NYC Hot Dog King tries Korean Hot Dogs for the first time

[@phil_matic]

I love this. Lots of times when an older person is being introduced to new things, they are so set in their old ways that they aren't open to anything new, and already will talk down on it, saying their way is better. But this man is awesome, really enjoyed the whole experience and he definitely looks like a fan!

[@ThatHavardStudent]

This was so wholesome. Clearly a old man thats been through alot, the stories were so interesting i almost forgot the premise of thr video was about hotdogs

[@magicbuddha7243]

Very kind, very wise and very humble hot dog king. You are a true gem.

[@LbB-e8j]

he looks kinda arab prob in him.!

[@teresapang8001]

Love this gentleman. I totally agree. My father was a WWII, Korean, and Vietnam vet. He fought for this country. He and other vets deserve the respect.

[@MoulphiteMain]

This guy to me is the definition of an "old timer". Absolutely love it.

[@soyreeng8864]

That guy has honor and wisdom, we can learn alot from him

[@Zultzify]

that moral lesson that Mr. Rossi taught at 12:44 rings true, the beautiful part about the western world is that we can mesh and appreciate many different cultures without feeling offended. other cultures and cuisines are what made america, canada, europe, korea, japan and taiwan unique from the rest of the world. Even in this video, i learned about NY and korean cuisine and two people bond over human similarity.

[@nouvarae]

Thank you for introducing us to him, Mike! Now I know to go get my hotdogs from him when I’m in the neighborhood ❤

[@jan-michele3546]

I loved what he said. I have told my kids that for 40 yrs. "No one is better than anyone else in this world." And telling someone to go back to their country should never be said either because the only people in this country that is original to these lands are the Indigenous people and truthfully they are not Native to this land either, unless their ancesters lived here when the lands split from Africa and Australia and all the little islands in the Atlantic Ocean.

[@bufanpxl8r]

This guy is really special. He's one of the few remaining hotdog vendors that actually OWNS his vendors' license. And you can bet the eLiTeS are trying every dirty tactic to get him to sell.

[@CantoMando]

To keep his spot he chooses to sleep right outside the MET in his van- 360 days out of the year. As real as it gets.

[@asherbeal8357]

@@CantoMando😮😮😮

[@timmy-vb6nv]

what does that mean

[@Thundaarr]

@@timmy-vb6nv Seems to mean that there are lots of other corporate owned vendors that would gladly move in and deny him a spot in front of the met or any other premium locations if he gives it up for even a moment. And can afford to pay others to keep those spots 24/7.

[@michaelmunno]

legend. awesome, nice conversations. very cool "15 more years, when I'm 90, I might retire" lol, epic spirit.

[@nishanthaherath3108]

dude is eating with the old dude without even biting in IRL love you mat

[@koncreate8744]

cute af tho

[@ilai7893]

Man's a good dude seeing everyone and welcoming them well, not just hating folks for no reason. Hope NYC has more ppl like him

[@Jesusloveyoumyguy]

Please take him to Korean bbq he deserves everything for serving our country

[@itsalltakenup]

I don't know how Mike does it but he keeps finding all these amazing people to introduce to Asian food. Represent.

[@FirstLast-qw7gh]

God bless you for your service. Both to your country as a marine, and for your on going service as a man who seeks to simply do what is right.

[@luigilogan1]

GET THIS MAN 20 CARTS!

[@lukewenberg4271]

What a whole some video! More of these! I love when you guys express more Asian food to people who wont or hesitant to try it.

[@jtf267]

This man is something else. My grandpa loan 3 ledgers listings of the money to help people. When we came to this country with nothing later after the communist took over China... we ended up sleeping on the floor... 8 ppl in a 2 room apt. No one gave us a dollar back. Life sucks sometimes and some people are sucky... but life hoes on. He is a sweetie who still has a heart and a beautiful smile.

[@Tengokujin]

What Mr. Rossi doesn't realise is that Jongro is scaled up for a retail location in NYC; a street cart or stand in Korea would be approximately the size of his stands.

[@chowjoa]

The Stan Lee of hotdogs

[@CantoMando]

😂

[@cjkd7449]

12:45 WE NEED MORE LIKE MINDED PPL LIKE MR. ROSSI.

[@xshotnoob]

this man is a treasure !

[@Yourfuturewidow]

What a genuine, kind, heartfelt man!

[@latekgaming]

I wish my grandpa was as positive

[@collin8782]

Good friend, Good guy, Great stories. I would love to see more from him

[@woodchuck94og]

02:36 sauerkraut! First time seeing an American making a real hot dog, i understand why he's the king now

[@woodchuck94og]

And he dislikes ketchup real og

[@isspeedyy]

clicked on youtube and it said this was uploaded 1 second ago so i had to watch it lmao

[@yasminelee6759]

He's amazing and love him.... he tears me up! 😘

[@SuperFriendBFG]

Wow, what a guy. Glad to have met him with ya man. Very cool episode.

[@davidnguyen4885]

This guy is awesome you should have him on again 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@dylnfstr]

Aw dang I was hoping the origin would be similar to budae jjigae (army base stew) leftover stuff from American GIs after the Korean War.

[@asherbeal8357]

That’s what I always assumed.

[@el_chino778]

Great content Mike. Real stand-up guy and good outlook on life.

[@coord_inator1241]

I like these videos, always has cool and interesting facts!!

[@timmy-vb6nv]

[@mrTjstephens1]

I could listen to his stories all day. Truely a legend ❤

[@JenniferSmith-fo2zy]

What a good dude we need more like him everywhere

[@Soten_Bori]

That story with the beers, that hit a little something.

[@codyhand3469]

No 1 is better than anyone ❤ well said!

