My mom used to cook chipped beef at the end of the month for the family when money was tight. It was a very traditional recipe in her family that my grandparents cooked, my grandma called that reciple "shit on a shingle." Its sooo damn good on a piece of sour dough
HAHA. That was our usual stop on Saturday nights after getting drunk at the Instant Replay in 89. My aunt lived right near there in Pennypack. Great shit!
I grew up in the Philly burbs and now that I've been away for 30+ years, this show reminds me of how unique growing up with foods from the area is. Stuff that makes people cringe anywhere else, but they don't know how awesome this food is. SOS, scrapple, pork roll, chicken croquettes. All classics. And on top of it all you have Philly cheese steaks.
Couldn’t agree more. I grew up in South Philly. I moved to Seattle 8 years ago. I love it here for the most part. But my goodness do I miss aspects of Philly. And the 2 things I miss the most are being around Eagles football(not quite the same when you’re watching it from far away) and what I consider to be one of the most underrated food cities in the world.
Brother! Another fellow guitar assassin! Lol. Man I fell in love with Philadelphia almost immediately. Been through there a couple dozen times, but I was busy so my time is always limited. Haven't truly scratched the surface. I know there's super rough parts, but I had this idea in my head (same with Boston and Chicago) that everyone was rough, gruff and scary, lol. Couldn't have been more wrong. Some of the nicest people ever. Of course I respect anyone from anywhere, but when Philly locals knew how stoked I was to be there asking questions, they were more than nice telling me all the places to visit. Respect! Can't wait to visit again
comfort food is so satisfying because the value of accomplishing the dish cheaply yourself also if you cant order. These recipes could feed ya 5xs over for what you pay for an establishment for the convenience. The best kind to study up and perfect
Best place to go for creamed chipped beef (shit on the shingle) and their scrapple is the best...I'm surprised they didn't do their french onion soup that's a big favorite there
Had chipped beef wile in the Navy & it was really quite good. If given a choice of biscuits & gravy or chipped beef, it would be difficult. Enjoy both equally.
If you still work there, i would like to ask a favor if you are willing and if it is possible. I'm from rural Kentucky and i would like to get the recipe for the chicken croquettes and sauce, i do not own a cafe or restaurant, it would be more of a situation of helping out a mission/food bank project to feed as many people as possible on a limited budget, and to feed them a tasty, filling meal. If you could get me the recipe, it would be much appreciated because trying to stretch as much as i can with foods like meatloaf, soup beans, etc...so if you could ask Larry, tell him the situation it will be used for and forward it to me, i would be very thankful. It is not going to be published or spread on the internet or anything like that. Have a nice day and ty, God bless. Also, if you cannot obtain the recipe, let me know that info on here if possible, it is ok.
Steve Logan I don’t know if you ever found it or someone helped out but here’s a link to the recipe that Chef Larry provided Food Network! My Great Grandmom used to make them from thanksgiving turkey leftovers when all of the good sandwich bits were gone and it was one step from the soup pot! www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/chicken-croquettes-recipe0-2011435
It was originally called the Torresdale Diner when he bought it in 1961, not the Dining Car. My Dad and I would have breakfast on Sundays after delivering my Sunday Inquirer route and going to church, occasionally we would bring the family but usually, it was just the two of us. The change to the Dining Car came in 1976 and it became my friends and I go to place after the clubs closed. Fond memories.
Karena Mason one other question, i do not own a restaurant or anything like that, i am from rural kentucky, would you happen to know or could you get me the recipe for the cone shaped chicken croquettes and chicken gravy ?, it would just be for me and my family to cook and eat at home, because we eat a lot of chicken and almost always have chicken scraps we could make that meal out of, if you cannot, that os ok, just let me know one way or the other please, ty.
Steve Logan to be honest I'm not even sure how to make them I think Google would be your best bet or a TH-cam video would be the easiest way to see how to make them.. sorry I couldn't help
If you like bacon, sausage links, sausage patties, country ham, then you like scrapple, if you have never eaten scrapple you like it, you just do not know it yet.
