    I went to Neta a few months back after seeing a special on munchies and had one of the best meals of my life. The freshness lingered in my mouth long after I left the restaurant which was a new sensation in dining out for me! I actually approached Nick Kim after and said I saw him on munchies and he was embarrassed a bit which I found very funnny! Cant wait to try the new spot!

    picking herbs on the side of the freeway in places you normally shouldn't is the most Asian thing.

    • @TheShelbyiskool
      @TheShelbyiskool 9 лет назад +3

      Henry Kook kinda similar to that JK news article where the oriental restaurant chef was recorded slamming slabs of meat on the concrete to soften it up and it was later used for dinner.

    • @marcusortiz6678
      @marcusortiz6678 9 лет назад +13

      Nah thats just these guys, but really just because these guys pick up herbs off the sidewalk (or whatever) your calling that an asian thing. bruh, this proves you know nothing about asians unless your an asian and you pick up herbs on a sidewalk...

      +101publicenemy isn't raw fish bad for you?

    • @101publicenemy
      @101publicenemy 9 лет назад

      Lance Gallo Properly treated raw fish (as in straight out of the ocean not some dirty lake) in small quantities is actually extremely good for you. The Japanese diet of fish is why they have the highest life expectancies in the world. However like i said you should only eat small amounts as if you eat a lot, and i mean it takes a lot of raw fish, then theres a risk of mercury poisoning-but you would have to be eating really large quantities of fish for that to be an issue.

    I remember having an omakase lunch at Yasuda in New York by myself. Everyone else at the sush bar was chatting and just popping this perfect sushi into their mouths, dipping the already seasoned pieces into soy sauce and not really paying attention, while I was just rapturously savouring each piece in heaven. I so wish that I could afford to have sushi like that (and visit New York) more often; it was unbelievably skillfully made and delicious. The gorgeously molded pieces, slightly warmed by the hand and golden from the glaze. Fresh wasabi. The amazing rice and freshness of the fish were so good. A very worthwhile luxurious treat. I also loved that the chef noticed my appreciation and looked every time I ate a piece that was presented in front of me. One day, Shuko!

    Another Great Episode. I really never though about how uneducated I am until i started watching the Munchies videos. I really need to step up my education game and live more. I am missing out on so much culture and good times. The good thing is, it's not to late. Now I want some Sushi as always.
