Fun idea would be to have a subscriber showdown. Pick a specific dish and then have your subscribers submit their recipes and then pick a few to go head to head. Maybe you could do it over time and have several episodes almost like a bracket competition like March madness where it goes down and down until the two top contenders battle it out.

[@Maxwelllewis92]

Hey, David, I think your complaints regarding the meat thickness/texture could be fixed by slicing the meat across the grain, instead of along. Making the fibers as short as possible will make everything much more tender and have a more pleasant bite

[@cool_scatter]

Steak is already cut against the grain. In order to cut it across those fibers he'd have to put it on its narrow side and cut along the whole thing, which is pretty much impossible to do anywhere near well without a slicer.

[@Maxwelllewis92]

@@cool_scatter you can cut at a steep angle (so the blade is not at a right angle to the cutting board), or you can cut the steak into pieces and turn them 90 degrees. I normally just cut at a steep angle

I've made a similar vegan cheese recipe and roasting the veg makes it taste sooooo much better

[@machematix]

Changes for better: ROAST carrot and potato. LOTS more and FLAVORLESS oil (you're making cheese- it's not a health product). MSG. Tiny drop of LIQUID SMOKE. GOOD BLENDER and strain it. If you can, SODIUM CITRATE (for non-vegan cheese sauces and stuff too! Gives it a cheesy stretchy gooey texture, it's the key ingredient in American and nacho cheese). NOT TOO MUCH SPICES. People overdo it with the garlic powder and paprika in these vegan cheeses- you want it to taste like fat with savory notes, fairly mild but full of umami, otherwise it's just a weird oniony sauce not cheese sauce.

What was done here was disgusting. I can't find no good vegan cheese here in Germany and I think I rather have this vegan Philly cheesesteak without this "Vegan cheese".

[@VictoryNibbles]

They could have easily come up with something like that 'cheese sauce' that's vegan AND has many more properties of cheese, even without the industrial wizardry of Daiya or the like. You can make a stable emulsion with oil and aquafaba from chickpeas, which can lend itself to being much more like a cheese sauce with the right spices and such - as well as things like turmeric for color. It's basically vegannaise, but you can then add things to make it more like a cheese sauce from there. It's not Daiya, but at least it would have been trying.

[@realtooch]

I'm stunned. The ingredients that he laid out to bare; most of them come from meat. Worcestershire sauce...that comes from fish. Oils and other sauces he showed...also comes from meat. The fruit and veggies like lemons, green capsicums, carrots and onions require fertilizing which comes from animals in order to grow. Literally everything in that "vegan" recipe comes from animals. Vegetable stock broth...that comes from meat as well. It's an absolute joke that these clowns think they are eating something that has no animal product in it. I'm laughing in disbelief right now. "Vegans" my ass. They are eating more animal product than I am and I'm a burger man who eats meat regularly. Clowns.... I'm not joking...they are eating more meat than I could ever have. Christ almighty.

[@luminatrixfanfiction]

@@shreepriya4118 Worcestershire sauce was always going to be about having exact ingredients to create that Unami flavor. Vegans would argue that they have the same thing without "meat" but the sad reality is, you can't have that Unami flavor without the _real_ _ingredients_ . You don't need animal carcass to create fertile soil however my point stands. Fertile soil is made by organic components. Where do those nitrogen, phosphorous and other micronutrients that animals like cows, pigs and other mammals consume come from? Ants, beetles, and worms, to moles, rabbits, and groundhogs and many more. It's a never ending cycle of growth and consumption. The reality is, people fool themselves into thinking that they eat something without any source of animal product, and they are sadly mistaken. Chances are, their own lifestyle has them eating more animal product than they realize...even more than those folks who eat meat. Don't fool yourselves.

[@victuuri_6739]

@@luminatrixfanfiction Many vegans know a lot about how a huge variety of foods are grown and harvested. However, there are some things we cannot change.

So, if you ever need a decently awesome vegan cheese sauce (for cheesesteaks, nachos, mac n cheese, etc.) that you can make at home, here's my recipe: Ingredients: 2 medium russet potatoes 1 medium carrot 1 clove garlic ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp rosemary 3 tbsp nutritional yeast 1 tsp salt 1 ½ tsp Trader Joe’s Mushroom Umami Seasoning 1 ½ tsp Better Than Bouillon vegetable base (the one I use is the one available at Costco-the organic, reduced sodium variety-but I'm sure other varieties work fine too) 1 can (400mL, ~13.5oz) coconut milk (the fewer the additives, the better) ½ cup or less water (I use the water from boiling the potatoes and carrots. I figure the extra starch is probably helpful) Instructions: 1. Peel, cut, and boil the potatoes and carrots until soft. 2. Blend everything in a high powered blender (this makes a big difference) until ultra smooth, like Cheez Whiz. It may take a while, and you may need to stir or shake occasionally, but eventually you'll get there. If it's really not happening, you can add a little more water. Just be careful with that though, because you can always add more water, but you can't take any away, and it can get too thin pretty quickly. 3. Enjoy ;-)

Just as a major note about the mayo there with it, the mayo is extremely good at creating a moisture barrier between the bread and the meat juices there. I tend to prefer other cheesesteaks than the normal philly...mainly due to mall cheese steaks with the old Steak Escape and similar locations...basically take the normal Provolone version of the basic and add, at least, mushroom and green pepper to the onion when you sautee it, I add jalapenos and banana peppers as well. Then you add shredded iceberg lettuce and thin sliced tomato after it comes off the griddle plate. It's fun to watch people work it on the flat top while you wait.

