i'm gonna be hanging out with my friend jael jupiter from philadelphia and we're gonna take you on the ultimate food tour of the reading terminal market of philadelphia that waterfall of meat juice it's cascading i know philadelphia does not need me to say this i'm just going to go ahead and say it uh philadelphia is the sandwich capital not just of the united states but of the world and not only the sandwich capital the juicy sandwich capital of the world juicy sandwich capital of the world you heard it first philly philly you know how to do sandwiches jail jupiter what's up man how are you feeling good good how are you feeling good getting started yep you guys get some rest oh yeah ready for another big day of food at the market i feel good the market is a plethora of things here for anybody to try so let's get inside and we're here right in the morning at about 8 30 a.m just almost as they open so i think this is a great time to arrive too before it gets too busy to start eating absolutely parking is horrendous so get get here early man cool all right oh sorry [Music] so immediately step into the market i can already smell the aroma of smoking meats there's almost everything in this market from seafood to meat to market produce to everything that you can imagine cooked and ready to eat [Music] we're just gonna do a little loop around the market first this is the type of food market you need to get your bearings before you start eating at and then we'll decide on what to on our plan of action but as we're doing that just a little bit of history about the reading terminal market it dates back to 1893. it has had its ups and downs through the history of philadelphia but today it remains strong it's uh right in the downtown right in the heart of philadelphia and it's one of the greatest places for you for me as food lovers this is one of the greatest single markets in america to just eat everything that you see i think we're going to head over for breakfast first breakfast that's probably at the morning right now walking around that's the most popular place in the whole market right now for breakfast so we're on our way to the dutch eating place didn't take long you have to wait for a seat but it didn't take long just five minutes and we got some bar counter i'd love to have full bar counter seats here what do you think in jail i'm just doing after dumplings that's one of the most famous things here is the apple dumplings apple dumplings we better try the scrapple scrapple is also famous here i'm gonna also do bacon egg and cheese with grape jelly if they have great juice nice take it over for the 99 in the 2000's i'll get the two eggs platter with scrapple please how do you want your eggs sunny side up it has amish pennsylvania dutch roots and they have the full breakfast menu spread starting off with a coffee and jayla got some orange juice that's that fresh squeeze right there that's not no concentrate breakfast is uh coffee is a little on the weak side but that's good because it's my second cup of coffee this morning i already had one we used to have strong stuff man i'm okay with that yeah oh yeah yeah thank you very much the bacon jam and the scrap why don't you get the dumpling for you thank you very much oh nice thank you so much finally what we were waiting for the apple dumpling topped with a mountain of whipped cream they supposed to have the best fragrance oh yeah yeah there's scrapple has won awards here that's right and jail got a little side of the scrapple too on that oh man it's so crispy on the outside and it kind of feels like gooey gooey and meaty on the inside maybe mix that in with the eggs get some of that scrapple going like a pro now okay this is my second time to try scrapple scrapple is the scraps of the pig so it's all sorts of parts and pieces of the pig which have been ground up which have been mixed with flour yeah don't ask no questions just eat it like coffee that's good oh dude is it better getting used to it now that's some award-winning scrapbook right there it is it's like a combination of a piece of gooey toast filled with meat all in one patty that's fried in crispy ollie the same diamond gooey on the inside i like your technique that's a difference it's definitely scrapple but they do something different i don't know if they sprinkle some sugar on the crust or what it's crispy super crispy and they do have some tabasco on the table too which hit that with a little bit of tabasco the eggs the scrapple i think what's the best thing about that scrapple is how crispy it is on the outside let that yolk run a little bit more of that tabasco on there oh wow i'm gonna say that scrapple is probably not my favorite breakfast meat but it is definitely unique it's something that you have to try it's pretty good too special order the bacon the jam the omelette it's grilled worms it's one of my favorite things grape jelly or any type of jelly on a breakfast sandwich just brings it up a notch so you ready to do this ready all right man let's go you can see the the layer of jam in there too oh there's bacon is there bacon jam in here too i think she called it bacon jam cheers man [Music] oh wow oh that's the order right there man that is so good like the crispiness of the bacon it's so crispy they've rendered out all of that fat so you've got the pure condensed crispy flavor of the bacon they didn't over jam it so it's not too sweet but it's just that slight fruitiness to contrast the saltiness of the bacon wow sweet salty savory all the above man this is uh this is bringing the heat this morning all right only have a little bit of a sandwich left to even put tabasco in there i'll try some that's another dimension of