This time we are in Brooklyn at Fortunato Brothers Bakery to learn how the best cannoli in New York City are made. Action's guide is Biagio Fortunato, a second generation pasticere and co-owner of the bakery.

Action Bronson kicks off his Never Ending Top Ten with a visit to three of New York City's best restaurants.

Then we head to Greenwich Village for seared tuna fat hand rolls with Thai chilis and scallions at Shuko. The only possible way to top this is sit down with the owner of Don Peppe in Ozone Park, Queens for the best baked clams you have ever had in your life. Enjoy!
Action Bronson treats the people of Long Island to an impromptu barbecue on the sidewalk. Bronson had asked his friends at Babylon Village Meat Market to track down a rare cut of beef called Cupim, the muscle on the back of Zebu cow, so he could make his first attempt at grilling the said piece of meat. While the grill is hot, Action's host at the butcher shop breaks out a wide array of dry-aged steaks for the feast. We even see Bronson freestyle a kebab on a chicken rotisserie skewer, to the delight of the many onlookers. Enjoy!

The restaurant is called Ix, and it specializes in Guatemalan food, but with an international twist set in Brooklyn. We then head back to Queens, and feast at the incomparable Merguez and Frites.

Solomonov and his chef Mike Mayo treat Action and Nick to the whole menu.
Action Bronson had some things to take care of surrounding the release of his first sneaker collaboration with New Balance in Boston. So Action took advantage by visiting the much-lauded Santarpio's Pizza in East Boston. Don't let the name fool you; although the pizza is some of the best in the North East, the lamb and sausage bbq skewers seal the deal in making this place a must-visit every time Bronson's in Boston. Besides the pizza and kebabs, we also get an inside look at Action's creative process inside the New Balance offices. Enjoy!
