Munchies: Getting High Off Asian Food with Eddie Huang

Chef Eddie Huang is tired of Americans eating Chinese food like hooligans, so on this tour of the best Asian restaurants in NYC he teaches us how to eat soup dumpling properly. We also follow him and his crew, which includes Grammy Award-winning producer Emile Haynie and nightlife empresarios Max Koshkerman and Simonez Wolf, to the Russian Bath and lastly back to BaoHaus for some drunken eats.

[@danieldanne7556]

10 years later I still keep coming back to this vid, love it

[@jordanridgeway4601]

I love how there are subtitles when I can hear him perfectly fine, but then he starts speaking in tongues and then it pops up "Speaking Chinese." Wtf Vice lol

[@mississippijohnfahey7175]

In this video: nobody gets high, but an asian man uses a lot of urban slang and obscenities to describe some average restaurants around new york, and gets very upset when his friend wants lobster. 10/10

[@danielli8511]

It's entertainment it's not ment to be realistic

[@benpaul22]

+Peter Mueller that asian dude Eddie is a fucking poser

[@bomberbang6857]

I am high as fuck rite now tho

[@rokuwhite156]

+Peter Mueller this video shows us whats good food and shit, and when im high, i want good food and i act exactly like this guy.

[@saviyou]

I wish I saw your comment before I watched the video, would've saved me 12 minutes and 13 seconds.

[@FlamerzZz]

you don't need to blur out the beer we know its tsing tao xD

[@danibaba7058]

FlamerzZz legal reasons...

[@vibingduck8556]

Dani Baba hey man it’s been 6 years how’s it been?

[@Tava]

[@TehStupidBish]

+Tavaman3 YOUR AVATAR GAVE ME NOSTALGIA. HOW DARE YOU

[@MrOTBxTrains]

at 2:00 "...it's chicken" they show a black guy devouring it lmfaoo

[@TheCashewOfDeath]

I have watched this 10 times. Man, Eddie ...quality programming.

[@Gippdixon]

I love Eddie, everything he has done on vice is on point. I enjoy learning about cultures and food and the way he does it is dope fresh!

[@nSmatic]

lmao this guy is epic! i love how every chef has something in common and that being: Being fun as fuck and funny and never get bored. This makes me proud to be a chef lmao

[@nSmatic]

Max Harper How did I state how epic i was? and yes, some chef's have a bigger ego than anything in the world.

[@JODIDOPIPA]

RossLinden97 You really cant tell how? You literally said 'all chefs are fun and funny as fuck. im a chef'

[@nSmatic]

JODIDOPIPA hmm...yes indeed. not saying that everyone else sucks. Just stating the obvious.

[@AVtheMcFly]

RossLinden97 lol man forget what these guys are saying, you were just doing a shoutout to the chefs with a touch of a humble brag! lmao I'm not judging, pop your collar Chef 97! (you just got a cool chef name, so if you take it public I want the rights to it lmao).

[@nSmatic]

Kaylne Goodson haha!

[@kyleglarum4898]

LOL "we only got shellfish, that's some baller shit" CAPTION " we only got shellfish, that's a ball of shit."

[@aislinnsexkitten18]

I like this guy lol. I just got finish eating and my mouth is watering looking at all those good foods.

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

That was a 12 minute lesson in trying to hard.

[@MissBunny850]

Its great to see actual Chinese food instead of the fake American stuff we think is chinese even though I still love it

[@justintran194]

This video and eddie huang is one of the best. I'm still watching this video after 3 years. DAYUM.

[@sixster296]

put some respek on my dumpling

[@JenniferBui]

Oh my fuvking god i love this dude

[@wiilyum]

I love going up to NYC because the smallest places are just golden when it comes to food and they don't need a super fancy exterior to show it off. Other places in other states if you see "Jeff's Burgers" down the street in a small shop you don't go near it. In NYC you try everything :)

[@dantetran3585]

Love this guy. Very funny and very knowledgeable

[@infinitygasmask]

When is 2012 vibes gonna come back ?

[@Callahan1]

This dude is the coolest dude alive. What a G.

[@Tyubirocks1]

Okay but nobody talks about the extreme irony of Mao being in a Taiwanese restaurant?

[@simondr70]

Omg i'd totally tear that shit up, all of this is so mouth watering ..

[@tiklmysoul]

love eddie! wassup with a season 3 munchies huang's world tho? been waiting yo. lol

[@shababsbotten69]

he looks like the asian version of shades from luke cage

[@CJVP99]

Eddie was being dramatic af, what's the big deal about getting all shell fish? lol

[@noodlepoodleoddle]

I can't believe I first saw this four years ago. Reading his book Double Cup Love now and really enjoying it.

