🥒 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.

@besteverfoodreviewshow this is the best show on UA-cam! Love watching you guys I hope the universe lets us meet one day. God bless and keep making awesome content
"People are not their governments, people are people." Nailed it.
That was his observation that stopped me for a moment. I lived in China for 18 years and left there recently with a deep dislike of their government, I find it difficult these days explaining to Australians how much I loved the people I mixed with in my daily life, the populace of countries with 'bully' regimes are not an indication of the person you meet in the street or restaurant. Nicely put Sunny.
Actually if you think about it, the people have more power than the government.
It's just that the government have bias views of those who can be allowed to have firearms.
If the people can be armed then they will have power then they can take over the capital once again.
For example, one common bias is that women are weak (despite many being very strong)... and that Asians have small pp (despite many having big pp)
I'm convinced that Iran has some of the prettiest people to go with some of the best food on the planet. Parnian looks like a Disney princess.
Yeah, I'm pretty taken by her. She's so charming and, not to sound too generic...those eyes.
Jordan is right there with them
@@thesadwolf touch some grass freak
@@betterwithrum Vanya was the prettiest though imo.
And the guy rejected her after she obviously was flirting with him!
man as an American I love Iranian food, I remember when I was kind of homeless for a while in South Korea, I had a friend there from Iran because his parents were refugees at that time before they became South Korean Citizens and I would used to stay at this friends house, his mom would wake up early everyday and just cook, it was some of the best food ive ever ate, this brought so much memories back
Yeah it's awesome to meet people from different countries and realise that we aren't all that different
I'm so glad you visited Iran. I got pretty emotional watching this video and cried a few times haha. As an Iranian living abroad ai always try to explain to people that Iran is a safe country with loving people! I guess a video like this is more powerful than 100 words huh!
Thank you for trusting Iran ❤️
Most of us realize thst Persianscare not the same as Mullahs. May God bless you and all Persians
مرسی 😂
My heart is touched by the sincerity , hospitality and kindness of the people of Iran.
...are you sure it's not just heartburn?
and after this Murica going to bomb them!

After watching the Egypt video, it's night and day how the culture is different. Despite the US having heavy sanctions on Iran, they still treat Americans with so much hospitality. Much respect and love.
Cause they’re not Arabs
I'm Iranian and this video helped me see it from a different perspective too. No matter where you're from. We always welcome you to our country and show you around
@@janefonda3749 Arabs are known for hospitality as well. I have been to Iran long time ago and it felt like home!
@@janefonda3749 What does being Arabe have to do with this? You are being racist here!
@@janefonda3749
hey Iranians always come to Iraq and no one bother them
no need to be racist
As someone who grew up in the Middle East, it’s very refreshing to see content that shows the beautiful, friendly, and hospitable nature of the amazing people that reside there. The culture is rich and storied, the food is fantastic. Can’t wait to visit there again one day.
They are very hospitable with foreigners but some how hostile between each others, jus a perspective
I really hope one day I can visit Iran. Forget my government and their government . I hear Iran has the kindest , warm people. I would love to get to know them. Blessings from America. We do not hate you. Don’t listen to news.
Iran looks waayyyyy more hospitable, organised and nice than Egypt does. And the food is definitely more refined. Yum
I mean I'm shocked too I live in Iran and saw the Egypt video and was like wait that its worse than us ? No way but I'm sure it's still better to live there cause of the inflammation being lower
@@benyaminsaki2686 absolutely!
Egypt is overrated
Actually Egypt is a desperate desert highly dependent on Nile river
@@benyaminsaki2686 iam persian speaking from Afghanistan and lived all my life in the west iran is way better than majority of western countries its à shame that they have put iran under sanctions iran without sanctions in 10 years will surpass alot of western countries
This is 2 hours long. And I've fallen in love with Iranians/Persians. What a dope culture. Love from Texas!
hii im ahmad and im from iran
we love you americans too
we are not our government
@@ahmadmirzaeizade312 we are not our government as well! If it were my way I'd wish for everyone to travel the world freely with peace and prosperity.
@@Gravvvyyy i came to America twice before
i hope and wish that you and your family could come to iran without any stress and problem

wish you and all our brothers and sisters in America the best
@@ahmadmirzaeizade312 I couldn't imagine what the plane ride was like! Haha. I thank you. I wish you well and good luck as well. I appreciate you even commenting! Hopefully one day soon I will visit your beautiful country! Good day!
Iran is a great civilization with people who like to be modern with an ancient mix.
A poem by the great historical poet of Iran.
I hope you like it - because my language is not perfect.
