in today's video i'm going to be trying the most classic of eateries in all of new york
juniors where i'll be eating some of his traditional american food as well as the thing
that makes this place famous cheesecake which is the best in the world according to some let's see
if you've watched my videos from america over the years you will know that i very
much like your food it is very good very very good and one thing in particular that i love
is your cheesecakes and right now i think i'm in the the home of the world of cheesecakes
not just american cheesecake but in the universe of cheesecake this must be ground zero i am at
junior's cheesecake right here in brooklyn this is a classic venue one of the best cheesecakes in
the world that is certified somewhere i'm sure of it but anyway this is a classic institution
here in brooklyn juniors and it's amazing i've been here before many times it's very good
and i'm excited to come back here for the first time in years and have another piece
of cheesecake so let's get inside because it's actually pretty chilly but you know what i was
actually in a place about a month ago that gave me a bit of pause for thought on this because
in london we went to a filipino restaurant called casa in kin and they had an ube purple cheesecake
which was life-changing it was so good like i don't say this lately just watch this footage
from london when i was in there eating their cheesecake i'm going to take you back in time
to earlier this year and a filipino restaurant we visited called kaza and kin in soho in london
which had excellent cocktails and traditional filipino barbecue but the reason i wanted to make
this reference in today's video is that its purple ube cheesecake was the best i'd ever had anywhere
juniors in brooklyn might be one of the originals but it seems that there
are new and exciting challengers in the world with cheesecakes
i've had some good cheesecakes and then the lattes came
i had no idea what philippine food was like or what it was about now i know it's all
purple tell you what i've always wanted to go to the eastern part of the world
asia the philippines is now very very high up my list the places i need to visit with that said
i'm going to end this little intervention and take you back to current times in new york city
that cheesecake in london was it was really really good guys and i actually thought when eating it
that might be better than juniors but i couldn't really remember juniors because it'd been a like
two or three years since i've been here so i am back i am in america i am in brooklyn and i'm here
at juniors and we're going to try the cheesecake not just me take us here as well it's time to eat
some cheesecake let's go inside and see what it's like but thank you very much for tuning everybody
if you're new to my channel don't forget to hit subscribe only 20 of you guys are subscribed make
sure it's all of you who are watching that would be grand let's go try some cheesecake
a number of celebrities are also fans of juniors as well as dignitaries including the crown prince
of kuwait while presidents clinton and obama have both visited juniors as well
juniors has been run by the rosen family since about 1929
and changed its name in 1950 to the current name of juniors and it's been going ever since
frozen worked with master baker igol peterson to create the cheesecake known today
as the world's most fabulous cheesecake in the 1980s when the building caught fire a crowd
gathered as firefighters fought the blaze they chatted save the cheesecake i had absolutely
no idea what to get here at juniors this time around but the waitress recommended something
which apparently is a classic here which is a burger with pastrami so it's half normal burger
half pastrami or something like that but anyway we'll see what it's like i'm gonna give it a try
okay well i came in here for cheesecake and i like i hope i'm gonna be able to eat the
cheesecake because this is enormous i don't know like would start with this it's huge
after you've done it before that's for sure
ketchup
how are you
okay listen the burger was nice astray burger is a new york classic but that's not the reason you
come here specifically to juniors come here the reason you come here is this
the classic the original junior's cheesecake
this is why you come here not for burgers not for pastrami
but for anything else for cheesecake i've been here before many times and trust me that she's
getting amazing but it's been a long time and i can't really remember what it's like
so i'm anxious to get into this let's let's just go for it this is a plain one the
original flavor you get all different kinds of strawberry but the original flavor is the king
light and creamy and fluffy look at it it's fluffy
i don't know it's not hot i don't know why i blew it
so creamy oh my god
sensational
okay can i have mine now
is it better than the filipino one oh my god
there's two different things
oh that was some mighty fine cheesecake one thing i worry about though guys
here in america your food is going to do some bad things to me i'm only i've only been here a
few days and i already realized i've probably put a couple of pounds i don't want to leave
this country like waddling out not fitting any of my clothes i've been losing weight recently
and it's all going to go downhill if i keep eating all these stuff so i think you know the
next day i'm going to go on a detox defeated by a cheesecake on my second night here in new york
that was good but i'm full was it better than the filipino cheesecake i actually don't know
the philippines the filipino cheesecake was very very good in london at kaza and kin i think i
would have to have them side by side to really know the difference that's never going to happen
because this is new york and that was london i guess we'll just never know it'll be one of those
questions but anyway thanks for watching i'm done stick a fork in me and i'll see in the next one
you