[@hujajiblamble3337]

Everytime I see Eddie in a video I remember that time he went all in on Hot Ones. I cried laughing for ten minutes straight watching that video 😂💀

[@donkilluminati8746]

Eddie Huang is one of the factors that make up my personality

[@Demidar]

[@luigimario1144]

no you arent lol youre blind its for a membership/multiple prepaid visits to the baths

[@AllaniusLeonis]

+NaughtyNickers that better be for 420 visits

[@-vb]

+Casper sanderson 20 passes for 420

[@doccactus1989]

+Casper sanderson 420 blazeit

[@user-or3zy2ed7t]

Eddie Huang, the best! I want to see him be a judge on a cooking show, like master chef junior!

[@majorflight02]

I love this guy. Why am I just discovering him.

[@TheLexusguy94]

Man! I wanna hang out with Eddie for a day !

[@712818]

I'm too excited about Fresh Off The Boat airing in February. You funny as shit bro! Keep it up!

[@naarvmaan]

This is the type of dude that would actually pay Vice to go film his operation.

[@MrRobatt0w]

Why have I watched this like more than 8 times😂😂

[@FunkyRL]

eddie seems like a real cool guy, i can see why people stunt on him at first for having such an out there ego. But if you think about it hes not being a dick at all, seems like the kinda guy that just eases his way into friendships. and for how he treat his friends, hes from ny or just from a different place, maybe where he lives his friends joke and kid around like that, nothing serious.

[@barbj672000]

Mr. Huang.... I have seen you on several different channels.. Fung Bros.... Anthony Bourdain .... and let me say..... You, My friend... are... da Bomb!!! :D "This Westerner is So Annoying!" LOL!! Oh and Fried Ice Cream Gao Boa!!! Just too Damn Wonderful!!!

[@Patri_Fides]

"Act a fool" "Stuntin in front of shorties" What's with the early 2000's lingo? I get that he's a successful chef in NYC, but this guy should calm down with that shit. I don't get the impression that he's "street".

[@topgrabs]

he was really poor as a kid and at one point was marijuana dealer. he really loved tupac and stuff like that as a kid

[@ChrisM-bn5vr]

He grew up in a poor area of NYC. Maybe you should look into his background a little more before you hate on the dude.

[@topgrabs]

Chris Merrick IKR, these people always jumping to conclusions. smh

[@fonzicaston4213]

He seems like he's trying a bit too hard, maybe that's just how he is though.

[@luisalcala5209]

Chris Merrick He's from DC and grew up in Orlando.. Then went to school in Pittsburgh.. Aside from all that he was never really poor growing up. All of you idiots should do some research before trying to school people with facts

[@TehNeonPringle]

Getting tired of eating wannabe Chinese food, it's awesome to see someone doing it right. I hope I get to go to the Baohaus someday xD

[@prestonjay48]

As soon as he brings up chicken then a show black folk smh

[@manbunmyname5866]

+Dblues Why? You think he needs help?

[@nicoliciousxx]

+G.Fox48 He Huang for that

[@sempa312]

+anthony sengsouvanh yess

[@sr20DETdrift]

+G.Fox48 Stereotypes don't just paint themselves.

[@Lssjg702]

lmfao I just thought the same thing.

[@canibull]

the French dude look just like tom hardy

[@Andreh78]

I went to Baohaus last year, it was actually really good. Definitely recommend it to anyone.

[@bobbyjames7658]

A true Diplomat must be able to speak to the heart of every nation yet love and defend his own.Eddie could give a little of that.

[@xray455]

I just realised he was the person Fresh Off the Boat is based on? or am I tripping?

[@ZKZ123]

Welcome to the 21st Century!

[@eenheid8426]

Eddie! yeah it is

[@letsogichmaric5107]

wow who is that girl on your profile pic? soo cute

[@vask8896]

+Theman Oje who cares about xray who is that in your pic? soo cute

[@letsogichmaric5107]

idk maybe you changed picture or something but you had some girl that were soooo adoreble as your profile pic before xD i died a bit inside

[@AmenVictoria]

Those ice cream sandwiches looked bomb. All the Chinese Master Chefs went to Taiwan!?! Good too know. Next stop..

[@bazedjunkiii_tv]

Beauty And The Bear signed in terms of the ice cream things. do want one. now.

