Glad Lucas is getting more and more recognition. No one more passionate and enthusiastic about food, that can explain cooking logistics better than him.

[@Theoryofcatsndogs]

Remember Anthony？ But he is very close

[@whiten0ise1]

Facts

[@grahamsong4585]

Yes RIP Bourdain. But honestly, I get the same enjoyment as watching Lucas eat and explain too. We all miss Anthony Bourdain, no one cooler on the planet

[@gogomiguelito]

Lucas is killing the game right now

[@Charliengo99]

@@Theoryofcatsndogs I agree, Anthony is obviously the goat, and the gateway for all these new and upcoming chefs. Just gotta respect what Lucas is doing and how much he's been grinding ahead of the many influencers/chefs we see out there. Someone who knows his roots/classics very well but also is adapting to the new methods of cooking. His growth over the few years has been fantastic! Always excited to watch his content.

[@msleecube]

Another Lucas fan here. Only he has the ability to take the audience there with him throughout every single bite. What a precious gift. Thanks NatGeo

[@NatGeo]

We love Lucas and we love his fans! Thanks for watching❤

[@egrose]

The moment I saw Lucas' name in the title, i had to watch from start to finish. his personality, passion and insights shine again.

[@TanukiSC]

Lucas is just an absolute legend. And what an experience. Just fantastic from start to finish.

[@NatGeo]

Thank you for watching!🍣Which sushi dish was your favorite?

[@DoJoStan]

Lucas is so personable in the way he talks about food, the way you're suppose to eat it, the way it's prepared. His enthusiasm about the entire experience is so fun to watch.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

Lucas was so great in this. I wanted him to have this experience, and I loved how he appreciated it and was able to convey so much to us. Surprise him again somewhere in the world - it's super fun.

[@evazubeck]

Loved Lucas in this episode, he’s clearly in his element 🙌 Can’t wait to see more of this series 🤫😉

[@NatGeo]

So excited for the next episode!❤

[@icerag]

Lucas is probably the best at describing food. Very knowledgeable and appreciative.

[@DryHeaveSteve]

11:18. Perfectly human reaction to the butchery of a Blue Fin Tuna

[@tonyk1234]

lucas is the only chef i want to watch travel and vlog for food. very deserving

[@zmbp]

11:51 "I picked up kitchen level Japanese... Which is 50% grunting" 😂

[@imightbebiased9311]

I felt that when he said that an ex telling him his Japanese was bad made him discard his Japanese.

[@KarmaticEvolution]

@@imightbebiased9311 I am empathize. I am 1/2 Vietnamese and even my mom won't try to be positive when I try to pronounce Vietnamese words, makes it difficult to have the confidence to continue to try.

[@imbatmanbuturnot]

mayb why the ex was discarded

[@lisadixon2494]

Anytime I see Lucas I will watch - the passion for food, the craft of the people behind the food, whether it be chef or fishing crew, is unmatched. He has a way of conveying this passion through his enthusiasm and attention to detailed that makes it brilliant to watch. thank you

[@Persocondes]

Lucas is the only 1 youtuber i don't use 2 speed to watch

[@partyincali1519]

The way Lucas can colorize and visualize taste with his words describing food is an absolute joy to watch. It’s like feeling that one scene in Ratatouille over and over again.

[@bitbybituin]

i'm soooo happy to see lucas getting more and more features on different channels. he needs his own show or series!!

[@andyvong9660]

More Lucas please. Such an articulate and expressive personality

[@NatGeo]

Lucas is the best!

[@kevdog85]

I’M OBSESSED WTIH LUCAS! PLEASE MAKE MORE CONTENT! A WHOLE SERIES ASAP PLEASEEEE ❤

[@minge9]

Lucas is having his own Eddie Huang moment, he's everywhere now!!! So happy for him

[@ibec69]

Haha I love the unpretentiousness of the grater guy. Lucas: Do your philosophies match? Grater Guy: There’s no philosophy. I’m just doing my job.

