This guy turns into a valley girl when he's drunk

[@krisstofferabarabar934]

Glink hahaha my thoughts exactly

[@peterhirsh1706]

Glink Frank Zappa

[@SankofaNYC]

seriously... wtf happened to him? lol

[@willvr4]

I was wondering how to describe it, but that's so accurate...LIke....Am'I'rite!!!!!

[@jesuslovesmebetter]

Like totally

[@wrightflyer7855]

I spent a year in Thailand when I was in the Air Force. To give some idea of how excellent the food was, the only meal I ate on base was breakfast--all the rest were downtown, often in tiny places with swept dirt floors. That was 46 years ago, but I'll never forget the experience.

[@TEMPORALOBEPILEPSY]

good stuff mate

[@donnied6477]

that was great. chef's night out is hit or miss for me, but this was definitely one of the better ones for me. keep this series going.

[@arrowv1]

donnie d I agree. One of my all time favorites.

[@BassssicBasssssssss]

Every Munchies video: 'bring back Bronson and Matty, I'm sick of this pretentious hipster shit!' Have a day off lads; if you can't stomach different content then why even click on this in the first place? Save your stale memes and whiney comments for 4chan or reddit yeah?

[@Abd-xg3oe]

*BRING BACK LIST* Matty Matheson FUEL series

[@MrPriser]

Caramel bring back matty

[@TheMaxmust]

If you want Matty watch Dead set on life.

[@ae9167]

👏🏼

[@DarkRainb0wKnight]

This was really good! I don't know what everyone's problem is...

[@monat_son]

Ye why they hatin?

[@Qwertell21]

DarkRainb0wKnight they're too used to fast food and cries about how dishes are pretentious and expensive. But don't judge them cause they're from the the lower class.

[@conni70]

he did make a pretty uninformed comment at the beginning of the vid...1:27...last i checked, L.A and the greater L.A area has the most diverse range of authentic Asian food in the entire United states.. i'm sure his food is good, but he's not doing anything super original in L.A...

[@Mrmidtown1]

“I’m an LA chef”... dude; you just had an “I’m an American” moment. Welcome!

[@simonneslezak4540]

I hope the camera guy got to eat something

[@RangKlos]

His knowledge of Thai food is about equal to a five-year-old Thai.

[@JordanLOL]

Rang Klos agreed

[@sunrisegroup4912]

he tried sounding like an expert so bad lol

[@ThanakARA]

He is fake and never be a good chef. He does’t respect the food that he eat.

[@alexhenderson2815]

also he said he cooks "australian food" tf?

[@phety]

ThanakARA I agree and do sticky rice like that man I don’t even play with my food like that I find it disrespectful just cause I’m a Laotian chef , we don’t play with our staple food like that , I disagree with this chef and his knowledge about food .

[@lennybenz4281]

PLEASE NEVER STOP CHEFS NIGHT OUT!

[@prisciliatancongsonery5873]

ABC = Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce, FYI!!

[@GlinkBetweenWorlds]

Is he wearing a Death Grips shirt?

[@yesmaam6889]

*BRING BACK MATTY MATHESON*

[@benediktnokkvi1884]

YES. WORD

[@FasterToTheEnd]

arto and steve! that's fucking rad as hell. now i know where i saw louis before, it was on a video where arto had a bbq in his backyard and had louis cook.

[@vitkh3897]

that thai waitress is savage af

[@qiwenzhang3425]

he seriously turns into a valley girl when drunk!

[@Pammyphobia]

why so much hate.. this lad is cool and food looks good.

[@mikem4314]

does anyone in LA know what theyre talking about or do they just talk

[@bconni2]

in all fairness, he's not from L.A...if he was, he'd know how amazing and diverse the Asian food culture is in Los Angeles, instead of downplaying it...

[@davidlapointe6016]

I know I'm lagging, but is 'podcaster' a job for real?

[@samod7550]

Bro take your hat off in the restaurant

[@koolerthanapolarbear]

i was like, "hmmmm, not really feeling this episode". but then they brought in arto saari, and i was like, "waaaaaah, no shit, thats arto saari!"