[@Demidar]

+Beauty And The Bear yea but .. Red bean paste ? wth

[@tenzip97]

+Casper sanderson red bean paste is actually sweet, you should try it! it's really good!

[@michaelkim6061]

I'm about to kidnapped him and bring him to my house as my personal chef xD

[@christopherxiong]

So much character! This is a complete squad. If anyone knows the name of that sick beat at the end, please give me a heads up. Thanks.

[@MKRocker2012]

lol I like that play on Bauhaus he's got going on for his restaurant.

[@vtec407]

don't be a hooligan

[@youngjo2014]

+Paul Castaneda don't you do tv shows?

[@axleblaze123]

Omg this guy.. .. It's fucking fried bao and ice cream nothing to be confused about

[@gtee93]

I remember going to imperial palace when I was little, and those rotating tables. The nostalgia man. Best memories were in ny and the city as a kid, hate living in the suburbs lol.

[@TheZSOTTER]

Eddie sounds so nice and gentle when he speaks Mandarin.

[@sliqkilla]

book by its cover... at first glance i didnt like this Eddie Huang guy, but after this video this kid is a boss!

[@DatFuzzyFeelin]

siiick channel dude, if ya ever need music for a vid you can use mine on mah channel :]

[@alexhawes6690]

Sliq Killa I still find him quite annoying,i hope his personality will grow on me though

[@ZoobaMaFooProDuction]

Sliq Killa check him out on the Joe Rogan Experience

[@YaYaizm]

damn i want that ice cream bao now!

[@jeb1111]

After seeing this video, we made a point to get to Baohaus for our annual NYC Christmas trip a month ago. I had the Chairman Bao & it was fucking incredible.

[@copperandgold4674]

Chefs night out before chefs night out was a thing

[@all-timealien4483]

Is it just me or does his "squad" look like that traveled straight from the 90s?

[@scholarlycat8180]

They're all in their 30s. They grew up in the 90s so that's probably why they act like that.

[@sleepsleeper4466]

90s>2000's lol..

"Getting High Off East-Eurasian Food" It's one continent after all...

Why does he remind me of an Asian Jonah Hill?

[@charlescross1500]

cus he's Asian and looks like Jonah hill

[@charlescross1500]

cus he's Asian and looks like Jonah hill

[@internetposer8172]

+Charles Cross just cuz he's chunky doesn't mean he looks like Jonah Hill

Ohhhhh, you mean a Jonah Li? He good actor...berry good

[@jessies1509]

Jake Pensola because he's fat and annoying

[@nguyenthanh8]

[@IgnatiusCheese]

[@LILGE510]

I love this guy, seems like he would be awesome to hang out with.

[@GWLM]

[@cameronbell7914]

I really want to see Action Bronson and Eddie Huang do a show together now. Somewhere cold where they both get high. Go eat some hearty fucking winter meals somewhere. Maybe Denver Colorado?

[@christiek36]

[@stevenstone1065]

[@jazz3j3211]

Why are his buddies walking behind him? Like, he's their daddy lol

[@zimrihinshaw3572]

[@Vybn2hy]

[@liligman]

This was my first meal when I stopped in Manhattan for Radiohead a few years back, didn’t disappoint. Gotta bring these to the west coast my guy

[@ulyssesbloodstoner6845]

[@user-yr8ko3ki5d]

Gotta love the pissed off white dudes in the comment section.

[@benfinch9829]

Come on if a white person was on KZbin being as racist as Eddie then their would an outcry!

[@kevinlification]

Nothing makes a whitoid more uncomfortable than a chinese man

[@JFchougaze]

@@kevinlification Especially when they blow their nose - shamelessly - all over the floor in a supermarket LOL I'm kidding. The only people that make me uncomfortable are other White People talking about shit like this.

[@mariodeathcore1]

This inspires me to become a chef, or atleast become more intuned with food.

[@AsianManiac252]

ive been at imperial palace tons of times brings back old memories :)

[@Parcolai]

Food's great, but he can tone down the character a bit.

[@Yarouz]

yeah he should be a conformist robot that's white-washed. totally agree with you BRAH.

[@darkdemonwave]

Yeah dude I know right

[@guambomb100]

Bro, Eddie Huang has grown up all around the east coast and has been heavily influenced by hip hop culture. Yeah, he's a bit gritty, but thats what makes him unique. Go watch Martha Stewart if he gets your heart rate too high.

[@freddylon5215]

Naw he's good the way he is. He don't need to tone down for what. He's good bro

[@dartiol101]

Robert Wainwright wtf are you talking about.
