[@brycamp3237]

That was nice of you paying for their food. I love how no matter where you from, what color, what language, etc food brings everyone together.

[@culinarymisfits]

Absolutely! They were so nice to me I had to pay it back

[@shortylucy]

Indeed!

[@jerryoshea3116]

Great comment& I live here! &U have lots of places& it's all trial& ( &mostly) error!) And I can't handle lines!( unless the food is off the charts& even then) But for those who are Interested,the other local is 1724 E.Charleston..Near Maryland Pkway

[@jerryoshea3116]

​@@culinarymisfitsWell done,a classsy gesture& so was there's.👍

[@ONAZNAMSIULESOJ]

Hace 15 años íbamos puro Mexicano, ahora en el 2024, vez todo tipo de nacionalidad haciendo largas filas.

[@alissdiaz7052]

I love how you are not one of those chefs/cooks that think their pallet is the be all end all. You are wise and cool. Very refreshing! I’m excited about the new series!

[@judyhathcoat7853]

Thank you for your honest, cheerful, down-to-earth, hype-free opinion. It’s very refreshing! 😊

[@cinePHILe75]

Bro! HOME RUN! Absolutely love what you’re doing and this new series! Here’s to another 100,000 subscribers coming soon!

[@culinarymisfits]

Thank you kind sir

[@spencerhill6897]

This spot looks like the Katz’s of the taco world. Love it!

[@culinarymisfits]

Great comparison!

[@Gundo.]

Love the videos and how laid back and chill they are. Can't wait for more!

[@aladarsin]

Gorrrrrrrdo, loved it 😉 Your comments and insights are great. Keep them coming!!

[@jenniferadams2486]

I am in love with everything you are doing! Congratulations and best wishes always! I have never been to Vegas, but I’m so glad you are my tour guide and I look forward to following along on all of your culinary adventures. You have made me want to visit Vegas now! Big hugs from Texas!

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

Given you a full taco in line is legit, nice touch by the Utah couple and way to make friends from it

[@kimmarko99]

What a fun series! Looking forward to watching these😄

[@kimberlygasper7417]

I enjoy your approach to experiencing new food places in LV with no ratings. Thanks for what you are doing.

[@curtisrogers4190]

I just found your channel a few days ago and have been binge watching your videos. I am amazed at how many of your clients hire you to cook normal everyday food. I would have thought they would want more extravagant food prepared by a professional chef. You do an amazing job with your cooks,really enjoy them. I live in the country in Wisconsin and have 8 different types of outdoor cooking vessels so I really enjoyed your video of you cooking at a clients outdoor kitchen with the pizza oven. Hope you get a chance to do more outdoor cooking/grilling/bbq/ smoking.

[@bobbythompson6352]

Thanks for all of the amazing videos

[@cmh8fl]

This is the second video that people want to just give you food! The Best Friend restaurant also!

[@littleone7404]

How amazing is this couple !

[@davidamaya4550]

Well, there goes my diet thanks to this video. It’s almost 1am here and I’m freaking starving because of you. Lol

[@BROWNSTONEBEAR-1983]

Love the chopping in the background ❤

[@uglenddalejones2]

*Outstanding Culinary Discoveries- Episode 1 💯👌😋👏🏻👏🏻* *Definitely Worth Watching*

[@culinarymisfits]

Thanks!

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

Just recommended to a neighbor who just left for Las Vegas this morning.❤

[@wendywalters4930]

Looking forward to see the dinner tonight. The taco place would overwhelm me, I’d have to try the other location. I just made the asparagus with sun dried tomatoes and it was a huge hit. Making it again tonight😊

[@salsanacho]

You're right, the multiple line thing is weird. You need a couple people to get in different lines otherwise it takes a while to get a variety of tacos. It's like that in their other locations that I've been to.

[@rahmi.digital]

a nice refreshing KZbin channel man. Glad I found you.

[@Lyntintin1]

Loving this new series!!!! Like I said before, you are my favorite cooking/food show

[@actuallowroller]

Those awesome friends you met were fantastic! All of the food looked delicious and yes please. Looking forward to this series for sure.

[@fawkesy6350]

Hello! Your shorts started popping up on my YT feed, and I'm so glad you do longer form videos too! Looking forward to future videos and new series ideas!

[@krisrossi501]

I love this series so much. You are making me want to book a trip to Vegas asap.

[@culinarymisfits]

Let's go eat!

[@lindaang7814]

This would be a great series ❤

[@robinhaney9573]

This is awesome!!! Looking forward to the next one, ❤ from Oklahoma

[@chrislucchetti4494]

This was fun. Love new discoveries. But I do love watching your private chef vids. It’s what caught my eye. Thanks. Keep it up

[@ObsessedGames]

Can’t wait to see what you think of BF. If I ever went to Vegas it would exclusively be for the food places.

