For those curious about an authentic Diablo sandwich…. The restaurant featured in the movie is called the old hickory house. The Diablo sandwich appeared on the menu after the movie was released. Jackie Gleason was doing improv during that scene and made up the name of the sandwich on the fly. It didn’t exist before the movie. After the movie came out a plain pulled pork sandwich with a tobasco based BBQ sauce was introduced.
That sounds real good!
Mmmmmmm! . . I want one
You have no idea how long I have wanted one of these sandwiches! Ever since I first saw the movie and every time I’ve watched it since. 😁
Where was it? Here in Nashville, there's lots of "old hickory", but not this sandwich or the restaurant.
In fact, even our famous hot chicken was meant as a trick for punishment, accidentally found to be good, and barbeque was pulled pork or ribs, never brisket! We just didn't have chile-hot food, and the few briskets in the grocery stores were cheaper pot roasts. So that's not from here!
You sir are a bigger geek than I am. I already knew this but I salute you.
Almost 45 years later still a good movie. I just turned 16 and drove my dad to see it, it was a great day.
nice
I was 11 going on 12 years old in 1977, and one of my sisters, her husband, and my mother all went to the drive-in to see "Smokey and the Bandit", and "The Sting" with Paul Newman. It was the first time I had ever been to a drive-in movie. My mother got upset at the first cuss word, but she managed to keep calm enough to let us get through it without having to leave early.
Ken,,,,,, Pulled Pork,,,, Horseradish cheese 🧀,,,,, God Bless and bless you and your loss,,,,, Doggie Dad…..
I just watched this movie again two days ago. I have it in my library and it's always a great "blast from the past", bringing an abundance of great memories.
It's "Diablo Sammich" not sandwich..... I worked for the Sheriff's Office where this was filmed. We used to eat at the Old Hickory House on a regular basis (we had 2 in the county back then). Both of them are long gone and bulldozed. I love to watch the original movie every now and then just to see how the area looked back in the 70's. There are a number of scenes where I was there to watch (and perform crowd or traffic control which was the official reason we were there) and yes I did get to meet Burt and Jerry. And as to hot links, I grew up eating split red hot links (red hots) in biscuits!!!!
Were Burt and Jerry nice guys?
@@scotthamp384 Yes they were. Very respectful of the law enforcement people who watched out for them.
My question for you is did it have hot link or not had a hot link in it you would know if you ate there
Just asking not trying to start an argument but I was just a little kid when the movie came out and top of everything else I live and raised in oregon away from all the good food that in the south
I'm not trying to start an argument but I grew up in oregon away from the south where the good food at but I was a kid when the movie came out that way I asked that question on that I am in to smoking BBQ and just wanted know if it had hot link are not
Kent! Thank you SO MUCH for making this video. The Diablo sandwich has been the subject of much culinary and cinematic controversy for decades. Enjoyed your take on it. My wife and I love your family friendly content, we do.
We thank you both for watching
The "Great One" absolutely made that movie an instant classic.
And the music of Jerry Reed was icing on the cake. That man could flat out play. Thanks for another great episode. Take care and God bless.👍🇺🇸
Being from Louisiana I take a particular liking to his song Amos Moses.
Nothing like hitting the high road and cranking to east bound and down RIP Jerry, and yes a top 5 classic
REED IS GOD!
Jerry Reed played a hitman in the early 80s movie The Survivors. Robin Williams and Walter Matthau starred. Check it out, a comedy.
Lifelong Okie here, Being 56 yrs old that's a favorite movie of mine! Can't wait to make my own Diablo sandwich. Thanks for all the great videos!
The old hickory cafe Diablo sandwich is minced pork smothered in Texas Pete hot sauce. It’s actually off menu now but you can still order it if you ask
Sad, that can ride forever.
100% correct.
Pulled pork and hot sauce combo. Really good but gave me heartburn for 2 days.
Jackie was so funny in that role. Plus all the others in the movie. I miss movies like that.When they were funny and real comedy.
He was a funny man for sure
and when the director was a stuntman and didnt care about continuity, if the shot was good it went in.
It's a mad mad mad world was another movie with a lot of the older comedians in it.
"I'm gonna bar-bee-que your ass in molasses!" Classic Jackie.
"Boy, you is stupid."
Jackie Gleason just nailed the southern hick sheriff.
Clifton James is another actor who nailed the southern hick sheriff role so well in the bond films.
I miss movies that didn't just push some subliminal woke propaganda.
