This video says alot. Mark, how kind, respectful, conscious you are about those around you. FAME changes people, and most dont even know when there being compleatly disrespectful to people in there own country. I hope your success never changes, the wonderful, good person you and your wife are. Your videos, are refreshing, and a sheer joy to watch.
Franco Da Franco Well I'm sure his vlog is a career for both him and his wife. I can almost guarantee that they do it together and get paid together. As for the scene with Andrew were he mentions the wife, i can also bet that it is called "good natured ribbing" and I doubt she actually feels ignored.
Sometimes I dont make my point clear. I was referring to Andrew Zimmerman callen the locals that were driving him around all day long, 'TOADIES' ?! It just annoyed me how disrespectful Andrew came off in this video. And how he didnt seem to get he was on MARKS SHOW.... 'Hey Andrew its not all about you dude.'! With regards to Marks wife...there is no doubt in my mind, he is an amazing husband, and dad!
Andrew was making fun of himself as a parody of a fat rich white guy from the 18th century with a colonial mindset being carried around on a palanquin complaining all day. And he called (as a part of the parody) his own crew toadies. You know, the people he travels and works with every day sharing their stories and farts and sweat stink and beer after the shoots and then back to the same hotel as them and the same buses and planes...you know, his work family. And he was doing Mark a solid by being on this vlog, and yes, himself as well. This could lead to Mark getting a shot at being part of a TV food show. Chill.
I hope he doesn't get sucked into the Hollywood scene. He needs to stay far away in Thailand. His interaction with people who recognize him while he is filming is always so genuine and nice.
@@JeromeBakerSmoke I love Anthony Bourdain. He was the first one I started following on my facebook. I really like his shows. It is so sad that he is not longer here with us.
Yeah... Who likes Andrew Zimmern less as a result of seeing this video? Can't say that I'm actually surprised. Stay you, Mark! Authenticity is everything. 🙏
Mark, I think your appeal comes from not being anything like the Hollywood elite. It's because you are a real person with a real passion and people understand and respect that, please stay true to yourself and identity.
Jakub Szuszkiewicz He's doing what he wants to, how he wants to.....that's real, dude. Stop hating people who are living their dreams and helping and entertaining others in the process. And if you think you can do better, do it big mouth.
possibly coz he's only been eating Thai food for less than 10 years not all his life so he's easily taken by the flavours which are 100x stronger than most other cuisines with their sourness and extreme spiciness. anything overly spicy to him is delicious, in spite of the other flavours or lack there of.
Mark your humility is just out of the world. You just carried on in what you do best. You and Ying are awesome couple. Whatever success comes your way, just be the same awesome couple. You guys did great on this video.🤗👍🙌
They are filming a television show. Andrew Zimmern's Driven by Food: Bangkok. If you watched the episode, instead of relying on a behind the scenes youtube snippet, you will see Andrew and Mark conversing and talking much more.
+Mark Wiens Next celebrity guest...Anthony Bourdain perhaps? Really enjoyed this video, like I do all your videos. Keep up the good work, Mark! One last thing, COME TO INDONESIA!
+Mark Wiens MarK! I've said before you rank in my top 3 along with Andrew Zimmern. This is a foodie dream come true to see you pairing up with AZ! Andrew is my Food Hero on TV>>> So happy to see this!!! Can't wait to see the Episode! I raise my eyebrows to you!
Watching this video just reaffirmed what I've always known about Mark Wiens. His warmth just radiates right off the screen and into your heart, no matter what the situation and who he is with. The way you can still be yourself even around an overbearing presence like Andrew Zimmern is something we can all learn from. I will always be your fan 🙌🏽
Andrew seems to hate anyone stealing the limelight from him, whether its a knowlegeable local, or a very personable, sincere new food host. You need your own show. I'd watch it!
Vikas Raghuveer yeah it's definitely his signature move, but I think he does it too much. He should reserve that head tilt for truly awesome dishes, or develop a new move to separate the truly extraordinarily from the just really good. I can't tell now what's really great from just pretty good.
My mouth is on the floor!! I cannot believe I came across such a video!! I have been watching Andrew Zimmern for as long as I can remember and loving all of his Bizarre Food episodes of really "Bizarrre" foods. But now to see my newest obsession meet my oldest obsession on the food scene. Wow! Thank you so much! I'm near tears!
Mark needs his own show. He remained humble and kind while others displayed different. Andrew Zimmern's real personality is surely different from his tv act. He does come off as a snob and his crew is kinda arrogant as well. 2 different kind of people. Great job, Mark!
