How To Make Real New York Deli Coleslaw

[@SipandFeast]

We did a whole podcast on NY Delis that you might like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHavnnSFr6aWd6M. And here is the NY deli macaroni and potato salad video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnXclKdsgrWihtk. The print recipe is located right in the description. As always, thanks for watching and liking our videos.

New Yorkers can cook? This is news to me. What the hell is going on here?

[@olegbb]

@@PetraKannLOL. He has many recipes and they’re all awesome. I’ve made many of them!

[@olegbb]

Aside from your awesome recipes which I make, I’ll be visiting Manhattan soon. Can you (or anyone) recommend a red sauce joint that wont break the bank? Arthur & Sons looks great, but it’s out of my budget. Thanks!

[@dee_dee_place]

@@olegbb The very 1st recipe I made from Jim was chicken parmesan. It was the very first time the breading stayed on & it cooked perfectly. I'm absolutely in love with his stuffed peppers & linguine & clam sauce, & his mushroom barley soup just filled my heart with memories; it's exactly the way my Momma made it. She passed away without leaving anyone the recipe so I hadn't eaten it in 24 years. I cried & smiled while scoffing down the whole pot of soup.

be cuz there carot involved .... you can put a 3rd cup of carrot juice in a tomato soup cambells and you wont tast it .... also carrot + brocoli + teriyaki iz amazing dont add onion to that

Tara & Jim- Thank you for all the NY deli side recipes. I can't get any decent sides here on the west coast, & no one makes the cucumber dill salad. I'm in foodie heaven. Yippee! Now that we are in the throws of summer, if you guys can show some more of your wonderful cold salads it would be much appreciated. Between the smoke from the fires & the high 90s to low 100s temperatures my appetite is waning. A cold salad would be perfect. Thanks again, you guys. Take care & be well.

[@dasninjastix]

I made your potato and macaroni salads for the 4th of July and they were a huge hit. A gave some Northeasterners their Ratatouille moment. I'll definitely give this one a whirl as well. Oh and I absolutely concur about the mayo, every deli I ever frequented on Long Island used Hellmann's. Every once and awhile you'd have a friend who belonged to a Miracle Whip home and was subsequently shamed and disparaged accordingly. (edit) You should also add Chinese Takeout to great food institutions of the New York area. Trying to get half-decent Chinese food in the South is as difficult as good pizza or bagels.

[@dee_dee_place]

I know what you mean about Chinese food. I lived in South Florida & the Chinese food there was as good as in NYC but here in the Pacific Northwest- egad. I've taken to making my own Chinese food. I've yet to be bold enough to make egg rolls or wontons but I can make some mean entrees. Check KZbin & you'll find some great Asian recipes.

[@ramencurry6672]

This is a great tasting recipe. I'm from Australia, and have zero clue what NY deli coleslaw should taste like, but as far as great coleslaws go, I'm thoroughly convinced that the brining technique is gold!

[@ThatsaTechnicalFoul]

As an 80s kid, cole slaw was just EVERYWHERE! I could always take it or leave it but I’m taking notes on this video cuz my wife simply loves the stuff. I’ll cook anything for her. I love the variety of dishes/side dishes taught on this channel! I love that it’s not all entrées.

[@barbeonline351]

I have spent several years trying the coleslaw all around my area--grocery delis, chicken joints, etc. Everything creamy.....with cabbage that fights back. Nothing like the coleslaw I knew in my youth. When I saw this and the brine step I knew the quest was over. And I could make it myself. About to consume the last of my first batch.....many thanks. Solid winner in my book.

Hands down the best coleslaw recipe on YT! It makes so much sense to brine that cabbage to get rid of the extra water in the cabbage!

[@cathywithac]

This recipe is fantastic.

[@rustybearden1800]

love your channel and everything about it........... 1) I know this is the authentic recipe but I would use half the sugar 2) I leave the core in the cabbage and quarter it , then slice or mandoline as usual until you get to the rough, thick base near the core - switch it up until you get to the core and discard. This saves a step and the cabbage doesn't fall apart when you get to the end (I do this with onions as well) I learned this from years of prep work 3) I'm a southern boy and Dukes is definitely my favorite but every cook has to be considerate of regional authenticity - Hellman's is the standard mayo north of Baltimore - then proceed accordingly - every recipe needs a baseline to operate from - I was taught to learn the original and riff as you like - your instructions are precise and simple to follow LOVE YOUR CHANNEL and everything you do to promote this style of regional cooking - THANK YOU!

[@4speed3pedals]

I like some diced green pepper in my coleslaw. It gives color contrast for look appeal and adds flavor. Most coleslaw that I have tried have way too much mayo regardless of the brand. I do not like coleslaw mayo soup. My mom was Polish and she made a fantastic coleslaw. Thank you for posting all your recipes and yes, I would like to see your cucumber salad made with recipe.

even though the brine isn't my personal preference, i can appreciate the intention to show people how to get the authentic deli taste. i'm sure there's a lot of people who will get major nostalgia when it tastes just so. for my husband it's taylor ham, egg and cheese on a bagel. sadly you can't get anything that tastes even similar to taylor ham in europe. but i did learn how to make bagels that give him the back at home feels, we've never found any store bought or from a bakery in europe that will pass the taste test.
