Brits try real Philly Cheesesteak for the first time!

So we drove to Philadelphia and the

first

thing that appeared on the menu was Philly Cheesesteaks. A lot of

time

has passed. I'm very, very excited. I've been wanting to try an authentic Philly

cheesesteak

in Philadelphia for a while, but we don't

real

ly know what we're doing. We have contacted a friend of ours, who resides in Philadelphia, was born and raised. Chef Chris Cho. He will show us what's going on. Chris. Here is the. Hi how are things? Hey, how are you bro? How nice to see you again. Good to see you. What's happening? This is my man, Chiefon.

Hi boss. Nice to meet you. Welcome to Philadelphia. Come on. I love it. I love the energy. This is your hometown, right? Yes. Good good. I love Korean food. Yes. But I love Philadelphia. And you grew up eating

cheesesteak

s. Of course. Well. Now, everyone in New York that we talked to about going to Philly said, "I have to go to Pat's or Geno's." Yes, which one are you going to? Pat or Geno? That was all they said. That was the question. And then we got to Philadelphia and everyone said, "You're not going to Pat's or Geno's, are you?" Don't go near them.

So we said: Of course not. It wouldn't even occur to me. An Angelo's pizzeria with a confusing name. Yes. Apparently the pizza is good, but the cheesesteak is even better. As soon as we walked in, I mean, it's like the stock market was flipping there, full of people. That's us. We've heard this is the best cheesesteak in Philly. And we had to make a proper Philly, you know what I mean? Angel. Well. This is very heavy. Oh, he looks like a baby. Oh my God. I say to you. He weighs more than a baby. That's a heavy baby.

That's a heavy baby. Look at this dude. Alright. Let's get involved. Have you had Philly cheesesteaks before? No, it's not. It's literally my

first

time

. Like Philly cheesesteaks, it's pretty famous. Everyone knows that Philly cheesesteak. You are here now. So I just said cheesesteak. Yes Yes Yes. In Philadelphia we call it a cheesesteak? Oh, it's just a cheesesteak. I don't believe it. Outside of Philadelphia people call it the Philly cheesesteak. Well. You know what I'm talking? It is a tautology. Yeah. You don't say like Korean kimchi fried rice. Yes Yes Yes. That's true. Yes, that makes sense.

You guys got the seal now, you could call it a cheesesteak. They have given us permission. Here you have. This is something I've wanted to try for a long time. You probably won't be able to get cheesesteak in the UK. No, well, I mean, you can order steak and cheese, but we never thought about mixing them. That's true. So this is the genius. So in the UK, genius means, well, urinating. Yes, treat yourself. Yes, they don't say that in the United States. So if someone gave you a genius, a genius steak, no. The Whiz sandwich is bad.

Yes, do you want to try it? Pixelate that. This is the classic recipe. Is that like genie cheese? That's the cheese that comes out of the can. Is that kind of genius? I must say that it seems that this is how fish and chips are sold in the UK. Yes. It is exactly as it comes. Oh my God. Oh, wow. Come on. That's a lot of meat. No wonder it's so heavy. Check it out. Oh my God. Just do it. Cheers man. Greetings, let's go. Health. Come on. Come on. Wow. Oh my God. And they also use the garnish called bread with seeds.

She was about to say: That bread is amazing. The texture of that bread. That

real

ly tastes like coronary heart disease. Know? As serious. It tastes like not being able to see your grandchildren. Oh my God. So when you're younger, you eat them more often. As you get older, you slow down. It goes once a week, once a month, it changes for people. It's like lollipops. Yes. I don't remember the last time I ate a lollipop. But when I was a child. Loving it. In New York we ate a sandwich called chopped cheese. And there were similarities.

The cheese is definitely very similar to this one. Bread. This is a crusty bread on the outside. Very soft in the middle. This absorbs some of that beef fat. The beef, however, in the chopped cheese, I feel like it was almost like hamburger meat. Chopped. It's meaty. I guess that's why you call it a steak. Yes. Depending on where you go, they usually use ribeye meat. Then ribeye. It's basically a chopped ribeye steak. Well. First of all, I think you should try the Whiz version. This is like the classic, right? Yes. Yes. How cheesy, meaty and just right.

It's so soft in there. It's almost like a meat shake. Know? Meat and cheese smoothie. Yeah. I mean it sounds gross. Yes. It tastes delicious. If that were a smoothie, you could sip it through a straw. Wow. Wow. It's not the best image, but yes. This is a paid partnership with BetterHelp. Last year around this time my mental health was in a bad place so I started therapy and I had one thing on my mind, Josh, this better help me. Well, a year later I can tell you that it helped me improve. And if it were better, I'd bet therapy is the best way to help you get better too.

It's hard to think of a better improvement help than BetterHelp. Is this confusing? Josh, you better help me. Oh my God. Ollie is joking, but we've both had mental health issues and are strong advocates of talking to someone when you're going through a tough time.

Philadelphia isn't kidding. Yes. I know why this is famous. UH Huh. Yes. He did a good job too. You know, like I said, they're a new place. Philadelphia. We hate a new place, but they deserve it.

