[@NYCSuffocate]

Never have I seen a group tackle all the items on a dimsum menu with white shirts and leave without a stain. Take a bow Lucas and Eric!

[@ThojB414]

Pros that’s why

[@knlei1]

its not that hard

[@rick-db1wr]

@@knlei1you have never done it and never will

[@eugene7145]

As a HongKonger, its not that hard xd

[@Shadowboost]

It's easy

[@rnedens]

I would like to see these guys trying out a range of small bite cuisines: Spanish tapas, Greek mezes, Lebanese mezes, Japanse sushi. All of them.

[@jakemoore1973]

Thats a great idea

[@bonaface]

yeah great idea for the most boring video ever!!! don't quit your day job.

[@AnonYmous-en7op]

IZAKAYA for Japanese food would be great!

[@oliviaalonso9251]

Basque pintxos!

[@katl8825]

I think izakaya is a better match for the theme but YES PLEASE!!

[@25thSkye]

Lucas has been a great addition to the BA chefs. He’s knowledgeable and interesting, and when he’s with Eric they play off each other so well.

[@bonaface]

hard disagree.

[@KyuubiReign]

why@@bonaface

[@bonaface]

@@KyuubiReign he's boring, doesn't really say anything interesting or true despite talking so much, and just describes vibes...total gen z talentless creator

[@_angelfromtx]

This is an interesting take, is there anyone that represents the opposite of your pov of Lucas that comes to mind?

why are you even entertaining the haters LMAO @@_angelfromtx

[@dangerzone9747]

You are the hero we need but don't deserve

[@boardcertifiable]

I miss all of the dim sum places that used to be near my house, now most of the Chinese restaurants don't serve dim sum. 😢

[@corgeousgeorge]

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar and we appreciate you!

[@tombranch2261]

Just reading this makes me want to go into a food coma.

[@athenalong]

YOU WIN THE INTERNET FOR THIS! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@vansoffhermind2350]

This is peak food commentary! The best dim sum review video ever because there's knowledge of the texture and flavor and acknowledgement of effort that went behind the dish! Thank you for sharing the culture of our food Lucas & Eric!

[@ryanthlam]

It’s the genuine “wa diu” that makes the salted yolk bun reveal even better

[@DD-sr9xm]

I was the only kwai loh on the trading floor of an American bank in HK in the late 1980’s. We went to City Hall dim sum three days a week. The team delighted in my love for dim sum and willingness to eat everything. My lunches were very much like this video. It was heaven.

[@MTBPA]

Splendid! Lucas and Eric together - totally funny, entertaining but incredibly knowledgeable and respectful of food texture, taste, presentation & technique. More please!!!👏👏👏

[@lcc726]

Another Eric and Lucas collab please! Hitting all my go to dim sum dishes...ha cheung, law bok go, tofu skin pork roll, nai wong bao, snow white bun, dan tat

[@FTWciaran]

Each video Lucas is in makes me want to fly to and visit the restaurant. The same goes here. Looked incredible

[@kate-np9rz]

Lucas is awesome! He's so prolific, the way he describes food transcends the screen. Great video, thank you!

[@p90p90]

Great blend of comedy, respect for food, and info. The chemistry made the 20+ mins fly by. thanks guys

[@lindatruong978]

totally agree!

[@izanudin]

12:51 Had to rewind and listen back to Lucas curse in Canto 😂

[@yyyyyyexe963]

Love how detailed and technical they are with each food item

[@evilkoko]

Really love this duo. Lucas and Eric play well off of each other and their technical breakdowns of each dish is a refreshing take compared to most other vlogs.

[@corgeousgeorge]

I very much like these hosts. Knowledgable, fun and not over the top with it.

[@TeamPocket]

I didn’t know Lucas and Eric was the duo I needed. Hilarious. Educational. And entertaining! This video is giving me life! Way to go guys!

[@cfsdgtr]

they have so many videos together! their chefs night out is one of my favorites

[@TeamPocket]

@@cfsdgtr I didn't know they had a chefs night out series! Is that on another channel?

[@cfsdgtr]

i think its on Munchies' channel@@TeamPocket

[@cfsdgtr]

i think its on Munchies' channel@@TeamPocket

[@serasotasadie]

I love seeing this format back! While I miss the last folks involved, it's nice to see it back with new and very fun to watch people! Whether the channel changes up the eaters or keeps it to Lucas, I will watch! Can't wait to see more, especially iconic NYC restaurants!!!

[@Rosengris]

We need more of this duo! Really enjoyed their chemistry

[@KCwolf152]

i dont think that was regret on Lucas' face so much as horrified awe when Eric was spitting the chicken feet bones out one by one 😂

[@vickylikesthis]

Eric never have been hotter lol

[@theodoranorton4779]

His poor mother!

[@WTFA54]

This is how we always ate fish as well lol. You just pop in a big piece of fish and spit out the bones

[@m.theresa1385]

Maybe he was in awe that he was allowing the bones to just fall to the plate rather than into his hand or a napkin (we were taught to pass the bones into our hand)

[@btom168]

I broke out in laughter at 12:57 over the reaction Lucas had to the runny salted egg yolk getting on his hands. Bravo to BA for censoring it lol The Cantonese speakers know!