Nah , freedom is the best thing you can have. I don't know if you know who Sonny ( best ever food review ) is but he is one of the most popular youtube foodie also. He got his own show on Travel Channel for 1 season but he even said it himself that there is no freedom & creativity. You have to follow strict rules and scripts from producer of the show.
Andrew and Mark reminded me here of King Saul and David, the shepherd boy. The ole 'Saul Syndrome' was obvious in Andrew. The 'Saul has slain his thousands and David his tens of thousands' chants could be heard if you listened closely. lol Saul knew David was a better man than he but he tried to play it off in public. Same with Andrew knowing that Mark is just a better soul than he is, all around, hands down. Your humility is refreshing, Mark. Plus those animated faces are priceless!
I'm so glad you got to meet him and enjoyed this time with. I have to say next to him with all of his people and all of his talk about his people and all of the constant catering going on for him, your genuine, humble, happy personality really shines even brighter than his so called "stardom" you don't need all of the "people and catering because you just have it happening for you without all of that. I'm sure he saw that in you and probably felt a bit threatened by it and a bit self concious. As for the relationship conversation he had with your wife probably not his place to do but being that it happened I would definitely make sure personal/private time was spent enough so that she is feeling like being part of this journey with you and not feeling neglected by the constant camera invasion. Family first💛 happy wife, happy life😉
And I like so many others was such a fan of Andrew's ... seems to be a bit of a flake after watching this video. Mark Wiens, on the other hand, is giving way more on this video and most others that I have watched to the viewer of the "eating experience" than Andrew has ever given.
I don't mind watching Bizarre Foods with A.Z. , but Mark's video's are a lot more entertaining and leave you feeling good after watching them. Mark's honesty, humility and genuine personality makes them unique and a pleasure to watch, Mark and Ying should have their own TV show, it would be AWESOME !
he got kicked off the air cause of some remarks he made against chinese restaurants in the midwest in an interview. good that the networks took action quickly.
That's what I have been thinking also. Mark needs a TV show where he could be exposed to hundreds of millions of people or billions around the world. He's a true star. I don't think he'll ever change. I think he's just humble and a genuinely nice person.
Absolutely Mark has a beautiful soul and I loved Andrew until I saw the real him in this video, very disappointed 😞😞. I'm a cook and a foodie and everywhere Mark goes he is treated with such kindness. For Andrew and his crew try to outplay Mark's brilliance is very distasteful, I really no longer watch food network, I WATCH MARK WEINS!
Mark I really think this is start of bigger things for you, your awesome vlogs and channel has really taken off all over the world and I think 2016 will see you get offers of a mainstream tv series! I keep my fingers crossed for you Mark! A very Happy and Healthy New Year to you & ying.
I like Andrew Zimmern, but he’s definitely not as humble as he used to be. Mark Wiens is the MAN- I hope he never changes. And I agree that there is an air of ego and pretentiousness coming from Andrew and his crew. Maybe they were just hamming it up but it came across as douchiness.
I lived with a Laotian chef and her stuff is pretty good. They do things with food that you would never even think of. At least I wouldn't. Like this recipe made with sticky rice. They let sticky rice dry and then when it's completely dried and hardened they cook the rice on a pan, then they process it til it's completely grated and grainy like sand, they add liquids and flavor, then cool it down, then they add that rice concoction to lettuce with peanuts, lemon grass, and tomatoes. It's really good and a health food.
Mark, I wish I saw this video sooner. After watching this vlog, I felt it was my duty - or OUR duty (most - if not all the people who love watching your videos)- to let you know that we understand how hard it must have been to remain genuine with this guy. He was nothing like he seemed on his show, which I also watched back in 2004-2008 as you have stated in the beginning. I'm glad you stuck thru it and took full advantage to see if there was something he had to offer besides his arrogance.. so with that being said, Anthony Bourdain next?!?! much love!!
+Mona H Me too!..lol. I hear the name Zimmerman, I immediately think of Andrew Zimmern and the dude that shot the black kid that also didn't go to jail for that. Zimmerman...lol
Don't feel you & Ying need a large production company behind you. You and Ying provide a down to earth, street level show on UA-cam. And at a high quality I might add! I enjoyed Andrew giving Ying advice, so funny.
Great smile you have sir and also always great to not just see Andrew but to share a glorious time with him thank you for all your time and energy GOD BLESS TO YOU AL
mark this was crazy!!!! zimmern n you on one screen damn got to see his episode.when is it going to be aired. my two favourite foodies in the entire world!!
Seems like a new cornerstone to your journey! hopefully this sets you off! Passionate people are hard to find and I believe your time will come. Keep doing what you do and great success will find you!
I discovered this channel only about half a year ago (give or take) and my daughters and I love to watch you and your family. I'm grateful for a channel with good clean content that we can enjoy for entertainment, but also to learn about other cultures from a truly kind person.
