BRADLEY COOPER Made Me a CHEESESTEAK! Trying Danny & Coop's in NYC!

If you love the channel consider supporting me on Patreon at Patreon.com/UAEats!
Bradley Cooper has opened a Philly cheesesteak restaurant in NYC, and the hype is real! It opened a few times in December but it has reopened in January, at least temporarily. It sells just one menu item, an authentic cheesesteak. What makes this spot interesting is that it's a collab between Bradley Cooper and Angelo's Pizzeria, the latter of which is considered one of the best cheesesteaks in Philly!
Bradley Cooper is from Philadelphia and he has never forgotten his roots! He is perhaps the most famous Eagles fan out there, besides maybe Kevin Hart, and often times you can spot Bradley Cooper at Eagles games. Besides his roles in movies and as an A lister celebrity, Bradley Cooper is now turning to his other passion, making authentic Philly cheesesteaks in New York City!
I decided to try it, as not only is it associated with Bradley Cooper, but it's also associated with Angelo's, the best cheesesteak in Philadelphia in my book, it's definitely the one to beat so far! We will seek to answer the question of is Bradley Cooper's cheesesteak worth the hype? Or is it all just overrated noise because of his name?

Wow what a thrill it must have been for Bradley Cooper to meet a real celebrity like UA!

[@robertkatz5256]

Hi UA . Just keep it up man love your channel have been watching since you originally started and this was a part time gig for you .👍🏻

[@uaeats]

Thank you! That means a lot. Appreciate the support for so long!

[@NeurodivergentLaughter17]

Cooper is definitely A list. He's an actor, writer, producer, director...a film maker. Cool, man!

[@jpark28]

I was going to say Cooper is very easily A list

[@AndrewTaweel]

Anyone who waits on a line like that for any food is just insane

[@SHO1989]

Exactly. I wouldn't wait in a line that long to see the Beatles.

[@nathanialvanlare5903]

Apparently no has stood in a chow line in the military

[@bmepdoc9675]

@@SHO1989 I'm old enough to recall, and yes, I waited in a long line line. When and where? Led Zeppelin's first show at the LA Forum, March 1970. Was it worth it.? What do you think? Like you. I can't ever see myself waiting in that kind of line for a sandwich even if Taylor Swift were handing it to me with a kiss.

[@AndrewTaweel]

@nathanialvanlare5903 those aren't voluntary

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

It wasn't about the food. it was mostly about being a part of a pop up event with a celebrity. The food was secondary. If that's not your thing then whatever, but plenty of us enjoyed it.

[@typerk]

There's not a cheesesteak in the world worth an hour and a half in line. Thanks for taking us along. I believe the best cheesesteaks outside of Philly are made in Jersey

[@uaeats]

South Jersey in particular

[@stevec5465]

I'd rather drive to Philadelphia than wait 1 1/2 hours in line for a cheesesteak.

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

I think you're missing the point here. It's fun to be a part of a pop up event with a celebrity. the food was only half of it. i bet everyone in line was having a good time, chatting with each other etc.

[@t0rnt0pieces]

@@uaeats Go to Donkey's Place in Camden - one of the best cheesesteaks anywhere. Get the fries too.

[@typerk]

@FatherAxeKeeper I guess it depends on the celebrity. Cooper is not one for me to sit in that line for a mediocre food product with the faint hope of catching a glimpse of him. This is just my opinion

[@mikeunconfirmed1489]

11:08 cooper sharp! I see what you did there. You’re spot on about the lack of cheese.

[@mbnyus]

Wait... Keanu Reeves on line for a cheestake at 4:47 ?

[@kevwwong]

Not an Eagles fan, but I do think they should beat the Pack regardless of whether Love plays or not. Can my Texans figure it out against the Chargers? I'm hoping so... Oh, and great review, as always. Cool to see Bradley Cooper cooking in his own restaurant.

[@dannyk1978]

Sorry you didn’t get to speak to Bradley cooper. however you were able to speak to screen writer Jack Toscanini which is even cooler!

[@dos3622]

He's a screen writer? LOL

I agree, the sesame seeds are superfluous.

[@surfstarcc1]

Mediocre cheesesteak but it's cool to see Bradley Cooper working in the kitchen.

[@uaeats]

Definitely! I totally respect that he's making the sandwiches himself. I feel other celebrities would just slap their name on the building and hire someone else to do everything

My fav spot in Philly is Jim’s. The roll is perfect. I’m with you with no sesame seeds. No thanks. However I want to try the $150 wagyu cheesesteak ar Barclays steakhouse in Philly. The have sesame seeds still want to try.

