Hahaha I love how Sonny literally says "there's a dessert called Kunafeh" and then 2 seconds later when he sees it he calls it bleep bloop lol
It's called Osmalia, Kunafa is different in Lebanon
lol
Oh how funny was that haha absolute garbage
I love kunafeh ❤
This is 3esmaliye and not knefe
Here in Brazil we have a huge Lebanese community, so Lebanese food is very popular. Lebanese food is amazingly rich and varied
Really?.. Which area of Brazil has this? I want to visit.
@@cheekyape Lebanese food is popular all over the country, but if you want to really experience the best Lebanese food available, you have to go to São Paulo.
@@dantedias4064I got robbed in Sao Paolo
@@israelchavez269 It can happen in every major city in the world, specially if you´re incautious. I was robbed in NY
I wonder what made them settle in Brazil?
I went to Lebanon with my mom and it was unbelievably beautiful and the FOOD is off the charts!!!
❤❤
Comeback🇱🇧🙂
@@flareeasy8863 We are planning too!!! :) What a lovely country Lebanon is. My family is really excited about visiting it!
You’re Welcome Anytime
@@Sara-wb2bs that's sounds good
I love your humour and the fact that you're showcasing Lebanon. May I suggest one thing: Always "open" the bread before putting ingredients on it. I mean, tear the two sides apart. It makes the bread thinner and reveals the inside which is rougher and holds on to the ingredients.
Sonny.. Concerning the artichoke..
You peel the leaves off, rub the meaty edge in butter and adds abit of salt, then eat it...
We use mayo and some cilantro and lime or chili with it when I grew up eating it, he also didnt take the fuzzy middle part out correctly to eat the artichoke heart and that looked like a HUGE amazing artichoke.
the meaty edge....
Super happy to see you enjoying Lebanese food! One cannot simply have enough toum! 😁
Thanks for the exposure, Sonny! Much love from Lebanon!
It’s good to see that you point out what makes each side so different from the other ones, and how you approach each dish ,on how everything works together to create a great meal.
Sunny , that is not a sausage. It’s cow intestines filled with meat and rice like the haggis. So glad you came to Lebanon, i hope you enjoyed the food ❤
"Sausage" sounds more appetizing, but I must say there doesn't seem to be that much difference.
actually they're lamb intestines
That's exactly what a sausage is lol . Just because it's stuffed with different meat or food , or called something different it is still a : intestine stuffed which is what a sausage is.
@@vengeancewillbemine3440 ye i see the confusion. the difference is that, that particular dish is made will a whole intestines stuffed with rice and not separated and segmented ( noting some peaces might be 30 to 40 cm ), along with the actual stomach also filled with the same filling. So not a sausage.
As a Scotsman, I'm glad we're not alone in eating food like haggis
I worked in a Lebanese family in Dubai, Lebanese food is rich, sumptuous and delicious loved it❤❤❤
*with a
Too sweet
❤❤❤
wrrr
My moms Lebanese and my Grandmother told me stories of the old country. I'm hoping to get there one day!! For a long time, it wasn't safe, but it looks like it's getting safe again!!
It’s safe! Come visit 🇱🇧
Even during periods of war, it's safer than many places in the US...
as a swedish lebanese ..this video makes me happy and proud ..thank you sonny ..finally ..people ..go to lebanon ..you will be amazed .
❤❤
Yeah bro am from Lebanon too
So glad as an American lebanese to see you made it to Lebanon! Please go out into the streets and try the real deal lebanese food like shish tawook, shawarma, batata harra, falafel ,araq ma raw meat!
Shawarma is Palestinian food actually
@@Benny-ho9pi every body eats shwarma there is no arab country with no shawarma
@@Benny-ho9pi Actually? lol
@@Benny-ho9pieverything is Palestinian buddy ok 👍🏽 يلا مشي
Everyone tries to claim good ole "shwarm" but no body knows since they're long dead. And who cares. We don't even know who really did what or where with anything thousands of years ago "first" since we weren't even there. Since humans have been around millions of years no one can claim they did anything first. It sure as death wasn't the Palestinians. Like the so-called "wisest man who ever lived" King Solomon said, "there is nothing new under the sun". Selah. Get off your imaginary cultural high horse or unicorn. Whatever imaginary "first man, native" non sense divisive, false pride kick you get on.
If you travel to Lebanon I guarantee you won't ever leave, amazing food, amazing people, and just all around amazing!