Sir, I've only been viewing for about a year. But you have no idea how many of these recipes I've borrowed, or Midwest twisted due to regional flavors, and they've all been stellar. Thanks for the content, and recipes I get to share with those I hold dear (cooking for others, and breaking bread is a sign of love). Best of health, life's adventures, and continued joy in 2023 🇺🇸
We thank you so much for taking time to watch
Smokey and The Bandit is my favorite movie of all time.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Rollins. We love you ❤❤❤
Full on drooling while watching this! Plus, the idea of cutting the hot links into disks is brilliant! And, I just realized that all the male stars of Smokey & the Bandit are no longer with us... RIP Jackie Gleason, Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed.
Maybe they ate to many Diablo Sammiches !
Looks juicy, hot, and tasty! It also looks like the kind of sandwich where you ought to lean forward a bit so the juices don't drip down your shirt (that's the way we eat the Italian beef sandwiches in Chicago).
You got that right
My Favorite Chef, you never cease to amaze me! We love your creativity and authenticity! You're "One of America's Best" culinary Pros!
My dad use to say that Smokey and the Bandit belonged on The History Channel. I'm definitely making this.
Hope you enjoy
With the way The History Channel's programming is going, it just might be.
that Firebird!
@@canaisyoung3601 is going? theyv been doing nothing but dogshit reality shows for more than a decade
If this video doesn’t go viral and change the world, I’ll just be disappointed. This is awesome!!
You're honestly too good for food network!
Thanks for watching
Kent start your own Network. That way you can keep the content honest, wholesome and American@@CowboyKentRollins
With Brad Leoni, babyish and max miller
Kent isn't woke enough for food network. Which is sad, but it's the reality we live in. Good content is sacrificed at the alter of DEI.
...said Alton Brown, from deep in the Food Network mines...
😂 now it's official I gotta make this sandwich 🥪 and watch smokey and the bandit with my Dad! 🎉
Hey Kent and Shan, Heath, I hope all y'all had as much fun making this video and the sammiches as I did watching it.
Glad you enjoyed it, we did for sure
I just bought the 3 Disc set of Smokey and the Bandit Movie's on DVD and watched them literally over the past few days. My Take away is that you Will Never see Anything like that ever again.
Great movie it is
You couldn't make Smokey and the Bandit today. They'd take one look at the script and say "Hey this is just Smokey and the Bandit that's already a movie"
Lots of old vets love watching your vids! Gonna have a Diablo sammich
We appreciate you all
One of these days before I'm pushing up daisies, I plan a mosy to your chuck wagon and help you cook something... maybe some Iowa pork chops!
I can't handle hardly any heat anymore. But a BBQ brisket sandwich sounds heavenly!
You could skip the adobo and used sliced kielbasa or German sausage instead of hot links....
I love the movie "Smokey and the Bandit", and I love this video, Thank you all Cowboy Kent, Shan and Heath for taking the time to show us how it's done!!! YUM!
It looks great Kent!! You're always cooking up something new. God bless!!
And God bless you as well
I have on the back of my truck in gold vinyl; For the good old American life. For the money, for the glory, and for the fun. Mostly for the money.
Jackie was the best actor ever...but he really made the Smokey and the Bandit movie..
nobody, I mean nobody could've done Buford T. Justice any better... excellent actor in all his movies 👍👍...RIP Mr Gleason
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures in cooking
Howdy Earl
Happy New Year my friend and your family
This is one of your best dear Kent. I laughed so hard I smoked my bandit. The intro was Hammer. Which means awesome in my native lingo. Thank you so much for showing us what America is about 😊
We thank you for watching
Mr. Rollins I found your channel researching Birria tacos. I followed your recipe/video and they turned out great! I’ve since enjoyed so many other videos and recipes. I’m amazed by the chuckwagon rebuild, your career, your skills and your all around self!! Wow. Pretty awesome. Special sauce. Thank you for sharing your journey and art!!! ❤️ from my family to yours.
We love You and your Misses .. Shannon for putting up with you …all our love and blessings are on y’all
My favorite movie of all time. I've seen it a hundred times, VHS, DVD, BluRay, Streaming, you name it. The brilliant cast is on fire in the movie. Good ol' fun!
Couldn't agree more!
He may not have won on chopped, but I guarantee he is wanted on any kind of western or outdoor cooking themed shows in the future
Greetings from Redondo Beach CA 🇺🇸 This sandwich looks devastatingly delicious. I haven’t had any appetite for 3 days because of flu but watching your video awakens my appetite. Nice work. Cheers 🥂
There is so much flavour in their I can smell it through through my headset :)
Looking forward to this!
One of my favorite movies, also one of my favorite parts also! Makes me laugh everytime! 😂
I'm so glad YOU redone this sandwich. Perfectly!!!
