the sandwich challenge (vegan) | hot for food

[@PrimBear3]

It always cracks me up how gourmet Lauren's dishes are and how John always has just classic bachelor food

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

You guys should try to do a spin off of Chopped! Pick 5 strange ingredients and see who can come up with the best recipe :)

[@itslivb]

Yes I loved when they used to do a mystery ingredient so I would love to see a twist like you suggested :)

[@cupofcozy708]

Yes!

[@msfleursbliss]

THIS!

[@megksjd1523]

MY FAVORITE KZbin COMMENTING ON MY OTHER FAVORITE KZbinRS VIDEO

[@stephaniesantos78]

it'd be even better if the ingredients were chosen by viewers somehow. maybe a bunch of suggested ingredients written down and then 5 taken out of a hat or something

[@giovannisalinas1672]

WHY DO I ALWAYS WATCH THESE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH

[@giovannisalinas1672]

p.s: I was on the toilet

[@MrsBestiaAzul]

It's better than watch them with an empty wallet!

[@z-scart5463]

_"AN EMPTY STOMACH"_ _"I was on the toilet"_

[@elisabetzavala6535]

Same.

[@giovannisalinas1672]

[@gracemcglinn3770]

my friend always says I eat "rabbit food"lol

[@grissypink23]

+Grace Mcglinn lol my mother in law calls it diet food

[@sunnylanes]

I vote for Lauren's. Johns look really good too! Food network needs you both on their shows and spread the vegan message

[@hotforfood]

:D

[@perfumaphilia3246]

sunny lanes Yes, a cooking channel needs to offer them a contract!

[@sabetflores4603]

Looove you guys!!! I know soups are easy but Maybe do a SOUP CHALLENGE next!!!? I've been dying for a vegan clam chowder or a broccoli and cheese soup. 🍜💞

[@samanthagomez2348]

Omg same!!

[@adhiantos]

Soup challenge yes please!

[@CollinMckenna]

I'm not a huge fan of soups, and even I want to see this.

[@ForeverLanae]

agreed. I LOOOOVE Clam chowder and Broccoli cheddar soup. my 2 fave soups that I haven't been able to figure out since going vegan a couple months ago

[@leighanne6364]

Isa Chandra's glam chowder is amazing.

[@blackvelvet3795]

I'm gonna go with Johns as a tribute to Joey Tribbiani!

[@_e11e_78]

would you risk your life for it? lol

[@blackvelvet3795]

I sure would! I would take a bullet for it

[@_e11e_78]

blackVelvet as one should for the greatest sandwich in the world!

[@nb2983]

Omg yesssss JOEY DOESNT SHARE FOOD

[@HulIZ]

Whahahahaaaa he is so Joey-like! John say: "How YOU doin'?

[@fleurblack4447]

Lauren I'm surprised that you dodn't use OldBay seasoning on your mushrooms. :O

[@brwnzebra5001]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@Funky_Kong69]

Fleur Black holy shit I know! I'm waiting and watching her adding the seasons and I kept saying "and my favorite, old baeeeee" so that we would say it at the same time. spoiler: IT DIDN'T HAPPEN : |

[@Aksm91ManNavar]

literally no reason not to go vegan after watching your guys' videos

[@Madss976]

i freaking love your guys reaction every time you taste your own food 😂

[@Madss976]

going with johns.. only bc i hated anything from the ocean before going vegan so if those mushrooms taste like oysters then i'm out lol

[@americana1980]

Great recipes, what a cool couple of vegan geniuses, tapioca tip for cheese so good to know, I was struggling with that, and Lauren always pulls it together with new innovative ideas. Where's the book u two?????

[@hotforfood]

SOON! Spring 2018

[@americana1980]

ok Ill be one of the first to purchase for sure. Thanks for your time.

[@Pam_Livinlife]

ITS A TIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GD24__]

AGREE!

[@kristenrimulaar]

"Holy crap i think im over-compensating for something" 😂 i died haha. Love you guys, love this channel! No one ever made vegan food look this good 👏🏽

[@lancecdcw]

Love the poboy idea, as a Louisianan I was wondering what kind of shrimp substitute I would have. Thanks Lauren and John!

[@maryanng720]

Hi, new subscriber here. I know which one I Want to vote for because of it's uniqueness but, both have a lot of effort put into them. I will take your advice though and make them first. Thank you! I can't wait! They look so delicious. 👏

[@hotforfood]

welcome to hot for food! Thanks for subbing and watchin

[@melanieabeyta806]

I am excited that I found your channel. What you share is inspiring and makes me motivated to cook and try new things. I made the oyster po' boy for my husband last night (he is not a vegan in any way) and he couldn't get enough. They were amazing. Thank you for the time you spend to share.

