Really appreciate the quick reviews of the available vegan convenience products that are inside of these recipe videos.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Thank you! Originally it was just gonna be a deli meat taste test video, but as I made these sandwiches I realized there was a lot of ground to cover!

[@ridgleyhawthorne715]

Wow! pulling out a blow torch out at ANY TIME during an on-site food prep is going to take care of those pesky in-person omplaints. Problem is can't do same with the Real Nasty On-line trollers. Alas, but we can dream, can't we...? 🤣 lol! Is about a joke? 🤥 ....Hmm,, let me think about this. .?? 🤔 🙄🤭 , & think 🤭, and & think ... 💤😴💤..sigh, okay, I'll behave, if I must). On the other hand, this Vegan Grinder is a TOTAL WINNER, so we'll just forget about them. And Chow Down!! 😋🌯💚

I agree. He does a really good job of not only making his meals substantial, but his videos as well. Both entertaining and informative.

[@Boomtendo4tw]

The tofurkey slices are great!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

They are my go to! Try the BeHive if you can, they were so good!

[@NyaalaStyles]

noo ✨😂😂😂 it looked like you were assaulted by the mia slices lol

[@marystestkitchen]

IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE!!!

[@suicune2001]

LOL! That sounds absolutely amazing! I haven't had much chance to try deli meats but Tofurkey hickory smoked is definitely my favorite from the couple I have tried.

[@someguy2135]

Mine too. I like it so much, I stopped trying any others. I just stick with that one. Add some hummus, and other condiments, and you have a great sandwich. Kind of nice that it isn't a type 1 carcinogen, like lunch meat made from animals. Other type 1 carcinogens are tobacco smoke and asbestos.

[@suicune2001]

@@someguy2135 It's not perfect but looking at the ingredients, I have to say it's really not bad. I honestly expected it to be a lot worse.

[@someguy2135]

[@shanely]

Nice call on adding a creamy dressing to the veggies before topping. I’d say the only thing you’re missing is a drizzle of balsamic vinegar on the top side of the bread. It makes a massive difference and is something I forgot was added to some of the best non vegan Italian deli sandwiches I had in the past in NYC. Seitan’s Helper in Brooklyn reminded me and it’s a game changer.

[@VeryTastySoup87]

Awesome video, I've tried a lot of recipes from you and I enjoyed them a lot, thank you

[@RogueAstro85]

This looks so good! Well done! I love that you keep your recipes accessible. Sauce Stache is incredible and no hate, but sometimes I don't want to spend $20 on an obscure ingredient and spend 6 hours on a "steak" It reminds me of the grinder sandwich at this vegan deli here in Austin. If anyone visits or is passing through, stop by Rebel Cheese. It's seriously amazing and is a really wholesome local business! Plus they have a whole selection of gourmet vegan cheeses

[@Cookie_Crafter]

I love your videos thank you so much

[@JacKAsterisK]

I used to get subs all the time, so I'm super stoked! That sauce and just everything together sounds amazing, definitely trying this soon. Everyone I've had try our reubens (lots of non-vegans too) using the Unreal corn'd beef has absolutely loved it. We usually heat it in a pan with some oil though because yeah, it starts off a bit dry. I also might add on, let's say, a not so low-calorie amount of sauce to the sandwiches 😁

[@linzertube]

I’ve never heard of a grinder before, but I could totally go for it! I like the idea of hollowing out the bun a bit….more room for all those great flavours. Thanks, TheeBurgerDude, I’m looking forward to making this for my family.👏😎

[@16bitHi5]

I've gone down the sandwich deli meat path and its soo good. Please try the tofurky italian deli meat it is my number one choice for deli meat. I really want to try the behive ones now. Thank you for your content 😊

[@ordunok]

looks so good! Im about to go buy the ingredients to make it. Im your fan!

[@oyeahneneirs]

yummmmm! love tofurky and have to try those deli slices from BEHIVE! i loveee their pepperoni !

