It’s time for the CLASSICS! 😍 We wanted to show you guys a couple of less publicised but no less delicious places for classic American dishes (eg Katz’s doesn’t need any more publicity and you’ve seen it all before). Also a CORRECTION: Nathan's Famous hotdogs are beef, not pork like we mentioned. Sorry about that guys! Thanks for your continued support- hit that 👍 if you enjoyed this one and SUBSCRIBE for loads more food content! Big love, Thomas & Sheena
Hi Jade! Big love back mate! We managed to eat in the Manhattan Chinatown a couple of times but didn’t film there. We totally have to get back and film in all of them! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
I really regret I didn’t eat at any of these legendary places when I visited New York last year. If I ever go back there, I’m definitely gonna have to go to these places for a meal.
Bet you still ate really well though mate! Hope you get back there and get a chance to eat some of these dishes- the burger, fried chicken and pastrami sandwich were all must eats! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
I don't start multiple comments but after reading the nonsense from the burger _expert_ I have to give my stock response to the ketchup on hamburgers argument. Eat what you like but feel comfort knowing you're in very good company. *_Anthony Bourdain_* liked ketchup on burgers. *_Jacques Pépin_* always puts ketchup on burgers. *_Bobby Flay_* owns 20+ burger joints and he puts ketchup on his burgers. *_Matty Matheson's_* ideal cheeseburger is lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard and ketchup. I've been to JG Melon and that was indeed an excellent looking burger, Thomas. 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don’t think we’ve received a more self righteous comment. He would have had a field day with Sheena- she’s partial to a bit of mayo on her cheeseburger alongside ketchup and mustard. Very content to be in the company that you listed 😄 Cheers, Thomas
You may get a kick out of this or find it strange. The ideal burger condiment is regularly discussed around here so occasionally I'll pick up a basic pub cheeseburger (lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles) takeaway, no condiments. At home, I'll cut it into quarters and do a taste test. Recently I did one segment with mayo; one with mustard; one with ketchup; one with peanut butter (it's a thing) and I was shocked!! that the mayo was the best. But of course mixing is obviously the way to go. 😀👍
This is awesome Tosh 😆 Not sure about the peanut butter- but I can see how it would be a thing.... Yep- my ultimate condiment combo is ketchup, mayo and mustard- can't beat it in my books 🙌
Pfff burger expert. If he truly was one he'd know kechup is a classic condiment for burgers. Thomas im with you and really its an each to their own tastes when it comes to the humble beef burger. Im a kechup and dijon mustard( im no a fan of American hot mustard ) kinda gal. Oh and Sheena fried chicken is the bomb. Im a Korean fried chicken addict.
Kellie Squire thanks! Couldn’t agree more that it’s an each to his own thing. I mean if I was putting strawberry jam and cream on there then I’d expect some comments but ketchup and mustard is just a classic burger combo right?! That fried chicken was amazing. We wanted to return for another meal but sadly our time just didn’t allow it. Love Korean fried chicken also. It’s always top of our list when we get to Korea. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Cheers, Thomas 😀
All the food looked delicious but the fried chicken looked great. Have to admit though when Sheena bit into it I listened for the crunch. There it is! Great video guys. Looking forward to more great videos from you guys!
😄😄😄😄 gotta have that crispy chicken crunch! Thanks for watching and commenting Bob, so happy you enjoyed this video- it was a great day of eating! Cheers, Sheena
We were so gutted we didn't get a chance to return for a second round Michael Carmack! We loved it so much. Next time we're going for the buffet 😆 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Oh gosh dswetz1, I was so sad we ran out of time to get back there. It was such great fried chicken- Thomas is keen to check out their buffet on our next trip 😆 thanks for watching this one 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Absolutely am loving your New York series Shena and Thomas, I am hoping to one day experience the same. I want to go to Manhattan. Awesome video guys x
*_NYC hot dog_* - A mustard and sauerkraut dog is delicious and one of my many favorite versions but when in the city you definitely must try a hot dog with *onion sauce* which is classic NYC. 👍 *_Pastrami_* - That looks ridiculously delicious. I did a pastrami on rye crawl with friends years ago. Picked up a loaf of rye and mustard and went to Ben's, Pastrami Queen, 2nd Ave Deli, Sarge's and Carnegie Deli (now closed). To avoid an overdose we bought one sandwich from each place and used the extra rye to make four minis - one slice of rye, mustard and pastrami. Did not do any side by side ratings since we dove in as soon as we bought the sandwiches but the overwhelming conclusion was that the pastrami from *_Katz's_* was #1 which we visited the day before. 😂 I recall that Pastrami Queen also received high praise as well. *_Excellent day, guys!_*
Hi Tosh! Onion sauce- will definitely give that a go next time 😄 love how you and your mates did a pastrami on rye crawl- that is epic 🙌 Have you had Katz’s recently? We’ve had lots of friends visit in the past few months and say they found it really dry. The pastrami in this video really blew us away. Couldn’t get over the tenderness and the depth of flavour. So happy you enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
I've dined at Katz's a few times but not since 2012, Sheena. Haven't done any reading on New York pastrami until tonight but I see that several local publications and NYC based multi-media organizations still rate Katz's pastrami at or near the top. Seems to me people love to hate on Katz's mainly because they are so expensive. It's the same with Jay Fai in Bangkok. Les Deux Magots in Paris. I could go on. Whenever people say anything negative about these well regarded places, they always sneak in a line about how expensive it is. "The service was terrible, the crab omelette is overrated, I had better drunken noodles at XYZ and oh by the way, her prices are ridiculous." 😀 The negative comments consistently follow this pattern. Since you two have lived in Australia for so long you're used to high prices but to a lot of folks $23 for a pastrami sandwich is offensive. It's a theory. Ha.
Totally agree on the price thing and how people always bring it into the equation. Our friend who went to Katz's recently though is a chef and was eating all over the show at the $$$$ places in town so I don't think the price played a factor in this instance. We'll definitely eat there next time- if only to satisfy our curiosity! One of those- has to be done things. Must admit- we did pop in on our way past to just stand and smell the place 😝😀
I would definitely trust a chef indeed. Still, Katz's has had the same owner for over 30 years and has not changed any of their recipes so must have been an off day for the pastrami. It happens for sure. But I'm with you on a visit because it's so iconic (and delicious 😀).