Draw a separation wall everywhere. You build a bridge with a brick made of love_
Amazing how many beautiful people Iran has, it is like they are not even trying! What's more beautiful is the culture and food, and how nice and friendly the people are.
90% of the women I saw in this video are stunningly beautiful by Western standards. Maybe we should lift the sanctions…
@@Sniperboy5551you’re why they don’t want it lifted lol
@@Sniperboy5551I was just thinking the same. Iranian women are beautiful.
@@Sniperboy5551imma say 100. Even the big girl was a baddie.
It is because Iranians are Persians, not Arabs. Make no mistakes, Arabs are beautiful too but Iranians/Persians are beautiful in a different (higher) level.
It is so good to see this video. My daughter's life was saved by Iranian American doctor when she was born premature. Without him, she would not be with us today. It was interesting to see him and his assistant talking in Farsi while delivering my baby. People are not their government. I had an Iranian college friend in California. She was so nice.
In a world where the media attempts to set countries and people against each other, this was an inspiring and refreshing view of Iran, Iranians and it’s food…it’s made me want to visit! 🇬🇧 ❤ 🇮🇷
Trust me, the media is just a pawn. It's the politicians and their sponsors with vested interests who then spin the narrative
Jail time 😮
@@user-ub5qp8sq1wyour gov propaganda is not working anymore iran is the safest country to visit its only dangerous if you’re a spy
I work with many Iranians and they are lovely, friendly people
This is by far the best episode , love to Iranian people from bahrain 🇧🇭
We love you too brother!!
I from iran and we love you
Dude Iran and Bahrain the same ♥️
People of Iran are beautiful people. The world needs to know that. Food, culture, traditions......beautiful ❤
Yes so mutch peace over there. Mostly for women.......
Yeah beautiful people until you say "fuck Allah" then your sweet their true colours...
But Islam destroys all.
@cathalg312 nah actually we don't care, that's just what you wana believe.
I LOVE this episode!! Iranian ppl are some of the kindest and most loving, open ppl on earth! They love sharing their history, which is the oldest in the world, and their culture...which is NOT their government!!! It is a BEAUTIFUL culture that I've had the pleasure to have gotten to know first hand through several friends of mine! I feel so blessed to have been included and let in to their homes and welcomed with open arms! Treated truly like family!!!!
Their government is okay too. If not, Iranians wouldn't vote for them over and over even though they knew they would be sanctioned forever. Maybe there is something wrong with the current American government instead of the current Iranian government.
@@udasan There is A LOT wrong with the current American govt!! Our core values in our Constitution are awesome... it's the politics and bureaucrats that ruin it all. And make a mockery of what this nation was meant to be.
Also, no government is perfect. I wish it were so but it just cannot be. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all could see both the good and the bad in each other and ourselves?
As a nurse I worked with one of the most beautiful Iranian ladies for years. Her kindness was top grade. She had a passion for any human being and knew that every patient she touched would be better from her teaching and care. She knew we are all humans and had no discrepancies on color, race, or, nationality.
Beautiful

Good job reading off the script
Iranian food is
F A B U L O U S !!!🇨🇦
I’m a from Mississippi, and I am thoroughly impressed with the Iranian people. I wish it was possible to visit and enjoy the culture. God bless.
You can come to Iran easily there are many companies to the all things for you like a visa and ticket... !😉
❤❤irani
@@alitn588 kindly advise i can came to Iran for a job
Having traveled to Iran three times in the last five years after retirement (and ending up staying much longer than planned on each trip lol) I cannot add a whole heck of a lot to what's been said already by countless others here. Except noticing how clean they and their cities are compared to other countries of the region... especially after watching the Cairo video! The subway in Tehran simply stands out. Iran definitely deserves another video (or two) considering that some of its prettiest regions and cities were skipped altogether. Don't blame Sonny at all... there are just soooo many cities and subcultures there. It's like dozens of countries and cultures merged into one 😍🥰🤤
Excellent work Sonny... I can see Bourdain smiling.
You are a badass Wade!
I can't believe that I have just finished watching 2.15 hour's straight.
It's the people who makes the culture beautiful. Media is lying with us. This is the best video I have watched from your channel so far. ❤❤
I like the thing that you watched the whole Iran video. I wish all people were like you. Iranian people are mind-blowing.
Much love for our Iranian brothers and sisters from Kenya
Love from iran.❤❤
Luv ya m8, much love from Iran
I'm from Jamaica and living in Canada and believe me I have known a lots Iranian within the last 50yrs they are the most wonderful and friendly ppl ever.....
