is the red hook food corp halal john? will visit next week
yes it is
Salmonella from a bodega? No thanks!
@@HereBeBarr thank you so muchhh..will go there definitely 🙏🏻
when are you thinking of doing a xmas in NYC 2022 video
Imagine somebody robbing him and telling him “yo this is a robbery. Let me get all the money, the Ocky way” sure sure sure 😂😂😂😂
Okay, you win for best comment. 😂
Don’t forget the change
Never never never
💀💀
@@Mobe1283 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
First, We put the robber on the grill.
The best thing about this is that Ock obviously loves what he’s doing.
These are the times when I appreciate social media because without it, he wouldn't be known worldwide for his sandwiches.
Of course he does… he’s making $18 for a sandwich
SURE SURE!!
I disagree, I think he seemed tired of it. I’m sure he is if he has done it for a decade. But maybe I’m wrong got that vibe
@@capncrunch4298 concha burger in a Mexican food truck is half that price.
With fries and a "bev"... And it's bigger.....
As an Italian, I’m shocked to hear these prices. Are €5 Beer+Panino places not a thing elsewhere? $18 for a sandwich seems very steep.
it's not normal at all, it's some specialist hype thing
Stop hating
Sandwiches in Delis are usually 8-10.
America man... inflation is real atm...
$18 isn't bad. I've paid the $26 for Katz and I'll tell you what, if they do up to 50, I'll pay that too!
Visited New York, asked a local where the best place to get a quick bite to eat. He pointed to the Bodega down the street; said chopped cheese. It was the best breakfast I had that entire trip.
I'm running the marathon to able to fully appreciate 1 of these sandwiches.
oh wow, they should serve this at the finish line ahha
Facts. That or I can't eat for a week.
@@marciaboland6103 you have an eating disorder
Salty
i love how happy he is when someone says "the Ocky way" he says SUUURRRRE SURE SURE!" and just smiles soooo much :D
Hes smiling because he knows he's just made an easy $18 per sandwich
@@Jakey4000 high demand, high prices
@@electroshot8872 for like 5 dollars worth of food? Get outta town my brother. 10 dollars pushing it. Can get the same thing in the local city for less
@@FlannelDad I agree with what you’re saying. Problem is that Mr. "Ocky" has the ability to make the prices so high, which is a coarse exploitation to his many customers
How can you not tell he's acting?
As a New Yorker, bodegas are not just a staple in NYC, but the metro area as well. I lived in Jersey City for a few years before moving back to NY, and there are plenty of bodegas there as well in The Heights. What makes bodegas special are the charm and the affordability (typically) for the average person living in some of the most expensive areas anywhere. And it's a true bodega if there's a cat around.
Bodegas are in hoods all over the north east … but You will always have some vice type of channel or some outsider type of thing calling it a New York thing
@@ramseyebryant nyc metro area is the only place wit bodegas fool
@Ricky Camilo it's just a convenience store with a grill homie we have 1000 in Atlanta
18 for a sandwich you crazy?
@@JosephWheeler14Exactly, every mom-and-pop gas station in the south is basically a rural bodega too.
I wish I had a corner store with Ock! This guy just puts a smile on my face. He seems to enjoy making his customers smile and you can tell he has a bomb personality.
Wdym by bomb personality 🤨
Really like how the camera man gets his own sandwiches and is is part of the show👍
Yes! The Cameraman/Camerawoman often is forgotten, but not in this case! Bon Appetit!
And he's got personality and is solid at describing the experience.
RIP Ben ❤️
Those sandwiches came from a place of necessity for us growing up in nyc, it’s just now becoming trendy around the US
It’s on DoorDash in Cali
Sausage egg and cheese with a sweet tea Arizona was my daily breakfast throughout high school
Lmao.like you grew up hangry.....
@@Jon60531 Bacon or Sausage egg and cheese in the morning can’t trust no one who got anything different 😂
It’s trendy because of social media. And the people on social media believe these places are “the best”.