Hi Mark, Ying, and Micah! I've been watching and re-watching during our new times/pandemic. My 2 boys and I love watching you guys. Thanks for being a positive part of our day!!! (We use your videos for cultural lessons!)
When Andrew says: "Even you felt" ... even you? implying that you have some sort of higher taste quality than Mark? xD i just hate the self centered vibe he gives off.
to be fair to Andrew i think he was referring to that specific meal being incredibly special, and even mark, as many times has he gone to that restaurant, would share the same sentiment
That conversation was taken out of context because of the editing. Andrew was referring to how even though Mark lives in Thailand and eats at these places often, he can still experience the magic of how delicious that food is with the same excitement as if it were his first time.
Those who are bashing Andrew are crazy! He is just being himself, and Mark knows this.. Andrew has the kind often sense of humor that you get, or you don't, he's hilarious! Obviously Mark gets him! What a great video, and fun to see how a lot of it's done. Thank you Mark, great video!
I LOVE how every bite he kindof leans over smiles and is like omg this is soo good everytime he takes a bite it makes me smile his smile is contageous!!.. LOVE IT!! keep up the good work nice trademark style also!!! Mark DESERVES his own SHOW!! Pay this man!!
priceandpride --- It is easy to mistake Zimmern as sounding like Zimmerman; and Zimmerman is a far more common name. However, his correct last name is Zimmern. You can check out his website on the food channel.
Just watched Mark and Andrew there, nothing to be upset about. 2 different people enjoying awesome food just with different approaches. Both of them, awesome people.
Damn, I just lost so much respect for Andrew Zimmern. I thought the dude was cool. Dude, u need to chill, just because u have a TV crew, u don't have to feed ur ego w the cocky, i'm-better-than-u attitude
I'm very impressed with Andrews thoughts about Marks vlog! I've always had a rule about UA-cam videos, If you can't inform or entertain me in 16 minutes or less then never mind. Until I found this channel, I'll watch no matter how long the video is. Mark, you do a wonderful job my friend! I'm watching this at home in central Alabama, USA
I don't think Andrew was a bad guy, he's got a very laid back but also sarcastic personality, that's a person with whom you could enjoy some good jokes and laughs without things getting personal. Mark is a very cool person and i love his videos, i should get put under house arrest for not finding his channel sooner.
Yeah I agree Andrew was very playful and fatherly to Mark all he was doing was giving good advice... Father to son ting to yang so to speak...he even gave ying advice on how to keep her relationship tight with mark... Jewish father full of knowledge and. Experience.... One thing for sure he loved the food mark introduced him to. It was good to see the two ❤ together.
I use to enjoy Andrew’s video food reviews... but since I saw his ARROGANCE and disrespectfuless... I have unsubscribed 😒 Keep it up Mark, thanks for your passion & humbleness 👍🏼 I SUBCRIBED 👍🏼
what a great experience it must be to get to meet and work with Zimmerns :D This just shows how far you have come Mark. You are so blessed that you get to do what you love and earn a living from it. I wish you more prosperous 2016. Never ever change your signature yummy face over Zimmern's eyebrow move. jk :D
Omg, I love watching Mark Zimmerman videos!! All, the tummies, yummi foods showed thur his travels. So, awsome🥰to see you two together for foods for life 😋❤
I really love Andrew Zimmer's Bizarre food show on TLC... i really watch it a very long time i guest... but in this video, he is not the person behind the camera who we've love to watch.For me? Minus points for andrew sorry man.
I like Andrew Z. Show but I love how Mark is just like one of us .He brings his Humility with him everywhere he goes and it shows so well. Hats off to you Mark may you go far in life doing what you love and giving us who can't,, a taste of Great Foods from around the World. ------- Thank you Mark and Ying too. Cheers !!
Great relationship advice from Andrew! I often feel bad for Ying that she’s operating the camera instead of enjoying them enjoying the meal together. Those moments are important too ❤️
Both Andrew and Mark are well respected food bloggers. Andrew is more playful and Mark is on a sweeter side. Nobody is better/worse than anybody, each is just as special.
This is old but continue to be you Mark. I used to be a fan of Andrew as well but.... you live and you learn. I'd watch, and have watched, you so many more times than Zimmern that it's not even funny. We appreciate you and see that your soul is still intact after the popularity. Much gratitude Mark!
the only sincere, or 'humbling' quality I saw from Andrew in this video was the fact that he allowed Mark to "partake" in the experience. it really was unfortunate to see how he and his crew interacted with Mark..
