What a great addition to the roster. Esther Choi is one of my favorite chefs in NYC! She is authentic, down to earth and so talented. You guys are lucky to have her!
Bobby was so honest about what he didn't know. I love that a "celebrity chef" took the back seat and let Esther be the authority! These two have great chemistry and I would love to see them do more food tours!!
I personally disagree. She doesn't ask any questions a regular customer off the street wouldn't ask. I know how accomplished she is, she seems super under-utilized. I do not think she is contributing to the show. IF I just wanted to hear someone says "mm hmmm" and repeat ingredients listed by the guests, I would just watch the guets.
It's really refreshing to see a successful chef so open, humble and honest to a new cuisine that's not as well known in the western side of the world. I'm fascinated with all the different spices and techniques of Chinese foods, I often watch a lot of @BlondieInChina 's videos where she ventures to different provinces and tells about all the different flavours.
Jason was so nice and tactful with his noodle critique. They look hand-made. They look hand-made! lol 😀Then... Bobby Flay..."I like your budget on this show."! I'm hooked on this show! So many great things about it!
Being from Xi'an, I'm really glad that our food is getting some love! We're in a very unique place geographically and were formerly the capital of China. What Jason said about the food being a tapestry of the history was so beautiful. It's hot but so so flavourful. The vinegar adds so much dimension to the mala.
Bobby's comment about being the best that you can be at a skill set is the best advice you can get. Jobs come and go, but your worth as an employee is all about your skills and talents. Being the best you you can be is always going to reward you. Loyalty to an employer may get you benefits, but being the best you will ALWAYS pay off. And i would also like to add, the wider the skill set the better. Knowing things is it's own reward, but it tends to pay off in making you a more rounded person.
Bobby Flay was so saturated on the Food Network. Eventually, I found myself rolling my eyes every time I saw him because he would over-explain food to middle America every time he opened his mouth. He's a talented chef, and I wanted to hear him talk in-depth about the food he cooked or ate. I enjoyed this video. He has knowledge about what he's eating (I have a feeling he knows more about Korean food/chilis than he's letting on), but he's on someone else's show and wants to just go for the ride. He's the most personable I've seen him in 25ish years.
*DUDE, WHATEVER HE SAYS ON THE TV SHOWS IS SCRIPTED. WRITTEN FOR HIM AND READ OFF A TELEPROMPTER. THATS NOT HIM OVER EXPLAINING ANYTHING. TELEVISION SHOWS ARE NOT IMPROV!!* _THE SHOW "THE TALK" WHERE IT SEEMS OPINIONATED, GIRLS LIKE WHOOPI, ARE READING FROM TELEPROMPTERS ALSO, SEEN SHOW IN NYC AND COULDNT BELIEVE IT. MAJOR HOAX SHOW_
Super happy to se Aunty Esther, she is natural in front of the camera and seem like a lot of fun to hang around! A rising star for sure! watch out Gordon🤣
man I love your show. As a chilli enthusiast, and a guy who loves cooking.....this is great for me. (I was watching this while eating a tom yum soup I just made to perfection! easily restaurant grade level, with 1 scotch bonnet chilli to spice it up)......yummy!
Flushing is awesome! Manhattan was mostly Canto when I was a kid, but a lot of Taiwanese moved to Flushing, so you heard a lot of Mandarin there...with a Taiwanese accent, of course. Now you have people there from every part of China practically. Food is only the beginning.
This is a really good show! I'm just going through, checking things off, watching you all add depth to my education. There's a lot I already knew, but it's lovely to see it in practice, at the top of the craft, somewhere else. We have pretty good grocery stores and restaurants where I live, as well, and my friends and I dive pretty deep both into the spice and the variety. I'm sincerely looking forward to the next one, it's like being out with friends and talking about the same things we'd talk about.
Fascinating !!! So good to see Esther Choi introduce Sichuan cuisine ! Next time, they should try the stalls on the first floor food court. That's where the MASSES go ! If you want a truly authentic experience, you just have to go where the locals go, period.
Esther choi is a budding flower… what a great addition to your team .. she seems so genuine and chill and most importantly relatable.. seems like your dining out with a friend.. need more opportunities for her..
I've actually had this dude's Xian cookbook for a few years. It's great. Made this exact dish from it...and biang-biang noodles without the beef many times. Haven't made the cold noodles yet. Good cookbook to pick up.
When I lived in Greenpoint and you opened on Manhattan Ave. , I stopped ordering from everyone else. Your quality spoiled me and I LOVE it. When I got out of the hospital on Monday after 2 months (and I had to be readmitted on Thursday, nothing to do with you), the first meal I had was at your place about 45 minutes before you closed. When I get back out of the hospital hopefully soon, I’ll be having my first meal there again. Just brilliant, wonderful food.❤️
So glad she is getting more exposure! She should of won Iron chef but the show has a flawed format. How is it fair to pit 1 challenger against ALL iron chefs AT THE SAME TIME?! She was the best challenger that season for sure
was that meal a 1000 bucks!? My mouth was watering the whole time, not because I'm hungry but because my brain is telling me how hot it is. Esther is a natural
Esther is fearless wearing white t-shirt and going hard at the spicey oils - my shirt would be extra spicey with the slurp and splatter all over - but she a pro
*Like if you think you could BEAT BOBBY FLAY in a spice-off* 😆🔥
Bobby is definitely not afraid to eat hot food
I thought I could but he really handled that hot food!
I eat da bomb because I enjoy it. think i'd be okay.
Why are you botting views and comments?
I doubt he could handle the mildest of my hot sauce collection.
What a great addition to the roster. Esther Choi is one of my favorite chefs in NYC! She is authentic, down to earth and so talented. You guys are lucky to have her!
Couldn't have put it better myself. She is great
She’s a natural in front of the camera. No awkwardness not like she’s trying to hard
AUNTIE Esther Choi. Get it right
Now bring Uncle Roger and this is all I'll watch EVER!
Esther is just one of my favorite people! She is wonderful in every video!
Bobby was so honest about what he didn't know. I love that a "celebrity chef" took the back seat and let Esther be the authority! These two have great chemistry and I would love to see them do more food tours!!
They’re friends so she just let him relax and she directed
Esther's the perfect blend of professionalism and chill. Such a great interviewer/eating partner!
I personally disagree. She doesn't ask any questions a regular customer off the street wouldn't ask. I know how accomplished she is, she seems super under-utilized. I do not think she is contributing to the show. IF I just wanted to hear someone says "mm hmmm" and repeat ingredients listed by the guests, I would just watch the guets.
Auntie Esther is a natural with whatever she does! Luv the series.💯
Uncle Roger is watching every episode!
*ESTHER? WHAT IS HER REAL NAME. ESTHER IS NOT, NOT ASIAN NAME*
I love this series, glad First We Feast isn't just a Hot Ones channel.
Hot Ones deserves its own channel
They have a bunch of other shows on here
That Taco series they did a couple years back was HORRIBLE... This one looks legit tho!
Not their fault if people decide to sleep on other stuff they have been always doing
Speaking of Hot Ones, which celebrities would you wish for the next Hot Ones videos?
Really cool interview with Bobby Flay, I'm a huge food network fan and I've rarely seen Bobby Flay so candid.
yall need to do the chinese (canto food) with Lucas sin Eric Sze

