Today we’ll be showing you New York’s most popular and outrageous deli sandwiches that are taking social media by storm we’ll try them all and let you know if they live up to the hype here we go [Music]
I got Greg Native New Yorker back on the channel we’re starting at Dad’s Deli here in Hollis Queens and the line already is down the block Greg you ready for this oxtail Mac padding oh yeah never
Eaten anything quite like this in the combinations I mean I love oxtail of mac and cheese grew up eating patties but combined together sounds crazy let’s see what the hype’s all about Let’s do an
Oxtail Mac Patty go Curry Mac Patty jerk chicken back Patty all right I got you though my uncle and auntie make these fresh patties for us deliver them every day this is going to be like the
Oxtail right here we shred it so there’s no bones every bite is like you’re taking a bite of a whole dinner Presley the goat is way better than this one but this is the one that went viral because
Everybody loves oxtail and these are our three best patties right here to me our goat our jerk and our oxtail so Josh is about to let all the people who’ve been waiting outside for like an
Hour in because they ran out before it’s like this every day here they’re that popular check this out foreign people from all over New York coming to get the Patty but the girl from the UK has came
I got people coming from Jamaica Barbados like such an amazing feeling that I have people all over the world coming to try something I created all right so Greg and I are going to try the most viral sandwich they have the oxtail and this is just Making Waves over social media I would
Say dad’s deli’s probably the most popular Deli in New York right now for social media purposes what do you think I think so too I’ve been seeing it everywhere we’ve got a beef patty with cheese and we’ve got mac and cheese on top oxtail extra gravy surrounded by cocoa bread
This is an insane hybrid here and the Patty is homemade too which I think really is going to add an interesting touch to it let’s do this so you got the oxtail on top little spicy and all
The juices just soaked in with the cocoa bread this sandwich is honestly just bragging this is a messy delicious sandwich the soft cocoa bread the fresh Patty freshly made Patty Mac and Cheese adds that little extra but the oxtail is really to start I think the cocoa bread really brings it
All together that soft cocoa bread is amazing now you grew up in Queens you said that West Indian food cocoa bread beef patties all this stuff you had oh yeah so even like as a kid I
Always love eating patties either it’s at home or at the pizza shops where you would get it they would cut it open and add mozzarella cheese if you like pepperoni that’s what the owner he
Said he likes it that way best I think it’s just taking to a whole nother level here with the West Indian flavors bodegos and delis like this one are really getting a lot of attention we’re in
The past it was just something that was local to you you could tell that there’s a lot of care and love is put into this this Deli came about because I really wanted to open up a restaurant so people
Could taste my dad’s food I first originally made the Mac Patty one night after work and when I cut it open it looks so appealing and I told my sister I’m like post this on the business
Page and let’s see if people are gonna come for it the next day I open a girl walked in and she bought a Mac Patty and then after that a bunch of influencers came to start trying the original Mac
Patty and one day a girl came in here and she asked for oxtail gravy on it and then the guy behind her was like Hey can you do that too for mine and I was like yeah we got something here
And then I told my aunties and uncle that I need veggie patties I need the shrimp patties I need chicken patties we’re about to start trying to make a goat Patty that’s incredible as much as
I like the oxtail I think the curry gold I like it even better why do you think the oxtail took off all that gravy on top you know social media sandwiches that are very like dripping liquid kind
Of like that they always blow up like Oozy eggs things like that so I’m not surprised jerk chicken’s phenomenal a little spicier than the oxtail I personally like the oxtail a little bit better but I mean you can’t go wrong with any of these three picks here this definitely might be
The best sandwich I’ve ever had at a deli in New York City Greg what do you think top five for you oh absolutely I’m a huge fan of West Indian food take it to another level with Bolder flavors and
Just a lot of love put into it I love what’s going on here I love what he’s doing it’s like so many people say when they get off of JFK this is one of their first stops they come to because it’s so
Close and the food is so good you know I always tell people try Pizza when you first get to the city I say try that’s deli first that would be a really cool move try something different you know
Yeah from the new school to the old school we’ve got the sandwich king of Astoria Sal Chris and Charlie’s Astoria Legends just been here for as long as I can remember I grew up in Astoria it’s been here for many very many years uh go-to spot for your classic
Deli sandwiches very popular Blue Collar work is you have cops construction workers Peppers that’s the first thing I know it’s definitely peppers right still one bomb everything everything yeah look at that three pounds I’ve been told oh man dude feel this [Music]
Sandwich is three quarters of a pound basically each piece is a sandwich for 17 I actually I think it’s a great value we’ve got thinly sliced ham turkey roast beef pastrami moradella pepperoni provolone cheese American cheese lettuce tomato onions
Hot and sweet roasted Peppers Mayo mustard olive oil and vinegar I lost count of how many ingredients we just had there crazy we’re talking about social media I saw one Tick Tock that labeled this the most aggressive sandwich in New York City I don’t know it’s like