They were filming a television show. Andrew Zimmern's Driven By Food. The Bangkok episode. If you watch the episode hopefully you see Andrew and Mark talking and being more friendly. Mark was filming "behind the scenes" snippets when Andrew was not really ready. Do not judge until you have to be in front of a camera for hours and hours.
I told you! Yeah yeah! I'm so HAPPY FOR YOU! You are FOOD NETWORK worthy! So awesome when will that show air! Mark you deserve it you and Ying sacrifice a lot to maintenance a quality channel! next special Guess on the FN then your own show just keep showing you can cook too! than your in! "Mr.Thailand"😄🍜🍤 do you like the title😀
Exactly Andrew wasn’t at all like the comments say. I’ve watched all Andrews seasons and he’s been the same. He’s got that funny humor we’re people think he’s a prick now if it was Anthony bourdain that man is a total prick.
Julie Goh omg I absolutely thought the same thing.... I couldn't shake his need to show his superiority to Mark.... like Mark was humble... and sooo proud to meet Andrew... but I felt like Andrew was making it clear that he was doing Mark a favor by having him hang out with him.... idk Andrew just didn't sit right with me... I could have watched this episode with much more joy without Andrew in it... honestly
Your last meal of the day was very special for 3 important reasons: 1) It was the strangest one that Mr. Zimmern missed out on, 2) It was just you and Ying, 3) You put the camera away after the first bite which made it a date night!
Donna Fassano That’s the beauty of diversity. This melting pot of intricate uniqueness mixed with different cultures and perspectives is part of what makes the world so beautiful.
I loved this video with Andrew Zimmerman, one of my favorite food travelers. He is hilarious. I'm very sarcastic myself and totally understand his humor. As well, the advise about making a dinner date with your wife without a camera present is very wise advise.
This video says alot. Mark, how kind, respectful, conscious you are about those around you. FAME changes people, and most dont even know when there being compleatly disrespectful to people in there own country. I hope your success never changes, the wonderful, good person you and your wife are. Your videos, are refreshing, and a sheer joy to watch.
Franco Da Franco Well I'm sure his vlog is a career for both him and his wife. I can almost guarantee that they do it together and get paid together. As for the scene with Andrew were he mentions the wife, i can also bet that it is called "good natured ribbing" and I doubt she actually feels ignored.
Sometimes I dont make my point clear. I was referring to Andrew Zimmerman callen the locals that were driving him around all day long, 'TOADIES' ?! It just annoyed me how disrespectful Andrew came off in this video. And how he didnt seem to get he was on MARKS SHOW....
'Hey Andrew its not all about you dude.'!
With regards to Marks wife...there is no doubt in my mind, he is an amazing husband, and dad!
Andrew was making fun of himself as a parody of a fat rich white guy from the 18th century with a colonial mindset being carried around on a palanquin complaining all day. And he called (as a part of the parody) his own crew toadies. You know, the people he travels and works with every day sharing their stories and farts and sweat stink and beer after the shoots and then back to the same hotel as them and the same buses and planes...you know, his work family. And he was doing Mark a solid by being on this vlog, and yes, himself as well. This could lead to Mark getting a shot at being part of a TV food show. Chill.
mark is a gentelmam and a sholar... cant say the same about the other guy #backseateats
awesome
Mark, you're the best. You are charming, humble, and amazing. Be yourself and don't ever change. You're already a superstar.
Agreed Mark thanks for the guy you are
Stay true.
I hope he doesn't get sucked into the Hollywood scene. He needs to stay far away in Thailand. His interaction with people who recognize him while he is filming is always so genuine and nice.
Now I understand why Mark Wiens is the only vlog/show I like to watch. Some people just need to learn how to be humble.
I agree, Andrew was really... super distracting with his inflated ego.
what about Anthony Bourdain?
@@JeromeBakerSmoke I love Anthony Bourdain. He was the first one I started following on my facebook. I really like his shows. It is so sad that he is not longer here with us.
@@glittersqueak Yes true he is inspiring though - hope his ego gets inflated in the coming years! :)
Yeah... Who likes Andrew Zimmern less as a result of seeing this video? Can't say that I'm actually surprised. Stay you, Mark! Authenticity is everything. 🙏
Mark, I think your appeal comes from not being anything like the Hollywood elite. It's because you are a real person with a real passion and people understand and respect that, please stay true to yourself and identity.
***** Sure thing Hollywood. Chill out.
Jakub Szuszkiewicz He's doing what he wants to, how he wants to.....that's real, dude. Stop hating people who are living their dreams and helping and entertaining others in the process. And if you think you can do better, do it big mouth.
+Jakub Szuszkiewicz you didnt see he's video where he did not like the food..go find it..cuz im too lazy to find it for you...
