lucas is such a brilliant presenter, but what really makes him one of the best on the internet is the research he obviously does. totally respects the culture and is so excited to put himself into a new situation. keep it up, eater!

[@boofdaclown7866]

Can't believe this channel isn't as big as it should be. This series is amazing as well as the meat show. The amount of work you guys put into this is unbelievable. You guys should have way over a million subs.

[@eater]

Working on it! We're like a fine wine, or a steak, we get better with age.

[@leeyaozhong401]

Eater do come over to Singapore and do a food show over here it there will be alot of food you guys can enjoy over here ~~

[@TheVanDamminator]

You're like a level 13 fu**ing wagyu you tube channel or however high that shit goes.

[@eater]

We're dying to visit Singapore!

[@leeyaozhong401]

Eater by all means do come ~~

[@Redjetplanes]

Lucas: "f*uking level 13 wagyu, however high that shit goes". Nick: cash me outside howbow dah

[@ryanxiong2715]

love that part on the video

[@thejompi]

Dat shade though.

[@MrJattsongs]

Searched for this comment as he said it.

[@TheDarwiniser]

why are you making stupid people famous? that teenage clown needs to sink back in obscurity, without idiots parroting her dumbass behaviour.

[@Redjetplanes]

Please do not take this out of context. This is certaintly not an attempt to condone Bregoli's actions/words nor popularise her. With 7.9m instagram followers, i don't think she needs any feeble attempts to make her famous.

[@rileymarieowens1490]

I love this series so much. Thanks Lucas for bringing honest and good food journalism to us all.

[@JuanATena]

Lucas loves his corn on the cob!!!! We need 30+ min episodes of Mr. Peterson

[@YesdogLive]

Lucas is a charming host, but the production is pretty solid too. I can imagine that it's hard to light and get good sound from public places, but they do a good job.

[@eater]

Thanks we try our best to bring you guys high quality content

[@RedKoiCarper]

thank you Lucas for sharing such an amazing place with delicious food with us! I have to give it to you for your charming and witty character on presenting the dishes and the show. Great job!

[@poppsiclesticks]

Lucas, You said you wished you did something useful. I think you can guide people to the foods and chefs that respect the land and our natural resources. That can definitely be a challenge but encouraging a culture of agricultural and culinary stewardship is, and will continue to be, an absolutely essential part of preserving our planet for the future. As a local example: the non-profit "Surfrider Foundation" certifies restaurants on Oahu that they deem "ocean friendly." No affiliation with them, just really respect the work that they do for our community. "Dining On a Dime" isn't exactly a perfect match in terms of mission or purpose, but you guys have the skills, charisma, and platform. Thanks for keeping local businesses alive! And for the onigiri! Beers on me next time. Aloha, Dylan

[@onlyprinces]

you are the Dylan from the video? that's a really interesting idea, having a show that could show you how to consume good responsibly with the culture and the environment.

[@clenelyn]

watching a lucas episode always calms me down and relaxes me. thanks for a great show eater

[@ribhudeb9853]

This channel makes me so happy and this show is probably my favorite show ever I love you all so much!!

[@eater]

Thanks for watching!

[@kevc7942]

I'm new to this channel and I like it. Lucas Peterson is "smooth" and describes what he is eating in a very subtle and pleasing way. He's also got skills beating that drum! LOL. 2 thumbs up!

[@eater]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheJensPeeters]

❤️❤️❤️❤️love your stuff Lucas and obviously all the teams work. Nothing but love from Germany

[@vechtman007]

this series is great man. keep up the good work

[@ichimeowninja1]

Lucas is love, lucas is life. Really love the series :-)

[@doodahgurlie]

Great episode, Lucas! I've been waiting to see you beat that drum since the preview before the season began. Love your facial expression while you are doing it!! BTW, the food selection was amazing in this episode. Everything looks so tasty! And your cursing....made me guffaw. :)

[@commentcopbadge6665]

I figured it out! I know why Lucas is so awesome. He does not go out of his way to be anything but himself. He's smart, humble, polite, quietly charming and unawaringly cute. And he's tall too. wtf? lol

[@superwangwei3630]

Lucas is such an intelligent host and he is also very detailed. Love it!

[@Savistohome]

Lucas' face at 03:08 had me chortle my tea. :') I'm also maybe now 3 steps closer to that Hawaii holiday.

[@ISeeYouOliver]

Lucas, you're awesome man. I can watch you eat for hours.

[@Okusername28472]

I frikkin love that place! Go to it every time I'm in Oahu! Darn you Lucas, you've got me drooling over the delicious food. I need to stop watching these on an empty stomach.

[@FLYBOYAIRMAN]

Your reviews are informative and easy to watch. Mahalo. I'm subscribing.

[@victoriatrinh8380]

Loved this episode! I love to eat everything u were eating! :-p And finally, the video was satisfyingly longer this time! I got my D.O.A.D fix for today! Thx Lucas! :-)

[@nishaismail]

I love Lucas. That's all I am going to say.

