When Nick asks the waiter if they dip the cheeseburger and he replies "if you want it", I got the impression that if you ordered a cup of coffee and asked for it to be dipped, they'd figure out a way of making that work.

[@lfc-europe]

So true 😅

[@DILLIGAF785643]

Coffee? No! We just serve cups of broth!

[@patrickrheaume4459]

I assure you that’s correct!

[@007nikster2]

That roast beef had some profound tensile strength. Quite the platonic ideal of a sandwich!

[@HAHA_468]

0:29 Nick’s got that step back on point👌

[@jegliker123]

that thumb seems like a decent waiter

[@Danny-is5if]

That my friend, is one of the most feared creatures in the universe. His name is Majin Buu.

[@Jeebmeister]

Danny Moe so true 😂😂😂👌🏻

[@hoilst]

It's a cold and dreary day when the Thumb can't extend a bit o' hospitality to 'is guests! Come, enter and be welcome at The Sea's Bounty!

[@adamvuong]

i spat my water all over my laptop after reading this

[@ryandickerson9699]

ok ko yeah, but sometimes the thumb should just be confined to the rear

[@killforthemula]

He said, "let me get a buuuuuuurga" chef says back, "you want a cheeseburger" lmao

[@SailHatinSoap]

I'm here because George Motz somehow. I can feel it

[@anthonypoche2195]

Me too lmao

[@maus-boyv6173]

Me too .

[@TheWingus]

The hair brought you here

[@SuperBanned4life]

Tip from a local: Dont get the sandwich dipped, get the gravy on side.

[@WASN55]

SellurSole Is the non dipped Sandwich great then? is this place on the subway line? If so, what train, and station? Mark from Canada

[@SuperBanned4life]

im not a huge fan of roast beef, i prefer the burger, but people really like the roast beef. take the Q train to avenue u

[@Moegasboiiii]

Nah u buggin i get it double dipped all day long

[@Boris_Chang]

I do I do

[@jakeschwartz1038]

SellurSole dipped garguilio burger

[@paulroberts4569]

Looks bowel-shatteringly delicious: Cheers, Nick!!!

[@fatcatfarms]

Im 42, been eating there since kindergarten...best roast beef sandwich...and when you get it dipped, it's called an "KFJ"(knife, and fork job)..it was really funny when you picked up the KFJ with your hand

[@kanalithviper4744]

Oh yeah I kinda cringed at that. Love the knife and fork

[@ariel3725]

don't think I'm a fan of the wet bread. but I think, like most people have mentioned here, the sauce would be better off the side so you can pour it (or dip in it) later. I still prefer the bread to hold its shape while you're taking a bite out of it.

[@normandea]

I agree. When the bread is soaked in the aus jus, it just disintegrates. On the side would definitely be best.

[@eliseserpico7866]

@@normandea I've been there and had it both ways. It's honestly better soaked. The inside of the bread gets amazing and soft, but the outside still has a crust. It's really hard to explain.

[@normandea]

@@eliseserpico7866 There will always be a multitude of opinions on almost every topic regarding food. And I respect yours!

[@djpeekay25]

Ariel agree, bread is not to be eaten soaked.

[@juliuscaesar1062]

i personally would like it if i tried it, because i hate those burger buns that are dry

[@Manuel-qu3tc]

I'd eat there just to get served by this waiter. Seems like he knows his stuff and is funny AF in a Peter Griffin sort of way.

[@jf4156]

chef sounds like peter griffin

I went to Brennan & Carr after the Aviators Hockey games back a few years ago. one of the best sandwiches i ever had. I had a budweiser with it and all was great

[@jamesburke5767]

Nick is such a mod. Love it !

[@DR.ELEKTRIK]

I trust that Chef!! He obviously has been eating really well.

[@aljr357]

That looks so so so good I love these kids of sandwiches.

[@RBuckminsterFuller]

That chef eats the menu for every meal.

Hey, quality control.