[@brandonsutton3714]

Chef Lucas is always a pleasure to watch. He seems like he has a great personality and I think it translates very well to the viewer.

[@jumbokevin]

Lucas is a world treasure. Protect him at all costs

[@gabriel.hongkong]

I'm glad Lucas is being recognized more and more. His videos on my hometown of Hong Kong is A++

[@theblondeone7771]

Being pregnant with HEAVY food aversions, the one thing I’ve been craving since the start was fresh sushi, this episode has me nothing short of pure envy!

[@protopigeon]

Lucas is so good to watch. knowledgable and eager to learn more. great vid!

[@NatGeo]

We love Lucas! Thanks so much for watching!❤

[@rikkimontero]

Greetings from Seattle Lucas! What an incredible experience you have shared with us. I’ve only been to Tokyo once in my life but I dream of the day I am fortunate to go again. I’m grateful to you for your teachings and wisdom you share when you cook and show us amazing places to eat during your travels. You’re an inspirational culinary educator.

[@scottgollahon3681]

I LOVE Lucas's videos he is insightful, deliberate in his analysis and conveys joy in his experience he's not just another person eating food.....keep the videos coming!!!!

[@Jason.rimando]

That was epic. The storytelling and the genuine interactions with the two chefs were awesome. I’d love to be part of the film crew for this series one day.

[@call_me_ping]

Lucas is so illustrative and inviting as he speaks! His passion and ever-growing content knowledge/experience is so fun!

[@enokii]

I started out wanting to see Lucas cry, still want him to but now I'm tearing up. What an amazing experience, can't wait for the next one. Shoutout to the editors and producers, that record scratch moment was fun as heck.

[@yeow0008]

This gotta be the best respect and representation of omakase sushi EVER

[@NatGeo]

Who's ready for an epic sushi experience?😎

[@MiraDhakal]

me!!!!!!!🙋🏻‍♀️ everything looks so good😭

[@thecarlob_007]

Hey, why’d you have to mess up lucas’ vacation like that when you could just as easily have sent me?

[@winglam3140]

Went there 2 weeks ago for my first lunch in Tokyo and sat at the exact same spot as Lucas. We were transported so out of this world that both my friend and I forgot our backpacks at the restaurant. The host lady chased us down 3 blocks, carrying our backpacks with her kimono and wooden shoes effortlessly like a champ. Shout out to the entire hospitality team at Udatsu. And thanks, Lucas, for articulating your experience so nicely. I still struggle to make an adequate Instagram post to explain what happened after 2 weeks.

[@xyberq]

I was born ready for sushi 😎

[@ppbbffaa]

Love watching Lucas describe food and processes. So articulate and I’m learning so much from him every time.

[@Dee-jq2ob]

I usually don’t watch food shows, but I watch everything Lucas is in, I can’t get enough of him. He makes me care about the food and love the history he brings

[@catsario7512]

I want to dine here! I’ve been eating sushi for 52 years. First sushi experience: New Otani Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. When I saw mostly Japanese businessmen staying/eating there I knew I was in the right place. 🍣

[@chisyt]

Lucas’ enthusiasm and curiosity brought me so much joy. It took me back to one of the happiest moments of my life, traveling solo and eating my way through Japan.

[@Judy-xg4eh]

This made me want to go back to Japan/Tokyo so much...maybe next year. Also i love Lucas and his interactions with other chefs, he's so eloquent and thoughtful.

[@Sarah.an9]

I like every time Lucas explain every single thing in detail, doesn't sound like know it all but we learn new things from him. GOD bless him and stay healthy

[@yellowfr0g]

LMAO Lucas is on all the channels. It's apparent he's been eating very well too.

[@JoshuaC923]

He has hasn't he 😂😂

[@lcc726]

Lucas is on every cooking channel it seems lol love his presentations!