Thanks mate ❤
Only the food is good, otherwise shitty streets, angry people, smells like shit everywhere, small country yet you need whole day to get into your destination, no electricity, everything is expensive, you can't get your way without wasta in every single transaction, this is all fine expect you could get killed at every moment even in your own home
@@matissparadise5799 you obviously haven't been there, by the way you need to forgive who ever hurt you
daim i am sorry you had such a bad experience, its true many of us are angry, just like any other country, and thats why not all of us are angry people :/ regarding the electricity, we now have good electricity. Maybe you were unfamiliar with what was going on. When we lost our electricity, we were going through a huge economic crisis and now we are starting to get out of it. If you decide to come back, id love for you to hit me up, and I will tour you around myself. Cheers Matis
@@matissparadise5799
@@matissparadise5799 You are talking about afgahnastan not lebanon LMAO
Some of that food looked absolutely delicious. You're a lucky guy to be able to visit all these places and eat thier food. I love food.
Wouldn't call him lucky, he worked for it
@@nikhils6042 I worked really hard for a guitar I've always wanted and I consider myself lucky to have it now.
@@nikhils6042it's both luck and work
The grilled chicken you tried is called Tawouk and the Toum is what we usually eat it with . Chicken and toum, huge thing in lebanon 🇱🇧
great video! You should group the videos based on continent on your playlist section. That way if someone wants to watch videos on Asia or Africa or USA, they can click the playlist and get all the videos in that area
That “raw meat” is kibbeh which varies in how it’s prepared and seasoned. Also don’t just eat it by itself, put it on some flatbread and/or add dip and some onions or other vegetables. Glad you enjoy the food!
just wishing for Lebanon to be healed and once again shines, amazing people, pure heart, caring loving, yet overwhelmed from all what is happening, peace and love for this broken country!
That food all looks delicious. I would happily spend $50 to try all that.
As a lebanese, I approve this bleep bloop... most of what you had are things you'd see in family homes as casual meals.
So happy to see you in my country! Next time you need to bring a lebanese with you 👀 they can really help with food description and how some dishes must be eaten
Thanks for visiting our beautiful country Lebanon 🙏
This guys commentary is the funniest out of all food shows, hes so hilarious
The fact that a video THIS good and well edited is second channel content is wild to me! Amazing!
I always love sonny side humor...I am always smiling while watching I'm your fan from the Philippines
Omg the butt crack behind Sonny @ 10 minute mark! Lmfao 🤣
Sonny, my absolute favourite food and travel vlogger. Best commentaries each time, very entertaining and informative, respectful too. Keep it up, we love your content. 😊😊😊😙😙
I can watch Sonny all day he's so animated. He really loves his job. ✌️
Alhamdulillāh finally in Lebanon! Hopefully Morocco soon!
Inshallah Sooryia too
Inshallah Iraq too
Morocco
I'm half Lebanese half Moroccan, sounds perfect to me
@@Malikehsooriya? You mean Syria? 😀 I'd love it if he visits Syria 💯
There are lots of hidden gems in Lebanon you'll have amazing time here, the lambs usually comes with tahini sauce and there are other appetizers other than cheese roll like the one with triangle shape it has spinach inside and there's also others stuffed with meat and the kibbe
The suburbs food in lebanon is more mysterious and the weirdness of it would be funnier than a buffet in a 5 star hotel for this channel!! Love from lebanon 🇱🇧
I want to visit Lebanon now. JUST for this buffet.
It's a rubbish country
its not that great
@@SARAH_1LEE ur sad 😂
@@xPayana yo mama
You are welcome at anytime
As a leb I found it funny when you tried figuring out what the food is, you made my day with this video
❤❤
I am so happy that you made it in my country!! I hope there is more videos to cover our food and traditions!
Thank you Sonny for visiting Lebanon
Watching this from Beirut!!! Love to see that you made it here and wish I had the chance to cross paths with you. All the love from Lebanon 🇱🇧 ❤
lots of their quisine looks very similar to greek dishes I know and love from going on holiday to traditional greek villages their was an old dude who would always share his dolmados the vine wrap with rice and herbs on the inside very nice high energy treat for sure :D great for when ya gonna be swimming for 6 hours hahaha
The dessert is called Baklava which has lots of pistachios… its available in more arabic countries n also in India…
Sonny is hands down the greatest find on youtube....every show leaves me so damn hungry....and Sonny is just the greatest
Thank you Sunny, I would love to try some of those dishes. Yummy😋👍🇯🇲❤️
Go to the Arnaoon Village in Batroun they have tables and tables of the best all you can eat buffet! 50 bucks as well but it’s an all day event and they have tons of cool things to try and do! It’s a family fun atmosphere but a foodie’s dream come true and I know that’s what you live for! Please give us more Lebanon footage!