Omg they were both INSANE 🤤🤤🤤 That pastrami just melted in your mouth. I would never normally have a hotdog without t-sauce so found it so interesting that it’s not the traditional way!! 😝 Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate! Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😍 big love back Jo McGee! Hope you enjoyed this series mate- we loved filming it and can’t wait to get back for more eating. Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
😄😄😄 thanks NYCBuddha! It’s what we’re always doing after all 😆 thanks for watching and for checking out our channel. Hope you enjoy the content on here mate. Cheers, Sheena
Nathan’s hotdog was the very first meal I had when I first visited NYC 15yrs ago.....simple, basic & delicious I also had Nathan’s when I visited Victoria Market Melbourne
They’re in Vic Market?! Crazy! We really liked the simplicity of it. Very tasty. Thanks for watching and commenting mate John, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
It totally was mate! It was awesome getting to eat all the classics- something that had to be done 😆 thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
😜😜😜😜 I really don’t think I could physically eat a burger without sauce and mustard. Such vital ingredients in my books! Thanks for watching and commenting Pheng Ov, so glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
It was fantastic Tina Marie Farmer! I wish we'd had time to return- it was such great fried chook! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 Will pop it on the list for next time! Thanks for the recommendation 5cats 2kids 😄 hope you enjoyed this one- we had such a blast in NYC- desperate to get back to the States soon! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
i went all the way to coney island to try nathan's hotdog and it's kinda disappointing.. it taste alright a bit too expensive for what it is i prefer gray's papaya it's waaay cheaper and it taste better imo and their papaya drink is a bonus! :D
Hi Frodokeuh, thanks so much for watching and commenting! This is so good to know- Gray’s was on our list but we ran out of time 😭 we definitely balked a little at the cost of Nathan’s. Gray’s is on the list for our next visit whoop. Hope you enjoyed the video mate. Cheers, Sheena
C'mon guys, when it comes to a classic New York pastrami sandwich - should've gone to Katz's (at least for the atmosphere). Love your channel though, keep it up.
Hi Samuel Giles, thanks for watching mate, we’re so happy you are enjoying our content 😄 we deliberately didn’t film at Katz’s- yea it’s a classic NYC pastrami sandwich but there are hundreds of blog posts and videos about it and it’s in all the guidebooks. Where possible we try to show something new and shine a spotlight on the small guy whose food is just as much worth eating 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Hi thomas and sheena...sorry for the long period of absense...was shifting through jobs and locations...so good to see you guys in new york city! I guess you should explore flushing too...they got some amazing chinese food!!
Hi mate! Great to see you back in the comments 😄 hope the move went well and that you’re loving your new job! We’re so gutted we ran out of time to eat in Flushing- definitely on the list for next time 😍 thanks for watching and commenting- hope you like what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😍 thanks so much Lorey 52, it makes us so happy to hear that! Oh gosh- I want to eat everything all over again 😄 thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
😂😂😂😂 you should have seen us Mrs. Lady Kat, every time we saw a big gulp we were like “omg look at the size of that thing, it’s just like in the movies, bigger than his head!” Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you liked the video 😍 Cheers, Sheena
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 love a trad sausage sizzle! It felt really wrong not putting sauce on this hotdog but when in Rome 😄 thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
You have your facts wrong. First of all, it is a beef hot dog, not pork. Nathan was Jewish and he would never create a pork hot dog. Also, you put the mustard on top of the sauerkraut. That is a definite no no for hot dog experts. Also, you missed the french fries which go so well with the hot dog. Thank you.
Hi. Thanks for watching. Sorry re the incorrect meat info given. We picked that up and corrected it in the comment and description on the video. What's interesting though is, I believe, they're not kosher (although you can get a skinless version which I believe is). Please correct me if I'm wrong. Do you like the mustard under the suerkraut? As they do the sausage and the kraut before you get to the sauce station that wasn't really an option. We've had a few people mention their french fries are good. We'll have to try them next time. Thanks again for watching and we hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Thomas 😀
It was such a great day of eating! Mmm that fried chicken- I’ll be thinking about it for years to come! Thanks for watching and commenting chathu karunadasa! Cheers, Sheena
Yep you’re correct sorry about that. We popped a correction in our pinned comment but got it wrong at the time of filming. Thanks so much for watching and we hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Thomas 😀
1000% yes mate! If you like KFC you would have loved this fried chicken. Oh gosh my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
🤣🤣🤣🤣 was it!? It said Bold and the Beautiful on the screen but it must have actually been “up next”. My bad 😝 Thanks for watching and for the correction 1981cherokee1 😄 Cheers, Sheena
🙈 I don’t know if I could do it Reid Naidoo- I’m pretty partial to a great burger just as it is 😆 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
So this won't be a popular opinion but not a fan of NYC. Been there lots and lots of times and no doubt it's food scene and diversity is amazing but will take Chicago or LA over it. Sadly would have said San Francisco as well but the food scene there is being decimated by the high costs. Hoping you guys can do Chicago at some point because you really killed it in this series and would love to see you explore the food scene there.
Hi Michael, thanks so much for watching and commenting. Different strokes for different folks 😄 we were just talking about Chicago the other day, we’d love to get there to eat and film! So happy you enjoyed this series, thanks for the kind words! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Don't get me wrong I get why NYC is a must for so many people. Sometimes you just have a place that you have always the bad luck moments. It happens as you know in travel. I will defend it's greatness of course but I do tell people there is more than NYC to see and my home city, now a lifer in NorCal, I know you would love Chicago. If you plan to go I look forward to give some suggestions including you need to do a meet up with numbersixwithcheese guys, fellow YT people.
🤣 lots of practise mate 😝 oh gosh I’d return to NYC for that chicken! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this one Kakibot 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Hi Gerd Papenburg, hope you kept watching long enough to hear us say that we show you some of the best versions of these foods in NYC 😄 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😍 what a lovely comment to receive! We’re so glad you’re enjoying our content Nymph E- hope you enjoy what we have coming up mate! Thanks for watching 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Nymph E: I also discovered these two "hidden gems" on there Istanbul trip with Josh and Ashley and they definitely haven't dissapointed me!! Glad you came on board!!☺
Hi Again Thomas & Sheena! Since yesterday Mexico food videos I’ve been watching as much as I can & came across NYC, I live in NYC a place to go that I recommend is in Sunset Park,Brooklyn for some great authentic tacos & elotes! Also NYC Chinese Food joint & and NYC deli sandwich on a roll with Ham & cheese lettuce tomatoes salt pepper and vinegar! So good! Hope to see another NY content!
Hi Christy! Thanks for watching mate 😄 you’re so lucky to live in such an incredible city. Thanks so much for the recommendations- we can’t wait to get back soon. We wish we’d had so much longer in town! Hope you are keeping safe and healthy. NYC has been hit so hard with the virus and we are thinking of you all 💕 Cheers, Sheena
🤤🤤🤤🤤 oh man that meal totally hit the spot. Love me a bit of hot sauce!! Thanks for watching and commenting Brian Fantana- hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
I just started watching some of your auckland videos as im heading there for a holiday in nov. I have binge watched about 30 videos now 😂 Thank you 😊 please dont stop making videos, I loooove them 🥰 Great to see kiwis making these food travel vids, super cool 😊 i appeciate you guys!!
