Had a really eye opening conversation with the Chefs towards the end- was debating whether to shorten that section but decided that it’s something people should hear especially in today’s social climate. Lemme know what y’all think! EDIT: also uploaded this video @ like 1:30 am lol next time I’ll do a THOROUGH spell check 😅
I've really been enjoying this series with Chef Quie and Chef Charles. I'd love to see the tables turned a bit and have them take you to some of their favourite restaurants as well
As a Black man with a diverse peer group I have been exposed to food from many countries and cultures. It is great to broaden one’s horizons and try differs things. As chef said, you don’t know what you don’t know. Is better to try and not be put off by how something looks. If unsure, or do not have a friends to expose, ask questions. I always try chef recommendations on any menu.
Next step is to try some soul food and learn more about where those foods come from. There are many similarities in Asian and African American culture.
Like, you I've been very a very fortunate Black Canadian to be exposed to so many different culinary traditions. I thank my mother's sense of adventure for this. The very first restaurant meal we had in Canada back in the 80s was Japanese.
I been in the restaurant industry for 20+ years, and I don't know if that's why, but everything Chef Q is saying around the 20-21 min mark absolutely hits with me. Working hard despite your situation, or better yet, because of your situation, is a mentality, a way of looking at the world. Some people were taught that worldview, and some people weren't. Those that weren't taught that tend to, as our noble host said, play the victim card. That too is a mentality and a way of looking at the world. GREAT EP!!!!!
The conversation toward the end was so beautiful it almost brought me to tears. Bless these three for being such calm and understanding people. I hope everyone eventually can have such a positive mindset after being through so much.
Now imagine the fusion kitchen this kind of collaboration. SOUTH LOUISIANA STYLE HOTPOT! I get goosebumps out of this kind of thing. Mixing two, wildly different kitchens in a communal meal style. Gets me goin' does.
I noticed a lot of textural comments made and its very interesting as I feel like in the West we do prefer and find textures that are crispy, crunchy or flakey more desirable whereas in Asian cuisine, soft, chewy and gelatinous textures are something more accustomed to. Great to see such openness from the chefs and great conversation at the end!
It's not that Asian cuisine prefers chewy over crunchy etc. It's more of that the Chinese cuisine has a much wider range for textures. People also seek different textured food and have their own preferences, and texture is a very big part of the food. That's why there are some items here that has no taste, but interesting textures like the tripe or goose intestine.
Asian cuisine has a lot of crunchy foods too: youtiao, taiwanese fried chicken (more crispy than western fried chicken), peking duck, shrimp crackers, tempura, potstickers, fried pork chops, katsu, etc.
I love taking new people to Hot Pot! I usually make a few sauce combinations for them so they can gauge what they like and what they don't like, cuz the sauce makes for a good amount of the experience! This is so wholesome!
I can’t believe you guys really did it! So coooool, Hot pot is more than food, people can work together to cook hot pot and have a good time to share and talk.
Love this trio❤ love love love the chef eating with his hands(makes me hungry,he makes food look delicious😋) this needs to be a series with multiple seasons,genuinely enjoying this❤
I absolutely love the cross cultural vibe you bring to these. It's great to heat different aspects to the same things. There are some universal aspects in cooking (noodles, fried foods, marination) that apply to almost every culture. Hotpot is somewhat unique, yet at the same time strangely universal in that there is a tradition of quick cooking foods to an extent. It's amazing always to see people get an understanding and grasp of other viewpoints.
Thank you for sharing the chefs' sense of their neighborhood. It is so terrible that people being shot daily is "normal." Loved the hot pot learning experience.
I've said it before, but I think there's a lot of overlap between Asian foods and southern cooking. Specifically Korean, but Hot Pot has a lot of similarities with some soul food or cajun cooking where you stretch your ingredients with a flavorful broth.
You are truly a blessed and awesome person. In todays world with more bad new then anyone wants to hear, you are an angel with a sword of happiness with food and bringing culture together. I hope you prevail for the rest of your life.
Bro I’m about to binge watch all these videos. My transmission is cracked and I do uber so I’m kinda stuck for a few days until a new one comes in. Thanks these are great videos
I just had beef beef hotpot Chiuchow style yesterday at Shenzhen and is unreal. Freshly slaughtered beef every day and prepared to us freshly cut into up to 8 different parts. It does not get the fattiness of US prime nor Wagyu but the delicate beef flavour is insane! The whole meal costs100USD which more amply fed 8 people.
