Pro Tip: make sure when you are wrapping your subs to tuck the paper into the center of the sandwich so that when you unwrap it you can get the oil/mayo all over your hands and lap. This really helps recreate the true feel of getting a Wawa or Sheetz sub.

ok. You brought tears to my eyes with the wrapping portion.. I have been using all these "fast food" style extras at home for about 20 years.. wax wrapping a sub like that can be a game changer, I would host family get togethers, and would spend the event prepping/cooking/serving and do little details like that, and everyone would say "Oh come enjoy yourself" .. but when I serve food, everyone is silent, like they are trying the best food from the fanciest restaurant, brings me complete happiness when it all comes together!

We are Finnish and there are not many alternatives to Subway in Finland and we didn’t want to buy those soggy subs from the store so we just gathered up some money and I made us some breads. Now we have like 8 breads worth of subway but better and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for these hoagie-videos. ❤️

Buy boars head if you can its worth the extra money. Chop the lettuce tomatoes and onion together and add your favorite Italian dressing or make your own. Its a whole new world of flavor on a sub.

I made sandwiches for a living for a few years. One trick that will improve your construction is to not completely cut through the bread. Leave about a centimeter connected to act and a little hinge. Then you won’t have to worry about the tomatoes sliding around so much. Helps keeps the lubricants sealed up inside the sando too.

I would eat the same hotdog inside the cafe and it was just... bland. But get it takeout all wrapped up tight and it was phenomenal.

That and some homemade pickled onions and you can practically put anything on your sandwich and it will taste godly.

You stumbled on something else that's genius. The acid from the dressed lettuce works wonders for the cheese underneath it. It's a commonly overlooked detail, but cheese pairs very well with an acid, like what's in wine. By placing your dressed lettuce on top of your cheese, not only did you expertly complete the look of a deli sandwich, you also tied together those elements that push deli sandwiches over the top. The acid cuts through the creaminess of the cheese just enough to blend the flavors uniquely, and also lubricates the cheese as it softens so that it's not caky. You're absolutely right; the order of assembly matters.

@JimmyCrackorn
@JimmyCrackorn 2 жыл бұрын
@@MuhammadSohail-ln9dj Yes! Absolutely! You can even make some creative concoctions from malt vinegar and rice vinegar. I'm guessing there are particular ingredients in wines that you have an allergy or intolerance to, or maybe it's a matter of lingering alcohol content and you need vinegars that are known to fully ferment out all alcohol. For your dressings, chase the flavor profile of the vinegar, which fortunately is pretty wide even when they aren't derived from wine. I just realized that De Nigris is specifically wine derived, so I can't offer that as a recommendation. But you can blend your vinegars as well to create interesting flavor profiles and replace the types that you can't allow into your body. Give them a good shake, add to your seasoned oil, give it another good shake, and serve it up before it settles. Another good trick for brilliant vinaigrette is to flavor your oil by cooking chopped aromatics in them, then let it cool before bottling just the oil and throw the ingredients to the side for later use. Depending on your location, you might have access to some ingredients that'll give you quite a sharp edge in competition [like region specific peppers, onions, or carrots]. So, you can sort of hack your way to flavor profiles of vinegars that you otherwise wouldn't be able to consume - and invent some new ones.

@@MuhammadSohail-ln9dj you can also flavour your own vinegars.

And you can use a regular, simple white vinegar for this, it's actually an advantage if the vinegar itself doesn't have too distinctive a taste on its own.

In my experience working at Wawa the biggest thing is that they have super fast toaster ovens that can toast and melt your whole sub super quick. There are a few ways you could do that at home but you'd have to experiment with what works best for you. The other thing is wrapping again, super important especially for things like meatballs. Fresh bread and other ingredients are also important for both hot and cold subs.

A breakfast griddle is magical. Im a cook and I love my at home flat top haha, it's literally a Walmart griddle, you can toast and assemble a hot sandwich anywhere between 325°f and 350°f that will give you time to toast, melt the cheese directly on the bread, the hot meat that you cook on the open space of the griddle will also help melt the cheese. Then a cooking/grill hand press will act as a panini press, just set it on the sandwich. Just add butter or oil to the griddle, throw bread down, swish it around in the butter, add cheese and basically just assemble as per usual. You'll make an amazing grilled sandwich like a pro, it won't take long to get right, I promise.

Hey, love the channel. I've worked in a few NY deli's and I feel I need to add a couple tips. If you can avoid fully cutting the roll in half, it's easier to keep it together, but that's totally a preference. But a big one, lettuce on the bottom of the meats. Most times at a deli we don't have time to prepare lettuce with and without a vinaigrette, so you do, bottom bread, optional condiment, lettuces, vinaigrette/condiments directly over the lettuce. Then your meats. It let's the sauces coat the lettuce without specifically preparing a separate shredded lettuce. It also lets you keep your hands clean when applying the lettuce.

Growing up we always used big pieces of lettuce on subs and burgers. Shredded lettuce is a huge difference maker along with good bread.

Absolutely love these! I've always felt I could make the same food at home but never understood why it would end up disappointing me.. I knew part of it is that I don't use as much oil, and I've simply added more meat thinking it would taste better with the same disappointing results. FYI, I tried these tips but with cheap white bread and STILL tasted better than any sammich I've made with good bread. Subscribed!

