Chef's Night Out with Paulie Gee's

In this episode of Chef's Night Out, we hit up some truly classic New York establishments with Paul Giannone (a.k.a. Paulie Gee) of Paulie Gee's in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. You might have met Paulie while you were enjoying one of his superb pizzas, as he is known to travel from table to table, but now you get to see him outside of his restaurant and on the town with some of his close friends. The crew starts at Sam's Restaurant in Cobble Hill, where they order the famous baked clams and can't resist ordering a pizza, then head to Emilio's Ballato in Nolita for an array of classic Italian dishes, and cap it all of with a visit to Prince Street Pizza for The Soho Square-arguably one of the best squares in the city. In true Paulie fashion, the night ends with more pizza at Paulie Gee's. In Paulie's words, "this is the senior citizen version of Chef's Night Out."

Pizza, clams, pizza, pasta, pizza, pizza. Man, what a life.

[@MikaelH1]

A short one

[@malkezidec]

+secretxla right? I have spent 8k for food for 20 and it wasn't this much fun. L.A. is old news.

[@childybless]

I wanted to write a very similar comment

[@user-fx2hg7jl5h]

delicious life ahaha

[@Divine_R]

You forgot octopus

[@chefmike9945]

Love this episode. Who would of thought you could pull of Chef's Night Out without any alcohol? And yet they did. Props to Paulie G.

[@jodawgsup]

+chef mike There are tons of chef's night out w/out alcohol.

[@chefmike9945]

jodawgsup I'm pretty sure I've seen almost all of them. Which ones are you referring to?

[@chefmike9945]

jodawgsup Actually please name one other. Pretty sure there aren't any.

[@chrislw9053]

Gee rated or P. Gee. You pick. I loved the good clean fun as well

[@tommyov1]

[@superdan422]

Best chefs night out yet. Peace and love.

[@neuralvibes]

+Daniel Brown I absolutely agree... Usually, these episodes start with a bang and end with a whimper but this episode was quite the opposite, it only got better and better the longer it went. Nothing too extreme or attention seeking food-wise or behavior-wise, just a bunch of guys enjoying themselves with some really good food. Also, kudos to him for having the courage to change his career path, nothing worse than being stuck doing something you hate for the rest of your life.

[@acci2003]

These are the Chef's Night Out episodes that I love. Great wholesome food and people. Nothings pretentious and just using great ingredients and simple food.

[@swagific]

Best episode of chef's night out I've ever seen. Every single place they went to the environment looked really friendly and the food looked delicious.

[@jacobb978]

Prince street pizza is incredible, that square slice is next level.

[@afung89]

"Senior Citizen's version of Chef Night's Out" I'd hang out with this senior citizen any day. xD

[@unklemunky8992]

As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster...

[@ziggy31337]

+jim blim this dude apparently wasn't happy with his career in the mob, so he opened up a pizza place XD

[@AllenBoguslavsky]

[@barcelona12ist]

i don't know how many times i watched this episode of Munchies (besides Frank Pinello The Pizza Show) over and over again, and never get tired of it..watching this just makes me happy and feel good about life..appreciate it a lot, thank you very much

[@randomlyjme9]

Everything in this looked fabulous. Nobody trying to be pretentious. Just honest, good tasting food.

[@TacticalPlumber]

Love the munchies episodes with the old Italian guys of New York and Brooklyn. Proper old school cool dudes.

[@K1rkles]

This man is the reason I put honey on my pizza

[@senshai1267]

[@HappyFluegel]

+Sean McDonagh yes and the feds find them over instagram it seams

[@triller269]

[@nitinmohanty7525]

Forget about it!!!

[@telephonic]

Laid back great episode showing some classic old fashioned NYC Italian cuisine.

[@theodore738]

What a genuine group of guys

[@Slanderbot]

This is one of the best episodes imo. It's so humble and relaxed.

[@GamingTaylor]

I'm so glad to see some NORMAL restaurants with a moderately priced menu. No need for fancy crap

[@crystalwilliams7226]

GamingTaylor yes. Tired of those $25 plates that have two raviolis and a sprig of basil on top.

[@bobbybooey8158]

Crystal Williams the $25 plates r for the cunts

[@donchacon5225]

no beating around the bushes, no hipsters, no creepy hugs of guys when wasted, just good food and talk, this and the action bronson episodes are from far the best ones

[@47artisan]

so nice to see people who are there to eat,..

[@chris_hadj]

Paulie G is a Brooklyn legend

[@HarveySpectre1]

Martin Scorseses brother?