[@codenamehoneytattoos]

I don't even know who to choose, they both look incredible! 😱

[@thatpiscesgal]

Oh my goodness! This was one of the hardest to vote for! Both looked so yummy! xoxo

[@thehappypear]

This was awh inspiring! Two amazing samiches.

[@Stephanie-id7ut]

Both of these sandwiches look amazing and I'll definitely be making both recipes....meatball subs were a favorite of my kiddos! But I have to say, that oyster po' boy looks LEGIT! You guys are the dopest vegan alchemist and I love it!

[@shestudios]

The food-gasm alone is too much to take. Shopping list created...standby

[@hotforfood]

:D cant wait to hear your results!

[@PorcelainLeigh]

What shestudios said! :)

[@jesse021891]

This should be a tie! I miss these two together! Amazing food!

[@RuthK218]

Omggggff those both look incredible I couldn't even choose

[@pc1595]

I finally tried to make my own version of John's meatball sub tonight. It was absolutely amazing! I rarely comment on youtube videos, but you both have such great videos and recipes. I really loved this and love your spirit. Watching this channel was the final push that helped me become fully vegan a few months ago and I haven't looked back since. Cheers!

[@hotforfood]

aww amazing!!! Thank you for sharing a comment. So happy to hear you are fully vegan!

[@priscilajmarquez46]

Wow! BOTH were soooo good but Lauren you had my heart with the oyster mushroom po boy!!!

[@hotforfood]

[@TaliaDaSilva]

DO A HANGOVER FOOD CHALLENGE!!!

[@huziaks]

I'm only voting for Lauren because she lost last week. Because I honestly couldn't choose.

[@iheartshoesx3]

ahh they both look so good! I wish i was there to try them both haha. one of these challenges you guys should try picking out a mystery ingredient for each other & figuring out how to incorporate it into your dishes! or using the same ingredient to create different ones like pumpkin or something for the fall! i think that'd be so interesting to watch yall figure something out!

[@GallivanterEdits]

Do a lasagna challenge! I think it will be an awesome challenge to do because no one has ever done a super different lasagna ever.

[@rxlx6029]

Vegan Lasagna is amazing!!!

[@karrrot]

WOW this one was crazy good. I have to say, this 'challenge' series is SUCH a great idea, well done guys.

[@baronandvicki]

Lauren, even though there's pickles

[@hotforfood]

why so many pickle haters... they're the BEST!

[@aleksalovesmusic]

i love them too!

[@paolabueso]

Wow! These both look amazing! Thank you for sharing this video.

[@AngieKariofilli]

I choose Laurens recipe just because I love mushrooms! :-) kisses from Greece!!!!

[@sparklinginfinity2887]

Honestly, choosing a winner is the bigger challenge! But I'm gonna go with Lauren, your satisfied expressions were very convincing and so is the originality of the dish :D Plus, I love oyster mushrooms! You two are absolutely genius!

[@sweetiee17x3]

i voted john's! i loveeee meatball subs- i would put green peppers and chipotle mayo on it too! or use vegan chorizo in the meat too

[@CandiceLikes]

You guys rock. I just started being Vegan 3 months ago and these recipes are some of the best on KZbin for sure. Keep it up! ✌️

[@Emily-om3ct]

i used to live in new orleans, and there was a gas station down the street from my house that had po boys and i would go there all the time and get shrimp po boys. i NEED to make lauren's recipe, miss po boys.

[@alexisjankowski597]

both are great! so difficult to choose! love your videos

[@lisaastrid4729]

I vote for Lauren, but they both look amazing

[@RobinOrzo]

I gotta give it to Lauren, super creative! Though I wouldn't turn any of these sandwiches away lol

[@adriannajohnson1325]

Just made Lauren's po boy sandwich.. oh my god. Oh. Oh my god. I make my own non-dairy milk (ayooo college girl lol) I didn't have apple cider vinegar so I just used my vegan sushi vinegar and it amazing. I did add old baeeee to the seasoning and it was to die for. You guys honestly need to try it out for yourself words can not begin to explain how good it is. (Couldn't find a vegan hoagie so I went to a vegan cafe and bought their hoagie rolls lol)

[@hotforfood]

AWESOME and so resourceful :D

[@unicornpixels]

I love your channel so much!! You rock guys

[@hotforfood]

[@juniepers]

john's meatball sub would've been even better with a bit of pesto or something drizzled on top omg

[@maritzag.1996]

I loooove these videos!! 🤗 So original (at least I haven't seen anyone else do this) and so fun to watch! 👌🏼👏🏼

[@myaalliah]

Lauren, none of us have the money to make both of them!!!!!!

