Your Dad is a National Treasure ❤ I’ve met him at the restaurant a few times, because he always goes out of his way to visit the tables and check on our experience. A gracious, wonderful man.

[@davidpaul6615]

Good luck in the New Restaurant - all the best 🇨🇦✌️

[@kylena7533]

Going and checking out the tables and the experience is something a good chef does.

[@HoesLoveCoCo]

@@davidpaul6615 not too sure why you are writing this as a reply and not an actual comment 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lawrup]

He didn't heart your comment

[@HoesLoveCoCo]

@@lawrup nobody said he did 🤡

[@SMAnthonyW]

Seeing your dad interact with all the staff at his restaurant, his character really speaks for itself.

[@sexuallobster134679]

I love the guy but maybe look into some of the controversies about how the staff has been treated 😬😬😬

[@phonzzfortheworld]

@@sexuallobster134679 the restaurant biz is hard - everyone is human and everyone has their moments.

[@FattGum]

Yeah idk about that, look up his iou policy under his restaurant

[@dragonmaster909]

Ha!

[@dookiewu]

@@sexuallobster134679wow you watched one KZbin video in isolation 👏 👏 👏 lol

[@cesarcardenas9133]

Damn what a life, to accidently get stuck in NYC and not be like panicking af. A toast to your dad for closing this book of 23 years and opening a new one!

[@edhenn9934]

Your Dad should write a Cookbook, and or a Preparations sorta book. A series of books. Would be awesome. I’d be trying so many new things reading those books.

[@aeseiri1618]

If you look at the statistics of how many restaurants fail and realize what an achievement being in the same building for 23 years is and add to that being able to relocate and continue... this is amazing

[@nyaritagash2790]

Your father is a truly genuine person. I didn't meet him personally when he came to a restaurant I previously worked, from the account of our staff, he was a pleasure to serve. Very rare. Much blessings to you all.

[@UnderTheMillkyWay]

Seeing that sign @2:22 made a few tears appear. Those freaking onions. I know what it's like working in fine dining and it's fun, stressful, tears, excitement, laughs, memories, family and so much more. What's even more important is the bond your dad has with you and allowing you to be you and letting you grow and not taking it too serious in that environment. Your dad is immediately likeable and that's hard to come by so cherish all the moments and continue to live life to its fullest. Hopefully I'll get to the new place because I've been wanting to try your dads food for way too long. Best wishes.

[@TheSlenderBassist]

23 years, pretty dope indeed, looking forward to the relocation! Your dad is by far inspirational and amazing, the bond you share is no doubt unbreakable, next time I make my way up there I’m gonna enjoy the food as I have before on previous visits🔥👌🏻

[@lawrup]

Why don't you relocate to LA near hells kitchen

[@TheSlenderBassist]

@@lawrup lol you know you replied to my comment correct?

[@twincherry4958]

Wow, must be hard !

[@Paladinforthewin_xx]

This shows you that not ever chef/owner is a Gordon Ramsey scream team leader… I’ve never been so impressed with how well your father runs his restaurant it very calming and food is to die for

[@random-fish]

23 years in 2023. I always think of 23 as Michael Jordan's number, a number of greatness. I'm sure your dad had 23 legendary years at the old location and I think 2023 is the year to start something great, too! Sounds wonderful to me. Congratulations!

[@racheljones5134]

The environment looks so lovely. You can tell it's a positive atmosphere. What an honor and such a great learning experience to be able to work for your pops. One ❤ from Va.

[@jaymovesaround]

I love you guys, that one clip of yall remembering things u did as a kid in the restaurant felt wholesome af bro, keep it up 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Tom-et2cd]

I’ve been binge watching your videos for a while now since I came across your channel and just wanted to say keep up the good work. The videos with your dad are probably my favorite ones to watch. He’s so funny and cares about what he does. I always look forward to watching more of your vids.

[@ggsbruh]

love the vibes in the videos, always relaxing and refreshing to watch.

[@joehorton5089]

Just found this channel yesterday and have been binge watching! My new favorite channel. What an awesome father, love your guys relationship!!

[@177mrman]

Been watching u for 3 years man, glad u and Levi are deserving the recognition y’all deserve. Love u guys ❤️

[@Sweetheart_of_the_rodeo]

You can tell his staff really likes him. That’s not always the case in the restaurant industry.

