H🇺🇸😍🙏

[@CUTravel1st]

Just an FYI, something we learned on our trip a couple weeks ago you can order a Katz sandwich to your room and we got them within 20 minutes. I think that’s shorter than waiting in the line. We did it twice. They’re that good. Thank you for all your help used many of your tips.

[@Gabagool666]

Door dash?

[@milfordcumber3967]

John and Greg eating the sandwiches . doesn't get any better . you guys kill it Great work

[@suefitz2498]

Great to see Greg back again, always interesting to hear his views as well. It’s wonderful to see two grown men having such a fund time eating cured meat sangers and loving them. I love the simplicity in perfecting a few options and building a strong customer base. Excellent el Jon ❤❤❤

[@JoseFlores-kl6jm]

Jon I'm looking forward to my visit to NYC two weeks from today ! I will look into booking a food tour with Greg.

[@HereBeBarr]

Please do!

[@brently1398]

Have not been back to NYC for a few months but that changes this summer 😊. More ideas to add to my list once again. Thanks as always.

[@ELPaso1990TX]

Wow this food looks beautiful and delicious ! I’m so hungry watching it. 10/10.

[@Firestorm055x]

Thanks Jon for another brilliant video. I definitely need to plan a trip to NYC to try out those delicious sandwiches!😃

[@s.macintosh-jc9rf]

Hi Jon, Thank you for your great video of the sandwiches. I must say that David’s Brisket House made my mouth water! You new content raises the bar! Best Wishes, Peter

[@agentul009]

Damn, those sandwiches really look tasty. Another great video, Jon.

[@chrisrankinsmusiccrush9493]

Definitely adding these to the list.

[@thomasbello221]

Love when you put up new content.Great as always. Great choices to pick from.

[@jaspertell6764]

Love the foodie videos. Food is the main reason I travel, which makes New York high on the vacation list. As a traveler though I'd love a video focusing on different hotel/motel (maybe hostels) pricing / locations. Manhattan is top of the list for tourists but what about staying in another borough, also where in the borough (they're big), focusing on safe and ease of subway access. A central spot to Queens, Brooklyn (and Manhattan) seems Ideal, plus hotel costs are lower. Are there areas to avoid? I know this is dependent on where you want to go, what you want to do, but I imagine there be do's and don'ts for picking the ideal place to stay. Myself being a first time New York visitor I'd want to do the primary's, observation tower, Broadway show, boat ride and museum, with as much food as my stomach can handle.

[@luv2stack]

Looks fire

[@DK-vn7lr]

I used to be by Dave's a lot. I got a kick out of a brisket joint being run by guys from Yemem. I remember one Friday I tried to get a sandwich and they were at the mosque

[@liammcpherson]

DO A VIDEO WHERE U EITHER U TALK ABOUT OR GO TO THE TOP 10 BIGGEST PARKS IN NYC OR EVERY PARK IN NYC

[@Marvel-Rogue]

Another GOOD one @HereBeBarr 🍵 It's ALLWAYS that FIRST bite bro that does it 👍🏽. Come one , come all ❤

[@samia6888]

David's tastes JUST LIKE KATZ for my tastebuds. So delicious. I was praying for a halal alternative in Brooklyn and God brought me to this. I don't even have to wait the ridiculous line at KATZ anymore :)

[@westie430]

Oh my. Yet again, 3 more places to put on my list. Basically when i come to NYC next, i won't sleep for 7 days straight, I'll just eat constantly. Perfect! 😂🙏 Just when i think you couldn't possibly find more amazing restaurants! Thank you Jon☺️

[@kurtisgillen7658]

Love ur episodes. New York is close but don't want to travel through Pennsylvania. Lol. Keep em coming.

[@anonymous77173]

Looks great .. only one problem.. I flippin starvin now lol😂😂😂

[@MrQbenDanny]

"If it looks like a Jewish Deli, smells like a Jewish Deli, the food is traditionally Jewish ✡️ it's a Jewish Deli."

[@frednich9603]

David's looks like a convenient stop from the A and C trains. I'll be in NYC on Thursday with a 9 hour layover!

[@HereBeBarr]

Or LIRR to nostrand

[@omarfaruq9233]

​@@HereBeBarrlet's go finally a halal spot for a NYC staple now everything is perfect

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I'd love to try all of those sandwiches. They sure look great. Cheers, Jon! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

[@geordiejones2]

Oh wow, if you paid me to criticise these Sandwiches you could not do it, amazing food. Chris (In UK)

[@geordiejones2]

Wish i had been there when you tasted this amazing collection. Chris.

[@scapedrag7893]

Hey, gonna be heading to David's soon. what would you say was the best sandwich there? great video by the way

[@HereBeBarr]

Pastrami :) Tell Riyadh hi for me.

