🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but 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.

Nice work
Come to Mozambique, please Sonny. 18:51
I really hate you for eating kangaroo and turtle you should haven't kill those lovely creatures for your content and enjoy their meat @besteverfoodshow 47:06
Vegemite is the best!! Try it on huntly and palmers cream crackers with butter. Mmmmmmm!
Huge respect to Sonny for not only doing a food review but going deep into first nation people's culture and conservation efforts.
Thanks for recognizing and respecting First Nations bro!!
I'm from Canada so we aren't related but a lot of us have had the same struggles across the globe in recent centuries.
I'm casted up after a dance party with a black bear last week wondering how i can make this new semester at college work, been kinda rough lol. Im very proud to be part native and you're unexpected comment probably made my day...straight fire😊
BBQ pulled possum
Agree, and it needs to be noted that the pressure on native species is not from first nation people, but due to western influence and practices. First nation people should not be penalised or curtailed as a result. We as Australians need to solve our terrible track record of endangerment and extinction of our native species.
well put.
we dont call them that here
As an Aussie, I can confirm we really did try the wildest menu in this series! 🇦🇺 - What did we miss? - What should we eat next time?
long pigs
Drop bear
@@keithhowell4138 Drop bear would have been good. Should definitely get Sonny to try that next time. I'll have to speak with the producers.
witchetty grub and bush turkey or crocodile 👍
@@dkranger5997 actually bush turkey was supposed to be in the goanna episode but we couldn’t get one. Got lucky that the goanna came along instead.
I really like the fact you took your time to also tell the story of the indigenous people of Australia and not just eat their food respect man!
A lot of what our aboriginal brothers deal with is so unfair. They were treated so badly in the past & are still treated pretty fucking badly in some ways. It’s great that you got to show the beautiful side of modern indigenous culture! Great job man!
so true bro
man this dude has come so far. production value is insane now
He's tha man bro! Such an awesome experience journeying with this guy
Was about to say the same thing. Very impressive!
Yes amazing and inspiring
I feel you. so great to see the growth and always good... no matter what show you watch

Òpp😊
Despite the popularity of the channel, I’m surprised how humbled Sonny remains. Great episode, amazing way of educating people about food and culture of Aboriginal Population of Australia.
You are right he is very humble and shows respect to everyone anywhere he goes. Much respect.
I like that one episode in china where some guy who made dumplings or something asks him how many subscribers he has and he said 5 million and the guy says "thats not that many" and then Sonny got miffed and said his dumplings were only ok
Truely a masterclass production, tv worthy. Talks about the food, the history of the food, the origin of the people and very insightful information about the culture. Seeing the hunt of green sea turtle was a bit hard to watch but again it’s part of their culture and from what’s been shown, the aboriginal people show a very high level of knowledge and respect for what they hunt.
I agree. The sea turtles aren't endangered because of them, anyway. It's people who're greedily hunting them without caring about their population paired with the global waste problem. They actually make sure that populations of the turtles in their territories remain as healthy as they can be while still keeping their traditional diet alive.
@@Kiterou I lived in Hawaii for 20 years. The green sea turtle population once it went under the endangered species list then exploded into such numbers. That you can easily sustainably hunt them as long as you weren't just trying to kill a dozen of them at a time but literally only took one. Try fishing off of most of their coasts and the sea turtles were getting your bait every time. Especially the spots were you were fishing deep holes for ulua. They told me that turtles blood drunk fresh was a cure for asthma. I don't know I have asthma but I never tried it.
"Australia " is Just white people commenting genocide and winning
I’m so grateful you showed Indigenous lifestyles!! Just discovered this channel and I was so excited to see my people on your channel! Thank you for sharing to the world 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos
Hey there - this channel is pretty good - I really enjoyed the Aussie stuff - I live here and had no idea about anything.@@rebekahdelaney2672
This show with its style of commentary and deep understanding of not only food, but much bigger cultural aspects of a society, is certainly contributing significantly to somewhat filling the giant Anthony Bourdain sized gap this world currently has. Hard shoes to fill, but this production is on the right track. Keep going!
agreed 🙌
“Anthony Bourdain sized gap”.... Rest his soul and the statement made me smile and giggle a little.