[@jesschau7936]

I think he censored himself! He only said the first word! Nice save, Lucas!

[@ihatekpeng]

We definitely know LOLOL

[@sydneyfong]

authentic Cantonese test

[@hyoon.]

DLLM

[@lisal9829]

OMG. These 2 are funny together. Like 2 brothers daring to out eat each other.

[@Krossfyre]

Wu gok is one of my absolute favourites. It's such a delightful mix of textures and has a really light crispiness you just can't find with other fried dishes.

[@loonieyo1004]

we need these two together as a series for all sorts of cuisine or travel documentary

[@xdestiny]

This video was amazing! Really enjoyed Lucas and Eric's commentary on dim sum and their perspective on some of the dishes.

[@rainmaker_superb]

This video was great, I love that you guys were able to show your knowledge of dim sum and mention small little things that would go unnoticed by other food personalities. Hope to see more of this.

[@anonymouscapybara2377]

Had dim sum all my life growing up with Cantonese parents but I've yet to encounter the crispy shrimp rice roll and now I need to go to NY to have it.

[@ducttape7158]

love lucas’ ending comment for this video. thanks for reminding us what dim sum 点心 stands for! it warmed my heart a lot

[@melaniebarrett4745]

I grew up eating these dishes and never held much appreciation for it. The way Lucas and Eddie describe the flavors and cooking process brings a sense of respect and legitimacy for Chinese food that I haven't felt / seen before. Thank you for doing these videos. There is so much craft put into these dishes that are owed respect and study into. You're allowing me to rediscover foods in a whole new light

[@petefitz9092]

I grew up going to Yum Cha in Ballarat, Australia and this hit the nostalgia really hard. So many similar dishes and a few favourites missing too. Love all of Lucas' videos, more please.

[@theheckwithit]

Great Idea to the continuation of this series, need to keep it going with such informed guests!

[@minsiuh8960]

Thank you so much for repping flushing and Lake Pavillion. Glad they are back and doing well. There were so many items i need to go back and try !!!

[@Ulixx__0]

I’m 28 weeks pregnant and CRAVING dim sum 😫🤤 I haven’t had any dim sum in so long, I’ve gotta change that

[@wuziq]

glad to see that this series might be back. love and miss delaney but also love lucas.

[@michelledong654]

the line at this place is always INSANE but its always worth it

[@kartik0016]

This is therapy! Love the chemistry between Lucas and Eric. Their commentary is as crisp as the Taro dumpling! Addictive!

[@imankashmola-perez9691]

These two are amazing together, such a fun duo and both experts in their own ways. More videos with the two of them, please!!

[@nicklhuang]

this was excellent, great hosts and what a wide range of bites. So much nostalgia, insight, cheffiness.

[@DoJoStan]

Keep these going, love Lucas explaining dim sum and the food I grew up with! 8:52 is the best with the attendants always pushing food onto your table 😂

[@kiwiheaarts]

I enjoyed this so much. Lucas and Eric are a great pair. I learned a few things and laughed at a lot of things with these two.

[@corgeousgeorge]

Not "Say hello to your mother for me!"... Not THAT!!! 🤣😅

[@Esha-he3eq]

their dynamic is so funny, on top of the informativeness about dimsum dishes and how they're made. such a fun video

[@lawrencewon3805]

These dudes are naturals in front of the cam.....great job!

[@jakecohen5739]

Love that this "one bite of everything on the menu" series is back!! Hope to see many more.

[@judesebastian9376]

Eric is a beast when it comes to eating the dim sum. Got to love him. And Lucas is just the best.

[@worldwidewashington]

OMG CHEF LUCAS AND CHEF ERIC TOGETHER??!?!! SQUEAL!!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@nuhaashafiqa]

Are we ignoring the cute Hello Kitty bandaid on Eric's finger? 😁 Can't go wrong with dimsum! Loving the in depth explanations of the food prep/items

[@mauryroblovich]

This was so cool to have the techniques behind our fave dim sum dishes explained. Thanks Eric and Lucas! (also this made me really hungry LOL)

[@mXENO]

i like that they have very extensive vocabularies for taste profiles and bounce off each other very well and articulately

[@adriannasalazar]

This was immensely entertaining to watch, while also teaching me what to order the next time I get dim sum! Kudos.

[@JaySkyllz]

"We're only gonna take one bite of everything" Proceeds to stuff an entire siu mai in his mouth 😂

[@Reymdusk]

One bite is one bite 😁

[@AlvinAu148]

A correction on the sesame rolls they are not made with glutinous rice flour. They are usually made with water chestnut flour (馬蹄粉) which gives it a more slippery, bouncy chewy texture.

[@thihal123]

Yes, in think you’re correct.

[@aatt3209]

The most comprehensive video on dim sum, very nicely done, thank you for making me craving dim sum even more than ever!

[@prettyprettysmart]

Been going to new lake pavilion for dimsum for as long as I can remember! So happy to see it featured here!

[@ClarionMumbler]

I loved the zero regrets animation on Lucas at the end. well done to the editor there.