flavor so the whipped cream kind of melted as we were eating the breakfast but that's not going to change the flavor it's kind of like an apple pie but made in a dumpling shape so there's pastry wrapped around the entire circumference of the apples inside with whipped cream on top and then just the juices are oozing that like caramely apple juice glaze [Music] is that a game over moment it's a game over moment for jl he had to get up and walk around [Laughter] served with a little fresh cream on the side which we didn't even we didn't even notice yup served warm but now once you get into the inside you'll get more into those apples big chunks of apples now that i look at it it's not slices of apple it's an entire apple that's just soft and tender and oozy oozy goosey right in the center what an apple dumpling creation if you take your first bite and have to stand up to get out of your chair you know it's on the next level home run that was a walk off right there let's move on let's continue with this food tour of the market [Music] should we please have two pastramis and one reuben [Music] wow look at how thin that is hand sliced [Music] jl and i decided to get one pastrami and one reuben and then we'll each have a half of each so we get the best of both sandwiches is it corned beef corned beef okay so this is for the reuben oh look at how wiggly it is it jiggles again same drill hand slice it to perfection so many different layers of the meat that goes into the bread for the reuben oh man it's just dripping with juice oh man nice lift up that lid oh man [Music] that is beautiful thing that's a beautiful thing oh man that stack that is a stack of meat [Music] oh man so much meat between two slices of rye yeah i bet if you were to just squeeze down on the sandwich oil and juices would just squeeze out a waterfall of meat juice i already know how to stay this is bomb this game changing to me oh wow that is the meat meat sandwich of your dreams it's so tender it's so smoky all of that pepper crush the dressing the cheese the coleslaw it's all into just a harmony of happiness between two slices of rye it's so much meat that ratio i'm happy that he's happy look he's making my day right now i'm gonna chase that with a pickle what i love about the pickle is it kind of breaks down the the fattiness of the meat the richness of the meat because the meat is so it's so incredibly rich you need that freshness of the pickle the acidity moving on to sandwich number two this is the reuben that corned beef look at the way it's just those layers there has to be ten ten layers of corned beef in there there's layers to this game all right a massive massive meat sandwich after that first half i'm already starting to experience the morning meat sweats all right oh yeah um oh yeah the tenderness of that corned beef i love the sourness of it right from the bread or that sauerkraut that's sauerkraut in there i like the corn beef because it's less fatty i think it almost has a crumbly texture which is incredible falls apart falls apart look at if you get a close-up look at that you can see it's just like flaky delicious though incredible yeah both sandwiches are equally outstanding oh yeah the meat the meat is hitting me hard in the morning ma'am that's that morning meat i'm telling you yo that was that morning meat hit different they're not joking around there you know it's bad but you just gotta you can't even sit right in your seat you kind of gotta lean back and ease it oh yeah you know that's how you keep it i'm glad you keep it all moving pushing it down i'm glad these food court chairs have a little bit of sway a little bit of lean back action you can just feel your body starting to slow down with every bite [Music] highly recommended that was outstanding two back to back extraordinary meat stack sandwiches those are not light by any stretch of the imagination everyone say hi to philbert the mascot [Music] uh can we just get one pretzel please thank you very much oh man you picked that up it's fresh it's hot you feel the softness of it but you can see that crust that wash on the top oh that texture it's all about that bottom that's where the flavor is yeah miller's twist oh yeah oh yeah that's wonderful super fresh right out of the oven all the the texture of it perfect gumminess plus crispy bottom philly pretzels though mark you probably like it more because you have the hot mustard that you can put on top this is no hot mustard this is a straight up like a sweet type of buttery sweet type of pretzel oh you taste that butter that butter that salt i think what stands out is the freshness sally make it here that's good really good ying and mike i want to try basset ice cream and it dates back to 1861 i believe it's one of the first ice cream companies in the united states maybe i'll just try a bite i think like one bite of ice cream would be perfect right now jl you want an ice cream no okay thank you all right thank you very much wow thank you you too that's seriously massive ice cream that's the single scoop that is a massive single scoop we got strawberry ice [Applause] oh and cream great ice cream here oh my god very good ice cream extremely creamy that's the full cream the real deal ice cream they've been doing it since 1861. they know a few things about ice cream jl what are you feeling next let's see here we had her shows already we've had um what did we do we had the pretzel we had breakfast pretzel what's up bro what's happening thank you thank you um ice cream i skipped i'm not too much of a ice cream person we're going to do denix roast pork the legendary roast pork sandwich oh yeah uh one roast pork please cheese yes peppers are green yes please powder