[@kaykay.wanders]

[@Tee-yn6ug]

[@stephanieblackburn2778]

Aww I love this man. Great episode

[@matthewjay660]

Ambassador Mike, bridging cultures, uniting people. 🇺🇸🤝🇨🇦

[@bokan1056]

Such a nice Person

[@Mister_Grey_]

Refusing unknown food is maybe refusing the best food you could ever get😉 I lived in 9 different countries i learned my lesson.

[@mkygod]

Korean corn dogs are a misnomer since they usually contain no corn. It uses rice flour which lacks the sweetness of corn and has more of a chew. The reason why Korean corn dogs have so many toppings, sauces, and variations is to make up for the lack of flavor.

[@HappyGothGal]

They're called hot dogs because old timey Americans were racist towards German immigrants and had a running joke that Germans ate dogs and that the weiners were made out of dog meat. But they thought it was tasty and went out with friends to get "Hot 'Dogs'" & it became a term of endearment.

[@brianthomas4276]

It's not racist, you'd say nationalist more so, maybe. And "old timey", really? You gotta say what century it was. And this is probably a lie anyways.

[@hihellokitty85]

0:24 Incorrect HIstory. It's 7th BC, not AD.

[@bennyhanaboy]

Is no one gonna bring up 0:46 Nathan’s chow mein? I need to see Joey chestnut house 50 plates of chow mein

[@rxlxviii]

Even though my friends call it them "dirty water dogs", I still like the hot dogs from street vendors, especially the hot sausages. However, the price of the hot sausages has increased dramatically in the past 5 years. The last time I bought a hot sausage, the vendor charged me $10 for it. I can buy a package of 6 hot sausages for about $7.

[@Kaehyung]

bro removed the "fake hotdog" thumbnail 💀

[@CantoMando]

how tf are y’all that quick??

[@MoltenHoniBun]

Hot dog man has insane lore

[@WordAte]

Us Americans: Ketchup doesn't belong on a hot dog. German: Das is not a hot dog. Das is curry wurst. Us Americans: No ketchup for my corn dog. Korean: This is not a corn dog. It is a Hot! Dog!

[@sergeyeo1806]

They don’t make em like that anymore. Legend

[@Syzygy77]

I grew up eating ketchup on hotdogs and corndogs, but as an adult it’s mustard only.

[@willjohnson8446]

Korean pronto pups, since they use flour instead of cornmeal.

[@mnorris790]

I believe wieners are from Austria, not Germany. From Vienna, you know, Vienna sausauge, Vienner, Wiener. Although that would have been the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time I guess.

[@9serge26]

it's ketchup, mayo, mustard, and relish on my dog

[@Gpho_gpho]

Take Mr. Rossi to KBBQ

[@kenichi407]

"if i put these out, i wouldn't sell any"... i guess he doesn't know these are super popular all over the world. i guess trapped in that cart in front of the met, you don't get much exposure to the outside.

[@mirojone]

yeah, the man was being fairly ignorant at the start especially if he is selling in front of the met, but you are being too. he'd probably make bank because it gets TONS of exposure to the outside world being the fifth most visited art museum in the world and the most visited in the states.

[@hum5351]

What a lovely man it’s a shame he’s gotta work so hard to keep his spot

[@eastonnguyen5346]

You cant teach old hotdogs new tricks

[@coffeedrinkingmonkey701]

I thought this was one of the Korean Englishman video until i saw the channel name

[@TheGeminista]

just how did this channel turn into a food channel

[@jonathanbranum8976]

I agree with the vet, grill those dogs, let'em cool, and then wrap'em up and deep fry them...xtra flavour for free...1st nations neighbour down the road makes banak often, its awesome, tho she makes banak dogs and she fries em B4 wrapping them in banak and frying'em up, soooo Fkn tasty...otherwise your left with the bland hotdog flavour like a raw glizzy nah ty...:)))

[@hardcopydk3001]

i have been in NY and in Catania Sicily and Italia wins by a long shot. (i am talking about pizza)

[@unknownentity8256]

I'd hate to live somewhere I'm in a hurry 24/7, and surviving in NY is easy compared to some places in the world..

[@sarahwong3113]

That is so incorrect that it was invented in South Korea in 1980s. I was born in 1967 and I moved to US in 1979 and I used to eat corn dogs on the street after school all the time.

[@fredisdabest_yayF191]

[@DiBast12]

Where first at the same time XD

[@leeankt]

That’s not quite an accurate history of budae jjigae, but great interview overall.

[@travisn93]

Can you ease up on using that sound effect that eerily gets viewers to anticipate a reaction? Lately it's been a bit of a turn-off...

[@brianchin4347]

Why not bring the Korean food cuisine to him at his spot, then?? :)

[@ronishirvani]

hello

[@SashaVibez]

Hmm I love sausages

[@rohanallaka2549]

I had Korean hot dog in sueoul and tbh it was not as great as I expected, maybe the guy gave me a shit one with no quality cause I’m a tourist but I would give it a 4/10

[@CodyCha]

Isn’t NY hotdog boiled?

[@christianhansen3292]

the grilled ones are the tastiest they are all different

[@ApocalypseSoldiers]

pasta is italian, pizza is american! tomatos are native to the US and were imported into Italy.

[@ServingCuntOverCountry]

Pizza is weird, it started as a cake for the clergy. It slowly turned into a savory, more modern style, food but with fish based sauce. Way more recently it evolved to tomatoes, but New York was the birthplace of the modern iteration.

[@hzzn]

What an excellent social experiment. Give over 300 carts to hundreds of ppl, to make loads of money for $5 a day, which is essentially free, but that's not good enough. People need it to be $0. Imagine the greed of people. i would absolutely never trust anyone. No good deed ever goes unpunished.
