PHILLY WE OUT HERE!!! 🥳🥳🥳 thank you guys again for coming thru Philly. JOLLY 화이팅~~
Well done. You made us proud.
👏👏
CHEF CHRIS!!! BRAISED IN PHILLY.
You started them off right and I hope you toured them around to the other spots. Great explained of how the kind of cheesesteaks changes over age. 😂
So glad you were there to show them the actual cheesesteak spots!
Oh thank goodness. Every time I see tourists do a cheesesteak video I hold by breath until I know they went anywhere but Pats or Geno’s. Good job getting local guidance. Angelos is solid.
Amen. It’s so hack and their steaks suck.
Sadly, the one and only time I went to Philly (for business), all I knew or heard of were Pat's and Geno's. I didn't know anyone local. I wasn't impressed.
Here in the South, what we call a "Philly Cheesesteak" is meat, grilled onions and bell peppers, and provolone cheese. Cheese whiz isn't something that goes on a sandwich. That goes on crackers or nachos if you're desperate.
Yes, crisis averted 😂 Pat's and Geno's just don't have it! I loved Angelo's, and have been meaning to try the steaks at John's Roast Pork for good measure...
Pats & Genos are like the fast food version of cheesesteaks. Not great quality, but they churn them out a ton. Instead of cooking to order, they just have a bunch of meat already cooked, sitting, waiting to be thrown on a roll. Not even a good role. Solid when drunk at 1am. I’m a Dalessandro's fan, personally.
@@pawpawstewugh, hate to hear that. They have the big signs, and for whatever reason have made the biggest name for themselves nationwide, but nobody in Philly would ever actively choose to go there before midnight. It’s the tourist trap.
Personally loved when he yelled "Go Birds!" and the guy in the background turned around right away, wearing an Eagles' hoodie, of course.
Yessir
His mistake was not giving the "E_A_G_L_E_S, EAGLES!". The whole street would have lit up. Go Birds! you can let pass. E A G L E S, now that can't go unanswered. It's basically law.
@@burner8959Ollie rep Eagles gear during their Super Bowl food redo episode too
Come down to Tampa for a authentic Cuban Sandwich. Go Bucs!
A breath of fresh air to see people actually avoiding Genos and Pats and going to a better spot. Still waiting for the day Steve's appears on one of these, but Angelo's is definitely good too.
Steve's my favorite!!! I've been waiting forever too😂
Tbh I like Chiefon's little quiet presence. I feel like I would be like him, just appreciating the jokes and banter and contributing when I can. Love it.
Thank you so much. I’m actually alot more explosive and animated but I took a back seat for this lol! It’s spelled chyfann* btw
@@AlreadyBeenThere aww you replied! Nice to meet you Chyfann! :-) oh I don’t doubt that! Hope you had fun with the boys! And thanks for correcting my spelling!
@@AlreadyBeenThere you have a great attitude and from what we see, personality:) I have to agree with the comment above, blessed be my man!
I was about to comment this! I like how he quietly researches ice water and just shows it to them! so considerate!
"That tastes like not being able to see your grandkids" is just a great quote!
I love Ollie so much, but I hope he realizes a few of those comments bordered on what we'd consider rude..
@@harvestmoon_autumnskynah. That's just our humour.
dude thinks every moment is a comedy moment@@harvestmoon_autumnsky
@@harvestmoon_autumnskyTruth hurts?
@@tehtriangle6660 Brit humor is dry, but rarely that dark. It was a weird comment to make in front of people trying to share their city's culture and keep the atmosphere light. His mood just seemed off in this vid, even offended for some reason? Big Ollie fan, we all have off days or missed jokes.
Surely deep fried fish and chips, or a full English, or sausage rolls are better health options though, right?? Cheesesteak is 'treat yourself' food that we all know is unhealthy but delicious. I wouldn't go to a chippy and harp on how bad it is for you. We already know that, I'm there to indulge.
Being from eastern PA, the meat, onions and peppers are relatively simple to replicate anywhere as long as you have decent ribeye and know how to season it. The big difference is the access to great bakeries making hard rolls.