I really do love these two and the new relationship you guys have built up. Would love to see Charles and Quie show YOU guys some new things if theyd like
Thanks for sharing about how the Bronx hasn’t changed… I tried to turned my eyes away and stopped listening to convinced myself that it can’t be true. You can’t fix it until you know there’s pain that needs healing.
as a chinese myself, i love japan but hearing ur grandfathers story about what they did, it is very cruel to hear. You guys were on point with how the future generations will be more forgiving but the cruel history that you mentioned pretty much made me remember what theyve done in the past. Ofc no grudges but something not to forget and hopefully not to be stored within the heart
Unfortunately even today the young generation of Japanese have been taught not to respect China, and that Japan should take over China like it once did. Notice that almost every Japanese person you met never showed any gratitude to China for what it did for Japan for over a thousand years, teaching the Japanese almost everything in their traditional culture including language, writing, clothing, housing, architecture, art, food and even religion.
Hate the perpetrators, but not the children. Not to mention their entire culture has changed. Imperial japan is dead. But it is also good to remember not to get caught in propoganda, like what mainland china did in 2011. I knew some of my familiy that didn't care about Japan suddenly talked about japan invading. They are honestly that susceptible, even though they basically don't live there.
My grandfather had a love and hate relationship with the Japanese. He lost some of his brothers to the Japanese when he was a kid, but had nothing but respect to the Japanese for being able to rebuild from a war torn country to a global powerhouse in such a short period. He even gave his blessings if I were to pursue a Japanese Girlfriend.
abalone is delicious! and idk about the octopus being weird lol its just an octopus. pork blood is also good when grilled with a semi sweet glaze. its used in Filipino "dinuguan" dish, which is one of my favorites.
Wondering if the octopus was overcooked. Done right it can be tender with a slight crunch. Same with the abalone, you need to slam it on a hard surface to tenderize it before cooking. With either the window to keep them tender is really small, it can be perfect then 30 seconds later they become shoe leather.
I love that you talked about past struggles with Asians and black people. It's a sad world, and the world is still the same there's a handful of genocides going on as we speak
One thing i always wanted places that have sauce counter to have is small disposable spoons where you can taste abit of the sauce before making your own. Every hotpot/shabu places i go their peanut,sesame etc sauce taste different. I think it can also avoid alot of sauce wastage where people just kept making one after another.
Even most Chinese who often eat hotpot don't know this, here's the real way to make your sauce: You don't! That's right, you don't make sauce, the real way is to have some tiny sauce dishes in front of you, each with only one ingredient in it, every time you eat something you put on the exact ingredients you want for that particular thing. This is also the way to eat sushi. Never mix all ingredients into just one sauce.
Depends on which part of the north too eh? Maybe not as much in the interior parts but Dalian, Huludao, Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, and Qingdao definitely do drown themselves in seafood all day every day. I worked in Dalian 20 years ago and damn do they eat a lot of great seafood. Cheap too. Grilled at an indoor seawater swimming pool resort while old people are playing mahjong in their banana hammocks. lol. (大连彦年海水游泳馆, it's since closed, but there's other newer ones with better facilities that have opened up)
Chinese HotPot is yum but I prefer mild myself lol. Abalone is soooo good we have that black meat abalone here in New Zealand we call it Paua we eat it either raw, fried like a steak, minced(grounded) with diced onion pan fried in butter & cream aka pāua cream, sliced n fried, or minced & made into a fritter & used in a burger.
You know dude has no idea of hotpot when he put any intestines in the non-spicy side. Btw Northern Chinese people do eat abalone! Dalian, where most of the abalone of China come from, is in the North.
Great vid just needed some salt for the meat lol when ever I do hot pot or shabu Shabu I get a small bowl of salt to sprinkle on the meat after it’s cooked
Abalone is more of a symbolism for prosperity gold nugget, eaten during Chinese New Years, but these days like Shark Fin very few Chinese eat it, only the wealthy ones or extremely special occasions. Most Restaurants serve immittation Shark fin soup and abalone. Personally I have no cravings for abalones, tried it a few times before it tastes like Meat with mushroom texture lol (like a chewy portobello or the cooked soaked dried chinese mushrooms)

