this so they're going to teach out us
how to do it it's going to be fun all
right let's do
it
Sam is the owner of shano thanks for
having me man yeah okay so what do we do
so this is the dough for the hand food
noodle first we have to get the dough to
spin how do you you're going to grab on
the two sides to edge of the so you just
cross it you can just two hands together
oh oh I messed up already this does not
look like
yours this in Chinese called little
little because what which is kind of
relaxing the dough uhhuh smoothing the
dough get it to F and smooth have on the
table as well
uh-huh and this is all to make it make
it the texture better yeah you're going
to shake it longer yeah shake it longer
your two hands
together and the next turn you're going
to put it back to the other side all
right back on the other side yeah oh all
right okay you're getting there then we
spray the flowers on we start rolling
which is making the shape round so yours
look like a like a
ponytail mine looks like kindergarten
project that I messed up on now we're
going to the next step I'm going to
separate this two two I'm just going to
use your dough yours look good and one
is mine so we're going to R it around
when you're ready uhhuh you're going to
grab two sides yeah and you're going to
shake it one okay and then put like a
shap on the okay all right once you see
one side is kind of thicker you're going
to grab and shake it to try to balance
it out oh okay okay grab y you got two
noodles now you're going to keep folding
it which you get double and double you
rip this off yeah so once you have a
like excessive dough on your hand it out
okay we'll leave it out and you're going
to grab the other side the bottom of
theel it uhhuh you're going to have turn
both of your hand from the center yep
there you go and
P you put on the table you make another
year you see we already double the
noodle yeah yeah yeah this is very elasy
by the way doing that we're going to put
some a little more flour so avoid the
stickiness okay once we see some that is
bigger pieces we're going to put it
adust just repeating the same this looks
like Medusa's hair that's what I
got we'll use a counter just cut it up
then we'll get some of either Angel here
whatever size of
and we have to put into the pop po right
away so that it doesn't stick it doesn't
stretch out it doesn't it doesn't break
there you go well uh I don't know if
this is edible maybe this section is but
definitely not that not this one but we
can always reuse we can reuse it I'm
glad this can be a recycle thanks for
showing me know what we're going to do
next one we're going to go with your
favorite don't show me a yeah that is
one of my favorite ni noodle nice noodle
uh-huh wow this is very firm yep now
we're going to put SE it on to the wood
water and you just press it make sure
it's firm it's got to be very firm very
cold so when you cut it it flies away
now next you have got a handle that you
can grab this side you going to P to
your shoulder and this is a specialy for
the which you can do it similar to when
you are peeling an
apple one of your finger holding the nut
here and just press on the door and go

W you want to start from the beginning
to the end so you get a longer
noodle this take some practice too yes

heavy yeah it is thank you so much for
showing me Sam my pleasure I haven't had
this in a long time so I'm excited to
eat yep so I'm going to eat all that
that's all mine I don't want other
people to eat my deform noodles and then
I'm going to try some other stuff that I
I really missed about this place so
absolutely thanks so much Mike thanks
Mike and of course my buddy Phil is
joining me and you're going to take me
around to someone other Flo places here
today absolutely I'm super excited to do
it well we got to start with this and
Sean just opened a new location in this
hotel I just giddy because this is I
think the first Chinese beef noodle soup
I had when I first came to Vegas I love
it so much I'm so glad to see that do
the ding so well what did you get I got
the spicy pork belly noodle soup with a
handful of noodles and I got my favorite
which is the traditional beak noodle
soup and they made a spicy version for
this location a lot of people wanted it
a lot of people wanted it and there's a
line up well there's a line out the door
right now and it's about like 3:00 in
the afternoon today was a truly humbling
experience actually because Sam the
owner of this establishment ask if I
wanted to learn how to hold noodles I've
done it before a little bit I've done
buum noodles before which is much easier
have you done this before no no they've
asked me a couple times and I'm too
nervous but you know you got to hang out
at the end I saw you did like a it
looked spin it looked like a preschooler
playing with Play-Doh it was not pretty
but cheers my friend cheers let's
go
oh
yeah it's spot right oh
yeah there so much beef flavor in the
broth and that's what gets me right away
oh look at how tender this beef is they
cook this beef for 8 hours to extract
all that beautiful flavor just breaks
apart when you squeeze it with your
chopsticks yeah it's so good I love how
the N noodles really just cling to all
the flavors in there great texture and
chew I am a huge flavor person I like my
flavors aggressive so when I like my
beef noodle so I want a beefy this thing
noodles that flavor is soaked in the
spice level I didn't have to add any uh
chilies in here do you do Chinese
vinegar I learned that from you you
learned that from me do you add them or
not so halfway through I kind of add it
different you got to try it before
adding this I always add it because it
just gives it a lot more Umami in my
opin and I like to add pretty generous
amounts of Chinese vinegar here I
remember going to do it right off the go
it's going to be with Mike yeah wow I
appreciate
that I do like it
spicy yeah I love it spicy I just love
the nice chew of the thick texture of
these noodles you got the pork one yeah
first one's quite good it's a mix of
beef and chicken broth with a little uh
in sweetness finish to the
end all right excuse us I need to dive
HIIT first into this cuz I missed it so
much this is the D noodles with regular
tample
noodles texture so good yeah you really
do a great job with this it's my
favorite version in town is it yeah it's
so interesting how so many Chinese
places do it differently whether it's
how hot they serve it or the mint sport
they add a lot of heat in her yeah there
is a lot of heat in here wow did they
increase the heat inside here to me it's
still to the point where I love it I
want to eat it you got to prepare
yourself you come here you get this get
ready for the heat yeah the servers are
now warning guests when they come in and
order it it's so good Coke yeah it's
Rich it's very meaty little crunchy

