not sure if it’s just me but fresh cracked black pepper is so good and refreshing in a egg salad

Love the “NY deli style salads” series

An Insta pot does easy peeling hard boiled eggs too. Also a mashed potato masher makes quick work of mooching the eggs . Just a tip from an old lady! 😊

I love how honest your son is! Very admirable.

I grew up in New York a long time ago. I left when I was young. Making your deli series recipes helps me remember a New York that I forget about a little more of every year. This is important to me because it helps me remember my grandparents that stayed in New York when we left.

Worked at a deli for many years, although not NYC. Skip manually chopping the eggs, get a box grater and use the big grater side on it. good texture, very uniform, far faster than manually chopping the eggs. If you're going to make 2 sandwiches chopping eggs sounds ok - if I'm gonna make 50 egg salad sandwiches before lunch today I don't have time to manually chop eggs. standard box grater, biggest grater size, grate an egg in about 3 seconds and get a super uniform and good texture out of it.

BIL is a chef, and he told me years ago to add the eggs to boiling water b/c it immediately separates the membrane from the shell making the removal a breeze. Works great for me!

I absolutely love James' critiques. He knows his food. Lol

I clicked immediately! Ive been eating an egg salad sandwich every day for lunch, for two years now! Im excited to see how this stacks up

The boy has a discerning palate and is confident in his opinions. Future food critic. Best career ever!

When I make egg salad, I use a potato ricer set to the largest opening and put the eggs in. So much easier!

I love egg salad. Have you ever put sliced green olives? James is funny. No matter what score he gives, he can't stop eating. :)

Most underrated deli salad! I love egg salad ❤! Gosh it used to be the most economical salad when eggs were $1 dozen. But hands down the best deli salad.

Egg salad with provolone and bacon on toasted thick cut bread is a great meal from my youth. Thanks for todays menu!!

And yes to more deli recipes and James cracks me up everytime hooving whatever he is eating 😂😂😂

I love your deli style salads! Easy recipes for go to sandwiches. I also discovered that if you boil the water first, then put the eggs in, they peel so much easier! How about a deli Rueben?

Tip for hard boiling eggs: I hard to learn how to hard boil FRESH eggs [like in day old eggs vs weeks old that you see in stores]. 1. Bring water to a boil FIRST 2. drop in a tablespoon of vinegar into the water [it will not make the eggs taste like vinegar], 3. Slow place eggs in boiling water with a slotted spoon so they dont crack, 4. wait for water to come back to a boil 5. turn heat down to low [or off if you prefer] 6. 12 minutes for smaller eggs, 14 minutes for extra large eggs. 7. Icebath to stop the cooking and chill. Works perfectly for me every time. Thank you for ANOTHER great recipe!

OMG. I had to pause my viewing just to say: My mom (93) peeled hb eggs this way! We kids all thought she was insane. We brought our friends in to watch our typically quiet, neat, calm Mom go nuts over these inoculous, innocent eggs by bashing them all in a large bowl w a dinner plate on top. Mom's normally composed face looking gleeful while bashing eggs was a vision. Our whole neighborhood on L.I., NY heard it! Mom currently in hospice w dementia. When I see her I will remind her how she carried our sustenance...1960 ❤🇩🇰 greatful immigrant, Wantagh, NY.

I love this series! When I worked in the deli in Maryland as a teenager the egg salad was pretty close to this. Instead of celery we used celery salt and dried celery leaves and omitted the regular salt.
