Day In The Life of A Korean Cafe Owner
Tucked away in the mountainous city of Yeoju, Korea, lies a picturesque cafe that looks like it came out of a Studio Ghibli movie. Cafe Yeoju specializes in serving freshly made seasonal cakes, desserts, and drinks in a beautiful, outdoor green space. Everything is freshly made, from scratch, every single day by the owner, Yoon Dahee, and her two staff. Having always been fascinated with the cafe culture in Korea, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend a whole day with her at the most beautiful cafe I've ever seen.
Thank you, it still feels like a dream (:

Lastly, thank you to my translator, Philip, for making this video possible. Making videos in non-English languages is really important to me, especially when so many incredible food places exist around the world.

Day In The Life of A Korean Fish Cake Master
zhlédnutí 276KPřed rokem
Hidden away in a local market 2 hours outside of Seoul, a small shop named Mr. Song's Handmade Fishcakes can be found. Every day, Mr. Song wakes up early to make 30 different kinds of fish cakes from scratch. From preparing different colored vegetable pastes for his 5-color specialty fish cakes, to stuffing others with cheese and hot dogs, or even shaping fish balls with his bare hand, Mr. Song...
Day In The Life of A Taiwanese Master Chef
zhlédnutí 986KPřed rokem
A restaurant has only one grand opening in its lifetime. For Chef Eric Sze, that means finally opening the doors to WenWen, one of NYC's most anticipated restaurants of 2022. I had to honor of capturing this magical night in WenWen's history - an extremely special memory for me since Eric is a dear friend I've known for years. Fully booked tables, hours of prep, roaring wok flames, a cacophony ...
Day In The Life of The #1 BBQ In Texas
zhlédnutí 15MPřed rokem
Hundreds of pounds of brisket, ribs, sausages, and turkey are smoked at this somewhat hidden spot in Kennedale, Texas. Long lines start piling up 5 hours before the place even opens. People come from all across the country just to try their food, especially their house-baked bread (which is unheard of in Texas). I had the honor of shooting with the team at Goldee's BBQ, and it was an unforgetta...
Your audio fucking blows
This is their LIFE and they love it🙏🏽, also the editing is insane
Parasite vibes
"There's like 35 eggs that go in there" WHAT HAPPENS TO THE LAST EGG IN THE THIRD CARTON?!
Damn this is an impressive piece of documentation 🤠👏🏽
The glizzy gobbler
Just watched this, and for some reason it hit me emotionally. The young girl pitmaster had tremendous work ethic and seems so humble….her smile, her sincerity….she had a charm about her. Most ppl don’t have one great friend, and this group has been together for a long long time….They had an idea, and made it work. Great job with this. 👍👍
brisket cutie kinda bad <3
BBQ is far from easy. It's something you have to love doing, and above all, giving great service period.
That was amazing
Sold out in a couple hours is crazy
You guys😂 should definitely buy some hair nets
Idk what I expected when I clicked on this video but I definitely didn't expect it to elicit so many emotions. These guys are all around my age, still hanging out and living life together after all these years, they look so genuinely happy. Meanwhile my friends from high school and college naturally grew apart as people moved, got married, etc. and now although I have a fantastic job in terms of financial security (control systems engineer), it's nowhere near as fulfilling as this appears to be. Relationships are the most crucial aspect of a happy life (backed up by multiple multi-decade experiments) so these guys are really living their best life. Can't say I wouldn't want to join them.
Outstanding.
Memaws brisket better
Здравствуйте одна порция сколько стоит $
Don't Ever throw Out Bread
That food is unreal 😋 I like how you are all best mate's
I like when he was seas9ning them that was decent and looked like perfection
Great video boysss.
Beautiflly done documentary, mesmerizing at times
My father in law would be proud to see these young people take great pride in making food with the most important ingredient, Love, the way he did God rest his soul. Thank you! You’ve brought tears to my 62 year old eyes
We need more Alvin!
Love this videos 😂😂 dont eat a lot of red meat
Well, I eat dog meat
Was just watching this video and thought dang I would love to try it but I don’t want to drive across the state. checks maps, 12 min away😏
Awesome documentary! Such a great story these guys have, all being friends from an early age and growing up and BBQ'n together. As an avid lover of the BBQ, this was a treat to watch. I wish them all the success in the world!
what nice people. I wish them every success
If there is a place I would go and visit in the states is Texas lol
Their is a certain way its cooked were its juicy tender
No offense
Why does it look burnt. Its bad 😅
AMERICA 🇺🇸🫡
In September 2022 hurricane Ian hit my town (Fort Myers, FL) and we evacuated to my aunts house a cpl hrs away. While we were there me n my Dad came across this documentary and we both really loved the story. My dad loves good bbq restaurants and has traveled to a lot of different ones all over our state . The next month October 2022 while our town was rebuilding, i got a new job with a $3000 sign-on bonus. I told my mom for Xmas, as one of my dads gifts, I'm using that bonus money to fly me n my dad to Goldees bbq in March for his birthday. One month later on Nov 22, 2022 my father died unexpectedly. It crushed me. But I still took the trip in March 2023 to honor his memory n celebrate his birthday. I brought one of my best friends who my dad really liked in his place. We got there at 6am and we were number 9 n 10 in line. Best bbq I've ever had! It's painful to watch this video but it also reminds me of my friend who got to experience waiting in the cold for 5 hours for BBQ with me lol. This year, on the same day from last year, me and that same friend went to one of our local barbecue restaurants we like here and had lunch in his memory and in memory of the trip we took. I love n miss you Dad and I'm sorry you didn't get to experience the #1 BBQ in Texas. Thank you Goldees and Alvin for making this unforgettable documentary ❤️🙏🏻
HERE'S THE THING ....🤨 And why you are a total moron for waiting inline for hours for these places on a list. They do a phony list every year - those places are still there ya' know ha. (eg. Goldees will still be good a few years from now - but will be on no lists. The Hickory Stick and Off the Bone are minutes away and just as good - both were once on a list ......
Let's go baby Funky Town Fort Worth represent they got the best
Damn these guys are killing it. Mad respect to these young entrepreneurs.
What a nice story. That BBQ and food is pure love. This is what America is about; turning your passions & dreams into reality. Texas BBQ is amazing. I only got to experience it once, and it was out of this world, delicious!
I'm so goddamn hungry.
Absolutely Phenomenal Work Everyone. I hope i get to eat there one day! Great work on the documentary man. You're incredibly talented!
Id move to America to eat at this place
Mother f'ers are tailgating just to get into a bbq joint. That must be some damn good bbq!😂
“Everyone travelling through Texas looks up best bbq and it says go to Kansas City”. Fixed that for you 😉
You're an amazing Boss
those are the sexiest brown beans ive ever seen
Dude...
Alvin can tell a story
I'm here trying to lose weight
Alvin is shooting slice of life documentaries like Hayao Miyazaki directs Anime ^^ Amazing work.
You think you can make the captions a little smaller next time?
I love BBQ. Texas doing everything the best.
