LEGENDARY Lechon! BRONX Night Market & REAL Little Italy of New York | ULTIMATE BRONX Food Tour!

um [Music] good morning you know throughout the years i've done videos all around new york new jersey but there are actually two boroughs in new york i've never done videos in so if you guys don't know there are five boroughs that make up new york city there's queens brooklyn bronx manhattan and staten island i've actually never filmed videos in in staten island or in the bronx and i've always heard about this amazing food scene in the bronx so i started doing my research and guess what i found there is a night market in the bronx also a lechon place that only opens saturday and sunday so today i'm gonna go get some lachang gonna go get some chopped cheese which is something else i've never had and then go into a night market [Music] first stop of the day my first chopped cheese sandwich i really can't believe i lived in new york so long i never had a chopped cheese sandwich before where have i been seriously so what i know about the sandwich is that it's kind of like new york's answer to the philly cheesesteak and there's a lot of versions of where it actually came from but most people agree came from right there that's where it all started let's go all right chopped cheese time jessie is here with her sister michelle hi all of us never had chopped cheese ever let's try this out that's one with everything so it's got hot sauce mail and of course on a delightfully looking hero this looks good ready mmm how did i live in new york all these years and not have one so this is what really makes makes us different than like a philly cheesesteak it's ground beef inside it's like they diced up maybe even a burger i think that's actually one of the stories of how i got started was someone you know chopped up a burger and put it in here i wish there was more hot sauce in this because i could use more spice and more acid other than that it's so cheesy so meaty the bread is absolutely delicious crunch on the lettuce is nice the slight juice from the tomatoes is awesome [Music] the hero is awesome the sesame on top of that nice and toasty on the outside super soft inside i do want a day on this i know how to make this better i'll be right back all right just got some hot sauce for us louisiana hot sauce that's what's so great about new york city there's a bodega in every single corner if you need some hot sauce buy some hot sauce that's awesome oh that's really good i think next time i could we could just ask for like extra hot sauce on the sandwich yourself that probably would save a lot more time and effort all right once we're done eating our next food place right across the street check this out right there that's where we're getting the lachon [Music] hello wow angel nice to meet you man you're making empanadas right now yeah okay i'm gonna

a triple bam going into this dish so good and it just burns you in all the right places where jesse try this oh jesse you might die it's spicy it's really spicy i wish we still had that chopped cheese so we could dip it in there that would have been the best thing to do chopped cheese into the sauce this might be an unexpected but probably fantastic new york city union this calls for a celebration because this marriage just produced something beautiful [Music] masterpiece masterpiece style check this is what you guys do in the south bronx right now we're doing this you put garlic and hot sauce

getting fit picks today really freaking good that's crispy yeah my favorite thing you know after that first pick we had this morning i'm like i don't even want to look another pit because what could be better than that those are really good what's up buddy it's really good good choice if these tacos are half as good as the crispy pig we just put in our mouth this would be a tremendous treat oh this is a giant taco by the way [Music] this is like a full meal just unhinge your jaw a little bit this is so good this is so good heck to the yes how tender that pork meat is from the belly with the fat and the tomatoes are so sweet i thought i couldn't eat any more pork today the meat is just on another level of tenderness you usually don't get tacos made with crispy thick skin the skin is so crispy meat it's salty that contrast it just shocks you haven't been to any semblance of a marker or a night market for such a long time drunk snack market all these food all together for you i love coming to places like this because you can eat so much different things all right we're gonna go check out arthur avenue that's another area i've been hearing so much about in the bronx never been there ready for some ravioli let's go ravioli that's the place we're going to get sandwiches we're just chilling across the street getting some coffee some tea and this is arthur avenue have you been to arthur avenue before never it's really cool right so nice probably the biggest little italy in new york city it's definitely way bigger than little italy in manhattan my daily affigato [Music] it's really good actually this is the most italian thing in asian thing to order an affigato and then at the same time order a hot tea like this is just the most random thing to do asians we don't want anything sweetener we don't we just we want it not sweet got some hot sausage got some cheddar uh jalapeno whoa look at this this is really cool it's like beautiful market yeah let's go let's go take a look [Music] that's a cool market it's really crowded but that's pretty cool little market yo i really like arthur avenue this is a little italy you know like fun this is an actual really italian neighborhood this is much better than a little italy in manhattan oh this is it this is the sandwich place i lie out the door for the sandwich place i heard this is the best all right this is the place to get ravioli that's the word on the street and by street i mean google we each got ravioli i got the squid ink i got the spinach and basil noodles oh pasta sorry oh madonna bakery so we got this sandwich that everyone was raving about oh it's the mozzarella cheese that was dripping that looks so freaking good this is a monster of a sandwich and it's just layer upon layers look at a massive layer of fresh mozzarella look at that roasted pepper last sandwich of the [Music] day the sandwich upside down so the top of the bread doesn't cut your mouth did it cut your mouth a little bit it had the captain crunch effect maybe that's like captain crunch's italian cousin so i got cut this morning by the chopped cheese a little bit they're so freaking good mozzarella wow wow we've been eating all that just kind of renewed my hunger for food you know what happens when you flip it upside down the flavor profile becomes kind of different as well i mean this thing is smoky got such a great creamy texture from the mozzarella the pork is tender the balsamic provides such great acidic at the same time like umami isk punch wow everything we ate today we had really good luck with the chance today we had a beautiful lachan from angel which is just mind-blowingly amazing and then we weren't even going to get it but as we were walking on night market they offered us the suckling pig taco mind-blowing as well also it's so fun walking around arthur avenue so many places to explore if you love italian food again little italy i feel like compared to this it's just like the trendy touristy area but this is more like where italians will come to it's almost like flushing and manhattan china's now there's a mouse rush so wanna try the cannoli are you a fan of cannolis i like a really good cannoli it's really good it's actually really good i think if i like cannolis in general more this would be like mind-blowing for me but it's really good cannoli even for someone who's not really into cannolis it's a really good cannoli i don't like things that are overly sweet i think this is really good i like it a lot my fitting finish to like fun day in the bronx there's so much to explore here go to the bronx zoo which is amazing botanical gardens both places i haven't been before but well we'll be back for that i'll be back for that but this is awesome i want to come back to arthur avenue again just kind of walk around explore around just have more time to just hang out maybe without a camera that'd be kind of fun too sorry i can't take you guys everywhere all right i'm gonna go home she's gonna go home i'll see you later at home with the ravioli [Music] do [Music] so [Music] just got home couldn't wait to cook up this ravioli i put a cheddar jalapeno sausage in here as well to kind of eat with the ravioli i don't eat italian food all that often i don't think you guys see many italian videos for me i love italian food i love pasta i love ravioli oh that's amazing anyway i love all this stuff but i don't eat it much because if i did my transformation into a human dumpling would accelerate by 10 volts but i love this food it's missing something though mike's crispy garlic oil [Music] it's so happy the jalapeno sauce is just pure perfection especially when it's mixed in with the cheesy ravioli and this thing i mean this thing is stuffed you eat all that with the crispy garlic chili oil gives it an additional burn and just a perfect compliment this has been such a fun day getting to try chopped cheese for the first time tasting a la chan that's a perfect 10 out of 10. going to a fun night market in the daytime and of course exploring arthur avenue just a little bit just a picture-perfect food day if there ever was one and i think best of all in addition to all the great food i was able to meet some of the most genuinely nice wonderful people i've ever met in new york and that just put an exclamation mark to an already pretty perfect food day as always i strongly encourage you guys to try out these amazing places i went to today they are listed in the description box below for you thank you all so much for watching until we eat again