[@gisellereyna7327]

That looks soooo good

[@shnepper]

Well done, going to try that sauce out! Thanks!

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I am always happy to learn new vegan recipes from talented creators like you. This looks delicious! I look forward to learning more recipes from you. I cook a lot and make cooking videos too so I am always looking for new ideas. I hope we can keep learning from each other!

[@thejulieb]

I just love when my favorite people here share other favorite people of mine 😏 Ethan has some great content and ideas even though it isn’t all vegan/vegetarian based. Thank you for the review of the deli slices. I have tried most of the ones you have and appreciate the visual references you shared for those I have not. Hoping I can find the brand you used for your sammy!

[@GoodWillPrevail]

Looks really good. I like the idea of scooping out the bread. Also, mixing the dressing with the lettuce, etc. Nice!

[@miasmanic4396]

proscitutto style slices are DELICIOUS when you cook them up in a bit of oil. they crisp up around the edges and still have a nice meaty chew like bacon. i’ve never had them uncooked in fact lol. please give them another shot! make sure u cook em till crispy enough

[@miasmanic4396]

the mia brand

[@qualcunoacaso6733]

You are incredible and so talented !! Yum 😋

[@jamescooper1968]

Nice presentation of the video--you did your homework, experimented, and presented it well. I love the Field Roast; not so much for the texture, which is a lot like the others, but for the flavors. Field Roast offers real flavors that aren't "meat substitutes." What I want with a sandwich slice is the shape and ease, I don't need it to taste like ham or beef. My favorites: Balsamic Mushroom and the Smoked Tomato. I haven't had the Pepperoni, but the others are moist and foldable (which I like to do.)

[@CourtneyPeach]

😂🤣😂🤣 The reaction to the MIA slices was hilarious

[@brennascheier9806]

Those sandwiches look absolutely scrumptious. I find those Mia Prosciutto slices do work really well on pizza. Their smoky flavor is pretty strong and the texture isn’t the greatest cold so I agree they aren’t the best for sammies. But they crisp up really well on pizza (with olive oil, (v) mozzarella, (v) feta or goat cheese, caramelized onions, and red pepper flakes).

[@JunkJordan]

Your videos are the BEST 👌

[@southernvegan5522]

Being vegan and gluten free realllllly sucks sometimes 🤣 this looks heavenly!!!

[@datekaname2246]

I like how you just pull out a torch from out of nowhere.

[@ayyowassup]

That worried me too lol

[@andreawalker7138]

I have been hollowing out my bread/bun halves for years now. I like bread but I want to be able to taste the rest of the ingredients (plus it makes room for a little more filling, lol). I've been putting potato chips on my subs for years too. Delicious. Aaaaaaand now I'm in the mood for a Grinder, thanks a lot...😁

[@whatsupitsImari]

The yves bologna and salami are my personal favorites

[@xanderbame]

Be-Hive is the goat.

[@oreettroll]

I started the video and as you started going over deli slices, I was going to come here and say you should check out The Bee Hive, and then boom, you already did! Their pepperoni cooks up great on a vegan pizza.

[@atlygroup]

Nice finger action after sliding in the chopped Chives. Lol. Looks fabulous!

[@AudaL]

😍😍😍yummmmm

[@warrenb9343]

Great vid as usual. Appreciate the reviews. I like the Yves salami and ham. That's what I use most exclusively. Plus, they have them at my local shop for a good price. Checked out the Bee Hive. Not available local to me. Was going to order on line, but good grief a bit outta my budget. And, how come these have to be consumed in 3 days? I can't eat a whole pack in 3 days. We used to have an open pack of real meat, ham or roast beef, in the fridge for 2 months and it was still good.

[@adamdoyle6495]

Try Plant Provisions, they are not trying to be "meat" but are very tasty on sandwiches/wraps!

