The subtitles for the intro are always a treat - “ding that foreshadows steven’s gonna go hard and regret it by the end of the video” whoever you are, never change ❤
love how much steven interacts with the film crew and guests! the way everyone always riffs off each other makes steven's vids so vibrant despite him technically being the only host
i hate how these videos with steven are SO SLEPT ON. as someone with issues with food/eating - these videos are so F*ING COMFORTING FOR ME AND OTHERS. steven and co. deserve the same viewership as the other Watcher series’s 😭😭😭
i get the sentiment but honestly, if there's less interest for food content then that's just that, it has nothing to do with "deserving" or people sleeping on it. also comfort doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. to be very honest, personally, when im eating instant ramen for the third night in a row because that's what i can afford that week, watching some guy fly across the planet to stuff himself with food until he feels sick is pretty much the opposite of comfort for me
Istg you can say apples are great and you'll get people under your comment section going "SO YOU HATE PINEAPPLES". OP never stated that everyone has to find comfort in these videos. THEY LITERALLY said "these videos are so fucking comforting for me and others" what is so hard about comprehending that sentence? Also i agree, because a lot of watcher fans were unsolved fans at one point, they mostly tune into ryan and shane. Which honestly makes me feel like people pay little to no attention to steven unless he's with them
@@faeraindrops? what are you talking about, that's literally what we both said - "they may not relate to other people the same way they do for you" and "comfort doesn't mean the same thing to everyone". we just said that it's normal that not all content appeals to the same amount of people
@@MintySomething It's completely validated that viewing someone with excess can breed discomfort; it's why people might ignore or scoff at those who seem to live in a completely alternate universe from them. That being said, OP seems to be dealing with an eating disorder, which is a different issue from yours. Certain eating disorders may cause one to lose their appetite and have trouble eating much at all, which is why communal eating (or in this case, a limited sense of it) can be beneficial in encouraging those affected to eat in an environment free of guilt. I don't think OP's comment should be taken too literally or personally if what faeraindrops said is right about the Unsolved crowd. (Worth It has and still is a very popular series too, though.) Misunderstandings from you and fae aside, both your and OP's reasoning is valid. It is curious that you'd watch something uncomfortable, but I guess we're free to view whatever content we'd like. Thanks to both of you for sharing your insight.
I really love the little illustrations in between with the text!! It's so cute and I wish I could get a shirt with all the illustrations and names of the foods!
@@chemicalhap yeah tell me about it😭I have a friend who lives in Seoul and who works as an English teacher. Tbh at the same time I feel like working is hard everywhere
Same feeling over here! Have been thinking of moving there for awhile, though luckily I get to visit often. When I'm not there, I dream of the food and watch videos just like this one... 😂 Hope you get your wish to come true!
Yes! Subtitles are key! I hate missing the little details in a foreign language when watching a video - it's why my wife and I translate everything on our channel (Korean and English, since we do some Seoul eating and adventuring). Sorry that you missed the nuance of her ordering the jeon 😂
I think that’s kind of the point, right? I think that when people visit places for a short time, they try to absorb as much culture as possible as quickly as they can, whereas the people who live there are able to slowly learn everything about the region because they’re not really on a fine constraint.
Wow, 20 years! No shame in not trying every single food though 😂I've taken the tact of trying as many dishes as possible when I visit, and I probably lapse into a food coma at least once or twice a day...
“It’s famous. I read about it on the internet” “Then it’s really famous, if YOU read about it” 😂😂😂 Us Koreans are so sarcastic it’s fucking great. That had me dying lmao
Yay Steven!!!!! He’s like the single dad of Watcher while his preteen sons run around and come back like “DAD!! Look! We found a ghost!” And he’s like “that’s nice boys now go edit and post it and don’t be fucking around. We got bills to pay.” I love them so much!!! 😭😭😭
I never wanted this video to end! Steven's approach to trying new things is so entertaining, because you can tell his curiosity is genuine, yet he's not afraid to voice his honest thoughts. I like how he quickly formed an opinion on the tteokbokki, without it sounding pretentious. More of this please!
I've said this before but Steven makes eating foods you've never heard of before so accessible and it's really enjoyable to watch him, the crew, and guests just vibe and eat. These videos always make me feel so comfortable and I learn something new each time!!!
