[@maddog5974]

budget Steven and Andrew

[@doctorm1ke]

Madelyn Isabella lol yes

[@HimeeIvy]

😂😂😂

[@collisionsc-7875]

"budget" This may or may not be more expensive

[@jichaelmordan3858]

Brhiannon Tucker his girlfriend

[@lizziebarrie]

They do not expend thousands of dollars, everything is handed to them in some sort of giving publicity to the restaurants 😂

[@valerieliu4666]

Andrew and Steven look different

[@fahkrudin98]

If Steven was buff and Andrew had a tattoo

[@JELLOOOxD]

"We've found something more beautiful than Evan." NONONONONONO! 😂😂😂

[@ilhan691]

Rae Concepcion where in the video did they say that

[@chrischiang3652]

yeah, I don't remember hearing that

[@hasmz2286]

Zoe Wright I think it was around 3:38...if my ears still serve me right...😅

[@hidayatnazri3905]

Imagine if David came there and was like"Hey Even.Wheres Steven and Andrew?"

[@flum6178]

Lul... even, where's odd?

[@MsTremanineNeverson]

Don't forget Adam. He's essential

[@stevenhum8722]

hidayat nazri I

[@Rye-Ann]

There's something so satisfying about watching people enjoy delicious food.

[@pricklypear3128]

This made me miss Andrew and Steven 😭😭

[@gcnbslhrs9413]

The amount off money that buzzfeed spends on this type of videos

[@Bill_Entropy]

21Savage 1312 the amount of money they earn back from ad revenue

[@Omggalaxy]

21Savage 1312 they don't actually pay for anything lol

[@minhtrung0602]

Omg Galaxy pretty sure momofuku doesnt need buzzfeed for ads

[@justinhernandez8800]

Buzzfeed is estimated at nearly a billion dollars, trust me this is nothing

[@awesome124651]

21Savage 1312 its only $200 per person

[@JoNJoShY]

"We finally found something more beautiful than Evan" I burst out laughing. =))

[@samster729]

when they said 12 courses, i didn't expect 11 bites and a steak

[@Lyw1234567890]

hoshi stan that's the point lol. Eating at these sorts of restaurants is more about experiencing each individual flavor and appreciating it like art. There's no excess so each flavor can be realized fully

[@QuesadiIIaa]

yeet

[@PandoraBear357]

They said at the beginning they were going to be eating selections from the 12 course meal because it would take like 2 hours to eat the actual meal.

[@benkahtan6802]

I've experienced the full meal and can confirm it is filling. There are 3-4 larger courses (depending on how you look at each) and even the smaller ones are heavy on proteins and fats. The total was pretty stuffing even over 2 1/2 hours.

[@Lpsarna]

More videos like this! You guys are the perfect duo

[@dawnscarlettt]

Loved this combo, a really entertaining video!

[@gavlatennis2824]

Great video. Love the quips they make whilst trying the dishes.

[@esmemehreen4053]

Has anyone else seen Food Wars because I saw Michelin star and I was just like DID CHEF SHINOMIYA GET ONE YET

[@324173467]

Esmé Green Haha same

[@pcgamerz9271]

That guy is sexy

[@maqi8222]

shokugeki

[@pearlshah3301]

I love these kind of vids!

[@tiklmysoul]

I love this duo!! Finally a more sophisticated review!

[@gleibancolita]

Sexier and more subtle 'steven and andrew' and I like it! More of them please!

[@meghanbrianne17]

This is the most envious I've ever been watching a Buzzfeed video. And thats sAYING something.

[@emilienantel]

give these boys their own series they are amazing

[@rachelnguyen7725]

They're both so good looking!!

[@earlessroboticcat7102]

The dishes and the drinks looks so good that I want to buy some!

[@michaelnudo1584]

Make this a series!!!

[@andrey-nq6ej]

The little white seed things are basil seeds. When you roast and soak them in water they swell. (Note I believe there basil seeds I'm not a reliable source I'm just going off what I know)

[@JohnDoe-po3ku]

i wonder how much of this is just the power of suggestion

[@miguelt124]

I thought it was michelen the tire company

[@yoyojojo00]

A 93 Year Old Virgin it's the same company!

