Our Story, and OTR's Anniversary Road Trip to Nonthaburi

Рет қаралды 17,317

Күн бұрын

On August 15, 2022, we posted our very first video- a rollicking drive around Nonthaburi in a road-grade golf cart. But the path to get to that filming was not an easy one. From being kicked out of our longtime home country to failing at a first filming attempt, simply rolling tape was an achievement.
So in honor of reaching one year, we look back on the sordid tale that got us here, while using the opportunity to explore deeper into Nonthaburi- Bangkok's historic neighbor-to-the-north- including finding one of the best markets in the country, and visiting an experimental restaurant attached to the infamous Bang Kwang Prison.

As one of the first 10 subscribers to this channel,Adam and I knew each other in China.....I feel pretty lucky to get to see my long time friend appear here every week. It’s amazing how you show all about how the foods of the area have evolved and morphed from the early days to current iterations . You have come a long way from that first time we met at Kros Nest, you having filled shoes that weren’t really full to begin with......to now a successful food historian and blogger on a world stage. It’s been a great year OTR team.....and I’m anxious to see what the next year holds.....be well Marlboro Man !

I remember when I opened my first restaurant in Beijing and in those first days, I never knew if we'd make any money, but I knew that I could count on two people (Frank and Liz, not that it matters, but just for the record) who would always swing by for a beer and a snack on their walk home from work. That was all. So at least we had a purpose in opening- we had our guaranteed two customers, and that was good enough to keep us doing the work, and eventually, more people found us, and the place ended up taking off. It was the same with this channel, even when it felt like we were shouting into the void, I knew when we'd upload a video in those first days that I could count on you and Terry Crossman (another old friend from the glory days in Beijing) to watch and comment and enjoy what we were doing. That kept us going, and I'm not exaggerating. Thanks for all your support and can't wait to catch up, either stateside or hopefully over here.

I stumbled on this channel 2 weekends ago and have been consuming a steady diet of 3-5 videos a day. Your videos hit the story-telling sweet spot for me between food, people, and history. This one about how you got started just made me smile because it is exactly in the spirit of one of your chefs explaining the origin and ingredients of a recipe. As a cook I am inspired to try my hand at these dishes, knowing how they came to be by the people trying to make something beautiful with what they had. Jaspar, Daria, and Adam -- thank you for all that you've done with this channel so far. I very much look forward to seeing how you refine and hone the OTR recipe.

Happy Anniversary to OTR! 🥳🍾🙌 Appreciate you introducing everyone behind the channel. Your background in journalism explains a lot, glad you’ve found the right posse to make it work even after the first hiccup with the professional team. It’s also very obvious that you’re passionate about food, your reaction to the curry paste signify pure joy and there’s nothing greater than that. You’re doing great in Thailand but I hope someday you’ll be able to go back to China and realize your old dream of writing about Chinese food as some sort of a closure if anything. And of course if you’re ever in town here in Indonesia I’ll gladly be your guide. Here’s to many more delicious stories in the future! 🥂

I love telling people about your videos. Every one of them is not just about the food, not just about the history, but an actual love letter to the people and the country of Thailand. From the first video of your team that I saw, I was fascinated. In parts, beautiful, funny, historic, thought provoking and deeply touching, your series is unlike any other I have seen. I can only hope that you inspire other content creators to find inspiration in their own communities, to reach across boundaries and borders, and to share the beauty and joy in something so aspirational and yet so humble as food. Cheers to your anniversary, and here’s to many more years! 🥂🎉

With your combination of skills and experiance, it's like you-all were destined for this, turning an awful situation into this great channel!

Keep up the good work and I can´t wait for the next videos!

Awesome recap. Your channel has completely changed my attitude towards Thai food. I wasn't a fan because I only ever had the American restaurants for Americans. I have since moved to Cambodia Town in Long Beach, CA, and among the many Khmer restaurants that abound here, practically around the corner of my apartment (it's on the same block) is a Thai/Lao restaurant. Thanks to your story on northern Thai food, I tried it out and it's fucking amazing. Thank you and your crew for opening my eyes and taste buds.

Congratulations OTR on your one-year anniversary! I just stumbled upon your channel by accident or maybe not by accident because I’ve been a long time follower of Chinese cooking demystify. I really love Chris’s funny comments on his channel. Comments maybe a lot of Asian people wouldn’t get such as he MacGyver that. I found OTR very interesting not just a food channel but the history of food inch Thailand in other countries such as Burma and China. Here’s to more years of your history and food success.

This episode of OTR came really close to my home, the school on the right at 26:54 is probably 2 km from my home. But the best part is the New York Diner that you guys went to have breakfast, I never knew that existed until the day this video is uploaded. I tried going there today, the owner is super nice and remembers you guys, also the food there is delicious and reasonable price. Thank you so much to OTR for filming this video and introducing me to this amazing cook shop near my home.