They are not the best whatsoever. Many places in the boroughs for deli sandwiches that blow these places away. They are kept secrets that have avoided the social media train.
Like he says- the bacon egg and cheese, on a frosted honey bun IS enough for 4 people - and probably could induce a heart attack in all 4 of them. If you come to NY try a baconeggandcheese on a freshly baked NY REAL bagel- or a lighter opt: the kaiser roll....that's real NY. It isn't health food, but it's not poisonous either.
Yeah, wtf was that? Bacon egg and cheese on kaiser is the staple.
What if you eat one meal a day, then what?
I tried the BE&C this exact same way the ocky way and guys, it's worth the money. Even when cut in half these things are HUGE! I'm a big guy with a big appetite and I was full when I was done with my half. So say my half was $9, typical bacon egg and cheese is anywhere from 3 to 5 bucks depending where you go, if you get a side of mozzarella sticks that costs another 4-5 bucks, and this guy puts enough bacon for 3 or 4 sandwiches you get anywhere else. If you go there go there with a friend and split it, totally worth it. Ocky is magic!
Good to know. I'm gon be in NYC and Morristown, NJ is about 2 wkd
My dad who is originally from Brooklyn has even told me that the two most popular NY sandwiches are a baconeggandcheese on a roll (apparently us NYers consider it as one word) and a chopped cheese. I’ve personally never had a chopped cheese before, but I’m definitely gonna try it soon.
Do it
Egg sandwiches are common in the northeast since it’s super easy to make. The chopped cheese sandwich is less common
its baconeggandcheeseonarollwithsaltpepperketcup and chopped cheese is fairly new . I still havent tryied it.
@@HereBeBarr would of been nice if you just went to some random Bodega and not some trendy spot. ;)
@@Ciph3rN1N3 i don't think the second 2 were that trendy. #3 was just the OG.
$18 for a breakfast sandwich is daylight robbery, even for NYC standards!
i have never seen a breakfast sandwich that big with that much egg and bacon, like the dude said it could probably feed 3 people 😂
My man that was like 2 sandwiches in 1
@@clubberlang8440 no way that feeds 3 people. Looks like its only slightly bigger than a subway sandwich
People don’t want to pay 18 for an extremely unhealthy sandwich that “ could feed three people”. They want to pay a reasonable price for one sandwich for one person.
It's marked up because the store is viral. In other words, he charges that much because he can. If the Ock (who has 2 bodegas to run) charged regular priced, he'd be spending all day making those sandwiches.
The fact that you included the cameraman 😭 it’s nice to see that, definitely subbing
NYC definitely isn't a perfect city (their subway has seen better days, while ours has chandeliers), but I'll give it to them that their bodegas are culturally significant. NYC isn't NYC without its bodegas. And we thank NYC to continuing to provide the Internet with its weirdness. Hoping to one day make it over there to do a UN speech. I just hope what happened to Admiral General Aladeen doesn't happen to me.
Nyc is not without it's bodegas, it's not nyc without delis, try again non native
Kim Jeong Un.. At least, NYC is better than where you live, Pyongyang..the most secluded in the world..
tool lol
the only thing culturally NY about bodegas is that new yorkers think they invented and are the only place with corner stores
I don't get it. Deli's are goddamn grossss
I lived on 10th and B for 3 years all through covid. Sunny and Annie’s never closed and they make INCREDIBLE sandwiches. Such a nice family too, support them if passing by and don’t forget to tip your sandwich guy.
they look very sweet
Sandwiches are just the perfect food. You can get so much distinctive flavor (as shown by this video) all in a handheld meal you can eat on the go. If I could eat one for every meal I certainly would
Lies again? Newton Circle Dad Father
What is stopping you from eating a sandwich for every meal?
That's what I think of protein bars and shakes lol.
I am also here to share my love for sandwiches
@@BatCaveOz lmao
Came here for General Ock. Was not disappointed.