I had surgery in January and I found this channel thanks to my friend Kat and it’s been making me smile while I can’t walk! Thanks so much Watcher and of course Kat!
Andrew works at buzzfeed still on About To Eat Channel while this company/channel is owned by Steven, Shane and Ryan that’s why Andrew and Steven don’t make content much content together….
Steven is the best! I like trying to say the names of the foods in Korean, I feel like i'm learning in addition to being entertained. All the food looks amazing, the sticky rice doughnuts in the beginning seem most up my alley.
For the Korean translation of dad they actually wrote "아파" which means "I'm in pain" but I feel like that accurately describes what Steven was feeling at that point anyway 😅
Thanks Steve & crew for letting us live gastronomically through you-yeah Korean food! I will do my best to try it as an American in America, but I'm sure East Coast Korean fair is WAAAY dif. from Korea-Korean :)
I really love and appreciate the translations you guys provide! I'm learning a bit of Korean while my mouth waters over all of this delicious looking food.
we also have stuffed peppers here in the philippines called “dynamite”! usually has ground pork and/or cheese inside. we dip it in a mix of mayo and banana ketchup :)
19:18 The sikhye honestly made me think of horchata when I heard "sweet rice drink" lol I also thought of Chile rillenos with the stuffed fried peppers from earlier. Maybe I might really enjoy Korean food if I ever get the chance to try it beyond Korean BBQ lmao🤣
As a vegan it's kind of fun to watch someone eat all the things I would never get to try ☺️ I was surprised though cause some stuff looked possible for me! I've heard Korea is more difficult to be vegan in than Japan where I'm currently eating super well.
I think Korean is just so-so for vegans, based on my experience. There is definitely some food (wonderful food) to be had that fits the bill, but there are only a handful of restaurants that truly offer up a wide array of vegan-friendly options. Would be very curious about the situation in Japan, though!
@@osteoalchemist he is in Korea. He makes and eats all kinds of foods I have no access to. SO YES. EXOTIC. HOW IS IT NOT, He's from America, and so am I, and neither of us are Korean
Travel + food + Watcher is always a win in my book. Props to Steven, the guests, and the crew! My experience with weird pork textures is the opposite of Steven's though. As a kid, I was so into fatty pork, whereas as an adult, I don't enjoy the texture or the thought of the havoc it's wreaking on my arteries.
I really really hope they make more of this show. Its so interesting and fun. Steven is a great host he just has such nice vibes. Other countries need to step up and invite Steven to do videos there too.
11:49 I think the Indian dish Alvin is referring to is 'bhajia' which is vegetables deep-fried in batter. 'Bhaji' translates to vegetable and pav-bhaji is something entirely different: a dish with vegetable curry, eaten with bread (pav)
Steven is awesome. I'm so happy he's made it all the way to where he is now. I remember his first Worth it episode where he got made fun of by Keith for just being his bubbly-self! Happy he didn't change and kept his way. See, he's extremelly successful, got his own TH-cam Channel and living his best life through food. Love that guy! Any thumbnail I see with his face, I click as quick as I can lol
I'm probably going to go to Seoul sometime in the next couple years, and this makes me so excited, especially as someone who can't have gluten and LOVES rice cakes
Too bad Eric Nam couldn't join you holding a bottle of soju and introduce you to a Korean version of the Waffle House...which is just a guk bap without the fights.
I just want to see a BTS photo with Steven and crew walking on one side of the street and Korean Englishman on the other with the faces from that Umbrella Academy meme with Five and Victor in the cars.
강정(gang-jeong) actually is type of traditional snack in Korea, and 닭강정(dak-gang-jeong) is named after that snack, because it's prepared kinda similar. Also 걸쭉하다/진하다 would fit more as thick in that context. 두껍다 sure means thick but like thick, as in meat is thick or something like that.
and 20:06 that oil thing she talking about is malt. I think she is confused because in Korean it's called 엿기름(yeot-gee-reum), 엿 is taffy like rice syrup candy and 기름 is oil. Idk why it's called that but anyway.
Shoutout to Lizzie knowing Korean she can truly do it all
I was so impressed and happy.
She killed it. I was impressed
She was like move away, it's my time to shine.
i think she mentioned in a ghost files debrief that she loves BTS
There is a difference between knowing a language and knowing a few simple phrases.