ESTHER CHOI is one of my favorite chefs here. THANK YOU for more content with her

Hot Oil and Black Vinegar are staples in my kitchen.
I love Xi'an food! It has such unique spices & flavors. Feel like I'm taking a bite out of Silk Road history everytime I eat it.
She was made to do this! Such a natural. As long as camera guy Bill doesn't dance at all, I will continue to watch.
I love this new series. Looking forward to more!
Yes, I like the same for new cuisine and place
Esther knows how to be very professional and very informal at the same time. It comes off as massive amounts of rizz
Impressive guests out the gate, I can feel the heat!

"he knows more about Korean food/chilis than he's letting on". Probably true, but this episode was about Chinese food.
Facts! They over-Flayed us!!! 😂😂😂😂
Its Chinese hotpot dude.

He seemed grumpy while Ms Choi was delightful
Super happy to se Aunty Esther, she is natural in front of the camera and seem like a lot of fun to hang around! A rising star for sure! watch out Gordon🤣
This is my new favorite series on TH-cam!!! The food looks so good. 🤤 thank you First We Feast for a great new show! I love her!
Like how Bobby was so chill...
Just having a good time..😊
Esther is really perfect for this channel. Loving the series.
I love this series and I love Esther. Then having Bobby Flay was an added bonus. This series is a wonderful addition to First You Feast.
Camera Guy Bill out here being professional AF!!! Keep up the amazing work sir!!!
Thank you kind sir!
CAMERA GUY BILL is a Legend! Haha I tuned in for Flay but was much happier to see Camera Guy Bill!
I love the spice and I really liked Bobby Flays take on spice. That is pretty much how I came to love the spice.
New fan of Esther! OG fan of Bobby for like 20 years......Love it!
I really like the end credits. just observing the food, getting excited about the food; it was overall nice and wholesome.
I am LOVING this show!
This series is great and Esther has tons of charisma. Thanks for this another great show!
This show is fun and honestly has me feeling adventurous!! The best part is how much you can learn every ep! Thanks Esther ❤️🔥🔥🥘
Dang... im obsessed with this new series... gib more!!!!!
I don't think Bobby Flay has aged a day in all the years I've watched him.
She needs her own channel. I could watch her all day. Aloha.
She has one but its not active
NGL I just love seeing Camera Guy Bill getting to eat good food
Best job in the world!
Love this series!! please have more episodes with Aunty Esther!
This was absolutely AMAZING!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you Bobby! Preach about people
Being themselves! I love it! This is why you are my favorite! Keep it real! 👍
Man what a cool show! I love spicy food and seeing these food spots is epic. Bobby flay and auntie ester ftw
Love Bobby Flay! Good show!!!
aunty esther reuniting with bobby flay after destroying him is so funny!
I hope this series never ends!!! Thanks Esther for holding it down for the heat eaters out here!!!! :')
Bobby Flay sans "a production team choreographing his every move" is the Bobby Flay I didn't know I could like. Great episode! Esther is awesome.
man I love your show. As a chilli enthusiast, and a guy who loves cooking.....this is great for me. (I was watching this while eating a tom yum soup I just made to perfection! easily restaurant grade level, with 1 scotch bonnet chilli to spice it up)......yummy!

