My mom used to cook chipped beef at the end of the month for the family when money was tight. It was a very traditional recipe in her family that my grandparents cooked, my grandma called that reciple "shit on a shingle." Its sooo damn good on a piece of sour dough
HAHA. That was our usual stop on Saturday nights after getting drunk at the Instant Replay in 89. My aunt lived right near there in Pennypack. Great shit!
I grew up in the Philly burbs and now that I've been away for 30+ years, this show reminds me of how unique growing up with foods from the area is. Stuff that makes people cringe anywhere else, but they don't know how awesome this food is. SOS, scrapple, pork roll, chicken croquettes. All classics. And on top of it all you have Philly cheese steaks.
Couldn’t agree more. I grew up in South Philly. I moved to Seattle 8 years ago. I love it here for the most part. But my goodness do I miss aspects of Philly. And the 2 things I miss the most are being around Eagles football(not quite the same when you’re watching it from far away) and what I consider to be one of the most underrated food cities in the world.
Brother! Another fellow guitar assassin! Lol. Man I fell in love with Philadelphia almost immediately. Been through there a couple dozen times, but I was busy so my time is always limited. Haven't truly scratched the surface. I know there's super rough parts, but I had this idea in my head (same with Boston and Chicago) that everyone was rough, gruff and scary, lol. Couldn't have been more wrong. Some of the nicest people ever. Of course I respect anyone from anywhere, but when Philly locals knew how stoked I was to be there asking questions, they were more than nice telling me all the places to visit. Respect! Can't wait to visit again
Best place to go for creamed chipped beef (shit on the shingle) and their scrapple is the best...I'm surprised they didn't do their french onion soup that's a big favorite there
comfort food is so satisfying because the value of accomplishing the dish cheaply yourself also if you cant order. These recipes could feed ya 5xs over for what you pay for an establishment for the convenience. The best kind to study up and perfect
If you still work there, i would like to ask a favor if you are willing and if it is possible. I'm from rural Kentucky and i would like to get the recipe for the chicken croquettes and sauce, i do not own a cafe or restaurant, it would be more of a situation of helping out a mission/food bank project to feed as many people as possible on a limited budget, and to feed them a tasty, filling meal. If you could get me the recipe, it would be much appreciated because trying to stretch as much as i can with foods like meatloaf, soup beans, etc...so if you could ask Larry, tell him the situation it will be used for and forward it to me, i would be very thankful. It is not going to be published or spread on the internet or anything like that. Have a nice day and ty, God bless. Also, if you cannot obtain the recipe, let me know that info on here if possible, it is ok.
Steve Logan I don’t know if you ever found it or someone helped out but here’s a link to the recipe that Chef Larry provided Food Network! My Great Grandmom used to make them from thanksgiving turkey leftovers when all of the good sandwich bits were gone and it was one step from the soup pot! www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/chicken-croquettes-recipe0-2011435
Had chipped beef wile in the Navy & it was really quite good. If given a choice of biscuits & gravy or chipped beef, it would be difficult. Enjoy both equally.
It was originally called the Torresdale Diner when he bought it in 1961, not the Dining Car. My Dad and I would have breakfast on Sundays after delivering my Sunday Inquirer route and going to church, occasionally we would bring the family but usually, it was just the two of us. The change to the Dining Car came in 1976 and it became my friends and I go to place after the clubs closed. Fond memories.
We were there maybe two months ago and meet the new owner. Gave everybody a 10% discount that day. Can never finish the three huge thick delicious pan cakes they make. We always buy a pack of cinnamon rolls and other items from their great bakery. Make great Jewish apple cake. Like another nearby diner on the Avenue they are no longer open 24/7.
I never understood the double mash thing with croquets. Growing up we always had ones with hardly any meat in, so mostly mash, on a bed of mash.....and I didnt really like mash!
Give a military cook some decent ingredients and magic can happen. Not going to be Michelin star stuff, but it'll be tasty and you probably won't need another meal for a good 10 hours. Or a 10 mile run with full gear, whichever comes first.
