  • Bao, or steamed buns, are a delicious meal that consists of your choice of meat sitting on a white, soft, cloud, also known as the bun. They are popular all across New York City, which is why on this episode of 5 Buck Lunch, we sent Prez on a mission to find the best ones under $5.

    Four episodes in less than two weeks feels like Thrillist is dumping this series.

    I think you gotta add a fourth category. Like fullness or value for size. I'm glad you're turning me on to some good place but every episode be like "this place so awesome, $5 all I needed, every point on point, success". Some places, just because they're delicious doesn't make it a good "lunch"

    Baohaus is awesome! Their plate specials are great along with the Bao. Eddie and Evan Huang are a genius with food!

    This host is the man. It's so easy for you (behind the computer) to say otherwise, but the character fits. Turn a camera on and let's watch you do a better job. If this isn't for you, then watch food groups or anything else

  • @ideal2334

    you should try a cooking segment the bun if home made would be 10 cents or less if bought 20 cents toppings 50 cents or less and the protein would be 1$ or less

    hey! big fan, first time commenter. if you haven't already, do Percy's pizza on bleecker. now, one might think that dollar slices joints are all the same. this is not true. Percy's is not a dollar slice joint, it's a pizza place that just so happens to sell slices for a dollar. Quality mozzarella, fine sauce and dough that is far better than expected make this a slice that is not only good for a dollar, but better than most $2-4 slices in the city. The slices are slightly smaller than an average NY slice, but you can get three of them for the cost of most slices in the area. Percy's is cheap because it's no frills - not a ton of room, nothing fancy about it and the menu starts and ends with slices - no stromboli, calzones, pasta, jamaican patties - just pizza. This is the only dollar slice i have ever craved, instead of just buying out of necessity when i'm starving and broke.

    Something about this host. And also. $5 baos? I guess being full isn't one of the requirements.

      I was thinking the same thing, and I'm not even from uptown. Perhaps they're just trying to slow the tide of gentrification?

    Literally none of this stuff exist here in the SouthWest. But I bet y'all can't get fried okra in NYC…

    • @Dheal
      @Dheal 6 років тому +2

      You should never bet on any type of food not being available in NYC. I know at least 5 places where you can get fried okra. I bet there is more.

      Think you have to try hard in order to distract the audience from the fact that you really can't get a $5 buck lunch, at least I wouldn't call a 2 bite bao "lunch". Solution, double the budget or have no budget, it restricts creativity
