0:00 thank you [Music] we gotta give a big congratulations to Twitter Bay oh yeah because she is set to open her first restaurant in the La Hacienda area in West Hollywood upscale Vietnamese I'm excited so excited yeah it's great but there's a little bit of a weird thing that I thought we should stand up for her about why because I don't like her though try to try to stimulate that you like no no like all of her recipes on Instagram they look ████ bomb I can't wait I wanna I wanna try it okay but you don't like her as a person no no just a recipe so hi thanks to net shark we now know
0:52 some really ridiculous opinions basically they posted that like hey this restaurant's opening up and if you know where it's opening up you know that that's a very nice area I think the address that it's going to be open on is where poppy currently is which is one of those La Cienega that's baller yeah that's like where all the celebrities eat exactly is that we're like that's like close to Beverly Center uh north of it no yeah sort of yeah sort of but there's like even more like higher than Beverly Center type places closer to it than that so um in that restaurant area most places you're expected to spend a lot of money to eat there a lot of SBE kind of like properties you know so it got out there that the the cost per person would average around 75. 75 bucks the most expensive Vietnamese
1:44 food yeah yeah but it's really nice it'd probably yeah exactly yeah that's a good thing right that that now we have an upscale representation in that market now that market has Vietnamese representation within that Society so she's trying to she's trying to elevate exactly the whole like perception of Vietnamese food that's dope man I wish someone tried to elevate Chinese food oh they got a lot of that right do they it's all like five dollars for a whole pile of ████ that's pouring out the Starfall they got they got Chin Chin not too far away from that Chin Chin never heard of it I never heard about Chinese finders dim sum spots yeah there's a lot of the the biggest name of like higher quality like Chinese yeah it'll be tied to like in China they
2:35 have it you know there's fine dining Chinese food would be dope to have fine dining that you could actually think anything fine dining you should think like Steakhouse or like chap or uh French yeah Italian or whatever well you know what happens is that because Chinese food is so much already familiar I think it just gets fused I think you'll get a lot of fusions with like Chinese food that's elevated by via other cultural things and then they just end up being everywhere like all the nice restaurants in that area probably have something Chinese I see yeah like they're versions of it yeah yeah but this is the first of its kind basically it's dope and people are complaining of course they are who what are they complaining about because this is what I don't understand right is like Haters Gonna Hate yeah so why listen to what these ████ morons have to say but at the same time I'm very curious like what why people have a problem with people making a new
3:27 twist out of something like did they expect way to have like a ████ five dollar Pho restaurant which is unheard of her uncle with three teeth is saying I bring this from the Vietnam best spot in the world you know it's like arguably it could be worse because it would compete with a no-name mom and pop ████ shop that's also five bucks and it would price them out she's also trying to be different than what the market has available right what she's doing what I feel like is happening with this because I live in this area and I'm like okay I get it if she enters that market she's competing with those other restaurants she's not competing with other Vietnamese restaurants she's bringing Asian fusion into that world right put it on the map yeah and she's making it available to people who want to pay that price and I think people have a misunderstanding when it comes to fine dining it's like when you have a Cuisine
4:18 that's looked at as cheap she's probably using the highest quality premium ingredients that cost a little a lot more money than just like whatever they use at your local the prep that you yeah it's not it's not your average like Vietnamese food I think people are expecting it to be like a regular pho place but it's like no people at neck shark actually said that she's pricing out Vietnamese people from eating their own food it's not for them all Vietnamese people are so broke they can't afford 75 bucks for a plate like you're you're pricing them out it's like you're acting like there's no wealthy Vietnamese the pricing you out here yeah
5:09 Johnny 20 bowls right now yeah for 500k this guy's making changes he said opening up a restaurant like this does not mean the other Vietnamese restaurants are closing it's not like now everyone has to pay 75 bucks you can't get yeah they're just hating ass dumb asses dude that's like okay when I let her live bro yeah I'm an uncultured swine right so I remember paying like over a hundred bucks for some boom and I'm the whole time I'm eating foam and I'm going like ████ ████ I'm I want a McDonald's yeah but that's because I'm uncultured swine right I'm like why am I doing this and then later someone explains to me what fine dining all this stuff is it's like when you're a peasant ████ and you just want nutrients you just want to fill up because you just ████ want to eat but he goes you have to think about the experience when you're balling you're not hungry and