I live 2 blocks away from Brennan and Carr and I pass by there almost everyday and i always see people ordering food outside in the summer and it smells amazing

[@shattamaster]

sharon pass it all the time

[@misplacedcajun2325]

Profound, ethereal, iconic, evocation, viscous, imbued, tensile strength

[@chrisbender4987]

I grew up in Bensonhurst and I recall when riding with parents we drove past this place a thousand times, never once ate there though, I got to change that real soon!

[@BlammmSugnin]

I always drive past this place, never knew it was well known. Will try it next time.

[@nathanpickering9253]

I ate eight sausages for dinner. Sausages are so deceptive. When you're eating them you feel nothing so you binge but an hour later you feel sick. What a confusing world.

[@xlil0ne]

Nathan Pickering that's how I feel everytime I have sausage 😷 I mean not 8 but they always make me sick lol

[@John77Doe]

Nathan Pickering What kind of sausage? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@forrestward1934]

Nathan Pickering I can get to that.

[@benis9965]

it`s a dick joke.

[@Paulo-zr5zo]

^No dude they ate real sausage food not like you

[@Mdsde]

I used to hate nick, but shit like 0:29 and other little nuances over the series makes me realise he's not a prick in the slightest. Especially that meat show throwback, like ordering straight vodka because they had no water. Such a giggle.

[@bowowx7772]

[@sangminyi93]

Yea, I don't know why people are pissed off at him so much ... I wish there was more of the meat show

[@winniedabish8116]

Yes, this is such a good observation!

[@Ben7seven7]

I have been here and tried all three of those items. My recommendation is just stick with the roast beef and have it dipped. It’s to die for. Very good.

[@burgelkutt]

You have the greatest job! Keep up the good work! I am hungry again!

[@AbsolutelyRuwaydah]

Ive been to Brenan and Carr and the roast beef sandwich in broth is sooo yum!

[@Opfor-NYC]

Ate at that place several times! Love it

[@mingisoon3898]

Bruh I'm stoned outta my mind and been binge watching this dude talk about food so good😩

[@TF2DJRANDOM]

In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit.

[@lordpest5150]

I’m in Evansville IN. We used to have a place called,”Sir Beef”. The look and food remind me of said restaurant.

[@TheGreatHohenheim]

It's far wiser to get the broth on the side so you can dip as you go. The bread doesn't get too soggy and you get that great mix of flavors!

[@paulgriffiths3984]

My mouth in watering just watching 😲🤤

[@travissomething3341]

I'd get it on the side and pour it on the meat. I am not a fan of soggy ass bread. But, good job Nick. Notably less pretentious here!

[@charlesnguessan7143]

most ppl who aren't mental dont eat soggy bread. This must be the dumbest concept i've ever seen....Me eating soggy bread = higher chance of shooting myself in the foot.

[@RetardPwnage]

Same here bro

[@Malepical]

I can get down with ALL that.. but I'm from Chicago, home of the Italian beef.. and most of us like ours dipped 😁

[@-CrampedStyle-]

What's interesting about B&C's is that I grew up in the area, and never once did I nor my friends set foot in this place. It always seemed like this bizarre restaurant, a low, windowless building set on a concrete island. Whenever I walked by it, which was nearly daily, I thought "That place cannot serve good food." Here I am 40 years later, and turns out I was wrong. Now it's a hipster destination.

This is an Italian beef on an onion roll. Been doing this in Chicago forever. I'd be knifing and forking it as well. This is why we have a half dip.

[@EdKelly-yu6gp]

it's not an onion roll. Dunno what Italian beef is, but this does not have any Italian spices I see. Meat, plain roll, au jus. American cheese optional. Sloppy. Good. Eat at the counter, they won;t try to give you a paper plate. actual plates used.

[@blazejon]

@@EdKelly-yu6gp an Italian Beef is a very popular sandwich in originated in Chicago

@@blazejon Oh, i know they eat it there - I've seen it advertised when I was in Chicago - i just never ATE it. I've eaten at this place. it's just roast beef dripping with juice.

Au jus sandwiches are the absolute shit but I just don't get why you'd want them to dip it for you when you can just have a bowl on the side to dip into. Please don't turn my sandwich into a big soggy pile of shit that I can't even pick up after two bites I'll just dip the thing myself.