[@WhereBeansBeen]

That's the main reason why I go. It's an amazing food city 👍

[@805Coastal]

I love this series. The way you rate them is a great idea. I can't wait to try this place. Also......... how can I get a hat?!?!? =}

[@SaraVasquez-b8g]

Love the channel! 🙌I really enjoyed Giada’s restaurant at the Cromwell ❤

[@patriciap9307]

That is one of the places on my list to try on my next visit! Great review!!

[@culinarymisfits]

Sweet!

[@McFlyGuy7]

The two local spots are the ones on Charleston and Bruce and Cheyenne and Losee. The 3rd location that opened within the last year or so is across from Town Square on Sunset just off Las Vegas Blvd

[@delialusk1]

I live in Las Vegas but I haven’t even tried it But now I’m going too !!!! Thank you

[@Derik72]

Hello! My wife and I absolutely love Vegas. A few spots I would recommend trying: Pizza: Mulberry Street Pizzeria in Resorts World Ramen: Shokku Ramen American? lol: Sugar Factory Italian: Allegro in the Wynn Hope you try and enjoy! Love the videos keep it up brotha

[@nathanguerra9314]

I'm actually going to best frien this Friday. Planning on getting the big boy platter. Thanks for your content.

[@tericopas1442]

Can’t wait to go on this culinary adventure! You always make me hungry! 😋

[@tommarlatt5852]

Was very cool.

[@nizzy116]

I would go for the buche and sesos tacos lol!

[@davidgrybb8547]

Whooooooooooooaaaa delish!!!!

[@arewhyinoh8595]

Mama China, Magic Noodle, Hash House a Go Go, Shang Artisan Noodle, Road Kill Grill, Viva Las Arepas, Pops, Two Brothers... So many cullinary gems in Vegas. And you look like the tech reviewer Lew Later.

[@overtone55]

I actually loved tacos from next door at Tacos El Pastor. These look awesome too!

[@alecchase2000]

I LOVE that place!!!! That was one of the places I was sure to visit when visiting Las Vegas.

[@jamiekins938]

Great idea for a vid.

[@jillr759]

All I can do from jumping into the screen for a bite. Very crazy set up!

[@TurfMode]

Mulitas ftw another place Im going now. Thx Eric!!

[@nixmor5333]

Loved this...that food looked delicious.

[@claudiasmith9117]

Chef Eric. This is KZbin GOLD!! I am looking forward to this!! What a great idea!! Hey, how's the tiny kitchen coming along?

[@culinarymisfits]

I moved to Vegas and created my own tiny kitchen. I'm going to be introducing it when I start making some of the dishes I find at these amazing discoveries in my own kitchen

[@kayfurlano1462]

I totally agree that food is subjective as I’m not a fan of seafood, animal organ foods or chicken feet, hooves, etc. I gravitate towards scratch food and Italian, Chinese, or Mexican are my favorite. Veggies, most salads and fruits are great too. I’m not a froufrou type of eater, simple great seasoned food is the best!

[@Sonny1065LV]

Excited for this series, also get the slippery shrimp and the uni fried rice at best friend 🍻

[@pascualrocha3456]

Love your channel, You should try the Venezuelan food near the stratosphere in vegas. Try the arepas.

[@WhereBeansBeen]

Brand new subscriber here! You're combining two of my favorite things: food and Vegas. I would totally suggest that you explore the Spring Mountain Chinatown area. There are SO many gems there!

[@ordiegunner]

Love the channel, culinary school grad, back in the day, the Orleans hotel in old town had a killer buffet with all you can eat craw dads.

[@culinarymisfits]

I remember those days. So sad what's happened to the world of buffets out here. I think I'm going to try out the Wynn

[@thiefofelsweyr7652]

OMG I'm so glad you tried Tacos El Gordo! The Al Pastor sopas were my favorite when I went!

[@folukeatoyebi1110]

Very good. .....you're having a good time. ....😆😍😍.

[@catholicfran]

We ALWAYS have Tacos El Gordo! We were there a few weeks ago and yes, they are DELICIOUS 😋 they genuinely are Tijuana-style tacos. And, yes their local taqueria is busy too but worth it!

[@stevegilman8141]

Great video! I’m going to try El Gordo next time I’m in town. Best Friend is my favorite restaurant in Vegas - try the slippery shrimp and the ‘watermelon’ drink

[@jamminj8822]

dude, just found you. watched you cook for a private party, your food style, feels like if I chose a different fork in the road, would love to do what you are doing. I've always enjoyed cooking for people, still do, but for family. I love when my oldest son says' WOW' when I make him something he really likes. Also, LOL, that was my way of wooing women back in my college days... couldn't sing or play an instrument, but damn I will cook you a great meal.

[@Yolduranduran]

Tacos El Gordo is so clean there was a lady literally on her knees cleaning the floor where it met the wall. There were two ladies cleaning the tables, floor, trash cans, etc.