[@jamesonroy3375]

Super fun to watch these guys eat, more pls

[@kl5792]

Appreciate all the Chinese content with Lucas always!

[@NotNathan1810]

Happy to see this show back. (I still miss Delaney.) I also have been to both of Eric's restaurants, and they are spectacular!

[@liakalinkos292]

these ppl are smart! love learning through their commentary. still entertaining! also love the queens love

[@harithhatadi4591]

I dont usually comment but i must say it, these two are so great as hosts

[@kareny5438]

I didn't know taro dumplings are so magical. I love them even more.

[@gabelstapler19]

BA giving us what we wanted! Keep it up. Editing is on point!

[@DarkBlueImaginarium]

This is the best video Bon Apetit has ever put out and unlike Lucas halfway through, I have 0 regrets watching it

[@datafoxy]

It is always interesting to find out the different menus at each dim sum place.

[@dusty9633]

I love the spot very much. I pass by it all the time and my family goes there all the time also but I never had a chance to actually stop by. I’m glad that you guys are reviewing this

[@winreacts6528]

I agree with the Taro, I go to my local dim sum place every Sunday and ALWAYS order 3 of those Taro dishes. Its so flavorful and nice.

[@niktheorginal]

This was hilarious and informative, great stuff

[@erikapags]

I love Lake Pavilion! My family and I have been going there for years. Glad it was featured ☺️

[@rosee8911]

Best video on dim sum ever! TY LUCAS

[@JEHNLEROY]

Thank you for doing this. The fellas knocked it out the park.

[@donovanfremeth5757]

I love the banter of these guys haha

[@lovinbitchin]

love the background of all the dim sum dishes! nice

[@thoriumbrother]

Been waiting for this show to come back!

[@celwise]

Love these two guys! Instant Classic video!

[@cfsdgtr]

[@QQ-gq3cj]

Love the commentary and the history ❤

I adore them together and how they explain everything too! Shy Boyz Club ❤❤❤

[@mzmueg4770]

More Lucas and Eric collabs please!

[@smileishkabob]

I’ve been eating dim sum my whole life, and I learned (and laughed) SO much watching this video. Thank you, gents 🙏🏼

[@PatriciaGarcia-ip6ge]

Oh im so jealous of not living near this restaurant. I would devour anything with shrimp and pork. Well done guys.

[@latrishslocsloves7128]

I just happened upon this and I absolutely love their show! I have had the opportunity to eat dim sum once at the Golden Dragon in Chinatown, New York and it was the best experience! This looks like fun, to be able to try everything on the cart! I don’t know how they made it through but the expressions of fullness on their faces had me cracking up!! I love their descriptions of food as well!

[@TheLadyLuck523]

This was great! I've been eating dim sum all my life and even I learned some new things. I've been to that restaurant and it's a great place although crazy busy during the weekends!

[@roughsimplicitya1]

I missed the back-and-forth with Lucas and Eric, I hope to see more

[@kevmuso4336]

I can't believe how much i enjoyed this vid! 😋

[@jenlouiee]

to have grown up eating here nearly every weekend of my childhood to seeing it documented and spoken about in this way is seriouss.

[@itgirl_nyc]

The concept of dim sum is you eat whatever you like. But the words themselves don’t mean that. Dim 點Sum 心means a little bit of heart. It is through the enjoyment of the various dishes that the heart is touched. In Cantonese culture. we don’t say we are going to have dim sum (as a meal). Instead, we say we are going to drink tea 飲茶. It’s as much a time to socialize as it is a time to eat.

[@christiankim6864]

This resturant was my intro to dim sum. Forever humbled & learned

[@bernice9155]

Love the giggles😂

[@tvheadd]

Lost opportunity to call the categories "sacks, balls, shafts, salty surprises, and creamy finishers" you know, just to be fun!❤

[@emmiepd]

“Say hello to your mother for me” was wild

[@themrgumbatron]

great episode! two great personalities geeking over lots of dim sum.

[@TrangNguyen-zf4xf]

LOVE these videos so much

[@Taizuren]

These 2 are the best lol, always watch them

[@Trini1019]

Thank you for this video!!! As an Asian who was born in the Caribbean, you guys clarified the dishes I keep seeing when I go there but scared to take!!! Lolll. I LOOOOOVE the taro balls. I get them every time I go there

[@sarahg6209]

"Tripe: Cows have multiple stomachs. This is one of them!" This was all so delicious to watch and just made me miss my time stuffing my face in Taiwan so thank you for taking one bite (x a million) for all of us out here 🥹🤤🫡

[@janieson]

I've only seen the basic shrimp rolls at my local dim sum places. I would be in heaven with the additional options.

[@FlaminBeast]

Best food content ever. Lucas geeking out over technical stuff and Eric interrupting just to say he doesn't think doesn't think he can eat a whole Chao Zhou in one bite. True sibling dynamic❤

[@KCwolf152]

the immediate regret on Lucas' face after each big bite moment is sending me 😂

[@mellow-jello]

Water chesnut cake is best served fried, caramelized on the surface to add crisp, and flavor. Sadly, almost all places in Toronto only serve them steamed nowadays.
