The Judge’s FRIED Salami GRILLED CHEESE

[@GoMathewVideo]

"if you have a few recipes you are good at, a few to lean on and you are generous enough to share them you may have an impact on someone that lasts forever." This is exactly what I hope to achieve some day! Food deserves to be shared and passed on in my mind.

[@nicolapowell7730]

It's so beautifully put!

[@MrOz3lot]

@GoMathewVideo you know where thats quote from?

[@GoMathewVideo]

​@@MrOz3lotif you are saying that this quote was taken from some place other than this video I am not sure. This was the quote from the end of this video @ 4:26

[@BeerStens]

I really like this lads enthusiasm, it inspires and food is a positive flow of creative energy. Get in that kitchen folks and spread the love.

[@sweetyface4672]

And he is so DAMN HANDSOME 😂

[@stevenwilson5556]

I absolutely love how you talked about context and how this wonderful woman who barely ever made you any food had a huge impact on you with just one simple sandwich. Food does not need to be complex to change a life

[@kaiju_k5042]

The intro story about this sandwich was so sweet, thank you for sharing that!

[@2798-o2d]

I love this channel. I'm from LI and my father is 100% Italian, but my mother is Irish and English. So while there was plenty of Italian food in the house, because my mother is an adventurous cook and we live on LI, it wasn't exactly like Nonna made if you feel me. Watching this channel (and a few others) I have learned all the tips and tricks that elevates Italian food and shared it with my family. Now when I visit home, my mother and I cook together and she learns something from me! It's a great bonding experience that has made me feel closer to my family. No better feeling than when I made a bolognese for the first time and my father said it reminded him of Sundays when he was a kid.

[@paulwagner688]

Memories of my dad. He used to make something like this for his lunch. Sometimes fried, sometimes cold. But I'd have something too and just pause and maybe talk a bit. RIP Dad. Thanks, Stephen for reminding me of some good times.

[@kaiju_k5042]

Aww so sweet, hugs.

[@davidserlin8097]

You expressed beautifully the nostalgia one can have for a dish that might not have won any awards but which you hold close to your heart. My late aunt was not a great cook, but she used to fry Hebrew National salami in the pan with a splash of olive oil, get them crispy, and then pour three beaten eggs into the pan and watch them get fluffy. It was the best scrambled eggs and salami I’ve ever had, and I still think about them all the time.

[@SmokedReb]

I love the context behind this recipe and video. Cooking and food can be such a wonderful memory. It definitely takes me back to a simpler place in my life.

[@doctajuice]

Definitely want more stories like this. I have quite a few dishes that hold a special place in my heart for similar reasons. Food really is a beautiful thing

[@lgarner7581]

Nice homily at the end, encouraging everyone to share with each other and impact for positivity. Grazie! Oh yes, I'm going to try this sandwich, too!

[@gavinmazza9869]

Man beautiful words at the end. Always inspiring and showing us the meaning of cooking

[@theodoreboosalis]

Have a great trip Steve!!!! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

[@Merv-Bob]

Short & Sweet, from the heart, maybe the best.

[@strangebru50]

Food that brings back a memory, great concept! Still can taste certain foods eaten years ago. Thanks for your easy to follow videos!

[@strangebru50]

Thanks for the response! I enjoy recreating some of your recipes and get compliments from family & friends with the outcome, "keep on keepin on!" Bruno from Chitown@_NotAnotherCookingShow

[@slims5795]

My best friend in school in the 4th grade lived up the block. Her mom made the best grilled cheese in a cast iron skillet. I’m 44 now & that always remains with me 💛. I will be trying this. Thank you 😊

[@christianpiccioni7120]

This was a classic growing up in my Italian American household. My mom used to make fried salami and egg sandwiches. I can taste and smell it through the screen.

[@katescuisine5]

Loved the chat about food and nostalgia and how anyone can blow you out of the water with one simple recipe.

[@UltimateDelivery]

This video is one of your best yet! Love your philosophy on food!