I went to a couple of places that mark went to and they were very sub par and I think he over rates places he goes to
possibly coz he's only been eating Thai food for less than 10 years not all his life so he's easily taken by the flavours which are 100x stronger than most other cuisines with their sourness and extreme spiciness. anything overly spicy to him is delicious, in spite of the other flavours or lack there of.
Andrew is a lucky man! He gets to hang with Mark ! 😆

Andrew really came off to me as a snob, so amazing to see someone's true colors. Please stay wonderful and never change who are.
It's called sarcasm, he was mostly making fun of himself....
They are filming a television show. Andrew Zimmern's Driven by Food: Bangkok. If you watched the episode, instead of relying on a behind the scenes youtube snippet, you will see Andrew and Mark conversing and talking much more.
neocore I met Andrew and he was very gracious and kind. Most of these shots are sarcasm. Get off your high horse
Mark should (and IS I’m sure) be grateful that a famous TV personality gave him this opportunity.

or any other food and travel network...
Jai Demaio food network wont pay for a show that has to travel internationally. theyre more into their tv personalities and "reality" shows.
Stay vlogging Mark. This is where you are loved.
😂 why are you people hating on Andrew he was just being playful
Must have been an honor for Andrew to hangout with Mark🙂
Andrew seems to hate anyone stealing the limelight from him, whether its a knowlegeable local, or a very personable, sincere new food host. You need your own show. I'd watch it!
He wanted to come over funny , but didn't get that mesage delivered, he came more over as a jerk.
Mark you're much better !!
Mark your such a humble man keep it up godbless
If Marc doesn't tilt his head, its not good enough.
right...
Vikas Raghuveer And if he doesn't close his eyes. LOL
Vikas Raghuveer yeah it's definitely his signature move, but I think he does it too much. He should reserve that head tilt for truly awesome dishes, or develop a new move to separate the truly extraordinarily from the just really good. I can't tell now what's really great from just pretty good.
Vikas Raghuveer Yeah you right.
Common Sense Yeah, but maybe he just really likes a LOT of stuff. xD
I love it when you say wow !!! No one say's wow with your wow expression , it's the best !!!!

Nice mammary glands madam
Na. Not even close.

@quail eater and bluepilled.
Zimmerman came off as an asshole but Mark is nowhere near is tv host talent & overall knowledge of food.
I'm so glad you got to meet him and enjoyed this time with. I have to say next to him with all of his people and all of his talk about his people and all of the constant catering going on for him, your genuine, humble, happy personality really shines even brighter than his so called "stardom" you don't need all of the "people and catering because you just have it happening for you without all of that.

I couldn't get half-way through this video without reading the comments to see if others also find Andrew to be cocky and self-absorbed. UGH
I did the very same thing. Everyone can't be wrong (right?)
And I like so many others was such a fan of Andrew's ... seems to be a bit of a flake after watching this video. Mark Wiens, on the other hand, is giving way more on this video and most others that I have watched to the viewer of the "eating experience" than Andrew has ever given.
My sentiments precisely. Very disappointed. Mark is a phenomenal man for holding it down like that.
As soon as he scooped marks spoon then ate it I came to the comments to check ahaha
Very much so .

Andrews show is long gone and cancelled while marks social media internet and food vlog platform is soarin’ and thrivin’
he got kicked off the air cause of some remarks he made against chinese restaurants in the midwest in an interview. good that the networks took action quickly.
Yes! And with over six million subscribers he's killing it!
Yeah, but Andrew’s show inspired Mark and many other food bloggers since. You can’t knock the original. All shows end eventually.
SOMEONE GIVE MARK HIS OWN TRAVEL EAT FOOD CHANNEL ! He has a more humble heart ❤️
Humble doesn't equate to knowledge. Mark is good but an amateur when it comes to technique. He is more of a fan of food rather than an expert.
truly stefany wait, what does he have on youtube then that has millions of subscribers? A channel? Right
Nah. He's good with his humble YT channel. Gtfo those tv food channel. Bunch of egos
He doesn't need Hollywood. He's the people's!
That's what I have been thinking also. Mark needs a TV show where he could be exposed to hundreds of millions of people or billions around the world. He's a true star. I don't think he'll ever change. I think he's just humble and a genuinely nice person.
Mark forever... He is full of positive vibes and he is a wonderful human being...ego free... i can tell just from watching his vlogs...
Absolutely Mark has a beautiful soul and I loved Andrew until I saw the real him in this video, very disappointed 😞😞. I'm a cook and a foodie and everywhere Mark goes he is treated with such kindness. For Andrew and his crew try to outplay Mark's brilliance is very distasteful, I really no longer watch food network, I WATCH MARK WEINS!

