Munchies: Danny Bowien

[@BeerHombre]

a mix of Steve Aoki and Skrillex

[@오세륜]

BeerHombre true ahaha

[@RiceCake45]

By far my favorite episode of munchies, keep up the great work vice! This episode was by far one of the most inspiring episode yet!

[@L2kneel]

One of the best episodes. Restaurant with crazy food to drink with and ended up cooking a wild drunk dish at the end came out well

[@sugarsuren0813]

im stoned eating pizza watching documentaries about food... best day ever!!!

[@mikeknight42]

Love how he just throws a make out session in there randomly before crabs. And then a white guy drops a crab on the kitchen floor and they still throw it in the pot. Keep doing your thing mate. You are awesome.

[@ZKZ123]

The hottest chef in NYC right now. This guy is super talented, and very humble. Back in 2008, he won the World Pesto Championship in Genoa, Italy beating 100 other talented chefs from Italy.

[@DaStig]

There's is a tiny place in my area called ni hao. really tiny, can fit about 4 people in just to order. takeaway only. open kitchen so you can see the cooks cooking it. Nobody speaks English except the receptionist. The best Chinese food I've ever tasted. but to look at it from the outside you would never guess especially from a takeaway! every time I go there I'm just amazed at the skills. They make it look so easy!

[@MObar]

I don't even really like Mission Chinese that much but I have respect for Danny Bowien and what he's doing.

[@234netklh27]

"Best part about Chinese food...More people you have the better, because you can order more stuff," So so true...

[@aliockisity]

This whole need to "elevate Chinese food" that they were talking about rubs me the wrong way. As if Chinese food isn't developed enough? Chinese people spend thousands of years developing their culinary skill. I get if he wants to change it / be creative I hate the notion that Chinese food isn't already developed and elevated

[@irunwiththedead9777]

@@mastercheif878 You're calling a Korean dirty when I've seen the kitchen of a few Chinese owed restaurants. It was atrocious. Clean your own litterbox before you start flinging shit around, chief.🙄

[@francisc144]

How can you make Chinese foods better!!! 5000 years of cooking and passed through the Emperors approval.

[@grexrr1434]

or half an hour, depends on how close you're closer to him. We got a tradition of corruption you know.

[@-_glowing.redmoon_-]

That stirred fried crab at the end looks mean and yummy! Good on you, Danny. Congratz on your success.

[@sterk267]

+yujil da uhm dat comment has no purpose here.

[@AgentIzzy35]

Saw him in Bon Appetit magazine. It's good that he is getting all of this attention.

[@vllncor]

That guy's hair is awesome!

[@eternityras]

he's so modest

[@veteranReserveShadow]

love these munchies episodes. currently on a marathon watching one after another.

[@maxx87]

A korean hipster who rides a japanese bike and owns a chinese restaurant...this dude is my hero!

[@mikefromkollab]

And yet here you are. Enjoy.

[@は私です彼の名前]

And for our evening house special: Animal cruelty and torture. Enjoy! Could he have "napped" it or killed it *before* freaking dismembering the poor thing?

[@elefunkman]

This will always be my favorite episode. The second time I saw this I drove up to SF to get drunk and eat bomb food but it didn't work out as smoothly unfortunately.

[@friday-jams]

Everyone is super-impressed.

[@SanitiveRevolution]

So many sanitary violations.

[@ZzxSpArTaNxzZ]

That is one of the special ingredients which make the popularity of his restaurant XD.

[@Pauloveskim]

Vice features so many bad ass Asian-Americans, it's amazing

[@ddubbahdollarbill]

This is the reason why I subscribed to vice. Well this and off the boat

[@timothykim8951]

He said it wasn't busy in the past, i.e. before he partnered with the owners. I have been to the restaurant and I can tell you it is quite busy.

[@tellemhowbeer3517]

Awww man!! You showed up right before closing? Lol

[@jlee324]

It's already open here in NYC (with the same name). Insane long lines...Bowien and his restaurant are the talk of the town.

[@natedoggnitin]

Speaking of which. Vice hanging out with Danny Brown would be the dopest shit ever.

[@imhellag]

Cigarettes and milk has to be one of the worst combos ;/

[@robtaggore9931]

hahahahahahaha

[@taylorfern9351]

i live right in Berkeley and have been to Mission Chinese many times, place is fire!