Absolutely true!!! Anybody can fry up some chipped steak. It's the great Italian bread!
Absolutely the bread makes the sandwich.
yes!
I lived in Philly for four years after growing up in the Midwest and it is such an underrated city. There's a strong appreciation for finding good food and being real with folks. If I ever moved back to the US, I'd probably return there. Philly will forever have a strong place in my heart and I'm so glad you guys stopped there and I really hope there'll be some more episodes there
For real. I was born in NYC and in 2018 moved to Philly on a job transfer and loved it. Lived on Fairmount on Pennsylvania Ave. The people are very friendly and like you said, they have good food everywhere. Literally everywhere. I did gain a few pounds. Midway through the pandemic I returned to NYC since I was going to be working remotely for the foreseeable future and my family wanted me back home. I still travel to Philly for work constantly so I do get my fill but the problem is that since the pandemic crime has skyrocketed insanely. In NYC the media exaggerates situations for sensationalism. In Philly, they don’t report it nationally but it’s crazy what is transpiring.
Philly has incredible architecture everywhere!
As someone who is from Philly we want you to stay where you are and not move back here...we're getting crowded and don't want you back
@@timmysweeps1632 nah man, Philly desperately NEEDS more people, you're crazy
@@mattb7479 you a realtor trying to find idiots that will buy new condos going up in fishtown for 600k? The less people the better with all these hipster weirdos saying Jawn all the time with unshaved armpited fat chicks with green hair roaming the streets
They took you to a LEGIT place. Angelo's is probably one of the best in Philly.
My #2 spot, jims is my #1 but depending what area im in, I'll stop at both.
@@MrMcbear Has to be John's Roast Pork for me but their hours are difficult
@@MrMcbeartry out cafe carmelos
No love for dalessandros?
these replies are telling me that competition is _fierce_ for the title of "best cheesesteak"
If JOLLY doesn’t hit the Terminal Market for a roast pork or some Hershel’s hot pastrami… they’re going to regret it.
Yes! They could honestly do an hour long episode just in Terminal Market
This. Get that porchetta
Honestly those types of Markets I could never get bored in. You could find anything you want every day for a year, and you'll still find something different. And it's always fresh.❤
*Redding Terminal lol no one calls ir "Terminal Market"
@@charliedog29 I was so confused, I was like where is that
Even though Jolly is hugely popular, I really appreciate the fact that they're still so down to earth...eating cheesesteaks on the street right out of the bag with a cop and bystanders coming in and out of the shot 🥰
as someone who is born and raised in philly, but currently in nyc for college, this made me homesick but also very happy!!
Bro shoutout Chris for 1) taking yall to Angelo’s, because that place’s food (not just cheesesteaks) is fire, but 2) for putting yall up on Cooper’s sharp. Already knew he was a real one, this just confirms it
I loved Angelo's steak (w/ cooper sharp), big time. But next time I am curious to try with another cheese... I like to check all the angles 😂
@@FlavorofMind I'm a New Yorker and will stand by our delis & pizza spots, but Angelo's is absolute fire.
@Pre1321 props for saying so - good food is good food! And yeah, NYC has the goods 🙂
@@FlavorofMind When the Italians roll through, you know you're going to eat well. Philly, NYC, and Jersey got most of them back in the day.
@Pre1321 as someone with many ancestors from Italy, I hear you! My partner and I are actually working on a couple videos for our channel that'll feature Italian food in Philadelphia (even though we usually cover Korean). There's a lot to love in Philly, and frankly in many places within a 2 hour radius of NYC!
We do say "take a wizz" in America. I've heard it all my life.
a fine idiom, I must say
Yup, kind of a less crass way of saying take a piss. Probably said it more as a kid than an adult
We said it both, but back in my day (I'm 60) we said " I gotta go toss a wiz" 😉
Urine is the base ingredient in Cheese Wiz
I learned that from Ren and Stimpy
Coming from somebody that’s from Philly I love the fact that you had someone from the city as a guide to give you the real tea
I would like you to know: My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary a few days ago. We decided to go to Fogo de Chao, which is an all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse doing Churrasco meats, where they bring the skewers around to the table. I knew I'd need to be hungry, so my strategy was to skip breakfast and then watch your videos all day. I was SO HUNGRY by the time we got to the steakhouse! LOL! Thank you for your help. LOVE your videos, and I'm just a 60 year old Grandma who lives in the desert in Arizona, USA. Thank you for the trips round the world, trying all of the delicious foods.
