their own way. Like how western Chinese food is different to food in China. Let others enjoy your food and put their own spin on it. The OG will always be the OG tho, so u dont need to sweat it.
Tom Anderson you probably think the French invented French fries . I'm in the Bronx , one hour from here I know young and old people who went there whole life without having a pizza patty let alone a real deal West Indian patty .
Exactly! He's acting like somebody is trying to erase a culture by adding a spin to it. It's food bro, nobody's trying to hurt your people lol.
Nah, western Chinese food isn't even Chinese food. It's dog shit compared to the real thing.
Jackson Winkleson You missed the point entirely.
@@Diddy___ But what he is saying is incorrect. He seem to have never been to Jamaica because Jamaicans have several kind of Patties since they began making it.
They don't make them fresh anymore where I live. I buy the Caribbean Delight frozen patties from JAMAICA, NEW YORK.
Nice, takes me back to the city (Cleveland, OH). That was one of my staple lunches, grab a beef patty from Dailys, 5 dollars worth of jerk wings, a deuce deuce of heineken, a pack of milds and two swishers for the hydro for later on.
This was a great video love all the people she spoke to this video was beautiful ☺️☺️
I love these kinds of videos. Great work! Love New York, used to get patties near 8th ave, 32nd street when I worked in Manhattan. Not sure if that was Golden Crust but that's the first I've heard of those pizza patties in the video. A fascinating piece on the culture!
✊🏾🇯🇲JAMAICAN PATTY WITH COCO BREAD ALL DAY!!!‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
With that rice and oxtail gravy, you can't move all day
Being from the west coast I never heard of this until I went to the east coast.First time I went to Pennsylvania I had an authentic beef patty it was delicious 😋
I actually like it with the mozzarella cheese and coco bread!! ... PURE HEAVEN!!
Curry chicken patties are damn good too!
I luv me some Jamaican beef patty😋😋

You are correct. Yup.
@@rscully5 Imma go out there and try it then, I guess. I've only had both the Golden Krust patties from the store, and then ones from school which (plot twist) were Golden Krust patties anyway the whole time. Let me say this - a true, unbiased opinion from someone who thought this for a long time before seeing the video - Golden Krust beef patties suck fucking dick I'm gonna try the real thing
Been eating oxtail and beef patties and doubles for the longest. Who doesn't know about this? Caribbean food is awesome. Wish I could go to the Pork Pit right now.
Now yuh mek mi feel fi patty🤗