[@murphyslandscape]

Hey Burger Dude. Maybe not in your wheel house? But would love to see a vid on work lunches. I'm a 7-5 er and work outside. Lunches are such a pain in the butt sometimes. This post made me think of how great Vegan sandwiches can be. But creating lunches at 6 a.m. sometimes is tricky. Love your content. Not opposed to heat and eat options too.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

If all goes according to plan my next video will be frozen breakfast burritos! I’d like to do more meal planning stuff so that’s definitely something I can do!

[@84Mazzy]

Yes please, lunches are the one meal I struggle with

[@rini6]

I use the hickory smoked tofurkey all the time. It is good. Haven’t found a great vegan cheese tho. But that tomato looked awesome.

[@suicune2001]

I really like the cayenne tomato chao cheese. I've also tried Follow Your Heart smoked gouda and that was really good as well.

[@SevenHunnid]

Beehive is a local Nashville deli I believe. Great place to grab a bite to eat if you’re ever in town!

[@Heartburn1220]

yum😋

[@soyslut]

Shoutout to besties, yeah baby!

[@nozee77]

I'd like the bread roll to be toasted, but other than that it looks delicious!

[@Seitanic_panic]

Pro tip: add water to the container with the chopped lettuce (like up to the rim) and it keeps the lettuce from turning browning/wilting for longer.

[@ZaneKyber]

Yeah I agree that without scooping out the bread interior, the ratio of bread to everything-else can be noticably off

[@shalinimiskelly2609]

I've made this for my family three times since watching this video and can say that the deli vegan "meat" doesn't really matter - always delicious!

[@CobaltContrast]

I'm glad we agreed with all of these. The only ones I hadn't heard of was the beehive stuff. So if your taste buds line up with mine, seems like I'll like it. Chips on sandwiches? Heck yeah. Fries on burgers. Oh my.

[@TheHungryMushroom]

Try plant provisions deli slices

What didn't you like about the Mia prosciutto ? I've tried it and I really liked it, same with my Italian grandma. I know people have different taste buds and preferences but what do don't you like about it ?

You should get an investor so you can open up a food truck with a weekly rotating sandwich menu.

[@BrentMurrell]

Dude, I luv u.

[@grantmccoy6739]

I used to make veggie sandwiches every day for lunch, and I didn't use the vegan substitutes. I tried the tofurkey and was very disappointed. For me, the most important things were mayo, pickles and olives. I usually use avocado as well 😉

The onions in water thing is debatable. Most people don't like it, but I find if I eat a raw fresh cut onion I'll taste it the rest of the month so I like the water trick. Either way it's yummy!

[@erikamundson2507]

Shocking the smaller companies taste the best. You need Renegade Foods

[@cbmtv4902]

I made it for my 17 year old brother and he liked and also he is vegan.

[@christophermorin9036]

Tried the Tofurkey before with just plain sandwiches (Aka "meat" "cheese" and "Mayo"). It tasted okay, like 85% resembled turkey, even looked like it, but it just didn't bite the same. It was less like a meat and more like a turkey flavored hard cheese. Had to pass on that. This might convince me to try again.

[@RogueAstro85]

I recommend you look into transglutamase, aka "meat glue" It sounds gross but all it is is an enzyme that binds proteins together. I've been experimenting with making vegan cheese with it and still have a bit to go, but you should experiment with it and see if you can use it in any of your projects. It's pretty cheap too

[@dianew7058]

So I was going to ask you if the yuba skin would make good deli slices and then you referenced the yuba skin you made before. So will yuba skin be better?

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I don’t think it’ll be better but it could work!

[@ivenstorm]

When I was eating vegan cheeses, the only vegan cheese I had that I couldn't recommend is Daiya. I could taste what they were going for but its taste is too strong, and it has a weird texture. The best way for me to describe it would be Kraft Dinner vs Knockoff Kraft Dinner. It's meant to mimic the kd taste but somewhere along the line it went horribly wrong. Also, pickle your red onions. It makes them taste soooooo much better.