As a south Jersey native living abroad, the nostalgia is crazy for me watching this…
I hear this.. I'm a Philly native now living in Seoul, and I do love a quality cheesesteak 😭 This got me good!
I lived near angelo’s for four years and have since left the state…them somehow managing to sift through the bs and find an actual solid cheesesteak was a welcome surprise
Back when angelo’s was in haddonfield
im from the SF Bay Area and moved to Jersey 2 years ago and sadly will be moving back to CA in 6 weeks. i will DEEPLY miss the cheesesteaks and pizza 😭😭
@@sthompson12132 very much agree!!
I am celiac, which means no wheat for me. Eating wheat means three steps to a toilet for three days. The next time I visit Philly, I will book an extra three days in a hotel just to eat one of these sandwiches.
That is the definition of love. The Philly Cheesesteak is worth it.
You're so brave 🎉
Can you just eat the sammich guts and skip the bread, or is it because it’s been in contact with the bread?
Either way, way to live life to the fullest!
@@bitchenboutique6953 eating a Philly without bread is criminal lol
I think there are actually shops that serve gluten free bread. I think Crazy Korean Cooking took her parents to Philly and she was able to get a gluten free cheesesteak from somewhere.
I’m a Korean-American born and raised in Philly, so this video made me incredibly happy 🥹 So hyped for this series, and (hopefully) your reactions to my childhood favorites - water ice, wawas, hoagies, etc ❤
As someone who waited to have a cheesesteak until they were in Philly, I love getting to see Josh & Ollie trying them for the first time there as well. Having Chef Chris along for it is absolutely fantastic. The cross-over I didn't know I needed until now. :3
Bot
I am so fucking happy that you went to Angelo's. Truly the best in Philly, and NEVER the one people in these types of videos go to. Love you guys so much!
I was happy to see them get to try cooper sharp. The bread at Angelo’s can’t be beat
Dalessandro's is the best, but Angelos is a good representation for peoples first times
John's Roast pork makes the best steaks, and the best roast pork.
@@alexanderrose1071 I personally prefer Angelos (bread) over Dalessandros which feels more standard/typical
@@alexanderrose1071 Nah, maybe years ago, but they're not in the same league as Angelos.
And now I am starving THANKS.
JOLLY you guys should check out shady maple smorgasbord in Lancaster
Yummy jolly

You ain't lying. And I'm nowhere near South Philly. Damnit.
I am going to search for a cheese steak in Bali at 08:44am 😂😂
Solid better help pun! Legit, therapy is ROUGH, and the rougher therapy gets, the more progress is made. Im SO proud of you.
Literally when my sister saw you guys were in Philly via Instagram, we both were excited and devastated at the same time. We wanted to meet you but knew it was impossible. I hope you guys tried the water ice, pretzels, hoagies/Wawa and went to Reading Terminal.
As a Brit, one of my culinary highlights was eating a Cheesesteak in Philly, an outstanding experience. I hope you got to Reading Market, which is an absolute must!!
Reading market yessss! Tell them!
Why would a Brit go to Philly
@@fdama there’s a lot of history between Britain and Philadelphia. Besides that Internationally recognized, Philadelphia is one of only eight U.S. destinations to be included in Michelin’s distinguished collection of global guidebooks. And thanks to the city’s arts and culture scene, sprawling park system, and bustling neighborhoods.
I went for work and was very pleasantly surprised by it. It has its own unique personality, it has history and the food scene was great. My hotel was just opposite Reading Market which was a brilliant place to explore and graze!!
after eating all of that, Ollie just stood still in a food coma, and was mistaken for a traffic cone
Underrated comment 😂😂
Proud Pennsylvanian here (though on the opposite side of the state... danggit) Thank you, thank you for stopping by and trying what's probably one of our favorite comfort foods in the state (even over here, some 300 miles away... Danggit.) Hope you enjoyed!
