- Guess what David?
- What?
- I got a new show coming to Thrillist,
aside from our amazing show "Send Foodz" of course,
and it's where I ya know invite some kind
of unsuspecting homies.
- Oh!
- To eat some food that maybe you wouldn't normally eat,
maybe try something out of the ordinary,
maybe a little something that you're not used
to eating on a regular basis,
and oh let me tell you it gets crazy.
- Wow!
- Stay tuned.
- You didn't say the name of the show.
- I didn't?
- No.
- Daylight come and me want to go home.
- Come Mr. Tallyman, tally me banana
We rollin'?
- Yeah.
- Oh (beep)!
- What's good you sexy mother(beep)?
Welcome back to "Send Foodz" in my kitchen.
I'm Tim Chantarangsu.
- And I'm David So.
- We are so excited today because we got Tim's picks
for this episode.
- So usually what happens is like
Thrillist will pick a few like local spots for us,
but today we said, "(beep) you guys,
we're gonna choose our own food."
- These are some of my favorite spots dude,
we got some good stuff.
- I'm super hype, you have no idea.
- We've been texting about this all week
- Like literally I've been in bed at 1am
like, "Bro I can't wait to eat on Friday,
oh my God its gonna be so great."
- And then Mariel's like, "Who the (beep) are you sexting?"
I'm like, "Tim, shut up."
- Then I sent him a dick pic and we go to sleep.
- Curves.
- Let's see where should we start?
- You you you pick you pick.
- OK OK OK OK OK.
Chia is Eritrean, she's my wife.
She put me on to injera.
So this is from a restaurant called Little Ethiopia.
- So usually what you do is
you'll get some of this.
- Son of a bitch, it looks like tripe.
I hate the way it looks but it tastes so delicious.
Let's put it this way, huh?
Yeah how 'bout that, huh?
Trypophobia people, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, in your (beep) face.
You'll deal with it just like I have to.
- OK you'll scoop some of this,
this is like some beef,
and you just kinda put it in the middle there,
tear off a little piece like so,
gonna get me some veggies, get me some beefys.
That's that fire right there.
- The first time I really got down
on this shit was when Chia's parents came
and they made Eritrean food for us to eat
and it was so (beep) good.
- Her dad, poppin'.
- Really good.
Not as good as Chia's parents' stuff though.
- Shout-out to my father-in-law.
The savory, kinda sweet, spicy beef,
and the veggies.
- Very well spiced beef.
I wanna know what these spices are,
I can't put my finger on it.
Maybe like cumin, curry, cardamom.
- Cardamom.
Uh and um...
You know what? I have no idea.
- I don't know.
- So, to my surprise,
a bottle of 1942 showed up at my door.
- I asked for the cheapest bottles of Patron,
God damn it.
- Ah. Well what do ya say?
- Let's get it. This is delicious.
One of those tequilas that you don't chase with anything
because this right here, oh yeah
oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...
- Wow.
Cheers to "Send Foodz."
- This is a sipping alcohol man.
- Yeah totally.
- You don't down this shit.
- No no no.
- This shit is smooth.
OK what the hell? You just wasted like $3.
- I got too excited.
- Oh no.
- Bludso's Barbeque.
I'd say probably some of the most
poppin' barbecue you can get in LA.
Originated in Compton.
- That Compton one was (beep) dope though.
It was a little scary, but it was tight.
I love it!
OK mac & cheese baby! Let's go!
Is that greens?
Come on brother!
- Oh yeah brother, gonna tear that bag brother.
Have some of this barbecue brother!
- Slapped my upside my head.
I almost blacked out.
- Open it open it.
Oh foil yes!
- We got some pulled pork,
burnt ends or pork spare ribs or pork ribs,
and brisket baby, let's get it!
- Man I'm so excited.
I wanna thank God for creating other living creatures
that we can slaughter and enjoy with sauce!
- Amen.
- I like a little bit of barbecue
on my mac & cheese, dog.
- Ain't nothin wrong with that man,
a little sweet and salty.
- Oh man, oh baby, sweet mama.
- Oh sweet mama Jesus.
- So bomb. So bomb.
- I like southern mac & cheese.
It's a little different than the typical mac & cheese
that people get accustomed to, like the one with the
with the, what's it called? With the bechamel
and shit like that, or the roux and shit.
- I was not listening to nothin' you were sayin'.
- All right but this one is like done with
like melty cheeses.
It's (beep) good.
- I love just a nice fatty piece of meat, dog,
slow-cooked and the way the meat kinda just falls apart,
sauces poppin'.
- Tim, thank you for choosing Bludso's.
- I had to do it. I had to do it.
You know I like the tips of ribs and chicken
because you get cartilage, you get that crunch,
you get the fat, um,
and you know when you don't feel like going
all the way, you know, just the tip.
- Just the tip, baby.
- So I ordered from a spot called Pasta Sisters.
- Pasta Sisters!
- You ever been?
- Never.
- This shit's legit.