Awww thank you Jahni 🥰 and SO exciting that you’re heading to Auckland in November woo hoo- you’re going to eat so well 🤤 Thanks so much for binge watching 😂 and for your lovely words mate! Cheers, Sheena
😆😂 quite hard on the ole back pocket we must say Karen! But worth it! How exciting that you’re heading to NYC in May- bet you have a list of things to do and eat the length of your arm. Have a fantastic trip! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
😭😭😭 hospitality really needs a lifeline in cities like New York. They’re a vital part of the fabric. Thanks for watching and commenting Joe, hope you’re keeping safe and healthy. Cheers, Sheena
That sucks Barb N!!! We really enjoyed our hotdog. Didn’t have the fries though. Have you been to Gray’s Papaya? We’ve had a few people rave about their hotdogs so it’s on our list for next time! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
My favourite sauces in a great burger are, mustard Mayo and mango chutney 😉 I put Mayo and mustard on one side and swirl together , the put the mango chutney on the other side. It brings all the other components together. Imo 😌🥰
😍😍😍😍 will have to give mango chutney a go! Thomas once brought home a box of mangoes which were turning and proceeded to make the most delicious homemade mango chutney I have ever tasted. We used to go through about half a jar each time it was opened 🤤 Thanks for watching and watching Susan! Hope you have a lovely weekend 😘 Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate I bet it was yum. I don’t know if you get it there but we have a brand here called Geetas and it has chilli and whole fennel seeds in it. It has a great kick to it. Maybe you could add those to your next batch, I know you guys would love it! 😁💋💋✌️💕
I’m so happy you guys didn’t end up in all the typical tourist traps that every other you tuber goes to you found authentic iconic nyc foods away from the lines and crowds of tourists way to go 👍
Thanks so much for your kind words mate! We love finding the local spots and far out we ate well in NYC. Can’t wait to return one day as we barely scratched the surface. Thanks for watching and commenting 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Charles Pan Fried Chicken was a great choice! Been there a few times over the years. They moved down near where a close friend used to live. Oh yeah mac and cheese and collards are the way to go for the sides!
Oh man, I wish we’d had more time to go back for a second round. It was sooo good. Thanks for watching and commenting guys, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for the video! It must have been so different there because of the tipping you had to do. As someone who isn't used to tipping, I was really against that concept of compulsory tipping when I was in North America and was mean enough to not tip at all when service was horrible (waited for one hour for food at one restaurant). I know that waiters there don't have a minimum wage but the idea of having to give a certain percentage was still hard to sink in.
It’s really hard to get used to isn’t it A O? I can’t get my head around why the employer isn’t responsible for paying decent wages to their employees and why it’s the responsibility of the customers! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoyed the series! Cheers, Sheena
@Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena Sheena, the history of tipping in the U.S. is quite interesting but just know that currently it's not simply the employers not willing to pay a living wage. In high-end to mid range restaurant environments, it's the wait staff who want to continue the tipping culture. $50,000 is easy while six figures USD is common. Not in $10 per plate joints of course but still, in cheap restos with high volume and table turnover, a waiter can earn way higher than one realizes. AND it's a great profession for those without any skills or formal education. Again, it's complicated but a very interesting economic, racial, gender, class and social matter.
Thanks for this Tosh- it's all very interesting- I'm going to do a bit of reading about it. I like how you point out that it's a good profession for those without any formal education or a trade. That makes a lot of sense. And I can see why you wouldn't want to give it up if you're earning $$$$! 😝
@Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena In my professional life, I'm involved with the challenges of America's workforce, entry level to professional, so low skilled occupations are of major concern for me. In my personal life, I eat out almost every single day so I interact with loads of bartenders and wait staff. I'm your classic over-tipper here in the U.S. and abroad. 😂
So many summer memories at Coney Island rides and Nathan’s Hot Dog. Nothing beats that snap. Yes, the natives steered your correctly... only sauerkraut and mustard ... or be subjected to a lot of side eyes of judgment ;).... lol
haha always gotta trust the amazing locals. They're the best! Coney Island had such a great feel about it. I can imagine so many New Yorkers have brilliant childhood memories from there. So cool. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀😀🙌🙌👍🏼👍🏼
We know right?! We were so gutted we didn’t get to film 😆 ahhh well, can’t win em all! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
So delicious Sheena and Thomas and love the work you guys both doing, please come to visit us in Australia someday, lol we are just a few hours flight ride
Walter Pashi: If you check out there website they lived in Melbourne Australia for a few years prior to creating "Chasing a Plate". Im sure they will be back to "A land down under" soon, fingers crossed☺
Thanks so much Walter Pashi! We love Australia and would love to do a massive series there 😍 hope we can make it back soon! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you like the content we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍 thank YOU for watching Max! Oh my goodness- such a great day of eating. I’d totally do that day all over again! Thanks for taking the time to comment mate. Cheers, Sheena
It’s so goooooooood!! We didn’t want to leave 😭 thanks for watching this one mate, hope you enjoyed it. And hope your travels are going awesomely! Cheers, Sheena
It was brilliant Con Psalios- the meat was cooked beautifully and it was so juicy and flavoursome. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
😄😄😄😄 thanks so much Alina Petrea, so happy that you enjoy them- we always get a kick out of the history of the spots we film at. Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Pastrami is what I want as my last meal!! I dream about it here in the Midwest where it’s not available!! 😩 Thx for showing a local deli!!! Hooray Thomas!!! Only mustard on a hot dog! If you’re still in the States you can buy Nathan’s hot dogs in the grocery . They’re just as yummy at home. My mama made her chicken in a cast iron frying pan . Delicious! Mac and cheese looked a bit dry, but Sheena, you were too sweet to mention. Loved this video!!!! Continued safe travels... Love you guys
Hi Terese, thanks so much for watching and we’re so happy you enjoyed this one 😄 oh gosh bet your mama’s fried chicken was incredible 😍 what sort of sides did she serve with it? That Mac and cheese did look dry but luckily it wasn’t when eaten- although extra gooey ooziness is always a bonus 😂 oh gosh, you can’t get pastrami where you are at all? I wish we were still in the States- 6 days was far too little time- fingers crossed we make it back soon! Big love 😘 Sheena
Yes, you have to try the old classics when in New York!!! Thomas - you were in love with that burger!!!!😋 Root Beer is our Fav !!!! Odd but addictive flavour!!!! Nathans is a cool joint 👍 Hope you both enjoyed your time in New York🙂🙂👍
We loved our 6 days there guys- not enough time though! That burger was epic- would totally eat it again! Thanks for watching and commenting you two, hope you’re both well! 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Fried chicken is life! It’s líeles favorite food too. Yum! Mac and cheese ! We used to go to Jamaica in queens to get fried chicken So nice to see this spot! We will have to visit next time we are in the city!
Ahhhhh! Thanks so much for that info. Happy to admit I totally didn’t get that from eating it (hotdogs often leave me in wonder re what meat they are made from). It really didn’t have a beef taste at all so it didn’t cross my mind. Is this so they’re halal and kosher? Thanks for watching and apologies for the incorrect info. Cheers, Thomas 😀
The original Nathan was Jewish and would not have used pork. But do to the manufacturing process they are neither kosher or halal. Most all hot dogs in NY from street carts or delis are beef hot dogs.
