Very oriented cause they defraud the government of course they would act like very sophisticated mannered humans when there getting our hand outs
Iranian-American LA Native who grew up in Glendale. So much love for my Armenian siblings, beautiful and resilient people, culture who inspire
I grew up in the Valley and have always had Armenian friends. Great people. Extremely loyal. They treat you like family. Delicious food. Awesome episode.

Thank you! God bless you!

Fraudsters is what they are

Sona from Conan O'Brien is my favorite Armenian, lol. love her so much.

Proud of you 👍 from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Armenians are the true Christians . I LOVE FROM ETHIOPIA
❤❤❤
Growing up in LA, my next door neighbors are Armenian, and they use to hook us up with Armenian pizza, it was so good. Also Armenians parties all the time, they know how to party.
Wherever our Armenians find themselves, they always represent our culture with dignity, especially in America.❤️🇦🇲
I met Armenians living in Mexico City they’re everywhere great hardworking businessmen
It's all fraud that's all they do is fraud when they come to this country That's why they're ahead of everybody else they're like the Jewish
Visit Armenia, it’s amazing. Rich ancient culture, yammi food, landscapes, ancient monasteries.. plus great nightlife of Yerevan
Costa Rican American. I head to North Hollywood and Glendale for some great Armenian cuisine. I tried this carrot coleslaw salad that was out of the world. I had grilled green pepper and tomatoes with wonderful rice and grilled meats with lavash bread and yogurt.
Armenian here, I think the carrot salad you’re referring to is the one in the video where the grocery store owner says it’s from Uzbekistan. Most Ex USSR countries eat that salad
@@AnatolianArmenian It is delicious. Almost coleslaw.
Don't forget all the fraud they do so beautiful
Pura Vida en Estados, amigo.

Marcus can simply slip into any culture. It warms my heart.
Ինչ լավն է այս տեսանյութը։
As an Angeleno-New Yorker-Angeleno, I love that Marcus pointed out that "Hollywood" isn't just about the entertainment industry. Most of us are just normal people from all over the world, mingling together and eating each other's food. Jonathan Gold was the food writer who began recognizing amazing restaurants run by immigrants in nondescript mini-malls all over LA.
Wow I am 33 years old and did not know to much about the Armenia culture thank you I am truly learning so much from this series
This is the best one, not for anything other than the love, respect and unity with their eclectic backgrounds. While recognizing their non Armenian heritage by one another it’s amazing and fulfilling to see as a Ethiopian diaspora
Great video!! Have such fond memories of having Armenian neighbors when we lived in Fresno! Who were so kind to teach me how to make amazing Armenian food that we have at least two times per month!! Fresno was William Saroyan country 🙂
OMG! I love the Armenian gramma so much ❤
This episode was like a tapestry of Armenian people, history, and cultures - so many layers and feasts. I love how Marcus gets involved in the cooking process.One of my favourite moments was the part where Marcus learned from the Armenian grandmother and recognized her relationship with her grandson, but also the matriarchal influence on so many chefs of today. Marcus has such passion and respect for other food cultures. I wish there had been more seasons to this show.
Amazing chef! Very proud to be Armenian! 🇦🇲I am glad you enjoyed the food and also told about the culture and history! Greetings from New York!
Your very proud of the hand outs our government gives you ? Victim

Thank you Marcus! My son Chef Michael Kay Keshishian appreciated your love towards Armenians and for bringing awareness of how amazing Armenians are and of course, I as his momma appreciate you too. One love.
thank you for sharing about Armenians :)
My family and I have traveled to and through LA on a number of occasions. I have always heard about the Asian culture, but the history of the Armenians is on another level. This is the richest show he has done up to this point. I hope I get a chance to sample some of that great cuisine and understand more of their history next time I travel to California.
There is a very old Armenian church in chennai india ..and there is street named after Armenian ppl used to live there
Thank you my dear INDIAN sister/brother. We love you❤ hopefully one day there will be again lots of Armenian enriching beautiful India even more. ❤