@@vinniethegooch7830 it's pork scraps, or pork bulk sausage (browned) mixed in corn flour wheat flour and some times buckwheat flour, seasoned well, formed in a loaf then sliced and either pan fried or deep fat fried , some people drizzle with syrup, some put an over easy egg on top some eat it plain after frying. I prefer it with the bulk browned peppered pork sausage in it pan fried and drizzled with syrup.
@@briangleason5597 traditionally it is but I don't do liver.. originally it was what ever pork scrapes were given to slaves from the kitchen then they mixed it with cornmeal and fried . That's where scrapple originated from. 😉
Give a military cook some decent ingredients and magic can happen. Not going to be Michelin star stuff, but it'll be tasty and you probably won't need another meal for a good 10 hours. Or a 10 mile run with full gear, whichever comes first.
We were there maybe two months ago and meet the new owner. Gave everybody a 10% discount that day. Can never finish the three huge thick delicious pan cakes they make. We always buy a pack of cinnamon rolls and other items from their great bakery. Make great Jewish apple cake. Like another nearby diner on the Avenue they are no longer open 24/7.
I love chipped beef, have since I had it at age 3-4. Grew up with grandparents, so I was introduced to older recipes. Really good on potato or hawaiian bread too.
If the prices are reasonable, and being a diner i would say they are, if i were not married or if i lived alone now that i am 55 and retired, i would be a more regular customer than the fellow at the start who eats there 2x a day on every weekday, i'd be a 2x a day, 7 days a week with that menu. Even with my wife, we would be fairly regular customers
Scrapple is delicious there in Pa. area, & in W.Va., Virginia & , N.C. fried liver mush is great & in central to southern Oh. & to northern- Central Ky., goetta is great, it is a combo of ground pork, beef, pin oats, spices, & and pan fried til crispy on outside & tender on inside, several brands but from best down the top 3 brands are Glier's , J.B.'s, , Finke's & it is a German food & absolutely delicious , info from me a 59 yr old Irish man, great food
Growning up poor i remember getting beat up cause i wasnt rich never had lobster and the worst beating i ever got was from a rich kid saying "your so poor u cant eat like us and u will never have toast like us"
My dad used to talk about having shit on a shingle like that in the Army when he did his basic at Ft Dix. He said they had a great cook that ran their mess. When he got to Vietnam tho, they ran out of supplies and they were forced to eat K rations for about a week.
Chipped beef......yankee name for it! Down here in the south, we call that "S.O.S" or "Shit on a Shingle"......either way, if it's done right, that's some GOOD shit!!!
What's wrong with chipped beef? Good stuff! I make it the same as a southern sausage gravy except I use reserved bacon fat to start it off with the flour.
It has a bad rap, it is a common item on military menus (at least back in the day) where not much care was put into its production and the gravy had a tendency toward wallpaper paste.
If it's been open for that long.'Nuff said.Guy has to admit he got owned at 7:19 by that old boy though.😁I still believe Guy FIERI is the KING OF FOOD.✌👊😎
I think the navy/marines make their's with ground beef and it is good, but i like chipped beef the best. I even use the cheater meat sometimes, and buy Buddig brand beef in a package which i chop up , and make my own cream gravy, and i even have been known to cheat on that and use packaged cream gravy, if you do, i recommend pioneer brand or country southern brand, talk about a quick meal, but it still beats most fast food places.
This teaches me a lesson now at my age of 66 years, watching the heavy looking people, its time for me ( my dr. Say I'm at the right weight for my age ) to start exercising more because by myself I have 3 chocolate shakes, and 2-4 quarts 2 Dryers chocolate icecream. I would eat the food that they are showing on this show.
Scrapple is the most delicious food in the world - I'm biased because I'm from PA, but it is absolutely amazing. People shit talking scrapple have never had it. Hot dogs are made from the same ingredients (which is totally cool and socially acceptable).
I like the chef, seems to be a good cook with great menu ideas, and seems to be just a really nice fellow, l'd love to eat there
My mom used to cook chipped beef at the end of the month for the family when money was tight. It was a very traditional recipe in her family that my grandparents cooked, my grandma called that reciple "shit on a shingle." Its sooo damn good on a piece of sour dough