Toronto I’m assuming :)
After watching this video I want to visit Iran 😢…it’s so beautiful with great people ❤ lots of love from India
I lived in Teheran Iran in 1976-1978. Absolutely LOVED the country. In my families 3 years there, we explored most of the country. Watching your experiences brings back a LOT of memories. That said, the country has seriously modernized from what it was back in the 1970s. Seeing the food, as well as all the other stores shown in passing, stirs my soul... Excellent video full of lots and lots of memories! You missed one key form of bread Barbari Bread is one of the staples. Most Americans and Europeans absolutely LOVED Barbari Bread. That's a bread in long, relatively thin loaves, with the bread itself about an inch thick after baking. Cooked much the same way in one of the large open ovens.
As I read more and more comments, I can't help but notice that compliments are being made back and forth between Iranians and US citizens. It doesnt matter that their politicians are at each others throats, I just see loving peoole reaching out to each other. And I find that both beautiful and inspiring. I don't think the creator of this video could have expected such awesome reactions and I for one am glad this documentary exists. To my Iranian brothers and sisters, please don't change and I hope to get to visit at least once before I kick the bucket.
Money talks
@@lescobrandon4586 nobody who is watching this is getting paid, so while money talks, its walk is limited . Bullshit is gonna be called out, well done food documentaries will be praised, and good vibe comments will be exchanged
@@katrinamccollough2944 funny it takes money to even wipe your ass let alone travel the world
Iran is one of the most incredible countries I've ever visited! Thank you for showing the real people of Iran so accurately, and not what their or other governments try to portray. Such a beautiful culture and country with incredible history and warmth, but so misportrayed and so tortured over these past few decades. Incredible respect for this channel!
Nina Cee I love what I see on this video.
Please if I want to visit Iran for any kind of holidays. Any link for the traveling procedures and protocols?
Misportrayed how?
Indeed Iran is a good country .but tbh they are so racist against poor countries and humiliate them .they are mostly( I said mostly not all) kind to people with wealth or from better countries .
Ps: I've been in Iran for years so I know them well.
@@andywalliant3189 Iranian people consistently rank as some of the friendliest and warmest people who place huge respect on foreigners, I've worked and lived there on and off all over the country for decades In fact, most for my western friends live there still despite the government change because of the people's openness. Sounds like you encountered people who work for the regime based on the experience you give if that was common enough of an encounter for you, because that is the only time whether you are Iranian or foreign that you are guaranteed to encounter hate as they are racist even towards Iranian people as they see themselves as Muslim and not iranian. They are the complete opposite and at conflict with the rest of society there... Which is exactly the point of my comment about their misportrayals from their own government. It's a very complex society and if you've been unlucky enough to encounter the government associated people then you really have not experienced actual Iranian society enough to warrant forming a genuine view of them.
Inviting you to visit the Islamic Republic of Iran one day. 🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷
Our country has best food and cuisines in world.
I love this episode! Not because I love Persian food but that this also showcased not just the food but also its people and culture! Persia, which is now Iran, is one of the great ancient civilizations and, I think, time has not changed that. Their people and their culture is still one of the greatest in our current time! We need more videos like this! Good job Sonny and staffs! And more power to your channel!
This guy has single-handedly taught me about other cultures and all the awesome food they offer.
This is really nice, everyone looks so friendly and welcoming. This is definitely gonna break stereotypes about Iran. Awesome documentary!
tbh all the imports are like that, I'm asian. For me it even comes down to eating, we wait until everyone's ready & we share. In Sydney I remember my good friends aussie family fighting over sharing pizza so their family always buys 1 for each person and no1 can mix anymore. So I only got to have 1 pizza flavour to not be intruding....
The people of Iran has always been amazing, and extremely smart. Not to be confused with their ayatollahs and revolutionary guard. 😏 Love the people of Iran and their delicious cuisine. 🤤 From a Mexican sister! ❤️
Made me want to go. Would be cool to learn some Persian. I can say hello and thank you in Arabic. Not sure how far that would get me lol. Kebabs are pretty popular in Scotland too.
people all over the world are the same. they just want to be able to have a relatively good and enjoyable life and or raise a family.. Politicians are the ones that destroy the world.
Come here in dubai, then you’ll see 😂
Iran is a hidden gem. Such beautiful people and the foods looks amazing
Iranians and Kurds are the best people of Middle East.
I just hope one day they will get freed from the bondage of oppression and the death grip of Islam!
@@vipr1142 its not Islam that oppresses them
Its their governments who claim to follow Islam
Oldest civilization in the world...
@@mrelius5149 I am Iranian, most of our problems all ultimately come down to Islam
@@aquate9637 well if the whole of Iran wants to renounce their religion go for it, their only Shia anyways
Sonny, I want to thank you for showing me a wonderful side of a country I have been raised to hate.
