[@coltonvanessa5096]

His food description are a million times more insightful than any other food vloggers out there. No generic "oh wow" or "that melts in your mouth" with this guy.

[@Apollo440]

Oishii!

[@jacobjuenger4454]

Helps having a trained palette as a chef. But yes I agree, Lucas is amazing in his descriptions and narration. I have really been enjoying this series, would love to continue seeing videos of him touring east asia (or elsewhere really!). Especially these small street-level places

[@ahmadfuaddin]

Sounds like you’re describing mark wiens 😅

[@coltonvanessa5096]

@@ahmadfuaddin I love Mark Wiens but he literally describes every single food the exact same way

[@gentleman8497]

He is better than some guys that have "daddy" issues. They like to 🥜 themselves in cars.

[@kl5792]

Give this guy a SHOW ALREADY!

[@dogoku]

I like finding Lucas all over youtube. It's a nice surprise every time

[@invertbrid]

Weird that this guy doesnt have his own cooking channel with few million subs already

[@outkhazted]

Lucas is gold. His passion for food and process is authentic and infectious.

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Heineken Carlsberg Debit Card

[@outkhazted]

@@NazriB wut?

[@rbgong89]

Well said.

[@bangkokcowboy]

really respect lucas for calling him a "master" ... thats who these chefs really are but people rarely say that just because they're not in some white table top fine dining setting ♥️

[@shelawathyv]

Lucas is the best, in another new episode. He visited a fruit shop in Bangkok that sells fruit dishes. And he addressed the young woman who was preparing the dish as "Chef". It nice to see stalls cooks being 'acknowledge' in that way

[@Face_Meat]

Lucas is, BY FAR, the best thing about BA recently.

[@danielernyao3887]

8:47 😊in b . not hughie

[@JaeLee85]

This guy manages to describe the cooking equipment, ingredients, and taste all with the same enthusiasm.

[@bobbymoss6160]

Lucas literally drooling out of his mouth as he's describing the science behind cooling the crab glass noodles. Me too. 🤣🤣

[@jesussalinas3947]

When he said “Stupid” under his breath it was at that point that I knew it was amazing! I also call things stupid when they are beautiful. Lucas is a modern day Alton Brown

[@rolandodiaz1487]

Thanks BA.... Here's the freaking Location! Somsak Claypot Crab branch1 @Charoen Rat 1 - 2 Charoen Rat Rd, Khlong Ton Sai, Khlong San, Bangkok 10600, Thailand

[@SniperShot168]

Can confirm, Somsak Crab is the real deal. Sooo much flavour in the dish. For those who don't want to sit on the street, they also have another store a block away in an actual sit-down and more importantly air-conditioned restaurant.

[@harutran4703]

The chef did absolutely amazing managing, inspecting and cooking all the ingredients!! His internal clock for cooking everything to perfection while being meticulous leaves me in awe

[@BruceMarley]

Lucas is an excellent communicator. Masterful storytelling and extremely knowledgeable.

[@Anespian1]

Lucas explanation on the cooking process and taste got me salivating and got me more appreciative of the chef cooking and the dish. Havenly. Cant wait to check out this unassuming stall when i go Bangkok

[@Smegmaalpha1]

His ability to narrate is the best I’ve seen since David Attenborough.

[@Vablonsky]

Evocative, intelligent, insightful, educational, and infectious. Brilliant commentary...as so many have mentioned already. And, it's such a simple dish too. Which makes what Lucas says all the more impressive. This dish is one I love to eat. Although I eat it with shrimp mostly and not crab.

[@hannestawarz2078]

I am so envious of Lucas getting to visit all these incredible vendors

[@cpp8227]

So informative and expressive; love Lucas's passion toward food! More please.

[@ropro9817]

I love watching Lucas nerd out like this. 😄 More, please. ❤

[@jz5748]

to notice the cleanliness of the lid,only a chefs eye can see

[@rainygrainyday]

"With the powers of oral dexterity" 🤣 so accurate. Such a perfect description.

[@noblepursuits]

BA and Food52 better keep up the Lucas content because he’s the only reason to watch their videos.

[@azfaru4367]

dude this guy mesmerizes with his commentary lol. love it

[@rizkyugrasena]

He's the best for describing any food.

[@DoJoStan]

Please keep doing these, love Lucas' insights on Asian cuisine.

[@Absurd000]

[@henrycruz3547]

Chef Lucas is the best! Beautifully spoken, always so much insight in all his videos! Top tier chef

[@Lonelykeanefan]

Chiming in to echo the scores of comments showing appreciation for Lucas! This was a delightful watch

[@brian338]

Lucas is the real deal. Real knowledge and real passion.

[@ScrewyS]

The respect he gives to each chef and staff on the episodes is wonderful, no matter the location or dish.

[@jonathanlianpy]

Always have this for dinner with my wife. It’s definitely the best you would ever find in Asia.

[@channinggroup2513]

Lucas is always the best in food description - a master of food story!

[@trey1531]

Found it! Somsak Claypot Crab branch1 @Charoen Rat 1 Bangkok is an incredible city

Yum I gotta make this!! It looks simple to cook and delicious too.

