- In this episode I visit DeFontes Sandwich shop. Located in the Redhook neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY this old school Italian-American Deli shop began in 1922. Step inside and you'll know exactly why this is going to be an experience. Warm greetings by the employees as they make your sandwich right in front of you. Watch, Subscribe, Comment Like and Share.

You’re by far the most underrated king of the internet. A few weeks back you did Doc’s Deli. I ran right over and grabbed a few. One of my favorite sandwich shops. You rock.
Agreed!

@@dragon8623 Not getting 50 thou a day
@Paul Wall why are people obsessed with other people's obsessions
@Paul Wall u call it what u want, I still bet u have a pet rabbit.
"The bread knows it's roll" was a BAR JL! Let us find out you been in the studio cooking too lol
I came here to say "The bread know its roll..."
I think he retired from music
That potato & egg thing is a true Italian Friday night deal growing up with the homemade lentil soup… that food is the real deal. Coming from an Italian the area doing it correct 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Come on man "GAMECHANGER"
Come on man, "GAMECHANGER"
Potato & egg with mozzarella and a side of sauce
Glad you went there now try John's Deli in Brooklyn another old school shop
Potatoes and eggs reminds me of my dearly departed italian mom. I was weaned on it.
What makes this man so Unique, is he introduces us to places we never knew existed in real life! Keep it up JL safe travels where ever you and your family explores
If you from BK you know about this place
@@YoungManDub I’m not I live Florida. Lol so these things don’t exist to us we got Cuban sandwiches spots
I can't get that game changer line you do out my head 😂🤦
When you threw that napkin down I knew it was good!!!
Hahaaa!!! I came prepared....got the al pastor tacos on deck while watching today jl Jupiter!!
Defonte's aka NICK's to the Ole Timers. Absolutely THE BEST Hero Shop. Never disappointed. My classic is the Cappicola❤️
That sandwich is a Game changer
The steak sandwich looks delicious. Another great find JL.. Blessings!!❤️🙏🏼
😊
200K on the horizon!!!!!
Old Schooool at its finest.😋
Great video with soul, atmosphere, production and great presentation. Never went to Defonte's in Brooklyn, but their old location in Manhattan on 21st & Third was unbelievable and sorely missed. Great food and even better people. the rare roast beef & eggplant was the treat of treats.
JL, I’m jealous of that Florida tan you have right now!!! ☀️🌞🕶
How did I ever miss this in all my decades in Brooklyn? The sandwich shop in Bensonhurst was Lioni's, which has been my go to place for years, but now I gotta hit Defonte's. The steak pizzaiol' got me goin', and potatoes and eggs for breakfast brings back memories.
@Sir jiggy Widit I get it about Bensonhurst; I mentioned Lioni's because he went there several months back and didn't recall the name.
Defontes blows out lionis you'll be pleased
As a born and bread (no pun intended) Bensonhurst kid, with a father who grew up in Redhook, Defontes is MILES ahead of Lioni’s. It’s untouched, it’s super well known and yet still hidden. It’s absolutely one of the best places on the east coast IMO.
Can’t wait to see JL in the Bay Area Cali
7:05 that bite crunch was dope🤣🤣🤣😜
I worked in RH yrs ago and this was always our breakfast and lunch spot. We took turns driving down to get our grub for the crew. Hidden gem for sure!
Salaam everyone, never heard of this place but those sandwich look amazing
All right it's about time you came to Brooklyn like I said before bro come to Brooklyn and you have a lot of good food the front a is my old stomping grounds peace loving soul brother man thank you
OMG I see you ❤ sandwiches just as much as me.
In all my 50 years, I've never heard someone say... "a sturdy egg" lol, but it's all good JL
Much Success and Appreciation JLJUPITER😃😄😉😍🌇
I can say it - GAME CHANGER !
I need to stop watching these before bedtime 😂💀
So glad they toasted the bread
One of my favorites! I love this shop. I always get the firehouse.. roast pork, fried 🍆, 🥦 rabe, and provolone. It's to die for. 😋 So consistently fresh, and tasty.
All of those sandwiches looked great! Even the hot food you were showing in the cases looked delicious. Wish I lived closer😯😋
I live with the dish washer and he doesn't wash his hands after taking a piss or shit
When you get back to the Philly area try Lennies Hoagies in Roxborough
“Harmonious Sandwich Everyone is Playing Their Role”.. nice work JL
The best of the best. Nothing compares
Sal, kris & Charlie’s deli. Defonte is 💣
I know you said you're not going to say it anymore, BUT I know you're dying to say GAME CHANGER🤣
You are the best going anywhere and highlighting the best foods around!!
Great video to start the New Year. You need to check out Eve's in Norristown for a Zep.
Mannnnnn your videos are always top tier and I love the interviews with the owners. 2022 you hitting 1 million much deserved.
That's what I'm talking about 💪😁
Looks great wish I there to indulge in one of those sandwiches
Big sandwich energy. Looks D-delicious…🤤
Love Defontes! I live closeby and you can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches.
Beef stew in bread with cheese .....just thinking about I can taste heaven.
I don’t understand why you don’t have more subbies!!! This is literally one of the best food channels I am subscribed to!
It's because he is a lot more niche than most food vloggers. He focusses on mom and pop restaurants in the Northeast primarily and he has a hip hop / singing / comedy / movie skit angle to his channel which is very specific. It caters to older people who grew up on 90s hip hop and rnb, movies etc and good local unknown restaurants. Very specific audience.
@@kayflip2233 I'm from Southern Africa and follow this man.learnt about chopped cheese n making the same hoagies. Yeah niche but if you like your chow you can appreciate this man's reviews.
Born in 93 and I mess wit dude tuff protect the man at all costs! 💯
DeMonte and Defonte...Ha ha, Love it! I grew up on potatoes and eggs.
Everytime I watch your vids, I make sure I’m eating too cus shiiiit…this be making me hungry lol. Love the vids!
THATS HOME RIGHT THERE RH!!!!! DELFONTES IS CLASSIC
Not a fan of eggs but I will drive from Philly to try that steak sandwich 😋 beef stew inside the perfect bread... you had me at beef stew lol
He is in Brooklyn sis
Tiff, it’s like stew, but it’s with a tomato base as opposed to a beef broth type base. Steak Pizziola is a traditional Italian stewed beef usually cooked with plumb tomatos and onion for hours in its own juices to make that thin oily but savory juice/sauce they use. The cheese help to
Make it a bit creamy. Shit slaps so hard. If us Brooklyn kids drive up for some cheesesteaks you guys need to drive down here for a steak Pizziola, get it with extra sauce and extra grated cheese. Trust.
You make it real.. that beef sandwich looks yummilious
So glad that I started following you. I saw you with Mark wiens. Come to Florida. Delicious food.
I'm appreciating your words regarding the beautiful bread 🥖 and also your joy with regards to the sandwiches, that roast beef especially... A great sandwich, it's a love thing... 🥪 😊 ❤ 🌻
This is ridiculous. Back to back bangers... I can't man. This food looks so good and I'm dieting!!! Food looks so darn good
JL JUPITER
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BRO
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 BABY
Look good fam 👍
Best steak pizziola sandwich ever!!! Nothing better than a defonte’s sandwich
J.L. told you you would like it. Next time you are there try the Roast beef with pepper jack cheese the Motts and roast beef and when you get the pepper jack roast beef both heroes are outstanding. Also their pastami is amazing also. Actually everything is amazing at Delfonti's. I grew up not far from there. Also lived in Philadelphia in Olney and Germantown for years. But Delfonti's is #1 on the eastcoast for heroes not hoagie and don't get that twisted in Brooklyn it's a hero not a hoagie. Their regular samwichs are outstanding also. That was my spot for decades. Especially when I drove NYC Yellow cabs in Manhattan. I went past there everyday on my way into Manhattan and would stop for something. The potato and egg hell I basically lived off that for decades. But just being real about it. They are my #1 spot on the eastcoast. And the hero rolls have been baked in the same bakery I believe it is on Henry Street since they opened Delfonti's. Brother you will have to make a few trips up from Philly just to be able to try everything that they have there. Next time you go take your crew with you bro. You will never be disappointed at Delfonti's I will guarantee you that. I will put them right up against the iconic hoagie spots in Philly any day of the week and I love them both. Here's a good spot to check out in Brooklyn for roast beef Brennan and Carrs on the corner of Avenue U and Nostrand Avenue. Check it out if you haven't already been there. You won't be disappointed. They also make some amazing pulled pork there also.
@Sir jiggy Widit you don't have to if ya don't want to. But dam learn to write dude.
GO BIRDS!! Transplanted Philly guy, Born in Philly raised in the Burbs!! Living in Brooklyn since 86. Made a Hoagie for dinner last night!!
Mike

