Kimberly is a great host. Peppy and fun.

[@tosht2515]

I'm happy. This was the perfect "5 Buck Lunch" episode. Lots of shots of great looking food off the menu; superb editing; in-resto interviews only; substantial amount of fries to satisfy the haters. 😂 And the more expensive honorable mention was a nice touch. Really love this season. 👍

[@thrillist]

Thanks! It's only going to get better!

[@KimberlyKong]

So glad you're enjoying it

My ideal amount of fries is “a pile”.

[@thrillist]

Gonna second you on that one.

[@keilny]

Can’t argue with that logic

[@HoneyglobinProductions]

A little suggestion: Tone it down. The food is the main star, not the host. Very little was described in terms of the taste, and the host merely repeated the ingredients, which had already been described by the chef.

[@JamesLanee]

Kim is the coolest!

[@lives4datube]

Pow pow is great but definitely not a cheap place lol

[@Zayskibop]

Falafel Inc y’all! 3 dollar falafel!!

[@jackiieex3]

I could have fries for every single meal.

[@thrillist]

AGREED.

[@KimberlyKong]

You and me both, girl

[@aquafever1986]

I’ve never seen someone so stoked to eat Fries😭🤣🤣

[@KimberlyKong]

Soooooo stoked! Food makes me oh so happy, lmao.

[@baozi8865]

I love that amount of fries 😍 looks bomb asf

[@KimberlyKong]

Yeah, it's a GIANT pile which I loveeee! Hope you get to try them =) Do you live near DC?

[@kobinaireland4058]

love this host but god sake the script is like if someone compiled "most tweeted teen slang" ( stat, smash, crush, etc)

[@Extramyriadvlogs]

its crazy , amazing video #extraTASTEat

[@23e445]

All that salt!!!!

[@kzj66666]

這是全素嗎？

[@waheedahsrecipes5004]

I was just in WASHINGTON,DC I would have went to this restaurant will be going back to two weeks will go to Pow Pow to get something off the menu

[@KimberlyKong]

Definitely make sure you go! If you like spicy, their Firecracker Fingers are dope as well.

[@yanjijay6752]

Ohh yummy 🤤😋 wish I was in DC ti try these looks amazing & love vegan food.

[@thrillist]

You must try next time you visit!!!

[@KimberlyKong]

COME VISIT! These fries will change your life =P They're so freaking good.

[@sundawg911]

Fries you cant go wrong esp with Vegans cause fries are staple for the veggie and vegan types.

[@KimberlyKong]

Truth! And these fries are straight up magical - what's the craziest fries you've ever had?

[@drachentoddy]

bruh 5$ for some fries thats still expensive

[@KimberlyKong]

Haha I promise it's worth it though!!!

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

did they make that kimchi in house? otherwise very likely to have brine shrimp/krill (sewol geot) or fish sauce, not vegan.

[@alvy2693]

Take a wild guess my dude.

[@omacadams]

@Ede Bell Crowder nice

[@cedar06]

Mushrooms, to make kimchi in house vegan you use MUSHROOMS

[@KimberlyKong]

Dang, you know your kimchi! You're totally right, they would need saewoo geot, but they make it in house without it to keep it vegan! It's not as pungent, but it's still a great take on the traditional dish.

[@tiff_original1066]

I hate when viewers do a thumbs down, how & why 🤨? Can’t wait to visit!!!

[@darknightzplace]

Bring back prez !!

[@omacadams]

I'm gonna have to say Pomona Sprout would be more down with vegan food than Dumbledore, tbh.Looks tasty, tho!

[@thrillist]

Can't beat $5.

[@KimberlyKong]

Legit point, haha! Thanks for watching.

[@mx5hong]

Uh, Korean here. Hi!!! Kimchi isn't exactly vegan. One of the key ingredients is either salted shrimp or oysters. I'm guessing it's used to get the fermentation process started. Or the restaurant uses some sort of rice slurry instead? And yeah there are other types of kimchi that doesn't use salted shrimp or oysters called water kimchi. But it's nothing like the traditional kimchi.

[@KimberlyKong]

I'm Korean as well =) Kimchi's def not vegan, but they made theirs without saewoo geot so it's a vegan version. It obviously doesn't taste exactly like it, but it's still a great take on the dish, and the flavors come across well! It's not water kimchi because it has all the other ingredients used in traditional kimchi! Hope you get to try it for yourself

[@kathyerickson9402]

No offense, but it kind of defeats the idea of 5 Buck Lunch if you end it with "If you have (insert more than $5 amount here) to spend, I highly recommend..." I would think that most of the places featured in this series have food goes beyond the "5 Buck" limit.

[@KimberlyKong]

Sound logic, Kathy! Just trying to highlight some other items as well though, just in case y'all are interested =) Thanks for watching!

[@meast21]

DC sucks for cheap food. Even shitty pizza costs 5 dollars a slice.

[@naturalbluti6823]

Ugh! I miss Pow Pow, but sir that rang her order got me out of character 1 day. 😒

[@jeann.8319]

1:09 did she actually say "food porn"?

[@1997whocares]

yeah so?

[@amyfalconer1660]

yeah the fries are shaped like little dongers

[@jernigan007]

$5 fries? no thanks

[@davidguzman3400]

She broke the rules... the fries aren’t $5... their $5.30.. 😮😬

[@Ramenslurpss]

*They're

[@charliep9066]

Why are so many of the Thrillist hosts so extra? Food/Groups was the best show. Eat Seeker is a good second, as well as, Really Dough is fun for something different. The rest are over the top and lack creativity/intelligent opinion. Dave Infante should host all the shows! Team him up with Mark Iocono!

[@MoxxMix]

Crap!

[@boedhimargono318]

Seitan = Satan?

[@laughingwiththestorm]

Hail Seitan!
