I'd love to see you make a video about mild sauce... I miss having mild sauce with a pizza puff or lemon pepper chicken. 😭
As a former delivery driver for Turano baking who used to deliver southside of Chicago (Bridgeport area) and NWI region (Gary, East Chicago, Hammond) I can confirm best food spots have the bullet proof glass.
Most places in or near Chicago use fresh cucumber in the Taziki. It's a must. They use sour cream because it's cheaper than Greek yogurt. Sour cream, graded or pureed cucumber, graded fresh garlic, lemon, salt and fresh pepper. You gotta let it set for at least 24 hours. The garlic flavor will double if not triple. So only use half a clove per 2 cups of sour cream.
The sexy music playing while cutting meat is diabolical. 🤣🤣 Side note: Chicago's food scene will forever be God tier because it's a City full of people that truly love cooking and eating food.
Yes a mild sauce video would be great
As a Chicago citizen, extremely proud that I recognized Ashland Ave almost immediately.
Born and raised in Chicago ( Southside) and it always surprises me that some on our staples are not know everwhere
Whoa! How have I never heard of this??? I am a 60+ year old, life long resident of the Sout (SIC) side of Chicago, and this is the first time I have ever heard of this sandwich. Looks like a "Must Try"!
A rotary food slicer is a must have. You don't have to invest in a pro grade Hobart or semi-pro grade slicer like seen in this video. If you're like me and only use it a handful of times a year to make thin sliced meat a cheap unit is adequate. Look for cheap slicers from a company like Chef's Choice, that might cost as little as $150, that you might find at stores like Costco. It's also great for slicing baguettes and vegetables.
A proper dive into a wild sandwich. Seeing that meat cleaver make easy work of everything was joyous. Amazing video as always, Adam. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love that you include "the hood" hidden gems. I dig you dude❤
Some places will even deep fry the entire sandwich, making it a "Crispy Gym Shoe" and it's fantastic. Paired with a half pound or so of steak fries, and you've got dinner for the next three days. Or if you hate yourself enough, dinner for one night, and a date with the porcelain gods
A few years back, I was driving cross-country for work and stopped at a southside spot. I saw the Gym Shoo on the menu, so I had to try it. I was blown away. Thanks for reminding me of this rad sandwich. I need to go and make one!!
You should do a jibarito sandwich, made with plantains as the bun. I believe invented in Chicago
props to your editor on this one... that was some classy meat slicing sax music
im really happy to see creators actually talking about Chicago food culture!
Agree with many commenters that your love of food and especially the local fare around the Midwest is so wonderful to see! Please do the mild sauce video, it sounds great!
Another key tell to how good the restaurant is is how scratched up the counter is from sliding change across. Cause if someone is spending they're last dollar of change on this sandwich then it's worth it hahaha
I would love an episode on mild sauce. First I've heard of it.
