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.

My mom is from Emmitsburg MD, and when I was a boy and we went to visit my grandma, we'd always go to the Ott House and get grocery bags full of blue crabs in Old Bay. We'd take them back to Grandma's, lay out newspaper on the living room floor, and break up/eat crab all afternoon. We were poor, but ALWAYS did this. Thanks for awakening those great memories. I miss Grandma a lot.

As a Marylander born and raised, I was super delighted that you did an episode/video on our world famous blue crabs and the hard work of commercial crabbing on the Bay. Sonny, I urge you to come back for a second tour as there are tons of other great things to cover in Maryland beyond crabs. An episode or episodes on the Eastern Shore would definitely take viewers through some breathtaking views of beach and shore life. But also there are hidden gem beer breweries that would let you do videos in the area of farm to table. And of course your tour should include Washington, DC and parts of Northern VA. For example, two unique multiple Michelin star places like Inn at Little Washington or Jose Andreas's Minibar have been covered by the media before but never by food travel influencers. I know your team has a lot of locals to choose from each year, especially when you have the full globe to choose from but Maryland should definitely be a follow-on stop for your next tour back in the States.

Hi proud Marylander here. To say I'm proud of our crabs would be a huge understatement. To some here it's more than just a culture that brings people together so thanks for coming by to show our Chesapeake bay!

[urbanburner]

Congratulations on beating the brakes off the other food content creators, your show is officially the best, cheers from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

Man's said "little parsley for health" hit me real hard

[_FARM]

that's awesome Luke McFadden gets some publicity in the video. His videos are great!

Marylanders don't boil crabs! They steam them. 🦀

[Arthur-hgny]

“Don’t get high on your own supply” was brilliant! I lmao

[DamOneMan]

CJ looks like a whole different person without the sunglasses on

[jondoe]

This is not just a food & travel channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old man. 🥰👍

[theushanka]

I’m a truck driver and deliver to Maryland often and when I first went out there 2 years ago I had my first Maryland crab cake and I got to say if you haven’t been it’s definitely worth it to try best crab in the country 👍

[IceHouse]

"ya help em right outta the shell.. into the frying pan" lmaoo

[McNodroG]

The speech about the sustainability of the fisherman in that place really got me, I felt that a lot. Thats how it should be

[CarlosRodriguez-ddsb]

I used to fish for blue crabs as a young child in Puerto Rico - we used a piece of meat on a string and a bent wire clothes hanger (you hook the claw).

[brandonmiller]

I live on the Chesapeake. I boat, fish and crab here all the time. Tks for coming here.

[joe]

Great show! U did MD crabs justice!! BUT
1. You said boil more than once. We steam crabs here!! Usually with beer and seasoning of choice. We leave the boiled crabs to Louisiana
2. Eastern shore is really putting JO on the map! I can officially say it is the superior seafood seasoning (yes, better than old bay)
3. Soft shell crabs are amazing but I think they are best lightly fried. Sue ur momma.
4. S/o to Luke who is killing it on social media. Keep up the great work fellas.
5. Odessy Crab House, Ive never heard of im comin for u!

[BlackbeardJohnson]

Yea, as a Marylander we are 100% biased lol. I was a commercial waterman for about 8 years and I must say it takes a special breed to do what we do. I did “trot line” crabbing. 5k feet of long line with bait tied on every 4 ft or so. Lots of work baiting lines everyday and then crabbing the next morning at 3am. Thanks for showing our beloved (best) crabs and state to best food reviewers 🙏💙💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[MarkyShaw]

So glad you visited my home state! Greetings from Ocean City, MD.

[durbindurbin]

This is my culture thru and thru this video ❤thanks for giving Marylanders this shine.
