Love how accessible and realistic the host's plus ups were! I enjoy Barry's plus ups, but I rarely have them at hand in my home. But I always have salt, pepper and mayo at home. Thank you 🙂
Your chopping anyway so I would have chopped the olive to an used black instead of green but that's me , is food for thought using egg as a binder instead of mayo an frying it , for sure the bread needs help to , Great Video Thx for it 🙂
st. louis represent!! Sadly despite having grown up and lived in st. louis most of my life I've never had a st. paul sandwich and now probably never will unless I make it myself (hooray celiac disease) but it sounds good. side note: I like Jim's glasses
Really bringing it lately. So nice to see so many sandwich elders coming together to share their knowledge. I have never even heard of this one and i've been 'researching' the topic for 15+ years or so. Australia just doesn't have the local history America has but I can guarantee it will only get more seasoned as time goes on. Viva la 'wich.
😮wow, never heard of this, but...there is a tradition of Chinese restaurants having a locally adapted item in many locations, the one i know best is Ireland's Spice Bag! Basically chips(fries) and chicken, onions, peppers, and 5 spice powder...a beloved tradition!
Cook's Country (from America's Test Kitchen) actually made this sandwich a couple of years ago. They visited the Fortune Express Restaurant and did a version of their offering. It's roughly this sandwich, but more "egg foo young-y." A TH-cam search will take you to their video.🙂
I used to order St. Paul sandwiches at the little Chinese place in the Shaw neighborhood. They used a big wok to cook theirs. Never saw the square mold before
Transplant StL dweller here. The origin of the St. Paul, as I heard: There was a local chop suey joint that was losing business because of construction on a nearby cathedral. To generate revenue, they started selling the sandwich to the workers and it spread throughout town.
Weelll... I was extremely confused that the st. Paul sandwich is actually a st. Louis sandwich. Mainly because the st. Paul/Minneapolis metro area is the fourth largest population in the United States. Thats my bias, I guess. Also, it looks really good. I'd eat the hell out of that
I found a 1894 Newspaper article from the St Joseph Gazette that mentions a St Paul Sandwich it was from an article about a city council meeting and it mentions a man who “he is as badly missed as a St Paul sandwich”. I found another story from 1899. That has a reference to a man making a St. Joseph sandwich as he talks about another subject. it describes how he is scooped up some deviled ham, fries an egg and then uses onion and mustard to complete the sandwich. That one is from the St. Louis Globe and Democrat 1899. I have screenshots but I can’t share them here obviously
It'd be funny if they named it such, in the old time tradition of naming sandwiches after exotic locations, rather than it having anything to do with the actual location.
what is the deal with these guest hosts not formatting their footage properly? I'm tryna watch these sammiches on my television. not on my cellular telephone, demmit!
I’d like that you added the mayo, but the egg looked burnt. I like my eggs yellow. I tried cooking eggs in one of those square things and all the egg ran out the bottom. It was a nightmare and a mess. I suppose if you mix it up with all that other stuff, it might hold together better, well clearly it does. Interesting.🎉
You can use a cheese grater to put pressure on top of the egg ring to keep it from leaking. Also an oval sardene can makes a nice egg ring. Make sure you burn off the plastic coating from inside the can
I think seasoning that pan would have gone a long way here. I always cook eggs in a stainless steel skillet, and they come off the pan like a dream as long as you season it at the start.
@williammunny8514 You hit it right on the head. If that dude can't stick to the format then he should not be invited back as a guest host. It's give it a gooooooooooooo. Not give it a try.

Jim wounded me with "a try" instead of "a go" lmao
could not help but laugh at giving it a "try", and also at "improve the baseline version", that was excellent hahah
He said give it ‘a try’ instead of give it ‘a go’. Guy is totally out of control!
I love the little square cooking gizmo
A necessary tool for a sandwich professional!
HOLY COW, i've lived in St. Louis all my life, have seen this sandwich on menus a hundred times, and had no idea it was a St. Louis food!
@@cyrollan yeah- a St Paul and a Vess is as St Louis as it gets
Come onnnnn cyro
@@patrickcleary5338 never gave it a thought and parents never told me 🤷
Excellent historic content. Only heard of the St Paul through Mr Chime Time, now I'm actually thinking of making one. Good show.

I wonder if salt and pepper are one of the things the author omitted because he assumed any tea-room proprietor would know to add them.

