[coltonvanessa]

His food description are a million times more insightful than any other food vloggers out there. No generic "oh wow" or "that melts in your mouth" with this guy.

[outkhazted]

Lucas is gold. His passion for food and process is authentic and infectious.

[bangkokcowboy]

really respect lucas for calling him a "master" ... thats who these chefs really are but people rarely say that just because they're not in some white table top fine dining setting ♥️

[JaeLee]

This guy manages to describe the cooking equipment, ingredients, and taste all with the same enthusiasm.

[JesusLovesCoffee]

When he said “Stupid” under his breath it was at that point that I knew it was amazing! I also call things stupid when they are beautiful.
Lucas is a modern day Alton Brown

Thanks BA.... Here's the freaking Location! Somsak Claypot Crab branch1 @Charoen Rat 1 - 2 Charoen Rat Rd, Khlong Ton Sai, Khlong San, Bangkok 10600, Thailand

[SniperShot]

Can confirm, Somsak Crab is the real deal. Sooo much flavour in the dish. For those who don't want to sit on the street, they also have another store a block away in an actual sit-down and more importantly air-conditioned restaurant.

Lucas literally drooling out of his mouth as he's describing the science behind cooling the crab glass noodles. Me too. 🤣🤣

[Anespian]

Lucas explanation on the cooking process and taste got me salivating and got me more appreciative of the chef cooking and the dish. Havenly. Cant wait to check out this unassuming stall when i go Bangkok

[harutran]

The chef did absolutely amazing managing, inspecting and cooking all the ingredients!! His internal clock for cooking everything to perfection while being meticulous leaves me in awe

[Vablonsky]

Evocative, intelligent, insightful, educational, and infectious. Brilliant commentary...as so many have mentioned already. And, it's such a simple dish too. Which makes what Lucas says all the more impressive. This dish is one I love to eat. Although I eat it with shrimp mostly and not crab.

[hannestawarz]

I am so envious of Lucas getting to visit all these incredible vendors

[BruceMarley]

Lucas is an excellent communicator. Masterful storytelling and extremely knowledgeable.

[cpp]

So informative and expressive; love Lucas's passion toward food! More please.

[Smegmaalpha]

His ability to narrate is the best I’ve seen since David Attenborough.

[ropro]

I love watching Lucas nerd out like this. 😄 More, please. ❤

[Absurd]

love Lucas. he's so knowledgable about cooking. I can listen to him talk about cooking forever!

[noblepursuits]

BA and Food52 better keep up the Lucas content because he’s the only reason to watch their videos.

[maricahuxtable]

Lucas!! His passion for food is infectious! Wish he had his own show!!

[brian]

Lucas is the real deal. Real knowledge and real passion.