Yes. Yes. Yes. This was cool. I've always wondered what that Diablo burger was! That's one of them movies my buddy and I will sit and for the entire hour and a half. Thanks Kent
Last holiday season there was a comeback on the telly in Europe of a lot of 70, 80 and 90's movies.
It was such a delight.
Who all remembers watching Smokey and the Bandit in the theater? It was such a great movie!
Sandwich looks fantastic! Will try it if I can find some hot sausages where I live!
Thanks Cowboy Kent!
4 times in the theater in 1977, conservative estimate of 150 times on t.v./video.
Hey and hat.
Oh, and again in the theater in 2017 (this time my brother and I smuggled in a couple of sixers of Coors!)
Date night is sorted, this and the film 👌🏻❤️
Movie and a meal, great combo
This guy is awesome and the guest is awesome, appreciate all the wholesome content!
CLOTHING FITS FINALLY
Best line in the movie "you sounded taller on the radio"😂
Another win for Cowboy Kent! Looking forward to trying this one.
We hope you enjoy
He’s always winning
I’m digging the car port cook off. Love how your cooking something from a movie. I love recreating dishes I’ve seen in films. Planet terror got me cooking all kinds of bbq at one point 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Certified Gold!!!!!
Brings back lots of good memories as a kid when I first watched that movie. Makes me want to watch it again. Lots of good ol' laughs.
Man, I love the Beag. He might not be named Fred, but he's got class and a tongue that can clean a tabletop! Kent, that Diablo is making my mouth water from 350 "crow" miles away. I kinda like Heath too!
🎵🎶 Eastbound and down loaded up and trucking!🎶🎵 Thank you Mr Kent Sir going to have to watch Smoky and the bandit tonight because I now know what the Diablo sandwich is.🤠🇺🇲
Thanks for watching
UNCLE KENT !! we love you!
Thanks so much
I got in SO much trouble one time as a kid. My brother and I were playing Smokey and the Bandit on our bikes and mom told me to come inside. I yelled at her that I couldn't, he (my brother, playing the sheriff) was hot on my tail. Thank goodness I had only ever seen the cleaned-up-for-TV version or I'd have said something worse than that. 🤣🤣🤣
This might be your coolest video *EVER!!*🔥🔥🔥 One of the best movies in history! A true American classic. What a fun idea to do this!! And I will absolutely be making these for the family. Much love too you as always. ❤❤
Hope everyone enjoys
As always another great video with a recipe to match, Thank You!
Hope you enjoy
About that time where I do my once a year "You got done dirty by the food network and I'm so very happy to see you doing so well out here in CZcams man." Stay awesome sir.
I forgot all about that scene. WOW! Great sammy.
That’s lots of fun and looks delicious!
So good it was
the Diablo sandwich looks really good and especially with a Dr. Pepper.
🤠🇺🇲🇺🇲💯💯🇺🇲🇺🇲🤠
It was so good
I didn't remember the sandwich from the movie (loved the movie) but, when read Dr. Pepper
Thought maybe you would be cooking with the Dr Pepper....
Thanks. Will be making this once the weather warms up.
Hope you enjoy
I was a Marine Cpl on Okinawa when that movie came out. Going to do this tomorrow.
I absolutely Love this! thanks y’all I am going to have my son make this for us. He has a smoker & we had brisket for Christmas, it was delicious & I will tell him about the cherry wood. You rock Kent 😄
Hope you enjoy
Kent ; Love LOVE the heavy base intro music . This episode was so mutch fun. Brought back the laughing when watching that old movie ( must be 20 times ? ). The sandwidge was the BOMB,,, the Hot Links would be over the top heat 4 me, but I'd order one without. Love watching from Ontario Canada . Like your tribute to the Troops !
Thanks so much we owe them all so much
Smokey and the Bandit has always been one of my favorite childhood movies. I was listening to Jerry Reed - East bound and down just last night.
Ok. I'm going to have to try it! Thanks Kent. Happy New Year!! 👍😃
Love that movie 😍😍 the sandwich looks delicious 😋😋😋
Thank you
For the last 5 decades I've always known the Diablo sandwich to be a spicy sloppy Joe. 🔥
Whooo man, that looks sooo good. Thanks for the videos, fantastic as always!
We thank you
Heath aint lying in Japan we watched movies like Smokey and The Bandit so many times we had the script memorized. Semper Fi Brother.
Great Times with Great People! Semper Fi Brother!
Dang that looks good, I had forgotten that part of the movie, which is a classic, and did not realize there was an actual heat sammich with it. Your version looks much more interesting, got a little more heat goin on.