I would love to try the foods you have experienced in Iran, and mostly the wonderful people you have met along the way.
I am 58 yrs old and all I have ever been thought by the US and news is nothing but negative about Iran.
Again, thank you for opening my eyes to the other side of Iran.
I did nothing but smile the whole time I watched this video.
I was not only enamored with the food, but the gorgeous architecture and the lovely people. I want to experience Iran!❤
I love this episode. I feel educated and feel like more people need to see this side of different countries. No politics just people, culture, food and a beautiful presentation that shows Éronians and their amazing culture 👏
its pronounced iranians
absolutely agreed! 🕊☮

i wanna cry after read this comments and your documentary ,
my country (Iran) is safe place and hospitality for All of you , welcome to Iran ❤❤🌍🇮🇷
I love your country. Greetings from New Zealand!
I'm sorry our government tries to scare us away. Honestly it looks amazing there. And you seem like amazing and honorable people. I am so glad he was able to show the truth about you.
I would love to visit your country, Aloha from Hawaii! 🌺
Iran without mullahs would be a great destination to travel.
Iran does look beautiful and peaceful, but is it entirely safe for US citizens?
I never get tired of watching this episode, I've lost count of how many times. Iran is very impressive and wonderful country. The locals are amazing and very friendly too. Sonny's sense of humor always put a big smile on my face. Sonny stay healthy, you're fantastic!
We are really enjoying this series. How is Iran now? The people look so warm , friendly & welcoming and the food looks amazing!
2:12:45 "I came to Iran and it was nothing like the News showed me. One of the most destructive forces today is the ability for corporatized News to influence popular opinions, simply for what they choose to show or not show" Yes!! Thank you for saying this!
America literally does this to any country they deem an enemy state, it's no surprise at all. That's why people always say you need to travel to see the world for what it is, this is especially for ignorant people in the west who are lied to constantly by their "free media"
True
I am New Zealand Maori and can say that Iran has the best food! I lived in Tehran for 2 years, learning the langauge, culture and worked. Iranians are the most friendly, welcoming and hospitable people. They put alot of effort into their food which looks, smells and tastes amazing! Ohhh and they love to joke :D
No pork bone boilup there though🤣😂😅
@@darksideka 🤣 unfortunately!
I'm Iranian and i don't know half of the dishes :D Let me know if you wanted to visit Mashhad (It's the most religious city of Iran) I'll be happy to show you some new places.
@@darksideka If you really want it, you can find a way to get it in Iran. Whether it's alcohol or pork, I've had both there and I'm a dual national.
@@hosseinenayati3318 thanks! 😊, I actually visited the shrine of Imam Reza (as) but before that, I went to Qom to visit his sister Masumeh (sa).
It was so surreal because coming from such a small country, there's not alot of people everywhere but when I went to Iran, there's people everywhere so when I was visiting the shrine, people were moving like an ocean wave and I just went with the current lol. I didn't even have to move because I was getting pushed hahaha!
I still love Iran though, I miss the food alot! I can make a few of the dishes myself which I learnt from an elder. I would definitely go back there one day🙏
OMG, Thank you for your honest open food Documentaries, showing us the authentic culture and country. Now because of you Sunny, Iran is on my travel list. 😍❤🙏🏼👏🏼 Well done Bro!
One of the beautiful sides of the beautiful country of Iran & the people of Iran are sweet with a warm heart ❤

I would absolutely love the chance to visit Iran after watching this and experience the culture and understand more about the people I have witnessed in this video. This was a great video. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
you would love the nature, the hospitality, the food and the ease of life , when you go to iran although there is modern life style but sometimes you can feel you live in centuries back .

@@mahdinazari1043 Lovely, Heartwarming people you are! ♥️
Regardless of what your local/national government and media might make you think, most humans are inherently good people who are happy to meet others from any and all walks of life. It warms my heart to see a content creator going out of his way to show that we've been fooled into hating one another simply because of geographical location.
Wow! I am an American but I would love to visit Iran one day! The people look beautiful and kind and the food looks delicious! Gonna try to look up some Iranian recipes next so I can try to get a taste at home 💕
Damn seeing people smile as they let you try their food brings me joy, they make everything with love 🇨🇦 🖤 🇮🇷
Looks so delicious.

Iranians are my favorite people from Middle East! Kurds and Iranians. Always very nice toward me (my mother is Swedish and my father is Indian). I like that we have a lot of similar words in our languages.

