Nyesha crushes it in these.. Even though she's an experienced chef, she plays the part of the person who wants to learn. Awesome host

[FADI_TINY]

Nyesha is a very good host. About time Eater gives us someone of quality that know what they are talking about and it’s not forced verbage!!! Please give us more of her.

First time here. This lady has a great vibe. She clearly is trained but I love how she is so humble when given the opportunity to work side by side with the staff.

The volume of steaks ordered each day in this place is mind boggling. Without actually eating one of these, I'll go out on a limb and say I'd prefer mine sous vide and then finished under that frickin' blow torch of a broiler!

Probably my favorite host from any of this genre of youtube food show. Let the subjects of the show explain things while not slowing them down at all by being inexperienced, and at certain times her experience just helped her put into words something the chef was unable to or helped lead them down the right path to explain the subject more clearly. Helps the people on the show behave more naturally, and really lets the food and process shine.

I love the way they let the restaurant tell the story. There’s no fillers by the host making a script. She has exprience in the kitchen and she made it look she’s been working there for a decade. Amazing storytelling. Nice change from food we feast style.

[jeraldvincentzumel]

You can tell this woman enjoyed the whole experience. He reactions are so genuine, like a kid in a toy store or something. I like the vibe of this host.

What an amazing reporter, she is an absolutely force of energy and keeps this entire bit alive.

[rolandkennedy]

Love how she ask the perfect question and keeps the spotlight on the chefs and the restaurants. She should do a seminar on journalism

[huyyang]

I love how Nyesha is always willing to learn and shows her respects towards all employees.

[fromnaras]

I this host, she’s so good at active listening and understanding chefs! The follow up questions she asks and the way she carries herself makes it so that people are so comfortable and we as the audience and get to learn from her experience

[uwcb]

She is easily the best host I’ve seen on your shows! Please have her do more.

[jdpst]

My favorite steakhouse of all time! I've been there several times and every time I go to NYC I make a reservation at PL. My wife and I even had our wedding reception there where we had about 50 people in the top floor to ourselves! It was a phenomenal experience.

[TheNyster]

Nyesha Arrington is one of the most well renowned chefs in America! I loved her in Next Level Chef!

[mertraphael]

Nyesha is great. Whenever I see other hosts that are corny or ask cliche questions, it really makes her look like a true professional.

[mikegeha]

I love how she really knows what she is doing somewhat. Gets right in there, can handle a knife well, and has a positive disposition all around. It lifts the video. Cheers!

[gamesandtings]

Nyesha is really brilliant - fun, respectful, informative. Great job!

[jeanclaude]

Finally a serious in depth representation of how these marquee steakhouses operate. Thank you

[JoneThePwn]

I really like how respectful she is and how much she seems to enjoy being there. Lots of good vibes. Wish I could try that steak!

[markceyzek]

Love this, !you can see her smiling, and enjoying the time she spent in the line and know the stake process

[shandala]

She’s a rockstar, and seems to genuinely appreciate the efforts of others.
