From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucas Sin is a Hong Kong chef and food blogger.[1] Sin is the host of Street Eats, a Bon Appétit show documenting global street food.[2]

Born in Hong Kong, Sin attended Chinese International School. He graduated from Yale University in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in cognitive science.[3] He joined Junzi, a small Chinese restaurant chain based in Connecticut and New York, during his final semester at Yale.[4][5] In 2020, Sin opened Nice Day, a pop-up serving Chinese-American cuisine, in Greenwich Village.[6] He has since exited the restaurant group.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sin hosted a street-food series on YouTube for Bon Appétit and developed new restaurant concepts in response to industry disruptions. In 2020 he opened Nice Day, a Chinese-American pop-up restaurant in New York City, which aimed to reinterpret classic American Chinese dishes while addressing the economic challenges facing Chinese restaurants during the pandemic.[7][8]

During this period, he also launched creative initiatives such as delivery tasting menus accompanied by online demonstrations and educational content about Chinese cuisine, partly intended to counter anti-Asian sentiment associated with the pandemic.[9] Junzi Kitchen additionally provided meals to healthcare workers funded through donations.[10]

Sin later described the pandemic period as influential in shaping his focus on Chinese culinary heritage and American Chinese cuisine, which informed subsequent projects including media work and research travel.[11]

In 2024, Street Eats won the 2024 James Beard Foundation Broadcast Media Award.[12]
