+Pelin Keskin No problem, I appreciate a host who's open to foods from other backgrounds and not just cause its trending! I hope to see you in more shows like this!
Love that my Lao people is representing our food and the culture! We dont get too much notice from the outside world and the outside people! Time for Lao people to shine and grind!
I was very fortunate to have Laotian friends settle in the small town in Iowa where I grew up. The food and the people are absolutely incredible!! I have since moved away from my town and it's always fun when I go to a local Asian market and buy all of the items most non-asian people have no idea to buy. Many times, the store owners will ask me how I know what to buy, I say I have many Laotian friends growing up and they always smile.
We first refuged in Thailand and ended up residing in Kansas back in 84. My siblings and parents connected with a generous and helpful Lao family at our first place called home in a apartment that we lived at. Small world that he’s from there as well! Wichita still has a decent Vietnamese community there too!
Laotian food is amazing stuff! My mom is Laotian and she came here to the US in 1994 after living right on the border of Laos and Thailand for most of her entire life. Hope to see more videos on Laotian food in the future!
That’s so crazy, so many lao people migrating to different parts of the world. I have family in France I’ve never met! My family came after the war in 1979. Been in America ever since!
i rarely comment on youtube videos, but I'm so pleasantly surprised by Eater as a channel and by the host herself I just had to! Great job on everything, from the exploration of typically unrecognised cultures, the production and also the great skills of the host. Keep them coming lads & lassies, love from Glasgow, Scotland 😊
Eater Kids were made dishes that aren't spicy along with spicy food. I remember rolling up sticky rice and eating it with shredded pork and having soup on the side.
Thank you for this video. I know it may seem like a simple thank you but this truly means a lot to the Lao community. Most of the time, Laos is shrouded over and basically unheard of. It's nice to see a video with quality content about my culture.
I was really excited to see this video! When I was in Laos the food was fantastic, and exceptionally spicy, but I haven't been able to find a true Laotian restaurant in Chicago. The search continues!
@@pisathongsonlone3935 I don’t think a lot of Lao people out there, might be some, but probably not a big enough community. I know there is a lot of Cambodians out there though, I have many friends there.
im currently in new zealand and i love lao food but not many people know what even laos is but when i bring some of my friends over and they have a bite of laos food the love it hahahaha
I just came across this channel and it's great! Not only are you exploring dishes often left in backdrop; like Laotian food, but the hosts are also all great! Nick is super descriptive and passionate Lucas knows every god-damn language out there and goes to great places worth visiting & Pelin is super likable and informative!! Great Job Eater!
I love this channel but all I see is focus on Japanese omakase series which is really boring - not all love Japanese food. Honestly the thought of eating raw is fish beyond my cup of tea. Now this is something refreshing with this wonderful host making it 10 times better. Please increase the length of the show.
The misunderstandings surrounding laotian food reminds me of the king of the hill episode where they meet their new neighbours. "So you, Chinese?" "No, Lao." "So...you Chinese?"
Not sure if you will see this, but here goes. We live in Phitsanulok Thailand and eat lots of Lao food. I'm married to an Esaan girl for 30 years. She says "she is Lao"! We have 2 sons and a grandson now. Her Father was from Laos and Mother from Cambodia. I hope you're doing well in such trying times.
I'm sorry but I just cringe when people, especially Lao, say "Lay-Ocean." We are called Lao or "Kone Lao" if you want be super accurate. Aside from that this has to be by FAR the absolute best Lao restaurant I've ever seen. I'm really impressed. I am also happy to see that we are slowly but surely and respectfully separating from our neighbor named Thai. Lao and Thai can be a family but that doesn't mean we (Lao people) can't have our own success and identity.
Great job Eater! This new series and its host is fantastic. And right on the heels of Dining on a Dime too! Pelin and Lucas would make an AMAZING show together - but then the internet would probably implode from the awesome. Also, I do not know the context of the statement, but you can hear that lovely old mother murmur "My God, I love you!" at around 3:40. I'd like to think it as a reaction to a person (and a crew) being kind, funny, and respectful to a culture and a family. Keep pumping out the great content you guys! Much love from the Philippines.
Laotian food much more spicy then Thai food. Also they have a darker flavor than Thai. I prefer Laos food over Thai for these reasons. However the both regions of food cross each other so you will find many similar dishes but just with some different additional ingredients.
I love ba banh (his mom). I grew up with them.I paid attention to the food and traditional way its made. Ai Phet could you please show me around New York if I go?
Have to try this place out! This will definitely fill my craving for hmong food since NYC has no hmong restaurants! :) this is going to be the closest!
If you guys ever visit Orlando FL go check out sticky rice. I highly recommend it. One of my fave spots there. I’m from Tulsa, OK. When I’m in nyc I’ll check this spot out myself and get some white strings tied too hopefully lol.

