Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. People either enjoyed my undeniable charm or enjoyed watching me eat things like coconut worms, and thus Best Ever Food Review Show came to be.

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.

I liked this co-host. Sonny pls consider having co-hosts of all ages. It brings a range of perspectives.

For people who don't know the meaning of salaryman, according to Wikipedia definition, a salaryman (サラリーマン, Sararīman) is a salaried worker and, more specifically, a Japanese white-collar worker who shows overriding loyalty to the corporation where he works.

[RedDevils]

His guide was awesome. Showed him what seems to be authentic customs and some cool spots. This made me want to visit Japan for sure!

[bigcheeto]

“Honestly no one watches this far into the video”

Me: **feels offended because a true viewer watches the video from start to finish**

[notreshan]

This was so fun to watch. The city the atmosphere, Sonny drunk and the awesome co-host and the food. I was smiling watching this. 😊❤️

[JapanbyFood]

Another fun video in Tokyo. We are glad you had a chance to experience salarymen lifestyle. This video is a great example of how local people enjoy their life in Japan.

[aaa]

Sonny: We are going non alcoholic, just gonna get some lemonade...

Guy: '*laughs nervously*'

[yourfavoritedrawer]

I always watch the entire video, not to help but because I genuinely enjoy the enterity of the video.

[uttamneupane]

He is drunk af.. But doesnot forget to remember one trip vietnam...

[archwns]

I think everyone watches these videos until the end, if they don't then they're really missing out. What a wonderful and insightful show, truly showcasing the variety of cultures and cuisines the world has to offer. Keep it up!

[TallMidget]

You know he is drunk if He talks about Elon Musk

[nhanpham]

The reason why I love this food review show is that you focus on the daily lives and cuisines of the local people, something travelers do not always experience.

[DonutOperator]

Bro, can I please come eat street food with you?

[flipkiller]

Sonny and Satoru drunkenly talking about Chicken Skin is something I never expected to see and kind of reminds me of my drinking nights with my buds.

[channelpolitica]

Hey sonny I was the boy who u met that was late to the Aaoji Khaoji veg bar in Pune and had missed
u. So I had to meet u at ur hotel. Thank u so much!!! I have been watching ur channel starting 2
years ago and it was a pleasure meeting u in real life !!!!🤩🤩🤩

[ccmi]

Sonny I'm offended. Almost nobody watched till the end. I know there must be a lot of us watch it till the end. I've always watched it till the "Aa peace".
Even memorized the One Trip line. 😅😂

Like good sauce we squeeze every last drop.

[EnterEscape]

I kinda wish Sonny had suited up for this video

[ranjan_v]

I always watch till the end, it's fun to see them sync "Peace ' with Sonny

[blank_disk_v]

One of my favorite episodes. I like how it's goes from just you 2 to now a whole group. It's shows how even in Japan, they can work hard and play harder. Nice