I heard about this sandwich's history before but didn't look too far into it. Seeing it now it does look tasty! Kudos to today's host 👍

A TRY?????? It's "A GO"!!!!
IMPROVE????? It's "PLUS UP"!!!!
"It's a patty of egg foo yung served between white bread..."
Imma stop you right there... I'll take 9 of them.

Can’t wait for your podcast!
Very interesting looking sandwich. I will have to try to checkout the podcast.

Growing up in St. Louis I saw the St. Paul on all kinds of Chinese menus. Never knew a single person to order it.
I used to have these sandwiches at Chinese Wok Express in Columbia, MO. Pretty tasty, nothing to write home about.
Can you make the Chilli Chutney Sandwich from Red Dwarf when you come out of vacation?
I do need to get that. Has been far too long.
Forming the sandwich Illuminati I see
0:48 not even gonna lie when I went to saint louis I went to a hood Chinese restaurant and it was glorious
Damn, that sounds delicious!

I wonder if plussing this up with sriracha might make for a less bland sandwich.

Interesting. I'd definitely try it
Same
Seems like a great sandwich
Egg foo young is really good by itself!
I love Denver omelet sandwiches
Interesting sandwich! We have a local favorite Chinese restaurant that makes the best egg foo yung. Every place makes it a little different.
Monmouth, IL, my hometown? Interesting!
I LOVE this sandwich the hardest thing about making the sandwich was keeping my cat from getting the veggie egg foo young .
A sandwich podcast, God is great
And they're all such cool dudes, knowledgeable, and fun to watch. This podcast is gonna be a banger, I'm stoked

Wow! Any of them include recipes? (he asked with a modicum of hope)
@@SandwichesofHistory I sent you some screen shots of what I found on Instagram. I could t figure out how to message you here.
Looking forward to the podcast. Jim's a man after my heart by using Kewpie, but Barry you need yo make sure all your guest hosts use your key phrases.
Nah, they get to be themselves. I'll stick to me being me.
Saint Paul?
More like Saint Jim!
Give it a try??? A TRY?? WTF 😂
I eat a version of this,with cheese,every couple of weeks for breakfast.I though the St Paul was more of an Egg Foo Yung type sandwich?
Egg full yong, lettuce, mayo and white bread
Sounds good. Working at a diner for years, made a lot of Denver (Western) omelet sandwiches. There is no tomato in a Denver omelet.
It'd be funny if they named it such, in the old time tradition of naming sandwiches after exotic locations, rather than it having anything to do with the actual location.
Give the Sandwich a gooooo, not a try. 😅
He also referred to an improvement instead of a plus-up. I think it was the same in his prior guest appearance.
@@mhartansince they're friends, I'm sure he's yanking our collective chain
Finally! Someone who gets it!
Every person I've ever met that owns an electric pepper grinder looks just like this guy.
I, however, do not.
@@SandwichesofHistory was it a gift from a guy who looks like him?
what is the deal with these guest hosts not formatting their footage properly?
I'm tryna watch these sammiches on my television.
not on my cellular telephone, demmit!
Plus Barry keeps it tight and to the point. We miss you, Barry!
Can we get Jim to do a Hasperat video?
The original is more like the classic “western omelette”
Its a western omlet in bread😮
A sandthropologist, AND a Mojo Nixon fan???
Another vertical video? Why can't you use the whole screen?
sammich
No giving it a "go" or plus up! This guy is 1 out of 10.
I was raised in St. Paul, MN.....who cares right😂
On this channel, probably everybody cares!
Try the St. Louis sandwich
Almost starting to feel sorry for the guy getting roasted in the comments for "a try". I hope he's got a sense of humor!
I’d like that you added the mayo, but the egg looked burnt. I like my eggs yellow. I tried cooking eggs in one of those square things and all the egg ran out the bottom.

Man, that's the weirdest pronunciation of "a go" yet!
Give it a try? Improve it? WHAT IS THIS IMPOSTER NONSENSE??? (But otherwise, a very nice guest spot and very interesting sandwich! :) )
The disrespect of not adhering to the appropriate format for this show is noted and regarded unfavorably.
Sorry... Emory who?
So, I think s&p isn’t listed because it is assumed.
This guy bucked Barry's system way too much for me
A " try " ? Whu?
St. Louis does the best chinese
@williammunny8514 You hit it right on the head. If that dude can't stick to the format then he should not be invited back as a guest host. It's give it a gooooooooooooo. Not give it a try.
