"Drunk Eats: Williamsburg"
on a chilly Friday night.
Jonny Shipes on the check-in.
I have three of my favorite
spots picked out for you
and one wild card,
and I know Williamsburg
like the back of my hand.
I've lived here for seven years,
so follow me.
Aah, it's a hipster!
♪♪
La Superior -- fire tacos,
really, really good drinks.
The margaritas are mwah.
Yeah, this is where I wanted
to start off,
and I'm gonna fucking murder
about 17 shrimp tacos.
I've been coming here
for probably seven years.
It's one of my favorite spots.
This place is open
basically from noon
all the way through 2:00 a.m.
I heard it's your birthday.
-Yeah.
-Should we do a shot together?
-Yeah.
-Alright, that's what
I'm talking about.
Ooh.
Tequila!
Happy birthday.
-Thank you.
Cheers.
-Cheers.
Mmm.
Mmm-mmm-mmm!
This is the hibiscus margarita.
This is called a guava.
Here's a toast to myself
on a wonderful Friday night.
Yes.
They have arrived.
You're not gonna find better
jalapeño poppers than this.
Look. Look. Look.
Look at that.
Look at that.
If you came to play, go home.
Put the "do not disturb"
sign up, okay?
This is serious business
going on right here.
These are the spicy
shrimp tacos.
Mmm.
Mmm!
The mouth-orgasm pause
is next-level.
So this is just a nice flauta,
chicken.
What I'm about to show you
is where it really goes down
in the DM, okay?
This is turkey with bean.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
You want some?
Aah!
He doesn't want any.
Skrrr!
We have a poblano taco.
As you know,
I'm lactose intolerant,
so this is going to
fuck me up later.
Very creamy, a lot of peppers.
Uh-huh.
I wouldn't take you to anywhere
that I wouldn't eat personally.
This is it right here.
Get in me belly.
I'm just getting warmed up,
baby.
♪♪
I'm ready for my next spot.
Normally it's a Bentley,
but, you know,
tonight we take the van.
The best part of Williamsburg,
in my opinion,
is the community of it.
Fucking good vibes,
really good late-night spots.
Not even saying that
to sound cliché.
Like, I definitely have had
my fair share of nights
fucked up on these streets.
I live right there,
one block away.
I walked past this place
for a year straight.
It sounded too high-class
for me -- Cafe Mogador,
and I was like, "I don't know
if I really want to eat here."
One day, my girl said, "Oh,
we should go in here and eat.
It's wonderful. I heard it's one
of the best places."
Five years I kept coming back
after this
because the food is ridiculous.
Yo.
What's up, bro?
-How you doing?
-How you doing? You're good.
-Good to see you, Jonny.
-Yeah. Good to see you.
Hey. How you doing?
Good to see you.
-Good to see you, too.
-Can I get the falafel, please?
The Greek salad, the Bastilla.
And chicken kebabs with extra --
See, she knew about
the extra yogurt.
Let me get a glass of wine,
just, like, a nice white.
You might drink
a little Sauvignon Blanc
and then wash it down
with a falafel.
It's more highbrow here,
you know?
So I dress a little better.
Okay.
Now boom.
I do not eat salad,
but the salads here are so good.
You're probably saying
to yourself,
"This is an average chip."
There's nothing average
about that.
It's not your normal crouton.
We're gonna call this
a "cool-ton."
This spot stays open till 12:30,
which is interesting,
because most places
that stay open late,
you can get good food
but not great food.
And this is A1
Mediterranean food.
We're gonna go right
into the good shit -- falafel.
You want some sauce?
Dip it.
I could literally eat
30 of these at a time.
These are like Dunkaroos
except better for you.
This, my friends,
is a Sage Rush.
Mmm.
Almost as good as weed.
This is like a pastry, chicken,
with cinnamon and sugar
and some gravy sauce.
I don't go big on the gravy.
I just sprinkle a little on it.
Mm-hmm.
Better every time.
How you guys doing?
-Great.
-Is this your first time
eating here?
-No.
-No?
I was gonna ask what
the go-tos are for you guys.
-The wings.
-The wings?
Wow. Okay.
So they're that good?
What are your go-to drinks?
A Gold Rush?
Could I just get four
of your finest Gold Rushes
when you have a second?
One for me
and then three for them.
Thanks.
Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Happy Friday.
Right here.
Watch how I eat
my chicken skewers,
because I eat
my chicken skewers next-level.
This is where you go wrong.
You have to get everything
off the kebab, okay?
You don't eat them one by one.
You just pull it all off --
bang, bang, bang.
Dill with cream -- all of it.
An amateur might say,
"Oh, well, Shipes said
to put a whole bunch
of dill sauce on it,"
but you can't do both of them.
You take half the second one.