Love this! I researched and went to Angelo's for my 1st authentic cheesesteak. I waited for more than an hour for my order (with cooper's sharp) and it was worth every second of that wait. GREAT video!
Im British and been to Philly loads of times. Max’s, Delisandro and Angelo’s are my favourite. Try John’s roast pork to have a life changing experience
John’s Roast Pork is the best.
Those are all solid I do think delassandros is a bit over rated. Angelo's is my favorite
I used to love D’Alessandro’s, but something changed. It’s just not the same anymore.
Also my favorite places
@@aaronramsonwhite Better than DiNic's?
Damn, so pumped my hometown is being rep'd! We did a Seoul vs. Philly cheesesteak episode on our channel awhile back, but only tried Angelo's more recently - and lord almighty it is the real deal. Better than any of the ones we tried prior to that. I would love to see several more episodes of Josh and Ollie trying what Philadelphia has to offer. It punches above its weight! Thanks for coming fellas... ❤
I realised I read all of that in a philly accent. 😂
I'm English. Quite English.
Kensington st represents your home town
They should try the pretzels.
@@dabbadoo2226we prefer to pretend that area doesn't exist.
@@moisesinfantes2797the city is overrun with Philly Pretzel factory locations. The old school soft pretzel shops are hard to find these days and usually closed by 8 am.
My favourite part of this video was watching the passion in Chef Chris' eyes light up with his friend Chiefon for Philly. Nothing beats a passionate local tour guide. I only wish this was a longer video or there was a part two.
Thank you for coming to my hometown very much appreciate and to have Chris showing you around it’s amazing
Thank god you went to Angelo’s! Philly is an UNBELIEVABLE food city. Hope you were able to do more than just cheesesteaks. It has some of the best Mediterranean food in the country and so much more. Reading Terminal market is a special, special place. Really hope you got to see all that the city has to offer 🔥🙏
I love how the guy in the red sweater is quietly dying of laughter in the background
Hehe
Dude thinks that a "sub" sandwich is short for "Subway" lol. It's short for "submarine" because of its shape.
Boys - I'm so sorry to hear you have had mental health struggles. You have made me laugh so many times, and you bring joy to thousands of people with your videos.. I hope you feel better now. Lots of love from a Danish fan ❤
They myth that whiz is the classic persists. While it has overtaken, the best places don't serve it. The classic is, and always will be the original: sharp provolone.
You speak facts. Thank you.
100% 🎯
Although, I like both. Depends on whether I'm in the mood for a dirty one or not 😂.
Why does this not have more likes? Nobody likes the truth?
Wrong...
Idk what's up with the whiz stuff is it a tourist thing? IDK a soul out here who likes whiz
I lived in Pittsburg around 20 years ago and they had a Pittsburg cheese steak which was basically a Philly with French fries on top. It was AMAZING!
Ollie's description of the food is always hilarious and josh calling him out is always a fun video to watch 😂
No self-respecting South Philly person would EVER put fake cheese (cheese whiz) or orange cheese on their cheesesteak. You put white American or provolone cheese on it.
White American mixed in good, Carmelized Onions (sauté onions in 2 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive) cook the thinly sliced steak in the same mixture, chopping the the thin steak eventually adding the cheese and folding into the steak so practically every piece is covered in cheese. Get the best torepedo/hoagie/sub roll available, warm that on top of the grill, add the steak, add the carmalized onions, and please for me add good old tomato ketchup, that’s it Cheesesteak, fried onions, ketchup.
Honorable mention, Pizza steak and Cheesesteak Hoagie.
Mane mane mane
Well you obviously never had the long hot cheese whiz from Angelo’s before
Honestly, to me the hardest thing about finding a good cheesesteak outside of Philly is the roll. Most places use a roll that just doesn't work and is usually too soft on the outside. Now I've run into places in Kansas City and Denver that specifically say they get Amoroso rolls flown in. Those might actually be places that can make a good cheesesteak because they recognize the importance the roll plays in the final product.
