But I love Philly.

00:40

And you guys grew up on cheesesteaks.

00:42

Of course.

00:43

Okay.

00:44

Now everyone in New York that we talked to,

00:46

About going to Philly, they said,

00:47

"Gotta go to Pat's or Geno's."

00:49

Yeah, which one are you going to?

00:50

Pat's or Geno's?

00:50

That was all anyone said.

00:52

That was the question.

00:53

And then we got down to Philly and everyone's like,

00:54

"You're not going to Pat's or Geno's, are you?"

00:56

Don't go near them.

00:57

So we were like, Of course not. Wouldn't dream of it.

01:00

A confusingly named Angelo's Pizzeria.

01:02

Yeah.

01:03

Apparently the pizza's good, but the cheesesteak is even better.

01:06

Soon as we walked in,

01:07

I mean, it's like the flipping stock exchange in there,

01:10

Rammed with people.

01:12

That's us.

01:13

We've heard this is the best cheesesteak in Philly.

01:16

And we had to do a proper Philly, you know what I mean?

01:18

Angelo.

01:19

Okay.

01:20

This is so heavy.

01:23

Ooh, looks like a baby.

01:24

Oh my gosh.

01:25

I tell you.

01:26

It weighs more than a baby.

01:27

That's a heavy baby.

01:28

That's a heavy baby.

01:29

Look at this guy.

01:29

All right.

01:30

Let's get involved.

01:31

You have Philly cheesesteaks before?

01:33

No, it's not.

01:33

It's literally my first time.

01:34

Like Philly cheesesteaks is quite famous.

01:37

Everyone knows that Philly cheesesteak.

01:40

You're here now.

01:40

So just say cheesesteak.

01:42

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:43

In Philly we call it cheesesteak?

01:44

Oh, it's just a cheesesteak.

01:45

I don't believe that.

01:45

Out of Philly people call it a Philly cheesesteak.

01:46

Okay.

01:47

You know what I'm saying?

01:48

It's a tautology.

01:49

Yeah.

01:50

You don't say like Korean kimchi fried rice.

01:52

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:53

That's true.

01:54

Yeah, that makes sense.

01:55

You guys got the stamp now, you guys could call it cheesesteak.

01:59

We've been given permission.

02:00

Here you go.

02:01

Now this is something I've been wanting to try

02:03

for a long time.

02:04

You can't get cheesesteak in the UK for sure.

02:06

No, well, I mean, you could get steak and cheese,

02:09

But we just never think to mix it together.

02:10

That's true.

02:12

So this is the whiz one.

02:14

So whiz in the UK means, well, to urinate.

02:17

Yeah, take a whiz.

02:18

Yeah, you don't say that in America.

02:20

So if someone gave you a whiz,

02:22

Whiz steak, no.

02:24

Whiz sandwich is bad.

02:25

Yeah, you want to try it?

02:27

Pixelate that.

02:29

This is the classic recipe.

02:33

Is that like whiz cheese?

02:34

Now that's the cheese that comes out of the can.

02:36

Is that whiz kind of?

02:37

I must say, it looks like,

02:38

This is how fish and chips comes in the UK.

02:40

Yeah.

02:41

It's exactly how it comes.

02:43

Oh my gosh.

02:44

Oh wow.

02:46

Let's go.

02:47

That's a lot of meat.

02:48

No wonder it's so heavy.

02:50

Look at that.

02:50

Oh my gosh.

02:52

Just go for it.

02:53

Cheers, man.

02:54

Cheers, let's go.

02:55

Cheers.

02:56

Let's go.

02:57

Let's go.

03:01

Wow.

03:03

Oh my gosh.

03:04

And they use the side called seeded bread, too.

03:06

I was about to say,

03:07

That bread is incredible.

03:10

The texture of that bread.

03:11

That genuinely tastes like coronary heart disease.

03:13

You know?

03:14

Like seriously.

03:16

It tastes like not being able to see your grandkids.

03:18

Oh my gosh.

03:19

So when you're younger,

03:21

You eat them more often.

03:22

As you get older,

03:24

You kind of slow down.

03:25

It goes once a week,

03:26

Once a month,

03:27

It changes for people.

03:29

It's like lollipops.

03:30

Yeah.

03:31

I can't remember the last time I had a lollipop.

03:33

But when I was a kid.

03:34

Loving it.

03:35

In New York,

03:36

we had a sandwich called a chopped cheese.

03:38

And there were similarities.

03:40

The cheese is definitely very similar to this.

