@@joshoxborrow2314 It's one of the most famous cold cuts in Europe, mainly in Italy, but it's also common in the River Plate area (Argentine and Uruguay) due to the large waves of immigration in this area.
i saw bourdain make this once here in montreal and i thought it looked delicious. went home and made it. thought it was good, then i put tomato on it with a bit of balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and it turned it into a majestic creation.
Haha, I like it, but it rips my mouth and over powers the texture of everything in it. My rule is: bread must be softer than interior for maximum texture combos. ❤
RIP bordain. He's one of the people who got me into my love for different kinds of food. Everyone's saying no reservations was fantastic, and I need to go watch the whole series again
As an italian immigrant child in Belgium, my nonna used to send me to the food market every wednesday. I'd buy italian braided bread tooped with sesame, cold cuts (mortadella, coppa, pancetta...) and cheeses (provolone, stracchino, taleggio, fontina). Then I'd rush home, cut thick slices of bread, top it with cold cut and cheese, wrap it loosely in foil and put it on top of the warm wood stove for a few minutes. This was the best lunch ever. Bourdain didn't invent anything poor italians had already been making since hundreds of years. (Btw, mortadella and taleggio is the best combination for this sandwich.)
@@oriongear2499he suffered depression in his lifetime. Fought it well. I think paying off an underaged male for the sex his girlfriend had with was a huge factor, along with a breakup. Foolish decision to pay her way out of perverse acts. He’s revered so it’s not brought up.
You say I should try the sandwich, but only say 1 ingredient. The sourdough. What's the meat with the white dots, the cheese, and the yellow spread? I can guess provolone, mustard, and ham. But I've never seen ham like that with the white spots.
I agree about the dangling meat. I have never seen that, but it looks similar to tonsillitis. I might try it anyway if those dots arent something weird. ;)
Anthony Bourdain's show "No Reservations" is what inspired me to familiarize myself with the culture derived from food. It garnered my love of travel, and influenced my writing style as well. The whole series was just a masterclass. I miss him. Rest in Peace. And thank you for bringing more attention to his genius.
Il classico panino con la mortadella made in Puglia (Bari) è con la mortadella arrostita e il provolone piccante sciolto sopra…Grande piatto Weissman👍Bravissimo, vero stile italiano 😊👌🫶Max da Monopoli (Bari - Italy)
Normally I would totally agree with you, it pisses me off when these food influencers "show" us a recipe that we can't actually recreate due to lack of recipe, but come on dude it's very clear what's in here and how he made it... Lmao -Fry up a couple slices of mortadella in a pan with a little oil. -Flip, add a couple slices of provolone, mozzarella, or insert your choice of cheese, and cover until cheese is melted. -Remove meat and cheese from pan, add butter and bottom slice of sourdough to pan to toast. Dress with thin layer of Dijon mustard on top. -Place meat and cheese on bread, add top slice of bread (mustard on the inside just like the first) flip and toast other side of bread with a little more butter. There you go
@@gdawgs101for all we know, that’s bologna w cheese in it. Thank you for knowing your processed meats and inserting your opinion where it doesn’t matter. Make sure you don’t hurt your shoulder while patting your own back.
@Viralsmells wow, you seem you'd also be impressed if someone could tell the difference between chicken breast and roast beef. But yes, mortadella is basically bologna with extra fat
I used to make a similar sandwich for customers that had been drinking, panini with pumpernickel brown mustard pastrami smoked Gouda and a few jalapeños. Kettle style Maui onion chips and a fresh limeade. That will cure what ails you.
@@jimmydavies9038 yes use a heavy fatty flavorful meat and cheese. Heat it up and make a grilled sandwich. I used a George Forman grill to do mine. It’s a hard hitting sandwich
God we miss you Anthony😢 Such a simple yet incredibly captivating personality. Even all these years after his death I feel like I knew him on a personal level. His shows just had such a personal aspect. They made you feel like you were just hanging out, just experiencing it with Anthony.
Rest in peace Anthony Bourdain! His No Reservations tv show, in my opinion, is still 1 of the best series about food ever made. Plus he inspired a lot of other chefs to film themselves going to a certain country to learn about their cooking skills, culture, etc!
No Reservations was the epitome of a great food show. He went out and met genuine foodies and met them at their level, no matter where or for what, and took part in their lives. You can't beat it.
Bizarre foods was better. Anthony just did the same thing in different places and he made the same corny references in every episode. He killed himself because he thought it was some kind of poetic climax, but it was just another boring day
@@livingintheLight. Bizarre Foods was good, and Andrew did great. I also enjoyed his stuff. But the difference is he went out of his way to find the bizarre, whereas Tony was just an average guy with other average guys eating the country's staples. Depression is a bitch, no matter who you are.
Eh...it's a ham and cheese melt. This sandwich has probably been around for something around 400 years. It's like saying that somebody invented cow's milk by pouring it into a glass instead of sucking it straight out of teat. lmfao
Before toasting the bread, add a little garlic powder to the buttered side. I make these all the time. Sometimes Turkey or chicken sometimes ham. Always a different cheese. So good. 🤤
When I was in high school I used to pile my ham on the pan like that n make it very similar to this sandwich. I guess I was right with the legend on this one. ♡
I lived in Bologna (where mortadella was invented) for 6 years. The first mistake I made was to order a sandwich with mortadella and cheese. The clerk was really offended, as apparently mortadella puritans don't allow to associate it with anything else besides bread (or inside tortellini).
@@aluminatestrontium7298 Funny story and "Mortadella puritan" is a great way to describe it. Maybe I'm one of those people, as I have never even considered eating it with anything other than with good bread. But the rebel in me will try Josh's recipe.
thanks for posting a grilled ham and cheese cook. never seen that before. never did it before either. never seen it on the internet and I've never even heard about it until now. THANKS FOR POSTING
Just my thoughts! This is called " lanche de mortadela" and it's a quite know sandwich in Sao Paulo's Central Market ( AKA Mercadao de Sao Paulo). Our version is at least 3 times this one, we use a different bread and a lot more meat and cheese. But this one looks really, really good
@@KHCoasterKidI don't think that's ham. I could be wrong but I think it's something more like bologna with white marbling. I forgot what it's called. Like I said though I could be wrong. What I'm talking about is basically fancy Italian bologna.
Fun tip- put the cheese dire tly on the pan until melted/jest bubbly, press your bread onto it (butter side up), and just flip the bread to butter-side dow, so the cheese is exposed. Stack on the extras, top it with final piece of buttered bread. Flip to finish toasting. The cheese sticks to the bread during the flip, fully melted.
Here in Brazil this is a really common breakfest sandwich, we call it "Misto" or "Bauru" when it also has tomatto. There are some variations but it is always ham and chesse or "mortadela" and cheese, I don't know what you call this ham you used in the video but we call it "mortadela"
What's the cold cut? Prociutto, or mortadella? Also the cheese, I'm assuming provolone by the appearance, and the way it melts. No veggies? Can I put a bit of sauteed red pepper and carmelized sweet onion? Just a bit? Let's don't forget the mustard... It's got to be Inglehoffer honey mustard! It has a touch of horseraddish so you don't have to go hunting for raw ground hraddish. Which, I might add, every "easy sandwich" must have.
If any of you guys call this a grilled cheese I’m gonna lose it. A grilled cheese is bread, cheese and something to fry it in(such as butter). If it has other ingredients it is a MELT!
@@jonathanoneill9200definitely a toastie - and as we all know, if you put sliced tomato in your toastie, it somehow gets this supernatural ability to maintain the heat of the sun for whole days at a time. That's just science