And my kids love it. I’m always telling my uncle that I wish I could visit Iran. My uncle comes from a village in the hills of Iran. I’ve only seen it in pictures and I love it. ❤
Irony… watched Egypt first.. a place I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go to.. then Iran A place I’ve NEVER wanted to go to.. NOW.. I want to go to Iran… Rich culture, beautiful warm people.. amazing .. Talk about a reversal by watching 2 videos in Succession
Be sure to travel to Iran. Welcome in advance
You'll be amazed, Iran's the absolute secret tip
Same here I’ve always wanted to go to Egypt but after the video I was like never mind but Iran looks like a wonderful place to visit
this is the power of researching
OMG same!
Sonny, you've completely changed my perspective about Iran and their beautiful people. Can't wait to visit 😊
Sending love❤
the people of all countries are beautiful its what they believe that makes them bad

Sunny glad to know more foodies from UA-cam in the states are coming to Iran 🇮🇷 to enjoy the culture and food. The presentation represents the people of Iran are friendly,generous, and kind hearted. People make the nation not the government . The government misrepresents the true soul of the people of Iran. You make a great food ambassador. 😊😊😊
Thank you very much for my comment . Keep on traveling with a great attitude on life as well.
What a wonderful episode. We need to embrace our inner foodie and dismiss politics. I used to visit Iran often before the revolution, and enjoyed being in such a wonderful culture. Nothing is perfect, put politics aside, and enjoy the wonderful food and hospitality of the Iranian/Persian people.
Thanks. People can’t seem to stop with their baseless opinions. It’s a food review video. It’s like why watch him. He goes to all foreign countries. People are running out of places to complain
The country and people are so beautiful! Greetings to Iran from Serbia!

For real. I totally agree!
@@nosearches8340 definitely
1:01:40 The paid actor in question:
I absolutely loved watching this series, the people are so beautiful and warm. I'm not sure I would try all the food but enjoyed your willingness to try everything. I'm from Australia but like everyone we think of Iran as a war torn country because of the journalism we see. Thankyou for showing us what life there is really like.
After watching this I'm really looking forward to my trip to Iran... Loving the vibes and people and ofcourse the food already ❤❤❤❤
From Cuba to Iran... loving these long episodes! The production just keeps getting better and better... so insightful, culture rich, eyeopening and this food 🤤🤤 the cuts in this episode were perfect 😙🤌
WARNING: Sonny's amazing long food episodes may cause the following symptoms: Severe belly rumblings, Mega mouth watering spells, a gigantic craving for all this tasty food (something different, for example I'm English, so it's nice to see how amazing looking, tasty and well presented the foods are), but the biggest symptom of them all is the 'itchy bug' to go and try new cuisines/cultures and push you out of your comfort zone.
These are old
The biggest take away from the places he goes is dispelling the Foux News mentality of world travel. With common sense and a little planning, we are safe in any of these countries, even Russia
@@sev3n7z The cultures, or the dishes?
@@inmyopinion6836 the faux news mentality.......people like you seriously make me laugh, EVERYTHING is fake, just like this covid stuff, as the 'media' only conveniently tell people what they want them to belive, or with covid to spread more worry and panic then is even justified. Anyone is safe in any single country of the world, as long as your polite, respectful, and you stick to their rules/regulations so that your not purposely going against them and bringing trouble or issues to yourself. Countries like iran, Iraq, Afghanistan etc are all safe.
Man, Anthony Bourdain would be so proud of this show and what you are doing. In so many ways, this reminds me fondly of Places Unknown and the whole editing process and production feels like that high level Food Channel production.
Well done on all the work that you all do!
I'd say its better production value and more true to life. Food Channel edits too much content and hobbles too much together. I really enjoy how Places Unknown was put together with Bourdain's amazing monologues he's a fantastic writer.
Iranians are some of the most generous, kind, wonderful and surprisingly funny people you will ever meet. Great documentary,
As a Brit and young child I spent several years there up to mid-1977, yes interesting times. However as a kid from 70's UK it amazed me and was a wonderous time for the whole family. Used to love the winters- actually real snow and not the grey mess we often experience here in the UK. Can still count (up to 10 anyway, direct left and right and say good morning, also was amazed that several words are shared with the French language).
Just finished watching the Egypt episodes. This video open eyes and perspectives in a positive way of how to look at Iran far from the media. This is just joyful to watch and educational at the same time. What a beautiful country despite all the sanctions and restrictions the only thing that got bad in Iran is the inflation not the behavior of people.
@@ABCD-xg6nr well, Iran had been through many sanctions far before egyptian revolution, so they have habituated with difficulties, they are well experienced on this so they can handle the mess.
