Identity struggles. Seriously, has there ever been a more 1st world problem? Take a tour round a field hospital in Yemen right now then tell me you are struggling. Give your head a wobble you egocentric, broken rung on the evolutionary ladder.
Ah yes! This is the best thing First We Feast has produced in years! The chemistry is so natural, the video is subdued not just people screaming at each other like Pizza Wars, the food is beautifully presented and you get the explanation of what it is succinctly as well as some memories of eating it. If anyone knows any channels similar to this, let me know!
Korean street food is extraordinarily unique. It's cool these chefs are giving us a tour of the whole marketplace. Usually there's a lot more variety when touring the whole area.
That’s quite an exaggeration. It isn’t unique, you can find this in any asian countries and the food are mostly a mix of different asian street/traditional foods, nothing original.
Pretty sure they were there to promote “Iron Chef” for Netflix & filmed this while there, because Kristen has been filming “Restaurants at the End of the World” for Nat Geo.
I love that they went to Korea and showed us around Korean street food, but I felt like they gave us the bare minimum! They could have done a 1 hr show with various eats there! Or even other street foods in other places. There's so much to see and eat there and this was barely touching the surface! Made me sad. This video could have been more. So much more! I loved Esther's energy and love for Korean food!
i have always appreciated the asian american representation from first we feast. and in this video, there are two asian adoptees. aside from documentaries about being adopted, this is honestly the first time i've ever had two adoptees on my screen at the same time. that means so much; thank you!
I remember seeing Kristen Kish on Top Chef years ago (she was my top pick and I think she won too?). Cool to see her again after all these years. Korea's street food is phenomenal.
Used to lived in Seoul, and have tried all of these things in that market. South Korean streetfood is amazing. Though I have to say- though the Netflix ladies handcut noodles were amazing, the mandu were just on par with the Bibigo frozen mandu you get in Korean grocery stores. But that's more of a compliment to how good the frozen mandu are there. 😂
It's pretty sad these street food vendors are disappearing. They come and go, even in every country. I would like to go to these markets, and try out the food.
This is making me very "homesick" since I was stationed in Korea twice. The food, the people are always so humble and nice to us. I try to love American Korean restaurants but it never compares to Daegu or the community surrounding Osan AB. Love this! Thank you
I came across the Korean culture during lockdown and I'm now a huge fan of the culture. I'm definitely going to Korea and checking out these food markets is top of the To Do list. Great video but super short - please make a super long video or a whole series 👍
As a Korean living in the states I love watching videos of the korean food markets! :D My favorites are hoddeok and also the rice flour donuts (찹쌀도넛). The donuts are fried but they are light and fluffy and covered in sugar! Its something you should eat right away and fresh from the markets :)
I'm not Korean, but I love trying all types of food. Recently I bit the bullet and made my own hoddeok. It's so good! Worth it and they are not even that much of a pain to make.
It did not help having a part time street fighter model walking around with his jacket as a cape. Esther could have carried the whole broadcast. That being said, hadouken. Much love. I think I am just jealous.
Just like to say street markets are not all gone or disappearing. Many has been covered with the clear roof so it's lot more hospitable during all weathers. Each city/town has at least one street markets with many fun activities such as night food market where cart vendors come out with different food you can try.
Which Korean street food would you be most excited to try?
I want some fish cake
Cringe af
That guy is fine af 😀
All of it 👁👄👁
Auntie Esther
Haiyaa auntie Esther didn’t invite me 😢
She's gonna eat all the MSG herself, haiyaaaa
Uncle Roger- you need to do a show in Seoul.
👹
😂😂
😂
Esther wasn't just on Iron Chef. She made it to the _finals_ of Iron Chef.
Her food is amazing
According to Asian standards, reaching the finals is not enough, it’s disappointment lol.
She’s an amazing chef. Love her style
She won the 10th season 🎉
Really close to winning
As adoptees, and knowing some of their identity struggles, I love seeing Kevin and Kristen experiencing this together!😊 🇰🇷 🇺🇲
no wonder they didn't have asian last names
Me too, adopted back in 1973 by Irish Americans.

hi
you can tell how excited Esther is to introduce her friends too this stuff. this is exactly my energy when I took my american friends there hahaha
No nigel?
@@minmb82 Well these are actual chefs.
@@sneer0101 Nigel is a chef too (in the end everybody that cooks themselfs is a chef ;) )
@@Timberjagi themselves*
@@simonsaid3333 I'm sorry, i speak 6 different languages so a typo is easily made.
