ABOUT BON APPÉTIT
Bon Appétit is a highly opinionated food brand that wants everyone to love cooking and eating as much as we do. We believe in seasonal produce, properly salted pasta water, and developing recipes that anyone can make at home.
His food description are a million times more insightful than any other food vloggers out there. No generic "oh wow" or "that melts in your mouth" with this guy.
Oishii!
Helps having a trained palette as a chef. But yes I agree, Lucas is amazing in his descriptions and narration. I have really been enjoying this series, would love to continue seeing videos of him touring east asia (or elsewhere really!). Especially these small street-level places
Sounds like you’re describing mark wiens 😅
@@ahmadfuaddin I love Mark Wiens but he literally describes every single food the exact same way
He is better than some guys that have "daddy" issues. They like to 🥜 themselves in cars.
Give this guy a SHOW ALREADY!
I like finding Lucas all over youtube. It's a nice surprise every time
Weird that this guy doesnt have his own cooking channel with few million subs already
Lucas is gold. His passion for food and process is authentic and infectious.
Lies again? Heineken Carlsberg Debit Card
@@NazriB wut?
Well said.
really respect lucas for calling him a "master" ... thats who these chefs really are but people rarely say that just because they're not in some white table top fine dining setting ♥️
Lucas is the best, in another new episode. He visited a fruit shop in Bangkok that sells fruit dishes. And he addressed the young woman who was preparing the dish as "Chef". It nice to see stalls cooks being 'acknowledge' in that way
This guy manages to describe the cooking equipment, ingredients, and taste all with the same enthusiasm.
Lucas is, BY FAR, the best thing about BA recently.
8:47 😊in b . not hughie
Lucas literally drooling out of his mouth as he's describing the science behind cooling the crab glass noodles. Me too. 🤣🤣
Can confirm, Somsak Crab is the real deal. Sooo much flavour in the dish. For those who don't want to sit on the street, they also have another store a block away in an actual sit-down and more importantly air-conditioned restaurant.
Thanks BA.... Here's the freaking Location! Somsak Claypot Crab branch1 @Charoen Rat 1 - 2 Charoen Rat Rd, Khlong Ton Sai, Khlong San, Bangkok 10600, Thailand
When he said “Stupid” under his breath it was at that point that I knew it was amazing! I also call things stupid when they are beautiful. Lucas is a modern day Alton Brown
The chef did absolutely amazing managing, inspecting and cooking all the ingredients!! His internal clock for cooking everything to perfection while being meticulous leaves me in awe
Lucas explanation on the cooking process and taste got me salivating and got me more appreciative of the chef cooking and the dish. Havenly. Cant wait to check out this unassuming stall when i go Bangkok
His ability to narrate is the best I’ve seen since David Attenborough.
Lucas is an excellent communicator. Masterful storytelling and extremely knowledgeable.
I am so envious of Lucas getting to visit all these incredible vendors
Evocative, intelligent, insightful, educational, and infectious. Brilliant commentary...as so many have mentioned already. And, it's such a simple dish too. Which makes what Lucas says all the more impressive. This dish is one I love to eat. Although I eat it with shrimp mostly and not crab.
to notice the cleanliness of the lid,only a chefs eye can see
I love watching Lucas nerd out like this. 😄 More, please. ❤
So informative and expressive; love Lucas's passion toward food! More please.
BA and Food52 better keep up the Lucas content because he’s the only reason to watch their videos.
He's the best for describing any food.
Lucas is the real deal. Real knowledge and real passion.
love Lucas. he's so knowledgable about cooking. I can listen to him talk about cooking forever!
dude this guy mesmerizes with his commentary lol. love it
Here for Lucas content.
Found it! Somsak Claypot Crab branch1 @Charoen Rat 1 Bangkok is an incredible city
Chef Lucas is the best! Beautifully spoken, always so much insight in all his videos! Top tier chef
The way he explained everything in details like if I was there with him 😊
Chiming in to echo the scores of comments showing appreciation for Lucas! This was a delightful watch
Lucas is always the best in food description - a master of food story!
this guy is awesome and you can see how passionate and knowledgeable he is
Please keep doing these, love Lucas' insights on Asian cuisine.
The respect he gives to each chef and staff on the episodes is wonderful, no matter the location or dish.
Always have this for dinner with my wife. It’s definitely the best you would ever find in Asia.