sweet hot broccoli rabe's good yep rob this time we're gonna try broccoli raw ah that comes on with the roast pork okay and you come over to the end of the line here you can just see those massive roast pork chunks hunks of roast pork they're slicing it up fresh it gets like fully juiced and then they put it into your roll into the bun with some of the broccoli with some of the meat juices is just dripping with meat juice [Music] i love how they re-juice it at the end with a full spoonful of that pork broth you can just see it seeping nothing dry that is a total wet soggy delicious sandwich look at that it's it's so heavy [Laughter] oh man yo we're getting lucky today mark the first time for vegetables in philadelphia long hot so we got the broccoli raw that's the best way to get it what is it called broccoli rice broccoli rabe broccoli rabe the stem okay it's amazing how the the juices of the meat have just soaked in i mean that whole little of broth into the bread it absorbs it you got a little bit of sogginess but the the roll holds up again bulging bulging oh oh fast pick it up and put it back in good flavor profile you got that yeah bitterness of the chili which is wonderful that's like the perfect sogginess that you want too to the point where everything just melts together yet it holds its shape still wow that's good something about the bitterness for me and this sandwich does it for me something different you know yup would that be typical or is that something special about here typical if you get the broccoli okay brisket wow oh man awesome as we were just showing off the close-ups of this sandwich he brought over the brisket the brisket sandwich and we didn't order the brisket sandwich but as we were standing in line there was a guy who said brisket sandwich here the best sandwich in philly i mean that's what that's what he said and so they're slicing up the brisket there he just brought us over a brisket sandwich to try oh that's very nice of them huge thank you the knicks but let me just take one more bite of this real fast [Music] generally you want to try that brisket brisket oh man the brisket oh dude that waterfall of meat juice yeah you can feel that that's a different type of bread it's more sturdy it's almost more like a baguette of crispy top oh that brisket that is juicy we already saw that cascading meat juice cheers the gravy was sitting at the bottom that was the bite and the bread seems to be definitely different even more someone got a big beefy taste beef experience two just ground breaking changes to be honest you can't make a bad decision they're both outstanding going back to that pork it's still an engineering feat to be able to fit that much porky that much juicy brothy pork into a roll and let it like hold up i'm holding it with two fingers and nothing is falling out it's not collapsing [Music] starting to move like a sloth slow movements uh philadelphia food sits heavy on you man the meat juices of philly are out of control i think both jl and i are not that hugely into sweets so rather than finish the food tour with sweets we've decided specifically come to dinners dinner's barbecued chicken since 1980 all the aromas coming out of here there's seasoned chicken there's chicken wings there's this amazing rotisserie box where the chicken wings just like shuffle around in a rotisserie ferris wheel we've taken the chicken wings we're coming outside man this is like one of those moments when you you know when you exit the theater in the middle of the afternoon and it's like coming out into the bright daylight that's exactly what will happen to you when you spend an entire half a day or an entire day which is very easy to do you can just get carried away doing circles of food within the market it's an amazing place feels great to come outside though and we're gonna eat these last chicken wings which are very very popular ah outside somewhere [Music] we got two different types of wings the smoked and the rotisserie see what we get first oh i think these are the smoked oh look at that stickiness wow oh that glaze they're shining glistening [Music] oh that just they're so tender right off the bone it's like that yeah it's like the skin has melted into the chicken the skin is one with the meat kind of paprika-y a little peppery oh that's flavorful it's sticky in all the right places i know this is ready watch this just bones just slide out that was effortless literally the skin melts right off now here we go so this one is the what maybe these are the smoked no the first the one we just had was rotisserie these are smoked here's your smoked okay it's got to be smoked so i think we had the rotisserie yes these are probably a smoke [Music] oh yeah [Music] it's good the first one was better though yeah smoke is good but the rotisserie that's like one of the better rotisserie wings you'll ever have and with that wing we're tapping out it's probably the most i've ever ate in the last two days i know this is my initiation process or what to get it to the next level but i'm gonna do whatever it takes man what do you think about this i absolutely love it what stood out to me as a visitor to philadelphia it's right in downtown one of the top tourist activities is walking around the market but what i like about it is i think because the food is so good and they've maintained that standard locals can also love it and appreciate it when they're in this area too so it's not not only is it a tourist attraction where like people say oh it's a tourist attraction it really is a preservation of the history the culinary history and diversity of philadelphia what another wonderful food day in philadelphia though we're tapping out yeah