I would watch a whole series of Steven and the crew eating their way through cities/food markets
Seriously. All six continents, then McMurdo.
wow you're gonna lose your mind when i tell you about buzzfeed worth it lol

“You’re thinking of tuna, my guy”
The sassy little editor’s notes always take me out 😭
The subtitles for the intro are always a treat - “ding that foreshadows steven’s gonna go hard and regret it by the end of the video”
whoever you are, never change ❤
He was probably thinking roach of the sea 🤣
@@MrSebastianlucky that’s lobster
I’ve always heard the phrase, “tuna is the steak of the sea.” So now I’m confused. 🤔
@@Fuckstrangers "chicken of the sea" is a common brand of canned tuna in the US, so that's probably where a lot of people have picked it up from
This channel has made me realize I'll watch Steven eat anything
Same and I would also watch Steven attempt to make anything, including drinks. 😂😂😂
😏
*clears throat*
I agree 👍
We're watchers fr
Always a treat to get an Alvin Zhou cameo
Yes! Alvin is the low key hero on a lot of Worth It, A.T.E and Watcher related content! Glad somebody pointed it out 🙂
@@FlavorofMindI know this is late but Alvin wasn’t on Worth It, he didn’t even work at buzzfeed back then
love how much steven interacts with the film crew and guests! the way everyone always riffs off each other makes steven's vids so vibrant despite him technically being the only host
Totally. It always feels like a fun hang, every second!
Also Steven needs to be on another Top 5 beatdown episode about the Best Street Foods
i hate how these videos with steven are SO SLEPT ON. as someone with issues with food/eating - these videos are so F*ING COMFORTING FOR ME AND OTHERS. steven and co. deserve the same viewership as the other Watcher series’s 😭😭😭
They may not relate to other people, in the same way they do for you. It’s ok. Chill

Yes, those are sweet! Love the details in these videos...
As someone who badly wants to move to Seoul (but is unable to yet), I’m vicariously living through Steven rn
We’re all living vicariously through Steven
Working in korea isn't the best.
@@chemicalhap yeah tell me about it😭I have a friend who lives in Seoul and who works as an English teacher. Tbh at the same time I feel like working is hard everywhere

@@FlavorofMind thank you!! I wish you all the best too💗 xxx
i didn’t realise how SPOILED i was with the subtitles on korean englishman. lizzie lockard orders jeon = ”lizzie speaking in korean” 😂😂😂
Yes! Subtitles are key! I hate missing the little details in a foreign language when watching a video - it's why my wife and I translate everything on our channel (Korean and English, since we do some Seoul eating and adventuring). Sorry that you missed the nuance of her ordering the jeon 😂
I love getting to experience the world through Steven's enthusiasm and kindness.
okay i really think Alvin and Steven need a show because i REALLY love their vibe and banter when they are together.
Lol he is trying out so much more food than what I’ve been eating for 20 years living in Seoul
I think that’s kind of the point, right? I think that when people visit places for a short time, they try to absorb as much culture as possible as quickly as they can, whereas the people who live there are able to slowly learn everything about the region because they’re not really on a fine constraint.

“Then it’s really famous, if YOU read about it” 😂😂😂
Us Koreans are so sarcastic it’s fucking great. That had me dying lmao
Lizzie casually ordering in Korean, what a legend. Steven's videos are my Watcher fave
i need more alvin + steven content, they’re so funny
Yes, they make an awesome duo!!
Alvin & Steven next to each other really highlights NYC vs LA 😂 attitudes and how they’re dressed. Loved the cameo!
Yay Steven!!!!! He’s like the single dad of Watcher while his preteen sons run around and come back like “DAD!! Look! We found a ghost!” And he’s like “that’s nice boys now go edit and post it and don’t be fucking around. We got bills to pay.” I love them so much!!! 😭😭😭
This made me chuckle hard... indeed, bills to pay! 😂
Half a second later Steven collapses into a three-day food coma. Brittany has to carry him back to the hotel over her shoulder like a sack of flour.
It definitely happened...😂
Steven Lim, breaking hearts, stomachs, and backs, but not the bank.
I never wanted this video to end! Steven's approach to trying new things is so entertaining, because you can tell his curiosity is genuine, yet he's not afraid to voice his honest thoughts. I like how he quickly formed an opinion on the tteokbokki, without it sounding pretentious. More of this please!
