No Reservations - Tony & Dave eat korean seafood hot pot

[MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt]

that was cruel.. im starving! looks AMAZING

[iwasborntobefly]

i think it's funny that chang said they don't want white people there. in koreatown in la, there's a total vibe that nonasians are NOT welcome in a lot of restaurants. that sort of bothers me about promoting korean restaurants in koreatown and places like it. why promote them? often you're completely not welcome when you show up.

[shalom1948hellyeah]

@iwasborntobefly Dave was being facetious

it's like a lot of ethnic places. when you go up to harlem you get a lot of stares from the black folks too

like Bourdain says, these are not Americanized places serving egg rolls and wonton soup. if you can speak Korean or know what you're doing then they'll welcome you

they just don't want to deal with white morons crying about the food or making a fuss

at least it's restaurants for u. asians are unwanted on TV and in universities

[iwasborntobefly]

@shalom1948hellyeah he may have been facetious but there was truth there. and it's not merely stares that happen. i'm black and i've been in many korean/asian restaurants in l.a. and i have even been refused service and/or completely ignored. and to say asians are unwanted in universities is an exaggeration. asians r a tiny portion of the pop. but form large numbers of uni students. if asians were unwanted, they would not be let in at the rates they are.

that meal must have cost about 1k dollars XD

[KatiushaVN4]

That guy, Chang, is such an annoying

[shalom1948hellyeah]

@KatiushaVN4 yeah he's definitely a hipster.

unfortunately he's also one of the most famous and influential chefs in New York city.

check out his review of bourbons for Jimmy Fallon. he's drunk the entire time.

[londonemski]

Wow! Next time I'm in NY I'm going here! We've got a big Korean community in London and lots of great eating places - mostly populated by Korean people - but nothing like this!

"there is no cruelty issue here, its dead, its just too dumb to know its dead." LLOLL

[afterapplepicking]

lol. They're high off their asses. "Oh man this is so good." "It's amazing, man. It's awesome."

[pwnsauce8]

which episode of no reservations is this?

I've never seen it and I was quite sure I watched them all..

[causewaycrank]

@pwnsauce8 New York outer boroughs. season 6 ep 9.

[pwnsauce8]

@causewaycrank

much appreciated



[Helikaon9]

i love Korean food and sushi, so i was surprised that i really don't like sashimi :\

[ji94552]

@Helikaon9 You're not alone. I love both Japanese and Korean foods but I want my meat and fish cooked. I just can't get the texture issue.

[theonlypreciousyang]

ughs... and here I am , in lonely cold ass MN... I have never life outside of my shelter life... My adventurous side is itching to come out..

[MrNo1sman]

tony:your suffering is worth it my friend lol!!!

[sjmian]

this isn't the way Koreans would serve this up. Basically it is American "YOU HAVE TO PREPARE IT THIS WAY" mentality. Most all eateries you cook it yourself/or not.

[goshadowkenny]

Ooh, that huge platter of seafood!! WANT! I'd be fine without the live octopus though.

[kdg5636]

dude what the fuck i cannot find any place like that in philadelphia! living octopuses? i though i could never even see it in america. where the hell is that ny?

[djstrype]

@kdg5636 Sik Gaek has 2 locations in Queens NY. One in Flushing, where this episode was filmed, and the other is in Woodside. I have done a couple of Time Lapse videos at this place , check my youtube page for them .... fun place.

[mende75]

where can I find a place like this in LA?

[amsd1231]

@mende75 wait... you are talking about LA right? Just walk outside and look, LA has the biggest Korea town.

[OfDaHeeZy84]

Everytime when I go back to the Philippines I eat seafood like crazy lol

[OfDaHeeZy84]

I miss eating some good sea snails. I love Korean food

[Prissi20]

@OfDaHeeZy84 I miss sea snails too! :D first time eating it as one of apetizer selects. Feel gross at first but went with it anyway.... My sister couldn't bear to look at me...., but I love it right away

[armsock]