[@maryp992]

A 93 Year Old Virgin ya it's designed by the Michelin car company ☺️

[@angelita_chip7772]

A 93 Year Old Virgin I LOVE your name

[@yoyojojo00]

There's even a lil Michelin man on the restaurant guide

[@masha7377]

From what I remember from French class in school, the Guide Michelin started out as summer special travel restaurant guides in France, often promoting restaurants close to the motorway. From there, it developed into one of the most important restaurant critics world wide.

[@llyrmilla7269]

You see people, these kinds of food arent the one that makes you full, rich people eat it for the quality and the taste. They are made to perfection. The experience and exclusivity. Kinda tired of people who are complaining of small portions with expensive price in expensive restaurants. -.-

[@llyrmilla7269]

Also, these dishes are actually made with a lot of effort. Example: Aged meat. One simple mistake in making one of them, then its discarded.

[@Lyw1234567890]

Llyr Milla I know right! These sorts of places are places you go if you want to experience food as an art form. It's an experience, and it's not for everyone

[@kymma8533]

Honestly, I have had high end food like that. And yes it is art and beauty is a big factor, but after a meal like this you leave the restaurant full.

[@JustYourAverageGirl2002]

I've been to restaurants like these and I HATE them. I get it, it's an artform. But at the end of the day that's all it is. You're paying for an art piece, not to be satisfied. I want to be satisfied and the stomach will never know or understand ugly as long as the food doesn't poison you. Why would I pay for something so wasteful? People have opinions and the right to complain. It's okay to think that this kind of thing isn't worth the money. There is plenty of quality, high end, food out there that is actually worth your money and will leave you full. I think it sickens me just a bit to see places like this. Like people you can afford to pay out the wazoo for two bites of food? Why not pay less money, get good quality food that will fill you, and then donate the rest of that money to people who don't even have food.

[@karthikrox6310]

JustYourAverageGirl by your logic they should buy a cheap car, cheap home and donate the rest. It's their money which they worked hard and earned and they can spend it how they wish

[@mlum]

It was so cute to see these two guys freak out over the eggs!!

[@mschris813]

this made me cry!!!

[@jamesharden8292]

Why were they saying caviar AND eggs, caviar are eggs too.

[@KuraioTI]

KY7 racism these days just because caviar is black, they don't call it "eggs" xD.

[@jamesharden8292]

Willem Zhang EXACTLY! ALL EGGS MATTER

[@KuraioTI]

KY7 Ikr

[@kikikira8416]

Wasn't there an egg next to the caviar

[@kikikira8416]

to differentiate the different type of egg

[@imshooktothecore9521]

Anyone here been to any momofuku restaurants cause I've been to one. Fucking god bless those damn restaurant so fucking good

[@estherlee4692]

I've been to momofuku milk bar in nyc and it's the BEST

[@devonfranklin8625]

I love him, he has a whole season about his resturant on netflix

[@rapunzelights1565]

Newest bucket list item: this

[@vashappeninjas]

i kept thinking o mr krabs playing that sad violin song with his tiny violin throughout this whole meal

[@sasharecone]

this was too chill i half expected keith to show up and scream something about how good it was

[@momosugawara3816]

literally my two favorite daddy's of buzzfeed (drool)

[@jerryismydog]

Do the one in woodenville washington!! There's beautiful winery there and willows lodge is a beautiful hotel. 15 course meal!!

[@merirurin]

I'm watching this at 1 in the morning and I'm really hungry but I'm too scared to go outside and get food

[@jamieahaha6270]

evan's laugh at 3:39 is the cutest thing on the internet

[@Ateka9]

Props that this restaurant makes excellent food that's still enjoyable by everyone, not just food snobs!

[@kennedyandjory]

How is this not a series already; going to the Best restaurants in cities across the states

[@lavyaisha1926]

i love these two characters from buzzfeed (idk maybe my words are too cliche but idk what to say other than that)

[@cloudsweater]

The new Steven and Andrew?! Evan and (I forgot his name.) the white dude!!!!

