What's funny is that Pad Thai isn't even really Thai. It's a Chinese dish that was promoted by a military strongman to promote an alternative to rice. I wish they would have made a snakehead dish, great fish
@Leon Leo in europe every food is more authentic. It's because americans are not too adventurous with food so you start getting all those american versions because the restaurants have to adapt. Even coffee is sugary in the US. Also when I was there I couldn't find proper chocolate. :D
Also I noticed in the grocery store you could never buy the cheapest option because it was always something that was crazy fake. Like cheapest bread was this sugary bleached white bread that had a very long shelf life. Cheapest cheese is this plasticcy square cheese which im okay in cheap hamburgers but nowhere else. :D so you had to be careful not to buy crap. Usa should have more regulations because children shouldn't eat things like that.
@@henkkaa88 the reason why america doesnt really have "authentic food", other than stuff like barbeque, is because unless you look at Native American cuisine, there is no real American food, as the country was started by European immigrants. Southern food is inspired by peasant food, and stuff like cajun is a mix of french and native cuisine. Also, yes we have a ton of cheap food, but there is also a ton of good food if you go to places like farmers markets or specialty stores. Only people who cannot afford much or are ignorant to proper nutrition eat garbage. Chocolate wise, cheap chocolate like Hersheys isn't something we even eat all the time, it's mostly when you feel nostalgic or want to make some s'mores. I'm not trying to say your entirely wrong, but I think you should put more research into American cuisine before making a comment on a place you've only visited and done little research on.
I LOVE this series. Andy is inquisitive without being condescending. He's knowledgeable and doesn't talk over the experts. He's down to try anything without making faces at food he's unfamiliar with. So many other people who hosts shows like this fall into those faults but Andy is a wonderful host that you can tell is really interested and respectful towards the food and the experts which is, sadly, enormously refreshing. I hope this series goes on for a long time, I learn so much and enjoy it a lot.
I APPRECIATE HOW ACCURATE, CONSIDERATE AND WELL-THOUGHT OUT THIS DESCRIPTION IS (I do apologize for shouting but I got genuinely excited reading your comment)
Yes. It’s that he’s specially NOT condescending which is 👌🏼! I feel like he could easily given his expertise and confidence, but he keeps a humbleness and respectfulness, while still having his sass.
"Andy Makes/Explores ______ Food" has quickly grown to be my favorite series on this channel lately. I love everyone's stuff, but I find myself rewatching almost all of these with friends/family and thinking about the food a lot.
mottsap It’s probably my least favorite. I’d like it so much more without Andy. I don’t know, something about him rubs me the wrong way. I can barely make it through these.
I love it too! It's learning about cultural food norms in other countries, but also cool that it can all be eaten in New York! I am studying Geography in school, and it is amazing to continue learning along with Andy throughout his experiences!
Just one time: Chris makes something fermented. Brad tries Gourmet Makes. Claire does mystery treasure hunt. Molly learns how to cook an international cuisine. Andy tries to blindly reverse engineer a dish. Delany explores every way to cook a food. Amiel instructs a guest through a dish back-to-back. Carla tries one of everything on the menu at a restaurant. Bon Appétit starts branding all these series with official names. Rhoda marries me.
As much as the episode itself is fascinating, Andy is charming as ever and his hosts are lovely too... I can't help but find myself admiring that dude's funky hat
What's that? A hat? Crazy, funky, junky hat Overslept, hair unsightly Trying to look like Keira Knightley We've been there, we've done that We see right through your funky hat
Actually, in the past of Thailand, women tends to have more experience in kitchen than men as she have to cook for their husband, children, and probably parents-in-law as they have to move to their husband’s house. It’s not surprising that women can be owners/managers of the restaurant because they know what to buy, what to do, and what to serve.
ศัลย์ สหกิจรุ่งเรือง But the thing with a patriarchal society especially in the west is that when a man cooks, he’s an artist, but when a woman cooks, it’s her duty. So female chefs and restaurant owners are only starting to get as much credit as their male colleagues.
The part where he tastes the individual ingredients is my favorite part. I would never think of tasting fish sauce by itself and he tries all the things.