“I’ve never seen so many things I’ve never seen before “ 😂
Best quote ever.
caught me off guard haha
That's a quote for history
That conversation at the end was good for the soul. I appreciated it.

SOUTH LOUISIANA STYLE HOTPOT! I get goosebumps out of this kind of thing. Mixing two, wildly different kitchens in a communal meal style. Gets me goin' does.
Id like to see french hotpot
Sounds like a crawfish boil with extra steps
you guys in Louisiana do hotpot all the time... you just tend to use a different flavored broth. 😅
anything is possible!
Louisiana food sounds amazing.

This is how the world will come together, eating food and sharing culture.
One of my favorite things is to see a sense of friendship, understanding and appreciation between different groups of people. This is great.
Thank you for sharing the chefs' sense of their neighborhood. It is so terrible that people being shot daily is "normal." Loved the hot pot learning experience.
The collab is one of the best!
i'd tear up every single thing that they were served in this video. man that looks so good.
the door of forgiveness is the only way to bridge the gap of racism. hate on hate only breeds hate and gives birth to new racism.
Chef Quie and Chef Charles are polar opposites in personality but the amount of care and passion they both have is palpable

Chef Quie and Chef Charles are so wholesome to watch.
Bro, you gotta take them to the Haidilao hotpot experience at one point. Have them experience the noodle dance and everything :)
I don't like hot pot personally, but glad to see these guys love it! I think hotpot is a great gateway into Chinese food.
NO BAD BOIU
So you dont boil anything at home then? It’s basically the same thing xD
@@NaeniaNightingale I only boil vegetables. Why boil when you can fry?
The hand you get is one thing how you play it is another respect chef

This whole time I thought hot pot was a Korean meal, so cool to know the origin!
Had my first HotPot experience last year and i swear it given me something to live for.
Love both chefs! They always look like they are having a great time.
I really do love these two and the new relationship you guys have built up. Would love to see Charles and Quie show YOU guys some new things if theyd like

U can show the to add some of the soup to the sauce bowl, dilutes the flavor a bit but also retains the soup flavor into the sauces

Imagine if they try the hotpot broth after all the meat they put inside the hotpot!
Hot pot is the best comfort food for winter!
I love a good hotpot. I don’t get to enjoy it with lots of people often but my nephews and I love doing hotpot at home.
I like the conversations
not sure if ya'll touched on the wang lao ji before but I imagine chefs loved it. IMHO it's like sweet tea but better
love these chefs hope you can show them more and more asian food！
seeing these food makes me hungry even if im eating rn 😭

Japanese hot pot is called nabe (鍋). The big difference is most nabe soup stock is seafood/konbu based.
Love these guys!!
With the octopus, sous vide or braised then grilled over charcoal 🤤
first time seeing someone actually eat hot pot with their hands omfg
Chef charles did that ❤and kuddos to these chefs
I loooooove hotpot. I can never date or marry someone who doesnt like hot pot haha i go to a hotpot restaurant so often especially during winter.
I love hot pot. If it wasn't for food reviewers I wouldn't have known about a lot of the foods I have tried over the years
I love that you talked about past struggles with Asians and black people. It's a sad world, and the world is still the same there's a handful of genocides going on as we speak
these videos are amazing!!
Hotpot is so popular that even tropical SEA countries, it’s so popular! 😂
This is why I like when black people try new food… they’re nervous and honest 😂