I mean come on, i didnt know people didnt know scrapple….its the best breakfast meat there is

I thought I heard my home Philly accent. Then I saw scrapple and got all homesick.
Me being from Maryland I knew I saw a can of old bay at 4:56 and it was only there for a second
As a far northeast guy in Philadelphia I used to love this place. Great food
My favorite show on Food Network, although he should come to Pueblo Colorado, & check out the restaurants here
I miss it there. I live in Florida and long for Chicken Croquets. My parents always brought us there and we loved the food. Need to go home.
Give me this place every day over a “fancy” place. All of that looked amazing.
It looked great -- but not for a date!!
I’m lucky I live in Philadelphia and I love the Dining Car I go there all the time
Why is fancy in quotations marks, I’m confused....
Mantis Toboggan tell me why that’s confusing...
Bananas Ooh nah nah oh i get it now, it is a direct quote from the owner calling it fancy... but in reality it is a casual dining eatablishment
I love this show
The Dining Car is a classic here in Philly...love that place!
Always a winner at the Dining Car. Great place, great family, great customers.
you need to check your white privilege
Brian needs more medication
@@brianclark4796 way more, especially after the shot of 13 black dudes eating there lol
This my favorite show and I just love Guy........
I live right around the corner from this place. Pretty good, croquttes were delicious.
Travis same not tat far away tho
RIGHT HERE!
Been here many times and it’s always good, and as delicious as it looks.
Amazing place in Philly. People outside our area don’t know how great diners in Jersey and Pennsylvania are
Looks amazing!! Now that's good food 24/7
Ain't 24 any more sadly Philly is a shitty place lol
I never knew Guy came to The Dining Car! Love this place! The food is always amazing!
Thanks Jess, Nancy
comfort food is so satisfying because the value of accomplishing the dish cheaply yourself also if you cant order. These recipes could feed ya 5xs over for what you pay for an establishment for the convenience. The best kind to study up and perfect
I love when people dont get scrapple….its so good, grew up on it
yeah some one got me started on scrapple when i was in Maryland in the Army i love the stuff enough i learned how to make my own
I love the chipped beef from the dining car , I used to live neaeby I truly miss it !
"The smooth blandness of the sauce" haha way to advertise that chef
Mike Greensmith Yet, it is a good description.
It's literally flour milk and oil lmao
Best place to go for creamed chipped beef (shit on the shingle) and their scrapple is the best...I'm surprised they didn't do their french onion soup that's a big favorite there
Fav anime
Had chipped beef wile in the Navy & it was really quite good. If given a choice of biscuits & gravy or chipped beef, it would be difficult. Enjoy both equally.
i live right near this place
We have something like those croquettes in Brazil, called "coxinhas". Same shape, made with mandioca dough and shredded chicken.
What is mandioca?
you just teasing me with that... you teasing me.. haha
02:38 - 02:44 ; I bet when Quarantine started that guy had to cook all his meal every single day. And when Quarantine ended I bet he was so ecstatic.
RIGHT HERE
I work here lol
Bodrov's Films Productions is the fellow who is the chef or head cook featured on this video as nice as he seems ?, and he looks like a good cook.
Bodrov's Films Productions me too lol in the late 90s
If you still work there, i would like to ask a favor if you are willing and if it is possible.

www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/chicken-croquettes-recipe0-2011435
Love those Chicken Croquets! They remind me of Summer in South Jersey with Grammy & Pop-Pop!!!!
Extra Gravy!!!!!
My Dad, wwII vet called it shit on a shingle. But my mom cooked a legit for lunch. One of my all time favs
I always knew it as shit on a shingle didn't find out the real name til I was like 13😂😂
We called it SOS.
Chip beef on sourdough toast is a great meal in the winter.
The Dining Car has the best, I mean the best French Onion Soup. Just incredible.
Using every little bit they can and it looks delicious
Did anyone else think of a magic soup pot when guy said chef frizzle
Yep 10/19 i would be like the guy who eats there 5 days a week & twice a day, maybe all 3 meals, after church on sunday of course
It was originally called the Torresdale Diner when he bought it in 1961, not the Dining Car.