The Baconeggandcheese was voted NYC's new official fruit and the Chopped Cheese as the official bird back in 2015
$18 for a sandwhich, what a time to be alive....
@yougotservedyo fr I can make it myself for cheaper
@@jimmyneutron788 so true but people lazy and prefer to buy it so they gotta pay 20 bones.😬
@@ulquiorra3104 seriously tho the ingredients is no more that 15 dollars at the grocery store and you can make multiple with that
@@jimmyneutron788 you can say that about any place you buy food though
Ocky knows bc of Tiktok he is getting more customers so he played it smart and started charging all these people more, knowing he can do it because of his reputation. Good for him.
$18 for a Ocky way sandwich is definitely approaching near Katz territory!!!
Yes, he is definitely getting a little bit greedy there!
@@anthonylarocco6763
He has raised his prices because healthy food is harder to prep, or at least it’s more nutritious
@@bolbiitp7850 Maybe I misunderstood what you're trying to convey, but them joints weren't even close to healthy food. Not sure how the time to prep healthy food would influence the price on unhealthy food.
@@bolbiitp7850 …….the food isnt even the slightest bit healthy…….. it was in between to 1 dollar hostess honey buns made with no natural barely real ingredients.
18 dollars. You smoking Crack to pay that much for that. Ocky is a cool dude but damn Bodegas aren't trendy restaurants. You're operating a corner store don't forget who made you what you are.
These guys seem really chill cool people. First time watching this channel and I gotta say its my new favorite food channel so far.
I want to the Ocky Way shop a few months ago. It was fantastic and General Ock was soo humble and chill amid all his internet stardom.
Mine used to be called Fishies. I lived in northern New Jersey. As a child walking to school I would take a quarter and give it to the lady and she would put bologna on a Kaiser roll and wrap it up for me. I ate that thing every day it was so incredibly good
@#DREEZY514💯 yep. these days, kids are on discord calls and call of duty lobbies, swearing grown-ups and having zero respect.
I know we're deep in inflation right now, but paying $18 for that is crazy .
Frfr shit crazy
Isn’t that a norm for New York
NYC & Las Vegas are two places I automatically expect to pay a bit more for things like food🤷🏻♀️
@@westie430 Naaa for a bodega thats STUPID expensive. Granted it is a realllllly famous place now and youre getting a custom order and it seems like he puts a fuck ton more eggs and bacon than normal but most NYers pay like $6 on average for a typical bacon egg and cheese.
@@dreamomega no lol. I get a whole ass hero for $5 at my deli
I love how eclectic NYC is and how the people seem to embrace diversity. I love that they have so many "mom n pap" food spots with original flavors and secret recipes. I'm not knocking all the big franchise chain food spots but these little ones tend to have some of the best tasting most creative menu. Years ago I went restaurant hopping with some relatives and literally visited 4 different spots on the same street and enjoyed a taste off each menu, we don't have that luxury in my city for a variety of reasons.
as a new yorker born and raised this is literally my favorite part about the city
over 8 million people plus another 3 million on long island, full of immigrants will do that. Best and most diverse food in the world if you know where to look.
As someone who does not live in New York nor anywhere near in America I can 105% agree that these sandwiches are my go to sandwiches!
It's great to have Greg back on the food tour...awesome recommendations!👏 👏
The ock is consistent. Every video about him on youtube he leaves them speechless
The only thing im left speechless about is how he just served them two honebuns with some bacon egg and cheese in the middle and slapped an 18$ price tag on that.
OMG all these sandwiches look amazing! Can't wait to get up there and try every single one of these!
"At one point in my life, Arizona was half of my blood content" i felt this in my soul lol
Holy crap! This might be the one video I’ve been the most hyped for you making because I never thought it’d come :O We’re here with Jon talkin about the Chopped Cheese! Dreams really do come true.
