“This is so problematic. You know I could get canceled over this? Oh my god, I’m going to get canceled for this. It doesn’t even matter what I answer. I would say dim sum…is that the most popular answer?”

Food content creator Steven Lim gave a thoughtful answer: “Sorry guys, it’s sushi. I could eat that everyday. You get variety with dim sum so I can see that as my second. KBBQ, lots of other cultures have similar things to KBBQ, so that’s in last place for sure. Hot pot, I’m down for, that’s my Thanksgiving meal, but it’s sushi all day. 

The cast of “Kung Fu

The “Kung Fu” cast members argued with one another.
Shannon: “Hot pot.”
Olivia: “Sushi.”
Eddie: “Hot pot goes because it’s a bit unhygienic for me. Saving one? This is a ridiculous question.   
Shannon: “It’s messed up.”
Ben: “Sushi. Sushi for Ben Levin.”
Shannon: I keep sushi, and hot pot has to go — no, I keep hot pot, and uhh — Oh no! Nevermind. I’m not answering this question.
Eddie: “I’m gonna keep dim sum.” 

Stephanie Hsu

“Everything Everything All at Once” star Stephanie Hsu chose to play her own game with the choices: F*ck, marry, kill.
“I know you gave me rules, but I’m gonna break them because that’s just how I am. I’m gonna marry hot pot, I’m gonna F sushi and I’m gonna kill dim sum. Dim sum, I like it, but I don’t love it. Hot pot, sushi and KBBQ, honestly, they just make me nourished. Dim sum, I’m like I want maybe an egg tart, I don’t need 7,000 options.”
So the final verdict?
Dim Sum: 4
Hot pot: 4
KBBQ: 1
Sushi: 6
Stephanie Hsu: Marry hot pot, f*ck sushi, kill dim sum.