Skrrr!
The rest is done.
No more.
Hot sauce -- Regardless of
if you like shit spicy or not,
this is what make or breaks it.
So you just let it drip out --
boom, boom, boom, boom.
Bang bang, bang, bang.
[ Laughs ]
This is fire.
Oh, cheers. Happy Friday night.
-Happy Friday.
-I hope you guys
are getting fucked up!
-Congratulations to
the weekend, huh?
-Thank you. Yes.
I needed it bad.
So what did you get?
A big-ass bone, I see.
Hold the bone up.
'Cause that's a --
-You want the bone?
-That's a T-bone.
-That's the bone.
-That's a bone, baby, okay?
-Lamb shank.
-It was a lamb shank.
I'm in -- I feel that.
I feel -- I feel that.
-Oh, my bad. My bad.
-It's all good.
Don't cut that out, okay?
So I definitely
have struck again,
AKA brought you to
a really good late-night spot.

Word.
We are about to head
to The Commodore
and see what this fried chicken
sandwich is about.
Holler at your boy, and I'm
really eager to find out,
'cause I've never even
heard of this place.
So we'll see what's good.
Okay.
We are outside The Commodore.
Supposedly this chicken sandwich
is fire.
From the music that's vibrating
outside of the walls,
I'm expecting something frat-y.
I have no clue what to expect.
♪♪
♪♪
I'll be back.
That shit looks real deal.
Oh, I'm gonna fuck
that sandwich up.
I can already tell.
It looks like
it's gonna be fire.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, wow.
It's a little spicy.
Like, I don't even have
anything intelligent to say,
especially late at night.
I think it's about 1:30
right now.
I've had a few drinks.
This is it.
Now the nachos,
let me tell you about this.
Mouth orgasm.
Wow, wow, wow.
This is crazy.
I want to thank you for
putting me on to The Commodore,
and I mean that.
The Commodore is literally
my favorite spot tonight.
I am blown away by this place.
And I'm not even gassing it.
It's crazy.
I suggest you come here before
I come here and post up
and take a table 24/7,
because it might just happen.
I'll be in my Maybach.
Get me when you're ready.
We're gonna head to my favorite
pizza spot in all of Brooklyn.
Last time you saw me
do a cartwheel
was going into Lil Frankie's.
I only do it when I'm
super hype about things.
Oh, there it goes.
Whoo!
Yah!
Last spot of the night.
You're probably saying, "He has
no room left in his stomach."
Wrong.
We're gonna go in, and we're
gonna go buffalo slice,
chicken Parmesan slice,
plain slice,
and my favorite slice of all,
the mac and cheese slice.
You know, this is a Williamsburg
late-night eats,
but this is my favorite pizza
spot in all of Brooklyn, period.
So I'm hype right now.
Jonny.
-Juliana.
-What up? Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
You come here a lot?
-All the time.
This is my spot.
So is this your last stop
for the night,
or is this a pit stop?
-This is a refuel.
-Okay. I respect that.
-There's even some coffee
involved in this.
-Really? And then
you hit the town again?
-Right back.
-I'd fuck with you guys.
I like that.
So what are you doing out here?
-I'm a dancer.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
-She's gonna do
the Woo dance for us.
-You go like this,
like a figure eight.
-Whoa.
I just what, just --
-Figure eight, now in.
No.
-Whoa, right? No?
-No.
-Late-night pizza,
learning the Woo --
[ Gasps ] Are these my slices?
-Yeah. These are yours.
-I see the mac and cheese slice.
God, help me.
Look at the smile.
This isn't a fake smile.
Mmm.
[ Laughs ]
Mac and cheese
is my favorite food
aside from fried chicken
and pizza,
so when you combine these,
this is just heaven.
Buffalo chicken pizza.
Look at it.
Nicely placed chicken,
not too much,
little drizzle of buffalo sauce,
little drizzle of blue cheese.
Chicken Parmesan.
Really nice ricotta cheese,
as you can see.
♪♪
I waited all night for this.
We're at the homestretch.
Let me show you how to make a
real good slice of plain pizza.
A little Parmesan cheese.
Not too much.
Garlic powder.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm!
Somebody's girlfriend
isn't gonna want to kiss him
when they get home,
but I don't give a fuck.
What?
What?
Are you trying to decide
which slice to go with?
'Cause I could definitely
lead you in the right direction.
You know about this place?
-Yeah.
-Wow.
What are you ordering?
I'm just trying
to get with you --
-Regular slice
'cause I'm a regular bitch.
-Okay.
-Best motherfucking pizza
in Brooklyn.
-That's what I'm talking about.
Brrrr!
We came.
We saw.
We ate everything in sight.
I have no regrets.
I loved every meal
I ate tonight.
I hope you all enjoyed this.
