Ep. 18: Cheesesteaks, Candy Runs & Blind Rankings - Danny & Coop’s & Slik

Josh and Gabby kick things off in the East Village at Danny & Coop’s, the viral Philadelphia-style cheesesteak shop co-owned by Bradley Cooper and Danny DiGiampietro of Angelo’s Pizzeria. With lines wrapping around the block and seeded rolls stacked with high-quality ribeye, they dig into whether this Philly import actually lives up to the hype—or if it’s just another NYC wait-for-the-crowd situation.Next, they switch gears completely and step into Slik NYC, a Copenhagen-inspired candy and soft-serve shop from the team behind Smør bakery. From self-serve Scandinavian sweets like salty licorice and fruit gummies to specialty soft serve twists, they explore what makes this East Village spot feel like a sugar-fueled trip to Denmark.To wrap things up, Gabby shares another one of her coffee recommendations before Josh and Gabby play a chaotic round of Blind Ranking NYC Restaurants, putting spots like Lilia, KazuNori, The Smith, La Pecora Bianca, and Chada head-to-head—no context, no mercy, just instant decisions.