6:01 looking to you you want sustenance you want an experience yeah you can eat whatever the ████ you want so you're you're also not stuffing yourself every ████ day right you're eating more like you're not a Savage like me who likes to stuff till I'm about to ████ puke give me the buffet That's My Style yeah when I'm there I'm you you go this is how you're supposed to do it you're supposed to look at it it's supposed to visually make you go whoa this is pretty yeah it's an artistic experience and then you're like tasting it now their smell senses everything and then even to the to the decor and the atmosphere you're in and like that whole experience that's just you're it's just you're walking into an art gallery and then you're tasty yeah and I was like I didn't see it that way I said I'm spending a hundred bucks this does I'm getting this much I leave hungry ████ this ████ and
6:53 I'm like this is why I'm uncultured swine I don't get it no you're right that's a really good point because the way that this could be equated is like you said Fine Art so what happens when you put Fine Art in front of people that don't appreciate art they go I could paint that ████ yeah yeah so if you take this food that's me the ingredients she puts into it and you make it five bucks and you give it to a person that that wants to pay five bucks you have a higher chance of them going is all right yeah you know what I mean it's better over there it's a whole experience that's not that is not the situation right this is this is finally going to be a restaurant that can be open to people that are used to eating at other you know different Italian restaurants French restaurants and then now they can include Vietnamese in this area for these like people that are more affluent and more wanting to have that exact experience you need but there's a difference between casual dining upscale dining fine dining and it's like just that's what you're you're going to these
7:44 different experiences for a different reason right so when you go to a place where it's uh like because I'm sure she puts so much thought into the menu and all the different combinations of flavors and textures and all that stuff like some of these stuff that these chefs do it takes a lot of ████ time a lot of prep work and for it should cost 75 a person because all the experience yeah all the work that they do just to get like one little potato crisp have you seen like some of the stuff on YouTube or Instagram like they do crazy stuff where you're like what the ████ is this machine and it's art it is Art but you do have to like understand what you're eating and what you're consuming yeah but then for 75 I go to Vegas buffet that's what I'm saying I get crab legs I get oh unlimited soft serve at the end are you talking about Circus Circus because you can't get out there if you keep an open mind I think you
8:36 could actually like let more joy into your heart that's definitely I actually had an 80 bowl of ramen before at David Chang's Restaurant how dare you I think it's a the Momofuku or major Dome or whatever but like his stuff I think it's it's dope because you can see he took Asian food which most of it is like um like Family Soul Food right like it reminds you of the recipes your mom made or your grandma made or whatever he took it and he elevated it like he had like this smoked Branzino thing with some like uh but then it was like Japanese style where like he put like is it is the uh flavoring agent in ramen called tare or something yeah it's like the broth yeah like so people like smoked tari on ████ Branzino he had an 80 bowl of ramen with like Truffles and stuff and it was like an experience like when you eat it you're like oh ████ this is ████ Next
9:27 Level right so it's cool to see uh people try to put effort in and like how can I make Vietnamese food like next level yeah yeah and I think all food deserves that why can't sushi have that large of a yeah a cost spread why can't there be hundreds of dollars worth of sushi and also Ralph's yeah you know I mean like you're serving a different Market why can't French food why can't Italian food have Sbarro and also something yeah yeah yeah it starts from Sbarro if you think about Vietnamese food already that already has so many aspects of French like influence right so then we and French like food is like very it can be very elegant very fine dining considered the top Cuisine yeah exactly for a reason right so like it's it's adjacent and she's probably one of the first ones that's able to take this take and and serve it to a
10:19 wide audience like why you can't knock her for that if I if I give you this big Vietnamese coffee at a place for fifty dollars yeah and I'm not cracked up for four days I'm gonna be pissed [Laughter] but yeah dude uh Toyota Bay congratulations on your restaurant it's fun don't eat there if it's too much do you have any uh sample items on the menu do you know oh yeah it's a secret I it's nothing I understand because I'm just a lowly Filipino that just eats egg rolls foreign
