    I’d be interested in seeing some videos in a “But Faster” series. Show us how to make quick meals at home faster than you could by driving out to a restaurant, ordering, and returning.
  • @BakersTuts
    @9:31 I like how they cut away right before the meat fell out of the sandwich and into the broth.
  • Does anybody else love taking Josh's recipes and doing what he says not to do, like buying the roll from the store, to make it easier?
  • @drashtove
    French Dips are one of my go tos at restaurants that offer them!! I'm always surprised how many people are not blown away by how amazing they are. They might actually be my favorite hot sandwich.
  • @aleksejkrpan
    Being a non-American, I've never heard about the French Dip sandwich, so I assumed that Weissman made 350$ worth dipping sauce, which wouldn't really surprise me at this point even though it would delve deep into the Mythical Kitchen territory
  • The french dips sandwich is without a doubt my favorite, especially with onions and mushrooms when possible. The french dip is probably why I like philly cheese steak sandwiches as well.
  • This was the best sandwich I’ve ever tasted in my life and I’m old!! Took me 2 days to make but so well worth it.
  • @MimicOfSol
    I honestly love the fact that Josh makes a joke about measurement being in grams, so he gives us the Metric value for mass, but then instantly proceeds to use Imperial for temperature to equally bamboozel the whole planet as one. In Confusion We Unite.
  • @TandemTuba
    I will never stop being beyond jealous of Josh's oven/stove setup.
  • @tayghill3845
    When he said "better than smelling fresh laundry, long as you didnt poop in the laundry" he insinuated that the sandwich would have smelled better than fresh laundry, but not as good as poop laundry. Food for thought.

    Hey Joshua first time leaving a commentary here ! I love your content it's so good to have people like you who give people the desire to cook. I've been cooking myslef for five years now and i'm super inspired by your recipes (they are so delicious every single one). This sandwich remind me a lot of how you would make a Philly Cheesesteak, it looks very appetizing ! Kiss from Lyon France <3
  • @noahsark342
    I like how Josh talks us through the expensive version, just in case any of us are actually wealthy enough to drop tree fiddy on a sandwich.
  • @Brawr183
    I really love Kendrick. I would love to have you cook with him one day. Especially if it was something inspired by him just for fun
  • This is my go-to sandwich whenever I go out somewhere. If it's on the menu, I'm getting it! Can't wait to try it at home. Thanks for the great video!
  • @kriscain6089
    Let this be known: if French Dip is on the menu, I'm ordering it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • I'm a pub line cook in Canada and have been making dozens of these every shift for a decade. It's one of the most popular items in every pub around here.
  • I literally eat French dips like all the time thanks for this video!
  • @elbolsillo
    I worked as a bus boy when I was 15 back in the 90s at Black Angus. Always used to get a French dip before/after working. So good