[@mmaattsumaria9414]

"The price of my body just increased." omfg evan! You're priceless ugh

[@SanskarWagley]

"Now that's refreshing" Like this if you saw the Worth It Lifestyle episode

[@veritoalaniz2041]

Evan and his fancy way to drink wine 😍 I love him!

[@GliteryIcecreamPanda]

The bromance is so alive here!! Ship 😂

[@glitteryhunchback]

I am a simple girl, you put Evan in the thumbnail and I'll watch it, he's just that adorable.

[@romilmonpara8887]

Vry generous amount of food served👍

[@stephanieromano5017]

" I didn't think it was possible but we found something more Beautiful than Evan!" 😂😂🙌🏻✨💕

[@Animaniafreak]

Nope, without Steven and Andrew, this is just another food video.

[@maysmama1273]

They should have included the price of each plate

[@ZaharaGamez]

Mays Mama it's a tasting menu. Which means you pay for 12 courses. Not individually. And it's 195 dollars for the tasting. Or if you go to the bar it is 70 for a 5 course menu or 95 for a 6 course

[@kma4835]

Trish Pizzica ty this is what I was looking for that's insane and I highly doubt I'd ever try it

[@Existantia]

its not at all insane. It's a Michelin Star experience. Maybe one that is above the palate of a commoner? Consider the price of all the ingredients they are purchasing to make this, plus the work put into everything. If you want basic food at your price point, I'm sure you can find a McDonald's.

[@anonymoushy7815]

damn, that's surprisingly cheap lol, I've always thought that Michelin Stared Restaurants costs $500+ per person per meal, now it seems like it really have to do with how many stars the restaurants was rated? Like this one I don't think was 3 stars, might've been lower considering that fact that I've seen better dishes than this one, or it might just be the tasting course was less expensive

[@anonymoushy7815]

+Existantia They probably don't have crazy good ingredients, I think it's more about the environment, their reputation, and how they made the food that makes it pricy.

[@ChoChoEA]

Should’ve been a WORTH IT- One Stop episode lol 😂

[@deianthedon]

12 courses of 1 teaspoon of food each ( most of them). great!

[@TomHawthorneJr]

My parents ate here in 2015.. August I think... For the two of them w/ full pairing (All the wine) it cost them $1,000.00 US without the gratuity. But they loved it and they said they will be back.

[@NFPatcharin]

I've had a chance to dine 8 course Michelin Starred dinner once and its like food that only 1% of people in this world eat! Probably would do it again but once a year? haha.

[@jordanambrose2241]

Looks like a bootleg version of Worth It.

[@Alienman1212]

not really

[@tracyqin7589]

Jordan Ambrose Meh, different people, just an expensive meal instead of the different prices. You gonna call every video that shows people eating expensive food a worth it rip off. Worth It doesn’t mean expensive meal. It means different meals at different price points. People are getting so mad over nothing.

[@frealynn]

I guess that's kind of the Worth It 'cult' rolling. Hahaha Worth It is my favorite shows too and I damn love the trio the most but yeah I saw these kinds of reactions lately too

[@MandoEmmm]

I'd eat this, then immediately afterwards get some Al Pastor tacos and call it a day

[@xterminaler]

the ko egg is prepared in an immersion circulator

[@ayannachristina8006]

Did you guys think you could just grab another Asian guy and white guy and we wouldn't notice 😂😂😂

[@mschris813]

true!

[@pinkheart315]

Ayanna Christina omg Lol

[@bcaye]

They aren't actually comparing different restaurants so why would you even compare the two? This is closer to the 'people try' type Buzzfeed videos.

[@emily-dr3cv]

their an older version of steven & andrew

[@marchhippo230]

Emma 637 it's funny you say that, cuz Evan is younger than the both of them.

[@zhumiss7054]

More like manbeast version to me.,😚😚😚

[@fruitsandghosts2675]

They're*

[@colleendenny8630]

This needs Adam. Actually, I just need more Adam.

