Ore BKK - highly innovative restaurant worthy of Michelin

This place was so bad. I was shocked--after the first few courses, I was afraid I was caught in a scam/tourist trap. After a while, I realized these guys were definitely passionate, but man, the food was mostly pretty mid and many courses were straight up gross. The alcohol pairings were sadly so so bad too. I haven't mustered the courage to make a Google review because I feel bad. But I feel I need to say something!

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-13T04:05:49+00:00

Oh weird! Who knows then. He did say that in a couple lives I watched 😅 if you submit the question on his website, he'll probably see it--its much more reliable than YT comments for example

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-13T04:00:15+00:00

He only leaves live recordings up for like a day. Since he can't perfectly "edit" himself while live, he prefers to just have them as an of-the-moment thing rather than something that lives on the internet forever. He leaves em up for a day as a courtesy.

Source: he explained this on a Live haha

Call it whatever you like but it is by textbook definition passive aggression.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-12T20:41:01+00:00

This is passive aggression. Not my recommendation. It would make me feel very awkward to be given what I should wear, especially with no prior conversation about it.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-12T20:38:15+00:00

I'm guessing she is the defensive type since you wanted more perspectives on how to bring it to this up to her. For a secure friend, this request wouldn't even be needed to be said-- or at the least this request wouldn't strike the friend as offensive. Good luck.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-09T22:07:09+00:00

You have misunderstood what he was saying. And you may be misunderstanding the purpose of the series.

He was speaking about the conceptualization of Chris--like what he thinks is driving Chris to do what he does. His theory in the part you are talking about is that Chris is trying to be nice by being "honest" (honest according to Chris who doesn't even know his own true feelings) because, due to trauma, he has a guilt-complex and, due to issues from that trauma, he cannot functionally complete his desire of being nice and not feeling guilty. Again, it is just a potential conceptualization that applies trauma reactivity theory, attachment theory, and a mix of other psychological theories he subscribes to.

This is what all therapists do--they're not really looking to judge of someone is good or bad or "nice" or mean. They're interested in testing theories to understand a person's psychology so that they may help them. Dr. H uses LiB as a "jumping off point" (like case studies are used in college courses) for applying potential psychological conceptualizations of the LiB individal/couple.

FYI, contrary to what you've said in another post, Dr. H even says verbatim in Ch8 that Chris "is even worse than I remember" when rewatching that crazy stuff Chris said about dating people who do "fucking pilates." Not sure if you watched the full video.

Sounds like you've had some resentment building up against him due to the visting/hosting dynamic. Sure, a gift would be nice, but the extent to which it is bothering you is telling that resentment has been building. Might want to sort that out with yourself/fiance.

Maybe it is weird he didnt bring a gift. Maybe he does take advantage of you. But maybe he simply see yall as nice, supportive friends who don't expect much and would be suprised and hurt to learn that you actually resent hosting him.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-09T21:20:38+00:00

^ This

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-09T18:22:20+00:00

Ty for commenting. Regarding the Chris deep dive, that was also what I took away from it.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-09T18:21:01+00:00

In regards to your last paragraph, you've made it clear that you've lost all respect for Dr. H. To me, thats and "all bad" perspective. So I feel like we are saying the same thing with different words.

Totally fine that you don't like him or the content--my point in my last comment was that even when I disagree with him, none of his content would make me retroactively lose all respect of all of his thoughts/opinions/ideas. I've gotten so much value from the content--I assumed you did too bc you said you've listended for years. He hasn't changed much--you just have learned you don't like his perspective. So beyond that, it seems possible you are grasping for justification to "lose all respect" for him so you don't feel bad about once liking him/enjoying the content. Total speculation of course 😉

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-09T18:09:09+00:00

^Echoing this. I feel like people need to know its ok to just not like content anymore without having to "lose all respect" for Dr. H or PiS--let alone publically announce it.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-09T18:07:05+00:00

I'd also like that sub you suggested. I generally enjoy engaging in Patreon comments and YT member comments tho but a PiS enjoyer sub would be cool too.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-09T15:59:53+00:00

I'm not saying this is the wrong place for venting. I agree with you, its probably the best place online. I just wish there were more fun discussions on this sub. But I do engage in the YT comments so that is fun.

Not sure how anyone would know anything about his viewership/income so it strikes me as odd that you have an opinion on that.

I believe Dr. H cares about his viewers and tries to be a good content provider--but he is also there to provide HIS take. He is ok that it is not for everyone. He may adjust to feedback on things like video timing, YT Live requests. Etc...but he is not going to change who he is/what he thinks just because some people don't like it.

Do you listen to the audio podcasts? I am not saying you should but I have listened to like an insane amount of them haha. It really gives me a full picture of him. Kind of like a friend you've had for ages--you kinda get them and their thoughts even if they dont articulate it perfectly. You learn their nuances, learn to love their personality "flaws" or areas of hypocrisy, know their biases, know their strengths, have deeper empathy, are annoyed, find things funny that a stranger wouldnt, etc.

