This is awesome, Mike! I am from China, and the lamb kebab is called “羊肉串” back home。It's an awesome street fare after dark， better served with cold beer. We cook this backyard BBQ all summer.
I met a woman online and traveled to China to meet her while there I had some of the best food I have ever tasted and now watch your show here on YT, I love the way you present yourself and the food you try or cook, many of them I try to make my self, one thing I am looking forward to is the tea eggs, if you are ever in Texas look me up and we will go find some good food here also or I will cook you some Crappie which is the best fish you can ever eat, and maybe you can recommend some ideas for cooking it also, keep up the good work I still have many episodes to catch up on !!!
So, I subscribed to your channel! Both your personalities are natural and great on screen. Great content! Really enjoy your videos! Here in SA there are not really many of these stands to choose from, but, I find great Chinese take out restaurants! :-D
I am so psyched you guys are doing this, there is so much in Queens that nobody is covering. I didn't get to Uncle Zhou's yet but I'm definitely going. Now I have a second place. Mike and Dan - Queens culinary experts!! Love this!
I shouldn't have ignored the warning. About to go to sleep now and I was hungry already. XD But it looks good! Skewers with meat are quite common where I live, but this good.. I wonder if you can even find it o.O You probably can, I just don't know where yet.. (I hope) But really nice vid =D
Just had dinner (Yay for Chinese broccoli, pork, and shrimp!) and now I'm hungry again...... Wish we have good places in NC, there's not really a lot of good Asian places in Greensboro.
HHHHHH LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!! The thing is crazily popular in China.. The Chinese BBQ genre gets reallllllly extended a lot in China u could so many different types of Chinese BBQ!!! I'm going to NYC to try this!!!
The Chinese character chuan4 串 looks like a kebab or a skewer, food on a stick, ( 串烧 ) The Japanese word for those is kushiage 串揚げ (Japanese being my "stronger suit")
Great video as always! Please show us the best Dim Sum place in NYC and what to order, I would love to try but have no idea what to do give us some guidance pleeeease :^)
one of my favorite ,i remember when i was young my city use to have a whole street is all about the lamb kebab ,so good so good!! just ordered the grill and the skewers .. so i can enjoy it soon !!!!!
This was entertaining for reasons of tasty looking food and nostalgia. Chicken gizzards! Oh, I love me some chicken gizzards. You can't make proper dressing to go with a roasted chicken or turkey without dicing up the organ meat and throwing it all in a pan with butter and a crapload of diced up onion and celery first. Gizzards might have an odd bit of crunch, but they're delicious. I moved across the country, and now I'm glad we're planning to move back to the midwest because the grocery store meat here is ever so tame. They have better fish, but nothing adventurous. I never did get up the nerve to actually try a pickled pig's foot from the jar sitting atop the meat counter, and I very much miss being able to get cheap pickled herring as well as lots of chicken gizzards for literally about a dollar a pound. So inexpensive. It might be considered the leftover bits that no one wants....but that just means more delicious crunchy gizzards for me, at a crazy good price. Also I just noticed you posted this video on my birthday three years ago! About a month after I moved to Michigan from Nebraska.