[@acharis-Annie]

A nice surprise for a Saturday morning, UA. I am not a big fan of cheesesteaks, but it did look good. As for my recommendation in your last video to try Ruby Tuesdays, they abruptly shut down the remaining ones this week. Wishing you and Tina a great weekend and week ahead. 😊

[@uaeats]

Oh shoot! They're all gone now? Every last one?

[@acharis-Annie]

@uaeats it seems that way. My goddaughter's friend was a waitress there and she said corporate came in and shut them down mid shift. They started taking apart the restaurant without acknowledging the employees watching them

[@uaeats]

@@acharis-Annie Wow... If there is still one left maybe I should get to it before corporate gets there first...

Too bad Ruby Tuesdays was pretty good. Nice chicken chili and salad bar lunch.

[@charlesdiggs5297]

They were probably cooking in such a volume and crankin numbers sandwiches out. They didn't have a chance to perfectly season. everything they might over at a slower pace plus a condiment would be nice like a nice Chipotle mayo.

[@MrBluesilverred]

Not only do I not know who Bradley Cooper is, I sure as heck am not standing in that line!

Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd.

[@Allenryan819]

I live in Williamsburg Brooklyn, and it’s a really pretty good cheesecake in the bodega nearby where I live called grand Street grocery, and there is fedoroff roast pork cheesesteak restaurant that has really, good cheesesteak as well and I’ve been to Philly.

[@uaeats]

Yeah sometimes a bodega will lowkey make a very good cheesesteak! Just gotta ask them to hold the lettuce and tomato as New Yorkers tend to order it that way. Federoffs is great! I need to review it in 2025 sometime

[@62chad76]

Looks amazing...

[@matthewfreeman33]

Bradley Cooper big timed you!

[@KP-xi4bj]

The cheese steak may be average but, the price is above average. Seventeen bucks for an average cheese steak sandwich? You're definitely paying for the hype.

[@muhammadwasee9454]

Hey UA, would love for you to review steak sandwiches other than the Philly Cheesesteak. Probably your first fan from Pakistan here.

[@uaeats]

Thanks for the support all the way in Pakistan! I appreciate it! That's a good idea. Many steakhouses have steak sandwiches on their lunch menus. Maybe it's worth reviewing them sometime.

[@rollandcrowscall2889]

l wouldn't wait in a line like that for Bradley Cooper or Joe Shmoe...only if l was literally starving.😮

I was wondering why the cheesesteak wasn't as good as the ones served at Angelo's. But then i thought the owner probably wants Angelo's to remain on top, so any side project stuff by design wont be as good lol.

[@RaymondMullen-t9j]

keep IT comin '''...

[@HerrBrutal-bl2fk]

Sounds nice as long as you don't call it a Philadelphia/Philly Cheesesteak. I can understand why Philadelphians go mad when people from elsewhere add peppers and non-original choices of cheese to a cheesesteak sandwich, but on the other hand it's still a cheesesteak, isn't it? I think you should always be open and honest about what you're doing when communicating about food and realize that traditions matter. If you for example replace the beef in a bœuf bourguignon with lamb, it's okay as long as you don't call it a traditional bœuf bourguignon. Respect the traditions, respect the ingredients, respect the art and science of gastronomy, respect your guests and respect yourself as a cook.

[@RaymondMullen-t9j]

Sorry I'm from S.Jersey & Thats how I like Mine ...

[@SHO1989]

IDK, have you been to Jersey Mike's lately? Prices are not too far behind that here in Sh/tsplat , Connecticut. $17 for NYC and possible celebrity spotting seems reasonable by comparison to me.

[@peyotegardens]

A celebrity cheesesteak? Hard pass. I don’t go to restaurants to see the owner. This sandwich is just a below average overpriced cheesesteak

[@worldsgreatestimpressionis6462]

He often apologizes for negative reviews too. As a food reviewer you shouldn't apologize for an opinion.

[@uaeats]

@@worldsgreatestimpressionis6462 Did I apologize for it? I don't recall but let me know where if so (actually asking)

[@worldsgreatestimpressionis6462]

@uaeats No not in this video but a lot of times you say ",It may just be me" or "That's just my opinion " if the food is bad that's not your fault. I am not putting you down I never miss your videos.