Just want to say awesome job to Adam and the team. Although I have been living in the Southeast US for the past 16 years, I was born and raised in Thailand until I was a teenager. Your coverage of some Bangkok neighborhoods really brought back a ton of good memories. My family, on my father's side, is Chinese. They have a small house near Chao Phraya and an old residence of a Queen which is now a museum (also near the area where they shot the famous chase scene in Tomorrow Never Dies). It is very nice to see someone giving the old town a spotlight. When I found your channel, I couldn't believe some of the places I used to frequent as a kid have gotten so popular. There are a lot of things, I think, that many travelers don't know about Bangkok cuisine (E.g. the fact that it is a large melting pot of many different cultures that settled there in the past hundreds of years), and I really appreciate OTR for covering this and other aspects of Thai cuisine in general. Anyway, I wanted to keep this short but I love the channel. Keep up the good work.

A Nonthaburi native since 1978 living in Pak Kret and worked about 7 km from this prison for 20 years, I don't know that this infamous prison now has run a restaurant. Ten years + ago, I biked around this area practically every weekend and quit doing this 10 years ago, preferring to venture far out to Ayutthaya, Nakhon Prathom etc. It's time to revisit this area and chill out at the prison-run restaurant.

Visit Koh Kret, an islet surrounded by Chao Phraya river which features reclining Chedi. There are plenty of Mon ethnic in Pak Kret. Further down at Muang Thong Thani, there is a bike path underneath the expressway leading to Suan Somdej Park. Inside there is also a bike/walkway path. You can park your car in front of the park gate beneath the expressway. Nearby is the famous Muang Thong United football stadium. In fact, Muang Thong Thani is famous for its largest convention space in Thailand. There is also a National Tennis Center which holds local tournaments regularly.

We were inspired by you guys to check out Mahaseth (my wife's cousin's husband's sister's best friend's restaurant... that's a mouthful). I love the way you guys tell stories. It's really cinematic in scope, and also pulls in from your personal stories... reminding me a bit of Anthony Bourdain's early travel logs. Keep up the great work and I hope we get a chance to connect in person at some point! P.S. I lived in BKK for a year-and-a-half as a tent maker of sorts.

Thanks for the kind words. By the way- we edited out of the last draft but one section that had been in this video was talking about what we’d planned to do if we could have moved anywhere- daria and I were hoping to move to Cape Town...we were gonna set up a brewery and restaurant down there. Best city on the planet, at least that was our experience there. And yeah- the great thing about F&B is it teaches honesty and accountability. I love that. You have to do the job or it doesn’t get done, can’t BS anything. Show me anyone who’s an F&B person and I know that’s someone I can trust and depend on in anything.

Yea Cape Towns a Vibe I spent 2009-2018 in the F&B industry there 😉. Brewery gurus in the mother city hit up Ross from "Jack Black" or Nick from "Drifter Brewery"@@OTRontheroad . Though I think your spoilt for Choice is Asia

One of you guys' best. Great to hear your own histories, plus see the old clips. Nice to see what brought you to this place and time, and this reminds me of two of my favorite sayings: "Food is life, food is love", and the second is "I'm just here for the food". Was just corresponding with my oldest and closest friend earlier today and I wrote about my personal take on Asia. I mentioned Shangri La from the novel by James Hilton and the movie with Ronald Coleman (which I happened to catch the last fifteen minutes of this afternoon). Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, and specifically Thailand and Viet Nam and Laos are most certainly my own Shangri La, and I still hope to get back there one day or weeks or months in the near future. Kudos to you and Daria and Jasper for this, hope you keep sharing videos beyond your new restaurants/diners, and wish you all the best. And I have to add that I'm glad you went back to the six panel baseball cap with a curved brim.....that makes it real. PS - you mentioned that Daria is running a beer company now, and as a confirmed and inveterate beer drinker, I would love to know the brand and if its available elsewhere somehow.

@OTRontheroad 10 ай бұрын

Daria's doing other independent branding and marketing work now- her beer company days were back in China. The brands she used to run were Shanghai's Boxing Cat (since absorbed by AB-InBev) and Hong Kong's Young Master, though both of us were highly involved in promotion of the Chinese craft brewing scene in general. Drink any Chinese-made craft beer (at least, the ones that aren't new corporate-designed-as-craft ones) and we'll be happy to hear it.

Good to know, although I'm a Bud Light guy at my age. Gotta keep my slim figure. Looked at your New York Diner menu; you gotta have hash 'n' eggs on the menu to make it authentic. I'm anxious to see how it fares over the first few months. Good luck with your venture. 👍@@OTRontheroad

@OTRontheroad 10 ай бұрын

@@eswillie oh I think you misunderstood- the New York Diner was where we visited on the program in Nonthaburi. My own diners are called Starling, in southern China. However I cannot vouch for anything about their food/menus now- it's changed a ton since I left. That's a subject for another day. However I wish you'd seen it in the glory days. What a place that was

Hey OTR, love the content! The song that starts coming to the forefront at about 2:20, is that from Adventure Archives KZfaq channel? I feel like I've heard it in one of their videos and know they make most of their music. Just curious.

@OTRontheroad 7 ай бұрын

Hey, all of our music comes from a subscription service called SoundStripe. Not sure who adventure archives is but it’s very possible they subscribe to the same source!

Thanks so much. 我肯定想回中国做一些影片儿！可是现在不容易。So many stories I'd love to tell- the thing about Chinese food is that EVERY village or town has its own unique dishes and traditions. I'd literally never run out of material for fascinating stories.

Sucks for Daria to be so accused, but lucky for all of us! Also, "You're Russian so you must be here Illegally,"? someone must really want her job. Or a bribe.