Organized chaos I can make this at home you wouldn’t be able to make it like this I don’t know how you’re gonna get all this in one bite we could certainly try yeah let’s take a bite I can’t even tell you what I just had but it was basically like putting an entire
Deli into one bite like mixing every cold cut you’ve ever heard of like the amount of meat and cheese is very heavy but I like this you do get that creaminess of the Mayo in there you get the crunchy Peppers it just works well they created this before social media was really
A thing this isn’t something that they just came up with because they want new people to come they’re like an established spot Astoria oh yeah so they open at five you can either be a responsible adult going to work or you can be a degenerate after going out partying all night
And get one of these and I’ll hit the spot and you said you did it last summer right this was like surprisingly satisfying right now actually this is the second time I’ve had this
And this is way better than I remember right best way to eat this my opinion take it home have a plate get a fork and knife ready for the end of it this is tough to hold together what do you think I
Think I’m just lucky I had this end piece here so it’s kind of staying together a little bit better what makes a sandwich really special too is the bread which is perfectly crispy but not too hard
It really holds it together with this much inside it absorbs all the sauce all the meat and cheese really well this is the reason why they are the Sandwich King of Astoria they are they’re Pros
All right so Greg is my go-to food Insider in New York City and if you want some of his knowledge take his Queen’s street food tour link Down Below in the description he will show you some of the
Best spots in Jackson Heights Queens it’s like eating all over the world give it a look love to have you come join me please love the whole shoot around Jackson Heights [Music] foreign another new school spot here notable in Astoria just a mile from our last stop and they are famous
Right now the Jamaican Fusion sandwiches that already sounds incredible I love Jamaican food let’s see what these food sandwiches are all about blowing up right now on social blowing up all right let’s just tell how new this is but you looked up there and you saw something that
I didn’t even think about the Velar that’s the old entry back in the day I like how that the whole 30th Ave Christmas tree they even have team that’s a Jamaican soda grapefruit soda good stuff foreign
I used to work in the hospital work in the hospital for like 18 years to hang on a year every day A friend of mine used to own a store before so when he decided I didn’t want to do
It anymore me and a very close friend of mine Jeff we don’t want this space to go to waste so we both just came together keep the American Deli but just a little Fusion
On it lived in a story all his life I grew up in Jamaica so we just Blended the two and you know the notable was born what’s the impact been of social media in bringing you a lot of
Business listen man hungry artists Johnny eats I’m no lights probably a 50 jump in business since Johnny and Justin came people came from Boston everybody comes from one Island Brooklyn the whole New York City didn’t get to support us it’s been pretty good and they’re letting
Us try a little bit of the oxtail Empanada before we eat our sandwich it looks amazing but now this nice and crispy nice flavor in the oxtail very juicy and tender I was about to say
I don’t know where I like more of the Empanada itself or the oxtail both are fantastic my mom made us learn how to cook she showed us how to do the jerk chicken I love cocoa bread and I
Love roasted red peppers so I’ll just threw that in there and that’s how the German shop was born foreign I think that KFC and Jamaica have the best chicken and The Best Coleslaw thousand island dressing has that sweet taste and the coleslaw has that sweet taste so we just put
Coleslaw and the jerk chicken together so you know you have the sweet and a little bit of spicy with the jerk chicken look how much meat is in here it’s on that cocoa bread the cocoa
Bread’s very soft but it’s been pressed down on a panini press it’s got those marks on top jerk chicken legitimately one of my most favorite things to eat in the world let’s give it a shot mmm chicken is very smoky and you’ve got that jerk sauce on top I love that cocoa
Bread though it’s just so soft and spongy you mix that all together it was a little crunchy peppers in there got a nice bit of heat in here I love so instead of chopped up steak we’ve got oxtail with a jack cheese peppers a secret menu item they only have oxtail Philly
Cheesesteak and oxtail quesadillas available on Thursdays this is just calling my name right now um it’s just so much softer than your typical Philly cheesesteak with a cocoa bread and the oxtail a little spicy got the peppers oh a very interesting
Play on the Philly cheesesteak and one that I really like a lot also important to note we are standing outside of notable no table no tables here we’re standing and eating Good Eats no seats Greg mentioned before how they have a lot of Jamaican drinks in
There we’re trying this uh sorrel drink this reminds me of a Jamaica I’ve had in Mexico is the Hibiscus flower a bit of Ginger really nice it goes perfectly with sandwiches instead of Word of Mouth I think it’s just like sharing an Instagram reel or a YouTube video if you like
My videos do share them with people and say check this spot out and notable I mean they are notable all right for having incredible sandwiches and you were telling me that not so easy to find Jamaican food in Astoria right nearly impossible until the spot opened up the versus the story of Jackson
Heights area is we did not really have West Indian food but now it’s a Jamaican spot right here in Astoria definitely be back if you enjoyed watching this video you should head here next where we visit spots like cats Joe’s Pizza the classics and tell you if they’re worth it head here

Scroll back up and smash that like button if this video got you hungry!