Very sarcastic!! Basically a asshole!

I like Andrew Zimmern, but he’s definitely not as humble as he used to be. Mark Wiens is the MAN- I hope he never changes. And I agree that there is an air of ego and pretentiousness coming from Andrew and his crew. Maybe they were just hamming it up but it came across as douchiness.
Being humble didnt get him where he is at snowflake
@@biggatap Damn, if Jacob Hatty's opinion is like a snowflake then, dude, there's a blizzard going on here.
@@randolphpinkle4482 y'all understand when your in the big league no holds bared
I lived with a Laotian chef and her stuff is pretty good. They do things with food that you would never even think of. At least I wouldn't. Like this recipe made with sticky rice. They let sticky rice dry and then when it's completely dried and hardened they cook the rice on a pan, then they process it til it's completely grated and grainy like sand, they add liquids and flavor, then cool it down, then they add that rice concoction to lettuce with peanuts, lemon grass, and tomatoes. It's really good and a health food.
^That snack dish is called Miang Muang Luang (Northern Lao specialty).
Mark, I wish I saw this video sooner. After watching this vlog, I felt it was my duty - or OUR duty (most - if not all the people who love watching your videos)- to let you know that we understand how hard it must have been to remain genuine with this guy. He was nothing like he seemed on his show, which I also watched back in 2004-2008 as you have stated in the beginning. I'm glad you stuck thru it and took full advantage to see if there was something he had to offer besides his arrogance.. so with that being said, Anthony Bourdain next?!?! much love!!
i love how they have all this fancy sound and recording equipment and its just mark and his usual filming...
Zimmern was so self absorbed
My whole life I thought it was Andrew Zimmerman... I just realised I've been saying his name wrong lol
lol me too
+Mona H me too!
My mom always says Zimmerman and I get so annoyed, I always correct her LOL
+Mona H Me too!..lol. I hear the name Zimmerman, I immediately think of Andrew Zimmern and the dude that shot the black kid that also didn't go to jail for that. Zimmerman...lol
+Mona H and me
2 of my favorites in one video…. I just loved this!
Don't feel you & Ying need a large production company behind you. You and Ying provide a down to earth, street level show on UA-cam. And at a high quality I might add! I enjoyed Andrew giving Ying advice, so funny.
Great smile you have sir and also always great to not just see Andrew but to share a glorious time with him thank you for all your time and energy GOD BLESS TO YOU AL
Thank you for the shout out Mark, I can't wait to see this episode. Good job!!
mark this was crazy!!!! zimmern n you on one screen damn got to see his episode.when is it going to be aired. my two favourite foodies in the entire world!!
+ranjith pc Thank you very much!
+Mark Wiens delhi in india ain't that meat friendly gotta go back to kerala south india for sea food nom nom
I like both of them, Mark's style is refreshing and Andrew is Andrew. Different Palettes, no copy cats here. 👍👍👍
I Love these two man Mark and Andrew. Hugs from Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Bizzare Food ... great show!!
Seems like a new cornerstone to your journey! hopefully this sets you off! Passionate people are hard to find and I believe your time will come. Keep doing what you do and great success will find you!
+James Oh Huge thank you James, really appreciate it!
I discovered this channel only about half a year ago (give or take) and my daughters and I love to watch you and your family. I'm grateful for a channel with good clean content that we can enjoy for entertainment, but also to learn about other cultures from a truly kind person.
from the 2 different world of character...humble vs cocky
How is everybody coming to this conclusion as I didn't get it at all? What I got was Andrew being playful with Mark and making fun of himself.
Wow congrats Mark! Anthony Bourdain next!!
+BillyPilgrim YES I second this!
Yes!
+BillyPilgrim Yes! How great it must've been for Mark to feature and hang out with the person you have been only watching on TV growing up.
Anthony he awesome..
+BillyPilgrim He will have his own show next!
Watching this video in 2021... Mark, you’re the man now, so step aside Andrew. Love how humble you are, Mark. Never change!!
I lost all respect for Andrew Zimmerman after this video , Thanks mark keep this video up to show how Andrew really is.
Hi Mark, Ying, and Micah! I've been watching and re-watching during our new times/pandemic. My 2 boys and I love watching you guys. Thanks for being a positive part of our day!!! (We use your videos for cultural lessons!)
Andrew is taking a real beating in the comments below mine. I guess he really underestimated the power and reach of Marks vlog.
True that !
Andrew who? The used-to-be no-one remembers? 🌝
When Andrew says: "Even you felt" ... even you? implying that you have some sort of higher taste quality than Mark?
xD i just hate the self centered vibe he gives off.
