🥒 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.

Amazing that Abir's lighting is just daylight. The cinematography and editing on her videos is pure art. Great work, Abir!

I am happy Abir said Bismillah (in the name of Allah) before flipping rhe pot. She just exudes calming vibes. Lets go to Lebanon!

Did anyone notice Abir's Palestine clock?? I love her and I love her videos, her conviction, and just her genuine character! She's a treasure for the Lebanese people but she's also a treasure to food lovers and humans everywhere!

Sonny, as a lebanese person, we really appreciate all the exposure man, Lebanon REALLY needs it right now

[AmbrotosArkhon]

One of my favorite things about this episode is Sonny using his years of experience to show someone he's interviewing a part of the food that they cooked which they don't even normally eat. Food is amazing.

[adhir]

Abir is such a talented cook and content creator. I remember when she first started posting on TikTok, I was amazed at how simple yet amazing her videos were. I hope her social media accounts continue to grow and more people from all different parts of the world get to see her content.

Sonny freaking out Abir with by explaining the different parts of the sheep head is hilarious 😂