That chicken, greens and mac and cheese looked so good. That looks a lot like what I had at Sylvia's in Harlem, but I had some black-eyed peas instead of mac & cheese.
How was Sylvia’s Joey Carlyle? Mmm will add an order of black eyed peas next time! It was such a great meal 😍 thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed the video mate. Cheers, Sheena
Wowweeee goodness gracious another yummy upload 😋😋. Ok, my first choice is Nathan's hot dog as it always brings back nostalgic & happy memories for me, with a close tie between the droolilicious pastrami & juicy burger 😋😋. Cute blooper Sheena & I like the way Thomas describes the juicy burger: saucy, mustardy & oniony! Great vid as usual guys, cant wait for the next upload. Take care & cheers Sheena & Thomas! 💜💚
Hi Ar Em, thanks so much for watching and commenting mate! Love how emotional food can be and how it can transport you to a time and place- so neat that Nathan’s hotdog can do that for you! Oh gosh that pastrami blew me away! So happy you enjoyed this one! 😘 Cheers, Sheena
It does look dry DrewCSCo 719 but it was actually not bad- although more cheesy ooze is never a bad thing! I love both when it comes to fried chook- crisp and crunchy or the slightly softer skin and seasoning. This had so much flavour. Wish we’d had time to get back for more! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Hi Elizabeth Adams, nope not exaggerating. We’re just loving the food and are really excited about eating, travelling and getting to share these incredible dishes with our audience. We’re just having a damn good time 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Hi Travel with Style, thanks for watching! We don’t mind a bit of Jollibee but I’ve gotta say, this fried chicken kicks Jollibee’s butt 😆 hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
We’ve had so many friends say that to us recently 3005sh- they talked about the pastrami being really dry. Sucks that you had a bad experience- as it’s definitely not cheap 😝 Hope you get back to NYC again soon and have a better pastrami sandwich to make up for it! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
It does look it doesn’t it mate? It wasn’t in the mouth but I would have happily had more oozy cheesy sauce 😄 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
🤤🤤🤤🤤 I’m pretty sure there was a bacon cheeseburger on the menu ozza26- right up your alley! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
Is it mate?! Hope you get to visit the original one day! It was super tasty. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this series guys. S x

We love you guys, NYC has the best foods here in America and by the way can you go to NYC Chinatown? It's so amazing there and you'll love it.
Hi Jade! Big love back mate! We managed to eat in the Manhattan Chinatown a couple of times but didn’t film there. We totally have to get back and film in all of them! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
I really regret I didn’t eat at any of these legendary places when I visited New York last year. If I ever go back there, I’m definitely gonna have to go to these places for a meal.
Bet you still ate really well though mate! Hope you get back there and get a chance to eat some of these dishes- the burger, fried chicken and pastrami sandwich were all must eats! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Thank you for your work for the video. I really enjoyed it!!
😍😍😍 we’re so happy you did! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
I don't start multiple comments but after reading the nonsense from the burger _expert_ I have to give my stock response to the ketchup on hamburgers argument. Eat what you like but feel comfort knowing you're in very good company.
*_Anthony Bourdain_* liked ketchup on burgers.
*_Jacques Pépin_* always puts ketchup on burgers.
*_Bobby Flay_* owns 20+ burger joints and he puts ketchup on his burgers.
*_Matty Matheson's_* ideal cheeseburger is lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard and ketchup.
I've been to JG Melon and that was indeed an excellent looking burger, Thomas. 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don’t think we’ve received a more self righteous comment. He would have had a field day with Sheena- she’s partial to a bit of mayo on her cheeseburger alongside ketchup and mustard. Very content to be in the company that you listed 😄 Cheers, Thomas
You may get a kick out of this or find it strange. The ideal burger condiment is regularly discussed around here so occasionally I'll pick up a basic pub cheeseburger (lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles) takeaway, no condiments. At home, I'll cut it into quarters and do a taste test. Recently I did one segment with mayo; one with mustard; one with ketchup; one with peanut butter (it's a thing) and I was shocked!! that the mayo was the best. But of course mixing is obviously the way to go. 😀👍
This is awesome Tosh 😆 Not sure about the peanut butter- but I can see how it would be a thing.... Yep- my ultimate condiment combo is ketchup, mayo and mustard- can't beat it in my books 🙌
Pfff burger expert. If he truly was one he'd know kechup is a classic condiment for burgers. Thomas im with you and really its an each to their own tastes when it comes to the humble beef burger. Im a kechup and dijon mustard( im no a fan of American hot mustard ) kinda gal. Oh and Sheena fried chicken is the bomb. Im a Korean fried chicken addict.
Kellie Squire thanks! Couldn’t agree more that it’s an each to his own thing. I mean if I was putting strawberry jam and cream on there then I’d expect some comments but ketchup and mustard is just a classic burger combo right?! That fried chicken was amazing. We wanted to return for another meal but sadly our time just didn’t allow it. Love Korean fried chicken also. It’s always top of our list when we get to Korea. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Cheers, Thomas 😀
I never could eat alone in America. It's HUGE.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it sure is! Everything in gigantic 😆 thanks for watching and commenting Rain Zakaria. Hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
Looks great 😋 Love it
Such a delicious day of eating! Thanks for watching Dream walker. Cheers, Sheena
All the food looked delicious but the fried chicken looked great. Have to admit though when Sheena bit into it I listened for the crunch. There it is! Great video guys. Looking forward to more great videos from you guys!
😄😄😄😄 gotta have that crispy chicken crunch! Thanks for watching and commenting Bob, so happy you enjoyed this video- it was a great day of eating! Cheers, Sheena
We love burgers too!
Nothing like a classic burger
This one totally hit the spot!! Thanks for watching guys 😍
Charles's is AMAZING! Easily the best fried chicken in NYC.
We were so gutted we didn't get a chance to return for a second round Michael Carmack! We loved it so much. Next time we're going for the buffet 😆 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Yeah! Coney Island hot dogs! I used to take all my Spaniard friends there for a true American experience
😍 the Boardwalk and the amusement park is so whimsical!
That fried chicken looked delish! Diners loss to not let yall film. Cheers to you both!
Oh gosh dswetz1, I was so sad we ran out of time to get back there. It was such great fried chicken- Thomas is keen to check out their buffet on our next trip 😆 thanks for watching this one 😘 Cheers, Sheena
dswetz1: Anthony Bourdain filmed in there years ago! It was pretty awesome actually. I guess the Diner is only attracted to celebritys. There loss!!
