I don't care what people say this was a good episode, not everyone is spontaneous. That is how humans are I doubt most people here could do the same as Matty matheson or Action bronson. This trip meant a lot to them and we are lucky to see what these people are experiencing. It wasn't just for us, it was for his child, his colleagues and himself.

[@FXFXFXFX]

Same, made me miss Korea so much some of the best years of my life were spent there...

[@jinn194]

Unfortunately a lot of the entitled kids on this channel think they deserve entertaining people 24/7 when really it should be about the adventures they go on.

[@jinn194]

***** Thanks for proving my point by acting entitled.

[@jinn194]

***** Do you +1 your own comments too? That's awfully pathetic.

[@chow-zz6nv]

[@MS-dc9tx]

Great Video.. Munchies doing great job on creating inspiration videos. Which makes myself to start great resturant. Love the Story of Parachute ... Good luck Parachute Team. Greeting From India

[@PHILIPPINES479]

This video fuels my desire even more to visit South Korea.

[@jameslerner846]

Awesome ep

[@rag514]

lmfao when the chef cracked the egg in the wrong bowl at the end 18:21 lmao

[@222ilb]

I remember my last time going to Korea back in 2014. I remember the specific old lady who made me the eggs in bread on 4:25. I miss my family in Korea so much right now.

[@ApeSlayer]

Vice has some amazing music producers and mix engineers. Wow

[@lucyhenley8283]

Imagine them all sat in awkward silence (as always) eating that meal and the noise of the kids cartoon playing.

[@bufunga]

I have to go to work but can't stop watching

[@DJBENZIDOTCOM]

great work!

[@famousamos]

Welcome to my city ^^

[@bronniesbites8045]

I totally have (and absolutely LOVE) that Louisville is for Haters shirt!

[@NancyRemling]

You are so amazing. Thank you for sharing 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️

[@bobunitone]

I hope that guy gets some sleep after his trip.

[@woodeys213]

love this ch

[@nontrivialdog]

12:05 I like how the translation by his son is slightly different lol

[@Sesquipedelian]

I think it's because the son isn't fluent in English but he knows enough from school to get the gist of it

[@nontrivialdog]

Alan Ko And probably because translating isn't an easy task unless you're experienced.

[@ilovetalatomas]

I can't stop laughing.. Hahaha.. The part that he cracks the egg in the wrong bowl and then suddenly laughs.. Hahaha

[@user-jx2gw4cn2j]

6526 miles from Chicago to Seoul

[@MrRizon83]

Hipsters really are a breed of their own.

[@sQu1ggl3G1ggl3]

Great Video

[@aqilahsdead]

Great episode! I've read some comments that this episode isn't as the same or as good as when there's Action Bronson or Matty Matheson etc. I love watching AB and MM and other cool chefs like them, but I also love watching these different kind of show vibes and these kind of chefs, so in my opinion this episode is as good as the others are. Sometimes people need alternatives, it'll make their lives easier than just sticking to one and commenting negativity or on how 'bad' and different this episode is.

[@gearheadtc]

The husband looks like Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philly

[@rbx30]

Korea is awesome. Miss that place. Food was excellent!

[@Meepmeep888]

Love cold foods but damn on a cold day idk if I wanna be eating chilled foods the entire time if I’m gonna have to eat my meal in an overcoat

[@andreasflier503]

that. was. awesome.

[@valf156115]

This was a great episode! Super down to earth and love seeing people going back to their roots...yeah the main guy was a bit boring but not everyone is made to be on TV just chill guys

[@andrewhutton4046]

Does anyone have any food tips for Bangkok? Or do they know any restaurant or street food stall that they know is really good? Thanks! :D

[@forestspell]

Holy cow, lol. I have also messaged the US Dunkin Donuts and said the same thing! (and like you, no response). Dunkin Donuts in Korea is amazing, but in the US they always seem stale and flavorless aside from being way too sweet. I've also tried asking McDonalds in the US to make their creamed corn hand-pie they have in Korea a nationwide (or at least a South Eastern region) thing in the states. The creamed corn hand pie was a seasonal release in South Korea last year, but it was delicious and was a wonderfully nostalgic taste for this out of place Southern girl. US Baskin Robins really needs to up their game too. Korea has some of the best flavors over the years (and some of the worst, but still fun to try.)

[@Log1cTech]

Damn, I really want to visit Korea now, looks amazing!

[@golu_badbola]

Nice one, Munchies..

[@crazy3289]

Food trip!

[@meenaparkau]

amazing! !!!

[@pingukang]

Hahaha the kidnapping was probably the most Korean thing ever. Having a meal with the mayor of hwacheon right next to you out of the blue 😂 hope it wasn't too awkward!

[@Roller71]

We are as people all part of a small universe, we are as chefs, part of a small universe. Children of Chefs are apart of a huge UNIVERSE. God help them remember everything I love as an adult as a child.