[@DimeDesigns10]

Lol

[@Ireknight123123]

+Amanda Lewis really? You want a trophy for that or what?

[@anonymouse692]

I don't think the ingredients look that expensive...Maybe the vital wheat gluten is $2.89. Hmm maybe they can do a budget challenge next time?? $5 limit for ingredients!

[@yoanatrejo4720]

None of us? Lol u mean u don't have money, don't speak for all of us

[@leah787]

None of us need to make both of them?

[@MyMidnightkitty]

Man, your videos just get better and better.

[@Cherrywvesss]

I just made a bunch of Po Boys for my family and they were so surprised when I told them it was vegan! my absolute favorite recipe 💕

[@hotforfood]

yaaay!!

[@robinrox1]

As much as I love crunchy fried foods, I think I have to go with John's! A good marinara sauce sounds amazing right now and I bet the texture of those meatballs is fantastic.

[@bpourr]

Next challenge: EASY family dinner idea

[@tanairigonzalez1455]

This challenge was too much to handle. Both sandwiches looked amazing. Can't wait to try them out. 😍

[@hammypie]

Have u tried Gardein meatballs? So good

[@destinyharrison3336]

it's so weird how real they taste

[@untanajackson4927]

I do not agree I hate them

[@cocoandrosemary9622]

I love those!

[@cupofcozy708]

I love them...their flavor is so good!

[@Rainy333]

They taste awesome, but way too big for me :p I gotta cut them in at least 4 before eating

[@bethsummerfield9855]

"that sounds like a mess I would clean up." Haha! Story of my life. Great job you guys! Amazzzzing. Can't wait to make dem balls.

[@MorenitaBonita19]

this makes us vegans look so awesome!! #coolkidsintown

[@applebee39]

I really really wish I could vote for both. They look insanely delicious

[@namat6830]

John wins by a land slide. That meat ball looks real af

[@mmercado8878]

I just found your channel. You guys are awesome. Subscribed!

[@hotforfood]

Thanks SO SO much :D

[@TheGamerz_Hub]

They both look so good!

[@qasimsfl14]

Really enjoyed this challenge keep up the great work!

[@neyrincon6231]

I fucking swear watching videos while on the toilet is a 85% of my life tbh

[@hotforfood]

hAHHA amazing!

[@jessicaataylorx3]

I've been vegan for a little over 5 months now and couldn't be happier with the decision for obvious reasons, but your channel has made the whole experience that much better for me! I've found a love for cooking and can't thank you guys enough for your creativeness and encouragement to get in the kitchen :) If you haven't already, you guys should do a vegan soup challenge! It's getting to be that time of year when all I want is soup :)

[@brioche8123]

"I think I'm over compensating for something". Hahaha did no one catch that

[@iberbie]

This is the first time that I watch a video and I got subscribed immediately... Like a lot the poll interaction and everything looks really yummy.

[@melissaduff6255]

Both looked amazing, id love to eat both of them. Both winners for sure

[@Thevietvegan]

You guys keep outdoing yourselves, both look EPIC. I don't know how you do it =O

[@lisaw8162]

I saw this and made it because lucky me had oyster mushrooms. I switched up the sauce a little bit and put on cucumbers. But I died Lauren. And they sent my ghost back to tell you that I died being happy because of that freaking delicious sandwich.

[@merylseward3921]

I'm a new subscriber and I love how passionate you are about food and how excited you get! You inspire me to try more interesting vegan cooking!

[@merylseward3921]

Also I had just moved to the toilet when you said that and I have never felt so known :D

[@katherynhennis3116]

They both look epic!

[@katherynhennis3116]

And I agree with Lauren, I think this is the best challenge outcome yet. You guys just keep getting better and better!

[@glendaramos9353]

Seriously how do you guys not have a million subscribers?? Your content is amazing and the quality of your videos too! 😭

[@jamiepage9046]

They both look great, but Lauren's is original and can't wait to make it!!!

[@jessicahummel4323]

Thanks for always making my hump days a little more bearable!

[@theedainty]

i normally watch videos on my phone but i always save your videos and (lauren toyota personal) videos for the computer. its so satisfying to watch people you love in a bigger screen. amirite?