[@jerryxiao2595]

It frustrates me how Brandon Jew talks about nobody making Chinese food better. It's a three thousand year old cuisine. You don't need to fuck with it, just do it right. The fact that he was even apprehensive about anything they ate at the Schezwan restaurant shows how little he knows about Chinese food.

[@MrJin520]

You are 100% right. I'm not even Chinese (Korean) and I've eaten all that stuff before, especially the pig intestines and blood. And honestly, David Chang isn't even making Korean food "better", he's making it more mainstream and accessible to the American palette. His signature dish (bosam) is a 1000 times better here in Korea town, LA.

[@achineseguyineurope8590]

Jerry Xiao I completely disagree with Brandon's thing that "no one is making chinese food better". There are a shit ton of chefs trying to make it better. Just off the top of my head, in the past 50 years, SEA Chinese and Taiwanese (due to influx of chefs) have really experimented and improved on their techniques. When I went to Shanghai I also saw newer techniques from chefs there, reinnovating old techniques. Progress is a good thing. Bubble Tea isn't a 3000 year old creation, it's a 30 year old creation. Many chinese dishes have been reinvented or created in the past 50 years. Everyone on that table other than Danny seemed kinda racist to me, they were just trying to reaffirm the stereotypes that chinese are uncreative and steemed in tradition. Fuck that.

[@TERRYEE88]

The best thing about crab is that you slowly eat your way into the crab's meat. You suck it out slowly. Having it harder to finish it while it give you some time to enjoy it. Yummy.

[@MsGscoot]

Wish I coulda been in the city during this era...

[@jasongogal]

Good for you Danny

[@Jaydeezzee1]

Vice: Munchies is the new zimmerman and bourdain show. VICE all day everyday!

[@Kkidzz]

I'm still looking for one of these vice chefs who've got a circuit-bent 606 and a monotron stashed in the corner while they're waiting for the 'steaming' portion to finish....

[@Tai7978]

I walked into Mission Chinese Food about a year ago and I heard the sweet sounds of Woka Flocka Flames pouring out of the place.....LOUD. This place is relaxed and bad ass. The food is stupid good. One of the best food experiences I ever had

[@Sojerothetenkin101]

An Asian who fails at using chopsticks. The guy's a fucking goof ball. Love it.

[@EdwardFrank]

You can taste the love in the food at Mission Chinese. Definitely try the thrice cooked bacon. I've heard the Spices on 8th avenue is better than the one they went to...don't know if that's true. The pork shoulder is off the hook though - they're spot on about that! Doin' it!

[@mikefromkollab]

for a minute there, I thought it was about Danny Brown and Munchies.

[@nickskaterguy]

Did anyone else think it said 'Danny Brown. Munchies' and clicked it before you realized it wasn't danny brown? lol

[@voxtrotlous]

this dude looks raw af

[@HKeasy8]

Good for him.

[@tomwjc]

one of my fav munchies, for sure

[@jpedraza253]

This is a documentary. They did not show you how to cook the meals you saw. This series is more or less about the people cooking and why they do it.

[@ZzxSpArTaNxzZ]

He even loves eating food with it 5:19

[@Jordcurious]

I lol at your enthusiasm

[@yashespatel]

This guy is living the dream: give 0 fucks about anything apart from having people enjoy the food you cook.

[@rsalem1212]

Munchies is my favorite series its the best

[@jlee324]

Oh, forgot...I'd highly suggest going to Takashi, too. The dude came from Osaka and does Japanese-style Korean BBQ. Fantastic stuff.

[@JVKINGersgamertag]

Vice u guys should get a seperate 'Like' page on fb for Munchies! really enjoying some of the recent ones eventhough they stopped getting waisted..

[@TehWhimsicalWhale]

One of the best vices.

[@ImperviouslyGaming]

Munchies is my favorite vice show!! please dont ever stop these! (:

[@CEZKO33]

i would die for some crab right now

[@fightthepower07]

Look at his fucking kite when his mate drops the crab, it was like 'I'm so embarrassed to have you as a friend, you have just took the camera off me, when I'm trying so hard too be a renegade, don't give a fuck cook but the reality, is I was planning this impromptu meal for at least a week, you fucking bastard, aaaargh!!!!'

