Spicy Fried Chicken Butt & Gallons of Soju: Chef's Night Out with EscaLa's Chris Oh

EscaLa’s Chris Oh takes us out for a night of culinary adventures in LA’s Koreatown. The crew gets their fill of grill-it-yourself meats and shake-it-yourself kimchi fried rice at Korean BBQ hotspot Kang Ho Dong Baekjoeong, spicy fried chicken butt at Dan Sung Sa, and gallons of soju to wash it all down before heading back to EscaLa for a plate of classic Korean streetfood: spicy ramen and rice cakes with pork belly and a fried egg.

not pretentious or hipster at all. coolest chef so far--if I'm ever in LA I'm going there.

[@alexkane84]

Chris Ohs illustrious culinary career : Seoul sausage (all three failed) Hanjip (massive failure ) K Super (failed) Chingoo (failed). This dude has got to stop fronting likes he's some serious chef.

[@PapiAldoDiaz]

Hahahah that bald dude got in the sausage truck drunk as fuck and still drove away ASKALAAAAAAA

[@cormacreidy-taylor1289]

Ho Dong Baekjoeong is one of the only places I have been to that has been featured on chefs night out. That place is unreal fire cannot wait to go back.

[@piratepip9294]

The dude from dexter is awesome. he was good on the show and seems funny in real life

[@MaLdERaranjuez]

How to spot a good Munchies episode: if it makes you want to hang out with that episode's chef and friends and get as wasted as they get, it's a good episode.

[@yahrize1love548]

[@-_glowing.redmoon_-]

Thumbs up if you miss Dexter or smile when Masuka shows up.

[@philliphyukjoonlee8719]

Baekjong is just an underaverage celebrity owned Korean bbq franchise in Korea but seems to be really good in US!

[@OoohhForSure]

13:05 the staff is like "get the fuck outta kitchen"

[@QualityProductionsNI]

could you guys do a few bartender ones? id love to see that.

[@KingDennisJensen]

I love how Masuka acts the same on and off tv, lol.

[@Armamenting]

It's funny because all those places are like two blocks away from each other, with Escala and Kang Ho Dong in the same plaza.

[@emilsn91]

Korrean barbq looks freaking delicious!

[@BlueHokage]

Shortie turns away everytime she drinks... This aint Korea.

[@MrGregorychant]

Bahaha! Couldn't help but laugh when I read your comment.

[@danf8047]

but that shows someone taught her how to drink in front of elderlies or men

[@BlueHokage]

David Y very true! But in the same way that Koreans don't use speech honorifics when stateside, it doesn't make sense to turn your head when drinking.

[@roidAholic]

David Y can you explain? i was curious as to why she did that

[@vosmars]

roidAholic Koreans typically turn their heads aways from elders when they drink. Tradition

[@wpar3890]

MASUKAAAAAAA

[@easybreezy6]

As a Korean living in an area with little to no Korean population in the United States I long to be somewhere like Korea Town.

[@NickyBurgerzz]

Vince from dexter let’s GO

[@NUS7]

woooooooooh

[@christianortega7610]

COLOMBIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@daveotuwa5596]

The food truck owner who's been on Season IV of THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE on Food Network, a Scripps Network, drove the company back to their workplace at the end of the night. LA's Koreatown is currently diverse but formerly racist.

[@sophielovesseezar]

Why is that girl turning away and taking shots? The waiter did it too...

[@d15z1sux]

Korean drinking etiquette... not exactly sure how it works but I think if someone is more senior, you can't face them when you drink soju.

[@sophielovesseezar]

d15z1sux Oh okay, explains why the waiter did the same! I wonder why the girl feels inferior though...

[@d15z1sux]

Could just be possibly because they are older than her? Or maybe they work with her and hold a higher position?

[@musingsofajay387]

rylan whobang I don't think it's for women. It has nothing to do with women. It has to do with the age.

[@zeonmx]

rylan whobang You are talking out of your ass. What you said is completely false.

[@betterffd]

Where to get Korean BBQ in Baltimorrrrrre?

[@betterffd]

I said Korean BBQ, not infested stripper pussy!

[@ZKZ123]

+# Sq_One It was always going hand in hand for me.. The Block first then after they shut down at 2am, go to Korean BBQ joints.. My fav: Nam Kang (Google it is about 5min drive from the block) Open pretty much until 5am daily. But don't show up looking like a bum or a thug cuz they won't let u in. You welcome youngin!

[@betterffd]

I'm probably as old if not older than you but, thanks man. I'll def put that on my to-do list.

[@chemtrail2269]

You guys should get vaka burger on here.

[@michaelgood9160]

This guy reminds me of Jameis Winston for some reason

[@Travis_B_Chillin]

Mongolian BBQ ftw

[@johnkang2000]

C S Lee is Korean?

[@mushroompeak]

what the fuck is massuka doin there

[@carlosmante]

Most of the Ingredients used at that Korean food are Mexicans. Tomatoes, Chilies, Dragon Fruit (Pitahaya), Avocado, Corn. And so the Thai cuisine, Hungarian , North African, Italian are based on Mexican Ingredientes like Cocoa or chocolate, Vanilla,

[@whisperofsteel]

Fuck...yes!!!!

[@anneerawrr]

It's a courtesy thing in South Korea. You turn away when you drink alcohol in front of people who are older than you or someone you respect.

[@BigSirZebras]