[@EmveeEss]

Hey bud, Great message at the end of the video. You don't need to be the world's greatest cook, just care about what you're doing and share it with the ones you love. Beautiful message.

[@RobinBaich]

My husband always says the simple dishes are the best. This grilled cheese certainly proves him right.

[@christophercampbell1677]

Awesome can't wait to try. Thanks from Cleveland

[@PWCDN]

spicy genoa salami sliced thin is the greatest thing ever, on its own, on pizza, sandwiches, cooked, or uncooked. beautiful. I don't even eat pepperoni anymore because of it.

[@yd4723]

“You may have an impact on someone’s that last forever” Well said

You’re an incredible storyteller

[@rbiv5]

Thank looks great, Stephen.

So glad you fell in Love with Cooking all over again! ❤ Be Safe in Italy, can not wait to see your content from there too. Vai a nutrirti Mangia bene

[@JaoOoooH]

This looks so delicious, yet simple! 👍👍

[@soavemusica]

God bless you, a great sandwich, a great story. I never thought of frying the salami.

[@dannydangelo762]

Love his channel, his videos are awesome. 👍😎🍷

[@kylemain4314]

Thank you. Great food is made even better when seasoned with memories of youth!

[@diyprogram]

Cold salami and plain bread is instant nostalgia trip for me.

[@davidserlin8097]

A cold baloney sandwich on white bread (maybe with a slice of American cheese) will instantly transport me to fourth grade 😂

[@mrfoXplays]

Killer closing on the beauty of sharing food. The sandwich is begging for an occasional dip in a balsamic vinegar or glaze, can't wait to try!

[@davidserlin8097]

Yes! Although I was also thinking of a shot of Tabasco, or even a sun-dried tomato. But who are we kidding? This is probably perfect as is 😂

[@brainwashingdetergent4322]

Bro! That cheese pull was sick!

[@joshuaherner7315]

This is the first vidis seennof yours I've seen , but holy swiss melts ... imma hang around after the suggestion. Ciao my friend!

[@eswillie]

My thing in Jersey from the morning food truck was Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese, butter, salt, pepper and ketchup. But this is something special and different. Thanks for this one, and I have Taylor Ham and also Genoa Salami in the fridge or freezer.

[@_Nephaelim]

Oh man, this sounds amazing. Can't wait to try it... dood!

[@whiskeychicken]

Awesome story and message behind the dish. I can't wait to make it.

[@CBD7069..]

Your face and eyes during that cheese pull 👌

[@monicalynn7187]

Pepperoni and Cooper Sharp on Italian bread. My fav!

[@Nosceteipsum166]

We have this classic where I live. It's basically a fried mortadella and cheese sandwich. The thing is: it's an OBSCENE amount of mortadella. We build like 5~10 slices of mortadella, then a few slices of cheese in the middle, and then 5~10 more slices on the top. Fry everything and when the cheese is melted and the mortadella super fried, put it inside a very crispy baguette. It's crazy good, but you can die at anytime eating it lol.

[@JamesMiller69]

Eating some Boar's Head Genoa Salami right now, goated cold cut. Love the message at the end, couldn't ring any more true, great vid!

[@Qsurvivorfan]

This sandwich is my childhood. My dad would always have Genoa salami and American cheese in the house and I’d make it on weekends. I can always go for this sandwich, breakfast lunch dinner or snack

[@jimmiemeeks9795]

U dang right appreciate ya brother 😊

[@daveswensen9627]

Love your attitude!!

[@jacquelinemassinello3451]

I always made this. !!!!! It’s delish !!!! Love your recipes ❤️

[@donkon1718]

Youre the only youtube creator that gets a like on literally every single video. Youre stuff is great!

[@Snnnnap]

This looks amazing. My dude, use provolone instead and add some italian seasoning. Amazing. I make something similar to this often to try to replicate a small shop I used to get a similar sandwich from.

[@DrinkinItIn]

Amazing story.