[@Norre]

We all do XD

[@usfoodhalls8721]

So hungry now. Thanks for sharing!

[@LifewithAnnaBee]

[@eater]

[@samuelbouchard4612]

Amazing series

[@siyingtan9325]

Great to see ya baccckk Lucas 😍

[@IchigoKiss]

Going to Hawaii in a week so I can't wait to visit this place!

[@jojominong8943]

Love, love this food court. It was my go-to when it was above the department store. Still my go-to now that it's in the basement (parking level) of the mall. :D

[@007Decky]

Lucas, you are getting buff! Whether it is due to gym or food, I really like it! The buffer you get, the more of you for us to love!

[@tosht2515]

Aw man. You can't talk about dollar beers and not have one! Wanted to see the selection. 😬 Love all the food featured today. Excellent video as usual.

[@NICOLEPOTTER711]

They show this video in Shirokiya without sound and I always wondered "what that guy was talking about" haha so glad i found it finally!

[@user-pi1tp4tu2z]

Hi! Dylan. Thank you for introducing shirokiya japan village walk. about okonomiyaki, there is no Tokugawa style. the okonomiyaki you were eating was Hiroshima style. and the other is Osaka style. Osaka is well-known of okonomi and takoyaki.

[@natureboy5518]

ill be visiting this place for sure

[@yochrisem]

Lol Lucas is such a dad

[@lucaskwanpeterson2010]

hahaha

[@Professorsavingsposts]

We teach saving money so this show rocks!!

[@feedthesnake3394]

"starting to run out things to say about meat on sticks" ... hahaha... Lucas is rocks because he's sincere. Nick and Lucas make this channel.

[@RustyB5000]

I want to go here so bad. this looks awesome

[@Suzy3223]

"This dish kind of seems like a hot mess"... love! Lol!!

[@TheStocktonSlab]

Effin love when Lucas cusses lmao

[@301susana]

From Hawaii, now living in Texas, and craving some Hawaiian food...of course after seeing you! !

[@egraseidannogew]

Love this place. $1 beer / $5 pitcher.

[@maggieedna]

I hope takoyaki is the new bubble tea. its such a delight and such a perfect junk festival food and so fun to make and eat.

[@Pfuddy]

this guy is an awesome host

[@Ndo01]

That place looks like heaven

[@ageeksadventureswoohoo9213]

loved shirokiya when I was a kid!!!!

[@chynanhua5562]

I only watch Eater to see Lucas eat😄

[@erinjohnson1124]

They’ve been closed since March 2020 for the pandemic. I’m here now and didn’t realize till I got here. Im sad but I can’t wait for them to open back up in the future!

[@gracyelizabeth3106]

Bad Boy Lucas Peterson

[@victoriatrinh8380]

Gracy Elizabeth haha bad boy indeed!

[@Norre]

The dude is awesome

[@gutimar0328]

RIP old Shirokiya! this new one is nice but I miss the old one 😭😭😭😢😢

[@imuawarriors]

mad respect for your research - I grew up eating spam, and we always had this and a lot of other canned goods in our cupboards because we always felt the need to be ready for emergencies (war, hurricane, tsunami, etc.).... at pretty much any meal in Hawai'i, you might have three, four or more ethnic backgrounds represented - filipino, hawaiian, japanese, chinese, and portuguese were the first immigrants, now there's korean, vietnamese, thai and others influencing the food culture here...

[@bvausch1]

this is awesome considering i was in waikiki 2 weeks ago

[@BroseFiles]

Dude. When I went to Shirokiya, your video was playing on all of their TVs! That's crazy haha didn't realize you were a KZbinr. Check out my experience at Shirokiya in the video on our channel 😄

[@suckitfloop]

man Lucas is such a good host

[@Ragna89]

You should try to come to Denmark! Scandinavian food is in a league of it's own :)

[@fifalafida]

Watching this makes me crave for some takoyaki and okonomiyaki...

[@jasonbean7296]

what a feast!:)

[@Johnnychi123]

Unfortunately at that food court it's a little over priced. But the beers are nice and free wifi.

[@619onmine]

BuddhaBelly that place there to make all the Japanese tourist feel at home. Not really aimed for local folk. Waipahu get better food anyways

[@gutimar0328]

4$ pitchers of beer depending on kind

[@slimkhalifa766]

The old shirokiya was better. Cheaper food and mostly locals.

[@magicmakerify]

619onmine where in Waipahu?

[@dkal9229]

Oops I think your map graphic in the beginning is incorrect. It says Kahuku which is on the North side of Oahu. Shirokiya is in Ala Moana on the South side of the island. Great vid!

[@eater]

We apologize, that oversight must've made it past everyone!

[@dkal9229]

No problem, most won't take notice but thought I'd let you know. Wish I was back home to eat like Lucas!

[@iluvpixystix]

D Kaluna I was confused abt that bit as well. I'm guessing they just copied and pasted that graphic from the shrimp truck episode and forgot to change it haha

[@dkal9229]

Miko S I bet that's what happened too.