Exactly! This is why I like this show
RiP Anthony Bourdain😔
what are you talking about this praduction vs bourdain is not even compairable
yea but they were talkin about production and your talkin about the praduction lol jk @@jaylynch5192
Its amazing to see their conservation efforts while still holding their traditions at heart. You can see their empathy and respect for the animals they eat. Sonny has truly taught me to be open and respect others even if i don't agree with their practices. Keep it going!
Okay Amanda 😊
Thank you. The best thing people can do is listen and watch, we would learn so much more about each other, but instead we scream at each other for things we don't understand.
Being a Sri Lankan Tamil born in the UK, I also grew up eating something similar called Marmite. Im pretty sure the taste is very much the same and we ate it as a spread on bread or as a soup by mixing it into hot water. Its definitely an acquired taste 😂 I would like to add that the Australian aboriginal people seem very similar to Sri Lankan veddas especially. They also hunt and eat monitor lizards and sea turtles as well as sharks, rays and skates, and bush fowl. I believe they're closely related genetically.
Marmite is gross, Vegemite as the way!!!! lol, jokes aside Marmite I found to be really weird tasting, I think its sour, Vegemite is more salty.
I also find Marmite almost sweet, it's not like Vegemite in taste
I subscribed after the 1st video I saw from this channel and it is now my new obsession. Never have I gained such a drastic interest and appreciation for not just food, but culture, people and animals as well, thanks to the wholesome style of these videos. Sonny's personality is intoxicating, the humor is a treasure and the knowledge is abundant and never-ending.
Edit: I also very much appreciate how Sonny tries to taste some things in its raw form so we can understand more about the flavor and texture of the bare food itself without the seasoning or style of cooking
This show is amazing. Yes the production and the experiences are amazing but I think my most favorite thing about it is just Sonny himself. The man is so open minded and so humble, you can just tell how mentally mature he is and yet he is so adventurous and young spirited, love the channel!
Sonny is so honest about what he eats, it is so refreshing to see and hear how these cultural communities survive. Thanks for always sharing the knowledge.
This is something we lack a lot of in Australia, the traditional of the aboriginals. I am a European Australian with part-aboriginal friends and relatives but we all mostly live the same modern lifestyles. It is so inspiring and valuable to see and experience the traditional methods of our indigenous people.
And as always, Sonny and his team do a great job of showing the story and culture behind the food.
Much love and respect.
Totally agree with you mate - cheers.
Yes the traditional pickup truck shining method! Always amazed at how genius the ancestors were at hunting such a tricky animal!
I think these aborigines could find more sand than that to put on the food. I just couldn't see myself paying for that whole experience lol. That's just a tad bit to wild. That one kid said he hunts 6 or 7 sea turtles per year. He didn't say anything about not hunting them if they were low in numbers. At this point in my life I feel like we all came from some tribe at some point in our history so what if we all just ate whatever animals our ancestors ate wether they are endangered or not. There are so many other types of protein these people have access to. Hell the kangaroo is way over populated. I can understand if they lived in a place like the arctic or somewhere that there is limited opportunities to kill something to eat but for the people who have all sorts of options to still target an animal that could soon not be around anymore I just feel is, not selfish but it's just not necessary or even smart. Like these Asian countries who just don't care. Japan is the worst. They over fish everything and they eat everything. China as well with there "everything is traditional medicine" b.s! Yeah ok I'm american I don't understand I'm sure I'll hear but seriously we all came from somewhere. Why is my heritage not as important as someone else's? I know for a fact I'm not going to be allowed to just hunt whatever I please under the idea that I know more about the animal than you do. I understand it's not these people who made there animals endangered but we are all apart of this planet and at some point in our history we are all going to need to accept that it's up to us all to save it. The human being is the worst thing that ever happened to planet earth. We think we are special and a god created us but to me it feels like we are more like a cancer that just keeps taking killing and destroying! What God would create that? None that I ever hear about seem like they would appreciate the path humanity has taken. We just keep growing and taking away and leaving a mess in our wake.
Sonny does such a great job at asking the questions that informs us and opens our hearts to the indigenous ppls. This is the best ever food review show ever. No other can compete. I would hate if it ever disappears! ❤
Great for Sonny. It does take a lot of open mind to be able to do what this man is doing. That alone sets this channel apart from every other food channel.
showed your channel to my hmong parents, they loved your videos! even with the language barrier they still understand and enjoy all your adventures. they reminisce the days of being back in laos/thailand and love seeing the similarities in other cultures. this channel is truly amazing in so many ways, keep it up!