Marcus Samuelsson such a classy gentleman. Great show.
I went to Fresno State and fell in *love* with Armenian food - rice pilaf and dolmas are awesome!
this was a great episode, greetings from turkey, or west armenia. people like me are not majority but be sure there are people in turkey who think that armenians are more than brothers an sisters for us.
I find that very hard to believe
West armenia?? Come on mann. You are kidding:))
Thank you for the kind words
Maybe you are an armenian who lives in Turkiye? Like zaferyan? Ah there is no such western armenia when Turks came to Anatolia there wasn't such a state armenia stop your lies
Thank you! We've been close. I hope the mutual hate stops one day
Marcus is Ethiopian. The Ethiopian are the African brothers of the armenians. We share alphabet and church and history
Tell me more about this please! I noticed the similarities in our alphabets and Orthodox religion... but don't know the history!
@veek6514 I don't know everything to the exact historical roots. But Ethiopian representatives traveled to armenia in the 1300s and set up their church to the Armenian system. Both are Oriental orthodox. Emperor Haile Sallasie went to Jarusalem in the 1930s where 40 armenian Orphans sang to him as he entered the Armenian quarter. Selassie took the orphans to Ethiopia along with their composer and they created the Ethiopian national anthem which was used under his rule. Much of the Ethiopian jazz during the last 80 years is heavily influenced through Armenian musicians living in Ethiopia. Selassie made a refuge for armenians in Ethiopia following the genocide in 1915 so many Armenians moved to Ethiopia and settled there. My grandfather was actually considering this I was told. As far as the languages. I don't know the exact connections and where is happened. But if you look at the letters they are similar in design. There is definitely a shared influence between the two during the Ethiopian empires and Armenian kingdoms . I dont know the exact details there. But the church connections are actually historically indicated and traced
@@xavierlaflamme8773 I dunno... you seem to know quite a lot... THANK YOU!!!
I saw someone explain that there were pilgrimages to Israel and on the pilgrimage an Armenian monk met Ethiopian priest or monk and that’s how the alphabet might have been shared and was brought to Armenia. The Script has origin in Saba present day Yemen and Axum and Saba were like one. The Ge’ez script comes from Sabaen script and then Amharic and Tigrinya came from Ge’ez
Also I’ve seen the surname Habeshian in Armenian culture. Interesting since people from northern ethiopia and a large part of Eritrea call themselves Habesha
I'm glad for the references to Ethiopia to recognize Marcus' ethnic connection to the Armenians because Ethiopians and Armenians have a history of friendship and kinship with each other for centuries. Even today, many older generation Ethiopians will recognize Armenians as being their brothers and sisters because they were raised this way. The Armenian and Ethiopian Churches are the same branch of Christianity and Emperor Selassie is well known for his adoption of around 50 Armenian orphans whom he raised and educated as a response to the genocide.
❤❤❤
It's so cool! Another interesting fact, despite both languages looking strikingly similar, they were actually both invented at around the same time but sound completely different! Yet if you look at the written language, they look extremely similar
Great job. Thank You Marcos.
I am proud my nation.🇦🇲
Arthur Grigoryan’s parents’ house - Wow!
Armenian food flourish in Los Angeles looks so delicious and I really want to eat this food. Thanks for your sharing🌹👌💓😘
Genuinely awesome documentary. My Armenian girlfriend and I live in LA and know lots of what you've shown, but never heard of some of the restaurants, and can't wait to try them out!
Greatest piece made on Armenian culture and food in Los Angeles.
Marcus Samuelsson is such an amazing host! I'm Armenian and kind of a history nerd so I always felt so connected to Ethiopia and was thankful to Ethiopia for the help to Armenians in our history. It was so nice to see that connection with the host as well. Thank you for showing the Armenian community and our culture so beautifully.
Incredible how far the Armenian diaspora spread, even to China. I'd love to see how Armenian cuisine in China is like with the influence of local flavors.
My nephews girlfriend in Canada is Chinese and she loves basturma
Fun fact, the first RECORDED Armenian in China was from the 4.-5th (if I remember correctly) a Christian monk named Ruben I think the Chinese Version of the name is something like "Al-Lupen". :) amazing Mixtur of culture and stroooooong values and workdrive => Armenian&Chinese❤

Armenian American diasporan here, this video was so spot on ❤💙🧡😍thank you for highlighting how we all came from different places because of the genoc*de.The representation was amazing 🇦🇲 Armenians still face threats of genoc*de from Turkey and Azerbaijan today. The same stories that were told by the people in this video from the perspective of their grandparents, are now stories we have witnessed ourselves in 2023. We have to tell our children about Azerbaijan/Turkeys second Armenian genocide. We are survivors and these great videos about our food, traditions, and history to show that we are still very much alive 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲

I love this show and hope Marcus never stops interviewing people. The food is beautiful, the people are beautiful and the way Marcus interviews is beautiful.
Armen @ Mini Kabob is the man. He and his parents are the nicest family on earth and IMO have the best (armenian) kebabs in all of Los Angeles.
This is a *love letter to Los Angeles food culture* thank you for producing this.
Thank you, Chef….this just warmed my Armenian heart❤🙏🏻🇦🇲
Love being Armenian
Yeah!!
The mention of Armenia, Armenia. Hearing Hyastansi, Beirutsi, ParskaHye (spell check) growing up… and friends fighting each other from who is the real Armenian or better than the other.. makes sense to distinguish themselves like husband and wife did. Beautiful culture, food and history.
Love this show.❤
Growing up in California was so interesting because I thought they were Hispanic in Montebello but no they were Armenians.
This is my most favorite series right now!! Thank you so much PBS for making this accessible on UA-cam. I get SO hyped every time I see a new episode :)
thanks for this awesome video.
I am just loving this series.
Marcus you are fantastic. I love your show and this episode in particular is just as great as the story you tell about Armenian culture in L.A. Hugs from Italy
Omg being Syrian American this food makes me need it
Thank you PBS and thank you Chef Marcus for highlighting our culture 💛🙏 one day hopefully we will have you in Armenia
Thank you PBS and Chef Marcus for an awesome episode about my people for recognizing and appreciating all the amazing chefs and restaurants and specially the Armenian people in Cali and around the world!
I love this show.
Googling Armenian restaurant in Dallas! Great people & amazing cuisine!
Thank you PBS🎉
Thank you for this episode . Yes , We love quality food to gather with family .
What a show..... the audience, the production, the way of telling the story, and everything... It can be better. Bästa Marcus.
Excellent show

Wish I knew about your channel earlier. The most informative and historic information about people culture view and exploration 🇦🇲
What a great episode. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
This was awesome🫶🫶🫶
Thank you, Marcus🙏🙏
Of course, Armenophobs are everywhere with their comments about Armenian food being theirs etc. Don’t forget: your ansestors came on mules and horses destroying and killing and stealing what was not theirs. Same thing with your cuisine: it’s Armenian. You live on Armenian lands, you eat Armenian food, you breathe Armenian air. Do a dna test, you may have Armenian blood too. And you still in denial.
Long Live Armenia and Armenian nation❤️💙🧡
ԿԵՑՑԵ ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆ
May our enemies turn to ashes.
Amazing! Filipinx from Glendale/Pasadena area. So cool seeing all of the Armenian food gems. Excited to try them all! :)
BEAUTIFUL!!
What a lovely man you're, Marcus jan, love to Ethiopia💛
Great representation of Armenian culture and cuisine. Great job!!!

After seeing this program I’m looking for a Armenian restaurant in Zürich
Не ищите, не существует армянской кухни, это кухня тюрков и персов
@@Armyanskoe_Radioда ты пошёл к черту. В юрте на коленях готовили такую кухню,вы кочевники, с чёрными и белыми бараноми?
Забыли где и когда вы начали строить каменный дом? Где вы были до 7-8 века?
Thanks Marcus / it was a blast hanging with you brother. Muffin But Love!
It's super i love my Armenians❤
This was the best episode!
¡DEAR MARCUS, AWFULLY THANKFUL TO YOU FOR THE EPISODE!
LA is a heaven for the best Armenian and Mexican food my two favorite!
I loved this. Marcus’ enthusiasm makes the show - love armenian food
Really enjoying this series!!
Genats/ Cheers to a great episode 🙌🏼
GLENDALE!
Amazing and refreshing episode ❤
Outstanding video!
This was the most beautiful presentation of Armenian culture and cuisine in LA. I feel so proud. Thanks to Marcos for this amazing interview❤
No Kardashians were shown in this recording for the sake of the viewers 💯 Aside from this, awesome work PBS 💯
If you are only mentioning Kardashian when you see the word Armenian then you have a long way of discovery of who Armenians are. 😊
By 1881, the first Armenians settled in Fresno, California, those few became many in just a few years. In the 1920s tens of thousands of Armenians were making their homes in LA and San Francisco, as well as Fresno. Armenians were soon a big chunk of the Fresno population, but LA and Glendale eventually overshadowed Fresno
Thank you dear Marcus
Sorry for Chef Samuelsson at 3:33 but the largest armenian diaspora communty lives in Russia (2 225 000 peoples) and both at the second place we have the french armenian diaspora (between 400 000 to 600 000 peoples) and the armenian-american community (for 2014-2018 period 446 786 peoples of armenian origin (American Community Survey). But thanks to him to give light to our sisters and brothers of the armnenian-american community.
Every episode: so excellent
Let’s go that’s my boy Arthur
Very nice thanks❤❤
Great job!
Chef nice to see you trying Armenian food. I always watching your cooking. 🙏🌷🍳🫑
