Okay I got some more praises for Lucas. Not only is he a great host but he's an even better guest. Notice when he interviews people he does not interrupt them when they are answering. So many hosts will always want to jump in with what they know trying to impress. There's only one other food host that comes to mind when I think of non-intrusive interviewers, Anthony Bourdain. He too has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of food but yet he still always let's the experts explain and talk. Like I said, great hosts but even better guests. Number one rule when visiting establishments, countries or homes, be a good guest! Thanks for being great Lucas!
