Why We Eat: Pupus, with Sheldon Simeon

[@animalarmy]

I love that we are able to get someone like chef Simeon who is so knowledgeable about the history of the food from our home. I don’t think I would choose anyone else to share these recipes from Hawai’i.

[@hellfish2309]

True agreed to all; but the bro side of me wants a Hawaiian chef on the scene who’s all serious and edgelord 😄… maybe antithetical, but I’m interested in seeing that twisted charm

[@rodneyyoung1485]

@@hellfish2309 I wanna hear more "brah", "chee" and "shoots" if I'm being nitpicky.

Can we all agree that this man is a treasure?! Food isn't here just to keep us alive, but to keep cultures and history alive as well!

[@martinquintana5837]

Chef Sheldon always cook 's with Aloha. That's why his dishes are one of a kind and is so ono. He is not ashamed of his roots and displays it in his cooking. Growing up in Kalihi I can still smell the dishes my mom prepared. And the sardines and onions is my dad's favorite which I grew up enjoying. Stay safe out there Chef Sheldon and you have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

[@LilMsInosent]

This all looks incredible. I love when a chef has that kind of passion.

[@mirabletest]

He loves poo poo

[@kshiosaki]

Proud that this is being shared on a huge platform. Proud to be from Hawaii and Sheldon is sharing culture and history with our cuisine! Right on

[@TPark-rf3lt]

I LOVE that Sheldon (and Vice/Munchies) is spreading education about the food of Hawaii🤙🏼so awesome!

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

There is so much ALOHA in this video. Thank you, Chef Simeon, for sharing the flavors, stories, and rich cultures of Hawaii, one of the most special places on earth. 🌺

[@funkdahmental]

“Crab rangoon take a backseat” Amen. This that real culture

[@bobbythedisneydad5221]

Tin Roof was definitely one of our highlights in Maui during our recent visit. The meals were so effing delicious!!! Definitely recommend if on the island. Thanks Chef!!!

[@Xansting]

His knowledge of history when it comes to all the ingredients he’s using, where it comes from, how and when it was integrated into his culture is amazing. His love for his craft and home is truly inspiring

"In the simeone household, we're known for heavy poo poos" auto-generated caption

[@Babitoswold]

My 5 year old son was watching and as soon as he said pupus, my son said "poopoo?!!" and laughed following with another laugh when he said "peepee."

[@Babitoswold]

Food looks sooo delicious 😋

[@XHUERO3]

Can't wait till your son tell someone you were watching videos on how to eat pupus and pee pee

[@amon3350]

"What kind of pupu do you want?" "Pipi, please." "So, pipi pupu?" "Yes. Pipi Pupu please."

[@Dogatem]

Oh and by the way, where can i do the peepee poopoo?

[@Harrold-Ballasagna]

I laughed when he said he's known for heavy pupus! Looks hella bomb tho.

[@alexanderosullivan9764]

The auto generated subtitles are crazy at the start

[@guthries]

do you accept eating poo poo?

[@kaizer20xl]

Love the history lesson with food

[@cheehee808_]

Pupus nowadays in hawaii is pretty much anything that you can eat with beer. Boiled peanuts, smoke meat, poke, dried aku, lil smokies, etc

[@skyblue9991]

Me: Whats for dinner? Sheldon: peepee and poopoo.

[@alvinlee140]

Thank you for showing these dishes

[@dillonellis4798]

4:05 “We’re known for heavy poopoos.”😈

[@Epicawes]

I could listen to him all day

[@Smi7h1sH3r3]

chee hee 808 state!!!! Love seeing people from home doing it up right!!

[@elsalisa146]

I got Sheldons beautiful cookbook. So happy to see these videos listening to him tell story and make some tasty ono food.

[@vcli1]

I went to a Hawaiian inspired takeaway for lunch here in Singapore after watching this video. I asked for pupus and the staff looked confused, horrified and scared. I'm guessing pupus haven't yet made a splash outside of the Aloha State?

[@C4LLM3G0D159]

Sheldon you are historian of food and Hawaii culture!

[@STCKBXS]

This dude is a national treasure

[@williamsnyder1205]

Hahaha, I've got dear friends upcountry maui, when we go to visit them that's one of my favorite things, sitting around drinking 🍻 some good clod beers and doing shots of chili pepper water!!

[@j2kim]

need more sheldon!

[@mokajones74]

I've known the term Pupu Platter since I was a child, now I actually know what it means.

[@skroll82]

Wow, I didn't even make that connection until I read your comment. I've heard it plenty of times from family. Now it's freaking me out because I don't know where THEY picked it up.

[@mokajones74]

@@skroll82 bruh I think there was a huge surge of fascination into hawaiian/Polynesian culture in American pop culture at some point while our parents were children

[@mokajones74]

I know so many random facts about Hawaiian culture that I don't know where it came from

[@scottmathes3647]

Love your cooking style. And a huge fan of sardines....

[@p0kkib0wl96]

Go to this place when ever I’m in Maui. Super delicious

[@williamsnyder1205]

My Brother, you had me drowning, my mouth was watering so,so bad,😂 lol thank you so much

[@beesknees1945]

Aloha, Thanks for the sardine recipe, simple and easy!

[@stapletonwill]

WHY DOESNT HE EVEN CRACK A SMILE WHE HE SAYS PEE PEE POO POO

[@KyokujiFGC]

This dude legit no-sold all the pee pee, poo poo jokes.

[@magnetic0314]

Because it's his culture and he respects it.

[@AqvaSerpentis]

After eating it and being around it for many years it doesn’t even have an effect anymore

[@kpaukeaho6180]

These are words with a different meaning in the Hawaiian language. It doesn’t have those associations for us

[@Lividbuffalo]

3:57 An oven cannot simulate sun-drying. The former cooks food with convected + radiated heat. Drying is different.

[@CYI3ERPUNK]

gonna be trying some of that sardine dish later 2moro ; thanks CHEF Sheldon for the recipes =] ALOHA

[@natesmultishop1814]

When is your pupu book coming out??!!

[@gab.lab.martins]

I'm Brazilian. His Portuguese-creole-like pronunciation of "cruzes!" ("crosses!") just made me guffaw. Took me a few seconds to understand what he was saying, but then loud laughter.

[@mj22revolution]

Poja!!

[@Shizzmonger]

lots of pipi and pupu in this video! My 7 year old brain is loving it!

Love Sheldon

[@landseverywhere2155]

The sardine one killed me The only difference in my culture you eat it with deep fried bread Every sunday morning lol 👍

[@laneyes6759]

there is such a japanese influence to this day that instead of teaching spanish as the second language in public schools like the ones all across the mainland, they actually teach most commonly japanese.

[@KingpinOverlord]

Watching this while making pupus of my own 😬

[@KingpinOverlord]

2 days later… again making pupus while watching a guy do a great pupus

[@stonedmau5]

my bro out here using peepee to make poopoo, call me childish but this is funny hahaha

[@billygowhoop]

That beef would probably make such a bomb sandwich. Especially if it was topped with a bit more of that chili pepper relish.

[@3DomSculpts]

Poo poo and pee pee cola? I'm in.

[@dillonellis4798]

4:56 “Onto another poopoo.”😎

That lemon olive oil has legit changed my dining life. Some food will never be the same after his versions.

Why would you think it’s trolling? Have you heard of other languages? These are Hawaiian language terms and names.