So I ordered us porcini mushroom
with the fresh tagliatelle,
and then a salmon and cream pasta which is on spaghetti.
- Hell yeah.
- Beat this Italian food brother!
- I'm surprised you didn't grow up with
any siblings.
- You have very sibling tendencies.
- I'm just an insecure little man and I like
to take any excuse to beat up on someone.
- Oh you're serving me?
- Yeah.
- You are such a sweet person.
- Of course I'm servin' you a pasta,
it's like a pasta...
- Be careful Wario is a bad guy.
Save Princess Peach from the castle.
Oh my god.
Ah god, that was great.
I feel like I just made love to a sweet Italian BBW
after she cook me dinner.
- BBW huh?
Only way to go.
This place is so good.
- Dude and it's Postmateable from my place,
which is the beauty of what we're doing
and what you gotta do in these times,
you gotta make sure to support your local business, you know?
I love Pasta Sisters and I know it's struggle out here
for restaurants, so that's why I wanted to make sure
order from them today.
Also...
So this place right here,
I've taken you to once when we were drunk
leaving somewhere.
Tam's, a local hamburger spot which is poppin'.
Open the chili cheese fries up.
- Yo you talkin' 'bout cheese.
- You talkin' 'bout some mother(beep) cheese, dog.
- Can I get some fries with my cheese please?
- After the club, after the football games,
everybody would end up at Tam's, all right?
- And this shit right here is a hefty burger.
If you eat two Tam's burgers, well my friend, you
will be dying real soon,
'cause that's hefty.
- The cheeseburgers already come with some
Thousand Islands on it, shredded lettuce here,
tomato, burger. Classic shit.
- Here we go.
- Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.
- Ain't nothin wrong with Tam's burgers, OK? OK man?
It's what I want my Whopper to taste like,
that's what I say a Tam's burger is.
- I even love when like a burger like this gets soggy bro.
- That little steam that it gets from the paper!
- Sogginess of the Thousand Islands and the lettuce
and a little bit of toast on the bread, too,
little crunchiness.
- Oh my God, so much cheese!
- So much cheesy.
- That's good chili cheese fries.
- That's some good chili cheese fries, dog.
Sonic the Hedgehog would be proud.
Oh no he liked chili cheese dogs.
- What's the sound that Sonic makes?
- Sonic the Hedgehog goes uh...
- He goes...
- Oh (beep)!
Since I'm embracing my long Thai last name.
We got some Tom Kha soup.
This right here is a coconut base.
- Love it.
- Tasty. Hainan Chicken.
Whenever people ask me what they should order
from a Thai food restaurant,
I always tell them to get some Ka Pow, all right?
- Ka-Pow!
Slap him with the napkins, brother!
Clean up your act, brother!
- One more.
Please don't be a knife.
♪ All that's left of me ♪
♪ Is scared and full of death ♪
♪ Will I make it through ♪
♪ Please take me far away from here ♪
- Spoon, brother!
Spoon, brother!
- Thankful it was a spoon.
I needed that spoon though.
- OK so Ka Pow is usually ground up
beef or chicken just ground up with some spices
and some herbs and then they serve it with rice
and usually a fried egg on top.
A lot of people are familiar with
the Singaporean Hainanese chicken,
which is usually served cold.
Thai Hainan chicken is warm.
Homie that soup right there? My favorite, bro.
- Oh right there.
- All right that's all broth for you there.
- Thank you.
I feel like the ugly step sister,
like there's your dinner and your gruel,
and you should be thankful you even have that to eat.
- Take your swill you little (beep).
They say that in "Cinderella."
- Take your coconut soup and mushroom you (beep).
And if you don't like that you can eat my feet later.
(beep)
- Hainan chicken though...
This my shit. Oh and in Thai, it's called Khao Man Gai.
Khao is rice, man is like fat, and gai is chicken.
- Khao Man Gai.
- Come on, guy!
- I'm just gonna grab it with my hand.
- Oh no you crazy.
- This is something I could eat every day.
- Oh dog, whenever I miss home, I'm like,
"Mom can you make me some Ka Pow please so I can come pick it up?"
And she goes, "You have any money?"
- I don't know.
I like how everything I ate so far never made me sweat
and I put Thai food in mouth and now look at my nose.
- All right man what would you say what was your
favorite thing you ate today?
- I wouldn't think that I would say this,
but I gotta say it was the Tam's burger.
- Really?
- I don't know why.
- Not only like delicious but also comforting.
- It's comforting, right?
And that reminds me of my childhood,
like that delicious backyard barbecue burger.
- Hmm I can see that, for sure.
So for me, you know what's crazy?
I feel like my favorite bite today
was that brisket.
- Oh man Bludso's... This is a very hard decision.
- Yeah.
- Or this chit rice here, I don't know.
We'll say Tam's.
- Yeah OK and I'll go with Bludso's,
that was my favorite, the barbecue.
- Oh Buldso's, yeah. The rib tips.
- Anyways guys thanks for watching another episode
of "Send Foodz" on Thrillist from my kitchen.
