LA restaurant loyalties bring Affleck and Washington to Eater's table
The actors visit Culina for "Let's Do Lunch," discussing Animals and their must-visit restaurants on both coasts.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington share hot takes on their favorite LA restaurants #food #losangeles
Culina Ristorante and Caffè is the meeting place, but the conversation ranges across Los Angeles and over to the East Coast. Eater's "Let's Do Lunch" brings Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington together to discuss Animals, which the episode description says was set and filmed in LA, along with the places they like to eat.
Their restaurant hot-takes clip is the most watched of Eater's three uploads this week, with roughly 400,000 views. It is also drawing substantially more daily views than the channel's other prominent videos. In the comments, viewers pick up on the pair's easy banter, joke about a fly sharing the occasion and ask for a longer serving of the conversation. One commenter singles out Washington's mention of Bludso's brisket.
The other new uploads take two different routes into restaurant life. "Why this is the ultimate thin crust pizza #pizza #food #recipe" follows Chrissy's Pizza chef Chris Hansell from Greenpoint to his favorite Long Island pizza stop, King Umberto's. The newest installment follows Daniel Chung's move from commercial banking into restaurant ownership. That video is paid partner content from Vanguard, rather than an ordinary editorial restaurant profile.
Beyond the celebrity lunch, Eater's Most-Ordered series has substantial momentum. At Nishaan in the East Village, Zeeshan Bakhrani combines chapli kebab spices, cilantro sauce and four cheeses in a Pakistani take on chopped cheese. That episode has passed three million views. Philadelphia's Middle Child Clubhouse supplies the other busy sandwich story: Matthew Cahn's homemade pancake-bun MidGriddle, alongside a pastrami, egg and cheese whose meat takes two weeks to prepare.