Well the media's controlled by the government, whom spent a portion of late 20th/early 21st century fucking up the middle east and then trying to justify their actions afterwards.
and the government
@@ABCD-xg6nr according to the government, Egypt is supposedly the safest it has been in years. Everything still sucks because of corruption, has nothing to do with safety. An elected president has been in power for 8 years now, as stable as any country can get
@@indragoens not the government
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, the people of Iran come across really well and the co-presenters in this were all brilliant
I swear. I loved it so much
Thank you so much for beautiful memories of visiting Iran & hello to all the friends we had to leave behind. Beautiful & wonderful people!
amazing work, have loved Iran and its people and culture for very long time, no wonder my name is Soraya,a very persian name.
Really🤗
Is your name Soraya!!?
This is an Iranian name
But your appearance is not like Iranians
Can I ask where are you from and how do you have an Iranian name?
I’m from Iran but living in Canada. Honestly whenever I miss Iran I watch this episode as it demonstrate all the places and culture accurately. This is one truly great channel on youtube. Keep up the great show
same I also live in Canada
Why in the world would you move from Iran to Canada?
@@alZiiHardstylez because of economy and opportunities
@@alZiiHardstylez only one of the most prosperous, democratic countries in the entire world.... Yeah, who would want so of that prosperity and freedom !?!
@@needmoreramsay I truly hope you're being sarcastic.
I’ve never seen a video showing this true side of Iran, I’m honestly very surprised at how beautiful it is! I would love to visit someday
I mean people are people.they love each other they take care of each other.no matter where they belong.im iranian my self. In our calture we worship guests.from our own homeland or any where else on this earth. Guests are really value to us. Our home is their home our food are their food.our heart is their heart.iranians are really warm and welcoming when its come to foreign people.
Peace
Governments lie. All of them lol
Bruh women are getting murdered by the dozens for standing up for their rights. You don't know shit about the fucking horrors that are occurring there. Women are fighting for their fucking lives, to be seen as valid equal human beings. And are being shot dead for it.
@@chungawumba2637 You now have this view because of recent news. Obviously my comment is from 5 MONTHS ago so I was not aware of the political bs going on in Iran. You can take your anger to Iranians and their government.
I wish I could like this more than once, what an eye opening video. Welldone to the team!
Stumbled on this accidentally...oh what a gem! I'm glad I found it! Such beautiful display of Iran's food, culture & people...I would love to visit Iran one day! & haha, I love love love your humour & respectful nature going into it!
Visiting Tehran, Iran is one of my bucketlist before I die 🤩 greetings from Indonesia for beautiful Iranians!🥰
Sonny man, if it weren’t for you, I’d be completely oblivious, you’re pretty much the only good experience show I watch, and the info is amazing, you make me wanna visit every country you did. 😍😍😍 Iran, who knew?! With all the war crap with the States, you don’t get to hear much about the people and culture. This is a real treat Sonny, thanks man!
You like iran? We are so happy for beautifull comments _😊😘
We all welcome you to visit 😊
@@randomized4368 I will one day!
@@bjkl9936Happy to hear that.
We welcome you to visit as well 😊
he's not ABourdain, but he has the same respect for food.
Beautiful place, amazing food, and loving honest people ...
Sonny, your curiosity and open-mindedness coupled with the respect you show towards other cultures are inspirational. Keep up the great work!
i’m armenian from LA, i love iranian food and culture so much because a lot of it overlaps with my own culture. so glad you got to visit our long time neighbors! :) 🇦🇲💗🇮🇷
same born Glendale Adventist Hospital n raised Burbank mostly /Glendale /Tujunga...people don't be deceived. Dad was born Christian Armenian/Persian n raised in Tehran being in small part Christian communities most get a long and know each other but some of pure blood Persian muslims hated the Armenian/Persian Christians, he stayed even after Revolution they would gather n protect the blocks, a llt of insane stories how tiny crime a Persian Muslim lets say 50-100 lashes he would get double 200 lashes couldn't leave bed for couple days from bruises cut skin etc way harder hits n treatments. You could tell a lot of em that silent fake smiles show the "death to America" slogan and surprised they let him in probably had people watch n follow to see if he is a spy or not, 10000%
we love yall too your our favorite neighbors ❤
🇺🇸
have you tried Iranian food?
We love you too🇮🇷❤🇦🇲
Iran and Iranians have been presented badly on western news channels for a long time, it's a country with Rich culture, Beautiful and welcoming people and Awesome food. 👌
@@magnolia549 I second that, I love Iran
Not western media, just the US ones. In Europe we are all fine with Iran people.
Rich culture? That's an understatement. Iran is a culture.
Also, it's kind of shitty in what state Iran is currently.
Iran suffered less than mothetland Russia, we are demons and barbarians in their eyes nowadays... Media rules the world.