So nice to see Kristen enjoying Korean food in Korea.
Esther is blowing up in the foodie world!
And that "She wants to get tipped" double entendre had me laughing 😂
Korean street food is extraordinarily unique. It's cool these chefs are giving us a tour of the whole marketplace. Usually there's a lot more variety when touring the whole area.
Yeah, we all know there is more ;)
That’s quite an exaggeration. It isn’t unique, you can find this in any asian countries and the food are mostly a mix of different asian street/traditional foods, nothing original.
@@mei42na Italy has these as well.
This channel has come so far. Now sending celebrity chefs to Korea. Love the new content!

I was thinking the same thing
YUP they missed so many iconic dishes
Would be a total waste if that's all they did.
Many people say Gwangjang market become touristy and low quality. Maybe they should have visited more local street food markets.
Auntie Esther’s tour of Korean street food was dope
Sending love and support to Kristen on her first time in Korea! Good food and happy company!
I remember her talking about this on Top Chef! I'm so glad her dream to go to Korea came true.
i have always appreciated the asian american representation from first we feast. and in this video, there are two asian adoptees. aside from documentaries about being adopted, this is honestly the first time i've ever had two adoptees on my screen at the same time. that means so much; thank you!
Everything looks so fresh and made with love. I want to visit one day 🥹❤️
I loved Esther on this, she was so passionate and happy to share this with Kristen & Kevin
You are right! Really had fun watching!
Where are you from Monica ?
Man... this is bringing back so many memories of being a US Army soldier stationed in Korea from 1997 to 1999. The food was so awesome!
I'm kinda jealous... how where the girls?
Cuz I have a total Asian Female fetish!
myself being a boring white EU male...
Love love love this! Definitely could have watched them for an entire hour+! Love their energy and love of food together!!
You can't go wrong with Esther and Kristen!
Esther was amazing on iron chef, yall should watch it and bask in her awesomeness
Kevin dressing like he just saw Tokyo Drift 😂
I remember seeing Kristen Kish on Top Chef years ago (she was my top pick and I think she won too?). Cool to see her again after all these years. Korea's street food is phenomenal.
I love chef esther anywhere. But she just shines here.
I wish this video kept going for 30+ minutes.
Esther is so good at sharing her knowledge and I wanted to keep seeing new dishes in the market.
Used to lived in Seoul, and have tried all of these things in that market. South Korean streetfood is amazing.
Though I have to say- though the Netflix ladies handcut noodles were amazing, the mandu were just on par with the Bibigo frozen mandu you get in Korean grocery stores. But that's more of a compliment to how good the frozen mandu are there. 😂
These 3 need to do a food show/travel show :D Love theire energy, great video.
Would watch these three explore Korean food for a whole series!!
Kristen Kish AND Esther Choi?!?!?! I love it already.... Gwangjang market is awesome!!
What a magnificent video! Loved it! Cheers! 🎉
It's pretty sad these street food vendors are disappearing. They come and go, even in every country. I would like to go to these markets, and try out the food.
Three Korean-Ams (2 adoptees) in Korea enjoying awesome Korean food. I wish I was there friend.
Auntie esther❤❤
People just casually complementing each other all around. That's awesome. ❤️
This is making me very "homesick" since I was stationed in Korea twice. The food, the people are always so humble and nice to us. I try to love American Korean restaurants but it never compares to Daegu or the community surrounding Osan AB. Love this! Thank you
Me too! Seoul, Osan, Kunsan, Pusan/Busan and Taegu/Daegu all had amazing food, people and the best shopping.
lol, Daegu is terrible. I feel like you can walk across the whole city in 2 hours. And, the summer is sooooo hot.
I love this video!! We need more from these three it’s a great mix of people and their knowledge of Korean food - plus I loooove Esther 🥰
Great video ! I really had fun watching!
Beautiful scenery, lastly Korean got great recipient. Where are you from?
ahhh love seeing Kevin on Bling Empire and even more in a First We Feast Korean street food market vid!!
Wow! I love this episode! These 3 are so awesome! I can’t wait to see them together again soon.
Well, this was wholesome and lovely. Esther is a fantastic guide! More of these 3 please!
Everything looks so mouth watering🤤
What I loved about Seoul's street food is it was in full swing late into the night on weekends and was tasty.
Kristin ssi! I’m so happy I came across this video! I had always hope to be able to see your first experiences in Korea. So happy for you too!
Nice to see Auntie Esther on here
Love Kristen and the 3 together are great. They need their own channel.