Absolutely am loving your New York series Shena and Thomas, I am hoping to one day experience the same. I want to go to Manhattan. Awesome video guys x
Hope you get to visit one day soon FitAngie! NYC rocks! Thanks for watching and commenting, so happy you enjoyed this series mate. Cheers, Sheena
*_NYC hot dog_* - A mustard and sauerkraut dog is delicious and one of my many favorite versions but when in the city you definitely must try a hot dog with *onion sauce* which is classic NYC. 👍
*_Pastrami_* - That looks ridiculously delicious. I did a pastrami on rye crawl with friends years ago. Picked up a loaf of rye and mustard and went to Ben's, Pastrami Queen, 2nd Ave Deli, Sarge's and Carnegie Deli (now closed). To avoid an overdose we bought one sandwich from each place and used the extra rye to make four minis - one slice of rye, mustard and pastrami. Did not do any side by side ratings since we dove in as soon as we bought the sandwiches but the overwhelming conclusion was that the pastrami from *_Katz's_* was #1 which we visited the day before. 😂 I recall that Pastrami Queen also received high praise as well.
*_Excellent day, guys!_*
Hi Tosh! Onion sauce- will definitely give that a go next time 😄 love how you and your mates did a pastrami on rye crawl- that is epic 🙌 Have you had Katz’s recently? We’ve had lots of friends visit in the past few months and say they found it really dry. The pastrami in this video really blew us away. Couldn’t get over the tenderness and the depth of flavour. So happy you enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
I've dined at Katz's a few times but not since 2012, Sheena. Haven't done any reading on New York pastrami until tonight but I see that several local publications and NYC based multi-media organizations still rate Katz's pastrami at or near the top. Seems to me people love to hate on Katz's mainly because they are so expensive. It's the same with Jay Fai in Bangkok. Les Deux Magots in Paris. I could go on. Whenever people say anything negative about these well regarded places, they always sneak in a line about how expensive it is. "The service was terrible, the crab omelette is overrated, I had better drunken noodles at XYZ and oh by the way, her prices are ridiculous." 😀 The negative comments consistently follow this pattern. Since you two have lived in Australia for so long you're used to high prices but to a lot of folks $23 for a pastrami sandwich is offensive. It's a theory. Ha.
Totally agree on the price thing and how people always bring it into the equation. Our friend who went to Katz's recently though is a chef and was eating all over the show at the $$$$ places in town so I don't think the price played a factor in this instance. We'll definitely eat there next time- if only to satisfy our curiosity! One of those- has to be done things. Must admit- we did pop in on our way past to just stand and smell the place 😝😀
I would definitely trust a chef indeed. Still, Katz's has had the same owner for over 30 years and has not changed any of their recipes so must have been an off day for the pastrami. It happens for sure. But I'm with you on a visit because it's so iconic (and delicious 😀).
OMG THAT BURGER AND PASTRAMI SANDWICH 😍😍
Another great video! However, the hotdog with no tomato sauce I find very controversial 😂😂
Omg they were both INSANE 🤤🤤🤤 That pastrami just melted in your mouth. I would never normally have a hotdog without t-sauce so found it so interesting that it’s not the traditional way!! 😝 Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate! Cheers, Sheena
Glad you took us up on David’s Brisket House! Very slept-on gem for pastrami sandwich and incredible value for the quality
We’re so glad you guys mentioned it to us- I’m still dreaming about that meat. Omg it was sooooo good 🤤
I love Italian food as pizza , pasta and spaghetti.🍝🍕🥘
Me too mate! This pizza was fantastic. Hope you enjoy our Italy videos! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Love you two to bits! Thanks for the New York trip!!!
😍😍😍😍 big love back Jo McGee! Hope you enjoyed this series mate- we loved filming it and can’t wait to get back for more eating. Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Just discovered your channel..I like your channel name..chasing a plate
😄😄😄 thanks NYCBuddha! It’s what we’re always doing after all 😆 thanks for watching and for checking out our channel. Hope you enjoy the content on here mate. Cheers, Sheena
Nathan’s hotdog was the very first meal I had when I first visited NYC 15yrs ago.....simple, basic & delicious
I also had Nathan’s when I visited Victoria Market Melbourne
They’re in Vic Market?! Crazy! We really liked the simplicity of it. Very tasty. Thanks for watching and commenting mate John, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Fun fun fun!
It totally was mate! It was awesome getting to eat all the classics- something that had to be done 😆 thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
The American food looks delicious, another good video 😀 Eat your burger the way you like it😉, I like it with tomato sauce and mustard as well 😃
😜😜😜😜 I really don’t think I could physically eat a burger without sauce and mustard. Such vital ingredients in my books! Thanks for watching and commenting Pheng Ov, so glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
that first restaurant looks soooo yummy
It was fantastic Tina Marie Farmer! I wish we'd had time to return- it was such great fried chook! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Yes! Sauerkraut and mustard! You must try Birch Beer! Especially the clear Birch Beer.
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Will pop it on the list for next time! Thanks for the recommendation 5cats 2kids 😄 hope you enjoyed this one- we had such a blast in NYC- desperate to get back to the States soon! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena it’s hard to find, so research where to find clear birch beer! ❤️
Will do! 😍
i went all the way to coney island to try nathan's hotdog and it's kinda disappointing..
it taste alright a bit too expensive for what it is
i prefer gray's papaya it's waaay cheaper and it taste better imo and their papaya drink is a bonus! :D
Agree. Gray's is so much better and the papaya drinks are amazing.
Hi Frodokeuh, thanks so much for watching and commenting! This is so good to know- Gray’s was on our list but we ran out of time 😭 we definitely balked a little at the cost of Nathan’s. Gray’s is on the list for our next visit whoop. Hope you enjoyed the video mate. Cheers, Sheena
2 votes for Gray’s! Definitely heading there next time. Thanks for watching and commenting Peter Chen 😄 Cheers, Sheena
C'mon guys, when it comes to a classic New York pastrami sandwich - should've gone to Katz's (at least for the atmosphere). Love your channel though, keep it up.
Hi Samuel Giles, thanks for watching mate, we’re so happy you are enjoying our content 😄 we deliberately didn’t film at Katz’s- yea it’s a classic NYC pastrami sandwich but there are hundreds of blog posts and videos about it and it’s in all the guidebooks. Where possible we try to show something new and shine a spotlight on the small guy whose food is just as much worth eating 😄 Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Completely fair enough. Thank you for the detailed response, and happy travels!
Thanks so much mate! Enjoy the rest of your week 🙌
i can literally taste those collards
They were fantastic!! 😍
Hi thomas and sheena...sorry for the long period of absense...was shifting through jobs and locations...so good to see you guys in new york city! I guess you should explore flushing too...they got some amazing chinese food!!