I love this new series. Esther had great personality whilst having the expertise for good comments.

Bobby is so chill love him
Another great episode! Could we to see Esther on hot ones and then have Sean be on heat eaters? Lets make this happen Bill!
Time will tell.....🤔
Yess
@@CameraGuyBill thank you for making my dream come true
Loved Ester ever since she took over Kitchen Gadgets on Eater's channel. Stoked she has a new show
this had made me realize that i need to see bobby flay on an episode of hot ones
we love Esther content!
I love seeing Esther in more stuff she is charming and knows food.
I 100% agree with Bobby, the best part about chili's is their different flavors and how to use them. Making things spicy is super easy
Loving this new series! Esther is brilliant!
Fascinating !!! So good to see Esther Choi introduce Sichuan cuisine ! Next time, they should try the stalls on the first floor food court. That's where the MASSES go ! If you want a truly authentic experience, you just have to go where the locals go, period.
I like what chef Flay said about prospct chefs. The integrity matters more than skills. Love it. My ideals exactly. Love you Iron Chef. :)
Awesome vid my friend keep them coming!!!!!!!!
I love Flushing. Many happy memories for me, great meals.
I have been in that mall too.
ive been LOVING this new series!!!
This was such an AMAZING addition to the family!!!
Awesome show. I hope this will be continued for a long time.
haha you know its good when bobby is like oh im not done!
So much delicious food! And I love Auntie Esther's enthusiasm! Too bad it's hard to find (and to make!) that kind of food where I live ❤
Always nice to see Esther!
Great show with Bobby Flay.
5:49 the legend speaks...
19:19 “I like your… …I like your budget, on this show.” 😅👍🏼🤣
Never take this off the roster! What a great show!!
Such a fun watch! Esther is great.
Im loving this Bobby Flay is an inspiration mentor and cool dude.
Loved this! More, please!
It's good to see Bobby has mellowed out since his early days on Iron Chef. It was a low point for him IMO but I'm warming up to this version.
Love this woman, ever since she appeared on Uncle Roger. She has great energy and a huge personality.
Esther choi is a budding flower… what a great addition to your team .. she seems so genuine and chill and most importantly relatable.. seems like your dining out with a friend.. need more opportunities for her..
This show is so pleasant to watch
I've actually had this dude's Xian cookbook for a few years. It's great. Made this exact dish from it...and biang-biang noodles without the beef many times. Haven't made the cold noodles yet. Good cookbook to pick up.
Love this show. Esther always gets me craving while at work 😅
Xian food reminded me of Mikey Chen, he would be good in this show! Especially the hotpot and spicy food
lol when he said I WAS A LITTLE SKINNY KID... ehmmm you still are bro hahaha
When I lived in Greenpoint and you opened on Manhattan Ave. , I stopped ordering from everyone else. Your quality spoiled me and I LOVE it. When I got out of the hospital on Monday after 2 months (and I had to be readmitted on Thursday, nothing to do with you), the first meal I had was at your place about 45 minutes before you closed.

So glad she is getting more exposure! She should of won Iron chef but the show has a flawed format. How is it fair to pit 1 challenger against ALL iron chefs AT THE SAME TIME?! She was the best challenger that season for sure
Auntie Esther, you know the one guest we want..
esther choi is officially my favorite!
Absolutely loving Esther, GOD I love spicy food, so jealous lol
Great show. Looking forward to this series. 😊❤
was that meal a 1000 bucks!? My mouth was watering the whole time, not because I'm hungry but because my brain is telling me how hot it is. Esther is a natural
Camera guy Bill is a First We Feast legend.
Just trying to make you proud! Thanks for watching!
As someone who's crazy about spicy food, I'd love to try these 🤣
Supremely enjoyable episode!
Auntie Esther!!!! You have an admirer
Everyone know, Jamie Oliver, is not spice boy. Only spice he eat is chili jam. Hayiaa...
Bobby: "I like your budget on this show" 😆
“They look handmade” 😂❤️ we all need those type of friends
The man speak truth. Restaurant business can go bust in five years. Magical skills of cooking as hard work goes will always provide to get by.
Love this series!
Definitely better than the first episode. The food looked really good!
Certified Gold!!!!!
Esther is fearless wearing white t-shirt and going hard at the spicey oils - my shirt would be extra spicey with the slurp and splatter all over - but she a pro
How i wished these food are available where i'm at. Hearing spicy food always make my mouth water.
love watching fellow Korean Americans making it. Proud of you, Esther.
Speaking of which, I wanna see Aaron Yoo, Steven Yeun, Go Ah-sung and Jamie Chung being featured in the next Hot Ones videos.
Bet uncle Roger is drooling from this video and it’s not bc of the food 😂