As an aboriginal Aussie thank you, only been watching you for a couple of months and love what you and your team produce, mad respect man💕
Thank you Sonni and team for pouring your souls in these videos, never ever I would have known about the diverse food of Australia if not for this video!
Everything about this land just has so much unique character, including the people, that's what made this series so good!
I'm an Aussie & I'd have to say the best meal I have ever had is fresh mudcrab I caught myself, with home brewed beer I made myself, followed by a bottle of Bundy Rum I bought myself from the nearest bottelo. I'm so glad you finally made it over here & got to enjoy food that didn't just come out of a restaurant, another great food journey, come back anytime.
🤦🏼♂️
Sounds delicious. Heck, mud crabs over there are huge! One could probably fill you up.
People rly mad about the turtles. Yea they are cool and beautiful animals. But they are not over hunting many people have traditions theirs just has turtle hunting. Y’all need to stop being butthurt😂😂😂. And don’t be like they are endangered they can’t do that. Are they over hunting? No. So chill.
Not mad about the turtle... Just shocked that... Of all things... The turtle is gonna make him go Vegan😂
I only eat chicken because their brains are tiny hence less intelligent 🤓.
i seriously enjoyed this episode about Australia's aboriginal culture and food. we don't ever get this kind of exposure in the US without going out to find it ourselves. i appreciate it. it is very much like my own culture (the stories my parents and elder extended families' stories).
the young turtle hunter, he said all you need to hear, at the end of the day he eats it all and it's for his family. you bet he knows before any supermarket chicken shopper when there is a decline in turtle population and he cares about it more because he needs to.
It's hard but the sea turtle would have been food for another predator. It's the circle of life and it didn't die needlessly: it's feeding people. So absolutely 💯 agree with you there
Yeah but their ancestors didn’t have motor boats these are just regular brown janks
Loved the aussie represention!! While I havent eaten some of these foods outside Roo and Emu, your exploration of them in a respectful manner was wonderful! ❤
Hope to see more australian content!! 🎉
If you get the chance, try croc... you'll thank me after.
Almost 4 million views!! We are diehard fans! You’re living the dream for many of us. Traveling the earth and exploring both cultural and gastronomy in a way that we feel completely immersed in the moment! You are providing us with the opportunity to experience both worlds that many people only dream about. I believe you are from Minnesota originally and our biggest challenge is whether we dump the tator tots or line them up in row haaahaaa!! I dream of living your life but I will settle for watching your journey in each tour of the world and I swear I can taste each dish because you have mastered articulating the description of each meal!
Much love from Fiji 🇫🇯
Tradition and Culture is always paramount for Indigenous people ❤
Freaking masterpiece! Why does Sonny not have a prime time show?? I would actually pay for cable if he did. All these idiotic shows on TV and here's Sonny. You're amazing!
He's said before that he doesn't want a prime time show, since that would remove some creative freedom and potentially try to spin a western view on things.
@@christopherarsenault8190ik
Knkok oko kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkokokkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkokokokk k
whats stopping you from buying their merch? they give you the show for free, support them directly instead of through 3rd party cable providers
@@RichardCranium321You don't know if they have or not lol
As a native North Borneon, from kadazan dusun tribe, I can relate with the Australian Aboriginal food culture as my fams still practicing the similar food comfort - eating wildlife animal . The younger generation think it’s too much to handle but the elderly think it’s normal.
.. Its Ir-- BAD KIDS LOSE TRADITION a Culture
The stuffed roo stomach is very similar to "Saumagen", a Southern German delicacy, where the stomach of a pig is filled with a farce made from offal, and then cooked to perfection in soup with added vegetables. Sounds strange, but tastes marvellous !
dude that speech he gave at 48mins is heartwarming and made me cry men. such a nice guy he is.... keep up the good work sunny
To everyone who sees this comment, keep pushing in life and never give up. Can't wait to see you successful one day and May God bless you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Been here since the start and this may be my favorite series of them all, im an American but this series made me love Australia.
I previously worked in an Australian media company and fell in love with Australia's culture, particularly its beautiful wildlife and breathtaking places
Thank you for exploring the real Indigenous Australia. You've just gained another subscriber. ♥️
As a chef im always looking to learn the authentic cooking methods and recipes before anything else is done to modify it..... so i would like to thank you for bringing me valuable knowledge i would never get from a book or working in any kitchen anywhere .... love this channel ... if anyone disliked this they need to get some perspective and broaden their minds... great job sonny and his team
I have been watching BEFRS for a while now. this one for some reason was one of the coolest i have watched. The natives of Australia live the life i would love to live.