[@rodneypratt4324]

Wonderful story and of course enjoy Italia

[@twoshady518]

I used to make this as well. didn't learn from anyone. just seemed like a tasty idea

[@KSGomez88]

That cheese pull 🤤🤤🤤

[@naomieutsey2745]

This was definitely an after school snack growing up in the 80’s but we had Wonder Bread 😅

[@nan2157]

Looks delicious 😊

[@anthonyi6572]

I loved making this sandwich.

[@NebLleb]

...As a lover of Salami and dry sausage charcuterie in general, I have to say that FRYING the salami is a genuine game changer.

[@presbreezeable]

Bro! Congrats on the nutribullet commercial! Just saw it tonight! Badass!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

That looks so cheesy and good! 🧀🧀🧀🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@KennyCz87]

This looks great!

[@EdGrain]

Toasties!… Albertan here, who’s neighbour is Irish. She pumps us full Irish coffees and toasties (open faced cheese melts, usually tomato, or whatever the fridge has..lol. So I hang with her family and neighbours.. she serves everyone. Usually happens around 2 or 4 am

[@linatheodo6753]

Re-creating a sandwich from childhood 😊😊😊lovveeed it

[@johnnyblaze1098]

RESPECT to this man for callin it Taylor Ham and not Pork Roll. Thank you.

[@nmnmnmp4503]

I would like to see more recepies like that, there are to many over compicated recepies. They look good and taste deliciouses but sometimes u want some easy idea for a meal, so u dont have to wonder where to find some products.

[@edharlingen75]

This is crazy! I literally just did this before watching. Lightly fried the salami and rendered it's fat. Then REHEATED a smokey thin sliced chicken breast in that salami fat. Layered them with provolone cheese on grilled bread.

[@tobywollin8978]

I had a friend in the 6th grade and one day she invited me to go home with her - we stopped by the ladies' underwear/nighgown factory near our school to say hi to her mom and then we went home to her Nana, who was making fried zucchini blossoms which were something that I'd never had before. Ever. They were amazing. The next memory was of my Dad, who would cook for us sometimes - again, he was not always home but when he was, there was all sorts of magic at the stove. the one I remember most is his way of making burgers, which involved shaking a good amount of kosher salt into a heavy frying pan and while that was heating up, he'd finely chop an onion and mix it in with pepper and chopped beef, make patties and then fry them up in the now red-hot frying pan. I have never had a burger that tasted like that one, EVER - and he'd always serve them on toasted kosher rye.

[@range78]

im going rye bread, peppered salami, white cheddar and ancient mustard on mine. great idea.

[@jasonbryenton525]

that sounds amazing

[@Sarcasmos-ft7gz]

He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

[@Chronicseedsinc]

Well said ❤

[@maxpennacchini3261]

I would also recommend using prosciutto for this

[@cmsena88]

Love this. I do proscuitto, mozz, fig spread.

[@MeanOneMeanOne]

Amen brother!!!

[@yayankee1]

Great recipe ...btw where are those weights, I would want to pick them up. Thanks

[@2Wheels_NYC]

This is beautiful! I do almost the same, but I use mortadella. Either way, it's going to be good!

[@edwardlee7990]

Try fried salami on a toasted bagel with some cream cheese. Love the videos!

[@JimmyLLL]

Fried salami is under rated.

[@Dr_Binx]

I enjoyed the story and that does sound bomb lol

[@richardbernard6845]

yummy looking!!!

[@kylemklym]

I like to do a similar sandwich. Bakery by me has a really good cheese bread that I like to use and toast both sides. Then fried salami, back bacon, mustard, American cheese slices. Lately I've been shaving some parm in there, or doing a fried parm crust on the outside. Oh man, I'm gonna go make one now.

[@waynegordon2628]

When I make bolognese, I use toasted salami instead of guanciole, it's about 1/4 the price.

[@candyce6233]

Ohhh hahaha honey, I’ve been making fried bologna sandwiches since I could reach the stove. Lol. Shoot this tho this looks mighty tasty. I’d do half the amount of cheese and use sourdough all day long. For some reason anytime I’ve tried the ol’ mayonnaise in replace of butter it turns out tasting like rancid oil and ruins the entire thing. So I’ll also be going for butter instead. Seems like a great trade off in calories too lol. Thanks for sharing and reminding us of the simple recipe we all have up our sleeves

[@buffysheffield1328]

Oh man, these days because I’m old, I’d chop those grilled salami slices up. That way the salami doesn’t get eaten in the first bite because it wants to stay one slice lol. Thus guaranteeing salami and cheese in every bite.