[@XwytreX]

Always glad to see Lucas back again

[@mariafranco5756]

Really appreciate the explanations of the process… you have the knowledge … I don’t and I appreciate it. Thank you 😊

[@Briguy1027]

LOL, just love the seasoning of those noodles -- making my mouth water.

[@chopter33]

thank you for sharing.

[@HiSpeedOxygen]

I feel like i know how to make crab glass noodles as well as the chef now. Ty Lucas!

[@AnnapolisGirly]

Lucas is the greatest way to finish my day!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love your content 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@omiomardreamer0929]

I just became even more inspired. I'm seeing people that I admiring for artistry for food.

[@englishwillable]

I’ve lived in Bangkok for 15 years. Much respect

[@chichir5714]

We need more of Lucas content!

[@sntnoo]

really impressed with the vocabularies of how he describes/review this. never heard someone said "oral dexterity" before in a food review videos 👏

[@clauzingc51]

great presentation of technique and culture.

[@simondweck757]

Absolutely yummy

[@kylow3004]

Lucas's love for food just makes me sooo hungry

[@TripleMTmoney]

We need more Lucas series videos

[@anthonytienchau]

Thank you, Chef. I gotta go to Thailand soon.

[@FJVBS]

This is the most informative KZbin video I’ve ever watched

[@AlanSmith88888]

Lucas is the GOAT of food vlogs

[@sleepyjoeisnotlegit]

More Lucas please. Goat!

[@secretosecreto3966]

I used to live on that street. It tastes amazing! Aroi Mak Mak!

[@chasekania6456]

This guy did an incredible job describing the chef’s approach, and then his descriptions during the actual meal itself were fantastic. I’m jealous, that meals looks a,aging.

[@muzzzai1130]

this guy know how to talk about food..keep going mate

[@norkmork9955]

Oh cool! Didn't know that about the peppercorns vs chili peppers. Great video!

[@Alice_Walker]

Lucas is the BEST 🤩

[@4r6thy7r]

The play by play of the cooking process 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@ChaBroken]

We need a whole series of him talking about food

[@karlbenmafia]

Perfection

[@JM-md4ux]

the play by play is insane, respect.

[@TheDd4477]

Genius!!!

[@matthewang6007]

Lucas may be the only few person capable of doing a food log under a podcast format.

[@kennethwu115]

Thanks Chef❤

[@jching808]

Unbelievable video Lucas

[@jennywu73]

I haven’t tried glass noodles, looks delicious.

[@yeungeddie]

FASCINATING

[@Jason-sp5yc]

I'm struck by how other countries have figured out how to do street food without the disposable containers that are so prevalent in the US. We could learn something.

[@Trai-ban]

The dish has many different spices but is great

[@wilaisuadee3158]

We just follow you , appreciate that you visit and try Thai street food

[@Despite37]

you are CARRYING bon appetit these days

[@lrodd247]

Never heard of fermented white pepper but I would love to try it, I love pepper! Gonna check Google to see if it's available in the U. S. Amazing chef and very talented 👏 Host was great with the descriptions as well 😎

[@andriod1622]

This guy love his food...

[@yang1212]

I need Lucas to narrate my life

[@timdonnelly3792]

It's about the food/culture and not about him. That's what we like. Creators of all types -- social media ain't a mirror.

[@Phil-tl8vp]

Love thai food especially street food, but ive never been a big fan of glass noodles. Chiang Mai has a fantastic noodle stall at Tha Pae gate that has been there for decades. They do amazing Mee Gaew, moo Daeng, Luk chin. Aroy Maak Maak😋

[@infinixerproperties1967]

Actually the part that he mentioned about sechuan peppercorn arrivals in Thailand, the fact is there was something similar if not the same in the northern part of Thailand called “ma-khwin” which used for northern style larb.

[@maknifeandrods7701]

🤩 wow

[@dylan8400]

Oral dexterity is crazy

[@mangcream8934]

Did he say the name/location of the food stall once? Lol

[@vitzveer]

He said the name of the owner at least LOL

[@yeungeddie]

GOLD

[@kevinkevin6767]

a classic and super delicious dish. a little bit of high end and a little bit of low end plus some time and effort equals delicious

[@aprilfook7787]

My favourite. 🥰🥰🥰🥰😋😋😋😋😋

[@ASMRFoodieEats]

SUCH A DELIGHT 😊 to watch this I also want to go and try this so bad 😢😅 Thailand 🇹🇭 here I COME ✈️ 🛩 🛬 💺 🛫 ✈️ 🛩 🛬 💺 🛫 ✈️

[@lcc726]

I see Lucas I click

[@maryshawn905]

Yumm😊

[@Silvia-ji8em]

Genial

[@hpufo]

I wish they would put the location in the videos or description. I am going to Bangkok in a month.

[@Iceyfire12]

Exactly it’s like you have to hunt to find this LOL!

[@Iceyfire12]

If you google Somsak Pu Orb (Charoen Rat) Michelin Guide you’ll find it! Had to go dig through the Michelin once I see the sign!

[@YungRamo]

2 Charoen Rat Rd, Khlong Ton Sai, Khlong San, Bangkok 10600, Thailand

Me too. I during Thanksgiving. I hope I can find this place.