[@JamaicanMsTrice]

I always feel like Lauren is so creative with her meals that I am always inclined to say that she wins

[@eilykern125]

Lauren's! It just looks more fluffy and inviting, plus I never really liked meatballs to begin with. Johns does look cool though

[@charlottewagnersearle1515]

They both look amazing! Will for sure make them both because yum!

[@_e11e_78]

Sorry Lauren, but I couldn't' take my eyes of John's monster :P

[@hotforfood]

ewww HAHAHAHAAA

[@Nappie072]

I can not choose!!! I will def make them both! They look soooo good!!! Great job guys! Xo

[@lucyskywalker352]

that meatball sub needed spinach or basil or some green thing

[@adriannefavret9162]

I found oyster mushrooms at my farmers market yesterday and made the Po Boy today. It was crazy good! That breading was so much tastier than I expected!!

[@briannabossard263]

Grrrr I can never figure out how to vote on an iPhone! But Lauren has my vote. This one was a tough call though.

[@danyahaliyar7364]

If you tap the video screen, there's a little i in the corner Click it and you can vote!

[@paigemarie5896]

You click on the upside down exclamation mark on the right.

[@etobiCRACKscorpions]

An upside down exclamation mark is the letter "i".

[@paigemarie5896]

Haha wow it is. I feel stupid lol

[@andersmykkeltvedtbuene3048]

YOU ARE SO CUTE AND OH MY GOD THESE BOTH LOOK SO GOOD I NEED TO MAKE THEM AND PUT THEM IN MY MOUTH. But really. Thank you guys SO much for posting all of your amazing recipes, you've inspired me to make the transition into fully vegan!

[@hazeleanne2991]

I've never had a mushroom nor an oyster in my freaking life, but this right here makes me wanna run to the supermarket to find these shrooms and make this crunchy soft tender pickled love boat 😍 no offense to the hubs, I'll probably make the meatball sub too but erm, creativity won me over here 🤗

[@bettymcdowall6944]

For a while I was taking care of kids after school. They absolutely love their snacks called "Ants on a log" - it was celery sticks filled with peanut butter and topped with raisins - great treat, healthy and did not spoil their supper !

[@emadowney9003]

I am definitely making both!

[@ErickaC101]

they both looks so good! i wanna try em both!

[@dianechandler]

Hands-down -----both win!!!!!!!

[@melliwika4166]

how can one even choose?! Both of those sandwiches look delicious!

[@BlackNaturalPlantBasedMama]

I will make the meatballs to use in the NEAR future, but I need that PoBoy in my life!!!! Great job Lauren!!!

[@TheDENIMANCI]

This looks amazing! I'm making this for lunch!

[@mayasanders3805]

Who the hell were the two dislikes?? This vid is bomb

[@lapeter100]

Can't wait to make these!! Would you please make a pulled jackfruit recipe? I know there are lots of recipes, but I just trust yours and know that it will taste really good.

[@raquelfernandez5533]

They don't sell that prepacked vegan beef here in Germany. :( I wanna eat the meatball sub!

[@pialynn9619]

huch, wo wohnst du denn? Bei mir gibt's ohne ende veganes Fleisch Zeugs. Bei Kaufland, real, biocompany... Selbst bei Aldi gibt's vegane Schnitzel :) #veganpower

[@cupcake150911]

You can use soya mince same thing

[@romykucerova6792]

We in czech republic (neighbors) have granulated soy meat.. you must have it 100% too.. so just take that and season it like beef ;)

[@janinahakunamatata5028]

We have that in Germany! They sell it at ALDI or LIDL, vegan minced meat. (das veggie Hack bei den 2 Läden ist vegan, ist hald nur nicht gefroren sondern in der Kühltheke).

[@blackvelvet3795]

Ich würde es mal mit dem Rügenwalder Mühle Hack versuchen, das ist vegan und sehr lecker :)

[@divakimmy]

I am so excited to finally see a vegetarian/vegan po boy finally!! When I was in college I worked at a seafood place that had such good ones and in the 14 years I've been vegetarian I've never seen a recipe that looked good. This looks tasty! can't wait to try it! Also, I have made John's pretzel bites 3 times since that video was posted. You guys make such addicting food!

[@sammileung86]

lauren's is ingenious!

[@tamcon72]

Though I don't miss seafood after 22 years of being plant-based, and John's sub looks amazing, Lauren's recipe is very clever, so she's got my vote. Thanks for posting, you two : )

[@pollyconfession8350]

I loved John's sandwich.

[@JRENT209]

I love your outfit Lauren!!

[@JRENT209]

I vote Lauren's po'boy!