US media is biased
loved this video! anytime you revisit Iran definitely check out the northern provinces, they are amazing !!
Such lovely people with beautiful smiles and amazing food! One of my favorite restaurants was Persian Iranian. I hope one day to try more of their amazing food.
Iran is VERY beautiful. The food, culture, people. Please don't confuse a regime with the population.
@Jordan Jay not arab
@Jordan Jay Persians
@Jordan Jay PERSIANS ARE NOT ARAB...
BEutifull Women too !
Iran is VERY beautiful.... yeahhh If u lucky u see gay's hanning....
This makes me want to go to Iran so badly. Weirdly enough, I have never considered it as a travel destination but I do now!
You should. It's a beautiful country and the food is delicious!
I wish more people would realize this and wish we had more tourists here. Iran has a lot of potential to be a popular tourist site but is unfortunately still unknown to a lot of people around the world. Hope things get better in the future.
And also you're always welcome to visit :)
Same
@@amirh8748 not unknown but unstable and dangerous for women travelling alone.
@@dannil9878 there are bad people everywhere, which is something most travelers tend to forget or ignore. but with the right guide and blah blah blah, in short: tourist and travelers should be careful and dont trust anyone while travelling anywhere.
I hope you had a good time in my home country, i left iran 1978 and i missed my beautiful country very much 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲❤️❤️
My coworker, Janet, an American, was when I was at USF, married to an Iranian who also worked for the University (I only worked 20 hours a week because I was "carrying " 15 units.
But, even though I haven't a kitchen anymore, I do enjoy reading about different cuisines!
their honesty and hospitality is on another level, this has thought me a lot and Iranian people are beautiful seem very humble . the also have beautiful culture, foods and country my favorite video so far!
💯
Yea because in their religion you must be hospitable. Like if some person shows up you your house you must let them in, feed and clothe them for 3 days and after those 3 days you may ask why they came. Bunch of nice folks
@Flower7 Of course, what do you mean? A lot of Indians travel to Iran and are treated well, why would the colour of the skin matter?
No it doesn't have anything to do with the religion it has to do with the culture. Persian culture is way older than Islam.
I love when sunny said, “people are not the government,” we’re supposed to be nice to each other, no matter where we come from.
Am Nigerian, 🇳🇬 and i love humans ❤️
Bless u my man! Much love from iranian in germany🙏🏽
Unfortunately that does not apply to all people. Blacks have no friends, because we are God's people, who have lost our way. If my people will...the world hates us just like they really hate God. We need to Repent and cry out to God then he will cover us from all our enemies.
@@childofGodsKingdom iranian people love black people
@@childofGodsKingdom I love all people, and like all kind people.
And yes there are a lot of people I don't like but there's more that I do and like or not, love is for all.
@@ADRIN_rswli dont tell that to any of your islamic friends
This is my fave episode out of all them. Amazing Iran with it's warm people and food.
This really taught me that I know nothing about Middle East. News media gave me nothing but fear and ignorance on those lovely people. I should learn more and travel more.
I’m an Aussie, my 3 cousins are all married to Iranian men, my sister is engaged to an Iranian man, I have grown up all my life with Muslim friends and they and their families are the most beautiful and hospitable people on the planet, never believe everything you hear from the fake media, their culture and food are something to be experienced, you never leave their homes hungry and that’s a good thing cos once you try the food you can’t get enough of it. The perfect comment, “ people are not their governments “ I’ve also never met an impolite Chinese person or many other countries
Isis coming soon.
@@timhmar6010 ISIS IS MOSAAD! Wake up sheeple.
I think that you have made the perfect comment…. I couldn’t put it any better. 👍🏻
@@timhmar6010 If it wasn't because of Iran, the US-Israel made ISIS had taken over the region.
Please don't use the term "fake media". It is a propaganda term used by dictators and wannabe dictators (*cough* Trump) to discredit critical reporting in the news media. It is up to each and every person to have enough media sophistication to know if what they see on the news is truthful reporting or opinions and that what makes the news are the actions of a few and usually powerful individuals trying to gain power or money or both.
You wouldn't want the news to be showing everyday people in a distant country going to work, meeting friends, and eating good home cooked food. Yet that is the reality for 99.9999999% of the global population. That's what documentaries, movies, and UA-cam are for.
We need to finally realize that and act accordingly instead of taking the easy route and blaming "the media" for our own biased and racist views. Read and watch media from different countries, don't get your news always from the same sources, learn a language, and travel.
Made me emotional to see how 2 different cultures can come together and enjoy such lovely food. Thank you for such an authentic video of the Iranian people. May God bless them.