I’m not a huge fan of cheese wiz, at least partially because it congeals too quickly but I grew very fond of it working in a cheesesteak shop in the mid 2000s. I’d do provolone as well and then a strip of the wiz across. Delicious.

Born and raised in philly. I have had cheesesteak for breakfast, toast bread then cook up your steak i add two eggs salt pepper make that into an omelet without the garlic powder.

A “media noche” is a hotdog bun here in Mexico, so.. you were correct

[@andrianapap1740]

I really appreciate you including a vegan recipe🥺❤️❤️❤️ great vid🥳 you deserve so much more attention👏🏽👏🏽

I had a cheesesteak for the first time like last year. (Jersey Mike's, probably best one you can get from a chain outside Pennsylvania.) would have probably had one sooner but I got a condition that forced me to avoid dairy for the better part of 15 years until I FINALLY found something that lets me have cheese again. So the first thing is: you wouldn't think American cheese would be the best option on it. But it is. American cheese has that weird tang to it that's that chemical salt that makes it more melty (sodium citrate? Is that the one?) And it absolutely clashes in most traditional cheese-based applications. But beef grease seems to compliment it perfectly. It just wouldn't taste right with a "fancier" cheese. It's also all too easy to ruin a cheesesteak, as I have learned. I attempted to order a cheesesteak from a bar at one point and it was the worst. You need a chewy sub roll like with most good sub sandwiches, and a bad bread texture will absolutely ruin it. And jack or colby or any other "better" cheese doesn't make it better. Finally, having been nearly dairy-free for 15 years... there is no good vegan cheese. I tried every single one of them I could get my hands on (well, mostly... I never got around to trying the raw cashew substitute because that was a level of work I simply could not justify doing) and they all fell short. This might be because I'm ~slightly sensitive to nuts (I didn't have a good milk substitute until Oatly came to the US) but the others always had AN issue to them. Daiya got the CLOSEST to something actually palatable but in the end it has the same issue as diet sodas: i just do not like and cannot get used to the aftertaste. That said... daiya would have probably been better than whatever that puree was trying to be.

Media noche is a potato bread... And I've had one of those for breakfast around 6:30 am

[@RhiannonSmudge]

Pescatarian here! I'm happy you're starting to touch upon vegetarian and vegan recipes since there's not always a lot of non-meat recipes or options out there Though that vegan philly cheesesteak sandwich did not stand a chance in my opinion, but maybe I'm just biased since I hate vegan cheese

[@lauramaple3813]

David, I just want to say I think I'm about the same age as you and appreciate all of your zillenial references like spongebob :) Edit: I'm not vegan or vegetarian but you gotta try Lauren Toyota and Hot for Food recipes!!

[@sxgarcloudies6828]

Yaas whoknew I'd log into youtube at the perfect moment

[@steveloge8119]

We don't use mayo for our steaks here in philly. It's usually toasted face down with oil on the grilltop next to the meat and onions

[@Swannilization]

Everyone underestimates the Cheez Whiz, but it is absolutely magical!

[@alejandraroca92]

It’d be cool to see you do some South American dishes. Peruvian ceviche would be new and interesting!

[@jazzedaboutcheese]

Peruvian Ceviche is one of the best, but I'm half Peruvian so I'm biased 🤣

[@tinytelephones]

That Korean style cheesesteak looks so freakin' good and is right up my alley.

[@jjj7383h]

i made natasha’s recipe and it was sooo good. can’t imagine what the rest are like

[@Yukiwodashite]

I understand if people don't care for the yellow cheese sauce, but the yellow cheese sauce is in fact the traditional Philly cheese steak topping. I have visited Philly many times over the years, and while there are other options at some locations, almost all places have a big vat of sauce ready to go. I think there is only one major Philly spot that doesn't if i recall correctly. Personally I'd recommend giving it a try before you turn your nose up at it, may not look as nice but it really changes the whole flavor profile of the sandwich.

Your knife skills have gotten so much better

[@alanacoletavares]

I had to wait an hour to watch this video until I finished stuffing my face and am now too full to be hungry while watching, works every time!

[@maxinecrossfire2514]

Thank you Jesus. I needed David today.

[@jzakibe]

Cashews help to make a delicious cheese sauce. Or Miyoko’s makes a roadhouse pub cheese that if you warm and thin with a little non dairy milk and spices when appropriate is delicious.

[@Rikimian]

Do some Wolfgang puck recipes

[@Lightpowder]

It's almost 4am and now I'm hungry. Thanks...

[@bubbakatz1731]

“I don’t care what time of the day… I know you want to take a bite. If you don’t your either a vegetarian or your lying” … oooooooorrrrr you live in philly… lol. To be honest - The bread across the board is just not going to give you that last touch. That crisp outside and the fluffy inside. Check out some philly bakeries that supply for the large chains. I promise you, that’s what you need to hit these dead on. It’s why other towns struggle to recreate. Keep it up, love the videos!

[@steffisilveira770]

So glad you added Natasha to your list. Her recepies are all so convenient n easy. Pls include Laura in the Kitchen as well

[@prccap]

the biggest issue here is that the last two may be cheese steaks, but they are not Phillys and therefore shouldn't be in this comp

[@NatashaGraves555]

Omg all those look freaking delicious!!!!!!

[@zee8405]

Awww I use peeps because of Jeana and Jesse too! Peace on the streets saaaan! 😊❤️

[@ChantalRussell]

Try Tabitha Brown’s Vegan Mac n Cheese. It’s freaking rocks.
