Glad Lucas is making videos again. These videos are even higher quality with LA Times. He really lets the interviewee shine

Chef was, and is, a very handsome man! I loved their conversation...Chef repeating what Lucas says, but then confirming/correcting or elaborating. It had a really nice flow. The fact that he wanted to go to the studio before the restaurant was a nice look at where his passion lies. (86!!!! Wow!)

I was disappointed to find out Lucas left Eater but if there's gonna be more content like this he made the right decision.
