Munchies: Brad Spence

Ah, Philadelphia: the city is beautiful, the people are honest, and the food scene is unreal. One of the people responsible for this is Brad Spence, who helms Philadelphia's finest trattoria, Amis. Brad's food is influenced by dishes you would find in casual restaurants in Rome. And like any good American chef, Brad takes those old standbys and expands on them, drawing inspiration from the wonderful food he finds in the City of Brotherly Love.
For this episode of Munchies, he brought us on a culinary adventure with his sous chef, Craig Parahus, and his brother-in-law, Kevin Griffin. They introduced us to Peter McAndrews and Han Chiang, two colorful characters who could best described as the Andrew Dice Clays of Philly's restaurant scene. Buon Appetito.

Han should get his own show.

[@littlefrog9553]

yesss

[@dingbat99]

I seriously, genuinely, want Han to have his own show!

[@KorDawg91]

their is so much oil on Hans dishes im surprised america hasnt invaded it

[@indigolove8360]

"The American needs to be educated. When they come here, I educate them. And if they listen, great, you're gonna have the best authentic meal of your life." Wow, this is like my dream chef/place to eat. I just love to learn.

[@bloodyleech]

Fucking respect man taking food back to culture I can't believe am so close to this and I haven't attended

[@ppbloodyrs]

Congratulations vice on the 600th video!! Im proud to say i watched them all. Really appreciate the diversity of the vids.

[@MrTibbs]

I like this and been cooking for a while a it never ceases to amaze me the flith and depravity that I see coming from from hospitality people but its all just a cleaver ploy to mask the commitment dedication and self sacrifice that is required to succeed in the food game. Even though we get up one anothers nose from time to time we do roll deep. When knives start flying remember to duck bItchs.

[@ftgv1]

Wonderful to listen to a man who is so passionate about his work...

[@idoesitwatido]

Han is the man Been out with him before Go to Han Dynasty and get the double cooked fish!

[@b74k3]

Congrats on 600 vids, Vice! Hope the next 400 are as awesome!

[@Fuhgawz102]

Han was the fucking shit!!!

[@smilyface38]

Han is fucking crazy awesome.

[@Shadowboost]

Han is funny as hell, but seriously though, how the hell do they sell lunch specials for $4.50????

[@boogiechillen123]

By using expired meat and pouring msg over it so you can't taste the bad meat.

[@carteranderson4093]

+Shadowboost the same reason you dont see a bunch of stray dogs running around

[@HollyALenny]

You need to get all the legends from all these munchies and put them all together for a munchies special!!

[@chanellemulan8004]

Omg who wouldn't want to hang out with these guys. Lol

[@shadow.banned]

"I used to smoke and rollerblade off [INAUDIBLE]" LOL

[@Tenpoundcat]

"You Just Eat And Shit The Fuck Up" lmao! xD

[@Gmoney2dope]

I like how Han is drinking beer out of a to-go soup container

[@RobbyJHope]

I've lived in Philly my whole life and never heard of these guys. Thanks Vice! I'll check 'em out now!

[@Maghau6]

600 videos! .. congratz vice :)

[@ochristopholusyanguss]

loved this episode!

[@italiaskate25]

One of the best Munchie videos by far! :)

[@SethHesio]

Han is hysterical. When he was talking about what kind of girl he needed and the words "stripper" and "gamer" came up.. I love how direct and honest he was being. Brilliant.

[@maximillian-fox]

This is the kind of group you needa eat with. Nothing but good vibes and laughs

[@NedTheDread]

this was one of the best ones!!!! for sure

[@deetyliston958]

Love these vids, I feel like a fly on the wall.

[@dimplex]

prob my fav ep of Munchies by vice. so hungry right now

[@HaikuMalta]

the narrative (when he was slicing the mortadella sandwitch), wow.

[@SlyApex]

Loved this one! funny people interesting food...just awesmoe

[@daweilei]

Give Han his own munchies segment! He is the man.

[@Taevira]

For those of you wondering what he's using as a casing, it's called beef bung. It's the appendix of the cow (not the lower intestines) because the appendix has a closed end. Before you say ew, this is how all sausage used to be made and some dishes are stuffed into the stomach too (haggis). Modern casings are now made from collagen, cellulose, plastic.... I'd rather have to traditional stuff!! Nom nom nom

[@patrickpeterson6947]

Han needs his own VICE series.

[@Klaumydia]

hhaha han cracked me up, love that dude

[@Bibbly53]

That is a chill group right there. Well shot too. PRO PRO

[@georgepetrenko1]

Munchies series is awesome.

[@mattcummins2419]

[@chriscash782]

Han, no filter, I really respect that.

[@partykrew666]

[@MrTibbs]

Oh and Mr Han you come right out of a comic book! He's dope

[@username102490]

You are missing out, been to all of these and they are unrivaled in the area.

[@FinenDine]

Awesome show

[@JFD1220]

"That's the most beautiful thing I've seen since I saw granny porn yesterday" hahahaha

[@thatsmyrail]

This was actually a fun Munchies to watch.

[@Ungoliant92]

Awesome!

[@ClearComplexity]

Lol, I didn't doubt Han would be a huge point in the comments, and for good reason, he's crazy hell but in a good way. These guys were down to earth and that Chinese and those Sandwiches...damn!

[@Harnosharn]

I love how I go from watching an interview with an assassin to this.

[@anthonychrisbradley]

I've watched all the munchies and these chefs where the coolest hands down..and the food looked fucking amazing.

[@clntmagee]

This series and everything with Eddie Huang is dope.

[@voteZDLR]

Yeah, you are probably right about that. I do know NJ as a whole is probably one of the most diverse states in the entire country, though. As for the spread between South and North... I really don't know. I spent about 5 years in South Jersey, though

[@smrand2]

Philly has some amazing places to eat for sure

[@frankliriano]

[@michaelkainth]

[@ffffffffasfe]

Looks like fantastic food to me, you're lucky to live near nice restaurants like this.

[@hobojoe55]

Han said why I like this channel. No censorship at all.

[@CdnGamer]

Vice- Get Chuck Hughes to give you guys a proper tour of Montreal food. The one you did a few weeks ago was very incomplete. Chuck is the man.

[@deagalore]

[@Zepherus2]

[@loseuwill]

I would like Vice to do a vid with just Han as the main chef. Shoot, he should have his own television show.

[@Dochorahan]

Han is chill.

[@barpillar11]

Han is 32???? Dude, you take a vacation.

[@michaelkainth]

You've got my support on that one!

[@provanost]

I love Han.

[@Hawdkoah]

Give Han his own show.

[@DreamClean]

In a small space you can have the best of all those countries.

[@PimpPancreas]

Philly is a great city. Everyone is nice, and it's a beautiful town. Before I ever went there, I had a bad view of them from sporting events. They're not so nice at those, when they're in other states. lol

[@MagicgerG]

[@Trey7672]

Damn I get so hungry every time I watch these

[@MCity352]
