Ok, posting 4 yrs later, can’t help it. My fave dish at our local Szechuan restaurant is charred stir fried cabbage. I don’t if it’s rly Szechuan, but never seen it anywhere else. They tell me they test new chefs on whether they can make the sauce. (Bernie Sanders ate there when he visited nearby in 2016, I assume he got the word, it’s so good.) That place aside, best Szechuan place I’ve eaten at was a literal hole in the wall in Bloomington IN, where our son went to school. The menu was taped around the walls scrawled on paper plates, in Chinese. Very few dishes in English, but it was all awesome. College towns can rly be the best for authentic ethnic foods of all kinds if you look.

As a native from Chengdu(in Szechuan), I have to say, you are totally right. :)

You should list the dish names in the description.

NEVER smoke pot and watch Strictly Dumpling's videos at the same time. NEVER EVER. Btw, man, you have a lifetime sub from me. You made me wish to move to the US or China ;D

Mike, you mentioned that you eat out often...please do food vlogs of what you eat at restaurants. Btw. I love your food tip and advice videos like this one and the hot pot video.

I saw the shredded potatoes with Sichuan pepper at a local restaurant and was intrigued so I looked up a recipe and made it myself. To die for!! Absolutely incredible.

the dry fried green beans and fish flavored eggplants are our faves! the twice cooked pork is also really yummy and dan dan noodles are perfect for the brutal winter of Liverpool, UK.

Oh Mike... I love ALL the dishes you mention, esp the 水煮鱼 and the 夫妻肺片。

[nazilahhashim]

Love love love Szechuan food. It's the best thing ever. Being Indian and foodies we like try new things and are attracted to the words "Spicy" so we just love this kind of food. And a Chinese uncle once told us that we order like real Chinese people so that made us happy :) The water braised fish was too good to be true

[NTDOffTheGreatWall]

You should do a food vlog show like on the food network! You eat at all types of places!

I absolutely love authentic chinese food secheun dishes included. Ma po dofu is one of my favorites. (I've actually successfully made it with secheun pepper corns an doupan jan /the broad bean paste)

Ps please excuse my spelling as I don't speak Chinese or chinese dialectics

Am so happy... I'm an Indian living in Sydney, Australia and my wife and I have had all of these dishes except a few (Lungs one, potato noodles) We make Mapo Tofu once a fortnight at home as well.. with the proper Douban Jiang and Tin Min Jiang (sorry if I spelt them wrong)!! Love to Sichuan food from 2 Indians!! Maybe 3, so far my 2 year old daughter likes tofu.. she'll get there..

Mike, I wanted to say thank you for this video. Growing up in the South, I never had authentic Szechuan food before. Thanks to your channel, I was able to track down a restaurant where I'm vacationing right now. We just finished our meal about an hour ago and we loved it! I got the water braised beef and my wife got the spicy chicken. We're going back in a few days for more stuff, maybe a hot pot or some pork belly and fu qi fei pian. Once again, thank you :)

I like chicken feets. My grandma used to make a soup with them (I grow up in Bulgaria), but I had them in Canada (Sechuan restaurant) with ginger, garlic, and chilli peppers...etc. I liked very much the dumplings in hot oil, so now I know how to make them at home:)

[atasteoftheworld]

Great rundown. I love the fried chicken with chili peppers, but now I have some other dishes to try. Thank you!

[sobetobey]

I'm obsessed with the bone in chicken with green peppers, Kung bao chicken, double cooked pork, spicy cold noodles!!! 😍😍😍😍

[Asciel]

going to Sichuan soon, thanks for the heads-up!

i have these horrible memories of when i stayed up in these beautiful mountains near a few hours from Cheng Du and all I ate was Szechuan food. the first 3 days I thought I was in heaven eating my fave food everyday, then after a week my stomach just wasn't having it. Since the area I was in was more rural there was only a few restaurants there and you gotta be careful with the food there. Unfortunately on the last day before I was in Cheng Du I got sick (like extreme need of a bathroom sick), I was stuck on a bus for a few hours that wasn't stopping. By the time I reached the first pit stop in the city I was just about to explode, and I did...good times good times...
