Chef's Night Out: Saint Martha

In this episode of Chef's Night Out, we join Nick Erven of LA restaurant Saint Martha to eat our way through a booze-fueled feast of seafood, chicken wings, and crispy pig ears.
Nick and his pals start off the night at TART for some classic American comfort food, including truffled coddled eggs, fried chicken, and “the best French fries in the city.” After polishing off an entire punch bowl, the gang heads to the mecca of hands-on dining: The Boiling Crab. Armed with nothing but plastic bibs and an assortment of BYO-beer, the chef and his friends devour a pile of Cajun-style mussels, crawfish, shrimp, and crabs.
With the table (and their dignity) destroyed, the crew stumbles around the corner for shots at Nick’s favorite dive bar, HMS Bounty, before heading back to Saint Martha. After sabering some bottles of Champagne, Nick stumbles into the kitchen to help his rock-star sous chef whip up a late night snack of lamb curry with steamed sushi rice and pickled papaya.

[@Crawji]

He seemed like such a nice guy. Why the flying fuck are people hating on this dude...

[@AlqGo]

Brandon chilian People hate on trivial things that aren't worth hating...weird

[@anaamari5643]

The Boiling Crab looks fucking awesome. I've never been to a restaurant where there's no plates or anything to worry about. Messy, delicious, perfect.

[@Sesquipedelian]

Gromnok Windwaker It's a pretty cool experience. They give you everything in bags and if you're clean by the end, you're not doing it right. If you order the corn cobs, they'll throw it into one of those bags so it's sitting in all that cajun sauce juice. Go with a person who loves you enough to peel all the shrimp for you though.

[@anaamari5643]

***** I think it looks delicious as fuck, sometimes it's good to just let go and have a nice messy meal.

[@orangemoonglows2692]

Gromnok Windwaker it is good. you would get the shebang - all of the sauces in one bag with the seafood.

[@FP19487]

+Gromnok Windwaker It looks disgusting. All food on the table? Even RICE?? Ugh..

[@mwamburi]

Ana Amari Right???

[@generaldom]

11:47 damn bro

[@Chedda3000music]

Dude prolly had them chicks pay for the tab too #Pimpin lol

[@oltorf520]

Dom's Sketch Cast hahahahaha thinking the same shit. their combined age looks 35

[@Truform10]

I was thinking the same thing bro..white bitchez!!

[@karstenberning]

More Chef's Night Out videos!!!! :D

[@sanjayr]

I gotta say Munchies has really upped its game in getting non-douchebag chefs onto the channel. Dude seemed pretty down to earth and just all around passionate about food. Which is nice to see.

[@bryeap]

My favourite series from Munchies!

[@Oskarisadog]

Best. Food. Show. Ever.

[@matthewhogan180]

Went to go look up Saint Martha ... aaaaaaand it's permanently closed.

[@lipen99]

God, that prunus mume fruit beer they drank with their crabs is so delicious

[@haitianhendrix]

11:47 I want to be this guy

[@Cybergig00]

Blayer PointduJour Pimp game is strong

[@johndoughnuts]

Blayer PointduJour Lucky bastard, he knows what he is doing having them in the corner like that.

[@waynehedd]

Blayer PointduJour Black hipsters clean up in Koreatown... real talk.

[@DavidFSloneEsq]

Blayer PointduJour That, my friend, is m'f'in' Merlin Bronques of LastNightsParty.com. He pretty much invented the genre of the nightlife photography blog. He created a nice for himself, and, in doing so, for pretty much anyone who walks into the right party with a DSLR. Some mean-spirited little part of me almost wants to disrespect him, but it's simply not possible.

[@thomasdraper8935]

I don't know if anyone watching this is a beer nerd or likes beer memes but the friend Alex Kidd is dontdrinkbeers 😂😂😂

[@ThriftyBoss]

After years of watching this, I finally found my favorite episode. This is California Culture

[@chefmike9945]

Hipsters! Who are honest about being Hipsters. Are they in a Hipster 12 step? Awesome food, with a talented Chef. Excellent restaurants were visited. Keep these talented videos coming. Blessings ChefMike

[@freshbluntsbywinny]

Call him what you want, looks like a place ill sit down and eat.

[@shavannya]

please bring post covid chef's night out..

[@michaelguerga8184]

Bruno Paillard that's the deal !!

[@DY4]

It's the most important thing, who you're with around the table

[@killaCAM511]

Shout out to all my fellow malt mavens

[@Macfanize]

People complain about the hipsterdom on munchies, but honestly, these guys (and girls) seem like a fun crowd

[@Tyl1000]

I don't get the negativitiy seemed like a cool episode.