I came across the Korean culture during lockdown and I'm now a huge fan of the culture. I'm definitely going to Korea and checking out these food markets is top of the To Do list. Great video but super short - please make a super long video or a whole series 👍
Always good to see Chef Esther and Chef Kristen. Also surprised that Kevin had a shirt on the entire time.
A Korean here. They did an amazing job trying and describing Korean street food accurately. Great job! 😊😀🤤
Need to see uncle roger in the comments talking about Esther.
This made me wanna go back to Korea so much!!!! Thank you so much for taking us there!!! ❤❤
As a Korean living in the states I love watching videos of the korean food markets! :D My favorites are hoddeok and also the rice flour donuts (찹쌀도넛). The donuts are fried but they are light and fluffy and covered in sugar! Its something you should eat right away and fresh from the markets :)
I'm not Korean, but I love trying all types of food. Recently I bit the bullet and made my own hoddeok. It's so good! Worth it and they are not even that much of a pain to make.
Need a series on more Korean street foods and basically all of SE Asia.
Kristen: sophisticated comments about the texture of nokdujeon
Kevin: this tastes better than a hash brown 😂😂
His reaction to the dry radish I'm like "this guy needs to be on hot ones"
this made me smile thank you guys!! loving the understanding of kfood
So fun! Makes wanna go to that market and try everything. Please make these videos longer !
My heart skips a beat whenever I see Kristen.
Love Esther's energy always
I can listen to Auntie Esther all day long and never get tired
So happy you got to visit your homeland Chef Kish
Kevin is such a natural, so lovable. No chop sticks, no problem-that's survival eating!
AUNTIE ESTHER! Had no idea she was on Iron Chef.
I love that Auntie Ester tells the truth and is honest.
Auntie Esther 😍😍
Fuiiiiooooohhh
Only watched this because of auntie esther!!! Fell in love with her character watching her with uncle roger.
I dont know why I half expected uncle Roger to be in the comment section just throwing shade at Kevin for hugging "auntie" Esther
yeah Roger ain't got nothing on Kevin XD
Why that guy have that jacket just to carry it around? Haiyya
Great segment! I love the interactions with the vendors.
kristen and esther in one vid! thats a lot of skill right there
The new Iron Chef is cheesy af, but Kristen was dope on it.
Homeboy is wearing his jacket like a cape
I love to see Kevin here in a different way! Ha ha ha ha 😜☺️☺️ The Bling Empire character is so cool!!
Haiyah! Uncle Roger isn't gonna be happy seeing Aunty Esther with Nephew Kevin! 😂
Wow Esther that is some amazing food. Look forward to more of your videos!
The video was brilliant.☺
I’d like to see more of these three doing food review shows. Esther has a natural tv presence in my opinion.
Auntie Esther 🧡😃👌🏾🔥
Loved this so much! We need more from them
Wow amazing quality 🤩 thanks for the effort you put in this video really enjoyed watching 👍
love how ya'll dove deep in such relatively brief amount of time. got to go back to seoul!
Oh wow, I just now started season 4 of bling empire. Nice to see Kevin out there!
Auntie Esther!! ❤️
You guys are making me hungry 😋
This would have been the perfect opportunity for Uncle Roger and Auntie Esther to have a fake date skit. That would have been funny.
Bro Esther is like the Korean Gordon Ramsay
Cool to see these chefs reconnect with their heritage. Great video.
It did not help having a part time street fighter model walking around with his jacket as a cape. Esther could have carried the whole broadcast. That being said, hadouken. Much love. I think I am just jealous.
I loved Korean street food when I was stationed there
They need to do more episodes so we can see ALL the food at that market.
"She wants to get tipped" Esther's a savage 😂
We were here for our honeymoon! This is giving us nostalgia!
I want this to be a whole series please
Esther is an awesome host! Love to see her host more like when she collabs with uncle roger!
This group has something special, watched a lot of Fwf and this is must watch. Much better than pizza and burgers imo!
Would love to see more of Kristen Kish
This was awesome. I can’t wait to visit Korea one day
Everything made me drool! Also love this trio ❤ will there be more Collabs?
Uncle Roger needs to step his game up if Esther is having out with buff TV stars. Time to hit the weights uncle!
That bite into the spicy seasoned crabs...I'm salivating...help!
Love this collab!!!
Love watching videos like these! It makes me happy. I see myself doing exactly the same thing whenever i go to foodmarkets 😊
Ester was on iron chef to win, so good, one of the best contenders
