South Philly’s Backyard Cheesesteak King

[@jacobdoesphilly]

I apologize - KZbin cut out the audio in two spots because of copyrighted music. I have learned my lesson and future vids will not have this issue. Thank you for watching!

[@porkrind]

No idea how this ended up in my feed, but maybe I need to book a trip to Philly soon.

[@williamfieldsjr4144]

lol i said the exact same thing 2025 lord willing

[@LbB-e8j]

@@williamfieldsjr4144 I cant rate no cheesesteak high when it look like wet tuna salad! dont chop the cheese everywhere it looks nasty just leave it on the top! that way the steak sears more!

[@chriscanzanese5063]

Don’t do it, it’s not worth it.

[@mattsmith6071]

Should have been booked that trip for the food.

[@Mattyp-1610]

Yooooo! I’m next door in Jersey. No clue how I ended up on this video but I’m glad I did! I’ll be trying to place an order next weekend to give it a try and support a good dude doing a cool ass thing! Thanks !

[@atflores85]

11:15 In my opinion what separates a good cheesesteak and an elite one is the roll. And this looks Elite! Well done sir.

[@dougmorgan1587]

That is a good looking roll. Not easy to do. Good job, Sal.

[@thehammer4625]

The best part of this video is when Sal said “the best cheesesteak is one made at home”. Get a beef knuckle and slice it thin, sauté it in a pan with onions. I like mushrooms.

[@dadofmma]

This inspires me to do what I've been talking about which is starting a business where I cook out of my house, then do pick up or delivery. Create my own LLC, then make a menu with a few selections of food, get a credit card reader, become legalized as a credible business to take credit cards, and wham bam Market on social media and I'm good to go. No restaurant or location needed, and Ive been practicing cooking for 14 years now, shit I love cooking soo much I transitioned my career to cooking, as that's my full-time job now of days.

[@raj2tennis]

I knew this was going to be good when you showed him cooking from his backyard. That is what we use to do when I lived in Philly. Since he worked at Ralph's. I know this young man can cook. I was eating at Ralph's long before he was born.

[@jam1ga]

That bread is a work of art. Well done, sir

[@Widderic]

It's ALL about the bread. I need to come visit this guys back yard. I'm a stones throw from Philly.

[@thisis_eli]

ah love that the youtube algo still pushes great videos like this

[@Hombre_Astuto]

I never knew texture was so important while eating until I met my wife. It’s not always all about taste. This looks like it has both. Texture of bread with crusty outside and soft inside. Meat tender with creamy soft cooper sharp

[@maliaw8392]

And for someone who makes all my family’s breads, buns, rolls, English muffins? Would love your bread recipe! Beautiful bread!❤

[@patrickkoop6927]

Someone please introduce this man to garlic and sharp provolone!! Also that bread is so beautiful it hurt my soul to see it get scraped out haha

[@ripjanetstrimel3312]

First off thank you for making this video ! I’m in Philly I would have never knew …this cheese steak looks amazing the rolls the steak the cheese man I gotta try this ! Great video !

[@zaynmiles007]

When he gutted the bread as you said it was “ridiculously good bread” I died inside man. Don’t gut that good bread dawg😭😭😭

[@user-wo7dl6tb2q]

@zaynmiles007 me too! I also wonder what he does with the “scraps”? If I were him I’d fill up bags and sell them! Or donate them to food shelter or give away to Families in the community. I’d grub on those pieces as I dip them in some runny eggs in the morning or throw them in my soup!

[@bossherbbronson9939]

They burnt that bread

[@bossherbbronson9939]

Overcooked the meat

[@powerness3151]

The ingredients and the preparation is what makes a great cheese steak He’s making the bread that’s huge Then he’s buying quality meat Then the cooper sharp Loving to do all of that is the love part

[@domeskeetz]

Respect to this dude but what the hell is up with those onions. They need to be bigger and cooked more!