[@bouncyoink1234]

Long haired guy is the IDEAL MAN! Haha

[@hahamattchua]

I love Wednesdays because of Lucas

[@jtwangster]

Lucas reminds me of Cory Monteith from Glee.

[@OrnateAtaxia]

Lucas is a precious buttercup

[@xoxo2280]

If they have in the yakitori place, you need to buy chicken skin with shio (salt). it's so delicious. Japanese favorite.

[@preciliahermanto5542]

Just curious but was there any significance to having sold 90 takoyaki balls? Like I mean why 90? Do they play the drums every certain number they sell or something?

[@florisplaysgames]

I would love to go to Hawaii just for the food.

[@majesticibex]

I'm not the only one who thinks Dylan the conservationist who studied botany at UH Manoa is a total babe right? (I need to be specific, aren't I?) Does anyone know his social media accounts? You know, for science.

[@kay3ear13]

Majestic Ibex lol 😂 I agree

[@cottonbuds6700]

i knowww right???? he also has that flawless skin

[@sundarpichai940]

Thirsty

[@seburkable]

I was hoping someone would comment this, I too would like to know his social media. Dylan, if you're out there, we love you.

[@joyjoyoo]

Majestic Ibex he is cute~ lol

[@vegeta9411]

imagine trevor james, mark weins, and lucas all in one episode. that would fucken epic.

[@younasparvez9]

He so cute!😚

[@WanaBgamer]

Childhoods were had in Shirokiya

[@HOTPOCKET789]

It bothers me that the location in the beginning said Kahuku but for those of you that don't live here it's on the complete other side of the island

[@brenstontreaudo6738]

Every time someone asks me if I want food: 2:33

[@WelfareChrist]

The Shirokiya village has a nice atmosphere and they put on shows which are pretty cool but it’s in Ala Moana which is touristy as hell meaning the food is overpriced, although not horribly (expect to spend about $15 minimum per person). The best value at Shirokiya by far is the beer garden, so I’m surprised he didnt mention it. Talking about $1 beers, and it’s a decent sized plastic cups worth too.

[@MissSabzSays]

RIP Shirokiya 💔

[@salemk.3098]

Is stall #36 Tokugawa still there? What stall did he get the yakitori?

[@gimnastiardarmawan6200]

at 2:53 are you saying that to the paratha dude in Seattle pasta video? :))

[@BabyGrill103]

I'd need a few days in that place😭

[@filteredcreativity9409]

*cough* give Lucas his own food channel *cough*

[@r0ssel0203113]

please more Lucas...

[@user-pv3ry6os8m]

tesyn hi tuyet v ngon thank

[@bvausch1]

misube with spam is awesome for a drive.

[@mulfunction]

Well I miss this show

[@homeboy510]

I wish San Francisco's J-Town had something like this.

[@PNWeucGamer23]

I hope u took that food to go! That was a lot of food! o:

[@danimal519]

Yeahhhh look at all the Hiroshima Carp stuff on the lamps @4:11 ! Carp Boy! Slyly!

[@andrechen2617]

@Lucas, why don't you come down to Singapore for a show? I'll show you around personally

[@ariel3725]

I love takoyaki. that's food haven!

[@natureboy5518]

my neeeega is back

[@AltarenGalil]

What would be the best city in Europe to experience good japanese food like that?

[@mikamorii4622]

Don't lie Lucas, you walked around this place for at least 30 minutes before you settled on what to order.

[@eater]

Why were you following us?

[@mikamorii4622]

tis the Shirokiya way

[@SouliantDivilat]

Lucas, can you take me on a trip with you too? I'm such a fan of your videos and channel. I just got done with college and working in my career field but I've working since I was 10 years old. I worked with my mother until I turned 15. Since 15, I've held a job or several jobs at one time. What you do is my dream job, but I never had the funds nor the support. I'm a foodie because I now can afford to eat good food. I'm 28 years old. I would love to travel with you since we're both foodies. 👍. Keep up the great work, ❤️u. -SOULIANT DIVILAT

[@JohnnyWithAGun]

4:00 "Something mysteriously called weiner" ahahah

[@TheCanadianEuro]

I have a bit of a crush on Lucas ngl

[@ss2smallhours]

My local tradition which i grown up with, is that, when you are eating noodle, you should not, in any case, bite the noodle and snap the string of those noodles. You were supposed to slurp it until the end of those noodle strings. Something about local beliefs of 'cutting your own luck'. So it is a bit painful for me to watch this when Lucas was eating the okonomiyaki xD

[@ichigokurosaki2725]

There is no such place in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was closed due to COVID. This place was the only place I knew in Hawaii where you could get a beer for $1. Thank you Governor IGE for closing so many iconic food restaurants. The only place that still exists is the mainland chain restaurants.

[@hehesluh1]

he kind of remind me of Peter Barakan..

[@dreammfyre]

Never skip a chance to eat grilled corn. -Lucas

[@AlexK-wp9ie]

7:35 lmao the women on the crutches

[@luigimario1144]

Guys Lucas made an appearance on Jane the Virgin and it was so cute ⭐💫😂