Those deli sandwiches have gotten much bigger over the decades. I grew up in NYC, ham, egg and cheese on a toasted buttered roll cost $1.50 back then. I would eat half for breakfast and half for lunch.
How about NYC bagels? I used eat those everyday when I lived there
@@lyricistdestroyerqueensbor8782 $8.99
Save the egg for lunch ???
Just a few years ago, you could buy a bacon egg and cheese for 2.50. Now its 6 dollars in my area.
@@jyoshi1491 gotta love the J-tax.
I used to get a BE&C on a roll at my favorite deli for 2.50 as well, this was over a decade ago..
that deli went under... they had my favorite sandwich..and the new owners don't even have the recipe... WTF
I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I remember going through Puerto Rican neighborhoods where bodegas were exclusively a PR grocery/deli/restaurant store. Now any deli calls itself a bodega.
As a New Yorker watching this and knowing all this and still loving to see it
Food in New York hits different, the people out there respect food so much. Love the food, love the people.
Because New York is an over crowded city on an island.. all their food has to be imported there.. want real fresh food and ingredients? Come down south
@@marquezsmith8889 Someone sounds bitter. Lmao
@@Abyssinian97 not bitter, just stating the obvious
@@marquezsmith8889 nah, i aint going to Jersey lol
@@marquezsmith8889 Yeah thats true. Theres definitely no fresh food and ingredients at all anywhere in all of NYC. You're 100% correct.
There isn’t any special ingredients but when it’s made out of love! That’s why the customers come back!!!
I love this channel....so interesting. Thanks so much, Jon.
Total foodie heaven! Subbed and Giving Greg’s channel a follow too. Cheers for the tour mate
Very enjoyable video, you guys really brought out the experience to life. Thanks! You guys work great together!
My cousin recommended General Ock on our first trip back in May and his food was great. I'm definitely going back next month.
That basil and avacado thing looks fireeee
Sunny and Annie's sounds great. I lived on that block from ages 5 to 13!
Good Sunday Morning My Friend
When I Used To Live In Brooklyn New York My Parents Would Always Eat A Bacon Eggs And Cheese Sandwich It Was. So Tasty Thank You So Much For Sharing Another Extraordinary Video With All Of Us Much Blessings And Love Always Ms British Gray From Tampa Florida Blessings :)
Thanks for sharing
Egg sandwiches are very common in the north east. I’ve seen them in a lot of breakfast lunch trucks. It’s ok to add ketchup too. Nobody will mind
this is so well shot. gorgeous camerawork and editing. this is incredible
Tastes good, quick to make, able to eat on the go, and filling.
These are Awesome !!
John you always deliver the best videos. This one doesn’t disappoint! Can’t wait to be in NYC next year for the first time. Your guides are the holy grail. ❤️🇺🇸
Head up to Harlem or the Bronx and get a chop cheese.
A great video want to go to all of them now! We visited NYC last month and did a food tour with Greg thanks to your channel (as well as a lot of other recommendations) cannot say enough good things! Greg us a great guy to do a tour with and you run a great channel too.
love your sprinkle of ‘tism
the simple stuff is the best stuff
This is awesome! We all lived on Bodega food when growing up in NYC!! Bacon egg and cheese sandwich in the morning and an Arizona Iced Tea with Strawberry shortcake for lunch. All under $5.
Done Greg's food tour 3 weeks ago in Queens and it was amazing. Highly recommend
I actually like this , so I subbed, thanks.
Love Your Vids ❤️
Again! Again I didn't listen and watched on an empty stomach. 🤤 Every sandwich looked amazing.
Thank you 😋
Grew up on BE&C sandwiches every morning before commuting to college. Had to have one. This brings back memories.
I’m from and live in Hawaii and getting one sandwich from general Ock is on my bucket list the Ocky way!
Loved how you finally featured chopped cheese in your videos!!! Chopped cheese FTW!
Incredible video once again !!! You never miss !!! You do you’re research and execute perfectly !
Thanks
I am going to try it!
