I am pregnant right now and all I want is seafood. I have to be careful though. Seafood is one of those things that ur told to avoid as much as possible while pregnant.
This was a really good episode. Since he got married Mikeys been transitioning into a new phase of his life, don't get me wrong I'm not saying anything negative it happens to everyone, but he has been reviewing more casual fare. This one definitely felt like one of his older episodes where he was trying all sorts of stuff you can't just pick up at your local fast food or steakhouse.
People always forget that Mexican cuisine is more than just tacos, don't get me wrong, I love tacos, but the country is between the Atlantic and the Pacific, plus the gulf; when it comes to seafood, dear lord, it is so freaking amazing.
Literally no one that I’ve ever met has expressed that Mexican food is just tacos. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you’re from the USA. I’m sorry for your loss
@@jonathanfinan722 Jesus your past comments are just you hating on the USA, I’m fine with people criticizing it, but some people just hate on it. It gets annoying at a point
I live in San Antonio texas. There’s so many different way of making tacos and so many different ways to put protein. So far I am addicted to barbacoa taco with cheese.
I like this because its different. When you think of Mexican food, you think beef, pork, and chicken - but mexican seafood is surely at the top of my list because I like Mexican and Seafood - nice combo.
When you were eating the sandwich, I really sensed that you were in your happy place, Mike! When I go to Hawaii, this fall, I'm going to seek out Mom n' Pop Filipino joints to eat at, as well as Jollibee, because of you raving about Jollibee! Another wonderful video, as usual, sir!
@@MaskedRiderChris since you’re staying in town, you should try Sweet E’s Cafe or Cafe Kaila for breakfast/brunch. If you want some seafood I would recommend Ono Seafood or fresh catch. Definitely go to zippys. If you’re going to the beach & want some snacks, stop by 7Eleven and Don’t go to any ABC store to buy anything, they’re expensive asf. A very popular bakery spot for locals and tourists is Leonard’s Bakery for some malasadas (if you haven’t tried them, YOU NEED TO!!!). If you want good affordable sushi, go to Genki Sushi. Overall, I would say just try to venture away from the Waikiki area if you want real authentic local food. You could also ask the locals around for any other food recommendations near by that are good and affordable.
Alot of central and south american counties call limes " lemons" and vic versa....depends where u are, but ive seen it numerous times, at first I was confused lol
For the folks that are interested in the French Market, it is located under the Chicago Union Station track platform and so you don't necessarily have to drive to Downtown Chicago, you can take the Metra. I personally found the French pastry in the Market excellent.
“Luckily we have a lot of family here to help.” Family has to wait patiently off camera, stomach growling, while Mike eats everything. 😝 (ok he meant takeaway, calm down people. Yeesh)
Curiously in Mexico sea food and cheese (or any thing derived from milk except butter) didn’t get mixed, there’s a belief that is a good thing for stomach and will get you sick. But recently there is very common to have some things like shrimps and oysters grilled with Parmesan cheese
Hey Mikey, next time you’re in Chicago, try Conte di Savoia in Little Italy for the best Italian sandwich! Make sure to get “The Frank”, so good every time!
Makes me so happy watching Mickey enjoy the food of my country! Come to Jalisco and I will personally take you to the best most traditional birria tatemada I aver tasted in over 3 decades of living here.
I just started a fasting diet over the last few days...this video was both a bad and a great decision to watch. Love the video's. I want seafood so bad right now! Gotta stay strong! :)
From the UK and I really thought I heard Mike say at the very beginning that he was going to go for a run around "London" I've listened about 6 times and it still sounds just like it!
I would have definitely helped you out eating all that seafood. Love all of your channels, just keep up the great work and enjoy the quest for food knowledge.
Hi Mikey! Love the videos. I just heard that the famous sandwich shop All'antico Vinaio now has a location in New York. Just a heads up. Keep up the good work!
I worked at a restaurant before and at most I can only handle 4 burners at once and that already requires maximum concentration for 1 dish to not get burned. That guy was cooking with like 12 of them at the same time what a god.
Allegrias Seafood is the best Mexican seafood restaurant in the US. It is comparable to regional italian, Chinese. It is a specific special region. The huge platters are such a familia event!!!!
This looks soooooo good, but how does it taste cold because there is no way that it stays warm for that long. They should have a clear cover over each section to keep it warm.
It's excellent you review places that are very appealing and not purveyors of strange, gross things or starred restaurants with absurdly small portions.
I realized that every time Mike eat food, I never see him with any beverages, not even a glass of water. The only time I see him drinking beverage is after eating a huge meal and getting something light like a dessert or tea... interesting.
At buffets he’ll usually order any interesting mocktails on offer. And usually he’ll get a drink if it’s something exclusive or new to the restaurant… but other than that, I think you’re right!
Its been since 2009 or 2010 since Ive been in Chicago. I went for thr last Aventura concert 🥳 I ate at a place called Veneno and it was delish 😋 😍 Mexican seafood is my favorite!
That chef’s multitasking skills were on ANOTHER level 🙌
Had me in aww with how many pans he was working and then the dude went to plate 💀👏 timing was absolutely insane
That was amazing. And those flames 🔥 all over. I’d definitely burn myself with those flames and shuffling all those pans.
Weren't they just! I'm super proud when I cook Christmas Dinner for 14 people - I'm in the UK so it's only a bigger turkey roast! 😆🙈
so was the amount of country crock he used. yikes. no wonder the food was “rich”

It makes me proud as a filipino that whenever u get a chance to eat our food... You don't pass on it....🥰🥰🥰
Towards the very end there’s a nice little segment where Mikey literally pokes beef for over a minute. 😂 idk why but I found that really funny

I'm a big fan and I'm a big fan of seafood
I love all of your videos keep up the good work
Wow! That song around 4 minutes is really inspiring and made me feel better today. Thank you Mikey!
Not even 1 minute and I'm already drooling over GIANT MEXICAN SEAFOOD FEAST
Wish I can just grab it out of the screen and chow down
*Delicious!! 😍 😃 I love the colors of the delicacy you are having!! They look so yummy! I do Love it!*
The seafood had Mikey all excited, at 7:50 he put lime juice on the fried fish and he called it lemon juice.
Alot of central and south american counties call limes " lemons" and vic versa....depends where u are, but ive seen it numerous times, at first I was confused lol
that cooking was off the hook , keeping time on those dishes amazing skill

MIKEY!!!!!!! The cure for depression!
Filipino beefsteak uses lemon juice or kalamansi juice to make it sour not vinegar
Can we take a moment for the bit of ice cream that slid down the side of Mikey's glass to be lost forever

Travelling throughout the Philippines, the food on Luzon uses more vinegar. If you go towards the Visayas and Mindanao it tends to be less acidic.
Surely Aquaman and Poseidon wouldn't enjoy eating their own subjects and people 😂 Great video once again though
But what would they eat though? They can't survive on a diet of sea kelps.
They need to have heat lamps over the table for that amazing spread.

He did say that. He was probably in London at the time. In another recent video he mentioned being in France too, so I think he's visiting Europe now.

Hi Mike for the sandwich you have to go to New York where they have just open an original branch of the "all'Antico Vinaio".
I love how they just have tubs of butter ready at hand
Amazing seafood feast! Thanks Mike Chen for making me drool again🤤🤤
