As a Portuguese, from Porto (birth place of the francesinha) I can safely say you did it justice. I'm quite impressed. It's obviously very hard to replicate outside of Portugal, but you did alright! I'll just leave some key notes for a future improvement: - Francesinha is always only 2 slices of bread - it's never a double-decker; - The sauce is supposed to be spicy and tangy, while very boozey - thickening it with the slurry is obviously a handy shortcut but it shouldn't take any flour, it should be reduced heavily so the flavors get enhanced and ahve a glossy feel and texture; - Usually francesinha takes fresh sausage like you used (even though we don't make a patty out of it, we just split it open from its casing) and linguiça - which is similiar to chorizo so I would suggest using that instead of that other boiled-type sausage you used; - Even though some restaurants here do it, you're not really supposed to broil the cheese, the sauce should be hot enough to melt it. - The sauce is really the hardest part to master so I can only suggest to keep watching traditional portuguese videos to get it right. Great job and keep up the awesome videos! Congrats to Chance and his wife. Also - two last notes: the pronunciation was as good as you can get from foreigners and the francesinha is most DEFINITELY a one person event :p

All you need after this is a Sagres!!! Muito bom caralho!!!!

As a portuguese, I'll say your guys pronunciation isn't bad at all. "Francesinha" means "Frenchy" . Also, this looks like a great francesinha, well done

It is perfect, pronounciation was spot on. Glad to see one from my country on your channel, thank you

Congrats Chance!!!🤩🥳🎊👏🏼

I said it once and I’ll say it again I was a big fan of Sam back in 2011 I met him in 2012 in Del Mar and took a pic with him I was working security well now I’m a chef graduated culinary school and everything he was one of my inspirations thanks and don’t even know it. Thanks bro

Best YT comment ever. Congrats to you man.

AMAZING! Thank you Sam, Max and Chance

“It’s gonna be better this way than if I don’t do it.” Very valid point Sam 😊

I'm proud of you, Sam. You did pretty good with the ingredients you can get there. Good job, from a portuguese follower!

Congrats, Chance!!!

That looks phenomenal!! Congrats Chance!

Congrats Chance on your engagement !!

As a Portuguese I'm delighted to see you try to cook one of our specialty sandwiches! I hope you enjoyed your francesinha :) And btw, your pronunciation was perfect. I hope you make more Portuguese content in the future. Keep up the great work!

Congrats Chance!!! 😁 Remember, "I do." Is the shortest sentence & can also be your longest sentence. 😉 All the best man!

I've had this when i visited Porto a few years ago, we just called it a 'Cheese Floatie Toastie ' , it was LOVELY. Great video (as always) and i believe you did it justice.

Congrats Chance...best of luck to you both.

I love when Sam is excited about a recipe. You can see the giddiness in his face at the beginning of the video. I am the exact same way

Soooo glad I found your channel recently. Love all of the content and love you guys so much. You have inspired my cooking.

This looks like it hits all your macros for the day in one go! Maybe 2 days!!

Cheers Chance! I'm sure he's a solid dude 🍻

Gorgeous ! Congrats Chance and fiance!

Amazing recipe as always and also congrats Chance!

Thanks Sam! Prior to this video, I wasn't sure what this Bible verse was referring to: "Proverbs 23:20-21 20 Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, 21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags." Now, I know..... it's this sandwich!

Congrats Chance!

Simply fantastic!

Ahh francesinha. ❤ So good. Portugal 🇵🇹 is my fave place in Europe, amazing friendly people, great beaches and great wine and food. Francesinhas are 💣 and I also love bifanas, sopa da pedra, caldo verde and arroz de pato.

Hey Sam , congrats to Chance!. I’m a loyal subscriber from Trinidad 🇹🇹 . Would love to see you try to make our national dish/ street food called “Doubles” along with the sauces it comes with. Goodluck 🙏🏼

That gravy pour is the money shot.

That sandwich is insane! Nice job Sam! I absolutely can’t wait to make that one

Congrats on the engagement Chance. Best wishes. God bless.

Nice! And congrats Chance! 🎉

Definitely trying that..........thank you STCG team,from Mauritius Island,far,far awaaaayyyyy!!!!

Thanks guys. I laughed and it felt good!

That was insane! I must try that one!

Thank you, Sam! I grew up in Little Portugal, called Fall River, Massachusetts, and we have plenty of linguiça, which I am going to purchase this week to make this heart attack mountain of love!

Yes, linguica! I introduced it to my Italian hubby and he fell in love with it (more than Italian sausage).