[@uglee7381]

As an American born Chinese whose parents immigrated from Hong Kong, I love these vids with Lucas! He is the next Anthony Bourdain. He is so articulate and descriptive in his videos.

[@diedermaas8784]

absolutely love the simplicity in his dishes while still being playful but executing to traditional standards, great vibe, bravo!

[@zennoodle]

5:50 This is the same expression when I stepped foot in Standing Sushi Bar in Asakusa. It may not have been the most expensive or crazy omakase but it certainly hit a note in my spirit and I will remember that moment forever.

[@itsthepens]

This is a truly excellent video. Moments of humour, extremely informative, such reverence for ancient and intricate culture, so humble and respectful and most of all making me so desperate to try this level of sushi mastery.

[@sauceokay]

Lucas taking over Nat Geo les gooooooo, making real hsitory right here

[@cynmarcyn]

Excited to have more Lucas serving us the best food commentary and experience.

[@kacymah93]

Sushi + Lucas = 👌 Love that Nat Geo asked Lucas to do this video, he’s perfect for the job!

[@DrivenPetrolHead]

Of all the youtube videos and and 10s of thousands related to food that I've seen, this is truly one of the best. As an avid traveler and one that has lived many places abroad (including Japan), this makes me want to go back soon!

[@morphiasas]

Love seeing Lucas went through emotional moments of unpredictable deliciousness this omakase session 🎉🎉

[@NatGeo]

So! Much! Deliciousness!

[@ehtikhet]

More episodes please? I’m glad that Lucas’ sincerity and culinary intelligence is recognised by everyone, that was really fun.

[@janson2911]

10:54 I can't express how surprised I am when a celebrity chef actually pays respect to style and craft that he hasn't mastered

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I visited Udatsu Sushi myself last fall and I had an incredible experience. It was my first omakase but I haven't had any better ever since. I ll be going back next year!

[@ChauNguyen-wi5pe]

What a journey Lucas had, and im glad to be apart of it. Thank you NatGeo paying the bill 😂

[@musteats]

I love how talented and expressive you are chef Lucas as an incredible storyteller taking us behind the scenes while imbuing us with joy appreciating your funny, witty, and sincere personality. Watching you was like having a meal with a close friend, smiling at all your expressions and laughing at all your hidden ringers. I was dying at the build up to your haiku. That was so you. Thank you for sharing your authentic food journey. Thank you @natgeo for bringing us this series with your own storytelling artistry. ❤

[@RadeTcg]

I’m surprised Lucas hasn’t been offered his own show yet. His knowledge and appreciation for cuisine is a gem

[@IamnotJokic]

This dude is a beast. His ability to convey the cooking methods, context, and history is something food media sorely needed.

[@DaniCha]

Subscribed because I don’t want to miss any videos that Lucas is in!!! Excited for more LUCAS!!!!

[@jimmyzhang9134]

When you tell Lucas one bite and not just the tip rofl!! 😂😂 His reaction everytime.

[@mayineverlosewonder]

All of Lucas's food content is always great. I also enjoyed the way this was shot, the atmosphere created with the sushi, polarized and setting. Awesome video

[@dracochaos12]

I went to Udatsu this past august and it was an amazing experience and fantastic meal. Definitely the best omakase I've ever had

[@NatGeo]

That's awesome! What was your favorite part of the meal?

[@captnawesome06]

Please more of all of this. Thank you.

[@gd-mn2yw]

Holy cow! Lucas is now on NatGeo? Superstar!

[@lisarodriguesart]

Here for chef Lucas and he certainly didn’t disappoint 😊

[@garvae]

If I attended such a ceremony, I would cry like a child. ...and would never be able to eat other sushi again

[@LuigiL75]

...pretty much!

[@321-w3f]

I already can’t wait to travel to Japan for many reasons and especially for the food but this is now putting me over the edge. Wonderful episode!

[@MitchellNabkey]

Lucas is by far my favourite person to watch on any youtube channel!