[@theclipsyouchipfoe4172]

koolerthanapolarbear ,.....yupp I knew that was arto he fucken rides a Harley they showed on the way in to that Thai restorante

[@mrValleychef]

come to Sacramento...... look for patrick mulvaney or keith breedlove for an episode.... great chefs, two varied disciplines

[@cameronwick]

Great episode. What a time they had at the end there. fuck the haters. Those who appreciate this shit live vicariously through it and we thank you.

[@Goutamanram]

yeas!!

[@earth8744]

look yummy

[@keithbaird3333]

This guy has very little understanding of Thai regional food.

[@9929kingfish]

Keith B. Don't talk rubbish

[@phety]

9929kingfish very little👌🏼💯

[@bconni2]

and very little understanding about the Asian food scene in Los Angeles

[@Cho_Pro_]

it's so random that they're drinking makgeolli at the end of the video lol must've had a pretty bad hangover after that..

[@EpicTechium505]

Great Video :)

[@devans00]

Nice story about a guy with an interesting mix of friends. Also surprised he didn’t lose any fingers the way he handled that butcher knife after the zombie drink.

[@bconni2]

this guy really needs to get a better grip on the Asian food scene in Los Angeles..

[@stylishcrush]

8:49 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Natrfc1Watp]

Boys a bentshot

[@theportaltotheunderrealm628]

I'm not hating when I say this..but I don't care who you are,,,using a cleaver when you're fucked up on 151 is not smart.

[@990shady]

I'm just waiting for the white guy to say "look at my fucking moves!!! Ot4y!!!" #LAHWF #ANDREW

[@melonsoda123]

I HAVE to go to that Northern Thai restaurant :-)

[@Youknowmeozone]

Shout out to Freddie mercurys chef nephew . Good vibe and great food always make this show my new favorite

[@lucyhenley8283]

Not sure Asian food, whatever that is, has always… been part. of Australian culture.

[@TheTeddyShuffle]

I've probably watched all of the Chef's night outs but this episode has to be my favorite one! Really a great episode

[@oopip-uo3jf]

[@killercaos123]

[@horizonfios]

[@khaliddjafaar9833]

[@ChefRamidaThaiFoodExpert]

That's amazing chef and amazing Thai food . This VDO it makes me mouth watering

[@prodevel]

I absolutely love all of this series. I do hope you can keep making them, and more often, too! This one was particularly endearing.

[@kevincgrabb]

[@the_clueless_traveller]

[@armandosolis5193]

Damn I didn’t know the chef I work for was this popular

[@mo7650]

You don’t know him

[@aleximyhoney5748]

The food in Thailand is the best!

[@birdy2330]

👌🤤

[@Suburb_hell]

Arto Saari and Steve Olson lol, nice!

[@liqurmeup]

Why does it feel like every Munchies "Chefs Night Out", is hosted by mainly hipsters. Are hipsters still relevant? Maybe it's just me.

[@conni70]

1:27..? did i hear him correctly...? L.A and the greater L.A area has the most diverse range of authentic Asian food outside of Asia...does he live in a vacuum..?

[@RobertRoboOlszewski]

GREAT EPISODE! Down to earth guy. LOVED IT!

[@psocrates4350]

ignorance's night out

[@maroonzgoalie22]

Does anyone know what wine they are drinking in the van. I thought he said "garnacha macabeo" but I cant find it anywhere

[@wessteele1058]

The guy in he black shirt at the table reminds me of Nick Nolte after the dui arrest with the hair 🤣

[@petepete8862]

fuck yeah arto and Olsen !

[@martinaleclerc3354]

Nothing says playful & fun like a baby pig on your menu! Give me a break.

[@suvijakruksangob1659]

😯👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@ambikajoshi]

Not to sound weird about it but I never see any women chefs in this series! 🤔👩‍🍳

[@Arlon71]

@ 3:43 The rule is "Liquor before beer, you're in the clear. Beer before liquor'll make you sicker."

[@ConCon75]

Fuck sake that accent man.

[@jonneuman1583]

I'm pretty sure the dude said HI using the female polite particle ending.