Hi mate! Great to see you back in the comments 😄 hope the move went well and that you’re loving your new job! We’re so gutted we ran out of time to eat in Flushing- definitely on the list for next time 😍 thanks for watching and commenting- hope you like what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
Love your videos! Yummy 😋
😍😍😍😍 thanks so much Lorey 52, it makes us so happy to hear that! Oh gosh- I want to eat everything all over again 😄 thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Foreigners tickle me about the size of American drinks. Dude we're thirsty and we don't want to keep stopping, so give us a big drink to go. LOL
😂😂😂😂 you should have seen us Mrs. Lady Kat, every time we saw a big gulp we were like “omg look at the size of that thing, it’s just like in the movies, bigger than his head!” Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you liked the video 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Didn't you have a mayor who wanted to ban the super-sized drinks at one point?
Interesting video. Always waiting for your new video
😄😄😄😄 thanks so much for your continued support Vrinda Iyer! Hope you like what we have coming up mate. Cheers, Sheena
nom nom nom
😄😄😄😄😄 it was such a full on but awesome day of eating! Thanks for watching and commenting Grant! S x
That's not a hotdog, it's a sausage in a bun. In NZ or Aus you would pay $2 for that outside Bunnings and get onions as well as mustard and sauce.
Jimmy 3690: You simply cannot beat a "Bunnings Snag" I beat these two would actually give it a crack for a video! Imagine the 👍 from Aussies.
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 love a trad sausage sizzle! It felt really wrong not putting sauce on this hotdog but when in Rome 😄 thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
😂 you know as very well Brilliant But Blue- we totally would!! Iconic!! 🙌
You have your facts wrong. First of all, it is a beef hot dog, not pork. Nathan was Jewish and he would never create a pork hot dog. Also, you put the mustard on top of the sauerkraut. That is a definite no no for hot dog experts. Also, you missed the french fries which go so well with the hot dog. Thank you.
Hi. Thanks for watching. Sorry re the incorrect meat info given. We picked that up and corrected it in the comment and description on the video. What's interesting though is, I believe, they're not kosher (although you can get a skinless version which I believe is). Please correct me if I'm wrong. Do you like the mustard under the suerkraut? As they do the sausage and the kraut before you get to the sauce station that wasn't really an option. We've had a few people mention their french fries are good. We'll have to try them next time. Thanks again for watching and we hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Awesome 🤩🤩
It was such a great day of eating! Mmm that fried chicken- I’ll be thinking about it for years to come! Thanks for watching and commenting chathu karunadasa! Cheers, Sheena
I don't think Nathan's makes pork hotdogs. Aren't they only beef?
Yep you’re correct sorry about that. We popped a correction in our pinned comment but got it wrong at the time of filming. Thanks so much for watching and we hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Oh nooo! They didn’t let you film? How dare they? Their lost 100%
But let’s go for pastrami sandwich now
😆😆😆😆😆😆 such a bummer!
fried chicken better than KFC ?
Indeed I am sure. Local food always better than chain food.
1000% yes mate! If you like KFC you would have loved this fried chicken. Oh gosh my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Correction Sheena, that clip was the Y&R not the Bold and the Beautiful.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 was it!? It said Bold and the Beautiful on the screen but it must have actually been “up next”. My bad 😝 Thanks for watching and for the correction 1981cherokee1 😄 Cheers, Sheena
You have tried the deep fried burger .
🙈 I don’t know if I could do it Reid Naidoo- I’m pretty partial to a great burger just as it is 😆 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
So this won't be a popular opinion but not a fan of NYC. Been there lots and lots of times and no doubt it's food scene and diversity is amazing but will take Chicago or LA over it. Sadly would have said San Francisco as well but the food scene there is being decimated by the high costs. Hoping you guys can do Chicago at some point because you really killed it in this series and would love to see you explore the food scene there.
Hi Michael, thanks so much for watching and commenting. Different strokes for different folks 😄 we were just talking about Chicago the other day, we’d love to get there to eat and film! So happy you enjoyed this series, thanks for the kind words! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Don't get me wrong I get why NYC is a must for so many people. Sometimes you just have a place that you have always the bad luck moments. It happens as you know in travel. I will defend it's greatness of course but I do tell people there is more than NYC to see and my home city, now a lifer in NorCal, I know you would love Chicago. If you plan to go I look forward to give some suggestions including you need to do a meet up with numbersixwithcheese guys, fellow YT people.
We'd love some suggestions when the time comes Michael! Thanks so much 😀
Nathan’s got dogs are all beef, not pork
Yes, our mistake! Thanks for that! 😄
Sheena how do you manage to eat chicken while wearing a lipstick without ending up with lipstick on your chin!!! Superpower!!! .D
🤣 lots of practise mate 😝 oh gosh I’d return to NYC for that chicken! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this one Kakibot 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Sorry but Nathan’s Hot dogs are 100% all Beef, not pork..., SMDH
This Guy!
Yep we corrected that in the comment and description. Mistake while filming. Thanks for watching. Thomas
Food to be found all over the city, all over the country, all over the world ▬ I really do not want that!
Hi Gerd Papenburg, hope you kept watching long enough to hear us say that we show you some of the best versions of these foods in NYC 😄 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
I'm glad I discovered you guys channel during your turkey tour :) You two always meet my expectations ♡ Keep up the good work Sheena and Thomas!
😍😍😍😍 what a lovely comment to receive! We’re so glad you’re enjoying our content Nymph E- hope you enjoy what we have coming up mate! Thanks for watching 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Nymph E: I also discovered these two "hidden gems" on there Istanbul trip with Josh and Ashley and they definitely haven't dissapointed me!! Glad you came on board!!☺
Hi Again Thomas & Sheena! Since yesterday Mexico food videos I’ve been watching as much as I can & came across NYC, I live in NYC a place to go that I recommend is in Sunset Park,Brooklyn for some great authentic tacos & elotes! Also NYC Chinese Food joint & and NYC deli sandwich on a roll with Ham & cheese lettuce tomatoes salt pepper and vinegar! So good! Hope to see another NY content!
Hi Christy! Thanks for watching mate 😄 you’re so lucky to live in such an incredible city. Thanks so much for the recommendations- we can’t wait to get back soon. We wish we’d had so much longer in town! Hope you are keeping safe and healthy. NYC has been hit so hard with the virus and we are thinking of you all 💕 Cheers, Sheena
Oh yes, hot sauce on the fried chicken. That's my style.
🤤🤤🤤🤤 oh man that meal totally hit the spot. Love me a bit of hot sauce!! Thanks for watching and commenting Brian Fantana- hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Wow that’s such a great story about the deli.
It comes to show that we can all live in peace and giving the world the best we have to offer.
Beautifully put mate!
I just started watching some of your auckland videos as im heading there for a holiday in nov. I have binge watched about 30 videos now 😂
Thank you 😊 please dont stop making videos, I loooove them 🥰
Great to see kiwis making these food travel vids, super cool 😊 i appeciate you guys!!