EDW< you know your TDC History. Good for you and thanks, Nancy
They never film Guy's eyes when he's talking to babes. Eyes on the prize, flavor town
It's because he has to wear a restrictive 'hannibal Lector' style mask when he's talking to girls -- in case he gets carried away
I love scrapple!
“the smooth blandness of the sauce...” sounds delicious lmao
She said back to bed 😂😂😂after guy asked where they were going lol
Rejected
Love it
You can't go wrong
I worked there for 4years, amazing food and people, definitely the one of the best diners and job ever
Karena Mason is the chef as nice as he is on t.v., seems like a nice fellow and a good cook
Steve Logan He's an amazing chef, he has his days tho lol overall he's a great guy 😊

At any given time there are at least 12 women named Angie, Marie or Renee eating here.
4 girls with the middle name "Marie" have cheated on me. Nowadays I stay away from Marie's.
Neil Yaremchuk Angie here, lol
Now o just gotta go there and eat
There’s always a linda
Barbara!
Jenny. Like Forest Gump. Jenn NaE
The chipped beef looks so good!!
Chipped Beef for breakfast, Scrapple for lunch, Croquettes for dinner. That would be a perfect day
That Creamed Chopped Beef recipe is straight from the Standard Navy Recipe Card.
Give a military cook some decent ingredients and magic can happen. Not going to be Michelin star stuff, but it'll be tasty and you probably won't need another meal for a good 10 hours. Or a 10 mile run with full gear, whichever comes first.
I like Guy Fieri. He is my inspiration!
Been to dining car four times just had chicken croquettes food is awesome
This looks cool
Those chicken croquettes on mashed potatoes looks awesome
I would at one of these diners at least 10 times a week!!! Easily!
We were there maybe two months ago and meet the new owner. Gave everybody a 10% discount that day. Can never finish the three huge thick delicious pan cakes they make.

They’re potatoe pancakes are really good
Scrapple and SOS Mummmm!
Now I’m drooling and it is about an hour’s drive to the closest diner. What to do, what to do?
If the prices are reasonable, and being a diner i would say they are, if i were not married or if i lived alone now that i am 55 and retired, i would be a more regular customer than the fellow at the start who eats there 2x a day on every weekday, i'd be a 2x a day, 7 days a week with that menu.

The dining car is on Frankford Avenue in philly
Good Simple Forever

Those comfort crepes are Polish: Naleśniki ❤️❤️❤️
The Philly place serves up some phallic looking food.
Growning up poor i remember getting beat up cause i wasnt rich never had lobster and the worst beating i ever got was from a rich kid saying "your so poor u cant eat like us and u will never have toast like us"
Looks delicious i like the recipe brother crepes
Deeeym! Im hungry!
My dad used to talk about having shit on a shingle like that in the Army when he did his basic at Ft Dix. He said they had a great cook that ran their mess. When he got to Vietnam tho, they ran out of supplies and they were forced to eat K rations for about a week.
Would stop at the dining car late nights when home on leave.
I always thought it was called "shit on a shingle?"
That's what we called it. S.O.S..
Army 1980's.
Yep.....S.O.S, on toasted white bread!!!
Good call, to the norms, it’s just chipped beef on toast.
That is what My Dad told me his experience in WWII.
But do you honestly think they'd call it that on this show? C'mon now...
Chipped beef......yankee name for it! Down here in the south, we call that "S.O.S" or "Shit on a Shingle"......either way, if it's done right, that's some GOOD shit!!!
Brandon Hyatt i agree with you friend, i'm from kentucky, rural area, we still eat regularly, i love it.
Yeah they call it that everywhere, just can't say it on tv.
I wonder if this place is open 24/7
pureredempti0N it is
Only on the weekends now
RIGHT 'ERE
I wish I was Guy at 2:02...

Scrapple is the bomb!!!
The Army called chipped beef SOS. Shit on a Shingle. It looks good.
I like the burguer
Man, I haven't had chipped beef since my dad passed. That looked amazing!
*SCRAPPLE WITH GRITS AND EGGS
Josef Frizzle
Can’t find sos up here, they just give me biscuits and gravy, Ide kill for that plate of chipped beef..
$100 , Guy got those 2 girls Phone numbers
His hair is Spiked with Mayo!
1:47 Is that an item of clothing or a full-body orthopedic cast? Honestly can't tell.
Smooth blandness of the sauce? Not really the first way I'd describe my chipped beef.
Next diner in phila is the melrose
mj durst yes my favorite diner
Just when you think you know what perfection is......:20 shows up.
Did he ever go to Helen's
Jimmy was about to wack Henry in that restaurant
Hey, Guy Fieri, are you ever going to do an episode with Steak'N Shake?
Fast food chains don't count!