03:42

The bread.

03:42

This is a crispy bread on the outside.

03:44

Really soft in the middle.

03:46

This absorbs some of that beef fat.

03:47

The beef though,

03:49

in the chopped cheese,

03:49

I feel like it was almost like hamburger meat.

03:52

Chopped up.

03:53

It's meaty.

03:54

I guess that's why you call it a steak.

03:55

Yeah.

03:56

Depending on where you go,

03:57

They usually use ribeye meat.

03:58

So ribeye.

03:59

It's basically ribeye steak chopped up.

04:02

Okay. Firstly, I feel like you guys should try the Whiz version.

04:04

This is like the classic, right?

04:06

Yeah.

04:08

Yeah.

04:09

How cheesy and beefy and just.

04:14

It's so soft in there.

04:15

It's almost like a beef smoothie.

04:17

You know?

04:18

Beef and cheese smoothie.

04:19

Yeah.

04:19

I mean that sounds disgusting.

04:21

Yeah.

04:22

It tastes delicious.

04:23

If that was any smoothie,

04:24

You could suck it up with a straw.

04:26

Wow.

04:27

Wow.

04:28

Not the best image, but yeah.

04:29

This is a paid partnership with BetterHelp.

04:43

Everybody just loves it.

05:48

There's a lot of people.

Everyone in New York is like,

05:49

"Oh, you're going to Pat's or Geno's?"

05:51

When we said Pat's or Geno's,

05:52

You guys both were like,

05:53

"No."

05:54

Yeah.

05:55

I still take people there all the time.

05:57

Like when my aunts come,

05:58

My cousins come,

05:59

We still got to take them.

06:00

It's the classic.

06:01

They got like a bigger sign.

06:02

It says Pat's and Geno's.

06:04

You can take a little picture in front.

06:06

But here, it's not like you're here to eat.

06:07

You know?

06:08

Oh yeah.

06:09

Napkin dealer.

06:10

Thank you very much.

06:10

So how's this different from Pat's and Geno's then?

06:12

Pat's and Geno's are sliced.

06:14

Okay.

06:15

Sliced.

06:16

Okay.

06:16

It's a bit harder to chew through, I imagine.

06:18

A little bit.

06:18

It almost looks like a bulgogi slice.

06:20

Just like sliced.

06:22

Some people like that too.

06:23

Some people like sliced.

06:24

Some people like chopped.

06:26

I get Pat's and Geno's,

06:27

Don't get me wrong.

06:28

When I'm drunk at 1 a.m.

06:30

That's the time.

06:31

The uber eats are coming through.

06:31

That's the time and place.

06:33

They're not open at 1 a.m.

Why?

07:11

This is what they recommend.

07:12

To be honest, cheese whiz is good when you're young.

07:14

'Cause you don't know the quality of cheese.

07:16

So we're old.

07:17

I mean, we're old.

07:19

He's like, yeah, we are old.

07:22

Cheers, mate.

07:22

Cheers.

07:31

You got to unhinge your jaw for that.

07:32

Wow.

07:33

Wow.

07:34

Oh my gosh.

07:35

Yeah.

07:35

Wow.

07:36

Okay, okay.

07:36

I see what you mean about it being,

07:38

It's a more sophisticated flavour.

07:39

Well it is.

07:40

It is.

07:41

I need a little fist bump there.

07:42

What cheese is that?

07:43

Cooper Sharp.

07:44

Cooper Sharp.

07:45

I don't know if we have that in the UK.

07:47

It's incredible.

07:48

It's got a different tang to it.

07:51

Which one do you like better?

07:51

This is decadent.

07:52

Yeah.

07:53

It is decadent.

07:54

That is.

07:55

I'm going to crave that.

07:56

Yeah.

07:57

As soon as we get back to London,

07:59

This is what I'm going to miss.

08:00

It's quite simple, isn't it?

08:02

Right?

08:03

If you think it's just like bread,

08:04

High quality meat,

08:05

Wow.

08:06

Onions, cheese.

08:06

That's it.

08:07

They do it right.

08:08

Why is it so simple,

08:10

But so hard to get?

08:11

Yeah.

08:12

Like honestly,

08:13

People in Philly,

08:15

Anytime there's cheese steak outside of Philly,

08:17

Oh yeah.

08:17

We just hate on it.

08:18

Oh really?

08:19

I'm not going to lie.

08:21

That's what I, you know,

08:21

Ah that ain't real Philly cheese steak,

08:23

But how hard is it to get it?