And some good hash*
Man!! You missed on some really amazing dishes! Wish I was there to walk you through it. Welcome to Lebanon!!
Ee walla😅
Another great video and hilarious commentary. Sonny, how does your wife keep a straight face? When she said, "Lamb" I burst out laughing 😂
Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪 ❤
Damn he wasn't kidding. Last year 1 USD was 1500 Lebanese dollars, now it's 15,000.
Lebanese food inspired me to eat roasted or pan fried tomatoes every time I eat eggs. So delish!!! Love and regards from a Kenyan who used to live in Dubai. Karibuni Kenya! Stay blessed people! #yourock
Thanks for coming to Lebanon we are Egyptians but my uncle's wife is Lebanese and i can agree the food is the food is more than amazing 🤤👍 i really love Lebanon 🇱🇧❤
Sonny, you need to try steamed artichoke with melted, salted butter. That's the way to go.
The buffet definitely looked like a hit and miss. Great video.
it looks pretty mediocre, nothing on this vid looked that good to me
There are better places there in lebanon
Artichokes's name comes from Arabic (أرضي شوكي/ardee chawki) which literally means "earthy prickly" , it contains a bunch of leaves, when you remove them you find the "heart" which is covered with a prickly cover, you remove the cover and enjoy the heart, I dip the tip of the leaves and the heart in an oil, vinegar and salt mixture and enjoy it!
I can watch Sonny all day he's so animated. He really loves his job.
Yeah
U love Lebanon?
Omg I love watching ur videos ! U r so bloody funny!! U keep me smiling😊love from England ❤❤❤❤
I’m Lebanese, I’m in Lebanon right now. I can assure you, this is faaar from being the most expensive buffet, the food industry in Lebanon is very developed and believe it or not, prices match europe in every way
Weird flex.
@@israelchavez269 you have issues my friend
@@sabineabz how? She’s flaunting. You’re not my friend
lmao the energy of sonny and that bandana , definitely the 'best' food review show
I absolutely love how Sonny finally got to the best part of the artichoke and then refused to eat anymore!
I'm surprised he didn't now how to eat a whole artichoke. When I think about it though, I probably wouldn't know either, if my family didn't make them my whole life. Other than my family outings, I've never been presented with a whole steamed artichoke, so I forgive him. 😁
I've never had an artichoke before, just something we never had growing up
_Toum_ is life itself 😃
The desert that looks like it has thin noodles on top is _kadaif_ [kadayif] and its yummmmy.
I have been in Lebanon 10-15 times, and I adore the Lebanese cuisine, together with the Syrian. These 2 are in the global top 3 for me. I love the experience that wherever I go or just find a street vendor with some falafel or kibbeh, everything tastes fantastic in these countries. Nevertheless, this buffett is more of a redefined or fusion place. It does not really mirror the very authentic and masterpiece-like kitchen that this country has. I hope the next episodes will be a bit more native.
All of this food looks disgusting...
Agree with you entirely.
First reply guy probably is a McDonald kid
@@BattleEiche If you think this food looks good... I feel bad for you... It looks absolutely disgusting...
@Ashley_Schaeffer some people like black pudding and bangers n mash. Stuff looks like you feed dogs with it, so always let your tongue do the taste, not your eyes.
4:40 that artichoke comes with a dip, which you must have missed 🙈 (Usually made of oil, lemon and garlic if I am not mistaken )
I really enjoy stuffed artichokes...breadcrumb,parm,salt,pepper,garlic and shove it into the leaves then when you scrape you also get some of all that. You were so close with the heart but the hairy part you dont eat. Plain artichoke with just some salt is delicoous too!
Sonny, WTF?! You didn't even take a bite out of the chocolate cake!!
I said the same thing after the end!😢
Happy to see Sonny enjoying Lebanese food, hope there will be more videos in Lebanon 🎉 Sa7tein
LOL - keep chuckling watching the kid with the covert ice cream in the background at 10:24! Imagining him hiding from his sister 🙂
Ty Sunny, these are foods I’ve never tried before and the video was really interesting.
He finally came to Lebanon🔥
The food looks delicious !
Would love to travel the world with Sonny. Always entertaining.
😂 Thanks for all your humor! Especially the beet joke! 😂
From a former waiter to a foodie: Dishes usually have a rim on the bottom. you place your thumb on the side and your index finger specifically on that rim on the bottom. that way you get the coldest parts of the dish.