Your accent in "Francesinha" is perfect believe me :) It's exactly how it should sound :D

ooofff gunna make this for breakfast tomorrow 😮‍💨

congrats to Chancy

One of the best sandwiches I've heard about in a very long time

I'm an American who was married to a native of the Azores for 22 years. When we would go back for visits I made sure that I had a Franceszinha at least once during our stay. It became epic in my mind and I drove everyone crazy back in the states with my recounting of the virtues of the sandwich because no one understands how life changing this sandwich can be. About two years ago, now back home in California, I undertook a journey to recreate the Franceszinha and have been working on it ever since. In a weird instance of parallel development, it was at about that time that I started noticing the Franceszinha all over KZread, so I'm pleased to see that the world has discovered the best sandwich to have ever existed. I'm working my way through all of the recipes, one by one, and some nail it, but for some it's a swing and a miss. The important thing is to make something delicious that you love. And true to the Portuguese, do not forget the booze in the sauce! Obrigado Sam, for making this!

Looks amazing!

That's definitely Saturday afternoon with a hangover

I want a screen saver of that gravy pour! Wow

PLEASE make a John Bull! You get it in some Lancashire chip shops. Its savoury mince between 2 discs of potatoe which is then battered and deep fried. Serve with chips and gravy 🤤

Perfect last meal before the electric chair!!! Sinfully divine!!!

Sandwich looked great..love when you guys do healthy recipes like this! I was in Portugal last year and loved the food scene there. I want to retire there. The seafood, the beef, pork, everything starting with the first pais de nata of the day was excellent.

I'm glad it took Chance getting engaged to convince you to make this I've been requesting this from you guys for years! Congrats on the engagement otherwise.

You relly did justice to the Francesinha, a few videos ago I mentioned you should give it a try because would love to see your twist on it. Well done and you should try more portuguese dishes. Thank you guys.

This looks soooooo good

I remember Lisbon, Portugal quite well.....when the U.S. Marines, U.S. Navy, and British Navy caused a huge riot in the "gut" during early fall of 1989. Good times!!!

Good call on the rotator thingy.

Lol, the MEATS are in the sandwich. Awesome!

Congrats Chance! And that's a great looking sandwich!

Congrats Chance!!! Lucky girl for your dreamy eyes lol

Wow, that looks awesome!

That looks delicious

This looks insanely good and is going to the top of my must make list. Congrats, Chance, and cheers!

Never heard of this, but it is a thing of beauty ❤

Seems like Maple Syrup would have been amazing with this.

Come on guys, a sandwich for Chance and he doesn't even eat it???

Yay. Finally. I requested this ages ago.

I bought that garlic paste tube and it is the best thing ever!!

Looks great and congrats to Chance.

thats badass

I'm from Jerez, Spain... I am getting a little old for this to sound good. My stomach is running for the hills! Lol

So good

That looks insane, and insanely delicious!

Now that looks delish.

Chance! We’re twins! just got engaged last week while visiting San Diego!! Celebrated at Not Not tacos after

I'm drooling!...

❤congrats to Chance🎉

in High school in Bonita, I worked at Round table pizza. they had linguicia sausage, and it was my favorite ingredient for our pizzas. soo good

Amazing

Regarding the sauce, I would put in less beer (drink the remaining :) and leave the cover off the pan so that it can thicken while cooking. Like when you pour red wine in a sauce for your steak. You will then need less slurry.

Sam! Please make your version of my beloved School Lunch Fiestada (an octagon shaped taco-style pizza)!!! Thank you!!!

First I have heard of that but have made something similar on my own. Mine was just two slices of thick toast, a flattened filet, ground Italian pork sausage, Swiss cheese and southern sausage gravy(like you see southerners put on biscuits). Now will have to try this...in a few years, once I finish my keto diet.

Soli loves your videos!!!

I'm going to make some adjustments on that sandwich. Yours looks fantastic but I'm aiming for great. I Appreciate it. Good day.

Congrats Chance...all the best! I’m Portuguese background in Toronto and that’s almost bang right on...very few places here make it but it’s always better made at home... Cheers 🇨🇦🍷🍺🍸🇵🇹 please do a book signing here soon

Episode idea. A Chicken Fajita challenge... Sam vs McCormick. McCormick Baja Citrus with lime added VS what ever same can do.

Chance! You bastard! You wonderful, magnificent bastard! What an excellent looking dish. I cannot wait to give this a try.

WE wanna see the happy couple in whose honor this was created...

Portugal is amazing

Wow that looks good and rich af. 😋😋😋

So....the Chanwich. Congrats!

Just had dinner, and for some reason am hungry again!

Congrats chase, I've had a similar sandwich in fall river mass, little Portugal, had with linguica, and had with chorizo, each corner has different choice, I love going there to shop, get some hot chorizo to snack on while shopping, then sit down next door anywhere and have a sandwich like this🤤, not going til Saturday again, every Saturday like 2 days ago, seems like forever 😭😭

Brilliant!

As usual: Totally amazing Sam!!! Maybe see you in YVR😊

My wife and her family are from Brazil, and i can attest Portuguese does sound eastern European at times.
