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.

[@GlinkBetweenWorlds]

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

[@krisstofferabarabar934]

Glink hahaha my thoughts exactly

[@peterhirsh1706]

Glink Frank Zappa

[@SankofaNYC]

[@willvr4]

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

[@jesuslovesmebetter]

Like totally

[@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.

[@lennybenz4281]

PLEASE NEVER STOP CHEFS NIGHT OUT!

[@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

[@stephensands3485]

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

[@ChefRamidaThaiFoodExpert]

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

[@Newnsdfa2324]

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

[@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

[@patrickdi910]

one of the best episodes

[@Pammyphobia]

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

[@Mrmidtown1]

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

[@matthewgleeson2594]

Best episode by far

[@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.

[@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.

[@Davidmaxwell07]

by far one of the best chefs night out in a long time

[@studio4dx-]

greatly paced, and respectable chef/food... good episode.

[@BigWolsky]

Damn. He gave a god damn feast for them. Looked great. Good episode

[@yenteddy05]

Love the fusion mate never change !

[@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!

[@Parthkushwaha]

Great episode.

[@MrChristianCain]

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

[@Breakfast_Time-r3c]

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...

[@mrValleychef]

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

[@Shichman]

Excellent night out!!!

[@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!!

[@wessteele1058]

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

[@staybalanced6973]

[@Arlon71]

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

[@Youknowmeozone]

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

[@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?

[@trevorsiemiatkowski9995]

Dope episode the 71st floor tower was sick and the main guy was a G

[@aleximyhoney5748]

[@prisciliatancongsonery5873]

[@bullit4x]

Fuck yeah. Steve Olson. Living fucking legend!!

[@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..?

[@mcabros]

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

[@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...

[@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 .

[@robbiecrypto2125]

GIVE THIS LEGEND HIS OWNNNN SERIESSSSSSSSS

[@earth8744]

[@tanovalteench1076]

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...
