I like that Lucas isn't "judgmental". A presenter that eat while saying "aww this is delicious!" with energy and excitement has certain charm into it, but Lucas' way of explaining the food he eats engages my "brain"(so to speak) in addition to my tongue (I'm always salivating seeing great food up close!). And that doesn't include the "fact" (can only look from the screen!) that he is downright humble, never too cheeky to ask anything he doesn't know about the food, and explaining it in a way that everyone would understand. Keep it coming, Eater! I'm a regular!

People really underestimate these kinds of foods; snack corners, food counter, "food court," in places like these dedicated grocery stores, maybe an IKEA, Costco, and such. Truth is these foods are actually brilliant, but some people have "Standards," nobody knows food unless you're an adventurous person.

Lucas, as much as I love your videos, I have to correct you a bit on the ordering-rice-in-China-offends-people thing. Ordering rice will not offend anyone, as long as you ask if anybody else on the table wants it and order for them as well. It applies to noodles, steam buns and other "staple" items. It has little to do with dietary differences, just etiquette. But of course if you ask for rice in a noodle-specific place then that's a bit tricky, like asking for a BMW in an Audi dealership. All in all, I absolutely adore your videos, good presentation, very relaxing for viewers.

Those are the stems of the sweet potato plant. They also serve only the leaves sometimes and they tend to be kind of slimy. A lot of Korean markets world wide have shack corners. They are a great deal. The food is prepared to order, hot, fresh, delicious and sometimes a full meal is less than $8.00. Try the traditional mundoo kuk, spicy dehjee pork, chicken wings and bulkogee. They are easy going down and not hard core but very flavorful and delightful for a very fast, private meal with good people and surroundings. You can also ask the vendor what to buy to duplicate the dish at home and voila, you are in the store! Nice share! Thanks!

to answer your question correctly, most restaurants in Korea will ask or offer you rice, or other alternative 'main' meal. You just gotta tell them what you want and they will bring it to you. This is more common in Korean BBQ restaurants, but for those stew/soup based restaurants, they will simply bring rice along at the beginning of the meal.

4:10 True! ~50 years ago in Taiwan, a general's well-educated and very pleasant wife, who's a family friend, needed to eat rice in every meal. Because of their social-and-political-professional position, they had to attend various functions that entailed banquets often. The chefs in charge of the banquets always asked beforehand: "Is the lady who eats rice coming? (『哪個吃飯的太太來嗎?』)", so they knew if the needed to prepare plain steam rice just for her.

So I go to Chicago fairly often and never knew about this place until I watched how Lucas just devoured all my favs. Went there shortly after with a friend just to do some shopping and eat at this place with a train booked to leave that evening. While we were eating we sorta forgot about time and when we finally remembered to check, we had just barely enough time (maybe) to catch the train. Both me and my friend froze for a sec and then looked at each other, be like "oh f*ck the ticket home let's eat!!!!!!"

Well a bowl of steamed rice is really the center piece of all Korean meals. In fact, those soups count as "ban-chan" and serve as side dish for your main dish which is rice. After a nice steak dinner with my grandparents, my grandpa would always ask for a bowl of rice... Oh and at 5:30 that's not root of sweet potato, but rather the stem of the plant with the hard cellulose exterior stripped off. It's really quite delicious and serves as main ingredient in the beef stew.