We did kick it up a bit
I have a can of shredded beef that i need to use, and I think this would be awesome for this. Thanks, and God bless. ❤😊
Hope you enjoy and God bless you
Kent, you have the BEST videos! I love watching you work. Please keep em coming!
Love these videos and recipes. Thanks for posting. Much love from Texas!
We thank you for taking time to watch
That looks so delicious! I think the only thing missing is a melted slice of cheese. Maybe smoked swiss Or cheddar to balance the heat. 😀🤤
Looks delicious!!
When will your smoky dip be back in stock?
Soon
Thanks for the smiles.
Our pleasure!
Just plain enjoyable to watch. Thanks!,
Glad you enjoyed it
That looks great and I am a big hot link fan I eat them at least once a week. I am going to try them on a bbq sandwich now.
Hope you enjoy
It's pulled pork and texas pete sauce that's a Diablo sandwich
As a kid who grew up in that era (born in 1975, and a former '79 Trans Am Y84 owner) I can honestly say you can't go wrong with a sammich wrapped in a foil wrapper. And it's got to be even better 'cowboy'ed up"! Thanks for this one, Mr. Rollins! Definitely going to have to try this one!
Hope you enjoy
I was 12 when it came out and my parents wouldn’t let me see it because Jackie Gleason swore so much in it. When I finally was able to sneak it in about a year later, it is still a classic favorite to this day for this classic fast car loving lady. Our fellow car collector friend comes over and we have the Diablo night, but ours are not near as nice as yours, recipe we found it was ground beef like a sloppy Joe with sautéed onions, jalapeño, Heinz ketchup. I’m still a Ford girl who loves a Bandit TA and Burt Reynolds, with a Jerry Reed sidekick. Thank you Kent for bringing a smile to us seems we found someone in the cooking world who appreciates a classic car fun movie, as well as your leveled up take on the Diablo ❤❤❤
East bound and down!
Yep load them up and lets go
We gonna do what they say can't be done!
Bank robber? Bank robbin' is baby shit alongside of what this dude is doin'. Almost killed law officers. Drivin' through people's backyards, knockin' down mailboxes. He's got a broad in the car, took her across the state line. That's the Mann Act. I don't think he's got her permission, and that's kidnapping. How's that for high jinks?
Kent and Shan, Happy New Year! Thank you for doing this episode! We gotta try this, while watching the movie! My mom gave me Comfort Food the Cowboy Way for Christmas. It’s gonna be a great year!
That is the best movie ever, and that sandwich looks even better!!!
It looks fantastic! Excellent work as always!
Thank you so much
Luving the colabs! Thank you Ken and Shannon! chompin on the bit waiting for your return to Nevada for your next class!
Kent your videos make my day. That Diablo Sandwich looks delicious.
Bless you Kent; that's one of the best! Gonna give that one a go this summer, when the snow stops falling around here!
Thanks for paying homage to a one of my favorite movies and one of Jackie's funniest roles.
Thanks Kent, Shan, and Heath, that was a fun one!
GOOD OLE BURT REYNOLDS! damned if I weren't blessed that my grandpa showed me the classics before he passed. Would've missed out so much good music and movies.
This is why Cowboy Kent will be a legend one day.
Thanks
My dad was a huge Jackie Gleason fan from his Honeymooner days (the few times he would go to the movies was for a Gleason film), and Mom had a crush on Burt Reynolds so this movie was one they could both enjoy. And it got played a lot in the early days of cable when I was a kid so I've seen this a ton and then the Cannonball Run movies as well.
Brilliant idea
Outstanding!
This is super crazy because i just randomly decided to make this for dinner two nights ago. They way i interpreted it, was that it was a hot ham bbq sandwich. So i frizzle fried up some chipped chopped ham and cooked onions in with it and tossed on some bbq sauce then put it on a bun and put texas pete hot sauce on it 👍🏻 i had been talking about making this sandwich from the movie for like the past year. Randomly decided to make it and then u release this video, very crazy i love it!
This is got to be my favorite episode
Thanks
One my top 5 all time movies 😎 you know it’s hot when Kent Rollins eyes start watering … love the content and the commentary !
Sir thank you for video. Have a safe and happy new year.please keep your videos coming.
What a memorable role that Jackie Gleason owned! He had some great lined! What a comedy classic !
From what I've heard, Jackie Gleason says just tell me what you want and I'll do it. I think everything he says in the whole movie was Improv. I do know there was no script for the restaurant scene and both Reynolds and Gleason made it up on the fly. Two of the greatest comedy actors that ever lived.
Gleason always cracks me up, especially Sheriff Buford T. Justice. I remember watching his showin the 60's and 70's, The Honeymooners. To the moon Alice.