Well I personally think Mark is a better food reviewer. Andrew is also the same guy who prefers frozen steak cooked then served cold 🤣
to be fair to Andrew i think he was referring to that specific meal being incredibly special, and even mark, as many times has he gone to that restaurant, would share the same sentiment
That conversation was taken out of context because of the editing. Andrew was referring to how even though Mark lives in Thailand and eats at these places often, he can still experience the magic of how delicious that food is with the same excitement as if it were his first time.
U r delightful..full of enthusiasm..Ur Love for ur job shows..
Those who are bashing Andrew are crazy! He is just being himself, and Mark knows this.. Andrew has the kind often sense of humor that you get, or you don't, he's hilarious! Obviously Mark gets him! What a great video, and fun to see how a lot of it's done. Thank you Mark, great video!
He's just a sarcastic joking kind of guy . Lot of people in America like that
I LOVE how every bite he kindof leans over smiles and is like omg this is soo good everytime he takes a bite it makes me smile his smile is contageous!!.. LOVE IT!! keep up the good work nice trademark style also!!! Mark DESERVES his own SHOW!! Pay this man!!
Hmm, i've always called him Andrew Zimmerman
+priceandpride haha I guess I am not the only one
MANDELA EFFECT !
me too wtf ?
priceandpride --- It is easy to mistake Zimmern as sounding like Zimmerman; and Zimmerman is a far more common name. However, his correct last name is Zimmern. You can check out his website on the food channel.
I called him andrew semen
thank you for sharing these experiences bud, you are a classy guy Much love
Just watched Mark and Andrew there, nothing to be upset about. 2 different people enjoying awesome food just with different approaches. Both of them, awesome people.
Thanks for showing the real Andrew Zimmern. This was enlightening.
Damn, I just lost so much respect for Andrew Zimmern. I thought the dude was cool. Dude, u need to chill, just because u have a TV crew, u don't have to feed ur ego w the cocky, i'm-better-than-u attitude
Exactly!! Totally turned me off...
I totally agree! Andrew's crew's super nice though, and seem very pleasant to be with.
Total looser behaviour. Andrew should be the one asking Mark for tips.
Pompous asshole
I'm very impressed with Andrews thoughts about Marks vlog! I've always had a rule about UA-cam videos, If you can't inform or entertain me in 16 minutes or less then never mind. Until I found this channel, I'll watch no matter how long the video is. Mark, you do a wonderful job my friend! I'm watching this at home in central Alabama, USA
I don't think Andrew was a bad guy, he's got a very laid back but also sarcastic personality, that's a person with whom you could enjoy some good jokes and laughs without things getting personal. Mark is a very cool person and i love his videos, i should get put under house arrest for not finding his channel sooner.
Robert Velez yeah correct
Exactly, but everyone is easily offended so if you have a sarcastic personality then people see you as rude
Yeah I agree Andrew was very playful and fatherly to Mark all he was doing was giving good advice... Father to son ting to yang so to speak...he even gave ying advice on how to keep her relationship tight with mark... Jewish father full of knowledge and. Experience.... One thing for sure he loved the food mark introduced him to. It was good to see the two ❤ together.
I use to enjoy Andrew’s video food reviews... but since I saw his ARROGANCE and disrespectfuless... I have unsubscribed 😒 Keep it up Mark, thanks for your passion & humbleness 👍🏼 I SUBCRIBED 👍🏼
I remembered him. He devoured lots bizarre foods but surrendered to a simple durian fruit.
+d34dj0k3r Yea, I thought that was surprising.
yeahhh.. he can't even taste the durian ice cream..
Mark you are so genuine, it's appreciated.
what a great experience it must be to get to meet and work with Zimmerns :D This just shows how far you have come Mark. You are so blessed that you get to do what you love and earn a living from it. I wish you more prosperous 2016. Never ever change your signature yummy face over Zimmern's eyebrow move. jk :D
Amazing! I love Andrew Zimmer!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zimmern*
+Yaya lol
+Yaya I like as well
i hate him on the contrary
Omg, I love watching Mark Zimmerman videos!! All, the tummies, yummi foods showed thur his travels.
So, awsome🥰to see you two together for foods for life 😋❤
I really love Andrew Zimmer's Bizarre food show on TLC... i really watch it a very long time i guest... but in this video, he is not the person behind the camera who we've love to watch.For me? Minus points for andrew sorry man.
What a shame.Iiked that man before but I don't now.Thank you for your post Mark.Keep up the good work.
I like Andrew Z. Show but I love how Mark is just like one of us .He brings his Humility with him everywhere he goes and it shows so well. Hats off to you Mark may you go far in life doing what you love and giving us who can't,, a taste of Great Foods from around the World.