Looks so absolutely amazing!!!
My mouth is watering & I'm not a crab lover.... great review of this awesome cook ...... RESPECT to you both !
Always glad to see Lucas back again
When Thais love it you can't go wrong with it.😘
I could watch 100 of these - please keep making them
Another Lucas classic! he's the best
Loveeeee Lucas!! His passion for food is infectious! Wish he had his own show!!
Yess and I just the way he explains it so detailed.
Lucas is awesome to describe everything in the food, makes me starving
I like this food blog because he is so thorough in his explanation.
We need more of Lucas content!
"With the powers of oral dexterity" 🤣 so accurate. Such a perfect description.
Lucas is the greatest way to finish my day!
We need more Lucas series videos
I’ve lived in Bangkok for 15 years. Much respect
this guy know how to talk about food..keep going mate
thank you for sharing.
I feel like i know how to make crab glass noodles as well as the chef now. Ty Lucas!
We need a whole series of him talking about food
Yum I gotta make this!! It looks simple to cook and delicious too.
really impressed with the vocabularies of how he describes/review this. never heard someone said "oral dexterity" before in a food review videos 👏
I used to live on that street. It tastes amazing! Aroi Mak Mak!
I love these videos, love learning with Lucas
The play by play of the cooking process 😮💨😮💨😮💨
I just became even more inspired. I'm seeing people that I admiring for artistry for food.
Love your content 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
This guy did an incredible job describing the chef’s approach, and then his descriptions during the actual meal itself were fantastic. I’m jealous, that meals looks a,aging.
Lucas is the BEST 🤩
Lucas is the GOAT of food vlogs
Lucas's love for food just makes me sooo hungry
Really appreciate the explanations of the process… you have the knowledge … I don’t and I appreciate it. Thank you 😊
This is the most informative KZhead video I’ve ever watched
the play by play is insane, respect.
More Lucas please. Goat!
Lucas may be the only few person capable of doing a food log under a podcast format.
Absolutely yummy
LOL, just love the seasoning of those noodles -- making my mouth water.
Thanks Chef❤
Genius!!!
you are CARRYING bon appetit these days
Perfection
great presentation of technique and culture.
Thank you, Chef. I gotta go to Thailand soon.
I haven’t tried glass noodles, looks delicious.
Oh cool! Didn't know that about the peppercorns vs chili peppers. Great video!
We just follow you , appreciate that you visit and try Thai street food
Actually the part that he mentioned about sechuan peppercorn arrivals in Thailand, the fact is there was something similar if not the same in the northern part of Thailand called “ma-khwin” which used for northern style larb.
FASCINATING
The dish has many different spices but is great
I see Lucas I click
I need Lucas to narrate my life
Unbelievable video Lucas
I wish they would put the location in the videos or description. I am going to Bangkok in a month.
Exactly it’s like you have to hunt to find this LOL!
If you google Somsak Pu Orb (Charoen Rat) Michelin Guide you’ll find it! Had to go dig through the Michelin once I see the sign!
2 Charoen Rat Rd, Khlong Ton Sai, Khlong San, Bangkok 10600, Thailand
Me too. I during Thanksgiving. I hope I can find this place.
Somsak Claypot Crab branch1 @Charoen Rat 1, 2 Charoen Rat Rd, Khlong Ton Sai, Khlong San, Bangkok 10600
DEVASTATED that this video's only just come out...i was in bangkok earlier this summer and would have given anything to try this :,)
Oral dexterity is crazy
I'm struck by how other countries have figured out how to do street food without the disposable containers that are so prevalent in the US. We could learn something.
This guy love his food...
Love thai food especially street food, but ive never been a big fan of glass noodles. Chiang Mai has a fantastic noodle stall at Tha Pae gate that has been there for decades. They do amazing Mee Gaew, moo Daeng, Luk chin. Aroy Maak Maak😋
I grew up in southeast asia and every time a recipe calls for 2-3 cloves of garlic for the whole dish I’m shocked BECAUSE LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF GARLIC IN JUST ONE BOWL OF NOODLES
🤩 wow
I went to this stall every time I was in BKK in the past two years.
It's about the food/culture and not about him. That's what we like. Creators of all types -- social media ain't a mirror.
LUCAS!
GOLD
I actually had this pot 4 days ago because of this video!
Lucas !!!’
i love the way he celebrates food that may seem pedestrian at first glance.