Awww thank you Jahni 🥰 and SO exciting that you’re heading to Auckland in November woo hoo- you’re going to eat so well 🤤 Thanks so much for binge watching 😂 and for your lovely words mate! Cheers, Sheena
Those old school diners are a dying breed in NYC. Love that old school signage
If only they’d let us film 😆😆😆😆
$28 for a burger and a beer jesus I better make sure I take plenty spending money when I visit in may lol
😆😂 quite hard on the ole back pocket we must say Karen! But worth it! How exciting that you’re heading to NYC in May- bet you have a list of things to do and eat the length of your arm. Have a fantastic trip! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Most of these restaurants will not make it through the lockdowns which makes me very sad.
😭😭😭 hospitality really needs a lifeline in cities like New York. They’re a vital part of the fabric. Thanks for watching and commenting Joe, hope you’re keeping safe and healthy. Cheers, Sheena
Interesting. Nathans was a total disappointment to us. Honestly worst hotdog and fries I've ever had anywhere 😒
That sucks Barb N!!! We really enjoyed our hotdog. Didn’t have the fries though. Have you been to Gray’s Papaya? We’ve had a few people rave about their hotdogs so it’s on our list for next time! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Gray's is still on my list. Hope to visit NYC in 2020 again.
Yummmy ..great video ❤️👍🏼😋
Omg that burger! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate- it was cool filming in NYC 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Sheena: Mmmmmm 😋 mmmmmmm 😋 mmmmmmmmm
😄😄😄 so many of them during this day of eating! I want that burger! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Darn... I want to visit New York and try all those food you ate especially the pastrami sandwich!
It was next level mate. SO good! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Cheers, Sheena
My favourite sauces in a great burger are, mustard Mayo and mango chutney 😉 I put Mayo and mustard on one side and swirl together , the put the mango chutney on the other side. It brings all the other components together. Imo 😌🥰
😍😍😍😍 will have to give mango chutney a go! Thomas once brought home a box of mangoes which were turning and proceeded to make the most delicious homemade mango chutney I have ever tasted. We used to go through about half a jar each time it was opened 🤤 Thanks for watching and watching Susan! Hope you have a lovely weekend 😘 Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate I bet it was yum. I don’t know if you get it there but we have a brand here called Geetas and it has chilli and whole fennel seeds in it. It has a great kick to it. Maybe you could add those to your next batch, I know you guys would love it! 😁💋💋✌️💕
@@susandibble3525 I will keep an eye out for it 😍 sounds wonderful!
JG Melon is definitely one of our favorite burgers too. Very simple classic burger and well-made. Nice call on getting it medium-rare!
Simple perfection! We’d totally eat it again 🤤
That pastrami sandwich looked amazing! It’s cool that you went to an off the radar place instead of Katz’s which is usually where non-New Yorkers go.
It was so good! We’re really glad we got to David’s to eat and film it. One heck of a sandwich. Thanks so much for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀
the buildings must have twenty floor, not anymore (if there's a electricity problem the elevator is stopped)
I’m so happy you guys didn’t end up in all the typical tourist traps that every other you tuber goes to you found authentic iconic nyc foods away from the lines and crowds of tourists way to go 👍
Thanks so much for your kind words mate! We love finding the local spots and far out we ate well in NYC. Can’t wait to return one day as we barely scratched the surface. Thanks for watching and commenting 😍 Cheers, Sheena
The sizes of drinks in the US are crazy... I agree with you Thomas, you will never find such a huge cup anywhere outside the USA
😆😆😆😆😆 they’re ginormous!!
its the sausage
Charles Pan Fried Chicken was a great choice! Been there a few times over the years. They moved down near where a close friend used to live. Oh yeah mac and cheese and collards are the way to go for the sides!
Oh man, I wish we’d had more time to go back for a second round. It was sooo good. Thanks for watching and commenting guys, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for the video! It must have been so different there because of the tipping you had to do. As someone who isn't used to tipping, I was really against that concept of compulsory tipping when I was in North America and was mean enough to not tip at all when service was horrible (waited for one hour for food at one restaurant). I know that waiters there don't have a minimum wage but the idea of having to give a certain percentage was still hard to sink in.
It’s really hard to get used to isn’t it A O? I can’t get my head around why the employer isn’t responsible for paying decent wages to their employees and why it’s the responsibility of the customers! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoyed the series! Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena totally agreed! I'm glad you felt the same way 😛
@Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena Sheena, the history of tipping in the U.S. is quite interesting but just know that currently it's not simply the employers not willing to pay a living wage. In high-end to mid range restaurant environments, it's the wait staff who want to continue the tipping culture. $50,000 is easy while six figures USD is common. Not in $10 per plate joints of course but still, in cheap restos with high volume and table turnover, a waiter can earn way higher than one realizes. AND it's a great profession for those without any skills or formal education. Again, it's complicated but a very interesting economic, racial, gender, class and social matter.
Thanks for this Tosh- it's all very interesting- I'm going to do a bit of reading about it. I like how you point out that it's a good profession for those without any formal education or a trade. That makes a lot of sense. And I can see why you wouldn't want to give it up if you're earning $$$$! 😝
@Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena In my professional life, I'm involved with the challenges of America's workforce, entry level to professional, so low skilled occupations are of major concern for me. In my personal life, I eat out almost every single day so I interact with loads of bartenders and wait staff. I'm your classic over-tipper here in the U.S. and abroad. 😂
So many summer memories at Coney Island rides and Nathan’s Hot Dog. Nothing beats that snap. Yes, the natives steered your correctly... only sauerkraut and mustard ... or be subjected to a lot of side eyes of judgment ;).... lol
haha always gotta trust the amazing locals. They're the best! Coney Island had such a great feel about it. I can imagine so many New Yorkers have brilliant childhood memories from there. So cool. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀😀🙌🙌👍🏼👍🏼
Omg the MAC n cheese look soooooooo good!!! The fried chicken look so original so yummy
Hungry People epic
Oh gosh, I’d eat it all again in a heartbeat!! Thanks for watching and commenting Hungry a People- hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
Awesomeness!
🤤🤤🤤 so great to tick off the classics! Thanks for watching Andrew. Hope you have a great weekend mate. Cheers, Sheena
$28, what a ripoff.
NYC sure isn't a cheap place to spend your money. It was great food though. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
pearl diner is 1 mother of them spoilsports !!!!!!!!!!
We know right?! We were so gutted we didn’t get to film 😆 ahhh well, can’t win em all! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena

They’re such champs 🙌
@Dakari Lyle you’re right, nobody cares
i love the snap of nathans hot dogs. i try not to think about where the snap comes from lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
So delicious Sheena and Thomas and love the work you guys both doing, please come to visit us in Australia someday, lol we are just a few hours flight ride
Walter Pashi: If you check out there website they lived in Melbourne Australia for a few years prior to creating "Chasing a Plate". Im sure they will be back to "A land down under" soon, fingers crossed☺
Thanks so much Walter Pashi! We love Australia and would love to do a massive series there 😍 hope we can make it back soon! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you like the content we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
Fingers and toes crossed Brilliant But Blue 😍
Yay another amazing videos . The food look so good ,thanks for sharing . You guys rock .
