First up, I try out the iconic sandwiches at Un Bien then trying out THREE distinctly different giant bowls of Vietnamese Pho at the renowned Miss Pho.
Next, I switch gears and explore the fusion of traditional Laotian flavors with a classic Italian dish at Ananas, where Laotian Pizza is redefining food boundaries.
hey guys good morning it's Mike Jen here
in Seattle Washington today heading to a
new Vietnamese foot restaurant that
manyi say is the best in Seattle then
some Lan pizza from the same people that
makes one of the best burgers I've ever
had but first an iconic must TR sandwich
shop
Ian so this really is a very iconic
sandwich shop here in Seattle never been
here People magazine R it as the best
sandwich in Washington Esquire says it's
one of the top sandwiches in the country
and here they serve Caribbean and Latin
food you can get sandwiches you can get
plates I got the top two most popular
sandwiches the press and the Caribbean
and the Caribbean is loaded with roasted
pork shoulder lettuce caramelized onions
and the pork is marinated in a homemade
sauce and it's sitting between very
toasty bread there's a little seating
area when I showed up there's already a
line but it mve pretty quickly so about
a 30- minute wait
I can't believe I've never tried this
before so you can by the sandwich it's
like watching the movie Oppenheimer it's
so good you feel it in your bones I mean
everything about the sandwich from the
toasty bread to the absolute melt in
your mouth pork is covered in that
marinade where if Hog Heaven actually
existed I'm pretty sure that's where
they made it pork is a mix of lean and
fatty meat which is already amazing on
own then the marinade just adds this
profound Umami
flavor with some nice tanginess and a
little bit of heat onions delightfully
crunchy jalapenos as a bit more of the
burn yeah calling this one of the best
sandwiches in America not overhyping it
at all the hype is real this is
absolutely blowing my mind with every
single bite their second most popular
sandwich the Press Rose pork smoked ham
Swiss cheese caramelized onions sitting
between the same to toasty bread as
before both these sandwiches contains an
absolute wow factor like just every bite
you take your brain will be screaming
your taste Buzz will be screaming your
heart will be screaming there's so much
good stuff in the
sandwich here the roast pork is sitting
on top of um banana peppers so there's
even more acidity to balance out the
richness of the pork just like before a
light sweet from the caramelized
onions this one you taste more of the
pork you taste more of the smokiness of
the ham but I am absolutely missing that
marinade I think my favorite definitely
the Caribbean that marinade with a
shredded pork combo that just make it
heart flutter every time you take a
bitee I can't believe I've lived here
and never been here cuz I could have had
this a lot and that would have made me
very very
happy when you're in Seattle must get
sandwich
and before getting into the food just
want to give a big thank you and shout
out to the sponsor of this video surf
shark bpn I've been talking about using
surf shark VPN for several years now if
you're not utilizing a VPN service right
now I highly highly highly recommend
that you do it's one of the only things
that keep running on my phone my laptop
24/7 because of course we all know that
nowadays all our personal information is
online and there's so many people trying
to gain access to it from data
aggregator who's trying to collect your
personal information to sell to
marketing companies or people trying to
collect your personal information for
more malicious purposes so what a VPN is
is a virtual private Network and what
surar VPN does is that it secures and
encrypts your personal information
before it goes over the Internet so
people who you don't want having access
to your private info they're not going
to have access to it also they have
something called surf shark alert so
when someone is trying to do something
malicious like getting access to your
email account you'll be notified right
away surf jop you play so fast it just
runs in the background I don't even
think about it but it gives me peace of
mind especially when you're out and
about connected to different Wi-Fi
hotpots at cafes airports these are
usually not secure at all and great ways
for people to gain access to your
private information so if you're not
protecting yourself in this way you
definitely should and this is so helpful
when you're traveling abroad and you
don't want to miss your favorite TV
shows or movies you can use SAR VPN to
change your location back to the us so
you still have normal access to your us
streaming services also I said this
before a lot of times when you're trying
to access us websites from abroad it
doesn't even function correctly so for
me when I'm traveling abroad and I'm
trying to pay my bills I use search rvpm
for that so if you want to give this a
try go to my link down below use my call
Mikey chin and 3 months for free so
peace of mind for less than a cup of
coffee a day all right let's
eat lunch I am here at Miss fuss so
everyone I talk to around Seattle tells
me this is a must try place right now
it's about 2:00 2:20 past lunchtime this
place is a line out the door and this is
really interesting they have three
different signature F all with
completely different flavor profiles and
since I can't really decide which one I
want I'm going to try them all oh also
before getting into the fot this just
showed up this is their famous seasoned
crispy chicken wings with garlic butter
on a level of 1 to 10 10 being the most
garlicky this smells like a 11 which I
love oh yeah this place do not skimp on
the garlic at all that was one of the
most beautiful garlicky bites in the
land of chicken wings and when they say
it's crispy oh yeah this thing is a
crispy that is a bold statement of a
crunch this thing not just garlicky also
buttery and
spicy outside Earth Shing crunch
incredibly aromatic and flavorful and
spiced up inside just juicy delicious
chicken and I think some ice vienamese
coffee is going to go perfect with
it o oh this is so heav I've been