Finally some Levantine cuisine representation 🥺❤️ please do one about Syria.
Yes!!!! Syria tour would be so amazing! Even though I am not from the Middle East I'd love a Syria tour
Maybe When Syria Rests ... as it's more or less unsafe ... plus it would be a Free advertising for assad regime
Awesome as always!
Watching sonny increases my appetite.
When Sonny said “I can put it in the bathroom, it can hold soap” about the artichoke heart, I just couldn’t hold it anymore😂😂😂😂😂
You're married?! Congratulations! I wish you all of the happiness you can handle 😁
0:37 OH Snap!! They even got Jay Leno serving up dishes in the background!!! You GO Jay!!
lol that man's buttcrack around 6 minutes
Sonyyy! NOOO I don't know how you stumbled into this place, if you're still in Lebanon let me know I can show you the real traditional experience. And how the hell did you find a 50$ buffet 😍 most good places are over 100$
Al Bustan Hotel is a historic place tho, it's surely decent. Haven't tried their buffet hope to try it soon.
Awesome video! Glad you enjoyed Lebanon. Here are a few pointers:
1- The artichoke leaves are typically dipped in garlic lemon-oil (that's where the flavor is at), and you should empty the fibrous and inedible part in the artichoke heart (which you ate). The heart itself should be soft and delicious
2- The dip you ate was not hummus, but rather mtabbale (grilled smashed aubergine with tahini) - which can be easily confused with hummus if you don't know the difference very well
3- The sausages you ate are actually stuffed lamb intestines (hence your accurate description of "fatty" and "intestinal" flavors!). It's a very old-school dish that is unfortunately not that popular anymore and the majority of Lebanese are grossed out by it. You were lucky to find it there! Not many places do it anymore
Ive been missing your channels. I do love them! Your hilarious and education too! Thanks for creating them.
This man is pure Entertainment!!
OMG! That looks awesome Sonny I want to go to there! 🤤
Sonny you're my idol❤️ I think I'm addicted to your videos like a crackhead 💀 I've been watching since 16, I'm 22 now and I watch em almost everyday. You're really changing the world with your content
The dessert…. yum! Lol on the bleep bloop and that kid hiding with his ice cream cone 🍦 10:24.
You are so funny bro all the love from lebanon ❤
Next time you want to come contact someone to guide about how to eat lebanese food 🤣
Love my Lebanese food!!! I wanna go back there so bad
Awesome to have you here in the country man! Super fun to watch your energy and see you enjoy the food! A few tips when in Lebanon though:
1- get someone to guide you through the food, we have A LOT! Many of those you ate were not really authentic or well-made, and you kinda ate quite a few things with missing sides/dips/etc. :D Looking at that food, as a Lebanese, I actually wouldn't wanna go to that place.
2- you want the best food... get invited into a household - moms make the best Lebanese food! :D
But again, great to have you here and super stoked!
I love your comment!
You crack me up. You say what we’re all thinking at a foreign buffet! Xx
Been waiting for this 😍😍🇱🇧
Wow whatta feast 😮I love Lebanese food
Not as rosy as you think. This is a high-end establishment. 90% of us Lebs will never even get to see the food, let alone eat it.
i hear its great! did the perfect hairline stud meet up with the yes fam there?
@@LoverOFhopeANDcompassionbro what 😂 we cook this everyday, what a hater 🤡
I love that you’re in Lebanon! Hope you like my home country 😊
the kofta with toum looks so good
Plumber crack at 5:54 in the background 😂 hilarious
7:15 really liked the cake showcase! it was amazing
Sonny, you are my role model. You are so damn awesome.
This is the best presented buffett I've ever seen in my life. Everything looks so clean, majestic and delicious. Excellent work.
Thank you Sonny for visiting LEBANON
The food buffet looks so delicious and colourful 😊😋❤
I miss the Lebanese food I'd get in Ottawa (of all places) especially the dandelion greens salad & Lebanese dolmas & pickles 😥
lebanese dolmas are much nicer than the ones u eat in greece thats originally made thats whats nice about lebanese food we take food from other countries and mix our own ideas and even make it better , like the egyptain foul we took it from them but ask nay egyptain he will tell u our foul is much better .
😮Omg u literally came to my country and I missed meeting you! You need to try all lebanese cuisine.
Thank you for visiting our country ❤ actually i love your content ❤❤
That looks like the most delicious stuff I could eat with every option.
