    Can you release a longer version of this video? Lucas is so intelligent and I appreciate the background information and significance of all these places. This video was too short

      Agreed. I could watch a 30 minute long version of this for all the restaurants in Hong Kong. Maybe they could pad out the time by showing more of the cooking process