[@matthuss1914]

The bread looks killer! I’m going to have to try this.

[@ratpuffshow7650]

If I were walking into a room full of cheesesteaks, sals is the 1 all the other cheesesteaks are running their mouths on cause they all know that cheesesteak is a bad bitch! Keep it up boys!

[@matthewyaron5827]

Looking good! Can't wait to get on list!!

[@emtread62]

I’m back door to Center city right over the Walt Whitman Bridge, is that local to South Philly area cause I am not familiar.

[@angelocampanella4357]

These look awesome..that's the way to make them let them sit and move meat around w/o chopping...do u slice the rib eye yourself also?

[@jameswoods1354]

That cheesesteak looks scrumptious 😋!!!!!!!!........ I love the bread on both cheesesteak and hoagie.

[@raj2tennis]

The tune on this is fantastic!

[@papadre70]

I'm from Philly 72nd and Ogontz ave and I never seen a Cheesesteak that looks so tasty. Do your think Sal

[@sk8ingfilms1]

Glad i found this channel reminds me of jljupiter good work

[@JacquiSimons]

Need one of these now!

[@TheOriginalArchie]

100% this guy knows Eddie Alvarez.

[@harpomeehan3472]

No matter what kind of sandwich the BREAD is what makes it & that Roll looks and sounds awesome! P.S. Sal you could be Ricky Fowlers twin 😉. Nice job 👍👏

[@philly7452]

Good thing, great job, but my concern is about cross contamination. Is he changing gloves?cause he touched the meat then the onions with out changing gloves and touched the bread

[@timallison8560]

i might be a few weeks late to this video but that doesn't mean it can't win the internet today for me. it does.

[@ChrisSMurphy1]

This guy is the King

[@brkjeff5770]

Looks amazing! I'm from McClellan st. I'd ask not to mix my cheese or gut my bread(looks too good to waste). I prefer to leave the cheese on top after steaming then slice my roll and place it on top of the cheese. Let the roll sit and soften a bit. Then take the long spatula to scoop & flip onto the roll. Nevertheless, this is a true authentic cheese steak. Much success to the bul. Shout to The P! Subscribed!!!

[@large42]

Cooper Sharp is American Cheese only it's slightly sharper and slightly higher in fat(cream). It's great added to Mac and Cheese too.

[@meekraul215philly]

Hold on there buddy. I love me some mayo on cheessteaks and that’s a stable in Philadelphia. I understand you don’t like mayo but if the customers do then you do your job for the consumer. Salt pepper ketchup extra mayo fried onions on top.

[@dau1024]

put your own mayo

[@meekraul215philly]

@ no I’m not I like it made that way. The customer is always right. It’s not about what they like for me

[@kvnmcn]

Mayo is only allowed on cheesesteak hoagie. Not a regular cheesesteak. Just ketchup. These are the rules.

[@hometown215]

My griddle and smoker are my favorite.

[@markbrophy554]

The bread is the key to any sandwich.....that's spot on!!!

[@spankbuda3769]

Yes! The only difference between each basic cheese steak besides the condiments is the choice cut meat and the roll. Cheese Steaks are over rated in my opinion! If Cheese Steaks were exclusive there wouldn't be so many people making them all around in Philly.

[@marshyd5357]

Bread looks amazing, just open a hoagie roll bakery already.

[@kevinwheeler1631]

That cheesesteak looks 🔥

[@chrismaker-4857]

This is fucking electric😂looks absolutely spectacular

[@Zig_Was_Here]

This was absolutely beautiful bros

[@jdsgmeg]

Getting on the list for one of these bad boys as soon as possible.

[@SlipperyMooseCakes]

I could tell right away by the bread that shit was going to slap

[@proudamerican1278]

Great job brother🇺🇸💪🏻🇮🇹 Good luck wit the biz!

[@jacobdoesphilly]

Sal is a legend!

[@michaelgiovanetti7454]

How many ounces of ribeye are you putting on each steak?