[@deeznutz8320]

Chefs are under a insane amount of stress, if the food is bad he has to awnser. This man is built for the kitchen

[@expatAussietez]

The Singapore ‘slaw is still one of my favourite dishes from anywhere in the world. I spent 12 years in Toronto and had my last meal at Lee when I left 6 weeks ago. Your dad is the man!

[@Starkesea]

I would look up his IOU controversies. Maybe he's changed due to that but he's actually in the previously treated staff very badly

[@707ridah]

You Pops is an amaizng man. His personality and the love he spreada is addictive. I was a chef for 20yrs and lost my passion and I wish I had 10% of the passion he does for cooking lkke I used to. Yall stay blessed and closing a restaurant is a really hard thing to do cusse it's like saying goodbye to family.

[@CovidOrphan]

I'm sure you know how lucky you are to have a dad like yours, but I'm here to remind you. He's a gem. Lol

[@kennethbrooks8505]

You live such a charmed life. You have no idea just how fortunate you are. I hope that you appreciate all that is given to you. I hope you appreciate and honor your father. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏽

[@oleandrade5403]

Glad to see you guys man

[@Sensvibez]

Glad I came across this video. Been watching you for a little while and knew your dad from the food network and wanted to go and try his restaurant. Funny enough the new location is a bit closer to my house so that will be great. Can’t wait for the new restaurant!

[@facpmonitoring2959]

Jet, been watching your videos for years. Love your father & have so much respect for him….

[@Cynthiabecker24]

I'm a new sub.....am binging your old content and loving it all. Thanks❤

[@AFineProblem]

AHHHHH seeing the love and camaraderie in everyones faces... *Chef's kiss*

[@danielzhang6028]

Your content always giving me some chill moments. I have anxiety and confusion these days, my brain always rushing. Watching your video made me feel I can be mysellf, and not to worry too much whatever outside

[@alicelee5045]

The other night I watched an old video of your parents getting Lee Restaurant open 23 years ago. It is a surprise to hear that they are closing and relocating. Your mother was seen talking on the phone instructing the person on the other end to dress you and make sure you brushed your teeth. I feel sad for the staff who will be out of work. It would be great if Susur can re-hire them but it will be many months of not working for these people to wait for the new restaurant to open.

[@JoshuaZacharias]

walked by lee tonight and it was such a sad moment to know it no longer existed. had the privilege of having my birthday dinner there and seeing chef before it closed. looking forward to going to the new location!

[@beelstyle]

congrats to your dad, a beginning to a new chapter

[@DarthLink1986]

Hello 👋 first off thank you for the content. I have recently found your channel through your shorts and I'm really enjoying them! Your relationship with your dad and little family is awesomeness. And so cool that you share it with us. I also really like the production quality of the videos. 9.63/10 just because there is always room for improvement and innovation and your doing it ✊🖖✌️🤌

[@brandongambino7740]

The memory between you and your dad involving the benches was the most wholesome best thing ever I've seen it reminded me of my dad before he passed away I never really got to have a dad as good as yours cherish him everyday

[@aero1249]

aw ❤

[@LumiRockets]

Sad that such a storied location has to close, but I think we all get to be happy that the story doesn't end here, and there's more to be had in the future, and in a better (we hope) location!

[@stephaniehernandez3489]

Lol your dad's laugh is thee best! Congrats to him!

[@rev.valeriehamann4049]

All the best to your family ❤

[@joaniepeters2565]

Your dad is one of the most famous chefs in the world, he’s awesome!!

[@shut.up.tobias]

Damn, must have been a lot to get where he is! I love the videos, wish I could have come to see the restaurant because I JUST started watching but its wonderful the place got 23 years

[@kennethwestfall4769]

Love you Jet. I enjoy your posts

[@johntaylor6300]

Been waiting for the upload bro

[@jetpaq]

I love you Dad. I hope I am as awe inspiring and compassionate to my baby as you are to yours sir. Thanks for your unbelievable example.

[@sickbastard151]

Hello, I wish I could get along with my dad. your father is a very special person. very energetic, positive and can talk well. I think he would do anything for family and friends. such a great guy. you can also see that the employees really like him. very nice to see those interactions between father and son. thanks for uploading and greetings to your family from the Netherlands

[@TheBella2u]

Aww I want to move to Canada. Love your relationship with your family. Heartwarming.

[@dren8541]

your dad just went from 997k to 1.2M followers. i think it needs a video. love yall. peace

[@betsyr4724]

What a great tribute to your dad and wonderful trip w a hiccup. Thanks.