I had a cheese steak in small town Minnesota years ago.
The put it on French bread. With green peppers on it.
I told the waitress I don't know what to call this but it's definitely not a Philly cheesesteak.
Amorosos 🤌🙌
100%
I love this!! As a Philly native living in Georgia it makes my heart warm!! Cooler sharp and Wawa and pretzels and water ice and the Eagles!!! Makes me miss home!! And also writing down Angelo’s for the next time we are there!!
Finally JOLLY is in Philly!! Welcome to Pa ❤
I moved from Jersey to down south and I cannot express to you how much I miss Wawa and being so close to getting a good Philly cheesesteak. Glad you guys got to enjoy them.
So many Philly area sandwiches are easy to miss when you move away... I'm far away, and thinking about hoagies right NOW! Haha
Yeah, me too. Boston just does not do justice to a Philly cheese steak. Grew up eating them on the boardwalk in Seaside with a big lemon that squirted out lemonade. 😋
This thread is for me. I moved to the South recently, and Wawa, cheesesteaks, our swag in general, I miss.
There's a spot in London called Passyunk Ave that's supposed to do legit cheesesteaks. Glad Chris called them out on calling it a "Philly cheesesteak"!
I wonder how they pronounce Passyunk in London? ;-)
not gonna lie, I had to read that name twice to make sure I didn't misread it. lol
@@arjaygee haha, right? even in the US that native american names trip people up especially when they’re not from the region.
@@word42069 Especially when the Native American name is pronounced with a South Philly dialect ... PASS-ee-unk vs. PASH-unk. I lived in the Bella Vista neighborhood for years, and was never sure which pronunciation was right.
I’ve heard people call it a ‘Philly’…. Like ‘no ketchup on my Philly, please’. it was like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Ducky's look at 4:06 as Luke takes a bit is priceless.
I make my own here in Connecticut where I toast local bread from Wolcott in garlic butter and the cheese I use is melted Vermont Cheddar in gobs over sliced steak and battered onion rings. It’s actually a favorite in my household
*and suddenly I want a Philly cheesesteak for lunch*
So is the cheesesteak made out of baby horse meat or blunt wrappers?
@squiffedallday is this a joke?
@@gamerb3061 that’s the joke any person from Philly says to someone when they say “Philly” cheesesteak.
It’s just cheesesteak.
Not “Philly” cheesesteak

YESSSSSS omg I've been WAITING for this one!!! Chris really took you to Angelo's and got you with the Cooper Sharp, I nearly broke my neck nodding "that's love" Philly native here and I'm so glad y'all got to enjoy yourselves
When they were saying someone born and raised in Philly, I was hoping for it to be the fresh prince.
So he could take them for a cheesesteak so good it'd make you want to slap Chris Rock? 😆

I love that you accepted mental health for ads. There are so many people that struggle and don’t feel it is acceptable to get help. Thank you all so much for helping destigmatizing it and encouraging people to get help. Your videos are great but your public service ads are helping so many people!! I am a mental health navigator and people are still a little embarrassed about it so I truly appreciate all you are doing to make it ok for people to reach out for help.
Public service ad? They are getting paid to advertise a commercial organisation? One which has had some bad press.
@@nicolad8822 Well, then what would be a better platform or service? I think the first sentence of my post recognized they are benefitting from it. There are a ton of JollyBeanfollowers and if 1 of them is in a mental health distress and reach out for help, that may be 1 life saved. Now times that by their following, way more than 1. Why would you even post a negative comment about someone appreciating their choice in ads that supports mental health??
@@nicolad8822 well... TBH near every companies out there throwing ads most have bad reps. Plus, there are not many good ads that's not the shitty mobile gaming or scummy VPN apps. And those good ones just have their own budget for true targeted advertising.
lol the American Japanese guys looking at the American Italian guys, saying.. “ya know what I mean?” Which is American for, hook it up brah, you’re on TV, we aren’t regular customers today..” giving the impression of bigger portions . I love it honestly
To wizz means to piss in the US as well.
