This dude is definitely a lil bit autistic, this wouldn't be such a lovely training video for how to run a kitchen well if that weren't the case😂
“Both Spanish and English” wow🤌
There's nothing better than a perfect sandwich.
Why does anyone need a 2-pound sandwich that's aaaaaaalotttt
That chopped style is not for me. Looks like slop
Ugh. This looks like slop between boring bread. On the other hand, Salvo in Ridgewood Queen's makes beautiful Italian sandwiches with love and the freshest ingredients that you can identify.
They look amazing!
SHOUTOUT JOSE!!!
❤🤟🙏💪🙌🔥
“Perfect bite” if texture doesn’t matter at all to you

If you dice a cutlet, wouldn’t it be more likely to fall out?

$18 for a wrap jeez

THE POLAR BEER

I’m English and I’ve never had branston pickle with beef
Amazing Video!
Is it consider to be pricey in US for a sandwich? Since 18 dollar can feed you restaurant grade sandwich the whole family here in my country 😂
I gained 2kg by watching this
These sandwiches look great! On my list when I'm next in NYC!
18 dollars for a snack, only for millionaires I guess.
GD 18 bucks for one sandwich! Here in the Netherlands I pay 6/7 bucks for a sandwich like that.
What is that beautiful timepiece on his wrist?
wow thats impressive looking sandwiches
I think also by chopping it that way it's easier to weigh ,correct ?
Selling baby food style of sandwiches. How do you insure people get every ingredient? When you’re buying cold cut you know how many slices you’re getting. Here it’s just lottery every time.
Management isn top notch 🤌
Omg I wish I could go
Its very refreshing to see alot more Eleven Madison Park employees leaving to fulfill their own dreams. While the restaurant is top tier I feel the real working employment side of it is heavy and not a place you want to stay long term..
can a white boy hablo a little espanol energy
as a former sandwich maker; bravo
I love this, however… no customization?
2:30 he has been through it. 😢