Disappointed w/ Dan about the gizzards. I loved gizzards before I knew they were gizzards (and my parents called it chicken kidneys when I asked them what it was...probably because they didn't know what the english translation was). If you like the taste and texture of a food, there's really no other excuse to not like it (maybe smell,but that doesn't apply to gizzard lol). Mike should learn to give Dan things to try w/o telling him what it is first...Oh that can be a new show series! "Dan's blindfold taste test" or something XD Get him out of his comfort zone!
MIKE!!!! I saw you on a TV commercial for "Cutthroat Kitchen"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited to see you when you're on the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you won!!!!!!!
Almost three years in the US, had my first lamb skewer in Flushing. As a former professional BBQer (I used to run a BBQ stand when I was in TW), I am going to try every single BBQ stand in NY. Muahahaha!
WOW DUDE I JUST FOUND OUT THAT YOU LIVE HERE! I LIVE HERE ALSO AND I LOVE THE CART, but this was 1 year ago so idk if you still live here please reply!
RIght?! Gizzard is amazing, it's like the part everyone fights for when we have a good chicken soup! Most of the time the elders give it to the younger ones as if it was some kind of tresure of the chicken.
"Organs are meat" "No..they're not" hahahahaha. Nice vid. Street BBQ is something I eat 5 times a week. I literally just ran out for some sour Thai sausages. I live in Thailand though so BBQ is everywhere I go. Love it.
Chinese BBQ is amazing. I had some in Shanghai like 2 weeks ago and I was just like, "This place is AWESOME." It was pretty cheap too, 60 yuan a person for an all you can eat.
oh, I used to eat there very often it was so good.. until the owner changed and then it is not that good anymore. But later I found another much better Chinese BBQ in that area around Grand Ave~>w
Gizzards are a muscle-arrangement that surround the crop. When you see birds eat grit or small rocks, they're using the gizzard muscles to grind their food in the crop with the rocks/grit acting like teeth/impellers to grind-up the food. Best dark meat on a bird. There's very tough ligaments that don't break-down easily, but it is easy to eat the muscle and leave the ligament if you don't like it. When I fix gizzards, I trim the ligament off, and save it for chicken stock. Goes great with chicken-feet.
You guys should cover other types of Asian food. There is a Malaysian restaurant next to Hong Kong supermarket called Taste Good. Taste Good got the best Malaysian food in Elmhurst. If you guys go I can recommend a few dishes that you guys would like.
lol I was reading that warning saying to myself: pshhhh, I can handle some meat. I'll be fiiiine~ But nope. No, this was a bad thing for me to do, now I feel a need for skewers and it's 4AM. About your menus: I like the "boring and safe" food like Dan :P
Strictly Dumpling my mom often makes braised chicken gizzard/stomach/liver and it's delicious!! It's an aquired taste. I used to not like it but now I love it!
Strictly Dumpling Just my opinion but yup ^_^. If you have the chance, please stop by Brooklyn Chinatown (around 8th ave) and try them. They usually open around evening and have around 5-6 different stands.
I love chicken gizzards, hearts and livers of all kinds and beef tripe and I'm not Chinese ;). But not a fan of kidneys, lungs and brains. And Mike is right - gizzards are meat.
All of those items on the menu look great except the heart. I'm not a big fan of heart, but I'll eat it if I have it. And Dan! You're in JH? I just moved out of JH back to my childhood neighborhood LES.
lol, Mike is such a peer pressure foodie! "Try the gizzard, Dan. EAT IT NOW."
XD You two are really funny.
Haha. I fall in love with the look you eat the skewer! You really have a passion for it.
This is awesome, Mike!
I am from China, and the lamb kebab is called “羊肉串” back home。It's an awesome street fare after dark， better served with cold beer.