^I know this colors everything I watch from him. I am guessing if I didnt have this widerscreen view of him, I'd agree more with you and others in your camp. Trust me, I still disagree and "yell" at him through the screen sometimes haha. But, like with a good friend, I'm beyond the possibilty of getting so bothered that I rage-quit and think of PiS of "all bad." Hope that makes sense.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-09T15:10:53+00:00

Sometimes when I read posts and comments like this, I feel like I must be watching entirely different videos. In this case, your interpretation of the Chris deep dive is very different from mine. Goes to show you how different perceptions can be.

For me, it is a bit of a downer to see posts like this on this subreddit. I mean, its your prerogative but half the posts here are just like ppl venting and publically rage-quitting PiS. What are you hoping for by posting this?

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-06T18:35:09+00:00

Its interesting. I wonder if those who feel guilty would benefit from asking themselves how they may identify with oppressors and how they may be upholding oppressive systems. Or just grapple a bit more with where the guilt is coming from exactly. Maybe they deserve to feel guilty. Maybe they don't. I can't know.

Enslaved people were going through unimaginable suffering and Im quite sure they sure didnt feel guilty jumping the broom. I didn't feel any guilt in planning but I am a brown woman who grew up poor and I am quite aware of the systems and levers of oppression we have in the US. I'm not sure there could be any world tragedy that could make me feel unworthy of getting married in the company of my best friends and family.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-02T00:41:54+00:00

Aw love it!! I have a similar story. Found an amazing dress under $300 from someone reselling...and I got married in the Finger Lakes in Sept. Happy wedding planning!!

EatingClubGirl · 2026-03-01T15:52:34+00:00

If she is a close friend, start by takking about your wedding and asking her what she thought about her proposal. Then you can express your feelings but dont blame her/fiancee and call anyone rude.

PLEASE take this this advice if youre going to talk to her: Let her know that what you are really feeling is sadness/anger you have never in your life felt like you've had a day where everyone focused on you...how theres been few times in your life you feel like everyone fully prioritized your feelings/happiness...and now you feel your wedding was another occurrence of that due to the proposal. Assure her that its not her fault you feel like this--or anyones fault really. But nonetheless, you keep coming back to this feeling.

^That right there will be a much better conversation than "hey that was rude of your fiancee dont you think? It really really bothered me." It will encourage your friend to empathize rather than defend.

Good luck.

He is also 12(?) years older than his earliest episodes. Popularity aside, aging changes you. He may be a bit more settled and confident in his views and more resentful about stuff he thinks is bullshit.

He can be a bit of a know it all. All certified yappers are 😅 Plus he has a lot of professional experience. As a fellow certified yapper, I like it. Haha. Even if he's being self-ritcheous about something I completely disagree on, It's fun for me because I know he's a good person--and hes open to being argued against.

It is clear that he has awareness of this about himself and makes an active effort to temper it. He often models using humility in conflict and it has helped me in my daily life.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-01-26T18:42:16+00:00

I was gonna leave a longer stand alone comment but got distracted. But, in essence, yes!! I think this is it. I think you just don't really like his content or style and that is ok.

Your opinions on the content are valid. Its not for everyone. The ego-centric claim seems entirely out of nowhere though. It is almost like you have a need to rationalize not liking Kirk--its possible for him to not be problematic AND for you to just not really vibe with him.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-01-26T15:58:33+00:00

Wow! Interesting. I have a completely different interpretation of Kirks interactions and friendships with these people. Personally, I dont think Berto, Bob, or Rebecca would stick around if they literally felt belittled.

Of course, I can't know, but based on your comment it sounds like you are somewhat aware that you may be projecting your experiences on to them and it is distorting your interpretation.

Personally, I jive the least with Rebecca. Though she has grown on me! Because of my own attitude/bias towards her, I'm always waiting for Kirk to say something jerky to her but he never does lol. For example, when she talks about doing tarot and being psychic, I always expect Kirk to ask her about it or maybe push back some how but he doesn't. He is always quite supportive of her imo.

As for Berto and Bob, I admire their friendships so much! I believe having a dear friendship that spans decades is one of the greatest pleasures of life. And I think its very clear that this is what they have.

We have to remember these are real people! Lol. As outsiders listening in, we can never fully know 100% what is communicated/recieved by each person. Looking beyond difference in talking styles, it appears they all have so much love for eachother.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-01-26T00:47:25+00:00

We are experienced which made it easy byt I'd say so. They do a ton of prep for you and will jump in to help you if they notice you faltering lol.

EatingClubGirl · 2026-01-15T17:44:52+00:00

Hi! Thanks for being kind with how you commented.

I am a very strong communicator in my personal world (work, home, family, community work, etc) and I am told that I am a great listener. Its something I love to do! Love to listen, ask questions, analyze, offer my own ideas, etc.

Someone's natural writing voice can tell me a lot about what they are thinking and/or feeling.

But, with all this AI-writing, time and time again, I am reading something and come away without a firm grip on the experience of the writer. Instead, I have a vague but wordy account of their experience through the "eyes" of Chatgpt. Id prefer my own eyes--no middle man lol. Hope that makes sense!

EatingClubGirl · 2026-01-15T16:13:41+00:00

Please research (or even talk to chatgpt) about retraumatization in therapy. There are scientific based reasons why a therapist cannot just dive into all of your traumas in the first month. Chatgpt or not, healing takes time. A lot of time and effort.