[@brozors]

It's not easy to make it out in LA so props to this chef for hitting it big and having a lot friends in the process

[@Al3xTrucho20]

Lot's of recovering alcoholics disliking this series.

[@UlfMTG]

the way the ends all of his sentences with the same connotation REALLY pisses me off for some reason

[@michaelfoster6510]

We gonna get ratchet? Did he say that? If so, just shut up. Stop.

[@dos32zh]

lol definitely shouldn't have been on chopping duty

[@bullit4x]

Fuck yeah. Steve Olson. Living fucking legend!!

[@golddragon8672]

great episode....are you sure you still got 5 fingers on that left hand chef....haha

[@larrymee1484]

oh wow, i went to the restaurant in the beginning years ago, barely recognized it. delicious food there. i remember meeting the lady. their khao soi was da BOMB!

[@stephensands3485]

This is what cooking and food are all about. Good times, good drinks, and good friends.

[@robbiecrypto2125]

love this australian chef! what a legend!!!!!!!! give this guy his OWN SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[@mcabros]

Wtf, did they pull arto and steve olson from the Vice prop room?

[@dekkidwai4440]

อาหารไทยเเท้อร่อยกว่าเยอะ

[@bossybossy3160]

อะไรคืออาหารไทยแท้ครับ ??

[@cHemon]

Kaozaa TH เกือบทุกคลิปที่ฝรั่งทำอาหารไทย จะมีคนไทยที่ค่อนข้าง close-minded ไปคอมเมนต์แบบนี้ทุกที

[@thebase5183]

อาหารไทยแท้มันตายจากไทยไปแล้ว คือหาแดกนากกว่าซื้อทองอีก อย่าไปคิดใกล ง่ายๆแค่ พัดไทยก็พอ เส้นมาจากเวียดนาม วิธีการทำแบบจีน แต่ไทยทำ และปัจจุบันนี้มีแต่อาหารประยุคต์หมดแล้ว

[@cHemon]

วิชิต น้อย ตอบให้ได้ก่อนดีกว่าครับ ว่า"ไทยแท้" คืออะไร? พริก? ก็ไม่ใช่ กะทิ? ก็ไม่นะ ข้าวเจ้า? ใช่หรอ ฯลฯ

[@birdy2330]

@@cHemon น่าจะเป็นอาหารที่คนไทยทำในประเทศไทย​ เคยกินกะเพาที่เขมรทำในเมืองไทย​แม้ส่วนผสมอาหารมีในไทย​ แต่ทำกินไม่ได้เลย​ต้องเททิ้ง​ ตอนหลังเปลี่ยนเป็นคนไทยทำอร่อย

[@Sullendust]

Those thai dishes and that restaurant looks amazing.

[@KingDennisJensen]

''oh shit''

I don't mind this series, only one I couldn't stand was the vampire wizard hippy chick

[@bbambbam4423]

เอาข้าวมาเล่นไม่น่ารักนะค่ะ เพราะข้าวแต่ล่ะเม็ดกว่าจะได้มาชาวนาต้องหลังสู้ฟ้าหน้าสู้ดินนะค่ะ

[@chansaicommerce1721]

COOL

[@papapa7225]

ถ้าคุณทำแบบนั้นที่ไทน คนไทยจะโกดคุณมาก เพราะข้าวสำหรับคนไทยมากกว่าอาหาร

[@ryamcable]

"how fuckin good is this rib", rib in mouth

[@CMConnolly]

333rd thumbs up. Cheers.

[@janellio]

Is he saying there's nothing really like asian food in LA?? Or there's nothing like australian's version of asian food in LA?

[@bconni2]

right..? i was wondering the same thing...cus if it's the former, he's clearly out of touch with the Asian food scene in Los Angeles...

[@jws14]

The chemistry in the group isn't there

[@sugreev2001]

For once, you get a decent guy for an episode.

[@bconni2]

not really...he seems really out of touch the L.A food culture..

[@Newnsdfa2324]

I love this series. Just some guys hanging out drinking, having a good time.

[@ducciboi]

"Oh shit" every time the food is brought out

[@ThumperKJFK]
