🥒 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.

It was an honor to be part of such an important video. I've been involved in the Syrian refugee crisis since a young teen, visiting camps and helping as much as I could with education, food banks, etc... I really hope this issue gets solved in the near future, as it is an important one. Syrians are full of potential, and their culture is extremely rich in every possible way. Glad Sonny and his team decided to shed light on the food aspect of it 🙌🏼.

[Erin-S]

This made me cry. So much love to the Syrian people and those living in refugee camps.

[missroyaa]

What I love about this culture is the heartfelt manner in which they welcome guests. Despite possessing very little, they give their guests more than they have

[NennMichBoss]

I love how BEFRS is no longer just a food show but each episode is like a mini documentary about the culture and its people.

[momenbad]

As a Jordanian, we have a lot of Syrian refugees and we know a lot about Syria, Syrians well educated people and very generous and loving life, it’s never been like this, and hope these people find their way back to home, peace to Syria and Palestine 🇵🇸🇯🇴 🇸🇾

[alisidawi]

As a Syrian thank you sir for your visit and highlight the struggling of living in the camps, and I hope you enjoyed our type of food

[ahmadkadan]

As a Syrian, thank you for shedding light on Syrian refugees and their living conditions in Lebanon ❤

[JLT]

I used to be a refugee. Watching this it brings tear to my eyes. I hope one day these people will be able to return home or settle in the third country. Thank you Sonny for this episode.

[ReeeMoo]

I didn't expect to cry watching a food show but here we are. As an Egyptian I didn't know most of the details presented in the video.. I always knew it was bad but not to the details. My heart goes to all Syrians in Refugee camps. May they find a better opportunity in life. Thank you Sonny for this video

This Food Channel is not just about food and culture but with heart and empathy.

[adanielweaver]

I had the privilege of traveling to Syria before the war, I was one of very few Americans without a family connection to travel there. The food there was absolutely incredible, some of the most delicious flavors I've ever tried. The people were also all incredibly friendly and welcoming, and excited to show us their incredible history.

Two stories stick out. One was a guy who saw my family walking and called out, "Americans! We love Americans! We don't like your government, but we love Americans!" Same buddy.

Another was I was trying to find a place I could buy some water. I speak no Arabic, so I walked up to some guy on the street and tried to hand signal wanting to buy some water and he just handed me the bottle he had.

What wonderful people. I hope I can go back one day.

[ashsparkle]

I'm not Syrian but my God I feelnfor these people. I just feel like crying hearing about their story and seeing the way they live. Thank you so much for going there and sharing their culture and food with us, much love ❤

[megatronmacek]

My family is Slovak. We make cabbage rolls but our recipe is slightly different. It's amazing how recipes change across the world. I pray for Syria and tgat the people can get their homeland back. There's no winners in war, only death and destruction.

[solmartel]

It’s always the innocent that suffer the most in war. It’s unfair and disgusting. I usually prefer not to watch videos like this but this channel never disappoints and manages to make reality less brutal for me, at least. Thank you for sharing!

[elitescouter]

I watched this with my eyes full of tears. Similar happened to us in Bosnia and no we are living in a foreign country far from home. Seeing how these people are living makes me cherish and value everything I have, this is an eye opener that life could be harder than what it currently is. I pray for all the people, I wish them nothing but best in their lives.

[i-am-your-conscience]

I am impressed how Sonny can manage to bring important political, economic, social topics into his food videos without being forceful about it.
And is able to make people conscious about things they try not to think about, to think about them.
This sets him apart for a most of other YouTubers, and especially food vloggers who really just care about food normally.
He does it in a really great way. He deserved any of the 10 million followers he has, and I wish him more.
If he continues doing videos like this, his reach cant be big enough

(Which is maybe the only way to make especially people from his home country care about these things, Europe takes most of the burdens of those problems.. Not exactly the countries who caused them in the first place)

[mohamadnooralawis]

As a syrian, this video made me cry. I was born in the United States but moved to Aleppo, Syria when I was 1 and lived there until 2012 just as the civil war got worse. I am extremely lucky for having the privilege to come back to the U.S as a citizen. Millions of others were not as fortunate which breaks my heart. Thank you for making this video.

[iTz_Senpai_]

yeah we as syrians we suffered lot in the last 12 years, but we are grateful for alah for what we have. and thanks for showing all this Sonny! hopefully you would visit our country in future in way better situations!

[khiemduong]

I love that as a content creator or influencer, Sonny and his team are addressing political topics on THEIR terms and in the perspective THEY AND the people effected want to address things. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
