Chef's Night Out: Wes Avila
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 07. 2024
- Guerrilla Tacos started as a two-person food cart in 2012, and has now become quite possibly the most celebrated food truck in country, earning the distinction to be the first food truck ever reviewed by legendary LA food critic Jonathan Gold.
Head chef and owner Wesley Avila serves up some of the most unique and delicious tacos LA has to offer, so we tagged along with the LA native (on his birthday, no less) to see where he heads out to on his day off. The first stop of the night was Walter Manzke's Republique for serious French fare, with truffle pasta, caviar, and a ton of wine (even a Magnum bottle to go). After getting crushed with food, it was off to Cliff's Edge in Silverlake for some lighter dishes and few cocktails. We then headed all the way to the other side of town to Tonga Hut, Wes's favorite bar that he frequents so much his name is on the wall. The crew quickly downs some tiki drinks and they zips to Mexikosher to cook the final meal. There, Wes whips up lamb tacos for his friends and family, and caps off a very special birthday.

I love Chef Wes Avila, his wife, friends and peers! they seem like cool, bad ass, down to earth people! please do more of these episodes with them!!
El mejor CHEF de CALI gran persona yo TUVE el honor de trabajar con el y fue una gran puerta que se me abrio.
Gracias, chef WEST por todo, gracias por la oportunidad de ser parte de su equipo del 2018.
Espero y les den una estrella michelin que tanto se la merece, pero para eso hay que trabajar duro y se que algún día no tan lejano ese honor va a llegar.
Les deseo lo mejor y para adelante.
Había trabajado antes con CHEF Tony esnault y pasar a GUERRILLA fue UNA GRAN oportunidad de desarrollarme en comida MEXICANA, que nunca había estado y más a ese nivel, fue un BUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
de las mejores experiencias en mi vida.
nice episode, thank you👍👌👏
Fantastic episode, very entertaining guests!
great ep. i can tell this dude is legit and has a real love for food. anyome who can't see that is a fcuhk boi in my mind. dude is french trained and he still rocks it out in a taco truck. props dude.
Great series, lovely looking food
Katsuji! Another one of my favorite top chef’s. He’s funny af and an inspiring. However I didn’t expect to see Phillip in the mix?? How does that work. He was one of the most irritating chefs from the show. I just don’t see Katsuji and Phillip as homies. 😂
I'm down with this guy, looks great! Wish I lived in LA
I'd like to see a Chef's Night Out with Katsuji. Saw him on Top Chef and he seems like a funny, interesting dude.
The guests were like we waited all night for some lamb tacos? Damn
Chef Wes is such a good dude. His IG makes me hungrier than anyone else's. Uni Tacos WHAT?!?!!
I liked it. Yall grumpy down here
SirSpaceboots hey man I’ve had this friend I’ve know for like 20 years and I can just remember that his birthday is some day in June.
Love it...
Great video.
an Asian guy named Jerome. That's a new one for me

+Tonathyu Perez An asian guy named 'Ramon' would be weird as well ! Lmao
+angel jacobs you guys should know some filipinos then. A lot have spanish sounding names.

