[S]Ladies and gentlemen today we are going to be presenting you with one of our favorite snacks to have:

[S]What the f*** [M]is happening in the background?

Now when you hear 'sando' the first thing we thought of was like, sand? Like is this involving sand or something?

It's a katsu sandwich. Now 'katsu' comes from the 'donkatsu'. 'Don' is Japanese for pork, 'katsu' is actually short

for 'ka-tsu-re-to'. So it's supposed to be pork cutlet, so there's the short of katsureto,

It's the 'katsu-sando'. [M]It's very complicated if you think about it. [S]Why are there so many abbreviations and words put together?

[S]I'll tell you the one thing I really like about Japanese food is when they name it, there's never anything like

foghorn legless" in which you look at the title and have no idea what it is. [M]Oh! Like in Britain when they're like "A spotted dick!" and

I'm like what am I about to eat right now? Why would you make that name? [S]There's no guesswork in the names,

they say what they are. This is a cutlet sandwich.

[M]Now I hear you, you guys might be saying something like

"Are you really, doing a video on a cutlet sandwich?"

So we got two different kinds of katsusandos today. This one here is kind of like the traditional one that I would say

you can find everywhere, and this one we got from like a hiri katsu shop

They also make sandwiches on the side, this one was more expensive this one was $5.

[S]Don't laugh, this package is a lot smaller than expected, but it's enough!

[M]I only bought the like, three-piece set because I knew we were eating two sandwiches.

[S]What the f***... [M]... listening to what's happening in the background there

[S]What the f*** this happening behind us?

[S]I think we picked the wrong spot in the park today

[M] (giggles) We picked the weird place, [S]We picked the weird place.

[M]Oh, look at that perfectly sauced, little piece of magic right there. [S]You ready?

Believe in your dreams. This one was: Hiri katsu

which means that [they] cut off all the fatty bits so that when you bite into it,

you don't hit any like nubbles of fat or tendon. [S]Right. Perfectly smooth meat. [M]Smooth is always a terrible description that we do,

[M]But, it's true! [S]No, you don't want crunchy meat, you want smooth meat!

[M]But it's not like the heavy breading that you get with like a cutlet in Europe and in Canada

Like the cutlets that I grew up with, coz I'm European or you know like pounded down meat

and it's got like egg and flour and then it's deep-fried and then when you like cut into it and you try to like bite

into the sandwich, this whole like breading would like slide off.

[S]It's just a fried pork cutlet with sauce on the cutlet and just pure white bread with the crust cut off.

And what's so amazing about that is that you would think: "Don't you need more?"

You don't, this has all the flavor that you need. The sauce is also perfect because it's added to the cutlet rather than the bread,

because if you add for the bread it might soak through the bread, but it stays onto the cutlet perfectly.

He was throwing sticks in the air, but now he's juggling!

The other thing that's amazing about it is they add the sauce to the outside of the crust when it comes right out of the fryer so when

It's like super, super hot, they sauce it and then it kind of like both: soaks in and almost doesn't, because I think the oil

so creates that little bit of a barrier and the panko crust on the outside

So panko is like a Japanese type of breadcrumb and it's soft and airy. It's not like a heavy drudging of flour

That's the right word right? Drudging? [S]Dredging. [M]I'm drudging making this.

[S]I have a question. [M]Question is: [S]There's an old dude that just walked past us with a marijuana hat on, [M]Yes? [S]Does he know what

it means? Yes? No? What do you think? [M]Leave a comment in the comment section below...

"Oh man I could really go for that katsusando."

Then we'll be like: "Yeah, we know what's happening here."

Also look at the bread right here, you see how thin that is? None of the sauce has gone through the bread.

This is holding the cutlet perfectly, for bite sized nibbles.

[M]"For bite, sized, nibbles". That sounds like, I don't know, nibbles are nibbles and bites are bites,

I think those two shouldn't come together.

If you're sharing with Simon though, that makes sense because he's like I'll just have a nibble bite.

And then I look down and there's like, half my sandwich is gone. You ate half my sandwich.

[S]What? It's half for us, we're sharing.

[S]You know what else is super important about this too?

Look, I'm an adult. We're all adults here watching right? Hey everybody?

I want my sandwiches to have the crust cut off.

Why is it that we only had the crust cut off as kids and as soon as we hit a specific age

you're like "hey, we have to have the crust on." Nah. I don't want to have crust on my sandwich.

Just give me the perfect amount of soft, milky

fluffy Wonder Bread kind of dough that's all I want.

[M]They do have other types of bread here like European breads, hard crust on the

outside you know. But when it comes to the katsusando, it's made with that wonder type bread

that you were saying. But it's a little bit sweeter,

and you kind of bite into it, it kind of sometimes sticks to the roof of your mouth, almost like paste-y

And it's super porous at the same time as well. It's not that gluey kind

[M]Gluey! There it is, that's the description

fluffy type taste of bread, like if you've ever had a meatball sub on like a crusty bread when you bite into it the bread

is so crusty and it just so hard, and you bite that it just shoots out your

meatballs likes like spit ball pellets and what not, that that is a terrible realization of a meat sandwich. Japan does it right.

So, I'm so confused. They're playing really creepy music in the background as well.

[M]I am gonna step in there for a second, you made a terrible mistake by not getting any water or milk.

[S]The flavors are in our mouths so we can describe them more.

and I'm gonna say from the get-go that this is not the traditional kind that you would get at a convenience store.

[S]No. [M]Every single katsusando we've ever seen, ever! always has the crust cut off.

[M]Now the only reason we're giving them a forgiveness pass, is because this is not actually a katsusando shop, this one makes the