Imagine if Andy goes to the middle East, travel to the east through India, Nepal, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos or even Malyasia and Bangladesh. He will become more of a monster of a chef.
when amiel ate the eggplant he mentioned it being "almost a little nightshade-y" it instantly reminded me of the fact that eggplants are, indeed, members of the nightshade family
I would watch this type of show as an entire series. Love the 'meet an expert' feeling and the authentic passion Andy has for this type of cuisine. Please make more videos in this style with other hosts. Simple and well done.
Yessss Isan region!!! I lived in Mahasarakham when I was in college for like 3 months. LOVEDDDD the food. Love the people. Love the country. This video makes my soul happy.
Andy, you are the best student I have ever seen. Respectful, honest, curious, observant. Clearly speaking your questions, emotions, immediately yet nicely, so that your teachers do not have to guess. I understand Thai cooking better, Andy, all because you're an excellent student!!
I’m Lao-American and watching this video made me so happy! Growing up, my mom made these type of dishes for us. Very nostalgic. If you love soop nor mai, you definitely have to try gang nor mai!
Andy's ability to draw details out of the chefs with good questions is fantastic. One minor wish: I would like the "this is the restaurant/menu/kitchen" introduction was done at about half the speed it currently is.
ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST test Kitchen epoisode. This is where ANDY SHINES. Most of the other chefs get on my nerves. He’s easy on the eyes, fun, friendly, relatable, passionate, calming, not annoying, knowledgeable and curious WITHOUT BEING A KNOW IT ALL LIKE MANY OF HIS COWORKERS. This format of exploring restaurants around the cities should be explored more I feel!!
Im falling in love with this show. Bon Appetit has done a great job exploring world cuisines in just a few episodes. Andy is a great host too. This is top quality, but everything in Bon Appetit is. Wow! Great!
Andy! Can you please try learning how to cook Indonesian food? Indonesian food is so incredibly diverse by the region. Especially try cooking Balinese, Lombok, Manado or Padang food as these are some of the spiciest food you will have ever tasted.
Love how ready Andy is to learn, seeing how Thai people cook and mix and match flavors was so fascinating! I think that Japanese or Korean food would be really cool!
ahh its so lovely to see my country's food being appreciated and especially the isan region since thats where my mother grew up before my dad brought her to the states
I worked in a thai restaurant about 3 years ago. It was so fun being there and I rmb one day the chefs did an Isan cuisine lunch for the staff. It was the eye opening for me, the first time I ever had Isan food. It was so spicy, sour and the sticky rice was a great counter with the dishes. I also miss the days of eating the eggplant with a shrimp paste, chili & fish sauce dip. So lovely.
I'm thai and live in the south, my mom has 2 types of mortars and use is regularly; a stone one for making thai chilli paste that we eat with fresh or blanched vegetables, and a wood one for making som tum which she made it quite a lot like 2-3 times a week because we love it so much.
My absolute favorite show of BA!! Love seeing Andy in kitchens he’s not fully comfortable in, and being so sensitive to different cultures “laws” of food. Please keep me coming!!!!
29:40 hands down favorite part of the episode cuz the food-geek-out over not being able to identify what it tastes like and gets others involved! Relatable. 😍
But that was after he put too much force while cutting the fired chicken dropping it on the floor. He looks strong but the key is getting the pressure right.
As a Thai teenager with Isan heritage myself, who grew up with these dishes and was taught these cooking techniques, it's very interesting to see Andy's reactions to it and see how he breaks down each flavour profile and technique. Since I was taught these methods and combinations of ingredients (though they do vary in different regions and households) because it works & is traditional, I find that Andy's kind of analysis gives me more insight to why these ingredients are put together & why things are done in certain ways. Like, I never knew why we add ice to chicken but now it makes sense! 🐔
Thai food is amazing, we have a Thai lady friend who used to be a chef in a 5 star Thai restaurant cook us yet famous dishes sometimes and I love Thai food so much. 😍
There is an amazing Thai place by my house that makes a handful of "chinese" dishes, one of which is sesame chicken. But I always wondered why the texture and breading on it was so unqiue... seeing this video it all makes so much sense.
For those who don’t know, you can find these dishes and type of food in Lao restaurants. Issan is basically lao people and culture mixed with thai because it used to be part of Lao kingdom way back.

