    I live in Phoenix. I watch every video regardless of whether I have access to these restaurants or not. You are a genuinely interesting, smart, engaging content creator. You do what you do for the right reasons. You’re honest without being mean. You respect what the mom and pop restaurants deal with on a daily basis. Plus, I love the nuanced conversations that make people think. Thanks for doing what you do. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 😊

    Hope this isn't the end of the series. I enjoy seeing how different each places same dishes are compared to the others. It made me start checking out other Chinese places in my area again to see if I could find a better one than my favorite. If this is the end, thanks for doing it. Happy Thanksgiving!

      Same here! I've known for years there were like 5 different Chinese spots around me but wasn't until this series I actually questioned if they tasted any different (I ignorantly assumed they each tasted the same lol) now I have a new favorite spot

    Grew up with the "Bulletproof Chinese" spots as well called them since they have glass up and the food just is solid and affordable. Ive never seen a pork chop sandwich from a chinese restaurant but you need to order that homemade iced tea next time. Good video.

      Why is that? Do they think Chinese places will be closed on Thanksgiving (are they? Never looked) There are tons of immigrants and people from immigrant families who don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Hell, I went to the movies last year on Thanksgiving.

(My relationship with food is not good) so it is refreshing to see u enjoy foods from all different kinds of places. these vids are therapeutic, even for someone who struggles with eating. So thank you. I live in Canada and will watch every single video regardless. Loll

    Bro, I totally feel you regarding the egg rolls, it’s impossible finding a good egg roll by me. I live in New York on Long Island, not too far from the city but a lot of the Chinese restaurants fell off because they are run by recent arriving Chinese immigrants from mainland china. The OG restaurant owners from the 80’s/90’s were from Hong Kong. They made the fire Chinese food but they all sold their restaurants and retired.

    The Singapore mei fun spice should come mainly from the curry powder. I'm cool with chilli flakes but when they add chilli oil it tends to overpower the curry and it throws the flavor. 2 spots in my area add the oil and I stopped ordering it. I could tell by the color while you were forking it was going to be off.