Love this epison with australian indigenous! It brings me back there and I'm glad their eritage won't get lost in time thanks to video like this one!
Respect to that speech you gave about that turtle 🙏🏼 Respect to you 🫡 Felt the authenticity
Thanks for supplying us with sick content regularly!!
I feel like I haven't seen him all summer..... The algorithm and all I suppose?!?!
No thanks for that.
No matter the types of food that differs from every region I just love how you Respect every regional foods and the tribal foods and the way you elaborate each cuisine for the viewers..❤️❤️❤️
Lots lof love Sonny from Nagaland..!!!
Sonny I have watched this episode twice now! I agree with you about the turtles. The funny part is I have no issues with eating snapping turtle and other turtles like that but the sea turtles are so beautiful it would have bothered me as well. I have sooo much respect for you and your channel. I want to say thank you for what you do. Please don’t ever stop what you do. Your channel is not just entertaining but it is educational. You ,your cohosts, your wife, and staff do so much for educating the world about other cultures. I have been a subscriber for years and hope to be for many many more years. Again Thank You for all you do!!!
Thank you sooooooo much for making such incredible episode for viewers. It's so amazing to see the wilderness of Australia and you certainly had brought us with you on this impossible journey 🙏👍🏻🥳👏🏻
food is intensely tied to culture and its amazing that this is so well understood as the video is as much a lesson in aboriginal culture and their history as it is about the food they eat.
all around a very informative and entertaining video to watch.
I've never been particularly interested in Australia or its culture, but these videos make me want to go to all of these places, learn about their history, stories, the people Sonny talks to and eats with. Truly great channel!
This show is full of wisdom, not just food.. Kudos again BEFRS team!🙌🏻
Very impressed by your respect for the native culture and for telling the story their way. Have always enjoyed your channel over all the other food reviewers, though I have new found level of respect for you Sonny.
All these comments showing respect for first nations, wherever we are from, has totally made my day.
There's several comments very similar to yours and I just wanted to say thank you for your respect, it really means a lot to some people!
One of my favourite shows,thanks for coming to Australia Sonny!
Love how you keep it real!Great stuff!
Thanks Sonny and your team great job!!!! I like your sense of humor too !!! Keep on traveling and take us to the world we may never see!!! Thanks!
Here in Tasmania, the old-timer recipe for cooking Possum (or Native Hen) was to pop them in a pot with a brick, simmer until the brick was tender, then throw out the Possum and eat the rest. As modern bricks are fired at higher temperatures (therefore harder) you'd probably want to tenderize the brick first. Cheers from the Apple Isle!!
I grew up out in rural WA, and we used to have the same joke for emus, lol.
Incredible! Sonny, love your ability to introduce various perspectives in the most holistic way (food production, environmental impacts, traditions, cultural angles, and do so with appropriate humor). Your team's hard work is showing!
Thank you so much making these videos are so Nice to discover New traditions from over cultures.
Awesome!!! This is the real Australian gastronomy where food and culture are in perfect harmony. Respect to my aboriginal mates. So pure and raw,. One of my bucket list would be the roo tail.
My paternal grandfather was one of the stolen aboriginal children. He ended up in the UK during the Second World War. So we don't have our culture, and we don't even know where he came from. So, seeing aboriginal people keeping culture alive is incredible. It was really emotional for me to watch
Sending your family healing vibes from Canada, thank you for sharing.
We had several generations stolen in a row and other good stuff here. We are still breaking the UN charter of children's rights' in 2023 but we are slowly getting better.
They fucked up when they kidnapped and educated us...some of us have become damn good lawyers😂
Loved the guys from Tasmania. They really made me feel like I was there catching them and living the life with the questions you asked. Need more question about the people to make me feel more in their shoes. Like this.
Wow I watched every second and loved every second! I got sad at the turtle part but learning about different cultures has always fascinated me. Thanks Sonny!
I love your show man, I’ve been watching for so long and I’ve learned so much about so many cultures including my own. Keep it up and stay safe 🙌🏼
By far this is my favorite episode. Luv th education,culture,and culinary. Most of all the personal stories from locals experiences. Keep em coming. Good job guys!
