Season 3 Recap Episode

Concrete Eats — Season 3 Recap (Episodes 40–60) Season 3 was a full-on NYC food run, and in this recap episode Mel and I break down everything we ate, argued about, and couldn’t stop thinking about from Episodes 40 through 60. We kicked things off in classic fashion at Catch Steak, setting the tone with upscale cuts and big flavors, then bounced all over the city chasing everything from comfort food classics to hidden gems. Along the way, we revisited legendary pizza at Rubirosa, debated breakfast perfection at Swooney’s with their famous English muffin burger, and confirmed the hype around Golden Hof, a true sleeper hit that absolutely delivered—especially those pancakes. Season 3 also took us into premium territory at Nubiani, where we broke down different meats, cuts, and high-end packages, before closing things out strong at Sammi’s Kabab House, a spot that reminded us why simple, well-executed food always wins. From burgers to steak, pizza to kababs, sleepers to heavy hitters—this episode is the full Season 3 reflection, the hot takes, the favorites, and the moments we’re still talking about. If you missed an episode, this is your catch-up. If you listened to them all, this is the victory lap. 🎙️🍔🔥 Concrete Eats — Season 3 Recap (Episodes 40–60)

Concrete Eats Episode 58 "Golden Hof"

Concrete Eats – Episode 58 🥞🍽️ Episode 58 pulls up to Golden Hof — a true sleeper hit that absolutely lived up to the hype. And yes… we’re talking about the famous pancakes. Fluffy, indulgent, and low-key legendary. The kind of pancakes people actually tell you about — and for once, they’re not exaggerating. One bite in and it all makes sense. Golden Hof keeps it simple but does it right: comforting plates, big flavors, and those pancakes that steal the show without even trying. This is one of those spots you don’t see all over your feed — but once you go, you get why it’s been quietly buzzing. Low expectations. High payoff. Episode 58 is a must-watch. 🥞🔥🎙️

Concrete Eats Episode 57 "Swooney's"

🍳 Concrete Eats – Episode 57: The English Muffin Burger at Swooney’s This week, Concrete Eats pulls up to Swooney’s, a spot that flips a fast-food classic on its head. At first glance, the English muffin burger might remind you of a McDonald’s breakfast sandwich—but that’s where the comparison ends. Instead of a thin patty and assembly-line vibes, Swooney’s delivers a crispy-edged smash burger, real melted cheese, and a toasted English muffin that’s buttery, sturdy, and way more flavorful. It’s familiar enough to feel nostalgic, but elevated in every possible way—like if McDonald’s grew up, went to culinary school, and started caring about seasoning. We broke down the texture, the balance, and why the English muffin works so well here. It’s proof that sometimes the best burgers don’t need a fancy bun—just the right idea executed properly. Another episode, another NYC gem uncovered. Another burger devoured. Another reason Concrete Eats keeps hunting for the hits. 🍔🔥

Concrete Eats Episode 56 "Rubirosa"

This week, we hit up Rubirosa, the Nolita icon serving NYC-style thin-crust perfection since 2010 — and yes, we finally tried the famous Tie-Dye pie. From the moment we walked in, you could smell that sauce-simmering-all-day energy. The vibes? Cozy, loud, very “I love New York.” The pizza? Crack-level good. Paper-thin crust with that perfect end-of-slice flop, basil everywhere, vodka sauce swirling like art — it’s basically a New York love letter in pizza form. We posted up, grabbed a couple pies, and did what we do best: 👉 talk food, argue slices, make jokes, and destroy half the menu. Rubirosa is one of those spots where every bite reminds you why this city stays undefeated. If you’ve ever wondered whether the hype is real — it’s real. And then some. Another classic in the books. 🍕🔥 Episode 56… let’s eat. 🍕 Concrete Eats – Episode 56: Rubirosa Pizza
