I love how he explained his methods on the allergies. Cooking on a separate burner. Most dont cook on a separate burner.

[@timoaksproductions]

Definitely scored points with that for consumers. I'm allergic to sea fish meaning I can't salmon, COD,, but I can eat shrimp crab and lobster so going somewhere where the restaurant cares about allergens is important 💯🎯

To be fair, I'd give him a pass if he touched the raw food and just slightly touched the buns, but he full on aggressively palmed the buns down on the flat top with both soiled gloves. On top of that, he continues to use the same contaminated gloves for the rest of the video. Hahahahaha.

I walk past this spot every day and I've known the owner, Kai Campbell, for damn near 20 years, and I can't explain to you the lengths he goes to give Newark the food he gives. The food is BEYOND amazing. If you can go, GO. Yes, it's Newark but it's DOWNTOWN. Quite a bit of white folk now😊. Directly in back of JL across the street is a Whole Foods. Again, some of the best food you will ever have. The owner, Kai, needed this affirmation. Again, he cuts NO CORNERS with his food.

First, I'm so glad you're doing places in Jersey City and Newark. Jersey has some amazing food, but tends to be cast in the shadow of NYC. Also, your videos have a very "casual" style to them, while still having top notch production value. Good work!

[@robmalcolm8042]

I’m from nyc originally but been in NJ for 5 or so years and that’s straight facts. People take NJ for granted with food especially some of the natives they think NYC is everything I just went to Katz again today not since I was little. With the nyc tax 15 dollars for two little knishes that weren’t even that good tbh. This is something that’s probably 5 bucks in the store for a pack of frozen ones or a dollar or two at a hot dog stand. I feel like many places in nyc especially famous places fell off.
