    Watch the full deli series: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0QyikC1o6v2h_olrbRl-0I…. You all loved the NY deli chicken salad, so I thought the tuna salad would be a great one to share as well. Make sure to refrigerate overnight before eating! That is the single most important thing with this or any deli salad. If you like these NY deli recipes and want more, let us know below! Thanks for liking our videos and sharing our family table each week.

    I love that the kid knows what he likes and is comfortable saying so. Nicely done, gentlemen.
  • @EarlWallaceNYC
    Kudos to the taste tester. It takes cojones to be honest with your dad at any time, but especially on video.
  • @EmilioMejia
    James is a tough critic. Every cooking channel should have their kids taste their food. That's the real test of quality.
  • @anthonyvaldez6892
    I work in a deli for a very long time. And all I got to say is to each his own. Make it the way you like.
  • @11candy11
    Part of the appeal of your videos is your son is comfortable giving his honest opinion-- even when he doesn't care for something. It gives more credibility to his higher scores. The sandwich looks great, by the way.
  • @norakat
    Just a few drops of fresh lemon juice makes a world of a difference.

    I was born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island, so Deli food is one of the things I miss along with local pizzeria slices. I still make my own tuna salad on rye bread, with Hellman's Mayo and Walmart New York Rye Bread, which is not bad at all. Since I have spent almost 20 years of my life in Asia since I left New York in 1975, I have come to appreciate Wasabi. I now combine Hellman's with Wasabi Mayo for my tuna salad. If you want to add something exotic to your Deli choices, give the Wasabi Mayo a try.

    Legit. This is very close to how we made our Tuna for 40 years. I grew up in a Deli in Flushing. Also I have kids now and they too tend to prefer the simpler sandwich. Really appreciate that you even showed how the sandwich is wrapped.
  • @Mike-kr9ys
    Your taste tester adds value to the video. I like the honesty of his views.
  • @dw4563
    Your channel is one of the few that absolutely nails it. The video the sound, the light background music instead of the annoying music that everybody else plays everything 100% perfect. Thank you so much!

    Toronto here..we serve our tuna melts open faced with a nice sharp cheese. Whole thing goes in the oven for cheese to melt and tuna to warm Bread is lightly pre toasted. True melt experience and very delicious.
  • @Rudy32225
    Gotta love James the taster who could not stop eating the melt that was not his favorite. Used to like tuna sandwiches from a work cafeteria, chef confided he added a dash of curry to the mix; it provided an extra dimension to the flavor. Thanks for sharing.
  • @JesseGast
    Working with an International Master Chef, we always placed our #10 cans in a strainer in the sink and then take the tuna in a handful and squeeze as much of the juice as you can from the tuna then flake it into the bowl that we would then add the dressing mix(mayo etc). That way the tuna is way dry and will absorb the mayo etc.
  • @jackierebbel4604
    It's so cute how dad gets excited when James gives a good rating. love watching you guys!
  • @barbaraalbert9071
    Enjoying your channel. I’m a homesick New Yorker🙂. Your son is sweet. I always rely on my grandson to give me honest reviews of my cooking.
  • @chadhensch4748
    Props to the "no bias" kid as the taste tester. Told it like it is. 👍
  • @julesjazzie
    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I often wonder how to make tuna salad taste better. I am a cook working in a care home in England, I have made your potato salad, coleslaw and they love it. The beef pot roast lunch was a blast, I put it as our international cuisine. Thank you so much again.
  • @ZepG
    In the 70's I loved tuna melts, now I love cold tuna sandwiches with lots of celery. My secret is to get tuna packed in oil not water and drain it good then use Hellmans mayo in a small amount just to bind it. I just made some last week and on a toasted brioche bun with lettuce and tomato I was in food Nirvana heaven!
