pickup is an hour from now and like this guy just got lucky just to get through this is like literally getting tickets to some sort of concert event but now we have the number i guess and you just call in advance all right you drove john's roast fork there's like a line i go up to the window and the dude's like oh you gotta call it in even though i'm there i'm like all right so i call it in can't get through i probably call 50 times before like someone picks up and you gotta put the order in and then they give you time to come pick it up it's [ __ ] crazy the people in the city with their cheese sticks i mean thanks for calling john's roast pork please thanks for calling john's report please do not oh yes yeah can i get uh three cheese steaks with uh onions and american fried onions and american cheese that's fine what is your name dave and then can i get uh one roast pork okay come to the window at 12 45. all right thank you all right perfect thanks thank you bye bye [ __ ] right all right here we go john's rose fork in [ __ ] this happened to me last time i did it i'm old for two eating these things so so this you saw the whole deal i've been waiting like two days for this uh cheesesteak difficult process to order it hopefully it's worth it and again i'm not saying i'm a cheesesteak expert i'm not i'm a pizza expert i put in the time i went to the gym i've done a thousand pizzas this is what my second and third cheesesteak ever the ones i gotta do i did the alessandros john's rose pork beard award winner i thought they only did fancy places uh i got to do angelo's my favorite pizza in the city people say that may have the best uh cheesesteak and i gotta do steve's the prince of stakes those are the ones people say and then genos and pats are the taurus ones but the locals like don't even bother i probably will bother all right let's see what we got and i'm ordering it how i like it this is going to be i don't like whiz i don't even know if they have whiz here i think wiz is garbage it's like cheese whiz i don't like it i'm going with the provolone and fried onions so let's see what we got here looks good and by the way because i'm a nice guy i ordered it from our gambling house like a million of them one bite ever knows the rules john's roast pork that looks [ __ ] great what's up it's really good i like to use steaks as much as the next guy but there's not as much differentiation like hi i could hear you talking about me all right this is better than d los angeles like the alessandro is good this is better what am i gonna put on a scale it's still a little bit of a weird scale a little bit because frankly i don't know where to start also camera guy we don't have frankie here we go kevin who's taller so when i look at the camera i'm looking at your eyes as opposed to the camera it's making me very weird yeah you got gotta put the camera in my eyes so i'm talking to the camera not your face uh i'm gonna go this is what i'm talking about if d'allosandros is how i started the scale i think i gave that a seven eight if that's now the barometer this is like an e3 i'm not saying it's an e3 go but i've set a scale now that i judge everything versus d'alessandro so d'alessandro seven eight this is eight three i also got the roast pork because they call it a roast pork i don't know if i should eat that i'm also gonna weigh a hundred pounds because what i'm noticing unlike a couple bites of pizza i'm eating the whole cheese steak like i'm just sitting here talking eating it next thing you know i'm 400 pounds wearing skinny jeans like a fatso i'm gonna try to find the roast pork real quick all right so here's the roast pork and then the name of the place is roast pork so obviously you gotta give that a shot uh we'll see what we like more the cheese taking the roast pork again not the healthiest way to start a saturday try not to drop it so this is the roast pork with spinach by the way in provolone and what i liked about it when i ordered it they just told me how to get it i'm like rose pork i go spinach provolone right i'm like yeah right give me that nope not my cup of tea much prefer this cheesesteak i mean that's all right i just don't i don't know roast pork no i'll never eat that again that was like a uh no maybe great rough pork not my cup of tea 4-2 on the roast pork cheese steak 8-2 the best i've had in the city uh steve's are coming for you angelos we're coming for you and then we're going to go back to pizza because the cheesesteak's not my thing and philly people like hey why are you rating cheesesteaks because i'm trying to be a philly guy all right chill dude i am the biggest fan i should have knocked my shoulders out before i had to wait two hours i actually left a message for you on facebook man oh i don't check the facebook yeah we tried the pork i like the cheese steak yeah well it's kind of an acquired taste yeah you know but see that's what my grandfather started in 1930 with the pork yeah he's just so important to people with a wooden shack right here you know so what what percentage of people get the pork versus the cheesesteak it used to be like five to one on the floor to state yeah it's kind of like one to one even more two states now since like see i left school my dad got lung cancer and i was in my third year of city joe's but i was like a psychology degree i wanted to be a sports psychologist all right but uh three years you know you're a long way from yeah even any month yeah no i hear this place i mean this place is yeah like it's a nice family right my 87 year old mom is still my boss oh yeah yeah yeah yeah that's my wife making sandwiches you know right i knew you were in the area i saw wow yeah i saw the dallas piece you know and like you know i learned from the owner of pat stakes frankie alvarez like just played star mistakes yep and like we became friends and like we're all kind of friends you know like it's like he taught me like rising you know ships like yeah yeah so ours is a little different like we don't offer cheese whiz you know south america so i'm not a big fan of jesus you know yeah no so i thought it was provolone no i like american cheese but yeah i don't know what you got i think i ordered american and they gave me pro they said you light provolone i thought three cheese steaks with uh onions and american fried onions american cheese and you want three cheese steaks you want me to make it one more no i i i wait what which one it looks like a little bit of shark forever yeah so i said america and then they said you want [ __ ] because i like americans all right we'll get a special one we're gonna get a special or whatever the guy wants a special one we'll go only because like really i tell everyone get america all right because it overpowers the state all right all right let me take care all right all right so we're waiting now on a special maid from the owner of the place that's gonna give me american i thought i ordered american and they told me to do provolone whatever we'll wait we've got a special one coming out is this the special this is the uh the ford this is the way john's dad is i already had the pool you had the port i bought the pool how'd you get it with uh it was provolone and spinach this is uh mustard raw onions but i didn't like the pork no not for the pork people yeah he told me you have to try it this way [ __ ] it the guy's telling me to try it this way i already said i don't want the pork what is on this uh mustard raw onions and seed and pepper well i don't like my mustard so we're off in a good start but to tell me i like the raw onions actually it works together so no this is good like i'm not a huge poor guy but this is better than the way i got it which is what with the spinach and sharp which is what your people recommend i wouldn't eat it with this minute and sharp well then i mean the person the person will answer the phone i said pork they said with spinach and provolone right that's how most people get it i wouldn't eat it like that though and then can i get uh one roast pork orange this is better than i like it your way yeah that's the way uh john's father used to eat it so who's the guy was talking to before that was john john all right so they're all named john uh he's it was his uh grandfather's business uh he was dominic he owned it and then his father was john and now john this one's made out of american cheese and but we make them all out of love you know it's just yours with sharper blonde it's not good i don't like it so well but then uh here's my question when i called i said american and they said you mean provo they switched my order yeah but listen you know you see the line all the way down so you know this one's made out of oh they're all made they're always like this one's got a little listen of course but i don't want anyone to think you know i know you saw that you know same