Yes. Take a whiz and take a piss is the same thing here. It’s also the same spelling as cheese whiz and math whiz.
Yeah was gonna say we say whiz here for sure
don't whiz on the electric fence!
It's just not used often, so I'm not surprised some people are unfamiliar with it.
And only children and people that never grew up order wiz on their cheesesteaks in Philly. And there are a LOT of them. Provolone or Cooper sharp, even white American cheese make a way more elevated steak.
Go to Reading Terminal Market!!!! I lived in Philly for 7 years in Manayunk. I miss it so much. I especially miss WaWa!
Terminal Market...yeah they must go there sometime. Love that place. Best food
@@ScenicEarth365 No one calls it that, it's Reading Terminal.

Reading Terminal. If you want to be formal or educate a tourist it's: Reading Terminal Market.
Best bar food (grilled chicken sandwich (spicy) I ever had was in Manayunk but I couldn’t tell you the name it was a little hole in the wall but I will never forget that taste!!! I miss the food soooo much. Im down in the biscuit and gravy country now…
@@HopieDopie there are a few little places like that in Manayunk. Sooo good. I really loved living there.
Jolly needs to start opening restaurants in the UK. They keep saying, “we don’t have this”, so make it!
Hey hey hey, I'm an American, and I think cucumber sandwiches are amazing!! So refreshing and moreish!
John's roast pork is absolutely awesome for cheese steaks and roast pork
Been wanting to go there for a long time... gotta make it happen!
Best in the city, and no whiz, even better.
I think Food Tours went there.
@beecat4183 haha, I respect the purity of a non-whiz steak! Though occasionally I sin and order with whiz, just to go a different glavor/texture route 😅
2:55 The first bite of a cheesesteak of this video is AMAZING! The sound of the crunch, crinkling paper, smacking and oh hot/ Pleasure sounds are awesome! Welcome to Philadelphia and congratulations on your 1st cheesesteak! ❤
Thanks for coming out to Philly! Glad you liked it!❤ I hope you checked reading terminal market.
Yessss! So happy you got the right info after you came to town. As a Roxborough girl, I’ve been told to rep D’Alessandro’s but Angelo’s is absolutely the right move as you learn your preferences! Maybe shouldn’t have started Whiz Wit’ cause I think a Swiss is easier to approach first, but Chef Cho has done right by you. Hope you picked up some classic other bites while in town-or grabbed some peanut chews or O’Ryan’s Irish Potato candies before leaving town!
Josh and ollie should make one or two episodes tours foods in the midwest. To be completely honest the food isn't that interesting, but there are loads of amazing mom and pop restaurants and great bbq places. This is definitely not coming from personal bias, but I personally think that it would be a fun couple episodes.
Go to Iowa for pork tenderloin sandwiches. Nebraska for Ruzas, loved these. Wonderful Swedish food in Rockford, IL.
Have they had Cincinnati chili yet?
Have you reached the age of majority without understanding that Kansas City is the Vatican of all American bar-b-que! Have you been living in a cave.
If your food isn't that interesting you're doing life wrong. Time to move
Nope. Indiana has the best pork tenderloin sandwich, and it's the OG (Nick's Kitchen).
I'm so glad you guys came to visit Philly. I hope you got to try more of our foods before you left. People don't usually realize that philly is full of foodies super serious about good food. You're pretty much born that way here. You had some cheesesteaks you should absolutely try the cheesesteak eggroll. It was one of my favorite sides/snacks growing up. And obvi can only be found here. They mentioned pretzels, water ice, and Wawa. Definite pics. But you should visit Chinatown, The Italian Market, Old City, and Reading Terminal Market amongst others. There's tons of foods invented here/only found here if you look.
Went to law school outside of Philly. Was *very* happy that Pat’s and Geno’s were open at 1:00AM. Love watching your adventures and proud of everything you guys have accomplished. Congrats on your continued success! 💖
They are also good. They just get hate now by people in Philly because they got popular outside Philly.
They still some of the best places around.
