California, here we come! We love your epic scenery and the glamor of Hollywood, but this time, we’re here for the food.

"Good food is good food. It doesn't matter if I'm American or if I'm Chinese"

You go love! I love eating good food. I don't care what it is. I will try anything once. If I don't like it, it is all on me.

RIP Ms. Cecilia Chiang. A legend and inspiration to all

There is a great Chinese restaurant in a Davis, CA gas station (also a Chevron). The staff is amazing, they treated us like we were family. I bet there are many places like this across the state.

6:30 "Yo what's up Cuh", "you know me, just cooking some art in my kitchen", "you make a new song?' "no, I mean literally cooking something in my kitchen"

So glad to see that All Flavor no grease is doing so well. I remember he had a stand on the sidewalk. Good for him!! Keep doing what you're doing!!

I gotta agree with the old lady at the end. Good food is good food.

Also, why does everyone think it's strange when you mix certain things together? It's like people fear new flavors. When I go to Mexican restaurants I mix the jamaica with the limonada and they always look crazy and ask "are you sure???". It's basically a Mexican Arnold Palmer and it's tasty af, you'll love it.

The last thing melt my heart. About the food and the person. The way she smile and explains where her career had started. ❤❤

Honestly though, I actually enjoyed watching Trap Kitchen’s part, that is a hell of a lot of passion!!! Honestly it feels so good to see some sort of camaraderie among rap culture. And I normally associate rap culture with rather the opposite, but this puts a smile on my face to see them doing something that matters and is useful is so satisfying!

Haha the editing of this video reminds me of a Wes Anderson movie. Especially the part where they introduce the staff.

Our halo-halo is the best... in the west (hehe).

I highly recommend the Stinking Rose in San Francisco they have a lot of garlic based cuisine there. They’re roasted garlic is incredible.

Man, I think they are trying to make us jealous of California's food

I'm proud to report that after these years, Lilian's had expanded into at least three new locations! It's an SFV legend!