[@hereisthekhonch]

One of the best episodes of CNO. Dude is so easy going and likable. No pretentiousness, no obnoxious friends.

[@Wrecktoid]

this is the best of the Chef's Night out of your series, seriously

[@NatschoNotorious]

the clams look amazing. xo to all the foodies out there!

[@8bitDude0]

[@eighty9]

One of the best chef's night out.

[@vahidrvahidr]

I love Paul Gionnone! I was at his restaurant a month back and he was such an awesome guy. Really passionate. This is also perfect timing. I'm dropping an episode tonight on my channel for the top 5 best pizza in New york. Paulie's restaurant is in it!

[@RICHINCORAH]

Best chef's night out in ages! .

[@edwardssistershands]

One could definitely tell that this was a slice of Paulie's life.

[@ZakTheIllest]

we need more of this guy and he needs to do a show with best pizza!

[@echahly]

Great genuine people, great food, great episode! Chapeau Munchies

[@sohaminyoh]

Most episodes of chefs night out has genuine people because they're either people like this or they're drunk

[@justinbroom2531]

I feel both hungry and very full all at the same time watching that :) I want to come to New York just to go to Paulie Gee's... bit of a trek from the UK but I will make it there one day. Love your videos and your pizza looks amazing.

[@Fraudpod]

Now that is a group of people I wanna hang out with!

[@dalanium98]

even though he says it's the senior citizen edition of chef's night out, i know munchie's has filmed many CNO less entertaining than this one. they just have a great energy

[@pedrogarcia3975]

[@WatchTheBackground]

This was a really sweet down to earth kind of episode.

[@engladtur]

I love em too, and I love watching these shows with my mom. It reminds her of her child hood. makes her tear up

[@Vishwakdalastpunk]

Gangsta! Kwawfee

One of the better Munchies featuring some quality people. Action Bronson and Matty are also awesome. And that guy who went to Sweden.

[@CookieDevillicious]

Dude, this man loves his pizza a lot

[@onesimpletrick]

This is easily the best Chef's Night Out that Vice has ever done.

[@Aco0o]

[@keatonhanson]

Great episode. Love it.

[@danterosenberg7506]

"He'll be talking 'til the cows come home, then he'll be talking to the cows" he made the classic saying then made fun of it. that's some real modern New York shiii right there

[@kevinh3979]

Emilio's is great. My go to date spot and for when people come into town. Great homemade focaccia. Wine is good. But expensive AF.

[@BKizzle4]

I would love to hear Paulie Gee's take on which joint has the better upside down Sicilian slice: Prince Street or L&B?

[@pauliegee4903]

Did we go to L&B?

[@NikkiReal]

this is probably the most enjoyable munchies episode. just some basic grub, no frills and well, yeah.. no hipsters.. :))))

[@torskungen1]

This gang though, would have loved to hang out with them. Paulie Gee seems like a cool dude

[@AnthonyH1989]

Addicted to these clips

[@daedaetinez6406]

I feel like pually G’s is like Henry Hill introducing everybody at the table in Good Fellas! 🤌🏼 🇮🇹

[@krommern]

+maverickx1221 HAHA so true

[@telephonic]

Well said.

[@MalakianM2S]

Hipsters or not, there is always some whiner whining about them. Not sure what is more annoying.

[@ChubbyUrmas]

maverickx1221 Thank god you are really original with your opinions and avatar :) Way better person than any filthy hipster.

[@ebrahimhassan9758]

maverickx1221 frank of the pizza show is tattooed but he is good I think

[@bigeve223]

Dream Job: Make pizza at Paulie Gee's.

Pizza is life

“sanitation” is code for mafia lmao

[@LuisRodriguez-eg8yy]

Good episode

[@peterbrown954]

Martin Scorsese, Adam Richman and Nick Nolte in the back of the car.

[@Nooreissad]

they are adorable

[@USMCKong0311]

They were so full.

[@Daplug213]

I'm with the sanitation....hahahhaaa

[@paufg]

You guys should a Chef´s Day Out version instead. That way the guest doesn´t feel pressured to eat a lot of food in a couple of hours and they actually get to enjoy each meal. You´d have better quality footage for your viewers and you could visit a different restaurants with each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, even drinks).

[@flyinsaucer138]

love paulie

[@jurassicsushi]

I Miss my NY Pizza, especially from Long Island. Dammit Georgia get with the program already. Need to go visit and just go on an eating spree.

[@weed4daze420]

I feel you on that, I grew up in New Haven CT. Thus far the best pizza I had here is at Antico's in atl