------- Thank you Mark and Ying too. Cheers !!
Great relationship advice from Andrew!
I often feel bad for Ying that she’s operating the camera instead of enjoying them enjoying the meal together.
Those moments are important too ❤️
You do realize is his Chanel his the face of the Chanel. His wife doesn't like been on camara but the way. I can tell your new to the Chanel
Both Andrew and Mark are well respected food bloggers. Andrew is more playful and Mark is on a sweeter side. Nobody is better/worse than anybody, each is just as special.
This is old but continue to be you Mark. I used to be a fan of Andrew as well but.... you live and you learn. I'd watch, and have watched, you so many more times than Zimmern that it's not even funny. We appreciate you and see that your soul is still intact after the popularity. Much gratitude Mark!
I've always loved Andrew & it was nice seeing these two foodies together!! ☺️♥️👍
next is Adam Richman from Man vs Food!
Oh my gosh exactly what I was thinking.
+A Bag Of Kale Chips
Me too. ;-)
It's amazing how his videos have transformed!! Love Bizarre foods too!!
Watching Andrew join you was such a treat, I love him, no egos just foodtelligance
No egos? Zimmerman and his crew were very arrogant and disrespectful
Andrew is a complete jerk in this video. He's different in his own shows. Mark Wiens is the man. So down to earth, knowledgable, and jolly.
Regin's Travels I agree, I think Andrews acting like a jerk and a showoff
the only sincere, or 'humbling' quality I saw from Andrew in this video was the fact that he allowed Mark to "partake" in the experience. it really was unfortunate to see how he and his crew interacted with Mark..
It's called sarcasm..... I guess you just don't get it....
I thought it was only me that noticed Andrew acting so arrogant!
They were filming a television show. Andrew Zimmern's Driven By Food. The Bangkok episode. If you watch the episode hopefully you see Andrew and Mark talking and being more friendly. Mark was filming "behind the scenes" snippets when Andrew was not really ready. Do not judge until you have to be in front of a camera for hours and hours.
One of my favorite man andrew zimmerman bizzare food...great great man mark and andrew
I told you! Yeah yeah! I'm so HAPPY FOR YOU! You are FOOD NETWORK worthy! So awesome when will that show air! Mark you deserve it you and Ying sacrifice a lot to maintenance a quality channel!
next special Guess on the FN then your own show just keep showing you can cook too! than your in!
"Mr.Thailand"😄🍜🍤 do you like the title😀
Just do yourself bro... Mark you are so talented on your own!
Mark u r very humble kind down to earth and very sweet human being
This was a great show!! Idk what people are talking about but different personalities is what makes us unique 😇. Positive vibes = Positive life’s.
Exactly Andrew wasn’t at all like the comments say. I’ve watched all Andrews seasons and he’s been the same. He’s got that funny humor we’re people think he’s a prick now if it was Anthony bourdain that man is a total prick.
Ash Miller I understand where you’re coming from ! Some people can’t handle the truth they need a little white lie 😂.
I actually love Andrew zimmern for a very long time, but this video somehow change my perspective of him... he seems so cocky and self centered
Julie Goh agree with you. He couldn't handle the Asian persuasion 😂
Yes i used to like him so much but this video ewwww Nah not again . But Mark is very nice as always
😊
I'm not sure if u guys only trolling or u mean it.. But if you do then you blind.. He was cool and Mark too
Julie Goh omg I absolutely thought the same thing.... I couldn't shake his need to show his superiority to Mark.... like Mark was humble... and sooo proud to meet Andrew... but I felt like Andrew was making it clear that he was doing Mark a favor by having him hang out with him.... idk Andrew just didn't sit right with me... I could have watched this episode with much more joy without Andrew in it... honestly
Love Wiens and his always positive attitude. I enjoy his love of food and life. This is why I always watch his channel.
Your last meal of the day was very special for 3 important reasons: 1) It was the strangest one that Mr. Zimmern missed out on, 2) It was just you and Ying, 3) You put the camera away after the first bite which made it a date night!
"I'm eating breakfast". A whole fish in soup. I live in the US. Breakfast is eggs and toast lol. So different around the world :)
Donna Fassano That’s the beauty of diversity. This melting pot of intricate uniqueness mixed with different cultures and perspectives is part of what makes the world so beautiful.
That's a broad statement. Not all us Americans eat just eggs and toast for breakfast.
Back when i was in states I have always watched his tv show Mr.Andrew. love that guy
I loved this video with Andrew Zimmerman, one of my favorite food travelers. He is hilarious. I'm very sarcastic myself and totally understand his humor. As well, the advise about making a dinner date with your wife without a camera present is very wise advise.