I love her answer about rehabilitation she speaks like a true tribe leader God bless Her
Sonny and Andrew, what an amazing video ! Thank you sooo much! I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it 😁👍 you have an amazing team and your productions just keep getting better! 🤘🎉
I love Scott!!! Lol he is funny as sh#t! You need to bring him on other shows, he tells you how he really feels no holding back!!!!
Wow I was totally glued to my seat watching this video for the whole two hours It was amazing I can visually taste everything that you guys cooked and ate.
FINALLY! I have been waiting 2 years for this! So proud to call this country home, welcome 💚
Amazing series again, beautifully documented. Well done mate! 🇦🇺
Thank you for sharing! 💖💖💖
BEFRS should be on national TV!
The best ever food review show isnt just a name. This is THE best ever food review show. Its cool to learn about the culture and history behind what people eat.
Good on the boys. They know what they’re doing! Turtle or not… live and let live. Allow these people to live as they always have.
I’m so happy you visited my country 😁😁 I hope you’re having a good time here exploring. I love your content I watch you all the time
Im from Tassie and everytime I see my home island talked about on large channels it makes me happy. Thank you for coming down here and making an awesome video!
One of the few channels that lives up to its name. It's in no way click bait. I LOVE watching this guy travel and eat. These vids literally have everything. It's amazing what a little bit of capital to increase production value can do in the right hands.
-- *_It would be such an honor to share companionship and meals with Native Australians!_*
This series is cool, day off and the best ever food review show, lif3 is good 😂
Yup
That turtle part had me tearing up 🥲
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful and private moment of your lives. Makes me think about my boys and our grandkids, and when they were born. Life’s most precious moments. Congratulations!
Thank u for sharing your food journey ! Love your channel❤
Great job. What an adventure. Your channel just gets better and better.
Really enjoyed this episode, big respect Sonny 🙏🏽💯
i LOVE this team, showing us how diff ppl eat diff animals, blows my mind thinking of the possibilities of different types of protein and nutrients humans can absorb and how it affects them overall
I have nothing but respect for the indigenous people, and how they hunt!
Also for Sonny, for showing us.
Thank you for this interesting series on Australian cuisine! Especially highlighting Aboriginal cuisine was truly spectacular as well as mentioning some of the challenges they face! 🎉
This is not just a food vlog channel but more about culture and history!
The bit at 47:55 is exactly why i respect Sonny so much, one of the most genuant human beings out there
He is very humble and shows respect to everyone anywhere he goes. Much respect. And his willingness to try some foods I would probably be scared to eat . 😅 thanks Sonny. 😊
I always love the “it’s our ancestral right… so get on the speed boat and let’s hunt like our ancestors” 😂😂
This was a really cool show. I really enjoyed it. I felt like I was there with y'all. I am an EXTREMELY picky eater, so I couldn't eat most of what you had, but I've been to a pig roast for my buddy's birthday and it was FIRE! However, that first emu dish where it was pan seared looked really good.
one of the best videos on YT! love the interest and time you took spending with my people!
In the Philippines we call it also as dugong. This vlog is very informative and interesting. Great job! Nice way to show the cultural side connected to food . Learned the story 9f the aboriginal people story the same as what happened to aboriginals here in Canada. Great job!
Lived in Australia my whole life and he's teaching me more about my own country then i ever learnt at school 😀😀
I'm not even halfway through, and this is one of my favorite episodes yet.
This was an awesome video! I learned a lot about Australia I didn't know. The different cultures, clans and of course food. I really enjoyed this. Thanks Sonny and Andrew.
amazing... i truly envy your job and the things you get to see and experience. You always deliver great content and a big thumbs up to the entire team.
would like to see you do more towards australia because most of us aussies dont ever go out to eat bush food like you just did theres so much more to try
The other UA-camr did that just before this series. Why would he do the same..
Thank you for showing cultures around the world!
Holy their production is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I live in Australia and I confess I have not had aboriginal traditional food. I would love to do this.
Boss, thank You for sharing this experience, as WELL as Your trip to South Korea.. Please keep up Your AMAZING work..
My 6 yr old is a HUGE Sonny fan and we watch this together. He is so outgoing and open because of this show. We hunted down frogs legs when he was 4 because he wanted to try it because of these shows. He has been planning world travels and it's a big part of his personality. Thanks guys ❤
