- We challenged Harold Villarosa to grill up a homemade cheesesteak better than one he had delivered. Was he up to the challenge?

Perfect Cheesesteak: Takeout vs Pro Chef | Taking on Takeout | Bon Appétit - Jak na to + styl
Do they just permanently make this Harold's show?
...I'm into that.
Yeah it's been his show since he came to BA. It started out as a competition to see if he could make it before the delivery arrived
I appreciate the knowledge drop at every stage of the food prep... most chefs just show you how to do it but few (like Harold & Brad) take the time to really explain why you should do it a certain way to allow you to riff on it down the road.
More in the editing
I agree! Hearing his thought process behind certain choices was really helpful
J. Kenji Lopez Alt goes super into detail in his cooking videos
This giy sucks at cooking and has no idea what's he's talking about
@@johnnyrodgersss big man
Harold really is a good teacher. He appeals to us bc he takes the time to slow the lesson down and break down for us why he uses his methods to examine and create a Philly Cheese Steak.
I wish he would have wrapped his sandwich in aluminum foil bc I believe it changes the texture of the bread. When make a sandwich for takeout, is there a way of transport that preserves the quality of the sandwich? For example is it better to wrap a sandwich in tin foil or delih paper? Would it be better if we put the sandwich in a box? These are the kinds of questions that should be given there own episode to be examined or just a regular practice.
I think you've got to wrap a sandwich like that and let it all steam, meld and compact together for at least five minutes before eating.
OH so you get a steamed roll? Delete your account.
That’s the secret ingredient for all sandwiches. Wrap them for a few minutes if they’re hot, maybe an hour if they’re cold. You’ll see the difference
@Jason S I always thought that toasted bread was king but recently I tried it just plain but rolled in tin foil to let it steam and it was so good.
If you go to your local bakery and get fresh rolls they will be perfect right out of the bag
@@huitrecouture big facts Cindy S. thank you for teaching the youth. 👍
@@huitrecouture bruh most Philly cheesesteaks are wrap in foil to let everything congeal
Harold Villarosa is my new favorite on BA. Love this, his style, personality... makes me want to come over for a cookout. Making this tomorrow.
Plus, he cooks up the really decadent stuff - burritos, tacos, Philly cheese steak and the like. All the stuff we crave , right ? Let's face it, who wants to watch a video about how to prepare a crunchy tofu salad.
Harold earned my like on the video as soon as he said adding anything but cheese and onions makes it a different sandwich
Meh. Butter? Really?
Yeah a better one
This man clearly knows what he's talking about. I don't do onions, and there are things I would add, but I don't care as much about authenticity. I like garlic powder on my steak, I like mushrooms on the sandwich, but I don't pretend that's the right way, just the way I like it.
“Your way” is the right way. Everyone in Philly prefer all sorts of variations, but will limit outsiders to some perceived standard.
"We want the best cheese"
"Velveeta is great for this cheese sauce"
For real. How is this “elevating” 🤷♂️
Better than the cheese whiz they use in Philly.
@@chocokrispisconleche The problem is that the cheese type is a component of the classic sandwich. Basically, cheese with emulsifiers. Put any other cheese on, you might as well be making a different sandwich.
@@kwaaaa Provolone is an acceptable and traditional alternative to Wiz.
I'll never understand the love for Velveeta whiz sauce on everything fast food
I love this guy. Super down to earth and he knows what's good without sounding snobby.
He's about to be a big food star. He's got that x factor
Looks like a great sandwich. One thing people don’t do enough which I think makes the experience for any hoagie type sandwich better is wrapping it in foil and letting it steam for a few minutes. It lets the bread get super soft without being soggy & it also greatly improves the structural integrity of the sandwich. Even if it’s not a hot sandwich it will help with structure.
As someone who is very picky with my cheesesteak I appreciate how Harold made his and his reasoning behind it all
Harold is my favorite of any of the new crew members.
In the thumbnail at least, the takeout one looks way better
takeout one looks too soggy
@@jamesburns679 and delicious
Takeout looks way better. Some things like a cheesesteak don't need a fancy version.
@@jamesburns679 *moist. Dry cheesesteaks are the absolute worst
100% that's what a cheesesteak should look like. A huge mess! yummm
Haven’t watched this channel in months but I loved this video. Really like this guy.
WE LOVE YOU FOR THAT OCK IMPERSONATION, CANT FORGET THE BEEV
Loved what he said about building your community and pulling up someone behind you
This might be a bit of a hot take, but sauteed mushrooms are AWESOME on a cheesesteak. It adds a bit of a deeper umami flavor, to contrast with the sweetness of the onions and saltiness of the cheese.
Not a hot take at all, and I’m glad you said “sautéed,” instead of “fried.” I put sautéed mushrooms on everything (hamburgers, with eggs etc)
My favorite chef on BA! Such a great personality. He's informative, articulate, and has attitude!
oh please
He’s maybe one of those things
I love that the chef doesn’t think he’s to sophisticated to use velveeta. For a cheez whiz, nothing beats it
Isnt that Griddle made with some sort of non-stick? That metal spatula, oooof
You have to wrap it after so it can all meld together with the heat. You're awesome, great job!!