Next time I’m in NYC!!!! And I’ll say it again, you must go to The Pork Store in Long Island (just outside of queens). It’s 🔥.
I truly enjoy your reviews. I grew up near Red Hook and you bring me home w these bodega & food videos. You bring me home each video. Thank you for all you do. Stay blessed🦋✨
Great review! That food looked amazing!!
Absolutely crushed this video! Had me salivating when that hot roast beef hit 🔥Wishing you continued blessings my G. 👊🏽

I used to go to the Gramercy location before they closed down. The sandwiches were amazing.
I'm hooked on your reviews
Thanks for the review. I’ll stop by when I go there. 👍🏽
Always good food, and nice people. You know how to hunt out the good stuff, off of the beaten path. Next time we go up north, I will follow your lead to find some great food. Your hard work and dedication is much appreciated.
Glad you made the trip Bro. I'm one of the ones that put you on Defonte's. The line used to U around the store and out the door at lunchtime. If you got to the counter and didn't know what you wanted... problems for you. That place is sandwich paradise.
Great review!!! I want a DeFonte’s now!!

Dope!! Was there few months back. Best in Brooklyn! #Eagles!! Philly rep.

I worked on the docks in Red Hook back in 1984 and I'll tell you something It was a complete shitshow. We were lucky enough just to make it in and out of there alive let alone go looking for a sandwich.
Cause the mafia right?

You are an Eagles fan, I like you even more.
You know it's official, when YOUR BITE IS immediately followed by YOU LOOKING at the sandwich/grinder/hoagie str8 afterwards!!!
