Why are Deli Subs better than homemade ones?

Making a sandwich is one of the easiest things in food industry. Learning some tips from a deli will instantly improve at home sandwiches. Personally I prefer cold cuts that are nearly shredded. Thicker cuts are not my favorite. At a deli they give the illusion of more meat by crumbling the cold cuts a little instead of layering it completely flat. Another tip is first add mayo to the top bread, then shredded lettuce, then a dressing on top of the lettuce. Helps the dressing not spill to the sides on the table much. Then add onion slices, tomato slices and salt+pepper the tomatoes. At a deli I saw they take the cold cuts from the meat slicer and layer it on wax paper, then take that paper and slap it on top of the sandwich with the toppings. Makes the process more efficient.

I revisited this yesterday. Fam wanted hoagies,, so... everybody was happy!

I will use a french bread roll.

Thank you.

nobody gonna make their own bread for a sandwich brother

Such BS.Buying fresh and unprocessed ingredience and europian style Bread Homemade is and always has been the best.End of Argument!

Fats(butter, oil, etc) , layering (don't just slap down peices of meat and cheese, use half the pack, for another step up fold the meat in half as you put it down), fresh veg, and seasoning.

Salt and pepper always makes the difference

I don't take advice from people who put tomatoes and lettuce on their sandwiches.

12 minute video on how to make a sandwich.

I got my Master's in Sandwich making.

I haven’t had a great deli sandwich since high school growing up in the 80s in San Diego. Every convenience store, small grocery store, liquor store etc…had insanely awesome subs.

CENTO HOAGIE ROLL SPREAD MY GOAT

Failed in the first shot - cutting the roll completely through, amateur...

I used to work at a corner spot deli in the late 2000s and I promise you it's much simpler than this video. The key is to use a fresh hero roll of any size and freshly washed sliced lettuce, and to slice the lettuce thinly as you can. The moisture from the freshly sliced, freshly washed lettuce amplifies the flavor from your mayo or dressing giving you that distinct NY deli sandwich flavor. And you have to be sure the meat touches the bread with the mayo or dressing on it. And finally at the deli counter we use parchment paper sometimes both wax paper as well, but it's really up to you.

Please don’t use “lube” and “mouth feel” in the same sentence ever again. My inner 12 year old is dying. 😂

10 year olds put chips on their sandwich. DAF.

Thank you Ethan, Every sandwich a Loved sandwich... Someone once said "That's just science"... I call it "Art"...

i hate the exaggerated mistake scenes where you just fuckin ruin ingredients.

I wish for once a YouTuber who makes food videos would stop adding the whole "try the food" part. You will never not act like what you just ate is the greatest food on earth... so doing that just adds a layer of skepticism for me every single time.

Everything is better when some else makes it for you. Period, end of story, science!

Better question, why do you all insist on giving Wawa's a shout out for subs. They suck big donkey balls. We got a Wawa's near me about 3 years ago. I was so excited because I heard so much great stuff about the. Bull crap. I can get a better Italian sub form my local Food Lion. The bread is dry and stale, the toppings were watery and had no flavor and the meats tasted like they came from a dollar store. The steak subs there are dry and the steak has a off taste to it. I will admit that the meatball subs are passable and if I had to eat as Wawa's, that is what I'd order. If I had a choice though, it's eat anywhere else first.