Agreed... I simply love watching him eat stuff!
His reactions are so genuine, which is kind of rare on camera and on the internet.
Brittney needs her own show. I love her so much!
But regardless, this episode was great and so, so interesting! Thanks Steven and watcher crew!
Steven mentioning Chinese twin donuts made me so nostalgic. My grandpa used to get them for me with a pouch of soy milk ❤
I've said this before but Steven makes eating foods you've never heard of before so accessible and it's really enjoyable to watch him, the crew, and guests just vibe and eat. These videos always make me feel so comfortable and I learn something new each time!!!
As a person with food allergies I love watching people fearlessly eat street food!
Street food is always fun to see...show us more of Steven eating things!
EDIT: LMAO the parting words... Please wake up Steven
I had surgery in January and I found this channel thanks to my friend Kat and it’s been making me smile while I can’t walk! Thanks so much Watcher and of course Kat!
Wishing you a speedy recovery :D
Why is so much of Stevens content so wholesome/warm feeling? I love it.
A food show with Steven and Alvin would be sooo good!!!
i love getting snacks and eating them while i watch it’s like i’m hangin with a buddy
So weird to see Steven and Alvin together. So used to seeing them on their shows. Love them both❤. Keep it up!
They both quit buzzfeed that’s why. Steven owns this company/channel with Ryan and Shane while Alvin works at a different company/channel
I wished they did this with Andrew like the good old buzzfeed videos, but is still nice that they do this with the crew members.
Andrew works at buzzfeed still on About To Eat Channel while this company/channel is owned by Steven, Shane and Ryan that’s why Andrew and Steven don’t make content much content together….
AHHHHH Steven & team this was really great! 너무 너무 재밌게! Living vicariously so 감사요!
Steven is the best! I like trying to say the names of the foods in Korean, I feel like i'm learning in addition to being entertained. All the food looks amazing, the sticky rice doughnuts in the beginning seem most up my alley.
When Watcher turns into Eater. But wait, we're still WATCHING him eat! Right. Forgot we're always watching whatever it is! 😜
I can't tell how comforting this is
Its fun learning all these new foods I didn't even know existed.
For the Korean translation of dad they actually wrote "아파" which means "I'm in pain" but I feel like that accurately describes what Steven was feeling at that point anyway 😅
THIS is comfort-content, and it is what my soul craves. I love everybody in this video ❤️
Thanks Steve & crew for letting us live gastronomically through you-yeah Korean food! I will do my best to try it as an American in America, but I'm sure East Coast Korean fair is WAAAY dif. from Korea-Korean :)
I really love and appreciate the translations you guys provide! I'm learning a bit of Korean while my mouth waters over all of this delicious looking food.
I used to frequently visit Mangwon market and do food foraging just like they did! Glad they hit the right spot. You rock, Team Watcher!
we also have stuffed peppers here in the philippines called “dynamite”! usually has ground pork and/or cheese inside. we dip it in a mix of mayo and banana ketchup :)
19:18 The sikhye honestly made me think of horchata when I heard "sweet rice drink" lol I also thought of Chile rillenos with the stuffed fried peppers from earlier. Maybe I might really enjoy Korean food if I ever get the chance to try it beyond Korean BBQ lmao🤣
Thats a pretty good comparison, but note that sesame oil/sesame is not an ingredient for Sikhye but cooked rice and malt are its prime components.
There are so many wonderful things to try beyond the BBQ! I hope someday you get a chance to dig in! 🙂
As a vegan it's kind of fun to watch someone eat all the things I would never get to try ☺️ I was surprised though cause some stuff looked possible for me! I've heard Korea is more difficult to be vegan in than Japan where I'm currently eating super well.

really needed this today. thank you guys
I love watching Steven try exotic foods, he's so good with people too
......exotic foods? 😬
When Steven told the guys at the end he was their dad, I lol-ed at how equally charmingly awkward he is in any language.
@@osteoalchemist he is in Korea. He makes and eats all kinds of foods I have no access to. SO YES. EXOTIC. HOW IS IT NOT, He's from America, and so am I, and neither of us are Korean
It was the best having Alvin and Steven together. I adore them both!!