[@0urMutualFriend]

inspiring me to enter into cooking school

[@XrodGaming]

Is the Toronto location the exactly the same as this one?

[@dvv3122]

Xrod Gaming i been to the one on university, don't think it's the same

[@beatrizfores]

Wow foodie wow. Foodie me wants to go there!

[@Starscall]

When you reach for your phone because you hear a Kakao notif and you don't realize it's from the video.

[@tarokawai8227]

the only description they did is "this thing is fresh"

[@ei7576]

Here in Norway we have aviar on tubes... and we boil egs and bring a tube of caviar at school (i dont because it stinks and caviar is dusgusting, but alot of people do)

[@karsynrasmussen]

Buzzfeed: feed the guys, make the girls do dangerous diets👌🏻that seems right and fair

[@MadiAvery]

Can't believe they went all the way out to New York. I bet the food was Worth It though...😧😧😂😂

[@MrOmen_]

Those food portions are huge....

[@muhammeddhansay9741]

Watching this while eating a bowl of ramen

[@finakim1121]

"I am not worthy of this 😂😂😂"

[@jpbaugh]

Does it come with a magnifying glass?

[@KristineAnneCastro]

Y'all need to leave this for the Worth It guys.

[@ThEeDiTtEdViDeOs]

i like how i can't afford anything buzzfeed shows

[@unoccupied2224]

This is making me so damn hungry

[@davidjouaneh4960]

It's so FRESH

[@UsernamesForDummies]

I’m experiencing food-envy. Droooool!

[@earthtohazel4380]

What about trying one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurant?

[@hiram201]

he lost his stars, Yu-Gi-Oh took em he was sent by the Michelin Tire company.

[@kakashi541]

"It's fresh. Like... so... fresh."

[@bulletmccarthur]

"Caviar and eggs; Who knew??" I mean... it's' just eggs and more eggs.

[@maatejow]

that kakaotalk sound tho...

[@anishad859]

what is this hidden gem of two beautiful people?

[@Alexcutspie]

The amount of times they repeat each reassurance about the food is like the way Manny May repeats Jeffree star

[@benisisballin]

When my mother starts yelling at me and I'm just like "momofuku"

[@estherpark2666]

1:04 when evan gets a kakao message HAHAHA

[@windyyuu3751]

“Well, that is refreshing”

[@pickles1314]

I feel like I'd be full after the egg dish.

[@laserduchamp8071]

Hmmmm now I'm jealous and hungry. Nice meal dudes

[@Yams7]

Literally does ANYONE actually feel full after that???

[@harristengku7153]

Ashley Moon nope I feel hungry

[@stephanieann6622]

Ashley Moon With what they're being served its honestly quite filling and that's also why it's served in small quantities. I do believe that too much of some of these sea foods can make you physically sick. So that's probably the other reason why they don't have big dish fulls.

[@badasschicks156]

One course was literally a whole steak, that's pretty filling on its own.

[@DoctorMcHerp]

The portions are small because they're often very rich, and because there are more than five dishes that are included. It's going to fill you up, especially with the wine and other beverages being served in between. It's kind of like when you're cooking at home and you continuously taste your food. By the time you're done cooking, you won't be as hungry.

[@mariana2077]

Ashley Moon the steak was big

[@masterxDh20]

I feel like they are gonna be hungry after that food.

[@mflotzinger1592]

I like those two together

[@honeyradioh]

Amontillado. The Cask of Amontillado.

[@ethanpark1992]

you know its a good restraunt when they give a lemon in your drink

[@trivia3108]

I think I'm gonna love the dish so much if it got me talking about Harry Potter

[@VKTR_Tech]

"What is that sweetness?" It's called sugar.

[@kriximae2817]

More videos of Evan and Ben pleeeeeease! ❤️

[@Woodennote]

Momofuku milk bar is pretty dank

[@anvilelf4546]

I wish I could try anything other than my dollar-store-solutions to food...

[@Garlic_bread_7012]

Lobster in a hotdog? Wow! Fancy hotdog!