08:26

But people do get it.

08:27

Sometime's you know.

08:28

So Philly's known for cheese steaks.

08:30

It's known for rowdy Eagles fans.

08:33

Go birds.

08:35

You know what I mean?

08:36

It's known for brotherly love,

08:38

I suppose.

08:39

Oh yeah.

08:39

Philadelphia.

08:40

What else should we do while we're here?

08:41

Do you think we're known for our pretzels?

08:42

Pretzels, water ice.

08:43

Water ice.

08:44

Where should we go?

08:45

Water ice.

08:46

We kind of call it like water ice.

08:48

Like we pronounce it water ice.

08:48

Sorry, what?

08:49

Water ice.

08:50

Water ice.

08:51

Yeah.

08:52

Like water ice?

08:53

But isn't ice water?

08:54

I think that's more Asian, no.

08:58

Isn't all ice water?

08:59

Water ice.

09:00

Water ice.

09:01

Oh, it's like sorbet.

09:04

Sorbet is just way more high quality.

09:09

This is simple.

09:10

I mean, it's in the name.

09:10

Water ice.

09:11

And we've heard a lot about wa-was as well.

09:13

Yeah, oh yeah, wa-was are huge.

09:14

Yeah.

09:15

We should check out wah-wah?

09:16

Yeah.

09:18

Hesitation.

09:20

I forget 'cause when Danny comes back to Philly.

09:22

Oh yeah, he misses wa-wa.

09:23

He always go to wa-wa, but for me it's like,

09:25

Going to Korea and be like,

09:26

Hey, wanna go check out 7-Eleven?

09:28

It's like, ah, I guess that's a thing.

09:29

But wa-wa is huge here.

09:31

You forget that we don't have it outside of Korea, okay.

09:33

So if we go to wa-wa, what should we order?

09:34

Hoagies.

09:35

Hoagies.

09:36

Hoagies.

09:36

You know what hoagies are?

09:37

It's a sub sandwich.

09:38

Sub sandwich.

09:39

Like this.

09:41

Without, not cooked.

09:42

Cold cuts.

09:43

Okay.

09:44

So in Philly we call it hoagie.

09:45

I think New York, or other places call it hero or subway.

09:49

And in England we call it sandwich.

09:50

How do you differentiate the sandwich?

09:52

We don't really.

09:52

No, we don't.

09:53

They're all just sandwiches.

09:55

So when someone's like, hey, you want some sandwich?

09:57

How do you know it's gonna be like this or this?

09:59

You don't, you don't.

10:00

You just guess?

10:01

In fairness, in fairness, let's be honest,

10:04

We don't have many good sandwiches in the UK.

10:06

If someone asks for a sandwich, generally.

10:08

Okay.

10:10

Listen.

10:11

If someone, don't you join in.

10:12

Excuse me.

10:14

On behalf of our nation and the king.

10:17

This is the comparison.

10:19

It is a sandwich.

10:20

That's exactly what they're saying.

10:22

We don't call this a sandwich, right?

10:24

No.

10:25

We don't have a word for things like this.

10:27

When you say you want a sandwich in England,

10:28

It's two flat pieces of white toast bread.

10:32

Yeah.

10:33

With maybe some ham and cheese in the middle.

10:34

Some cucumber and cream cheese.

10:36

I mean, it doesn't get that exciting.

10:38

Well, thanks so much, guys.

10:40

Of course.

10:40

Thank you.

10:41

We would never have found this place without you guys.

10:42

Appreciate it, that's incredible.

10:44

Glad you guys liked it.

10:45

I'm glad you guys liked it.

10:46

That was a live memory, right there.

10:48

Yeah.

10:48

My first ever cheese steak.

10:49

Yeah.

10:50

Before cheese steak, we shook hands like this after cheese steak.

10:55

If we tried to, it would have just,

10:57

Just slide straight off.

10:58

If you aren't following Chef Chris Cho, yeah,

11:01

Check him out.

11:02

Some of the best Korean food you'll find in the States.

11:05

Right here.

11:06

Hell yeah.

11:07

And if you haven't come to Philadelphia,

11:08

Angelo's man, that was an incredible cheesesteak.

11:10

Thank you guys for putting Philly on the map too.

11:14

That is, there are plenty of maps on which it features.

11:18

You guys saw that, right?

11:20

Soon as they walked in, they said, "JOLLY!"

11:22

Yeah, that was crazy.

11:23

That was crazy.

11:23

That doesn't happen often.