[@daveg9000]

I didn't like his technique with the onions on top of the uncooked meat and messing everything up after the cheese was steamed and melted. The bread looks serious. I like that he's using Cooper Sharp.

[@gonzarooo9094]

Great Job 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍 keep up the great work

[@ortizw040505]

It does look good...got to give the props

[@ChristianHowell]

I would only suggest cookign onions separately... You can fridge them for at least 2 days... Super soft onions make the cheese steaks...

[@randymathews3348]

No! I hate shops that do that. The meat must marry w the onions, it doesn't taste the same doing them separately.

[@ChristianHowell]

@@randymathews3348 Maybe I should have said prep... Then you can put them in a container for the grill... Any Philly cheese steak shop will have a pile of cooked onions on the grill.. That way since the steak cooks so fast you're just heating the onions back up... WHEN YOU MIX THEM INTO THE MEAT...

[@randymathews3348]

@@ChristianHowell no! And I'm pretty sure you don't reside here. No good steak shop has pre cooked onions. Raw steak, raw onions is what that man was smelling

[@MrKernkraft4000]

No idea how this ended up on my algo recs, but that crunch was insane.

[@Jadedhighlights]

Cooper cheese 🔥🔥🔥

[@charliem4867]

This is very similar to Matu in Beverly Hills. The bread and cheese is near identical, no way it’s coincidence. Wonder who got the idea from the other 😎

[@AlexLopez-rx8lw]

Always get a cheesesteak before i go to a flyers game.

[@HellmansKitchen]

Looks a bomb spot!

[@jacobdoesphilly]

It’s so good!!!!

[@lhvent]

Really Nice video. We don't have these in the Maryland DC area.

[@timothyflemingphotography]

Love the video. Only recommendation as a photographer/videographer if your open to a critique. Turn on Image Stabilization on your camera if you have it or when do some "warp stabilization" in Adobe Premiere. Your handheld clips are good but the bounce shake very distracting.

[@jacobdoesphilly]

I bought a gimbal which I’m gonna use in my next vids! Thank you!

[@SomeCallMeTim47]

I'd drive from Pottsville for one!

[@maliaw8392]

You put Whiz on a steak sandwich and now it just tastes like plastic salt. You want the bread, the meat, the onions, the char…little S&P and that’s an amazing sandwich!❤🎉

[@MySneakersFendi]

I was gonna go here until 4:36-4:40. Customers can’t even get mayo on a cheesesteak. I’ll pass and just keep going to corner stores. This guy weird I’m not finishing this vid

[@chrismaker-4857]

Big back ah

That grill wasnt hot enough. Not near enough.

[@kassandramurillo-hernandez3966]

I fucks with it but you gotta let people customize theyre steaks!

[@stabenheimer]

onions go in the trash.

[@davidl1185]

Tell buddy to use tongs to grab the raw meat to avoid cross contamination. otherwise it looks amazing!

[@user-wo7dl6tb2q]

Looks Great but, what does he do with the scraps of gutted bread? If I were him I’d fill up bags and sell them! Or donate them to food shelter or give away to Families in the community. I’d grub on those pieces as I dip them in some runny eggs in the morning or throw them in my soup!

@ uh oh. Somebody's big mad. Did I hurt your feelings?

[@CD-xn1su]

Must try I’m at 12 n Watkins

[@mountainman5292]

As a backyard cheesesteak chef myself, my only advice is to spread a thin layer of mayo on that sub roll and sprinkle a generous amount of black pepper on the mayo. Then wrap up that beautiful "sangwich" in paper or foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

Who likes raw onions on a cheesesteak? They can't cook if they're on top of the raw beef. SMH

[@tarasnyder3470]

U chopped the cheese up in the steak nooooooooooo👎🏽

[@ortizw040505]

That's the difference between you who are not a real food critic and a real food critic. Is it going to be reviewing a Philly cheesesteak it's called a roll and not bread
