British Chefs Take On New York’s Most Iconic Foods

We travelled to New York City to try the city’s most iconic foods, then attempted to recreate them back in our London kitchen. From a legendary Katz’s Deli pastrami sandwich and a classic Russ & Daughters smoked salmon bagel, to New York steak and eggs, buffalo wings, a 4 Charles-style Wagyu burger, breakfast burritos, tacos and one of the best pizzas we’ve ever eaten, this is our ultimate New York food challenge. We taste each dish in NYC, break down what makes it so good, then try to recreate it using proper chef techniques, from smoked brisket and handmade bagels to buffalo sauce, burger patties, tortillas and pizza dough. Can British chefs recreate New York’s most iconic foods? Or are some dishes only possible in New York?