[@Quick-Question-Official]

It's 7 am and I would go get sushi if I could. What a mouth watering episode. Thank you Nat Geo!

[@annagirlieee5290]

Love when chefs attempt to convey tastes and textures. " It so amazing to walk into an omalase sushi gen with soooo much serenity and start it off with a texture that as westernerner yet still genetically an Asian I expected a kind of flavor which transcended texture and doubled down on true essence of sushi flavor. Comprende? Join me next week as I travel to a broken down taco truck in a hillside Tijuana slum- next time on The Travelling Pretentious Chef!!!

[@jasonwong4448]

Lucas inspire me to be passionate with whatever I do.

[@crunchety505]

Yay for more Chef Lucas! This is gonna be the best food travel series on KZbin for sure!!!

[@b.w.3257]

Love following your food journeys and adventures. Keep killin it Lucas!

[@johnmjoseth8534]

We dined at Udatsu in late March 2024. The remarkable meal was every bit as incredible as Lucas describes and Chef Udatsu was gracious and good-humored!

[@ElyseTager]

LOVE Lucas! I learn so much from listening to and watching him. Thank you, chef!

[@alandreau1446]

Lucas - wow, thank you for being our guide on this journey! The sushi described sounds and looks phenomenal. I very much like your takeaway about no innovation without mastery of tradition.

[@OneOneOneOkok]

I’m a big fan of Lucus. He’s such a good host and fun to watch.

[@lenmastrapa8720]

Enjoyed watching Lucas go thru the process, makes me want to book a trip to Japan!!

[@CC-kl4nh]

Absolutely love this! Thank you for bringing this to the world. Fresh wasabi is more complex with sweet , citrus and earthy notes. New paradigms.

[@MandyJoe-p8j]

Go Lucas! Thank you for letting us drool over these delicious sushis ahha

[@NatGeo]

Where should we go next?👀

[@ataragunawan182]

Bali (local and fine dining), Lima/Sacred Valley, Seoul, Istanbul, San Sebastian, Bangkok/Chiang mai, Copenhagen, Lyon, Singapore, Penang, Rome/Naples, Hongkong, Beijing, Chengdu, Athens/Thesalonniki, Barcelona, HCMC, Hanoi, Hoi an, Manado, Padang, Jogjakarta, Osaka, Fukuoka, Kobe, Sapporo. These would seem like interesting places to visit next. Hope you keep the series going! It’s an interesting concept

Amazing episode! Enjoyed to watch

[@Esbbbb]

Omg so cool to see Marimekko design on the plates at 4:42!

[@shirleyjhaney1041]

This is very exciting to me. I feel safe eating sushi. I feel like it’s healthy and that people who make sushi are good people. But it’s exciting to fancy it up like this,… I don’t eat sushi often- it’s expensive, I’m in the states- but I hope to. I like this. It’s art.

[@monase]

We just had lunch 2 days ago at udatsu. It was the most memorable meal and hopefully could get another reservation!

[@NatGeo]

Lucky! What was your favorite dish?

[@brozors]

I usually enjoy videos with Lucas in them, but I felt like I was watching an infomercial with this one.

[@1999yanks]

He’s one of the best at describing food.

Which sushi dish would YOU want to try?🍣

[@TheVexed1984]

Yes.

There's something spiritual about preparing and consuming sushi like this. All of that was captured here. Great job! PS...what drink did chef order? So curious 🤔

[@CC-kl4nh]

I would be in tears after that kind of meal. ❤

[@DiuQuy]

So cool and insightful into the artistry of the process. Beautiful.

I filmed an eater piece on udatsu back in 2020, really cool to see how far that place has gone

[@beverlyteh4676]

What an unbelievable treat! Lucas and chef are amazing!!

[@NatGeo]

They are the best!

[@benjaminniemczyk]

Great omakase is difficult to describe. Even this host is having trouble! The best description I can think of is his: it just melts away into this flavor immersion.

[@Official-OpenAI]

It is a journey for sure.