So glad Laos food being represented here. Authentically
It looks like Lao food is going to be the next big food trend. I'm looking forward to trying it.
Man not only is this host beautiful she's very respectful!
+1235f Man, thank you!
+Pelin Keskin 👍👍👍👍
+Pelin Keskin No problem, I appreciate a host who's open to foods from other backgrounds and not just cause its trending! I hope to see you in more shows like this!
She's also much braver than I am, going for that fish eye.
I have so much respect for her! I'm Laos & even I won't eat the eye ball lol
Love that my Lao people is representing our food and the culture! We dont get too much notice from the outside world and the outside people! Time for Lao people to shine and grind!
The host of this segment is amazingly beautiful and personable. The Laotian food brought back memories, I had Laotian best friends growing up
+Mr Persianality thank you so much!
Doodool Tallah Me 2, that bang bang and tripe 😊 where the party at. Every weekend when I was in army.

Please let her host more episodes!!!! I love her

You guys have one of the best hosts : Lucas and Pelin all did a wonderful job. Definitely need to continue do more series with them.
Homegirl is a pretty good host. Very well balanced. Professional yet casual.
Love to see my country's food represented so well and making a name for itself!
yeah omg this host is perfect I love her she's great very respectful unlike other people.I've seen on UA-cam
+jquellen thank you!
Laotian food is amazing stuff! My mom is Laotian and she came here to the US in 1994 after living right on the border of Laos and Thailand for most of her entire life. Hope to see more videos on Laotian food in the future!
My mum came to England from Laos around that same time, where about in Laos is she from?

Agree. Great job!

my bestfriend is lao and i would always come over to eat. i love sticky rice, ka poon and the lao sausage!
a big spread of food, eating with your hands, and lots of shots of alcohol? all of that sounds awesome, I think I was Laotian in a previous life.
We need more laos restaurants in the states..."authentic "
Self Rule they all over North America lol
Like this video, share it, make it known :)
Love Lao food! Proud to be half Lao!
Thank you Eater for sharing all food cultures. Please do more!
I was really excited to see this video! When I was in Laos the food was fantastic, and exceptionally spicy, but I haven't been able to find a true Laotian restaurant in Chicago. The search continues!
Is there any kon lao in Chicago? Im Laotian and a chef and been thinking about moving to chicago and open up an authentic lao restaurant
@@pisathongsonlone3935 I don’t think a lot of Lao people out there, might be some, but probably not a big enough community. I know there is a lot of Cambodians out there though, I have many friends there.
I'll take everything!!!! Proud to be Lao!
essence of how true Laotians are, glad that it really captured the real food and traditions. putting us on the map with the hennessy!
Traveling to NYC with my gf + her family (all laotian) and will definitely try to bring them to Khe-Yo! Thanks for sharing the video.
+Ben Hebert The food was amazing! Thanks for watching!