[@Chedda3000music]

I like "the kickin crab" better than "the boiling crab". KC's flavor is better imo, and usually a lot less waiting for a table for sure.

[@InTheKitchenWithJonny]

I love crab

[@Dave....]

Is that how you really feel?

[@joej800]

in the Kitchen With Jonny Boiling crab is the pinnacle of hot butter garlic crab

[@InTheKitchenWithJonny]

Dave is there any problems with that

[@Dave....]

in the Kitchen With Jonny Yes. I'm allergic to shellfish and I hate your enjoyment of crab.

[@Onekitchenblogfood]

Dave Just too bad mr. "I hate people who eat crab"... Why can't you let other people enjoy it?!

[@420DankSmokin]

This looked fucking sick :)

[@naveensilva2312]

Saint Martha looks like a restaurant I'd want to go to. Too bad it looks like its closed

[@TheGioBeast]

Wow, im about to try Tart this weekend!

[@bobbowie9350]

1:20 Hey bro. Koreatown has never been forgotten..lol

[@WindmillStalker]

At least he's self-aware of his hipsterity.

[@nappyrichards]

I never complain about apperances but that hat and the way it's worn, holy fuck I almost smashed my keyboard.

[@dirtslingerx]

I must have that buck fever hat !

[@100newkid]

So hipster! His personality is very contagious. Cool chef. Great Episode. That punch bowl looked REALLY good! Oh, make your sous chef cut his hair.. I'm pretty sure that's not sanitary not to mention kinda gross.

[@mrbigjem87]

Cool story bro

[@stegogilli17]

Munchies trolling so hard with the blatant LA Hipster... I about lost it seeing the neon hipster sign

[@frankwright9774]

Munchies is starting to get REALLY whack

[@jacksontran7139]

Only starting?

[@frankwright9774]

Jackson Tran fair enough, been whack!

[@020701304]

Yee Vee i suggest you refrain from watching heir videos then

[@kevstaycoolin]

Finally been a while

[@Mdxfiend]

haha I like this dude

[@MacKregor]

holy shit this guy knows his beers! GRATS BRO! #beergeek

[@ElliotLeon]

beautiful

[@mrbadx19]

nice to know i'm not the only one who gets hammered in this sickeningly PC world, most due to the same said world!

[@domdelaweeds677]

awesomeness

[@benhunter9693]

Nobody told me Norma Bates was gonna be in the video

[@deziking]

Hipster is already drunk.

[@SuperMegaUltraPigeon]

Better title; "Watch hipsters who you don't care about have a hipster night out!"

[@ErikHelinNYC]

SuperMegaUltraPigeon You could also consider... not watching?

[@jws14]

if you were ever in doubt, the hipster neon light gets turned on hahah

[@michaelfreemanbaseball7672]

Since when do dry and refreshing go together?

[@youwhatsuptube]

raw food so common in Asia... raw beef sashimi, raw chicken sashimi, raw oyster, raw fish everywhere... he talked about Soju, i guess thts where he got inspired by raw food.

[@josephmontero3398]

9;09 lobster what the hell hahaha

[@lemroy]

:o Alex Kidd

[@EpicMiller]

How do these people eat so much? Is this all done between multiple nights or do they throw up between takes?

[@Nothing-qq4hd]

MS hood lol they made mid Wilshire look some what decent

[@amarillorica]

Hipster is just the easy way to criticize these people in this particular series of video because those who pursue an artistic craft tend to be visually eccentric. But it could be anything. The message to me however is clear, that you people need to rethink the way you are spending your time right now because it is anything but constructive.

[@OsmosisMaple]

why cant they just cover from japan? Japan give so much interesting night out

[@Cheftony86]

Why it close ??

[@lucyhenley8283]

Why doesn’t the guy want to admit he hasn’t ever been out like this?

[@laurens557]

Are Americans always this loud in restaurants?

[@Cloud.210]

Yup, every single American.

[@laurens557]

Andy True, I'm sure not everyone's as loud as they are

[@KingDennisJensen]

laurens557 Hey, at least no one got shot in this video! Murricaaaaa

[@skibbz0r]

laurens557 drunk people are usually loud, yes, astute observation

[@slightlygone]

Hope they left a good tip, cause that's really fucked up if they just left all that mess there.