A black person named Humphrey lmao
awesome. I think this is my first time watching chef from food truck. is this video the first for foodtruck chef? ...
there's a lot of awesome foodtruck chef. hope there will be others
Had brunch at Republique back in June of this summer. That place is incredible. Great coffee too, which is super fucking important!
I like this guy.
It's LA after all, damn I wish I was LA hipster for a day.
honestly i love watching night out because it reminds me of nyc nightlife
Then im afraid it was not really nyc nightlife as meant to be experienced
Jk i actually wish we had more eclectic dining options here in baltimore
we've become really good friends...happy birthday, it's your birthday? lmao
from around 09:00 his wife at the back keeps checking his hand near his "friend" lol
Nice video
He’s a nice guy. Cultured.
$4 for a single tiny-ass taco that doesn't even have any meat on it and $3 for a bottle of soda?! You're crazy, homie.
Reminds me of the film Chef.
10:25 "orale lets bounce." that sounded proper chicana right there
u had from the beginning brody with that tassle action lol
I'm just trying to figure out how I get on the 'invite' list to the late night meals at one of these spots...
text: "where the fuck are you it's your birthday and you gotta start cooking these tacos!"
>kosher
>rabbi needs to be present during cooking
TIPPITY TOPPITY KEKAROO0O0O0O0O0!!1!1!1
Taco chef is cool.
Already watched it on the official website... All I could say about this episode was: weirdass hipsters
+BubbaMetal Daaaaamn
+m nguyen you sir are a fucking moron
A Japanese who owns a Jewish Mexican restaurant wtf
Mexican jew with a Japanese name.episode on it
+rene amador he's not jewish
incoming disingenuous hipster chef complaints
+Books vs Cigarettes You called that one man! People troll so hard on here I don't understand..? Whats not to like, food and drink with good friends. Bless..
i know, people really don't understand Chef culture, they just blindly comment, it's really irritating
Very true. Working in the service industry was one of the hardest and most fun jobs I've ever had. Bonds built and memories I'll never forget. S.I. people really know how to party.
totally man, work hard, play harder
She says; " just edit me out". lol
I wonder if one of these chefs could go a whole episode without fucking swearing
Why?
I feel like the Asian guy was there just to spice up the demographic. He didn't even have a dialogue.
Yeah was pretty awkward too
I think poor Wesley married an old man in a pink wig.
love guerilla tacos!
its mad how closed minded people see someone different and call them a hipster.
we all need good looking friends
Nasty ass tacos
THE CUTE OLE RABBI HAD AN IPHONE 3GS
72 drinks in 1 year, sounds like a weekends work lol
@1:50 isnt that a hair in the taco ??? bottom left lmao!
id still eat it though
I wonder how many of the folks who make the "damn hipster" complaints have actually worked in a kitchen. It's FULL of eclectic personalities.
That said, I'd like to see a more traditional white-coat featured in Munchies.
fuck I enjoyed that way to much 😂😂
I'd say humanity is in trouble.
wow the tonga hut I'm tongan so woah
and in tonga drinking in kinda looked down upon so wow
Can someone explain the whole rabbi kosher thing, and how much it is exactly enforced
+Daniel Lee Theirs an episode on that joint, look it up.
o look LA. Again...
Reminds me of jack black. ahaha
rabbi aint no like munchies?
1:50 hair in your taco bro
look at 7:20 is that pewds? the girl also looked like marzia
+Mark Magboo Holy shit, sick catch man! That's totally Pewds XD
8 dollar tostada???? Wow
Why didn't the asian guy ride the car with them? Did he drive himself while drunk or did he have a personal ride :o
"Edit me out"
mmm those little things you pick up at cocktail parties and pasta with truffle and fois gra dosed over it... tell me that restaurant didn't pay him to go there or was just trying to spoil him with off the menu dishes.e
What I learned from munchies: every california chef is a fucking hipster
why are him and his wife never sitting together in the car
Because she’s 80
Because he’s fucking other bitches and still is
They ate overpriced samples served on huge plates! I would've expected Chefs knew the better places to eat I guess they were just promoting their tightwad friend Chef's restaurants in this video. And as a token of their appreciation only got free alcohol for the plug on Munchies haha.
2 Dollar strippers? The world is a magical place
Is he a Mexican hipster?
+Dave He ate tacos before they became mainstream. #TacoEnthusiast
KingDennisJensen loool
what muscles lol?
These are not hipsters.
Real hipsters drink PBR and ONLY PBR.
Take your anti-hipster chatter elsewhere yo
tecate is the new PBR
+Washingtonian SEA why do you have to care about what you eat to be a hipster?
actually hamm's tecate and pbr all work. also whiskey's.
I've seen worse episodes.
They should have a night out to the gym.
i barf at his wife
americans..
Freemason much?
Lol who's his wife ...... how did he go from driving a forklift to going to Paris..haha sugar mama for sure
if you put weird shit on a taco munchie will make about your business
the brighter outside the worst inside.. stop swearing yig
How the fuck does that guy have a JAPANESE name????
Once you get really old those tattoos are going to make like old lizards ughhh.
Typical rude hipsters
cringed too hard at the first 20 seconds. im out
Yeah no grow up.... you are entitled and your friends
boost you ego along with there’s alike. This video made me very sad.
rip-off artist, that fuckin food DOES NOT taste good
Reminds me of the film Chef.