😍😍😍 thank YOU for watching Max! Oh my goodness- such a great day of eating. I’d totally do that day all over again! Thanks for taking the time to comment mate. Cheers, Sheena
MMMMMMMMMM Miss the nyc fooddddd
It’s so goooooooood!! We didn’t want to leave 😭 thanks for watching this one mate, hope you enjoyed it. And hope your travels are going awesomely! Cheers, Sheena
Love me a good burger and that one looked good. 😋
It was brilliant Con Psalios- the meat was cooked beautifully and it was so juicy and flavoursome. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
really nice back stories
😄😄😄😄 thanks so much Alina Petrea, so happy that you enjoy them- we always get a kick out of the history of the spots we film at. Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Pastrami is what I want as my last meal!! I dream about it here in the Midwest where it’s not available!! 😩
Thx for showing a local deli!!!
Hooray Thomas!!! Only mustard on a hot dog!
If you’re still in the States you can buy Nathan’s hot dogs in the grocery . They’re just as yummy at home. My mama made her chicken in a cast iron frying pan . Delicious! Mac and cheese looked a bit dry, but Sheena, you were too sweet to mention.
Loved this video!!!!
Continued safe travels...
Love you guys
Hi Terese, thanks so much for watching and we’re so happy you enjoyed this one 😄 oh gosh bet your mama’s fried chicken was incredible 😍 what sort of sides did she serve with it? That Mac and cheese did look dry but luckily it wasn’t when eaten- although extra gooey ooziness is always a bonus 😂 oh gosh, you can’t get pastrami where you are at all? I wish we were still in the States- 6 days was far too little time- fingers crossed we make it back soon! Big love 😘 Sheena
Yes, you have to try the old classics when in New York!!! Thomas - you were in love with that burger!!!!😋 Root Beer is our Fav !!!! Odd but addictive flavour!!!! Nathans is a cool joint 👍 Hope you both enjoyed your time in New York🙂🙂👍
We loved our 6 days there guys- not enough time though! That burger was epic- would totally eat it again! Thanks for watching and commenting you two, hope you’re both well! 😄 Cheers, Sheena
👍👍👍
😄😄😄😄 so glad you enjoyed it Emil Kiskinov! Thanks for watching mate! Cheers, Sheena
Fried chicken is life! It’s líeles favorite food too.
Yum! Mac and cheese !
We used to go to Jamaica in queens to get fried chicken
So nice to see this spot! We will have to visit next time we are in the city!
Awesome guys! Bet you guys know some awesome spots to eat fried chook! 😍
Nathan’s hotdogs are beef not pork.
Ahhhhh! Thanks so much for that info. Happy to admit I totally didn’t get that from eating it (hotdogs often leave me in wonder re what meat they are made from). It really didn’t have a beef taste at all so it didn’t cross my mind. Is this so they’re halal and kosher? Thanks for watching and apologies for the incorrect info. Cheers, Thomas 😀
The original Nathan was Jewish and would not have used pork. But do to the manufacturing process they are neither kosher or halal. Most all hot dogs in NY from street carts or delis are beef hot dogs.
This is great information, thanks so much Fred Suckle 😄
That chicken, greens and mac and cheese looked so good. That looks a lot like what I had at Sylvia's in Harlem, but I had some black-eyed peas instead of mac & cheese.
How was Sylvia’s Joey Carlyle? Mmm will add an order of black eyed peas next time! It was such a great meal 😍 thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed the video mate. Cheers, Sheena
Wowweeee goodness gracious another yummy upload 😋😋. Ok, my first choice is Nathan's hot dog as it always brings back nostalgic & happy memories for me, with a close tie between the droolilicious pastrami & juicy burger 😋😋. Cute blooper Sheena & I like the way Thomas describes the juicy burger: saucy, mustardy & oniony! Great vid as usual guys, cant wait for the next upload. Take care & cheers Sheena & Thomas! 💜💚
Hi Ar Em, thanks so much for watching and commenting mate! Love how emotional food can be and how it can transport you to a time and place- so neat that Nathan’s hotdog can do that for you! Oh gosh that pastrami blew me away! So happy you enjoyed this one! 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Awesome 😎
😍😄😍 so happy you enjoyed it Abel Campos! I’d totally eat everything all over again. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
Mac n cheese looked a little dry. I need that crisp n crunchy sound when i bite into fried chicken🐔
It does look dry DrewCSCo 719 but it was actually not bad- although more cheesy ooze is never a bad thing! I love both when it comes to fried chook- crisp and crunchy or the slightly softer skin and seasoning. This had so much flavour. Wish we’d had time to get back for more! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Exaggerating
Hi Elizabeth Adams, nope not exaggerating. We’re just loving the food and are really excited about eating, travelling and getting to share these incredible dishes with our audience. We’re just having a damn good time 😄 Cheers, Sheena
You totally sound like your from NZ ❤
We sure are! Are you a Kiwi? Thanks so much for watching this one and we hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Thomas 😀
PASTRAMI
😍😍😍😍😍 it was tender as anything! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
If you want try one of the most juiciest fried chicken, try Jollibee.. thats the best
Hi Travel with Style, thanks for watching! We don’t mind a bit of Jollibee but I’ve gotta say, this fried chicken kicks Jollibee’s butt 😆 hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
Nathan’s??? You want a proper nyc hot dog. You go to grays papaya, or papaya king
Argh, so annoyed- Grays was on the list but we ran out of time. Next visit for sure! 🤤
Thankfully you didn’t go to Katz’s deli, such a tourist trap. We were so disappointed
We’ve had so many friends say that to us recently 3005sh- they talked about the pastrami being really dry. Sucks that you had a bad experience- as it’s definitely not cheap 😝 Hope you get back to NYC again soon and have a better pastrami sandwich to make up for it! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Your definitely looked worth the money, will try that if we make it back 👌🏻 enjoy your travels
Thank you 😄
That Mac n Cheese looked dry
It does look it doesn’t it mate? It wasn’t in the mouth but I would have happily had more oozy cheesy sauce 😄 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Pastrami is great! But have a corned beef/pastrami Rueben sandwich. It’s the best!
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 next time for sure mate! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Only Wendy's large drink in NZ has a similar size drink as that root beer.
Really?! 😆😆😆😆 SO huge! 😂
@@ChasingaPlate we get American sized drinks at Wendy's NZ. 🙂
Double the cheese and add some bacon and you'd have a perfect burger!
🤤🤤🤤🤤 I’m pretty sure there was a bacon cheeseburger on the menu ozza26- right up your alley! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
Lot of great food but the pastrami 😋. Great vid👍
It was next level Michael- so, so tender 😍 thanks for watching and commenting mate! Cheers, Sheena
Burgers and beer, ingredients of any staple diet😊