+echoesinla Thanks for watching, glad you're enjoying our content!
Great job, love it...I am Lao and proud of this episode...Love Lao foods !!!
+Goud Phonethong Thanks for watching!
It's not a true Laotian party without a bottle of Hen co-starring!
Bangkok Fatty duh that's at every Laotian Party and if an elderly offers a shot you can't say no unless you're really young
Cant forget the remmy..
This man speaks the truth lol
every lao party doesn't matter if it's a wedding or a sporting event there's alway a bottle
Heineken 🍻
Always look forward to Fridays to see a new video of this!!
Oh my days! Just been to Laos, it was the best
This video was a great representation of Laos food!
I love this channel but all I see is focus on Japanese omakase series which is really boring - not all love Japanese food. Honestly the thought of eating raw is fish beyond my cup of tea. Now this is something refreshing
with this wonderful host making it 10 times better. Please increase the length of the show.
i hv family in Wichita Ks.. happy to see my ppls on youtube n making there business dream come true. Happy Lao New Years..
Love this series! Keep up the good work Eater!
The misunderstandings surrounding laotian food reminds me of the king of the hill episode where they meet their new neighbours.
"So you, Chinese?"
"No, Lao."
"So...you Chinese?"
they seem like really nice people and all that food looked amazing!!! :O
New Eater video, gotta watch fast! I can't wait for every of your videos. Keep up the awesome work with all the great hosts! :-)
+Alex Legare (Dawgyson) thank you!
I love this host. Very adorable.
Great episode! This host is great! Definitely one of my favorite channels.
+Antoine Thank you!
Another great video. Love the host!
+Lemons agreed!
the reason that make the video awesome is absolutely the host.
Diğer videolarını dört gözle bekliyoruz Pelin :)
These are the real stuff we eat at home.
Love the host, she’s also very beautiful! Need more of her. Also, Lao food is always bomb! Thanks for putting Lao food on the map.
Not sure if you will see this, but here goes. We live in Phitsanulok Thailand and eat lots of Lao food.

We have 2 sons and a grandson now. Her Father was from Laos and Mother from Cambodia.
I hope you're doing well in such trying times.
With out any doubt esan and lao is the same people .
Just so beautiful! Gorgeous colours of food and delicious

Lao and Thai can be a family but that doesn't mean we (Lao people) can't have our own success and identity.
It don’t help when Isaan folks representing ethnic Lao food as Thai though, so that is where most of the confusion lies to outsiders.
Next time I'm in NY, I'm there, great watch and a cuisine/menu (even if it conceptualised) I'm really enthused about, can't wait to try.
+Spoongasm It has been one of our crews' favorite meals in the city this year. Thanks for watching!
Its nice to see the culture spread and it would've been great if you tried jaew maclin...tum muk hoong...and tom kem
omg the mother is cute. her son is nice
ok now i have two favorite hosts in Eater, Lucas & Pelin
Brought a smile to my face.
i love this host!!!! more!!!

Food looks delicious. Yummy.
nice. thank you for showing what lao food is all about.
I like all of Eater's videos that do not involve Nick Solares.
LAO Is LAO food. Love LAO food 🇱🇦👍
"Sometime, when you have friend over, you get shot" @5:09
Made me chuckle.
love this cannot wait to try this place!
Lao food. ..drool.
Lol omg Lao/Hmong food is always delicious!!! Sticky rice ftw!
ky09 Thai food, Hmong food, Cambodia food is Lao food original.
@@peakarach7051 there's no such things as hmong cuisine. Hmong just claimed everything is hmong foods.
Demand Pelin Keskin and Lucas co-host in this channel forever!!!
What a hospitable atmosphere, and lovely host! 😀
i love his mom 😀
she's really good!
it seems that she's very familiar with Asian culture already.
Finally Lao foooooddddd on the map
i love this series!
+ThisisJokyl989 thank you so much for watching!
He is so handsome. Love Laotian food
Wow, what a great video :)

Teia Koi Thai food is Lao food original.
I love and follow Eater and i reaaaally like the choice of this presenter and the food
Glad you love Lao food

Witchita, sounds like a pretty cool town. :)
Yasss where all my Khon Lao at✌

Eater, I love your channel! And your hosts are amazing, your videos are so informative and high quality ;)
Have to try this place out! This will definitely fill my craving for hmong food since NYC has no hmong restaurants! :) this is going to be the closest!
Hmong food is essentially watered down Lao, Viet and Thai food though, so no missing out if you go to any of those other ethnic restaurants.
I need to find Laotian food in Bandung aaahhh looks so goooddd
