      Same. I speak intermediate Cantonese, and I want to learn more advanced Cantonese language and culture, so I personally found it really educational that they had the written Canto. The ways to improve my Cantonese further from my current level are not always obvious

    Guys, I love the show I’m a brown guy who grew up in Vancouver with all my Hong Kong friends. I love coming to Chinatown in New York, and speaking Cantonese and everybody looks at me strange! His food brings back such great memories. Fast forward 35 years and my son now speaks Mandarin because the immigration to Canada is from China not Hong Kong now. You should see us order in both Cantonese and mandarin in a restaurant. It’s quite a big laugh, We are always offered a discount or free soup because we are speaking Chinese lol We love your show and we love you bringing back memories of Vancouver and Hong Kong and China for us.

    My family ran a restaurant and I would always watch dad cut apart 4 boxes of shoulder butts by himself. Seeing someone else do it, brings back all those memories and more awe for my dad. My mom would take those shoulder bones, often without dad knowing (lol), and make our pho with it.

    I find it so wonderful that Lucas points to his body when he is trying to describe where a cut of meat is from. I have been doing the same for years, but a lot of people look at me like I'm crazy--admittedly, especially when I am trying to describe a tuna collar or hake kokotxas. But seriously, vertebrates share similarities!!

    Lucas is a phenomenal host and unbelievably talented. My love for Chinese/American food goes back 50 years, and as a chef in hotels, I was lucky enough to be trained in Chinese/American. Trained by my staff which made me competent enough to run big scale buffet and hotel restaurants. I wish I could have traveled and learned in country to indulge my passion for this food and culture. For me, Lucas represents what I would have liked to attain in my knowledge of Chinese/American cooking and further. Thank you for your hard work and passion.

A back rib really is from up higher (closer to the spine), what Danny described in just a shortened spare rib 😕

It is not cheap but you can see the quality of meats at this place no other Chinese markets has.

    If I had to say what my favourite cut of pork is, I'd have to say it'd be that flat bit that's sandwiched between fat and the bigger muscle on pork shoulder.
    It might actually be the same cut you talk about in the shop.
    I only know it because I save it for my own use whenever I break down a shoulder joint. It has that "crunch" you describe and I love it steamed dim sum black bean style.
