I hope you dig the new video. Just as a reminder, grab your discount (limited) merch at http://www.adamwitt.store and be sure to come introduce yourself in the Discord! Both are linked in bio <3. Happy new year, y'alllll.
Photos on the map 10/10 idea. I';m excited to see what you come up with man. Love the energy you put into your videos.
Recommendations for Michigan – Either a pasty (lard and rutabaga recommended) or poutine (technically Canadian I suppose)
Maryland crab cake eggs benedict
Californian here: French Dip using Santa Maria BBQ is the best.
I just finished dinner, and after watching your video I'm hungry for second dinner!
Well done (no pun intended)
Crusty meat is ok
everyone go buy a slicer!
He loves some d in his mouth😂
We have always called this a steak sandwich, not a French dip. Sadly, most of us can't afford a piece of meat like that.
You should do an "Indian taco" its definitely a huge favorite here in New Mexico. Or the stereotypical green chile cheese burger
One of the most underrated sandwiches 👌🏼
All I ask is that you please don't do Philly cheesesteaks for freaking PA 😭
best food channel on the 'tube!!
Provolone and Swiss for the win!!
When you get to MN (hopefully sooner), do the Jucy Lucy.
Is that ketchup???
cheers
Ya done good son. Looks amazing. I am particular about horseradish sauce and yours was immaculate. That last bite was textbook.
I like that you didn't put cheese on it. I think that french dips should be about the meat and crusty bread, with jus to dip it in
Yo what is the funky track that kicks in around minute 2? It’s the same one they use on the Big Picture for Dobbin’s Science Corner!
Love the reverse sear. Why no worcestershire sauce in the horsey? Umami anchovy punch. What you clearly did to perfection was the probe test and rest. No way not Acceptional
18.30.25 isn't a date or time, please tell us the cipher.