I love everything Mike likes to eat. Now I'm hungry.

great vid guys! keep it up! hope to hear about the bubble tea in NYC!
Oh man I love those, I agreed with you in most of the food you have mention from all videos mike
I only watch this show when I'm eating. Almost feel like I'm not all by myself having lonely meals. And also because it's a torture otherwise
Eva Nguyen SAME
Gizzards are the bomb....Dan needs to try them. Mike You and I share similar food tastes...pickled pigs feet are great! Ate them since I was a kid.
Dan is the Best! A man after my own tastes. No organs! But lamb is great, just too damn expensive down here.
Thanks for the video Mike
Rod

Just had dinner (Yay for Chinese broccoli, pork, and shrimp!) and now I'm hungry again...... Wish we have good places in NC, there's not really a lot of good Asian places in Greensboro.
I gotta get over to Elmhurst one of these days for this. Would order tripe, tendon and gizzards. LOVE those things.
I go there all the time and I think it's pretty good u make it sound like heaven
HHHHHH LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!! The thing is crazily popular in China.. The Chinese BBQ genre gets reallllllly extended a lot in China u could so many different types of Chinese BBQ!!! I'm going to NYC to try this!!!
I have got to try that stuff!
I just had to go order some Chinese food after this 😋😋
The Chinese character chuan4 串 looks like a kebab or a skewer, food on a stick, ( 串烧 )
The Japanese word for those is kushiage 串揚げ (Japanese being my "stronger suit")
Great video as always! Please show us the best Dim Sum place in NYC and what to order, I would love to try but have no idea what to do give us some guidance pleeeease :^)
Blandina Valerio will do!
Strictly Dumpling goto Ping's, it's in Elmhurst on Queens blvd
I'm with Dan. When it comes to food, I'm a total banana. Lol
I'm a mango
Your vid pushed me to try some 8ave brookkyn skewers. . Me and my girl got squid, lamb and fish balls. Very very tasty
Dave Ch Nice!
I really want to know where this place exactly is because I am from Xinjiang and I really miss this food. Thank you!
Linqing Xie there are located all around flushing but this one is on Broadway and Whitney in Elmhurst
Right across the street from U.S. Market. Near Kathay bank
Nice video! Mike, what's on your playlist (ear buds)?
Jason Pursley country music of course! You must be a country lover Jason, being from Tennessee
I love tendon! It's one of my fave things.
We need more ! They don't have those in San franisco :(
nope san fran is lacking in authentic chinese food
I love gizzards , yum , my GrandmotherI taught me it was a delicacy , they are awesome .
looks fking phenomenal!!!!,touch of mustard and i'll be rocking^^
I love going to that spot for bbq. I live 5 mins from the stand. When did you guys come?
monday :-)
7:54 Dan really must not like it if he shakes his head that many times haha.
he's a pooper
one of my favorite ,i remember when i was young my city use to have a whole street is all about the lamb kebab ,so good so good!!
just ordered the grill and the skewers .. so i can enjoy it soon !!!!!
My parents used to live in Flushing. Visited Elmhurst couple times.
I was hoping they would get hearts, my fav
The metal skewers with thin meat is the best.
I had it in wudang, hubei
i watch it on empty stomach i was dying
haha i always complain about price hikes like that too! xD
That gizzard looks *amazing*. Do they not do liver? Is it too soft and crumbly to skewer?
Do you have a dong po rou video? I haven't been able to find it if you do.
OMG I love gizzards!! Especially when it's deep fried and stir fried!
I should have listened to the warning, CURSE YOU MIKE!!!
This place is the best! It’s Andy Shish kebab! I miss NYC!