America's Test Kitchen digs a little of the bread out of the center to create a trough to better contain and hold all the good stuff and reduce the amount of bread. They also put a cookie tray on top of the completed sandwich and put a heavy pot on top to press the sandwich. I also like to toast or bake your meat and cheese on the bread before adding the veggies.

Hey Ethan, could you look into making Pizza Fritta? It seems to be a common Neapolitan street food, and unlike its baked counterpart which requires a dedicated pizza oven, this one is deep fried. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much English content on it, but it would be cool if you could cover it!

I use a hoagie roll but I toasted a little in my confection oven so that it's crispy. Not toasted so it's not brown but it's crispy and that adds to the texture of the sandwich and when you hear yourself biting into something crispy that can affect taste also.

Since I work at the deli at my local grocery store, just for fun, I'm going to share how I make our giant subs. It serves 4-6 people depending on how hungry you are. Ingredients: -1 loaf of french bread (around 450g) -4 slices of provolone cheese -2 slices of medium cheddar cheese (Each cut diagonally into triangles making it 4 triangles of cheese) -4 thin slices of bologna -4 thin slices of jumbo summer sausage -2 thin slices of roast beef (Our roast beef tends to make large slices. Use more if your slices are smaller) -3 thin slices of cooked turkey -3 thin slices of black forest ham -4 lengthwise slices of dill pickle -1/8 of a large sliced up red onion -1/6 of a shredded head of iceberg lettuce -Yellow mustard -Mayonnaise (Ours comes in a squeeze bottle) Cut the loaf of french bread in half. Start at the bottom of the loaf with the mayonnaise, not just a straight line, squiggle it back and forth. Do the same with the mustard. Then lay down the four slices of provolone cheese. Then layer the bolonga, summer sausage, roast beef, turkey, and ham. No need to fold any of the meat, just lay it all flat as there's enough meat piled high as is. Then you add your slices of pickles, sliced rings of red onion, and a pile of ribbons of shredded lettuce. On the top of the loaf, add more mustard and mayonnaise, then the slices of cheddar cheese. Close the sandwich and wrap it. You can alter the order of ingredients to your liking, as the way we do it is with the idea that it could take a day or two for the sandwich to sell, so we don't want the sandwich to get soggy from the veggies, but we also want enough condiments on the bread so that it's also not too dry when it's eaten.

Advice from a sandwich artist: Another reason sandwiches from restaurants taste better is because they have extra stuff like salty ingredients and lots of sugar in the bread. Condiments like mayo works as a glue to keep the sandwich together as you eat it too. Things like lettuce, cheese and the meat should go on the outside layers to keep the bread from going soggy, and the wet ingredients go on the inside (it also helps the sandwich close properly). It may not be a problem if it is being eaten right away, but if it is eaten later it is a godsend to do it this way. Some people like to add a layer of butter/margarine for extra protection. Some people keep the wet ingredients and sauce separate until they are eating to keep the bread from going soggy. Personally, I hate soggy bread so if I was to include tomatoes they go inside the layers. It is also a good idea just in case you have someone who does not like tomatoes they can just be taken out of the sandwich. If it is on the outside layer then the whole sandwich is now contaminated and ruined. Shredding the lettuce seems to add something too. If you have small fiddly ingredients that always seem to fall out it can be helpful to put them on the first layer, but if you have shredded lettuce it may not be as much a problem. Taking a moment to fold or roll the meat before putting it on does add a extra touch. That much parchment may not be needed. I just have to laugh here when I realize that I have not professionally made a sandwich for a few years but I can still quickly and easily wrap one in my sleep.

@@thankyouverymuch I am glad that you feel that confident in your sandwiches. I too have challenged myself to make stuff better than what I am getting in restaurants and in a lot of ways I have succeeded. Making sandwiches from scratch, starting from the buns to the meat, is my next project. Yet, I have to point out that there are a lot of people, for one reason or another, who are not as confident in their cooking and in their ingredients as you are and would prefer what comes in a restaurant. Plus, there are a lot of places that will happily make a sandwich according to your wishes. I have to admit that I never really liked sandwiches until I had to make them at work and I realized how good they are when the bread is fresh and toasted. It also helped that at my old job I had tools and ingredients that is not available in a regular home and I was able to make myself some really good sandwiches and I got some really good compliments from my customers. Sadly, my old work stopped selling sandwiches and I really miss their special sandwiches they made.

Yours is the first recipe I’ve ever followed from a youtuber. My father and I both absolutely love it!! (We made the salami/pepperoni/black forest ham one) .. Made my first home made vinagrette and soaked the freshly chopped lettuce in a few drizzles of it.. That was key - but the next sandwich was even better after using the same lettuce the next day after it had been soaking up the sauce overnight. Tight wax paper wrap seemed to help too.

This video has taken my sandwiches to the next level. Seasoning the tomato slices with salt and pepper and not putting them in the middle of the sandwich is worth the price of admission alone. And wrapping the sandwich tightly is something no one thinks of when making a sandwich at home, because it’s not like you’re getting it packaged to-go, but it really does keep everything together and makes you feel like it was made by someone else. A++ video

pickled carrot peels make an awesome addition. I've always blended my sauce/fats with the herbs before spreading to help get a more even coverage of seasoning. A light application of sauce is also my go-to for keeping loose/shredded components from spilling out as easily.