[@kiml85]

slightlygone I see you've never been to Boiling Crab before. Its expected to get that messy. Theres no practical way to eat Boiling Crab without making a mess

[@slightlygone]

Kim L. I have not, would really like to though.That is true, and that's one of the many reasons why it looks like a fun and awesome place to eat. All I'm saying is I hope they tipped lol

[@MorbidOrangeCat]

He's flailing & screaming in the middle of the restaurant...

[@Luciphag]

En nauti tästä

[@ImHankMardookis]

Going out on a limb and say this guys a hipster...

[@Drubes100]

Why does Munchies never end up in Chicago?

[@thedjartillery]

I've never wanted to smack a trucker hat off a hipster's head so bad in my whole life.

[@gregorybowman6851]

boiling crab=do we eat it or did we eat it?

[@shaz3r786]

$10 for 3 'tortilla chips' and some uni

[@chrismcquade4424]

Tart had a strange vibe.

[@TheKevolutioner]

MrBlackDarkness666 sent me here from hell.

[@mrdanthesnowman]

You can't make fun of hipsters when you are one.

[@112233jjooee]

Sideways hat.... /video

[@andrewtseng7019]

Really wish Munchies could get more LA natives in these videos, and have them feature places native Angelenos go. This just fuels that "LA is full of fake hipster douchebags" when none of these people are even from here.

[@obenladen]

chill out tom green

[@travisbull2152]

These guys seem ok...

[@vanbui2704]

Boiling crab is vietnamese not korean

[@nitindadar7933]

11:32

[@repe_e]

Not fine dining? Yeah ok.

[@aloevera7422]

"Forgotten" to who? To whites?

[@aznp2pro4u]

The boiling crab part was disgusting

[@kristiannelson7255]

Is this food torture? I am embarrassed for Los Angeles

[@dons731]

L a !!

[@notreallyici]

ok so WTHECK IS UP WITH THIS FRIGGIN EPISODE. we're not in 2012 who calls themself a hipster?? tha fuk??? also so weird that he named such a commonplace restaurant as a staple of KTown. FYI boiling crab is a part of Viet Cajun seafood chain and it started in Garden Grove. It's good, but I wouldn't say it's a K-town staple... LOL

[@TheNyancar]

HOW IS THE LINE TO BOILING CRAB SO SHORT?

[@golu_badbola]

This was a nice one.... BTW, that wife of his looks like she is on verge of cheating on him.

[@MyTubeIsBetter20]

if a hipsters is self-aware, is he really a hipster?

[@statis]

MyTubeIsBetter20 Yes, because his announcement of his self-awareness with a neon sign is an attempt to not be called one.

[@superdan422]

this is the type of guy that gives chefs a bad rap

[@TanNguyen510]

How so?

[@klugyboy1500]

Is every person in LA required to get sleeve tattoos?

[@Polywog77]

eats off the wrong persons plate that hipster is gonna get smashed up real good

[@r35chazer]

This guy is annoying.

[@Nvlutey27]

He seems like a noob at living in K-Town/LA.

[@imkayfull]

when I watch Chef's Night Out I sometimes think to myself, how do some of these obnoxious wierdos own a business at all...

[@maeganrasmussen5226]

Their Moms/wives pay for that shit

[@FP19487]

That CRAB restaurant though, is that normal in America? Coz it looks fucking disgusting, food on the table.

[@Amir14Ameero]

chef. please cut your fingernails.

[@Bob-gd4uu]

Obnoxious hipsters always

[@bouncyoink1234]

Hey guys just a suggestion if you hate hipsters then DONT WATCH VICE

[@heyheyhey0h]

the most stupidest hat of all time.

[@MP_Soundbox]

Yawn

[@Irowthe1x]

The guy seems like an immature, self centered train wreck. He may be talented, but I doubt he makes it far without hitting bottom first.

[@wetmittens0]

Damn, thumbs down and closing out because of hipster sign. If munchies puts out another stupid episode I'm unsubbing

[@ShootForTheSkye]

wetmittens0 This shit does look good worth a watch other then the douche host lol

[@ChewieTomatoes1]

It's OKAY to be a chef in LA without tattoos and stupid trucker hats. Its also OKAY to know what French cooking is actually about. Geezus, its pretty obvious he's such a poser.

[@Brettthickhammer]

not one of his co workrs other than his wife went out w them, pretty telling

[@adamtruelove9684]

Dude I never have a problem about hipsters stuff, they're part of the cult but this episode is just the worst when the other is still got that fun vibes on it.

[@itoverwithplaya4953]

Hipsters
