California Living with LASA: Chef's Night Out
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Chad and Chase Valencia, the brothers behind LA Chinatown's LASA, a modern Filipino-American restaurant, cook food inspired by their childhood and their experience of growing up in California. Whether it's taking a classic dish like sinigang, a traditional Filipino stew, and swapping out the tamarind for rhubarb, the dishes at LASA honor the tradition of Filipino cuisine while embracing new techniques and approaches.
Chad and Chase recently opened their first brick and mortar location in Los Angeles, so they have a lot to celebrate on their Chef's Night Out. The brothers head out with their Front of House Manager (and Chase's fiance), Stephanie, Chad's Wife, Paola, and Sous Chef, Nico de Leon.
They begin their night at Melody Lounge in Chinatown for a few beers, whiskey, and a mezcal cocktail. After some drinks, it's time for a Cuban feast at Silver Lake's El Cochinito filled with Ropa Vieja, Plantanos Maduros, Pollo Empanizado, Albondigas, and Key Lime Flan. What do you want after a super filling meal? Fried chicken, of course. The crew heads to Monterey Park's Tokyo Fried Chicken for sake, fried chicken, and bonbons for the road. For a nightcap, it's tequila and burgers at Everson Royce Bar in Downtown LA. The night ends at LASA for late night Pancit, a gigantic vat of Gyūdon-style beef, and rosé.

It's been so goddamn long since the last one I feel, fucking hype! I always watch this while eating to make my food taste better...
My food always taste better with food vlogs lol
Cruxal we must be twins. And it has been so long! Why is this show not being made enough>!!! and or more!! i need to speak with someone at Vice!!!
This restaurant is history in the making. Seriously. Every Asian cuisine has had its shining moment except for Filipino. I think this will be the spot that'll finally put our food on the pedestal. Now, I don't know these cats but I'm super proud of them and what they do. I wish I could experience this first hand. Maybe in the future...
100nujabes philipino food sucks
I got to eat at LASA. One of the best burgers I ever had. All the plates we ordered Were great!
Being born in Hospital in Los Angeles but actually living at different city after my mom had me, if feels like I was destined to work the line there. I did make the drive out to LASA with my dad after seeing it on a PBS broadcast here in the inland empire though. The infused bagoong butter was a next level concept I was impressed by.
"you got rice or what??"
"right here dude!"
whaaaa
That was an awesome episode! They really had a nice crew and family.
Glab to be back with an episode. This series is one of the best in Munchies
I'm glab too
Chefs night out is gold
Good to read that the homies are bouncing somewhat back with Lasita. Watching this series one year after Covid shut down the restaurant industry is rough.
Shout out mndsng
This really is the epitome if good LA food.
Been wanting to go to Lasa for what feels like a couple years now ever since first hearing about it but things haven't worked out. Hopeully get to check it out soon because it looks incredible from obviously the food but also to the awesome staff and ownership.
This was love in one episode

Can't be a chef's night out without some tweezer shots.
8:50 nice choice of soundtrack! :D
Do people still use "bomb" as a compliment....honest question ...really
Ajit Agoram normies do
Are you that bad at interpreting context clues....honest question ...really
yes, mostly californians lol. I guess it's now okay since there hasn't been any major bombing and guns (especially ar-15s) are the recent the weapon of choice of terrorists
Yeah only the cool kids

Totally not scripted.
Modern Filipino Fushion!

A little too chill, they could have gone a little harder
7:15 isn't that lady from a buzzfeed episode
nice sesh
Tequila Ocho is where it's at. Good move.
I live down the street from Tokyo Fried Chicken and was super disappointed when I tried it.
Anyone else notice they used that one shot twice? Forget to record enough B-Roll?
Yo did I just peep mndsgn looool
1:03 it's MNDSGN!
do think these guys have written a playbook, everything seems so articial
What a bunch of drips.

Rhubarb for sinigang ain’t cutting it. You either use a tamarind base or go with unripe bayabas(guava).
Lmfao, I live in Tokyo, and the only fried chicken that looks like that here is from KFC...