[@tjhafen31]

When I lived in North Las Vegas I was about a mile from the Cheyenne location, awesome food. Get in the exotic line get one then order from the other lines and the server will get them for you.

[@Birk734]

Thanks...watching from Germany. Liked and subscribed.

[@culinarymisfits]

Welcome!🙏

[@whoknew124]

this is perfect. going to vegas later in the year. now i know where to go eat

[@culinarymisfits]

Lots more spots to come

[@colinaitken9046]

Great idea🎉

[@laureenefurnari1609]

Honesty is always the best policy love what you’re doing

[@bestfriendzombies]

im a new viewer loving the content both as a chef and ranking restaurants keep it up!

[@patrickwhelan1392]

They started in Tijuana. They have a few stores in San Diego . Food is Fire

[@lorettastephens7945]

Everything looked delicious!

[@NotNormo]

I remember 2 things about Tacos El Gordo. Parking there is really difficult at busy times, and the al pastor (the pork on the spit) was incredible

[@RanissaScott]

Love your channel!

[@Rose-dy5bb]

Looked delicious 😋 I love tacos ❤

[@christinemoulaison3184]

I heard about Best Friend but couldn't make it on my last trip. Can't wait to try it on my next trip down.

[@krschulman]

I love your videos!

[@pascalplourde1648]

I love that place. Everybody is so nice there. If it’s your first place ask around clients will help you. 🌮

[@annabellegingell511]

Great video - thank you 😊

[@GeneralKel]

I look forward to Tacos El Gordo because their adobada tacos are the best ones ive ever had. The local spot is a little less chaotic but not by much.

[@alissdiaz7052]

When you are done eating you use the crispy thing by cutting it up into pieces and scooping what fell. I learned that recently.

[@ernie8]

Best friend is amazing! I want to recommend a local breakfast spot that is off the strip Egg Works there’s a ton of locations and their seasoned breakfast potatoes are the best! I like the corn beef hash

[@culinarymisfits]

It's on the list! Thank you 🙏

[@harryt154]

Great video. Please make more!

[@culinarymisfits]

Thank you! Already have some in the editor. Thanks so much again!

[@Rick-ur1kj]

Greeting all the way from the netherlands!

[@Meow-Meow501]

I will try this taco place next time in town. I’m glad you don’t use the tired old rating ways!

[@richbanick8091]

Monta for Ramen and Shang Artesian Noodles. Are two places I go to every time in Las Vegas.

[@thomasstergaardnielsen4282]

My best tip is Lemon Grass @Aria - everything is amazing there, I have to go 2 times at leat during my Vegas trips

[@crossovr1968]

LOVE Lemongrass!!! 9 outta 10 amazing experience… and when the 10th time was meh, they comped me for it being so. Definitely co-sign on Lemongrass👌🏾

[@calebbroday]

3:36 "theres a lot of little; like, mom and pops but like very, very few. Very few."

[@peterlubczynski]

We have a Tacos el Gordo in Pacific Beach in San Diego

[@rosemichel7559]

As a local, looking forward to finding some good places to go.

[@lorettastephens7945]

I want to try eating there now! 😂❤

[@gingerwong1892]

❤

[@cpatten93]

Check out zen curry. Warm springs road. Small spot. Not many tables. Or hit up the art district north of the strip. Cool stores and places to eat. Good breweries. Bbq. Etc.

[@beachobsession29]

ID go to a taco place and try the food. We dont have many taco places in Canada. Except for del taco fast food. Thanks for sharing.

[@joshviggiani9844]

I think Tacos El Pastor right next door is better and no crazy lines.

[@smokeye9765]

I don't know if you ate it right or not, but helluva first video. You could not have planned that taco lunch any better.

[@vanessapalafox3564]

hahaha..."okay I need my other hand to get in"....hahaha

[@culinarymisfits]

I was wondering if anybody was going to catch that. I thought it was hilarious lol

[@joyblevins8712]

It's next to the Wynn. It's always busy

[@liftyoeyez]

Next try Taqueria Casa Del Sabor ! The Carna asada burrito is amazing!!!!

[@nmw407]

My favorite place to go to when in Vegas. Next time you should try Shang's Artisan Noodle, Raku, and Komex on Decatur.

[@culinarymisfits]

I've done sharing. I just don't think I videoed it. I definitely want to go back

[@scottpope7180]

You missed the best taco they make, the Adobada! Next time!!!!

[@Scarecrow367]

Trop and Paradise, or Sahara and Rainbow 1 of 3 spots for Casa del saboro Al Pastor Tacos, be sure to get the red (orange) Sauce..

[@jillr759]

Wait isn’t it 126 degrees???? The tacos look very hard to beat! 12 days of Covid here and no taste that’s making me batty! I keep getting eat how could you be hungry? It’s so completely unsatisfying. Your a GEM to pay for the mates meal! Loving binging your videos for day 2 now. Stay hydrated. Until you have dinner see you then.