Yessss. One of my favourite cuisines in the entire world. 😍 These episodes are always entertaining and informative. Thank you, Andy! Fantastic choice. 👍🏻
I love that the representative Thai dishes aren’t things like pad thai or thai fried rice, super informative about this region’s food and technique
You know our boy Andy wouldn't do us dirty like that.
What's funny is that Pad Thai isn't even really Thai. It's a Chinese dish that was promoted by a military strongman to promote an alternative to rice.

As a Thai-American person, this video made me feel really visible and represented authentically for the first time ever.

Miko K finally a thai who’s well spoken and classy and an authentic thai food
Sameeee
Andy is so knowledgeable to begin with and like he is so interested to learn as well. It’s amazing

So good BA came around Thai food
As much as the episode itself is fascinating, Andy is charming as ever and his hosts are lovely too... I can't help but find myself admiring that dude's funky hat
What's that? A hat?
Crazy, funky, junky hat
Overslept, hair unsightly
Trying to look like Keira Knightley
We've been there, we've done that
We see right through your funky hat
@@jules6335 are you ok? Or is this just a thing i dont know
Raukura Cave definitely a thing you don’t know
@@lujanes6598 it sounds familiar but i just cant place it lol.
Raukura Cave wizards of waverly place, selena and her best friend in the show used to sing it
He said “whats this right now” the boy said “uhh water” 😂😂
Andy: "so just regular white sugar?"
Chef: "uhh... This is salt"
Wourder...oh wrong chef😂
thai representation is sooo rare on big food channels!!! so happy to see this. we appreciate it!
2:57
Supanee: "This is pickled garlic"
*Brad Leone has entered the chat*
The crab and fish paste (pha ra) also quite famous fermented food here. I'd love to see Brad try to make it in his style.
Next time...
BA After Dark: Andy's Month in Thailand
Oh now I can't stop imagining things :(
Is that their PornHub account?
I'd bet money he went to a full moon party, a month is a specific amount of time and we've all seen Andy bust some dirty dance moves.
Find Andy getting gawked at in Silom soi 4
i feel like it was a month long bender
Love that Andy lived in a warehouse in Brooklyn. Also, Andy has very precise descriptions of what he's tasting, I really enjoy it!
Eli Cohen He will do well if they ever switch things up and Andy gets assigned with Reverse Engineering.
When he snorted the chili powder I died why would you put powdered chili under your nose and inhale
drug habits i guess

@high horse Nice to represent people in ways you don't commonly see, to show more interesting and different content.
So bizzare not only hearing, but also seeing Amiel chew at the same time!! Didn't know that was possible
Gina He really does chew like he does in those videos. I wonder if he’s munching on something as he’s recording the voiceover.
@@k_ph99 he said he does, but pics or didnt happen holds true too
Wdym? Did I miss something?
@@athmaid Amiel ADRs his videos and he usually makes chewing sounds.
as a southeast asian, though not thai, i appreciate how thorough the video was!!!
Seeing a new BA video has been posted is literally the best thing ever
Last week and this week there has been one every (week) day. One of those days had two.
Amiel with a noseful of chilli: "I'm getting like, almost spicy!?"
I low key imagine Andy living in a small-ish apartment with every surface, kook and cranny filled with pestle and mortars
Julian Gatt and he sits directly in the center on a wooden stool with a lamp over his head as he admires his collection.
Have you seen his Into the Gloss feature? He was sitting in front of like, a wall lined with pestle and mortars on shelves 😂
The part where he tastes the individual ingredients is my favorite part. I would never think of tasting fish sauce by itself and he tries all the things.
That's my favorite part. His descriptions are so helpful.
The girls go to Italy. You best send Andy to Asia dammit.
Imagine if Andy goes to the middle East, travel to the east through India, Nepal, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos or even Malyasia and Bangladesh. He will become more of a monster of a chef.
when amiel ate the eggplant he mentioned it being "almost a little nightshade-y" it instantly reminded me of the fact that eggplants are, indeed, members of the nightshade family
In summary, Andy gives distraught looks to the camera as Chef Jim performs an amazing feat of cooking
So Andy is pulling a Jim on Jim🤔
He's so humble never talks about how skilled he is when in another chefs kitchen
I would watch this type of show as an entire series. Love the 'meet an expert' feeling and the authentic passion Andy has for this type of cuisine. Please make more videos in this style with other hosts. Simple and well done.
Oh, it was a mistake to watch this right before I go to the Asian grocery store. Now the list of stuff I want to buy just tripled in size.
Lucky you! You have Asian grocery store within walking distance. Envy you big time
Lucky what kind of Asian groceries did you get?
Andy’s side eyes always crack me up 😆

My bf is Persian too and he gives side eyes alll the time. His father too. Maybe a persian thing?

But that was after he put too much force while cutting the fired chicken dropping it on the floor. He looks strong but the key is getting the pressure right.

For those who don’t know, you can find these dishes and type of food in Lao restaurants. Issan is basically lao people and culture mixed with thai because it used to be part of Lao kingdom way back.
I am not trying to start a political debate, just saying, if you like the food and want more of it, you will find it in lao restaurants if Issan is no where to be found!
Nothing political here!
Laos and Isan used to be the same Kingdom known as Lan Chang.
But in the colonization era, French took Lan Chang on the other side of Mekong river and it becomes Laos nowadays.
And why not on the other side too? I'm not expert but what I know is that's because King Rama V trade Laos to save the main land.
The Thai chef is so confident with his bottle pop and hat. His food looks amazinggg
Yessss. One of my favourite cuisines in the entire world. 😍 These episodes are always entertaining and informative. Thank you, Andy! Fantastic choice. 👍🏻
Supanee looked and spoke like she did not want to be there LOL! I can't wait to go eat all of this food in NY. Thanks, Andy!
Amiel rolling his eyes back to sneeze I'm dead
I love how Andy comes across. This episode inspires me to visit Thailand one of these days...
A bon appetit video and not one use of the word umami? Never thought I'd see the day.
I wonder how
Especially with so much fish sauce around, lol
I still don't understand what it means
These restaurants must get such a big business boost after being featured on BA. I am 100% going to this place now