[@jonathanyu9117]

Gonna try it but with stracciatella and hot honey oof

[@cyrusatkinson3307]

How many times do we need to have this BASIC conversation? ANYTHING OTHER THAN CHEESE on a grilled sandwich makes it a MELT! FFS man!

[@necrosiskoc9617]

That looks amazing, I'm gonna make one ASAP To your point about food bringing people together, I was an unusually athletic white boy in a a mixed area and most of the guys on the football and basketball teams on which I played were from poor areas. I remember 8-10 kids piling in our station wagon back in the day and my Mom would drive them home after practice every day. We were decently well off for the area and my Dad made an adjustable basketball goal and they'd walk for miles to come play all day from sunup until sundown. Around lunchtime, my Mom would make a bunch of hotdogs and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and we'd all chow down. It wasn't until years later after high school that I ran into some of them and they told me that my Mom and our family saved their lives and that they were eating ketchup on bread at home. Three of them ended up playing D1 basketball and one of them ended up making it to the show and played for the Pirates and Blue Jays for awhile.

[@chriskriskovic5914]

I used to say “I’ve got a guy” when bringing a great grilled cheese to the table. Great to see it back on the channel! Edit: food is a beautiful thing

[@jenniferregan4428]

We do this! I slit the meat 3x to avoid cupping

[@that_feralghoul_reaver7657]

Does using mayo leave a noticeable flavor? Not a fan of it, but I am interested in having a crispy toasted bread.

[@davidserlin8097]

You won’t regret it. It gives it a little French toast flare because of the egg in the mayonnaise. It won’t be a mayonnaise taste. But you have to make it a thin layer, just barely there.

[@HendrickSashington-gm6bt]

Damn.... I'm HUNGRY 😧 🤤

[@Jason86x]

Reminds me of when my mom use to make fried bologna grilled cheese lol.

[@jameskolar9655]

That’s great! I like toasted sandwiches, but don’t eat much salami. I’ll buy some and make me a sandwich just like this one. Thank you.

[@mikewoo5488]

If you give the salami a couple slices in the edge not even half way across them it will prolly keep them from curling and lay flatter while cooking lol just a fried bologna pro cooking tip lol that’s a vid I would like to see you try now a fried bologna samitch an American version of your fried salami samitch

[@missyk5474]

Childhood cheese sandwiches, just stay with you. I was friends with the daughter of the TIME TO MAKE THE DONUTS guy, when I was a kid Yes, really. He did a few famous commercials. And, when you went to her house, her dad, was just dad. And he'd whip up sandwiches for all of us. His most famous was his Monte Cristo sammies. Swiss cheese, ham, butter. So yummy. He did grill them too. I think about them to this day, but I was far too young to recall how he made them.

[@xpyr]

This reminds me of a fried baloni sandwich. I've got some Hungarian salami and white cheddar cheese, so I'll be using that to try this.

[@marktacchi159]

Looks tasty ! Gonna have to try making that. I always thought it was pronounced 'sangwich'...so I asked Alexa to spell sangwich. What the heck! Learn something new every day.

[@god708]

love your video's, wondering why you would toast both sides of the bread whats the point of doing this?

[@waynegordon2628]

More toasting, more crispness, more yummy.

[@god708]

@@waynegordon2628 yeah well thats not what's happening, after you add the cheese and meat the fats and juices release which will allow less crunch..

[@cvillatoro696]

Was that stove top to use cook the salami already with the stove when bought as an accessory equipment?

[@iitz_Jules]

I got this done with reaL italian bread & salami, grande

[@ericbrugaliacobone9205]

I used to make the same but without the mayo on the outsides

[@Yacht.46]

great video buddy