not want to stop that this bowl is
dry noodles of course soaked up oh that
delicious Bey broth and when I tell you
this bowl of broth is Beefy I'm not

fragrant oil sitting on top of this bowl
of foot making it even more aromatic
giving it even more
flavor beef shing's awesome a little
peppery nicean
Tinder there's a really nice skying
flavor to this one that just completely
elevates the overall fragrance of this
bowl and the F broth light beefy and

so this restaurant is called ananas
Pizzeria it's from the same masterful
coloring Minds at T's Ox where I had one
of the best burgers ever that was a
leosan inspired burger and it was
absolutely wonderful same thing with the
pizzeria there's some really interesting
flavors I got two half and half pizzas
one is ananas and that consists of smoke
can pineapple pickled jalapeno tarashi
mozzarella and red sauce then there's
the LA pizza and that has cowy pork
there's also L larden which is basically
small strips of pork fat there's bamboo
shoes red onions Dill proone mozzarella
also red sauce finally magic Mario
there's shataki mushroom Pico shimi and
oyster mushrooms there's thyme there's
truffle salt Romano mozzarella cheese it
all smells so good also they have non
Pizza dishes I got their famous
signature of Meatball I absolutely love
meatballs feel like I must have been an
Italian in my past life I love pizzas I
love pasta oh my God look at this juicy
thing it is just glistening covered in
marinara with cotta cheese on
top very meeting obviously the marinara
balances out the
richness oh it balances out really
really well with an extra hits of
creaminess coming from the ricotta
cheese also what I like about this the
meat isn't just jumble together into
like this mushy mesh the meatball has a
fantastic Cheo great texture it's season
wonderfully to Quil the wedding seinger
that's a good meatball even before the
pizzas went into the oven I smelled the
pizza dough in the kitchen and it has
this Wonder wonderful yeasty fermented
smell and they ferment their pizza dough
for days the crust is nice and bubbly
and Airy they brush a layer of garlic
butter on the crust this is so light in
area look at this the dough is very thin
very reminiscent of a New York slice the
first piece the magic Mario three
different types of mushroom couple
different types of
cheese holy crap this is Next Level
Pizza R cuz this has got to be a must TR
when here in Seattle one bite it's all
took for me to tell you this is a 10 out
of 10
Pizza the pizza dough is one of the
lightest you'll ever put in your mouth
it's so so light beautifully toasty
absolutely melts your
out the topping is delicious love the
crunch of the mushrooms I love the
cheese I love how wonderfully robust and
earthy it is but I can't get over how
amazing the pizza dough is instead of
two half and halfes I wish I got four
full pizzas I mean this is a place where
you can eat a whole pizza and you'll
probably have room to order one more
because it's that light this pizza dough
is legendary the
crush so light buttery and garlicky next
one is the LA you can see the chunks of
pork and fat whole chunks of bamboo
shoes on here as well onions and Thyme
this tastes like a cross between a New
York slice and a neolatin pizza it has
the softness and the airiness of a neop
poitin but also that delicious
toastiness of a New York
slice absolutely get out of t with
this this thing is meaty it's Porky the
red sauce is tart with a hint of
sweetness you can definitely taste all
that awesome Porky flavor in this
pizza all right let's Trad into
controversial territory here to the
pineapple pizza this is the ananas with
a smoke ham and pickle halap
pios I never understood the debate I
love pineapple and
beaches let me know in the comments
below whether you're Pro pineapple or
not I think the sweetness goes great
with the red sauce and the savoriness of
the pizza itself pickle jalapenos very
spicy a little sweet love the
crunch all that acid goes so well with
the smok ham this thing is very bold
with its flavoring it's spicy it's sweet
it's Savory it's crunchy it's
cheesy and this one I'm so excited about
I also love anchovies on my
pizza wa if you love anchovies you'll
love this pizza because you can
definitely taste the anro there's not a
lot of anchovies on here but definitely
makes its presence known it's very salty
which I think goes great with a sweet
juicy pineapple
I like it this is definitely the most
anroy pizza I've ever had it's fishy
it's salty it's Savory it's sweet and
juicy be careful what you're getting
yourself into but if you love anchovies
I think you're really going to like this
especially sitting on that Airy dough
there's so much to like last thing I'm
eating here this is their elephant year
and this thing looks like an elephant
year it's fried dough with cinnamon
honey caramelized pineapples and rum of
course vanilla ice cream Sitting on Top
This is a very airy right do take some
ice cream some caramelized
pineapples this is fantastic it's pretty
much a light fried
pizza the dough is so light caramelized
pineapples sweet with a little hint of
bitterness from the Char of course goes
perfect with the ice cream I think this
is freaking fantastic didn't really know
what to expect walking in here but the
quality of the pizza of the food
completely blows me away especially that
crust I love New York Pizza I love
Detroit style I love Domino stin crushed
I absolutely adore Neapolitan and this
is so amazingly unique if you love pizza

Seattle today's just been an incredible
food day starting off with one of the