bit now we're going going for some
Italian food this is like a roller
coaster with you it's a fun delicious
roller coaster we going around the world
in one place and this is all in the same
food cor yeah how crazy is this that
pretty cool this is Fella it's owned by
Mark vetri who's a famous chef in
Philadelphia for Italian food what I
love about this place are all the
handmade pastas I'm such a sucker for
handmade pasta anything they do some
great dishes here I'm excited for you to
try it out so we got the beef kacho
because this is the number one
recommended day we got the crab toast
homemade fukasha bread we got the uh
ratoni mafine dra Ragu horseradish that
sounds awesome sounds really
awesome I'm actually really excited for
this I love Italian food I love fresh
bread there's a lot of things to be
excited B this table this bread is
intense because they have these giant
trays of dough and because they make
this bread fresh throughout the day this
just came out of the oven's let's go
with the bread my gosh and little olive
oil and
vinegar like a cloud it's so fluffy as
we're chewing I hear somebody else in
the distance just going this bread is so
amazing it is so amazing wow you can
tell this is freshly big and it's just
like a little springy mattress well
let's try this this looks really really
delicate
m
oh way more flavor than I thought it was
going to be smoked and pickle mushrooms
I'm shook by this I tast some dry agess
with the pickles and then the shave qu
and the smokiness and then you got that
awesome richness from the
F oh that's so
crazy mind-blowing mind-blowingly good
we got to try this this looks really
really nice toast in the oven and then
giant chunks of Snow White crab it looks
like some
dill wow that crab is so sweet love the
herbs I love the toasted bread the lemon
just cuts through the richness and it
just gives a nice balance to the bread
and the crab this is some deep flavored
crab toast and as you chew you get some
of that herbiness yeah the different
things are just hitting you throughout
the bite there is some secret magic to
this all right we got two pastas in
front of us are you more into a red
sauce or a white sauce I've always been
a red sauce guy why tell me why I just
like the tanginess of the tomato and to
me growing up on the East Coast I like
the Italian style food and that red
sauce best represents that for me I love
red sauce as well mainly because I want
to dip my bread in it okay I I love you
know like I love dipping bread into the
red sauce so it's ratoni and meat sauce
basically sausage sausage R and plenty
of butter and they make this in house
every
day I love Ragu that's not overly
tomatoey or too sharp or too zesty this
is the perfect amount pasta is
incredible you can tell this is homemade
this reminds me of the regu I had in
Italy I chased out with some
bread this is the mafini it's a short
rib Ragu with horseradish which I think
it sounds really good I love it I love
it look at this what are we a Shan
noodle
again oh
wow this pasta texture just like the
other one beautiful rich and creamy DB
sh rib perfectly melty and adds more
richness to this pasta you can taste the
horseradish I think this place pasta is
the star as much as I love sh I still
like the the Ragu more personal
preference I love Ragu what do you think
I do maybe if we could get this pasta in
a red sauce it would be quite nice but
delicious delicious well thank you so