[@alisonfraser8231]

That was quite an adventure! I love your mini-meltdowns because I am the same type. I wish I could say it gets better with age. Yoga helps. Congratulations, Iron Chef Dad, on a great run. Best wishes in your new location.

[@user-fb1vw1vl8u]

I like these longer vlogs

[@Emixcxo]

Love your videos!

[@Viquor]

Although I didn’t have the greatest experience at the restaurant. Glad I was able to visit atleast once and support your dad.

[@mass9504]

Jet-you should drop airtags in your checked in bags next time you travel. it is a life saver.

[@darren7564]

Your dad is wonderful (I'm sure you are too!) 🧡

[@zooganabana4404]

Literally drove pass the location as you were displaying it on screen.Looking forward to it!

[@joseparedes7473]

I never talked to your dad. We shared a communal table in the 80's having dim sum in a basement restaurant popular for dim sum. He smiled at me throughout the meal because the way I enjoyed my dim sum is hard not to be impressed. We nodded to each other,he knew I was a foodie,before foodie became a common say.

[@greenlizardballs]

Lots of love bro

[@deanflet973]

So glad your channel jumped on my wall now a new subscriber.👍

Hi.. greetings from Singapore. Enjoy watching your dad n you from all episodes. .

[@Loknath009]

I really like how your family conduct itself with zero arrogance although you surely have a lot to be thankful for. All the best in 2024, keep it up!

[@kyuubie18]

Omg packing up in 10min because check out is 12. I experienced that where all our stuff including foods in the fridge were still all over the place. Packed in 10min and had to leave. Dope! PS: mad respect to your dad, my newest so ever idol in life. Protect him at all cost 💪🏼🔥

[@susanc.4242]

wow great memories. I didn't discover Susur Lee's mastery during his Lotus restaurant days. I was so fortunate to dine at Susur a couple of times and was sad to see it close. No other chef can match his symphony. :)

[@jaydub5515]

I just started watching your guys' channels. Damn

[@Scottwhittysydney]

DAMN!! Nova Scotian here and wanted to visit the restaurant! All the best Dad!!!!

I've looked into your father's history and got a bit emotional. Man, what a journey.

[@asli_mai]

i like that u'll never now what you'll see out of just reading the headline

[@paradiseali47]

I make cooking videos I’ve just started it helps with my mental health. Your videos with your dad are a big inspiration to me

[@expatAussietez]

My favourite restaurant in Toronto, I am going to miss this town and the Singapore slaw 😢 12 years in the 6ix now back in Australia, thankfully in Melbourne the gastronomic capital of the country

[@laamajon]

The on screen font was a nice touch

[@GamerBoy-eb4bu]

I love the inazuma eleven scene you put at the end

[@MultiGemgirl]

great footage of the game.

[@x24DAVID24x]

Can't believe I just started watching this channel. Love the content

[@BCC288]

completely zoned out during your story at the end

[@Luvdusti]

Jet the goat

[@h2beezy2]

the roulette is with you...always...

[@Rheinguard]

Oh thank God. I recently found your channels here, and was planning to make a trip to your dad's restaurant. Needless to say my heart dropped at seeing the title. Happy to see there's a new chapter to look forward to, but a little disappointed I never got to go to the original at the same time.

[@BTay04]

Great to see Jet supports the right side of Manchester

[@joyceehoo]

My grandma makes chicken in the rice cooker, love it 🥺

[@Meeklooperz]

That’s a beautiful Airbnb 😭

[@tightknit8650]

this is sad. Now I wish I went into Lee's and at least had a drink at the bar!

[@adrianljumanovic6329]

Luv that two tone jacket , id ? ❤

[@ririxoxo_]

Im so happy I got to experience your dads restaurant last year on my 25th birthday! Excited for a new chapter to start 🎊

[@jackfrags9896]

Congrats on the move of the restaurant, the area has become too much of a party atmosphere to enjoy a nice dinner.

[@patrice4050]

Start a series with your dad trying different countries cuisine starting with African stews and fufu

[@Ssydup91]

Such a beautiful place...🥹 I know it'll be sad because of the memories of 23yrs.... but Good luck and God bless you to your new resto.. I'm sure it'll be loved by many too not just because of food but with your guys personality too.. ❤

[@Kazaru0301]

I'm really jealous of you, i wish i still have my father. I'd do anything to just to make him love longer enough to the point i graduate and build my own family 😢

[@ViewtifulBeau]

2:00 man... HE remembered that... ❤
