46
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: like amazing sandwiches you're making for business?

47
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: What were you doing before Me and my chef partner, Marco,

48
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: we were both working in digital media. We were both

49
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: like producers, creative producers making video content for the Internet,

50
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 3: and yeah, we just decided to start cooking.

51
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: Okay, and so your food, your food is all along, right.

52
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 3: Actually, no, we we never had this passion growing up

53
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: at all, not as kids, not coming up in college

54
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: so we actually been in college, but we didn't do

55
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: any of that at all. It wasn't until maybe like

56
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, fifteen sixteen where we just wanted to get

57
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: all the friends together and host potlucks and like it

58
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: was just a way for us to reconnect with our

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: friends and you know, reconnect with our families. And then

60
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: through those potlucks, we started just cooking, started looking at

61
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: you know, random YouTube videos recipes, and then that kind

62
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: of just led us down this path. And then one

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: day we saw this video it was like, I think

64
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: it was on Munchies, where these two guys were doing

65
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: a pop up underground restaurant out of their apartment. And

66
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: this is before everyone had to pop up underground restaurant

67
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: out of their apartment, you know. And for whatever reason,

68
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: we saw that and then we were like, oh, we

69
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: could do that, and then we just we just did it.

70
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: I don't know.

71
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: So we opened up open market right, which they say,

72
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: you highlight rich cultural landscape of Los Angeles and the

73
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: cuisine here. So sandwiches are named after iconic LA streets,

74
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: like okay, let me ask you about the Normandy.

75
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: What's the Normandy sandwich?

76
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: So the Normandy Sandwich is kind of our take on

77
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: a friendship, our twists owners that we made it, we

78
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: had more Japanese and so we grew up loving eating

79
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: Yoshinoya and Yoshinoya's people is just ingrained in our in

80
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: our taste, bloods and in our memory. Uh and we

81
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: also love eating Fleeps. Fleeps is the LA Institution, home

82
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: of the Friendship sandwiches out in Chinatown, and we just

83
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: thought it'd be a great idea to combine the two.

84
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: And so we take beef brisket, raise it for like

85
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: six seven hours and gi you don, g you don?

86
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: Is that like kind of traditional Japanese flavor of like

87
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: sake kombu, soy mirror and sugar brings out to its

88
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: super tender. And then we serve it on a clut

89
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: streepaguet with provolon scallions, ginger pickle, radishes, mustard mayo, and

90
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: then we serve it with the cup of the jew

91
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: that the brisket was braised in, and so it comes

92
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: to the Japanese French tip sandwich.

93
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: Wow, that is the most creative, delightfully sounding sandwich. I'm

94
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,440