Chef Harold is my new favorite of the "new class" of BA presenters. (The others still keep me watching, of course.) I am never bored and always entertainingly educated.
*_This looks too delicious! You made this brilliantly._*
Oh no he mentioned the words “pats” and “Geno’s” the Philly monsters will attack
This guy is literally the only BA content I can stand to watch anymore
Same.
A man & his passion - fine cheese steak dining!
I love this man ❤ pause 😂
I just wanna travel the world with this guy.
I'm feeling Harold. More, please.
i just love listening to him talk. something about him is so comforting to me idk 😅
Great job! My mouth was watering!
Harold! Doing it right! My man! This man needs his own show.
The crunch on the bread when he bites in makes me want it
Looks delicious. I use short rib like this all the time. If you have it really cold or even partially frozen it's much easier to slice thin.
More Unkle Harold !!! Give this man his 💐
I love this gent.
At 3:08 when he said when you go to Pat’s and Geno’s in Philly. Knew then we couldn’t trust his judgment on a cheesesteak.
Just tourist spots really…
You know I go to max ‘s you can’t share the spots bro you know the rules
Drove my 2 kids 7hrs to philly this summer just for cheesesteaks. Took them to johns roast pork.
Jim’s?
@@vail4639 Jim's is decent. It's a cheesesteak with an aftertaste far better than the steak itself.
One of the best places to go used to be Angelo's street cart outside of Liberty Plaza. RIP, Angelo. Dude died years ago, but they were some of the best steaks you could get.
That deli cap tho!!! 🤣
F#^*ing love Harold! Really enjoy his content here and what he brings to the table.
When your been drinking all night any of these will be your life saver !
Chef Harold is my new favorite
Harold should be on Desus & Mero
Great video I followed the recipe it was fire
So yummy!!!
this guy and the wine dude are the best at BA rn
Ohh can’t wait to go eat now . Harold makes this show
Harold rocks!
Appreciate you respect for the sandwich Ock. Bonus points for whiz wit and using an Amaroso roll 😘👌
“Tastes like hipster blood” 😂
I like this guy, bring him back! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😎
Loooove chef Harold 🎉
Harold meets Alvin Cailan GOLD
Harold is definitely a new favorite for most viewers it seems. Keep it up!

11:46 When the meal you just cooked is _that_ good you bet Barry White starts playing outta nowhere.
Homemade is always the best way!
Looks fire
Now I want a cheesesteak!
"Yo Akh!"
i like this guy!
Harold is a wonderful addition
Cheesesteaks in the deli hat is fire bro 🔥
With the thumbnail alone, I’ll go with takeout 😂
King Harold👑
i use that same bread for my cheesesteaks
I like this guy.
❤️ amoroso rolls ❤️
This guy's about to be a superstar fr
My guys the best part of bon appetite pause
the boss with the hat
*_Literally your notification bring a smile on my face._*
Philly native here. Not bad. Definitively a NY twist to it though. But one of the best explanations I have seen. The best cheesesteaks are not found at Pats and Gino's.
You can't say such a thing while Ishkabibbles is still open
@@PyceV2 ishka's definitely belongs in the conversation with Pat's and Geno's because, like them, it's another overrated tourist trap at this point lol
Philly native here. Still live there. This video actually sucks lol
Where then
Wrap it in foil for 20 mins and you'd have the same look and moisture as the delivery sandwich. I use eye of round roast.
I don’t eat beef but I’ll make this for my husband in a heartbeat 💗
Beautiful
Awesome bro
Harold is the best!
The best
That's 🔥🔥. I'll get mine without though.
The return of the griddle!
I don’t think there is any chicken stock happening at any Philly cheesesteak place
Yum
my favorite cheesesteak in this vid is harold♥
Put some al dente mac in that cheese sauce and call it a day. That stuff looks absolutely perfect.
ALWAYS TRUST A BIG CHEF PERIOD.
Best Show Best Host!
That is some quote by Chef Harold at 6:49 to 6:55.👍😄
HAROLD!! You the man!! Cheese steak made wonderful!
Thanks for sharing this Harold,
See you next time.
You need your own cooking show!
🧑🍳🔥🫑ChefBobbyRay
Such a beautiful sandwich my guy 👍🏽✌🏽🤘🏽
Tito Harold! WOOO!!!
Yummy teflon sandwich
"you get the best cheese" ::grabs velveeta::
Watching this was a mistake. Now i gotta get one. Thank God i moved to Philly 🤤
Harold has stormed to top spot on BA for me
mouth watering, shouldn't have watched this hungry!
green peppers + mushrooms wouldn't be like cannon, no?
He rules
Should shout out some of these spots so they get some recognition
Snacking cheese is very important to have around while cooking.
My man killed it. So sick of seeing people put anything other than onions and cheese sauce in a real Philly cheesesteak. No peppers, no cheese slices. 👏👏👏
Harold is my favorite ba chef