[@theabigailjean]

That was so fucking cool. This is by far my favourite web series. It's done so elegantly but in a cool way. Thanks Vice, you're just lovely

[@7ARkathal]

mis-read the title, came for danny brown... good day

[@Gummo22]

one of my fav web series. keep it up.

[@zalannoszek]

I love watching munchies at midnight, when I am freaking starved and all the food looks great! Keep them coming!

[@hrrsie]

I NEED to meet Danny

[@throwindembows]

I'm drunk and eating frozen pizza. I'm ashamed.

[@yourboykarp]

he looks like mike myers character in waynes world.

[@voteforjoe]

I've seen this so many times already. Danny Bowien is just cool as fuck

[@ajarnfrankie]

- Spices Szechuan Trenz been there. There meal must have been a small fortune.

[@ramenraptor]

It's sad that Mission Street Food is now closed :c

[@drewtehpwn]

super inspirational! I'm come by when I move out there next week.

[@nestotally]

Munchies with Danny Brown would be pretty good. Someone needs to make it happen.

[@TXmadeTXpaid1989]

This is far superior to do's and don'ts so if this is what we get while waiting for the great stuff im all for it

[@robkamanda]

Bravo Danny!!!

[@warlicht]

Love Munchies and Vice. Pretty disappointing to see how Ian Muntzert is disrespecting the ingredients he is cooking with....

[@konalily]

Neil Warlicht they were pretty inebriated. We can cut them some slack.

[@BIGCIOFFARI]

been waiting for this one to come back!!!

[@lilypoon1175]

Look at Danny and Brandon back in the day.

[@redrubberyboots]

Thank you vice! Keep up the awesomeness

[@ddrz09]

Man, Danny Bowien, he's real as shit.

[@keeyajavan]

I LOVE THIS SERIES VICE, MAKE MORE PLZ

[@ChrisFlew]

Still laughing at that Dairy Queen ep.

[@phonzzfortheworld]

The beginning was the drunk cooking from the end. I'm pretty sure he puts his hair up when he's actually at work. No worries.

[@malinkulasekera69]

"Make food for people i can relate to" aka hipsters.

[@vashlash6870]

"This lamb is fucking retarded good". Surprised this hasn't been taken down by vice and the guy fired. This was just 8 years ago.

[@larry89]

Things were still a lot different 8 years ago

[@Tarixyooj]

What is the song at the end? Thx =]

[@LetTheMusicFlow1]

also that news at the end is fucking rad, good for Danny!!!!

[@Trystaticus]

starts the video by bitching about Popeye's two piece Tuesday. I love it.

[@goodweed8834]

Yes!!!! More Munchie episodes please!!! I love these

[@msmintygreen]

mad love for this man. TURN UP

[@davooze]

fresh off the boat is dope man

[@sundaystef]

Love this series, please keep doing them!

[@cafarker]

I'd hate to eat anywhere Danny Bowien cooks. He didn't even control his hair when he cooks. Then he bites into his hair while eating Chinese food.

[@JackpotJunkiee]

Touché

[@mikefromkollab]

Eddie is a cartoon character with his "son" this and "son" that....but like Bourdain, Eddie is able to give respect when the time calls for it and is also able to recognize when a certain type of food culture comes form poverty. Jack Pepin maybe a legend, but he grew up in france and comes from a completely different background. Besides, don't you think food entertainment would be boring if everyone sounded and acted like Jack Pepin? Variety is the spice of life. ;)

[@dpclerks09]

lol

[@kylesullivan312]

Setting the scene for The Mission with a shot of Chinatown? Nice Vice.

[@TH3USUALSUSPECT]

gives it a smokey flavor mmmmmmmmm

[@ochristopholusyanguss]

Loved this episode

[@MochiNPRA]

Living in LA, ive always wanted to go to SanFran and just eat,now one of the awesome chefs is gone

[@orsonzg]

love szechuan cooking ;D

[@shawnkutz]

congrats man

[@Unxpekted]

Munchies with Thai Dang of Embeya! This was pretty cool though.

[@jamiejuicejamiejuice]

holy crap, congrats to danny!

[@JuliosOnAplane]

I didn't know that Steve Aoki was also a cheff!

[@leathery420]

drunk cooking always goes wrong unless your a cook. I know many people (me included) who have almost set the place on fire passing out lol