new yorkers really eat diarrhea between buns
CURRY GOAT! IT IS CURRY GOAT NOT GOAT CURRY!!!!
Was is NY 2 weeks ago, enjoyed the food but the cheese over there is shockingly bad, disgusting.
Step 1: Get Ox Tail
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
ah shitload of calories, no thanks.
If you can't get everything on the sandwich in one bite,there's too much sandwich.
look at all the garbage all over the street, fuck living in that dump and paying a shit ton to do so lmao
Why is a Hindu selling Jamaican food??????
just know, today with all the weakness everywhere especially in men, if you label anything at all as “aggressive”, i immediately peg you as weak and i refuse to protect you. good day.
need to stop watching these. It makes me hungry again even though I just ate.
this is a deli that is for the community. this is the sorta place that will look out for you. love it.
Yo where OCK AT?!?!
Love Your Youtube Page, I be Drooling On My keyboard Though lol….Keep Up The good Work Guy's, Both Pages!!!
You forgot about CRISTINAS IN WHITESTONE
He created? He ain’t no Jamaican food!
We need a chopped cheese place in LA. There’s none to my knowledge? Someone please tell me if there is lol
I’ve never been to New York
Please bring this to Miami
To answer your question, it's because there's a silent depression and it's the best value you can get in terms of a quick meal that isn't a plate of Chinese rice lol
goyim are easily impressed
The majority of these looks gross. Especially #2
no place like this exists in the uk i would love to try these sandwiches, especially the goat curry! looks yummy!
ive never heard so much talk about OXTAIL in my entire life
the ocky way?
why is it called coco bread
That;s crazy you didn't go to cristinas. 0_0
Jimmy Johns will make the one in the middle of the vid for you if you just ask them to add all that on.
Love to see Jamaica representing so hard!
that patty spot is god tier
Why are titles so OBSESSED with hyperbole, exaggeration and generalisation?
That sum minority sandwich lolz all that’s missing is sum government cheese
what's th point to have so many different things in a sandwitch! You should feel the taste of each product and focus on the quality, not just quantity!
Bro finna going take down the king chopped chesse shawndich for the crown 😅
Lol so many black people in one place yet all standing quietly in a line and not mob stealing. Oh wait it's a black run business xD
I don't know how I feel knowing you are getting rich off my culture and food. Culture appropriation. STOP IT. LEAVE JAMAICAN FOOD TO THE JAMAICANS
this is awesome for these small local business owners!
I want that Jerk
We Real, non-hipster, new yorkers aren't!!!!!!!!!
Really looks delicious 😋
Had datz deli. I wasn't a fan at all.
Southside here. Dipped to the A a few years ago. Definitely hitting this spot up when I go back home to Visit.
Okay Datz Deli!!!! ❤❤ ❤❤
new york sucks
Born and raised New Yorker here and I must say that it’s a bit overwhelming how many good food spots there are here.
I’ve been here all of my life and still have yet to touch the surface of all of the amazing restaurants here.
Fun fact: You can go to a new restaurant in NYC everyday for 74 years straight!
Immigrant worship food.
It’s about time someone recognizes Queens has great food too. Not sure why people think Brooklyn is the only place to eat!
Edit – Datz is not close to JFK, so don’t think you’re going to walk here.
Anytime the bread crunches , you have a winner!
semi crap. ha. just hype to a point.
This is why NYC is my favorite….all time favorite City to visit, because there will always be things in NYC that you wouldn't see and/or try anywhere else!!!! Respect 💯
