If Asian travel, culture and food turn you on, a series of videos recently produced by David and Andrew Fung on their YouTube channel might be of interest. On the channel simply known as "Fung Bros.," the Seattle natives, stand-up comics and certified foodies hit the road in the world's largest continent to take in the culture, meet the locals and spotlight the cuisine that they say you cannot get anywhere else in the world. One look at their channel reveals some pretty varied and interesting eats, from a high-end Vietnamese grill house in Hong Kong and a night market crawl in Taipei to bento at a train station in Japan and Cantonese street food in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. And then there was Andrew's favorite, the guo kui in Chengdu, China. "It's kind of like a Hot Pocket," he explains. "It was freshly made. You would wrap it up in dough and then you stick it on the side of what looks like a pot of it, where they make naan (a flatbread). Because there were a lot of different influences in China. I don't know, maybe it came from India originally, that style of cooking. But basically it sticks on the side of the pot and it just rises and gets toasted and then there's like meat inside that's kind of spicy. I've never really had anything like that before. It was just really good." Like Anthony Bourdain and others before them, the Fung brothers believe that food is a way of bridging cultures and a means of enabling people of different backgrounds to find common ground over a meal. "Being able to talk about culture through food," Andrew Fung says, "is a really good way to introduce the idea of different cultures because everybody has to eat food, everybody likes food, and that's usually the first thing that people share with each other nowadays, is like, 'Oh hey, I'm from like this part of the world ... and this is what they eat. Wow, this is cool. I like this food.' So then it kind of goes from there." David and Andrew Fung What book are you currently reading? "A book that we recently just got was 'Double Cup Love' by Eddie Wong. It's his second book following 'Fresh Off the Boat.' I also read 'Modern Romance' by Aziz Ansari. And then any book by Malcolm Gladwell is pretty cool. ... And Obama's book 'Dreams of My Father' and 'The Audacity of Hope.' " What did you have for dinner last night? "Late night, I actually had In-N-Out burgers after the gym, protein style. But for dinner before that, we ate at this spot called Sun Nong Dan. It's a Korean stew spot. ... This is like more traditional. It's just about stews, beef stews, the short rib stews. It's not just spicy. ... It's called seolleongtang." What is your next project? "We're making some changes to our YouTube channel but in that we are filming some short films. We did this 'Get Out' parody, which is the Asian version. That was fun. And then we also did a short film that we shot around L.A. and we used random people in the street ... and we just asked them to be in our movie and play a quick role. So it was like a fun way of making a movie."