When you're back in London check out Passyunk Avenue! The owners moved from Philly and opened several locations of the restaurant. You can get a cheesesteak and a city wide special (PBR beer and a shot). Also, try Iskabibbles on South Street or John's Roast Pork next time you're in Philly, both have amazing cheesesteaks!
As someone who waited to have a cheesesteak until they were in Philly, I love getting to see Josh & Ollie trying them for the first time there as well. Having Chef Chris along for it is absolutely fantastic. The cross-over I didn't know I needed until now. :3 💙💙
I saw this notification and ordered a Philly cheesesteak on DoorDash. Good influencers on Jolly. Josh and Ollie are clutch.
absolutely amazing to see some real philly culture and someone explaining water ice
As a Philadelphian, I love this video. Having moved away, I missed the cheesesteak and def need to visit soon. Wawa and water ice are def also staples that y’all should also try soon
Yeah, I love Philly cheese steak, but never had it in Philadelphia. So, I don't know how great it can be. Great video y'all.
Hey Chef Cho, chopped bulgogi and kimchi cheesesteak your way on your show. Do it for all the Korean-Americans, because we know that's gonna be fire!
Chris and Chief have immaculate vibes. That food looks absolutely delicious.
I love it when you feed the crew. it is like feeding time at the zoo. 4:04
LOL former philly resident, I was literally saying out lout, "Oh no, they're gonna go to the tourist spots" (geno's, pat's). And then you went to MY FAVORITE PLACE.
Ok....ROADTRIP!!! I am now craving a cheesesteak. Used to be stationed at Dover...would go to Philly on the weekends...Live in MA now...If I remember correctly, it only takes about 9 hours to get there...WORTH IT!!!
Loving these collaboration with local youtubers!
Millions of subs and millions of views and Josh and Ollie are still surprised and delighted when they are recognised x
Omg love seeing Chris’ content, this is the mashup we needed
Hey guys… Even though it was an advertisement, thank you so much for the message that you put out there about mental health, honorable mention with the way Ollie took the tense subject about the message of mental health and made it Funny and relaxed. I’ve been going through it. American war vet. I don’t know what I would do without mental health coaching. You guys rock in so many ways.
But don't use Better Help, they sell your medical info and they are worse company than Established titles.
Hey @cornflake233 mental health and wellbeing is definitely something that you should look into working on. It's an unfortunately overlooked part of healthcare for most of us here in the states. That said, look into a licensed professional therapist in your area. Better Help is not a good substitute for proper mental counseling as it's outsourced, often poorly trained, and it's therapy as a business rather than as a healthcare option (in my experience, not elligible for insurance coverage). Sessions on there are quite impersonal as it's all through their application, and it feels more like just talking to a customer service agent on a website. The advice given was all vague and generic stuff, and the scheduling issues were a nightmare. It's a pretty predatory company and I would HIGHLY advise against using it. Seriously, talk to some fellow soldiers at the VA and find out if any of them have a recommended in-person therapist in the area. You'll thank yourself for it, trust me.
Too bad it's a BetterHelp sponsorship.
Love Ollie's humor 😅😅😅
First, you guys are GREAT, and your videos are very, very well produced. It was very smart to have a small crew of professionals. You have great, likable personalities. I've lived in Philly over 20 years. The bread made for almost every place producing cheesesteaks is superb, fresh and different than you'll find other places. By far my favorite way of getting a steak is with provolone and sautéed peppers and onions.
i went to philly once and everywhere was closed except this one place we found that had like a record length bar lol but i had whiz and provolone on my cheesesteak and it haunts me to this day it was so good and this was a decade or two ago lmao
Man i just realised that the channel name 'Jolly' is a combination of Josh + Ollie . Feel so dumb for realising that this late after following them all these years .
Thanks for the great local tip on where to get a good cheesesteak! And seriously, my mouth is watering 😋
British sandwiches - Corination Chicken and mayo, Prawn and Mayo, Egg Cress, BLT, Ham and Cheese, Chicken salad Mayo, Bacon Roll, Bacon and Egg Roll. Then we have our "toasties" which are "melts" - Ham and Cheese Toastie, Cheese and Tomato Toastie... Then we have Subway on every corner which sells "Steak and Cheese sub" which is a basterdised version of this. Finally we have TONNES of boutique little sandwich shops all over London and the UK... I think Josh always puts down British in front of Americans. I feel like you guys need to go to some of the amazing places we have here. You can definitely get food on this level and higher. We are 200 years ahead of cucumber sandwiches...