Watch this. Everyone loves it. Many people. Everyone in New York says, "Oh, are you going to Pat's or Geno's?" When we said Pat's or Geno's, they both said, "No." Yes. I still take people there all the time. Like when my aunts come, my cousins ​​come, we still have to take them. It's the classic. They stood like a bigger sign. It says Pat's and Geno's. You can take a small photo in front. But here it's not like you're here to eat. Know? Oh yeah. Napkin distributor. Thank you so much. So how is this different from Pat and Geno?

Pat and Geno's are sliced. Well. Sliced. Well. I imagine it's a little harder to digest. A bit. It almost looks like a slice of bulgogi. Like sliced. Some people like that too. Some people like it sliced. Some people like it chopped. I understand Pat and Geno's, don't get me wrong. When I'm drunk at 1 in the morning, that's the time. Uber Eats are coming. That is the time and place. They don't open at 1 a.m. Alright. Wow, exhausted. Well, we just had the most original recipe. The classic, the genius of cheese. This is... That's Cooper Sharp. Oh shoot.

Sharp Cooper. Sharp Cooper. I swear, Chris... He knows everyone. This is your hometown. You know everyone. Family's friend. Like a little community here. Alright. Oh yeah. Wow, look at that. So the cheese, the cheese, is really what's different here. Wow, there are a lot of onions too. Then you can see the fried onions. Onions are more prominent here. Yes. To be honest, you might like this better. I like this better. Do you believe? Because? This is what they recommend. To be honest, cheese genius is good when you are young. Because you don't know the quality of the cheese.

So we are old. I mean, we're old. He says, yes, we are old. Health. Health. You have to unhinge your jaw for that. Wow. Wow. Oh my God. Yes. Wow. Well well. I understand what you mean about it being a more sophisticated flavor. Well, it is. It's. I need a little fist bump there. What cheese is that? Cooper Sharp. Cooper Sharp. I don't know if we have that in the UK. Is incredible. It has a different flavor. Which one do you like the most? This is decadent. Yes. It's decadent. That is. I'm going to wish for that.

Yes. As soon as we get back to London, this is what I'm going to miss. It's pretty simple, isn't it? Good? If you think it's like bread, high quality meat, wow. Onions, cheese. That's all. They do it right. Why is it so simple but so difficult to achieve? Yeah. Honestly, people in Philly, every time there's cheesesteak outside of Philly, Oh yeah. We just hate it. Oh really? I am not going to lie. That's what I, you know, Oh, that's not a real Philly cheesesteak, but how hard is it to get it? But people understand it. Sometimes you know.

Philadelphia is known for cheesesteaks. It is known for rowdy Eagles fans. Go birds. You know what I mean? I guess he's known for brotherly love. Oh yeah. Philadelphia. What else should we do while we're here? Do you think we're known for our pretzels? Pretzels, ice water. Frozen water. Where should we go? Frozen water. We call it as water ice. As we pronounce it water ice. I'm sorry, what? Frozen water. Frozen water. Yes. Do you like water ice? But isn't it ice water? I think that's more Asian, no. Isn't it all ice water? Frozen water. Frozen water.

Oh, it's like a sorbet. The sorbet is of much higher quality. This is simple. I mean, it's in the name. Frozen water. And we've also heard a lot about wa-was. Yes, oh yes, the wa-was are huge. Yes. Should we check the wah-wah? Yes. Hesitation. I forget because when Danny returns to Philly. Oh yeah, miss wa-wa. He always goes to wa-wa, but to me it's like going to Korea and saying, Hey, do you want to go see 7-Eleven? It's like, ah, I guess that's a thing. But the wa-wa is huge here. You forget that we don't have it outside of Korea, okay?

So if we go wa-wa, what should we order? Hoagies. Hoagies. Hoagies. Do you know what hoagies are? It's a sub sandwich. Subsandwich. Like this. Without, not cooked. Sausages. Well. That's why in Philadelphia we call it a funnel. I think New York or other places call it hero or subway. And in England we call it a sandwich. How is the sandwich different? We really don't. No, we don't. They're all just sandwiches. So when someone says, hey, do you want a sandwich? How do you know it will be like this or like that? You don't, you don't. Guess?

To be fair, let's be honest: we don't have many good sandwiches in the UK. If someone orders a sandwich, usually. Well. Hear. If anyone, don't join. Excuse me. In the name of our nation and the king. This is the comparison. That's a sandwich. That's exactly what they're saying. We don't call this a sandwich, right? No. We don't have a word for things like this. When you say you want a sandwich in England, it's two flat pieces of toasted white bread. Yes. Maybe with a little ham and cheese in the middle. A little cucumber and cream cheese.

I mean, there's nothing that exciting. Well, thank you very much guys. Of course. Thank you. We would never have found this place without you. I appreciate it, it's incredible. I'm glad you liked it. I'm happy that you liked it. That was a vivid memory, right there. Yes. My first cheese steak. Yes. Before the cheesesteak, we shook hands like this after the cheesesteak. If we tried, it would just slide out. If you don't follow Chef Chris Cho, yes, check him out. Some of the best Korean food you'll find in the United States. Right here. Hell yeah. And if you haven't been to Philly, Angelo's man, that was an amazing cheesesteak.

Thank you all for putting Philadelphia on the map too. That is, there are many maps in which it appears. You guys saw that, right? As soon as they walked in, they said, "JOLLY!" Yeah, that was crazy. That was crazy. That doesn't happen often.