[@samsungshield1297]

You guys messed up. Ate all the wrong food that has already been shown on other shows. The egg sandwiches and soy sauce raw crab is what should have been highlighted. You showed film of it but missed those true gems.

[@thePowerPlant]

Yeah, I agree. They must be using the same dude for all the locations in their Korea videos...you must have some XP in Korea too. They really should make a video on the under ground dog soup market. That is some shady shit!!

[@jackwongen6671]

MMM, sounds good too me.

[@wendycheng484]

Should of introduced the Jeju black boar, buldak, corvina or makguli. Or stop by at Mingles.

[@S9L8x]

didn't even show the fried rice with the crab head, which is a classic.

[@Jeremy-gi6ml]

+Wendy Cheng yeah black boar is so good

[@JasonAdams]

Hijacked on a bus for an all day site seeing adventure. I've been there, I saw the frustration on his face

[@robnickerson7819]

lmao

[@Thehairysoap]

Its quite obvious the host treated this as a PR tour.

[@JasonAdams]

+Thehairysoap of course! If MBC follows me in Korea I'd roll with that. P.S. Best user name ever!!!!!!!!!

[@wpar3890]

I'm Korean myself and I feel so sorry for the whole restaurant crew that they had to put up with the gimmick. I hope they had better time exploring what Seoul really has to offer.

[@chow-zz6nv]

TUNA + you have a twisted mind. Is the glass always a half empty.?

[@veenatay9908]

Hi +Munchies, May I know where is this cold noodle restaurant located?

[@memadman]

Ever visit N. Korea. Good fun!!

[@Alex-tm6qz]

I just want to know at 4:35 what type of parka is buddy wearing?

[@jessieancestor]

Chef Im is a straight up silver fox.

[@quietasamouse]

I knew Beverly looked familiar!!!!! Top chef!!!

[@Dddddddassss]

What's the song that starts about 30 seconds in

[@LorisRavera]

[@mtlblues4710]

That mayor talking shit on the low. hahhaaha

[@JKboi27]

What an amazing story. What a great representation of what Korea has to offer!

[@acsc1029]

I have a half korean background I've been there many times and holy shit the street food is amazing

[@jamietablante8677]

Love it

[@PartiallyDrunkHoovyIsCool]

Dope

[@amc3]

14:42 Daewon is just loving it :))

[@elninoheroe663]

Why does this episode feel like it belongs in the food network. This is vice for fuck sakes.

[@thePowerPlant]

I agree! They need to fire the guy they have producing these Korean episodes.

[@nontrivialdog]

lol

[@amaRISM]

nobody is forcing you to watch anyway and for fucks sake its Munchies, the sub channel of vice that talks about food. You must be too stupid to realize that anyway.

[@teckyify]

That women at the market chopped up that baby octopus alive with scissors. OMFG.

[@R0CKFUCKR0LL]

"tastes really fresh" no shit, they just cut it up and served it to you wriggling lol

[@leee5487]

She totally had no idea what the mayor was talking about hahahhaha

[@Underneaththebottle]

I feel the Seoul in this city

[@petalss5325]

pretty legit stuff! i'm surprised :))

[@randypulido7191]

ALL KINDS if that live octopus action ALL KIINDS!!

[@steves5346]

good stuff here

[@laurenemenesesrey1907]

Soon, Seoul, soon I'll come to youq and eat your delicacies

[@miraeguk]

Really beautifully captured the culture, cuisine and adventure of Korea. What an amazing trip!

[@sambar101]

Interesting there's this Indian saying that my dad always tells me which is similar to what Chef Im said about fighting cold with cold and hot with hot. My dad is an Indian Chef and this makes me want to learn his craft from him.

[@musingsofajay387]

lol I cant go to seoul or anywhere. all the people have booked tickets to get to sokcho to play pokemon go this weekend -_-

[@Boxcop2850]

It been a while since I see cannabis video here. that my main purpose sub .

[@CowSaysMooFarms]

The Business Manager is such a troll.

[@jokrik]

Amazing documentary!

[@AirsoftKid8282]

anyone know the music in the beginning that starts around 0:30 ?

[@Dddddddassss]

AirsoftKid8282 I need it

[@ObsessedPersonality]

When you see how on-board and committed every cook and employee was to going to Korea together, I think it shows how successful he is not only as a chef and a colleague, but as good leader. And the fact that he went back to visit his mentor it also shows how sentimental and appreciative he is of his roots and relationship with others regardless of any language barriers. Most people would accept that their training is in the past, and easily accept that any relationship that they had expired and feel no guilt with facing that fact. I sure have convinced my self from feeling guilty by telling myself, "Oh but I'm so busy" as an excuse to not see my past teachers and many of my high school friends.

[@ed-od9sd]

which MBC show is it ?

[@Capitalismhater]

That poor child.

[@gtahoer]

it taste so fresh hahaha , its still alive haha

[@benabear]
