    🥒ABOUT BEFRS:
    Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
    If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

      I don't have any good links for you but people who were on the Travel Channel for food shows like Andrew Zimmern and others, will tell you how the industry and channel has changed a lot since we were younger. There's a reason there was a noticeable decline in such shows. I'm sure there's a good youtube documentary on it, but it's very interesting. Thankfully, great YT channels like this are taking their place.

    This is by far one of the best food documentaries on UA-cam right now. You show much respect for these amazing people who work together. It's a deep exploration of culture, an appreciation for life and the things we take for granted. The content and the work you put in speaks for itself. As a chef in Canada and an admiration to culinary diversity. With all due respect you have filled that gap Anthony left me with. Thank you for this channel Sonny. Seriously.. at this point I feel like Prime, Netflix or Discovery should step up and offer or something. Please don't lose your sense of humor, your drive and your beautiful bandana...

    Not only does Sonny do a great, entertaining show, he somehow manages to capture the soul of the people living there in a way that you would not expect from a food show. I really get to feel what the people, culture, and country are like, experienced through their food. It's a truly spectacular and deeply connecting experience.

    The ending was absolutely beautiful. As someone who grew up in a family that didn't always have the means to go to the store and grab beef like most people it gave me such a warm feeling. My sisters and I were all raised on venison and seeing people on the other side of the world show so much respect for something harvested from nature, something that sustained my family for generations is absolutely incredible.

I would love to see you two get your own television series. You disserve so much. The talent behind the scenes are such a big part of your show and very talented in what they do. 5 stars all around. Great job.

    59:58 🥃 Drinking shark extract is considered a unique experience in Japan, and it is believed to provide various health benefits.

    01:10:00 📊 Grading of Kobe beef is based on various factors, including marbling, texture, and brightness, with only a small percentage achieving the highest A5 rating.
    01:12:18 🍖 Kobe beef offers an exceptional culinary experience, with the quality, flavor, and presentation justifying its premium price.

    01:17:29 🚣 They venture into the mud flats and try mud fishing using unique techniques to catch warosubo.
    01:19:01 🐟 After a challenging mud fishing experience, they successfully catch a warosubo, which turns out to be quite unique and not conventionally cute.

    01:24:59 🍻 Sunny and the host continue their journey exploring traditional Japanese street food stalls called "yatai" in Fukuoka.

    01:35:09 🦌 The host and Sunny enjoy a variety of dishes at yatai, including gyoza, sagari (skirt steak), and even deer meat, while discussing the unique atmosphere and service of these street stalls.
    01:36:36 🍖 The host tries raw deer meat, finding it delicious and not gamey, with clean, salty flavors and a rich, oily mouthfeel.
    01:37:16 🏗️ Setting up and preparing food at traditional yatai street stalls is a labor-intensive process, taking about an hour and a half.
    01:37:50 🍽️ The preparation of street food at yatai stalls is meticulous and artistic, with careful attention to presentation, sauces, and plating.
    01:38:30 🦌 The host enjoys deer sausage, finding it juicy and flavorful, with hints of pork fat enhancing the taste. He also appreciates the crispy Parmesan cheese.
    01:39:05 🍽️ Yoshi, the chef, demonstrates his culinary expertise, presenting dishes like venison steak and wild boar meat with artistic flair, combining different flavors in each bite.
    01:39:19 🍻 Dining at yatai is not just about the food and drinks but also about the experience and the people you share it with, creating a sense of camaraderie.