[@ryandamon714]

❤❤❤we love Brooklyn

[@skizztrizz4453]

I was a port agent that brought in the first cruise ship into Red Hook. I wish that I would've known to get a sandwich from Defontes before I headed back to Jersey.😱😂

[@hoppysport2872]

A superlative video, production and presentation. We live near the old DeFonte's on Third Avenue & 21st Street in Manhattan. We loved that place, but apparently another condo building was needed. Their Hot Roast Beef with roast beef, fresh mozzarella, fried eggplant and natural jus is incredible. So is the Sinatra Special with steak pizzaiola and fresh mozzarella. Everything is great! When they closed, we made our way to Brooklyn. That will end when the MTA's corrupt Congestion Pricing goes into effect at the end of June, 2024. We simply won't pay an extra $15.00 to re-enter Manhattan and we won't spend hours on a dangerous subway. Directions

[@xr6lad]

Sandwiches did look good but where’s the world going. $13 and up to $30 for a sandwich. Sandwiches are not a cheap alternative anymore.

[@mehrajniaz]

Finally, I can try a Halal Pastremi. Thank you for bringing this on my feed.

[@PudWhacker]

Katz top 3 but they hit and miss sometimes with flavor

[@frankgyure3154]

Hey Jon. Couple of weeks I asked yoh about why yoh still live in NYC despite negative publicity. Great video. I just came across a news vid about a section of Queens that is called Little Thailand. There were some food/restaurant info but not sure if it’s good enough for you to do a video.EDIT. I think you were there before about 3 years ago.

[@HereBeBarr]

I went once. Great area

[@bonniepwtf]

That warning came too late Jon.😂 That first place made some great looking sandwiches! Wish I had the pastrami one you got but I'm S O L.☘️

[@mrmartywaring]

I'll be back up in a couple weeks. There are too many choices to try, but I'm gonna make the time worth it

[@HereBeBarr]

Yes sir

[@Alex-ye1br]

Defontes FTW

[@tonynicoletti8161]

Defontes is fire but the sandwiches to get are the pizzaiola, potato and egg, or roast beef eggplant and mozz with the gravy

[@megtravers327]

Are they still open?

[@tomg_2]

My gosh…those sandwiches 🤤

[@minkhuynh5061]

Hello how bend camera man doing?getting better?

[@aasim8]

Hi John and Greg, 🍔🥪🥖🥔🔪🍽🍖🇮🇹🇺🇸🌎🗽

[@tiffanyi5645]

Not a fan of the ultra chopped up sandwiches…it gives pre-chewed food and I prefer to chew my own food 😭

[@leekalgae3849]

that looks better than katz fr 🔥🔥🔥

[@gosogoso77]

David’s brisket is so fire I go there as a lunch and breakfast spot so much better than Katz 100%🔥

[@dennisburby8585]

Everything else, but not that chopped mess.

[@AntonWongVideo]

That Defontes chicken cutlet sandwich looks 🔥🔥🔥

[@HereBeBarr]

it is!

[@Firestorm055x]

Love your videos@AntonWongVideo.😃

[@OGBulls]

No sal,Chris and Charlie 😮

[@HereBeBarr]

This is BK only video

[@gittes98]

Jon- how can you eat all this delicious food and still stay so thin?

[@HereBeBarr]

It’s a struggle.

[@Lloyd-George66]

Some true in what he says just don’t generalize I like my pigs feet cooked and sautéed. Just add kosher salt and slaw that will make it all right,It’s good to be a Catholic cleanser my soul with a Reuben sandwich and Hasidim Hasidim but I don’t believem.

[@PS-ys9yg]

Chopp the cold meat its a sin

[@stepheneson4107]

As always this is another great video, but I have one comment/suggestion: Anytime someone says "this place is really blowing up on social media right now".... I run. Granted, your videos & Instagram feeds are technically "social media", but your content is curated and researched. I have no interest in investigating crowd-sourced restaurants and attractions, whose business more often than not gets warped by the hordes who are interested in the selfie there as much as they are in patronizing the business. Thanks.

[@maitrehg]

Nice but Montreal's Smoked Meat is better.

[@JamesJ.Christensen1807]

I am saying from my heart, your recipes are excellent every time. Share on khal.

[@chrismaclean9735]

Katz is hands down without question the best .

[@jimdellavecchia4594]

I went o David's, and since it's Halal they served my sandwich in a vest with C4 & instructions

[@user-cv8oi8pm3p]

H😍🇺🇸🌏🙏

[@giancarlocarlo1407]

Bad day to start my vegan diet…jk. Great info as always

[@westie430]

Lol it's a sign...don't do it😂

[@Futuristbillpicone]

KATZ

[@davidgarrison8053]

Being germ aware I'm not eating any sandwich where the guy making the sandwich has been touching chip bags that everybody hands to him.

[@dntansrqs1341]

I have a crippling case of jew fatigue

[@theludotheory]

Well, I don't eat halal food. Looks like we have a problem.

[@BenPlayford-jx1oy]

Less Islam is good