I know I've never understood this. He lives in London, there are plenty of good deli/sandwich shops lol
100% agree. The guy needs more of a backbone and rep our food more.
When I lived in London from the US, I came to love British sandwich filings from going to Pret a Manger and Marks and Spencers. (Yeah, no criticism I didn't know where to get a "real" sandwich then) You guys have really great fillings that are traditional but long forgotten here. I also came to love a jacket potato with all the toppings, something most Americans don't prefer aside from cheese. People here turn up their noses when I talk about tuna and sweetcorn or baked beans on a potato. Anyway, if I get across the pond again, I plan to eat the British sandwiches I overlooked.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I hope it is. Subway is trash first and foremost. Out of your long list of sandwiches the bacon and egg or plain bacon sound the most appealing and even those I wouldn't trade you for our American bacon breakfast sandwiches, let alone the breakfast hoagie. The place they go to, there's like 10 of those type of places within a 10 minute drive of me. I'm talking all making hoagies, Italian, American, Ham &Cheese, Roast Beef, Hot Roast Beef (this can be considered in Philly a class all on it's own like the CHeesesteak), Chicken Parm, Veal Parm, Cheesesteak Hoagie, Pizzasteak, Tuna hoagie, Burgers, grilled chicken, breaded chicken, Hot Sauce chicken finger hoagie, Garlic bread cheesesteak, Calzones, Strombolis and that doesn't even include the pizza. I'm sorry but the sandwiches you mention are child's play. That's the stuff we give seniors in retirement homes.
@@burner8959Those sound disgusting to be honest. I want good quality simple ingredients in a sandwich that is just enough for lunch, not one packed with all sorts of random ingredients dripping with vile sauces and enough to serve 4 people.
Smart move getting tips from locals. They always know best!
When I was at the National Constitution Center in 2019 for a teacher institute, my Uber driver recommended the cheesesteaks at Jim’s on Sputh Street. It was FABULOUS!!! Always ask the locals!
Brits asking what Philadelphia is known for and they didn't mention Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Lifelong Philadelphian here. Provolone cheese and fried onions are the best combo!
A traditional man with discerning taste. You're 100% correct.
Meh on the Provolone. Give me some Pepper Jack, bacon, lettuce, mayo on the roll, and a bunch of ketchup. Damn good.
I’ve been waiting for this!! Welcome to Philly boys!!
I grew up in south jersey and I miss the food in Philly so much. Reading Terminal is my happy place. I miss having a Wawa pretty much walking distance from anywhere.
"Whiz" can mean a number of things in American English: to move quickly, often with a sound ("the bullet whizzed past my head"), someone who is good or particularly clever at something ("she's a whiz at bookkeeping"), or, yes, to urinate ("I gotta go take a whiz").
It's just a brand name for a specific kind of processed cheese in the case of cheesesteaks. It's usually sold in a glass jar rather than a spray can.
'take a whizz' is common vernacular in Oregon. I've also heard it said in many movies. Interesting that these guys have never heard the saying!
Ikr
I'm guessing in Philly "whiz" is often associated with the cheese and not the pissing.
The big poofy North Face coats get me everytime 🤣🤣
Yeah it's like back to the future or something, but you gotta admit, they are extremely warm!
I've been waiting for you to come to Philly and try a cheesesteak! Lots of places try to duplicate it but it doesn't even compare! I'm so glad you finally came here to try one! Also, most locals don't go to Pat's or Geno's for a good cheesesteak. There are so many more solid places.
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'm just going to say that you need to try the original Cuban sandwich here in Florida. Tampa boasts the best and the most original down in ybor City... But Miami also boast a great one too
Man... they actually came the closest to me yet and i still missed them..... dang... oh to see the day when i get to see them in person xD
“You can just call it a cheesesteak here” took me out 😂