[@mark37724]

​@@worldsgreatestimpressionis6462I don't have the same recollections but food reviews are subjective. If you have disagreements on UA's opinions, you could avoid watching his videos. Problem solved.

[@bigdaddyyc]

​@@worldsgreatestimpressionis6462That's not apologizing. He may not like something but can recoginize it may only be his personal preference, especially if others really like it or the food quality is obviously good. Taste is subjective.

[@Yankeefan2807]

The more popular UA gets the more toxic these comments get. WOW.

[@spaceghost27]

how do people live like this? i dont get it

[@carols3517]

That looked awful. Why would you get a nice soft roll and not have any bread to taste. That is part of the flavor,otherwise, it's just crust! The cheese should always be melted when you get it,not hope it melts. Also, all beef has to be seasoned with salt. I would rather have less meat and more bun. They should take the juice from cooking and dip quickly for it to be moist. Opening day forgiven, hope they read the reviews. Great job UA!

[@trevorgeorge6031]

When do we get to see the lovely Tina on camera!? UA we want to see what kind of taste you have in women!

[@uaeats]

I would say it was good for NYC, but for Philly yeah I'd say it was definitely less than great. But I appreciate that it's actually him cooking them rather than just slapping his name on it and having someone else do all the work

[@misfits9095]

@@uaeatsI think he was talking about your video lol.

[@dvaunt3516]

Butalina's comment is below average. Why? Because he simply put up a critique without offering any suggestions for improvement. Maybe if he starts doing that, people will start taking his opinions seriously, until then, its just a clown horn.

[@lacieheart3915]

hes just a human...you act like hes a God ..who wants to wait for that sandwich? hes a movie actor. period. a human being.

[@uaeats]

I did not say he was a god. I said "he's one of us" in the intro and that was part of his appeal (to Philadelphians and Eagles fans). I also said at the end just think of this as a cheesesteak place and don't think too much about the Bradley Cooper component of it

[@HerrBrutal-bl2fk]

I suspect New Yorkers are jealous of Philadelphians. Over here in Europe, cheesesteak sandwiches are famous too. Most Europeans also know that pizza is popular in New York, but I've never heard anyone who's not from New York say that they're particularly good. Maybe we Europeans are spoiled with superior pizza, or maybe tourists don't visit the right pizza shops. I've been to the US, but not to NYC. I'd love to try the Italian food there and compare it to what I've experienced in Italy, but I would avoid Little Italy.

[@alebroker7587]

New York, New Haven, Chicago and Buenos Aires, share one thing in common. Great Pizza.

[@HerrBrutal-bl2fk]

@alebroker7587 I'd like to try them all! The only pizza I've eaten in the Western Hemisphere is a slice I had in Miami Beach. The less I say about that experience the better. In Sweden, where I live, you can find all sorts of pizza; Neapolitan pizza, New York style pizza, Pizza Hut and Domino's like in many other countries, but the most unique type of pizza, as well as the most common one is traditional Swedish pizza. This pizza variety originally was made by Italian immigrants in the decades following WWII who couldn't find the ingredients they were used to back in Italy and therefore experimented with various Swedish cheeses, types of flour etc and created something the world had never seen before. Nowadays, pizzerias in Sweden are usually run by people from the Mid East. These restaurants often also serve kebab and sometime during the 1980s the kebab pizza was born. Today, kebab meat and different mayo and sour cream based sauces are among the most popular pizza toppings in Sweden. It has little to do with Neapolitan pizza, but most people who try it like it. It's difficult to go wrong with the combination of meat, cheese and bread.

[@alebroker7587]

@HerrBrutal-bl2fk i would definetly like to try that Swedish Pizza, although I would look for an intalian run restaurant, not a middle estern run place. I dont like places that do kebab and pizza at the same time. I like places that specialize in one dish.

[@joelowens5211]

Nothing but marketing crap. Bradley there to jump the business sales and hope they keep coming to try and see him sometime. He makes way more money filming. Most restaurants only make 10% profit margins after expenses but before taxes. The amazing ones do 20%. You see lots of people but that is not 24/7 just lunch and dinner rushes. The cheesesteak shown here looks very underwhelming. I can't stand those type of thin sesame buns. Too many seeds and the bread being thin and dry flakes off into bits all over you for crumbs and makes a mess. Jersey Mike's number 42 chicken philly, with chipolte mayo, on a wheat bun, and add bacon at the end. Crushes that philly shown there.
