I Make the Ultimate Pork Sandwich in Portugal | Gordon Ramsay

Gordon is in Portugal this week and is cooking up something so good, even the local partiers can smell it from the sea! After spending a week in Portugal he's cooking up his take on the Bifana, a legendary sandwich full of thinly sliced pork, cheese, peppers and paprika. From front to back, this is sandwich is a definite winner!

"I see you baby shaking that ass" - most American thing Gordon has ever said.

My girlfriend is Portuguese and we have been together 4 years. The food is absolutely on another level. I’ve been many places arounf the world and none have come close to the food I had in Portugal. This however, while it looks delicious, is absolutely nothing like bifanas.

[jaketaylor]

Portuguese food is definitely one of the most under appreciated cuisines on earth. It is so damn good. The soups, the fish, the cheese, all of it.

Edit: I never should have made this comment. To all the Portuguese people out there, I understand this is not a real bifana. Please stop replying that. I just wanted to express how much I love Portuguese food, not get dogpiled because the sandwich has peppers on it and is the wrong kind of roll.

Gordon: Put some clothes on
The people in the boat: *Yes chef*

“Shaking that ass” is the last thing I expected to hear from Gordon… especially in a cooking video lmao😂

[nickocarlo]

Good to see people calmly telling Gordon in the comment section that this looks delicious, although it's not a traditional Portuguese bifana (in fact, it looks nothing like it). On Twitter everybody went batshit crazy like it was the end of the world!!

If Gordon was served that sandwich on Kitchen Nightmares, he'd look around confused about how he bites into something that big

I’ve had Bifanas my whole life prepared by many people from many parts of the Azores and Portugal. I have NEVER seen it like this. This is his take on it. Traditional Bifanas is mainly just pork, marinade and bread (usually Papo Secos). Would I eat his take on it? Oh absolutely. Looks delicious. I wouldn’t pass on good food even if it isn’t 100% traditional.

Never in my life did I expect to hear that come out of Gordon Ramsay's mouth 7:44

Not a typical bifana sorry. That sandwich looks absolutely brilliant, but it's far from a bifana, which is only thinly sliced pork and mustard on a heated papo seco (a fluffy bread). Never in 25 years have I seen someone serve cheese on a bifana. Red peppers and onions....sometimes... but a typical bifana only takes 3 main ingredients: pork, mustard, bread.
I visit their birthplace (Vendas Novas) almost every month and visit the oldest and original restaurant where they were supposedly created (Café Boavista). It opens at 5AM and starts serving all day long until midnight. I've had bifanas for breakfast several times!

EDIT: i apparently sparked a huge discussion and I just want to emphasize what a lot of
people are saying: if tourists come to Portugal and expect this bifana when they ask for a tradicional bifana, they’ll be extremely disappointed. I said “that sandwich looks absolutely brilliant” and I stand by it, but foreigners need to understand that the title is misleading, and they’ll (probably) never be served something like this if they ask for a bifana.
Also yes, we Portuguese defend our culinary almost as much as the Italians do. Deal with it

Portuguese watching these “look how they massacred my boy”

[RandomPerson-rncn]

Take a shot every time Gordon says “beautiful”, “most amazing” and “incredible”

[SM--]

19 "beautifuls"
10 "nice and __'s"
5 "literallys"
4 "incredibles"

[manelbotelho]

im portuguese and i can tell that this is not our “typical “ bifana but still looks delicious

[dillonr]

Justin saying "I'm not your daughter" had me 🤣

[vacplug]

he prolly holds the record now for the most "beautiful" in a cooking video

[hugobogus]

Although that "hamburguer style" sandwich looks amazing it is NOT a traditional bifana.
Bifana on bread is stewed on a pot and served with its own sauce.
Come to OPorto and order one to see the major different!
All the best Gordon

[mtldax]

Did... Did he just call "mustarda" a "hot pickled fruit"?

It's just... Mustard...

[i.morelli]

Wow! What an incredible creative way of cooking a pork steak - it really looks delicious and what an inspiration. However, after 62 years as a native Portuguese, eating bifanas all over this country, I have to point out that there's nothing remotely resembling a traditional bifana here, which is normally marinated pork steak, cooked on stove top (NOT BBQed).
Thanks for the new recipe on pork steak tough...