The general’s “your welcome” makes my day
Yummy! Your videos are so insightful. Good job!🤓
Those sandwiches look amazing Jon!
Bacon egg & cheese, Arizona and a bag of chips is the high-school breakfast of champions.
💯
For sure stacked.
Freaking amazing episode! This is as New York as it gets
Thanks Ben
My go to at the bodega is a chopped cheese on a hero... salt pepper vinegar on the lettuce and tomatoes with pepper jack cheese..ketchup and mayo. For breakfast it's a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese. Life long New Yorker here.
Enjoy! The Food Very Nice
I love how you don't forget your cameraman. He was so excited for his ocky sammich
OHMYGOD OCK IS A MADMAN! Dear Lord, my cholesterol went up just Watching that!!
My wallet was empty that $18 for a sandwich in Brooklyn, getting a little greedy there Ock huh? 😂
I miss you NYC❤
Glad we got to see Mr. Ocky. Good video.
Awesome video definitely subbed 🔥🔥💪🏾
Nice spread, Jon! My friends in Florida have a griddle cooking channel, and I got them to do a BEC even though they never heard of it. Needless to say I was the consultant for that episode!
Wow sounds fantastic
General Ock is a cool guy!!
looks super delicious, gonna try to make one myself tomorrow :)
Followed your food and attraction recommendations spot on didn’t make it to billy but you helped make our trip one to remember keep up the good work thanks from fla and first time traveler to nyk
Wow how is that chopped cheese only $6!? I love my cityyyy!!! 🙌🏽❤️ lol
Lol maybe for half.
The chopped cheese at the 1st Ave bodega was always cheap for a full size hero
What would be awesome with the pho sandwich is a bowl of broth to dip it in! Like a French Dip
Agreed
theres a shop called little kirin that does that! Its delicious
the music youre playing in the background for this video its really cool
I want to take my fiancé to NYC for New Year’s Eve. I haven’t told him yet but I was hinting around about traveling. He said he doesn’t want to go anywhere cold but he’s a big foodie and this would be food heaven! 🤣
If you dipped the pho sandwich in pho broth like a French dip, your head might explode!
I am watching this yummy video while eating my bacon egg and cheese on a roll with avocado and hot sauce. It's part of a NYers food requirements. 😁
Love that!
Hot sauce so goated 😤
You bought food for the camera man? Your a good man Barr!
I LOVE NYC!!!
Oh Jon, you’re killing me man!
I’d scoff them all but I’d have the chopped cheese first!
Time to dust off the passport and head over to NYC again from Bonnie Scotland! Keep on doing what you do! Epic!❤👍👏👏👏😊
Here Be Barr Way
😂😂😂
❤ Mmm looks amazing. Before this video, I had no idea what Bogeta is. Amazing. ❤
This place is on my bucket list
Reminds me of the sandwiches from the "Grease Trucks" back the day at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. Looks like their loaded sandwiches have evolved into what you guys had the great opportunity to try in the Big Apple. Great video! De Elaine la profe de NJ
I went to Rutgers and I agree
As did I, but way before you.
Bodagas and Delis are the life blood of New York. You can go from one neighborhood to another and get any kind of 🥝 good you want
I thought the grease trucks were way overrated honestly. I'd rather drive to NYC and get halal guys than drive to rutgers and get fat sandwhiches.
Grew up with Frankie making the chop cheese!!
That looks awesome.... I may have to visit New York
"Here you go, my brother". Gotta love that!
ThankS Young Ones for livinG Dangerously and tryinG all of these Yummylicious Sammies to giVe uS ideas what we can also create at home!👍Your collaboration worked so damn well...that I think that you two should do more eXcitinG adventures with your awesome cameraman...especially for uS who aRe homebound often becauSe of health challenges!👍Shine On and haVe lotttttS of fuuuun!✌😍🙏😇🌹🌞🌹🌯🥙🌯🌹☕🍵☕