متشکرم
It's the first time for me to complete a 2 hrs UA-cam video and I never felt bored in between. I've really enjoyed it.
i never considered visiting Iran. but after this it’s definitely made me curious & would love to visit this lovely country someday! thanks for sharing sonny!
I'm Korean, my best friend is Iranian (we've been best friends for over 30 years, since jr high school). I LOVE Persian food. I gotta honestly say, Persian rice is, IMO, BETTER than Korean rice. I love me some Lubia Polo, Ghormeh Sabzi, Gheimeh, Barg, Koobideh, Fesenjoon and you HAVE to have a bit of Mast-O-Khiar on the side. SOOO....GOOD...Honestly, I'm salivating right now. Maybe I'll call my buddy tomorrow and see if his mom's doing any cooking. We might have to drive over there to visit and say hi, conveniently around dinner time. ;P
On the other hand, my best friend LOVES Korean cooking as well. He LOVES Galbi, LA Galbi, Bulgogi (especially when you wrap it in lettuce with rice and Ssamjang), Bibimbap, Kimchi Bokkeumbap, Gimbap, Dak Juk (with a little extra salt), Memil Kuksu (during long hot summer days of us playing outside during summer vacation) etc...
He even made up a song about Boricha when we were kids, that he would randomly sing, out of the blue (in a slow lounge singer way). It went, "Boricha, Boricha...........Boricha, Boricha." repeat ad nauseam. He called it "The Boricha Song" lol.
THIS, is a perfect example of what's great about America.
HAHHAHA THIS IS SUCH A CUTE STORY!!! Im exactly like ur friend💀 iranian who absolutely LUVS Korean food!!! Now i just need someone like u💪🏼😮💨
Hahahaha very cute and wholesome
Raizor, you named some of my favorite dishes. I can eat Gormeh Sabzi for bfast, lunch & dinner.
Wholesome stories!
"Persian rice" do you mean imported Basmati on indigenous Persian rice?
As an Afghan I would to say Iran is nicest country in the world I love them
Afghan people have always been our brothers and sisters. Citizens of a country do not carry/represent their government but their true culture 💕
That’s very nice of you. I personally love your people too☺️
Afghanistan :)
love from Iran to my Afghan brother.
🇦🇫❤
Every single episode of this series I see, my world expands. I want to go to Uzbekistan, I want to go to Nigeria, I want to go to Iran. The people living in these different places and their culture is so incredibly amazing. All of these people are just normal people living their lives, dating, partying, cooking, dancing, singing.. I've actually been in tears so many times watching this show. It males me so happy and sad at the same time. All these governments and sick leaders, all the misinformation, alienation and stereotypes some try to push. People are just people. We're all human. I'm deeply moved and I did not expect it! Love and peace from Norway. ❤
Watching from Kenya,. This is the most interesting episode I have ever watched.
The culture, the beautiful and friendly people and the mouth watering food. An experience like no other.
My perspective and that of many others has completely been changed after watching this. Thank you BEFRS for showing us what the media doesn't.
As a Morrocan, i love the Iranian people and food, this was amazing to watch as i have family in Iraq and always wanted to visit Iran. This definitely has me curious.
I love how they look at him while he tastes the dishes waiting for him to say what he thought of them. Food is one of the most important components of any cultures and sharing that is such an amazing experience.
Shia? 😲👍
I love Persian culture, food and people ❤❤
The people of Iran are amazing much respect from Scotland
I watched many video episodes of this great man..and he is truly an example of what humanity should be. Regardless of his color or nationality, he is a humble, beloved, cultured and respected person to the point that everyone appreciates him, cooperates with him, and respects him. We thank him very much as he offers us the fruits of these painstaking and very expensive tours that he did and we watch while sitting in our homes all over the world. I also do not forget his good selection of his translators and companions.. he has all our love
Abu Hisham - Sudanese
Actually having a tour in Iran would end very cheap for anyone. Weakest money on earth.
I'm from Saudi Arabia and once we put aside these politics agenda and differences, I find Iranian people are one of the most generous, hospitable and friendly people. I love Persian foods especially the Iranian made desserts. I had two friends from Iran back in the days when we were studying in the UK. All the love guys
Much love to Saudi people
Omg the deserts and sweets are the best!💥
I am a saudi who studied in the US iranis really disliked me and other Saudis just being Saudis and I don’t blame them i blame there government because they are really nice people to others but were taught wrong
@@xwhels So sorry to hear that. It happens everywhere, chinese with japanese, Iranians and Saudis..etc. So I guess it's our duties to clarify that people are separated from government actions
@@xwhels Iranians dislike Arab culture but not Arab people
Very interesting and informative video, I learnt alot about Iran it's food, people and culture. I really really enjoyed watching it.