New Steven lim just dropped let's gooo
Thanks to Ollie from Korean Englishman, the whole time they were eating the hodduk I kept noticing Isaac's Toast in the background LOL
SAME 😂
As someone who always watches with captions, I really appreciate the extra attention Watcher gives to them ;)
thank you for posting such lovely amazing videos to eat with and thank you steven for always being a meal buddy to count on❤️❤️❤️
love the chill vibes, and the learning experience!!! the food looks so good :]
Oooh I can not handle that much fried food, my chest hurts just watching you but I bet it tasted so good 😭😭😭
Travel + food + Watcher is always a win in my book. Props to Steven, the guests, and the crew!

Who knows Steven has this chaotic energy 😂 the way he bite the rice cake and pumpkin fritters will haunt me for days
I feel like watcher videos always pop up when I don’t know what to watch--I love it
Steven really shines in these Korean food adventures. ❤
*carefully taking notes for my trip in 3 months*
Steven: "OMG, why are these go chus so big??"
Hilarious out of context since gochu is also childish slang for dick lol
Ah…explains a little why Steven likes to eat a good stick.
I don't remember Alvin's voice being that low. Giving real daddy vibes this episode
These are great vicarious foodie trips! 👍🔥❤️
God I miss Korean street food so bad this almost made me cry a little
I know this exact feeling... I can't wait to get back. And eat too much street food🙂
Steven's the best with these food content 😎aaaand love to see Alvin!!
Steven thank you for sharing Korean Street Foods !!! We love Korean Yummy Foods !!!
can't wait to watch!!!
11:49 I think the Indian dish Alvin is referring to is 'bhajia' which is vegetables deep-fried in batter. 'Bhaji' translates to vegetable and pav-bhaji is something entirely different: a dish with vegetable curry, eaten with bread (pav)
In south India they call it 'bhaji' though so he's not that far off ig
Stevens eyes everytime he says "what" 👁👄👁 literary the cutest !!!
Nobody does it better than LIM !!!
I adore Stevens videos! Wonderfully done as usual ❤
I would love if they came to the Philippines for this!!
I want more videos of Steven trying all sorts of food from other countries!!! 🙏
Such an enjoyable episode with lots of tasty Korean food 😋
Great video! Great to see Alvin again.
“im gonna go to sleep now, and maybe, wake up” BOY 😭😭😭
Watching this on my lunchtime and now craving for some tteokbokki AHHHH. Think I know what I'm having when I get home lol
Watching Steven eat is always fun to watch!
Steven is awesome. I'm so happy he's made it all the way to where he is now. I remember his first Worth it episode where he got made fun of by Keith for just being his bubbly-self! Happy he didn't change and kept his way. See, he's extremelly successful, got his own TH-cam Channel and living his best life through food. Love that guy! Any thumbnail I see with his face, I click as quick as I can lol
Awesome as always Steve,💯👌
Thanks for a very nice video that continues to try Korean street food 👍
I love how adventurous Steven is. His tummy may be popping but he'll keep eating.
I'm probably going to go to Seoul sometime in the next couple years, and this makes me so excited, especially as someone who can't have gluten and LOVES rice cakes
I love how steven still says "cheers" with anyone
I always love Steven content!!!!
Pig's feet are also a staple in german cuisine! They're usually served with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut.
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
I just need a series where Steven travels round the world tasting different street food!
This was so fun to watch and super funny! Steven your awkwardness is what makes you you and it's such a gift! 💗💗💗💗
Too bad Eric Nam couldn't join you holding a bottle of soju and introduce you to a Korean version of the Waffle House...which is just a guk bap without the fights.
Eric was supposed to be in this episode?? What happened then?
Alvin!~ just watched his most recent video - what a masterpiece
Yo, didn't expect that cameo in Quantamania, loved it btw 🙌
steven has me adding more places to my bucket list 😂
Stevens least unhinged series so far
omg we need more babish culinary universe and watcher crossover!
There is a Korean spelling mistake with the word Appa which is after Steven ate the free sample skate. It should be 아빠 not 아파. 아파 means hurt lol
yea i wanted to point that out too
I should not have watched this on an empty stomach 😨
I just want to see a BTS photo with Steven and crew walking on one side of the street and Korean Englishman on the other with the faces from that Umbrella Academy meme with Five and Victor in the cars.
We seriously need to have these foods in ‘Merica! C’mon! Man you guys are making me hungry!