I love chipped beef, have since I had it at age 3-4. Grew up with grandparents, so I was introduced to older recipes. Really good on potato or hawaiian bread too.
What's wrong with chipped beef? Good stuff! I make it the same as a southern sausage gravy except I use reserved bacon fat to start it off with the flour.
It has a bad rap, it is a common item on military menus (at least back in the day) where not much care was put into its production and the gravy had a tendency toward wallpaper paste.
If you like bacon, sausage links, sausage patties, country ham, then you like scrapple, if you have never eaten scrapple you like it, you just do not know it yet.
@@vinniethegooch7830 it's pork scraps, or pork bulk sausage (browned) mixed in corn flour wheat flour and some times buckwheat flour, seasoned well, formed in a loaf then sliced and either pan fried or deep fat fried , some people drizzle with syrup, some put an over easy egg on top some eat it plain after frying. I prefer it with the bulk browned peppered pork sausage in it pan fried and drizzled with syrup.
@@briangleason5597 traditionally it is but I don't do liver.. originally it was what ever pork scrapes were given to slaves from the kitchen then they mixed it with cornmeal and fried . That's where scrapple originated from. 😉
Karena Mason one other question, i do not own a restaurant or anything like that, i am from rural kentucky, would you happen to know or could you get me the recipe for the cone shaped chicken croquettes and chicken gravy ?, it would just be for me and my family to cook and eat at home, because we eat a lot of chicken and almost always have chicken scraps we could make that meal out of, if you cannot, that os ok, just let me know one way or the other please, ty.
Steve Logan to be honest I'm not even sure how to make them I think Google would be your best bet or a RU-vid video would be the easiest way to see how to make them.. sorry I couldn't help
My dad used to talk about having shit on a shingle like that in the Army when he did his basic at Ft Dix. He said they had a great cook that ran their mess. When he got to Vietnam tho, they ran out of supplies and they were forced to eat K rations for about a week.
Growning up poor i remember getting beat up cause i wasnt rich never had lobster and the worst beating i ever got was from a rich kid saying "your so poor u cant eat like us and u will never have toast like us"
Scrapple is delicious there in Pa. area, & in W.Va., Virginia & , N.C. fried liver mush is great & in central to southern Oh. & to northern- Central Ky., goetta is great, it is a combo of ground pork, beef, pin oats, spices, & and pan fried til crispy on outside & tender on inside, several brands but from best down the top 3 brands are Glier's , J.B.'s, , Finke's & it is a German food & absolutely delicious , info from me a 59 yr old Irish man, great food
If the prices are reasonable, and being a diner i would say they are, if i were not married or if i lived alone now that i am 55 and retired, i would be a more regular customer than the fellow at the start who eats there 2x a day on every weekday, i'd be a 2x a day, 7 days a week with that menu. Even with my wife, we would be fairly regular customers
Chipped beef......yankee name for it! Down here in the south, we call that "S.O.S" or "Shit on a Shingle"......either way, if it's done right, that's some GOOD shit!!!
This teaches me a lesson now at my age of 66 years, watching the heavy looking people, its time for me ( my dr. Say I'm at the right weight for my age ) to start exercising more because by myself I have 3 chocolate shakes, and 2-4 quarts 2 Dryers chocolate icecream. I would eat the food that they are showing on this show.
Scrapple is the most delicious food in the world - I'm biased because I'm from PA, but it is absolutely amazing. People shit talking scrapple have never had it. Hot dogs are made from the same ingredients (which is totally cool and socially acceptable).
If it's been open for that long.'Nuff said.Guy has to admit he got owned at 7:19 by that old boy though.😁I still believe Guy FIERI is the KING OF FOOD.✌👊😎
I think the navy/marines make their's with ground beef and it is good, but i like chipped beef the best. I even use the cheater meat sometimes, and buy Buddig brand beef in a package which i chop up , and make my own cream gravy, and i even have been known to cheat on that and use packaged cream gravy, if you do, i recommend pioneer brand or country southern brand, talk about a quick meal, but it still beats most fast food places.