Hey Mike,
since u live in elmhurst, u should do a food review on Lao Bei Fang Restaurant, the best and famous take out restaurant in Elmhurst.
+Tenzin MN hmmm actually not a big fan of that place
+Strictly Dumpling why? I'm very curious haha
Oooooh I want to try the tendons! Yum!
reminds me of yakitori. Looks really delicious.
MIKE!!!! I saw you on a TV commercial for "Cutthroat Kitchen"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited to see you when you're on the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you won!!!!!!!
haha i dont think that was me, but appreciate the love :-)
Mike, nice choices and good judgement
Quentin Nguyen course :-)
I hv been living in New Zealand for 14 years and I miss Chinese bbq sooooo much because nz bbq doesn't come anywhere near haha
Yea meat on a stick with 2 spices really complicated. Nothing can beat that that's for sure.
Where in Elmhurst is the BBQ located at?
Almost three years in the US, had my first lamb skewer in Flushing. As a former professional BBQer (I used to run a BBQ stand when I was in TW), I am going to try every single BBQ stand in NY. Muahahaha!
WOH!!! You used to make these?!?!?! do you season it different?
Team Mike FTW!!
Even though I'm fasting, I love you guys too much not to watch. My time has come. The battle is probably lost.
hehe the sacrifices...
Chicken Butts are amazing but I've only had them in Vietnam.
Ahhh I go to that stand all the time
Used to beg my parents to go to that place. It's so freaking good. Especially the lamb.
WOW DUDE I JUST FOUND OUT THAT YOU LIVE HERE! I LIVE HERE ALSO AND I LOVE THE CART, but this was 1 year ago so idk if you still live here please reply!
Kevin Lin I do!
+Strictly Dumpling
Mike, I'm half Indonesian and Half Chinese
Chinese proud!!
I would love to try the lamb and gizzard... ;)
best lamb skewer in new york is in flushing, the car on kissena blvd outside of walgreens
street lamb skewer price is going crazy in China, like 5 years ago it was 0.5 rmb each. Nowadays, they are usually 2 rmb each..I miss the old days.
Cao Xiang yea, and nowadays you dont know if it's fake
Dan fake Asian confirmed!
+JaccoFF GOOD POINT!
absolutely
RIght?! Gizzard is amazing, it's like the part everyone fights for when we have a good chicken soup! Most of the time the elders give it to the younger ones as if it was some kind of tresure of the chicken.
There is no such thing as fake asian if your parents are asian fake asians are eggs dan is just a banana
Amhurst? What is exactly this location called?
where is it now?
Dude...if someone doesn't like something, they don't like it.
Remind me when I was in Beijing! Chinese kabob stands everywhere. I might open one in Indiana. I just need to get the seasoning right.
Michael Nguyen nice! do it!
C'mon men?! that gizzard is so delicious ; )
"Organs are meat" "No..they're not" hahahahaha. Nice vid. Street BBQ is something I eat 5 times a week. I literally just ran out for some sour Thai sausages. I live in Thailand though so BBQ is everywhere I go. Love it.
Chinese BBQ is amazing. I had some in Shanghai like 2 weeks ago and I was just like, "This place is AWESOME." It was pretty cheap too, 60 yuan a person for an all you can eat.
Jason Zhang they are the best
mike this place here in the winter? I live in upstate so don't want to go there for nothing..thanks.
John Lee yea I think so, but there are many places like this so you should be ok
oh, I used to eat there very often it was so good.. until the owner changed and then it is not that good anymore. But later I found another much better Chinese BBQ in that area around Grand Ave~>w
Me and Dan have the same taste hahaha
Where is this place? Can we have an address?? I'm drooling!
Hey Mike! do you know any good Korean BBQ place that is affordable in NY or NJ? :)
ZheZhir ummmm.....the best deals are all you can eat places...if you go to flushing during the week for lunch it's not bad...check out BBQ village
What happened to Dan?
Gizzards are a muscle-arrangement that surround the crop. When you see birds eat grit or small rocks, they're using the gizzard muscles to grind their food in the crop with the rocks/grit acting like teeth/impellers to grind-up the food.

Mike got a open mind and taste
Puppys sat on my lap watching this so have to get me some BBq
Where is this, whats the name?
I disregarded the message at the beginning of the video...starting to regret it now * drool *
I’ve done that with half his videos. I feel your regret.
You guys should cover other types of Asian food. There is a Malaysian restaurant next to Hong Kong supermarket called Taste Good. Taste Good got the best Malaysian food in Elmhurst. If you guys go I can recommend a few dishes that you guys would like.

Strictly Dumpling

where is this place？？
you should do workout video with sixpackshortcut
that argument though at 2:06
I went to that spot before. They were okay :)
In my opinion the skewer bbq spot in Brooklyn Chinatown taste a lot better and more juicier.
really?
Strictly Dumpling Just my opinion but yup ^_^. If you have the chance, please stop by Brooklyn Chinatown (around 8th ave) and try them. They usually open around evening and have around 5-6 different stands.
Omg I live near you!!!!!!
kpoploverfighting1 try to spot us :-)
With a name like Flushing it's got to be ...
Interesting show.
THIS puts a new SLANT on bbq
I love chicken gizzards, hearts and livers of all kinds and beef tripe and I'm not Chinese ;). But not a fan of kidneys, lungs and brains.
And Mike is right - gizzards are meat.
All of those items on the menu look great except the heart. I'm not a big fan of heart, but I'll eat it if I have it. And Dan! You're in JH? I just moved out of JH back to my childhood neighborhood LES.
Out of curiosity, did you guys try to interview the owner?
One of the best Thai places is across the street, Chao Thai
